    evil as it may be, its fun and provides easy access explanations for things.


    Admit it, ever since you saw the Beholder, you wanted to fight it.

    And tame it.

    well, i'll be completely honest, this rp was actually spawned from an idea i had for a video game version of this. same exact premise, only the player character would chose which gender town guard he would play as (the adventurer wasn't originally part of this) and then through some light moral choices and cut-scenes set events in motion that would decide who survived the attack on his city with, those who would would be his party members for teh duration of the gameplay. The classes are based on all the potential party members you could have in the game, and these characters were expressed designed to NOT get along well together for the most part. I chose to keep the overlying traits of their personalities into these classes so as to keep the air of friction between teammates and decided to restrict gender choices to those character that it wouldn't make sense to have otherwise (like the misogynist thief needing to be a man, or the man-hating huntress needing to be a woman). or to people who, by the rules of that society, could not be that class if they were their opposite gender (like the sisters of the peace all being women, or imperial knights being men).

    also, i like to reinforce what was stated before. Dark is not evil and Light is not good. Rather, think of someone who is 'dark' as having a more 'negative' personality, stern, block headed, pessimistic, deceitful, ect. while soemoene who is light typically has more 'positive' personality traits. It's entirely possible to be Lawful Light and still be evil, same as you can be chaotic dark and still do good acts. I purposely avoided the 'good' and 'evil' terminology so as to not make people feel forced into playing the role of hero or villain
    the problem with awesome roleplays is they attract awesome players, and the problem with having awesome players is they usually fuck up in awesome ways, and require awesome explanations to correct their awesome mistakes.

    well, my interest has gone down a bit, it sounds like you want to roleplay a video game, which is restricting everything else.

    It's the background FOR a game, not an existing game (as far as I know). Nothing's scripted for the characters, besides basic archetypes and "class". I get the feeling there would be some leeway into making characters evolve over time, the petty thief earning respect from the adventurer for his know-how or the knight falling for priestess despite it being off-limits or some such.

    At least that's how I see it so far.

    *nods* exactly. I'm not attempting to roleplay an existing game, or even 'roleplay' the plot for a game that i have in my mind. I wanted to create a game based on the concept illustrated in this rp, and based the classes in this rp on the various party members i would have created for the main character in that game, but this is all of course just a starting point, how you character evolves is completely up to you, and what back story you give them to fit their personality, and what EXTRA personality traits you stack on top of what is already existing is all up to you, this is just your starting block. I have no intention of restricting your character's progression from what they once were (provided, of course, that the way in which they progress isn't completely retarded eg. 'slefish and amoral douchebag sees a dying kitty on the side of the road. this lone scene is enough to make him re-think his entire life and he has now decided to become a righteous defender of all things just overnight')

    I saw this and I thought "Hmm, looks quite ni-" then I saw the classes.

    Really? Stereotyping personalities? What's the point of this?

    ooh, count me interested. Knight sounds right up my alley. Would the spear training qualify him for a good old Halberd/Voulge/Bardiche? Those are one of my favorite weapons and the sight of a knight in plate armour hacking zombies up with one of those beauties makes my heart just sing!
