Greetings fellow roleplayers,
So I have been toying with the idea of setting up a fantasy naval adventure experiment in which both the seas as the world we roleplay in is largely ‘uncharted’. What this means is that we will all add to the world through our backstories and the stories we experience.
This means we all introduce places, species, cultures, habits and so on trough our interactions with the world. In that spirit you can join as nigh anything you like, with the only reccomendations being that you will be able to interact with another player character within a post or 2. Standard procedures surrounding character application via the OOC first apply.
Main thing is that we should reach a consensus about a few general notions in this world. As these are my preferences I will just line them up below, but they are very much open to discussion:
-Magic is rare in this world, those that apply it do so in various ways and are held in suspicion amongst the populace (if they don't go 'burn the witch' right away). Amongst those sailing the seas however pragmatism has provided room for outcasts with particular skillsets.
-The main theatre of our adventures is dotted with many isles to the west of a 'mainland' from which your typical European/Arabian medieval character would stem. The Isles are largely uncharted due to frequent mists, mealstorms etc. They are a hotbed for pirates, cults, odd beasts and so on.
-There are multiple races in the world, the most familiar being the standard trio of Dwarves, Elves and Men. Men have 'civilized' most of the previously mentioned 'mainland' and there is a good hint of racism in most societies.
Again, very much open to discussion.
Now for the technicalities:
I would suggest that you have full freedom in your manipulation the NPC's around you save for some NPC's that I will mark in the OOC. Every 2-3 days I make a post in which I reply to all so give your posts an ending or progression that is open to my manipulation. I suggest ending posts with something of which you do not need or want to controll the outcome.
Well, I will get an OOC up soon with a character and thus the first additions to our world.
Let me know what you think and if you are interested!
