RPG
Introduction
Gavilla is a world parallel to Earth, similar in many ways, such as the landmasses and oceans, although they have different names. It has architecture that resembles medieval earth and the style of dress. Even some of the people who are born on earth have a duplicate born on Gavilla, although their personalities and experiences are often very different. Another difference is that fantasy creatures such as dragons, elves, ogres, trolls and dwarfs exist. The biggest difference is that magic exists and is commonly used by many; the other is that the technology is surprisingly advanced. Details are described later.
Gavilla's geography is almost identical to earth but with slightly different place names and no high rise cities.

Technology
Video phones are located in most homes and there are also public access terminals that include both a video phone and a data cube.
Data cube- is similar to a computer but it is voice activated and the display is holographic and three dimensional.
There are ground and sky rail runners that are monorails that run between many of the major cities. There is electricity but much of that is run through solar panels, wind and water energy, and geothermal energy. They do not have space travel though and although robotics are developed they are seldom used since magic can do many mundane tasks more efficiently.
History: History is not really well known by most of the common people they only know a few stories and legends mostly about the Dark lady and her mate the Dark Prince Lucivon and how they ruled over most of the world with an iron fist, killing any who resisted and terrorizing many for the fun of it. The ancient Gods pooled their power and managed to seal her away but Lucivon escaped. They kept the details a secret hoping Lucivon wouldn’t learn and find a way to release her because they would not be able to seal her again. Lucivon needs to know more and many people hear horrible tales of his efforts to find her.
Politics on Gavilla is mostly made up of monarchies or dictatorships with a few warlords in the barbarian lands. Crix is a major city and is governed by a queen, but unlike other monarchies, she was elected by the people and the people vote on all the major issues with the queen as the deciding vote.
There have been many prophets and people claiming to be prophets who have made numerous prophecies over the years. Many have come true but many more still clutter up the shelves of libraries everywhere. The problem is that most were written in the old language which is only rarely used now in magic or by the ancient races. Many people, even scholars have trouble interpreting the difficult language so some of the prophecies might have been translated incorrectly. Another problem is different prophets saw things in different ways and it is hard to connect the right prophecies together but People still listen to them. There are many others but many people still look for one about something called the Darkstar, not really knowing what it is and how it can help them.
Recently many creatures such as ogres, trolls, Drow, gnolls, and other groups have increased their attacks on people and have even banded together to attack some of the larger towns. People are increasingly afraid to travel and many people are moving to the big cities for protection. Queen Imani of Crix has started recruiting as many people as she can to try to stop these attacks and a few for a special mission that she will reveal when those she deems worthy are recruited.
There are many Kingdoms scattered over north and South America. Crix is roughly centered and is kind of the governing force for much of North America. Though there are some rival kingdoms or kingdoms that are neutral. There are also the wandering gypsies and the Amazons and druids.
The magic races try to stay away from civilization. For example Dragons live in mountains and caves. Shape-shifters (cats, wolves, other) Prefer deep woods or swamps. Dwarfs also like caves but do have villages run by a council that are located on many continents.
Halflings are sometimes hermits but do often live in the main cities. Light elves are everywhere. Some are druidic and live in forests and others live in huge fantastical cities. One such city is the City of Gershawn; it is one of the few Elvin cities that welcomes scholars from all over to study in their well known universities and libraries. Dark elves tend to live secretively and not many of their cities are not easy to find.
Also variations and combinations are possible such as Dragon/human.
+So basically think of my world as a magical Earth but each country has a magic academy and is at a roughly medieval/ classical point in its development though I am sure you noticed some of the additions. It is the age of empires, each empire at its height. As long as a character fits this general concept I’ll accept new races as well, so use your imagination. Something to remember- this adventure will start like a real rp with everyone essentially at level one. Once the story starts characters will level up and gain the trust of the npcs and such and get better jobs. If someone joins up late they will have to start from scratch and earn a place in the story.

