Court of Mythical Creatures (STILL NEEDS PEOPLE)

[Raging Fenrir]

OOC

So, I've been toying with this idea that I think is finally coming to fruition. If there's enough interest for it I'll fully develop it into a full RP.

Various noble families have been invited to send a single heir to an ongoing banquet to prove their worth to the emperor. The catch? These aren't human aristocrats, but mythical creature aristocrats. Dragons, griffins, hydras, basilisks, and all that good stuff. In this world, mythical creatures can disguise themselves as humans and live among human society. So, they'll have a human form and a mythic form. It is considered poor form to flaunt a mythic form in court, so aristocratic interactions are conducted as humans. However, the emperor will pose several challenges over the course of the banquet. These challenges will take them outside of the banquet hall to strange and dangerous lands where they will be free to unleash their mythic powers. The prize? Luck. The emperor has the ability to distribute good or ill fortune among the noble families, so by performing well they will secure their family's future prosperity. The banquet hall is a place for the heirs to forge rivalries and alliances, connive and sabotage, or even flirt and romance if they so desire. The challenges will be diverse and exciting to spice things up.

That's the gist of it. Let me know what you think and if you have any questions. Also let me know if you're interested in Co-GMing.

Im very interested in this.

[UltraCraftGames]

Could i play as a beholder.

[baraquiel]

interested as well!

[Raging Fenrir]

@UltraCraftGamesA beholder would be acceptable, but I'd definitely have to nerf it's abilities.

[kalanggam]

I'm interested in this! I'll be watching for the OOC. :-)

[Raging Fenrir]

@kalanggamGlad to have you! Hopefully we'll get a lot of interest since this will really work best with lots of players.

[Rodiak]

This sounds really interesting! Count me in

@UltraCraftGames

Well, they just have an awful lot of different eye rays, and a lot of them are just too powerful. Like, death ray is definitely out. I would say maybe change the bulk of them to generic lasers, keep the telekinesis ray, and maybe pick one additional effects out of paralyze, fear, slow, and sleep. The antimagic cone is okay.

[UltraCraftGames]

I think maybe something like this one ray is telekinisis second is paralyze third is ice and the other 7 are generic

[Raging Fenrir]

@UltraCraftGamesThat would probably be fine.

[UltraCraftGames]

When will the ooc be out.

[Raging Fenrir]

When will the ooc be out.

@UltraCraftGames

I'll start working on it once we have at least 6 people interested.

I'm interested. I have a Lich character I've been itching to use.

@Product

A lich would be iffy as they're on the borderline of what I would consider a mythic creature. What kind of lore were you thinking of for a lich?

[kalanggam]

@Raging Fenrir I'm considering creating a character based off a Filipino myth, the 'tawong lipod' (lit. wind people). The gist is that they are youthful-appearing, pale-skinned sylphs with the power of flight and wind magic who serve the moon deity. Would it fit within the scope of this?

[Raging Fenrir]

@kalanggamThey seem a bit more humanoid than what I'm going for here. It doesn't have to be strictly western, but they should be more creature than man, otherwise the whole having a human form thing is kinda underwhelming.

[kalanggam]

@Raging Fenrir Then in that case, maybe the minokawa? It's basically a giant dragon-bird, rumored to be almost the size of a small island.

[Raging Fenrir]

@kalanggamThat seems acceptable, though you'd have to scale down the size quite a bit. Being as large as an island is a bit beyond the scope of power for this RP. I would say this dragon is the maximum I'll allow in terms of size, so you could be one that big.
