[OOC] Across the Great Sea - A Witcher RP (OPEN / STILL IN INTRO STAGE)

[POOHEAD189]

Sorry I've not added much to the discussion, been busy with other RPs and thinking up on my character. So to reiterate, what are people making?

[NecroKnight]

@MrDidact

I followed you here. May I join up as well in this RP?

[An Outsider]

@MrDidact That sounds good to me amigo, let's do it.

_{S'pose this means I have to start writing a CS now though. Damn.}

@POOHEAD189 Looks like I'm making a con-man werewolf! You still making a dwarf?

[MrDidact]

@POOHEAD189 Sam and I are going with a duo, young Witcher and conman werewolf.

@NecroKnight I think there's room yeah. We have missed you in the GoT RP though, the future one, not the Dance RP.

@BlackSam3091 I'll send you what I cook up for my witcher so we can collaborate on a shared history.

[NecroKnight]

@MrDidact

Great...also, the Future has kinda become a giant mess of things. I barely know what anything is happening at all - too many collabs.

[MrDidact]

@NecroKnight Well, things have been summarized many times by many different people. All of my GM posts give a pretty good overview of things.

The Kingdom of Greyreach

---

---

Long had Greyreach been a mystery to those who may call it their neighbor, having shut its borders to all but a select few nations for almost a century, supposedly due to a reform which the nation had begun to undergo as its new Queen took the throne. None can say for sure if the stories that those few who left the kingdoms as supposed refugees are true; the stories of a rising of a dark God which they were forced to worship. However, when their borders reopened in the last twenty years, the Free City of Saph found that little had truly changed in its neighbor, the most major change being the creation of the Sisters of Virtue. The Sisters were an Order of Knights loyal to the Queen or Lord they were assigned to and took a vow of chastity and poverty.

The Cult of Tibur supposedly took root during the time in which Greyreach was cut off from the rest of the world. They are said to worship a ‘Dark God’ named Tibur who descended from the Reach in the weeks after Queen Shassa took the throne. IT is said that he whispered of visions of a world united under his blood, united to worship his children in the Reach. Those who told stories of the Cult never gave a single, unified answer though. Some said he was a monster which had long been asleep in the Reach, woken by the Dwarves mining and having descended to claim his rule over the Kingdom of Greyreach. Others claimed he was a man from across the mountains, from a far away land, who used lies and trickery to make the people believe he was a God.

Summary: Greyreach is a mountainous Kingdom filled with all of the races. Ruled by Queen Shassa and her human husband, King Aidak. Supposedly worships a Cult of a dark god. Had been shut off from the world for almost a century, having recently opened in the past 20 years. During that time, the Sisters of Virtue were established to serve Queen and Country, thus allowing women to serve as Knights in battle.

I've been working on Greyreach since yesterday. This is what I've got so far. Tried to get work done on a disgraced Sister of Virtue but I got nowhere in inspiration for how to write her aside from a picture, a name, and the description.

Edit: Also posted for the GM to take a look at and see if there is anything I should change before I seriously get into writing beyond that.

[NecroKnight]

@MrDidact

Yeah....no. For somebody who has only their phone for 75% of the day - that is a LOT to read up on.

[MrDidact]

@NecroKnight Well, I'm sorry to say the onus is not on everyone else to make sure that everything is a short read. The Dance is made up of long posts as well.

[NecroKnight]

@MrDidact

Yeah...but it's easier to read up on...I guess I just let a hole develop in the Future RP and I haven't gotten to fixing it since. Sorry.

[MrDidact]

@NecroKnight It'd understandable, no need to apologize. It might help to focus on stuff related to your character first, and worry about everything later. The part of the story focused on your PC moved on, so bit of a fresh slate there.

@Fat Boy Kyle Have you got a name in mind for the capital city of La Lament? For backstory purposes.

@Mag Lev

Awesome. Once you've done the CS and stuff, and are confident there's nothing that needs adding/changing, I'll add this to the wiki

[Fat Boy Kyle]

@Fat Boy Kyle Have you got a name in mind for the capital city of La Lament? For backstory purposes.

@BlackSam3091

Nothing in mind.

Been a bit busy this week, as it's my last shift on Monday and I have lots of lose ends to tie up. After this weekend I'll have plenty of more time to get this moving forward (granted I see some sheets :P)

[NecroKnight]

@Fat Boy Kyle

Could I make a character who is part of the Church - but a reasonable warrior at that. Whom just wants the murderer found?

[POOHEAD189]

@POOHEAD189 Looks like I'm making a con-man werewolf! You still making a dwarf?

@BlackSam3091

Didn't see you say this. Yes, I am!

[DeletedUser9Gh7]

Auditions are being hosted for America's next Siri!

[POOHEAD189]

@SantosGabriel77Nice to see you both here and the pirate RP^^

[Fat Boy Kyle]

I am still alive, but this weekend has been manic. Last ever shift at work tomorrow, so my available will be opening right up. Be getting them CS sheets done and posted people!

[DeletedUser9Gh7]

Character almost set-up I think I'm gonna be a witcher.
