"The March of Progress"

Welcome aboard RPers and prospective joiners. I am Vit, pleased to meet you. This is the March of Progress main OOC thread, and is the place for any questions, ideas, notices and general chatter relating to the RP.

I want the character concepts to be mostly down to you guys and to encourage some creativity and diversity, so if you have an idea you're not quite sure or or need some advice on, by all means ask.

Hoi, hoi.

Do you have any sort of limit on characters per person? I've three in mind, and I'd like to know what limitations may-or-may not exist before developing any of them further. Nothing worse than having a well developed character rot away, after all.

Edit: Oh, and as two of those ideas are mages, might you be willing to expand on how magic works in The Explicarium? More specifically, are mages limited to a given type? Where to they draw their power? Might being a mage enable one to enhance their physical abilities?

[VitaminHeart]

Hello there!

Not hard limit on characters, you can have as many as you can handle. I'll probably end up with at least four.

Magic, (I'll add this into The Explicarium soon) as I see it, is a natural form of focusing the energy that mages and magical creatures manufacture in their bodies. It can be used in many ways. Many mages will have an affinity towards one ability or another and may develop it spontaneously, but other 'spells' can be learned through training. Their power is drawn from the magical energy thier body manufactures. Like blood, it replenished itself over time, but does not do so quickly. As a result a mage can get drained by using magic, and doing so too severely or too frequently can make the caster unwell. Spells that can enhance physical ability do exist.

So the Mana/Eregorn explanation, then. Good to know.

*plots* I guess I'll start throwing characters at you tomorrow. You cannot stop it! MWAHAHA!
