Well before I start the scenarios I will tell you about the character limits and what is and is not aloud.
First off its Medieval, So no future tech, Guns, And such.
For your character, They cannot be very proficient in MANY fields of combat that would be total opposites of eachother.
For example you cant have a legendary swordsmen that can also shoot a bow hitting a falling leaf... Not realistic.
And then there is magic.... I LOVE magic personally, but the fact that there is many kinds all at varying degrees makes it very Over Power for those who don't have any. So to even it out all magic must start at a VERY low level.
Healing magic cannot heal someone to "Perfect Health" instantly. And it also cannot be used in mid-combat. If your character is healing another, It should be like therapy, Where they attempt to heal over the course of a week or so, Where the would gets better over time.
Combat magic such as Fire balls, Lightning out of your hand, And other forms of high power magic like that I wont allow.
Being able to shoot fire out of your hand is OP in my opinion.
Some combat magics I will allow would be physical attribute enhancers, Weapon enhancers, and such.
If you really do want to be able to shoot fire out of your hands.. Or lightning, I will make exceptions and limitations. Also you will need to develop your ability over the course of the RP.
Curse magic is one of those iffy kinds. This kind of magic is where you use a spell to effect your opponents weather it would be restraining there legs, sleep spell, a slow acting poisen, and such. You can use these kinds but please limit the use as to not be invincible.
Just keep in mind that if you do use magic, It must be a specialized ability where it will be taxing on the user.
P.S. You can have magical items.
The scenario is up for debate. First I want to hear everyones Else's idea before giving my own.
-
hello friend
-
I'd be very interested in this sort of RP. As for ideas for a scenario, I think it should start in a place where a variety of individuals might meet; a town on the edge of a kingdom, a tavern, or well-known market, etc. This should be sort of a focal point where different PCs would converge, perhaps with a similar interest in mind. If ,perhaps, its military-style or related to a guild or organization it could start in a barracks or a meeting hall. These are just a few things I'll throw out there.
-
Glad to see someone is interested. And I agree with that. Which ever scenario we choose we should have one or two main gathering points we all meet at, so we can develop interaction with each other. But we need a conflict. Something that we are trying to achieve. I have a few ideas but first I would like to hear yours.
-
Well, when it comes to conflict there's always the tried-and-true army of evil, but I suppose there's also the guardians of a lost secret ruin/treasure. There could also be conflict amongst the PCs themselves, whether it be differing interests, factional disputes, religion, etc. Once again, I'm just giving ideas, ultimately this is still your RP.
-
Army of evil... Its a classic and has ever changing possibility's. Plus plenty of things to kill. But there needs to be substance, That's a basic idea, but to truly become something good it needs a big of paa-zaas. I have an idea. It can be the underworld that is the evil thing. And in the realm of the living there are rifts that are opening into the underworld. At thees rifts blight is spreading along with creatures of evil and corruption.
-
Good, let's expand upon that idea. Who or what is causing the portals? What sort of hellions spew forth from them? Is the corruption organic, coating everything in alien mess, or aetheric, fundamentally changing everything it touches causing things to wither or warp? How will we, as the protagonists, close said gates?
It might seem like I'm trying to avoid specific details, but I very much like seeing other people's narratives. It always brings something fresh. :3
-
Well From each rift in the earth blight will spread at a slow rate. Blight is pure corruption that kills everything it touches. Certain individuals tho are able to resist the blight, and because of this they are highly sough after to fight the evil. As for the monsters that the rift spews out, they are monsters of corruption and evil. They can be anything from goblins and bone dragons, to a corrupted bear and dire wolfs. There are basically two groups. Pure evil, and the Corrupted wild life.
As for how to close them, I would need to think of something.
-
so u start an rp and ill take it from there ok
-
Alright, then. As soon as that's figured out we can begin in earnest.
-
I would love to be a part of this rp. Id have to change my outfit a little but I have a few ideas for that. And my fighting skills are fit for a rouge char. So if its started already just let me know how I can enter and if not just let me know when it does. I haven't midevil rped in a little while so I may be a bit rusty but I just rp a lot so I'm good there. Oh and I'm only an aprentince in time magic. Not for combat but for slowly reversing wounds or poison effects. (The ideas are still a work in progess).
