@Nymeria

Roleplays that last years are often very stagnant and have a ever changing roster OR a small group. :P
I randomly read the thingy you wrote 8 hours ago or something.

I'll write a post soon as I can. I thought that since it was Holidays in the US, things slowed down.

I have so much planned for this RP, I've got no intention of letting it die anytime soon!

I figured things would slow down this last week because of Thanksgiving. I was just browsing through the casual roleplays and noticed some that were years old. This is the first roleplay I've been in that has lasted longer than a few weeks. I'm having an impossible time trying to find other roleplays that even start.

Hahaha. It's tough. You gotta be lucky. Maintaining interest for two can be complicated - for a group of persons with different things they like or doesn't like in a Roleplay, almost impossible. You have to get lucky.

I noticed a pattern here. In the multitude of posts I've read in the IC, a lot of characters tries to outdo the others. Some posts were quite literally ignored by others, which lead to over shadowing, which lead to loss of interest and to loss of players. ^-^

I've run a RP that lasted 2 years, but with a post or two each month max. OOC was chatty, more than the IC, and all characters were kind of friends. Interest had been lost a long time ago, but we just didn't want to see it die. x)

Anyway. If you lose too many players, you might want to make it so we get to a kind of ''Second Start'' where it would be easy for new players to jump in and meet one another?

That's what I was going for before this hunt started. It was a good stopping point for people to leave if they wanted and new people to start. Unfortunately, I figure a lot of people aren't interested in a roleplay that has already started as it would be difficult to catch up. I know I tend to shy away from roleplays with more than one page in the IC when I'm looking to join.

Yep. Me too. That's why I was hesitant to join in, but I don't regret it.

What I meant is if things get very dead, you can start a whole new thread, copy past the OOC infos and start off where we left off, but as a new RP. or at the very least, start a new int check with no replies to bait in people. xD

I thought about that, too, but I wasn't sure if it was frowned upon.

@Nymeria before going gungho and making a whole new thread, ping your players m. After a few days for them to responde, put up a new interest check detailing ic events. Promise waifus (trust me) and they will join.

You've got the easy premise for new players so make use of it.

Hunter’s Name: Mikhail Lannyster
Age: 22
Appearance:

Weapon of choice:
mikhail could be considered to have three different main weapons. The first, and possibly greatest is his wolf, Brynhild. She is three feet tall at the shoulder, five feet long from snout to tail. Her claws are razor sharp, as are her teeth. Brynhild has her own set of armor that Mikhail made himself.

The second weapon was one he had to purchase. It is one of the older versions of the pistols. It has next to no accuracy, as such, Mikhail uses it for short range only.

His last weapon would be his sword. Nothing much, it is merely a hand and a half sword. Though, like his armor and Brynhild's armor, Mikhail made it himself.

Armor of choice:
Mikhail's armor, much like his sword, was made by himself. While it might not be of the best quality, it gets the job done. The armor has a steel, segmented chest plate that covers the entire abdomen. Over which is a thick jacket. Once completely red, it has faded over the years. Now mud cakes the bottom ridge and dark spots can be seen, typically with repairs to the fabric in those areas.

Strengths/Abilities:
Mikhail is an extremely talented blacksmith, however, he is also really good with animals. While not especially gifted at the sword, Mikhail can use it well enough to keep himself alive. But his true gifts come out with his ability to learn quickly and train animals.
Weaknesses/Hindrances:
Mikhail has little to no knowledge of the true nature of monsters. He also has no idea of how magic works. While it fascinates him, it also terrifies him. Secondly, despite his swiftness and agility, Mikhail lacks in raw strength and technique.
Personality:
Mikhail is usually happy-go-lucky, but that's just a front he puts up. Honestly, he prefers the company of animals to the company of people. He also has the underlying belief that if a monster can be obtained as an egg, or very young, then they can be trained like any other beast of war.
History:
Mikhail was the third son of a Blacksmith. While he learned his father's trade, he grew up knowing that none of it would go to him. Out of the three brothers, Mikhail was the best, but as tradition goes, the first born would receive his inheritance. The second brother, Darren, went into the priesthood. As such, there was nothing left for him. As soon as he came of age, Mikhail left the home that held nothing for him. Heading through the forest, the young man came across a young wolf pup. Alone and weak, he took Brynhild with him. Continuing on his way, the young wolf began to eat more food than Mikhail could provide. As such, Brynhild's training began. Several years have past since then. Mikhail had settled, for a short while, in a small village. Gaining trust with their resident blacksmith, Mikhail was able to produce his weaponry and armor. He paid for it by selling the meat he hunted, and the leatherworks he created. However, soon after, the time for him to leave came again. He had seen the flyers, heard the rumours. Monsters were appearing, and someone needed to fight them.

@Zelosse I don't plan on revamping anything just yet. It was just a thought when we lost Excal, as she was our most active member. But we still have enough active members to keep things going for now, I think. If things slow down too much, I'll let everyone know before doing anything drastic.

@Drakey Sounds good to me. You can post in the characters tab and start posting IC. All the hunters are away right now on a vampire hunting mission. If you want to post in the main city of Rothenburg, there is a guild hall that they hunters gather in. Also, there are plenty of political/noble figures in the city if you want to get involved with them in the meantime.

Rosaline is the only available noble female that isn't a teenager. She's only 20, though. But I've been itching to do something with the noble families that gets them involved with the other characters.

Goodness....maybe I should make another character for the sake of waifus. Not a hunter, just a regular lady who lives in Rothenburg. Let's get some romance in this mother.
