Royal Ascendant, IntCheck

[Artsydaze]

You are a single peasant that dreams of a better life for both him or herself and their future family. Thus start your journey as you aim to transform you mere one acre of land into a kingdom... no, an empire! The path will be long and treacherous however as you will have to steadily augment your riches and land as well as surrounding yourself with trustworthy ally if you want your dynasty to one day shine through the unwashed mass. First is finding a spouse and amass some funds for a bigger house, able to host a family like you would need for your grand adventure. Then you may either try your hand at mercantile, use your brain and charm to ascent as an adviser to some minor noble or take the path of chivalry. No matter what you do there will be both rewards and obstacles in your path. The point is to overcome such difficulty and seize the rewards!

This will be an Ascension rp with some financial and land management thrown in. You will have to overcome and take advaantage of the events I will throw your way each year of game. Between events you will be free to explore and get to know other characters. Sounds good so far? I surely hope so!

So like, characters will rank up in different stats to climb towards greatness? What decides when that happens?

[Artsydaze]

Each rank will have a precise threshold, like the first level, Squire, would have for the player to get to 5 in all three attributes. The attributes can be augmented while either training or studying for them or during day to day events through good rp-ing. Was that what you were wondering?

[Dualwing]

That sounds more like a videogame concept than a roleplay concept to me... Because, the idea basically makes each character strive towards having all of the same attributes, and thus, they would all kinda be the same person at the same point in the game.

EDIT: Ah.. And yes, you answered my question properly. Thank you.

[Artsydaze]

Mhm, when you think about it like that... How about this, then, money would buy land and therefore augment the standing. The player would have to use their charm to gather followers and use their mind and body to protect their possession. Would it be better?

[Dualwing]

I agree. A straightforward race to lands and riches sounds like a cool idea. You don't have to let go of the stats entirely, just don't force the players to get all of them. xD
If you keep refining the idea in that direction, I might join in. In the meantime, I'll be watching.

[Artsydaze]

I'm thinking of making Valiant Heart, Silver Tongue and Keen Mind more like ideals, or even an archetype that each player take one of them and try to embodify it to the best of their ability.

Let's see... Each will start with a basic one acre of land while being single and in need of a spouse. The spouse will be their first follower, and their children will be backups.

I'll think it more for now, but that's what I want to do.
