~Setting~
A penninsula name Valineer is the home to both good and evil races. The land has been dominated for centuries by the goodly folk, but the evil races have had just about enough and are showing their true colors.
~Plot~
The evil and good races are now warring for power and land. The allies are a blurr and negotiations are always like walking on thin ice. Great power has risen from the Spine of the World and now threatens peace in Valineer, but a scary realization has come into clarity...
The Drow are numerous and are not welcome amongst the goodly folk and they are seeking to exterminate their surface dwelling cousins once and for all.
The one thing that none of them know is that they are being watched...
~Fighting~If there is any fighting between characters, please do as follows:
1) There will be no killing unless that person does not want to participate any longer or you gain their permission.
2) Use paragraph fighting or 1 step action fighting.
PARAGRAPH EXAMPLE: Master Kinshou drew out his magical warhammer, Helios, and ran straight for the undead creature. He swung at the creatures head but it moved much too fast to even make contact! Kinshou took a quick back swing and slammed the mighty warhammer into the creatures side, knocking it to the ground. He stood over it and held the warhammer high, ready to finish the creature off. (Leave the end of it hanging for the other person to keep the fight going. You each draw your own conclusion.
3nodding )
1 STEP EXAMPLE: Master Kinshou took a swing at the undead creatures head. (You only write one action at a time so that the fighting can be drawn out fairly.
3nodding And make sure to put alot of detail into it so we can draw a mental image.)
3) Keep it PG-13.
4) Keep it fair. (No "You missed me and I cut off your arm!!!" bull.
stare Let each person decide what their action is by themselfs, don't put actions for them so you can get an unfair advantage.
4) Have fun!
xd Rules: exclaim Keep it PG-13.
exclaim Be literate and fix your posts before you post them (Proof read).
exclaim No God-modding.
exclaim Stick with the story.
exclaim No spamming.
exclaim This goes along with "No God-modding," but be realistic also.
exclaim Stay active or ask to be taken out if you can no longer participate.
exclaim You MAY fight with other RP members, but you cannot kill another character unless you have consulted the person you are going to kill and they agreed to allow you to kill them.
exclaim If you are inactive, you will be removed.
~Race Description~Dark elf (Drow) - Dark Elves are usually the evil or sinister counterparts of the Light Elves (or High Elves). They are beautiful but dangerous. They are generally 4-6 feet tall with pointy ears, but being above 5’5” is very rare for dark or normal elves. They are tall, slender, human-like creatures of otherworldly beauty with normally white hair, black skin, and red eyes. They are known for their mining and metal-working as well as their evil hearts and deadly skills at killing. They normally ally with other evil/semi-evil beings such as the evil dwarves (Duergar), hill giants, frost giants, and occasionally manipulate the other lowly races such as orcs, goblins, and trolls.
Dwarf/Duergar - A dwarf is a short humanoid creature generally living underground or in mountainous areas. They are about 3-5 feet tall. Here they have heaped up countless treasures of gold, silver, and precious stones, and pass their time in fabricating costly armor. They are famed miners and smiths although, like humans, they specialize in any number of trades. Generally shorter than humans, they are on average stockier and hairier, usually sporting full beards. They are powerful fighters, great commanders, and in strange cases profess in magic and clerical skills.
They have a very down-to-earth attitude and short tempers.
Moon/wood/high elf - Elves were conceived as a race of beings similar in appearance to humans but fairer and wiser, with greater spiritual powers, keener senses, and a closer empathy with nature. They are great smiths and fierce warriors on the side of good. They are not vulnerable to disease or the effects of old age. Although they can be killed in battle like humans and may alternately wither away from grief. They are 4-6 feet tall, have pointy ears, and have light beige or nearly white skin.
Hill Giant - Hill giants are semi-intelligent beings that are a blown up figure of a human being with immense strength. They stand at 15-20 feet tall and tend to be a bit more grotesque. They are low in numbers compared to most other races, but they make up for it with their crafting skills and military strength.
Frost Giant - They are close relatives to the hill giant and equally as scarce. They are equally skilled at warfare and weapon/armor crafting, but they are far more intelligent. Their intelligence meets and nearly exceeds that of a human. They are highly immune to the cold and manipulate the elements far more than Hill giants. They are more involved with politics and trade agreements. They are just as ferocious as hill giants, but they have a better sense of rationality in them. They are easier to look at than their grotesque looking cousins, but they have blue skin being their main difference. They are very majestic peoples that indulge into sculpting. Their skills in architecture equal that of a dwarf.
Bog Troll - A very ugly humanoid that stands approx. 6-9 feet tall and slender, have grey/green colored skin, and some actually have thin grey hair on their heads. They have razor sharp claws and are very powerful. They are very stupid and blood thirsty, but they can speak some broken languages and understand basic commands. The only way to truly kill a troll is to burn their severed appendages or else they will regenerate and likely create new trolls. When attacked with fire they nearly ignite into running, screaming balls of fire. They live in swamp areas and marshes.
Cave Troll - Their name explains where they live; caves. They are about 8-12 feet tall, have beige/brown skin, and do not have any hair. They are ugly like their cousins, the bog trolls, but far stronger and far larger. They are void of most logic other than their bloodlust and only follow orders when they are slaves and are shown how to do it or are possessed. They are just as weak to fire as the bog troll and also regenerate if its severed appendages are not burnt.
Humans - Do I honestly have to explain?
Orcs - Of all the races and their long histories, their tales of heroes that fought great beasts and brought peace to the land, there is no greater mystery then that of the orcish race. From ancient texts it is shown that the orcs were not a naturally made race, this makes scholars wonder, did these creatures come from some other dimension, were they once an elder race, tortured and mutilated into what they are now? or were the texts simply wrong? Whatever the origin of the orc is, it has lead the race to become a race of mostly warlike creatures. The average orc is far stronger then a human, and almost completely immune to pain. Orcs come in many different appearances; some appear to look like massive humans with green skin, while others are hunched over with extremely pig like faces. Orcs are mostly scattered throughout the land, united only with those of their own tribe.
Goblins - If you ask any of the civilized races about the most clever and inventive races, the will tell you one of two things, your either talking to a member of that race, or you're going to want to go talk to a dwarf. However they won t admit that on the same level as the dwarves is the goblin race, a race that thrives on tinkering and greed. Goblins are about the same height as dwarves; however they are much thinner, this allows a large amount of them to climb easily, and on occasion be somewhat stealthy. The goblins usually have either an extremely dark almost black skin, or a muddy green colored skin. Due to the goblins love for money, they are much more social then the dwarves, and much more willing to share their inventions. For these reasons and more, the dwarves and the goblins have been rivals since the two races first made contact.
Gnomes – They are abundant in the underdark (Below the surface world in caves and underground.). They are magnificent stone and metal workers and they value beauty. They collect rare gems and they practice many forms of magic, alchemy, religious affairs. They are a goodly race even though they are surrounded by the dark elves, duergar, and what ever other random evils lurk in the underdark. They are normally 3-4 feet tall, are traditionally bald besides the occasional beard, and have long pointy noses.
Halflings – Simply shorter humans that are about 3-4 feet tall and have large hairy feet.
