Cool. Anyway, can you take a look at my character on the Characters Tab, and tell me what you think about him?


He looks fine to me. I prefer more detail when it comes to things like weapons and abilities, since they can provide insight to how your character operates and just how they use their skill. "Intimidation" for example can be fairly hit-or-miss; pointing your gun at cowardly thieves and peasants might be sufficiently scary, but do that on say, Orchid, and she might just bend the barrel.

All right, thanks.

@Lucius Cypher hi there and welcome. I've managed to sneak in a little time. Hehe

I like your character. The only thing I'm really worried about is that townspeople probably aren't going to take too kindly to orcs or half orcs. Jeez almighty, they're still suspicious of the lot that saved their town :p

But as long as you can work with that, then she's fine.

The party is getting preeeeeety big, if I'm imagining correctly, and not just that hung over :p

@The Harbinger of Ferocity as "The Red"

Myself, @IcePezz as Isabeau

@ArenaSnow is my co-gm and contributes a lot, as well as in charge of team evil demons.

Team evil mage is under my control, but let's face it, he's kinda the under boss?

Characters will be splitting up soon, so you have the option of coming into town and running into us before we leave, or bumping into us while on our journey.

Just as a correction on your cs, Waeldeshore is the majors city on silver lily isle. You can choose to be a native of the land, but if so, I would want to expand on that lore some. Or your character can be a traveler to silver lily shores, or more specifically, the docks in Waeldeshore.

I am, for the most part, on my phone when I'm here. Progression is a bit slow, but I am here as often as I can be. And my number one priority, aside from producing an amazing story, is to make sure everyone is having fun. I won't really be around much today, but if anyone else is, I'm sure they can help you out. Effort and imagination. That's all I really ask for :)

Orchid is an outsider. I didn't really know much about the land outside of Waeldeshore so I didn't mention any locations in particular. I could, if you'd like.

The origin of Orchid's name is perhaps one of the most amazing things I have ever read, in that it is not only amusing, but actually credible for a character.

Yeah, when she meets y'all she'll introduce herself as "The Green Orchid" because that's what she is. She also speaks with a sort of accent which would help blur the difference between Orchid and Orc Kid.

@Lucius Cypher you're more than welcome to input your own lore if you'd like or have something in mind. I kept everything pretty open and vague for mostly that reason. The only things to keep in mind is the war that erupted 5 years ago with the mage and lords, and the aftermath. Most of the inhabitants of the island migrated to Waedeshore since their land had been destroyed. There were of course some settlements that survived of course, very few and far between.

Just let me know what you come up with :)

Hmm. Alright, I'll take you up on that offer. however I have a few questions I'd like to ask first.

1. You mentioned that the people of Warldeshore wouldn't trust orcs or half-orcs. I get it's generally because of their stereotypical behavior, but have the orcs meaningfully involved themselves in worldly affairs? Or are they basically the reason you don't go into the wilderness because orc tribemens would rape and murder you, if given the chance?

2. Is Orchid accepted or do I need to make lore for her first?

3. I understand we're in Waeldeshore right now. Are there any particular organizations like adventuring guilds that Orchid might have heard of, and wanted to join? Or colleges were she could expand her education on cooking?

4. What's the currency of the world? I'm hoping to have Orchid actually have a nice amount of money (not enough to buy a house but certainly enough to cover a room, food, and drink) so she doesn't have to resort to banditry. Speaking of that,

5. Are there a lot of bandits around? Highwaymen? I may or may not begin with Orchid systematically hunting down bandits to show off her skills as well as to establish that killing people is something of a sport to her.

Ioannes is used to Half-Orcs; if IcePezz gives me permission, there can be a community of them in Giray.

An Alienage or Dragon Age?

Either way, an Alienage in Dragon Age is a place that is built in cities where the Elves are. Comparable to slums, an Alienage allows Elves to maintain their culture and community in an environment in human cities, but isolated from humans. Sort of like an embassy, but where large communities of Elves live normally for life

@Letter Bee firstly, you'd have to tell me why he would be 'used to' orcs/half orcs- and why there would be a community of them in Giray. I don't really know if orc culture would do well in Giray.

@Lucius Cypher these are a lot of questions. .. hopefully I can answer them. To be fair and honest with you, when I created the world, I never did so with orcs in mind. So I truly don't know where or how they would fit in. That being said, I might be willing to give you full reign on the lore and background, providing that you can fit them in somewhere.

While Waeldeshore is made up predominantly of humans, they do tolerate otherworldly races, as long as they don't start trouble. Orchid may have an easier time than I originally anticipated, considering she is a half breed.

1- I would assume at this point it is the stereo type. And the fact that they've become skittish to anything different and rarely seen?

2- she is accepted, I just want to clarify if she is from somewhere on Silver Lily Isle, or not.

3- I don't think that Waeldeshore would have been famous for anything other than their trade. There were the underground guilds, as mentioned in the first post. But if there is anything particular you have in mind, I do not mind as long as it makes sense. I may be wrong here, as it was so long ago since I posted it, but I think Waeldeshore was once upon a time famous for their blacksmith skills. If that is something she is interested, perhaps she traveled there to become an apprentice.

4- I will not require you to tell me how well off your character is in game. I'm pretty sure the currency is gold, copper/silver is the currency. But unless you wanted your character to be poor, and or revert to banditry, she should have enough on her to cover the cost of a room.

Throughout the entirety of the rp there were 2 things that remained out of the scope of focus- religion and gold. For a couple of reasons I did this, but mainly I did this because this is more of an adventure rp where I as the gm push the plot along. This is not a sandbox rp. And the one thing that I ask from everyone is to create something with a sense of reality to it. Create something that makes sense. If you do not want your character to know something, or be able to do something, or whatever, that choice is left completely up to you, as long as it makes sense. I look for balance. So, if I may speak frankly, if you don't see it in the cs, then I don't care. And I leave it to be determined by you.

So to answer number 5- if that is a direction that you want to go in, be my guest. There is a bandit group, I believe they were named in the first post. So they are out there.

I created a base world for a plot line that I wanted to put forth. That's all. I am strict with the character creation part because of the story line and setting. But that is about the only thing I am strict on. Everything else, to me, you are all collaborators in this huge, great and epic story. I do allow world building, as long as it is plausible, that's why I ask you to run it by me first. You'll realize, the only time I say no to something, is when I don't find it plausible. If you can explain it to me though, and it fits- go right ahead.

Edit and add on- I am not good at world building, and this was my first rp. I never expected it to last this long, and the only reason it has was the exceptional group of people that have been going along with my shenanigans this long. :p

@The Fated Fallen, More like an entire Millet, but IcePezz may not accept that.

@IcePezz, Well, it depends on how Orcs generally are. Are they barbaric, like in Tolkien and 'Regular' D&D, or are they capable of civilization, like in Warcraft (not WoW, the original strategy games)?

But I'm just a bit tired from waking up, so I won't push the issue.

My thoughts were that Giray is supposed to be a place where the outcasts of the world are accepted, and have a good life, as long as they contribute to society.
