Synopsis:


Allaria is a multi-chapter Roleplay that has seen the successful completion of the first three chapters. It is a Fantasy roleplay that envelopes many of the usual tropes with some additional features to make it stand out. In previous incarnations, it proved to be a very popular roleplay that combined plot-driven roleplay with character driven roleplay, effectively making a game where, the end result could be vastly different from the stated goal. Not all of the world has been fleshed out, and due to Guildfall, many of the NPCs have been lost, as well as the laundry list of former players, not to mention many of the maps. However, much of the area known as the Hook has been fleshed.

About the World:


Allaria is a continent on a yet unnamed world. It comprises mainly of a Hook, characterized by the feature of it hooking around, two islands, one at the base of the Hook, and one in the Ocean off the southern coast, and a main continent.



Some of the notable explored cities include Valgar, a city that houses the Undead and has a strange effect on people who visit. The longer they stay, the more crazy they are driven(leaving reduces this effect, but is substantially harder to do if one stays too long). Rocoa is another notable city, as prior to the Apotheoses takeover, it was dubbed the 'God Capital' where all Gods were worshipped, freely.

The world to the west is supposedly uninhabited, however, and will be fleshed out as the series and chapters progress.

Allaria, the only explored land Kayfabe(storylined), is home to a variety of classical races, including humans, Surface Elves, Drow, Beastkin, Dragoniods, and Goblins. Each has their own God, except the Goblin race who don't believe in them, and their own 'Councilman/woman'.

The Story so Far




Chapter Five Plot - Recruit the Shadowwald!:


Having reached the Northern Mountains with Szazah in tow, the players managed to hand off the man to much fanfare with the caravan known as the Moving. The next group is in the final stages of planning the next expedition, one that will take them in the North Eastern Direction. Towards what is known as the white lands.

Here their mission is to attempt to recruit the armed forces of Shadowwald, the largest city in the snowy region. The leader, Goren Joquinal, is a member of there incredibly rare race if snow elf that build their homes in the drastic low temperatures. Szazah heard of the place while imprisoned, and sent word via transfigured mouse.

The trip will not be easy, as these lands have been rarely traversed, meaning what manner of beast and foe reside here are unknown to the masses. Szazah also heard word that the magic here is Wilder, unrefined by the rest of the Allarian standard.

There is much glory to be found here, new discoveries. But the Apotheoses may already have set foot here as well, in an effort to increase their range.

So I'm almost done with my character creation, I just wanted to ask, since I'm a little stuck on this, what would be considered a strength and a weakness?

You can use these as an example

roleplayerguild.com/topics/84719-alla…

Strength are mainly what you were good at, while weaknesses are things that can hinder you. They have to be something exploitable, not something that only you control or is extremely hard to make use of.

Kalam Tobli


Name:
Kalam Tobli

Age:
28

Race:
Human

Class:

Major:
A city guard

Minor:
Mercenary

God:
Michael

Appearance:

Kalam stands at 6'5" at full height, has broad shoulders with a lean, athletic build and a kind face. His skin is dark with bright blue eyes and a goatee covers his chin. His full lips are perpetually turned upwards in a small smile, only ever disappearing in extreme circumstances. There are no visible scars on his body save for the dorsal surface of his hands which look like they've been mistook for a cutting board.



Spirit Animal: Lion



Skills:

  • Incredible Endurance
    Kalam's endurance is incredibly high, from hours of having to patrol the city with heavy gear along with his old captain having him and several other men jog around half the city with full gear before the sun rose and the other half just as it set. It was torturous, but it gave him near superhuman endurance. It would take an incredible amount of physical strain to even make Kalam break a sweat.
  • Absorbance
    Kalam's shield was enchanted by an old friend of his, long past, to absorb a small amount of damage, decreasing the jarring effect on his shoulder and elbow every time he blocked an attack, thus allowing him to follow through with a counter-attack that much quicker.


Magic:
N/A

Strength:
Kalam's greatest strength is perhaps his endurance. He can, in most circumstances, push his body to its limit without even getting winded and uses this particular gift in his fighting style; using a mostly defensive style to tire his enemies out before taking them down.

Weakness:
As an alcoholic, his obvious weakness would be alcohol. He will often accept any drink from just about anyone without a second thought, and although he knows this is stupidly dangerous on his part, he can barely help it.

Another weakness would be the subject of his father. Although he is an emotionally strong character, broaching that topic cripples him both physically and mentally.

Post Color: teal

@Torack

Kalam is a good name choice, one of ym favorite book characters.

As far as the weaknesses, I think you need another. One that is more physical, like if he's big, then is he slow as well. If he's small, is he not as sturdy. Does he have bad eyes.

Currently, your weaknesses are more situational. After rthe first off hand mention, the party isn't likely to mention your dad again, and in face of the enemy, they likely won't be asking him about family history. Drinking is okay, but chances are you won't be getting hammered pre battle

He's one of my all time favourites too!

Aight, fair enough points. I guess I didn't quite understand the weakness part. I'll fix it up ASAP

That's a better weakness, but still seems slightly dependant on the whims of you, as you can decide what constitutes his limits as far as using the joint, or standing, etc.

Alright, fair point. How does being slow sound? As in he's slow due to all the armour he's wearing, which I'll have to edit to make this make sense, and his swing speed is not as fast as the average swordsman.

EDIT:

I've also lowkey been craving a Malazan roleplay so this works out perfectly!
