[OOC] Warhammer Fantasy: The Guild of Esteemed Sellswords - An adventure in the Warhammer Fantasy world! [REBOOTED] [FULL]

[Jb]

If you're a fan of WHFB and that picture doesn't grab you, well, then I don't know what will!

For those that need a little move convincing, allow me to ask this; do you like Gotrek & Felix? Do you like adventures to 'exotic' locales - scorching Khemri, the oppressive but lush jungles of Lustria, or the frigid frozen northlands of Norsca perhaps? - is the idea of RPing a member of a small-to-medium sized band of adventurers, vagabonds and sellswords through the fantadtical horros of the (now exploded) world of Warhammer Fantasy to your liking?

If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, then I shall assume your interest and ask you to read on.

So, displeased with the inactivity of Games Workshop IP role-plays on this site, and frankly itching to start one in their now defunct but fertile setting, I decided to go ahead and do just that.

As I have said, the player (you) will be taking the part of a character who is a 'signed-up' member of The Guild of Esteemed Sellswords! You may or may not know one another, possibly never even met, but at this point in your life you find yourself somewhat short of coin, maybe a little bored with life, and have decided to make your way to one of the Guilds regular meeting and recruiting spots - a cosy little place, an inn to be exact, near Rottfurt in the Reikwald forest.

I'll be allowing members of any race that won't get lynched or otherwise murdered in an Imperial city and putting a definite limit on magic users, as they often seem to complicate things.

Numbers will also be limited, but I will be looking for quality over first-come-first-served in the case of this RP; I intend to to make it a homage to the World That Was Lost, a world I grew quite fond of, as well as a fun and hopefully continuous experience for those that intend to join.

Thank you.

@Blueskin@Lucian@Dusty@Drinky@Andreyich@POOHEAD189@Laduguer

If you're still up for carrying this on, I'm going to begin it where we left off; feel free to copy & paste your profiles from the last incarnation (roleplayerguild.com/topics/170157-war…)

If anyone else wants to join, and you can, then just send me a PM with your Character Sheet and I shall find a way to get you into the RP as quickly as possible.

Any questions, nae worries.

[MegaOscarPwn]

I'm interested! Should I first make my character and then join the Discord, or can I just hop right in? I should let you know that my knowledge on Warhammer Fantasy is a tad basic, but I hope to learn from you all!
@Jbcool

[Jaredthefox92]

I would like to participate, perhaps as a member of a race that isn't human. However, my character will be made to cooperate with one another. I would like to know the races that are available for this. Dwarf, Vampire, Lizardman, high elf? What would be fine for this?

[Jb]

@MegaOscarPwn Feel free to join the Discord as you like, ask questions even, and write your Character Sheet at your leisure. We'll help you with any bumps in lore you may have, nae bother.

[Jb]

@Jaredthefox92 Men primarily and preferred, although we did have 2-3 Dwarfs and on High Elf. Any of those are fine, though I'd err on the side of Men and Dwarf, Elves being pretty alien really.

@Jbcool

I guess I'm out then, I wanted to be some sort of mercenary like creature, maybe a Skaven who split from the pack or a Lizardman or something. That, or a vampire who died someplace away from Sylvania and probably has a reason for fighting for a group of not undead.

[MegaOscarPwn]

Well, the Discord link it's fugged!

[Jaredthefox92]

Well, the Discord link it's fugged!

@MegaOscarPwn

Seconded.

[Lucian]

Consider me re-interested. Imma' recycle Galadred

[Jaredthefox92]

Okay, I'm going to try to be nice and give this another go. I have some ideas of potential characters I could perhaps be.

.A witchhunter

.A wood elf Waywatcher (archer)

.A wood elf swordsman

.An Imperial soldier.

.A Bretonnian knight

Would any of these work?

[Penny]

I'm interested. I'm thinking of a barber surgeon who has become a devotee of Morr, or a disgraced wizard who works as a healer.

[BangoSkank]

I'm interested in joining as a Halfling Fieldwarden turned Ranger, he's also a cook. A brilliant well learned master of hauture cuisinery, in his own mind at least. I'm working on a character sheet.

[ClocktowerEchos]

Might as well chuck in my interesting since I'm already making a backstory; basically a cynical Bretonnian knight who forgot his vows and is trying to subtly find a way to go die in combat or something like that.

