Recruiting is postponed until further notice. I am currently building up the world more.

See thread here

Before the current world existed the old world, followed by its collapse. The gods of old, Vema, goddess of preservation and stasis, and Numos, god of chaos and change fought for control over the world. After eons of a constant stalemate between the two, Vema, in an attempt to restore the balance, sought help from a great engineer the likes of which has never seen before, and with him forged a weapon to defeat a deity, the Meta-Blade, supposedly able to rip not just the flesh, but the very essence of the soul, ridding its existence from the universe.

After defeating Numos, with the fall of one god, the balance tipped over to Vema who promised the mortal who helped her to live his life in the next world as a god-king. The old world ended with a blanket of white enveloping every corner of the universe. Vema exhausted all her power in preserving every living thing in the old world while creating a copy of the old world in an instant overlapping the new. Consequently, she was broken into many fragments in the form of crystals, one of which was in the hands of one of the royal families of a small country called Damasceane. The royal family stems from the line of the same mortal who helped Vema. His progeny has continued his legacy up to this day, keeping the crystal imprisoned. Until the end of time, the two deities lie dormant, or so the legend goes.

______________________________________________________________________________

The year was 2020 After Collapse (A.C.), in the world known as Essidor. A great continent of the north, one of only two giant land bodies, was a house of imperial strife for hundreds of years between the Oneshian empire to the north, hidden in the black mountains, and its former colony, the Damascean empire. But truces were signed, and deals were made to keep the peace. Gone was the age of Queens and Kings as Damasceane transformed into the modern day Meritocratic Constitutional Parliament utopia. An internal struggle between the five-clan-council of the houses that constitute the Damascean Aristocracy leads to the death of the Queen, and to the exile of a prince.

Thanks for giving this a read. The setting is a harmonious blend of high-adventure, fantasy, scifi and modern elements. Below are listed Roles needed to be filled out. I am up for discussion in case further information is required. How far will you venture out of the walls of the city you call home?

Available races:

Human, Wood Elf (available for characters from Veneziene or Velepine Islands), Dwarves (Limited to Oneshian characters), Gato (Lycans from Namgur)

Prince Alexis von Rozenberg: LeonardPCollins

Princess Victoire von Rozenberg: Leonard PCollins

Bodyguard to Alexis and childhood friend (any race): Searching.

Son/daughter of any house and friend of Alexis (Damascean human): Searching

(Additional roles will be added as necessary or according to suggestions)

[Bardiel]

Would you have any system in mind for use with the RP?

 

[LeonardPCollins]

Are you talking about whether 1 on 1, group, or dice? In case you are, I'm looking for a group roleplay.

 

[Bardiel]

I was indeed referring to a dice system. I could think of one supplied by @Grey that may be suitable to your hybrid setting.

 

[LeonardPCollins]

I am actually conflicted as to whether to use a dice system or not, but I'd appreciate it greatly if you could provide one.

 

[Grey]

I'm not sure to which system Bardiel refers - this is dimly reminiscent of Numenera, certainly.


Details are just sparse enough I can't immediately think of an appropriate one.

 

[Bardiel]

While not as au fair with as many systems, I was thinking of Crucible/Darkening Skies, due to the mix within the setting. Between courtly etiquette and high adventure, industrialisation and magic, Crucible as the kernal system with Essidor as the shell setting.

 

[Grey]

Oh, aye - it's meant to be pretty versatile, afterall. Good thinking, Bardy.


Would you like a link, Leonard?

 

[LeonardPCollins]

Thanks for helping me start out! I'd appreciate the link, yes. IF there's any detail you see needed, I'd like to hear what they are because I'm new here and I nearly have no idea what I'm doing.

 

[Bardiel]

Do you have any more information on the different cultures and/or peoples of Essidor? Any particular bits of the setting you are really keen on developing?

 

[LeonardPCollins]

Yes I compiling/writing an online encyclopedia about it. Even if it sounds a bit childish, I'd really want to develop bits on technology particularly weapon systems like tazer/electro gun hybrids. Apart from that, I'd like to make more settings where the story could go and creatures perfect for the setting. I've been thinking of a desert with a critically endangered species of tortoises of titanic sizes that swim in the sands. The huge carcasses they use are refurbished by the dune men into habitable cities to ward off frequent sandstorms. As for the rest, I'm looking at German-Franco cultures for inspiration.

 

[Grey]

Here's the core book, with the basic rules.


But this slightly more gonzo setting might be more comparable and has some slightly more advanced stuff.

 

[LeonardPCollins]

Looks like I still have a ways to go. I'll have o get better acquainted with the basics, which already makes my head spin a little.


 
Thanks again for the help. Maybe I'll postpone this RP until I have a solid grasp on the rules.

 

[Bardiel]

Taking time out to review your setting and ideas is usually a good idea, especially if you recognise areas you realise you can develop. There is the section on this site that covers research and development and other creative aspects, so you could post there too. I, personally, would be interest in taking part in either playing or discussing the setting, as I am sure others would be too.

Don't know why, but that reminds me of Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, in a good way.

 

[Oberons Veil]

If you are still looking for people in this I would definitely be interested in this kind of RP. It appears to be rather original and I really genuinely appreciate the kind of setting this is. :3

Thanks! I'll be doing what is suggested to me by continuing developing the world first until I feel like it has enough substance.

I would be down to bouncing ideas around, or just general input if you are wanting some kind of assistance. World Building is one of my hobbies in my spare time, along with RPing. (:3)

That would be greatly appreciated indeed! I've been solo building this for about four years and I had some priorities which delayed progress a little. Do I make a new thread on another board or can I directly contact you?

 

[Bardiel]

Why not try posting in this section, so that we can all assist?

For example, Grey has one open for their setting.

I have a thread open with a link to what I have currently.

 

[Oberons Veil]

This may be a stupid question but where is the link? ( )

[CrimsonEclipse]

I am interested in playing the role of the bodyguard of Alexis, if it's still open of course, and I'd like to be a Gato if possible.

Thank you for considering! However, I'm unfortunately delaying it because I have yet to fully develop the world. You can follow the link to the discussion in the roleplaying help section ^^

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

It's fine, also, it'd be nice to contribute to making the world. It's really fleshed out, as far as I can tell, and I think it has a lot of potential.
