A New RP Idea-Aelariah (Now Accepting)

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby Kædai on Sat Jun 28, 2008 10:06 pm

..::AELARIAH::..


So, this idea has been bouncing around in my head for a couple of days, and I know it needs work. BUT! As far as I know, this has never been done before, at least not in this medium. So, here's the idea.

It's starts out simple, everyone makes a very simple Character Sheet, guided by a few rules. Example:

Name: Kaedai Mikailo
Age: 10
Appearance: Kaedai has all of the traits of a regular 10-year-old boy. He is not muscular, but is not gauntly. His skin is tan, and he has bright blue eyes. His hair is a dark brown, and is usually worn short.
Personality: Loves to have fun and be with friends.
Biography: Kaedai has been living in Maelorn Village since his birth, and helps his parents around their small hut doing miscellaneous chores.


From there, you would start the RP in a...probably like a village setting of a Fantasy Theme (y'know...elves, magic, all that), so everyone can get to know each other. As the story progresses, your character actually ages and has more added on to his/her Character Sheet. Now, this idea would include timeskips, but nothing like 10 years. Like...maybe six months or so. Probably less. So, two years later, the Character Sheet would look like this:

Name: Kaedai Mikailo
Age: 12
Appearance: Kaedai has all of the traits of a normal 12-year-old boy. He is a little muscular, but not overly so. He has very tan skin and bright blue eyes. His hair is dark brown, and is usually worn short. He has a scar under his right eye.
Personality: Loves to have fun and joke around. Also loves to be with friends, but also has those "Lone Wolf" times.
Biography: Kaedai has been living in Maelorn Village since he was born, and since he was 10 has been helping around the village. His father has also taught him the basic needs for survival in the wilderness, and they have been hunting together many times.


As you can see, Kaedai's profile has grown. The story would continue on like this until around 20/24, when a main plot line would come into play. As the characters go about that, they continue growing, until the plotline is over. At that point, there are two main options. The first, and one I hope doesn't happen, is that the RP ends, people go home, end of story. The second, and really more fun, option is to continue the character's lives until they have kids, and then the process starts all over again.

I'm just looking for some feedback on this idea, and don't hesitate to tell me something that I left out. Oh, and if you're wondering: "But Kaedai, you are already in enough RPs!" I know, this RP will not go into effect until...probably
when school starts, when I have a more regular schedule.

..::UPDATES::..
6/30/08

Now accepting Character Profiles. See sheet below.
Name:
Age(Up to 16):
Appearance:
Personality:
Bigraphy:

The entire three islands are collectively called Aelariah[Aee-lah-reeah]. The one you start on is called Maeloor[Maee-lor]. The only village on the island, where you start off in, is called Maeloor-Ai[Maee-lor-aee]. You must have a family, but they do not have to come into play anywhere.

7/12/08

Timeskip: 4 Years. Changed Character Sheets and added more to Maeloor. All previous members, send me PMs with new Character Sheets.

Would there be like... wars? Like, you could get drafted, and you return years later and no one recognizes you! Teh ANGST! OMG! *gasp*
But, interesting, also as Kronos pointed out, much like life.

Hm...Maybe. That might be a part of the storyline, but as I said, I really don't have that down yet. What I have come up with is that there would be a war, but that's it, basically.

If it's a war main plot, Can we bump the tech up to Napoleonic? Or maybe Renaissance?

I would've been hoping Industrial-Age/WWI era, but Enlightenment would be cool.
Though I've always been fascinated with 15/16th century warfare.

Well, the tech isn't like...stoneage. I mean, they have armor and siege weapons and stuff. But remember, this is a Fantasy RP, not real-world. There has to be that...non-real world part of it. So, maybe there will be some similarities, but probably not many.

What's wrong with having Elves fighting side by side with Humans in the assault on the Somme? Personally, I find that idea interesting...
Non-Real world? Wha'dya mean?
Sorry if I'm seeming anal, I'm just curious. :B

But it doesn't have to be Medieval fantasy, and remember, the Middle ages were mainly the result of the collapse of the Roman Empire, and that didn't happen in this RP? We want 16th Century!

Ok, so here's the beginning of the plot, thanks to you guys.

When the characters reach age 20-24, a great war would break out in the land. Soldiers would come to their village and recruit them for their country. Boys ages 16-?? would be drafted, I don't know if girls would or not. ('Course, it's a blessing if they even join the RP. :P) The men would leave for...well, since it's a great war, I'm thinkin about twenty years, then some would come back, others wouldn't. From there...I don't know.

Suggestions welcomed greatly. :D

Oh, and this RP wouldn't take place on Earth. Well, not the Earth we know. Think...Like TES IV: Oblivion kinda world. There would be armor, swords, siege weponry, and magic (Maybe).

Can we at least advance to the point where there are Hand Canons and Caravels and-and-and Conquistadores?

-.- Why though? They just seem so...bulky and not fantasy-ish. But...I might, MIGHT allow hand cannons and pistols (What are Caravels? :?). MIGHT.

No. No conquistadors, but the ships...Those could add to the story. Like your village is on an isolated island, and the soldiers come and...yeah. There could be two other REALLY big islands that would be the two opposing countries...and you would have to sail for weeks to get to the other. Hm....That sound good?

Seems like a really good idea, I'd totally be up for an RP like this...
My roleplay fighting skills are pretty much non-existent..I'd be willing to learn though!

Ottoman: Like I said, I don't think it'll start anytime soon, but I'll see when it can.

MEGAcya: Lol. Well, fighting is the latter half of the story. The beginning will be a good practice for those who want to brush up on their non-fighting skills, although we will have training and run-ins with wild animals. So it's not ALL talking. :P
