     The golden colored anthro fox was named Kratine, and she was born in the royal family in the kingdom of Krultos. Before she was born her father, Sypron, had ruled for hundreds of years trying to be a just and true king. In those times, the land prospered and people were happy, but in the last few years before Kratine was born, things weren't going so great. There were some great battles with the neighboring kingdoms; some of them were over the kings of the lands trying to win for their sons the hand in marriage of (name pending), Sypron's first daughter and sister to Kratine. (Name pending) was greatly sought after by the princes of the other kingdoms, and she knew it all too well. (Name pending) had ideas of her own, she was after greater power, and as such started many plots to undermine the negotiations with the kings of the other kingdoms.  She was also involved in a scheme to cause her father's premature death by magickal means, and she succeeded; however, Sypron had stumbled upon the ritual and was able to perform a small counter spell after ordering the arrest of his daughter and her conspirators. Kratine, being a young kit at the time, was of no threat to her sister; in fact, (name pending) had plans for her after their father was dead. Sypron was not unaffected by the death spell; he was dying, but the counter spell kept it from being a quick death.  In the mean time, before his death, he was able to conduct a banishing spell, and he banished (name pending) to the rift void so that she wouldn't be a problem after he named Kratine his successor.  Sypron died a couple months later, leaving Kratine to rule the land with a trusted advisor until she was capable of ruling the land around the castle of her own accord.

     Kratine, had been ruling the land for over a hundred years now, and she was a just and true queen. The kingdom prospered and the people were happy. The fields were lush with grain, the tavern was booming, and the market was profitable. Odd things were beginning to happen though of late; the dark elves of the forest were becoming restless, and the sea seemed to be churning exceptionally strong creating lots of storms. Kratine couldn't explain any of it, but it seemed as though an evil magick was afoot. A few days ago there was an explosion near the tavern and it was now missing most of the roof and part of one wall. Random events were happening all over the castle, and reports were streaming in of vandalism and theft. Despite ordering extra guards and extra patrols, they were unable to find any perpetrators.  Unbeknownst to her, (name pending) had found a way to make contact, and was preparing a major campaign against Kratine planing to overtake her 'rightful place.'

     I won't claim to be GM material, and to be honest, I'd rather just play characters in a story already in progress.  I searched through many of the requests, and all of the large group games; i found one that might have worked for me, but it seems to have died out having no posts since 2008. I want a world where magick is practiced openly, yet not a main purpose for the people. All classes and races are welcome, and it should be a freeform rp based upon saving (or destroying) the kingdom of Krultos.  If you can come up with a plausible explaination for how a creature was created, you are welcome to create any from mythology; however, it might be detrimental to create some sort of monstrously huge creature that overpowers the capability of the kingdom to defend.  All manor of role play is encouraged as well, whether it's combat, general commerce, or sexual situations. I do not approve of god-moding, and it is strongly discouraged. Characters can get damaged or even killed; however, it should be up to the character's player (pm discussion encouraged) to decide whether or how a hit is taken, and whether it will kill them or not. I'm not opposed to a dice role system; however, i've no experience using it in a text based role play environment.  I will attempt to gm the world, but if anyone else wants to help with the position, I might accept the help. Also, it would work better to have another major player to play Kratine's sister and possibly someone to play her contact (or consort.)  This is just an interest thread to see how many will respond to this type of game, and want to play.

Queen's sister
Contact or consort for the queen's sister
captain of guard
tavern keeper
blacksmith
guards 1,2,3,4,5, and 6
vamps and worgs allowed

20 year old male anthropomorphic bovine of mostly brown color and a little white (mostly on face)  (player is 43)

A former slave to the dark elves, is now roaming in the general direction of Krultos. has been forced labor and stablehand. Unsure of his orientation.


character descript and abilities On two legs, he stands 7'4" and weighs about 550. He is very muscular and generally large like any herdbeast would be. (basically a minotaur.) He has many battle scars as well as intensive scarring on his wrists. He is capable of fooling most anyone into thinking that he is a non-sentient regular bovine unless they inspect him closely.

Offensive: He is average proficiency with melee weapons, and limited range weapon ability other than throwing knives and darts.
Pitchfork
scythe
horns (he has enough weight to force his horn(s) to thrust completely through a normal human shape causing major damage and possibly
       incapacitate victims)
hooved hands and feet (**hurts a lot to get hit with hooves**, A blow to a joint can cause major sprains or possible breakage
        causing major pain and limited use to complete inability to use the limb, A blow to any bone structure can fracture or even break the affected
        bone)

horse tranquilator darts
stampede (can cause a stampede in herdbeast type animals that are near him, also capable of bull rushing victims.)
dark elf enchanted bracelets (has quite a few amazing abilities, unremovable without the correct words (barely movable on his wrists))


Defensive:
Thick hide (Inherent ability of high tolerance to pain, injury and head butts 33}:)
Leather or chain mail armor (a very accomplished blacksmith could probably make him some 'special' plate mail armor, but that would be an
        extremely hefty price and he wouldn't be able to afford it.)
dark elf enchanted bracelets


Background: Taken at age 7 by a black anthropomorphic horse, he was unwillingly morphed from a human boy into a rather scrawny anthropomorphic bovine, and forced to do hard labor on the small farm that the horse creature inhabited. He never learned the true nature of his first master's intentions believing them to be just about doing his hard work. By age 14, he had developed into a larger framed creature with above average muscle build. It was at this time that a major spellcaster battle began between the horse creature and the dark elves of Ironwood forest. Having successfully killed his first master, these elves who, after finding him hiding form the battle, placed the bracelets upon his wrists, and they trained him in the job of stablehand. He learned the names of most of the family who claimed him from the horse creatures home, but he never spoke while he was living on his second master's land; they had to name him themselves, and that is how he got the name Ruminant. If asked to spell it, he would be unable, having only learned to read and write in the small common everyday life words.

Having been raised on the family farm, he was familiar with all aspects of running one. In addition, his family was involved in blacksmith work and enchanting weaponry and armor. While having been around the smithy, he really had not learned much of the trade aside from how the enchantment process works during the creation of the item. enchanting had become his specialty in the family, learned from his mother. The family kept a boock of enchanting records in which was written over the ages the various enchantment rituals learned and performed by them; it was entrusted to his care.
