Title: The Star of Vasmus (Factions RP, In development, Always looking for new members)
Post by: Teanup on July 24, 2015, 06:03:24 AM
I made this because I wanted to do something truly unique. So, here it is: The Star of Vasmus. I hope you have fun with this.

The Lore

There's a reason they call it the Star of Vasmus. The island is very much shaped like a five-pointed star, with a neutral area in the middle. These five factions are all very greedy, and wish to claim the entire land. All of them are headed by a great Emperor, who, like, controls stuff.

The reason the middle land is so wanted is because of ancient ruins that stretch deep beneath the surface. Inside is the fabled Star of Vasmus, among many other ancient artifacts. These can be bound to your weapons to make them more powerful (like in Diablo 2)
The Land

[/i][/u]The Northwest:

This area is often seen as the most serene of the Five. It has dense forests and varied wildlife. The trees are good for sneaking around.

The North:
This land is a frosty tundra, ridden by snow and other such issues. Materials and food are scarce, and living is dangerous.

The Northwest:
This area is a temperate forest, with much less tree coverage than the NW. Vegetation is plentiful here.

The Southwest:
A barren desert with lots of ruins from a previous time. The ruins are dangerous, but hold many secrets.

The Southeast:
A jungle, more teeming with life than anywhere else in Vasmus.  Very dangerous, but the trees offer good passageways.

The Factions


--Zaida's faction--
Emperess: Zaida

The Stats

I wanted to keep it pretty simple, so there are 5 attributes: Strength (STR), Speed (SPD), and Intelligence (INT). STR determines your raw power in combat, SPD determines your quickness and ease of travelling, and your INT governs various things like resource gathering and special techniques. You start with 5 in every category and have 4 bonus points to allot however you like. You can also reduce your attributes to as low as 3 to get extra points to allot elsewhere.

NOTE: Anything put under a spoiler is for that faction's eyes only. NO PEEKING. EVER. Or you will instantly suffer a heart attack and be banished forever.

(May I fill the first part in being an empress, do we put in actual character sheets, what do we wear for clothing, and lastly do we use real players in our faction? Sorry for all these questions D: )

That's fine I've done that many times, but I'd like to a empress sounds like a good RP to me!

You are now an emperess, and you get to choose what land you want and how to build your character. As for clothing, there are no items, so you just sort of wear whatever. Real players are used in your faction.

Sure. We can work out all the details there. Feel free to be creative with backstory, special advantages/disadvantages, that sort of thing.

( can I play non-emperor/empress role at beginning or do you want people to fill out the leader rolls)

Post by: Teanup on July 24, 2015, 08:06:23 AM
@Celestial_Dragon

Still waiting for people to fill the leader roles, and it'd be best to provide choice over which faction you're in.

I'm interested in becoming the Emperor of the southwest, the desert area. Can I apply for this position?

We will be waiting for awhile... So I will put my hand up to be a emperor... Don't ins which its up to you boss.

Have any ideas for skills that you'd want?

Are you asking me, or someone else? Or just everyone in general?

Everyone included.

Post by: MyNamesWASABI on July 25, 2015, 12:38:00 AM
Depends on what kind of skills you're looking for. There are many possibilities, and it all depends on the limitations of the world you've created.

Post by: Zane the Fox on July 25, 2015, 12:38:37 AM
Well I like to use my skill as due to hiding so well as a either assassin or bodyguard that stay out of sight but near. Or use as mole

Question, is Magic a thing or are we not going with that?
Title: Re: The Star of Vasmus (Factions RP, In development, Always looking for new members)
Post by: Teanup on July 25, 2015, 12:51:03 AM
Read the Lore section of the OP (original post).

