Forum hopping allows for the same thing, it is crazy. Usually, I see some interesting stuff.

I'm interested in string manipulation and card manipulation, as well as more realistic combat, like with my boxers.

Allaria Ch. 4: Rescue and Escape

You would be surprised what a good shank in' can do. Hahaha.

I just wanted further explanation for it.

You can place the Good Doctor in the CS thing. And I need your color, nah'mean.

Everyone can, I can accept them there.

Allaria Ch. 4: Rescue and Escape

@MelonHead Good character, though I'd like you to further explain how those weaknesses are actual weaknesses. I can sort of see the second one, but ultimately that one would come down to you deciding which cues he'd miss.

The first goes over my head, as, I never really see not using X weapon as a weakness when you have another weapon, that can probably be augmented with poison.

Allaria Ch. 4: Rescue and Escape

Race and Gods

Races/Gods

Human: Tall, strong, quick. Often wearing light armor, or heavy armor. Intelligent, able to become skilled in many weapons, including swords and bows, as well as all magic. The most compatible for a large selection of skills. The drawback, is they are only average in all skills, which lends to their ability to learn most things all around. Thus, growing in one, means leaving others behind to be picked up later.

Surface Elves: Standing at or around 5'11, they have gold tinted skin, pointed ears, and slightly almond shaped eyes. Generally always with blue to green eyes the Elves are forest dwellers. With intellect beyond that of most other races. Quite commonly in Light armor, if any. Their defenses are small, and they are incapable of learning Dark Arts, mostly.

Drow: Around 5’7”, lean, quick. Mostly wears light armor, for mobility. Fond of the Darker areas; as it reminds them of the underdark. Highly intelligent, Drow are the best spell caster when it comes to the power of a spell. Feared for the power of their spells, though they are often slower in casting than their Surface-bound cousins. They suffer from the same lack of defense, as the Surface elves as well.

Dwarves: Short, and stocky. Wears heavy armor. Excellent night vision, and somewhat exceptional daylight vision. Proficient in navigating mazes, and caves. This race is quite powerful, their stout size allows for their muscles to be bound tighter together, making for harder blows and increased endurance. However, what they have in power and endurance, they lack in speed and agility; as well, many of them do not have an affinity for magic, but make up for it in their ability to build things in half the time it would take another race. There is the extremely rare dwarves mage.

Dragoniods: This race is a rarity in of itself; being picked off by the Minotaur, due to their mutual distrust of each other. Capable of gliding several seconds, but not capable of extended flight. While smart in terms of the environment and battle tactics, they are quite dense in other areas, and lack speed a bit. This is made up by their strength and defense, the latter of which doesn’t hold up to a Dwarf’s. They are proficient in Magic, but not nearly as much as a human,

Beastkin: These have taken the place of the Minotaur race, to allow for more types of creatures. They are strong, and have many of the same basic advantages of animals, as well as losing some. There are many different sects, as some congregated based off what animal they are, and some live in a happy harmony, so to speak. They aren’t very magically inclined, most of their magic is based on self, and not so much as projecting magic. Prominent races include Minotaur, where one is a prominent member of the Apotheoses and Tengu, one of the Warlords, while the rest usually stick to themselves.

Goblin: Goblins are very short creatures, who believe in no God, but hold to the spirituality behind Reincarnation. They believe that when they die, they’ll simply be born as something as based off their deeds in their past life

Gods: These are always NPC, and will only serve to bend the PCs in a certain direction. Unless a person prays to that God, specifically, they won’t see them if they show up. It is not necessary to believe in any God.

Michael: The primary Human God; often appearing in a pristine set of armor.

El’I: The God of the Surface Elves; brother to the merciless God, Lloth. His teachings lend towards the way of good magic and how it affects the world we live in. Elves pray to him for guidance of their magic and protection of their home.

Lloth: The Black Goddess of the Drow. Most respect, fear, and love this Goddess, despite her tendency to be the harshest of the Gods.

Abbathor: The strong God of the Dwarves. Little is known about him, as most records show him constantly hammering away at his anvil; attempting to build a weapon, or material that outstrips anything before it. Dwarves have said that his blessings come in the form of better buildings and strength, something they value greatly.