-
ok * sits down and looked up at them *
-
We still need a starting point and character sheets. I need to think on what should be included... Ill post an example later once I have given it some though, but for now we need to think of a place we all can start. What I'm thinking is a city that had a rift open up close by. The blight has already spread to the river that runs by the city, poising the people slowly. We can play as inhabitants or forces that are recruited for fighting off the hordes of demons.
Also... If you are going to join please. Post at least three lines or more.
-
ok i like the sound of that and ill try some times i do qiuck respons
-
That sounds great. Being as I'm a rouge ill most likely be a resdent. I could be from a local thives guild whose only interest in stoping the blight is because its bad for business but my char will have his own reasons. I'm still thinking about what those reasons are but I like the idea of starting in a town. Maye we can all be in the local tavern when the ift opens, then we are the only ones who don't run away from but towards the blight instead.
-
I was thinking that we fast forward about a half a year when a plague starts in the town. Most residence are now unable to leave because of the roads being consumed by the blight and the creatures that walk it.
-
* smiled a bit *
-
That actually sounds a lot better then mine. I'm down for it.
-
same here
-
I would definitely love to be part of this rp. And I have an idea for the closing of the portals. Perhaps each portal has a dark temple on the other side powering it, and the only way to close it is from a ritual done by a priest or maybe a magic wielder. During the ceremony unread would be aware and come and try to stop it, requiring warriors to defend against the threat. This would requie pcs to enter portals as a team to try and close them.
-
This idea looks pretty darn fabulous, and you can definitely count me in! Say, would you mind a druidic mountain goat character who's magic is to purify the air, but not directly remove poisons from others?
The concept seems rather interesting, but would there be any way to remove the blight patially before closing a portal (Such as cleansing the area around the starting village)
-
Sense the blight comes from evil, any hold magic such as dispell can clense small areas at a time. So its possible. As for the toxic gasses that the blight produces, thats a bit more tricky to get rid of, but no impossible.One more person or two and I beleave we can start. ^_^
-
Has this RP died before is started? That would be an awful shame!
-
I sure hope now... Not too many people into this kind of thing I guess...
-
Has this RP died before is started? That would be an awful shame!
Indeed I for one was really looking forward to it
-
i would definatly like to join this rp im not that bad with a bow or anywepon really but a bow is my main preefrence
-
i saw this and it looked pretty fun and i would like to join. my character specializes in potions and swords X3 B) XP
-
smirks at night shade
-
im guessing that i can join so...
"walks in"
-
sup night
-
*Drake facepaws*.
A worthwhile roleplay, one that won't die out and will also keep readers interested, especially a themed one, must include well thought-out lines, and environment. Saying "sup" isn't really applicable to a medieval fantasy rp.
At any rate...
If this does survive, I have a character sheet already in mind. OP, let us know if you plan to continue this.
-
laughs and smiles
-
"drag sword behind her in the dirt"has anything happened while i was gone?
-
I need to give it some thought on how the RP will play out, I have the opening scene in mind but I need more to follow afterworlds. I just want to let you all know its not dead, just in the making.
Here is what we have so far:
Everyone will start in a single city set along a river. The city is surrounded by a massive wall with battlements and houses over a million people within its walls. There are various hills inside the castle wall, where most of the important buildings are located. In the middle is the castle. A huge square keep with its own set of battlements and walls surrounded by a moat.
A rift has opened up upstream from the city (North) about a year ago. It has not been a problem until now. About three months ago is when the plague broke out all over the city. Almost everyone is effect by the plague except a very few select. There are humans and furs in the city, but mostly furs are immune, and even less humans. This lead the humans to thinking it was the fur's fault, so there is prejudice. Now the bodys are piling up in the streets as piles upon piles are being burned daily. One of the massive bell towers in the city has been made to ding for every death. And the last count was seventy four.
NOTE: If you still want to join, please, be as literate as possible and post two or more sentences.
-
/me sits and watches the dead being burned and makes a choice going to my home i collect my bow and arrows and my mottled green and grey cloak and head for the city gates thinking (this has to end now i wont let more good people suffer....)
-
This is not the RP, Its more of an advertisement...
