Noble Arms is now either four years old, or three years and eleven months. The third thread had lasted for more than one year.

My Roleplay, Noble Arms: The ASEAN War, will reach its 4th year in June or July. It's been a long journey.

Despite its massive flaws, my RP, Noble Arms: The ASEAN War, is still one of the longest ongoing RPs in RPGuild - It turns 4 years old in July and the current thread itself is more than a year old.

@TheHangedMan, hey, can we talk on Discord?

Also, want to have your character's predecessor be friends with Jehoel, my character's father?
Middle-earth: The Dominion of Men - An Open World RP by Letter Bee

It is the end of the Third Age, and much wonder has left the world. With the departure of Frodo Baggins at the Grey Havens, an epic tale has ended, in both triumph and tragedy. But despite the budding power of the Reunited Kingdom, the scars of war still tear through the landscape, as well as the minds of many. For Evil has not been vanquished forever, merely stilled for a time. And though foresight tells of the 'Dominion of Men', the road to said dominion has many pitfalls...

As the Reunited Kingdom mends its strength, turmoil is brewing in the ruins of Mordor, as the Human slaves of Nurn rise up against their captors, who in the meantime have their own plans for reuniting the dominion of Sauron and crowning themselves the next Dark Lord. While it is nigh-impossible that they would succeed, as the forces of the West themselves have proven, the nigh-impossible has been accomplished before.

To the East and the South, the kingdoms of the Easterlings and Haradrim are embroiled in turmoil, as those that worship Sauron are faced with those who remember the true creator of the Race of Men, the One Above All Thrones Forever. Coup, rebellion, intrigue and strife are their wont, but there still remain those strong enough to look to the still-recovering Reunited Kingdom...and see easy prey. If they ally with whatever Orc Warlord manages to gain preemeinence in Mordor, then the deeds of the Fellowship would be all for nothing...

And to the North, the Kingdom of East Lorien and the Kingdom of Thranduil live in coexistence alongside the Lonely Mountain and Dale, ruled now by Thorin III Stonehelm and Bard II of Dale, but face the remaining Orcs of the Misty Mountains, as well as the remnants of Moria, where despite the death of the Balrog, the Goblins still live in large enough number to pose a threat, a threat that is magnified by the fact that Lothlorien itself no longer has its magical protection.

Evil still lurks, Good is still vigilant, and all face this very fact: The world of Middle-Earth is now their oyster, but it is true for everyone else, and safely exploting it would not be always possible...

So, basically, this is a bookverse Lord of the Rings RP set after the events of the last book. This is an open world RP where you can play as anyone you like from the Books, or an Original Character, as long as it's not someone uber-powerful like Aragorn or the Two Blue Wizards, who are my NPCs.

The RP's 'plot', instead of being advanced through a specific storyline, will instead be furthered through 'General Events', spreading across Middle-earth, which everyone would then react to...or not, if they choose. Not merely that, but the goal for this RP is 'Group GMing', where most of the activity is driven by the players.

Short bio:

Rules:

1.) No Godmoding or Powergaming, aka no controlling other players' actions, no defeating your enemy in one shot, and no shrugging of all hits without an energy shield (which is impossible unless you're a Wizard), or really good armor.
2.) Be polite to others.
3.) No Movieverse stuff! No references to things that happened only in the Movies, like Faramir wanting to take the Ring!
4.) Stuff from Shadow of Mordor is only allowed if severely modified; aka if Celebrindimor is not evil, Gondor does not act like an evil Empire, and, well, things like that.
5.) Aragorn and the Two Blue Wizards are my GMPCs, as they are too powerful. Radagast is, however, open, as well as King Thranduil (don't portray him like in the Movies!), Celeborn, and others.
6.) Only Wizards can do Fireballs! Men, Elves, and Dwarves can create Enchanted Items, and Wraiths from Shadow of Mordor can do mind control and illusions, but only Wizards can do Fireballs and over-overt Magic!
@LetMeDoStuff@13org@LightningLynx89@Eklispe@The One@olcharlieboi@deathclawow@Ceta de Cloyes@Keksalot:

Not ordering anyone to do anything, but perhaps someone can try and open Morgana's coocoon with magic?
@liferusher, I'd like a slice-of-life RP with humor and occasional, optional battle stuff.
Who else is left?

