Okay, this sounds interesting enough. Though, I did have a few questions before I try my hand at actually 'forging' the character I had in mind. You know, to ensure I won't obstruct anything, break a rule, kick a puppy, and what else may happen in my confusion.

1. The Races:
Although I (And others.) have a basic idea what each race is. Humans are... humans. Elves are treehuggers. Beast-folk are humanoid animals. Draconians are humanoid dragons. Drows are sneaky, dark elves. Orcs are green-skinned powerhouses. Ya-da, ya-da, yeah we've all been here before. Still, what's so special about each race? Why would we like to choose an orc character over a human? You know, differences.

2. Magic:
Okay I don't need to know what this could do. But is there any set limit? Are only certain races able to have this?

3. Brands:
Ehm, yeah. What enhancements do these brands give a character. Magical? Or something along the lines of a physical or mental ehancement? (Like super strength, intelligence, telekenisis, etc.)

4. Alternate Form:
What other form? Why do we get this, and what is its purpose? Do we really need such a thing? It's not explained very well, and thus it has no real purpose other than... having it.

5. Posting limit/requirement:
Okay, this is a question about your 'Don't join if you can't post regularly.' rule. How much do you want us to post, and how long can we delay our posts?

1. It depends what you want to do with a character. Since you know what each race is good at, you pick your race according to what kind of fighting style and personality your character has. If you want a simple-minded beserker, and orc would be a good choice, if you want an intelligent geomancer you choose an elf. The only thing to add is how the races react to each other. Humans range from open-minded to bigots, Drow are distrustful of other races, Elves believe that all races are equal, Orcs view all other races as puny but harbour no other grudges and the Beast-Folk and Draconians have an ongoing rivalry.

2. There are no limitations on magic as long as it doesn't make you a god.

3. The brand's enchantment is completely up to you, all I require is that it improves certain abilities and adds others, one being the alternate form.

4. The alternate form is the embodiment of your character's personality. Using the two characters I mentioned earlier, the Orc could be a giant, flaming golem composed of stone whereas the Elf might be some sort of nature spirit.

5. I expect a few posts every week unless you have a good excuse not to. However, I would rather you spent some time on posts instead of blurting out whatever bilge you can concoct in a minute.

I have edited my character's stats as asked. I'm having trouble responding to PM's. That is to say I don't know how to do it...

[Flexar]

Don't worry, it's happened to me before. The button just won't show sometimes.

[Ginko]

This seems like a brilliantly interesting RP. ^^ I will be creating a elf or drow character (haven't quite decided yet) and will get a character sheet up as soon as I can.

[Flexar]

I have now put up descriptions for all the countries, so if you want to know more about a country so you can model your character's backstory around it, you can go and have a look.

[Auroria]

Sounds like a wonderful roleplay. I will be posting an elf characfter ^^ Just let me pull up my characters.

[RainbowFace]

I really like the idea of this Roleplay ^^ I'd like to create a character, thought I'm having trouble on deciding what I should play...
Also, may we be a race other than the 4 shown? (say, a Demon, or just a regular troll)

[Flexar]

There are 6 races, not 4. I would prefer it if you were one of the 6 main races, since I had hoped for The Serpent to be the only supernatural being, but if you insist on being something else put your character forward and I'll make a decision. And no, you can't be a common or garden troll, since they are not a civilised species. The closest thing you can be to one is an Orc.

[RainbowFace]

Ah, Okay.
I was just wondering. Thanks for clearing it up for me ^^

Question! If we want to become an Orc, or Dark elf, (primarily orc), can we still join the Sol side? Meaing be part of the Garthinian Military

[Flexar]

If you want to make a character now, you have to join Sol's side. All the slots for Luna's branded are taken up. I did say that no race really owes alliegance to either god any longer.

[Ang-cat]

I'd really love to rp! I sent in my profile already, and I started roleplaying 5 years ago but I haven't done so in months so I'm sorry if I'm a little rusty at first.
Also, I think I filled out my brand's enchantment wrong...

[Ang-cat]

Also, I changed the "alternate form", but I can't pm you back.

[blacksky]

May I join the side of Sol? And reserve that till tonight when I shall finish the character sheet?

[Flexar]

You can only join Sol's side, all the other slots are taken, so feel free. That place is as good as yours as long as your bio is acceptable.

[blacksky]

I am sorry for taking forever but I submitted my character.

Um I have a question about the rp, since we have such a large selection of players should we develop a posting order so people do not get left behind? Just a suggestion

[Flexar]

If someone cannot post for however long, they can allow others to godmod their character. We have two groups that will spend time away from each other and together, so posting order would slow the roleplay down too much.

We have now started.

I have exams next week, I'll let you know if need to go on hiatus for a week! :s
