[OOC] The Faraway Land

[rush99999]

Ah, I see.

[Thinslayer]

Something still seems really off about how the camping scene is playing out. I can't quite put my finger on it. It seems almost...boring. Ugh, I can't wait to get the conflict kicked off.

@Thinslayer

I vaguely remember you saying that we're allowed to shape this world's lore as we see fit so long as it doesn't conflict with any lore that hasn't already been established. Did you actually say this, or is my mind just messing with me?

@rush99999

It's definitely something I've said before, no question. Whether I said it in the context of this RP is more debatable. If not...well, guess I'd better say it then!

Anyone may shape the world's lore so long as it doesn't conflict with other established lore or substantially change the main story. ^_^

[Lord Zee]

Would an example of that be the stories that you do with the captain? Cause if we can do like other stories that'd be cool.

IT'S WORLD BUILDING TIME!

@Lord Zee

Absolutely! We're in The Faraway Land, the place where fairy tales came from. There can't NOT be weird and awesome stories going on around here. I've already got talking wolves and demon invasions slated, so knock yourself out! :P

[rush99999]

@Thinslayer

Have you established a pantheon of gods for this world yet?

[Lord Zee]

I'll have to cook something up here, stay tuned!

@rush99999

That's a subject I'm kind of touchy on. I don't mind characters believing in other gods so long as they're not established as real in-game. For example, if you decided that a character believes in the Goddess Hylia (from Zelda), you can't have her come down and say things to a character, grant him powers, or stuff like that. Religion is a key aspect of human life, so there's no point in pretending otherwise.

Um...Thats not a wish so much as a years wait to see if you work or if your prenuptial agreement holds any water.

You forgot to quote the post you're replying to.

@Thinslayer

Do you have a name in mind for the continent this RP takes place on?

@rush99999

The Faraway Land. :P

More seriously, the setting is on an extraterrestrial world that was colonized by Earthlings and then left alone to its own devices. Why they're not more advanced is a long story. To summarize it, a HUGE demon invasion pretty much wiped all civilization off the map. Together with the Guardians that suddenly appeared, the fledgling races were able to repel them, but by then, it was too late - the damage was done. It's been a few thousand years since that climactic battle, and the races are still struggling to regain their footing in the world.

It was called Crescent Prime by its settlers, named after the ancient Fertile Crescent from real world history. People call it "The Crescent" or just "Prime."

[rush99999]

So this is secretly a sci-fi RP?

Holy shit, that's amazing.

@rush99999

I suppose you could look at it that way. :P

[rush99999]

@Thinslayer

So the continent is called Crescent Prime, but what about the planet itself? Has a name for it already been established, or is the honor of naming it still up for grabs?

@rush99999

The planet name is actually Crescent Prime, but a few thousand years of isolation on the one continent kinda changed how the words were used. People now call the continent "The Crescent" and just call the planet "earth."
