Mr Rage, here!

You shall fit well here.

Waeldeshore: The Wars Beyond [DISCONTINUED]

No bones to pick for @vietmyke or @Jon Y. Both look quite solid and ready to go to Char to me :)

High-Fantasy Mystery Game?

I think that one character at a time would be sufficient, but if we are worried about deaths then we could pre-plan to have three characters in the wings to take over. Just like a DnD campaign, your character dies? Oops, oh look here is your cousin Bob here to take over. But also, this leads to another meta-gaming situation. If someone's character is killed, it would presumably be done by the culprit or associated with them. We could all read said murder, and we could then act off of that, whether our characters saw it or not.

I personally would stick with one character and one character only, makes it a much more risky situation. You have to survive and detect smartly, you know you are on the trail of a murderer you can't make any stupid mistakes and jump to any wild conclusions without proof. If they all die before figuring out who the killer is, well then, the murderer gets away with it. A realistic scenario, makes a way for the murderer to get away with it and 'win' too.

@Mr Rage

Sounds like a good idea... if executed right (but then, that applies to everything on this site...).

Beyond this, are all the players private detectives that have been brought in by the local governance to help out the constabulary, sleuthing for our own personal vendettas, or are we all working for the constabulary? Or shall we make this just a part of our individual characters backgrounds?

@Mr Rage

I'm liking the idea of personal agendas. Makes us all have so much more trust for each other.

Supernatural: Wayward Hunters and a Shitload of broken Seals

For the best, I suppose. This is dragging on in a very unhealthy way; besides two posts far from each other, the last post before that is a month old...

One character many Role-players

"So, Kal, mind telling me what exactly happened? Judging by the cheer in the courtyard, you either announced that your men could go wenching, or you were successful in your mission. So? What happened over in Helcomb?"

Kal leaned back and sighed. The Turnips, the Yelb... the statuette. He decided to simply not mention the statuette for the moment.

"Well, the Turnips proved to be of very little trouble and went down quickly. The..."

He scratched his forehead absentmindedly, with the words he had forming in his head vanishing as he grew distracted by other thoughts creeping in his head. Statuette... Alexandria... do I hear something downstairs?

His father leaned forward, putting his arm on his knee and his head in his hand. "Very good. Something else?" He gave his son a questioning look, noting the empty word at the end.

"...the... town recovered very well after the bandits were gone."

"Did you get along with the ladies?" his father gave a wink.

"Yes indeed." Reindolous filled in when Kal left the question with a silence.

"Yes. Sorry." Kal repositioned himself in his seat to regather his composure. His attention was plainly being eaten away, but by what? Why couldn't he keep his mind on the subject at hand?

"Have a drink, son." As Reindolous got up to find the wine in one of the room's many chests, the king leaned back and looked at Kal not without a little concern. "Hard trip back, I suppose?"

"Not that bad, actually." Kal finally made some words come out. "We met some Yelb on our way back, but... not much happened otherwise."

Reindolous shot Kal a questioning look before opening another chest and sifting inside, the distinct noises of clinking glass coming over a few seconds later. Kal didn't know why he felt it necessary not to mention the statuette; it seemed as though he was almost compelled not to mention it.

The king smiled and said with a light tone as Reindolous came over with a wine bottle and three glasses, "Well son, it seems like your mission was met with full success. Great work. Now-"

All heads turned when a high pitched scream came from downstairs, followed by shouting.

One character many Role-players

Alright, alright. I'll see what I can slap together...

High-Fantasy Mystery Game?

<Snipped quote by ArenaSnow>

That's entirely a possibility. I'll keep it in mind.

<Snipped quote by ArenaSnow>

Agreed, those are pretty plentiful already. It could also lead to another Dangan Ronpa.
...Not that I mind that either; it is an interesting series. I'd like to keep my options open for now, though, and see if we can make something a little more our own.

<Snipped quote by Karos>

I gotta agree with Snow on this one. I've been in a couple of games where the layouts were too disorganized and unplanned for anyone to function, so we'd definitely need a solid, organized map for this one. I do really like this idea, though, so if we can get a map to work with, I will seriously consider this.

