[@Ves] Garren is approved. Please copy the CS to the Characters section. [@drewccapp] Suichiro is approved. You know the drill! ;) [quote=@t2wave] That is presumptuous considering your character hasn't been approved yet (at least as far as I see here). I would assume we could have some freedom in that aspect as kingdoms have risen and fallen throughout history and are not always large or written about. Something realistic for a time period should work pretty easilly. In the Interest Check we only talked about having characters from different times (the examples were Middle Ages and Victorian). I believe the idea is to take people that are from a similar, common skill level and throw them into a fantasy beyond what we experience here on Earth. [/quote] Both drewccapp and t2wave are right. Everyone is from Earth. However, feel free to make up imaginary towns/kingdoms/etc. to suit your needs. But everyone is essentially from Earth. It therefore follows that everyone is human, no exceptions. I promise every character is special in other ways. ;) [@Tatsua Aiisen] Yay good to see you again! Alicia is approved. Please copy her CS to the Characters section. [@cnash1303] The shift to balance looks good to me. Approved! Please copy the CS to the Characters section. [@BingTheWing] Dakota is approved! Please copy the CS to the Characters section. [quote=@Skythikon] Just gonna reserve a spot for my CS over here. Say, just asking, would an artist who was also a member of the local militia due to national obligations be considered someone in a 'violent' profession? They don't fight wars or do any fighting, they just pretend to be soldiers one week out of every month, or something along those lines. [/quote] This would count as something that'd need to be balanced. Just point out in the CS that the character has little experience and you're good to go. :) [quote=@t2wave] Ah. Then there is perhaps something I missed. Could you point me to the precedent so I could be better informed? [/quote] I can answer that! drewccapp is referring to a very similar RP that I'm also running that she's also a part of. Her character there is from a made-up kingdom. Which is totally OK in this RP too! Did I get everyone? -- I gotta go, I'll be back in a few hours!
