Roolz:
Guild Rules Apply

And, in addition to, and to re-emphasize upon the previously mentioned rules:

0: I am always right IC. If I say that a rock falls and everyone dies, that's what happens. I will encourage friendly debate, this is your story as much as it is mine. But I'm in charge. (You're in co-charge)

1: Do not control other player's characters in your post. This is known as god-modding. Leave your interactions with other characters open ended. I would appreciate it if you would coordinate complex character actions through PM.

2: Be courteous to everyone. This ties into the second part of rule 0. Even if your character is in a blood-feud with another character, be respectful to the people behind the character. We're all here for fun, and it's not fun if you're rude to others.

3: Don't try and be overpowered with your magic. I will nerf your response and then make you do something silly instead. If you're being overpowered with magic because the story calls for it, by all means, go right ahead.

4: Post length doesn't really matter, post content does. I don't care if you have five paragraphs you want to say or just five lines, say them. So long as it's relevant, communicates what your character feels and what they're doing, it's perfect.

5: Genuine characters please. Make them interesting. They must be original as well. Keep your Naruto fanfic character where it belongs. in the trashcan

6: If you violate these rules/guidelines, I will notify you, and try and help you correct the issue. If you continue to violate the rules, I will ban you from my game, and all future games. (Also, I won't send you a card on your birthday.)

7: This list of rules will change as time goes on and I grow as a GM. I feel that this should be enough for now, but if something comes up, I will revise the rules accordingly. I won't change the rules to win arguments, only when they're needed.

The World. A continent sheltered on all sides with an icy tundra to the North, a glittering ocean rolling away into the East, an arid desert to the South, and tall mountains to the West. For centuries, the inhabitants of the World thought little of what may lie beyond, they were content to spend their lives with the small tribes, and later kingdoms, that they were born into, trading and occasionally warring with their neighbors. It seemed likely that the World would continue in it's way for more centuries to come, if not for the actions of a young king, just inheriting his father's kingdom in the West. The young king had spent several years previous traveling the World, and carried inside of him new ideas that would have remained isolated, yet came together in him, the catalyst for the most momentous change in the World. Building an army that would rely upon the repeating crossbow, instead of sword and shield, the king dominated the battlefield, spreading the boundaries of his fledgling Empire across the West and South. And when he started to use the then unknown firecrystals, ignitable amber made from a volatile sap by a tree in the South as weapons, he soon took the entire World under the control of the Empire. And so it has been for the last 60 years. Under the guiding hand of the Emperor, the World has reached a golden age, with trade and knowledge flowing freely between the regions of the World. Though now an old man, the Emperor is still keen minded, and worries for the future of his creation. Though it isn't apparent to most, the Empire is viable to fall apart from vying regional interests, and the Emperor fears that it will collapse after his death. So the Emperor, remembering the unity held during the fledgling years of expansion across the World, believes that the best way to keep the Empire together is to expand. But where can you go once you control the known World? Go beyond the World, of course.

You will be taking the part of a member of the first Western Expedition, going past the Western Mountains and into uncharted territory. The journey will be hard, with numerous challenges, from deadly and predatory wildlife, harsh climates, and completely alien civilizations and even species. Your task will be to explore the World Beyond the World, find places for the Empire to expand, and then survive the return trip.

I'd be interested also. If possible, I'd like to make a scientist with a focus on all biology (both botany and taxonomy). If you'd prefer I stick to one category, I'd like to reserve a taxonomist.

@LeonVon

That would be fine, yeah. You would be a more general 'naturalist' sub-role. (I was going to include that, yet thought it best to diversify.

Can I call dips on a Survival Outdoorsman?

@MonkeyBusiness

There are 15+ Survival Outdoorsman, but if you want to reserve one, absolutely.

So, I've gotten three interests posted here, and one other confirmed one who hasn't posted here, but confirmed through PM that they're still interested.
Going to you guys, should I put up the OOC?