OOC Notes
Yuri smiled. When Anjali told him that she and him were friends, it made his iron heart soften. He also nodded when asked to teach her words, as his were failing him at the moment. The old war dog had became a puppy.
Then he noticed her scar along her back and instinctively reached up and touched his along his eye. Seems as if both have had misfortunes. Anger began to eat at him. Who would do that to a child? For what reason? If they were still alive, Yuri would might have to have a "Discussion" with them... But right now, he would try his best to protect her from those who wanted to harm her.
As she settled in to sleep, Yuri stayed up and kept watch for a little and to mull over recent occurrences. A random army draft had earned him a young friend, even if indirectly. Yuri stretched out under the tree.
"Teach you words, Shela?" He said to himself reverting back to his accent. He had already went from Japanese to his current dialect and worked hard to erase all traces of it from his voice. Perhaps he could help her with her language as he went through it his self.
He finally drifted off into an easy sleep. He didn't dream, but was still the most pleasant sleep he had in a while. When he awoke, it was late morning. Remembering that Anjali had eaten all the provisions he brought, he decided that the best place for breakfast would be the castle.
He stood up and threw dirt on the fire. He picked up the knife he had thrown during the night and placed it back in it's holster. Making sure that Anjali wasn't up yet, he snuck a swig of whiskey from his flask. He then placed it back on it's strap at his sash-belt and checked to make sure he wasn't forgetting anything.
Feeling content, he roused Anjali from her sleep. "After you get ready, we will leave for the castle. I'll find you food there." He said using hand motions to convey what he meant. "Also... Stay close to me." He said remembering how she had said people didn't like her.

Darien had just finished testing the most recent applicant who had failed miserably, at least the man had been an honest seeming man, but the poor guy was obviously just a farmer with no experience with weapons. At the sight of Raos he almost cheered. This would be interesting.
It had been a long time since he had met someone with draconic heritage and looked forward to seeing what this guy was made of. He almost couldn’t contain his excitement but made sure that he at least appeared calm. He approached the newcomer and dismissed the guard.
“My name is Darien Hawk and I am going to be in charge of the recruiting and leading the team once I find enough people who I feel meet the requirements.”
“Please tell me your name and a little about yourself.” He couldn’t help wondering if this man could sense the dragon in him.

Anjali was roused by a light tap on her back. She sat up and rubbed her eyes before letting out a large yawn and stretching. She heard Blaze speaking and looked over at him. He was using those hand motions to help convey the meaning of his words. She was getting used to it and was actually able to understand him somewhat better. She understood that they were leaving for the city, she was excited because the city was wonderful but she was scared too. She unfolded her clothes and brushed the dirt off of them before slipping it back on. She jumped up and looked around. She let out a soft growl and mewing noise before realizing that she had to speak in Blazes language, not her language. She was embarrassed because she knew that there was no way for him to understand her. Anjali sighed wishing he could speak her language. "Sorry, I ready....blaze ready?"
OOC Notes
Yuri chuckled at Anjali's growl and mew. Must be how the dragon's communicated he thought. He then patted her on the head affectionately and said "Yes, I'm ready. Let's be off." He made his way out of the woods and got on to one of the roads heading towards Crix. As he was traveling, he kept a close eye on Anjali as they walked.
Then he spoke up. "You want to learn my language?" He asked with hand motions, but already knew the answer. "Okay, we can start now." Then he began describe things around him and told her the words for them. It was rudimentary, but that was all he could do as of now.
As they neared the city, more people began to appear on the road. Yuri paid no mind to them or their expressions toward Anjali, but drew nearer to the girl protectively. He also threw his cloak behind his shoulders to expose both swords and the assortment of throwing knives, a warning not to mess with them.
He passed through into the city without much trouble, signing in with "Business" as the reason. Yuri paused to ask guards questions about the recruitment, and before long they managed to get to the arena. He noticed a line outside of one entrances and guessed that was the recruitment area. He also noticed that the line of people were no more fit to wield a weapon than a child.
He made his way up to the front of the line, disregarding the others and came upon a guard with a clipboard. He must be the one letting people in, Blaze thought.
Yuri placed his hand protectively on the shoulder of Anjali. "There is a line, you know." The guard said without looking up from the clipboard.
"I doubt all this people put together have as much experience as I do, mate." Yuri said.
The guard looked up and saw Yuri for the first time. A grizzled man with blades of all kind and a little dragon girl. "Ah! Finally. Another promising prospect. I'll need your weapons, as is the rule. And the girl, she-"
"Comes with me." Yuri cut him off. He would not leave her.
The guard winced and nodded. "Whatever. We need all the skill we can get and I'm not about to argue."
Yuri took his cloak off and wrapped the combat knife, the curved knife, hunting knife, and the holsters in it. Then he took off the two swords and placed it on top of the makeshift pack. "You had better not lose even one of them." Yuri warned. He kept the two hidden stilettos in his bracers more for Anjali's protection than his.
"Okay, this way." The guard led the two into the arena with a young man talking with a another man, yet the other was scaled.
Yuri raised a scarred eyebrow "Another dragon?"
"Darien, Here's another!" The guard called before leaving.
Yuri crouched down to Anjali's height with a smile. "Hey, after this, I'll get you something to eat. Deal?" He said with the usual motions. He kept crouching and waited patiently for his turn with this Darien. It was time to prove himself. Again.

