Have You Heard? Have You Heard? The Seer is here! The Seer is here! The Seer brings Miracles! The Seer brings Death! The Seer is a Mystery! The Seer is Unknown! Is the Seer an Angel? Is the Seer a Demon? Wherever the Seer goes change soon follows. Will you seek the Seer or avoid such folly? Will the Seer bless you? Will the Seer Curse you? Diviner, Prophet, Magician, Priest. The Seer is all and so much more. Are you prepared to meet the Seer? ~ Poem from Myths and Legends: A Guide of Safe Travel Against the Supernatural The Seer roleplay is intended to work as such. There is a central character, The Seer who travels across the land and has many encounters with other characters along the way. The Seer will continue the journey no matter what happens and while the Seer is in a sense the main character it is really the characters the Seer meets along the way that drive what happens. So as the Seer travels different story arcs transpire, be they character driven or Seer driven with characters plunging into the story. As the Seer will never stay in one spot characters can naturally fade out of the story when their arc is done, that way there can be a continual flux of characters going through the story. How long will your character stay with the Seer, well that is up to you. This roleplay idea is a bit unorthodox to be sure so I'm interested in seeing what people think of it. The Seer character is essentially unknown in the roleplay and therefore will only reveal itself through roleplay interaction. The Seer has limited precognitive powers, hence the name, which can be seen as either a blessing or a curse, depending on the location. Some want to use this power, others fear it, people want to capture the Seer, kill the Seer, learn from the Seer, or just avoid the Seer at all costs. How will your character react to the Seer? This roleplay takes place in a world that is just beginning to enter is renaissance period but is still mostly in a medieval state. Better technology is starting to take hold in places but the level of sophistication really relies on the location. As for magic, it exists to a certain extent. Magical beings are not common at this point in time but still exist but most people consider them myths at this point. Magicians for the most part no longer exist and arcanists and risen in their place. Arcanists know some old magic but for the most part supplement it with contraptions and chemicals that give the illusion of magic. The source of magic can come from at least two known sources, from the inside of living beings and from magic stones. Magic from inside people has been on the decline for quite some time, also magic stones are rare and once it loses its charge the magic is gone for good. This steady decline in magic is part of the reason new technologies are starting to be developed. Races and Monsters: The world does not have a wide variety of intelligent races, humans are the main population, anything else is rather miniscule at best. Elves for instance have faded into legend, Dwarves are just little people, and Orcs are fantasy. Humankind has been dominate for hundreds of years and anything else is barely even heard of anymore. Monsters have been on the decline for a long time as well, most having entered the fantasy and myth realm at least a hundred years ago. There are occasional sightings of supernatural creatures and some places can still have a decent amount of trouble but on the whole meeting fantasy beasts is very low in probability unless you are far from any civilization. Capturing a monster can fetch a high price with collectors of such 'endangered' species. Most of this age's 'monsters' are humans. (Decided to keep the sheets rather simple for simplicity's sake as you will probably be making multiple characters throughout the story arcs) Name: Appearance: Age: Gender: Bio: Who is the Seer?: (Before meeting the Seer what is your characters general impression on the subject) Name: Unknown Appearance: (Just ignore the 'tails') Age: Unknown Gender: Unknown Bio: The Seer is an enigma and seemingly unknowable. A wanderer who at times can see the future and seems to always have mysterious events surrounding The Seer's every journey. Who is The Seer? What is the Seer? Does even The Seer know its purpose or is The Seer merely tight-lipped? What is known about the Seer is wherever The Seer travels, change is soon to follow. Who is the Seer?: The Seer is The Seer, nothing more, nothing less. 1. People will come and go in this roleplay, as such this allows people to easily go away for a time before they come back in or make a new character. 2. Respect your fellow roleplayers, if you start to act badly I will not hesitate to politely ask you to leave. 3. Do your best to have proper grammar, spelling, and try to have at the very least a paragraph per post. If I find you unable to keep up with casual standards I will ask you to leave, though I will give you one post to have your character go away somewhere or even die if you so wish, a parting post so to speak. 4. No god-modding without my permission or The Seer will crush you like a bug. 5. Cry to be creative, make up side-stories and get involved. The Seer is the center piece but you are the players.

*points right index finger accusingly, about to speak but can't find any words, closes mouth and lowers hand with a pout* hmp.. first in ooc... *pouts more*

It took me 4 hours to write like a paragraph and a half >.<

@Amaranth Funnily enough I usually don't have a problem pumping out paragraph after paragraph of character descriptions. What always causes me to sit in front of my screen for hours on end without progress over is character names. #Ugh

well, if your having trouble making a name why not use a name generator? =3 you could just keep generation them until you find one that fits your character =3

I guess I'm just a slow writer in general. Well that and I get distracted easily xD But yes I know the feeling of struggling to find a good name too.

@NacNak I've tried that sort of thing before and it rarely works. For me I usually want a character name that's unique enough to be remembered as I usually recycle characters throughout various different settings. Whenever I make a new character it's usually either a one-off thing or I'm making it to fill a niche I had no previous characters to fill, if that makes since? EDIT: @Amaranth Also, your Katawa Shoujo avatar is legit. I hear they're making a second one?

makes sense to me =3 I think... I don't know if I entirely understand what niche means XD imma google it X3 I happen to use recycled characters, I have over 22 of them from the old guild before it went down =3 thought I only used about 6 or 7 of them since then, makes me feel kind of bad, like I'm abandoning the others... but what am I to do, some of them could only be accepted into the roleplays they were made for that have since died out, so they lay in wait... I don't know where I was going with this... eh-heh-heh X3

@Amaranth Also, your Katawa Shoujo avatar is legit. I hear they're making a second one?

Thanks! Misha is my spirit animal ^-^ Also if they are making a second, I don't know if I'll be able to play it ;~;

@NacNak I don't really have anything so formal as set character sheets for each one, more like a name and a general accompanying idea in regards to the personality and sometimes abilities of each. I used to have a word document I kept around with these sorts of vague outlines and character names but now-a-days it's all in my head.

@Amaranth Katawa Shoujo 2 Info Apparently there's going to be the option to gender-swap all the characters and play as a female protagonist which I think would be super boss. Also, why wouldn't you be able to play it?

hmm, I think I get that, over time from my first rp that I join back on the old guild, like the guild that got hacked and shut down before the old guild was made, my First character was Spartan, otherwise known as Johnathan, god I was such a bad roleplayer back then XD but over time I got better, and so did Spartan, his looks, abilities, and what not changed, but his mind and personality was still his own, and I know all my characters personalities, sure it's not written down, but it can be hard to forget when you create a person and or monster/robot/alien thing X3

My body couldn't handle the emotional rollercoaster a second time x.x It says it will be a spiritual successor and not a direct sequel, which I think I like better.

Oh god, don't even get me started on my terrible roleplaying skills. I started off with chat-based roleplaying (about 9 years ago) which all but promotes noobish one-liners, especially when it comes to combat. I think my first character was a generic animu-and-mango style dark-flame wielding, 4-katana-having mary-sue. It only got more generic from there.

Yeah, I can understand that. I don't know how big you are into visual novels but if you've ever played Yume Miru Kusuri (A drug that makes you dream), I remember Aeka's route (being about bullying) being one of the most emotional stories I've ever read about.

Visual Novels seem to have the effect of being suuuuper emotional, almost to the point of being ridiculous ahaha.
