Fantasy Game

[Rune]

Right now I am deverified as I have been gone quite a while, However when I get activated again, I would like to start up a fantasy game.

I would like the world to be one of our own creation. Lots of magic and fantasy races. There should be some overall storyline threat such as an invading barbaric horde, evil sorcerors intent on ruling the world and more.

The details of the world can evolve during game play as the story develops.

To start. I was thinking that the character creation can be done be committee. Your soul has been summoned to this fantasy world to help save them from the big bad. You will be forced into bodies and roles not of your own choosing.

The details of your race, profession, etc, will be determined by the other players based off your roleplaying and description of your personality. Of course, just desserts is allowed. Sometimes it could be fun to walk a mile in someone elses shoes. For example, if the group deems it so, the heroic, yet physically challenged character can become a powerful barbarian. A strong willed but petite girl can become a honorable knight. Or the macho bully could end up in the form of the young princess.  Trapping someone in a body that the others feel is suitable is also allowed and encouraged.

Let me know your thoughts on this and if you think it could work.

[Aedent]

I am quite interested in this; it seems very fun and challenging.

[DKDBSD]

Interesting. Is this high fantasy swords and sorcery?

[Rune]

I guess that would depend on your defination of "High Fantasy"

I do see magic as existing, so players could be sorcerers or people with innate abilities.

I do foresee a pleathora of fantasy races. humans would dominate, but elves, minotaurs, wolfen, nymphs, orcs, centaurs, and more would be allowed.

As for gming. I see each of us adding to the story and plot with new developments as we go along. That way everyone is part of the storytelling process and it isn't left ot one person to GM.

Next question, freeform or system based?

[Aedent]

Sound great, Is mainly how I enjoy Role-playing.  Not having a Single Gm add to a very complex an entertaining storyline. But there should be a place already created and a grand storyline to follow at least if not it might take too many directions.

[Rune]

Yay! I am active again. Before I start the game, I would like a total of the number of people who would like to play.

Please continue to discuss. What would you like to see in the game. Myself, I was thinking about starting in a small city on the border of a neighboring barbarian Empire. Slavery is common in this world. The Barbarians may invade or the heroes may be sent to stop the invasion.

What else do people want from the setting.?

[DKDBSD]

Well I'd like this to stay away from anime influences.

[Aedent]

By anime influence what do you mean?

and yes that sound good, normally I enjoy playing a role of a hero but I would like to try out villain. Also I would iek to see that this story doesn't follow a cliche that Hero win but in fact i would like to see that it all depend on the actually skills with in the game itself

Oversized swords, cat girls though they are things like that occasionally I prefer to do a more realistic fantasy.

[Aedent]

hmm, I understand this but I'm kinda confuse by the term you used "realistic Fantasy" sounds rather orthodox. But I too would like to eliminate odd  element of pure anime, something in the realm of Mythology. Now too imaginative but not too realistic. but then again I'm fine with just about anything sense i have no preference, other then avoiding reality base rps

Well I mean ok realistic is a bad word but I mean more along the lines of Lord of the Rings or the Sabriel novels.

I see that you mean,  I'm more in to a style with a bit more fantasy in it. But now i understand what you meant.

[DKDBSD]

Well again I like a bit of variety some times I want Anime somes I don't. But it's not up to me.

[pendarious]

this actually seems interesting.....i might give it a shot i suppose.

[Aedent]

True true! X3

[Rune]

I am not that found of anime cat girls myself. However, if someone wanted to do something like Larry Niven's Kzinti, then I would be alright with it.

If I were to start the intro thread. I will need one victim... err subject to be summoned while the rest of us decide upon their fate. Once that character is set, we will move on to the next player.

I'll volunteer. Though I may regret it. XD

[Rune]

Before we begin, do people prefer freeform or system based?

[DKDBSD]

Never done system based well not a well organised system.

[Aedent]

Same here

[Sessha]

 If it's still open I wouldn't mind getting in on this?

[DKDBSD]

If it's still open I wouldn't mind getting in on this?

Hopefully it is.