Actually, any location would probably work best with at least a basic map. Anyone know of good places to generate/borrow maps from? I'll admit now that map-making is not my strong suit.

@YamiCuoreLaroux

One possible idea for a map is to use this, screen capture it, bloat up the size in <insert image editor> and work from there.

This could help make up some of the details if ya need them for ^, or even with another map.

Other than that... all I can really refer ya to is google. I'm notoriously bad with images and the like...

As for the one character thing...I guess anyone who gets ousted could be allowed another character, but I'm not sure what to do if someone dies in the middle of a round. Would it be alright to just introduce another? We could keep the policy as one character at a time, but depending on the circuit, I wonder how awkward it would be to get them in.

@YamiCuoreLaroux

I'm wondering if a cap of 3 chars would be alright; assuming said player can keep up with them all. That could migitate the loss of one character.

From there, I suppose it would be a matter of working out with you beforehand how to best integrate into the story with a new face, especially if a player has one char and that char dies.

Waeldeshore: The Wars Beyond [DISCONTINUED]

Known information about characters played by ArenaSnow goes here. Select a hider to see more...

Stuff will change over time, especially following a post where I introduce someone or something.

I use "he" a lot from habit. If I'm using vaguespeech, it could be either way.

Demonic

Zargon & Company
Zargon's a name known to anyone who has heard of the events of Waeldeshore and is described as being a massive, powerful demon with command over many other demons. He is considered by many academics a massive danger and can use a wide variety of powers; some have claimed he can even see any place in the world he wants, although this is doubtful and most likely just rumor (although more learned academics would say it is a possibility). He dropped off the radar after engaging in a losing battle against the original heros of Waeleshore. Said heros would feel a very familiar presence if his taint is around...
OOC: He was a primary antagonist of the previous Rp. Will he return? Maybe. If he does, just be careful.

Chandon
To original heros in the town of Waeldeshore that witnissed the fall of Artholath, the only mention of him is "Damn you Chandon" as the demon fell. Those with knowledge of ancient lore associate the name Chandon with a demon known for being mysterious, holding some degree of high end power (specifics unknown), and being a destroyer of old knowledge. Guessed to be a high end demon, but not confirmed, even by many demons. Most people simply don't know the name at all. Ancient demon lore says he has the powers of higher level demons, can shapeshift and can teleport. An old lorebook that some sages and high end magic users have old copies of describes him as taking the form of a female with one human blue eye to the left, with the right eye being a shifting mass of grey with a red center. One distinct ability he is said to have is cloaking; concealing his demonic power completely so that others around cannot tell the difference.
OOC: He was mentioned in the last RP. It is possible he will have a presence this time by extension.

?

The Necromancer
Little is known about him (her?), save the tales of undead swarming towns to the southwest and rumors associating various guessed identities of rogue necromancers and mages with these swarms.
OOC: Not the focus of the roleplay... right now. He's pretty far south and the Jarjestys Magi has already sent mages to combat him, so it's not your fight. Although that isn't to say it couldn't be.

Angelic

Aldur
It is said that the archangel Aldur from ancient legends came to Ioannes and gave him the Mark of the Third Order, said to be the last angelic blessing given to any mortal. Ioannes was a man who helped save the town of Waeldeshore from destruction at the hands of Zargon who proceeded to revolutionize the governance of Giray and help set the course for a shifting of power. Ioannes then proceeded to vanish 10 years ago... and hasn't been seen since.
OOC: You? Meet an Archangel? It's like asking if you're going to be struck by lightning during the course of the roleplay... hmm. Maybe that wasn't the best comparison in a roleplay with demons and mages and magic.

Kaephael
Kaephael was an angel that according to legend fell to corruption and was banished, and has been wandering the mortal realm since. Another legend says this same angel lost his sword... somewhere, and has been looking for it for thousands of years and cannot return to the angelic realm until he finds it.
OOC: Just legends. Who says I can't put legends into a post that has all my main characters in it?

Magi

To be made known. Soon.
