Interested. I'll whip up a CS soon.
What do you think of this?
Dark Souls: Age of Kindlers
The Undead bells have rang but long ago. There has been a new Age of Fire, named the Age of Kindlers, because of the new rage - to
make a bonfire. One can kindle a bonfire by taking a greatsword, infusing it with holy magic, then to shove the sword into a pile of
flammable material and setting it ablaze. There are now colonies of Undead that have made life better by huddling themselves around
bonfires to keep warm and repel Hollows. The covenants have shifted into three major clans:
Blades of Fury clan-
This is the clan of non-magic users that prefer hard, steely weapons rather than faith-consuming spells. This clan specializes in
strength and dexterity to wield large blades.
Holy Guard -
This clan holds priests and priestesses who wield small swords and maces, while focusing more on Faith and miracles to be cast from
that faith.
Flames of Lordran's Past-
Those who have claimed to descend from either Lord Gwyn or the Witch of Izalith. These clan members are very intelligent, using
sorceries and pyromancies.
Then, there is us:
The Kindlers.
Cecelia (my character) has been searching all over the land for more to join her cause of uniting the clans and turning Lordran to her
former glory with a rag-tag group of Undead that have decided to leave his or her guild. Cecelia is a pyromancer with a knack for
using the Black Knight's Sword she got from a friend before Lordran turned into the Hollow paradise it is now.
Now, we need a blacksmith, so that will be the first goal. The characters joined will start as in one of the three other clans
(blades, guard, or flames) and will somehow be pushed, forced, or have wanted to leave his or her clan, this is how we meet.

I WILL BE GONE MOST SATURDAYS AND A GOOD HUNK OF SUNDAYS
Interesting.
I'm not Hardcore DS fan, but I do enjoy the game I'd be willing to give this a go.
Though I do have questions though. But will wait for an OOC to go up before asking them.
Well okay. Two main ones. I'll likely think of others later.
1: Is there a limit to the age of our characters?
2: Do we need to be a member of a clan? Can we be a clanless wandering undead?
I'm a little short on time at the moment but dark souls games are rare so I'm in :-)
BigPapa: to answer your questions -
1.) No age limit, but a minimum of 13.
2.) You don't have to be part of a clan, but I recommend it because each clan has a specialty that contributes to the making of a bonfire. If you can get around that in the background, I won't mind.
Rinn: That can be a problem, but you can have a character be a "wanderer" who helps out occasionally, but isn't a permanent member of the group. Or delegate your character to another person. If you choose the latter, pm him/her beforehand to give that person a chance to keep up (given, but should say anyways).
I like wanderer idea but how often are you expecting posts? If it one daily I should be fine as long as you don't mind nighttime posting (eastern time)
Hmmm okay thank you for answering those questions. If this gets off the ground I'll see what I can come up with.
