OMG!!! I LOVE THEM SO MUCH, THANK YOU!!!!


Aww, thanks! This wasn't too much trouble for me and I quite like to play with Photoshop whenever I can!

Ooooh thanks @MagusDream. Idk if I'll use them long-term, but I'll make an effort to start off with it.


Sure thing! And don't feel pressured to use it, to each their own posting style!

ooo, this is super cool!


Thanks! I tried to give each character a font to make it different. I don't have that many fonts though, I'll scurry around later to find some more.

Announcement


Everybody, I'm officially starting the RP this coming Sunday, December 11th! I'll be making the first post and, though later Destinations will be created by players, I'll take the liberty of creating our first Destination myself. I want the chance to get to set the mood, try to show what we can do with a solid setting.

Now, if you haven't yet completed your CS, there's no cause for concern. (Neither have I, even.) You can join the Caravan at any point along its journey- if you're done tonight or in three weeks, so long as the RP is still going, your sheet will still be read and reviewed.

Thank you all for your patience. I look forward to both exploring and building this world with you all <3


Alright, gonna prepare for Sunday and have everything ready on my end!

The excitement and feeling of community here are wonderful to see! I personally don't use fancy headers just to save on space, but I respect the effort you went to, Magus. And that's an interesting height chart too, it seems like our average would be on the larger side if not brought down by Cricket, who I didn't quite realize was *that* tiny.


Thanks! I also plan on making an actual chart to help organize some stuff for me (yes, I'm an Excel chart maniac) and I don't mind sharing it later in case anyone wants to make usage of it.

No apologies needed. The point I was trying to make is I think it'd be cool/necessary to have multiple pantheons and somehow they're all real, sort of like the Riordanverse or Indiana Jones. Your death and my death can operate at the same time without issue. I also wasn't trying to be accusatory of you taking from Pratchett, just wondered if it was in part an homage?


That's the whole idea behind Lord Jester. The Old Wolf was part of a pantheon that ruled over Oscana until an empire muscled their way in, destroying their temples, converting their people, and the former gods were exiled - not to the Material realm, but down to the Shadow Realm, a bunch of fallen.

Had they been more powerful, maybe they could have converted the invaders into some very ugly frogs, but they didn't get the chance.

@Expendable NOTE - Do not include that temple in any world building here.*

Grim was one of the psychopomps for the pantheon, but His power was separate, so He found Himself under "new management". Now He's sort of freelance, mostly with the old believers.

I've read Terry's Good Omens and the various Discworld books and even watched the movies. That last was a mistake, as Death's voice is what I hear for Grim.

Oooh, here's a concept - six year old girl trapped in the fairy realm for thirty-odd years. Her body hasn't aged in all that time, but she's gotten strong enough to wield a halberd. And she really, really hates the fairy realm.

@MagusDream

Thank you! I love how small she is compared to everyone else too. It will definitely give off a different dynamic (naturally with the height), since she will have difficulties talking to anyone or traveling or anything. She is going to have a wonderful time trying to get anything done. lol

Edit: The only one she will have a somewhat normal interaction with is Rita.

You say that, but who knows. Maybe Ark will become her Linguini, like Ratatouille.

When I was creating Siri, I realized that there would be some additional characters who step in from time to time as a part of her world, and I didn't want to surprise anyone when they did. Dia would be a companion to Siri and seen in her cat form most of the time.

And yes, I know it won't fool the fairies.

The Witch


The Cat


These next two are just NPCs that Siri and Dia interact with. They have no power in the campaign against the caravan or its people. Jester can't cross over to this world unless a place has been prepared for him, and nobody except a few can see Death.

Also, Jester is offering their grand unified theory on magic and Shadow Realm relations.

The Patronus (NPC)


The Psycopomp (NPC) - Likes to show up when things get interesting. Or for parties. He's bored.



@Tortoise Okay, ready for your review.


Siri is approved!

That said- the use of Character Sheets for gods and god-like entities is a little awkward. I would prefer that you didn't try to fit the Lord Jester and Grim into sheets that were designed for caravanners; it just doesn't function well. Plus, it causes confusion over what is and isn't a player.

They could have both been explained in hiders in Siri's sheet, or just outlined here and given more detail IC.

Also, many of the claims in Lord Jester's "magic" section can't be accepted here. Such as:

Many assume that sacrifice requires the death of a living being, but it can also be giving up some of the magic within all living creatures through the use of repetitious rituals like prayer or dance, directed to an altar. It's why so many gods have temples constructed, giving them a source of power they may tap into away from the Celestial realm.

One must be very careful in old temples and stone circles, as sometimes the altars has been depleted and will draw away one's magic if they connect with it.


This has far too many implications for every other player whose character has a religion. It would force everyone's gods to follow these rules, and it removes all the mysteries of faith.

I'm all for worldbuilding here, but that's mostly meant to be done IC, not with sweeping exposition in a CS. Honestly? I think this would seriously damage players who want to be paladins or priests or wandering ministers or whatever; now they have to make sure their character's faith fits all that you wrote.

So I have to reject Lord Jester, Grim and Dia's sheets completely. I'd rather you just mention somewhere in Siri's sheet that she follows a god called Lord Jester, and maybe offer a few paragraphs of exposition regarding what she believes about that god. You can do the same with the cat. But all this definite exposition about gods and demons? It's just a bit too far. We're only building our characters at this stage.




Ooooh thanks @MagusDream. Idk if I'll use them long-term, but I'll make an effort to start off with it.

@Expendable I was discussing this with Tortoise in a PM haha. Cause Mergoux is a servant to Death as well, albeit a much different form of her. Sort of like your Death, she's not likely to do much other than maybe pass on a message or two or something, but just for kicks here's her quickie CS just for kicks. BTW, is your death based on Sir Terry Pratchett's death at all?



I have to reject this as well, for all the same reasons as above.

As a general rule: don't make a CS for gods or nations or concepts or whatnot. Those are just for our characters, and I don't really want to make definite rules about the metaphysical as this early stage.

Cricket is extremely friendly. I believe she is going to be the type of character who tries to befriend everyone. So, yes, it depends on Ark and Yes, I believe they certainly will as well!!!

Understood. I shall edit out Grim and do a rewrite under the worship section about the Old Believers and Jester.

Did anyone ask for nameplates to be used when posting? No? Well, I did them anyway.


There are still some missing, but I'm scurrying through Pininterest to find images that are close to the character's description. But anyway, feel free to enjoy it!


Yooooo! I usually make my own, but dude, yours are hella good. Don't mind if I do!
