The Story Begins
The brave has faced fear, just like the wise has faced all sorts of problems and learned from them. Now I'll tell you a story about a few individuals, a story about love, about friendship, about bravery, heroic deeds and epic battles, and I hope that when this story ends, you'll have learned that such tales as this is not all good. At some point in every epic story, the hero must face what often seems to be impossible challenges and sacrifice what he or she have dearest.
The story takes place in a world where magic is common, a world shared by many different races including the human race, a world that is still unexplored and where anything can happen. Now in this particular world we find ourselves in a small human village more precisely in the local inn. It's a quiet evening here in the inn, people are talking, drinking and eating. A few travellers seem to be visiting for the night. One of them is the bard who's playing a few melodies on his lute.
Introduction
This RP will be run by me as a GM, this means that you'll be making the choices, and I will tell you what happens. I tell the story, you make it.
The RP takes place in a fantasy world much like that of Dungeons & Dragons. This means that you may be able to play other races such as eg. elves, dwarves, gnomes etc.. I will not allow all races, but give me your idea for a character, and we'll find something out. I do advice that you give your character some sort of class/profession, not that you'll have to decide whether it's a rogue or a barbarian, but in order to restrict yourself from being good at everything (that will just ruin the fun for your fellow RPers). If fx. you want to be a bard, then you probably won't be very strong and tough, however you might be a charismatic magician who uses his/her instrument to channel magic.
In this world magic works like a sort of energy, this energy flows within everything and with training one can learn how to control this energy, manipulate and transform it as one wishes. Some objects contain more magic than others, some magic items are created for a certain purpose, making them more than just containers of magic. Concentration is the key to the use of magic. If one was to slow down time, one would need to focus on speeding up their own body and mind, while also keeping their body intact, as such a spell would most likely cause severe damage to the body, if some factors were left unnoticed.
This means that a person skilled in combat rather than magic, might just as well be able to handle a magician.
At this moment I can't tell you much about the plot of this RP. I can only tell you, that you are some sort of an adventurer who just so happens to be visiting an inn this very evening. I do not know what your goal is, but I do know that you are looking forward to a good night's rest.
