Chronicles Of Enduwin ~ Mature Fantasy RP

[Sicarius]

We've got a knight, I do so believe though he is against the gods. So, religious warrior is open. We also have some monks, and perhaps a female religious warrior though she did not seem like the paladin or crusader archetype. I truthfully haven't caught up with all the characters, purely do to misplacing where the sheets are through this mass of posts though I have gained at least an idea.

[Kiddo]

Nope, the closest thing to that that we have is an anti-crusader knight guy.

[Veridis Quo]

So I haven't read any of the CS sheets, but depending on what I see, I might play as a Knight + Squire combo.
It'd depend on how I can feasibly get them to join up with everyone else. If not, I can always scrap the idea and play as a mercenary.

I haven't read through the main post yet, or any of the accepted characters.Is there already someone playing as a paladin/crusader/knight type of person?

There is a non-magical knight, a magical monk-warrior. And a healer. Among others, but they are most similar to what you seem like you want to do.

Also they apparently protect this world from SPACE PIRATES, so that's a good thing!

Space pirates and space monsters.

Also, again, things with the gods are deliberately open to interpretation. It's no fun if I Just tell you what's what.

I always appreciate people wanting to join my RPs.
But I have to play the stickler here; it's in the advanced section as those are the standards I want so you're going to need to bulk out the CS. Also I don't think just taking the name of a main character from LOTR is a good idea.
Don't let this discourage you, you're still more than welcome to join.

@Everyone Could everyone who has had a CS or faction approved, PM the sheets to me so as I can put them all together in a depository.

New instructions! The uncompleted format coding means that it would be quite a massive effort for me to collect all the CSs in a single post. Essentially I'd have to reformat everything you send to me. So new/better idea. Each person put up a single post in the Compendium Of Enduwin and include all of your sheets in that post. Nothing else will go there except sheets.

Here is the Roleplay thread, first IC post and all!

This way for adventure!

[Nantafiria]

I've been thinking a bit and then came to the conclusion that Enduwin would be Malthus' ideal world. The highest possible population of the world right now? X many people, so sayeth the sand, qed. Easy.

[Kiddo]

Awwwww yus just figured out who my character is going to be! He fits the group quite nicely, I think.

Sadly won't be until tonight that I can write the CS, I think, so I'll only be getting in a IC post late.

[Veridis Quo]

I've read the overview story. Is this land still a chunk of rock floating in space, circled by water, or is it an actual planet with planet-like qualities?

Never a question I had to consider. I would say I don't know. Maybe in the millions?

Could be either. Depending on whether or not you believe the story of Enduwin's creation.

[Veridis Quo]

So, geographically speaking, is it just a big flat rock in space, or is it actually a planet?

[Darkmatter]

It's only described as a 'plain'.

[Veridis Quo]

I've read all of the OP post.

Are there other continents beyond the storms out at the sea? Is one of the Gods was actively keeping sailors from the far lands out?

[El_Tigre]

From what I have gathered No one knows if there is anything beyond the seas as no one can cross them. And yes there is a God actively keeping them back, I believe it is Tintrayach lol

[Callthecops]

@Tigre, is that a Community reference per chance?

[Kiddo]

ARGH. Have spent the past five hours trying to draw my character, but it's just not happening for now. So my CS won't have a picture in the description section TT^TT

You sir, would be correct lol

It has never been ascertained.

Dssialii

Essential Information
Name/Aliases: Dssialii (d’saisle’E)
Sex: Male
Race: Trayii
Age: 21

Appearance:
Dssialli hails from a clan of almost-sea-colored goblins from the southern coastal regions of the Sands. When the light catches his scales just right, the green shows through unmistakably, though, like all goblins, in normal circumstances his color appears earthy (though it’s slightly-moldy earth). His alert color is an almost-painfully-saturated purple that gradates to a pinkish-red at his extremities and around his eyes.
Though most people can’t really tell the difference between one goblin and another, other goblins would tell you that Dssialli is handsome in an aggressive sort of way. His head is quantitatively shorter and sharper than average, and the natural lay of his very-long ears is low and straight. Only a visually-impaired, joking, or odd goblin (or his deceased wife) would describe him as “cute”, though when you’re a short race with large eyes and expressive ears, larger races invariably will call you that.
He’s not unusually-tall for his race and clan, though he does stand at the taller end of the spectrum at 3’10” (wow, much height, so goblin, such stature).
You’d be best off distinguishing him using his lack of facial hair (unusual for a goblin who spends time among other species), the dark ribbing in his ears, the darkness of his hands from burning the scales constantly, or the dark scars along his snout where scales were ripped out for his marriage ceremony.
[clothing incoming, I have to manage to draw it before I can settle on a design in writing]

