@Famotill
Let me know what you think? I'm happy to change whatever you want! I'm concerned about the enchanted blade Hrunting and its enchantment. Let me know what you think.

@MeleckHey could you shoot me a PM, and let me know what you had in mind? I want to keep the party at 5, but I think we could work out something else if you wanted to participate in this RP.

@ParzivolI forgot to say before that I love that Huntress skin! So sick!

I actually think he looks great and the enchanted weapon sounds pretty bad-ass. There are weapon enchantments in this world, just know that in the presence of erasure wards their effects are dampened. I'm impressed that you've managed to make a character genuine to the Trident tribes despite how little lore I've provided for them because I honestly didn't think anyone would be interested in them. I'll shoot you some lore info relevant to your character (things they might know, religions, etc.) in a PM. Apologies for not having more there initially! He's accepted, but I'm including some small things to consider for him as a character. Feel free to add him to the characters tab.

Things to think about for Sigemund:

Tribal naming conventions are a mix of the Scandinavian names that the Brith are influenced by and the more indigenous native names in parts of Alaska (ie. Inuit). Maybe his last name could be changed to suit that, but as I said Brith culture has influenced the tribes a lot so it's not unheard of to have the "son" naming convention. I'm fine with the name staying as is, but just wanted to give you a heads up.

Also, this may be something that we can work around if necessary, but the idea was that each character has somehow become indebted to the North Astorian Trading Company, a joint-stock trading company that has a lot of power and legitimacy. I forgot to include the letter prompt in the OOC because I initially included it in the interest check. It reads as follows:



But quite honestly I'm okay with characters getting here for different reasons if that works best for the party. It was really my way of giving your character a reason to come to the Dales. Let me know what you think in that regard.

Dislikes:

  • Mages, for their strange ways.


I think this may produce some memorable character interactions...

@LauderWe've been working on the sheet for a bit now, and everything looks up to snuff. You changed what I recommended already too so awesome :)

The only other thing I'd recommend is looking over some bard spells https://5thsrd.org/spellcasting/spell_lists/bard_spells/. Bards aren't inherently mages, but with enchanted instruments they do cast spells by playing certain songs/notes. We can roleplay the effects of her music, but to avoid it being wildly overreaching maybe just check out some general spells and either add them to the sheet or post them here. So I can get the general sense of the spells she can cast with her flute. Other than that she is accepted.

@Fetzen Vekyzz is accepted! Feel free to throw him on over into the character tab. The only person left for a character sheet is Blitzy, but if anything I can bring his character into the RP a bit later. I'll send him a PM about it! I'll have the first post up as soon as I figure that situation out! Thank you so much everyone for your amazing characters. I'm excited to kick this off.

@Fetzen@Kassarock@Blitzy@Lauder@Parzivol With the go-ahead from Blitzy (don't worry, he'll join us soon) I am excited to welcome you all to the world of Ithea with the first IC post! As I acclimate to writing a story I will improve so apologies for any missteps. If there are ever any inconsistencies or lapses in my judgement please feel free to shoot me a message and I can edit my post and make an addendum in the OOC.

I encourage collaborative posting, but it is not required. Kassarock and Lauder, your characters would have been on the same ship so if you'd like to write as though your characters have met that would be fine! Regardless collabing is fine for anyone in the party- just keep me in the loop. I am also available for collab posts. I find that these can sometimes ease the restraints of forum posts in combat and dialogue situations. That also brings the topic of discord to mind. Please let me know if this is something you all want to pursue! I can create a discord for our group. I want to encourage interaction and engagement with each other because ultimately that keeps an RP alive more than anything.

Also, I should mention that it may be important to read the sections labeled for other characters in my IC posts. Though it may not always be information your character knows specifically, it may help to piece things together so that you as a team can make more informed decisions. Feel free to ask any questions you might have in this regard.

I think that's everything, so I'll stop rambling. I look forward to hearing your thoughts/feedback and seeing what everyone comes up with!

@Famotill I'm open minded about a discord, sometimes it works and makes communicating/collaborating less labour intensive, but sometimes separating the OOC chatter off site makes an RP seem quieter and more apt to flounder. Your choice mate.

I really liked the personal touches and hints in that first post, got me excited for this. You mentioned an erasure ward on the dock, close/powerful enough to nullify any of the effects currently on my person?

@Lauder Do you think our characters would have spoken much on the voyage? Karlus would be pleasant enough if spoken to, more so if he understood your full circumstances, but I doubt he would have specifically sought out others company. The same true for Kjellfrid or with being away from her masters would her more outgoing side emerge? If so would we have told each other our purpose in Caracas, or would it be a surprise to find each again at the La Resplenda?

@Kassarock

There is a chance that they would have spoken, though Kjellfrid isn’t the one to seek people out. Odds are he probably would have heard her singing to herself, but she wouldn’t be anymore outgoing.

@Kassarock The pulling is slight. I imagine Karlus has a lot of experience with the wards so he’d know it’s a weak tiered one. This usually means that they want to dampen magic without outright stopping it- probably so they can suss out mages more easily. The items I believe you are referring to should remain unaffected.

And thank you for the praise. I try to make my IC posts unique and tailored for each character. It can’t be like that in every IC post, but my goal is to give you something interesting to read even if it’s essentially reading the same thing four times.

Wonderful. I'm pro-Discord because it makes brief communications easier and more convenient for everyone, doesn't require a post in the forums to clarify or indicate that a correction needs to be made. Just easier for keeping things coherent. Kassarock's point stands regarding it making things look quiet.

First post for Sigemund should be going up today, with that in mind. I'll attach a brief crew manifest of sorts to it so that we know who he has with him as far as shipmates are concerned. I don't like to have characters without names, even if they don't end up being main characters.

@ParzivolOkay excellent, I was going to start naming them if you didn't in your post, but I wanted you give you the opportunity to name them (and your ship) as they may play a role in the story directly.

As for the discord, @Fetzen what do you think? If nothing else I can provide my discord in PMs for faster communication, but I agree that a group one might help in that regard.

I'd also like to make note that your characters were given lodging documentation as well which could be used at the tavern. Just something to make note of. You can flex or lie or use whatever perceived advantages you have. You have a breath of options, but if you're unsure of something feel free to ask me!

PS. This isn't a hint, promise. Just want you all to know you can explore your options.

I've emailed a discord link to everyone :). For the sake of keeping the OOC alive I'll post general announcements here, and people are always welcome to chat both here and in the discord. Discord just allows for faster communications.

@Famotill What is Caracas like as a city, compared to the cities in Carthus? I'm guessing its somewhat similar to central/southern Carthus, but what about architecture, people's dress etc?
