Tales of Owls and Wolves: A High Fantasy Interest Check

[vertigh0st]

@vertigh0st
Awesome, glad to see someone interested! If you'd be interested feel free to run a character idea by me!

I kind of want to run the RP with a mix of gaming, tabletop, and typical text RP. Basically there will be a multitude of problems/quests for the players to solve in whatever way they see fit. The OOC (and PMs) will be used to discuss strategy, diplomacy, etc. I don't plan on having rolling or anything like that, but I do want to try and heavily incorporate player choice.

@Famotill

Alrighty sounds fun! I’ll start thinking up some me character ideas and will hopefully have something up soon ^ ^

[Famotill]

@vertigh0st

Perfect, I can't wait! Feel free to PM me if you have any questions about lore. I didn't want to overwhelm everyone with too much lore in the interest check so I realize that there's still a ton you don't know.

Based on each player's specific character- I'll make sure they know the things their character logically would know (even if your fellow party members don't know it).

[Famotill]

Just to clarify as well- the first quest will be more heavily guided as it's necessary to get the ball rolling. Once everyone gets a feel for how it'll work, and the story wheels start churning it'll be up to everyone where to go from there.

Think of the first quest and the first few posts as a tutorial or an introduction to the world. From then on you guys will have a lot more option in how you want to do things.

Working on my character now! :D

[Famotill]

Btw, there's a really awesome playlist for fantasy music if anyone is in need of some inspiration or just wants some good study/relax music! The Playlist

[Mag Lev]

I'll express my interest in this. Seems like it'll be fun.

@Mag Lev

Awesome! Glad to have a good number of people interested in this! If you have any questions feel free to run them by me here or through PM!

[Rithy]

I think I'll cook up a character in a short bit :D

[Rithy]

I made a character sheet!

My Hider

Name: Vazheera Shadowsun
Continent of Birth: (To be decided)
Race: Dark Elf
Class: Warrior, with a touch of Rogue as she is quite sneaky!
Mage School of Foci: N/A
Starter Equipment: Two Swords, a Dagger and her Bow with arrows. A simple alchemy & poisoner kit.
Age: 67
Personality: Straightforward & Hot Blooded.
Character Traits: Skilled, Confident, Perceptive, Superior, Narrow-Minded.
Strengths: Bladesmanship, especially in 1on1 fights, and Stealth. Proficient in most types of fighting, but a master with blades and unarmed fighting.
Weakness: Keep her away from any social encounters, especially cross-cultural ones on sensitive issues!
Fears: Rats.
Brief History: Shortly after her birth, Vazheera; like many of her peers; was gifted by her parents up to the Vaiz Ze Raan, also known as "the Temple of the Bloodied Path", which was a mix between a warrior academy and death cult tasked with raising future generations of warriors for her city. Raised to be a instrument of death for the priesthood, she was taught the art of war along with her sisters by the ancient masters of the temple, eventually becoming a fully-fledged soldier.
Since then, most of her existence has revolved around her city, living mostly separated from any other race and culture short of in the form of wars & slaves. It is only recently that she has begun the steps towards gaining a leadership role despite her relative young age, where one of the requirements is that she possess worldly experience, and so therefore she choose to seek sanction to leave her society behind in order to adventure out in the world so as to later return as an eligible candidate for further elevation.

I left the continent part empty though because I didn't know a place/location for a Dark Elf settlement/city/nation that was relatively isolated from the rest of the peoples... though I guess stereotypically that's often the case with dark elves in general xD

*Gets back to the GUild and sees this* oh hells yes.... I will put up a sheet by the end of the day.

WIP Foreas character

Character

Name:
Isobel

Sex:
Female

Continent of Birth:
Carthian, in one of the forests of Vicelles

Race:
Foreas

Race Summary:
The Foreas, called Gwerin as an insult by the Elves, are a race of humanoid plants that live in ancient forests, isolated from all races. They get most of their nourishment from the sun and water and are not usually troubled by the desire for wealth or power, instead seeking to experience life to the fullest.

They are thought of as a myth by the more close-minded individuals due to their isolationism and are sometimes hunted and sold in human black markets due to the extraordinarily strong wood that makes up their bones. They can live up to thousands of years when cared for properly, but most die young due to their curious, excitable nature.

