It would definitely be interesting. I'm sure we can tweak it and make it work if necessary. You've definitely sparked my interest. I'd like to see the CS, so yeah, we'll definitely find a way to make it work :)
If you want to give me an idea of what you wanna do before working up the full CS that's cool, or if you just wanna dive in we can go from there. Its up to you!! I'm definitely into the idea of something new and interesting. You can always throw in your own NPCs as needed too.

Eastern Clans (The story continues)

I'm thinking of leaving that up to the players. There's always the possibility of many creatures, especially on the uninhabited islands. Like last time we played a few people had dragons, one a winged tiger, one a wyvern, and I had a winged wolf. They all varied in inelegance I guess, more so they had different levels of the ability to understand when someone was communicating with them. None of them ever communicated back, but it could be possible to fit into the world. Especially by some sort of mental connection. I like when people add in their own creative & original ideas, as long as they're somewhat reasonable in the world. I like the amount of "extended creation" that this world has though, that's why I don't like setting up too many specifics. I'm just overly detailed, not specific.

That much is obvious by my long rambling OOC posts. Anyway! I'm glad you like it!

Thanks for the character sheet! You worked you character into the story well also. I only have one note to make, and its just because of previous bad experiences I've had. Be careful of specifying your character as "the best" only because, for one, if we end up with several characters claiming to be "the best knight of Kantle" then it doesn't really make as much sense, and also, I've seen this cause frustrations when encountering other characters in the situation of battling someone else in the RP, having a character who's skills are unmatched, isn't very much fun for anyone.

That being said, I like the character and I'm not unhappy with his position as a formerly high ranking knight at all. If you chose to say that he was "among the best" or "viewed himself as the greatest" that would be cool. If not, I only ask that you don't use his character to bully the others and to be reasonable if you end up in combat with any of the other characters. Of course that would go the same for the other person too. Anyway, I think he's a well rounded addition ^.^

Haha sounds awesome! I shall officially deputize you once we get this thing rolling. If you gotten a chance to read the info yet, do you have any comments or critiques? I'm very open to suggestions lol

That goes for you too, um, guy...oh what's it...strange, dude who randomly disappears for extended amounts of time...oh yeah! Wanna hear your opinion too Izaka ;p

*quietly knocks on Twinkle's door with big apologetic anime eyes, holding a whole bunch of chocolate smiley face cookies*

I really didn't mean to make you mad 8(

Well I'll do the solo GM thing, but I do want you guys to question my authority whenever necessary. The biggest thing I will need help with is approving the new people so we don't end up with any crap writers. Maybe you guys could help me with that? I've GM-ed before, but I have a bad habit of wanting to take in everybody that comes along lol

Eastern Clans (The story continues)

That is an excellent question! lol
I had thought about this some, but not as much as I needed to. In theory the armies could have some sort of trained beasts, dragons or the like. But that wouldn't be fully practical.

The other option would be to leave the road in tact, but perhaps degraded. See when we played this world before, it was actually in the time period long after the wars, the road was broken and the people of each kingdom were completely forbidden by law from leaving their home island. But we decided it would be fun if we stepped back to the beginning of the first war, and the very beginning of the law not to travel. Just for more, drama in the story I guess. I always liked the fact that the road was broken, but it would make more sense for that to happen during the war, and some sabotage or something.

Third option, would be a really good excuse to bring your airship idea into the mix. The road could be broken...or on of the kingdoms could sabotage the road, to give them advantage. Having read the plotline now, do you think the airships would fit in, without making things too advanced? I do like the idea of adding a hint of steampunk feel, without going overboard with it.

Thanks for bringing up that question though. This is why I need help getting this together. I need smart people to help me work out the details :P

Another point of discussion, is whether we want to include elf & dwarf races. I talked with negative a little about this, and we don't think they would really fit in this world, but if for the sake of diversity everyone wants to add the races, it is definitely *possible* to fit them in this world.

The World of Roulit

Thanks for the character sheet, that was very prompt! The only thing I would say that you should include (unless of course you had a specific reason for not including) the nationality of your character. But I do understand if that is something you would rather wait to include. Bear in mind, whenever you come up with the appearance, where you want your character to be from though.

I will include this description when I make edits to the introduction, but people of Rose would tend to be fair skin and generally light hair (blonde/brunette); people from Eve would usually be tan or dark skin, with darker hair; people from Kantle would have fair skin and usually dark hair. Though, considering any mixed marriages between the races, those are by no means set rules, just general guidelines.

Also, sorry I didn't get a basic character sheet outline up, but I'd rather each person kinda do their own thing. I know characters tend to change a lot in gameplay anyway.

Stupid double post >_<

The World of Roulit

I'm still currently working out the details with some friends, so it may have a few mild changes before we get it up and running, but we have a very committed crew and we are looking to bring more people in. I suppose technically it will be advanced, though more like a casual version of advanced if that makes sense lol We just need strong writers who are committed to sticking with the story (sometimes we have lapses of posting, but things always come around). So if you guys are definitely interested you can work up some character sheets and we'll see about getting them approved :)

Eastern Clans (The story continues)

Ok guys!! I've finally got the Roulit RP together. I think I've decided to GM it, if everybody is into it and wants to play in the world. I'm not trying to pull this out from under you Twinkle, and if you still want to come up with a different world for us to try out and for you to GM its cool. I just figured since I've had history with this world (and a lotta ocd with the set up) I would be the one to get it into motion. Anyway, I still think it will be cool to bring in some new people. But I'd like to do the sort of group GM idea I had talked about. Basically meaning we'll talk things over before I execute any ideas, and everyone will be able to have an influential opinion. Pretty much, keep the good thing we've currently got going.

I'd like to note that this is not necessarily the final version of the world that we will play in, I can still ad in changes and I really want to hear everyone's serious critique and suggestions. For instance, Negative offered up the idea to give the gems certain magical properties, to make them more desirable to the other kingdoms. Also the God/Goddess and Demi God list is credit to Negative.

Iarumas, I like the idea of airships possibly, if they're "old style." Its a little bit odd to add into this RP because when we played it before it was different, but I don't want it to be the exact world we played before, I want it to be better! Maybe if we don't throw them in as a regular thing, you might like to play the captain of the first airship ever created (woah) of course most likely it would be for the purpose of the war, at least at first, and your character would have to convince the Royal Ruler of whichever kingdom to use the airship. Possibly something like that? We can all talk and figure it out.

So, like I said, I'd love to hear everyone's opinions now, let customize this bi-yatch!! Now, (at the bottom of my post so you have to read all my rambling) here's the link:
