The Golden Troop

[nethgros]

The Golden Troop is an RP based in the Forgotten Realms setting, not unlike Tales of Faerun. The Golden Troop centers around the mercenary company of the same name as they (we) go around doing missions and being chums (unless you feel like being the loner). Any help or ideas you have regarding the RP would definitely be welcome. The main purpose of this RP is to create a non-linear modular style story that is made around each character and the missions undertaken by the Troop.

 

Story

The Golden Troop is a mercenary company based out of the Nelanther Isles with a special reputation for doing any sort of job, from assassination to witch hunting. As long as someone is paying, The Golden Troop will do anything. Founded by Captain Trahand the Unforgiving and Leoaver Goldtongue the name for the Troop came from Leoaver, who is a devout cleric of Waukeen and the business half of the leadership. Trahand makes up the combat and action half of the leadership, as he was a Nelanther pirate for some time before forming the group. At the beginning of the RP we will be starting off with the Troop just recently formed, openly recruiting and looking for whatever missions are available.

 

Rules

1. Don't control other peoples characters. Just don't. If you have an action that includes or affects another person's character then leave room for them to react themselves.

 

2. You are totally allowed to run off on your own or not be part of the Troop, but you still need to be able to tie your plot back into the RP. (which centers around the Troop)

 

3. No gratuitous sexual content, or overly gruesome violence.

 

4. Don't be a "I can beat everyone/anyone" character, nobody likes them.

 

5. No teleporting.

 

6. Don't bring your personal issues into the RP. Keep it cool.

 

7. You can have three main characters. Lesser characters are unrestricted. (Lesser meaning they WILL leave or die at some point)

 

8. Your character cannot be the ruler of a city.

 

9. Gods may appear for cameos and advice only. Gods are never to be used in combat.

 

The rules are subject to change and are enforced, or not, by me. Don't enforce them yourself.

Any ideas for the RP are very welcome, and I would appreciate hearing anything you have to say.

Very nice sheets mac, you set the bar pretty high with your physical descriptions. :P

 

You want to wait for more or start sooner?

[Macman253]

Whichever you choose, yeah I had these characters in mind for sometime. I once played a pair of dwarf brothers I had originally based off Merle and Daryl Dixon from The Walking Dead. I took that concept and remelded the characters into a pair of dwarves. Spent alot of time reading up on the various dwarves from DnD lore and learned quite alot about their culture so to anyone else that wants to join you don't have to be so thorough.

 

Start it when you wish and I will join in.
