[OOC] Dale-Hallow Isles.

Updated Magic, And Notes!

[Zahrale]

Alrighty! this is "Option Two" from my "Choices, Choices, Choices" interest check.

This RP will be based on a DnD style system I put together but there's one very unique part about it...
The Players Wont Know their Stats.

This prevents players from forming a competitive nature over "Which Character Is Best", "Mine's Better Than Yours", or worst of all "Mine has the best stats"

So important details for this will be down below, along with some rules and expectations.

Rules:

1: No Player Infighting; I know it's a lot to ask, but please, respect each other and respect each others differences.

2: Respect The DM; This kinda' a "Duh" one. I have to put up with a lot of people in my day, and I'm not going to deal with some disrespectful "idget".

3: Consider Why some things are "Recommended", "Not Recommended", and "Dangerous". Seriously, there's "gunna" be some things on that list that you really want to consider before you pick it, but if your up to trying to die, that's all you.

Expectations:

1: Please follow the char sheet that will be provided at the end of the details, There's a lot of options and details so please, if your interested in this give it a good read before you try to make a Character. It could change your entire RP experience.

2: Due to the fact this RP has a DnD like system, you expect me to do some odd Dice roll explain post, wait for post level of nonsense. NOPE! No Dice, No Pen-and-paper, no BS. You get Stats that make you good at something, but you don't get to know what they are.

3: The only Rolls and Stats you Get to know is everyone's weapon and magical aptitude, these are the weapons and magic someone is NATURALLY good at and has a talent for, dictated by Race.

4: Some of my posts will be a bit longer or more detailed that normal for a Casual Roleplay, Don't be discouraged!!! I have to do this because there's a lot of detail that has to go into it being based on a DnD-like system.

[Infamous Empath]

Name: Luqas Marquis

Race: Human

Gender: Male

Physical Description: Cillian Murphy. Lol just kidding. 5'11", fit but not warrior-fit, and has great posture, making him appear taller than he actually is. Luqas has blue eyes, short dark brown hair, and a boyishly handsome, clean-shaven face.

Magic: Maybe?

"Class":

Inventory:
x1 Basic Steel Hammer
x1 Medium Leather Armor
x1 Basic Spellbook (Your Aptitude here, IF YOU CHOSE MAGIC!)
x2 Basic Healing Poultice
x2 Basic Stamina Potions
x2 Basic Mana Potions (Magic users only)

Bio: Luqas grew up the son of a blacksmith, so he naturally became well-versed in forging metals, specifically weapons. Despite his aptitude wielding most weapons, he was, of course, mostly comfortable with the hammer. When his father was murdered in their small town, Luqas began to forge a war-hammer for himself. However, he found that war-hammers are actually really heavy, so he chose to protect his mother and sister from brigands and robbers with a regular hammer. At 26, he joined his town's guard. He left said unit when he became 30, and joined an adventuring party to find treasure to help his dying mother. However, when he returned from one quest, he found she had died of her illness, yet to even be diagnosed. He also discovered his sister had moved from their hometown and was left with a rather cryptic message about meeting him in hell.

Gimmie vote: On principle, I dont like handouts and that's what it sounds like, so no.

[Zahrale]

@Infamous Empath Not bad, though I forgot a backstory section- Forgive me, I was rushing because my router was killing itself Rapidly.

Also its not a Handout, a "Gimmie" will have to be Earned in the end, but it's more personal because You designed it.

[Infamous Empath]

you can design mine based on my RP IC and backstory. you know, its more realistic. unless you really want me to. but you seem to have put a lot of effort into making this more original and realistic, which is why im here

[Zahrale]

@Infamous Empath Well thanks, Any time you wanna talk lore, PM me, could go for Days!

[Infamous Empath]

i almost forgot about my character background, i will get on that as soon as i can. will keep some things realistically mysterious.

i might take you up on that PM. but only if you listen to mine... :P

[Zahrale]

Sure!

[Wadesauce]

I kind of want to play a pixie, fairy, or sprite type character? Could we make that work?

[Infamous Empath]

The arts of dancing in a ballroom, calligraphy, history of the kingdom and the genealogy of the noble houses. When she came of twelve years, her father taught her his line of magic. Something she had a talent for. She went adventuring in order to bring more honor and wealth to her close family. As they are noble cousins- barring a disaster, her parents and siblings stand no chance of inheriting.

Hey, @Wadesauce, I'm Sorry but due to the Lack of a Fae Realm in this RP, Sprites and the Like are in Very Very short supply. (I even checked the races I have on my OP list)

[Infamous Empath]

Age: don't know hyphon lifespans, but the equivalent of young adult.

Physical Description: tall and lean with braided musculature. A rarity among his kind, he has charcoal colored scales with turquoise patterning. He wears various feathers and baubles, and wears long rope drawn shorts. He also dons a light leather cuirass and arm guards to prevent cuts, but not so bulky as to interrupt swimming.

-------

Let me know if it's all good.

[Zahrale]

@Wadesauce Okay, So, I'll get more details up since I have more time today, and wont be so distracted....
But it looks good so far, Make a choice as to which Item you want for the Weapon, as a Hyphon I suggest the Axe or the Spear because those weapons are the easiest to handle.

and this is kinda at Everyone, If you choose No Magic, Get rid o that spell book, I'm going to get around to the Magic today, and clearing those up.

[Wadesauce]

@zahrale I was sort of waiting to pick a weapon until I see my class so I can pick one that fits, but I'll pick one now.

As for weapon I kind of want a kopesh. If I could pick that would you consider it an axe or sword?
