Mysterious Writer
The Basic Idea:
I'm looking for someone to create a character, and play as them in a fantasy world of my design. I'll control the world, the many characters within (save for yours of course) and the events that take place around you. Think of me as the "DM" or "Narrator" if you will. In a world new and strange, you will have the opportunity to become whoever you wish; you could explore the forests and mountains in search of great hidden treasures, build up an army to strike back at the people who took your old life away from you, or whatever else tickles your fancy. Every choice is yours to make, but be weary, as there are always consequences to the actions you take.
Rules:
1. You only control your "Main Character," everything else is controlled by me. (I am top doggy).
2. No disregarding things that happen (if I say your character gets slapped and has no time to do anything about it, they get slapped...) I'll be fair though, my goal is to make it fun for you, so you can trust that the things that happen are for good reasons, and that I'll give your character ample time/plenty of moments to be cool (if that's what you want).
3. Make your character somewhat adventurous/interesting... (I don't want to narrate the daily life of a hermit fisherman who never leaves his hut by the river).
4. Have a Basic understanding of grammar (You don't need to be the next Hemingway, but I'd like to write with someone who... can write).
5. Enjoy writing (I'm not looking for someone who is trying to "win the game," but rather be a part of an interesting story).
6. You'll need to write in First Person/Present Tense, I'll be writing Second/Present Tense.
Example:
Me - "You enter the Lord's quarters, the room is decorated quite ostentatiously. Large gold trimmed paintings of the former kings hang about the walls, looking down on the elegant satin couches and rich carpets that fill the room. Behind a huge, ornate desk, Lord Dallas sits fervently going over a map of the High Lands with a magnifying glass - he doesn't appear to have noticed you. There are several decent hiding spots you could easily conceal yourself in, though the path directly to him is carpeted, and would likely make it hard for him to hear your approaching steps.
You - "I sneak up to Lord Dallas, walking along the carpet, draw my dagger out and go in for the kill. As I draw near I remember all the pain this man has caused me, and the ruin he has brought."
Important Notes:
You can die... I don't want to kill you, but I think the possibility of death will help keep the choices you make some what realistic.
Not unrelated, there is a sort of leveling system in place. the way it works is pretty simple, if you are a butcher, with no fighting experience and try to fight a soldier or mercenary... you're probably gunna get whooped. The way you would "level up" to fight them is just by having your character gain experience doing things. For instance, if say your butcher joins up with a knight, and said knight offers to teach you how to fight, you'll probably be more suited to fight with people. And keep in mind, any weapon you pick up, you'll need to learn how to fight with to really make use of it. (to some degree I will allow your character to learn how to use thing on there own though, so you don't always need t find people to teach you how to use things).
If you are interested fill out this Character Sheet and I'll get back to you if I think you're a good fit.
