It's high time we revive this...So I am going to initiate new role-play!
It takes place in a Fantasy Medieval World, and you can have fun creating your char.
Just don't do anything too wild. *Edit: No character limit. Just your ability limits.
Here's a map as well of the area this takes place in:

You can make it any D&D Race or just make up your own race.
Drakonius:
Satyr Mage, skilled in the art of fire magic.
Hates swimming and trees with bark that peels off.
is 5' 6''.
Carries an oak staff.
I should also mention, that, you should take picture that most reminds you of your character so we know what they look like.
Role play?
In THIS SITE?
Won't last long but WHATEVER I'M IN
char later
Art thou going to start posting thine characters? Or art your enlightened ruler, going to force them out of thou?
I may regret this, but I'll post a character tomorrow. How much freedom do we have with character creation? Could you post a sign-up form?
Mostly restricted to D&D races, You can up your own race if you want. For the form, well this or this:
*Edit: And you can have a beast-race (redwall)

Fill one of these out (if required) when you are making a character for a Roleplay. This is pretty much everything I think you need to know for a Roleplay, but please give suggestions if you feel I am missing something. Or ask questions. :3
Full Name:
*Nick Name(s)
Gender:
Age:
*Species:
Appearance:
Personality:
Allies:
Enemies:
Strengths:
Weakness:
*Goal:
Background:
*Quirks:
*Weapons:
Other things that may be important:
*optional
QuoteEach new character should be introduced in the following format:
Nickname: [Display Name]
Full Name: [Character's first and last Name]
Species: [Water rat, Giant Otter, Black sea otter, Bank vole, etc...]
For example:
Nickname: Jarg/Jargle
Full Name: Jargle Sliteye
Species: Brown Rat
Then fill in the following Categories:
Description: (Eyes, fur, height, typical expressions, scars, typical clothing etc...)
Possessions: (Weapons, jewelry...)
Strengths:
- Example
- Another Example
- (No "He was the best in the world/Mossflower at Swordplay/knife-throwing/archery/swimming")
- (No "Impossible to kill" or "Could smell a rat from fifty feet away")
Weaknesses
- Example
- Another Example
- De-ja-vu
- ("Gets mad easily" or "Has BloodWrath" or other stereotypes are not weaknesses, no matter how you try to rationalize it)
- (True Weaknesses equal "Can't swim," or "Dislikes and cannot use polearms of any kind," or "not physically attractive" are weaknesses. In my experience, Scars don't detract from most characters'' appearance very often, either. So don't add it unless it's truly hideous and no one would want to come within fifteen feet of them)
Personality
(Character personality. What do they act like in certain situations? Are they happy-go-lucky, or easily angered?)
Background
(Character history. what have they done up to this point in their life? What has happened to them? For help, take Mary-Sue test in other thread before writing this. It really puts things in perspective. Also, posting rules apply here. Separate the paragraphs, but in this case keep it short and sweet)
This will make it very easy for people to find and understand your characters and to get some detailed information on who and what they are.
It is suggested that as you creatures get promoted, resign, get demoted, killed, win victories, ect... that you create a detailed history, this will help to make RPGing more realistic.
Nice additions
Some nice additions you could add to your character profile include:
Age: Please use human years. More people would understand ages better that way.
Alignment: Is your character a goodbeast, neutral, or a vermin?
Job: What does your character do to support themself? Are they a farmer, merchant...?

Technically there's 3 chars here, but only two important one; the other ones is an accessory
Full Name: Baron von Noober II, the scourge of the east
*Nick Name(s): Mostly insults, for example: "The Royal half-wit," "Scourge of the sane"
Gender: Male
Age: 35
*Species: Human
Appearance: A diminutive man with an unflattering black bowl-cut and a ridiculous beard
Personality: Cruel, ambitious, and very incompetent. Has delusions of grandeur. Intolerant of other species.
Allies: His unfortunate sidekick, Magwick
Enemies: Everybody in the human royal family, including his own unfortunate wife, Lady Anne the Wise. His schemes are foiled by her just as often as by his own incompetence.
Strengths: His ability to annoy
Weakness: Everything else. An oaf, an incompetent leader, a poor warrior, a poor administrator, and easily manipulated
*Goal: To claim the crown, despite being 22nd in line for the throne. On a day-to-day basis, he attempts to enforce "law and order" in his "realm"
Background: Baron Noober is the youngest of 6 princes, and unlike his 6 skilled brothers, completely incompetent. From a young age, he was always...different. His father and brothers were towering giants of men, with booming voices and dashing looks. Noober, on the other hand, stood almost half the height of his siblings, had a thin and rasping voice, and lacked any kind of character or charm. There were rumours he was not actually the son of the king, but of the royal fuller. Despite this, his father entrusted him with the task of crushing a rebellion in the east as soon as he was of age.
However, though Noober's army was both more skilled and numerous than the rebels, they were utterly routed. Noober's brothers had to intervene, and as punishment, Noober lost his lands and was made Baron of Villageville, a tiny village in the east that was often seen as a "punishment post." The king had also struggled to find a bride for Noober before this, but the leader of the rebellion, Lady Anne the Wise, suffered the punishment of being wed to Noober. Noober's family were glad to finally have gotten rid of Noober and their most dangerous enemy.
Lady Anne could not stand her husband, and she is the real Baronness of Villageville, residing in the castle at the top, which Noober is not even allowed access to. Noober is allowed to run around the streets with the commoners, playing baron, but in reality he and his "private army" (about a dozen farmers) have no power. Still, Noober proudly boasts of his title, and is convinced great things lie ahead for him.
*Quirks: Likes to talk to himself, convinced he will become King. Brands himself "scourge of the east."
*Weapons: A dagger for stabbing enemies in the back, and occasionally a sword

