(yes I know I said I wasn't gonna be on tonight but I'm a dirty liar and a procrastinator) @Ink Blood Iver needs to be reworked a little. The appearance is okay, but you didn't describe your attire enough; you can provide a picture but you need to describe the picture too. What are the materials that his clothing is made out of? Personality-wise, he's okay, but with the "untrustworthy but also nice" thing you want to be careful because he can pretty easily become an evil mary sue. Might wanna reword that if you're going for "silver-tongued devil". History-wise, the wall has only been up for a little under ten years, so Iver going to the other kingdoms wouldn't have been a problem until about twenty-five years ago when the war between Nepharie and Ostracus began. How long ago did Iver leave Ostracus? Also, magic isn't listed in his powers. If you use magic in this rp, you must specify in the power section (a) that your character can use magic and (b) exactly what you can do. I don't want any "Surprise! it's Gandalf!" moments. Sorry if any of that seemed harsh, I'm just kinda stressed right now IRL. Take your time working on the sheet. The IC is probably gonna get pushed back and I'm not gonna kick you out of you needed time to edit a sheet. If you need any help with anything, feel free to contact me (though God willing I'll be doing schoolwork for most of tonight).
Understood. Also, I decided to not give him magic. I'm not going to use anything I don't put in my sheet.

Oh dear I seem to have dropped all the shits I don't give! XD It's just fantasy man, it doesn't have to be appropriate for the medieval time period. I don't think I remember the documentary about the living Minotaurs hurling battleaxes the size of children at elven mages using mystical magicks, must have skipped that documentary, because that totally fits the medieval period, doesn't it? XD Look at the fantasy gaemz out there, it's for fun, not for realism. So what if our characters are 6 feet tall, power to us, we're awesome, who cares? Don't try and throw realism into the mix when you have monsters, and MOUNTAIN SIZED BEETLES, cuz those sure as hell aren't REALISTIC to medieval beetles! XD Let us have some fun, let us enjoy ourselves, if we can't enjoy ourselves what's the point in a roleplay that's made for enjoyment?
Also, our characters aren't overly special? BARTLEBY BEGS TO DIFFER WITH HIS CLUMSY ELEGANCE AND AMAZING FAT CAT!

@The_written_John You're going to hate Maxx and I then, because it doesnt matter how fantasy the RP is. Magic is in the game, sure, but if you think you get to get away with whatever you like, then we're going to bitch slap you with magic. You can use magic to make a few things you do impossible, but not everyone in Lord Of the Rings is doing anything a human's not capable of. I'm also going to ask you to not be so disrespectful to me, because that's really not appreciated. I'm happy to fool around and have fun, but if you want to act this way we're going to have problems. I'm treating you like an adult, but when you say "Look at all the shits I dont give." it's a huge red flag. So I'm going to say in a polite fashion, dont. When I say overly special, I mean you're not a technicolor eye/hair who is the chosen one that is also a kitsune or some other stuff like that. We want relatively normal people appearance wise, if that makes any sense.

WrittenJohn, as a fellow mod who has both refrained from posting a lot and is also tired and not in the best mood, you need to leave this RP if you're going to have that kind of attitude. Realism is necessary in any work for it to have any semblance of dramatic tension. No, magic is not realistic. At all. However, in order for this RP to be fair to everyone and for it to have meaning to it, there have to be consequences. We establish from the beginning what the various races, magic types, etc, can do, so that way halfway through the RP we don't just say "Well, guess what, they use magic and the problem's solved. Boom." No shit elves and minotaurs aren't real. However unless Maxx decides otherwise the laws of physics, biochemistry, etc, are still on the books. Your character can't just fly around for no reason or run for a thousand miles without getting tired because, hey, there's magic, so anything goes, right? There are rules set up that are followed. Gravity exists, the sun rises and sets, there is magic and there are limits to magic. Beyond that, UrbanEvolution made the excellent point that a smidge of respect for the mods/GM and not throwing in unnecessary sarcasm/pictures when we're trying to deal with things seriously. And if you still have qualms with there being realism in this RP/our problems with your sheet, there's the unfortunate matter of this being Maxx's RP. He wants us to be the mods and has trusted our judgment-if he comes in here and sides with you I will promptly shut the fuck up. Until then, stop being a dick to Urban and stop using unnecessary amounts of sarcasm/all caps whenever someone's just explaining how the Red Sunverse works to you.

