Tales from Frontier Village
Frontier Village. A minor, yet important spot on the Golden Road from the Kingdom of Norad to the Sechs Republic. People from all sorts of walks of life pass through this rural village, some with purpose, some just wandering, and some...they don’t know themselves. As the final town before the border between nations, it’s not uncommon for merchants to spend the night, before beginning the final leg, to make sure they reach the border checkpoint nice and early. But it’s just as common for people to end their journey here, either running out of money and unable to go onward or were turned back and lacked the cash to go back, or had other reasons for being here. Everyone in Frontier Village has a story to tell, some less willing to tell than others. What’s your story, and what will you make of your life here?
Hello, and welcome to the official Tales from Frontier Village: A Rune Factory Roleplay’s OOC, I know some of you have been waiting in anticipation, and some have just seen this and decided to check it out. While this is yes, a fandom roleplay, as I noted on the Interest Check, you do not need to know anything about Rune Factory itself, as both this post, and some posts in the IC, will give you the basics you need to know. As this is a “self-contained” and “semi-sandbox” narrative, the players have the freedom to make any number of character types, without fear of having to worry about anything too serious. It is my intentions for this to be an ongoing narrative, with multiple plot threads, some run by me and my co-GM @Jerkchicken , others managed by you. There will be random “events” and occasional festivals.
As this is meant to be semi-sandbox, there’s no chosen one, no super hero destined for greatness. Keep that in mind when making your character. Unless you make a character who has been living in the town for awhile, you will be starting from ground zero. Sure, you may be an Earthmate, or famous elsewhere, but you’re going to have to prove yourself to the locals that they can trust you, and that you can be a valuable part of the community. Additionally, while we would advise you make denizens or new arrivals to the town, you can make travelers who are passing through, as there is a narrative I’ll be preparing that will effect the ease of travel between nations. So with that said, let me go over a few more things, before you can start submitting your character sheets.
That all aside, I’m going to just repost the lore I included before on the Interest Check, along with races. The lists will be updated and changed regarding races as time goes on. If anything, I may devote a post or two in the IC to more detailed culture stuff. If players really want that. Though the following link should suffice.

And now, the Character Sheet. If you have any questions about this, please do ask.
If this was a lot to take in, whoops. Again, whether you’re a long time fan, new, or just looking for a fun fantasy slice of life where anything and everything could happen, this is for you. As this is casual, I’m only going to ask for a paragraph or two, but what I will ask for is that it be enough for another rper to work off if they’re interacting with you. No one liners. First posts(character intros), can be as long as you feel is needed, if you want to interact with someone at the end of said intro, just make it clear. Hope this is compelling enough to those who read, and I look forward to seeing your sheets!
