Why does saying "I love you" have to have so many romantic connotations? There are so many people I love in a way seperate from anything romantic. <3

Bio

A thing that will die after eating rat poison

But really, a guy that likes to RP. Not too keen on sharing personal info in my bio, but after I get to know you, I may open up a bit more in regards to certain things.

I have been roleplaying for most of my life, but forum RP is newer to me than tabletop. I wanted something to do to kill time without putting wayyyy too many hours into Dark Souls 3.

I love music, historical fencing and re enactment, making shit, and just being cool with people. Talk any of these things with me, and you'll be cool with me. I have very strong thoughts on sandwiches. Ask if you dare.

Here's a list of cool people from this site that are just cool people that I enjoy talking with, and a quote from each of them. In no particular order, here they are:

@Goldeagle1221
"What the shit?"

@TheGrundlesnart
"Don't quote me."

@MissCapnCrunch
"Rodent is a little shit, I want to beat him up but in the most loving way"

@Rultaos
"If you're feeling unimportant, always remember that every protagonist was an NPC before their most important story began"

@iTem
"haha yeah"

@Sirkaithethird
"I'm just running an aux through my amp, Playing Van Halen at 05:50"

And that's that. There's not much else I feel like saying. Here's a list of bands I like (to be made soon)

@rush99999 Oh, good question! So part of what the Old World left behind are these colossal skeletons of all different shapes and sizes sticking out of the ground (No, not dinosaurs). Some theorise that these were left by some kind of animal that had clay for bones. They can range from towering ribcage looking things that tower hundreds of meters high, to fossilised fan like bone structures barely larger than a fingernail.

As for the here and now in the world, there are rumors and sightings of 8 foot monsters with smooth, cracked skin and hollow faces that roam forests, and small dogs with chicken heads and long, spindly limbs. There are other reports, too, but they're less common. The sources for these rumors are credible.

Regular world animals all exist, just for ease of writing.
Mid fantasy, but not Tolkien fantasy. The fantastical elements revolve mainly around what scholars call Enigmas, and fully understanding these. Magic will require both studying and pondering said Enigmas, so basically mages are natural philosophers. How you discover them and what they do... Well they're called Enigmas for a reason ;)
(PM for more info, only mage characters should know anything else)

I haven't considered fantasy races yet, but I don't want Elves, Dwarves, Trolls, Orcs, Goblins, Hobbits, etc., because they're kinda used as a crutch in my opinion.

Overall, everyone has the capacity to do magic, but because of the education, study, and mindset required, it's fairly rare. On average, about 1 in 100 people know a low tier spell, 1 in 250 have 5 or 6 spells at a middling power, and 1 in 1000 are as powerful as what we'd call a mage, with tens of spells at their disposal, some possibly taking days to complete.

Banned for also not bringing quote up to speed.

Banned because I missed some stuff.


You didn't miss much, dude, so banned for thinking you missed more than you did
Alright guys, this'll be a short and sweet check because honestly fuck being all formal in ICs. I wanna be pals with the people I RP with, so casual language/formatting just feels more right.

Preferences aside, I've been wanting to do an advanced intrigue game for ages now, but the thing is that I don't have time. And I still don't! But I have time for a Free one. Weird free, though, as I'll be expecting advanced levels of writing in short and concise posts. So proper English skills, colourful language, and *real* characters, as opposed to... shit ones.

I was kinda skeptical of a free intrigue RP at first, but I thought about it more and now I think it's not such a bad idea. You're giving away less info about your plots per post, and you're interacting with more players. In my opinion, both of these could really benefit an intrigue RP.




It'll be set in a post ancient world, similar in nature to how I imagine it must've been after the fall of any of the great empires of history. New Kingdoms rise and fall in the place of older, more advanced ones. People make it their business to study these walls that go up to 20 meters high, when they can hardly build walls three meters high themselves. Metallurgists ponder over why this strange, malformed shiny stuff is harder than their pretty and well formed shiny stuff. Nature is reclaiming the old world, but it's only a matter of time before the new people replicate this ancient technology.

As players, you'll be working towards your individual goals with the appropriate amount of zealous vigor in a semi sandbox world. Kingdoms rise and fall in the span of months, and only the most ruthless survive. As players, you can choose whether you want to play in an established state, a failing one, or a fresh upstart, but that's some time away so let's not worry about that for now.

As a GM, I'll let you do anything, so long as your character has the influence or ability. Can't say the other players will let you do things, though ;)




Let me know your thoughts! RP is a collaborative medium, so I'm more than happy to take suggestions on board :)
Banned for recognising the needless aggression
Banned because there's no such thing as normalcy, and therefore it is not boring
