give 'em hell, kid.
•THE RULES•
Read the entire lore thread before you post a character. Yes, I will know if you didn't... trust me. I already posted the rules in the interest check, but just to be sure, here they are again in plain text. Now you have no excuses.
This will be a multi-para rp, meaning 1 solid paragraph is the bare minimum and 2+ much preferred. I understand that post length can vary based on how much there is to react to and I'm not going to yell at people for the occasional single paragraph, but absolutely no one-liners, thanks.
Most of the characters will be humans. Magic powers are cool and to be expected here for many characters. Their strength and flashiness level tends to vary, but no one aside from Queen Vivienne, the evil king or a few (npc) big bads should be capable of going around levelling buildings.
Non-human characters are possible, but rare in this setting. If you want to create one please PM me first and tell me about what they are, what their species can do etc. so I can ensure they're a good fit with the story's plot. They should still look reasonably human-like however, nothing too dramatically odd.
Should go without saying but the usual rules still apply... no godmodding, killing or seriously injuring (anything more than a bruise or scratch) other people's characters unless both players have agreed on it, creating super op or ridiculous characters, and/or just generally being an annoying drama llama.
Characters do not have to be nice people with the purest of intentions by any means, but no insane, purely evil or murderous individuals, please and thank you. I've seen too many rps die from those type, so I'm going to have to ban them here.
You may make two characters to start off, one main and one side that you're welcome to kill off for dramatic potential if you so desire. As we'll be going through many interesting destinations, there will be chances to 'pick up' new travellers, as well as have old ones leave, so it'll totally be possible to switch characters or join the group later on.
If you want to leave the group, that's okay. Real life happens, I get it. Just please please PLEASE let me know or write yourself out first. If you don't, I'll have to either say your character left, or if that isn't possible in the current scene, maybe even kill them off. If you know you'll be away for a while, tell me, we can safely send your character away for a while until you're ready to return.
Codes are fully optional, but if you choose to use one, it MUST be mobile friendly! Some people don't like fancy code, so if you're using one with multiple scrolls and buttons, or one that isn't good on mobile, you will need to place a plaintext spoiler containing your reply after the coded version.
I'm not fussy when it comes to character images in a fantasy setting, realistic or drawn are both find so long as they aren't super low quality (think like stick figures or MSPaint 'masterpieces' lol). Also, keep in mind the setting... modern or sci-fi designs will look super out of place. Adding a written description is still encouraged however, as it can tell a lot of things a picture can't.
If you have any questions, want to share ideas or just chat about lore and the rp in general or want to run your character/idea past me to make sure it's accepted before you post it, send a PM. I'd be happy to talk to you!
Thank you for actually reading! Now we can get to the fun part...
•POTENTIAL PRE-DEFINED ROLES•
these aren't required, and you're welcome to create a character that doesn't fit into any of these cliche-on-purpose roles. i just added them for fun and to maybe spark some ideas if anyone is having trouble coming up with a concept.
I do need someone who can be the captain of the ship, however... but if no one wants the role then i'll just make an npc i guess.
