Good place for a fantasy fan. I'm not 100% certain what the difference between modern fantasy and fantasy is. I'd assume modern fantasy is a little more grim and a little less magic-y, but maybe not.

Suggestions of folks to look at,

JB - mostly Warhammer RPs, sometimes 40k (SciFi) and sometimes Fantasy
Poohead - mostly Elder Scrolls RPs, almost always hs at least one going

Sometimes TGM or Selune/BCTheEntity do Fantasy RPs as well, although often they do SciFi

I tend to stick to Advanced, which is where those people I just listed mostly write, but there's some good stuff in the Casual section too.

Letter Bee has an Interest Check out for a Game of Thrones RP.
I've got a Bannerlord RP (fictional world medieval setting)

There's also one from Lord Wraith set in the Redwall setting. Sort of medieval fantasy but with mice and rats and shrews and moles and stuff instead of people. I'm not in it but I'm steady monitoring it. Soft spot for cute little animals with swords and shields and stuff.

Anyway Welcome!

It's a pretty solid RP space. It can take awhile to find your niche but it's a big place and a solid format.
I had more fun last Saturday than expected and so was shot out over the weekend. Couldn't get a RP post up but I'll add something over this next weekend. My weekends are S/Su/M these days, so by then.
Sure

Ah, local Fight Club Competitor it is.
Aye
Title is more like whether or not you are a Noble or a Commoner.

Tavern Brawler is more like a Career. I'll change the CS around a bit. I shouldn't have listed Mercenary and stuff under Title.

Really it's more like a hobby though. Is the Tavern Brawler guy like a bandit, or a mercenary, or a farmer, or a blacksmith or something. How does he make his money? That's the career.

- What You Need To Know -


Seven years ago a man named Arcenios was declared the Emperor of Calradia by the Calradian Senate. In the years that would follow he would bring a fearful people besieged at all sides into prosperity, re-establish his borders, and restore the reputation of his Empire. His victories in Battania, Sturgia and Vlandia were celebrated without the torment of the vanquished. The folly of the previous Emperor was corrected and the lands taken were brought into the Empire rather than drained of their resources. Their cultures were permitted to persist rather than being smothered. Arencios was respected both at home and abroad for his decisive leadership and uncommon empathy, but it was his absolute opposition to corruption that brought him admiration.

He did what so very few Emperors ever do. At his strongest, after a long and terribly successful campaign and when global conquest seemed all but certain to succeed, he disbanded the Imperial Legions. There would be no further grand campaigns. There would be a most uncommon thing, peace. The Legions would return to their homes where their Archons would be responsible for their upkeep and the defense of their lands. Not all of the legionaries were happy about this, but the Empire as a whole was. Most of the continent was. He spent the next three and a half years traveling about The Empire, protected by his very own Vaegir Guardsman, working to solidify that hard-fought peace. Finally, he returned to the place of his birth.

Arcenios returned to the South of The Empire, to the great fortress of Lycaron, to rest. He had much to celebrate.

This week marks the halfway point of the Fourth Year of Peace in Calradia, a continent with a long history of war. It is also a celebration of the Fifteenth Birthday of the Princess Ira, only child of the Emperor and Empress.

From across the continent and beyond peoples once at war, some still with long simmering resentments, have come together for many reasons. From each nation they come to assess old enemies and to kindle those very same long burning resentments. They come to seek alliances. They come to make connections in far off lands that might benefit their trading caravans. They come to marry off their sons and daughters and strengthen their family name. They come to see this great Emperor and bring him their gifts, their requests, or their curses.

They come to fight in the great tournaments, for fortune, for fame, for booze, for women, or because they saw no other plausible way to improve their station. Some just came for the food. Perfectly valid reason.

Birth Name:James Howlett

Codename: Wolverine/Logan/Patch/Weapon X

Age: 80+ Estimated

Gender: Male

Appearance: Subject is 5'3 and 300 pounds. Much of this weight being derived from his Adamantium skeleton. Short, well-muscled, hairy, often angry. Long hair and sideburns make subject stick out but when subject shaves those away it can be difficult to track visually.

Personality:
Subject is resolutely resistant to controls. Responds well to leadership and mentor roles but resists any longer term assignments which would include schedules and limit ability to travel. Subject responds poorly to authority. Subject questions orders publicly, disobeys order, dresses down subordinates and superiors, and will occasionally walk away from posts and duties without a word of explanation. Often into the wilderness, definite preference for Canadian wilderness.

Subject seems to desire company of others yet often will depart from that company to go dwell alone for extended periods of time or seek new company. Subject displays great long-term loyalty but poor short-term loyalty. Often best method of re-acquiring subject is to acquire those associated with subject and provide a trail of crumbs. Such actions require authorization from the highest levels due to inherent high level of risk entailed.

When acquired can be controlled for short stints of time through combination use of carefully controlled substance exposure and psychic or other mental blocks or insertions. Subject has built up resistance to these methods due to repeated exposures and proximity to Subject Charles Xavier.

Extra/Notes:
I particularly like two versions of Wolverine. The street level vigilante bits where he is chasing down murderers and kidnappers and human traffickers and that sort of stuff OR the stuff where he is acting as more of a mentor and less of a weapon to be used. My intention at least, if I can stay on point, is to sort of combine the two. This version of Logan is tired of being used. Tired of the people he puts his faith in turning out to be monsters. Professor X and Hydra/SHIELD in particular. I have a particular interest in the concepts of mortality and what eternal or wildly elongated life would mean in practice. So yeah.



History:
Spent a lot of time staring into that abyss. Sometimes wasn't the only one looking through my eyes. France, Germany, Africa, Japan, Viet-fuckin-nam, Madripoor, Mexico, good old US of A, Canada of course. Shed blood all over the world, bled a lot of it too. Seen all manner of cruelty and evil, come to the conclusion it, Evil, ain't some alien thing from Hell that reaches out to us every few decades. It's a thing that lives in all of us, some more than others. God knows I've got enough of it in me. Ol' Kurt Wagner taught me plenty 'bout that.

Stare into that abyss and it stares back at you. Me and it we old friends. Very old. Ain't no spring chicken anymore. Body still is, but the shit takes its toll. Wonder sometimes how we do it. How we keep on pushing year after year, decade after decade. More than a few of us been doing this for generations now. Run into folk I've been friends with or enemies ta or both for longer than most folk get to live. Plenty of folk tried to help or tried to stand in my way. I took plenty of their lives, those that tried to stop me, and just me being me ended up getting plenty of them that tried to help me dead. Plenty more of them just wilted, like people do eventually. It's like them Kansas fellas said, Dust in the Wind.

I can't see myself just sitting by while bad things happen. Not in me. But maybe I can stop being such a damn ass about things. Stop running out on friends first sign of them caring a little too much. Got kids to think about, them that don't hate me and ain't tried to kill me at least. I can hope for redemption for them that do want to kill me too can't I? Nothing says I can't. Maybe this old dog can learn a new trick. Maybe this short hairy mutt can even make up for the dark old days.
