I'm not fully finished on writing up all the things, but it's mostly explained in the opening. Send me a PM with your character once you're done or if you want more information.

The rules are quite simple.
Normal RPG rules along with a few extra.

Don't be an ass. Ass away IC if you want to, but be in character.

Actions have consequences. If you LEEEROY into a horde, you're gonna die. Nuff said.

Don't post in Characters until I've approved the character. I prefer you send the character to me in a PM.

Solve arguments in PM's between the two/more of you. If you can't work it out, create a PM convo with me in it as well.

NO GIFS....or faceclaims, just no. At least IC and in Character sheets. OOC is for fun.

The world of Telduria is filled with dangers and opportunities. The world is made up of numerous factions, kingdoms and alliances. Most of the time there is relative peace but every now and then wars and skirmishes breaks out. There is a council of nations which tried to mediate peace between the nations. Each nation is represented along with the guilds which span the world.

The guilds have an invested interest in keeping the peace due to how they work across the borders. The different nations make up half of the council while the guilds make up the second half. The balance in the world is on a life's edge. A powder keg waiting to blow, but no one dares to make the first move.

After the formation of the adventures guild and the mercenary guild most nations dissolved their militarises and instead the army is more of a policing force than an offensive one while the guilds hunt down dangerous creatures and monsters that appears in the world.

The nations have changed their ways from war to one of assassination, espionage, economics and diplomacy. World leaders don't tend to survive very long if they don't have guards with them at all times.

While officially there is no assassin's guild or thieves guild they do sure exist and are thriving like never before in the current political climate. That and the other guilds don't stop them since they also hire their services from time to time.

The various temples and religions have no official power part from some nations which are based around a belief. In actuality though they have considerable powers since they control the masses just as well as the rulers themselves. Get on their bad side and you might just find an assassin coming for you.

The world is there for you to explore, exploit or serve. Which path with you take? Honour? Nobility? Perhaps a darker path? Its up to you to decide.




This RP is sandbox styled with focus on player choices and actions. The main story revolves around the players but there are numerous things happening behind the scenes that the players don't know about unless they investigate it themselves.

For example The players might hear a rumour about a daemonic cabal which wants to summon a daemonic horde to wipe out a country. The players choose instead to take over the country themselves. But then Perhaps a few years down the line the cabal succeed and crush the country, players included if they don't deal with the threat.

I as the GM would act like the environment and control the NPC's much in the way of how a DM would in tabletop games.
The rules are the standard rules you are everywhere with a few add-ons which I'll post in the OOC.
Pretty much they revolve around not being an ass.

While there is an underlying plot line and events, quests, ect, the players have complete freedom on what they want to focus on and do. I wont also you on the wrist for killing a town, but fully expect the consequences of your actions.

Want to live like bandits? Do that. I won't stop players from living out their fantasy in the RP. This also means that the RP will always be open for characters and multiple groups of any size. Player choices can bring the groups into conflict with each other, which is fine, as long as it gets solved realistically and in character.

There will be an alignment, fame and infamy system which I'll keep track of in the OOC.
Amongst other things.

Feel free to invite others to the RP. Any and all that you enjoy RP'ing with. Due to the dynamic there is a distinct chance that the different groups may never meet, or a while into the RP.




You can assume a lot of what they do by their names. I'm mostly going to add where they are located (HQ), who leads them, and such.

Existing guilds
    Mercenaries
    Adventurers
    Merchants
    Mages
    Inventors
    Miners
    Builders
    Teachers
    Enchanters
    Tailors
    Blacksmiths
    Leather workers
    Hunters
    Crafters
    Shipwrights


Unofficial guilds
    Assassins
    Thieves
    Bandits
    Pirates





A plathera of player races

Assume typical fantasy races until I write up more about them. With the pros and cons of each race. For example a vampire is most likely going to get hunted if exposed, making it harder to play as one. But as a trade-off they are much faster, stronger, and live eternally.



