Crossover Island

"I thought I saw something but nevermind...." He thought for a second then added, "I forgot to say my name's tiger." He looked embarassed which is an unusual expression for a beast.

Then he watched Ivy swipe something from Cas and he took a glance at it and nodded, "I got one too," He took his target card out from the knot of fur on his back and showed it to them, "Spike girl I call her."

((Calla and Weiss where would you say our location is now?))
Tiger proceeded back to the group after a few moments, having noticed the large distance between himself and the other three.

"So far there doesn't seem to be anything-" He cut off after having noticed something between Ivy and Cas. "Is something wrong?"

Dragon Rider Academy

Really short c.s.

Codex Alera anyone?

My general idea for preventing spoilers as far as location goes was an incursion into a foreign and previously unknown land, or set this in a time before the settling of Calderon Valley.

Is it possible to have both happen?

FateWeaver said
It's entirely likely that everyone will be playing a Cursor, or someone otherwise useful to a Cursor mission.

Hmmm. Would that mean that we are all good or all bad? Like our characters are all on a single side with a single goal?

At the moment, I'm favoring the new land idea. None of the PCs would have the advantage of local furies, and it would be somewhat of a gritty, survival oriented experience. Perhaps this is even a land devoid of furies, leaving the PCs with only their own to use in a hostile environment.

With an area like that I wonder what would inhabit it. The most challenging scenario for a new explorer of such a land-might be for example:
player vs. a foreign race and/or culture and/or lifestyle and/or language + hostile environment.

A few plot ideas: Someone has found a way to absorb furies. How they have done this is unknown. They have increased powers, but this as well they have kept in secret. What is known is that an army is taking over or destroying land. The destroyed land happens when the residents of the land resist being taken over. Why land is being taken over is fairly obvious-because of the greedy idea of 'world domination'. One thing is for sure, the land is dying without the environment's furies to help protect it, or perhaps even nourish it. If nothing is changed then everyone and everything could become extinct.

Another plot idea:
There is a council of for example six major powers of the world. There is eight major powers in total and for some reason two of the eight choose to deal with their own affairs independently of any of the others. Everything seems swell and there is not much conflict between the eight major powers until something new came along. Nobody knew anything about it, but then all of a sudden people and other things died. Each of the major powers of the council had a different idea about how to solve this situation. It seemed that none of them could change their minds to agree with another major power. As they discussed the solution though, this new threat grew and grew and grew. Now it is much stronger and if nothing is done then this threat will likely be the only major power in the world.

Also made a basic map of Glazend , which I will be putting on the first OOC post and updating as more locations as added. As you can see, Izumo is WAAAAY south, so we won't be reaching Boreas for a long while. If you guys have any locations you wish to add, please let me know and I'll make the changes ASAP.

Yeah I would like to start creating the capital of Sord if that is ok? (Asking because I'm sure its going to be a big part of the story, being that it is a capital and all. :P )

Codex Alera anyone?

Mistress Dizzy said
Yeah, like me. I haven't even read the third book yet.The problem I'm having is that... I kinda want to... expand Alera a little bit.

Well is this the beginning of a brainstorming session?

Either way, I'll put in my input. :P

To prevent spoilers, I think at least half of the world should be non-canon. That way it should at least 'help' prevent characters from exploring locations that people who haven't finished the series would not know anything about.

Also I think it would be kind of cool if there were some places in the world that no one knows anything about. (As to its location, it would probably be part of an empty space on all maps.) Well, except perhaps a few non player characters that are not likely to be met in the story.

Mistress Dizzy said
It seems it's like... I dunno, everyone who isn't white is a monster. Literally. I'm not saying it's deliberate or that Butcher's a racist or something- it's just sort of limiting my ability to come up with a character I like.

I recently read a guide on creating characters and it had five steps to it. One of the sentences in the guide was about keeping the idea of the character simple, because the complicated stuff about the character comes from how they interact with the world and make relationships with other characters.

So, back to your trouble. I would suggest forgetting about how other people see characters in the world/book and just worry about who your character is and what they are about.

Also, I'd like to mention that the guide was written by Brovo on this site and I found it to be very helpful.

Tales of Brilliance

I am pretty sure I know the answer to this question, but I thought I would ask anyway.

It will be night time until you post that it isn't anymore?

Also, I kinda want my character to sleep until morning if that is ok?

Crossover Island

Tiger listened to both of them and decided how to reply. Turning to yang, "Yeah, the schoolhouse sounds like a good idea. The more people we reunite with the better." He then loped ahead of both of them, acting as the scout against oncoming threats.

Games of Thorns

I would be in if this gets moved to casual.

Codex Alera anyone?

Can I suggest ideas for the plot?