@ShadowVentus, I need to talk to you on Skype about your plotline as soon as possible. This is urgent.
I've asked this so many times already, but who's turn is it to post?


On my end, it's @Sir Lurksalot.

Ascot Sky



Height

5ft?

Age

15

Gender

Male.

Race

Human/Angel (Seraphim)

Power

Seraphic Wings - Ascot can project a set of glowing, red-orange wings from his back, wings that go through one's clothing magically and don't rip them apart. With these wings, Ascot can fly as fast as a helicopter, or even a small plane.

Aura of Calm - Ascot can emit a feeling of calmness that dampens anger, fear, and pain, allowing people to think more rationally and soothing their hurts.

Shield of the Heavens - Ascot can create a magical shield that works against physical force and magical attacks.

Willpower of the High - Ascot is immune to mind control, unless he reveals his father's Angelic Name (coughJehoelcough). If he reveals that, he can be mind-controlled by anyone who has both the name and the smallest amount of mind-controlling magic.

Healing - Ascot can magically heal wounds, diseases, and injuries.

Holy Fire - Ascot can create magical flames that do not harm people he considers friends, allies, and innocent people, but inflicts damage to his enemies that can only be healed by angelic or demonic magic.

Personality


Ascot is reckless, but caring, and he knows that the first part is a problem. He also has a streak of self-centredness and self-righteousness he tries to suppress. Although he desperately tries to be good, he has also found out that his self-righteousness (ironically inherited from his Angelic father) gets in the way of actually helping people. Nevertheless, he feels as though Pakora Academy is a fresh start for him, although he'd done nothing yet that required a first start, thank the Heavens.

Oh, and Ascot likes both girls and boys.

Background


The Angel Jehoel, one of the Seraphim, was tasked to go to Earth in order to reinforce the restraints on the Leviathan, an entity of immense, world-destroying power. He did so, but was tasked to prolong his stay indefinitely; God had a mysterious plan. Said plan was for Jehoel to, in his wanderings, find love in the form of a mortal human, Rita Sky, a young lawyer with a desire to help people. Drawn to the young woman's eagerness to put her resources and reputation on the line for others, Jehoel, under a false name and identity, protected her as she went on ever more dangerous cases, eventually revealing himself to her, and, in his mortal guise, marrying her. And their marriage was blessed, as this was what God had planned all along.

Alexander, Jehoel and Rita's first child, was patient and precocious, with an early gift for manipulating the natural forces of the universe, not just fire. But he was also prone to moroseness and despair, a feeling that the world was growing worse. He doted upon his brother, Ascot, born three years after he was, with a fondness that was laced with fear, fear of losing his family. Little did one know that these were the whispers of the Leviathan, trying to gain revenge on Jehoel for restraining him...

But before this can escalate any further, Jehoel found out about Leviathan's whispers to Alexander, and went to talk to God about it. God, on his throne, mused, muttered about 'needing to clarify the real meaning of certain parts of Scripture', then said:

"Your son needs a boyfriend. Or a girlfriend. That will distract him from Leviathan's whispers." Jehoel, surprised, moved to set up Alexander with a neighboring 'compatible' boy a few days later, and it worked, Alexander's 'phase' ended, he became a happier person, and Leviathan had to find another pawn, as Alex refused to listen to his whispers any longer. Thankfully for the demonic creature, Leviathan found his other pawn in Ascot, now jealous that his brother had found someone else to dote on. In further whispers, he encouraged the impressionable boy to act like a prick towards his brother and said brother's boyfriend for attention, hoping to one day force him to escalate to something psychotic and fatal.

But Jehoel, now much wiser, interfered, and after giving Ascot a good talking-to about listening to entities that wanted to destroy the world, sent the boy off to Pakora Academy, muttering:

"He needs a partner of his own."

God, after his own remarks about 'needing to make more clarifications on Scripture', agreed.

I can't really think of anything to post until there's been more to go off, but I'll hang around and keep active until then : D


Thanks, LMDS.

That would be a good thing.