There are five main factions that control the islands. Hopefully in the future, I can upload that map, but for now, just imagine their land masses.
1. Azraelia
2. Blavsmian Empire
3. Kingdom of Firerun
4. Salominsk
5. Shadow Islands
There are all main five factions for you!
Here's the map of the five main factions!
(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-gawlcAO6GW0/UZd4ZLQlppI/AAAAAAAAAFw/PBYWbh_evAA/w506-h656-o/SCAN0024.JPG)
Which faction is most like a good old-fashioned human feudal system? :P
The Firerun Alliance (Green Faction). It's the last alliance of men in the desolate Northern Isles. The empire is also human, but not as much.
Ok then, Noober is part of the Firerun Alliance. Let me know of his background and the like needs changing.
Nothing really needs changing, I haven't really done anything with the factions yet except for the Shadow Islands.
Only thing is, it might make sense to change then name to "The Firerun Kingdom" if it has a monarchy.
Well, it kinda is a kingdom already in all but name. There were three champions heading the alliance, one had higher ambitions and pitted the other two against each other then killed the survivor and now rules as king in all but name.
A coat of arms:

I shall be a NPC
Is it too late to sign up?
No, not really, seeing as how nobody has posted in the RP. So feel free to create a character.
You need to post when the RP should start, I'm ready to start posting. :)
It is almost ready to start, just wait for a short while longer.
After some thought I have taken in Firetooth's suggestion, but added my own twist.
The Firerun Alliance is no longer present, and is now, The Kingdom of Firerun.
Nice. Now Krowdon? Sign up!

Nice. Now Krowdon? Sign up!
I'm waiting for my friend to draw my character for me. Then I will post.
Okay. So while you wait, I will wait also.
Who let me forget to post y characters? Bios comin shortly.
(Its all really basic but I'll add to it as we go along and I figure more things out about the characters)
Name: Tabitha Demetriou
Nicknames: Tabby
Gender: Female
Age: 27
Species: Faun
Appearance: silver furred faun girl of medium height. Short light brown hair styled into a faux hawk, dressed in a skirt and a long sleeve shirt that's a size or two too big for her.
Personality: Somewhat aggressive but hardly acts upon what she says. She is completely serious about whatever she says 9/10 times. Tabitha gets clingy to people she really likes.
Allies: Askari
Enemies: (none yet)
Strengths: Agile, a good tracker, and has good night vision
Weaknesses: Can't swim, doesn't think things through, can only fight with her sword and refuses to use any other weapon.
Goal: (None yet)
Background: Tabitha grew up in a village with her parents, who earned a living selling medicine. She met Askari at age fourteen, and it only took them a few months to become close friends. She learned fighting skills from her parents. At age 19 she left with her friend Askari to travel. At some point she developed a delusion that she is a pirate, even though she's never been on a boat for anything other than to travel between lands.
Weapon: basket hilted rapier
Other: N/A
Name: Askari
Nicknames: (none)
Gender: Male
Age: 217 (looks about 30)
Species: Djinn
Appearance: Human in appearance, his sharp teeth being the only feature that distinguishes him from humans. He wears long pants with sandals, and a short sleeve shirt. His left ear is pierced in three places with silver earrings.
Personality: Askari does his best to avoid confrontation, which is hard to do with Tabitha around. He likes to keep things organized and going with the plan, however he is more of a follower than a leader.
Allies: Tabitha
Enemies: (none yet)
Strengths: Slight magic ability, keeps calm under pressure, adaptable
Weaknesses: Stubborn, limited use of magic, limited knowledge of fighting with weapons
Goal: (None yet)
Background: Askari was assigned to be a personal Djinn for Tabitha shortly after she was born. His role would be to act as a companion and mentor to her. He is able to use magic to manipulate objects, as well as heal small wounds, summon small to medium objects (they have to already exist), make himself invisible, and teleport only himself within a range of five miles. If he is ever in a fight, he uses only hand to hand combat. He was there through much of Tabitha’s childhood, and only made his presence known once she reached fourteen years of age. After that they became close friends and when she wanted to leave, he went with her. Askari uses his ability as a healer to earn money and get them places to stay.
So we have a knight, a donkey horse potato farmer, a racist, and two half horses, one whom is a pirate...
THIS MUST BE A SERIOUS ROLE PLAY!
yeah no it's not...
My other guy I'm finishing up is a Djinn.
This should be good. Also, Noober is no mere racist. His primary character trait is that he is an idiot. :P
This thing seems like it could be wacky. Reminds me of the Planescape setting. We should do an RP using that!
Modified. All I need now is character pics. When do we start?
*shrugs*
I'm going to start this later today but if anyone else wants to make their intro post, feel free to.

And you say a golden helm? That means he is wearing heavy arse armor and very useless armor.
Sorry, I was very unclear here, his armor is colored golden, but is not actually made of gold.
So you mean gold-plated?
Yeah, gold plated.
The RP is on hold until further notice.