Okay okay! All of y'all knock it off; the boss is home. Firstly, Shade and Nick, you guys need to calm down. This isn't worth flaming over. Ok look, we're here to have fun. Roleplaying is supposed to be an enjoyable experience, but enjoyment without rules is anarchy. Every race has specific characteristics for a reason: because if every race could be whatever people wanted them to be, we'd have fifty-foot Saurians and gigantic fairies running around trampling people. I'm not going for realism here, John, I'm going for standardization. I myself have modified my characters because they didn't fit the criteria of my races. For example, I wanted to make a human baron of Haderlock who had super strength, like Hercules, but that is against the rules, so I modified him and, though he's not done yet, got the best of both world. Now he is a Halforc (though he doesn't know that, between you and me). I can guarantee that you will have fun if you participate in this roleplay, but you need to understand that this roleplay has rules and you need to follow them. Oh, and for the record; while I like having you here and I think Bartleby is one of our best characters, speak rudely like that to my mods again and you can leave and take your overgrown roley-poley cat with you. @Ink Blood That'd be great, but your issue is that there is no magic in your sheet. Golem-making and enchanting count as magic, and can be used in battle, meaning that they take a slot up. Surely this makes sense considering that a skilled golem-crafter can basically build himself a troop of soldiers.

Holy crap guys, I was literally just joking around, christ almighty... o.o I thought that was obvious with the constant bad spelling, overuse of emoticons and constant gif images... Jezus H christ, calm down. :l Why is it every "advanced" roleplay I join, it's like everyone I meet forgets not everything is literal. It feels like i'm talking to robots who don't know what a joke is o.o
I'm only joking around... it's only a joke... joooke! Okay? We good? No longer going to throw a big hissy fit because I was just having a bit of banter? I assumed we were just having a laugh and everyone was cool here, y'know since everyone was spamming weeaboo jokes and all dat...! I was also just saying, there should be no bother if someone is just a BIT taller than average, not talking MONSTROUS GOJIRA SIZED FAIRIES or anything like that! XD

It does. I didn't think it would take up a weapon slot though. My bad. Do you want me to move said skills down to the combat abilities instead of the normal skills section?

So I see. I apologize for lashing out at you, John, however it was very much so warranted. I have roleplayed with people before who would say something like that without joking. I honestly couldn't tell (and I have a singing cabbage as an avatar so don't tell me I don't know a joke when I see one). I wouldn't have gotten so angry if I didn't think you were being serious. Just be more careful in the future.

It's cool, i'm sorry I wasn't more obvious with my jokes, I didn't realize my jokes weren't obvious enough, that's a bad part on me. I've been banned from many roleplays all for stupid reasons. You read a book, you threw a weapon, you wanted everyone in the rp to be on equal ground! Or y'know, another reason i've been banned before, from an advanced roleplay. I've been banned for.. literally having emotions for when things actually go down, like apparently to the roleplayers, it's foreign for a character to cry over someone else's death like common sadness is apparently a mythological concept...! XD But yeah, everyone, calm, i've only been joking, i'm a jokey person...!

I can't stand it when people do that. Don't worry, there'll be tears a-plenty when I'm done here. @All: I'm whipping up a very short list of notable NPCs for the OP. For right now it'll just contain the names of the kings of the different nations.

Made the necessary changes to my sheet. I also (rather generously might I add) made him an inch shorter due to the ever-increasing demand of non-giants.
I've got a couple characters to read through still but do think it would be good for Tooth and Tobias to meet at some point. Although I was thinking of having Toby join the navy and that's his means of making a difference to the plot (or at least attempting to) which means he'll be heading towards the sea-faring life Tooth desires, at least to some degree, to put behind him.

Because he's an orc, he's fine. We allow people to stretch and I normally will give plus or minus three inches before I start suspecting anything (unless they're a Saurian and in that case all bets are off). Your sheet looks really good. He's accepted and you are free to post it in the deposit. If Maxx (for some ungodly reason because I hold you scrubs to a standard higher than he expects) sees anything wrong, I got you covered. Tooth is going to be traveling woth the Ruuk brothers, so they no doubt will meet at one point. I look forward to setting up relations between them because your character is really cool.
