There's going to be dwarves on the ship and in the colony with you guys. Quite a few actually, as they'll be managing the excavations for the new colony.

I just can't portray dwarves ever since Dwarf Fortress. Never forget. If i did play a dwarve, he'd be a bumbling idiot who somehow always does the right thing stupidly.

I laughed super hard at this. I've never been able to climb the mount Everest of a learning curve Dwarf Fortress has, but I've read some really funny accounts of playthroughs. Here's my favorite one, if you're interested http://lparchive.org/Dwarf-Fortress-Boatmurdered/Introduction/.

Dext, what type of government does Aega have? I'm planning on having my character come from a noble family, possibly one that has some amount of political influence, if that's alright.

Aega has a Monarchy. The blessing bestowed upon humans gives them a great ambition. For this reason, the position of king/queenship is not hereditary, but rather the candidates for king/queen are run through a series of physical, emotional, mental, and magical tests. These tests are performed and overseen by the Adagent (a group of overseers and judges with extreme physical, mental, or magical aptitude). The one who performs best in all the categories (ties mean nobody is chosen) is given the title and responsibilities of leadership. Once a leader is chosen, the Adagent act as advisors for the chosen.
I would prefer that the position of your character not be the relative (near or far) of the current monarch. Perhaps they could be a relative of one of the Adagent or one of the higher noble houses. As with regular human society, noble houses are born through industry or something that provides the family with enough money to warrant titles and land, which are handled by a notary appointed by vote between the Adagent and the current Monarch.

Edit: Something I forgot to mention was that once the monarch has been in power for 2 years, the search for a new monarch begins. Since it can take multiple testing sessions to identify an ideal candidate, the testing starts as soon as possible to ensure constant leadership. If an individual is found before the current monarch passes away or relieves him/herself of power, the chosen candidate acts under the monarch to recieve further training and instruction from both the monarch and the Adagent.

Skys and i are working on our CSs. Our timezone differences and my work scheduling means we have little time to work on things together, but we're still making good progress for the most part.

No one EVER depicts dwarf women!


Because, apart from one body-part (and voice), there is no difference between female and male dwarf.

Ooh, Aega having an elective monarchy makes a lot of sense!
And no worries on the monarch front. I was only aiming for something like a great noble house, so that works out. :D

Egg, I'm still waiting on your CS. Februani already put in his side of the partnership, so that's just waiting on you. I've gotten 3 total so far. I'd like to start in the next week if it can be managed.

Full Name: Vultog
Nicknames:None

Race: Orc-Elf

Gender: Male
Age: 18
Hair: Long flowing shoulder length black hair.
Skin: Light green.
Eyes: two different colors, the left eye being green and the right blood red.
Height: 6’4”
Weight: 160 lbs

Place of Birth: Vultog was born in the mountains, near a mining plant. In the village, race did not matter, only strength and camaraderie.

Appearance: While Vultog inherited his fighting spirit from his mother, he inherited his looks, at least in his face, from his father. His skin is light peach, with a green tint to the skin, in his mouth, he has two relatively small fangs. He is well built due to his mother’s training. His eyes are two different colors, his left eye being green and representing his father, while his right eye is red and represents his mother.

Occupation in the frontier forces: Diplomat, Guardian for Linara
Gear of choice: Vultog owns a sword named Fortune of the Gods. It is a large, serrated broadsword, almost the size of him, and was given for his bravery in war by his mother, the blade is constantly kept in a leather sheath that he carries, and is wrapped in cloth to prevent rust and other problems. Fortune of the Gods was a sword forged long ago, Only a simple short sword. As it was passed down through its ancestors, it was reforged and changed, going through many forms. When it reached Vultog's mother, it was given the form it has now. When it was passed down to Vultog, he did not change any aspect of it, deeming it perfect.
He wears a pair of leather pants, as well as a cloak to cover his face.

Positive Personality Traits: Can realize intentions and has a good set of morals, knowing who not to attack, and will help injured or people in trouble.
Negative Personality Traits: Attacks who he thinks may be evil.
Misc. Quirks: Enjoys the thrill of fighting trolls and other large creatures, if only for the danger it brings.
Likes: Fighting, killing bandits.
Dislikes: Spiders and Humans.
Hobbies: Enjoys sewing clothing in spare time, and taming animals.

Paired character: Linara(Strudel)
Connection with paired character: Vultog is a guardian for Linara, hired by her parents, after rescuing her from a bandit attack while she was traveling to the mining plant.
Fantastico.
History: Vultog was born to an orcish mother and an elvish father. When he could only just walk his mother began training him to fight. When he had just begun speaking, his father taught him diplomatic and eloquent language. While he was young, he faced very little prejudice as a half orc. While there wasn't much prejudice against him, he was picked on for being weaker and smaller. This is where he met his best friend, Rokk'thar. They grew up together, even as Vultog became bigger and stronger than Rokk'thar. They remained friends even as they joined the guards for their village, training together and working for the same times for guarding the village. Tragedy came when an earthquake struck, shaking the mines nearby, and waking several nightmarish beasts, including towering spiders. He lost his best friend in this battle against the beasts, watching him being drained of all life. After this battle he left his village to become a vigilante protecting roads form bandits and such. It is here he met Linara, saving her and her carriage from a bandit ambush. After this, he was hired by her parents to protect her.

Alright, here is my first edit to the CS. if anything else needs fixing, tell me.

ALRIGHT PEEPS.

I'm imposing a deadline. This RP is starting to lose traction. So when It starts up I'm afraid people will be disinterested. So, I require all CSs by next monday (not tomorrow, the week after that). Whoever has nothing in (not even a placeholder) by then, is getting dropped. I want to start by mid week next week, no exceptions.

I PMed Fennick to see if he'd be interested in partnering with me for this role play...if you're still open to characters.
(I saw there was a deadline, but I wasn't sure if that meant the rp was now closed to new character?)

Even if Fennick isn't interested anymore, I'd like to stick around and see if I can snag a partner.
