Valos (OOC|Fantasy|OPEN)

Postby Abserdia » Sat Jan 14, 2017 4:57 pm





The moon was just rising above Valos...
You were resting in an inn. Cheering, celebrating, resting, or drowning your worries away with a seemingly endless barrel of beer.

Perhaps you were an adventurer looking for excitement. Maybe you were a beggar looking for food. But you wanted something.
And then you saw a wanted poster on a notice board.

WANTED
For the murder of a noble man and the kidnapping of his daughters...

Name unknown. White males somewhere in their 30s with full beards, brown eyes, and brown hair.

This pair of criminals broke into the home of a rich, former adventurer knighted by the Queen for his bravery in numerous defenses of many cities named Michael Nael and murdered him in his sleep. Michael's wife said that she saw her two daughters, 13 and 15 with long blonde hair and brown eyes in the grasp of the kidnappers.
Another witness who saw the criminals running away with the girls claimed that they ran away towards the forest.

Reward of 30,000 coins for anyone who brings one of them to the guards, dead or alive.


You accepted the bounty for whatever reason you had and went on with your night.

Some time afterwards you pursued your target, unaware that you would meet others searching for the same target shortly.




Welcome to Valos.
In this roleplay, you will be adventuring, chasing after bounties, slaying monsters, looting dungeons, etc.

Each arc will be arranged into different missions taken on by your party.
Well, hopefully, anyways.
I'll always try to keep the characters together in groups, so don't expect to always be a lone wolf.
Hopefully.

That's pretty much all right now. This is a pretty simple roleplay, all you gotta know is that there's gonna be adventuring.
Now let's get on to the rest.



Valos is just your normal fantasy town in your normal fantasy country called Penna. Cozy looking homes, a marketplace in the center of the town, constantly attacked by monsters or bandits, etcetera.
It has its own mayor, Nicolas Forrest, and is pretty much unknown for the most part. It's inn, however, is a common resting place for travelers.

It's also nearby a forest home to many creatures and outlaws.

Since I know this description was brief, I'm going to talk about the rest in the IC.


Ruled by a kind queen who inherited the throne 3 years ago named Adelaide Brigham, it's rather progressive for its time. For example, at least 30% of people are fine with gays somewhat.

And then you go into the wilderness. Then everything is scary and dark and your face may be eaten at any moment by an owlbear.

It has a maritime climate and weather. Cloudy, rainy, and stormy. Don't expect many sunny days to go out for a swim. What I'm saying is...
no beach episodes.


The monsters are just normal fantasy stuff. Well, most of them.
Dragons, griffins, chimeras, etc and etc.
If it's a popular creature that shows up in D&D, it's in here as well.
But there's also a few oddballs that I'm sure you'll see in the IC...


There are many, many different Gods, going into the hundreds. I'm not going to name them all of course... or any...

Just know that there's a lot.

Despite their wisdom and overall intelligence along with power, most of them act like drunk college students. Take that as you will.


Magic works like this: use them however much you want, but the more you use a spell the more it hurts your head. Use it too much and you may fall unconscious for awhile.

Magic comes in many different varieties. There's magic that hurts, magic that helps, heals, enchants, alters, tricks... there's a lot of spells.
A large portion of which are stuff like 'See Through Cows'.
Useless until that one specific moment.

Magic can only be used by magic focused characters, naturally. New spells are learned by finding or buying scrolls.
You also have a spell limit that can be raised by tomes. If you exceed the spell limit, you have to forget a spell.


This isn't worldbuilding, it's just a warning. Your characters can die.
If they take wounds that I'd declare too serious to be treated in time, your character will die.
A dragon spitting fire all over someone will most likely burn, a lot, unless there's a specific spell or piece of armor or whatever that stops it. And fire can kill. You can die from fire.

Furthermore, if you're breaking the rules or too inactive without warning, your character will be killed.

But fear not! Death is not the end!
You have two choices afterwards if you still wanna roleplay: make a new character, or get resurrected. Resurrection requires a very specific type of relic that can revive humans. They're mostly found in ancient dungeons but can sometimes be found on a storeshelf.
The mission isn't one time only, so you can resurrect multiple characters.






