Hellbent

Thanks guys, I don't know why they just seem a bit more...complete will a full name.

Hellbent

Three women? that's a first.

@Apokalipse - I will be giving priority to the people who inquired in the Interest check, I just want you to know that if more of them join I might want to close this off. If not though you will be accepted.

@Chapatrap - Accepted. Rather large excerpt but it was good to read. I like having a foreigner in the group! It's not really all that important but could he get a surname?

@Monster - Accepted.

@Rtron - Accepted. That writing example is what I would consider a really good post length, for anyone's reference. Even a paragraph less would be great. Also, as with Chap, any chance you could get a surname for your character?

It's looking good so far, I think we are missing the joker of the pack to lighten things up from time to time and tie everyone together, but great jobs all around so far! Based on the amount of interest I'll be wanting five people. There are three accepted and three still to show up from the Interest check, with one ready to fill in.

And with that so begins the OOC

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Introduction------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello and welcome to Hellbent, a tale of sell-swords and Necromancers. This will be a character driven dark and gritty role-play, hopefully with some playful wit thrown in. I'm looking for probably 3-5 people to play a group of mercenaries that will be hired by the Baron Tygrim to go out into the wilderness to collect a mans head. I'm looking for High-casual standards, I would like between 3-5 paragraphs per post any less is not really enough and any more gets tedious to read, at least for me. I like quality over quantity.
In other news this will be a low fantasy RP your characters will not have any magical ability nor will they be used to seeing it, they cannot tackle rhinos to the floor but instead will bleed out to sword wounds etc. Your human, act like it. I will not be forcing death on anyone obviously but I like it to be a possible outcome, if your character does die then feel free to make another but with the small size of this RP I'm sure it will be heavily discussed beforehand. The technology level will be medieval era, not so much full plate all round but leather and chain armour etc. I'm sure you get the idea.

If any of you were wondering I will not be playing as your fellow cut-throat. I will just be using NPC's and generally...GMing and, stuff. I'll at least try to steer you all down a cool and hopefully original story-line. Oh and feel free to suggest ideas, I'm not actively looking for one but If I find someone on the same wave-length a Co-GM would be nice.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Plot-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Being a mercenary your quite used to travelling from city to city. Whether your finding new contracts or cashing in on existing ones, none of you are strangers to the 'ins and outs' of the job. As fate would have it you find each other in the same city. Embedded into the mountain-side is the impressive city of Persk. Tall stone towers watch over the bustling hub of civilization. Walls are covered in white and blue, the colours of Persks patron. At first you do indeed think it odd to find so many others with whom you share a profession, gathered in the same place at the same time, but it soon dawns on you that the reason you personally came here will most likely answer the question.
An open invitation! to any and all mercenaries who find themselves in need of a contract, and whom can swiftly find themselves in Persk within the next few days. The Baron is in need of good men with fighting skills who can accomplish any task set before them, anyone who answers will be handsomely rewarded at quests end and will forever find themselves in the debt of Baron Tygrim.

A book, no, Tome was stolen from the Baron by an unknown person and you lucky few are tasked with its retrieval. We have a small amount of information as to where to find this person but for the most part you will be by yourselves. Of unknown origin and equally clouded intentions this man has been labeled as a traitor to the Baron and his household and you are permitted to dispatch him in any means you deem necessary.
Whilst it is not imperative it is greatly suggested that you each work together upon this quest as if this favor is completed quickly your rewards will only be greater.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Rules------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1- The boring bit. No god-modding or manipulating other peoples characters etc etc. You know the drill, just don't be a dick.

2- I am the GM's and as such my decisions are final, whilst I don't mind people voicing their opinions don't drag things out into arguments with me as I will have 0% tolerance. I try not to bite but I will bite back.

3- Have fun, hopefully we can make something really cool. I would like this to last for a while.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------Character Sheets--------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Name -
(Self explanatory)

- Appearance -
(A picture is fine but a small description would be nice. Please no anime, try to find serious pictures.)

- Personality -
(A window into what your character will act like among the other Mercenaries)

- Excerpt -
(I would like a small 2 paragraph taste of what your writing style is like, I'm looking for good writers who can really enjoy using their characters as I think that will make this RP successful)

-- Mustafa al-Everir -- Chapatrap --
-- Espen Dwyn -- Monster --
-- Alice Curnow -- Rtron --
-- Blake Hammond -- Bweoti --
-- Jagred Degray -- RedDusk --

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Map--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the map to the land the RP will be set in, I'm not good at editing images in the slightest and that's why it has pre-existing labels on it for land names etc, if any of you who enjoy image editing would like to lend me some help in the map modification if would be greatly appreciated (also with the banner up there ^).
Anyway for the RP the city of Persk will be situated on the western front of the mountainous spine in the middle of the map, the part that almost makes a little alcove. That's where you begin.



----------------------------------------------------------------------------The long and short of it---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Act 1, The Path is laid --
The rag-tag group has been given a contract by the Baron of Persk, they must travel into the wilderness to find a man whom has taken something that does not belong with him. Collected together at the inn and ready to depart in the morning. How will they fare?

I know, I just worry that it won't come as easily as others would. I worry a lot though. In any case I'm willing to try.

I'm sure you will be fine.

Rtron said
It is like any other RP. The only difference is the fact that things that aren't possible are possible(or in the case of this RP, what people think isn't possible is possible.)

Some of you might think it's possible, I guess it depends how religious your characters are. Either way you get the idea.

Bweoti said
Definitely in. I like more realistic based games rather than high fantasy. Am I to assume that there are tales of magic and magicians, just never set eyes on them ourselves? Similar to the tales of Merlin, King Arthur, and the Knights of the Round Table?

Not those specific tales as I would prefer a completely original universe, but yes there will be legends and myths galore. Whilst this is leaning towards realism, there will be some magic and monsters for you all to fight. I would say that the 'low-fantasy' applies to the known world, but the RP is to take the group into the unknown. If you see what I mean.

Rtron said
I'm in.

Monster said
I'm interested in this as well, it looks promising. I'll definitely be watching it.

More to the ranks!

P.S - I'll probably wait for a couple more people to show interest before posting the OOC. At this rate that will probably be tomorrow it seems.

Great. Thank you.

Interesting concept. I'll show my interest but I won't fully commit for the time being.
