Hello, reader-person, and welcome to this interest check thread of mine.

Inspired by a different RP on a different forum, this RP will be a casual slice-of-life RP with the occasional hint of storyline and plot. Set in a medieval-fantasy-esque world, it will revolve around our characters, all of whom are not quite human (or not human at all) living together in a large manor. I have yet to fully settle on exactly how everyone will have been invited, though I do know the why of it all.

Humans (the dominant species in the world) really don’t like non-humans, often preferring to hunt them down and sometimes try to figure out whether or not they were friendly afterwards. As such, it’s not particularly safe for non-humans to roam the world.

The manor, however, offers safety. It is rather secluded, allowing the inhabitants to hide from the prying eyes of humans. It is also quite comfortable to live in, which is also nice. And having multiple people there means that the inhabitants will get to enjoy strength in numbers, making life safer even if humans were to ever discover them.

Regarding the world itself, as mentioned before it is somewhat medieval-fantasy-styled, though more modern amenities certainly do exist. There will be proper plumbing, baths, and perhaps even a pool in the manor - the focus is to create a fun place for character interactions over a realistic and gritty setting, after all. But don’t expect modern things like computers, the internet, things like that. Devices/machines powered by magic exist as well, often powered by ‘mana batteries’. These can be refuelled by magic users when they run out, but often don’t last particularly long. Fully human mages aren’t particularly common, though, so the average peasant would have no use for such a device, unless they live in a city where they can pay to have their batteries recharged by a mage.

When it comes to species, I intend to let you, the players, mostly have free reign, though characters will have to go through an approval process of course. The full limits will come later, but will likely not be particularly restrictive. However, I will not be allowing massive creatures - they’re supposed to be living in a manor, after all, and a dragon isn’t going to fit in.

As for magic, I’m giving plenty of freedom there too, though there are some ground rules. Using magic always drains energy in some form (like mana, blood, doesn’t really matter, as long as it’s not free). It’s also almost always present in the form of ambient magic, though some areas have more ambient magic than others (often making magic easier to cast than in areas with little ambient magic).

The final design for the manor itself is still WIP. Feel free to suggest what kinds of rooms I should add; I already have a lot of ideas, but more are always appreciated. Similiarly, suggestions for the scenery around the manor, as well as other ideas in general, are always nice to have.

Let me know if you're interested, or have any questions!

Is this still open? Not sure how often I can post, but I'd be down for it if we're just doing it casually. I'll have time between Christmas and New Year's for sure.
