This is a quest type roleplay. There is a dictator on the rise and He's trying to take over the country of Kaven. Three or more people meet together but before long they find out about what's going on and head out to find a weapon of power beyond all recognition. You have a choice of three main race, mixing races is a possibility. If you want to play a different race, message me.

Human- They lived their lives in Varen expanding and populating, eventually reaching the other continent of Kaven(though at that time it was only one continent). They believe elves to be mere legends, and figure dwarves to be greedy. Humans tend to be skilled at basic swordplay, but occasionally, there comes one or two extremely skilled swordfighters, although most humans lately are magic users. Humans live a maximum of 107 years

Elves- Regarded as legends by most other Races, they spend their lives in the Forests of Calltraan. Elves are least likely to produce a half-elf as half-breeds are generally looked down upon. Only one or two elves a year leave these large forests and, disguised as humans venture the world. Elves tend to be good at Raged combat, and tend to dabble in magic. Elves live a maximum of 300 years

Dwarves- Dwarves are the main choice of other races as builders. Usually they live in or near mountains especially around the Daltron mountains. Dwarves are probably the only race who know that the elves even exist. Dwarves tend to be good at close combat, with swords and axes. It is highly rumored that Dwarves fear magic, yet in truth they tend to steer clear of it because of as they say 'Nothing beats the value of hard work.' Dwarves live a maximum of 175 years.

The special races are the Koven(Amphibian race, half frog half human), Friitan(Half Scorpian Half human) Savaal(Similar to previous, except part snake), Barbarians(essentially humans who live in the plains, preferring to live a simpler life), or a Straid(Near immortal children of the gods. Responsible for bringing magic to the world).

It would take too long to list all of the races, places, every detail of the world, so if you have any questions, or if you want to play one of the other optional races, message me and I'll answer any questions.

No one is guaranteed to be able to be one of these races. The Straid will be reserved primarily for people I have RPed with, however I will only allow one. First come first served. If you wish to be the Straid, despite this, send me either an excerpt of your ability to RP, or a link to an RP you have been in prior.

Now if you've stuck around, and are interested in joining this RP, I only have a few rules. Well, actually two.

One: Use common sense. If you think something is Godmodding don't do it. If, ooc, you have to stop and think 'Is this rude?' chances are it probably is. Use common sense.
Two: Please post about at least a paragraph. As an RPer, your posts rely on other people's posts, and vice versa. If you can think of details that might seem inconsequential, add it in! It adds detail and a layer of depth to your post.
Three(I hear you calling me a liar): Have fun! This is what RPing is all about. Having fun and creating a story with other people.

And that's pretty much it. If you want to join, fill out a character sheet, and I'll approve it or let you know if you need to change anything as soon as possible. And then all that's left is waiting untill about five people(other than myself) join

Character sheet:

Name(Full):
Age:
Race:
Appearance:
Personality:
Background:

I feel like I will enjoy this rp. If I do join, I probably be a Savaal.

Wouldnt it be better if you are the straid? That way people cant god-mod it?

Alright. Because I've seen you RP, you can just create a Savaal character. At the point of the Straid, while that is a good Idea, my character is already made, and It would be somewhat hard to control more characters than I already will be(my character, the main villain, and sub-tier characters) However I will change it so it's reserved, or restricted to those who send me either a RP excerpt or a link to a prior RP they've been in.

Name(Full):
Athena (Doesnt know her last name. She was born an orphan)

Age:
16

Race:
Savaal

Appearance:


Personality:
Adventurous, friendly, approachable, kind and becomes aggressive when she feels her opponent is too tough for her, which ends up with her burning out. Depending on how long she is like that. If she is like that too long she usually starts to burn her skin and scales off which ends with her in a coma, or worse.

