The Night Terror of Emulis (Dark Fantasy RP)

@Neo Is Delight Thanks for the clarification. I will admit that I just rushed through his weapon section as I'm still debating on his inventory. Don't be concerned about being bitchy - at least with me. I'm always open to constructive criticism.

@AngelofOctober Awesome! Thank you for enlightening me on that. You'll have to forgive me as I am obviously out of my depth here. My intention was to have a very basic skeleton of each race and allow rpers the flexibility to expand on them through their characters. For the sake of a casual RP, it's mainly why I didn't specify who and what are all the monarchs and nobles, as it will allow players the chance to create their own and not feel overwhelmed or obligated to use already established ideas in the genre.

Basically, there is no set culture or standard for every race and I will allow as much creative freedom in that regard. Inconsistencies might be abound, but that can spark a level of diversity that we can play with in our interactions together.

Edit: I have to sleep and will be working throughout the week but will try to frequent here as much as I can and answer anymore questions. I am very much in support of collaborating ideas. Goal is to start by the end of the week.

@AngelofOctober That all seems to fall in line with the general idea I had in mind about them. In terms of the complexities behind superior-sounding vs rudimentary, can you give specific examples?

The Night Terror of Emulis (Dark Fantasy RP)

@AngelofOctober I don't have a set concept for that. I'm open to suggestions.

@AngelofOctober Well, being a swordseeker is not desirable -- as a matter a fact it is specifically for the undesirable, at least now it is. Why join them? It's the most lucrative option for people that have criminal histories or for whatever reason are unable to enlist into the Tocratian armies or are looking for good paying mercenary work.

Tocratia is primarily human. Roviat has an equal playing field with race. There's as many human monarchs as there are elves and dwarves. Elves and Dwarves get along much more better than Humans, especially since the Tocratia takeover.

@AngelofOctober No, your eyes did not deceive you. I haven't added that part in , but the enlistment isn't anything crazy. Being as corrupt as they are, the Swordseekers will ask for a hefty fee or something of significant value in order to apply, then weed out the weak through an intense boot camp which eventually leads to the first trial. Applicants either pay the fee or they're referred by people of high stature like military personnel, monarchs, or nobility (The Swordseeker advisory board prefers this as they often ask bribes or favors from those types in exchange for the applicant's entry)

@ManoftheNorth That sounds pretty badass actually. I'm willing to roll with it. It'll be considered taboo in Roviat, but the Grandshield will likely say that it was trained to be obedient vs revealing to the public that it is possessed.

The Night Terror of Emulis (Dark Fantasy RP)

@ManoftheNorth We are definitely still accepting.

I symbiotic/non-lethal possession a thing in this setting?

If it's meant to be in tandem with a beastman (like an intellectual spirit taking control of it), I'm willing to consider that. Keep in mind that this type of character will be heavily scrutinized since those types of creatures are hunted regularly and don't function in normal Roviat society.

@AngelofOctober Yeah, that's cool with me!

The Night Terror of Emulis (Dark Fantasy RP)

@Durnehviir Just one for now if that's ok -- unless the secondary will be played as an NPC/support to your primary, then I'll allow it.

@AngelofOctober sweeeeeeet
