@UrbanEvolution

Oh dear I seem to have dropped all the shits I don't give! XD It's just fantasy man, it doesn't have to be appropriate for the medieval time period. I don't think I remember the documentary about the living Minotaurs hurling battleaxes the size of children at elven mages using mystical magicks, must have skipped that documentary, because that totally fits the medieval period, doesn't it? XD Look at the fantasy gaemz out there, it's for fun, not for realism. So what if our characters are 6 feet tall, power to us, we're awesome, who cares? Don't try and throw realism into the mix when you have monsters, and MOUNTAIN SIZED BEETLES, cuz those sure as hell aren't REALISTIC to medieval beetles! XD Let us have some fun, let us enjoy ourselves, if we can't enjoy ourselves what's the point in a roleplay that's made for enjoyment? -snip- Also, our characters aren't overly special? BARTLEBY BEGS TO DIFFER WITH HIS CLUMSY ELEGANCE AND AMAZING FAT CAT!

Okay okay! All of y'all knock it off; the boss is home. Firstly, Shade and Nick, you guys need to calm down. This isn't worth flaming over. Ok look, we're here to have fun. Roleplaying is supposed to be an enjoyable experience, but enjoyment without rules is anarchy. Every race has specific characteristics for a reason: because if every race could be whatever people wanted them to be, we'd have fifty-foot Saurians and gigantic fairies running around trampling people. I'm not going for realism here, John, I'm going for standardization. I myself have modified my characters because they didn't fit the criteria of my races. For example, I wanted to make a human baron of Haderlock who had super strength, like Hercules, but that is against the rules, so I modified him and, though he's not done yet, got the best of both world. Now he is a Halforc (though he doesn't know that, between you and me). I can guarantee that you will have fun if you participate in this roleplay, but you need to understand that this roleplay has rules and you need to follow them. Oh, and for the record; while I like having you here and I think Bartleby is one of our best characters, speak rudely like that to my mods again and you can leave and take your overgrown roley-poley cat with you. @Ink Blood That'd be great, but your issue is that there is no magic in your sheet. Golem-making and enchanting count as magic, and can be used in battle, meaning that they take a slot up. Surely this makes sense considering that a skilled golem-crafter can basically build himself a troop of soldiers.

@Maxx

It does. I didn't think it would take up a weapon slot though. My bad. Do you want me to move said skills down to the combat abilities instead of the normal skills section?

Under the Red Sun

(yes I know I said I wasn't gonna be on tonight but I'm a dirty liar and a procrastinator) @Ink Blood Iver needs to be reworked a little. The appearance is okay, but you didn't describe your attire enough; you can provide a picture but you need to describe the picture too. What are the materials that his clothing is made out of? Personality-wise, he's okay, but with the "untrustworthy but also nice" thing you want to be careful because he can pretty easily become an evil mary sue. Might wanna reword that if you're going for "silver-tongued devil". History-wise, the wall has only been up for a little under ten years, so Iver going to the other kingdoms wouldn't have been a problem until about twenty-five years ago when the war between Nepharie and Ostracus began. How long ago did Iver leave Ostracus? Also, magic isn't listed in his powers. If you use magic in this rp, you must specify in the power section (a) that your character can use magic and (b) exactly what you can do. I don't want any "Surprise! it's Gandalf!" moments. Sorry if any of that seemed harsh, I'm just kinda stressed right now IRL. Take your time working on the sheet. The IC is probably gonna get pushed back and I'm not gonna kick you out of you needed time to edit a sheet. If you need any help with anything, feel free to contact me (though God willing I'll be doing schoolwork for most of tonight).

@Maxx

Understood. Also, I decided to not give him magic. I'm not going to use anything I don't put in my sheet.

Under the Red Sun

What about my character, Maxx?