Personality:
Dssialli is, contrary to his aggressive bearing, pretty easy-going. That’s not to say that he has a cool temper, but if you don’t give him any reason to take offense or get angry with you, he can be a great buddy. He’s fairly reliable, and communicative when he’s feeling cross or under-the-weather (possibly too communicative: he doesn’t seem to understand that just because he’s feeling down doesn’t mean that everyone wants to know why).
On a good day, he’s as smiley and cheerful as one could ask, though he doesn’t go beyond that “oh that’s nice he’s feeling well” line onto “oh gosh WHY IS HE SO HAPPY?” unless he’s had particularly-good fortune. Or unless he’s drunk. If you stay around him long enough to head to a tavern with him, you’ll see just why goblins have little problem chewing their food (yes, those are two rows of teeth. Yes, they are all very sharp. Yes, it’s scary as heck to look at a laughing goblin).
On a bad day, once you get past his explanation that he’s not feeling wonderful, he’s not even that bad. He can still smile, he can still not be a drag. Just don’t get him angry, and keep him away from the liquor. He’s lost a few friends to violent bouts when they thought cheering him up with drinks was a good idea.
But hey, if you’re mindful of his moods and run when you see him start turning purple, there’s little to stop him from being a good friend.

History:
“Sorry, I’m just not feeling great today.” The goblin examines the glasses with an expert eye and shrugs. “Shouldn’t be too much of a problem. 70 copper.”
You hand over the money (or rather, hand it down; putting stuff on goblin-sized counters is somewhat difficult, and who even knew that there was a goblin grocer in this town with a suitable hearth for glass-melting temperatures?) and prepare to peruse the aisles to pass the time, but as he turns away the green-tinted glass blower doesn’t stop talking.
“Is just one of those days when you remember happier times. You ever been married?” You shake your head (because, really, what is up with this group of adventurers? A bunch of ineligible bachelors or something!) politely, not particularly caring to listen to the goblin’s life story, but hey, you weren’t particularly planning on buying anything from the grocer, either, so this worked. “Well let me tell you; you find a good woman, and life is something new. Every day you wake up, turn over, and realize with elation that that’s your wife, the love of your life, nested with you, and you’re hers until you die. Every day you make amazing memories, and they don’t even have to be of anything special. Maybe she nibbles on your ear while you poke at the clock, and you never forget. Maybe you spend all morning talking about filling up the nest with tadpoles, and then decide ‘nah, let’s put it off and go on a vacation instead’. And so you go on vacation, and she looks stunning splashing about in the waves, and you smile indulgently as you try to stay dry on the shore. Or maybe she comes down to the forge one day whilst you work and she leans against it and then recoils at the heat and you can’t help but bust yourself laughing at the look on her face as her color slowly cools back down to normal.”
Is he still talking? You glance back at him from the shelf of poorly-printed wanted ads (you’d think they’d go to the trouble of buying a few more ‘w’ for the printing press, since one didn’t really cut it when you had to write “Wanted” and “reward” on the same page, and when your criminal’s name was “Winford Willifred”, it was especially bad), but he’s working away while talking, so at least he’s not just wasting your time.
“And then she dies.” You glance over at him again, something about the way he said that catching you by surprise, but he’s still leaning studiously over his work, peering carefully through a jeweler’s glass and rubbing a cloth across your glasses. “And you’re left alone. And this loneliness is different than before you met her, because now you know what you’re missing. And every time the glass reflects your image back to you, you see your marriage vows in a black scar across your face, and you think of her. And every time your ear itches, you think of her. And every time you wake, and turn over, and the nest is empty, you think of her. The waves, the sand, the hearth, it all reminds you of her. Of happier times. And then, tada, there you are, fixing someone’s glasses and pitiably weighing down the poor youth with depressing stories.” He quickly glances at you and then holds the glasses up to the light, his tongue sliding out to rub over his top lip.
“Hmmmm, well let’s talk of something less depressing.” He puts the glasses carefully into the forge for a few seconds. “Not quite done with those yet. Let’s see… well, how about this. You ever been on a hunt? A real-life, magnificent tussle with some wondrous beast of the sands, atop your trusty worg friend, your clanmates at your side? No? Hmph.” His face takes on a disapproving grumpiness as if he wonders what they teach children in schools these days (though, from what you know of goblin life spans, you’re probably actually older than he, which has made this whole thing just that little bit more awkward), but he turns back to the forge and his work and lets you look elsewhere for the time being.
“Well you should some day, it’s magnificent. Nothing to get the blood pumping through you like that. I still remember my first time… haha, who doesn’t remember their first? It was right after the first heavy rains of the season. ‘Welp, you’re old enough for your first hunt now!’ my aunt told me, and shoed me off to mount Krasdiskl, and woosh, off I went to catch up with the hunters.”
You expected him to go on, but silence lasted a few moments, and when you turned back he was getting up from his squat and bringing your glasses over. Quickly counting the copper you’d left on the counter, he handed up his end of the bargain when he was satisfied you’d fulfilled yours. “Now you have a nice day, and don’t go breaking those again. Not that I’d mind, but I’m not gonna give you a better price next time just cuz you can’t take care of superior craftsmanship.”

How's that? :D

[El_Tigre]

With your map you put Major Regions of Neyav. The world is called Enduwin :P Neyav is the so called after life. Like Valhalla or heaven lol

[Kiddo]

Is that so? I just couldn't figure it out whilst reading the first post. That makes things easier, thank goodness.
