Maybe you can help me. My character feels flat, currently. What kind of philosophy does the god Michael promote?

a lot of times, war. He's basically the human war god. But in general, different to everyone who praises him.

In the last incarnations though, he was really somber due to the plight of the Gods, inability to help down bekow as faith in them fell.... hard.

I'm working on the IC, got a couple more segments. I'm not sure if the following are still interested, but we have four so we could reasonably start.

@Dymion
@RyanTadashi
@ErsatzEmperor
@Uffizi
@Skallagrim

I'm keeping a running list of interest as well, in order to know how many in any amount of incarnations actually join

I didn't list the interest from the last few pages, as they are new so presumably are working. same as Kimi, who professes to be working on theirs.

Fair enough

Still working on it >.<!

I suspect this shall be the greatest CS Allaria has ever seen.

They will tell tales of its majesty and fine craftsman-ship. Maidens will weep when the character falls to a horrible accident involving a Dwarf and a low tree branch.

Allaria, the Second Book: The Kimi Retribution

Michael is different to everyone who prays to him? What does that mean? Does he personally descend from the heavens to speak with everyone who prays?

That's a serious question, by the way, not sarcasm. I have no real idea how religion works in this setting, but surely it must be that way, if there are no priesthoods or teachings or anything. I mean, how is a religion supposed to flourish without a hard-working PR department? Then again, I suppose the very premise of the game is that religious worship is in the toilet.

Is it possible to have a character who just shrugs his shoulders at the entire god business but still joined the resistance because the Apotheoses need to be dealt with?

I think the idea is that Michael represents all of humanity, and their most prominent trait is their wide range of professions. Michael might be the god you'd pray to for aid in war if you were a soldier, but he might also be someone you'd look to for spiritual guidance or the healing of a loved one, or for wealth and prosperity if you happened to be a merchant. The only common trait is that he is the 'human' god, the god of Humanity.

I imagine him a bit like Talos from Elder Scrolls.

And yeah, god worship fell apart in the last couple of RP's, they have next to no power now as the atheists, ahem, apotheoses have taken over, and yes it's not really necessary to be a devout follower of a god to join the resistance, they have committed a lot of wrongs that transcend spirituality.

No, no, no, no, no!
Too high off an expectation >.<!
Nuuuuuu!

Hope this works for you. Not sure how you want his magic formatted.

Name: Roland Porta

Age: 27

Race: Human

Class:
Major: Druid (or earth mage, or whatever you want to call it. Not necessarily a barefoot, tree-hugging shroom addict)
Minor: Farmer

God: N/A

Appearance:
Standing at 6'4'' and a respectable 267lbs, Roland was always one of the largest men in his town. While he has a tendency to overindulge in food and wine, a lifetime of hard labour has made him just as strong as he is fat. He has brown hair and eyes, the sunburned skin and calloused hands of a farmer, and the perpetually red nose of a drunkard. He wears simple but well-made clothes, as well as sturdy boots made for hard use.

Personality:
Roland is an outgoing and jovial fellow for the most part. He can be loud and boastful if he's in a good mood, but all is said with an overtone of friendliness. He is kind and generous when he can afford it, and apologetic when he cannot. He tends to keep a calm (or at least moderately drunk) head in most situations, and would much rather make friends than enemies. While he is no coward and certainly enjoys a bit of sparring or good-natured fisticuffs, he would rather not engage in real fighting unless he has to - of course he realizes that being in the resistance inevitably means fighting, but that's exactly the reason he doesn't want to do it more than necessary.

Not particularly ambitious, he is content to follow the leader. He'll make decisions on his own if necessary, but he considers it an ill-fated party that needs take its cues from him. He was never particularly interested in developing his magic, either, at least not beyond its uses in farmwork. In fact, he would have preferred a calm life of tending his father's orchards and fields and brewery, to the life of a resistance fighter. He was hesitant to accept the mission he's on in the first place, but a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.

