Bio: Born to a poor peasant family in central Xia, Zhao was taught by his elders and learned about myths from his parents. He spent years performing tricks for the entertainment for his friends and neighbours, and eventually perfected each one he knew. After leaving his village at age 25, he set out to find work. Sadly, he was turned down by everyone he met. He then stumbled upon a small town, where he stayed for a while and made some friends. They then told him that his "magic" was a great tool to earn some cash. After fooling some travellers and winning bets in taverns, he became wealthy enough to buy enough supplies to travel around the known world. Now in his 50s, he plans to return to the Xia Kingdom after finding out heating turtle shells revealed cracks, which could in turn be used as "oracle bones".

Bio:
Born in a village in the Liaodong Peninsula, Chen managed to raise an army strong enough to conquer the small peninsula and establish a government. He is the leader of the Chen Dynasty and the king of the self proclaimed kingdom on the peninsula, a peaceful kingdom that has a large army but will not use it often. It only brings out its army when it has been invaded or there is a conflict in the surrounding bay, being a very territorial kingdom. A scholar himself, Chen is very close to the other scholars in the kingdom and will usually make good decisions and values Chinese philosophy.

If you don't have a RP Sample do you swear to reach the level of quality demonstrated by players?: Yes and I have been in multiple faction and character RPs so I don’t know what to sample
#App(Don't remove this is for finding Apps)
Here I finished my app it’s kind of weird that this is character based not faction based though

I don't want to be spoiled so I didn't see it. (Ok, I didn't go through everything in the OP I admit
)Stats based Characters RP?
Hmm. So if a character have lower stat in certain aspect they'll be weaker automatically compared to others who have higher stat?
Posted: Sun Aug 11, 2019 5:42 pmEternal Lotharia wrote:In theory yes but they function more as loose guidelines as to not be too restrictive. I made Duel and Valor separate stats as it made sense.
Do you intend them to be fixed? Or our characters are going to have some development that may upgrade or downgrade their stats?
Posted: Sun Aug 11, 2019 5:52 pmEternal Lotharia wrote:Fixed but can be upgraded, like a life event gives +5 intellect after meeting Taoists and becoming one or his strategic mind changes for example. What qualifies is up to players just don't go overboard.
I see. And who controls a life event?

Well, the world is our oyster as you says it. That's settles my doubt. I'll start slow, since this is from 1,600 BC to present day (that is if you can actually manage on such long term scale). This has the potential to be epic.

Posted: Sun Aug 11, 2019 6:15 pmPrecisely the reason why my character is a peasant far away from all the ruckus for the time being, so I can practically ignore everything else until people actually interact with my characters.

In my defense, with the exception of the parliament, this is my only RP in about 9 months.
Posted: Sun Aug 11, 2019 6:19 pmWell I havent had decent RP since...hmm, 2017?
Anyway Deian, aye, we do need maps with all the province, rivers named. My geography knowledge of ancient China doesn't extend too far 1600 BC.
