An RP section with no open text-based roleplays? This. Will. Not. Do!

I started this Rp long ago when I was new to text based stuff, and, until the forum died, it was the most successful RPG on the site. I'm reincarnating it here, you can read the original here for ideas (there were some good 'uns) but this is to be considered a different setting from that one.

*Ahem*

Setting: (Alright, I’ll try to make this as brief as I POSSIBLY can) This is a world where Magic and Technology are on par with one another and exist harmoniously so. The human race(no-magic-average-Joe) has become an endangered species. The majority of sentient life on the planet are comprised of every variation/rendition of EVERY mythological creature race (i.e. one vampire dies in the sun light and turns into a half-bat while another merely doesn’t like light and becomes a shadow- and that’s perfectly acceptable!) Pure humans, however, have one distinct advantage. They are the only ones who can activate an ancient and powerful technology (characterized by orangey-gold metal and bright neon blue light)… by touch and thought to boot.

The underlying theme here is "balance." Every great power has a weakness, every powerful creature has at least another that can put him in his place, and every measly has his day in the spotlight Other than that, anything goes- be and do what you wish.

RULES


I don't think I need to say most of these, but just incase...

1. Literacy. Proper grammer is required, but I'm forgiving of mistakes if I know what you mean.
2. No Godmoding or puppeteering. this may be hard considering what people might be playing as. Just remember to respect the rights that you share with other players. And that for everything powerful in this world exists something that can negate or rival it.
3. Humans are literally 'no-magic-average-joe'. The fact that they cannot use magic is part of the reason their race is doing so poorly and is the trade-off for having access to the forbidden technology ( known as Ch'ait)
4. I do not view mythical gods as being the same as mythical creatures. Characters can reference or beleive in gods, and players can rewrite them as lesser beings. But to have gods and demi-gods physically manifested as the all powerful immortals they are, has sparked a lot of controversy. Please be careful in their use.
5. PM Me your characters and I'll put them up as soon as possible.
6. Only use OOC Type if it is relevant to all players and possibly characters. If you wish for something to remain secret or are adressing an individual, use PM's.
7. The only rudeness I will tolerate is between characters. If you cannot respect another player you have no place here.
8. The TOS says to keep it PG-13. There's a lot that good writing can work around this but if I see a post that looks like it may traumatize someone in their teens, you'll be asked to remove or change it.
9. NPC's are free for all to use unless you specifically say otherwise. Think of it as the best way to have some indirect help when the other characters are too busy
10. Your imagination can run wild here. Mind the bystanders and bumps, but put the petal to the metal when it's for creativity. You get to make this world too.

User Name: FireSpark
Character Name: Miklós Ahton
Gender: Male
Age: 48
Race: Minotaur
Appearance: User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.
Miklós stands at 7’5” tall, and weighs in at well over 750 pounds, although anyone who would think him overweight obviously isn’t looking very closely. He sports a gold plated nose ring, carved with runes. In addition to the traditional garb, weaponry, and equipment (as shown above), Miklós is particularly fond of grenades and high explosives. As such, he is typically seen with a large grenade launcher (similar to the M79 but larger of course), and a bandolier of grenade rounds slung across his chest, each one banded red (for high explosive) or black (for fragmentation).
Brief history: Like most minotaur, Miklós’s place of origin is a closely guarded secret. However, from the time that he was deemed old enough to walk among the other races, he has dwelt on the outskirts of society. Like many of his race, he found himself most at home on the fringes of civilized territories. Close enough to benefit, but far away enough to not be bothered by it too much. His initial line of work was as a guide and game hunter in some of the wilder lands, but of recent he has been working in the cities, hiring himself out as bodyguard or extra muscle. The money is a lot better than that to be made with wandering in the wilds.
As of right now, Miklós is looking for more work, though he has more than enough stashed away to be well off for a while. Having had enough of being somebody’s meat shield, he is considering moving back out o the fringe areas.
Personality: Miklós, like many of his race, have relatively short tempers. This not to say that he is the stereotype of a raging barbarian savage, but he has little patience for fools and others that would waste his time. Miklós comes across as blunt and brusque, but doesn’t care much for what people think about him, so long as they don’t simply dismiss or ignore him. Also unlike the savage stereotypes, Miklós is quite intelligent and thoughtful, which has lent itself well to his current form of occupation.
Main Theme:

