The Seer [A Traveling Roleplay] (IC Now open!)

@Izaka Sazaka @Amaranth The GM slaps these two silly for letting in random thoughts of depression. The GM is the ruler here and will not allow such thoughts to persist. "For Shame" thought the GM, "such negativity could impact my story. My roleplayers must always be awesome above all else." Soon after the GM thought, "Why am I writing as if I'm the narrator from the Stanley Parable?" For the GM realized that the GM had just been playing the Stanley Parable for far too long and it was affecting the GMs writing. Fight it GM and reclaim yourself from that story!

The Seer [A Traveling Roleplay] (IC Now open!)

As the Seer had walked along the route he had sensed a presence nearby; however it did not seem to be hostile so the Seer ignored the presence and continued toward the 'heart' of the town. The Seer could feel several pricklings down its spine, not hurtful ones, more like gentle proddings. The Seer knew what these signs meant, the fates were once again bringing some rather integral characters to the stage for another grand play. Unlike what the stories said, the Seer could not in fact control the events and information that flowed into his mind from outside his knowledge. The Seer did have visions to be sure but trying to make any sense out of them was sort of like interpreting a dream, even if the image was clear the meaning could easily escape. Thankfully the Seer had quite a bit of experience with this strange gift and therefore was quite good at figuring things out. It appeared there would be a few intersecting stories in this village that the Seer would be a part of. The large young man unloading the supply wagon, the traveler behind him, the presence that the Seer sensed, already a few of the pieces were starting to become apparent. Course a few pieces to the puzzles were just that, pieces, the Seer would put the picture together eventually, now it was high time to get a drink and some food. The Seer looked for the nearest place to get some refreshment, it appeared 'The Niirborhood Tavern' was the place to go. The Seer idly wondered if the owner had purposefully decided to mis-spell neighborhood to make it specially or if he really thought that was the correct spelling but that was but a small mystery that did not deserve to be found out. The Seer entered the establishment without hesitation. There was a rowdy bunch in there already it appeared but the Seer was not bothered by some noise. From some of the conversation in the tavern it appeared the Seer's reputation had preceded the mystic. Still as was usual with such rumor one of the most important facts about the Seer was just plain ludicrous, the Seer's appearance. The usual rumors were that the Seer was a wise old man who showed wisdom on his wrinkly face, was in fact a gorgeous and well-endowed woman, or was in fact a powerful warrior that used his mighty magics to lay waste to creatures of darkness. The Seer never made any effort to correct the rumors as it allowed the magician to travel through most towns without too much trouble. Being always on the move the Seer tried not to stay too long in any one spot unless there was a reason to be and it looked like Crosshaven might just be such a place. The Seer strode across the floor, almost making no sound when walking. The Seer made it to the bar and took a counter-seat with the men nearby. "Barkeep a pleasure to make your acquaintance. We wish to purchase a meal and a glass of honey-wine if available." Honey-wine a step up from most of the low end drinks but did not quite reach the levels of sophistication of the higher class, still it was not a drink a regular working man could afford very often. "As for the meal, we shall take whatever special you recommend to travelers in order to taste Crosshaven's flavor." Even just sitting there and speaking the Seer gave off a distinct aura or...differentness. It was not exactly odd just different, course the Seer's looks helped tip it over to more of an oddity along with that particular way of talking. The Seer was capable of making people curious, weary, confused, and pleasant all at the same time. It really was quite a feat.

First Story Arc - Crosshaven

In a world that is gradually removing itself from superstition and things unnatural, the Seer is an oddity of sorts. Perhaps the Seer could be described as an old remnant of mythical times past, an oddity, an unknown that both fascinates and frightens others. Still, the legendary still exists in places and not all locations follow the path of progress so perhaps there is still room for the Seer in our lives. Still...no one really expects the Seer to look like that. Standing only 5'5'' with black, long hair tied up in a tail on one side, and pale, translucent skin; the Seer is an oddity to behold. What compounds upon people's confusion is the fact that there is no way to tell if The Seer is male or female, a pretty boy or a beautiful girl. Usually when people first meet the Seer they try to decide what personal pronoun to attribute the Seer, as was the case with the farmer who had picked the Seer up on his way to Crosshaven. "So erm, young man?" The farmer asked as he was unsure if this porcelain figure sitting on the wagon seat beside him was in fact male. "What brings a fellow like you to these parts?" The Seer gazed back at the farmer for a moment with licorice eyes that seemed to be able to trap anyway staring back into them. The farmer was perfectly reflected in those glass-like eyes, so he felt the need to look away and back on the road. Of course the farmer was ignorant to who the figure beside him was, but figured it must have been someone with a decent upbringing, more so by how the Seer responded. "We felt a shift in this area and have need to investigate. Also I know fate has guided me here for some reason, that reason should become known to me in time." The Seer started looking around as they drove up toward the outskirts of town. The farmer really did not know what to make of his strange passenger. "Well...if you need a place to stay should be a nice inn just up the road a ways. Any case I need to turn here so you better hop off now." The Seer nodded once and then alighted off the seat like a feather in the wind, the black traveling cloak billowed around a bit before the Seer touched the ground. "We thank you for your generosity, I do believe your daughter should be born shortly. Many blessing on you and your family." The Seer smiled lightly as the stranger to the town made way toward actual population centers. The farmer dumbfoundedly watched as the figure walked on with no further comments. "How the hay did he know about that?" The farmer shook it off and turned his wagon toward a dirt road that headed toward his fields. "Still, must say I appreciate the blessin's" The sun was high in the sky, there was quite a bit of day to burn before nightfall. The Seer knew that there was a need to be there in this small town, now just to figure out what it was before needing to journey again.

