Synopsis
MENTION ME ALWAYS OR I WILL OVERLOOK YOUR CS! IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME! MENTION ME!!!!
League of Legends is an MMO Moba-Style game, and it is what this role play is based on. You do not have to have played League of Legends in order to join this game. Everything you need to know will be in this Interest Check as well as in the OOC thread. You can refer to the League of Legends wikia for more information about characters that you feel you may be interested in role playing or ask the GM and your fellow players for suggestions. Some players may want to have the relative, lover, or companion of the character they are currently playing so there will be roles for everyone. Let me go ahead and say that you can only have ONE character starting out because I am anticipating that this game will draw a lot of attention. So one for now. If I see some long-term dedication, then I'll unlock second characters.
Setting
Runeterra is the fictional world and Valoran is its main supercontinent. There are twelve oceans with three archipelagos, and a few moons orbit the planet.
In the north, there are: Demacia, Freljord, the Howling Marsh, Ironspike Mountains, Kaladoun, Kalamanda, the Marshes of Kaladoun, Noxus, Piltover, The Great Barrier, and Zaun.
In the south, there are: Fyrone Flats, Icathia, Kumungu, Plague Jungles, Sablestone Mountains, Shurima, Tempest Falls, Urtistan, Voodoo Lands, and Yordle Land.
The surrounding lands harbor: the Guardian’s Sea, Isle of Buhru, Serpentine River, Ionia, Galrin, Hirana Monastery, Kinkou Monastery, Shon-Xan, Temple of Pallas, Temple of the Jagged Knife, Tevasa Mountain, Tuula, Zhyun, Knife Straits, The Shroud, Conqueror’s Sea, and 10 unexplored seas.
There are many lands, oceans, and seas that characters can explore in the Valoran IC. This game is heavily high fantasy with a mixture of nearly every genre. So, if you’ve made it this far, continue yon reader!
Valoran
This will be the name of the IC thread that I will create (the information is already made just not posted up). There will be a "location" system so that players won't get confused as to the location of other characters.
The League of Legends is supervised by a council of three powerful summoners known as The High Council of Equity. Each summoner has been on the council since the League’s inception. There are several Valorian city-states that the League recognizes:
- Bandle City
- Bilgewater
- Demacia
- Freljord
- Ionia
- Noxus
- Piltover
- Zaun
Within each of these city-states is a person known as the Emissary of the League, a diplomat who enacts the will of the League. The emissary is the one who will randomly summon champions to the arena. Any questions, comments, or concerns about League decisions can be brought to an emissary as long as the champion makes an appointment.
Role Play
There will be two IC threads: Valoran (Advanced Section) and The Fields of Justice (Arena Section).
In the Valoran IC thread, players will be sandboxing. They can also come up with interesting storylines to role play out with other characters/players. You will be free to explore the entirety of Runeterra as well as go on voyages to explore the unexplored seas. Be creative, but most of all, interact and make this community a fun place for all.
The Fields of Justice IC thread is where the battles will take place. Characters are randomly summoned there, but are able to continue to role play in Valoran regardless of the arena result. Champions who die in the arena are basically sent back to the Respawn Point. A more detailed explanation of the rules will be explained in the Arena IC thread. The Arena follows the same capture the flag/base principles of the game. The Arena is also where characters can take their personal gripes. They can have 1 vs 1 matches or they can have 3 vs 3. The typical battle will be 5 vs 5, and champions will be summoned there in the same manner as Queen’s Blade (Anime/Ecchi) if you ever watched it. If you haven’t seen it, no biggie, I already said that it’s random. Briefly, I will mention that the Arena will follow a XP and gold system based on word count, minion kills, and champion kills. 1 gold is acquired automatically for every post made in the arena thread. The champions start off with a chunk of change in the coin purse that they can spend on starting items. After that, you either decide to farm or fight to overwhelm the enemies’ turrets, inhibitors, and nexus. Players will be able to record their champion’s kill streak, death streak, and victories in the champion’s profile. It’s all for fun.