Under the Red Sun

Iver

Name: Iver Thornwillow Age: 97 Gender: Male Species: Gnome Kingdom of Origin: Ostracus Physical appearance: Iver is of average height and weight for his race with the usual coppery skin tone. His untidy curly hair is a rich black color, hanging down past his ears barely. His facial features are very squared, giving him a strong jawline and a permanent look of smugness. He has grown a small goatee on the tip of his chin connected to a soul patch, thinking it makes him look more “suave”. He has eyes the color of sapphire beneath his dark, arched eyebrows. Attire: Iver’s Clothing/Armor is a mixture of leather and cloth. He wears simple clothing so as to not hinder his dexterity in combat, but wears leather in order to add some protection for himself. Iver also has a thick cloth cloak lined with light chainmail around the neck and shoulders to keep him warm on cold nights and to add some defense to his person. His thick leather belt is also equipped with a large belt pouch on his right to carry his burglar tools, coins, potions, poisons, and herbs. Personality: Above all else, Iver is arrogant and paranoid as well as untrustworthy. His arrogance holds no bounds, making him believe he is the best person in the room at any given time; he does nothing to hide this. In fact, he makes it a point to impart his “wisdom” on anyone that can stand to listen to him. He is very suspicious and paranoid of others, being known to be a bit of a racist at times. He doesn’t truly trust anyone, making him unwilling to do anything for anyone else unless they pay him a substantial fee of course. He himself is also a very untrustworthy person. He is out to save his own hide and will do anything to save his own life, even turn someone over to the Red Legion, but of course he would never do that because he wouldn’t trust them to keep their word. Hobbies/interests: Iver is usually seen fiddling with a coin of some sort and enjoys tinkering with just about anything he can get his hands on. He also enjoys gambling when he is able to. Smoking his pipe is also a hobby of his. Skills: Iver is an excellent gambler, being accused more than once of cheating even though he doesn’t. His pickpocketing prowess are unrivaled, as his small size makes it easy for him to slip his hand into someone’s pocket unnoticed or cut a coin purse and vanish into a crowd easily. His hobby with tinkering with things has led him to tinkering with locks a lot of the time, and this in turn has turned into an impressive skill at being able to pick most locks. As a Gnome, he is also brilliant when it comes to enchanting and making golems and medicinal potions. He has also learned how to make poisons as potent as his medicines. Backstory: Iver was born to simple parents in Ostracus as an only child. They raised him as best they good, maybe spoiling him a bit in the process. He studied under his father for fifteen years, learning all that he could about the natural Gnome arts from him in hopes of becoming a great inventor some day. At the age of thirty, Iver had set up a place of his own to work and to learn even more about enchanting and the building of golems. Iver began making golems for the military three years after setting up his own home and workshop and continued to do so for around twenty-five years, but he soon grew bored with his monotonous work for the military, churning out golem after golem for them. It was then he decided to leave his home and go out into the world to see what it had to offer and what he could learn. After resigning from the military and saying his goodbyes, Iver left and went out into the world at the age of fifty-eight. Iver began his journey by traveling around the kingdom of Ostracus to see what his homeland had to offer. He found his journey to be pleasant, if not a bit boring and uneventful. He saw the entirety of his homeland by constantly traveling for five years with his personal golem. Once he had seen all he could of his homeland at the age of sixty-three, Iver decided to go see the rest of the world. Beyond the comfort of the wall and his home, Iver met misery and hardship galore; he was robbed on several occasions by “tax collectors” and beaten and thrown out of inns for being accused of cheating when he wasn’t. His bad luck just grew worse when the war broke out four years after he left his homeland; he was arrested by those fighting his people on the accusations of being a spy for the Gnomes, and his golem was destroyed piece by piece and studied. Iver was held captive until the end of the war; he was tortured, nearly starved, and interrogated regularly over the course of the nineteen years he was held. When the war finally did end, instead of being freed, Iver was sold into slavery; he was now eighty-six years old. He remained a slave for six long years, passing from master to master. His first master was some noble, who decided Iver would make a wonderful little sideshow jester for his guests. Once he became displeased with Iver after two years, the noble sold Iver to some plantation, where he spent another four years of his life. On the forth year, Iver managed to slip his binds and escape into the night. When he did escape, he fled into the forests and was soon lost and would have starved if not for a tribe of Centaurs finding him and being kind enough to feed him and take him in. Iver heard from the centaurs that his people had constructed a massive wall to block out the rest of the world except for the occasional Dorak and Centaur traders, otherwise anyone who was not a Gnome would immediately captured and interrogated on the suspicion of being a spy. The tribe offered to take Iver home as they would be going there to trade with the Gnomes soon themselves. Iver denied the offer and left the tribe. After leaving, Iver traveled on his own, staying away from large settlements for a while. A year after leaving the tribe behind, Iver managed to make a new golem from stone instead of metal. It has now been four years since Iver constructed his new golem. With the added security of his new golem, Iver has started exploring larger settlements without fear of being captured again. Family: Relationships: |Name of person|one-word general impression | relationship to said person |Thoughts on the character| Weaponry: Iver wears a short scimitar horizontally on the back of his belt, a dagger strapped to the left side of his belt, and two knives hidden on his person. Abilities: Iver’s small stature makes him difficult to hit, especially when he employs his dexterity and agility to dodge around blows as well as parry with his sword. He also has the ability to go about unseen and unheard. Iver also has the magic of his people to aid him in times of need, granting the ability to create golems, enchant items, and make strong medicinal potions. Weaknesses: Besides the natural shortcomings of his race, Iver is also very arrogant and overestimates his own skills at times. His small size hinders him in combat, making his reach short and his strength something of a joke. Companion: Iver has a golem made of stone to accompany him, carry their supplies, and act as a bodyguard of sorts should the need arise. Other: Polaris

Don't eat me. I don't have your ring.

Under the Red Sun

These Gnomes are like Hobbits though, and I like Hobbits. They make awesome burglars.

Under the Red Sun

Why? No one likes the Gnomes?

Under the Red Sun

I was mainly reading the OP and trying to think of what race I wanted to be. I think I've decided on Gnome.