@Rithy
Loving all of these characters! The continent you're looking for is Penault! The Dark Elves live in an Enclave in the Penaultish Wilds. I still have some hashing out for the Dark Elves to do in terms of lore so if you have any ideas feel free to message me!

@GrizzTheMauler
Great! Can't wait to see what you come up with!

@Frettzo
Loving the character sheet! I'm really happy with this cast of characters so far!

[Famotill]

Really happy with the interesting amounts of diversity in character ideas! Just remember (I must sound like such a broken record) that you can always message me for help or if you are unsure about something!

I'll get to posting the "rules" of the RP here soon just so we're all on the same page, and we can talk through what we want to establish early on! I would really like everyone's input on this matter!

[Famotill]

Also, feel free to introduce yourselves. A big part of this RP will be working together to accomplish quests/save the world. Maybe start with how you got into the fantasy genre; if you have explored the genre before? Feel free to share as much or as little as you're comfy with!

I'll start:

So everyone can call me Famo. I'm kind of a huge video game (and politics) nerd, and some of my first adventures in the genre come from Legend of Zelda and Final Fantasy, but it wasn't until I got older that I started playing more RPGs. I'm currently applying to law schools (I'm 23). I'd say my favorite fantasy world is probably Thedas from Bioware's Dragon Age. DAO is one of the few games I can play over and over again without a problem. Also, I'm really excited to start this RP!

[Frettzo]

I'm fartso Frettzo, and I've been a player here since the late 2010's (yes, even before Guildfall). I think my favorite fantasy world must be Guild Wars 2's one. That's where my love for plant people first began, with the Sylvari. I'm currently also a player at Divinus, one of the oldest roleplays in the site, with the group going further back than Guildfall as well. Don't ask how we survived that mess, we just did!

I also just came back from an extended period of inactivity, stemming from having to finish my thesis and stuff. I recently finished my undergrad studies and am taking a short break to reconnect with writing.

ALSO, I recently delved into the world of tabletop RPGs. I love the experience of building a world and playing in it with other people face to face.

ALSO ALSO, I'm Venezuelan and my native language is Spanish. My biggest dream i nthe world is moving to the first world :p

[Rithy]

@Famotill I might have a few, especially after I looked at the map :D (it's totally going to go well for everyone involved)

As for me, I got involved with fantasy mostly through WOW... though nowadays it is mostly through reading, anime and ofc writing! I love me a good sci-fi or modern setting as much as the rest, though I always feel the traditional fantasy is like the good old reliable cornerstone to fall back on ^^

@Rithy

If you love CYOA (choose your own adventure) fiction, I'd recommend reading both Eternal and Necromancer on cyoaa( ithink that's the web site's name, it's been years since i visited!). They're AWESOME pieces of fiction, you'll like them, if you can tolerate a bit of dark-ishness and violence in your fantasy.

[Emma]

Hello people of the guild. I’m Emma. Games I like to play outside RP are: Sims 4, Rock Band, Harvest Moon, zoo tycoon, and tropico. I’m nerdy in the sense that I love marvel, Doctor who, Sherlock, k-dramas, and reading manga. I go to a renaissance festival every year all dressed up so I’m that person. Love European history. Big fan of mythology and folklore. I’ve been apart of this site since I was in middle school. I like a wide verity of genres, basically all of them except playing as canon, mecha, or arena fighting kind of stuff. I’m currently working in a dead end soul sucking job. I’m contemplating going back to school (for the fourth time). I’m also 23, and working on my CS for this RP.

[Bishop]

Oh please please please you gotta let me in. Can I use some elements from different classes? Like different spells from different classes of school and maybe have 1 or 2 fighting styles, 1 with swords and 1 hand to hand?

So basically to know some force magic(push,pull,choke...), some lightning(from fingertips only), some vague prophetic powers(guidance seems close enough), some illusion(suggestion, calm, fear)

And for fighting styles I was thinking dual lightsaber wielding berserker and if hand to hand some form of combat that is brute focusing in heavy strike or grabs that lead to finishing moves.

I'm going somewhere with this..

[Rithy]

, if you can tolerate a bit of dark-ishness and violence in your fantasy.

@Frettzo

Given that I picked a Dark Elf warrior for this RP, I believe that is a given xD

I'll try to hold back on the obligatory BDSM part tho!
