I know I am making a posh/nobility type of character so pride would fit rather well.

So are you saying you want the green crystal? That would put your character in the Soaring Wing Tribe.

Yes, I think I will, with the character I currently have in mind it would definetely put me in the SWT. And yes I would like to be a crystalkeeper too.

Sounds good. Green crystal is now reserved.

I'll create a regular character probably. Can you talk a little about "magic" as you said in the OP? All organic beings have this "magic"?

Yes, all organic beings can use magic.

It lies dormant within humans. They must train and learn to use it (like standard wizards and such).

Beasts use it too, mostly by instinct, to enhance their normal survival mechanisms and physical prowess.

Elves are gifted in all natural elements from birth, but they can specialize in certain areas.

What exactly do you have in mind?

I reread the opening post. We’re expected 3 posts a week?

At least 2 a week, if you want to have a crystal. More if you can. Post length is not as important. There is nothing wrong with being a regular character, if you don't to post that much.

Mainly, since our stories will revolve around crystal holders, I want those writers to be responsive when others mention them in their posts.

However, as the blue crystal holder (the crystal of loneliness, if you will), you probably won't have lots of people trying to interact with your character.

I'm leaning toward the yellow crystal. Not too sure on the specifics of his personality yet besides him being soft-spoken and decisive. Still battling with myself on the arrogant part.

I'll mark you down for the yellow crystal, and don't worry too much about the arrogant part. Lean into his decisive nature. Those that disagree with his decisions are the ones that will be calling him arrogant.

Do you have a char sheet with what you wish to know of the character specifically? How much free reign will you allow us concerning our specific backgrounds. Is there anything lore wise that is fixed? For example historical events, lands, appearance ect?

Ahh. My apologies, then. This is definitely not the rp for me. I do wish you the best though! You've got a very interesting concept on the table.

I will be very flexible with all these things. When the main thread goes up in a couple days, I will answer in more detail.

@Balthazar007 I'm leaning towards someone from the poison fang tribe. I've been wanting to play some kind of snake being. Could you elaborate a little on how beastfolk use magic? Strengthening would be one aspect. Would they be able to eventually control it, like how humans do?

Yes, absolutely. But they learn spells/magic quicker if it has anything to do with their animal traits. Like, a snake person could use magic that was embude with venom. Or earth magic, if they're based on a tunneling breed of snake. Again, this is mostly up to you.

If type of magic had nothing to do with their animal traits, they can still learn it. It's just not going to come easily to them.

I'm pretty interested. Probably going for a giant foot tribe minotaur "philosopher" who's curious about the human world...

Pace & Timing

Here are the important dates to come:

Dec 2nd: The main thread for this RP goes live. I'm visiting family for a Thanksgiving, and all my responses here are from my phone. When I get back home Monday, I'll need a few days (between working and everything) to make the RP look clean and impressive. Till then, you can ask questions here and drop rough drafts of character sheets it you want. I will respond whenever I have a moment; I check in frequently.

Dec 5th: Our story will officially begin on the following Monday. I'm hoping to have a good number of characters ready to go by this time, with everyone having a clear idea of what they want to do / what they can do.

Dec 12th: Time marches on. The first week (Dec 5-11) will begin with a sunrise. All posts in that week will take place in the "morning". All posts from Dec 12th to Dec 18th will be in the "evening". Dec 19th to Dec 25th will be the "night". We won't keep track of in-world hours within this RP, only whether it is "morning", "evening", or "night".

Dec 26th to Jan 1st: Down Week. After three weeks of posts there will always be a down week, where no IC posts are allowed. This should help prevent burnout, in myself and you all. I'll still respond to OOC questions.

Jan 2nd: The next day begins. The month of January will be the following day, resuming where we left off, with the next morning. Then Jan 30th (aka the Monday that kicks off February) will start the next day.

Feb 20th to March 5th: Double Down Week. After three consecutive "days" within the RP, we will skip forward in time. This down time should be used wisely, to both recharge your writing batteries and to plan your character's next three day adventure.

Mar 6th: Let the flowers bloom. The three consecutive days we cover in December, January, and February will be in the middle of "winter" on the Sutisu and Riotifu continents and reverse (i.e. summer) for the Mutrenu continent. The three days covered in March, April, and May will be in the middle of "spring/fall" accordingly. We will follow this pattern for the entirety of the year.

Questions?

Considering an Rpers burnout is refreshing. Has this worked out in a different RP you ran?
