I enjoy roleplaying, a lot more then I would like to admit. My favorite genres are medieval, sci-fi, and dungeons and dragons style role plays. I find myself okay with GMing my own roleplays, but I would rather be involved in a roleplay where I dont have to build something all the way up and then regulate that role play as well as run it. I have many oc's as well, all made to fill in for different purposes.
I have just made us a chat room. This chat room is for only those in this roleplay so I don't want to see anyone's name pop up that doesn't belong. http://us20.chatzy.com/11334996507385
@Pathfinder Looks good so far, I would have liked a bigger biography then just one line ,but I am guessing you will be adding more judging by the title of your hider.
It doesn't have to be that long really. Seeing as you can always reveal that later on in the IC to the other characters. SO as far as I am concerned it is accepted. you can edit it when ever you want.

Biography: Erich Hellberg challenged the previous Jarl to single combat five years ago and obviously defeated him. The fight was honorable and just and once it was over Erich being the great lord of the region. Him and his wife Arielle live within the longhouse. She is a shield maiden and still believes she is one despite her new role now. Erich had trained and fought for the day he would take the mantle of Jarl. He did many fine acts such as lead raids upon orc villages and purging the filth of goblinkin from the land.
Erich was known as the Goblinkiller, for his hate for them grew every passing day as they raided the outlying farms and the villages storage buildings. He put out a bounty himself the day he became Yarl. The bounty was for each goblin head presented to him the hunter would be provided with 100 gold pieces. It did not take long before his territory was void of the ugly creatures. The campaign was such a success he decided to focus on other exploits. Like orc slaying, he knew there were civil orcs as well but they lived in the safety of this village or that of the city. It was the barbaric tribes who followed the great one eyed orc that he had his eyes set on.
At the Tavern, Blacksmith, and both the Goods and Alchemical shop he had a posting placed for a new bounty. Nailed right next to the Goblin one. This time he raised the ammount. Bigger the prey, bigger the pay. He set the pointy to 300 gold pieces per orc head, 100 extra if the orc was that of a shaman or chief.

Her beauty was undeniably desirable to him and she claimed to him that she had a dept to pay for his rescue. It was there that their relationship must have blossomed if such a event did occur.

She will not hesitate to commision a hunt if even the slightest rumor was sent her way of a infestation some where.

The Chronicles of Dosei: Chapter 1 A Medieval Roleplay by EWillden.
Setting: This chapter begins on the fifth day of the week, the time is set at noon in the season of winter. The story takes place in a country called Itari. The country has a bit of a cold climate in the winter. Snow is on the ground and the sun seems to nearly blind anyone unprepared for its reflection upon the white floor below them. Those who lived in the country were used to it ,but still managed to keep warm with furs or thick clothes covering their bodies. Some even wore hoods, but not to keep their heads warm but to shield their eyes from the bright rays of the sun that seemed to bounce of the surface of the snow.
Life went on though in the country. Whether you lived in the city or villages or the country side. You always managed to survive. Your adventure however starts not in the country or some fancy city with a battalion of armed guards. It starts in a small fishing village to the far south bordering that of another country. The village has gone by the simple name of Reisui, which means Cold Water. The lake in general was always cold all year around. However, the oddest thing about it, was that it never froze. Rumor has it, that a nymph lives within it and that is why it never freezes yet always remains cold and abundant with fish.
The small village consists of ten houses, a longhouse big enough to fit the lord of the village, one smith, one lumber yard, and two stores. The two stores sell different goods from each other. One store sells odds and ends from weapons to trinkets the owner claims to be rare, whether or not they are actually that is yet to be proven. The other shop a couple houses down is a shop belonging to a old wizard, in his shop he sells alchemical goods as well as a few scrolls. Nothing to fancy, just minor healing scrolls.
The Village also houses a tavern with room for fifteen guests with ten tables and a bar counter,and one barracks housing about twenty guards. The Tavern goes by the name of Karasu, which means Raven. The owners of the tavern is a drow elf named Vivian and her sister Cassandra. Every so often they take turns going out and exploring. By exploring I mean they take a wagon of food and a couple bags of gold to a secluded mountain. Why they take it there is unknown to the lord. He does not know, and with dragons being common in the region. He did not want to know. For all he knew they could be bribing one to either not attacking our village or protecting it. Most likely both actually.
Plot: Your character will start in this village, and by saying start I mean your character will either be in the village or just entering it. There are three entrance points to the village. Other then that it is walled in. The walls are made of timber and are often occupied and patrolled by the guards stationed here. The three entrances consist of a northern entrance, a western entrance and a southern entrance. As far as story goes, the story will go as you make it from conversations between the villagers or guards.
Your can travel alone or in a group does not matter. What quests you take up on is determined by you or the group you decide to join. The country and world has many Japanese influences and cultures but do not yet live by them. You can follow a Japanese deity if you wish though.

*Basically the same as above, however do take into thought that this is a group role play and characters who are over powered tend to make things not so fun for both the GM and the Players. So refrain from making the class you choose too op.
*Everything else from weapons and armor is also pretty open, again don't make yourself to op and be realistic. Don't have your character too weighted down with weapons and items.
*Some classes such as the Druid and Sorcerer have familiars. If you pick the two you get a familiar as well unless you simply don't want one. It is up to you.
*The world I created has many dungeons and dragons influences, mainly races, spells, monsters, and classes. The subjects just mentioned follow under 3.5e.

Well that's 2 spots in, we just need 1 more. If the two of you, know of anyone else who would be interested in the roleplay do not hesitate to send them a invite.
@rawkhawk64 It takes influences from dnd, it is not exactly dnd. No tabletop required. This mere takes in the role play aspect of Dand, only thing we are taking in from Dand are races, monsters, spells, weapons and armor. So don't worry, you can pretty much treat this as just a normal medieval roleplay.
I enjoy roleplaying, a lot more then I would like to admit. My favorite genres are medieval, sci-fi, and dungeons and dragons style role plays.
