ebonfort.wikia.com/wiki/Ebonfort_Wikia

I'm going to try and explain my goal with this as simply as possible. This is not a world for a single story with several people in it, that runs forever and has the risk of dying should people disappear, lose interest, etc. This is a world that will be used for many stories.

You will create your character and submit in here for review/approval. Once accepted, you can participate in any story with others that have been approved as well (you can do anything from 1x1s, stories with 12 people, or even solos). These stories will not be posted in here, but rather will be their own posting in either Casual or Advanced. Once you've started the story there, I ask that you post the link here just so I can read it/follow it. Upon completion of the story, let me know so I can read and review it and give out loots and skill points as I feel work. (Similar to a DM in a tabletop)

In addition to posting with other characters, my own included, you can ask for a GM moderated story. These are usually bigger scale quests and the like, things with higher risk, higher rewards.

Also this entire world will constantly be under development, and if you ever wish to develop something yourself, anything from Race Writeups, Magic Writeups, City/Location creation, etc, etc, let me know and we'll make it work :D



1) All Site Rules apply.
2) All characters must be applied for in the OOC before being put in the CS section.
3) No powerplaying, godmodding, etc, etc. This will get your character killed/removed.
4) All development ideas must be pitched to me, either through the OOC or through PM before being created.
5) All stories using this world must submit a link of said story in the OOC.
6) 1 Character per village/town/city, and must never be in the same place as another character of yours during the same time period, and may never interact.

Step 1: Read lots of the lore. There is a bunch of lore, and more constantly being added everyday concerning Ebonfort. A few good ones for making your Character Sheet are below.

City List - Various locales that your character can be born in, live in, or visit.
Race List - Various species that your character can be.
Magic List - Various magicks that your character can learn and use.
Skills List - Various skills your character can learn and use.
Price List - Various items your character can purchase and own.

Step 2: Create a Character Sheet and post it in this OOC section for review. I strongly recommend the use of the Character Sheet Template so that you include all the required bits. I also suggest reviewing the Character Sheet Section so that you may see what has been approved.

Step 3: If your Character Sheet has been approved and added to the Character Sheet Section, then find a writing partner and follow the Writing Protocols listed below.

This is going to be the simple step by step process for how to get into this RP setting.

1) Read the lore and articles herein.
2) Create a character sheet using the template provided, and submit it to the OOC or to me via PM.
3) If approved, move character sheet to Character Sheet section.
4) Find a/some writing partner(s) from the other approved characters or from any of the GMs.
5) Decide if you want to make a casual or advanced story.
6) One of you create the story in the appropriate RP section as agreed, include the timestamp from the templates.
7) Add the URL for the newly created story to your CS.
8) You and your partners write your story, remembering to keep your skills within their levels as shown in your CS.
9) Upon completing your story(ies), submit the URL(s) to me for a Reward Review via PM or OOC.
10) I, or another GM, will post the Skill points earned, items/money earned, and anything else appropriate in a single post at the end of the story.
11) Update your CS with these additions.
12) Rinse and repeat from Step 4 onward.

If you're a GM, feel free to call dibs on any number of projects you wish to work on.
If you're an active Ebonforter, feel free to call dibs on any single project not claimed.
If you're a volunteer from outside this RP, just ask me/co-gms to work on anything, but you cannot claim dibs.

My Christmas break runs from Dec 22-jan 6, and during this time I'll be working to fill out much of the Lore/wiki. As such I'll be hosting a fun little thing. During that time period, if you submit at least 1 fully written article (race/magic/'monster/whatever) you'll get 1 GM artifact attaced to one of your characters. Article must be approved in order to count.

For every full article after the first, you'll receive a drawing for one of 3 GM artifacts.

GM artifacts can be used for one of 3 things (keep in mind these are OOC items).
1) one time use as a saving throw from anything (death, injury, loss of favorite blankie)
2) turn in with a completed story for enhanced rewards.
3) gain the chance to undertake a quest for a rare one of a kind item tailored to your character.

As always, leave questions, comments, and concerns!
