Alright! This is a new pet project of mine, and I'd love to get some input from a few people, and hopefully form a group for the RP! I'll be looking for a small handful of players- Just enough to fit the set roles.

Essentially, this RP will take place in a fantasy world, and will start days before the beginning of a man-made apocalypse: Fairly cliche, it'd revolve around one hell of an overpowered necromancer/warlock who's bringing on legions of the undead and raining the apocalypse down, all that jazz. The players would take the part of "The Five", a bloodline of five heroes called upon in the world's great times of need. The hero of light, of shadow, of nature, of magic, and of fury. (Comparing them to classic D&D roles, they would be paladin, rogue, ranger, mage, and barbarian. This is only a rough comparison however, and their abilities will generally vary by a lot.)

Some weeks before the start of the apocalypse, each of these heroes- Born and raised into their role by their parent, the hero before them- received 'the call', the ancient signal that instinctively drives them to the meeting place of the original five. Once all of them have arrived, things begin to get... Interesting. Details on that, however, will wait until the RP proper. Plot spoilers, and all that.

I'm hoping to get five players, so that I can sit back and GM the RP. However, if I can only get four, then I'll be taking on the role of the hero of Shadow- Purely because it will be easiest to maintain distance and GM as that particular hero, while still interacting as needed.

For now, this intcheck is only to rally the players. Once we have enough, I'll deal with handing out the character sheets for each hero. This RP will be high-casual level, and spots won't be first come first serve- They'll go to the best CS for each character.

Color me interested. I'm in.

Awesome, that's one.

Interested as well!

Seems interesting. Watching.

Awesome, that's three people now! One or two more and we can get things rolling.

Hhhhh, what's the combat mechanic gonna be? Do you value more post length or good writing which gets to the point? And by "the best CS" do you mean one with many coding using colors or whatever to make it pretty or value the actual content in it? If you value content more which part do you take as a main point on judging the CS? Personality, bio , ability description, uniqueness of the character or all this elements have the same importance?

That's four, maybe five! And those are all good questions, @Bishop! I do like some length in posts, but I understand that sometimes it's easier to keep it short. So, I suppose my ideal -length- in a post would be anywhere between 1-6 paragraphs, but the content is what's important. Everything is equally important, so it's a judgement of the overall character, rather than any coding on the paragraph or immense length.

As to the combat system, I'm going to rely mainly on a logic base: As heroes, you will of course have access to superhuman abilities- But then, so will many of your more powerful enemies. Assuming I get all five players needed, I can safely GM and play as the NPCs you battle against. Trash mobs and the like will be cake, within reason- Larger foes, or more powerful ones, you the players will be pitted against me, as the enemy. (Or enemies.)

Alright, so, I'm currently suffering from a pretty nasty fever. I normally kick these pretty fast, so I'll have the character sheets up either late tonight or some time tomorrow. Sorry for the delay folks.

@Vilhelm No worries! Hope you feel better soon.

I would also be very interested!

ALRIGHT! I'm still sick as hell, but it's at least survivable now. SO! What I'm posting here is the basic character skeleton- The sections that every hero will have. The specifics for each hero will be done later, over PMs, once I decide on who's who and what's what.

And so, the basics:



There's the basics! History, skills, inventory, and magic will be handled in detail once the hero choices have been made.

Looks like mine is in first. Let me know if I did anything wrong here.

That looks good, Sar! Pretty much what I was hoping for- Enough to brutally judge carefully consider who gets who, without being obscene walls of text. So, if anybody needs a jumping off point for what their CS should vaguely look like, that's a good idea of it.

In that case...



I wasn't sure if I should put clothes under appearance until history/gear is settled, so I left it blank.

Looks good QD~. Look forward to seeing the rest of the CSs!

Hope its not too late for me to join..?

Not at all! Until I've got a definite answer on who will be playing each hero, it's open. (And even then, side-characters may be accepted when the story calls for more people.)

splendid I'll work on my CS right away. :D
