In some ways, the guildfall was a blessing. It makes it harder for my original 2009 RPing to be found...

A thousand things to be done; plenty motivation.

Bio

Aeronautical Engineer
Irish
TV and Film addict

Been here on the guild since April '08, seen a lot of change but still love it. I've been on and off, I've GM'd fantastic projects and train-wrecks, it all comes with the territory. I once tried to make a YouTube ad for the guild because I'm slightly insane. In a weird place with the Guild right now, seems like so many names I knew are gone, but more than happy and ready to meet new people. Been writing casually for over a decade, a lot of that practice has been here. I have some small short sci-fi stories printed in anthologies but those are so heavily edited they don't even feel like mine any more.

When not on the Guild I'm most likely working, playing FFXIV or the Souls series or (insert recent must play video game).
Anyone with a passing interest in sci fi needs to read Saga by Brian K Vaughan.

Also, the OOC is a bit of a mess right now as hiders seem to be not working correctly.
Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't
I have one post in which the first eleven work fine, then the other twenty or so don't.
Also we seem unable to put hiders within hiders.

@Malevolent What if Being a werewolf was a gift? (like if during Duvs rampage the gods granted the races the ability to change their form to defend themselves)


Again I feel like such a fussy body, but there would actually have been plenty of magic among the different species initially. It would have been tiny, almost tribal like and curses would certainly play a part. It is just how I see it fitting in,

Of course if ye guys do really want it to be direct-god-related thing I am flexible. Just trying to establish a happy medium between letting you guys make anything, and the integrity of the plot I have cooking, that i hope you all will enjoy

Oh the vampire character would have been the traitor type villain. However the werewolf character I had planned will definitely be a good guy.Hmm, I'll work on the werewolf origin, you're completely right. All races should be susceptible to the curse, not just one race.


Awesome, looking forward to seeing what you come up with

No problem, I hate twilight :DAlso the vampire would've have totally have been a backstabber ;)Vampire's are a lot of work though, and as I've said before it'll be a hassle to search through vampire lore to find a medium. So I think I'll go with a Werewolf. Also don't worry, I understand completely. It does appear to be OOC of Naduir to place a curse on somebody, so no problem. A different origin for Werewolves could be made through other means.One question, although it would be OOC for Naduir to place a curse, would it be OOC for Dúv to place the curse(before he was imprisoned of course).


That's what I like to hear.

Ok yeah, I mean Dúv doing that could work. Although why the curse would change one species into another may be a little sketchy. The curse could have an origin in Enduwin from the early days when magic was very strong.

What I meant about good/bad is is your character going to be willing to be a member of the party as opposed to an antagonist. Already got several main antagonist and some other malicious characters.

@everyone in the ooc, there is more info, forgot to mention that when I posted it several;hours ago. Namely, info on magic and sample sheet layouts.

Oh god, all the possible races. I'm too indecisive D:Tempted to make a illusionist or a necromancer.Though considering you say you had enough magic based characters, I guess I should go with something else.What's the ruling on vampires or werewolves?I was thinking vampires could be a result of Dúv's last assault against humanity before he was locked away, a curse that turns people into a creature of the night. Which is passed down the traditional way, a vampire bite.Though it does take some effort to find a balance with vampires, since they've been interpreted in many ways. Unless we stick with traditional/ lore friendly vampires, which could work I suppose.As for werewolves, I was thinking it could be a curse given to people by Naduir, as punishment for destroying her precious nature. Werewolves would probably be easier to workout in a RP.


First thing first, welcome

The idea of a vampire could work, but are you planning on it being a good/neutral character or a bad one?
The idea of Naduir punishing people doesn't really fit, I mean life is the biggest part of nature in her eyes.
I said I want players to be free to create but when it comes to the gods, their views and certain magical limitations I am going to have to play the GM for what I considered to be the best for the story.
I am all for incorporating vampires or something like them into the RP though :D I will reiterate though, it is a mature themed roleplay and I'd like to avoid teenage cliches and anything even remotely twilight like

A note for everyone: Necromancy is out as it is part of the plot. There is literally a thousand things people could do/create yet ye keep going to the few things I have to curtail. Love you guys

I'm gonna throw in my somewhat late interest. Has Ju'ra been "claimed", so to speak? I had some ideas for that area.


It hasn't been claimed persay but it is going to be significant to the plot later on. Just be prepared for things to happen there if you decide to make a faction.
Shoot your ideas when ready :)

I'm getting that update now, so I'll hopefully be able to tell you what the third is in a few minutes.
