Hi my name is Azuria. Now that this rp is ready to move forward I want to get to know you all a bit better. What I have in mind for this rp is one where everyone get's a chance to start on a level playing field and shape their characters as the rp goes along, and everyone's characters starting from the bottom line. The main purpose of this is to deal with players that sort of like to try this and that and aren't really committed to an rp, that's okay, I hope you all stick around but I cannot force you. By starting at the bottom and growing, I can allow new players coming in to start with a little more knowledge and experience so they don't have to start from the beginning and play catch up. The advantage you all have (besides helping to shape the story from the beginning) is the opportunity for unique classes, items, whatever I can think of, with each event that may or may not come again. This is not any type of rp in particular, not a romance or a combat, more of a mix of everything. That being said, it can be hard to make all of that work, combat in particular, especially when not everyone is thinking alike.
So what I want to ask you all right now, is if everyone is comfortable with active text combat, rather than dice or some other system. Sometimes people believe their characters can do so much more, like from the start of an rp their character's are the shit, slapping people around like it's nothing. If you feel you're likely to go overboard please let me know, because then I will implement stats or dice rolls so its fair for everyone, it's not your fault I just want everyone to have a good time. In the case of active text, I will have the final vote when it comes to NPC fights.
In the case of two players fighting we can use two different systems. Either I can be the final vote between the two if they cannot decide which of their character's would win against the other, or we can have a democratic vote where they can each pitch in OOC why they think their character would beat the other and whoever has the most votes wins, the battle will be decided with that character winning the battle.
I also want to have a little bit of information here and there for certain classes, professions, etc. Not everyone knows the same thing, for example, if you go to the library and research all the animals in an area, you're more likely to be better off than another person who wanders in, but as I cannot hide it from everyone's eyes, please do not assume what you know is what your characters know. If you read something about the animals in your area but your character has never seen a book or heard anything, you can bet they have no idea what is about to happen.
Here is the basic outline for the character sheet, again negotiable based on what everyone wants. I initially pictured everyone as being a poor vagrant, but then for a character you're really just making a pretty face and a personality huh? Kind of hard for 11 people to make unique backstories about being a vagrant. Anyways so I will allow character's to have 'amateur' level knowledge of professions, classes, whatever so they can get started and to help them develop their backstories, but with lots of room to grow. If you all think its more fair everyone start as the "blank slate" vagrant please let me know.
Also you're all human. Sorry :3
Name: (INSERT REALLY COOL EDGY NAME HERE)
Age: (I'd prefer ~18 range since everyone's characters are amateur level's in things at best so it makes more sense)
Profession: (blank, or your character's "former" profession, amateur level. ex. travelling merchant, farmer, rancher, fish monger, blacksmith, miner, etc.)
Class: (blank, or apprentice level. ex. knight, archer, fire mage, priest, etc. Ask me for any unique ones particular to this rp, or if you have an idea in mind and aren't sure it's allowed. I'll probably allow it.)
Appearance: (description or picture)
Abilities: (none, or limit of one if you have a class. Maybe a short description if its not self explanatory) ex. fire mage = fireball)
Money: (0 - 1000, the currency of avalon is called Au. Again use common sense. If your character has basically stayed alive until now by begging or living off the land they probably have nothing. If they are peasants stick with 200. If they came from wealthy families, 750 isn't a lot but its more than enough to get you going in this rp despite the economic situation caused by the dragon)
Items: (none, or two small inexpensive items. ex. locket your mother gave you, and a bracelet your sister gave you.) OR (one medium non expensive item. ex. Umbrella.) (You can have an item that pertains to your class assuming it's pretty poop. ex. wooden staff - mage/priest)
Profile: (optional if you want to discover your character through the rp, maybe they don't have any goals but meet Sir Gottfried and gain an appreciation for knights, desiring to become one, etc. Write 3 sentences about your character that depicts their likes, dislikes, personality, interests, goals in life, desires, whatever. Please don't go over 10 my eyes will melt otherwise.)
Lastly, I may attempt to introduce new elements into this rp from time to time, make adjustments to how items or abilities work, etc. Think of them like game updates. Really its just me trying to fix mistakes, or occasionally introduce new ones.
