I regret to say that I think I will bow out of this game. It's not that I don't like the idea, the story, and all that, but I can't seem to come up with the motivation to make a character I like. If anything, it would be a carbon copy clone of any of the other characters made. You got a nice lot going as it is.

Hope you all have a good time with this. Thanks for putting up with me.

@FantasyChic

That's fine FantasyChic, I'm glad to have had your interest. Good luck in your future endeavors--and see you in Requiem hahaha.

I look at it as they just got used to the lifestyle. It's not like Sorei was just taken over. It's been a long time and most of the citizens just got used to living that way.

Lol. I don't see why it couldn't exist. Isn't tea a drink with ancient roots anyways? Ancient eastern roots I suppose... But hell, it's not a big deal hahaha.

What's up people! I've got an announcement to make.

I'll just get straight to it, the roleplay will officially begin on Tuesday of this week. It's the first of my two days off and I feel that by then enough time will have passed since I put up this OOC. Anyone who has shown interest, but has not yet created a character will have today and tomorrow to create a sheet and send it in to me for review. Once Tuesday hits, I will close down joining to new members. I believe two more days should be enough time for anyone who has been mulling over a character or thinking about joining to make a final decision.

Keep the questions coming too. I've actually been pretty impressed with the characters and additions to the world thus far and the questions that have been asked. The way you guys are thinking is great and, of course, it honestly helps me flesh out things I may have forgotten or glossed over in the OP.

Thanks for all the interest shown thus far and I look forward to writing with you all.

EDIT - My character will be up later today as well. Normally, I'm one of the first people with a character up, but between work and reading over the approved characters thus far, I've been a bit busy haha. Seeing how people are taking the time to put real thought into their characters though has also made me want to step it up just a bit.

Nice, icmasticc! So fast and furious!

I would take a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO, s'il vous plait.

@Gordian Nought

Retro aficionado huh? That's how my family is. I've always been more into the modern, tuner-style myself. Probably a bit stereotypical lol.

(blushes overtly)

Everone has an Eleanor.

What's your unicorn?

@Gordian Nought

Nissan Skyline for sure. God, I love that car.

@OneWayOut is correct. Firearms are too modern for this period. We're more Dark Souls than Bloodborne. Melee weapons and primitive projectiles like Bows and Crossbows.

EDIT-Stake Driver FTW in Bloodborne lol

Definitely play Bloodborne. I was obsessed with that game for a good month straight before beating it. So fucking good. If Witcher 3 did not exist, Bloodborne would have been my favorite game of last year for sure.

Well, we are definitely starting the RP early next week. That I know for sure and was going to announce tomorrow. As for the people, including me and @Rockette who don't have characters up, we have 8. I only count the people who have approved characters thus far.

Tomorrow you'll get an official announcement regarding when the RP will start. To answer your question, I don't really have a hard limit because I designed this as a large group RP and I've run large casts before. I think anybody who has been waiting will be pleased by tomorrow's announcement though.

We will start off together in the IC, but there will be times we split into smaller groups.

Ah, interesting questions @Luminosity hehe. You're beginning to dig into the plot a bit, but I like the way you're thinking.

First, HP can only refill a few ways. You can be healed through magic, healed through potions, and healed when the party camps (or gets to a city). Nobody will have access to potions when we first begin as they will be introduced through narrative means. Camping will be a sort of regular thing as the party will be traveling the world eventually. Since this is the medieval era, it'll take some time to reach cities and things so there will be points where the group will camp in which case everyone's HP will be replenished fully. Because there is no combat in cities, entering a city and getting to an inn will also heal the HP of the character going to said. These are mechanics I'll explain just before we begin once this is closed down to new members because there's actually a free-roam mechanic involved.

This is the more interesting question and kind of digs into the plot a little; does magic poison the person who it is used on in addition to the person who used it? For this moment, I will say no it does not. Magical poisoning occurs when absorbing the energies from the air to mold and create the spell you want to create. Once formed, the spell itself will manifest whatever effect was intended. If it's to heal, it will heal, but it won't poison because the energy has already been formed and molded.
