[OOC] Terra Incognita ( Fantasy Colonial RP )

[Klaudus]

Accepted, I'm going to say if we get a few more characters in the mix then I'll throw up an IC.

[Cassowarysaur]

Expect a character from me soon!

[Cassowarysaur]

Name: Ignaescious Horatio Race: Elf Age: 32 Sex: Male Appearance: Profession: Butcher Social Ranking: Claims to be Royalty but holds no proof. Traditional villager. Talents: Ignaescious has been cutting up animals for most of his life and as such can cleanly kill animals and use their meat to be cooked. He, however, is not a cook and cannot do anything with meat apart from cut it up all the right sections. One could say he would be decent with a sword, as he uses a cleaver in his spare time, but that would be ludicrous. The Elf has no experience in sword fighting as much as the next but will not be afraid to use one if necessary. He is practiced in sanitary conditions and will rarely catch any diseases. Personality: Ignaaescious is a Xenophobe and despises not only humans, dwarves and orcs, but also his very own race. No one knows why he has these beliefs and his cynical view on the world, but it is undoubtedly a leading reason to him going on this expedition. He feels himself not above the scrutiny he puts upon his peers but below it. He will always strive to be the best he can be, but even himself does not know how good of a person he can be. Mr. Horatio is often first viewed as arrogant and cynical, but the more one gets to know him the more pity you can play on him. Recent History: No one truly knows why he joined. He keeps it a secret and does not want anyone to know. His surprisingly evil nature can make it seem out of spite or like he has something to prove or maybe it is because he simply wants to escape the hate he has absorbed himself in. Maybe there is an even darker reason.

Accepted, a butcher may actually prove useful in the course of the roleplay.

[Cassowarysaur]

You could say . . . I didn't 'butcher' my application.

Cleave me, I'm getting my coat.

[gowia]

God what has this turned into...and here I was thinking this could a calm and conservative RP...ah well. I think I will survive this madness. :) Also, how many characters are wanted before we start?

[Roundabout]

I second gowia's question, how many characters do we want before we start?

[Klaudus]

Sorry for the radio silence folks. Essentially, I'd like us to have eight or so players before we start, but I don't want to hold off so long that this dies due to inactivity. As such, I'll be prepping the IC thread. Expect it sometime today.

[gowia]

WOOOOOOOOOOOO getting slightly pumped now...time for the red coat mercs to exert their strength and take over this bitch! I MEAN SUPPORT THE COLONY IN EVERY MEANS POSSIBLE...

[Cassowarysaur]

AH, I CAN'T WAIT TO HATE ALL YOUR CHARACTERS!

[Roundabout]

Likewise, I can't wait to love you all! I feel like our characters will get along really well, Casso. Aah, I'm so exited!

[gowia]

'To prevent coups' HAHAHA...someone thinks I am really going to take over. Don't worry, I wouldn't bite the hand that feeds me.

[Klaudus]

Alright, IC is up. I've started the roleplay at a relaxed time to allow characters to get to know one another, or alternatively, get to know their surroundings. If you want my attention, please give me a shoutout using @Klaudus otherwise I might miss your post, I tend to skim things. Once you're satisfied with the evening's events, add a new response describing how your characters have retired to their beds and await the morning.

[Cassowarysaur]

Great! I'll be posting in a minute.

[Roundabout]

@Klaudus Are there any guidelines for how long each character have been in the colony? Are we talking days? Weeks? More than a month? Just so I know which level of familiarity I would already have with the area.

@Roundabout

Ah, I should've added a brief history to the IC post. I'll do that now, but essentially, the colony grows in two ways. Waves of migrants/new colonists, and children born. I'd say that the colony is about 5 months old, with the second wave having arrived a month ago. You can choose whether your characters arrived with the initial wave or the most recent one.
