Hey everyone!

So, right now I think @CollectorOfMyst and @OppositionJ are working on posts. Can I get a quick update on where you guys are at? No hurry of course.

I'll also be working on another post from Hassan's perspective at some point. And probably Ilya. Because he exists. Somewhere.

wanted to get in some actual emotion out of Stina for once. for those curious, his ring



it also currently doesn't have any power - though it might just be dormant. Pretty much I'll only make it do something if it fits the dramatic arc of a part of the story much later on and Lovejoy is ok with it doing something :P

@The Angry Goat Awesome post! It was really cool seeing the parts of Cero City that aren't traditionally T'saraen. Makes you remember that there are just normal everyday people in the T'saraen race who aren't super intelligent engineers and scientists. :p

The ring is a super cool idea! It's definitely a rare item, with the wood and the unknown stone. I definitely have some ideas about where it could've come from, but I'll save that until it becomes relevant... which might be soon-ish, depending on what happens. :p

Yeeess Oreeen

Btw, this OOC has been kinda dead, but the RP isn't! Not sure if anyone in the forum reads this thing, but we do most of our planning/chatting on our discord these days since it's easier. The OOC is kinda... yeah, but the RP itself is still going strong!

We're totally here in the forum too if there's someone not on the discord that wants to plot things. <3

Hiya!

Lovejoy said to direct general OOC questions here, so I'll post this here as I didn't immediately see it - what are the general content guidelines for this game?

In brief - if this game were a movie, what would its rating be? What level of violence are people comfortable with? What level of realism is expected towards things like injury or gore? Do sexual issues come up? Do any real-world political or social issues come up? Is drug use shown? Are there any particularly emotionally-weighty or personal topics that need to be avoided, like any player having an issue with abuse or addiction or mental illness or anything like that? I don't mean general rules of conduct for us personally, but content guidelines for IC posts specifically.

Do understand, I ask solely as I think it better to have a clear policy. I do think I have a general notion of the answer from a mixture of common sense and what I've read of the IC posts so far. But, since the game's been going on for a long time now, us newcomers might conceivably blunder into an expected but unwritten rule or perhaps be ignorant of something written a long time ago buried under a lot of OOC posts. And of course people from different backgrounds may have very different assumptions as to what is or isn't normal.

Or to put it another way, it's better to ask than to find out the hard way.

@SandyGunfox First off, thanks for asking about this. It's pretty important that people have a clear idea what kind of story they'll be getting in to.

All in all, if this were a film, I'd say we can go up to a hard R. I think we can allow almost everything barring like, extreme depictions of hardcore sex or anything along those lines (for obvious reasons). That being said, that isn't a blanket statement, and if something does end up being offensive to one of our players, it will be reviewed, though I don't anticipate running into that issue. If people know what kind of story this is and the world it takes place in, they should be ready for whatever content crops up.

Hello new friends!

So, we will be discussing your introduction into the RP here in the OOC. I've been making use of our discord channel for the past few days to have some light conversation with some of you about what your characters could be, but figured this would be a better place to talk about that stuff. It might give some of you who don't have discord or aren't super into using it some inspiration if you see our discussions here in the OOC. Anyway, moving on!

As I mentioned in the Interest Check, The Last Embers has been going on for a while. We started off with a prologue which was meant to be a short introductory dive into our characters, but it ended up blossoming into a full on chapter of the story comprised of several sub episodes with their own revelations that will have an impact on the story going forward. The prologue ended up being so massive that it took the better part of two years to finish. We kind of just adding more and more, which was partly my fault, but I digress. The story has now entered a point where the real actual plot of the RP will begin and it has room for new blood.

Your characters are members of Warband Goliath, a group of inquisitors who've trained since childhood to act as holy soldiers of the empire of Varya. Since you were recruited, or taken, or found as children to train in the Red Seminary, you have suffered and bled together under the tutelage of Inquisitor Gregoroth, the most feared teacher in the Seminary. Gregoroth is a heralded champion of the Lanostran War and a peerless warrior. He loathes weakness and wishes to snuff it from the world. A number of your starting number did not survive his curriculum, but those of you who did are spoken of with a sort of reverence within the Seminary. As members of his warband, you excel in hand-to-hand combat above all, but are no slouches when it comes to magic either.

Our existing characters, who all serve under the Warbands Phoenix and Leviathan, have had joint exercises with you throughout the years, thus we should all have a passing familarity with each other. However, the intertwined relationships and history of the warsiblings within Goliath should be well well-established before we start.

One last thing, each warband aims to work together in perfect unison as a divine combat unit, and thus two of the most important roles within each warband is that of the aegisbearer and the warleader. The aegisbearer being a magically-inclined inquisitor who upholds the aegis, a powerful ethereal barrier that protects against the life-sapping cold of the frontier as well as both magical and physical attacks. The warleader is a talented inquisitor within the warband who has been elected by their companions to serve as the leader of the group. The warleader comes up with combat strategy, looks to the well-being of his warsiblings above all and most importantly, acts as an honored representative of the warband. The warleader can replaced if their companions feel they are not living up to their responsibilities.

Hopefully that bit of info will start giving you some ideas about your characters. There is a wealth of info in the OOC and Character page to inform your creations, but as always, if you're unsure or need clarification on anything, let us know!

I think my character would fit nicely as the aegisbearer. I should have my preliminary character up shortly.

I'm more than happy to take on the Warleader. First draft should be in coming today.



Anything that needs adjustment now please let me know so I can make the adjustments. Its an unedited draft so any spelling, grammar, etc. will disappear when it gets final edits. It will also look pretty when I'm finished but I need a content pass from people who know whats up so that I know if I'm screwing some lore up.
