Elrol Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 I haven't Rp'd in months, actually almost a year, and I'm going to try to attempt this so bear with me. Any wishing to sign up for this RP please post below. Some people like to post a character sheet, and thoroughly fill it out, with history, race, spells, weapons, and whatnot. However, here that is not necessary, simply sign up and state that you are interested, when the RP begins, in your first post, use it to describe your appearance, gender, and race, and whatnot. You can leave your history for other characters to discover as we go along. However if it seems that problems arrise with characters who are magic users always having a million spells to cast, then I'll make everyone fill out a character sheet mid RP, and they will have to stick to certain limits that I will set down in such a case. I hope that is will not be necessary, and that we can have fun the original way. Here follows a brief overview of the world you'll be RPing in, so you'll know what your getting yourself into: The world works on the basic laws of physics, things fall down, there is weather, climates, people, languages, and the general plants and animals that exist within our own world along with some new and intriguing varieties. Magic is used here, however it's not a common convinience. Thos that possess the ability to channel the flow of magic are well trained, and don't know a bagillion spells to use. They use spells only in the most necessary circumstances, because magic within this world is not just something you simply do with no consequences. It requires vast amounts of physical and mental energy, and using it often can leave one drained, and volnurable, or even unconcious. The races living within this world are as follows: -Human Everyone knows what humans are, much like the ones reading the post, the basic idea of a human given in most rpg's. There are a many subraces of human, but they are all human, just slightly different in physical appearance. They live within various kingdoms across the lands, and are frequently at war with one another. Magic is not common, and when it is it can be traced back to an elven or Aaerling ancestor. Human knowledge is vast but not as vast as elven or Aaerling, and therefore they are a bit behind the 'technology' of both races. They can still defend themselves very well, and make up their lack of progress with their excellent fighting skills, and bravery. Though they are not as impressive as some of the other races, their lands currently outnumber that of all the other races, rivaled only by the elves who constantly gain on them in acreage, and then fall back into second place shortly. They are by far the most adaptable, and exist in every climate available on Legaria. -Elf The generalized and widely spread idea of elves, Tall beautiful/handsome, with fair skin, long hair, deep eyes of colour, and pointed ears. Long lives, and agility, not the strongest of races. Elves are not immortal but do live for atleast 2-3 hundred years, some even a longer. They are adept in magic, and wonderful smiths and fletchers, along with clothiers. They prefer seculsion, and to be cut off from the rest of the world. They don't take kindly to interference into the way they like to run things from outside forces. Much is still not known of the elven races, because of their secrecy, and therefore much of the mysterious rumours of extraordinary abilities that elves possess are widely fabled. -Aaerling Decendants of a long dead race, after centuries of interacial breeding with humans, and elfs this race has been born; but it's still very old by itself. They appear to be what most would call half-dragons. Their skin is thick and leathery, ranging in colors from red to black, to blue or golden(depending on their lineage). Their ears are usually pointed, however the ones with human blood tend to have rounded ears, or barely pointed ones. Fangs are present, similar to what one would see in a vampires jaw. Finger nails are usually long and strong, but not so long as to incumber movement or dexterity. Leathery, bat-like wings protrud from each shoulder blade, containing two extra 'fingers' on the bend of the wing, used for grasping things. Some possess a tail and some do not it depends on how deep the bloodline runs. None breath fire, but all seem to possess a knack for magic. All have the ability to create the illusion of being either a perfectly normal human or elven version of theirself, depending on their lineage. Their size is no larger than the average size of a human or elf of their age. They live quiet longer than elves, but are not immortal. Generally have a thirst for learning, and an odd obsession with treasure. Despite all their advantages, they are extremely vunerable to silver, and in some cases it can cause death. -Dwarf They are overly obssessed with treasure, and shiny wonders, and dig deep into the earth to find such things. They live in vast cities quickly crafted deep within the earth. Dwarven halls are the safest guarding place of any valued treasure for a king, and they often call upon the Dwarfs to guard things for them. Dwarfs do not like to meddle in surface affairs, and are more seclusive than the elves. Rarely are dwarves seen wandering about on the surface, and rarely has anyone ever even visited a Dwarven city. While they do not like the surface, or participating in upperworld wars, they are vivacious fighters, and extremly strong for their size. They lack much of the knowledge that the other races possess, because of their treasure obessession, but they possess great smithing skills, and their works are sought by greatest of kings. -Halfing Short in stature, they live in small cottages, within trees, underground, or any hidden spot they can call home. They could live within walking distance of a town and not be seen by its residents for hundreds of years. They are excellent at steatlh, and illusion. They possess odd magical abilites that keep them hidden from outsiders. They possess no masterful fighting abilities, but they do not need them when they have excellent hiding skills, and illusionary tactics. They are a somewhat intelligent race, but don't dwell much on knowledge, they prefer to care for nature and its inhabitants. Very little is known of them because very few have ever been seen, and in some places people think them merely a myth, and not a fact at all. -Natural LycanthropeThis race is born a lycanthrope, they are not inflicted with lycanthropacy like some unlucky people, they are born this way. Depending on the lineage they posssess the inborn ability to change from a humanoid form to a beast humanoid form, or a beast form. It is thought that lycanthropacy as a disease was started by a crazed lycanthope biting a regular humanoid, and spreading it somehow. This theory has never been proved, and therefore none know if it holds any truths. They live within the wilds of the lands, usually within habitats associated with thier beast form. They are not fond of weapons, they prefer to use their claws or shape shifting ability as weapons. As far as most know lycanthropes exist with just about any common beast form that one could imagine. Their organization is tribal and a common peace exists between all lycanthropes. Because of their beast transformations, which they can control at will, except on the full moon, when they are stuck in their humanoid form, and cannot change until the full moon is over, they tend of have a communication with animals, and a mutual relationship with them. -Changling The changlings are an odd race, none know if they possess cities, or any form of organization. They live among the other races undercover until they grow tired of that races presence and decide to move on. There is but one way of telling that someone is a changling and that is a black spot on the back of their neck. All changlings seem to be born with the same black birthmark on the back of their neck, and no matter what form they take it remains. Changlings are the least known about race, and therefore they still remain a mystery among the many races. That concludes the playable races within this world, Legaria. Any wishing to participate in the world of Legaria need to sign up below using the instructions i stated above, you have precisely one week from today to sign up. The RP will start Monday, but you can continue to sign up until the deadline, once the deadline is up sign ups will be closed. -The Raven-out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
