Edit: We're looking for one more member to join. Looking specifically for someone that is up to posting consistently (or at least willing to keep the group updated on when you can and can't post, I know people have lives). If interested here is the OOC which has world history and rules, as well as the rest of the group's character sheets. Please send me a rough of your character before submitting to the OOC!!! Thank you!!

Hello Travelers,

Are you perhaps looking for somewhere new? Are you sick of your current situation? Do you have a desire to explore, or to travel to far off lands? Or, gods forbid it, trying to escape something? The law, your owners, horrible people, those terrible mothers in law?

Then look no further, I have a job for you! I am a merchant looking to get myself to the next continent with important supplies that must reach the Novan City. I understand the journey will be long and full of danger, but I guarantee that you will be paid handsomely once we reach the city safely and with the supplies intact.

If you are interested and capable, please meet me at the Flower Gin Inn in the May Weed Village when the sun is highest in the sky. More information shall be provided upon meeting.

Until then,

Rudolf VanKirtschein

Hello! This rp is set in a high fantasy world with multiple races, cultures and where magic lives but is highly distrusted. The plot centers on a caravan of five oxen, their carts, and a rather old and eccentric merchant. Your mission is to protect the caravan at all costs, until reaching Novan city which is in an entirely different continent from your own. The journey will be long and will involve environmental challenges, monsters, thieves and more!

I’m looking for a couple of people interested in playing 1-3 characters of any background you wish. The players are free to world build, create a race, and involve your own villains.





Feel free to ask questions in this thread, and if interested, please PM me a writing sample c: It doesn’t have to be long, I would just like a feel as to how you write.

If I gain enough interest to start, I’ll set up an OOC where character prompt sheets will be given and more information will be setup! This thread will also be updated as I figure everything out.

Count me in.

Id love to play a character that uses magic (yes, I read what you had to say about it). I typically like to play a time-mage which people often assume will be OP. Thus, Im used to having limiters that, say, make my character obscenely exhausted when trying to cast, yknow, anything.

A time mage does make me a little iffy, because as you say, they can be considered really OP, and I don't know if it's really what I'm looking for. But I have seen it done before, where the time magic actually used up years of the user's life. I'm not saying the kickback has to be that drastic, but I'm wiling to discuss it. I'd be interested in seeing your character's story, and how that magic developed/came about.

Usually I have my time mage function similarly to a healer at first who can reverse time to heal wounds. In fact, the character often thinks of his/herself as a healer and discovers her other abilities later (think of Otihime's healing from Bleach). I usually make it so that I can only speed/slow/reverse time in a small sphere close to my body. The further extended the sphere is from my body, the more energy it takes. The larger the sphere, the more energy. The faster/slower the time difference is, more energy. Controlling multiple spheres is near impossible as it takes exponentially increased amounts of energy to perform.

Think of it as a power that starts off extremely weak but, given enough time and training, can be immensely strong. However, Ive never gotten far enough in an RP for the power to develop it past initial stages. :/

Also, taking time off of one's own life might not be drastic enough because, effectively, there isnt a kick back at all.

Even if I cant be a time mage, Im still interested. :)

Oh!! I actually really like that. It can be used for a lot of things down the road! And what I meant by that example was they aged quickly lol. But I'm so glad you're interested! Would you mind PMing me a small writing sample? It can be something short/something you've written before. I'm just having everyone do it to get a feel of writing styles! If you don't mind c:

This sounds pretty cool! I'm interested! :D

Certainly! I might have to think on what to write but I will do that as soon as I get home!

Expect a writing example sometime tomorrow as I dont have anything off hand and Ive been dying to write a specific scene I have in my head. :)

No problem! Thanks! c:

Interested. I'm going to PM you my writing sample sometime soon.

I'm interested, but I do have a few questions:
1. What's the maximum amount of people you're willing to accept? Three other people have already expressed interest/probably already PMed you the required writing sample, and so I would like to know if there's still room or if I'd have to "compete" to get in.
2. Are there actually limits to how or how much a person could use magic? As in, are there rules to magic, such as you can't combine spells, you can't learn multiple elements/types, etc.?

I'm interested as well, but have the same questions as Sen.

To be honest, I had no idea that I'd get this much interest lol. I saw other interest checks barely reeling anyone in, so I'm really surprised! Right now, I'm actually still waiting on writing samples from almost everyone. So I want to say that I'm still accepting. I'm going to wait for when I have all the samples, before I let people go. But this is a journey rp, so it can have a lot of players. Really it's just the aspect on waiting for so many people to post that makes me falter.

So if you want, feel free to send in a sample. I'm not gonna guarantee anything just yet. I'm sorry I'm being so wishy washy, I just need to figure out exactly how many people I do want. I'm looking for about a party of 7-10 characters anyway.

As for the magic, there isn't really a limit on what you can learn. But as I stated in character rules, there has to be a major kickback from magic, so it would be incredibly hard to combine spells or learn more than one element. Also keep in mind that this world is highly distrustful towards it. Many people have died because they can use it, etc. So although this world has magic, it is floundering a bit and it is rare. It's not something you use often in public, or show off, etc.

Which is another problem, I might have to limit characters if everyone wants to have a magic user. I'm not really interested in a party of all magic wielders, in a world where it is supposed to be a bit rare :/

I hope the above answered your questions. Feel free to send in a sample if you want to, but I can't guarantee full acceptance right now. c:

I would be quite interested.

Looking forward to this. Plan to make 2 characters.

Bump! We are looking for one more member, please pm me!

I'll join, if it's not too late.
