Anyone interested? I have a setting in mind. Note that not every character would have to be a lizardman. Or lizardwoman. It's easier just to call them lizardfolk. If you must think of them as being a bit like Argonians, so be it.

Setting: This RP takes place in a fantasy world, set in a distant jungle continent. Lizardfolk live in the dense swamps and rainforests, dwelling in villages made of straw huts. The technology level is low, but the lizardfolk compensate in part using stealth, magic, and sheer strength.

A average lizardfolk stands about six inches taller than a human. They have different skin colors, mostly shades of green, ranging from olive to emerald, and almost everything in between. Males stand taller than females, even more so than in relation to most humans.They dress lightly, with loincloths and sometimes cloaks or capes. Footwear is unknown, but their clawed feet are well-suited to the jungle terrain. They use their three-toed feet for climbing and combat, and their three fingers and thumb are clawed as well. While they are very good at swimming and climbing, they breathe only air. They can see better than humans can in the dark, and have a better sense of smell too, although their hearing is somewhat inferior to humans.

Despite their primitive appearance, the lizardfolk have hidden depths to them. Legends abound of lost cities, exotic temples, and mysterious cabals of mages dwelling in the deepest corners of the swamps. Lizardfolk culture is suspicious of outsiders, polytheistic, and very patriarchal. The strongest males collect harems of females and the strongest of all the males in a tribe is its chief. Struggles over the chiefdom are common, and few chiefs die a peaceful death. Lethal tournaments are regularly held to determine which males are the strongest, and to settle scores once and for all. In spite of this violence, lizardfolk rarely tolerate the abuse of family members or friends, even as they are ruthless towards their rivals.

I can add more details if there are any takers. Anyone interested?

This sounds interesting. What would be the general plots and activities?

Well, the general plots would be largely up for the player to decide. That said, a wide variety of activities would occur, such as hunting, fishing (with nets and spear), fighting in a tournament, fighting against invaders, finding mysterious groups of lizard-mages in the deep jungle, and maybe going on a quest to find one of the lost cities.

That last one could be interesting. Who built those cities? Were they made by the lizards? Why were they destroyed? Were they even destroyed? Were they all ruined, or are some still functioning, but no one knows where they are? If the lizardfolk built them, why can't they build them again? What sort of secrets are in the lost cities?

The tournament part is much simpler. It's just a series of fights between the males to determine who is stronger. That said, even a loser who puts up a very good fight is considered strong, especially if it was clear that the fight could have gone either way and the contest was decided by a lucky hit.

Most of the lizards lead simple lives with relatively few possessions, using tools made of wood and stone. Metal weapons exist, but are rare and are generally reserved for the best warriors, the chiefs, etc. Their lands have few metal reserves near the surface, rudimentary mining technology, and while they are surprisingly good at smithing compare to their mining skills, many of their metal tools and weapons are traded for from the outside world in exchange for things like salt (from salt marshes) or fish.

And yes, there can be romance, but only up to PG-13. Site rules and all.

I like it

I wanna do lost cities, would you like to set up an OOC?

Here you go. Interesting fact: a Lost City was in the very first RP I was ever in, many years ago, but that was in a desert, not a jungle.

Sweet

See you in the OOC page.

Interested.

Welcome Gareth. Just post a character in the OOC in the link I provided.
