I'm fine either way you decide, but I think it would be fun to see their introduction posts too!

Okay the interest check is up

Yeah!

I'll post IC soon

I look forward to it!

Sorry, been a brutal week. I'll post tonight for sure.

It doesn't seem like the interest thread is getting much attention, so if you guys have any friends that may want to join, feel free to let them know. I spoke to Rinnee about two weeks ago and he said he'd post soon, but it doesn't seem like he's been around since. Riffus never got back to me, but I don't think he's just ignoring me because he hasn't made a post on the site in like a month. I don't think he's around anymore, which sucks because he was supposed to play as the poet.

So, some things to think about: It might just be the three of us for a while. I wish it wasn't the case, but I hope you guys are willing to press on. After the flashback posts, I'll have skeletons written up so you guys can think about the optional second character. It's still optional, but with just the three of us, it'd be a good idea to make one. Also, since Riffus is gone, someone should make a poet. If neither of you want that role, let me know. My second character will certainly be a poet if that's the case.

Thanks for sticking around.

I can try bumping the interest check so that it's not only you posting in there. I'll add this roleplay to my sig and see if anyone would want to join in the roleplays I'm in.

Don't worry, you won't be losing me. I already had plans in making a second character although I'm unsure about making a poet. Jester, do you want the poet role?

Kirra, I really appreciate the dedication you've shown toward the RP. It means a lot.

I'm gonna be givin' your poet slot a chance. Don't shoot me in the face if I don't live up to expectations though, please. I'll give'er my best shot.

Sounds good. Welcome aboard!

Haha, thanks. I've seen so many roleplays die due to inactivity and such so I make sure to give 100% to each roleplay I join and if I'm unable to do so, I won't join in the first place. Who knows, maybe one day that ideology will spread around and the same courtesy will be returned to me in one of my roleplays in the future.


Anyways, I'm about a fourth of the way done with my post but with finals tomorrow and a few paper due Thursday, my post won't be up until after then.

Hey Monkey, I'm glad to see you again. It'll be fun being in another roleplay with you. But just as a warning my character Elysia won't be sharing that same gladness as I do. She's a poet hater down to her core of her being. Later on she'll warm up to your character but probably not for a while.

Maybe I can still join?

Of course!

Hi everyone! Shall post this evening, OZ time.

I have a question. Can my character not realize he is a poet yet?

Magic was never meant to be innate, at least not on Earth, since magic was a discovery. So, the only way for humans to be poets would be to practice it.

However, you're free to create characters that are not from Earth, where it's possible that these abilities are innate. Just keep in mind we'll all be starting on Earth once everybody's flash back posts are completed.

So, yea. Totally possible.

Thanks! That is plenty to think about. Not sure about "not from Earth". o.O

I guess I am just not too clear how magic is acquired. >.< Sorry.

Since only human characters can exist on earth, I've allowed characters from other planets to be in the RP. This is to provide more freedom in character creation for those who like to RP as talking racoons. It is a little more work though, since you'll also be responsible for discussing the planet and your character's species in the flash back posts, but the opportunity is there.

Ryver et Rhine said I guess I am just not too clear how magic is acquired. >.< Sorry.

No, you're not the first to ask, so I probably haven't been clear. Since I'm allowing just about any kind of character to be created, I can't also enforce a single method of doing/acquiring magic. This RP is meant to be very loose in regards to magic. My character, for example, uses his own life force to do the fancy stuff he does. Everything that lives has life force, so I guess it is innate in that sense, but my character could have used it to do anything. He chose martial arts. In this way poets wouldn't be born poets on Earth, at least not how I visioned it.

From my own experiences, this method seems to be the popular one and the one most people tend to gravitate to, whether they realize it or not, but I don't want to impose it on you guys.

How your own character acquires/does magic is essentilly up to you. It is possible that your character could acquire magic from a different source, like an object, a god or a different plane of existence or... anything. It's up to you. If you feel like a character you're thinking about may be too radical for the RP, just run the speciics by me and I'll let you know what I think, but really the only restrictions you have are: no teleporting, time travelling or god modding.

I'm sorry I haven't gotten my post up yet. I had some shit to do with work, but I've got tomorrow off so it'll be up tonight!

Understood. No worries.

Also, just add to my last post: it's possible to have a character that can NOT do magic too. You can use crazy fancy technology. Or a stick.

You guys have a lot of options. I encourage you to explore them.
