Warhammer Fantasy: Morrslieb Ascendant

[Jb]

Hail and well met,

If you know anything about my RPing history on this site, then you well know what to expect from this RP; that being gritty sell-sword adventuring in the world of Warhammer Fantasy Battles. In a similar vein to "Let Loose the Dogs of War!" and Treasure Hunt by CelticSoldier, as well as games such as Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay and to an extent Dungeons and Dragons, we shall once more be delving into the world of mercenary work within the WHFB spectrum and the adventuring work of WHFRP - think Gotrek and Felix for this RP.

In this incarnation I have decided to go with a group of adventurers (think WHFRP or Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide) to take part in all manner of daring do and feats throughout the Old and New Worlds. Should this go well, I hope ultimately to make it into more than a one-shot RP, but I'm not going to get ahead of myself.

You may then be wondering where the Hell does Morrslieb come into this then? Well, it is no obscure knowledge that the 'demon moon' is a sign of bad omens, daemonic interventions and all manner of mishaps and disasters in the Warhammer world - the fact it is ascending is probably bad enough. There are other things beside, but I'd not want to spoil potential plot lines in the interest thread.

I'm looking for writers of a good standard, as well as folks who are able to think for themselves when I'm not about (including just how far you can go without dismantling the entire RP in my absence!), people who can post at least once a week/round or possibly twice.

Most WHFB races (of a lawful/neutral alignment) are allowed - no Beastmen, Skaven, sentient zombies or generally anything that would be knifed as soon as they entered a civilised settlement. In fact, as far as possible, I'd rather keep it to Men, Dwarfs and Elves (Halflings can come as well...), that going from the most common to the least common. Where such men (or women) may be from is up to the player.

So, all I can say now is thank you for reading all of that (assuming you did read it all) and, should you be interested, then pop a post up with interest, any questions you might have, and any potential character concepts you see yourself indulging in.

You've all shown interest in my past RPs that are like this, so if you're interested them here it is - if not, then no worries, no need to reply.

If anyone else is interested, or have any questions, get asking or telling.

[Jb]

@Dogematix I see you there!

[Flagg]

Interested.

[POOHEAD189]

To say I am uninterested would be a lie, herr Cool.

[Jb]

@Flagg@POOHEAD189

Ach, mein stalwarts!

Good to see you both, for what I have planned - an invested and detailed RP influenced by the WHFRP system - I shall have need of you.

@Jbcool

Good stuff. Threw together a very wip CS based on the template from one of your previous RPs. Let me know if this sort of thing works.

[Jb]

@Flagg Was going to go slightly different, but the skeleton of the character seems quite good; not sure I'd go with him having any abilities in black magic to begin with, but as for going down his own route to learn some...

[Ollumhammersong]

I might join this, but it also might be one to too many for me right now.

@Ollumhammersong

No worries good sir, although - going by your avatar anyway - it seems to be your sort of 'thing'; while I'd rather you didn't, if you really need to drop from one of my other RPs then I'd be alright with that.

I'm looking for sturdy (or more reliable) RPers for this, so you'd be welcome later on even if you don't join now.

@Jbcool

sounds good, was just tossing ideas around.

@Maxwell@Bright_Ops@DrunkasaurusRex

Three more folks who may or may not be interested, I don't know...I should probably make a nice, long, list.

[Andreyich]

I'm hoping you get the Vermintide feels of a WHFB suicide squad done well, although knowing you JB I reckon it'll be a blast.

This time I won't make any edgelord with a weird past, not some ebin special mary-sue, just the Dwarfiest Dwarf with an axe around.

[Andreyich]

Character Name: Oswalt von Kesselbrood

Race: Human

Gender: M

Age: 42

Career: Mercenary Captain

Skillsets: Expert Drinker, competent sword fighter/brawler, solid commander, secret dabbler in the dark arts.

Weapons: arming sword, dagger, flintlock pistol.

Attire: weathered leather jerkin, white shirt, dark pants and heavy, travelworn leather boots. When traveling will wear a dark leather duster, and occasionally a jaunty hat, his one concession to vanity.

Equipment/Other: dented flask, coin purse. Secretly carries a slim volume of the Odes Unsung, a Bretonnian book of necromantic lore.

Physical Description: Of average height and build, shaved bald, with pale grey eyes and a thick black mustache. Cheeks gaunt and pockmarked with scars of the plague. On the left of his mouth, his lips are notched by a nasty scar, giving him a permanent- if slight- sneer.

Mental Description/Personality: Plain spoken, gruff, with a biting sense of humor, Kesselbrood is fairly unflappable, having seen much of what the Old World can throw at a sellsword and lived to tell the tale. Kesselbrood generally plays things close to the chest and keeps his own council, not least because- as a dabbler in the black arts- he has plenty of his own secrets to keep.

Background/History: WIP

WELL STRUCK AZUMGI, JUST LIKE BALGOR AND HROTHI AT KARAK NORN

[Eisenhorn]

Well, a delayed response is still a response none the less, yes? I have some scatterbrained ideas currently, they'll become more refined over time. Probably. First in the pack of ideas is some sort of Witch Hunter style fellow, but who knows what'll stick.

[Jb]

@Eisenhorn Threads been up for 10 hours, so I'd say it's a lot less than 'delayed'. Idea sounds good though.

[Jb]

Okie dokie, @Eisenhorn@Flagg@POOHEAD189@Ollumhammersong@Andreyich, thank you all for your interest - I appreciate it!

To everyone else, or if you're interested, I'm going to be working for some time...mostly overnight...but I will be getting an OOC thread up on the 3rd; of course if anyone wants to join once it's up, that's cool too, I just like to know numbers and answer questions before I begin doing things like that.

Grazie mille!

@Jbcool

I just realized I'm going to be doing a bit of travelling the next month so I might join after the RP is started if I can't keep up with the posting speed, sorry in advance.

[Penny]

hmmmm

[POOHEAD189]

Would either a dashing Border Prince, or a take-no-shit Dwarf with a chip on his shoulder be acceptable, my friend? @Jbcool
