A simplistic fairy tale (or is it?) regarding a knight and his search for the woman who can save his country.
IC Thread
Gyrii - Standard fantasy land, with requisite monsters, dragons, fairies, elves, etc - grossly overpopulated by humans. Gyriiis surrounded on all sides by other lands, both hostile and not as hostile, but all peaceful due to Gyrii's good luck in always winning wars. There is both an eastern mountain range (called the "Eastern Range" - they're not big on imagination in Gyrii) and by a northern river flowing west (named "The Northern Riv- no, it has a real name. "Murrag's' Road" - thus called for requisite fantasy myth about the King of the Fae, Murrag taking it to escape the humanity encroaching upon his hidden lands. He, rather than floating down it, transformed into a great salmon and swam up it to the far east where he now lives and bides his time in the Eastern Range, just beyond Dragon Peaks - told you they had little imagination)
Probable Cast of characters: character sheet not required, minimum requirements for each character in place, otherwise, make the character your own.
- Knight at end of prologue (taken by M@x da man) - (age: experienced - say early thirties), one of the king's best, man who is the paragon of honor, has a moral code, and believes his world revolves around doing what he must do for his kingdom. He is unaware of his history or if he has any. But that doesn't matter to a good ol' knight fellow really.
- Magician (taken by ko_fyre) - (age: old) cantankerous, rusty in that magic isn't so very quick to come to his bidding, if it comes at all.
- "Dove": future bride or so they say(taken by Touch of Temperament) - (age: anything over 20) please PM if you're interested^ Extenuating circumstances.
- King of Gyrii: (taken by Darkhawk) mid to late twenties. Second born to the throne. His elder brother drowned while the king was still too young to think much of having an older brother.
- The lovely Lady Love of the King (unbeknownst to him "but knownst to us")(taken by Nixie): (age - any age, so long as it's legal) She is whomever might be near him yet not noticed, or noticed but not acceptable for a king, or simply not aware of his affections - some manner of being unable to connect, up to you.
- Those belonging to various groups as they become available throughout story and the travels of the knight and/or political machinations of the king [including but not limited to revolutionaries of various species, lords and ladies of the court, bit-part heroes, evil bandits, scary swamp monsters, and other such fun creatures to see and be along the way.] Feel free to take on more than one character if you so desire.
Story will be following both the king on one hand, and more initially, that of the king's knight. Both stories have equal weight at different times. Please be aware that the purpose of this is two fold -
1. To take you through a story.
2. To develop your character and the world in which your character finds him/herself.
Magic use is limited to magic users - most people don't use it. It's fantasy. Elrond got to use his particular magic, Gandalf got to use his. The rest of the poor slobs had to muck through without but always bothered by it and the creatures of it.
This is fairly straight forward in that there will be a DM and the concept can't be missed. There's bound to be some romantic machinations and all, which of course will make everyone's life more miserable. Also, there are a great many NPCs and I can use a multitude of them to direct action if it is needed. This is more of an amusement ride with a start, middle, and finish.
Go find dee girl! And try and keep your country from falling apart when it goes to hell in a handbasket.
Important: Until the Dove has been "found", should you wish to have a character interact with the Dove, please PM me for extenuating circumstances.
