Heiseina: Memories Long Forgotten

Is there any racism in the village?

@Dog

In a fashion, perhaps:

A number of hamlets dot the valley, the largest of which reach two or so dozen people and the smallest only a family or two. Those from outside Heiseina are seen as suspicious by its populace, who have many a story about foreigners being sorcerers, killers and other ne'er-do-wells who would threaten their peace.

I appreciate all the interest, everybody! There’s...a fuckin ton of you, wow. So I’ve been thinking on how many players I’m shooting for these past couple’a days and while I’m still not putting down a hard cap, I think anywhere from five to seven is the sweet spot. This isn’t first come first serve, I’ll be weighing everybody’s sheets as well as how well ya mesh with the group and how reliable ya are to post.

It’ll feel bad to turn folks away, but a twenty-one person roleplay’s a little out of my wheelhouse.

Is a woodcutter a viable peasant profession?

@DruSM157

Absolutely, there's a logger's camp not too far into the Mumbling Wood

Heiseina: Memories Long Forgotten

Added a bit more information to the setting section. Some of its redundant, as I'm transferring it over the OOC, but there oughtta be something helpful buried in there.

I've updated the character sheet template to be less finicky.

Is there a certain age range for the characters?

@tokkiya

If you could shoot for teens to early twenties that'd be ideal, but I won't be capping it in either direction. Provided their capable of going through the story, we'll be good.

Hey! I really like the concept of your RP so far, and I’d love to voice my interest!

I do have a couple of questions though!

First off, is that I’ve never been in an Advanced Section RP before, I usually write like high-level casual, so I just wanted to know if you had length requirements as well or not? (I average 3+ paragraph posts and I’m usually pretty good about spelling and grammar. Sometimes it slips, but I’m only human).

Second question, are there any sentient non-humans in the world/village? Such as elves, orcs, or the likes? If I’m going to be honest it’s because my knee jerk reaction is that I’d like to play a Catgirl/Neko or something like Au Ra from Final Fantasy, but I totally get it if that’s not an option.

Apologies for questions if they seem dumb at all!

@JessieTargaryen

Generally I look less to a post's length and more to strength of characterization, high school-ish grammar expectations, rapport with other characters- that sorta deal. A well-crafted post with two paragraphs can provide more for myself and other players to work with than a novella that spends all its time chewing the scenery. Provided you're putting effort into it, you're unlikely to hear any complaints from me.

As for non-humans, there are a number of mythical and folklore creatures in and around the valley- most prominent are the Yokai, an umbrella term for a number of spirits and supernatural creatures from Japanese folklore. They'll feature in the game often enough, but I'd like for all the player characters to be human. Their journey starts with them as ordinary individuals entering into a strange, utterly alien world.

What are you expecting out of the Character Conceptualization section? And how many people were you thinking of accepting for the RP?

@ERode

Character Conceptualization is meant to cut down on a number of other sections: essentially its for your character's backstory, motivations, and what you're intending to do with the character as the Roleplay moves forward. Give me an idea of who they in a couple'a paragraphs and you'll be good.

I haven't set a limit on that just yet; I'm more looking for character concepts that I like and think would fit well in the setting, as well as people who'd post reliably and whose style meshes well with the group. If too many people end up applying, I won't let the cast get too cumbersome.

Violence isn't allowed, but is friendliness enforced, or does bullying and ostracization still pop up in the village?

@ERode

The latter, absolutely. There’s a good deal of internal strife buried underneath that picturesque image of paradise. Those from hamlets around the greater valley might be treated as outsiders by the villagers of Heiseina, for example. And issues like petty theft, interpersonal disputes and abuse still crop up from time to time- provided there is no physical, direct violence, bad things still happen regularly.

Heiseina: Memories Long Forgotten

Welcome one and all! If you've got any questions feel free to hit me up, I'm just workin' away at the OOC right now. Glad to have ya'lls interest.
