The Chronicles of Dosei: Chapter 1
A Medieval Roleplay by EWillden.
Setting: This chapter begins on the fifth day of the week, the time is set at noon in the season of winter. The story takes place in a country called Itari. The country has a bit of a cold climate in the winter. Snow is on the ground and the sun seems to nearly blind anyone unprepared for its reflection upon the white floor below them. Those who lived in the country were used to it ,but still managed to keep warm with furs or thick clothes covering their bodies. Some even wore hoods, but not to keep their heads warm but to shield their eyes from the bright rays of the sun that seemed to bounce of the surface of the snow.
Life went on though in the country. Whether you lived in the city or villiages or the country side. You always managed to survive. Your adventure however starts not in the country or some fancy city with a battalion of armed guards. It starts in a small fishing village to the far south bordering that of another country. The village has gone by the simple name of Reisui, which means Cold Water. The lake in general was always cold all year around. However, the oddest thing about it, was that it never froze. Rumor has it, that a nymph lives within it and that is why it never freezes yet always remains cold and abundant with fish.
The small village consists of ten houses, a longhouse big enough to fit the lord of the village, one smith, one lumber yard, and two stores. The two stores sell different goods from each other. One store sells odds and ends from weapons to trinkets the owner claims to be rare, whether or not they are actually that is yet to be proven. The other shop a couple houses down is a shop belonging to a old wizard, in his shop he sells alchemical goods as well as a few scrolls. Nothing to fancy, just minor healing scrolls.
The Village also houses a tavern with room for fifteen guests with ten tables and a bar counter,and one barracks housing about twenty guards. The Tavern goes by the name of Karasu, which means Raven. The owners of the tavern is a drow elf named Vivian and her sister Cassandra. Every so often they take turns going out and exploring. By exploring I mean they take a wagon of food and a couple bags of gold to a secluded mountain. Why they take it there is unknown to the lord. He does not know, and with dragons being common in the region. He did not want to know. For all he knew they could be bribing one to either not attacking our village or protecting it. Most likely both actually.
Plot: Your character will start in this village, and by saying start I mean your character will either be in the village or just entering it. There are three entrance points to the village. Other then that it is walled in. The walls are made of timber and are often occupied and patrolled by the guards stationed here. The three entrances consist of a northern entrance, a western entrance and a southern entrance. As far as story goes, the story will go as you make it from conversations between the villagers or guards.
Your can travel alone or in a group does not matter. What quests you take up on is determined by you or the group you decide to join. The country and world has many Japanese influences and cultures but do not yet live by them. You can follow a Japanese deity if you wish though.
Rules:
* All standard RP Rules Apply
* All characters must be posted here and approved
* Characters need to be located at Reisui to begin, with a history of why they are there.
* Have common sense and decency here.
* Multiple characters will be allowed after initial posts are made if a player wishes.
* None specific NPCS are fine - As long as they are not a high rank or in a place of power.
* Have a question - ASK. I am pretty laid back with Gming, open to subplots, monkey wrenches, romances, etc. Long as you run it by me I usually have no issue.
* No pouting. I do enjoy throwing monkey wrenches into RPs, so you may find this happens. Please be warned that it can and will happen.
* Characters can die, it happens. If you have a character you love that you think would play well in this RP but are afraid of them going the way of the DoDo bird, please inform me. If you create a character for this RP and end up falling in love with it, let me know. If you want to create a character to kill off, again let me know. I do try to be accommodating.
* Romances are fine, just keep it smut free, post a taking it to pm and then return.
*This is a mature roleplay, there will be swearing. Perhaps even nudity but that is it. nudity will be as far as I am willing to let it go. Anything else more will not be accepted.
* I am the GM, meaning to your characters I am their deity. Therefore, I am Gruumsh, I am Corellan Larethian, I am Lolth, I am Pelor, I am Nerul, etc. Basically, don't roleplay a deity.
Guidlines for Posting:
*Unless GM says it happened it didn't happen. Please do not assume your character knows certain things unless they have been said in RP.
*When a character posts inner dialog other characters do not know this so please do not include a reaction to this in your posts.
*Posts will come in rotation - so hold your posts until your turn in rotation comes up. There will be times for free posting - such as when two characters are interacting quickly for dialog - Denote ~Free Post~ at the top of your post if this is the case. Rotation will be determined after all have posted intro post in RP. Rotation will be posted after that. (At the end of a free post moment, all rotation goes back to normal.)
*Co-Op posting is encouraged. This can be done in PM or Google Docs. (If you do not know what Co-op is, basically you rp out the scene with an RP partner elsewhere, then put the posts together and throw them up here as a single post with a note ~Co-Op W/whoever) These are great to keep posts streamlined and allow you to RP a moment out without flooding the IC with short posts.
*Co-Op Posts are preferred to Free Posts.