Name: Tan Cudyll (pronounced Tawn Keedill)
Gender: Male
Age: 473
Race: Phoenix. He normally takes the form of a human dressed in reds/blacks. He must nest once every 100 years to re-birth. Wielding the powers of Life and Fire, Tan finds himself weak against ice and water. As such, he is rather phobic of large bodies of water.
Appearance: This is him as he normally appears, just with out the wings. This particular picture would be of him switching forms.
User Image
Brief history: Tan Cudyll is a wanderer. A solitary creature in general, he still has an insatiable curiosity. Having found more comfortable climates relatively boring, Tan has left behind the deserts and volcanoes he grew up around to learn about other parts of the world. He still must return to a volcano once every hundred years to go through his re-birth.
Personality: Tan is usually quiet and thoughtful. He is most likely to be cordial, but distant. He does, however, have quite the temper when angered.

Gender: Female
Age: 28
Race: Human
Appearance: User Image
Brief history: She is the wife of a very minor lord and has a troubled home life. She has one girl child seven years in age. Her husband buys slaves because he is too cheap to pay a servant. He works them to the bone and then takes them back to the slave market. He leaves Lana to watch over the household during the day to make sure all the chores are finished by the time he returns in the evening. Her hands are not fair and soft like a typical lord’s lady. They are calloused and rough. The lord always assigns more work than can be done in a 13-hour period, with more to be done when he returns. Typical days in the Lord’s household do not end until very late and begin very early at sunrise.

Character Name Vasilisa
Gender Female
Age early twenties
AppearenceUser Image She is a young woman with pale skin, bright grey green eyes, and long dark hair bound in braids that reach to her ankles. She is dressed as a medieval russian princess in a fine white gown trimmed with gold, and gold and sapphire jewelry.
At times, she is disquised as a small gold and blue frog.
Background Based upon this Russian Story:The Frog Princess, with some liberties. I've added cruelty from her father as character development. Her powers include shape-shifting into a frog, and magic (as evidenced in the story) but the power concerning her servants to do things for her I changed to her natural skills with sewing and cooking. She is married to Ivan of course, but her father the Koshchei might still be around...
After the Koshchei's defeat, she doesn't use her powers unless absolutely needed, much prefering to use her mind and the abilities of normal mortals to solve problems.
Race Russian Faerie
Personality Gentle, wise, and loving. A tad sad at times, and very wise and intelligent. A supporting wife of her husband Ivan (a average joe human).
Theme Song Zelda's Lullaby

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.The sunlight peeked through the trees round her lake, and the earth gave off that fresh scent that she so loved right after a rain. Bheann walked at her leisure round the lake in complete and brilliant solitude. It was time to travel and search out the septannual human to be sacrificed to the lake.
This was a difficult and exciting time for her. Choosing the right human, whetting her lusts and then drowning him or her. So poetic, so beautiful.
She only wished someone else could guard the lake while she hunted.

He was just emerging from his latest sleeping spot from inside a cave. He groggily lifter the hood on his coat to block out the light. He was in fact trying to switch his sleeping time from day to night. If he wanted to start his interaction he'd have no choice.
he flinched as he stepped out in the the sunlight. Even with the hood shading his eyes it was still just too bright. Even in the woods with all the trees blocking the light still it was too bright. He'd speak softly to himself, " I honestly do not know if I will be able to get use to this.."
PostPosted: Fri Sep 19, 2008 6:35 pm


Bheann decided to make a short foray to the nearest village to scout out the options available to her. She could be back in a few hours.
There was a gurgling stream that ran from the lake through a pass and on down through Lochmont. She decided to follow the animal trails further from the stream this time and used the form of a large shimmering white moth. She sang happily in her tinkling voice as she flew through the pass.
She had not gone far when she saw a robed figure by the canyon wall. Interested, she shimmered into her female form, clad in the palest blue gossamer.