At the bottom of the mountain the three soldiers and Lyra entered the village. The villagers eyed Lyra some was with fear while others were wary of her, she after all was not human. The men led her to a group of four horses which they then mounted, Lyra mounted a pinto who also seemed to eye her. The lead soldier spoke at this time, "If we ride quickly we could be at Crix by daybreak." Lyra nodded at the soldier and the four of them took of towards Crix.
As the sun began to light the sky Lyra and the three men had reached the city of Crix. Quickly dismounting the pinto, Lyra asked, quietly for she was not comfortable with this tongue, "Where are we to go now?" The man who was neither the smalles nor the lead answered, "You are to be taken to the battle arena, you're skills are to be tested. Did you bring a weapon with you?" Lyra shook her head, and answered, "I need no weapon, but I would like to have a cloak to cover my ears and hair, if you would be so kind." The soldier nodded. They travelled through the city and stopped only once to buy a velvet cloak which she put on and lifted the hood over her head.
It was not long before they reached a building with a long line. They approached the building and watched men being dragged out. She was only looked over once by a guard, but because she was being accompanied was not stopped. They walked to the edge of a battle arena, the men told her to wait there someone would assist her later and left. She watched them leave and disappear into a group of people. She then turned to see what was taking place in the arena. There were two men ready for battle. She watched what would soon be a battle and waited for whom ever she was to be waiting for.

Raos look over Darien from top to bottom “He is going to be the leader of team? What team was is he talking about?” he wondered to himself. “My name is Raos...” He felt strangely hesitant to talk. There was something familiar about this man it was a strange sensation he had not felt before. It was foreign, but at the same time calming it caught him a little off guard. “And...” Before he could continue he was interrupted by a guard . "Darien, Here's another!" The guard called before leaving. Raos quickly turned around his wings acted like fan blowing a little wind into Darien's face as he turned.
His eyes first set upon the man he was obviously a veteran of many battles that much he could gather almost instantly. Before he looked him over anymore his eyes were drawn to the girl that accompanied him. She had horns and a tail and even though he saw no scales he was positive she was part dragon like him, but her ears and seemingly natural beauty must mean that the other part of her blood is elven. “I didn't think that I would met another like me so soon.” He thought to himself.

OOC Notes
Anjali looked around in amazement as Blaze pointed to things and named them. She did her best to memorize each word with a mental picture of it, but sometimes she had to ask him what something was a second time. This was the best time she had in years.
As they approached the city she settled down some, The people scared her but the city was just as amazing as she last remembered. The towering buildings, everyone going about their lives. All of the wires over the streets were unknown. When she asked Blaze what they were she got confused and didn't understand at all. One thing that really suprised her was that everyone once in awhile there would be someone talking to these little silver boxes and in each box there was another person. At one point in time she started pushing buttons on one but couldn't figure out how it works. She got frustrated and growled as she walked off startling some passerby's. Blaze laughed and she couldn't help but join in.
As they approached the castle all of the castle all of the buildings and people got more and more ornate until they were up to the castle. She was awed, It was more beautiful then she could have ever imagined it to be. As they got in line to go in she couldn't help but look at all of the people. Some looked at her weirdly or even with hostile faces and eyes. They scared her and she inched closer to Blaze.
When they were admitted into the castle she looked around with awe, Everything was so well built and gorgeous. Some parts even reminded her of her old cave home. Blaze crouched down beside her and said that they would go get some food after this. She was hungry but remembered that Blaze was here for a talk with another person. She didn't want him to leave her for even a second and she hugged him, "Anjali go with Blaze, I not leave you." she looked at blaze sadly. He had to go to talk with the other man but to do so he would have to go to him. She held on to him harder "Anjali want meet with blaze."

