Let me properly introduce myself. I am Sir Spud the Fourth, and I have been a potato for the longest time ever. I never denied it to be completely honest, but it is only recently that I embraced it. Now I have evolved from a simple couch potato to a fully grown royal potato. A dapper kawaii potato. And I dare say, knowing that you are a spud, makes life a lot easier. Just chill and let everyone else care about all their meaningless things because at the end of the day you'll know: chilling is the way to go.
I try to spend minimal effort on things that I don't care about, and procrastination might as well be my middle name. But that doesn't mean I ONLY rest. Sometimes a 'tato gotta do what a 'tato gotta do. And if that something happens to be things I like, then you cannot find anyone better than me. I am an omnipotent being capable of virtually any task to a limited degree, and I am not shy to admit it. I may not be the MOST AWESOMEST in a thing, but I am sure as hell MORE AWESOMEST than most people are at everything. But hey, I'm not here to brag, even if I am probabaly better at it than you
THE DREAMER:
All those nights laying in my couch, I thought about the cool shit that I cannot do. That I cannot see. But I pictured them in front of myself like they were real, and that infuraited me. Then I found the Guild, and I lived happily after. I have been on the site for 2 years now, and I have seen many RPs, and played with many people. I wish I have found the site earlier, but I am glad that I've even found it. Now all those fantasies can be written down and my mind can rest at ease at night, without being constantly troubled by ideas.
When I RP, I love myself some good Sci-Fi or Fantasy. But hey I am filthy casual, I can go for anything with an interesting setting. I don't trouble myself on small details if the plot is good, but if you get somwthing wrong you can expect me to tell you about it. Some even go as far as to think that I am angry or something, but I am too chill for that. If anything I'm more of the funny type, so you can expect me to try and write some shitty jokes or post memes I found on the internet. Anyways, you'll see what I mean when we RP together.
THE ARTIST:
Used to be something else here, but I'm happy to say that it's replaced because of a positive change. I now work as a full-time 3D artist in the animation industry, churning out shot after shot for some of your favorite game intros and trailers. Can't say anything about them before you even ask, and even though I'm still new to the industry I love it and I already know that this will be my passion for a long time. So hopefully in a few years I'll have a proud portfolio of animations that were done by yours truly that I can show off to all the lovely people of the guild.
THE LOVER OF STUFF:
Now I may have hobbies like the above mentioned, but there are some more things that I love in life. Here is a handy list of things you can always talk about with me:
Gaming: This one I am quite proud of, I'm a serious gamer with capital G. Not as much time for it nowadays, but still true.
Music: All kinds of electronic music, but I am a sucker for Queen and Powerwolf. Or Breakbot... anything music.
Anime: We all have an Otaku in us, but it's bigger for some people. For me it's just big enough.
WORDS OF WISDOM:
Be chill folks, getting fed up about stuff is a recipe for disaster. You gotta learn to be patient and let things go, or you'll end up a wrinkly old man/woman with only bad memories about life. Even if you do fuck-all every day, you can live a content life by taking things easy. With that said, as always, stay safe and stay classy.
@MonkeyBusiness That is perfectly understandable buddy, I hope that your wife will feel bettern soon!
@Crusader Lord Yes, give me more lesbian huntresses dancing in the rain and religion! I had a distinct feeling your race in particular would love this event haha
@Tal Hmmm... great question, it is one that I've been thinking about for a while now. And honestly, do whichever makes sense for your post. I don't want to limit your creative freedom and imagination by saying you can only write things that may happen, because that would make for boring posts. But really, as long as what you write is not over the top, then it should be fine.
And once I finally show the tech tree I've been working on, as long as it isn't straight up contradicting/advancing that (since it contains mostly broad terms) then you are fine.
IC is up friendos! That took...way longer than I had expected or hoped. I'm working on updating the maps for our two voyagers before most likely flopping into bed because it's like 4 AM X3
Day 1, Week 5, Cycle 1 Springtime - Beginning of Monsoon Season, 17 C°, Cloudy
A month passed since the first sapient creatures saw the sun rise for the first time in their conscious life. 4 weeks filled with joy and laughter, as well as sweat and blood shed to bring about a manner of life never before seen. 28 days of relentless pursuit for knowledge, a deep yearning to see and feel more of the world around them, to understand it. 672 hours of having a mind of their own, a feeling of self and an understanding of others around them. 40320 minutes of millions of heartbeats that seemed to resonate in the air with every breath taken, with every muscle moved, with every cheerful laughter and every defiant battlecry. All of it seemingly impossible before spring, yet here they are all are, living and breathing beings who defy reason and rewrite the rules that their ancestors have followed for millions of years.
