Looking for 2/3 active and experienced RPers to begin a RP series set in a fantasy land.

I'm currently working on full background details for the world we'll be RPing in, but the general jist is as follows:

There's a continent (name is a pending) which contains four nations, with an unclaimed mountain range running down the centre of the main island, north to south. To the east of the mountain range is the most powerful of the four nations, the west side is split between two other nations, and the fourth nation is on a smaller island to the north of the main one.

The nations are each ruled over by an immortal being, who carved the world apart several thousand years ago, after wrestling control of the world from their father, who created the continent. Each of the immortals has power over one of the four main elements, fire, water, earth and air, and the landscapes of their realm somewhat reflect their element.

We will each start off with one character each who is a member of the nation under the control of the fire brother. Each year, the brother sends out his royal guard, to select ten people between the ages of sixteen and twenty-two to be taken to his secluded palace. Once there, they are never seen again. Our characters will be part of this group of ten. Upon arrival at the palace, it becomes slowly clear that you've been rounded up for a particular reason, and your selection was not random. All of you have something that makes you a little different, a latent power. You'll develop said power through the course of the RP. You discover that you've been brought to the palace, so that the immortal king can kill you and steal your power, to fuel his own immortality and to increase the intensity of his own powers. Your characters will escape and eventually lead a rebellion to overthrow the immortal king. But can you kill an immortal..? It's happened before... Hasn't it?

I'm interested. I love stuff like beating overwhelming odds and killing gods. What you've described reminds me of Mistborn.

I'd recommend taking a look at some of the RPs in the casual RP forum, to get a better idea of how to talk about your surroundings and character's actions. There's also a few useful posts in the forums with guides and rules. :)

Not heard of that? Is it a game?

@Miakardia Mistborn is pretty good book where the characters are trying to kill an immortal god-king.

@Tom Lyon Ah I see :)

Well my intention is (if everyone is enjoying it) to continue beyond defeating the Fire King, likely in the form of interactions with the other nations and their respect God-Monarchs, and maybe eventually discovering what became of the Creator (the 'Father' of the Monarchs).

@Thundercrash nothing too god like, and beyond that it becomes a bit of a case by case basis. One power as a starting point and preferable that one should be one that can start off latent and develop in power over time. As time goes on I am sure we can increase the strength and number of abilities some of the characters have.

I also want everyone to start with one character but I am fine with people creating additional ones alongside our main protagonists.

I am working on a map and lore for the world currently as well as character sheets for the Fire King and my own protagonist. Will likely be posted tomorrow night here to give people a better idea of what I want to do.

@Miakardia

This story seems like I could be interested in it. I'll keep an eye out for the OOC as well as the potential character sheet.