-
oh sorry (facepaws)
-
ok, i would like to join. my avatar is good with a sword and potions. and i have a question, if this isnt the rp, then where is it?
-
The RP will be in this board if I decide to make it: http://www.thefurryforum.com/forums/index.php?board=28.0\ (http://www.thefurryforum.com/forums/index.php?board=28.0\)
And the OOC for the RP will be in this board: http://www.thefurryforum.com/forums/index.php?board=55.0 (http://www.thefurryforum.com/forums/index.php?board=55.0)
Take a look around each board to get an idea of how to RP professionally.
-
i know how to rp, ive been doing them for over five months...i lost track after that
-
(yah night's aswem at role playing!)
-
I never said she wasent...
-
i know im just saying ^^ ur B) too
-
im confused now.... :(
-
lol i was saying your both cool X3
-
For this rp I won't be using my fox Fursona. I'll be using something a little more personal, an elf. A hunter who lived in a hut just outside the village before the outbreak. A master archer with long, fine brown hair, a firm, hardened face, and yellow eyes. He stands about 5'8", extremely slim, and can weild a short elven blade well enough. Anything iron or steel bigger than a dagger slows him down too much.
For apparel, he is donned in leather of the skins of the ferals he's hunted (he doesnt kill/hunt anthros) boiled into a hard but light armour.
Ladies and gentlemen, I unveil Cai'El the elf, the part of me that DID run away from home when I was 11 :P
-
well then i dont want to be in his way
-
"you wont be in his way night" continues to bandage my legs
-
um did you forget that this isnt the rp?
-
oops sorrry i was distracted X3
-
lol it ok
-
Please try and keep all side conversations out of this thread.
Also another thing, I'm not going to say names but I have seen how some of you RP and im just going to say this, Please be as literate as possible. When Rping as your character weather it be in first person second or third, make sure you describe all that is going on and don't jump around. Describing all of the five senses is a good way of adding allot of detail to a post, and try and have your posts structured properly. And once more, each post should be over over two sentences once the RP has started.
Any questions just ask in this thread or through a PM.
-
um, thats a little strict, but ok
-
its ok i understand its just hard when you have a southern drawl
-
These rules seem fair, and the RP is still appealing.
Any idea when the OOC thread is up, and what sort of limits are there on weaponry?
(I'm speaking of the more exotic stuff, like Flamberges, Culverins and Chu-ko-nu)
Flamberges are longswords, often with flame-blades with a grib above the hilt as well as below for higher flexibility. Culverins are essentially tiny cannons on sticks which are essentially, a medieval pistol, and the Chu-ko-nu is a 10 bolt clip repeating crossbow.
Medieval weaponry nerd!
-
Its a medieval fantasy, As long as its made of some sort of metal and has an edge, you can use it! Creativity is the key.
-
what about if its made of light?
-
Keep all magic to a low at the begining of the RP, through it you can build up your skill.
As for magic items, you can have them, just don't god mode them please.
-
what about the light sword?is it ok?
-
Light sword? Are you talking about a light saber?
-
no, its a sword that was made from pure light
-
Pure light, Maybe I guess. How about if it was a thin steel in the middle surrounded by light... To give it shape?
-
its a perfectly balanced sword that is surounded by light, there for making it more dangerous?
-
That works. I thought you first ment just the hilt with a beam of lightly in the shape of a blade.
But what you just described is ok.
-
cool, i love swords and potions
-
i use a sword or bow
-
im wolfy and i know it!
-
giggles at night
-
"laughs" im bored
-
I'd like to know when the OOC will be up.
For me I think a good old sickle, a culverin and a horseman's war-pick (or hammer, whichever way you swing, pun intended). Along the lines of armour, I would probably choose some simple leather armour, and of course, the air purification spell (Which will eventually become a mighty pebble and branch tossing whirlwind!). Otherwise, its half-plate for me, a dagger and a Chu-Ko-Nu with a blade attatched.
-
i wold like to know but i shant demand it
-
uhhh ok?
-
i would like to join if at all possible! it sounds enteresting and i am formulating a personal character :3

It has not started yet but yes you can. When I start up the OOC make sure to read all rules and such, and also, make sure your character meets the rules I allready set up before you post a character sheet in the future OOC.