I see
Title: Re: The Star of Vasmus (Factions RP, In development, Always looking for new members)
Post by: MyNamesWASABI on July 25, 2015, 01:02:04 AM
Healing should be a skill. That always comes in handy.
Title: Re: The Star of Vasmus (Factions RP, In development, Always looking for new members)
Post by: Teanup on July 25, 2015, 01:04:45 AM
There will be magic items that replenish health, and normal health regeneration falls under the Survival skill.
Title: Re: The Star of Vasmus (Factions RP, In development, Always looking for new members)
Post by: MyNamesWASABI on July 25, 2015, 01:05:28 AM
Makes sense
Title: Re: The Star of Vasmus (Factions RP, In development, Always looking for new members)
Post by: MyNamesWASABI on July 25, 2015, 01:08:21 AM
Should we have separate skills for different kinds of weapons? Like I know we have two handed and sword and shield and dual weild, but should we have separate skills for swords, clubs, war hammers, axes etcetera?
Title: Re: The Star of Vasmus (Factions RP, In development, Always looking for new members)
Post by: Teanup on July 25, 2015, 01:09:33 AM
Maybe, but I wanted to keep it down to 3. We could consider these sub-skills, and I'll probably have individual traits among them.
Title: Re: The Star of Vasmus (Factions RP, In development, Always looking for new members)
Post by: MyNamesWASABI on July 25, 2015, 01:10:09 AM
That's a good idea.

By the way. Ya have put down two northwest. One full of tree which I aimin for and other lack of tree but open clearing
Title: Re: The Star of Vasmus (Factions RP, In development, Always looking for new members)
Post by: MyNamesWASABI on July 25, 2015, 01:15:50 AM
I'm aiming for the desert area. Because old ruins are fun to explore.
Title: Re: The Star of Vasmus (Factions RP, In development, Always looking for new members)
Post by: Farewell on July 25, 2015, 01:16:51 AM
I got the southeast, jungle area ^^ or I hope... Still thinking things through.
Title: Re: The Star of Vasmus (Factions RP, In development, Always looking for new members)
Post by: Teanup on July 25, 2015, 01:17:44 AM
Most of the ruins are in the center area, and exploring them is how you win. Also, did I mention permadeath is in this game? And that the ruins feature monsters that can one-hit-kill you? Better get some reinforcements (or levelling) before you attempt that.
Title: Re: The Star of Vasmus (Factions RP, In development, Always looking for new members)
Post by: MyNamesWASABI on July 25, 2015, 01:18:20 AM
That sounds terrifying
Title: Re: The Star of Vasmus (Factions RP, In development, Always looking for new members)
Post by: Zane the Fox on July 25, 2015, 01:18:45 AM
Well. Can we have allie with other or is it all for themselves?
Title: Re: The Star of Vasmus (Factions RP, In development, Always looking for new members)
Post by: Farewell on July 25, 2015, 01:19:18 AM
Well I'm going to look for people who would be willing to join my faction before I post. 0-0 also like Zane can factions become allies
Title: Re: The Star of Vasmus (Factions RP, In development, Always looking for new members)
Post by: MyNamesWASABI on July 25, 2015, 01:20:17 AM
Allies are important. A faction cannot stand alone.
Title: Re: The Star of Vasmus (Factions RP, In development, Always looking for new members)
Post by: Zane the Fox on July 25, 2015, 01:25:07 AM
Well. While I work on my set up and back ground story. I welcome any allie. Though it beg a question of if there allies then there be rival as well. And do we go by a allies group name? I just gettin it all out of my head.
Title: Re: The Star of Vasmus (Factions RP, In development, Always looking for new members)
Post by: Farewell on July 25, 2015, 01:29:34 AM
I think becoming allies shall go during the RP, since you don't want to start to strong to others
Title: Re: The Star of Vasmus (Factions RP, In development, Always looking for new members)
Post by: Teanup on July 25, 2015, 01:31:12 AM
Each faction should have a name. You, emper(or/ess), can come up with it.

Allied factions don't need names, but remember: You're gonna need conflict SOMETIME.

I agree with Zaida.

Post by: MyNamesWASABI on July 25, 2015, 01:33:38 AM
Naming a faction is a tough task. You have to come up with the perfect name.

Of course, it said "Always looking for new members".

Currently you can only be a faction leader. Read the OP for more details.

( hey boss give me the fraction that isn't taken .. If there aren't all taken also an idea what about non-government fractions like mercenaries, assassins, Pirates, bandits, raiders, bounty hunters, rebels and other general ruffians should there be a kind of fraction .. Like fraction can put bounties and such on other people and the ruffians will hunt and attack, sabotage and destroy...)

YES.

It should be noted that you cannot "win" by doing this, though.
