Pretty standard stuff here, just looking for something of a fun back and forth style group RP with plot kind of at the hands of the players.

The setting itself will be on the British Isles in a world where magic and monsters exist, and it will be set somewhen in the 13th-14th century, tech-wise.

Uhm... Any other building will be done as a team.

So... Who's interested?

Even though this is free, by the by, I do want a writing sample. I want this to be quick, not low quality, you know?

It will be nice if we can have a free RP that avoids all the one sentence shitposts.

Edit: And I assume we will be giving samples along with CS when the skele gets posted?

That's kind of the basic idea. This is in free because I want some speed, but the standards I want aren't quite up to casual for this, even though that's where I normally lurk.

Honestly, I'm not too worried about the sample, so long as you promise to keep to the standards on pain of being booted... I'll post a skelly now though.

Name: John Burgh

Age: 18

Gender: Male



Personality: John finds talking to others tiring, he would much rather do what he wishes without having to explain or seek council with others. What little he does say usually consist of impudent, wisecracking remarks. Currently he has no aim in life, when he was younger he trained with his brothers at the castle but now he has nothing to occupy his time. His current goal is to see England, due to the tales his English mother told him about the country.

Like his parents John lacks spirituality, just as his father taught him not to trust magic, the Burghs trust little that they have not seen with their own two eyes(other than the christian god assuming that exists in this universe). John is slightly detached from others, what time he didn't spend training he often spent either lost in thought or wandering the grounds.

History: John Burgh is the youngest son of the prolific earl of Ulster. Richard Burgh. Due to Ulster's strategic significance as both the closest part of Ireland to the rest of the British Isles and as a very defensible position John was taught from an early age the arts of war. John's childhood was largely unremarkable as he learned alongside his three elder brothers the teachings of their father. Richard was one of the few kings who had no magician or witch in his court, trusting only in the strength and of his troops and fortifications to defend his fife from those who would wish to seize control of it.

Richard came down with an illness in recent months and is believed to be at death's door. With an increasingly turbulent court surrounding his three brothers John decided to take his rightful share of their father's fortune and leave the fife. Wandering the British Isles, doing whatever he happens to fancy at any particular time.

Stuff:
-Longsword
-Shield with family crest(knight helm on top of two griffons and a tower)
-Two horses(pack horse and riding horse)
-Set of armor with family crest
-Hunting bow/arrows

Sample: "John, go shut up those hounds."

Alfric didn't even bother to turn to face his younger brother before John walked away from the group towards where the dogs were. Even when he was long out of earshot of his brothers John didn't bother to curse his brothers, Alfric was to be king, he would always be ordering everyone around, it was his right. Upon arriving at the hound's "den", as the four brothers often called it, John immediately knew what the problem was, the servant had gotten lazy and forgotten to bring the dogs their meal. Grumbling to himself John slowly began to make the trip to the kitchens.

"The son of an Earl feeding the hounds, what an unusual day."

Little did John know that this day would be one of the few normal days he had left, and that shortly England would call to him, and John would leave his childhood home, perhaps forever.

RUNES!!!! Runes is the magic base. Oh, wait a minute...

HELLO!!!! I am Crimson, and I am Blaze's co... something. I don't fucking know.

Anyways. Runes. Okay... how to explain... hang on. Let me find my original post I put... somewhere....

Well, fuckberries, I can't find it. THE HELL WITH IT!!! Basically, runes are the language of the angels written down for man at the beginning of creation. Due to them being of an ethereal nature, if one were to write a rune (known as scribing), one can manipulate whatever word they wrote down. For example. If one were to scribe the rune for "Fire" one can then summon fire, although you do have kinda specific. You want a fireball, you have to scribe both "Fire" and "Ball" together to make "Fireball". It works like Japanese Kanji. Each character is a base word. You can combine words to make other words to change the effect. For example, combine "Right", "Hand", "Fire" and "Ball" to summon a fireball into your right hand. Or you can do "Fire" "Ball" "Forward" to launch a fireball in an arc in the direction you're aiming. "Fire" "Ball" "Shoot" "Curve" "Left" shoots a fireball like a gun, but curves to the left. As you can imagine, holy fuck, things can get epic. However this was an arduous process. Until, people realized they could carve runes into objects permanently. Like "Lightning" onto a sword. Then they started tattooing onto their bodies. By this point in time, master scribers (or prodigies) can just scribe into the air itself. Oh, yeah. If a rune is damaged, it's effect can either stop or be altered, depending on if a new rune is made from the damage. So there is a risk with getting close to an enemy. Because of this, Rune warriors don't really rely on martial arts, kinda making it a bit more like a lost art, or hobby-type thing (like swordplay today)

I also had this idea about how 4 clans basically run things using specialized runes. They are the Byakko (speed and wind-based), Suzaku (aerial and fire-based), Seiryu (power and water-based), and Genbu (defense and earth-based) clans (yes, I based them of the Japanese cardinal guardians with a bit of Avatar. I don't care).

We probably need to streamline this, but that's basically how it goes.

Oh! And Blaze? Can I bring in the Crystonians? Every fantasy needs some kind of inhuman species.

We're sticking fairly generic. I think the runes is specialized enough, no? We'll leave it as a maybe, but not from the start. Nonhumans are monsterborns, who have the blood of monsters.

Name: Roland Pendragon
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Appearance: TBD
Personality: A very stiff and unyielding young man with a strong sense of justice and want to do the right thing, though a bit lacking in sense. He believes in trusting people until given a reason not to trust them.
History: Born to a family of knights, Roland was raised from a young age to be a soldier, and told he carried the blood of the legendary king in his veins. He and his peers took little stock in his name or ancient family history, but the boy was commended for his excellent skill with the blade. At age 14, he was conscripted into the Scribe-Killers, a group of elite knights, trained in the use and interruption of scribe magic in service of the king. In spite of his training and knowledge on runes, he is unable to use scribe magic beyond that which is infused to his armor and sword, though he is highly adept at interrupting and redifining the runes used by other scribes.
