LaConranne's Academy

@ErosSense I'd like to be a Talent Facilitator (also colloquially known as a "Potential Unlocker") my character, and others like him, would have small classroom sizes (about 7-10 at a time MAX, sometimes only 2 or 3 at a time).

Also, @leopard wcue, I like your gender fluid character and the idea that they "snuck" into the academy, but as @ErosSense mentioned, that would be way too hard to do, being surrounded by brilliant staff members that may even have abilities that could potentially be borderline telepathic. But perhaps they only THINK they snuck into the academy. But the mysterious headmaster and all need-to-know staff members actually know what you've done or figure it out rather quickly, but they don't say anything. Perhaps they don't kick your character out, because this sneaky nature is part of what actually makes them belong at the academy.

Thoughts???

I like your characters, and I assume you are going to edit your first OOC post soon with some more details on the setting and lore, expanding upon what you briefly mentioned in the interest check?

I will have a character sheet read in a day or two max. 💯

LaConranne's Academy

You'll have to give more details, maybe describe an opening scene or common area that new characters could play off of in their opening posts.

Also, you have two people already (myself and @leopard wcue). You may consider moving forward with just that for now and making an actual thread for this where you can go into more detail. Maybe create a character of your own as a character sheet example.

I've started with only one other person before, and if the writing is good and the story is interesting, people will join.

LaConranne's Academy

There is real potential here. I'm sure you'll get more interest soon. 💯

So I think that I'm not going to add anything new after all. Everything I've said up to this point is my general stance, but I'm not going to imprint my vision upon your RP any further. Take your time and I'll be ready to make a character sheet once you've kicked off the thread!

If you have any questions or need any specific advice, let me know. I'd be happy to help, as I'm sure any long-time member here would as well. I'd even hop on as CO-GM if you'd like, but I don't want to spearhead a new RP yet.

@ErosSense,

Okay, so I think I'm 100% in on this RP if you have flexibility on those topics. I'd like to think on them more and make a proposal for ways to potentially improve / clarify them.

As far as the school structure, just keeping it simple, I'd see it split into three phases. Phase 1, strengthening your Primary Category(ies) and identifying which Secondary Category(ies) you may excel in as well. Phase 2 would be refining your skills to the highest level achievable by normal means and identifying your "hidden potential" (changed from "true potential" because I think "hidden" sounds cooler). Phase 3 would be training your "hidden potential(s)" to explore their fullest. Once a student has mastered their "hidden potential(s)" they would graduate.

What do you think about that structure?

And if it isn't obvious, I would like to be faculty member in this RP. lol. I could also make a student character if you don't get many bites.

May I ask a few quick questions before deciding to join this RP. It might be up my alley.

First, what is the difference, by your definition, between "intellectual vs. academic" and "creative vs. artistic". Specifically, why is "academic" not included within "intellectual" and "artistic" included within "creative"? The way I see it, there are only three major categories: "Intellect, Athletics, and Creativity". For example, "Creative" + "Emotional" could equal an "Artistic" affinity / speciality.

Second, can we add a bit of magic into the mix? Well not magic exactly, but how far can we push their abilities? Like, can we take their athleticism, intelligence, or etc., beyond what is humanly feasible and into the realm of fantasy (without going OP of course). I imagine that in higher grade levels at this school, they unlock their "true potential", which is an ability that pushes what was previously thought to be possible.

A Return to the RPG

Hi everyone!

I'm a long-time member here, but life has been life, as I'm sure most of you can understand. I'd like to get back into a roleplay, nothing too heavy, casual roleplay or even a free roleplay. I'm looking to post about 2 to 3 times a week, with 3 to 6 short paragraphs being my max.

Can anyone recommend an RP that fits this cadence? It can be an ongoing RP that is easy to join (one where I don't have to read a short novel to get up to date). Or it can be a new start-up RP. I could even make one, but it would be a pretty generic adventurer with a simple leveling / power creep system.

Content wise, I'm not super picky. All I want to see is some action, adventure, and slice-of-life elements. However, I'm not looking to join a fandom specific RP. Any generic / original adventure, in any setting, is great by me!

Thanks everyone! Glad to be back!

<Snipped quote by Balthazar007>

Hi,

I did look at the main thread and some of my questions derive from that. If something is explained and I missed it, I apologize.

The character I'd like to play would be a half-elf (human/elf) that is studying to become a Druid. The concept is based on the D&D interpretation of a Druid, magic and changing shapes into animals. Of course I don't expect a character to start with any of those abilities and would love to work towards it in the game. I just want to make sure I match my expectations/plans with what the reality of the game would be.

Is there a detailed breakdown of the stats? Again they look identical to what D&D portrays and that's where my mind instantly goes, I just want to make sure I am on the same page.

Lastly, if the general concept for my character is acceptable I would love to work out where they could be from and why a Druid might by traveling about.

Thank you for your time!

Oh yes, a druid would be completely okay. Anything you could make in D&D (and more) can be made here. Ultimately, this is a sandbox RPG, in which you tell me what you want to accomplish, and I build locations and missions to accommodate those desires.

So you can start in one of the already established locations, or if you had a different idea for a location, I would be open to hearing it. Also, if you want to DM me with all the skills / abilities you're working towards, I can start thinking of missions that would include those as rewards.

Hello!

I love the sound of this and would love to give it a go.

I do have a character in mind, but would have a a few questions in regards to character creation.
