Irish Wolf here again (damn I do seem to do a lot of these) and I'm here with another game for you to tease your mighty brains with. The general feel of this game is a modern town thrown into a fantasy world, which is in the middle of a war. The town will be fictional of course, even if a real one bares that same name. So lets start with the town and then move to the fantasy world, rules and character profiles.

There are many worlds or realities as one could call them, each separate but nearly the same. At one time, our earth and those other were once closely connect but as time passed, they grew apart, as the the inhabitants of planet Earth, have mostly forgotten about the existence of those other worlds. However, with all the fantasy writers, sparking minds across Earth, some of the other worlds, have gotten closer then they have in ages, close enough to tear open the void or cause anomalies to happen

Barrington, Vermont. Located in the Green Mountains near Camels Hump, mostly visited by hikers, campers, leaf peepers and skiers, this small town also plays host to a small environmental collage (upwards of about five hundred students). Most of the residents make their living running small farms, some sort of hunting and/or fishing supply, inns, teaching or renting rooms. Other then the Summersworth Environmental College, the town has two schools, an elementary school for k-5th grade and a middle school for 6-8th grade. The high schoolers are sent to a nearby regional school.

The world of Vesinia, world torn apart by violence and hate. Orcish warlords, leading vast hosts (massed orc tribes, gobin clans and bugbears) from the wilds lands and savage mountains have entered into a cabal with the vile humans, seeking to expand their power and the witch leaders of the subterranean dark elves, rallying under a plain black banner. Mustered against them is a weak and distrusting alliance of goodly men, noble high elves (and their lesser cousins) and stalwart dwarves. Time and time again, mistrust and general racism have splintered alliance armies, making them weak targets for the forces of the Black Banner.

Rules
1. Most fantasy races will be excepted but we're going standard fantasy, so High Elves are snobs that think themselves above everyone else, Dwarves are greedy drinkers, Humans are swing every which way, Orcs are ugly dumb buggers, ect ect ect.
2. No super godlike characters
3. No killing off other player's characters without permission or unless its agreed upon for a plot point.
4. Fantasy character will be coming from a recent Alliance defeat near a small High Elf village.
5. Please be a literate, I would like at least one (nice and meaty) paragraph per post.
6. Have fun.

Mine (for now)

Name: Alex Dowell

Age: 29

Gender: male

Appearance: Not remarkably tall, at around five feet and ten inches, Alex is lean but well built. A plain face, marked only with a small circle beard around his mouth and light blue eyes. Most of his brown hair is in a short crew cut, save for a short, braided rattail on the back of his head. He normally dressed in black shoes, blue jeans and a dark tee shirt, with a gray trench coat.

Reason for being in town: Attending his father's funeral and to take over the family hunting lodge

Bio: Like many of Barrington's residents, Alex's family lived on money earned by renting rooms to hunters and hikers or by the sale of firearms, ammunition and hunt or fishing licenses. Ten years ago, he left to attend college (where he got into more then a few fights and took up boxing) and later opened a gaming cafe in Boston with a few friends. He's part of the store was the food counter but he was able to pick up a lot of lingo from table top, pen and paper and computer gamers to at least get some respect. He plans to take stock of the family store, then sell the place.

It is possible to be a character suffering from some form of Lycanthropy, I have looked over many posts of yours Comrade Vacilli and found them to be lacking in both length and details. Are you going to be able to put forth enough material for this game?

By faction, I mean does your character fight for the Alliance or Black Banner but other wise, Anelian looking good

The answer is both Iced Fire, seeing as

, as in the whole town is going to be transported into a fantasy world by an "Event" or maybe this happen:

Naerys No-House wrote: Primarily, maybe not the town being ripped off the face of the earth by "the event" but by "the event" somehow knocking their consciousness into this fantasy realm. Dream-gone-reality type thing. People would walk into the town and see dead people. Basically ousted from one reality and put into a reality conceived by our minds as a people and since it's been conceived by so many, then it fabricates it somehow.

Either way, the characters from a modern town are going to be in a fantasy world.




Anyways, Gabriel_Whist, Jack looks good.

Camaro for the win but I'm still looking for a few more good players.

Is Miss Jones a nudest? Pretty or plain? Stick figure or full and curvy? And can we get more of a bio please?

Name: Xivilai Vamori
Age: 300 years
Gender: Male
Appearance:

Xiv's skin is dark and brownish tan (his kind always have either brownish or blue skin, but it's always dark). His hair is white, like pretty much all elves of his type, and his eyes are red. He wears a scalemail breastplate over a bare torso. His boots and gauntlets are plated with light armor. Other than that, his trousers and cape are dark leather. As you can also see, he wields a short sword in his main hand, and a dagger in his offhand in a reverse stance.
(Fantasy being)
Race: Dark Elf/Dunmer/Drow (Whichever you're calling it)
Faction: Alliance
Bio: 300 may seem old in the eyes of man, but to the elven kind it is still considered young (since elves have longevity). Like most Drow, Xiv had a natural ability for dark magic and the sword, and became what is known as a Spellsword, wielder of both sword and magic, but master of neither. Xivilai's history is basically bleak at best, nothing terribly significant and worth mentioning, aside from his rigorous training. He only recently joined the Alliance, and so is still low in rank.

hahahahahahaha.................no. I will say again, no. There will be no "good guy" dark elves in this game because, at best they would be a Drizzt clone.

*shrugs* Your call, but I don't appreciate my creation being laughed at like that. Who the hell is Drizzt? Lastly, I didn't know race was the deciding factor in one's allegiance. If that's the case, I want no part of this.

You didn't pick up that race would be a factor in your alignment when I put "standard fantasy" in the rules? Or when I placed dark elves in the listed evil powers?
