Gonna post a map thing and disappear for a few hours.

@Aristo Does that green air I made for Dahtru seem fitting to you? By Lemuria.

I might start adding mountains/rivers soon. Dunno. If I add mountains, expect lots of really boring triangles.

Also, @Jotunn Draugr: I notice your profile says your character has never lost a battle. We're neighbors, and that's exactly what my whole shtick for Fernando is (the loyal, masterful general who has never lost a battle).

Thus, either your character and the Doge of Vespania never warred in the past, neither of our characters actually fought the other directly, or one of us lost a battle. (Or both of us lost battles against each other. That one's my vote.)

EDIT: Also, I think I'm going to make one of the honorifics people use to refer to Fernando (though he doesn't encourage it) "The Lion of Vespania."

I like that island there in Atlantis. I want that island. I'm going to name that island and then do something with it.

Suppose we met once on the battlefield, and the fight was inconclusive, with both sides walking away with heavy losses? From which point, we pursued territory elsewhere, out of mutual respect, and a desire to not waste military resources when there are easier targets around.

How's that sound?

Haha sounds good. Honorifics always work well in these kinds of settings. I'm thinking of simply going by "The Man of Stone", cold, unchanging, and difficult to break.

I was considering a plot wherein your characters' nations went to war for the first time against each other. It's possible their respective expansion has just so far not resulted in either nation meeting until the beginning of the RP.

I do think it would be more epic for 2 undefeated leaders to meet each other for the first time

Point made. I'm up for that, if Shorticus is.

It sounds like we have an agreement. Both undefeated, fighting for the first time.

It's Mother's Day, and my first day off is today out of the work week. I haven't had time to work on a character sheet, but I will after this whole ordeal is over.

Now that my own character is done (go check her out, though I might have stolen Aristo's Joan of Arc idea ), not really. Anyone still working on a character can join us after we start; I'm sure we won't get too far ahead.

I'm going to start working on the IC over the next few days. Expect to see it probably in the middle-end of the coming week.

So, a word on how this game will work, since it's a little different from what you may be used to.

Basically, my control over your character's story starts and ends exactly where you want it to. You'll all start your characters off however you choose (the Journey section of the CS was meant to help with this), and with each of your posts you can progress them as far as you'd like. I'm a big fan of glossing over boring details, so say if you are on march with your troops, you don't have to dedicate a million and a half posts to actually marching around with them. NPCs and plot elements are by and large yours to control, though with the latter, you may want to consult with me to get a better of idea of how to use them to push your story forward. My posts will exist to add or relieve conflict, ambiguity, mystery, etc. In essence, I "play" the setting, and will personally contribute as much as you allow me to.

Does this make sense to everyone? Feel free to gander at the original Age of Dawn thread to see what the playing was like if you don't understand.

Still around, I have all of my final exams from Thursday to next Wednesday, so I might go quiet for a bit in the next few days, but I should still be around.

IC is up futhermuckers! Reply when you're free to.

The opening post is just a tone-setter. Really not meant to be a prompt. All of you are clear to be doing your own thing wherever.