The warrior ants of the northern hills have gained sapience and learned to tame fire and recognize each other in a way they never have before, a different bond beginning to grow itself between the members of the communal species. The frog people of the great western lake have began calling themselves names and establishing a future for the younglings that they expect to arrive with the arrival of the warm summer. The forestfolk of the eastern peninsula have been hard at work trying their very best to protect themselves from the elements with their basic huts, their design more and more sophisticated with each day passing. The artias, once simple people have began learning to harness the world around them, using fish traps to catch food without the need for gruelsome journeys into the forest like they used to do. The aslanta have recognized the importance of order in their playful and nihilistic lifestyle, their joyful hours of playtime on the beach slowly transforming to something more. And the feighd, as if willed into existence by the universe itself without any prior warning and carrying with them a force yet unknown, have begun their long journey down the path of finding a palce for themselves in this world they have only graced with their presence for so long...
The two forestfolk youngsters who wandered to the ocean have seen for the first time many wildlife that dwell on the beaches, including giant turtles and many types of birds. Thought not uncommon sight for them, they have traversed down the length of a smaller river and ventured through forests more dense than anywhere else near where they live, all the while moving down the hills and losing sight of the ocean over the treetops. Their voyage was short, but they have already managed to discover a wide variety or flora and fauna that do not thrive on the grasslands and light forests they call home.
The young crowe huntress has made several journey up and down the mountains in an attempt to find new hunting grounds. On her trip she encountered the foot of the largest mountain in sight of their little group, and for the first time ever wandered into more dry climates, where the trees were more sparse and the undergrowth was much shorter as well. Yet the forest never seemed to end, save for the many cliff faces and hilltops that dot the mountaneous region of her group's vicinity. On her trip to the north, she encountered many sources of fresh spring water that seemed to flow abundant from the rocks before pooling into small lakes that disappeared down the mountain in the forms of fast flowing and crystal clear streams.
On the dawn of the first day of the 5th week, the wind carried the smell of salt deep inland, up the highest peaks of the continent and down into it's deepest valleys. The birds of the forest were awfully quiet, and the game of the forest seemed more reluctant to leave their nests and homes in search for food. It was the unmistakable smell of the great storms coming from the south, the winds carrying their scent hundreds of miles ahead of the clouds themselves as a stark warning to all that they were on the way. A reminder that they did not forget their old promise to return, and a silent vow that they will visit till the end of times.
The unruly waves washed floatwood and palm leaves onto the southern beaches of the Continent, along with plenty of fish that was unfortunate enough to be swimming near the beach. The caves echoed with the sound of the ocean and cliffs roared as the unmovable cliff faces clashed with the unstoppable and raging waves. By the afternoon, the clouds have begun marching across the sky over both islands, with light rain showering the forests and grasslands that made up most of the land, and brought life to the dry deserts of the mountains as their flowers boomed with vibrant colors.
But all who dwelled on the islands, even the animals deep in the forest and caves, knew very well that this lighthearted trickery of the wind and the sky would not last for long. Deep down inside the brain of even the smallest insect, the gears began to turn and survival instincts switched gears. It would not take more than several days before the sky would turn grey and spew lighning and thunder forth, bringing with itself tides meters high and incessant rain that would blur out the son for weeks, or days if they were lucky.
It was the calm before the storm, and the animals of the forest and the hills knew this very well, covering deep within their nests or scurrying around frantically looking for supplies that they could use to weather the storm.
Event Name - These events are mostly lore based and affect the story or culture of your people. They do not represent anything more than a suggestion or a faint knowledge that you can make use of in stories and build lore on it.
Event Name - These are important events that will play a major role in the story of the RP and will affect your people's story. Such events might be world related (weather, wildlife) or culture related (person of importance dying, factions forming).
<Tech Progression> Tech Name - These events are a heads up and a guide to show that your race has been making progress in certain areas of life that will have long lasting ramifications in the form of new tools and techniques, which can dramatically change they way your race can behave. It doesn not mean you know these, only that you are tavelling down the right path.
<Tech Acquired> Tech Name - Your race has finally mastered a technology that they have been going towards for a while now! Once you see this, you may add the technology to your sheet so that you may forever remember this achievment (until it gets overwritten).
Time Passed: 4 Weeks
Time Until Next Turn: 7 days
Events:
Everyone: Monsoon Season (Early) - As the winter melts on the mountains and the rivers run full, the weather changes every year and brings with it a plentiful amount of rain to shower the lands. But when the weather changes unusually quickly from cold to warm, unusually large storms may begin to form that can last for several days or even weeks given the unique geography of the Continent. Such is the case right now, as a storm cell approaches from the South, bringing with it powerful winds and the promise of great rainstorms. While some may find this very refreshing given the temperate weather of the island in general, it will pose a great threat as traversing the terrain will become difficult. Already rain is beginning to fall, and it will surely only intensify during the coming week as the storm approaches closer.
