“When it turned into war… I didn’t think it would turn like this…”

---

It was 10 years ago… the royal family of Alber was brutally murdered by savage and corrupt spies who disguised as the soldiers of Alber. With this, came the rage of the kingdom’s people and soon a quick search for a successor began… but to no avail, it ended up in a civil war, fires were an everyday thing, and corrupt politicians tried to take the stand, but were quickly shot down or assassinated. It was clear that absolutely nothing was going to work and the crown was not going to get passed to any of the surviving family members since the king never really did bear any legitimate children.

5 years after the murders, a group was formed by a ragtag group of friends who decided to stick together during these difficult times, and they are still trying their best to keep themselves under wraps while politics and fighting still wrecks the towns and cities close to the grand city of Alber.

Another 5 years later and nothing is solved at all. The friends are still together, except more people are joining them in this brutal war, and so the friends have decided to keep tabs on them as they also fight for their freedom…

This is your story…

What happens now is up to you…

Hello! This is an idea made by myself and Salrynn.

This is a Low/Dark Fantasy RP set in a medieval kingdom beset by civil war. The main characters are members of a mercenary company, started as a way for a group of friends to fight together, but has turned into quite the formidable force over the years.

This RP will concentrate on pitched and somewhat realistic medieval battles, meaning that its probably going to not be for the faint of heart, if you are good with descriptions. And yes, it is set far back, so sexism/racism/various other isms are going to be rife. SO be careful if you are offended by that sort of thing.

Magic wont really be a thing, although there are some things in the world that arent quite...explainable, so to speak. Some of them will be explored as the RP goes on.

Medieval politics both in and out of the company will also exist. Maybe one mercenary will be looking for a quick promotion, or see the company as a way to get what he wants, conflicting with other members. On a larger scale, the company could work for any side in the war, and should they come out on top, could get rewards beyond their wildest dreams.

A story and world has already been mostly written already, so...what do you think?

-Jumps onto the Interest horse- We shall ride!

No...This seems really interesting, though.

Well I would obviously be here :P muahahaha. *hopes others are interested*

@Salrynn I hope others are interested too. Because this seems like a cool rp concept.

Hehe ^^

This looks quite interesting, I do have some questions however. Will there be any restriction on the types of characters? Should we make a more knight like character? Or will a martial artist type character work, ect?
This sounds like a great idea and one I would love to be apart of if you'll have me!

I'm all in for a variety of character types tbh @thesquish, but Vulkan may have a different opinion x)

I'd be game. Could you explain a tad more about how magic or as you said 'some things in the world that arent quite…explainable' are going to work? I tend to like playing mages or spellswords you see. I'm cool not doing so if that'd fit into the RP better, but I thought best to ask just in case.

@thesquish

Stuff like that is fine. There are plenty of other foreign cultures apart from this land. You can have any kind of fighting style you like, as long as its reasonably realistic.

@Karos

Magic is all indirect, like seeing the future, partially controlling animals and mild healing (like making sure a wound rots slower and infection dousnt set in)

Magic isn't overly powerful. Its kind of Shaman-like, so to speak. Some rulers do have court mages, but they aren't really expected to do much beyond reading fates and making sure the royal family dousn't drop dead of a cold.

There were more powerful magic users once, but they are long gone.

@Vulkan Would it possible to play a knightly seer of sorts then?

@Karos

I dont see why not. There are many ways to read the future in this setting.

Looks like this is the replacement for Imperfect World? You coulda told me, Vulkan! ;-;

The Roleplay I've been in has been slowing down, so I'm free for another, and I'd sure be down for this.

Interested. Are there multiple races present or will this be a strictly human setting? I'm down either way.

I'm not promising interest, but I am subscribing and watching.

Also, Tex's question goes for me as well. Personally, I'll probably play a human either way, but I'd still like to know if it's an option.

I'll be joining :D

This sounds like a lot of fun. Consider me down.

I might be interested in joining.

@Vocab

Actually, imperfect world is still in the works, mate. XD

@tex

Strictly human, I'm afraid.

@Vulkan Fuck it, I'll join em both!

Strictly human, I'm afraid.

You have obtained +1 Jeyma interest.

In other words, I'm officially planning on joining this RP.