Spirit Animal: Musk Ox

Equipment: Iron-Bound Quarterstaff, High-Quality Boots, Simple Brewing Kit, Travel Gear, Wineskins

Skills:
Major: Nature Magic (See below)
Minor: Brewing (the noble art of growing hops, grapes, apples and what not and turning them into brew in various ways, as well as the farmwork that goes with it)

Magic:
The magic of the earth in his family's veins runs almost as thick as the fermented mash does, and Roland himself had a particular knack for it - felling trees, clearing fields of boulders and persuading gophers' nests to cave in - and while he exercised his power vigorously in his youth, the resistance preferred magics with a more martial bent. While he is yet only a beginner at slaying with spells, Roland has some power over nature, to encourage plants to grow, enhance crop yields and so forth. What's more, he can move earth, stone and wood - fling projectiles without a crossbow, kick up sand and dust with a gesture, and similar.

Strengths:
*Big. Roland is a tall, strong man accustomed to physical labour. While he lacks any real combat proficiency, he can box the ear of the average human male with little difficulty. For everything else, he literally carries a big stick.

*Thanks in part to his size, but much more to his experience, he can drink vast quantities of alcohol before he suffers any outwardly noticeable effect.

*He has a passion for brewing everything from wine to mead, and quite a lot of skill at brewing acceptable drinks even with minimal equipment.

*Roland can easily find things in common with the commoners of just about any area - discussing irrigation and crop rotation, dispensing ever-popular advice on small-scale brewing, or simply partaking in a spirited bar fight.

Weaknesses:
*No particular combat skills beyond the basics of bashing in heads with a big, iron-banded stick. In serious combat, he's consigned to relying on his magic or trying to keep the enemy at bay until rescue arrives.

*Alcoholism. While Roland manages it by ingesting a relatively steady stream of low-potency drink, he does have a tendency to overindulge when presented with more powerful spirits. Effects vary from minor inconvenience to crippling drunkenness depending on the situation.

*Fat. Though a life of hard work and exertion has kept Roland healthy and strong, it can't entirely keep up with his love of good food and drink. His paunch gives him a distinct outline, especially when coupled with his height, and he's never going to be much of an acrobat.

History:
The descendant of countless generations of brewmasters, Roland grew up on a large farm with vast fields and orchards, where his family grew various fruits and grains for the purpose of making alcoholic beverages. Raised on a diet of malt liquor and hard work, he turned out to be a well-adjusted and strong young man, honest and respected, a worthy heir to his parents' legacy. Unfortunately, he was only a fifth child, and far from the only sibling with a good head on his shoulder, so when the resistance came by, looking for recruits, he gave up his inheritance and dedicated his life to making the world a better place. Ever since, he has made every resistance camp he has visited a happier place to be - at least until the morning after.

Post Sample: I made this game. I hope that counts.

@Maxwell I would ask that you switch your classes around, to reflect the experience you have in earth magery, you druidic little shit <3

How strong is he, compared to his lack of combat ability? Because, his strength could make up for it. Though, it won't help for long range fights, but he has a bit of magic for that.

I'll keep an eye on your magic, however, to see where it goes and how strong it starts and where it ends. Can't have you lot whipping dirt boulders at faces, and trying to come up with the Legend Kill of this Chapter.

Also, you need a post color(mainly so I can differeniate you people)

@Kimiyosis -Singsong voice- Lowered Expectations~~~~ (Anyone who gets the reference is literally my new bestie)

Switch my classes around? What do you mean? Post colour? What do you mean? I'm starting to feel like a broken record, here.

As for how strong he is, not superhuman or anything. He might be able to deadlift 4-500lbs or so, but he knows about as much about fighting as any peasant who's been training only with sticks for a month. I wasn't planning on having him win any fencing matches, if that's what you're wondering.

As for magic, I have no idea how powerful it's supposed to be in this setting, so the best I can do is blindly guess.

Classes:

Major: Farmer
Minor: Earth Mage

In general, I wanted to focus on the people who don't get much mention, whereas most fantasy RPs allow for everyone to come in as battle ready, this one is meant to focus on people who are also in the armies, the farmers, the cooks, the people who were probably most effected.

Post color is simply, what color would their dialogue be? Like Khandy's characters is Deep Pink

Magic at this stage isn't too strong, at least, for you guys, but you've gotten some training in it to be applied to this mission. So think, low levell, but not completely useless. Allaria is meant to build up from the peasant to the new hero, with each chapter allowing for stronger characters.

Oh. Can't believe I missed that. Et tu, Roleplayerguild?

I'll be bowing out, then. I'm allergic to coloured dialogue.

Alright.

But, in general, you wouldn't have to use it. Hahah. It would mainly be for me.

Your color intimidates people even on guild.

It's the black in me.
