L'estasi di Crediti

@Duck Hopefully you're still around and interested, so I'm giving this a *bump*

L'estasi di Crediti

@Duck That's an accepted character, right there. Nicely done.

L'estasi di Crediti

L'estasi di Crediti

There's war in the galaxy. Battles between Imperial and Rebel forces are raging throughout hundreds of star systems, and no side seems eager to surrender. Life has been forever altered for billions of people on a thousand different worlds. But not here. Not on Tatooine.

Why, you ask? It's simple really. In the eyes of imperials and rebels alike, Tatooine is nothing more than a shithole. A remote shithole, at that, and full of sand. And they're right. There isn't much here to fight for, unless you fancy womp rats or bantha turds as invaluable treasures.

Or if you happen to, say, know of a crashed stolen ship that had something really valuable on it. Something valuable enough to kill for.

One way or another, you all find yourselves on this desolate rock in the middle of nothing, with only one goal in sight: to get your hands on that treasure, no matter what.

And may the force be with anyone who gets in your way.

WANTED:

Players for a game of epic adventures in the Star Wars universe

Think Clint Eastwood on Tatooine. Think lonesome travellers from all across the galaxy, all looking for the same thing, and noone looking to share. Think speeder-chases over the sunscorched dunes, drop-dime blaster duels and perilious prowls through canyons infested with sandpeople. That's what this game is about.

What I'm looking for characterwise are scum and villains in all shapes and sizes. Bounty hunters, bandits, thieves and goons. You know the drill. I'll supply a simple sheet below that you can fill out if you're interested in playing. Format this sheet however you like. Protip: I kind of like fancy sheets.

I'll also answer any questions you might have as best I can.

Character Sheet

Name:
Picture: (voluntary)
Description: (age, gender, race, appearance, equipment, abilities, etc)
Background: (stuff your character's famous/infamous for having done)

Looking forward to playing with you!

The Age of Iron

Doesn't look like Thrashy's coming back. I think I'll bow out of this, then.

The Age of Iron

Right, well if Thrashy is done for good I'll take it over, I was kind of excited to do an RP that it's a space opera or sci-fi deal; or wasn't heavy on the table-top game mechanics.

I want to beat the map into some shape though. It needs mountains.

@Dinh AaronMk

Not sure I'm up for that. It doesn't feel right to usurp someone elses game right after they leave like that. I'd rather wait for Thrashy or not play if s/he doesn't show up.

The Age of Iron

@Golem

If I took an hour mashing something out, it shouldn't be that hard. And really: you shouldn't have to go into intense detail in your application so that it takes a day or more. Honestly, there is some things left said for the IC posts. App is to lay the ground work. you don't build the cathedral in its entirety at the ground work, you build it up from it; that's IC posting.

@Dinh AaronMk

You are clearly the superior writer, then. I can't produce something like that in an hour. I need more time.

The Age of Iron

Hopefully not, since I'm still here. But I know what you mean, will finish this before the weekend's over.

Alfingar

Map Claim

Overview

The Alfingar are native to the north-east and have lived here since before the songs of old. They are a humanoid people but with distinctive traits, such as their pointed ears, cat-like eyes and androgynous appearance. A typical adult Alfing is around 160cm tall, weighs 50-60kg and a life expectancy of 80 years. It also has elevated senses in comparison to most other humanoids. The Alfingar believe in balance in all things and are often considered peaceful by other cultures, although few can match their ferocity when provoked. Their main livlihoods include hunting and gathering, and sometimes animal herding and farming. Although the Alfingar tend to keep to themselves, they are not xenophobic or even isolationalist in nature. They interact with other cultures when they must, be it through trade or warfare. They have however not tried to expand their land beyond the valley surrounding the Fejord river since some of the older songs were first sung.

The Alfingar are a religious and traditional lot, sporting a pantheon of both domestic and borrowed deities. They have no developed written language and depend on other peoples symbols when the need arises. Most of their records are kept through songs, which are taught from generation to generation in order to preserve history. They also lack any form of official currency, relying on bartering goods for goods instead of Money.

Alfing settlements are often small and simple in nature, often consisting of nothing more than yurts but sometimes sporting one or more longhouses. The one settlement that could be described as a town is Logrhus, which lies where the Fejord splits into two. It is here that the First, ruler of all Alfingar, resides. The First is not a queen or king in practice, since it holds no absolute power over the realm, but his or her word is respected above all others. The title is bestowed by a council of elders from all the major families of the realm on an Alfing that has managed to win their favor and meets certain standards in terms of personal deeds and accomplishments. Choosing a First is a long process, and the realm must sometimes endure for years without leadership.

Age of Iron

Nice to see you too Thrashy :)

Haven't got any specifics yet, but I was wondering about religion; should we all worship different deities, or should there be some kind of universal stereotypes and local interpretations of them? Religion is usually like that. Like a god of war, and another of oceans, and whatever. What do you have in mind?

I like vikings. I'm in.
