Oh I love video game soundtracks. Favourite soundtrack has to be Transistor as it's just a beautiful selection of heavier tones and lighter hearted beats. I went on a bit of a mad download session once with bundles and happened to download way too much. I know there's some stuff that I have that I haven't even had the chance to listen to yet. :P

When Alyon heard Fraya's voice she stopped her movements and placed her sword back into the sheath. "Yeah, I should be a lot better now compared to last night. Legs still feel a little like jelly but that's mostly gone anyways," she was speaking as she crouched down and bounced on the balls of her feet, ensuring that she was indeed ready for the continuation of their journey. "Oh and I'm sure we'll find something." I'm just not sure what it 'is' that we'll find.
Alyon had a quick thought about what the two would encounter trying to imagine what it was that could have tarnished the vast landscape with such a curse. Her right hand clenched for a second, possibly out of fear, or even anger, but just as quickly as her hands closed they opened back up as she pushed herself up off the ground and turned towards her friend and asked one final question before they embarked.
"Ready?"
The two of them ran across the open landscape on a direct route to the rocky formation in the center. With each step they took their feet kicked up a small cloud of grey dust and in turn left a series of clear footprints. At one stage they even passed an old carcass that was little more than just bones in the sand, a clear indication that anything that tried to live here was not destined to survive and even unable to supply nutrients into the soil.
Ahead of them, and at their destination, was a large doorway at the base of the towering formation. A double door entrance that stood about 5 metres tall and was made of solid steel, yet the hinge mechanisms were so well crafted that as the doors swung open they felt as though they were gliding on ice. They could see the detail of the Crypt begin to come into focus as the sun raised itself higher into the sky and they both closed in with each passing step. A question that Alyon was beginning to wonder was if there was indeed a Crypt within this formation, for what purpose was the tower standing directly above the underground labyrinth?
"Almost there, Fraya!" Alyon called out to her companion as the subtle excitement and fear began to build within her body. Maybe, just maybe she would have the chance to finally see what a true artifact was, but knowing the possible devastation that it was capable of was beginning to sink in. With each step forward she could feel her stomach start to tighten more and more.

Ah. Fair enough, @NuttsnBolts.
These days, even seeing such a castle doesn't really reveal all that much about it. The society is too changed from then.
We're also fond of using maps and 3D models in our RPs. They help out a lot.
Thats the weird part I found when I went to Japan and we walked through some of the old castles. I remember seeing the wooden temple in Kyoto, I think, with a 50m tall Buddha and was like, "holy cow... how did they build that?"
I know there can be a stigma with using images in some RPs, but sometimes a map can make the world so much easier to explain because it makes sense as to why certain areas are in certain locations, not to mention distance judgements.
Nice. I was in Japan a few months ago and was at a nightclub in Japan where it was all J-Pop. It was such a weird yet awesome night. xD
Sadly tonight I won't be posting. We had a 1 hour work meeting after work... it somehow ended up over 3 hours long so it's a bit late for a post and anything I put up will only feel rushed and half arsed.

You can edit the thread title, @Undine.
@NuttsnBolts Do you mean that you avoid fantasy if it is too european-based or that you avoid it if it is not sufficiently european-style?
I avoid European designs.
Being Australian I've never seen a castle in real life and the general European heritage style of towns. It doesn't interest me and does make it hard to visualize other than viewing movies like lord of the rings.
For the original post and character sheets I do believe some effort into formatting should be supplied. Its just the difference between reading a wall of text, and able to glance through to find the important details that you need.
Doesn't have to be coloured and such, just a heading or two, bold, and underline (like your op example)

I think what makes a good 1x1 is the ability to write a good selection of sub characters. They'll fit better into the world because it's your own world with only one other, as opposed to a group where you follow a certain lead... but that's a bit off topic, maybe... confused by the title and maybe setting should be swapped for "structure"
I usually prefer technology in my RPs and will do fantasy only if it's not too history or European based. Usually medium size groups with a slightly slower pace so that I can keep up.
I can elaborate more, just not sure what the topic is about since you mentioned that you don't wanna discuss stories and genre. xD

Out of curiosity, what sort of music do you normally listen to?
Like the song choice, but seeing the Scream Mask playing the violin is a bit... o.O
"I will kill you with music!!!"
Kinda sped up time a bit to the next day. Figured there wasn't too much we could do before moving on to the next location.

By morning the paralysis in Alyon's legs had worn off and as she got up for the day she took great care to make sure that her feet found their grounding. Her head felt fine but her legs felt a little like jelly considering that for several hours they didn't even move an inch. She collected all her stuff together and checked off to see what it was that she was missing. Great... No cooking pot, tent, and half the food has gone. Looks like we'll be hunting animals for a while. It wasn't Fraya's fault for leaving some of the items behind as without her Alyon didn't know what her fate would have been, but it was frustrating that due to the recent events they were now tighter on money and lacking some of the important essentials for their survival in the wilderness. They needed some coinage soon and from the sounds of it this next Artifact would not necessarily be the answer that Alyon was after.
Looking around she noticed that the Woodland Spirit wasn't anywhere to be found. Alyon didn't blame it since during the night Fraya was demanding all these little tasks from it, and with every new request Alyon could see the Spirit grumbling like like a child. Still it helped provide them a shelter and kept them safe for some rest. It didn't help Alyon though as she felt like she hardly slept during the night.
"Hey Fraya?" Alyon spoke to the sleeping creature as she put her hand on Fraya's shoulder and gave it a little shake to break her out of what dream she was in. "We'll be leaving soon."
As she waited for her companion to rise to the day she decided the best thing for her to do was her usual practice session. She had been laxing off for a while and considering the craziness that happened the previous night, she thought that t would be best to hone her abilities once more. Picking up her sword she casually walked over to an area that was free of trees, shrubs and stones and stood as still as possible in the open land. Holding her sword in front of her body in a vertical position she raised it out of the sheath and watched as it's silver body glistened in the sun. Slowly she moved her body around, gently swinging the weapon and making sure that each movement flowed gracefully into the next, practising blocking, parrying, and forward thrusting. Her legs felt stiff from the movement but as time went on she felt the flexibility that she once had begin to return to her lower body.
The two had no idea what it was that they would be facing when they eventually reached the Crypt, but with the right preparation it would ensure that they weren't walking into a situation that they couldn't handle.
