Hello everyone! It's been quite a while since I've started an RP, but lately I've had a few different ideas for stories running through my head that I felt I should put out there to see if anyone's interested in them. So, without further ado, here they are. :3





Please let me know if either of these ideas appeal to you! I'd actually be more than happy to run both of them if they get enough interest! :D As always, feel free to ask me questions or make any suggestions!

I'm interested in the mage guild, I have a custom race I might use that might fit in a guild setting.

Thanks for the interest everyone! :D I'll go ahead and get working on an actual IC/OOC for the mage guild idea I had, though it might take me a few days to finish. Feel free to keep asking questions or suggesting things you'd like to see though!

@Clever Hans Yes, the guild would include necromancers. While outsiders may find the magic distasteful or even think of it as being inherently evil, the consensus among the guild leadership is that it what you use it for that matters. :3

@Lurking Shadow Sweet! I'll come up with a form sometime tonight that you can fill out and send to me so I can look it over.

@sassy1085 I'm perfectly open to the idea of running both stories if enough people are interested. :D

@OrkytheOrc Yes! :D

Here's the form to fill out if you happen to want to create a race. You can either send it to me or post it here (or in the OOC whenever that's up) for me to review. Also, feel free to let me know if you think I forgot to include a section for anything important in the form.

Do you also happen to have a Character Sheet that we (or I at least) can start preparing?

@MojaveCourier I don't have a final version yet, but here's a pretty basic one that you can fill out for now. At worst, you might have to copy and paste stuff into a prettier version when the OOC is up. :p

Sorry for the delays everyone. Some things came up that have prevented me from making as much progress on the OOC than I would have liked. I believe that I have finalized the list of magic schools, which are below with a very brief description of what it entails.



I'm also planning on including magic crafts that don't require an affinity. They are as follows.



As usual, feel free to ask me any questions you might have about any of the above. :D If you have suggestions for different names for the schools or crafts, or if you have an idea for another school or craft, feel free to send it my way so I can look it over.

So I've managed to get some more information together on the schools of magic and the different crafts.





I've also started compiling the information for the various races that I plan on including so far. I'll be updating this post as I finish more of them. Thought not explicitly mentioned in the form below, half-races are things that can exist between virtually any race. I just didn't think that they necessarily warranted their own sections. Regardless, for now, here's what I've got.



As always, feel free to ask any questions you might have about any of the above. I would also love it if you could take the time to let me know how you feel about the description for the Sanguination school of magic. In particular, I'm not sure if I gave Sanguination too many abilities because blood magic is a tricky thing to try and incorporate without letting it mimic the effects of the other schools.

I'm also not sure if the idea of the Enuri and Tosuri races really fits in this setting or if you guys would prefer to avoid beast races, so please let me know how you feel about them.

Ok so I was wondering what if my character had blood runes tattooed to his skin, could he then channel blood to the area of those tattoos to activate its effects? Also does the more blood you channel into a rune make it more powerful or would it be more effective to use multiple runes?

@OrkytheOrc I had never actually thought about carving the runes into your skin to use blood magic that way. I'm going to say that that would work, but it would consume the blood in the body and so would require being really careful. I'm thinking that channeling more blood into a rune at one time would make the effect more powerful, but it would have diminishing returns. Using multiple runes would be more efficient for the most part, although you'll still see diminishing returns as you increase the number of runes. Combining the two methods to best suit the task at hand would be the absolute most efficient way to use blood magic, however.

Also, I would love the help! I'm not exactly sure what your thoughts for the Orcs were, but I was thinking that they would generally be considered less cultured due to the fact that they place emphasis on different skills and pursuits than the other races. Kind of more along the lines of Skyrim's Orcs if that helps paint a better picture.

@TaliPaendrag

I'm cool with beast races, especially as I was going to use one I prototyped a bit from the Serpent People in Lovecraftian mythos. Anatomically they are essentially the same but I do differ on the society and culture. Still working on the character but am thinking going with an Animancer would be fun. Was wanting to do something with healing and the added bonus of animating things allows for some interesting writing. If you'd like a quick overview of the race's physiology, culture, etc let me know. They look like this and average slightly taller than the average human
