Hi, so I'm just trying something here by posting an interest check. Simply put this RP already exists, and you can check out the OP here. It's a high fantasy style world with magic and mythical creatures, but we built it from the ground up with much more complexity than just a carbon copy LoTR world. That being said there's no cities of elves and dwarves, but that doesn't mean they don't exist in the world and who you want to play as is largely unrestricted so long as it's fair.

While the RP is always open to new players, recently a fair number of our characters have dropped off the map and those of us that are left are looking for some new faces :). There are currently two groups, both of which have their own plotline and story planned out. These stories have only just begun though, and there's room for new characters in both. The pacing for posting is casual, so there's not a lot of pressure to keep up and we value quality over quantity. If you have any questions about the RP itself or what sort of character you might want to make I'll be checking back on this thread, or you can PM me

What's the current plot so far and how will the new players be introduced into the plot?

I see that there are 86 IC posts and as much as I'd like to, I think it's going to take too much effort to read through them all without missing a detail or many.

New players can be introduced by having them be in a position to interact with either group, be that some sort of conflict or convinent running into, the method easier to discuss with a character already in mind.

The first group is currently at the South most Falken farming village, a short ways outside the Capitol. All involved members are travelling East, but with the bridge gone that means going around the Lake of Reflection. There's safety in numbers so for the time being they're traveling together.

The second group are on their way to and should soon be at the Twilight Fields. The leaders of the party are from Tour de Rouge, on a mission to find the person or persons involved in the assassination of the Choir's former leader. They're accepting any help they can get with promise of substantial payment for helping to bring in those responsible.

There's much more to each plot line but that's the basic outline of why each group is going where. Again it's easier to conceive a way to insert new characters after we already have an idea on who they are or what they may be up to, and myself and the other GM personally work with each application to help bring it together

Excellent!

We've still got space available; we've had a few people show interest but no applications yet. I'll still keep an eye on this thread if anyone has any other questions but otherwise this will be my last post in this interest check

Color me interested, but unsure yet as to what I might want to play.

I tend to stick with rogues, and the like for fantasy fare, but if that role is a bit overdone, I'm not above making a new character.

I took a peek at the beginning of the IC, I admit I'm a bit of of practice bit it was a bit hard to follow, did things settle once everyone got into their roles? It's been awhile since I've had a good old fashioned fantasy RP to play about in.

@LittleFae

Things have settled a little now that everyone is on the move and have people to interact with but we've only completed day 1. We lost a few people from the opening page as well, so right now there's 4 (maybe 5 but they won't reply to my PM) active writers, myself included.

Remember that when creating your character there's no guidelines you need to strictly adhere to. So long as they seem like someone who could actually exist in the story, and aren't grossly overpowered, we're pretty lax about design so long as it's thought out :)

@bobert778, I'll send a PM your way of a character that I tend to main that might work for this. Let you see whether you think she'll fit in, and if she does, see about having you fill me in a bit on the IC and work out a way to introduce her.
