Also, I will be updating the lists in the first page whenever I finish work on creatures, races, or anything else if I finish them up.

Feel free to write up your own creatures and submit them, as well as anything else.

As stated in the opening post, the RP's setting is fairly light.That said, I have no issues with plotlines involving murder, assassination, fighting undead, killing criminals or bandits, as long as players can opt in or out. The problems I had with that bio were the completely unnecessary elements of child prostitution and rape.

Not unnecessary. I was assuming that there would be a dark side to this city, a criminal part, and a part that involved those more sadistic and 'evil' as it were. My character was born in the very very low with no other options than to kill to survive. The 'unnecessary' elements, as you call them, are a part of the world that he came from, and define the character in a very deep way. Of course, this is a world created by you, and if in this world there are no sadistic, evil men who take advantage of the weak around them to sate their own depraved desires, then I apologize for casting such a dark light on your world, and I respectfully withdraw my interest.

Ok three things.
1. I would like to join and below I will post a sheet for the god I want my character to worship

2. Daemonbane. you may not have intended it this way. I'm not trying to start something I am mearly taking notice, And maybe it's just me but that last post of yours came off an incredibly dickish.

3. The god I wish to worship.

Religion Name: Church of Beltine
Chief Deity: Beltine, The healing matron, The grey Crone
Religion Description: Beltine is an odd goddess to say the least. Her worshippers are adored by all sides during any conflict. They rigidly remain neutral and it is even rumored that if you are foolish enough to attack one of their clerics and become injured in the scuffle. They must stop in order to help heal your wounds. This is partly true and partly false as many of the foolish thieves and rapists attempt to take advantage of this rumour and quickly find themselves on their backs, blacked out with a concussion and a splitting headache like continents colliding.

The Grey crone teaches her flock to heal and offer protection/ Asylum to those who need it. Regardless of that person's history, Position, or affiliation with any particular group both righteous and heanious. The Servants of Beltine are sworn to perform their duties without pause or hesitation. They also are not allowed to take sides. They can have personal ideals, Follow a particular army, Serve in a particular location but they are loyal to the church of Beltine and their duties above all. And more than one king has relied on a Cleric of the Crone to heal a tortured prisoner or became frustrated when someone he wanted slain begged for Asylum and protection from the church.

It is ahrd to take action against a Faith that you know could save hundreds if not thousands of your people during a war or famine or plague. And generally most kingdoms and nations agree that a servant of Beltine is not to be bothered by any side during a conflict. They are allowed to come and go as they please without harassment. To either accuse them of smuggling messages or to try and force them to provide tactical information would simply force them to withdraw from the field altogether to avoid any further bloodshd or conflict and potential kill hundreds more.

Surprisingly msot people who encounter a travelling servant of Beltine and expect warm smiles and bedside manner are rebuffed with short and quick responses. Straight foward questioning and and overall a seemingly unattached if not a little cold personality depending on the person. Which is developed in part because of the neutrality they must maintain, along with the fact that most Beltine worshippers will see some scores if not hundreds or thousands of wounded in their lifetime. For better or for worse they eventually learn to tune out any emotions involved with the process. To many people have died and to many undeserving have tried to take advantage and leech off the Church's open hospitality.

This may also be because it is Beltine who oversees the those lost souls who are either judged to be unworthy for the paradise of the gods or those who have simply no where to go. But who may be fit for potential redemption and rebirth into the world. Those Who have either sinned to much to be even considered for judgement or have chosen to revoke all religion and the gods and now pay the price for their heresy.

It is said one of the key features in Beltine's realm is her Personal Apothocary. Her place where she looks at all the deseases that infest this world and it's people and works on them herself. Testing magic and divine will. Sometimes these cures are then whispered into the minds of her followers. This in the past has brought a second wind into entire kingdoms being ravaged by unknown plague or has halted these plagues before they ever had a chance to grow and devastate the world. Of course the Followers of Beltine know to pursue these cures themselves. They cannot always rely on the Crone to solve their problems and indeed for every plague or sickness that it is suspected she had helped cure there were ten or more that she left to her orders to follow.

