[i][quote=@CollectorOfMyst]Hmm... you can consider me interested, for certain. However, I do want to take advantage of that Q&A you mention. First - presuming that we will have to travel to each of the cities mentioned, what limits do we have on origin? Are they permitted to come from these locations, only to have to turn around and return home? Or are they born and raised farmers who never left their village, duchesses and barons whose lineage presides over a village, wild roamers and nomads who settle in no house or home?[/quote][/i] No limits necessarily, though some cities naturally lend themselves better to homelands. Players will all begin in Vasilius, though no character is bound to [i]come from[/i] Vasilius. Character backgrounds are entirely at the player's mercy, and anything players are uncertain about can be hashed out with myself personally during the application process. [i][quote]Second - are we talking high fantasy or low fantasy? High fantasy including things like dragons, elves, dwarves and magic being day-to-day commonalities, as opposed to just a few instances?[/quote][/i] Dark Low-fantasy. The only playable race is Human, and Humans are by-and-large the only sentient race in Vassidia, though players will encounter decidedly [i]non[/i]-human entities throughout the game; Magic is intrinsic to the kingdom, though only a practiced few are able to actively manipulate it. Every Human has magic within them, and even your most basic peasant is hardier, longer-living, a little more intuitive than your average real-life person; many people can learn routine tricks of magic, but it takes a true scholar to be a 'wizard', and even most of that learning is that it's safer to find [i]alternatives[/i] to magic. [i][quote]Third - What [i]is[/i] day-to-day life like in this world? You've given us information on the situation, but what about overall life? Is there a difference in social class between men and women, Northerners and Southerners? How are different religions, sexualities, lifestyles, eccentricities percieved or permitted?[/quote][/i] Depends on where you come from, really. There are soldiers, farmers, barons, traders, scouts, explorers, couriers, caravaneers...occupations vary. Classism is [i]definitely[/i] an issue, though there are no mainstream prejudices around sexuality, race etc. Some city natives are a little less tolerant than others by nature of their hometowns (for example, Mornfell-natives are notably more distrustful and xenophobic that nearly any other city due to their almost self-imposed isolation) and all cities teach their citizens different values (all Kafaara natives [i]will[/i] be versed in the ways of the Barbed Church, believer or not; those from Marisma [i]will[/i] be more reverent of nature than any other cityfolk). [i][quote]Fourth - What is the stance on player worldbuilding, here? Obviously, characters have to come from somewhere, but as I mentioned earlier, we're only given six places - what about the rest of the world? Are we given the opportunity to fill in the blanks, provided you approve? Or do you alone shape this kingdom?[/quote][/i] Characters do indeed have to come from somewhere, and while I've only provided information on the six largest and most populated cities of Vassidia, you may notice that the continent map includes unmarked towns and settlements, and the world is more than large enough for villages that don't even appear on the map. Of course, if your character is indeed going to fill in blanks, be prepared to hash out said blanks again with myself personally during the process; a lot is left intentionally vague so that players really can carve out their own part of the larger story I'm telling. However, the cities are available as safe origin points for those a little more unsteady about their origins. Ultimately, write your ideal story, and if it doesn't fit into my ongoing vision for the kingdom, we'll tweak it together until it does. [i][quote]Fifth & Final - Can I thank you for making something like this? It's rare that I come across an RP that makes me want to know more.[/quote][/i] You are more than welcome, and how flattering besides! I've had this one rattling around my head for a long while - initially beginning as a yet-unnamed Kafaara and developing into multiple cities that would eventually form a continent and an overarching story. Always intended as an episodical journey, but one that would feel cohesive as a whole.
