Damnit, there go my dreams of totally-not-a-slightly-more-structurally-cohesive-Dothraki-ripoff.

*LOL* Like I said - the kingdoms are up to you guys. I would LIKE them to be cohesive, but in the end that isn't 100% necessary. I'd just to avoid cross-lining too many cultures - because it makes it more difficult to figure out the history of the kingdoms together. But as long as you're confident you can mesh them, go to town 
And silly Dusk. We don't call them rip-offs. We call them "inspirations".

So do they have to European inspired, or can they be inspired by other areas/countries as well? I'm dying to rip-off Thailand because MOTHER COUNTRY

Fracturer of Fairytales
I'd -like- to keep them as European inspired as possible. I totally know the draw of using other areas - especially in that time period, but I'm trying to bear in mind languages and cultures and making sure we've got enough cohesion when it comes to the diplomatic/political aspects of the rp... if that makes sense?
Doctor Jax
Lord of the Flies
Ah, okay. I wasn't sure just how "separated" these countries are. Basically, you want them to be similar enough that they all exist on the same subcontinent?
Elle Joyner
Fracturer of Fairytales
Yes The size of the map - when I get around to making it - will be roughly Lord of the Rings size. Think Effie's map in Seeds/Dragon Wardens for reference. Different cultures may absolutely be represented, but they are located within the same geographical range.

I would say that I am interested. I've wanted a nation-rp where the players work together to make a good story for years now.

Glad to see so much interest I'll hopefully get the character sheet up tomorrow so you can start working on those kingdoms -- Bear in mind it WILL Be a pretty intense sheet, so I'm not expecting anyone to get it done within the week. PLEASE ... take your time. The more detailed and well thought out your sheet, the more likelihood it will be chosen as one of the seven

I think this looks very interesting.
I don't have a lot of posts here though so not sure how that's going to turn out but I guess we'll see.

I apologize for not getting the sheet up tomorrow - finishing up some details on the overview for the RP and lost track of time! I have an echocardiagram tomorrow and basically no idea how long that takes, but after that, I'll have the rest of the afternoon free, so barring any changes in schedule, I should be able to finish coding it then. But in the meantime, I've got the basic bones so you can get started. Again - I don't anticipate ANYONE getting this done any faster than a week. PLEASE take your time. There is no deadline as of right now!
NOTE: Do not worry about coding your sheet - I'm making a coding so the sheets will be cohesive and easy to read - you'll be able to input the information once I have the code available to you
If you have any questions, feel free to PM me - or ask here.

Would you mind if I included a writing sample along with the sheet? It would be a crucial piece of character history, and I feel a narrative presentation would work best.

I never mind a writing sample

Welp, it looks like it's time to scrawl through Wikipedia to look for some more inspiration.

I don't necessarily require control of a full kingdom, if the amount of players >7 I'll happily make a bunch of characters from different backgrounds instead of a single nation.
Elle Joyner
Fracturer of Fairytales
Let me clarify - just so there isn't confusion - As of right now there won't be random roles available to those who don't create kingdoms - but I will have roles available for people whose kingdoms aren't selected for the project.LeviathanL said:

Hey there - I would be totally interested in something like this, but I don't have many posts on RPN. I have however been rping for seven or so years now, so I have some experience. Would you still be willing to consider? I have no problem sending you a writing sample, and my profile is open so you can see my IC posts.
Elle Joyner
Fracturer of Fairytales
I feel pretty comfortable with that level of experience - maybe just tack a writing sample onto your sheet, if you wouldn't mind? I realize that's a lot to write - but you have plenty of time
RadGalBri

Sounds great! Can't wait to get to writing.
Elle Joyner
Fracturer of Fairytales
And just a note on the 'plenty of time front' - Just so no one feels obligated to rush, because I'm serious when I say TAKE YOUR TIME... I'm not going to be posting the actual RP thread for this until next week. I realized posting it might make people antsy - especially if some people are able to finish their sheets faster, so for now just work on them in google docs or sandboxes and I'll have the thread up sometime in the later portion of next week |
