Hey, I found a minor error on the intro. It's nothing obnoxious but I just thought you'd like to know.

This is grand (the setting, not the error).

I'll be confirming my interest in this. Have a character, now just need to add things from the completed lore and such. I'll be messaging you regarding some queries I have about the lore, if it is not too much trouble - as they are essential for the story of my character.

@oddsbod Hey dude, I've just started on the history and I've decided to present it in an epistolary format. So I need to know what the calendar looks like, day, month, and season-wise, for some sort of diary entry. Thanks.

Sure thing, here's the timeline from my notes (working on a response to your PM now, btw). The calendar is otherwise a normal Earth calendar, Januray through December:

@Oddsbod I was hoping for, like, the names of the days of the week, the names of the months, that sort of thing. But all that worldbuilding is cool too, thanks! :P

Oh haha, whoops, sorry, misread. Yeah, I just edited it in, but Invernier uses the same calendar as Earth.

@Riaxh Sounds good, I'll let you know if anything opens up!

@Oddsbod


I have absolutely no idea, to be perfectly honest. I'd been roughly basing the areas based on the nations featured in their corresponding plays, so I imagine there might be some languages similar to Italian, English, Arabic, and Serbo-Croatian floating around. I think we can just say there's a Common Language everyone speaks, then maybe a handful of Ambiguously Defined Languages for different cultural groups, then Ambiguously Defined Ancient Languages for old ruins and such. Might come up with some random names at some point. I don't think there'd be any parallels to real world languages though, beside just English as the base languge.

@Oddsbod I'm thinking about a huntsman who eschews bow and arrow for traps using magical charms to hunt abnormal and strange magical creatures. Would that fly?

Also, can half-elves and half-goblins exist in this world?

You might be best off making up something with @Oddsbod's permission, like old tongue or auld lang, or some cool name for it. Latin would seem out of place in this world, which seems to have nothing to do with earth.

Also, here's my character submission.

I think a woodsperson/trapper would be a neat idea, yeah, going into that survivalist territory. Charms for trapping monsters would also work out, sure.

For your second question, yes, they can, and while a goblin/human would raise some but not that much prejudice, a half-elf would probably be treated as some kind of freaky changeling-child by most Invernish. That said, due to a combination of my past experiences with half-X players and my personal experiences with mixed heritage, I will have some very, very high standards if anyone wants to make one for a character. Basically, if someone can come up with something interesting where removing the half-elf or half-goblin side of the character would significantly impact their identity, I met let one of these characters in.

@wxps350 Selfish opportunist, seems cool. I like his set up too, actually bouncing carelessly between the two factions, should make for some fun relationships with any other Army/Legion characters. Comparing caring for living parents to keeping old graves tended is a nice look into his mindset as well, that was a cool touch.

Some things I'm not super clear on with the history. Why was he not allowed to actually see his parents? Who was raising him, if his parents were so sick? Did they raise her when he was young, then fall sick? If he couldn't keep a cent of the money he earned, how did he afford basic living?

On the later living, why was there a soldier garrison just hanging out at the edge of town? You mentioned Forbhin and his mentor didn't join the Army of Heroes until the war broke out, but any trained party of soldiers would probably be working under the Army.

You mentioned they eventually switched sides to the Legion, but after a battle where the Legion crushed Army forces, Forbhin ends up stealing an Army insignia and pretending to be in the Army, and labels his master as a Legion soldier. I'm not sure why there're Army of Heroes soldiers cleaning up the leftover of a big fight if they were the ones who were massacred. I'd also like to see a bit more on why they jumped ship to the Legion.

You'll also need the short personality description to go with the bullet points.

Otherwise, I like where this character is going, seems like a lot of fun to write, and bounce off of other characters with.

He did ping a lot of people when he posted it, must have missed a name or two. There were a LOT of people who showed interest.

When I get home from work I'm gonna PM you a couple of ideas for my character. The main focus is of course going to be the hedgewitch healer plus familiar.

When it comes to race, magic, and other things I wanna run it by you to fit the setting as much as possible, as well as provide a unique character that has his own specific role to fill that nobody else quite can.

@FrozenEcstasy Whoops, sorry about that. I'll go back over the Interest Check and make sure I didn't miss anyone else.

Sounds good. Sorry about not pinging you earlier, it's kinda been chaos on my end responding to all the PMs and getting to work on things. I'll skim back over the Interest Check thread again to make sure I didn't miss anyone else.

What season are we in, too? Month? (She's a forager and a gardener, so I need to know what kinds of herbs and vegetables she's eating this time of year ;))
