Under Deep is a pretty standard fantasy/adventure, group roleplay. There's this old, abandoned fortress sitting on this rocky outcropping that a lot of people say is haunted. People who venture to close to it often disappear and never return, and the locals tend to steer clear of it. As the story goes, it was built around a cave opening that leads to "Under Deep", commonly thought to be a 'gateway' to the Underworld, or to a great and forbidden power, though these rumors are entirely unfounded.

A recent earthquake, however, has the locals concerned. Something strange is definitely going on in the fortress, and whatever it is probably caused the earthquake. Perhaps the stories of Under Deep are true, and if they are who knows what's down there? So the roleplay will follow a group of adventurers (that's you) who make their way to NightRaven Inn (which sits not to far from the fortress). You guys will meet up here, discuss a plan, and tackle the challenge of Under Deep to uncover its mystery once and for all. The result could lead to character deaths, PvP, and other things.

As for the world, you should know that it takes place on a continent known as Omeria, and more specifically in a region known as the Heartlands, home of the Six Towers, but that's another story we won't be getting into (right now). Humans, elves, dwarves, drow, etc are all allowed. Goblins/orcs/trolls are akin to the ones found in Tolkien-fantasy and are therefore unplayable. Custom races are fine, but they must be run by me first. Magic is similar to The Elder Scrolls, but nothing to overpowered (so the greatest Mage and the greatest Warrior would probably be equal).

Name: Any names or aliases you go by.
Age/Race/Gender: For example: "28 year old human male"
Profession: Like a class, but is optional. "Warrior, Adventurer, Mage, Scholar, Mercenary".
Physical Appearance:

Armor/Clothing:
Weaponry:
Other Items: Any other possessions that do not fit under Weaponry or Armor/Clothing, such as books, trinkets, tools.

Skills/Traits: Agile, quick, clever, strong, swordsman, shield-expert, that sort of stuff; anything physical or mental.
Powers/Abilities: Any special powers or magical abilities.

Personality/Morality: Optional.
History: Optional, but I prefer it.

I'm interested in joining. I have a few questions:

Magic is similar to The Elder Scrolls <- Can you explain this as I am not familiar with Elder Scrolls.

It looks like you put up a c.s. in the interest cheque. Also I am just asking to make sure, but can we fill that out here to create a character?

Yes, you may fill out the Character Sheet here for now, and I will reserve you a spot in the OOC if this garners enough interest.

As for magic in TES, it was something that was more widespread than in other media such as Lord of the Rings. The typical beginner mage could very easily learn to cast fireballs and resurrect the dead. So there's a lot of freedom in magic. Stronger mages (and wizards) would be able to cast more fireballs in quick succession with ease, or raise whole legions the dead. In other words, magic is not entirely limited like it is in Lord of the Rings.

I'm interested, but the tavern part puts me off. The story has potential, whereas the meeting in a bar scenario is overused and, at least in my experience, leads to a quick roleplay death. This is entirely your roleplay and your decision. I would just consider if it is at all possible for characters to have already (briefly) met on the way to the fortress shortly before the roleplay begins, or something along those lines.

You guys are not necessarily 'meeting up', but if you want to plan that you may. The only refuge within miles of the fortress is NightRaven Inn, where your characters will probably be resting before they begin their journey. You guys will just happen to end up there almost the same time, and what you do from there is up to you. You may collaborate with other players and make it so you guys came there together.

I was busy today, and I'll probably be busy tomorrow. Who knew you could be so busy without a job? It's getting summertime again, which means a lot of yard work and helping fix some broken down trucks quite often. I'll have some free time, but I'm only going to post the OOC when I have time to actually sit down, think, and write it out; I don't want to rush it. Also, the IC will be the same: I ain't gonna rush it. But I'm a man with lots of free time at the moment, so expect an OOC within the next week and a half, and an IC within a week or so after that - if not sooner!
