~Swords, Coats, and Anime Tropes~



Welcome one and all to Aeldun! A fantasy world filled with mysteries and dangers galore that totally isn't just another generic copy-paste of what already exists! You have been called here, heroes and villains alike, from other worlds - by some god or another. Y'know, probably. That tends to be the usual way things like this happen at least, provided the universe isn't having an off day and just decides to fling you into the closest parallel reality of course. On the bright side though, there isn't a demon lord that needs to be fought! Well, not at the moment anyway.

In any case, feel free to make yourself at home! I'm sure there's some brigand that needs to be slain or quest that needs to be fulfilled somewhere...




Alright, first thing's first, rules!

1.) No god-modding, puppeting, etc.

2.) Don't be a dick. Also don't break the Guild's rules.


And that's literally it. I expect most people who join this have RP'd for a while at this point, both here and elsewhere, so I'm sure you're all keenly aware of the etiquette used in this hobby. As far as my expectations go regarding posts, I expect quality over quantity, but I'm willing to be lax overall. We're in Free for a reason after all. To clarify though, I don't need paragraphs if all you need is a sentence or two for quick interactions, but if you feel like adding or describing more then go right ahead. In regards to posting frequency let's try for once a week at the latest, and if you cannot post for whatever reason do attempt to let your fellow players know so we aren't waiting to continue a scene.

We won't be using a Discord, so please make use of the OOC tab. Character sheets will be accepted following examination, but given the satirical nature of this roleplay practically anything you make should be fine.

Finally, here's the template. Feel free to modify it to fit your character or theme, but be aware that anime faceclaims - or art that is adjacent - are accepted only. Additionally, clicking on the map above will take you to its Imgur page if you need a closer look. As for where our characters start, well that I'll leave up for group discussion since we'll all have a hand in describing and creating locations in the world.

@Dragonfly 9 would you consent to a sidekick who thinks Rob Lightning is the absolute bees knees and is too daft to know about Foxley?

I'm looking to play the 'overly loyal but daft squire' type character and I think it could be fun with Foxley's predicament. No sweat if that's not what you want for Foxley though!

I also have a character concept for 'android who does not understand humans even slightly' which is also fun to play and I'm trying to decide between them.

@Mae That would be hilarious, but I'll have to think about it.

The android idea also sounds interesting, though!

>Another user of edged weapons! Excellent.

>Also once everyone's sheets are in I want to go over where everyone wants to start, and what that location should look like. Personally I'm leaning towards the City of the First Light since it sounds like the perfect place for your generic lawful good city, and also has a dungeon/threat within a few miles of its borders.

There's so many evocative locations it's hard to pick. I'm leaning to near the Hall of the Goblin King/ glitterhold forest sounds like a cool early play location. City Under the Moutain has alot of awesome places nearby too...

>True. Hell, the City Under the Mountain itself could be a somewhat subverted or altered take on the trope of dwarves too, maybe have it be some ancient bastion of magitech or something.

@Zyx The real question is can I be a literal sword, sword-wielder?

>I'd prefer you to be an actual character if possible.

>Don't get me wrong. The idea sounds humorous, but also not really like much of an anime trope or subversion thereof. Or even a parody really, unless we're talking about someone who's a living sword with a humanoid - or humanoid adjacent - form who wields a sword as a weapon because they themselves have no one to wield them, then it might work.

@Zyx I was thinking like a literal sword with stick man arms and legs.

Two ideas

-Comically mysterious raven-haired/white-haired woman from the ancient race of plot devices- I mean elves ("comically" might mean no one can remember her name, no one can read her handwriting, and/or the adventurer's guild she works for doesn't remember hiring her, much to her elegantly concealed annoyance)


-The chuuni catgirl little sister who actually does have powers but they just never go her way (she poses and yells a spell name and something unrelated in the background explodes)

>I think we could do with an elf. Maybe one who can't be remembered because she randomly shifts between her dark and light forms, possibly with a personality change in the process? Not saying that has to be the case, just an idea. Also, do close both hr tags, so remove the space between the r and closing ], that way they display properly on the final sheet.

I was leaning toward catgirl-chan but I have just been told by a friend that imouto characters are lame and I have to agree
I didn't really know where I was going with the elf - this helps
I'll spend maybe two hours mostly looking for good pictures and get back to you with something more coherent

Alrighty, I think I'm going to pull my interest for now. Thanks for having me!
