I've been thinking of re-doing a very old Rp I had back in OldGuild, if anyone is interested. The story takes place in a land called Astoria, where a maiden is chosen to sing a long evil back to sleep with her voice, while a group is escorting her safely. I got a lot of back story with everything as well, if anyone wants to know. ------------------------------------------------------------ OOC has been made. http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/76743-astoria-chronicles-artorias/ooc

I guess my first question will be, Races? I'll give my interest for now. I hope you can keep it. :)

Seems cool. I remember you, by the way.

I'm gonna get on this

Sounds promising. Let's do it!

this could be interesting

I may be interested. I would be hanging on the race question too.

There are five main races that I have. They're pretty basic, but yeah. We have the Humans(dominant species of the mainland), the Vel(Elves, basically), Dwarves, Arenians(Named after their continent, Arena, they look human, but have distinct differences), and Dragons(Don't expect to play as em'.) Now this is the interesting part. I'm allowing races to be created! You'll have to describe your race for me when you make your CS though. Each race has a special and unique ability. Like how the Vel can use natural magic, that would be their specialty. Some other things are that the Vel are typically the only real magic users. Most magic performed by other races is artificial magic or alchemy. If someone wanted to perform magic, they would require a much closer connection to The Mother, the goddess of the realm. Everything will be explained when I make the OOC, but feel free to ask more questions! I think this'll be enough to make the OOC now.

Double posted. Whoops.

I'm interested, looks like we're going to have a pretty big party. EDIT: When you said that we're allowed to make our own races, may we make a certain race of a species? For example, Humanity on Earth has Asians, Hispanics, Europeans, etc. Could we do that here?

-Maybe!-

The story doesn't exactly take place on Earth, unfortunately. However, things like Whites, Black, Hispanics, Asians, Etc. are things in the Human race. In fact, here is some interesting things:

• Racism is a major problem in this roleplay. Although not based off of skin color, the Kingdom of Men are (mostly) intolerant of other races. They deem them as freaks and lower class citizens. However, in most other countries, race isn't exactly a problem. In the OOC, it will explain why Man has become the way that they are. However, there are a few Great Men left, for they have the blood of the First Men to appear on Astoria.
• The Vel in particular are targeted by Man. During the Great Uprising, the corrupted Men faced off against the Vel, who'm could not be corrupted by Artorias, the main villain of our story. Their bond with The Mother was too great. For Man, however, they were swept with horrible things like illness, greed, shortened life-span, death, etc. It is this reason that the descendants of Man are the way they are. They are no longer evil, so to say, but the consequences long ago have taken their toll. The Great Men are a rare bloodline now. They live up to their ancestry and are considered the greatest of their race. Unfortunately, Lesser Men, the ones effected by their ancestors corruption, are the dominant ones of their species, in social and politic aspects.

Can I be, like, a racist human knight, or will that be a bit too belligerent?

Of course. OOC is done by the way, still need to make the CS though. Enjoy the read. Things will be expanded accordingly. http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/76743-astoria-chronicles-artorias/ooc

Damn double posting.
