What IS on my mind?

Bio

N I S Q H O G



Loves Teddy Bears|Twenty Something|Can't Speak Russian|Is Potat


THE MORE AWESOMEST POTATO:

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.

@rezay I like that migration, I see no problem with how much they have explored. If anyone, nomads are certainly the ones who would know about large swathes of land from the beginning :D

As for population, I'm still deciding if it should be an actual data or just handwave it. So yeah, that one is up in the air for now. Not that it's too relevant. I imagine populations for most races are about 100 at max, no more.
@Dark Cloud I'd say simple writing at the most, but verbally it can be whatever you want. It would really hamper writing psots if we had to ooga booga, but if you want to make it simple in writing too then you are welcome haha.

As for culture, I imagine this is mostly the part where we don't quite have any way to preserve stuff and as such culture is mostly passed down instead of embed in books, statues or buildings. So it can be anything you feel like your people have managed to keep with themselves for generations. Simple religious or customary stuff I suppose, kinda like rezay did it :)
@rezay I'd argue that entire river could be called that haha. It is both the bigger one and the one flowing for longer. Would be nice to start naming things :)

And also, I do like the way you mark areas. Might just do the same thing haha

I'll try and put something together so we can see the maps easily with people on it. Once we start getting people settled down and deciding where they want to be, that is

PS: can't wait for roads and cities to start getting added once people interact and get things going. It will be super fun to build a world all together and add fun stuff to it haha.
@Klomster@rezay

I think that in general we want to build a world where everyone is happy with where things are at. Whilst it IS quite amusing to see cultures develop over thousands of years, I find it hard to imagine that it's easy to manage or comprehend haha.

To be completely honest, I feel that we can just get to a level of magic/tech we all find fun and go on with that. Cultures change over thousands of years, you can't really expect to have them stay the same over the time. As such, it might be ideals to focus on individual's stories and use them to show off the culture. As it is fantasy-ish RP of sorts, I don't think it's entirely unlikely that tech advances faster than in our timeline. As long as it helps with the story and RP, I'd rather not cut an interesting story in half just ebcause it takes time to research something.

But do tell me if you guys feel the same or differently. I'm open to any ideas :)
@6slyboy6I was originally considering having no shelters, but on an open grassland like that the wind can pick up pretty hard, and there's zero natural cover from any bad weather (at least, the occasional tree isn't enough to shelter a whole tribe, maybe depending on how many takhal there are). Also I wasn't sure of the natural range of the herbivores in the bestiary, tbh I sort of glanced over it. It would also require them to hunt, which I wasn't sure was in their nature to do. Maybe scavenge, but that's unreliable. I suppose you could say slaughtering livestock isn't that different, but perhaps on a psychological level it is. I'll give the bestiary a better read


At least you admitted to it :,(
@rezay Time passing is something I'll be very lax with. If people want to timeskip, then we can, otherwise I see no problem with everybody making their own stories and technology advancing way faster than normal. As long as it makes sense and we have fun, I see no reason to break a good story with a mandatory jump in time just so we discover a single thing

And I honestly thought your people were just fine sleeping on the steppe. Maybe primitive pelts from Krollan, or even Equus or from some imposing Rhinos. But I guess some sheep aren't bad either, we always love the addition of more megafauna haha

Also the intention was for people to name areas on their own until they come up with an agreement of sorts eventually. Just another interesting tidbit from a bygone era :D

Edit: Speaking of which, can you post your location in your CS? I don't really know where your guys are haha. Same goes for the others too :)
Alright children, IC is up! Feel free to write whatever you want to write, describe your race to everyone else and start a story!

Starting next post I will be throwing challenges and rewards at people to get things going and make it more interesting haha. I have a lot of ideas and things for you to explore, so go out there and explore the island and make some new friends, enemies or frenemies!

As for population, we are going to keep it vague for the purposes of reducing numbers to the bare, bare minimum. Just enough to keep things interesting, is what it should always be haha

With that I'm off to sleep. I will check up on you all once I am awake, so take care and I hope to see some great first posts ^^
A New Beginning




There exists a place somewhere far away, out of our world where anything can happen. The world knew no bounds when it shaped itself from nothingness, and it's inhabitants enjoy a bounty of natural wonders that we can only dream of. It is a world yet untainted by greed or pollution, where possibilities are still endless and limited only by the imagination. Magic flows with the wind and settles in every living being and wall of stone that it touches, warping and shaping the world to the will of those who know it's name. A world that is ready to be called home by anyone who embraces it for all it's worth and learns to live with it. A place we only call by it's name, Rhea.

What was dead, lives once more. Eyes all over the island look up at the sky at the shining ring of stones and debris that goes from horizon to horizon. As the sun rises far over lands unknown, it's light scatters from ice and water and brings the first specks of light to the morning. The sky is alit with a river of lights, shining up and then fading away moments after. There are hundreds, if not thousands of them where they once only saw rocks and a cloud of dust high above them. Dawn has been upon them for generations, but not once has the ring taken to such a colorful dance. It boggles their minds as to what it could be or what it could mean, but they won't know for millenias to come why it was so.

Still, the inhabitants of this strange land are filled with awe and respect. Every time dawn is upon them, they look up at the sky to watch the sun rise and the ring to fade, but this time... this time it is special. As if a divine force commanded them to stop and look inside, even if just for a moment, and then look outside at the world around them. Who are they. What are they doing. As they look around their hovels and count their numbers, they come to realize that nothing has changed yet the feeling still lingers on inside of them. Like a spark to be more than they are. That little cinder that has the potential to become a roaring bonfire if they take the right steps to get to it. As the sun slowly creeps over the horizon and it's warm light fills the plains of the island and seeps through the canopies of it's forests, the feeling slowly fades away as another day of hunting and gathering begins. Perhaps this was just a once in a lifetime spectacle. Perhaps it was something more.

Birds began to sing once more. Deer call out for their mates in the forest, the krollan let out gentle roars that are swept across the plains and the mighty koibra retreat into their caves for the day with one last hiss to let others know they are still watching. Sound returns to the island from the clutches of a silence that nobody seemed to notice was there until it was broken. Life goes on and memories soon fade of the spectacle. There is work to be done, after all. New hovels need to be made to protect from the elements. The animals need to be fed and cared for. The hunting party needs to leave if they are to catch the animals.

Perhaps today won't be the day that changes history forever after all. But if it was, it would be up to the many strange and unique inhabitants of the island to manifest their destiny. Each with unique skills they can use to help each other out for the betterment of all, or to make sure all others tremble at their mere sight. It is now up to them to create the life they wish to live and carve out a little piece of history for themselves. But whether or not this fame will last only from the first rays of the sun to the last, or be etched in stone and remembered thousands of year from now... that remains to be seen.