Basic character sheet
Name The name that the character goes by
Titles Have you received, or hold any titles?
Age Duh
Race Until I write more about the races, assume typical fantasy
Training Have you received any formal training?
Equipment what you're slugging around
Spell skills Do you have any talent with magic?
Other skills Any other skills that are useful?
Affiliation Are you affiliated with any nation or order?
Personality A quick run-down of personality
History How did you become who you are today?

I'm working on a traveling nun of the punchy and icy kind.

Would a minor/off-shoot order of the Radiant Sun based in the very far North be reasonable? @Zhaliora

Gonna actually flesh out an app for the princess, since i don't recall making one c: unless i did and i'm an idiot.

Edit 2: Apps
Going to put the WIP apps here. I'll be posting all these apps to the character section once they're completed. They're using Maryvale's template so if you're wondering why half of their sheet is her sheet, it'll be edited when I have more time c:

Alright, I have additional profiles to add before long, but since we already have another member of the roster I'll go ahead and provide what completed profiles I have. @Delta44, my first character and yours may have a passing knowledge of each other due to their nationalities. Let me know what you think.

Profiles submitted to @Zhaliora via PM, and posted here in the OOC for posterity.

People of Action
  • These are individuals who have been out and about for some time. They have their own agendas and visions, but may be amenable to working with others for a variety of reasons.



Person of Interest
  • This individual is not the sort of wayward personage you would expect to go haring off with you on wild adventures - but they just might have some work or leads for you...or else, it might prove useful to take a look into their affairs.

If anything I'd say a small contingent or a small castle base of the order would work pretty well.

@Terminal I wouldn't be surprised, considering the infamy the two have. I assume Maryvale certainly would've heard of her, and perhaps Andromache might've heard of a new strongest knight wielding an unholy magic. If you're OK with it I don't mind the two knowing one-another in passing, especially since Maryvale practically grew up in the same environment c:

So, if I've read and understand correctly, this is designed so players can be more or less anyone in the world, interact or not interact with other characters, form their own groups with players, and pretty much do whatever in the world at large? What is the posting requirement in this? I ask because I'm in Grad school, so my ability to post is usually sporadic depending on my amount of homework and work schedule.

@Delta44 I have no issue with that, sounds great.

Working on a few additional profiles. I'm going to try and cap it at three or four characters for the moment; I have more in mind but I think it would be best to save them for when the plot unfolds a little.

Pretty much.

As for frequency, if I don't hear anything from you within two weeks, then I'll get worried. XD
Otherwise, unless you hold up others, there are no requirements.

What sort of tone are you aiming for? Is it dark fantasy in any sense or just more so basic high fantasy like a typical D&D setting? Or is it largely up to the players and how they write and handle their own parts?

The world is pretty dark and gritty, but if the players ignore those parts, try to change it, that's up to them.
Slavery is rampant, executions are public in some places, wars and skirmishes are abound.
Wanna improve the world through character actions? To ahead. XD

Hello!

A fellow roleplayer and I are considering joining this -- or basically we've already made our dicision and are working out things.

So I'd like to ask politely how the term 'Monster With ability to transform' is to be interpreted. Am I correct with the assumption that the transformation has to be from/to an ordinary human form in order to distinguish them from the non-player monsters ? And what other restrictions are there with regard to the monster-part that aren't already covered by the other rules of this RP and common roleplayer's sense, if any ?

@Fetzen
Oooooohhhhh finally a "more interesting" race. XD

The main race would be some form of monster or animal. Like a wolf transforming to a more traditional race. Or like a Griffin or other more monsterus races like a hydra. Its up to you. Just PM what you had in mind and we'll work it out.

The main difference between the ones able to transform is that they're fully sentient. In comparison their regular brethren which act mostly on instinct and animalistic cunning rather than true intelligence.

Ohoho, this exchange just gave me an idea for my second character, I humbly thank you, @Fetzen!

@Zhaliora, I'll send you a few more details about what sort of "monster" my second character is.