OOC Notes
Darien Hawk As he waited he noticed that the gaurd brought in two more people and one looked very promising, but the other looked very young. Then he sensed her, another dragon! Years without seeing another dragon or even part dragon and now he had seen two already in one day!
OOC Notes
Lyra watched the two men turn to greet a man and a dragon child. She looked away quite quickly though, she did not wish to be noticed by anyone other than the person she was waiting for. She smiled as she faintly heard the child's voice it, she had very little experience in that tongue. It also reminded her of the children of Atlantis and how they were always trying so desperately to learn so many different languages. Apparently the older man was named Blaze, but she made no real note of it being that she didn't truly believe she would get to know any of them. She also turned to look up and down one of the men in the arena. The one she turned to first was covered in scales, dragon scales. She looked away and turned took the second man, he looked human but something about him was different, though she could not tell what it was. Looking away completely she checked her hood to make sure her hair wasn't visable and readjusted it just be sure. Lyra then continued he wait, wondering what other interesting being she was to meet.
OOC Notes
Yuri was surprised by the hug that Anjali gave him, but after the initial shock he returned it. After she told Yuri of her wish to meet the man with him he smiled. "Of course."
He stood, keeping his hand on Anjali's shoulder to comfort her and waved at the man who looked less like a dragon. Probably Darien.
" 'Ello mate. I heard something about recruitment and guessed you needed experience... Apparently I was right." He said nodding towards the line of people. "I suppose you are Darien?"
"Ah, yes. This here," He motioned towards the girl. "is Anjali. She's a friend."

OOC Notes
Lyra now knew two names, Blaze and Darien. From what she could gather the Darien fellow was the one testing recruits... now she just felt stupid. She had been standing there waiting for someone instead of asking whom she should be talking to. If anyone had noticed her, which she hoped not, they probably would think she was an idiot. So she decided to ask for help, "Excuse me, I was sent here for recruits. Are you the one I should be talking to." Her voice sounded like the ocean breeze, light and graceful. She realized afterwards she had spoken in her native tongue, and no one could probably understand her. Once again she felt stupid and decided perhaps she should leave before she emberassed herself further.
OOC Notes
(OOC: how the........ Chat transcript??? whatever I'll keep just posting)
Anjali's eyes went large and she nearly fainted from surprise. The man, Darien, had just addressed her in her own language. she hadn't heard it spoken in years and was hit with a very nostalgic feeling of home. She responded in her own tongue
"how...how can you speak this tongue........ You are human. I have not heard my mother tongue in years. It's..... wonderful...... could you translate to Blaze for me...It's very difficult to speak to him, he is trying to teach me words."

OOC Notes
Yuri had a bewildered look on his face. In a matter of minutes, he had heard three different languages. Only one of which he could speak himself. He was seriously considering following the trend and speaking in his original tongue of Japanese. He decided against it and looked at the new lady who had just appeared.
"Do you... uh, speak this language?" He asked her, using the same hand motions he would for Anjali.
He glanced over to Anjali who was conversing in a different tongue to the man now confirmed as Darien. Was he... Half dragon, too? Plus, the fellow that was talking to Darien was clearly part dragon, too. Was he the only human here? However, it was pleasant that Anjali had found someone she could relate to and even converse easily.

OOC Notes
"Can you not sense it little one? He is as we are descendants of dragons.” Raos knew now what this feeling was a feeling of familiarity he had not been near another dragon for 8 years now. He had forgotten the feeling of kinship amongst dragons. “What is your name little girl and why are you so far away from your clan?” She was young he would guess that she hadn't even reached double digits in age yet. He could tell that the man next to her which she referred to as Blaze wasn't her father as he was most obviously human. From his dialect he could tell that Blaze came from Australia it was faint, but the accent was there.

Re: [OOC] The world of Gavilla OOC/ sign up
I agree with what gaia and talisman said M. Best wishes and hope you recover from whatever has you down and become a stronger person for it.
Re: [OOC] The world of Gavilla OOC/ sign up
Yeah M, you feel better. We all love you and miss you so if you ever just want to chat you are welcome any time. I hope you start feeling more cheerful again soon.

Re: [OOC] The world of Gavilla OOC/ sign up
Um, hello.
Hey guys, just checking up, apologizing to people I never got around to telling and apologizing to. Some of them want to restart the rp, some don't. Just thought I would say hey.
Miss you guys.
I think I am back, mostly, however (please don't take this offensively) I don't really want to restart my chari. I just don't feel up to taking on a serious project.
Explanation: I don't know if you noticed how very much my attitude has changed from yippe hoorah to ... well this. I realize you haven't had much communication with me so it would be hard to notice but I have changed drastically. I really don't want to go into great detail why but I haven't quite recovered so, yeah.
See you guys around,
*chu*

Re: [OOC] The world of Gavilla OOC/ sign up
Is this thread still alive?
Just always wanted to check in but never got the nerve up. Kind of breaks me down a little, seeing it.

