Group Fantasy RP

[Solace]

I'm interested! Keeping my eye on this one.

[RyderTheWriter]

Lots of interest but do I have any takers?

[MonkeyBusiness]

Are you still accepting takers?

[Priscilla]

Generally, expressing interest is seen as wanting to join the RP here, and people will specify if they're just watching

But I definitely want to join this, so write my name down

@Priscilla

Aha! Thanks for the clarification :)

[RyderTheWriter]

@MonkeyBusiness

I don't see any reason we can't accept more.

I would like to get an idea of everyone's characters so I can figure out the best place to start us all off at.

[RyderTheWriter]

I am working on consolidating all the information we have in here and then I'll post the actual RP thread and link to it here. Let me know if you have anymore questions in the meantime.

@RyderTheWriter
I'd like to know a bit more about non-immortal magic, and traits of the various races

If I know that, I'll probably be able to narrow down what I'd like to use a bit more

@Priscilla

I will get right on that, thank you for reminding me.

Magi

Non Soturi Magic is in contrast to the Soturi celebrated. It is a rare and sought after gift. Typically mortals who show signs of magic are whisked away from their families to study in colleges of magic until adulthood, they are afforded the best education money can buy - without actually having to pay for it. In return they are expected to help the King but that does not stop some Magi, as they are called, from leading normal lives, hiding their abilities or some even go so far as to join the Rebellion.

Magi are capable of much of the same things Soturi are but not typically as powerful, with few exceptions. They are however capable of things that Soturi are not like healing magic or wards. Magi who grow powerful enough can even turn back the ravages of time.

Races

Humans are the most versatile race as they are the most varied. They range in height from 4'11 to just over 6'0. They have various hair and eye colors. They are the most common race. They have a lifespan of about 100 years.

Elves are considered the most beautiful race - tall, slender and fair skinned. They look on other races sadly since their lifespans are much shorter than their own which can go as long as 2000 years. Some (very few) elves can remember a time before the tyrant king. They have a strong love for nature and the arts. They do not tend to like dwarves due to their temperament. They consider humans to be brash, uneducated children. Elves tend to have light colored hair and blue or green eyes and are incapable of growing facial hair, their ears come to a point.

Dwarves are the hardiest of all the races but rarely are they taller than 4'6. They make good warriors and have excellent night vision from their life in the mines. They are hot tempered and usually heavy drinkers. They take great pride in the length of their beards and braids. They tend to have red or dark colored hair and brown eyes. They have a lifespan of 600 years.

Half-elves don't seem to fit in anywhere. They have slightly curved ears and unlike their elven parent can grow facial hair. They have the varied height and skin tone of humans. Humans don't seem to mind them but elves tend to be wary of them. It is unusual to see a half elf living among elves for any extended period of time. They have a life span of 1200 years. They generally seem to have the impulsivity of their human parent.

Gnomes are short and slender, often mistaken for children. They tend to be of darker skin color from their time in the sun. They make excellent merchants despite their penitent for being silly. They are a generally fun loving race. They make excellent thiefs as they typically go unnoticed. They have a lifespan of 120 years.

@Solace@MonkeyBusiness@SomeoneSomewere@Sohtem

See post above, I think I tagged everyone.

[zackattack279]

Are you still accepting people? This looks really cool and I thought of playing a soturi if possible.

[RyderTheWriter]

@zackattack279 We are still accepting people

[RyderTheWriter]

Looking for s couple more before we start! BUMP

[Deserted]

So... who is going to be responsible for initiating plot? Is there going to be a GM story that you need a cast to play in, or is the GM simply going to function as a moderator and jump in here and there when they want?

[RyderTheWriter]

@Deserted There is a bare bones plot that will be set up with the initial post (by me). The plot can and I anticipate will grow and change based on the way players interact with each other. I'll probably jump in plot wise if things seem to be stagnating or things of that nature. I want the players to feel like they have a say in the story, it is after all, their story. Does that answer your question?
