The Call of the Faen
This is a Medieval-Themed, Heroic Sandbox/Semi-Railroad Character Roleplay over a Dynamic, Persistent World.
Faen (TRM Description) - A Higher being, A being equal to the Gods, A being yet lower than the Dungeon Master. Also known as, Watcher.
The size of the world will be determined by the Number of Players, and Progression within the RP. I will not have the same 3 players going through what they went through a month of RL time before, but neither will I have ten sporadic groups with a total of thirteen players.
Although combat and fighting is one of the main traits of a healthy Fantasy RP, Exploration and Interaction is just as important a factor as Combat. One can avoid combat totally by having a glib tongue, or avoiding the ambush totally.
For the opening stages, when the Roleplaying World is still at its infancy, player characters are limited to a Heroic Role. However, when the RP progresses, experienced players may offer to create encounters or control villains in my stead when the RP begins to take off, as well as providing the Heroes a new taste of challenges and adventure should my style become stale.
My Role as an OP -
As an OP/Dungeon Master, I prefer to create quests, encounters and other events with the players. Yes, with the players. I expect much interaction, and if you aren’t TG-ing me, I will TG you… not.
Therefore, I will be your archetypical Bad Boy, I mean, Guy. I find success in creating tension and danger in the IC, creating villians which mirror the Heroes of the IC. However, I will also be in charge of most NPCs, which means that tips, advice, reports which are in line with your character will be received once in a while. A soldier who has connections with mercenaries might receive a warning regarding new enemies coming his way, through me, i mean, a little bird.
I also encourage players to build up their characters well, quirky or not, so they could add much flavour to the IC. If you feel that your character is in need of a push, contact me and we can discuss something through TG. Characters are open to opt for Romance through Player-consent, Death, through Player-consent, and others. Feel free to make backstories which open up possibilities for side-quests and adventures.
Also, I am GMT+8, so I apologise for probably sleeping during your active hours. However, I strive to be awake early during the Evenings of the Western Hemisphere, so we can spontaneously post together.
Rulings -
I AM THE OP.And my rulings are final, although questions for clarifications are welcome.
Be Nice. The world has enough shit in it. Why not try going against the flow and make it a better place?
Have Fun, lots of it. It's why you're in NationStates in the first place right?
No OOC rage or vulgarities. But feel free to have your characters kill each other. Just do not hold up the progression too much. Remember to share a cup of ale as gentlemenly/ladylike players, and I will clean up the mess.
No explicit content. Things considered taboo are best to comply to a 'Fade to Black' policy. You can send me a draft and I will reply accordingly within 24 hours.
No Godmodding. Characters suffer defeat, and die too.
No Meta-Gaming. You might come across a plan being discussed in the OOC for the next step. Do not take measures to counter it in the least. Be yourself. Be Natural.
