Hard to trust anyone when the entire world is apparently death trap, I suppose.

"Every night, we're set upon by a horrible black tide that rises from the woods and waters and swallows those that walk in it. Our king is dead, our nation is in shambles, and we're hanging on to life with the dogged perseverance of a stubborn survivor. So no, I do not want to see you juggle three fucking colorful balls while singing a thinly-veiled song about sex. Piss off."

Why don't you embrace the despair that plagues this world? Become a tax collector.

Just noticed this but @Oddsbod what happened to Nephilim in the People of Invernier tab?

I'm not saying a trickster is a bad idea, like, it'd totally be fun to play and it's a cool concept, you'd just gotta make sure they're good and dodging thrown obects.

A historian would be cool, for like a scholarly character. They'd get along with my character too, since he'll be an archaeologist. If you do wanna stick to something bard-ish, a storyteller or a singer who can read the mood and has songs more fitting for what's basically gloomy rural Scotland would be likable enough to the average farmer.

I'll touch on that in the main post, but after thinking about it, I decided to lump nephilim together with dragons and the undead as a known, sentient, but nonplayer race. I feel a nephilim would just stand out way too much, and it might feel too much like hoop jumping to get this quasi-mythic giant to be in the rural middle of nowhere with the other player characters.

I might play some Crookish Knight, who puts himself first.

Almost done I swear. Expect the OOC to go up sometime late tomorrow. In the meantime, a small peak at the post, a part of the section that describes our starting location:

That sounds like a blast. There were plenty of strong but crooked knights in the Army of Heroes, so that could be a neat way to build up backstory for your character, if you want. Or go for something totally different, a corrupt warrior gives you a billion and one different stories to try writing.

@Oxy See if you can find them on google, and wait for the image to fully load in (that little grey bar at the bottom should vanish). Usually works for me.

@Oxy Lol, got there in the end, nice. I actually had no idea you could upload straight to roleplayerguild, how do you do that?

Those're some neat interpretations, I especially love that first extra image with the giant knight. The old guy art is also super pretty, I know Ogo is using it for his Final Fantasy RPG.

I've never played it and don't actually know anything about it, but I've been told that basically everything fantasy-related that I touch turns into Dark Souls, so concept art from that would probs be pretty on point as well.

@Oddsbod

Go to your profile page and scroll down until you get to images under arena status. Create an album then upload away.

@Oxy YES at gun slingin' Nephilim. He looks fantastic.

I have an idea for a Carnelian marksman (bow/crossbow) who recently acquired a beautiful antique harquebus and wants to learn to use it. Your character and mine, given the distrustful nature of their respective races, could have quite an interesting dynamic.

@Life in Stasis What a coincidence. I've been thinking my character got trained to make guns when he was a kid. Though he doesn't learn anything about guns, falls in love with gunpowder, and decides to make bombs instead, but still.

Many apologies, I know I said the OOC would be up today, but finishing this post has taken much, much more time than I was expecting. It'll be done soon! But probably Friday, not Thursday.

However, in the meantime, I have the fully completed Race descriptions, and a decent chunk of the Setting section finished, and I'll post that here. Feel free to have a look if you wanna see whats coming (I swear I'm really gonna try to wrap it all up by tomorrow though, for real this time).

(Also, bear in mind this hasn't been edited, so it's probably a bit longer than the actual OOC is going to be. The OOC is also going to be split into several posts with a Table of Contents linking to each relevant post, like what Ogo did for his Final Fantasy RP)

They feel an immense affinity for water, and are found most commonly by lakes, rivers, and the coast. Many are sailors, fishers, and shipwrights.


Spiders that swim? What nightmarish underworld is this!?

But ...I still like it. :(.

@Oddsbod My sincere apologies if I'm being inconsiderate, but do you have a CS ready yet? I usually take eons to make a decent character.

I'll try and get a proper skeleton up tomorrow, and a sample character as well, but it'll be your bog-standard basic personality/appearance/history kind of sheet.

I've never used this format before, but it's pretty popular on this website so I think I'll try it with you all. I'm thinking the personality section can be a set of bullet points, then with a small paragraph or so beneath the points to tie it all together. Appearance and history will just be the usual couple of good paragaphs to give a picture of who this character is. If you're starting ahead of time, for reference, the average (though not required) traveling clothes on Invernier is usually a big windbreaker-ish cloak and hood that covers up most of the body and makes it clear you'd like to be left alone, thanks.
