Neato thread going on here, I'll be posting as a human civ on the river vallies if that'd be fine with y'all.


Excellent! Humans! Go for it bro

Edit: After reading your post I can't help but wonder ... Where did you come from? Your people haven't been here on this continent ever before, so they must've left their former lands for one reason or another.
Also when you say river vallies do you mean the forking rivers in the central-west?
We are the proud Saurian Race!!
Long life spans, scales for natural defense, as good as reinforced leather armor.
Resistance to poisons.
Higher than average muscle strength X 3 than Humans.
Natural pain tolerance of x 4 than Humans.

Weakness:
Anarchic Heavy penalty. It will be hard for them to thrive in numbers greater than the thousands. This will force them to disperse across wide distances. Eventually this can be weakened, but maybe never totally done away with.

Aversion to Cold: They suffer in the cold. At the temperatures of 20 degrees, it's like -5 freezing to them, weakening their immune systems.

Early Generational Vulnerability ((Immune Systems)) Trying to enter new places will be harder for them than other races. They face having to endure a weak immune system which means endangering entire families, maybe even tribes since they will have to be constantly on the move. Should they enter some colder areas in the world, it can be lethal to the entire tribe.

Minor: Stalled Technological Progress: Having to move around, which forces diseases into the tribes, at least at first, will slow technological progress. ((With some exceptions that come with being Nomadic)).


That's much better. They still seem overpowered in terms of strength and endurance but at least they have weaknesses now. I'll approve it.
Also... Do they look like reptiles on two legs or what?

Edit: Actually, can you describe their appearance? How tall are they? How big? Color? Fangs? etc
"Fine, I admit saying 'miss' is pretty lame. And you're obviously very upset." he looked at her, his grin completely gone. "I've heard what my kind has done to your people. So you have every right to be upset."
He lowered his blade, finding it suddenly rude to hold it pointed at her throat while having a conversation... No matter how many insults she threw at him. Luckily the water was deep enough to cover his privates. "Also 'shrimp' am I? Sure, insult my privates. I bet it doesn't make you feel very big and strong now does it?"
But then again... Merfolk didn't really need to wear pants underwater did they? "This may come as a shock to you but humans bathe naked." he nodded, trying to look like a smartass. He was just playing, of course. He usually made jokes when he was in dire situations, it's just the way he is. When noticing her face turned completely red, he wasn't sure if it was because of pure rage or embarassment of the entire situation. "Look... If you wont pounce me again, I'll put away my sword and sit down, alright? We can have a conversation. I'll put some pants on." he said, that last bit a bit comically.

Without really waiting for a response on that, he took a step back and climbed up on the ledge where his clothes were lying. Keeping his eyes on her, he put some pants on quickly. Sure, it was enough time for her to pounce him again seeing as she was a natural at sprinting in water, but for some reason he didn't think she would. He didn't doubt her guts and he knew she was furiously angry, but for some reason he just thought to himself that She's upset at something, and she's venting it out on me. As long as he wasn't the source of the rage, she wouldn't hurt her. At least, that's his theory.
"You're free to leave if you want. Or you can stay and I'll put away my sword and we'll have a talk. Afterwards, you can do whatever you want." He sat down on the ledge, pants on and the sword in his lap.

He had completely filtered out all the insults by now. He was intruiged by her. "Tell me about your singing blades." he said kindly, deeply interested in what sounds to him like a legendary swordsman's tale.
I'll write one when I get home from work. Will be in about 2 hours.
It's okay, no rush man :)
Advanced the IC!

Edit: Forgot to mention COLORS in the IC! adding to post...
When arriving at this new land, some of you travel further and some of you settle where you are. But where?

((Try not to fight over spots))



The Ironborne Legion:

You are stoic, strong dwarves of proud heretage. But what clan of Dwarves do you originate from?

A) Whitebeards
- Great dual-wield warriors, adept at slaying different monsters such as trolls and ogres.
B) Ironbeards
- The greatest smiths in the lands, capable of crafting anything. Are very sturdy built and withstands quite a punch.
C) Goldbeards
- Excavators, adventurers, explorers and miners. The goldbeards are very good at scouting and discovering locations, or spy on their enemies.
D) Blackbeards
- Great twohander warriors, adept at wielding giant weapons into battle, and are also the best siege engineers around.
E) Redbeards
- Great dwarven magicians, sorcerers and runemasters, adept at controlling magic and the elements.
F) Brownbeards
- The strongest builders and masons the world has seen, the brownbeards are capable of constructing mighty fortresses that are almost impossible to penetrate.
G) Longbeards
- Common name for a clan which has a mix of all kind of dwarven beards. Is average at everything, but cannot achieve quite the height as the more specific breeds.

The Elves of Lumen:

You are fair, magical elves. But there are different kind of elves upon the realms. Which one are you?

