Hello, I'm Zemkal. It's been a while, but you may know me from my previous work maintaining and guiding The Elder Scrolls RP (http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic ... 1&t=154354) and it's successor (http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic ... 1&t=185774). In both those series I set out to create a world outside the TES official timeline for writers to create characters that would find great adventure and world-changing events over the course of the game, and from there choose how they would approach each subject, or even if they cared in the least.
The idea of the roleplay was fairly simple. This is a broad world, these are the events that threaten it. Do with that what you will.
And now, I'd like to bring that idea to Dragon Age.
The basic plot would play off of the end of Dragon Age 2 and arc into it's own story, based off the dangers presented in Dragon Age: Inquisition but with a distinct feel all it's own, with different subplots and absent the anchor's early inclusion. Our characters would be the pillars of creating change in Thedas, not one person. Where this will lead will depend on where the mage and temlar war lies and the dangers and respective changes you and your other players make upon the world.
Where do you begin? Anywhere you want. There are various writings on places outside the Free Marches, Fereldan, and Orlais beyond what the games have presented (heres a hub link if you want to take a look and don't want to go back through your various game codexes: http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Thedas), and just like in the TES roleplay, you can build the world through RP off of these explanations. Do you want to be a Qunari loyal to the Qun in Par Vollen? Go for it! How about a Tevinter Mage Nobleman with evil intents? Go for it! You create the character you want to be in this world and allow that to be your guide through the events forthcoming.
I'll be playing my own character, along with writing scrolls addressed to Seeker Cassandra to describe large events happening across Thedas. These will be your clue-ins as to whats going on in the world around you. Remember, you can try and get involved in helping early, completely ignore it all and chase your own goals, or complicate things early however you wish, as long as you stay within the rules!
My hope is that this meets as much success as my former RPs, so you can expect my full attention on this project. Let's get rolling!
Rules:
1. NO GODMODDING: This is obvious. It also works on the trust system. No, you cannot be the King of Fereldan or the leader of the Wardens. If you want a role such as this, talk with the OP.
2. NO BREACH MAGIC: We're starting the game immediately after the events of the chantry's destruction and just as the mage and templar wars begin. Breach and Breach Magic aspects will play in, eventually, but it will likely be a controlled plot element, similar to how dragon shouting was banned in my TES RPs.
3. WORLD HISTORY AND PRE-ESTABLISHED CHARACTERS: The Grey Warden's race and gender, as well as Hawkes gender. This is so we can all put a bit of shade upon our own interpretations of what happened. The most important part is that we have a clear king in Fereldan, and for agruments sake, we will say that is both Anora and Alistar. PLEASE LET ME KNOW AHEAD OF TIME BEFORE HAVING ANY CHARACTERS MEET WITH PRE-ESTABLISHED PARTY CHARACTERS FROM ANY OF THE THREE GAMES.
3. HAVE FUN!: Most important rule. Remember it, as it really should be the goal here.
Here is your application. Please catch up before jumping in.