Re: [OOC] The world of Gavilla OOC/ sign up
Wow the third one is the best but the first one isn't too bad either. I could also edit my sketch for you and make it a little better. Where did the one with the cool outfit come from If I could have number three's head on that body and make him look slightly younger it would be great. But any of those would work. Whatever you think will work for you. I don't mind working more on the sketch and refining it a little though mine will never look as realistic as any of them.
Re: [OOC] The world of Gavilla OOC/ sign up
I found one last decent one that kinda sorta looked like your sketch.
You got to remember though, I can't draw to save my life and if I tried, it would be like two sticks fighting over a watermelon... As such, I found all of these pictures on Deviant art.
http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs50/i/2009/ ... lenaom.jpg
Actually, I found a couple...

You won't believe how hard it is to find a middle-eastern fellow without facial hair of any kind...

Re: [OOC] The world of Gavilla OOC/ sign up
The third's outfit is uber cool but again his face looks like he is in his forties. So make his face closer to the first but sort of the seconds roughness too. Something like Antonio Bandaris. Or something like that. Maybe I can do a quick sketch too to give you my vision of him.
Re: [OOC] The world of Gavilla OOC/ sign up
One thing mo'
I found three pictures that may suit Khaleem. I want to see what you think of them.
Probably would help with the pictures.

Re: [OOC] The world of Gavilla OOC/ sign up
This seems as good a place as any. We already have one character signed up and one hopefully pending. I set up the ooc, the main rp, and the first post of the story. It would most likely be you next. Don't forget to give me a link to the rper wanted when you make it so I can subscribe to it. This should be interesting. The first player is an elf so so far so good about getting something different other than dragons lol. We may not even have any other than npcs as dragons woot!
Re: [OOC] The world of Gavilla OOC/ sign up
Sorry I wasn't here, I was gone for most of the weekend. I'll get up the RPer's wanted post tomorrow.
And the place isn't so bad as long as the players know where we are at the moment.
For the OOC or PM, it is up to you.