I thinking I'm going to be applying for this, but I have a few questions pertaining to the extent of magic and some other stuff before I right up a CS.

• Given enough magical energy, could an inanimate structure be made animate, like a golem?
• Would it be possible to play as something other than a human?
• What about cultures in the world? Is this something I can just make up when making a character?
• Do I post my character into the characters tab when I finish it, or do I post it here in the OOC then toss it in there when it's approved?

<Snipped quote by Izaka Sazaka> Katawa Shoujo 2 was being developed by Music Box Studios, but then 4 Leaf Studios shut the project down. _{Also just sayin', Rin is best girl.}

@Scrub Mage

Q1: If you could acquire enough magic it would be possible to construct a golem and give it rather simple commands. I would take quite a bit of magic however and be a bit hard to control. Q2: Humans are the norm and therefore I think humans should be what most people play as. Depending on the race I would consider making an exception. Q3: Cultures will vary quite widely during the course of the roleplay. If you are traveling from afar feel free to talk about that culture, feel free to add to the mythos of the land. Q4: Go ahead and post the character when finished in character tab, if need be you can make adjustments later. Those who are accept for the current story arc will be put on the first post of the OOC. You guys have me remembering my first roleplay site, I remembered it with fond memory's, and a few bad ones too but mostly good. I remember I took a look back at what I did and the spelling and sentence structure was so atrocious at the start, made me wonder how I ever had successful roleplays in the first place. Still it was interesting to see my progression develop as a writer and man did I get better the more I did. Its almost traumatic to look back at those early posts though. I started out all those years ago as a Legend of Zelda Roleplayer and gradually expanded into other genres.

The RolePlay

The Seer roleplay is intended to work as such. There is a central character, The Seer who travels across the land and has many encounters with other characters along the way. The Seer will continue the journey no matter what happens and while the Seer is in a sense the main character it is really the characters the Seer meets along the way that drive what happens. So as the Seer travels different story arcs transpire, be they character driven or Seer driven with characters plunging into the story. As the Seer will never stay in one spot characters can naturally fade out of the story when their arc is done, that way there can be a continual flux of characters going through the story. How long will your character stay with the Seer, well that is up to you. This roleplay idea is a bit unorthodox to be sure so I'm interested in seeing what people think of it. The Seer character is essentially unknown in the roleplay and therefore will only reveal itself through roleplay interaction. The Seer has limited precognitive powers, hence the name, which can be seen as either a blessing or a curse, depending on the location. Some want to use this power, others fear it, people want to capture the Seer, kill the Seer, learn from the Seer, or just avoid the Seer at all costs. How will your character react to the Seer?

Role Play Setting

This roleplay takes place in a world that is just beginning to enter is renaissance period but is still mostly in a medieval state. Better technology is starting to take hold in places but the level of sophistication really relies on the location. As for magic, it exists to a certain extent. Magical beings are not common at this point in time but still exist but most people consider them myths at this point. Magicians for the most part no longer exist and arcanists and risen in their place. Arcanists know some old magic but for the most part supplement it with contraptions and chemicals that give the illusion of magic. The source of magic can come from at least two known sources, from the inside of living beings and from magic stones. Magic from inside people has been on the decline for quite some time, also magic stones are rare and once it loses its charge the magic is gone for good. This steady decline in magic is part of the reason new technologies are starting to be developed. Races and Monsters: The world does not have a wide variety of intelligent races, humans are the main population, anything else is rather miniscule at best. Elves for instance have faded into legend, Dwarves are just little people, and Orcs are fantasy. Humankind has been dominate for hundreds of years and anything else is barely even heard of anymore. Monsters have been on the decline for a long time as well, most having entered the fantasy and myth realm at least a hundred years ago. There are occasional sightings of supernatural creatures and some places can still have a decent amount of trouble but on the whole meeting fantasy beasts is very low in probability unless you are far from any civilization. Capturing a monster can fetch a high price with collectors of such 'endangered' species. Most of this age's 'monsters' are humans.

Rules

1. People will come and go in this roleplay, as such this allows people to easily go away for a time before they come back in or make a new character. 2. Respect your fellow roleplayers, if you start to act badly I will not hesitate to politely ask you to leave. 3. Do your best to have proper grammar, spelling, and try to have at the very least a paragraph per post. If I find you unable to keep up with casual standards I will ask you to leave, though I will give you one post to have your character go away somewhere or even die if you so wish, a parting post so to speak. 4. No god-modding without my permission or The Seer will crush you like a bug. 5. Cry to be creative, make up side-stories and get involved. The Seer is the center piece but you are the players.

Right so I added a section about the roleplay setting to the first post. Technology level is late medieval to early renaissance, magic does exists but pure magic has been on the decline for quite some time. Monsters also exist but are scarce, especially anywhere near human settlements. More details in the first post. As for weapons technology I would say crossbows would be easy enough to obtain so armored knights would not really be a thing anymore. Swords and other melee weapons are still used quite a bit though, magic not so much but custom made contraptions and chemicals can make up for that.
