[OOC] A Crown of Bones

[vietmyke]

I've been writing for quite a while too, not quite as long as you Gowi, but maybe something closer to... 4-5ish years?

[Nib]

Alright. I can just write up my own post. I'll try and have it up sometime between now and Friday.

[Nib]

I got my post up. I hope it's alright for an introduction post.

Uh, we can say like a few months? Like 1-3, enough so they're comfortable with eachother, without knowing eachother's deepest darkest secrets.-and oh, we're not using the scenario at the top of Brand's opening post for the IC? Fine by me either way.

So what does she exactly know about Emil? Oh and we should figure what the scenario was when they met.

EDIT: Posted, though I think I need to fluff it more. Looked like a lot more words in my word processor.

[vietmyke]

I mean, I'd assume they are at this point friendly with one another, She'd know that he is a mage capable of healing and blessing, a competent, but not amazing swordsman, generally soft spoken and quiet, not very talkative, but usually just around

[Gowi]

I was more curious if she knew he was a mage so that's helpful. Well I hope my post gives you enough content to build something around at any rate.

EDIT: Post looks about as done as I can make it, hope it's an alright read.

[Brand]

IC post will be going up Sunday. By the way, Headphones is the new CO-GM for this RP.

[Gowi]

Promotion!

I'm working on my posts as we speak, but I'm curious as to how you feel about Rali speaking another language, Brand. Realistically, it would be highly likely that her people would have spoken an entirely different language, but that may not be the most convenient situation, so I just wanted to get your opinion on the matter.

Finally got a post up, though it seems a bit short to me and I'll probably add some more to it when I feel less like my job is repeatedly bashing my face into a brick wall. Stupid real world responsibilities getting in the way of fun. :P

Felt the exact same way when I posted mine, fluffed it out throughout the next day and I'm quite happy with it now.

[Headphones]

Ah, I finally got my post up =3 I'm happy I finished it on time, since it felt as though I'm holding you all back. Because of my heavy schedule this week I couldn't read all of your posts, but I'll be doing that today. Good luck to anyone, who tries to read mine. XD

[Gowi]

And so we play the waiting game now, eh?

Excellent post, btw; the only problems my eyes have is when it looks clustered but no actual issues in my mind. Good exposition, nice eye for detail, etc. Still finishing reading it right now, tbh.

[Gelgarin]

I got bored and (with permission) made this...

resolution isn't everything I was hoping for, there are probably some errors (though I tried to be as accurate to the opening post as possible) it's a bit lacking a detail and the rivers are really fucking stupid... but it's the best I could do with the time I had. Hopefully it should make understanding the local geography a little bit easier for people.

Valaria standing between Ferros and Valeal? Hmm, I never imagined it like that. I personally thought Ferros was north of Valeal and that Valaria was far in the west of the continent. The way you've drawn it, Gel, the Great North looks like Russia and Valeal - like China XD

[Gelgarin]

I checked the continent layout with Brand before I started. Ferros is supposed to border Valeria and the Northland, and this was the only way Valeria could border Valial and Ferros whilst still retaining enough coastline to have a major sea port.

Ferros definitely had a Russian theme with the names; I lived in Russia for two years, and it's very appropriate for a cold and barren wasteland. Valeal is more Scandinavian, just because the one named city we had was Oslo and I wanted to be consistent. Kain is phonetic arabic; going from left to right it's 'Land's End', 'Blessings of God', 'River Crossing' and 'Gateway Passage'.

Gorgon and Valeria are generic fantasy nonsense, because why not?

[Nib]

Headphones, would you like an old and grizzled veteran Guardian to accompany Skye on his quest?

I have to say I specifically remember Brand mentioning that Ferrians were close to Nordics in both appearance and culture. Seeing as it has been mentioned that Ferros and Valeal differ, I can not see them being the same. I personally can't picture Valeal being Scandinavian, considering they live in lush fruitful plains with a warm climate. I would rather put them on the same level as the Franks.

Ink Blood said Headphones, would you like an old and grizzled veteran Guardian to accompany Skye on his quest?

The question, my dear Ink, is not whether or not I would like, but whether or not YOU would like to have someone as bothersome as Skye in your traveling group. XD
When it comes to me, I have nothing against it. I'm in favor of getting to know all of my fellow role-players as quickly as possible both inside and outside of the story.

[Nib]

I ask because I'm making such a character. He is sixty-two and is definitely a grizzled veteran. I think it would make sense to have someone like him sent on the quest to keep Skye in line.

But what would a 62 year old be doing outside of the Tower? (Since I can imagine the only way to become a Guardian IS from the tower) I'm pretty sure you have a backstory for the lot of it, but I am curious.