Wippy just for later use

Character Name: Loheir the Lost

Race/Species:

Gender:

Age:

Career (if any) and Skills:

Weapons:

Attire:
Looking at him, no one would suspect Loheir a Bretonnian knight until he opened his mouth. His armor is a motly amalgamation of crude plates taken from beastmen and orks, forced into something resemble proper armor over a chainmail tunic. His long boots and his gauntlets are but tough leather with metal plates sewn on top and nothing of his heldrary remains, not that Loheir would want any of it to be seen.

Equipment/Other

Physical Description (as detailed as possible please, pictures not accepted.):

Mental Description/Personality:

Background/History:

Never a particular zealous scion, Loheir grew up cynical and distant with just enough of the Bretonnian traditions of honor and chivalry to not be led astray. The youngest of four brothers and the second youngest of seven total siblings, Loheir was never going to inherant anything of value and would begin to see himself more of a warrior than a lord. While his brothers were taught managing realms and reading classics, Loheir trained against dummies and partners. While his siblings attended feasts, Loheir went on hunting trips and expiditions against the orks. Despite his youth, he was the first of his generation to become a Knight of the Realm but was the last to take up the Questing Oath.

With his great sword and horse, he set off into distant lands to fight for the name of the Lady but his lack of devotion and zeal meant she would never appear. He travelled far from his home, so far that many thought he had died on some nameless battlefield or slain in his sleep. They didn't care, there were other scions to attend to and he was just the youngest. Loheir had indeed survived and had fought his way into the Empire, caring less and less about his holy duty and more about the simple act of fighting and surviving. Every day he lost sight of the light of the Lady, and everyday he wandered farther from his home until he saw it no longer.

It would be at the village of Holoheim which Loheir would first make a true name for himself. The village was beset by constant beastmen raiders and was in desperate need of defenders. But their pleeds for help had gone unanswered by the local lords and no mercenaries were will to die for such a pathetic hamlet. Deciding that he would preform at least one chivalrous act in the increasingly less hopeful quest, Loheir entered the village and drove back one such raid. His superior arms and armors, the few things bequeethed to him by his family, allowed him to cut through the cloven ones with eaise and he drove them back. But instead of praise, all he recieved was a cold bed and colder stares for the villagers despised having to rely on a foreign Bretonnian to save them.

Time and time again, Loheir would come to the villags' rescue, each time returning to the inn with less of himself. First he lost his helm, knocked off and crushed under hooves. Next was his heraldry, ripped off during a brawl. His horse came next, blocking an axe with its body meant for Loheir. After that was his armor, which had been worn down and ripped apart over a dozen fights and skirmishes. And finally, his sword broke after an axe shatttered it in two. Despite his heroism and bravery, the villagers only came to despise him more because of how increasinly reliant they were to his service. Loheir was only staying out of what remained of a senes of duty and a woman he fell in love with and protected with the only weapons he had left, the crude greatsword of a beastman and his sheild.

When the maiden fell in battle one day, Loheir fell into deep grieving and threw away his sheild and instead extended the handle of his greatsword for he no longer felt the need of self preservation nor the protection of others. Despite all his time of unlfiching bravery and the dozens of times he drove off beastmen and even orks, the villagers showed only bitterness as their prejiduce would not subside and their shame only burned as hatred. Until one day, Loheir simply left the village, leaving his sheild and what remains of his old armor in his little room in the inn and march further into the distant horizon.

@Penny@ClocktowerEchos@BangoSkank Awesome, and I look forward to seeing what y'all come up with.

@Lucian Nice, feel free to pop him in the Character tab.

[Chicken]

Priest of Taal, Ulric, or Ranald - any allowed?

Araby adventurer?

Poacher turned mercenary to avoid noose?

Also, where does this take place? Posting frequency?

@Chicken

Yes to all, and it begins in the Reikwald, posting frequency is dependant on when you can post really; I'd like 1-2 posts a week, but if you can/want to post more, or need to post less for whatever reason, then that can be discussed as and when.

[POOHEAD189]

I think I'll add in my Dwarf again, sir.

[Chicken]

So many non-Imperial sorts. Dirk ain't gonna have a good time, is he?

[BayRat]

Got introduced to warhammer fantasy with total war and then later Verm 1 and 2, love the world.

I’m a fan of the whole sun empire so I’m wondering if it would be possible to play a form of rogue saurus adventurer. I ask for two reasons, one being as far as my limited warhammer knowledge is aware of such a thing would be highly unusual, and secondly because I’m not sure how well a saurus would be received IC. Edit: just read its full my apologies.
