You are an exile. A branded criminal ostracized from the northern nations of the continent, sent south to the Sea of Swords with your fellows to find a new life, or to try to hit it big and buy back your old one. Unfortunately, it's a turbulent time along the Blood Coast (then again, when isn't it?) and City State after City State is declaring war or betraying its allies. Monsters, attracted by the blood as always, are ever present. As intrigue abounds, conflicts rise, and ruins pregnant with treasure await, it's the first day of the rest of your life. With your blade, your wits, maybe a touch of magic, can you make your fortune?

The material on this interest check is a basic pitch and you should not rely on this material to preemptively make your character. This mod is not liable if you or your character is scarred, maimed, cut, stabbed, enslaved, gutted, keelhauled, hanged, eaten, rended, flayed, annihilated, blown up, pierced, sliced, or given any other harm, physical or mental. Any reliance you place on such material is therefore strictly at your own risk. This is a non-profit roleplay. This roleplay is not first come first serve. My word is law. Viewer discretion advised.

This is a non-profit roleplay


Idk what kind of self respecting mercenary is going to work for no profits jk

@POOHEAD189 Dammit, how am I supposed to get a sense of pride and achievement now? What else am I supposed to use to fill the void in my life other than rare, overpriced and recycled cosmetic items?

Ah yes, the EA mindset.

@HereComesTheSnow Glad to have your interest. And a topical Berserk inclusion.

should i spring for it i’m almost certainly going to make a character that is a shamelessly clumsy, earnest love letter to Berserk, so best to just set the tone early

I was actually going to ask, would we be playing as individuals or as mercenary companies? To use Total War Warhammer as an example, are we playing as Heroes or Regiments of Renown?

Also might be a bit early, but could you tell anything more about the setting like magic and level of grimdark?

It's about as Grimdark as your average warhammer fantasy novel, and it's individual characters, not companies. It's the player's choice on if they want to be 'official' mercenaries or just thugs and thieves for hire. To those whom I accept into the RP, I'd suggest they expect somewhere in the realm between Warhammer, Conan, and Greyhawk.

The magic is 'moderate.' As in, it's a step above low magic settings like ASOIAF or LOTR, but it's not near any D&D settings other than 1st edition where a level 1 wizard had a hard time fighting anything above a rat. Magic is for the curious or the slightly crazy, but it's rare in human society other than certified guilds, apostates, or particular scholars of old lore.

Essentially, if you spend enough years of practice with the right material, you can cast a spell or two eventually by calling forth the subcreation of reality. However, you're liable to kill yourself without the proper precautions. To be a 'wizard' is based on a many year mentorship and a good (or bad) bloodline, and depending on the area you're either seen as someone of great standing, inducted into a guild forcefully, or chased out of town. The latter two are the most likely.

I probably shouldn't for a myriad of reasons, but Imma keep my eye on this because this is a sick idea and this will at least give me time to seriously contemplate a concept.

Remember, I'm only looking for a small group of dedicated players. 3-4 max, so not everyone will make the cut. But I can make a backlog for whoever doesn't initially get in.

@Decimate@Lucius Cypher glad to see the interest.

Later tonight, I'll give the option for you guys to vote on a few small things regarding the roleplay. Then once that is done, the OOC should be up on the weekend.

I vote we change the setting to Sci-fi/Space, and we are an academic survey team instead of mercenaries.
