(ignore, bad double post was here or something)

@Crusader Lord I like the idea of a race working towards a divine goal (in their eyes at least), like, when mages work for thousands of years to find immortality, but these guys working on mastering their own innate abilities. Certainly a cool concept idea, though definitely tied to magic in my opinion, even if it's innate. It might be a fun thing for them to figure out ocne they come into contact with a lot of magic.

Which brings me to what @Ascendant is saying. Magic is soemthing that exists in faint patches across the entire world right now. So most races haven't even seen anything remotely related to magic, except for our fairies of course, who might've been created by some weird magical event. This WILL change as the RP goes on (Witcher anyone?) and then magic will become a very real option for anyone who dares use it. I really doN't want to spoil much, I have a fun idea for magic that will be interesting for you all to explore, but the gist of it is that it exists in trace amounts rn.

@6slyboy6 Well...gotcha. So no peeps who don't use magic either, but just jet out magical energy if dey get spooked?

@Crusader Lord I mean, the idea of changing based on emotional state could be something even if the ability is innately magical. It doesn't have to be a strong magical energy, and certainly emotions would count as such for a magical being. But they would probably also trigger if they encountered a strong soruce of magic (like our fey race)

@6slyboy6 I like that idea for magic. I think it would be a good idea to not go so heavy handed with the magic as I believe most of us did not build around a magic mechanic. I like the idea that it may be discoverable later after some development, but wouldn’t be so readily available.

I definitely am not intending to use magic at any point in the game.

Time to work ont his badboy. Seems like I won't be sleeping tonight either

@6slyboy6 You're in the +2 timezone right?

I never hecking know what it is ebcause of the daylight saving and all that stupidity, but it's 12:40 AM here right now (0:40 AM). I think so, but nobody knows! Timezones, how do they work!?

@6slyboy6 Huh, I expected it to be GMT+2 but it's actually just 1. The night is young then!

That’s early. That being said I’m over here at 16:11, so I shouldn’t be saying anything.

now i kinda want to know where people's general vicinity is, but privacy.

I don't think I have to worry about any of you guys doxxing me, lol. I'm in the Netherlands.

Well, this is a very WIP IC post haha, I can't promise that the layout of everything will stay the same, and since there wasn't much happening I had a hard time coming up with something to write. But beleive me once we get some wind under our sails this will quickly blow up to be 10-15k characters per GM posts

@jimapple Help a brother out and put your sheet into the CS section here so I don't have to look around for 10 minutes to see who's not on the list X3

And for that you'll have to explore or look at the unlabeled map with only colors that I gave you before ^^

@Crusader Lord Still time to make your race and post the sheet. I'd be glad to see you joining us!

@Tal I'll send you your map in just a minute!

We should wait until you're done with the opening, right?

@Ascendant Mmmm, what do you mean? The first IC is up, the gates are wide open, the keyboards are all warmed up! Now is the time to begin writing to your heart's content and begin this epic journey :D

And also a quick reminder for everyone, don't forget that this is a joint worldbulding as well as an RP. The map is a suggestion, my words are an advice, and the words you read a guidance. But whatever it is, you are all the painters of an empty canvas waiting to be filled up with your ideas. As you can see, I haven't named anything or marked them on the map (except for the highest peak), because it's all waiting for you to come up with. See that mountain right there? No? Then why don't you come up with it? Name it, argue with your neighbours about why your name for it is better, and then go to war to show them you were right all along

Makes sens3, and thats a prettty cool way to go about it! Wait...is that an approval of my first idea under those conditions?! O_o

(On break and rushing to type this, so please fprg9ve any typos and odd lookin rushy stuff ^^;)

@Crusader Lord Yes, I will fprg9ve your typos and weird stuff

And yes, take it as an approval for your idea under the conditions I mentioned. And alos give me a pointer at where you want your race to be so I can provide a map for you.

I hope you all find my post somewhat entertaining, and I hope I did the NRP format some justice, but this is my first NRP, so I'm expecting to royally mess things up before it starts going better, lol.

Your post is good.
