Would dark elves be acceptable?

absolutely. Dark, Forest, High and Twilight. I'm happy to have others. To me, it's just like being another clan of humans. ^_^

There are Twilight Elves? I've never heard of them. What are the skills, exactly? Just things we come up with for our characters?

A Twilight Elf is a Dark elf that wishes to become a High Elf, or to turn it's back on the ways of the dark elves. They are given quests by the High Elves to complete before they will accept that they have truly reformed. Unfortunately, even when a Dark elf does all they ask, they can never be a full High elf. they cannot be trusted enough, and they cannot return to be a Dark elf, so they become a Twilight, trusted by neither. Most Twilight elves end up as soldiers. ^_^
The interesting thing is a High Elf, should they ever wish to become a Dark elf, does not become a Twilight elf. There is no name for that, because it has never happened before.
I don't know if Twilight Elves actually exist or if it was something I made up when I was a lot younger. It was so long ago now. hehe. I believe the name exists, but not my version. After all, just because an elf is born a dark elf, doesn't mean he wants to stay that way. It was made for a character of mine and I kind of liked the idea.

Skills are things you can choose for yourself. If you look at the two already submitted, it will give you a good idea. For example a thief may want to have a disguises, or lightning hands, or a mage may wish to be a healer rather than a fighter.

Ok, I see what you mean. I googled Twilight Elf and found that Tolkien had already created them or something. I liked to think that it's really just appearance, and not so much them being good or bad or high/low on the social ladder. I'll submit a character now, this seems like an interesting RP. I can't guarantee I'll be able to post in the next two days, but I'll try my best to.

that's fine. we've only got 2 charries at the minute. I wasn't expecting much activity until probably the weekend. everyone having lives and all.

Is it alright if I put down a custom class? Like a jack-of-all-trades Ranger class? Jack-of-all-trades, master of none.

Absolutely, so long as if another character is a ranger, or whatever, come in, he or she is obviously superior. I'm happy for your character to be good at a lot of stuff, but if someone concentrates on c=one skill, of course they would be better at it.

Well, my character will be a Ranger, with skills of stealth, blade, marksman, and magic. That means he is skilled and proficient in those areas, but doesn't have them all mastered. Like Aragorn in The Lord Of The Rings, if you know what I mean. He was skilled with the bow and the sword.

I think I'd rather you not have the magic, unless there is a particular reason he should have it, but the others I'm happy with. Example, the half elf has magic, but it's purely self healing.

It's very limited magic, only used to get by in the wilderness. Your basic, low-level flame spells and whatnot. Only things used to get by. Since he's an elf, he has some magic, but he's pretty much had no use for it and has neglected educating himself on it.

That should be fine, as long as it's very low level. Just to make it fair on everyone.

I didn't really think he would need it that much, only for survival out in the wilderness, so it's low-level magic. I've submitted my character :) When do we begin?

I've done the opening post, I'm just waiting on people to start playing and hopefully for some more charries.

Alrighty, well I'll get to posting! Just as soon as I can.

take your time. ^_^

There we go! My post is up. Thanks for letting me join :)

glad to have you. It's nice to have someone in my time zone for a change!

I was just thinking the same thing! Whenever I'm online and ready to do something, this place is dead. Sometimes I hate having to wait 10 hours for a plot to advance.