[Rune]

Absolutely, the more involved, the more fun it will be. If the group gets too large, we can always splinter off.

I will start the summoning thread. DKDBSD can be summoned. The rest of us can take the rules of the Magicians who are summoning the newest heroes. Once the first hero is set, we can continue with the next until all of us have characters.

I will post the link to the thread shortly.

Shiny I assume I should wait until you've decided before looking? It'll make it more surprising.

[Rune]

Here is the link.

Feel free to post a little about your soul's background and personality. That way we might be able to get some insight into what type of character you prefer. (You can also drop hints here as well)

[DKDBSD]

Ah I think I see. I think I'll see what happens. It's a game of chance. But ask me any questions you might have about my rping.

[Rune]

I posted it in the Non Consentual Exotic section. Only because I didn't want to impose any limits on what people may want out of the game. However, that does not mean that those limits need to be fully realized unless people want them to.

[DKDBSD]

Do you need any input from me?

[schnookums]

I might be interested in this as well, it sounds like it'd have a lot of potential

[Xero]

This definitely sounds like it could be a quite fun role play. I'm down for it.

[Rune]

Do you need any input from me?

Actually... yes.

If you could post the arrival of your spirit. Give us some insight into your personality by your thoughs. Relay what is happening from your point of view. Give us some insight into who you were before your soul was summoned.

As far as anyone else who wishes to join. We will play the various red robed wizards until it is our turn to be summoned. Feel free to help in the creation process of the heroes.

I shall do so in a few moments.

[DKDBSD]

I hope that helps. ^_^ It's quite difficult to post from nothing.

[Rune]

It is a start. Do you have any preferences as to the character. Class? Race? etc.

I am thinking that it might be easier to have your own spirit help in the molding process to help along the creation.

If anyone else wants to jump in as one of the other red wizards before we create more characters, now would be the time to do it.

Note that the red wizards will not be our long term player characters.

Well I was hoping for an assassin but still it's up to you guys.

[Rune]

It seems that none of the other players who expressed an interest have enough motivation to join in. Lets make this simpler. I will post six character concepts. They will be the recipeints for souls from out own modern world. That way we can each simply select a character and then move on to the adventure without having to spend time on the character creation.

The 6 characters are:

Centaur - Soldier - Male
Nymph - Nature Mage - Female (Rune)
Human - Knight - Male
Dark Elf - Assassin - Female (DKDBDS)
Ka'Taan (Lion Man) - Hunter - Male
Human - Barbarian - Female

[DKDBSD]

Cool. You know I'm going to heavily draw on Assasins Creed 2 for the Dark Elves. Also DKDBSD dude.

This image is a base of my girl I don't know any dark elf names. http://c2.api.ning.com/files/uTe6u2oo9t8VHdwzUCsOgT9tZMgbyNLtAU6vwAPLBaXFFBr9s5ko39K2LWKgFeNTV8HQaOq18JTb-nMbBiD4FrFgXQpmjyIb/DarkElfSpear.jpg

[Rune]

Very nice, now we just have to get a couple more players.

[schnookums]

Sorry, I wasn't sure if there had been room for myself in this or no. I didn't want to just jump into the thread as a wizardy sort forming the soul.

[Rune]

Well.. if you would like to play, which character would you prefer?

[DKDBSD]

Yes I'd really like to get to work. When they appear will they be naked or clothed? I figure naked is the best bet.

[schnookums]

Hrm...still thinking...er....not sure I care for any of those choices *looks embarrassed* Can I gender swap one of the ideas? Switch the centaur to female?

[Rune]

I was really hoping for a well endowed stud of a centaur...

I would like to have some males in the game instead of just female characters.

[schnookums]

Ah, well. *shrug* I don't generally play males. Good luck with this.

[DKDBSD]

begin wheeeeeeeeeeen?

[Miles Trent]

I have to say. This is a pretty interesting roleplay. Quite a challenging one too. I wouldn't mind joining. Certainly wouldn't pass up the opportunity for character generation too, if anyone doesn't mind.

The lion man idea appealed to me, but I hope people didn't mind a few changes. If not, a viable character slot to hang in the air.

