[OOC] Starless - Unique Fantasy RP

[ravenDivinity]

@Guilty Spark: What do you mean by that?

Also if people want to work their dates into the history, feel free to do so.

[Guilty Spark]

@ravenDivinity I mean maybe PA starts, then some thousands of years after that a new event is pivotal enough to warrant a changing of the age and another acronym begins at 1 again.

My reasons for that thought is that the civilizations of Ansus have the potential to be up to 60K years old, I mean A.D. is good for us IRL right now but I doubt it will last for another 48,000 years.

[ravenDivinity]

@Guilty Spark: That's true. The problem arises when we try to find an event that is significant enough to justify another calendar after PA.

[Guilty Spark]

@ravenDivinity Yeah, I know, I just wanted to comment on the possibility of such a thing occurring. It may end up, in the future of Ansus, that they call the beginning of the IC year one of "after revival/resurrection" etc.

[ravenDivinity]

@Guilty Spark: The event could have happened somewhere around when Daen lived. That would be convenient since it divides PA in half.

[Torack]

Woah! That makes my my character the oldest save for Ansus! Damn y'all, make sure you bring grandpa some cigars. Grandpa loves cigars.

[Guilty Spark]

@ravenDivinity That would be convenient. I figured out of all the bios here, one of them would set a good stage for world-shaking events.

[jasonwolf]

@Torack Aren't you a little old to be saving the world? I mean Mark's old, but he's also unable to age. I think he's the oldest in years lived.

[Guilty Spark]

@Torack Of course it does, raven set a limit on how far back our characters could go and you chose the exact maximum of said limit.

[FantasyChic]

Damn, 16 characters. Wowza. I feel way behind, but I PROMISE I will finish my sheet tomorrow. Didn't expect to be busy at work tonight.

[ravenDivinity]

@FantasyChic: Don't worry, you're not late at all! I'm just getting this thing on the road and restricting applications, so nobody gets bored and I won't get overloaded with new, unexpected applicants.

@jasonwolf

Sure? Volkimir died somewhere in the area of three to five thousand years old.

[ravenDivinity]

Alright, first IC post is up! You can have your character resurrect anywhere you want, and you can have your character wake up with either one artifact or no artifact at all. You may also include some sort of narrative of their dying moments or whatever, like I did.

[jasonwolf]

@ravenDivinity Welp looks like we'll need some kindling. Ansur he's some moonshine drink up. I'll get this fire started in no time.

[jasonwolf]

@Dead Cruiser Ok second oldest. But I mean that's a vampire. He's expected to live that long. For a vampire that only middle aged. Mark is 400-600 and in his prime forever. If he didn't go exploding a volcano on himself easily would have still been alive for the RP (Something I considered asking for).

[Dextkiller]

@ravenDivinity Would It be possible for me to use my posts from the old IC here? I mean, I don't mean to sound lazy, but doing the same thing over again is kind of a drag. At least the resurrection post.

@Dextkiller

Write a different scenario. That's what I'm planning.

[Guilty Spark]

Yeah, I have my own big, cool resurrection post for this character, but it doesn't fit so I'm going to make a whole new one as well.

Edit: Let's be honest though, if it fit the scenario I'd probably copy-paste it too. I once read 67 pages of IC to catch up with an RP that died after I made one post, so now I'll admit to cutting the usual corners.

[Dead Cruiser]

Incidentally, it seems to me that a number of us are clustered about the same period in history, approximately. I think we would do well to entwine our stories, perhaps even editing some details in our backstories here and there to match each other. This would do much to create a more cohesive world around our characters.

@ravenDivinity Cynderia could have been one of the "mighty nations" that stood against the forces of evil in the Horror Wars, eventually coming to become part of the united Ansus. I'm tentatively calling the contemporary form of this nation, "the United Kingdoms of Ansus." Let me know what you think of this.

@Corvidae Following the Horror Wars, there may have been a wave of piracy and lawlessness that emerged from a mass exodus of refugees. People took to the seas for foreign lands, thinking them to be safer than Ansus. Crow would have been born in a time after the Unification, and one of the first kings of the united Ansus may have been fighting to restore law to the seas surrounding his land.

@DeltaV I leave it up to you if you would like to, but I think with some alterations, your character could fit very neatly into this crazy scheme I'm running. Bump back Jacaerys' birth some 500 years, and he could have fought against the undead scourge in the Horror Wars. Let me know how you feel about this.

@Charzy This is somewhat of a more personal attempt at collaboration, but I think in his travels, Volkimir may have met and perhaps studied warfare under Zhan. He could have taken his strategies and utilized them centuries later in the Horror Wars. I leave it at your discretion to how Zhan may have seen the vampire as a person and as a student.

@Dawnscroll Coquelicot could have been yet another of the nations that came to unite against the Shadowlands. I can imagine members of Clarent's Order fighting against the tides of undead, under the distant command of the Shadow King.

@Dead Cruiser

I like it! As it's quite late where I'm at, sleep beckons, but you've my full approval; depending on whether or not we need to reach some sort of unanimous consensus, I'll make the necessary alterations come morning.
