Chronicles of the Crimson Sea

Hi everyone. Things have gotten busy around here and I need more time to complete the OOC. I'll be back with updates, stay tuned.

@Elgappa Sounds fine to me!

The Blackwood

Well that was a quick character. Also please check the character sheet section for info on currency (forgot to add that).

@POOHEAD189

Will do! As for the quickness of character creation, I got inspired and went with instinct. I hope you don't judge based on speed alone!

The Blackwood

Alright, here goes nothing!

Sylvaine de Vermeille

Sylvaine de Vermeille

Human (Vrettonian) | 30 | Female

Appearance

Sylvaine is 160cm tall, with a wiry, athletic build. Her shoulderlength hair is a rare jet black, her eyes emerald green; features that raised more than a few brows during her upbringing. Her skin has marks of combat on it, nicks and scars that Sylvaine does her best to hide. She typically wears comfortable, durable clothes of wool and leather, and is seldom seen without a sword on her hip.

Personality

Sylvaine has that somewhat deadly mix of absolute charm and severe narcisism that tends to make people misjudge and underestimate her in social interactions. Her warm and inviting veneer can change to indifferent ruthlessness in an instant, and very few ever see it coming. Her greed and lust (especially for power, but pleasure will mostly do) knows no bounds. She is an unpredictable friend at best, and a twitchy snake of an enemy at worst.

Background

• Mercenary/Bandit/Assassin (Optional)
• Commoner
• Father was the commander of a company of sellswords and died a drunk beggar, mother is unknown and presumed dead.

History (Optional)
Sylvaine always was her fathers girl, and took his customs and those of his company right to heart. Life on campaign is hard, especially for a little girl among ruthless men, and so she had to become ruthless herself. She first learned how to hide and steal, then to lie and decieve, and finally to fight and kill. Every vice or dark deed you can think of Sylvaine has done, or at least considered. She left her father to die when he lost command of the company and turned to drinking, and took whatever possessions of his still worth having with her. The road is her home now, wherever it may take her.

Motivation
Sylvaines goals in life is to take what she can, and give nothing back.

Chronicles of the Crimson Sea

I figure we've got enough people to boot the game up. OOC incoming sometime this weekend, stay tuned.

Chronicles of the Crimson Sea

So would we all be like small empires/tribes near each other, or like city states within an area like greece or would it be any form of empire-tribe we can be?

@LordZell

So, in short: high concept greek-ish city states interacting in a fantasy mediterranean.

@Duck

Chronicles of the Crimson Sea

I am interested and I already have the inklings of an ideal.

A matriarchial culture that settled on the Crimson Sea after a lengthy migration. Probably with some Phonecian or Hebrew flavor depending upon the other expies in roleplay. Do we have a discord, yet?

@Principality

Sounds cool! We do not yet have a discord, as I want to wait for a little more interest before I commit to this.

Chronicles of the Crimson Sea

Hello everyone!

I'm thinking of starting an NRP set in a fantasy version of the ancient mediterranean city states. You know, triremes, hoplites, togas and the like. The "fantasy" extends to a sprinkling of nymphs, centaurs and other suitable fantastic flora and fauna; we will primarily play as human civilizations. The fantasy is there as spice, nothing more.

As far as nations/city states go, I'm more interested in the concept than military numbers or intricate political systems. You will not have to explain your entire economy or every detail of your foreign relations - in fact I urge you not to. Let us explore that together in the RP.

So, in short: high concept greek-ish city states interacting in a fantasy mediterranean.

Map incoming once a little interest has been garnered.

Let's play!

The Blackwood Chronicles (WIP title)

This sounds fun! I'd like to make an application, if I may.

Our Children of the Thassalocracy

So, anyone looking for a little corsair-action? Maybe thinking about hiring privateers, or fancy being the victim of a pirate raid? Just to get things rolling, so to speak.

Our Children of the Thassalocracy

@Dinh AaronMk I was just being silly, no sweat. I'll start working on something as well!
