General Information:
Irish for "wild" according to Google Translate. Hopefully it can be trusted. This RP is going to be set in a world of my own creation, not in TES and not related to TES. I like my RPs gritty and dark, and of course with no small amount of high fantasy, so if you have concerns over this not being TES I would ask that you please at least give it a fair chance.
The premise of this RP will be that you guys are a group assigned to lead the colonization of one of the most dangerous world's ever. Fiáin is wild and untamed, and any joke you would make about Australia is applicable here.
Of course, from there there is nearly infinite RP potential. I do not exaggerate when I say I could probably make a string of RPs that would last from now until these forums die.
Rules:
This will be an 18+ RP.
Standard RP rules apply. No godmodding, no meta gaming.
Respect your fellow RPers.
I expect skilled writers, and I encourage active use of the edit button to fix mistakes and errors.
I am also completely open to any ideas you may have, and encourage them. While I have my own stories to take you through, I don't mind in the least of anyone would like to impact the story and the world in their own way, even come up with new stories to pursue.
Activity/Pace:
I am incredibly persistent, and I will not allow this RP to die under no circumstance save my own death or otherwise incabaility to continue. If temporary problems assail me, I will find my way back as soon as I am able. I am extremely lenient when it comes to the pacing of posting, as long as you are active and not hindering the story I can wait up to a month (sonetimes longer) unless the other RP members complain about your slowness. However, once you become a hindrance to the story, or fail to report to too many roll calls, I have absolutely no campunctions with removing you immediately from the RP by any means necessary so that it may continue. I will handle your characters with respect, of course, but do not think for a second I will not have them sited by holy lightning from the sky should the story have need to continue. I expect this to be slow paced, and have little issues.
Most importantly, if you see I make a mistake or that there is an inconsistency or plot hole, TELL ME. I can only improve it if you inform me about such things, and I am hungry to make this world as perfect as it can be.
General Setting Information:
Now... the world. I could go on about it all day, and give you all quite an intimidating text wall- quite possibly the mother of all text walls. As I am aware not everyone has the endurance to suffer through all that reading, I will attempt to condense it, and can answer any questions you have regarding specifics.
For starters, there are few limitations on RP potential. Creatures and species from any fantasy could be present here, but I would ask that you please try to keep it from breaking copyright in case I ever decide to write a book including anything that happens in the RP. I could change the name of the character or race to fit the story if I put it to writing, if you absolutely feel you must indulge yourself, however.
There will be humans, dwarves, elves, and all of those standard fantasy races. Some races of my own creation are Draconics, Angelics, Demonics, and Shadoxen. These four are currently the four power houses on this planet, and have acclimated to survive it in some way. The technology levels in this world are fairly limited, swords and magic and such, but there are some steam punk elements and higher levels of tech scattered about in there too.
The Draconics, smallest in number, but once mature are your top tier powerhouses. In terms of sheer power, they are unmatched in their upper eschalons. They are dragons- only bigger, badder, faster, stronger, and better in just about every way than a normal dragon. These are quite literally the pinnacle of what it means to be a dragon. They have acclimated to the world by becoming a part of the food chain, and are very near the top. They are generally very straightforward, and their culture is very violent in general. They value strength.
The Angelics are- what else? What you would consider angels. They are a combination of the traditional lore of elves and dwarves. Elegant and technologically/magically advanced. These are some of the most magically powerful beings in the world at their upper eschalons. Their high intelligence has allowed them to achieve technological breakthroughs to help them make up for their weaknesses and cope with a world that is so deadly. They have acclimated to the world by using their magic to make a great, impregnable fortress fly. From their flying fortress, they frequently try to make progress in bending the planet below them to their will, to colonize it, but have thus far failed. As time goes on, they become more and more desperate. They value community greatly.
The Demonics aren't so simple as calling them demons. They are extremely varied, and are all about the individual. They are free spirits, and come in all shapes and sizes. They have acclimated to the world by becoming a part of it in some way, whether that be a part of nature or a part of the food chain. They greatly value their individual freedom.
The Shadoxen are a mystery. They appear as humanoids, only pitch black in coloration. They are as living shadows, and almost nothing is known about them other than not much is known about them. It is not a stretch to say they are the go to mercenaries and assassins for the entire world. It is not known how they acclimated to the world, or even where their homeland is located. Their language is also a jealously guarded secret. They seem to value their own and whatever is used to pay them.
Not only are these races important to the world and the story, but also important for you, as you have the option to play as one. Of course you will have to start as a weaker one and progress, but that's more or less how everyone is going to start. It's going to be a long road, and who knows what you all may become by the end of it.
Now, don't think you're going to start out as a dragon or a living shadow, you will begin very much human, and as you progress become more and more like whatever your race is. However, be warned, this comes at a cost.
Player Start:
You will begun in the great flying fortress city of the Angelics, and we will see where you go from there. I have SO much information to share, but hopefully I covered the basics well enough. I will add information to this when I have more time, and am more than happy to answer any questions. Regarding the unique races, I can go in depth into all of the information you will need to know to play as one, it's just a lot to type so I didn't manage to get it in this one go.
I GIVE COMPLETE FREEDOM OF CREATIVITY, as long as it stays within the rules and I and your peers judge it reasonable. I'm going to be Tracker Jack, and I'm going to be your tour guide through one of the most dangerous fantasy world's ever. I can barely wait My CC will be up soon.