A) High Elves
Known for their great magical prowess of all kinds and their spiritualism. Their skin is fair and their hair blonde, their eyes glowing yellow or white. The greatest mages and wizards are these.
B) Wood Elves
The greatest rangers and the best hunters of all elfkind are the Wood Elves. They are known for their ability to befriend any animal and their druidic powers are considered the best. Their skin is fair and their hair brown or ginger, their eyes glowing green or blue.
C) Dark Elves
Feared for their powerful weaponry and armor and the best footsoldiers of all elfkind, they bolster their ranks with powerful shadowmages wielding dark powers, sometimes necromantic.
Their skin is pale and their hair black or white, their eyes glowing purple or red.
D) Folk Elves
This strange breed of elves are known for housing every kind of elf in their presence, effectively become the most diverse and average elf breed, with potential to become adept at everything the other elf breeds can do combined, but cannot reach quite the same height than a specific elf breed.

Custom Races:

Await approval before chosing a spot. You need not choose a breed/clan like the dwarves and elves, because you are a custom race.
Only listed races have different pre-set breeds.

Next:

Choose a color to represent your kingdom. May be any single color. This matters because the settlements I put on the map will have text bordered with the color of your kingdom, so that players and non-players alike can see what settlement belongs to who.
Additionally, write the name of your new settlement! What shall be the name of your new future?
How about Saurians as is, EXCEPT medium reproduction (Meaning less than Humans at eighty percent) a minor intolerance to cold (worse than other races) and increased aggression at very high temperatures? (a conditional diplomacy, charisma penalty) For example, living in mid nineties temperatures would make them seem just fine but once it's 105 they're a little grumpy and at Arizonan like temperatures of 115, they need to stay calm and only congregate among friends, lovers, and family?


Average/Medium isn't 80% of humans... since humans have average reproduction. And I feel like their "charisma" penalty is way too conditional to bring any real balance. Bring out a real weakness or two of this race and I will approve it (like incredibly vulnerable to fire or that their infrastructure/tech sucks so bad they live in huts).

<Snipped quote by KaiserAuto>

Yay! I was trying to find a new nation rp after my main one died (RIP Stardust: Andromeda T_T), so I chose this one. Hopefully we get rolling soon :)


You're on the thin line between ok and one weakness too few but I'll allow it.
I'll advance the IC in a minute!
da plot twists! *-* da drama! da conflict! yeees
Balon frowned as the girl remained quiet whilst he demanded his questions. All except the last one, that is, where she retorted with an angry remark. He realized she had a point. "I would remove the blade if I trusted you to not pounce me and try to take my sword again. Alas, you already eliminated that trust." he looked at the stack of clothes and the second sword on the rocks in front of them. They were all messy now, un-neatly stacked. He grimaced, but shook it off. "Blades do not speak." he said grimly and at first thought she deserved a little knock on the head but seeing as she clenched her muscles, bracing for impact, his hold of her softened. "I would put away my blade, miss, if I had any clothes on to hold the scabbard." he said, relaxing somewhat but still holding the blade close to her throat. "Relax. I'm not going to hit you. I don't hit women, but don't try to escape or I will hurt you."
Hopefully, that threat would work for now. He really had no intention of hurting her, he just wanted answers. He would never allow the dictator's ilk to stalk them to this island, but it seemed this girl wasn't.
"You have heart, girl." he said at last, commenting her "I'm not afraid of you" line. "I know what you are. You're a mermaid, aren't you?" he sighed, shoving the girl away from the swords and released her. He still held his blade pointed at her, and his second sword was now safely behind him, with the girl (hopefully) in the pool in front of him. "I know what you think. You think that we're here to hurt you." his eyes showed compassion, for he sympathized with her. If she was a mermaid, that is. I mean, come on, how likely is it really? "Do you truly believe that, though? If I wanted to hurt you, wouldn't I have done so already? Wouldn't I have taken advantage of this entire situation if I was so vile?"
He paused for a moment, but then suddenly grinned.
"And I'm not a scumbag. I'm just a scoundrel."
For a custom race, how does a bonus to strength and size, a minor bonus to magic, a heavy penalty to technological capabilities, and a minor penalty to reproduction sound? I'd have just posted it in the Ic, but I wanted to make sure it was balanced.


Sounds good to me!

@ActRaiserTheReturned You have no weaknesses. I cannot approve this race as is.

Could I make a Goblin race with the following 'stats'
Low Strength
Average Technological capability
Average diplomacy
High Reproduction
Low Magic
High Speed
Low intelligence
Low morale
Small Size
High Cunning


Works for me!

Heads up!

Due to me being bad at informing you lot and some people posting in the IC that ends up having to be edited anyway, from now on you will require approval in the OOC first.
