WARNING: This RP is meant for adults. There will be blood, romance, and all that jazz, and if you aren't comfortable with that, then this place isn't for you.

Before We start off, there's something I want to mention. I have no intention of creating my own character for this RP. This means I will be acting solely as the director of events. I find that this makes things not only easier, but prevents me from accidentally centering events around my own character. I will be taking the roles of various important and non important characters throughout the RP to move events in certain directions, but I will not have any characters of my own.

Now, Welcome one and all to:


So, what makes TLoI different from other typical high fantasy RPs? Although the world is different and the story is completely unique, one can begin to sound like another even if neither of them have anything besides the use of a high fantasy world in common. For a solution to that problem I have created this RP with a different precedent than other high fantasy RPs. Not to say that it has never been done before, but to my knowledge this is the first I've heard of it.

THIS RP IS A PAIRED RP.

So what does that mean? It means that each of the players in this RP must have a partner. I will not decide who you will partner with, that is entirely up to you, but the rule here is that you mus have another character (controlled by a different player) that is paired with your character. There is sufficient reason and back story for this as far as the world goes, but outside the world there is also good reason for this. Not only is this approach unique, but it gives a good social dynamic to the RP. It also encourages the development of goals and purposes. You may have multiple characters here, but they CANNOT be paired with one of your other characters. So if you want to set up a second character, it has to be bound to another players character as well.

NOTE: YOU ARE MORE THAN WELCOME TO USE THIS OOC THREAD TO SEARCH FOR YOUR PARTNER. Frankly that would make things easy for me too.

To make an effective conversation or scenario work in this RP, it is HIGHLY recommended that you talk with your partner OUTSIDE this RP. This means PMs, separate threads, or any other means of communication that you deem appropriate with each other. For this reason it is entirely alright to have collaborative posts (two posts rolled into one) on a frequent basis, but there is also nothing wrong with separate posts. Something to note is that you must choose a partner BEFORE you create your character sheets. The reason for this is that in order for two characters to be linked, they must have some sort of connection to the person they are linked with. This means family, friends, lovers, or even enemies. This gives yet another good opportunity for social dynamics.

I would like some variation is the social dynamics, however. So if a pair has already posted their character sheets and lets say for example purposes they are brother and sister, try not to have that same connection between the characters in your pair. Now, if you are already in the process of creating your CS and somebody just happens to post before you with the connection you were working on it does not mean you have to re-do your entire CS, it just means you have to make things different from theirs. Although I would like variation, I won't make anyone re-do their CS unless there are some serious similarities between two different characters that are not paired.
So now with that out of the way, we can get down to the lore and back story.















Got any questions or suggestions? anything I missed? I'd love to hear it. Feel free to PM me if you need or want anything specific.

WARNING: Again, this RP is meant for adults. There will be blood, romance, and all that jazz, and if you aren't comfortable with that, then this place isn't for you.

I'm really sorry, but I'm going to have to drop out. Some stuff has come up in real life that'll mean I don't have quite as much time to spend on this as I would like to. Really sorry for any inconvenience.

I'm going to be playing a female with an interesting family history... she'll probably be a thief, if anyone wants to be her friend or enemy, let me know!

I'm willing to partner up, I was thinking of making a nervous Raevan with social, and confidence issues. If you aren't interested then I guess I'm looking for a partner as well.

I want to get an enemy relationship type deal going, maybe something in which the two bonded constantly try to one up each other. Not sure about my characters details just yet though.

I'm going to wait until all of us get here before I choose, actually.

This looks awesome. I would want to jump in, but I will be stuck with only a phone for a bit more than a month... and while I can (and have in the past XD) post with it, it probably wouldn't be fair for a partner. I am keeping an eye on this though!

This looks awesome, I'm gonna keep tabs on this while I make a character sheet. Any place specific I should post it or is this a good spot?

It's hard to choose a partner when you don't know what the character will be like, honestly.

That's why you talk to each other and collaborate characters. Bounce ideas off each other and find somebody you can get on the same page with.

That's why you're meant to find a partner before you guys make and CSs.