RULES


0. All appmaking rules can be broken by me because I made this roleplay.
1. Don't be a jerk.
2. PG-13, please. Cursing is fine, just don't go overboard.
3. English has rules, you know. Follow them.
4. My word is law. If I say your character is dead, your character is dead. The duck is alive. Unless you can defend your case very well, of course.
5. Likewise, NO godmodding.

6. And finally? NO GLOMPING!

EXAMPLE APP/CHARACTER
Note: My characters will definitely not be background or minor characters. They will most likely interact very often with your characters and perhaps even be part of the main group. Who knows?
Just don't expect them to be one off NPCs.

Image

Just ignore the gun if that's even a gun.


Name: The Crow. Real name unknown.
Age: Above 15, but below 100.
Sex: Most people who've seen him agree that he is probably male.
Sexual Orientation: Who knows?

Class: Spellthief.
Skills: Excels at swordfighting and sneaking.

Spells:
Calm: Exactly what it says on the tin. This spell calms you for a short duration. During that time, you couldn't panic or attack anyone.
You would only feel a sense of tranquility.
You feel super excited afterwards, though.

Paralyze: On touch, this spell paralyzes a part of your body for approximately 20-30 seconds.

Conjure Rapier: Does exactly what it says it does. A rapier forms in his hands. The sword cannot be taken from his grasp unless he wills it and causes very mild burns on strike.

Weapons: A dagger and the aforementioned conjured rapier.

Personality: Well, from what others have seen... very quiet. Since everything else is just body language, I can't expand that much on this... for now.
Theme Song: No.
Voice Actor/Actress: No.

Short Biography: Well, I'm not going to get into details, but it goes like this:
The Crow is an absolute enigma. Nobody has ever seen his face or heard his voice. Practically nothing is known about this guy.
However, what is known is that he is quite an effective bounty hunter. Many criminals have been caught alive by The Crow, occasionally for completely free.
No apparent injuries are sustained by the masked man either.

That's about all people know about him. I'll expand on his background later, but only in the IC.





Name: Laelynn Vinge
Age: 18
Sex: F
Sexual Orientation: Lesbian

Class: Uh... merchant.
Skills: Er... well... not much.
Weapons: She doesn't have any permanent weapons.

Personality: Shy and quiet, though she often makes attempts at befriending people, but hasn't had any luck so far. She tries her best at being as nice as possible and hates seeing anyone get hurt.
Theme Song: Nah.
Voice Actor/Actress: Nope.

Short Biography: Laelynn is a poor orphan with a home in Valos she inherited from her parents.
Her mother and father were both killed by a Bulette when Laelynn was 15.
Since then, she's been struggling a bit to get by.

She now works as an assistant to the town's blacksmith, Peter Köhler.

I feel like I always say this when making Laelynn's bio, but there's not much else to say.

I'm open to suggestions for monsters, and I'd be fine if you had a recurring monster 'NPC', but my answer will most likely be no.

It's kind of a humanoid monster, or child of a monster.

So you want to roleplay as a hybrid?

What kind of monster would it be the child of?

Something like a Bloodborne enemy. Vicar Amelia, most likely.

Nope.

But if you really wanna make a hybrid, then look only to the most humanoid monsters you can think of.

Quality app.
Formerly Videssos. Just a femboy-obsessed degenerate. Also interested in history, mythology, fantasy, science fiction, metal and some other stuff.
A little bird told me, "Go, Go! Socialise! Talk to those fine people! And then, KILL EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM! Plunge your knife into their throats when they ain't lookin', and then burn 'em to the ground!"
Well that's silly, isn't it?

My character might be a famous warrior from a time past, a humanoid monster only doing what it was born to do, an experienced Hunter who protects new groups, or a lich.

Poor grammar, a bold everything, didn't delete the parentheses, and you just didn't go into much detail.
You didn't even put in a last name for your character.

Nope.

Nope, but there are certainly spells to make you look like one...
