Artificial Spirits



Artificial Spirits is an original fantasy world roleplay, taking place in the declining years of the world. The lands of men and monster have the atmosphere all too similar to that of the final days of Rome on our planet. Problems must be solved, but said problems make it very hard to find answers. However, a certain Goddess has decided that such a thing is irrelevant to the grand scheme of things, and has enacted a plan to change fate.

You are a piece in that plan. However, you are not necessarily a hero "blessed by the gods". You are not a natural inhabitant of this world. Rather, you are an artificial soul created by this Goddess to inhabit the body of another to give you a physical form. As such, the application process will certainly be different than other roleplays, as your "character" is just a soul inhabiting a body that isn't even theirs, with all the baggage that person(now just a soulless body) had before they expired- along with their powerful abilities, magic, or talents.

However, a certain amount of customization is needed to personalize ones RP experience. As such, you will be able to determine the powers, alignment, race, and appearance of the body you inhabit- but not what they were like in life, nor what they did during their life. After you apply your characters new body, I will write their history and personality, both of which you must discover yourself in the RP, if you care enough about what your body did during its life. You will of course be able to determine the personality of your artificial soul who is now inhabiting that body, of course. You know little of this world you were just born into, meaning knowledge of the worlds situation and history is almost 0.

If anyone has questions or concerns, feel free. This is an unorthodox approach to a fantasy RP that I hope will make things more interesting- making RPers learn about the world through action, rather than looking at large paragraphs in the OOC.

I'm interested.
I've always loved the concept of being given a certain role, and working off of that.

The character sheets and races are up. Feel free to ask any question; the information is somewhat limited, but I'm more than willing to explain any of it in more depth.

Oh, and I forgot to say this, but do keep in mind that you guys will be equivalent to a "Hero" in terms of power, so you won't be pushovers- you will be powerful at the start of this RP, for better or worse. However, make sure to keep your number of skills, techniques, magic, etc. within reason. Pick a theme for your character and go with it.

Ok, so I have a few questions.

I have never played D&D before, so I have no idea what Alignment is... could you please explain that to me?

Also, the Mer-folk: you didn't say much about their magical ability or physical talents and strength. Should I assume that they are kind of like humans in their general ability to learn and adapt, or are they super-smart?

This should explain a bit better than I could.

They're a bit smarter than humans, so they learn relatively quickly. In terms of physical strength, outside of water they're at or a little bit below humans. In terms of magic, they're fairly talented and are comparable to elves. Their physical abilities increase a great deal when submerged, however.

Is there any possibility for a humanoid plant race?

I don't intend to add anymore races to the current 17- there are other sentient races not included in this 17, but I planned on releasing other races later on, when I allow people to have a second character.

However I just realized I was going to add a Dryad race to the initial starting races but it got lost in my notes somewhere along the line, and you just reminded me they exist.

So yes, there will be a humanoid plant race. I'll add it in now. I can't believe I forgot they existed. I feel like a fooooool.

I also just added "Name" to the Artificial Spirit sheet, because it's going to be confusing if we wait until the RP starts for you to figure out your characters names. Any central or east European language should work fine.