Crusader: Exploration - Due to hunting expeditions in look for prey and food, your people have explored new lands. Your map vision will be updated to represent this. Hierarchy - It seems that the foundations of a class or power system are already starting to take palce. Whether this is based on an individual's brains or brawns is yet to be seen, but your people are starting to take more notice of individuality. <Tech Progression> Hunting - Your species has made steps towards refining their tools and methods of hunting. They are yet to embrace more complicated methods, but they have taken the first steps to more complex approaches at trapping/killing animals to acquire more food.
Odin: Exploration - Due to the curiosity of a few members of your people, you have explored new lands. Your map vision will be updated to represent this. <Tech Progression> Basic Shelter - Your species has been hard at work refining the same simple methods of making dry shelters. While in no shape or form more than rudimentary accomodations, they have taken the first steps towards learning how to make more permanent shelters to protect from the elements in the lack of terrain features.
Raylayh: <Tech Progression> Basic Shelter - Your species has been hard at work refining the same simple methods of making dry shelters. While in no shape or form more than rudimentary accomodations, they have taken the first steps towards learning how to make more permanent shelters to protect from the elements in the lack of terrain features.
Caelum: <Tech Progression> Basic Shelter - Your species has been hard at work refining the same simple methods of making dry shelters. While in no shape or form more than rudimentary accomodations, they have taken the first steps towards learning how to make more permanent shelters to protect from the elements in the lack of terrain features. <Tech Progression> Hunting - Your species has made steps towards refining their tools and methods of hunting. They are yet to embrace more complicated methods, but they have taken the first steps to more complex approaches at trapping/killing animals to acquire more food.
Schyler: Hierarchy - It seems that the foundations of a class or power system are already starting to take palce. Whether this is based on an individual's brains or brawns is yet to be seen, but your people are starting to take more notice of individuality.
Ascendant: <Tech Acquired> Underground Shelter (Unique) - Because of the genetics and history of your species, you have access to unique shelters used by your race only that burrow deep into the ground and are composed of many little caverns. While not as sophisticated and certainly not as progressive as above-ground shelters, this allows your race to make a home wherever they can dig down and support caverns inside the ground. Cheap and readily available, has it's pros and cons. Hierarchy - It seems that the foundations of a class or power system are already starting to take palce. Whether this is based on an individual's brains or brawns is yet to be seen, but your people are starting to take more notice of individuality.
Tal: Hierarchy - It seems that the foundations of a class or power system are already starting to take palce. Whether this is based on an individual's brains or brawns is yet to be seen, but your people are starting to take more notice of individuality.
Note: This is yet again, very WIP, do tell me what you think of this, I have yet to come up with a great solution, but I spent great amount of time with this and I think it's an easy summary to look at from my point of view.
Also, if you only had just one lore thing (in this case that would be Hierarchy), it doesn't mean any less, or any more than the others. I did say this is supposed to be story-driven if possible, so I appreciate deep cultural lore that I won't judge a lot more than people trying to rush for some technology for them sweet gainz
Wait, no, I knew we were missing someone. I haven't seen anything from @MonkeyBusiness yet! Are you okay buddy? Should we be expecting our mountain lizards?
@Crusader Lord Did you know that this wikipedia link existed? I prety much leaned back, cherry picked what I liked the most and grouped them together. Right now I'd say we're on a very basic level, but I doN't have illusions about our civilizations advancing at a far more rapid rate than normal humans, at least until we finally meet others or establish a somewhat comfortable lfiestyle. After all, that's when inventions stagnate in the face of sustained weelfare :D
@Odin Haha, yep. Actually, my family used to keep track of time like that for a while, at least a distant part of them did. I always thought it was funny and unique, so here it is now, in play ^^
Hehe, I'm just pulling your leg buddy ^^ I know what you meant, though my fancy little calendar is supposed to be 7 days, then denoting what week is it, and cycle is simply the year. Of course, feel free to change that, but I'm gonna stick to my day/week/year timing myself. naturally different cultures will percieve time differently.
@Ascendant In a way, yes, but to be honest I consider pottery to be something that is in generally teh ability to form clay and fire it to make containers for fluids and solids in any way, shape or form you want it. As such, skulls and seashells aren't as much pottery as realy life primates using leaves to drink water and such.
And believe me I have the same worries as you. I want this to be fair and fun, but you'll see when the tech tree is gonna be shown. Which will be tomorrow, because I want to make it look sexy and not just useful XD.
Also @Schylerwalker, yes I will. That will be denoted for everyone after each turn (if they have gaioned any pops) in the Events hider. Spoilers, 4 weeks is not enough to make babies, but that might change soon enough.
ALSO ALSO, I'll fit in one more post right now seeing everybody posted! Time to get rolling now that we've got the core players in here and we're armed with our wuush wuushes!