Ouroboros: The God of the Dragonoids, and several snake-lizard-Dragon races in the world of Allaria. His true form is rarely seen, as it is often the form of the person he is appearing before. His mind state is psychotic at best.

Anomandaris: This is the God of the Beastkin, often appearing as a Minotaur or a Lion. He resides with the rest of the Gods, and often has a very war-like attitude when it comes to the events of those below.

Reincarnation: This would be the primary ‘God’ of the Godless race, the Goblins. They don’t believe in Gods, but to be represented, they were allowed to send one representative to reside with the rest. It often appears as a rotating set, from butterfly, to cat, to human, to butterfly.

Allaria Ch. 4: Rescue and Escape

Bestiary

Ursines

Name: Polaris
Size(Height/Weight): Six feet on all four paws, twelve on the back two. 2,950 pounds.
Area: Mostly found along the coast, where the forest is dense and there is access to the oceans.
Description: The Polaris Bear, commonly referred to as Polaris, is a fairly hard to find creature. Only an estimated thirty exist. They almost all have burnt orange fur, though one has been known to have black fur with a burnt orange underside. Their fur, unlike the common bear fur, is more akin to a German Sheppard’s. Their paws are between a foot, and sixteen inches long, and half as wide. Tough skin makes them harder to kill, as well.

Due to genetic mutation, their blood has altered their claws, which are a fearsome three to four inches long, into a metallic form - making them sharper than before. Their blood also has the peculiar property which makes them infertile, but also able to be reborn. If their blood is spilled, and not burned or otherwise disposed off, they can spawn up to two more Polaris Bears.

They are aggressive hunters, even going so far as attacking people if they stumble across them. Their normal food includes large elk, and oddly, great white sharks. They are wildly territorial, but have no loyalty to others of their kind, more often than not just staying out of each other’s way. It has only been reported once that two Polaris bears inhabited the same area.

Name: FleshBeast
Size(Height/Weight): Varied size, depending on what the flesh beast resembles.
Area: Commonly found in Valgar, city of the Undead, though at least one is known to work for the Apotheoses.
Description: Like all of the species inhabiting Valgar, the Fleshbeast is a reanimated deceased creature. They have no real magic, though some do have magical abilities, with the most known being able to shape shift.

Name: Undead Leviathan
Size(Height/Weight):
Area: Formerly off the coast of Valgar, current whereabouts are unknown to the general populace.
Description: The Undead Leviathan, also known as One of the Allarian Three, is one of the legendary creatures of Allarian History. It forms a trio with the Roccaon Chimera, and the Emperor Dragon. It is made now of bones magically mended together and dilapidated flesh stitched to it. It is an omnivore. It was killed by a legendary fisherman, named Bolit Heger and his crew, all of whom died within weeks of returning to shore. When Valgar was created some years later by a infamous Necromancer, he inadvertently drew the bones of the Leviathan to the coast of Valgar, where it remained in rest until recently.

Name:
Size(Height/Weight): Average size of a goldfish
Area: Freshwater rivers of Allaria, very populace, especially in the Southern parts of the country.
Description: These tiny carnivorous fish are the bane of many river fishermen, though they have developed some form of defense against them. They like to eat meat and often will settle for the bait fishermen use. While extremely common, many small villages use them as badges of honor - particularly, having proof of being in the water with them.

Expectation

I really want this to succeed, so I expect everyone to play their part and play it well. I want everyone to end this with new friends and roleplay partners, as well as a sense of accomplishment.

This is set in Advanced, so I would like Advanced standards. You don’t have to post as much as I do, but I want you all pushing the story. If not, then why even come here?

The participant limit will be down to at most five, however, if entry interest is sufficiently enough to have a team of people on either side, then I’ll come up with a suitable way to get everyone on board.

I also expect differing characters, while they may be of the same race, I don’t want all of them to be mages or warriors straight out of the gate. Make something you can grow into. Detail the change from a simple baker to fame, or infamy. Character Development should be the main point of this RP. Real Personalities, and not generic cookie cutter ones would be superb.

