Once upon a time, in a Far-Away Land, there were fantastic creatures. Elves, dwarves, orcs, goblins, gnomes, centaurs, and other such things roamed the earth. And, of course, there were humans. Strong, intelligent, keen, and numerous, the various tribes quickly spread out and populated most of the known world. But they were violent and cruel, and their wanton destruction of everything around them necessitated strong outside government. The High Elves took up the mantle of responsibility, using their wisdom of age and powerful magic to coerce the humans into submission.

Unfortunately, the other races proved to be equally humanlike in their propensity for violence once they were given space to expand, and so the High Elves ended up having to rule everybody. Three of their most powerful members formed the High Council in the city of Aetherion.



The world is divided up by race into four sectors - Aetherion for the humans, Nise'corona for the elves, Fellmore for the orcs, and Khazak'run for the dwarves. Due to recent events, all routes to Fellmore have been cut off, the dwarves have begun retreating into the mountains, the wood elves have retreated into the forests, and the humans have started amassing armies.

And You, Hero, have been chosen by Sadron to investigate, and possibly save the world. You each received a personalized, hand-written letter, and all of them have requested your presence at the High Council Hill. The individual contents of each letter shall be known only to those who received them, however, and it may change your destiny - for better or worse.

It also serves as an excellent way for me to gauge your writing ability, so make it look pretty.)

Don't worry, the High Council Hill meeting won't start until everyone is accounted for. ^_^

I have a vague idea for a human or humanoid character who can shapeshift into a bear that I've been wanting to use, could that fit here? Also what sort of posting frequency are you looking for?

Could we have a list of the races and their special attributes in the OOC by chance?

I'm toying with an Orc, since they're not nearly as stupid as the typical Orc stereotype in this RP.

Edit: Also, why aren't CS' being made public...?

I couldn't agree more. But that's how our most benevolent GM wants things to happen, so who are we to question it?

From my perspective we are supposed to RP what we look like and other useful bits of information when everyone actually meets each other at the High Council Hill. Or something on the line like that.

Edit: I found the quote by @Thinslayer

Character sheets are going to be totally secret this time around. PM to me what your character looks like, what their powers & abilities are, and some pointers about their personality and background. You will introduce them in-game like you would in a proper story.

Human: =strength, =senses, =lifespan
Wood Elves: -strength, +senses, =lifespan
Dwarves: +strength, +senses, -lifespan
Orcs: +strength, -senses, =lifespan

Character sheets aren't public because I want you to describe your characters to each other upon meeting.

Daily is ideal.

Also, orc players will be in for a few surprises. ;)

It's kinda hard not to attach character names to the players. If Lord Zee posts about Tiberius Longshadow's exploits, it's rational to conclude that Tiberius is Lord Zee's character.

That doesn't help me make a character. Are you saying my char could develop that power later only if they are an orc but not have it as part of their backstory?

Sorry, that bit about orcs wasn't meant for you specifically; I just thought it would be a waste of space to make that comment separately. Also, I think I quoted the wrong post, but at the same time, I intended to reply to you. Put simply, I royally screwed up my reply, so you can ignore it.

To directly answer your original question, a shapeshifter is permissible.
