[OOC] The Hand of Fate

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

Out of curiosity, @Cuddle Pot, since this is a high fantasy adventure, how many players are you intending?

[Cuddle Pot]

In truth @The Harbinger of Ferocity I was hoping 3-4 people total but I've always had trouble kicking interested people out. I'll change it to closed and impose a one character limit.

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

So long as you feel satisfied with the cast of characters, @Cuddle Pot, which thus far seems quite diverse in scope and person. Hopefully the participants stay motivated as they have been.

@Cuddle Pot

I would like to mention that english is NOT my native language. so whatever grammer mistakes there are in my post or cs I ask that you please won't pay to much attention to it. Grammer mistakes are hard for me to find in my english posts and im still learning to write english.

[Turbowraith]

On an unrelated note, I think we should gather information about player-made kingdoms and organisations, both active and defunct, in a post. So far, if I'm not mistaken, we have @The Harbinger of Ferocity's Lords of the Wild and @Mr Rage's elven kingdom. If it's okay, I would also like to add a few things about Ebonwood's organisation.

So I used a name generator cause I couldn't think of anything that would fit in a fantasy world like this.
I'd also like to say that of course, anything anyone has a problem with can be changed.
I justify the age by the description of "Bright-eyed." I imagine that in a world like described, much older would make it difficult to keep that trait. I also felt that a simple description would work better than a detailed one so there's more flexibility in imagining her.

Bright-eyed Scholar

Name:
Kirhi Duskglide

Age:
14

Gender:
Female.

Appearance:
Of average height and weight for her age, Kirhi is physically and average human. Shoulder-length, light brunette hair and eyes a slighter lighter shade of brown fit well with her fair skin and lithe frame. She can usually be found wearing a simple shirt and long pants, rarely if ever wearing "girl's" clothing.

Alignment:
Neutral Good

Backstory:
Insatiably curious, from the moment she was born Kirhi tried to learn everything she could. From learning to crawl and walk at a much faster rate than normal to exhausting every book and storyteller she comes across, her mental strength is largely due to her eidetic memory.
Born in a small village in one of the poorer areas of the Coalition of the Shore Folk, her early years were spent exploring and listening to the few travelers who came through. Before moving to the nearby kingdom proper, she finished what education her home could provide at a record pace which was only continued in her second home. Practically living in it's library for the next year, leaving only to hear the tales of those who came through the ports, she absorbed the knowledge of this new town and found herself wanting more. Recently, she's managed to befriend a crew of relatively kind pirates who frequent the town, and has saved up just enough to travel with them in return for her knowledge of maps and navigation.

Abilities and traits:
- Eidetic memory. She can permanently and completely memorize information and stimuli in seconds, making her hunger for knowledge both easily fed and dangerous.
- Beginner-level magic use. She can do very simple from a few of the books she's read, but her knowledge of magic is mostly academic which leaves her with little ability to actually put this into practice.
- Above-average physical fitness. While not overly impressive, she can do more than most of her peers thanks to her understanding of the importance of exercise and self-created exercise routine.

Hopefully that's an okay CS. Very simple and sparsely detailed.

[Mr Rage]

My back story can fit nicely into the Elvin Kingdom of Thoros, actually. Remember the age of 14 is an approximate elvish equivalent. Ein has been around a loooooooot longer then 14 years, and her father could have been deposed at just about any convenient point in history for the story line. In fact, there could be some tension between Ein and Sibraye once she finds out that she is connected to the royal family responsible for her families exile.

Shrugs I guess. If we prefer, I can certainly put some more information together. I'm flexible.

[Cuddle Pot]

Sorry folks, I live in Wyoming and we just got 2 feet of spring snow. Internet has been slow.

@Ojo chan 42 I'll keep the language thing in mind, thanks for making me aware of that.

@Turbowraith I think that is a great idea, and if the others are up to it I'll be more than happy to hear elaboration on these factions. I'll be glad to have your ideas part of the lore of our setting.

@DarkwolfX37 Your character is good, is it alright if every now and again I send you a message giving you certain knowledge your character would have access to? I'll also do the same for everyone else if it seems like their character would know something about the situation.

Alright we are waiting for @MonkeyBusiness to post his character, @sakurasan to make one, and my buddy @Razael to post his.

@Cuddle Pot

Absolutely. I was wondering how that would be handled.

[Mr Rage]

If we wanted a different title then the working title of Terot Characters, we could perhaps go with "The Hand of Fate". Because we are cards, of which a small collection is often referred to as a hand. And terot cards are about predicting the future.

[Cuddle Pot]

@Mr Rage Sounds good for a title.

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

I will draft some lore up about the Wild Gods, Beasts of Legend and the Lords of the Wild tomorrow evening when I am about again and have time.

Note, a bit of ill fortune has come about and my time spent working will be increased this week. So, this will be delayed some sadly.

[Mr Rage]

Makes me nervous, how quite it is here...

[Cuddle Pot]

Just waiting on those faction posts and a few people to make their characters.
I talked to Razael and I don't think he'll be able to join us.
Were still waiting on characters from @MonkeyBusiness and @sakurasan

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

Assuming I have the time to myself tomorrow, it should be little issue. Until then I will be watching the sun set only to watch it rise again after a while of night.

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

Not to post twice, but @Cuddle Pot, you have your message for review and approval.

[Cuddle Pot]

@The Harbinger of Ferocity reviewed your PM and your good, I would put the information in a hider in your character sheet.
Talked to @Razael and he will in fact be joining us. Not to sound like a broken record but @sakurasan we need a character, if you are no longer interested please tell us so we are not waiting. If you need more time please tell us that, so we know. @MonkeyBusiness has talked to me and he's not entirely sure if he has time right now, but he will see.
@Turbowraith did you want to add any information on your player faction?

By the way super excited to start this.

[sakurasan]

@Cuddle Pot Oh my god. I am so sorry. I usually tell people when this happens. I had to drop a lot of RP's so I won't be joining this one. Again, my apologies but this sounds great and I hope it goes great.

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

Given what he have learned, @Cuddle Pot, any timeline you have in mind for the start of this roleplay?

[Cuddle Pot]

Well wait a day or two for Razael and MonkeyBusiness. If anyone wants to do a faction post clock is ticking. Plan on starting at latest Friday, and earliest tomorrow.
