Out of curiosity, is the illuminous's weapons and stuff old-world tech? It seems that it would be

Nope, they're actually from a city (Arenious) that has some crystals that are used as an energy source. This has led to some technological advances but those for the most part have been discouraged by the very powerful church in that city. (Similarly to the Catholic Church during medieval times) a representation of their home city can be seen here in this banner/icon,



The tech isn't the safest either. Since it's not supposed to be made the conditions and resources are less than ideal so sometime it breaks...or blows up

Alright, I explained stuff in the character sheets. It's pretty damn long so prepare for some reading

Alright thanks for those, both characters are accepted though I totally picture the old man as having spider legs since he seems to live like a trapdoor spider. Or like this guy...



Either way both characters sound awesome and I'm glad to have them!

Yay!How do I start?

At this point just sort of jump in and introduce your character how you see fit. Once that's done we'll see if we can give everyone a sort of goal to keep the roleplay going.

I don't think I'll be using the crossbow guy now, because I can't come up with a good story for it but still, I got some other characters instead.Kreiss would probably give quests to do with defending a place, or some kind of army stuff, you know how army guys are.The Old Guy would probably give quests investigating nearby ruins and also maybe bandit loot caches and stuff like that.

The second character made me laugh really hard "age: old?" and seems quite fun but he's a bit iffy. Since there are so many unknowns about him it's hard to say if I can accept him or not (and also f this were a submission for the actual Project Shadow it would be sent back to you since the artist couldn't draw something not described) So see if you can make him remain mysterious without being so much so that he's an issue. (also nice idea on the hole because game wise it would mean you didn't have to pay for an entire building to be drawn, just a hole and sign)

The first character, Kreiss seems like a good one. First time someone wrote their abilities in a way that seems very game like and in a way I can picture being in the games. That being said there are some issues.

1) You state he can move quickly but yet one of his abilities involves carrying five shields around that he can launch. That's very much heavy. (Either that or they appear out of thin air which is a bit too much magic...unless once again he was lifting them from somewhere)

2) The second ability is a bit confusing, the shield blocks and heals but is somehow weaker than a normal shield?

3) Some typos and such (You called the White Cross, White Knights. Some of the characteristics seem more like a thought than a characteristic, and so forth) nothing bad enough to keep the Cs from being accepted just needs some work.

Overall the old man needs some more specific details and Kreiss needs his abilities touched up a bit and clarified how they work.

Good job and I look forward to seeing both of the characters one day make it in Project Shadow

Alright, edited my CS. Hope it'll do, but I feel like I could've explained it better.

Accepted :D

I'm also thinking of putting up a character, but I need to know something firstHow high is the tech level here, because I want to be a faction captain juggernaut with dual repeating crossbows that interlock into a shield

Not too high tech but The White Cross have been venturing into old world tech so I would accept the idea you have there 1) Because of what I just said, 2) Because faction captains are supposed to be badass

She is heavyset and curvaceous, weighing around 200 pounds. Her hair is frost white, thick, and kept cut to her chin. Her eyes are a brilliant amber, wide and usually gentle. Her clothing is typical for a feminine human woman in Urbi Lupi, but Kassy adds to it a scarf to cover her hair as well as a pair of darkened glasses to attempt to shade her eye color. While she is a big woman, she carries herself with a definite timidity, as if she is afraid to exist.Height: 5'9''Weight: 200 poundsHair: WhiteEye Color: AmberSkin Color: Dark brown/ White fur with silver tonesTypical Clothing: Casual- A simple shirt, a skirt to the ankles, short leather boots and a small, round medallion that is imprinted with the phases of the moon. (The different phases have different depths in the metal.)Fighting- Tunic, shorter skirt with thick leggings, calf boots. Medallion tucked inside a plain shirt, no sleeves. Heavy wooden staff a foot taller than she.Characteristics:- Soft spoken- Maternal- Fearful of others- Wise beyond her years- Intelligent- Defensive of those being bulliedSkills: 1. Staff fighting 2. Silent movementTraits: (Non combat related skills/talents)1. Interacting with children 2. Understanding of people's motives (Psychology)3. Earning trust from people4. Herbal medicineShort Back Story:Up until the age of 8, Kassandra had a happy, quiet life. She and her parents lived in a small cottage, where her mother was a medicine woman/healer and her father a scribe for the nearby town. Her lycan mother was working very hard on a medicinal cure for mange, as so far there had only been temporary relief that did not work for severe cases. While it was a goal with a personal gain, as she was suffering from the disease) she had a dream of being able to cure her lycan cousins from suffering the painful fate. Unfortunately, despite many treatments that prolonged her life, Kassy's mother was killed by mange before ever discovering a viable cure. Kassy's father was stricken with deep grief. He stopped working, stopped eating, and was unable to care for his daughter. He dropped her off at the hope of his sister in law. Kassy has not seen him since.Christine always hated her older sister; even though Kaia had been born a lycan (a freak, to her), she still garnered more attention from their parents for her brilliant mind and determined will. When Kassy was suddenly dropped at her home, the old hatred returned. Christine shamed, bullied, and abused the child for being a 'wolf-blooded freak' like her mother, and over the years crushed the girl's spirit.Kassy took what little she owned as soon as she was old enough, and fled the house. She makes a meager living as her mother did, making medicines for others. Secretly, she also tries to realize her mother's dream of curing mange.I am now realizing that there are like 2 white wolves already. I can give Kassy a different shade, or some darker trim to make her unique.

I like the character, accepted :D

I just wanted to mention it because you mentioned them, but the Norse had an anarchistic society for about 300 years. They basically were ruled , which is what I based the city on. You could sell a claim to a crime against you, and if the criminal didn't pay you back for the crime against you within a few months, they were outlaws. It was then Tortuous (could be sued for it) to defend the outlaw, and it wasn't tortuous to kill them and take their stuff.

nice, kind of confusing but cool

Looks good for the most part, couple comments though before accepting...

-"Has dog ears because he doesn't know he can and sees no reason to do so." it seems like part of the sentence is missing because that doesn't make sense as is. What does he not know he can do?

-"his lycan form is a small white dog." it would be okay if it seems like a small white dog because he's a young boy, but he can't change to a different type of animal than everyone else because they're all based on the same breed of wolf DNA.

-"Is gifted with ice magic but also has an affinity with cold. Doesn't feel cold, susceptible to warm weather. Has control over ice." I would like more details regarding his magi as it could easily become an issue. Magic is just one of those things that's needs its boundaries otherwise you could destroy everything XD

After that's taken care of I'll accept him.

Also for everyone else here's a map of Novus Anima (we're focused on the northern regions for now, the southern regions are barbaric and will likely be a similar setup to the Norse vikings of the past)

This looks pretty interesting. I'm toying with the idea of an amnesiac. Could I do something like that?

Don't see why not

Some music to enjoy as a theme to one of our characters...

My apologies. >_< Things have been damn near psychotic at my house, so I haven't been able to concentrate too well. I have all the basics, but the backstory.

Sounds good. Also here's a cool little graphic explaining the "broke ass" system as I like to call it which lets you build a character over time. And the basic creation process as well.

Hey guys, been gone for a bit. Really busy with my day job and working on the site. Currently trying to make the animated background be less blurry XD


So yeah been gone. Doesn't seem like many people have posted though. Might end up just having to restart this at a later date when I have more time to dedicate to it. Not going to call it dead yet so hopefully people come and join.
