I still don't know if my guy was accepted or not, @Polybius never responded to my CS.

Ah so should I just make a sheet and put it into the character tab without it being approved?

@Eviledd1984 Yeah, that's kinda the whole thing with jump-ins. Says it when you hover your cursor over it, even - "Players can join and begin posting IC without GM approval."

edit: but then again, she did have an outline of what was acceptable for the RP in the very first IC post. If you stick to what's here, it'll probably be alright.

Genre: Fantasy. Low-Magic. Medieval. 18+.
What is Low-Magic? Low magic means there are no D&D-esque fireball flinging wizards. There might be a Gandalf or two running around the world being mysterious, maybe even the rare enchanted artifact. Hell, elves live to be several hundred years old. Treat magic as mysterious, unknowable and rare af and it's all good!
Setting: The City of Tamberle , a.k.a the city of bridges
Info Acceptable races include: Orcs, Elves, Dwarves etc. tropes are OK , but I always encourage unique ideas. When joining, be sure to include your name and appearance. It's also ok to create new scenes in different locations, but always consider what has come before and what other players have already written. Also, don't be a dick :)

The GM has been out for a while though and we’re at a standstill.

Much to our patient frustration.

Word.

Ima say it again, I think we'd do well to just take control of the whole thing. GM has been gone for a month, at at least some of our characters have good, driving quests they can try do. Even more so if we get queeny captured or killed by Hark.

Like there's so much we can do without the GM. We just need to take control of their character

But yeah, we all seem pretty well responsible and reasonable, so I reckon collective GM effort until Poly shows up again. I don't like advocating this, but it has been a month

I don’t advocate killing off her character, but making her MIA would be best.

Frankly I had the idea that shortly after the king took on the crown there’s be a country wide coup anyways. Different lords who don’t support his ascension break off and try and defend their lands or take over enemy territory. This would easily get my orcs involved since they want to retake their ancestral homelands too and need to find support with different human lords (this is pretty much the reason why Malakaus is here in the first place) so we can easily turn this into a civil war fantasy with different characters fighting for their own side and ideals.

We can still have various noble lords and ladies if we need them too. No doubt there’s plenty of vassals worth the throne now that it’s been forcefully taken. Who knows, maybe even one of us could become the new ruler.

Let's revolt!

What do the rest of you think of my guy?

I plan on writing a post for my character soon after my discord call.

I'm still kind of super hesitant about puppeting Maren back and forth, but given that @Polybius's last sign in was actually 4 days ago and they neglected to even pop in and check up on what's going on... maybe y'all have a point.

Viva la revolution? I don't know maybe

Though not usually my character to do this, this isn’t a mutiny. We’re just trying to keep this Rp alive until Polybus either returns or we can go on without em.

I meant we'd be doing the revolution. Like.
us.
as players.

we revolt and throw Poly off of their GM throne

unless they come back of course.

I like to think of it was holding the throne until the rightful heir arrives, kinda like what’s happening in the RP right now.

In any case I do propose this for the sake of moving events along: a small timeskip of about a week, in which during that timeskip Maren vanishes. None of our characters know where she is or what happened to her except that she’s not in the country anymore and she’s not dead. At the same time various uprisings and battles breakout throughout the kingdom between various factions, which we may or may not end up being involved in.

This way we can reposition our characters into different places as it suits us. Naturally we can also make some minor lords and nobles who we could employ ourselves or each other with. I’ll likely make a few like commanding Bernard Dowson and maybe a few upstart warlords. Of course there’s other adventure to be had too, such as monster infestations and such. Bandits and deserters robbing villages and caravans, all sorts of things.

"HOW DO I LOSE AN ENTIRE PERSON?"
-Cassius, when he finds that Maren is missing as fuck

@Ladypug

For your sake I was actually thinking that perhaps in the chaos of everything going on she left you a note about her leaving, giving you your final payments as a bodyguard, and maybe a plot hook towards some sweet loot. This way Crassius as a character is no longer obligated to stay and search for Maren while Poly is MIA.

@Lucius Cypher@Ladypug

Yo I'm jumping on this. The biggest thing I have planned for Monika is the quest to find Georges, so maybe Maren's disappearance has something to do with that?

I was thinking some kind of secret order who I have ideas for but think it'd be better to reveal these as we progress (if ya need to know though, ya need to know. Can share)

Like... if she leaves a note she even disappeared in a similar way. I think that's a pretty strong connection.

@Eviledd1984

Don't wanna sound rude or anything with this! They're already in a town and Monika is inside, if ya wanna edit what ya got :)

How many active characters are there? Would anyone be able to DM me a quick overview of what is going on? I'm currently waiting on another RP to start and I'm itching to get my fingers working this dang keyboard.

I actually looked at this a few days ago and saw that the GM was gone so I passed it by.

@Arreyis

Well we got Skurr, Cassius, Dmitri, Malakaus, Jeremiah, Hark. Then the maybes are El and Yumi, I'm fairly sure El is still in though?

Haven't heard from anyone else in a while

As for what's going on...

There was a siege, this is now morning after, we, the good guys, won. Afterwards, Dmitri, Cassius, and Skurr went looking for survivors and found Monika, bringing her back to the chapel.
Meanwhile, Hark and El are doing their thing with Malakaus, also winding up near the chapel iirc
