______________________________________

It was a warm night when the Cervid star shower lit up the dark. Bright, heavenly bodies moved swiftly across the sky and signaled the passing of spring into summer for the people of Sedaia. For many, from the highest of noblemen to the most humble of peasants, summer was a pleasant and peaceful season. With the transition from winter well over and the year's crops planted, Sedians from all walks of life used the time to perfect their craft, enjoy themselves, or go traveling. The capital of Haydrin's Seat was a particularly popular destination as the country prepared for it's annual Celebration of Kings.

And you too are about to undertake your own journey...

...but it may not be pleasant or peaceful.

How the RP Works


The drive of the RP will be in seeing through each individual character's story. Set in the fictional, fantasy world of Sedaia, characters will undertake a journey - meeting and bonding with other player characters along the way, each chasing their own goals. The path each character takes will cross, wind, and run parallel to other character's in unexpected ways.

When a player creates a character, they should be sure to give their character a concrete driving force for their adventure. Do you want to play a bounty hunter chasing her most valuable target yet? A father on the road to find his missing daughter? A merchant out to find the thing that will put his rival out of business for good? A courier tasked with delivering a message of grave importance? There are many possibilities, the most important thing is to create a character you will have fun playing, and whose story you can get invested in.

So how will each character's story play out? Every player in the RP has a say in how each character's story goes. This will be accomplished through gratuitous use of Discord channels. Let's take Player A as an example:


With the story given a skeleton, the RP continues on as normal. Where does it go from there? If she has already met up with other player characters, will they help her escape or will they turn her in themselves? Once she escapes, what will she do with this new information? And most importantly, how does this story connect to others'? Perhaps Player B was actually playing a secret member of this family, seeking their long lost sister. Perhaps Player C's character is looking to start a country-wide coup, and has now found someone they can put on the throne in place of the current monarch. Only time will tell!

Wow, new record @stone. For any wondering, Stone is one of the people that expressed interest in the idea privately, along with @Aviaire. With those two, and the eight from the interest check, that's pretty much my limit for players.

As mentioned I'll be happy to answer questions or clarify things as needed. Thanks once again everyone for your interest!

How's technology here? Do they have firearms or modern-esque medical procedures figured out?

It is intended as a more traditional medieval fantasy.

Pretty much. Rudimentary stitches, amputations, blood letting, herbal remedies and salves, that kind of thing. "Healing magic" is not really a thing, but it is supposedly possible. That said, many things about the setting are malleable, as it is only a backdrop for your character's stories.

Is there an aristocracy outside of the ruling family, or something like an upper caste of knights and administrators?

I'd say so, wealthy and/or storied families that have histories of serving the royal family directly as advisors or other key roles, plus those employed to protect them.

As a quick note, I'm off for now but if any other questions come in I'll be glad to talk about them tomorrow!

@stone Eliza looks good. A paladin chasing a rumored artifact is a classic goal with potential. I'd only make a mention of where she is starting from. The Midlands perhaps? Otherwise, I'd say she is approved.

Edit: @PrankFox's character has also been approved via PM.

Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where's the streetwise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and I turn
And I dream of what I need

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
He's gotta be strong, and he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light
He's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
Larger than life

Nea


Nea Honeyforge ● 16 ● She
______________________________________
Appearance:
Nea stands at 4'11 with the stocky, rounded build of someone who still hasn't fully grown out of childhood yet. Though her hands are callused from long hours in the kitchen and her attire is such that no one could mistake her for anything more than a servant, Nea's sleek hair and pale complexion are her self-declared charm points and she's stupidly confident that she'll grow up to be a jaw-dropping beauty come two or three more years.

Reputation:
Nea's position as apprentice maid in the summer estate of Lord Mildred Karstein down in the Croplands precludes basically any personal reputation she may have. As with any maid in the service of an aristocrat, she can be expected to be quiet, hard-working, and punctual, though some leniency should be given owing to her age and nature as an apprentice.

Reason for Traveling:
A letter from her village in the Highlands bade her to come back, with no further clarifications or instructions. After stressing about it for a couple days, Nea asked for leave from the butler, and as Lord Karstein was unlikely to be expected to return to the estate in the next half year, he allowed it, sending the girl off with some extra wages to help with travel expenses. It's unlikely to be enough for the whole trip though.

Skills:
Having worked at the estate of an affluent lord for the last two years, Nea has become proficient in performing a variety of menial tasks and has trained herself to wake up at the crack of dawn, regardless of when she had slept the night before. It's unlikely that she would ever encounter something she didn't know how to clean, and Nea is especially skilled at butchering animals and cutting vegetables; it's why she had been primarily working the kitchen for the last four months.

Though an inexperienced traveller in that she doesn't spend her life on the road, Nea possesses the sturdiness of any commoner who lived their formulative years in the Highlands, and, in preparation for roadside dangers, has pounded a dozen or two nails through the business end of her travelling stick. Whether she possesses the will to swing it though with full intent of maiming another human being's face, however, is still up for debate.

Meta:
Nea exists so I can practice writing volatile emotions. She's not a trained badass and she's not smart and she's not going to keep her cool in situations that her job hasn't prepared for her, so hopefully there will be plenty of situations where she wonders what the hell's going on. This, obviously, may exclude her from participating in combat scenes, especially near the start of the RP. I'm not sure where her character arc will go otherwise, but there are two things I'd like to clear up.

Once she reaches her village in the Highlands, Nea will leave the party permanently, no matter whether the situation at the village is tragic (oh no, everyone's dead) or immensely stupid (parents literally just wanted to see her again). As such, I'm open to any plot hijinks, so long as it doesn't take the note of something like "your parents were in another castle, so travel more with us". Partings are also things that I never get to write in RPs.
