Basic Story, for newcomers: It is a journey the will start conventional and change as it goes along. Not all things are possible, but certainly most are. You can be whatever you wish, past present future, mundane or extraordinary. One day in a town called Sventen you meet a strange looking girl who convinces or pays your or coerces you to go with her on her journey, which she claims is to reclaim pieces of a lost history book. Is that all there is to it? Will you ever find out? Do you even care or are you just along for the ride.
Come play with us...
This is now for Updates!
January 10: I was requested to mention, although I don't think I should need to, I shall. Kyojoken is helping me with this game, due to his diligence in keeping it alive in it's time of weakness. For all intensive purposes, he has GM status, so treat him with respect please. Also, remember that he can be a bit forward at times, so try not to get your panties in a bunch, ok? We want to have fun, but we also want to keep a high level of quality. It isn't about being super...how do they say it? l33t? Or something otherwise ridiculous? This is about expanding your horizons, testing yourself and what you can do. Is it worth the hassle? That's up to you, dearies.
January Something: It is imperative that everyone understand that while I want this rp to be completely customizable...it still needs to make sense. We cannot read each others minds...things are not as they are in the real world where a person simply can't be in two places at once. They can...but it makes no sense when they are. Because of this it is sooooo important that you pm me when you decide something that forms the world or the people in it. Nearly all of the characters I create can be customized to you. The only time they can't is when they are already being used by someone else.
My example of the moment is Rahiki. His history and therefore personality was formed to fill a role for the character Gunther...now it has been stated that he is a death trap. I did not originally make him a death trap. Once stated, it pretty much becomes true, so now he is. 8D Sorry Gunther, your story arch has been drastically changed. Your future good luck has now turned bad.
Is it a bad thing? No, not really. But, sorry for picking on you, but I want everyone to know and you are my latest example of this happening, thought it wasn't just you by any means. If you saw Rahiki enter the scene and I have stated that he is a Pirate, a slaver and that he has a mage with him, and alchemist to be specific. I alluded that he has psychic ties with the mage and that he is a douche. All of these things are true and you can create any fact based soley off of this. But if you wanted to add information such as that he invites death, which he very well might, and that he was at a certain place in his history (since I keep most of our history hidden, for all you know, he could have not existed at all in the time you specified), just pm me and say briefly: I want to have ties with Rahiki (which was done) I want him to be at this place this many years ago and heres what new information I am going to reveal about his personality. if none of this goes against something another person planned, then you get it to be true and get the go ahead. If I give you a place or a race, it is yours to adjust as you see fit. For example, HK again, the size shifters. Any truths about them are decided by him without my permission. If you want to have ties with them, you go through him.
Sorry if this seems anal, but it's necessary if our little project is to succeed.
December 27: We have some new players! Yay, welcome all I will be adding you to our main page shortly. Also, no one is out of this game. You come in and you are in and that is it. If problems arise I will play the character myself. If you wait too long to post and everyone is eager to move on, I will post for you, so be aware of that. I don't think it is fair for everyone to have to sit around and let the rp die because they have to wait for so and so and so and so is too busy or forgot to post. If you have life issues or problems, that's ok, just let me know, keep in touch and all that.
Also, HK pointed out that we don't have a defined money system, so I ripped it off of D and D. Not sure which version or if they are even different:
200 coppers = 20 silvers = 1 gold piece
On Faydor 5 coppers will get you a loaf of bread (large and of decent quality). On Brays Minor it would only take 4 and on Brays Major it would take as little as 6 to the Southern and end and 10 to the north end.
These are generalized prices. Interpret them as you will.
December 15: The hunt for more players begins. Could that be you? All will be explained about the benefits of this world and what you gain by learning it, just pm me and I will inform you, if you please. For all intensive purposes this is a new role play, so please don't feel intimidated to join just because the thread has been around for a while. Many of the previous players have suffered from irl issues, but we didn't get very far in our main storyline, so it will be very easy to start with us. Please take this into consideration as I am very adaptable and looking for a blend of minds to take this story to crazy heights and directions.
December 8: COB MAIN OFFICIALLY OPEN. Sorry about the forced move guys, I just really wanted to move on and things were moving along a little to slowly for my tastes. Could be because there was no driving purpose, so I skipped ahead. Also, it will no longer allow you to post after yourself, so, as much as I didn't want to, I just tacked my first post onto the end of the last informational post. It screws up my groove, but whatever, nothings perfect. I shall be sending pm notices to our players in the morning to let you know that we are up and running. Anyone new to this game, there are spots open, so let me know if you want to play, I'll be happy to catch you up. <3
November 1: I had a tragedy that kills my motivation, but I am still here everyone. My files that I have saved on my computer are all corrupt. If you know me or have had a pulse during my development of this game, you know how much data I had saved and how hard I worked on it all.
I have all of the info on the other characters memorized as well as a good portion of the adventures. Also I have pm records. But there are some important details that are lost. So, many things will be reinvented, so if I hinted at anything or you have foreknowledge from talking to me that I change in the rp or is somehow different there, go with what is posted. If you remember something important that I contradict, pm me and it will be changed (most likely).
Fear not, Brays is not dead.
We are however, looking for other players if you can recommend some. The character Asterse and Cecilia will be Npcs until further notice.
September 28: The main topic is ready and raring to go. I have decided to let prequel run it's course instead of stopping it right now and then having to turn around and pm people and wait for replies from each person individually to decide how they all decided to come along on the voyage. Prequel will do just fine to decide this. We'll say, for reference purposes that the chat rp starts at midnight. So anyone who doesn't meet and decide to come along during this already played out section must resolve how they are coming before then. You don't have to state that you are coming with, just make your decision to. We can always talk things out in the morning.
Also, there is one last slot that I am considering filling. I feel there is a character concept we are missing (mostly a personality balancer for the party). If you know anyone with considerable talent and time to devote that you think should join, let me know. That doesn't mean we have to delay starting at all. We can always meet them along the way.
EDIT: I stated that it was morning in Sventon, but since everyone is already at the Tavern and we will probably run out of things to do sooner than later, I am going to fudge and say that it is late afternoon, say four-ish. The fishermen still came out at the first gold time, I have just inserted a bunch of time between that and Tetrino's first post.
Edit #2: If anyone finds their descriptions in the directory to be inaccurate, please let me know via pm immediately. Please keep in mind that for some I have put down how people perceive rather than how you are. If it is inaccurate on how your take is that others would perceive you, I repeat, let me know! <3
October 14th: I hope everyone is checking in as soon as possible. This is never going to get anywhere if everyone isn't active. If no one is interacting with you, I don't care if you post, but if someone reacts with you and you do nothing, that holds everyone else up. If that happens to you and you are stuck until you get a reaction, please take the initiative to pm that person. I put too much work into this to let it die, but I am pretty well stuck until everyone get's together. I want you all to help me build this story, which means that you have to take initiative to cause interest to the plot as if it were your game. Just make sure it is not contrary to anything that has already been said. If it doesn't work with what I am doing, I'll let you know, but most things will.
Get motivated, get creative! Come on people!
