Bio

Hello,

Welcome to my very vague and, I have no doubt, hardly inspiring profile. If I were to drop you a little bit of information on myself it would be the following. I'm just past thirty, served my country for eight years in the military, and I am now working in another Federal Government branch that is less camouflage and more leaning towards Investigative work.

I have attended University, earned a degree, and travel as often as possible, especially if the destination has castles, love castles. I work hard, I play hard, and writing essentially allows me an opportunity to refocus energy away from my job and into something that keeps me sane.

I despise fancy talking know-it-all assholes and everyone who talks a good game from behind the safety of their monitor. It's the internet ladies and gentleman, you aren't tough, clever, or mysterious simply because you spend countless hours crafting thinly veiled insults to people.

If you have an RP idea, hit me up. I am interested in Nation States Roleplay, and Advanced Roleplaying. Truth be told, I'd probably try anything once, to the point I enjoy played a Professor at Hogwarts once. The poor fellow ended up getting eaten by a Dragon, it was aweful.

Want someone who will get into a roleplay and not give a damn if his character dies as long as it advances the plot? Someone who will not give two hoots if his nation gets overrun and his people enslaved as long as it was awesomely done? Someone who doesn't mind playing a bad guy that's going to lose in the end anyway? Someone who just enjoys writing for the sake of story telling?

Call me.

I am here to enjoy myself, create worlds, and basically have a place to forget the real world. If you're looking for someone like that, I'm your man.

Cheers,

Risen

BATTLE MECHANICS


The running focus of this Roleplay is to engage in full scale Warfare. The idea is not to win, or to lose, but to write out the stories that happen during the course of a battle. If you can write an epic battle that takes a month for the two of you to move forward a single day, we love it! That is what we are here for. The agony, the drama, the glory, the heroes, the savagery. We want everyone else in this Roleplay, and anyone who reads it, to be imagining themselves in the shoes of your soldiers, your people, your citizens, we want them lying awake staring at the ceiling as they try to sleep saying to themselves: "What the f**k did I just read and when is the next segment coming out!?"

In order to facilitate this, @Clocktowerechos and myself have decided to go with a very simple Battle Mechanic. It is as follows:

Player Agreed Outcome

This is preferable way of doing things. You intend to attack your neighbour and take their lands! Rawr! Well, first, because we don't actually have real life armies, you must PM the person you are attacking. The two of you can then decide how things are going to work out. Once you have decided on an outcome, let the battle commence, amaze us with your epic storyline and ultimate outcome.

You can fight skirmishes, battles, or even the whole war this way. If you are both happy with the plan, we will not prevent you from making it happen. (Unless its complete bullshit, then we'll have words)

Games Master Controlled Outcome

In the unlikely (Hopefully) situation where two players cannot agree on an outcome, or they would rather just "roll the dice" and see what happens we will do exactly that, and roll the dice. Using this Random Dice Generator we will decide the outcome of the skirmish, battle, or war, based on the following formula;

1-3 Blue wins
4-6 Red Wins

Difficult to grasp at first, but if I can wrap my head around it, anyone can. The dice roll will be the final say and not a negotiation. This is important for all players to realize. If you can't Roleplay your losses as well as you can your wins, you probably shouldn't be doing life in general, let alone Roleplaying.

If you don't like the mechanic please feel free to look elsewhere for a Roleplay to join. We want to keep it simple, and preferably have players sort it out amongst themselves as I do believe we are all adults, or near enough to.

Once you've got the roll back from a Games Master, please feel free to work it out amongst yourselves how the fight is going to go. If one person refuses to cooperate, they lose. Simple.

We're in this together so I hope we will see plenty of player generated awesomeness, or some excellent "Well screw you dice" moments and their outcome.
@RisenDeadYE BLOODY MANLING, AH TOLD YE I WIZ FIXIN' TAE POST! I JIST HAD TAE TAKE CARE O' SOME THINGS. KEEP IT UP AN' AHL WRITE YER NAME IN THE BOOK O' RECKONIN'
........................

Don't worry we're still friends.


I don't suppose you have anyone around who can translate that into common for me do you?

@Lauder

Awesome! Looking forward to it!
@ClocktowerEchos@Lauder@TemplarKnight07@Supreme Commander@Aristo@POOHEAD189@Vocab@SomeChap@wxps350

Oi! You bunch, with the accepted character sheets; less "Wont my guys be cool when I some day, maybe this year, post" and more "proving it through super amazing posts!"

I am not double posting on account of you being easily distracted. Let's have ourselves a WAAAAAAAR!

@Willy Vereb

All good, thank you very much. Changes will be made!
<Snipped quote by RisenDead>
Am I the yellow? Not to be pushy...


On the west peninsula you requested? Yes. I just don't have a name for you yet!
@Willy Vereb

First off, I try to be polite around here. So if you want a change, feel free to request it politely.

Second, once you've done that, I'll make the change.

Thank you
MAP UPDATE




Alright, I think I got everyone and where they want to be. Any comments, questions, or concerns? No? Excellent. Now start posting!

Note: Different font will be used when everyone is settled and posting to make it look more awesome.

@TemplarKnight07 I have not forgotten your entrance to the rat infested sewer you call a home, but I am just trying to come up with a decent way to mark it down so it's not just a boring black round circle!



@Supreme Commander
Are you still around? If not, I may move Rhune into the region where Yore currently is so I can make war on more people!



Is this cool with you? The Commonwealth's lore is focused on dispelling and passive defense, lacking any offensive capability. This ensures that the waging of battles are reduced to mundane means, where the strength of men and will prevail!


We're more about "bang bang", but the gods can be helpful! I suggest you have some magic units as there is no guarantee anyones magic will work properly, or at all, in a battle, so if you fail to dispell or prevent their magic... You'd better have something you can tango with.





I like it, but your Heroes seem massively OPed, that said, just the way they're written I think, so it looks good! Put them in the Characters tab if Clock is good with them!
@RisenDeadAre Yore and Rhune on friendly terms, or do they still skirmish from time to time?


More of a "we've got bigger problems than each other" kind of terms... They are human after all. As soon as we crush everyone else, we can go back to killing each other.
@RisenDead
Would you prefer your gryphon riders stay unique to Rhune?

Not at all. I can't be the only one doing it!

@All - Another long day at work, sorry everyone. Forest Fires care little for the schedules of mere men!

If you have been approved by Clock, please feel free to move your character sheet over to the Characters tab and begin posting. If I notice anything all I'll mention it when I get time to read them over. Don't wait on me.

Loooooong day at work folks! Sorry. Will return to my duties tomorrow!
