Okay, this seems too freekin awesome to miss out on! Reserve me a spot! (if they are limited that is :P) expect my character by tomorrow evening or something like that :Du awesome RP Btw!

[Vasishta]

Thank you very much, bfb! And no, the positions aren't limited and we need all we can get. Looking forward to your character. Don't hesitate to ask me any questions you might have. Also, keep watching the section about the various peoples of the Ethnoi. I keep adding more things about the nature of the cultures.

This is really interesting, and I'd love to join!. I'll try to make a character by tomorrow. Are you alright if I message you with some questions?

[Vasishta]

Totally alright, except that I am not sure if I am allowed to reply to PMs. I am pretty sure I am. If not, you can post them here. Or, if you have the chat bar, you can find me and chat

Is there going to be a plot or is it a sandbox?

[Vasishta]

There is an over-arching plot, which is the prophesied everlasting Night that no one believes in except for the Mahdi. Many of the characters in the roleplay will be connected by the words of that prophecy and forced to come together for the Great Battle. But it all depends on how the Mahdi's plans work out. Plans, as we all know, are the best jokes.

Ideally, I would like characters who have a clear idea of what they want to do in the Ethnoi. You can take up a ruler character, forget about this prophecy nonsense, and focus on reforging the ancient Empire of the Sun, to unite all the lands once again.

Hi,

How many characters are we permitted to have in this story?

Furthermore, how similar do you plan to make this to the events of Wheel of Time? Many of your plot elements and factions seem very similar, which is fine, but how authentically should we RP it?

[Vasishta]

stormsoul19 - A fellow WoT fan! I thought we were a dying breed :)

It is heavily inspired/influenced by Wheel of Time, as you have rightly pointed out, but it is NOT Wheel of Time. All you need to know about the plot and RP will be found here - in the roleplay introduction, or through various posts in this OOC. I am only using the WoT world to help me create the universe. Not the plots or the characters.

I have an over-arching plot, as I have mentioned earlier, but it is merely a guideline to nudge us along. Beyond that, I want strong character motivations to move the story forward. So, if you are going to play your character authentically, that's all I am looking for.

You can have any number of characters you want. I noticed your character application. I understand that she is 17 and doesn't have much of a background, but can you write something about her? It also helps me understand your writing skills if I can see two or three paragraphs about the character and their history.

UPDATE: The Introduction now has notes on religion, technology, fashion and titles

Hi

I recently got inundated with a ton of assignments from work/school, but I will redo my character application this weekend.

When are we supposed to begin posting?

Thanks for hosting this RP; it looks awesome and I am excited to be a part.

[Vasishta]

You can start posting almost immediately as soon as your character is approved.

I am glad to see such interest and it will be great to have you. I will wait for your updated application.