Background:
Athena was quite different to the other Savaal kids when she was younger. Rather than play fighting or playing sports, she spent her time reading or exploring. This persisted for years.. Till the faithful day of her first crush... She watched him from a distance and was envious of all the other girls which talked to him. She eventually brought enough courage to speak to him and ask him on a "Date" of sorts where they explored a nearby cave that she hadnt noticed before. They both went in and only her crush came out...

Accepted. Just plop that into characters. Great background by the way.

A quick note. I'll probably wait for only one or two more people before we start, this'll also add to everything as it would be odd that everyone just happened to be in the same place at the same time.

Yeah, I understand

Name(Full): Andre Ashriver
Age:26
Race: Elf-Orc
Appearance:
very muscular with a chest covered in scars, but something one would notice at first glance is a large bulge on his chest where his heart is, that bulge is a Heart Scarab, he appears to be wearing iron gauntlets but these are his hands, He wears thick leather Boots
Personality: Passionate is the best way to describe Andre, whatever his current goal you can expect him put his all into it another thing one, and as such he has a love for fighting (He gets its from his mother who was a berserker). But spite this he also like peace and quiet from time to time especially when he is fishing
Background: Never talks about it, as he finds it a waste of time to focus on things that have passed us by "Buh ah can tell yuus une thing aboot me pahst my Mum wash an urc Buh my Pah wash an Elf"

@chaotic38 ave made a guy

There are actually no orcs. The full list of species is up in the first post.

@chaotic38 sorry bro i was just going to re-use an old character, but i can always change it into a barbarian

That's fine. Just a tip though, when you go into a new RP, make sure you thoroughly read the first post, it usually has some helpful information.

@chaotic38 yeah i think i need new glasses. also how do you feel about undead player characters

The undead are rare in the world, and the majority follow the main villain. So create a character sheet, and If I approve I'll let you be an undead character.

And if he does approve and you have to be evil, then Ill be very pleased >=)

Name(Full): Sir Arin Bladewreath The Under-Knight
Age: ???
Race: Skeleton
Appearance:
Personality: Hes you're stereotypical knight, but beneath his kind and honorable exterior is a much more cruel and vile side, its a side that he fights to keep under control everyday
Background: Sir Arin was risen by the necromancer to join his undead army but on one of his many pillage for his he came upon a Living Blessing being a mindless undead at the time who the words caution had no meaning to him. he approached the Living Blessing and attempted to strike it down but when it blade came in contact the blessing, Sir Arin's Mind was filled with memories of a Valiant Knight whose loyalties lied only with those who could not defend themselves.

Great. Just a couple minor changes. The main villain isn't a necromancer, but he does have necromancers under him. But other than that, you're good to put that under characters.

Alright. Since we have half the max number of people, we'll get started. The first IC post will go up in a minute, and then let the Quest begin XD

I've got a few questions, sorry if it seems to be a bit much, I just like to know where I stand with roleplays of this nature. Chief among them would be; Would you be willing to accept were-creatures? I was sort of toying with the idea of bringing back this one concept I had used a while back of a slightly grumpy middle-aged (for a human) werebear ranger/druid. The others are as follows:
-Assuming were-creatures are a part of this setting
-What would be their range of longevity?
-Are they rare?
-Can a were-creature of any species maintain control over their animal impulses with experience/age?
-Is transformation strictly done under the full moon, or can the proper "class" actually do so more or less willingly at the risk of becoming less man and more beast with repeated transformations?

Again, sorry if it seems to be a bit much, i'd just prefer to make a character that gels properly with this setting. If you'd prefer then I could simply make a human character and be done with it.

Were-creatures, typically wolves though sometimes other animals do happen, do exist, however they are extremely rare, as they would have to have been cursed by the gods themselves. If anyone wants a list of gods and what they represent they can owl me. They essentially, like Straids, live forever barring illness or death by unnatural means. The time that they are cursed to be transformed varies, depending on the crime that got the gods attention(It needs to be really extreme to get them to personally get involved). The most extreme case is one who was set to be permanently transformed, as well as being trapped in a magical prison. The average is about a week per month with the central day being on the full moon.
