[OOC] World Creation - High Fantasy

[Nug Soth]

Was that abstract enough? I'm trying here, but I'm not quite sure I've got it.

[Rune_Alchemist]

I know right? Abstract is difficult....

I hope you didn't want us to create everything in one post or something, that'd be a tad bit difficult, but I plan to create more than one thing in my next post.

Also, I added two more spirits to the Volkyr's pantheon, if thats alright.

spirits

Walla - A wind spirit. She tames the winds of the desert, and keeps sandstorms at bay. Depicted as a White Volkyr with a small stature.

Zakir - Spirit of the Hunt, and Kallars Brother. Volkyr pray to him for succesful hunts and is the patron of anyone who uses a ranged weapon. Depicted as a red feathered Volkyr weilding a bow. Often hunting a Desert Mammoth.

I had fun writing my first post... Abstract is definitely difficult o.0

[Rune_Alchemist]

Its just different then what we're used too, that's all, so I think it's a good challenge~

[Melkor]

It's just less detail and in a farther third person. I'll go ahead and read the posts now.

[Melkor]

Everyone's posts look good so far and that's fine as far as being abstract goes. Mr. Pink, your post is good but you need to make the writing style more abstract and less detailed. I know that sounds weird, but that's the way that I want this done, I want it to seem like the bible of this RP world.

[Rune_Alchemist]

Ah, glad to hear I did good then. I tried to make my post sound biblicy in terms of how things were described, but I wasn't sure how well I did xD

[Melkor]

Well that's about the way to do it

[Mr_pink]

I'm not sure what you mean.

[Melkor]

The way you write is the normal, detailed third person writing style. Look at the other posts. They're less detailed and are in third person but it's further back as opposed to explaining every detail of what's happening. Writing abstractly is more like telling a story verbatim.

[Mr_pink]

Yeah I think i'm going to have to drop out. 'Verbatim' means copying word for word which doesn't really make much sense in the context and asking me to write less detailed is just absurd even out of the casual section.

[Melkor]

If that's what you want to do.

[Rune_Alchemist]

Eh, not sure why you would drop Pink, as I feel like the others and I still had good sized posts for what we did write.

I'm not sure Melkor's description is quite accurate. Have you ever seen a passage from the bible, more specifically genesis? Now, I'm not a huge bible buff or even a christian for that matter, but if you can write a bit like that, then I think you shall be fine.

[Melkor]

Rune's right, I'm bad at describing it. XD

[Melkor]

@Nug Soth: yes you could be a little more abstract, but you don't have to be its fine the way it is.

Aw :(

[Rune_Alchemist]

Hey Melkor, is there any posting restrictions on when a person can post again? Like, do I have to wait three or four posts or something? The way I have things planned out, things may be a bit lengthy with my little creation thing I have planned so I need to know if I should wrap it up in my next one or two posts or what. I'd rather not me still being creating when everyone else is off fighting a war or something xD

[Melkor]

Just space it out reasonably. Most people have posted already so you can post again.

[Melkor]

I realize that humans are not claimed so I'll have Ravien make them if no one else wants to?

[Rune_Alchemist]

And posted again. Now I'm off to bed, for I have college i the morning.

Woo.

I personally find playing humans in fantasy settings boring, but go for it. xD