Just because I am the GM, doesn’t mean I need to be the only one to take initiative and push the RP. So, I expect the participants in this RP to move the RP, instead of just reacting to what I write. Have to get somewhere, don’t be afraid to get there; if I want you to change something, I’ll ask, but that probably won’t happen often.

FAQ

Tech Level: As this is a medieval world, everything will be as it was in that timeline, though ingenious inventions happen all the time. Therefore, there may be shimmers of the first sprouting of clockwork, nothing extremely large and certainly no firearms past crossbows.

Magic and how it works: In ‘An Imagined World’ magic is present everywhere, however, it is unable to manipulated by anyone who isn’t heavily trained in the magics of the universe. Because of this, people manipulate their own magic reserves(Their soul) to cast their magic. This has both consequences and rewards. On the good side, this opens up the world to a non-structured set of magic, by that, I mean, the type of magic is not limited to certain things, but there are still limits(Time/Space Manipulation is out; Reality; and extreme teleportation. Anything else is up to scrutiny, anything seen as overpowered, will be denied). On the bad side, you are casting your own soul when using magic, however, it DOES slowly replenish itself the longer you go without using magic. Healing, is allowed by those who specialize in it, and they are every rare. Most healers have no other skills past healing, as they are often used to in places where battle skills are unneeded. Also, with healing, healing magical wounds are often harder to do by magical means(Soul vs. Soul). It is possible, but it requires a longer period to do.

Magical Limits: I ask that people who choose magic, do so and forego, for the most part, major skills in more physical combat. Like, if you choose to manipulate(Including creating) fire, I would like it if you were not able to fight on par, always, with someone who went the physical route. There is a way to circumvent this, however, and that is using the magic purely on yourself and/or weapon. Say if you were manipulating lightning in a weapon sense; you’d only be able to use it in the form of arrows(If a bow and arrow were your weapon choice), or in conjunction with your fists or sword to give a shock(dependent on the strength of the spell). You get the gist. At the start, your magic may be relatively weak, growing as you progress in the story. Also, each soul has certain things it can do; a fire-related soul, for instance, won’t be able to do anything wildly differing from fire. Magic, as it stands, cannot be used to make a weapon composed completely of fire, doing so would consume a lot of a person’s soul, if not it in its entirety.

Character Type: This differs from race, as it goes more into profession. Not all of you have to be wanderers, nor do all of you have to be specific mages or warriors; add some variety, throw in some everyday folk.

Skills: Yes, there will be skill castes in this RP. Ranging from most things your mind can think of. Being an advanced RP, I would expect that you would come in with something sensible - A Major and a Minor.

Created Race(s): Not without very, very good reason. Most of the time, there won’t be a good reason.

Starting Level: At the beginning, I want everyone to start as novices/beginneers/noobs, in their chosen fields(See: Class/Skills), so as the story progresses the characters can develop, instead of starting off outright good at what they do. A baker/cook would cook for the group, during downtimes, and eventually get better at it, after cooking not so good meals.

Spirit Animals: These characters are physical, or metaphysical, representations of your spirit and what it represents. They act as spiritual guides, and can sometimes be used by god’s to convey thoughts to their spirit’s vessel. The closer a person is to their animal, the stronger his/her magic will become. At the beginning, most are only able to get their animal in the form of a hazy imprint; as time progress it’s ghostly presences comes about, and finally a physical specimen. Non-magical people have animals as well. Using a lot of magic causes the animal, if manifested, to slowly deplete based on how much magic you spent. Completely losing it, causes it to revert back into your body and be unable to summon(Cutting off your magic) the animal until sufficiently recovered.

Messenger Magic/Magic of the Messanger: This is a peculiar magic type, as it is very specific. It allows long range communication between messengers, and even between messenger and God(a very rare occurrence, almost always one way). They are identified by their once famous status of body ranging tattoos, head to toe. These are rare, as the Apotheoses member, Eclava, was able to construct a type of tower that was able to magically intercept messages being sent without proper approval. Messengers were also rounded up and killed, if not ‘impressed’ into the Apotheoses ranks.