As people are applying to this game, be sure to reserve the character you want. Nothing is set in stone. If I don't get a detailed CS for that character by the 7th day after you've reserved him/her, then I will drop your reservation and open the character up for grabs. All good questions will be collected at the bottom of this introduction in a Q&A. All characters reserved or approved will be kept in an up-to-date list that players can refer to. ALSO at the bottom of this thread. Just because a character is reserved doesn’t mean it was approved. You should only give your hopes up if the player is approved.
Character Creation
Here is a list of champions currently in the League of Legends. Understand that this list will be updated occasionally because Riot likes to create champions monthly. This list is in ABC order according to the official site of the League of Legends franchise. If you see a champion's name highlighted in orange, then that role is reserved. If you see a champion's name slashed out and in red, that champion is taken.
Character Rules
Players cannot gender-bend the canons.
Champions are allowed to show love interest to any champion they so desire. They do not have to be bound to their lore. However, if you wish to play out their lore, you can do so.
This is a massive list of playable characters. If you wish to research more about a character, then I recommend using the official homepage of the League of Legends game and Youtube. They have the most up-to-date information versus the wikia.

[b]Role:[/b] (What is your character’s primary role in a team battle? Some characters may have multiple roles. The roles are: Support, Tank, Assassin, Mage, Marksman, and Fighter. You can find this information on the official LoL website or on mobafire.com/league-of-legends/champions)
[b]Attributes:[/b] (What is your character’s attributes? Like the champion’s role, they may have more than one. The attributes are: Pusher, Melee, Ranged, and Stealth.)

[b]Personality:[/b] (This is where you can give a summary of the champion’s personality. It will be based on your interpretation.)
[b]Friends:[/b] (You can find out who your character’s friends are on the League of Legends official website. If you do not want these characters to be your friend, then you don’t have to list them here. However, for quick character relationship building, it would be best to just go along with it. You’re just “friends.”)
• Friend's Name
• Friend's Name
• Friend's Name
[b]Rivals:[/b] (You can find out who your character’s rivals are on the League of Legends official website. Same situation with friends. If you don’t want them to be your rivals and you would rather add more rivals or use other rivals, you can do so. The rivals the website has may not be the champions who your character has beef with in game.)
• Rival's name
• Rival's name
• Rival's name
• Rival's name
[u]Special Abilities[/u]
Without going into statistics, give a description of your character’s abilities passive and active. Be sure to list them as active or passive. These abilities can better your champion’s chance of survival in a match. I will be reading over these and having you edit them so that they are adapted for Role Play purposes and not game mechanics. To go ahead and give you an idea of how I will be limiting the special powers, instead of using "time," I will have you use "turns." If this is confusing to you, then don't worry about it. As I said, I will be having you make these corrections.By now, I am sure that you noticed that I didn’t add a background to the character sheet. The reason is because you can read that information online. I didn’t want players to have to regurgitate what’s already an open source resource for anyone to read.
I encourage everyone to take that character sheet and beautify it. I gave you what you basically need in your profile. Now go crazy. Below, you will see an example profile of how it should be filled out.
Rules
1. Activity. This has been my activity policy since the first game I ever created. It is fair and gives players more than enough time. If a player goes absent without telling me his or her whereabouts, then they have 14 days from the time they last posted to get in contact with me or to just let us know of his or her whereabouts. If 14 days goes by, then the player will be NPCed. If 30 days go by, then the character sheet will be dropped from the game and the champion will be tossed back into the character selection pool.
2. Drama. Keep it to a minimum. Try to keep any personal or sensitive conversations out of the OOC. This will ensure that no player gets offended.
3. Respect. Please be respectful. If you have an issue with someone, take it to PMs or just stop interacting with that person. If you come to this game to cause a problem, then I will ask you to leave.
4. Character Limit. At this time, players are only allowed 1 character. If I have some dedicated and long-term players, then later I will allow them to create a second character. At this time though, players are only allowed 1 character to ensure that everyone gets a chance to play who they want and that not one person is monopolizing on a group.
These rules are smaller than normal but we’re all adults here (most of us). I covered most of the rules throughout this introduction.
Q&A
This will be here for commonly asked or good questions.
