What attracts you about an interest check?

@Sierra I mean, my current thread was, beyond me flexing my aesthetic muscle, also an attempt to get those people to not write me by just acting like an asshole. It definitely didn't work, but I also didn't grace them with replies. Unfortunately, they seemed to be the only people not responding, probably because all the people that did put in the effort probably realized I was being a massive douche.

Also, don't fall into the trap of writing the interest check as it if were "in-universe". Keep an outside perspective talk about your RP, don't show me a slice of the world you want people to play in and have them dig through that to find whatever it is you want them to find.

"This Rp will be in a fantasy world where people have fish for hands. Figure that's a fun setting. Will have some more info in the OOC." Not "GHeihewhfh, has a deep history, and within it, countless wars have been fought between the countless races, in the end, the FHOOHFEH won, killing all other..." Or, at very least, if you have the "in-universe" stuff, do not put it in focus, and do not expect people to read it, so if it is essential for your rp, re-post it in the OOC.

@SmokeDragon

This is an interesting one! I never even thought about this. I suppose that the key is that the 'in universe' intro is best saved for, well, the IC?

@Sierra all good points to consider that I don't really have an answer for at the moment (you went pretty in depth). Thus fair, going 'straight to the meat' is something I'm hearing a lot which is something I'll have to consider for myself, since I generally do not do that (mostly out of a belief that going straight to the meat also invites strangers into my PM's who are, perhaps, not up to the standard I set for myself). Time to reconsider that I suppose.

I don’t mind if you don’t mind — I’m sure our people will get along 8) I can also move mine if you like, there were a few other locations I had in mind!

Circle marks the spot.

Also, yeah, that's the reason I fell in love with Azgaars. You can import maps in it too, so you could've imported a handdrawn map, I think, but it'd be harder. It making heightmaps, rivers, biomes, and even allowing you to draw in factions is nice, but I'm not sure whether you'll be using that since it possibly limits you?

Time for another NRP!

@MonkeyBusiness the OOC has already started — I’d link you there but I’m on mobile and cba, but follow slyboy’s profile and it should lead you there.

I was actually thinking that animal races makes perfect sense because humans, too, were once animals.

RACE NAME:

Common tongue: Heathfolk
Native language: Heidevolk

RACE PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION:

The Heidevolk are a race of slightly above average sized humanoids, of which the females will reach approximately 5'9" in height, and the males 6'4". They enjoy protrusions of keratin (commonly called horns) from their head -- two on their forehead, two directly above the forehead horns, facing downwards, and two further back. These horns can be either straight, curved or curled. Their hair is typically blonde, although black, brown and dark, burgundy red hair is also prevalent - just in smaller quantities. Their eyes, however, are all a deep yellow circled by black sclera. This gives them a distinct appearance when contrasted with their generally pale skin.

POPULATION:

12

RACE BEHAVIOR:

Generally speaking, and lacking any real developmental progress in their establishment in the way of history of culture, the Heidevolk are thus far sedentary in their living and rather communal. The limited time span in which they've been sapient means that there is not a whole lot of data to go on, but thus far the Heidevolk have proven to be a peaceful race that prefers to work together to achieve a higher goal -- however, make no mistake, when a Heidevolk is or feels wronged, they will take it very personal and keep a grudge for as long as needed -- forgiving and forgetting is something that the Heidevolk are not particularly good at. As such, it could be said that while the Heidevolk intentions are generally good (if wary), once the threshold into crossing the Heidevolk is breached, returning from it will be no easy feat.

HISTORY:

Boink.

CULTURE:

Boink.

TECHNOLOGIES:

• - Basic Tools
• - Fire

Not my first choice, but I suppose I can give up my dreams of tiny mice riding tits into battle in favor of having something that works a little better.

@jimapple I was planning on doing a bunch of forest animals under 1 collection term, but doing it when there are a multitude of animals around would just make it seem like I'm trying to get as many people under my banner in one go. I've already found an alternative, though.

I want you all to know you've made this very difficult for me by picking animal races. >:^(

Thanks for the @!

Does anyone have concepts for what type of race they want to do in mind yet? I want to avoid doing something similar to what someone else is doing, so I'd like to avoid duplicates if possible.
