You may edit this first post as you see fit.
STFU! Don't tell me what to do! D:<
This is what I consider to be the highlights of the roleplay; there is A LOT more info in the roleplay tab, so go there to learn more.
NOTE: This roleplay now has more than ten characters. I'm not going to stop accepting characters, but when you join, keep in mind that because there are many characters, you won't always get the spotlight.
Also, one more thing. If there is a religion/deity/group/location or otherwise that you wish to add to this world, please PM me. I left it mostly blank so that players and other people could contribute.
Setting
This is a steampunk/fantasy roleplay set in an alternate Earth that we’ll just call Retha to save us infinite confusion. It will have a TV-series like plot, that is, one short plot after another within a general, open plot, some of which can be suggested by players. There will also be “events” to keep things interesting. The events will be directed by NPC’s as played by me, but the characters will have the freedom to do what they want. There is always room for character plots and unexpected twists. I expect lots of humor, drama, and action. Emphasis on the humor!
This may or may not eventually become a humongous fantasy world, but for now… the sprawling, prosperous kingdom of Anastoria is located in the province of Corbele, which is surrounded by the Loperian Sea on three sides. All of this is located on the continent of Paldona, which rests in the Kunel Ocean and serves as part of the dam that forms the Loperian Sea. Naturally, detailed information on the locations in the Kingdom of Anastoria will be revealed in the places tab. Other places in Corbele include the Kingdom of Ciredia, other Kingdoms, several cities, towns, and villages, but we won't focus on those just yet.
The time is early spring, while the wind is still a bit chilly but the flowers are blooming and the sun's warming the earth. The Month is, more specifically, May.
Here is a close up of Corbele. I only marked the most important locations on the map, so there's more to it than what's there.
General Plot
The main plot revolves around the conflict between magic, technology, and religion, and how people interact with each other based on these three subjects. It’s also about the conflict between the Kingdoms of Anastoria and Ciredia. This is just the plot in general; I’ll be focusing more on the smaller chapter/episode esque plots and events that will happen as the story progresses. The main plot can only end in one of three ways; it’s up to the characters to decide which fate will fall upon the two Kingdoms.
Magic
You can do what you want with it, I only require four things, which are listed below. Note that necromancy is allowed, but only on animals, not people. Whoever brings an animal back to life, controls that animal.
--Your eyes glow when you use magic.
--You must be within hearing and/or seeing distance to use magic on a person/object/thing.
--You can’t control someone with magic. (A.K.A Powerplaying)
--Using magic drains your strength. Using more than you have kills you.
Otherwise, you have freedom to use it how you want. If you’re not sure what you’re doing with magic is appropriate or not, PM me before you do it and I’ll tell you.
Technology
You can’t really make rules for this, but here are some guidelines.
There are no computers, cellphones, etc, because that’s considered “advanced” technology, and we don’t want advanced technology. =D
Guns are around, but they’re not common. At least, not as common as traditional weapons. You won’t find them in a market stall; you’ll have to search for them and be willing to pay a lot for them. Unless you can make them yourself, then there’s no problem.
I’ll add more here as I see fit.
Races
You can be any race you want; you can be an existing race, like an Elf, or you can make your own. I only require that:
--They fit within the roleplay universe. No aliens, sorry.
--They aren’t ridiculously over powered.
--If they’re hybrids, they’re only the offspring of TWO different races/species. Not three, not four, not twenty.
Rules
--Follow RPG’s rules.
--Don’t Godmod; it’s lame.
--No explicit or r-rated material please.
--Your character must balance out. You must have at least one physical weakness, but I expect more. D:<
NPC's
The King (Played by me)
Harpy (Bar Owner)
City/Royal Manor Guards
