Welcome, one and all, to a roleplaying adventure where you will fight for your survival along with your party.
Generic? Maybe. Let me get into details.
What follows below is a brief description of the general story of the starting RP.
Type: Fantasy
Age: Medieval
Races: Keep it rather humanoid. While I don't mind the occasional animality (they would live in the Center (see below for more information)), there can't be too many crazy races running around. If you are unsure, please ask. There's no reason we can't compromise.
Story: (This is where it gets long)
Your character is travelling, for one reason or another. He/She may be an adventurer, a doctor, heck, whatever you want, really. The point is, you are currently on a convoy heading to the small town of Saltbottom, which is a bustling city filled with all kinds of people, merchants, and dangers. Unfortunately for you, the convoy is attacked by a ferocious monster halfway trough, and the carriages are destroyed one after another.
YOU play the role of a character who lived through the events and is now finding him/herself in a battle for his life against the creature who caused your peril in the first place. Whether you play a battle-oriented character or not, your first task will be to survive the battle against the fiend that caused you to be stranded in the middle of the Ahkaja forest, far from civilization. Your only help is your own skill and those fortunate enough to survive the catastrophe that has befallen you.
Will you take up your sword and fight?
Will you apply your knowledge of the lands to find the safest path for the party to travel?
Whatever your skills may be, you will have to find a use for them in the forest of Ahkaja until you reach civilization in The North.

This is a introductory adventure to introduce you the continent of Aydel. I will use previously written history to make the world more alive. Political battles, a cold war heating up and your character is in the middle of it all. What you do with it is up to you and your choice could alter the destiny of the entire land.
A very basic rundown of the history is as follows:
"The North" is often described as the birthplace of magic. The country houses many different kinds of creatures, humanoid or the like, and is official open to all intelligent beings. However, beneath the kind surface lies an unwritten law of disdain against those not visably human. While they are not excluded by law, extremists are around every corner and magic is still something to be shunned and scolded.
It is ruled by an old king, and the throne is the clear goal of all of the people close to him. While the internal struggle is strong, as is the external. "The South" is the large deserts and mountains to the far south of Aydel. It was previously ruled by the late King Amses II, who was assassinated under mysterious circumstances a few months prior to the start of the roleplay. The South is now in chaos, and many people are escaping the country, either fleeing to the uninhabited lands between the south and the north, where no kings rule but also where there is no soft tavern bed for the night, or taking refuge in The North, despite the clear prevalent dislike of southerners in The North.
You are for some reason part of a caravan travelling towards the town of Saltbottom in The North. That is when the adventure begins.

I am looking for somewhat experienced roleplayers that can handle the free level of raw power allowed in the creation of your character as well as the general, raw tone of the land. Aydel is a magical country, but it is also cold and cruel, which I am looking for people who can emphasise. Human racism and so on is not uncommon, brutal murders and political deception are all core part of this cold, whimsical land.
If you are interested, fill out the template below and I'll be available if you have any questions on the setting, the magic, the characters, and so on and so forth.
Name: (keep it medieval)
Race: (keep it humanoid, playing a human is fine)
Gender:
Age:
Looks:
Background:
Family:
Goals: (Not required, but you should have some form of goal. This might of course change over the course of the RP!)
Skills: (If there's something you would like to emphasise. Thievery, fishing, hunting, linguistics, you name it.)
Supernatural Abilities: (Magic is allowed, and we can of course be flexible with inventing new types of abilities, but if you have something crazy in mind, discuss it with me first)
Equipment: (That he/she carries with him and could have survived the attack).

If nothing else, I very much look forward to roleplay with you and I hope that we can create an enticing story together!
