OOC: I'm starting a gothic/medieval RP. That means, swords, spells, castles, elves, dwarves and so on.
Now, for the rules:

1. No god modding.
2. No hyper character speed and no super weapons and especially no killing enemies in a blink of an eye. This too is god modding but some people tend not to consider it that way.
3. Do not, and I mean DO NOT in any way or fashion control somebody else's character. Not even a hand shake. If you want to shake someone's hand, you write something like "He offered him his hand." and then you wait for him to respond. You get the picture.
4. Two paragraphs minimal or an ample one. Also, try not to make spelling mistakes.
5. You may control NPCs made up by you or other "lesser" ones but the main NPCs are controlled by me. That means the NPCs who are deeply involved in the plot.
6. Try not to make too many OOC posts. They are allowed, but do not flood the RP with them. For any trivial questions PM me.
7. No demons, half-demons, celestials and such. You get the picture.
8. No absurd fights. If you're going to fight with NPCs, elaborate it fully.
9. When you make your profile and post it, do not post anything ICly within it. Instead, make a new post.

I think I wrote all the rules I had in mind. Now for the character profiles.

NAME:
AGE:
GENDER:
RACE:

COUNTRY OF BIRTH:
JOB (if any):
APPEARANCE:

DO NOT add anything else like background and weapons or any other kind of information. Try and present your character's background ICly. Same thing goes for weapons. Describe them ICly.
I won't make my profile yet, hence I'll start the RP, in a rather abstract fashion. Just follow the rules and have a good time.


IC:
The continent of Prafyr is made up of four nations. Gedhon (capital Gedh) to the north, Formelia (capital Arvael) to the east, Tharia (the largest one, capital Marvor) in the south and the middle of the continent and Hasfiria (capital Hasii) to the west. The continent itself is surrounded by fierce waters and winds making it impossible to travel to the other continents and vise versa. Presumably, all nations are in peace but the common folk can never guess what politics is about to cause.

Recently, there have been a number of raids on merchant caravans which were traveling to the capital city of Tharia, Marvor. Tharia's provinces, from which the caravans have been traveling from, are starting to get hesitant. If they totally lose their wits and stop delivering goods, Tharia's economy may drop substantially which would be ghastly for the peoples that inhabit her lands. The reason for that is because Tharia holds the upper hand on the continent. If she falters, all hell might brake loose.

In the throne room, king of Tharia, Thar was sitting on the throne with a worried look on his face. It has been twenty four years since he became king and during all that time peace enveloped the continent of Prafyr. Of course there were some dissidences with other nations, but all of them were dealt with without war. Now it was different, he felt it deep inside. Only one caravan out of five would be able to deliver the goods to the capital, which was very bad. Many nobles have started to complain because their luxury ways of life are endangered. Nobles have a great influence, especially when the House of Nobles was established. That house has been given a great political power. Much like a senate, although the king is above them and they had no control over the armies. But, all noble families have an elite guard. Devotion and vehemence are the characteristics of those elite guards, which obviously, along with a great arsenal of weapons and quality armour, make them fierce and strong adversaries.

Beside the king, wearing full-plate, light blue armour and a white cloak, was a young, broad-shouldered, blond-haired young man with a flawless face. A knight under the service of the king. Loyal, pious, devoted, he stood beside and followed around his king for the last four years, ever since he was knighted. Seeing king's worried face he crouches and looks at his face.

"My liege, please tell me what troubles your mind."
King Thar winces as he was dwelling deep in his mind. He looks at the young man like a father looks at his son. "Many things Samuel... many things. But these raids trouble me greatly."
"Is there anything I can do to ease your worries my liege?" His thick eyebrows arose expressing his sadness.
"Send for general Averey."

Samuel rises and turns his head to face one of the two guards who have been posted to guard the throne room door. "Soldier Dunstan! Bring general Averey at once!"
"Yes sir." The soldier responded confidently and left the throne room in a hurry.

Albel, because we chose not to have your roleplay proceed as a no-OOC freeform, there have to be two topics. IC and OOC. That's why I split the IC posts into another topic.

I assume you approved of Shadow Cloud and Neko Oni's profiles, because the IC started anyway.

Yes, up until now they are all approved.

Ok, due to some inconveniences I am adding a new rule.

10. You need to keep your character in the same time line as everybody else, or in the time line of the plot.

sorry I was confused on your location, so I edited my last post to put me in line with your group.

Neko-oni, I would ask you to limit the number of summoned units. Consider this, even a most skilled necromancer needs to put an effort into animating a zombie and taking into consideration that you are part necromancer and part ranger, your powers from both classes are limited. You can never be better of a pure necromancer nor ranger but that is why you have the characteristics of both. I am trying to even all of the characters here so I hope you understand.


If anyone has any questions or does not understand something feel free to pm me or ask your questions in this topic so we can avoid needless post editing.