Hash'mal (Tiger man - White variety) - Monk - Male

The esoteric Hash'mal clans come from the far east, the large, muscular bodied tiger men who were considered to be as difficult to handle as the barbarians. Their coats tell from which area each individual is from. Yellow beneath black are native to the hostile jungles in the south, and the white beneath black call the northern mountains and ice fields home. Although few consider them civilized due to their strange ways, customs and rituals, the Hash'mal are far from being a scattered race, unified under great kingdoms and systems, ruled by elder patriarchies, monarchies and even empires. The tiger men's trademark personalities are their strength, bravery and intimidating ferocity. Their females are known to be more subtle, secretive and discrete. All Hash'mal are known to be great fighters, skilled in a variety of martial weapons, only utilizing magic to augment their abilities rather than in combat. They do not take kindly to strangers, considered distrusting to many other than those of their kind, and very few travel the world in search for fame and fortune. Most who leave home are traditionally bound to a personal mission, of which they may only return once they have benefitted from the wisdom of their quest.

Our hero is a white tiger man of the Angbook Mountains in the far east*. He was trained to be a monk, a fast, precise and hard hitting hand to hand combatant, ever since he was a cub by the priests of a certain secret cult. His training has hardened his body and quickened his reflexes, as deadly as any weapon could be, and constant mental preparation and testing has steeled his mind to resist psychic attacks and/or domination. However, even if he was raised to be a monk, that did not mean he has no vices, coming a little unconventional and unorthodox than traditional with his ways.

Here's some brief detail on my character's soul. I'll come up with more as I go along:

A cool headed, good hearted, normally shy and timid kind of man. He spent much of his time with the few friends he has rather than out in the open society. Usually the targets of bullies in his early life and later on his more dominant peers. His previous occupation shut him off from much other social contact, except from the world of martial arts, both western and eastern, which he was keen and willing to pick up. It almost became a bit of an obsession to horde and practice with a large collection of swords, knives and staffs he stashed together over a long period of time. When he still lived, he craved for the strength he needed to return to the light, having passed on with many regrets of not being able to live his life to the fullest and of not being of more use to the world at large.

*I'm trying to make it as least Japanese as possible and more Chinese/Siamese here. Mountains equivalent to Tibet. Jungles equivalent to south east asian rainforests. I have yet to decide on a specific martial art but I'll leave it open to a customizable move set.

Just a note. I wont be able to start posting for at least a day or two. I'll try my best to get back by wednesday. I also do understand that the whole neko thing is coming into mind when one reads the stuff up above but my intention was to create a character template that is inspired from the main villain in Kung Fu Panda, Tai Lung. The tiger men I have in my head are far from 'cutesy'.  :-)

EDIT: A personal preference. If my character's soul ends up as a non-human hero, I will be abstaining from the hankey pankey and will just be roleplaying as normal. Sorry.

That sounds cool honestly it made me think more of the Kajit in the Elder Scroll then the cat girls and boys.

[Miles Trent]

Come to think of it, you're right. I almost forgot about them.

Woots much! Extra reference!  :D

Lets hope this keeps going. I know it took me a while to post but I wasn't sure what I could post before. My only method was to have Angeline head off on her own for a bit.

[DKDBSD]

I may know someone who's could be interested in this.

Rune seems to have disappeared though....

*Sigh* I know which sucks I hate walking in peoples rpies with out consent.  It kind of feels like walking in the grave. :/

[Miles Trent]

I know the feeling too well.  :-\

[DKDBSD]

I know the feeling too well.  :-\

*Sigh and we'd finally gotten started* I'd figure rune was just feeling erm discouraged it was a really good idea but barely anyone wanted in.

[Rune]

Sorry gor my disappearance. Been fighting off a summer cold that really sucks!

When I start feeling better, I will try to get things rolling again.

[DKDBSD]

Ah cool.

[Miles Trent]

Im still around but I wont be able to post often. I can probably manage one post a day on good days. A little busy prepping a big move that'll drag all the way until early october. Otherwise, I dont mind continuing. :D
