Hi, there. I'm Crumbs. Thanks for stopping by. I decided, earlier, that I wanted to do something that I don't usually try to do. That's high-fantasy. A medieval setting with magic being common. So, I started writing up ideas and finally settled on what I'm calling the "Moonscratch Chronicle". I'm breaking it up into Cycles, in an attempt to make this something of an episodic affair, with Cycle One introducing our primary cast and delving into the first major plot of what could be a long-lasting series of RPs. Below is a flavor intro. Below that will be some more stuff, said by me.



Alright, so, there's that. I'm setting us up to start off in the city of Vaald, capital city of Delad, a nation situated on the world of Aedrasil. I've not written out a whole lot of information on things, but I don't plan on excluding any fantasy races (the standard ones, anyway) and I'm willing to work with people for custom races. I mentioned the Ewori. I'll have a small bit up for them, later.

For now, I'm just poking out some tendrils to see if anyone is interested in anything like this. Which will have magic, swords, a god of chaos' mask being made whole once more, spacefarers stranded on Aedrasil, former heroes losing themselves to darkness, and just what the Moonscratch is.

I'm looking for a small group of people, maybe three to four, who are willing to communicate and create with one another; I expect two paragraphs out of a post, per character that you play, which isn't much. Mind you, that's the minimum.






Forgive my brevity, as I believe some concepts don't need an explanation. Or, rather, I've got a lot that I'm going to have to write out; if this takes off.

I will answer any questions, however.

Here is a link to the OOC

My jaw is agape, right now. I have never had anyone express interest so quickly.

Thank you so much!

Oh, and welcome aboard!

Why do you colour most of what you type green?

Honest answer? Because I've decided to always choose a color for my OOC chatter, when I make an account. On other sites, places I haunted before I came here, I used plum or deep pink. It's usually based on my mood, at the time.

Plus...it's a neat gimmick!

It looks interesting!

But I'm not really certain about the setting's infrastructure, what is aedrasil (ae being the prefix for aether or aesir, denoting a celestial-like plane. drasil, the suffix for tree or plant)? I'd like to know more about it and what this roleplay is really about!

Aedrasil is the name used for the mundane world (I should say 'plane'), by Origin and mortals. The naming convention does have relevance, but that's something I wasn't going to get into immediately. Above Aedrasil is Eternity, which serves as the home for Origin...when she exists. Which is when the realm exists. Below Aedrasil is the Void, which envelops everything when Eternity does not exist; isolating Aedrasil. The Order Sequential (the gods, I'm about to post information on them) exists within the Void and has created several 'realities' within the Void.

What this roleplay is really about is the betrayal of Origin and the effects that it has had on what Aedrasil is...and how our characters are going to get tangled up in something that goes well beyond their scope of the world, as they know it. Kanys will be there, too.

I hope that helps, in some way. If I completely missed the mark on that, let me know and I'll do what I can to answer your question more concisely.

Thanks, also, for saying it looks interesting! I hope I can get you on board. ^^

Edit: Added some info terms in the first post.

Would I be correct in guessing that Isyph isn't a human?

Well, in part. I was thinking that Isyph would be a Half-Fey, (Satyr, probably) something I'm gonna call an Uquii. Smaller and weaker than an average human (in her case, anyway), but lithe and nimble; I'll be giving some other indication of her variant nature, though I haven't decided what. Al-Delad would be an adopted name, given that she was a child tended to by adoptive human parents. It would be a name reserved for people of uncertain parentage, exiles or those who have had their family name stripped. At least in Delad, its self. Other places would probably have other customs for that kind of thing.

She'll be a Thief, as hinted at in her part of the flavor intro. (I'm capitalizing Class names...for some reason.)

What a coincidence, I plan on making a Thief character too. (I capitalise Class names as well, it's nothing to be ashamed of.)

Ooooh, do tell. I'm curious as to what you've got in mind. ^^

I'm writing up more stuff. I'm not sure how useful some of it will be.

Edit: Added some stuff about Delad.

Second Edit: Feel free to add your own stuff, too, people reading this.

@Crumbs I see! It makes a bit more sense now. Will we all be playing Moonscratched?

I can't guarantee I'll be able to join (I'm not sure but perhaps I'm seeing a trend of good interest checks coming to a halt lately, so I've become a bit more wary about which I say I'll join) but if I do, I see the concept of a Guildless Magician whose grim studies lead him to attending the Lunar Festival - and perhaps investigating the mysteries of the cursed Moonscratched ones. :).

This update: I saw this! "spacefarers stranded on Aedrasil" o_O!!! What is this? I get to be an alien!? If so ...let me know!

I've never roleplayed an alien before, this could be XD.

His real name is a secret he guards very closely, but he's known as Dodger by his associates and The Green Amnesia by the law. Dodger received his title because he wears mainly green clothing and for a 2nd reason that I'll get to in a moment.

By now I'm sure you've realised that Dodger is a very successful Thief to have gained a title. This is because he is quite talented in certain forms of magic, possessing skill in invisibility and teleportation spells, and it's even said that he can halt the passage of time for a brief duration and is able to access a pocket dimension to store his stolen goods. On top of his magical abilities, Dodger's success can also be attributed to the 2nd reason why he's called The Green Amnesia. That reason is that nobody can ever remember what Dodger looks like aside from the fact that he wears green, even when the people who saw him got an exceptionally good look at him. The moment someone looks away from Dodger, the details of his appearance quickly fade from their mind.

On top of being a skilled Thief, Dodger is also a shameless flirt with the lecherous, girl-hungry disposition to match. So if Uquii females happen to be pleasing to the eye, you can bet your boots that Isyph will be getting a lot of attention from Dodger.

I'm leaving that up to the individuals. I figure not everyone would want to play a character with a drawback like that. There will certainly be Moonscratched enemies and the Moonscratch (its origin and the like) will be involved, as well. I'll most likely make a Moonscratched after I make a CS for Isyph.

It blows that you're not totally down to join, right now; but that's fine, given your concerns. I'll try my best to make sure that this comes to fruition...because I like the idea, a bit, now that I'm really getting into thinking some of it through. I like your character concept and it'd be pretty cool to see in motion.

Thanks for taking time to read and reply and all that. I hope you decide to join, at some point! ^^

Hahaha, I'm loving him already. This should be interesting. Isyph may have heard a couple of rumors about this fellow.
