I think it can be really fun not knowing about other characters, as long as everyone properly introduces their characters in their first posts ^^. Seeing other char sheets has its benefits, mainly avoiding making two of the same type of character, but it's worth it in my opinion as it's more fun to find out what a character is capable of throughout the RP. Knowing what other people are playing ´before my character meets them kind of takes away from the experience, in my opinion ^^.


Yeah, I'm interested in this aspect, saying things like 'does you character best fit 'adventurer', 'caster', 'ruler' or 'artificer'' would probably remove the worry of getting only one or two non-combat characters, but if that would have prevented it then it would mean some people would have to see '7 chose adventurer, damn guess I can't make my idea'. So I do like this idea, especially if the character sheet don't get posted at all (though I could just not look : p).

I would honestly prefer the char sheets not being posted. Knowing how curious I am, I'll look...xD

How common are nonhuman races, and are they restricted to certain roles in society? For example, are there non humans in nobility?


I will be writing a detailed post on the nobility. (but first I promised magic so I'll go work on that). Otherwise There are six noble houses. Since it not set in stone yet if you wish to have your own house, please pm the details and I will add it into the list.

What can I say, doing an RP with multiple people is far easier when you have contact with other people's characters. Otherwise its a bunch of people writing different stories


For some, yes. This will not always be the case as this is a large area, and by no means are anybody restricted to "staying grouped". If you're looking for a "Rag-tag" band of adventures style rp, then this is probably not the place for you. This is overall about the stories we write, there will be interactions, but it's about the world and how these few people help is evolve and change, how they get through it, the friendships they make, etc.

If you can't handle solo writing then this is not the place for you I'm afraid.

If the general consensus is to keep the character sheets hidden from the public eye, then we can do that.

How large is the island? Roughly how long would it take to travel from Rivendale to Olnesse for example?

Well, if it wasn't 5am and I did not have work in an hour, I would be all over this X__X

Consider this a placeholder for me to bring a character together when I get off work Tomorrow/Tonight?

I will not base my character off of anyone's else regardless, so if it helps/ then cool. I would like to know basic info like appearance and function so that we can follow each others' stories better. Would not care to have 1/2 the intro posts be rehashing descriptive/story info every time new characters introduce. But then again, I have no idea how you fine folk are going to write :)

Now it will get finicky down the line (if/when) characters meet each other. How much do we want to know about each other/ what don't we want others to know.

I think your middle ground option would be for everyone to indicate what they would like listed on their CS listing. Or just flat out leave out the fine details/back-stories/terrible secret pasts, and that can get sorted out in the RP. Either way I will not meta-game anything I see,

This is exactly what I meant by piggy-back off of other characters. Roleplays that start with everyone apart never go very far in my experience

Well, I can say this much: My character is a healer living in Olnesse where I'll start. (Healer by means of herbs, poultices, bandages and such. No magic involved). That might help someone get started.

I will be starting outside Sylywnn. Everything that anyone might need to know will be discussed in my intro post, and his backstory will be gradually revealed IC.

If anyone would like to have past experiences with my character, feel free to pm me. He is a monster hunter, wandering from town to town.

As far as I understoo, characters will be revealed once the RP starts, but will remain hidden until everyone has made one and been approved.

Oh, I was under the impression that they would never be shown. I threw a few minor details in an edit to my post above that should be good for now.

This seems like a generally compelling RP. I only have one simple question. Are anthropomorphic characters accepted? Or is it strictly humans? If it is the former, I will be promptly PMing you with a character sheet, or at least after my shift ends

There was mention of a character which was half cat, so I guess it's possible to get something semi-anthropomorphic.

Hello, everyone. I will be joining this RP. My character is going to be a shipwrecked former pirate captain. Anyone want to be his rescuer?
