Trust me I would love to do that but the tone of this rp is very medieval-esque and involving the New World kinda takes away from that and is beyond the scope of the current storyline.

Now the next thread I'm planning for a time skip to a steampunkish world with both industrial technology and magic and features American fables just like you suggested. The state of which is determined by events in this roleplay

deadpixel, Very well he is accepted. I'd just change his occupation to be part of a general mage college not one of necromancy. That'd be like having a bomb making or hacking majors :pPatriarch, like I said in the OP you can adapt any mythology, folklore, or fairy tale, even classic works of literature like Shakespeare's plays, old novels, or poems even nursery rhymes or urban legends. If you've ever played the Wolf Among Us that should give you a good measure of what you can adapt here.There are no hard and fast rules. The three main guiding principles are that magic should not be something that let's you solve every problem instantly, that they don't completely obliterate the laws of science, and that it should cost you something to use. As long as your power isn't a game breaker and you be careful about god-modding you should be fine.


Can we alter characters from the fairy tale to give them magical powers?

If there is justification in their stories or a logical continuation of their stories then yes as I did with many of my own NPCs

By the way, just out of curiosity, will there be a map of the lands for visual reference?

Caits, I'd welcome your presence happily. Sign-ups are never closed so feel free to join.

Zealous, Well if anyone as any facilitation with drawing I could give them an overview. I myself am a piss-poor artist xD A real world map would give you a rough idea, the Terran analogue landmasses are somewhat larger with extra pieces but generally the geography is similar to reality.

Patriarch, the sheet looks to be progressing fine. I know little of Slavic mythology so it should be a good read when you're done.

Not bad. Not bad at all.

And also, what if smurfs also existed? Heck, let's call them smurves. That would be AWESOME.

Bing, smurffs I'm thinking..... maybe. There are so many little people races really and they don't really fit the "classic" aesthetic I'm trying to go for. And as this is a darker rp I'm not sure they'd fit tonally either, I mean you could darken most fairy tale creatures but not smurffs without being ridiculous.

Hobbits, they can definitely exist. They'd be a pastoral European society that basically showed no resistance to the Drake invasion.

Caits, Great can't wait to see what you got.

WIP [Hider=Agafor] Name: Agafor, Son of Chernobog Titles: Son of The Dark One, High Warlock Affiliation: Gender: male Age: 20 Birthplace: The Tsardom of the Rus Origin: The story of the duality between the god of light and sun Belobog and the god of darkness and chaos Chernobog has been told for hundreds of years. No one knows exactly where the two gods originated, whether they were brothers or if they were one being separated into two gods, but what is known is that they are like opposites and have been in conflict for as long their followers could remember. Their battles had done a great amount of damage to the land, and eventually formed a truce to not directly go to war with another knowing that it would mean mutually assured destruction for the both of them as well as the Tsardom. In order to still undermine one another without breaking the truce, both Belobog and Chernobog started having Demigod children, but it was a rare case for there to be a birth of a demigod. Agafor was one of those rare children. Not wanting the children to have too much attention to them until they were older, both Belobog and Chernobog had the demigods born to honest and common families. For Belobog he wanted his children to experience humanity and attain respect and humility through the common people. Chernobog believed that by having his children grow up as a commoner they would see the worst of humanity and the evils that plagued human society. Many said that the children of Belobog were baptized in warmth the summer sun, while the children of Chernobog were said to be baptized in the dark night of a cold winter. Agafor was born on a cold snowy night in one of the more poorer villages of the Tsardom and his family was impoverished. Race: Demigod Appearance: He looks like this but his hair is a dark red and his eyes are an eerie blue. ![enter image description here](https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/02/70/8c/02708c27b18d6079de810faf93a1e8ac.jpg "enter image title here") His Demigod form looks like this ![enter image description here](https://ferrebeekeeper.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/chernabog-02-3.jpg "enter image title here") Occupation: Warlock and demigod Resources: Thanks to his godly heritage and using his powers for price, Agafor has a good amount of wealth. He is not as rich as lord or royalty, but he is most definitely not poor or a commoner. He is well known throughout the Tsardom of The Rus and people come to him asking for favors and when he needs to he will come to someone asking for to return their favor. In order to bind someone to serving him when he needs a favor in return for his services, Agafor makes them sign a contract which will only be broken when they do the favor that is asked of them. If they do not fallow the rules of the contract then Agafor will have the power bring bad misfortune to them. He has his Warlock robes and a [url=http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090708113011/finalfantasy/images/5/5a/FF7_Wizard_staff.jpg]magic staff which helps him focus his power[/url]. Skills: He is very well versed in the arcane arts and has a huge knowledge of magic and the cosmology of the Slavic pantheon. Agafor is a very powerful magic user and has senses that are more sharp than regular humans because of his godly heritage. He can change into his Demigod form which grants him increased strength and the ability to fly, but his ability to use magic in complex ways is limited. Personality: Just a general overview of your character as a person. They should reflect a version or a particular story or even a combination. As long as the interpretation makes sense in the context of that story. Maybe Cinderella is still a naive princess or maybe she became more cynical. Maybe Red Riding Hood is still a hopeless victim or maybe she became a stone-cold were-wolf killer. Either way you should leave room for them to grow and character development should make sense. Biography: An overview of their original story with whatever elements added in to make it a compelling background. You don't need to write out a whole life-story however but two or three good paragraphs is a must. Where did they start from in their story, what happened, and where are they now? What happened after their supposed happy ending? Notes: Any other random facts that may be interesting[/Hider]
