Time in this RP is a strange animal. It's really just whatever time of day or season that it needs to be in the post. In cases of player interaction, whoever states the time of day, season etc first would, I figure, establish it for that period.


Posts in this RP should logically span years, so the above would be best.

I plan to post tomorrow morning at noonish.

I know I should probably quicken pace some but like going at current pace. Made a race and seeing where it will lead.

@Elitestpotato I imagine it will probably be a long time before the Alvith and Snow Brutes do interact. The cold north would be too inhospitable for the Alvith currently until they develop technology to combat the cold. How things unfold can be affected by a great many things. Alvith currently as a society might change drastically by time they meet Snow Brutes.

I've not forgotten about this, Mihn.

I'll see about getting an app up over the next week.

Greetings all. I am new to this type of role-playing, yet shall attempt my hand at its ways. I hope to not have missed too much in my development below.

Name of Race: Soruli

Picture/Description:


(I decided to change the name of my beings from Coruli to Soruli.)

- A race with tall lanky builds of lean muscle, not built for excessive strength or toughness, but for flexibility and swift gymnastic feats. Though mainly bipedal, they are comfortable with moving on all fours.

- Heights of full adults vary between 5’6 to 6’0. The rare or rather exceptional Soruli could be 7 feet tall or gain more muscle structure, but these are generally less optimal for the activities of the people.

- Fur and small portions feathers accent portions of their bodies, whether upon their heads, neck to groin, or from the back of their neck to the small of their back. These accents may even go around their wrists and ankles or down their arms.

- Small talons are upon their hands and feet, mainly to help with gripping branches or prey.

- They are not inclined to colder climates and generally prefer humid/hot regions.

~~~

Racial Characteristics (Things Specific to the Race):

- Eyes for any of the Soruli are large and each has a varying color with floating flecks of a white that resemble stars.
(Akin to this Owl’s: )

- Their skin is of an ashy-grey, the colors of the furs upon them tend to be earthy tones and their feathers vary wildly in coloration.

- They are able to make high-pitched songs and outcries like that of birds to communicate.

~~~

Race Bio (Personality, etc.):

The Soruli. An overall peaceful race, more characterized by their curiosity. The greyish portions of their flesh are commonly painted with things found to befit the nature around them.

Very much stuck in their own free flowing manner, they seem to take things as they come and experiment with what they have, approaching new things with caution and observation.

Culturally, either male or female can be a leader in any smaller group, though larger groups tend to form Councils.

Within the lands they inhabit, they generally can’t keep settled for too long and tend to shift from spot to spot. An open clearing one day and the branches of the treetops on another.

~~~

Current intended development: Agricultural/Religious or Scientific

They will most certainly collect and plant things in time, as well as raise animals for their use and consumption. A balance might be struck between Religion and Science, as they will try to continue their peaceful ways to some capacity and also further their understanding of the world.

Beginning Techs Not Already Given: Staffs, Basic Flutes

~~~

Location on Map: South-East on the current provided map in a central portion of the rainforest that stops at a river-side.

(I went ahead and made a direct position upon the map, along with a black box for the names of the races to come out clearer.)

Looks pretty good. Start whenever you're ready.

I'd appreciate it if you didn't completely break the map. The pixels need to be 1-1 or else it'll be warped and unusable.


There we go.

My first try at this kind of RP, so bear with me, aye?

Name of Race: Ashen Hounds

Pic/Description:

They are a mostly quadpedal race that are capable of standing on their hind legs in a hunched over way when neccesary. When bipedal they stand between 5-6 foot tall and when quadrapedal 3-4 foot tall. They tend to weigh between 300-450 pounds, although slightly larger ones both in terms of height and weight may occur.

They have large bear like paws, with long thick claws, being their primary weapon.

The males have a brown fur, while the females have a slightly darker tone. However, they also have emerald green scales along the outer portions of their legs, necks, arms and most of their back.

Their three tails are long, muscular and rather fluffy. They have the head shape of a wolf, however, the males have a longer and thicker muzzle.

Racial Characteristics (things specific to the race):

They primarily live in dens dug into hillsides or next to larger trees.

Their main way of communication is howls and barking, while knowledge is retained through simple depictions in bark taken from fallen trees.

They are omnivores, but always take meat over any other sort of food if avaliable.

Their claws are commonly managed by clawing trees or stones found around them to prevent overgrowth.

Main Strengths:

Their stamina, which would allow them to chase prey for hours, or days if necessary, as well as their sturdy builds, allowing them to take quite a beating, although they avoid it if possible. (Just because you can withstand pain does not mean you wish to.)

They are also, due to their muscular build, very strong for their size.

Main Weaknesses:

While having very tough claws, their weight makes it very hard for them to climb up trees.

While their scales are decent at deflecting slashing strikes, once a scale is ripped loose, they take a very long time to grow back, and even longer to be as tough as the original scale. The scales also make it harder for them to treat themselves if injured badly, for an ill placed lick or paw could get sliced against the exposed edges of scales around the wound.

The parts of their body with fur are fleshy and unprotected.

They are not very good swimmers, and have therefore learned how to cross rivers by constructing primitive bridges to get across.

~~~

Race Bio (personality, etc.): The Ashen are a tribal people that live in clans and rarely interact with eachother outside of their respective clan unless an outside threat emerges.

Females and males are considered equal, it is their size and skills that decide what their role within the clan becomes.

They are knowledge seekers, often experimenting with whatever they can get their paws on, for better or worse.

Techs (Specifically Those not already given): Stones with their claws = Sometimes Fire.
Woodcarving

Edit: Fixed the link for location on map.

You're approved. Just a note to anyone in the future, plz plz don't use Microsoft Paint for editing maps. Paint.net is much better and supports transparency.

Quick question, how would disputed territorial claims be handled?

Assuming you mean in the roleplay, what he said. If you mean otherwise, whoever picked to start in that area first.

You could also come to some sort of exchange or agreement. My race is going to have a cultural reason to expand all the way west to the end of the peninsula, which likely will bring them into conflict with the Snow Brutes.

Noted. I was unaware that such a thing existed. I had photoshop on my old computer for those things if I ever did it.

Cheers for the approval, I take it I now post the description in the character thread?

I'm not quite sure what you mean. If you're asking if you can designate an
area as hilly, if you get there before anyone else then I guess so.

Yes that was what I meant, I looked at the maps you done but I could not tell in the forest/rain forest areas if they had low or steep hills within them as the only place I see as mountainous is where the Rokthan is, it's just me figuring out were to have my race while making them for the rp :)

It's funny, because someone told me something very similar to that five years ago.

What happened, you might ask?

My race committed genocide.
