Thinking about starting a roleplay, but don't have the idea completely finished? Post it here, not in the main OOC forum!

The Rise of the Tari (interest check)

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby Nevan on Mon Jul 23, 2012 3:49 pm

Now up!

The Rise of the Tari

The Gist

The Rise of the Tari is an RP about the rise of civilization on the world of Ammisar. The Tari, the name given to the hunter-gatherer tribes who live in a large valley known as the Cradle, have developed the secrets of farming, taming animals and writing. One day, a visionary known as Vaylen united the tribes as their King and led them to the south of the Cradle to found the world's first ever city: Tarin. Fifteen years on, with the construction of mighty walls, awesome buildings and beautiful palaces made of white-stone only partially completed, King Vaylen is assassinated during the night.

The entire population is shocked by this single death and as they try to find the culprit responsible, the burden of continuing what their parents started now suddenly falls on that of the second generation; the young men and women who have to finish the transition from tribal beginnings to the start of the world's first great empire.

The Setting

The young world of Ammisar, in the partially completed city of Tarin, in the south of the Cradle and to the Northwest of The Lake of Ghosts. Don't worry, there is a map coming. :)
The general location is mostly sahara and desert, with an abundance of trees and vegetation around the lake of ghosts.

The culture is inspired by various ancient civilizations, such as Greece, Egyptian and Rome.

So what do we do?

You play one of the thousand or so men and women who must complete the work of King Vaylen. It is a free-form RP, with lots of potential for creativity. Play anything from a young urchin, to a priest or priestess to one of the Tari's gods, to a politician, to a guard, or even just an average citizen helping to pull his or her weight. The "point" is simply the completion and expansion of the foundation of civilization. There's lots of chances for political conspiracy and such, as many of the people helping to "lead" Tarin are from different tribal factions.

The RP is based on an "idea" I had that crossed my mind one day. I imagined, from humble beginnings, the rise of a great city like Rome, with all its intrigue and story potential, and then eventually how it became the mighty Roman Empire. Though we're starting early, if the RP is successful I would like to do sequel RPs set further on in time, where the actions of your characters while building Tarin have a great effect on the future. :)

So, yeah...

That's about all I can think of. I have quite a bit written down on religion, culture and so on, but that can wait 'til the RP is up, so I suggest not planning characters until this information is posted. If you have any questions, ask away. If you're interested, please post here. :)

Great! Glad to see people are taking interest, even if it's only a couple. :)

I do have one or two other interested players lined up, which makes five total if both of them join. I was hoping to start the RP at perhaps a 6-8 player count.

I'll leave the interest check up a day or two more and see if anyone else takes a liking.

I'm quite interested in this roleplay. :)

Though I must ask you if there are other tribes/sentient species.

Indeed there are. :)

However, other tribes would be "outsiders" to the Tari, though they are starting to get more common, coming in from foreign lands to try and join. Other sentient species, however, are definitely going to be there - just even more foreign to the Tari than the other human tribes. Heck, I'm still thinking about them, but there should be info up when I put up the RP.

Oh, I never planned for it to be so advanced that it scares people off. Besides, you seem like a reasonable person and if you ever need help, feel free to ask at any time. :)

On another note, pretty much everything is written up. The RP should be online ASAP.

Talk about primordial, very interested on my part.
Like a stranger on a grate, or a skylark, or a taper, flying ever upward and knowing of love's satiety. Our dreams beyond the Sun and into the expanse of Night doth sound a quiet hymn.

I'm definitely interested. I'm new to this community though, so still figuring out how things are done here.

If a young-ish (say 17 years old) woman who left her foreign tribe because of some kind of crime or trouble and is now trying to fit in (and perhaps later gain influence) sounds like a good idea, I suppose I shall submit a character?

The reason I'd like to play a foreigner is that after the assassination of the king she'd be treated with extra suspicion. The reason I call a 17 year old a "woman" is that I saw at what age people are supposed to marry :) .
I can keep myself sane because I’ve got my candy gun!