Since he ends up in all of my posts anyways, why not...

~~~~

NAME: Jin (Unknown)

AGE: 12

GENDER: Male

RACE: Human / Magician

CLASS: None

COUNTRY OF BIRTH: Tharia

JOB (if any): N/A

APPEARANCE: Jin has white skin, brown hair with red pupils; Jin stands at (around) 4' 7'' and usualy is found on Sykuls back. Jin is usualy found siting on Sykuls sword, resting against his back, when they travel. Jin traveles with Sykul because, as a baby, the small town Jin was born in despised him for having red eyes, and being 'differnet'. They abandoned him as a child (10 years old) and left him to die. Thats when Sykul came along. Durring Sykuls' travels, he came across Jin lying in a tree, passed out. Sykul could see his rib cage, and knew the boy had not eatten in weeks. Sykul took the child out of the tree, still sleeping, and placed him on his back, sitting on his sword. Pretty soon, Jin awoke to Sykul's whistling, as Sykul was looking for a palce to eat for him and his newly aquired companion. Jin never asked any questions when he awoke, he just simply waitted to see what was going to happen. Hours later, Sykul came across Tharia and enterned a tavern to get some food. It was crowded but with seats available, Jin hopped off Sykul's back and took a seat where Sykul had near a table. The two sat and talked, exchanged storys and ate food that Sykul had bought. From then on, Jin followed Sykul, where-ever he whent.

I have updated this Prafyr roleplay to my roleplay archive site so that it is easier to reference.

Here's the link, and I hope it helps: http://roleplay.shizuyue.net/roleplays/prafyr.html

It helps all right, and if it not, it looks pretty damn good.

Seluna, this looks pretty good. Thank you.

Hey, can I join in on the secret mission? Im not quite sure how I will fit into it, but I guess it could be rather interesting

I think everyone can do whatever they want. I see no reason why you couldn't join.

You could join us in the caravan in Sar before we arrive. Because there are already hired men there.

Yea, plus there will probably be more joinin in the end anyway.

yea, i wanna get in this mission, lol. im currently in Tharia, in a tavern. I just need to know when the caravan is leaving, and where it is so I can make a post.

Well, the caravan has already left, as for where it is, it should be at least half way to Sar by now...

I kind of look like your signature, Shadow. lol
Hmm, I have to steal some steads then.. or borrow them.. or, just steal them.
I don't have any ideas on how to write my next post... f#%*!







#Gamer
(Who looks like sasuke)

Yes, anyone can join.

Gamer, that tavern you are in, where is it. You said in Tharia, but Tharia is a country and quite big. Are you in capital Marvor, province Sar or some other province?

I would say somewhere on the outskirts, like just a tavern that a weary travler / merchant would come to for a drink. I dont have any thoughts of my next post, I would like to join in the mission. Are you travleing to Sar? or is Sar another part of Tharia?(Just to make sure)

He's in an inn at Sar right now. It's on the border of Tharia and Hasfiria I believe.

Your talking abou me, right?

Ah sorry. I'm talking about where Albel is. I thought you had asked where he was so you could join him.

Ok, so, Albel is in Sar at an inn, and im in Tharia.. hmmm, still dont know how im going to join this thing yet.

try making it an accident, or some thing like that.

That was what I was thinking about, xD
becaue im lazy, sry , Is Sar like.. say 10 miles away from Tharia? or is it like, 100yards away? Either way my character(s) are going to walk there, but I just need to know if it would take them awhile.. or not.

@ Gamer: Sar is IN Tharia.

@neko-oni: Look, I said this before. You are part ranger part necromancer so there is no possible way you can be more powerful than a drow priestess nor would you be able to raise armies of dead. One or two undead, when there are dead bodies near you or on the graveyard. That means no raising the dead in the middle of a meadow.

Other thing, necromancers do not raise golems. Mages CREATE golems. That means they need lots of time, rare materials and magic spells which are difficult to master even for a 1000-2000 year old mages. Also, golems are almost impossible to destroy with common weapons. Some extremely powerful spells and/or catapults can do the job, but no sword can harm them. Considering that, you raising golems is god modding.

I think we should do something with the time when we are together, cuz it will be difficult if someone say like '' I did that and I was like doing something all night and then I did that...'' well, you get the picture. That makes harder for us other players to fill that time that certain player did.It doesn't matter when you are alone but, soon some of us will travel together so I don't want to see a post that some player did some things all day, it messes with our posts too. So I suggest that only Albel handle the time when is needed.

Indeed, gamemasters move the time and the plot. If a gamemaster writes that it is night, you can not write that it is morning. That doesn't count if you are far away from other characters, as Cloud_X said.

So, since Sar is in Tharia, why do you need steeds to get there?

**EDITED**
I just read last 3-4 posts, and im pressuming your in Tharia, Sar.
If not, then im a complete retard... =v.v=

So you would go from New York to Las Vegas on foot?

I hope you have a couple extra pairs of shoes, if that would ever happen to be the case...

In the books i have read, golems can be anything from a metal giant to a simple walking clump of clay. And the way I have figured it, is that golems are a necromancers sumon because a soul is attached to an inanimate object ot give it life. Oh well, I will try to follow your guidelines for the imparticular species and classes. Me and you apparently have different views on these abilitys, so I will be sure to follows yours in your rp, sorry for the miss understanding there. Oh, and, It wasn't an army, that was only in his dream, though, the undead where summoned by his mother to protect him as she died. I also beleive that so long as the spirits are with him, wich they usualy are, he can swummona a golem, or at least a simple earth golem, but i wil avoid doing that. Just out of curiosity though, where did you get your ideas on necromancers, was a book, or an rpg. Either way, i will have to check it out.

Sorry again, for the msunderstanding. *Bows slightly*

I think he is fallowing the rules of Forgoten Realm.
Ever played Baldur's Gate or Neverwinter Nights? I think thats the world we play in. If I'm not mistaken...

Yes, Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights are the guidelines for this RP. Because in the fantasy world of Forgotten realms, all classes and races have advantages and disadvantages. They all are equal in a way when it comes to fighting. That is what I want to have here because if you take a necromancer in NWN and take some levels as a ranger later on in the game, you won't have the spells a pure necromancer would have at that level.

And in this world golems are just mindless constructs who protect some powerful mage's haven. Of course they have other uses, but they are constructed, not summoned.

again, sorry for the misunderstanding. I kind of come up with ideas, by putting together other ideas. Its how I come up with not so good rps, then again, i put about one day into my rps.

~Editted! And a question! Where would be the best place to start in the IC so I don't have to wait too long to start roleplaying with others?

Another character in this nicknamed "Shadow" eh.
