Centaurlot

[daughterofdon]

This is the OOC topic for the roleplay "Centaurlot"

This is a game for anyone interested in what happens when you combine a knight with his (or her!) horse. It's Arthurian in vision, but all of the characters are original.

[Irish Wolf]

dod, I think I love you.

I'm in, will cook up a character sometime tonight.

[daughterofdon]

Yay, thanks Irish Wolf! You're the perfect writer for this. :)

[Irish Wolf]

I almost died laughing. I was thinking abut my character (planning in an arrogant womanizer) and I couldn't help but think from my character's point of view, "They used to say I was hung like a horse but this...."

I'm gonig to have to work that into my character sheet or the IC somehow.

On a different note, my dear dod, will I be able to get one of the lovely drawings/paintings of yours, of my character, once he's finished?

[Irish Wolf]

Double post for me, my character is up.

[daughterofdon]

Sir Rion is perfect! I may very well make a picture for your character, but first I'm going to create a map.

[Irish Wolf]

*bows* Thank you. I decided to honor an old game of ours while creating him.

Ohhhh, I like your maps!

[Kohananinja]

Alright, I've sent in the profile for Anwen, hope you all like her. :)

I love Anwen!

Here is the map I created. Koh, you have a lot of choice as to which island Anwen can be from. Nephelle is from Iverna. The divisions in Centaurlot are its duchies.



I would like for more people to join. I think I will wait a little bit and plan my first post.

Edit: I forgot the scale and added it.

[Kohananinja]

I feel kind of drawn to Avalin for some reason...

[Irish Wolf]

I love the map dod.

I'm gonna be throwing up an recruitment thread later, once I get home from an extra (and thankfully short) shift at work, for a sci-fi game of mine. I think I'll throw in a link to Centaurlot.

[Irish Wolf]

So we gonna do this?

[daughterofdon]

Thanks for doing some advertising for us, Irish Wolf.

I just made my first post. I had some writer's block, I guess. But I'm ready to begin now. :)

[Irish Wolf]

Sweet, already mentally working on mine, gonna post after I get some sleep.

Question, how many hearts does a centaur have or if there's only one, which body did it come from? I mean a human's heart couldn't handle such a large body and the only part missing from the horse in a centaur is from the neck up.

[Kohananinja]

I've got a couple bites from my efforts as well, but they might need another week or so before they put up a character.

[daughterofdon]

I think it's totally reasonable to say that centaurs have two hearts. I've seen a few attempts to diagram centaur anatomy, but they never include the equine heart. If you look at horse anatomy, their heart would still be present in a centaur body because it is near their giant lungs. I don't know how the digestive system would work, though. They might even have two stomachs. We can refer to their bones and organs as upper and lower, I suppose-- "upper rib cage" and "lower rib cage," etc.

[Kohananinja]

Alright, first post is up! I have a felling Rion is going to continue to be cranky.

[Irish Wolf]

GAH! Another practitioner of the black arts! GUARDS! Arrest that woman!

[daughterofdon]

I love the action that has immediately erupted in this game. Thanks guys for writing so well. I'm going to post a profile for the sailor, since he has been drawn into the game rather unexpectedly.

[Kohananinja]

Awesome, I can't wait to see what you cook up dod. :) I also just posted, so it should give both of you something to work with.