In this Apothecarion are many things. But the most intimidating and impressive is the massive cauldron that contains a myriad of deseases and plagues both cured and created by herself. Along with the countless creaming and wayward souls who are used as test subjects for her experiments. They suffer, Are cured, and are infected again. And because they are mearly souls they are incapable of dying or drowning in this viscous fluid. But the truly damned are those who must endure all these hardship and are not fortunate to float along the surface of the cauldron and instead are weighed down by the sins and crimes they committed in life. They live in the depths of the cauldron. The more one sinned the deeper one must stay. An eternal hell of the worst kind.

But Beltine is also the goddess of mercy as well as healing. For every Desease these souls bear, For every year they spend in the boiling mass that is the cauldrons hellish soup. They cna burn away these sins. Earn retribution, float a little higher and maybe just maybe. Beltine can consider them as served their penance. For every now and again she dips here ladle into the cauldron and pulled out those she has deemed worthy of reincarnation. Those who may be worthy of a second chance.

Creatures:
Creature Name: Dire Rat, "Sewer Wolf"
Creature Appearance: "Pest control ain't gonna like this..."
Creature Description: Rats are pretty bad, yeah? Vectors of disease, nasty bites, usually come in swarms. Now, imagine if there were rats the size of dogs wandering around in the underground. That's exactly what the Dire Rat is. Unlike their smaller rat relatives the Dire Rat is mostly solitary, and groups are usually no larger than four or five. These gigantic pests were not an issue until roughly one-hundred years ago, when they first appeared. As it turns out the Dire Rat is the result of mutation, but the source of this mutation is unknown. Not that it matters now, though; they're their own creature, and they can breed. They're sneaky buggers, and aggressive to boot. At least they're easy to hit.

I feel there are plenty of ways to portray a criminal element and bad people without delving into that, and I do not feel comfortable with the use of those elements in such a way.

Edit: Oh, I'll get everything looked at in a minute.

-

I didn't mean to be dickish, and I'm sorry it came off that way. Sure, I get a little itchy when people tell me what is and isn't necessary for my character, but that doesn't call for bad behavior and I apologize if I overreacted.

The way my thinking went, there are bad people all over the place, some worse than others. Being that Karstberg is one of the larger cities in it's world, it would attract more bad people and the worst kind. That said, being raised in an environment like that, Jarl would have developed a soft spot for the kids of similar background, especially the girls, and that would have come to play a large part of how this character develops over the course of the game. Of course, I understand that you wouldn't want this kind of stuff in your RP, and you are perfectly within your right to deny my character. Of course, seeing that my character's biggest psychological part in this RP isn't allowed, I have to rescind my interest and bid you all a good one.

Tchau.

@Ollumhammersong: Going to talk this over with my co-GM.

@Art of Fun: Accepted.

@Tachi: Looks good so far.

Is my submitted race not accepted or...?

I didn't get a chance to really talk it over with Rin today, and she's asleep now. We'll talk about it tomorrow and give you our feedback, okay?

O-okay? I didn't know it was such an issue.

It's not, don't worry. I just want to talk things over with my co-GM first.

Okay, ill hold off on introducing more stuff until I'm approved.

Wait sorry sleepy made a mistake. >.< This is why you don't post immediately after you wake up.

Okay, um, going to get up our feelings on at least one of those things.

@PrimezTime: If you want them to think they have a connection to Nem, it's fine, but it still reads like there's actually a connection there when there's not(well, beyond them all looking human-ish aside from differences like pointy ears for elves and being tiny for Nem and stuff). ^^; Also, you don't have to specifically not individual types(in fact it would be better if you didn't), but I'd like if you made it more clear that there's multiple types of elves so that other people can make their own types if they want to.

Everyone else is going to get their judgement today if they haven't already.

Any reference to the the Snow Elves being related biologically have been removed. There is a mention about them for comparison sake and a mention of them in their religion. Room to add more elves is possible as Elf is a pretty broad term and would cover any and all Elf types.

Hmm, okay, I suppose that's fine for the Nem as long as it's clear they aren't biologically related. As for elves, I'm more worried about people reading it and thinking it's been decided that there is only one type since it's not directly mentioned in the opening that there's room for multiple kinds, though I suppose I could clarify.

Anything else?

Hmm, while I still would like some reference to the various types of elves even if it's brief just so people don't get confused, that's not as big a problem if I make a note in the OP. Unless Rin has anything she would like to point out, accepted.

Okay done.
