Is it ok to make a character sheet? Is an OOC coming up soon?

The Djinni Return -- interest check

I'd like to bump just because the website bugged out after I posted this. Some more details around the RP: You'll start as a slave to a minor lord in al-Rayyat to be liberated by the powerful sorceress Suhaila, who claims to be the Djinn Goddess of Rebellion who has returned to overthrow slavery in the empire. Many slaves continue to worship her and the other Djinn, having awaited their second coming for thousands of years. Suhaila certainly has the power of a goddess, but her ruthless nature (She is also the Goddess of Vengeance, after all) leads to you question what you're fighting for.

I'm up for a collab whenever.

The Djinni Return -- interest check

Thanks for the interest, a few more and I'll make the OOC. @Dead Cruiser I also said it drew from Islamic religion; the culture and empire itself will mainly draw from historical sources such as the Sasanids.

The Djinni Return -- interest check

Hello, I'd like to introduce to you an interest check for a fantasy RP I'm rebooting from another site based on pre-Islamic Arabia, drawing from ancient Islamic, Christian and Zoroastrian religion and mythology.

I have a very long background for this nation, and I will type it up properly if there is interest. The basic setting is as follows:

My Hider

Long ago, there was said to be a great pantheon of gods, the Djinni, who were born from the sands itself. They were present at the fires of creation; ancient beings who personified the world, and created man. Dhula Raja was a Djinn, but due to his nature as God of Fealty, Obedience and Slavery and he commanded the other Djinn to serve him. They refused, and he went to war with them. Man took the side of Dhula Raja, and with the help of mortal armies the other Djinns were killed or sealed forever beneath the deserts. Dhula Raja rules alone as the god and protector of mankind.

The Faithful of Dhula Raja, his Champions, went out and created an empire for themselves, al-Rayyat. al-Rayyat is the greatest empire the world has ever known, spanning the entire continent. Most of the nation is comprised of deserts, with various Oases making up the cities and population centers. On the will of Dhula Raja, the Empire also is a slaving power. They say that there are ten slaves for every free man in al-Rayyat, kept together by the harsh military forces, the secret police and slave-based economy on which everything operates.

Many slaves, however, refused to worship the God of Slavery like the freemen do. They worship the Djinni of Old, yearning for the day they return and set them free.

That day, it appears, has come.

You are a slave in servitude of Sheikh Yassam, a minor but particularly cruel master. One day, a woman enters the Sheikh's castle. She claims to be Djinn Suhaila, the Goddess of Subversion, Rebellion, Murder and Vengeance. And she has conscripted you and every slave present to form the beginning of a rebellion against the most powerful empire history has ever known.

This RP will be heavily story-based, with themes focusing around moral shades of grey, religion, slavery and rebellion. You'll start the game a slave who is pressed into service by this Suhaila. As you are among the first to serve her in her rebellion to overthrow slavery in the empire, you will quickly rise in the ranks and serve as her close advisers.

If everyone continued posting, then yes haha

I'd be interested as well.

I mean, any detail at all would be appreciated.

The Elder Scrolls: Rage of the Waves

@Macro Any idea when tax season is in TES? Not sure why, but I have the sudden desire to see Berch help Faruq with money advice before the game is through. Maybe he can help a knight save for retirement?

@Lo Pellegrino

Can't imagine that'd go down without Berich financially abusing Faruq, but let's give it a try!

The Elder Scrolls: Rage of the Waves

When Maulakanth acknowledged Berich, the small man felt his innards get tingly. "Although you may not be able to picture it, there exist talents that can be used off the battlefield," Why did you say that?! Don't sass the giant, idiot! "I know how to make a deal, and I assure you that will come in useful. I may even be able to find a shirt your size; obviously succeed where you've failed." Stop it, man! You're killing yourself! Berich chuckled half nervously and shuffled off before he could be squashed.

A half-smile fell over Berich's face as he observed everyone talking, bickering and colluding. He had to admit, there was something exhilarating about being a wanted criminal, on the road, off on a quest to break into a lord's castle. Of course, he wanted to return to his normal life at some point. I hear Alinor is wonderful this time of year, but I hear tell of the Altmer committing those purges against all non-Elves... so that might be a no-go. I could always go to one of the Khajiiti kingdoms. No Imperial authority, and I could get in on the Moon Sugar trade. That would be an... acceptable future, of course that is only if I can't arrange a pardon in return for the Emperor's gold.

Berich was particularly proud of how he handled that little fiasco. Emperor Meade gave Berich's bank the entire budget for Imperial presence in Skyrim next year -- wages for soldiers, armor, weapons, and food for employees, and so on -- to invest and grow in various businesses around Tamriel. Berich was able to turn the money into something else... something that suited his needs more precisely. And now, the Emperor is facing an economic disaster in Skyrim. It could have all been avoided if Berich was made Councilor... but at this point, he'd settle for just being able to return to his businesses. At least until the Dominion finally invades and has him executed...

"I don't think we need to sneak anywhere, but that's just my opinion," Berich responded to Finch. "There are a few constants that you need to learn in life," Berich announced to anyone who would listen. "One of the most obvious is that everyone has a price. If we find the jailer who is keeping this young man, I might be able to convince him to hand over the prisoner. I'm very persuasive like that. Gold would help too, though. And we'd need to find the local brothel, of course. But assuming Camlorn is like literally every other place on Nirn, they have gold and whores ready to be used to suite our needs."
