Sephiryan Empires

The Forgotten Manuscripts

***


”The Time came for us to learn our world was going to be filled by white and cold, when the winds chilled our bones and we finally understood why in the ancient texts they were named Heralds of the Neverending Winter. The Time came for the Great Cities of Karadias, Elderheaven, Tokaria, Urdvorg and Hammerhelm, jewels of our continent to lose their shine and warmth, their streets, palaces and towers becoming cold and haunted by what looked the pale ghosts of their former denizens. The Time came for all of the Elves to learn how their kin had lived in Everwhite, for the Mer-People to face their ancient fears and for the Dwarves to choose between cruel reality or a fate worse than death. The Time came for everyone to look at what had been forbidden and scorned, in hope to change the fate of our world.

And, yet, when the Time came for our World to change forever, we refused to die like Summer did.”


-Richen Gardnver, Elder of the Council

Rules of Conduct


Here are the basic info, this is mostly an interest check so no rules of conduct or Sign-up thread yet, but it should give you plenty of info about the characters you'd like to play. Mind you it's going to be pretty sandbox-ish with some set events that couldn't be prevented or stopped to delineate the story. More than saving the world the RP is going against races that are seeing their world completely change and will struggle to keep in par with it.

So, feel free to ask question here in the thread, c-box or by any other mean.

This looks awesome. I'm so in, but I'm sure that's no surprise to you :D

Probably going to go with multiple characters on this one, though I'm still thinking about the details of the personalities (and might have to have another read-through of the info!post to figure out histories and origins and suchlike). I'll probably have a summer elf maiden and a male mounted magic-user of some sort.

Also, I'm super keen on exploring different relationships (family? intertwined pasts?) so if anyone else is remotely interested in that kind of thing, let me know and we'll sort something out :D

I am in the exact same boat as Shine. I love fantasy, and I'd like to bring in a few characters, as well. In fact, Shine, we could set something up if you like.

Also, I'm wondering... can I have some kind of bear-like pet? Like... one that a character would ride, and have to travel with them(like a horse, but a bear), probably an elf(summer or autumn, whichever you think would fit better), because they seem to have an animal-friendly nature.

I'd like a ranger-style elf guy... Or elfgirl... since I saw Hobbit<3
A thief/assassin guy...
And probably a warrior/paladin/spear-user female...

And yeah.

In all honestly, I'm not going to limit anyone in the number of characters they wish to bring out. You people can, in fact, even have a bigger cast but keep active just some of them during each scene or I may go with double threads if necessity arise and people will end up confused about what is happening, where and who is related.

I'm *GOING* though to ask for some commitment and while I can understand lack of inspiration and troubles in everyone's analogic life, I'm not going to like like people trying to take me for a fool...

@Shiney: Replied your ideas via PM, we can continue our discussion when both us get some spare time.

@Tails: You can have a trained bear following you and doing battle for you. Keep in mind these basic infos though:

Bears are NOT made to be mounted. They walk on four legs but can normally switch on two in an easier way and more often than any equine creature. While equines are basically made to be ridden, bears have muscles placed in a way that would make it uncomfortable for both them and the riders. Dwarves would give it a try for the badass factor, Humans would think about that twice because bears are dangerous and elves wont really even think about it because it's cruel to the bear and other creatures fits better the need.

Bears aren't the friendliest creatures either. While there is plently of stuff more dangerous than them, they can be pretty violent toward people going to anger them. As everyone can guess, trying to ride one isn't usually perceived as a friendly action. Training a bear isn't an easy feat to achieve either, training one to dance (As seen in old days' circuses.) is a cruel practice that involves piercing rings under the fur. I can only imagine that training one to allow someone on its back would involve heavy drugs.

These reasons are enough to point out how inappropriate is riding a bear. Golden Compass featuring one doesn't make Bear Mount less silly. Though the one in the books\movies is more of a magical being, such a creature should be discussed and I'm not too sure if allowing these things or not, but eh, could be a chimaera.

That said, I could allow you the bear mount if you're willing to live up to the consequences. In short, it's going to be something more or less unique to your character, Elves are going to look bad to it, other races' reaction may variate but there will be a good amount of people believing it's something silly, stupid or utterly foolish. Other people can also consider it awesome, it's going to bring you random reactions, but more toward the bad ones. You can anyway have it as a trained pet that follows you, listens to some basic commands and may be cuddled if necessity arises.

Despite that, keep in mind that the RP is starting during Autumn\Fall and regular bears get themselves ready to hibernation and that you cannot bring it into cities.

For the characters numbers and concept (Amongst other things related to the RP), I'd like to have you a talk on AIM about that. Nothing against the idea, but there are some things I'd like to make clear, especially since you're going to bring out such a large cast.

@Everyone else that may be interested: Feel free to add proposals or anything.

Thoughts-

I like it at the start. I understand this is going to be sandbox based, but I assume some degree of 'forces seeking to bury the land in snow' or 'find a way to restore the climate' as over-arching story elements. I may be wrong, but those are the vibes I'm feeling.

To that end, I will admit that I have a few character ideas as follows, naturally requiring more input/response from you.

Orc shaman who turns from the path of Fire and Stone (seeing as the orcs live in mountains, and until recently they would have used such powers form their Mountain homes) and turned to a new master- Snow and Ice. Likely, he would have gone into the Frozen Fangs to assert dominance over a spirit of the cold, but would fail and in turn be possessed by said spirit. His story would follow as he either wrests control of the spirit inside him, instead of being it's plaything. See: Rasputina from Malifaux for an example, or Sha'ik from the Malazan book of the fallen.

Elf of some variant. Seeing as the elves are fairly ingrained here, I can see them being involved enough to warrant a character. Not certain which season of elves, but regardless I see them being a soldier of some kind. Mount will likely begin with them, horse or drake if possible.

The RP will focus on all the races struggling against the Fimbulwntr but as a fair warning it wont be possible to stop it. The mood I'm trying to convey is about the desperate and creative actions the kingdoms are going to take to adapt for it.

Nonetheless you're right. There will be some forced events the cast will be involved with. I promise you guys a civil war, a big scale one, mysteries, horrors about misused Magic AND science, shocking revelations and some close encounters of D type. (Hint: NOT the cup size.)

As for your characters:

Orc: We can work on it, I like the idea but due to the RP being initially focused over the human cities struggling against the migrating orcs, he/she wouldn't be able to join the main cast until very late. You could have the character being an antagonist for the beginning. Doesn't means a baddie, just someone with different priorities.

Elf: Sounds legit, there will be diplomatic delegations from all the nations/races, so your elf can be part of someone's escort.

I'll pm you details once accessing to a better browser/keyboard than the Vita's one.

Little update:

Sunday I'm going to try putting up the Sign-up OOC discussion thread, will add a skeleton of a bestiary too and will let people start up with their character concepts and Sign-Up forms.

So far I got the interest from:

Zubenel, Shiney and Puwa for sure.

Tails said she was in as well, but given her busy times I'd like a confirmation.

Sin is in similar situation, though she's busy due to life issues.

I'm alright with starting it even with a small group of people, but since Sin seemed eager to start a RP here I'm going to hold it for a week or so to give her some time to decide.
