Bio

I won't write much here.

  • I teach violin for a living. And I'm not taking on any new students right now.
  • I'm romantically involved.
  • Most of my statuses will be about the above two, venting or gloating. Unless something addresses you directly, it's not about you.
  • I don't feel comfortable saying my age, but if you're really that concerned, I'm the same age as Shostakovich was when he wrote his most ridiculous opera.
  • I am a fan of the Wheel of Time, and am working on an RP which will take place during the Trolloc Wars. If you're interested, join. Note that even people who have no idea what on earth WoT is can participate in the thing.
  • I am from and currently live in Charleston. I can see the Two Rivers from my doorstep.
  • I am currently unable to type properly, so I apologize for that. It will make a lot of my responses late, and has already caused a lot of my responses to be late. I have semi permanent splints on my pinkies and thumbs: silverringsplint.com
    • I will try to respond IC on time in all of my RP's, however, until my finger issues are resolved, the OOC and PMs may be late, by days... or weeks. Sorry.

PM me if you want to talk about anything, I'd love to chat.

@Gareth We don't (or at least I don't) know much about the history of the Seanchan; so their class structure and society will remain the same, as will the damane system. Besides that, I don't know. It's really up to anyone who wants to play a Seanchan character.
@Gareth Just be aware- Mordeth is confined to Aridhol/Shadar Logoth, though he does have influence on the Shadow forces coming out of there. And as a vendor, you'd probably want to control a second character, as I see no reason why a vendor would be involved in battle.
@Gareth If you're asking if you could make a vendor, totally. If you're asking if you could make a guy that's so disgustingly evil that not even the Shadow wants to deal with him, then you could totally play Mordeth.
@Sergeant Think of it this way- most of your posts and interactions will be just you, as a player character. 90% of your posts will be you controlling one guy. The other 10% of your posts will involve battle- and 90% of those posts will be your character's actions. The other 10% of those 10% of posts will be you detailing what the rest of your character's faction is doing.

This way, I don't have to act as God and tell you what's happening at every part of the battlefield. You guys maintain creative control. By doing this, we can actually get a sense of the fleshed out battlefield, rather than a 1v1 perspective. It'll both keep in the spirit of Jordan's style, and it will allow us all to think with more strategy.

tl;dr: The only times you will control a faction will be during battle.

(I'm making these numbers up, btw. I have no idea what the actual ratio will be, but it will be along a similar tangent.)

@POOHEAD189 I've got all the WoT books, including the extra info ones; we should compare notes.
If you want to play an Aiel, the max you could command/control is one clan. I'm definitely willing to allow liberties- the only restriction is that you cannot

The Aiel suddenly appearing would definitely cause the Shadow forces to retreat if they could, but that's not always an option- it would more likely cause a fight to the complete demolishment of one side of the battle.
Any idea when we can begin writing up our character sheets?
@Sanctus Spooki Cairhien, a nation that will not be founded for several centuries yet.
@Sanctus Spooki Definitely not daily, but at least once a week. Post length should be around 1,000 words, for the quality I'm expecting from you guys, and that's too much to expect on a daily basis.
@Gareth It's ok! By the end of the war, all of these kingdoms were completely demolished by the Shadow, and new nations were rebuilt from their ashes.
Here's a better list of the different factions one might control. I'm not going to make filling each of these roles a requirement unless diversity becomes a real issue here.

The way it works: You play a character, yes, but you also control a faction. This might be a small group of fighters, or it might be an entire goddamn nation. It's up to you. Even if your character has no real power in their faction, you will control what happens in that faction. If your character is the commander, all the better- you'll command your forces, but it's up to you to decide what they're actually going to do.

This will be reflected in the character sheet design, which I'm still developing.
