Still OPEN, Come on in!


Welcome, Adventures to the ‘Darkness in the Light. This is a Casual High-Fantasy RP where we play a group of misfit adventures seeking our fortune and getting ourselves way in over our heads, like in the good olden days. This RP is meant to be more-or-less relaxed and while the story, lore and the like should be treated seriously, moments of levity are highly encouraged, the main purpose is to have fun.

That being said, there are a couple of Rules that should be kept in mind :
1. No God-modding
2. Be nice
3. No excessive swearing or gore
4. NO adult situations
5. 3-4 paragraphs minimum per post, please
6. Decent grammar
7. If you wish to retire, announce us please

Please take your time to read through the LORE section as it will allow you to familiarize yourself with this world. Keep in mind though that this world is continuously expanding and we are basically creating it together, what you are about to read is something of a ‘ground-work’ from where to start.



Races


The Ruling Races of Auguria









Notable Sub-Races














The Plot, where do we start?

As I mentioned in the introduction, we will be playing as a newly formed band of misfit adventurers and would-be-heroes seeking our fortune. Our characters have recently been acquainted with eachother and have been hired by a rather surreptitious Elf merchant named Timothy to assist him on an expedition in some forgotten ruins. He refused to reveal much about the exact purpose of this expedition but we were all promised a handsome reward and quite frankly we need the money and couldn’t afford to say no. Super basic stuff, yes I know, but the story will evolve from there.

Character Sheet

Appearance : Image is good, description is better, both is awesome.

Name : The name and/or nickname of your character

Title : This is your ‘class’ so to speak, something that gives us an idea of particular set of abilities your character has. Someone called ‘The Defender’, for example, would be proficient in using a shield and essentially guarding the more squishy members of our party.

Gender : Self explanatory

Age : No younger than 20, please and no older than 50 either. Regardless of race

Personality : What is your character like?

Abilities : Tied to the ‘title’, this is where you go into more detail about your character’s particular set of skills is. Be as imaginative as you like but I would like to point out that we are all simple adventurers with not a lot of experience, so no overpowered legendary skills please, do your best to keep your character balanced. Everyone hates a Marry-Sue, right?

Skills : This where you describe what your character’s skills that are unrelated to their ‘title’. Things such as cooking, singing or juggling small rodents while riverdancing and the like should be written.

Gear : Only describe what your character has on them in terms or weapons, armor and other useful gadgets and trinkets. Miscellaneous items such as food, rope, sleeping bag or cough syrup will be implied to be present according to the context of each situation. Again, we are simple adventurers, no legendary Deus-Ex-Machina-like items please.

Bio : A description of your character’s history. It can be as detailed or as brief as you like.

Other : Anything else you would like to mention?

Check the Character-tab for an example of an ordinary CS

If there are any questions with regards to anything, feel free to ask

Interested. I was thinking of making a troll that was a lackey/slave and was owned by another character, so if anybody would be okay with that, please PM me.

Unfortunately I will have to say a reluctant 'no..' to this. Please understand, Trolls in this world are little more than wild animals when it comes to intelligence and the mere idea of ATTEMPTING to tame one is ludicrous at best. Sorry

For the sake of convenience ( and to avoid just one of the many possible cliches of High-Fantasy) we will be skipping the 'bar-scene' where our group talks and negotiates with the Elf merchant Timothy and start off on our way to the ruins we are supposed to explore somewhere within the edges of the Human Kingdom in the Southern part of Auguria.

By the time I write the introductory post, it will be implied that our characters have recently been acquainted with eachother. Details like the exact location, Timothy's possible motive and Character Details will be provided post-introductory post.

EDIT : @Slingshot(and everyone else for that matter)
Please post your CS in the OOC and await an official approval by yours truly before posting in the Character Tab. I will overlook it this once since Reggie is an ACCEPTABLE character but for the rest of you, please await an official approval. Notice : @Shard's Character has been moved directly to the Character Tab because he posted it via PM for approval. The rest of you may also do that if you like, though I would prefer posts in the OOC. Just a personal preference

@rivaan
Be my guest :)

@GarlandDaHero

Normally I would reject this character on the grounds of his more-than-ordinary gear right off the bat. However, I do like the twist you applied, making 'epic' weapons and armor have quite the downside to balance out their out-of-the-ordinary quality. Also, the fact that his armor cannot be removed and his weapon tied to his being also implies that gear-wise there will be no further upgrades, which also adds to the 'balance' part of your character.

All in all? Your character's appearance is a touch too fanciful for a "starting" adventurer, but I will give it a pass. ACCEPTED

@Zamokra41

Thank you so much! I was honestly afraid that my character would be rejected, but I'm glad that I balanced him out enough to the point of being accepted!

And yes; because he's stuck with the cursed equipment as his permanent weapon and armor, he won't be getting any upgrades at all. What you see is what you get.

I'll go ahead and post him in the character tab, though! Again, thank you so much! <3

Sorry about that. How do you feel about Reggie? I'm about 10 years out from the last time I seriously roleplayed so I know I'm a bit rusty. Don't pull any punches on your critique.

@Slingshot

Already mentioned that he is ACCEPTABLE. As for critique? I am the wrong person to ask. All in all I think Reggie is pretty good, yes much of what is written is a touch on the brief side but one can understand what the character is about both personality and ability-wise and many players prefer to keep their bio extremely short and non-descriptive (or even flat out left empty) in order to reveal his backstory as we play, which I personally believe is pretty cool :)

I dunno. If you want critique, perhaps some of our other colleagues could offer some insight

Given how every character is melee oriented, I am considering changing up my character to a ranged combatant. We'll see how I go about that.