Re: [OOC] The world of Gavilla OOC/ sign up
I feel so stupid. I can't figure out how to change the place name. I tried the rp edit and the place edit and neither let me change it. The way they worded it in the creation I thought it meant something else so I said Gavilla instead of Crix for the place.
Re: [OOC] The world of Gavilla OOC/ sign up
Ok it's done. i am so burnt out on writing could you write the rpers wanted speal and post it to get some players. "the Darkstar chronicles" is now an official rp.
Re: [OOC] The world of Gavilla OOC/ sign up
It sounds great. As to character sheets they are pretty much there when the rp is made. I will probably have to figure out if I can find the first post of this ooc cause I had additional info there. Alot about the magic and how it works and examples of characters and such. I will go ahead and post the intro and make the rp. Would you prefer to keep this ooc as a place to talk for story planning and such or just talk via pm?
Re: [OOC] The world of Gavilla OOC/ sign up
Gavilla is a world parallel to our Earth, similar in many ways yet different. Many of our landmarks are in Gavilla, though under a different name. Unlike our Earth, which has evolved technologically, Gavilla is saturated by magic and therefore shaped by it. The architect and dress is similar to our middle ages, with stone and wood comprising many of the buildings. People born in our Earth could also find doubles of themselves in Gavilla, though personalities may differ. In Gavilla, the various fey creatures live and breath such as Dwarves, Elves, Dragons, Orges, Trolls, and other creatures with magically blood. The technology of Gavilla is also surprisingly advanced, with magic often the main driving force.
Info, need to know about Gavilla
Technology
Video phones are located in most homes and there are also public access terminals that include both a video phone and a data cube. They both are powered by a arcane magic
Data cube- is similar to a computer but it is voice activated and the display is holographic and three dimensional.
There are ground and sky rail runners that are monorails that run between many of the major cities. There is electricity but much of that is run through solar panels, wind and water energy, and geothermal energy. They do not have space travel though and although robotics are developed they are seldom used since magic can do many mundane tasks more efficiently.
Airplanes, guns, cars, and other typical modern amenities are nowhere to be seen, although gun powder is being hoarded by who we would call the Chinese and Greek Fire is still in use by, of course, the Greeks.
History: This history of Gavilla is not completely understood by the masses that inhabit her. The name Lucivon is only a mere whisper of a rumor. The common folk only know the simple story or the great legends, many about a Dark Lady and how she ruled the world with the Dark Prince Lucivon. The divine Ancients put together their might and sealed the Dark Lady away, however Lucivon ran and escaped. Details of the sealing were kept secret in fear of Lucivon learning and releasing his love. Today, Lucivon is trying to amass knowledge in order to free her and rule the world once more. Many common folk hear whispers of his terrible doings, yet most dismiss it as rumors.
The politics of Gavilla are mostly feudal in nature. Monarchies and Totalitarianism are not uncommon in the lands, as are not Warlords in barbarian lands. Crix however, is different. While it is a Monarchy with the Queen in power, she was elected to the position by her people. The people vote on many issues with her as the deciding vote.
On Lagross (Our North America, where Crix can be found) Religion consists of the worship of the Creator and All-God Omniri. Though, many religions exsist and many worship a number of different Gods and each region has it's own panteon. Once, people even worshipped the Dark Lady, and some still do to this day, though in secret, working towards the goal of unsealing her, and returning her to power.
There have been many prophets, both real and false, who have made many different prophecies over the years. Many of these prophecies have come true but many more collect dust on the shelves of the libraries. Many of the prophecies were written in ancient languages, languages full of magic and mystic, and languages not many still know today. Many, even scholars and intellectuals, have trouble interpreting the difficult languages and as a result, some may have been interpreted in correctly. The Prophets foretold each prophecy in a different way, making connecting them together difficult, yet the people still lend them their ear. There are many, but many look for only one, one called the Darkstar, not really knowing what it is and how it can help them.
~the Darkstar prophecy~
The full moon's glory not long past and the fury of the storm bring a new star from the heavens. The darkstar will shine in the dark and be recognized in spring's dawn light.
The darkstar will shine and purge the land, bringing deliverance from evil
Deliverance will come from nowhere known but wear a familiar face.
Three signs of hope we see to bring us the star to bring light and banish the dark. A solar eclipse in the serpent year. A full moon and a storm following the equinox of spring.
~~~
Recently many fell beasts such as ogres, trolls, Drow, gnolls, and other villainous creatures have intensified their attacks on people and have even banded together to sack some of the larger towns. People are becoming more and more afraid to travel and many are moving to the cities for protection. Queen Imani of Crix has started recruiting as many people as she can to try to stop these attacks.
There are many Kingdoms scattered over north and South America. Crix is roughly centered and is kind of the governing force for much of Lagross (North America). Though there are some rival kingdoms or kingdoms that are neutral. There are also the wandering gypsies, the Amazons, and druids.
The magic races try to stay away from civilization. For example Dragons live in mountains and caves. Shape-shifters (cats, wolves, other) Prefer deep woods or swamps. Dwarfs also like mountainous caves but do have villages run by a council that are located on many continents.
Some Halflings are hermits but do often live in the main cities. Light elves are everywhere. Some are druidic and live in forests. Some live in huge fantastical cities. One such city is the City of Gershawn; it is one of the few Elvin cities that welcomes scholars from all over to study in their well known universities and libraries. Dark elves tend to live secretively and their cities are not easy to find.
Winged Folk and Spider Folk can also be spotted, though they tend to shy away from those different then themselves. The Winged-Folk are an arrogant species and try to push their beliefs on people, yet still they are a decent folk and neutral.
+So basically think of my world as a magical Earth but each country has a magic academy and is at a roughly medieval/ classical point in its development though I am sure you noticed some of the additions. It is the age of empires, each empire at its height. As long as a character fits this general concept I’ll accept new races as well, so use your imagination. Something to remember- this adventure will start like a real rp with everyone essentially at level one. Once the story starts characters will level up and gain the trust of the npcs and such and get better jobs. If someone joins up late they will have to start from scratch and earn a place in the story.
Rules
Have Fun!
No godmodding meaning no automatic actions or controlling other peoples characters, also no super powered characters that can't get hurt ( you have to have at least some weakness)
No spamming
Keep ooc to pms and in the ooc not IC
Characters are subject to approval
No drastic story changes without approval
__________
Right, I edited it. I'm sorry if this seems pushy, I tried to make the language flow. I used all of your ideas as well as added tiny bits of detail. Also, perhaps a character sheet is in order?
