“It is not power that corrupts but fear. Fear of losing power corrupts those who wield it and fear of the scourge of power corrupts those who are subject to it.” ~ Aung San Suu Kyi

In the lands of Astra, five separate and very powerful kingdoms have bickered over the lands that make up the massive continent, ranging from the shores of the Tamal Sea, up towards the northern borders housed within the Iron Mountains. The threat of war hangs over the land as the armies of these kingdoms are moved through towns in force, patrolling what is there. The wizards that have for so long kept peace and wisdom a priority have fallen quiet, secluding themselves in their sky-reaching towers. Now winter approaches, and rumors of an imminent attack by one of the power hungry kings has gripped the citizens of the five kingdoms in fear for what is to come.

*Notice* This roleplay is set in a medieval-like setting. The difference is the fantasy aspect. Magic is a thing, and a very powerful one. Other species aside from humans are allowed. For the moment, the species in mind are Human, Orc, Elf (all of their varieties), and dwarf. If you have something else you wish to bring in, just let me know.

I am not opposed to violence/sexual/language/etc. use. However, for combat, I will ask to try not to constantly be picking a fight. This may change later on, if I bring the war into play. If you wish to do some sort of detailed fight/sexual interaction with someone, I'd ask that you do those details in a private roleplay, for those that don't wish to see it. (I am aware that the sexuality notice isn't on, because I don't feel like waiting several months to be able to make this. I still expect maturity in the roleplay.)

I'm not looking for a massive group. At the most, I only want 2-6 people for this. Keep in mind that your character can die in this. I also would like your characters to be balanced. For example, if you are a powerful mage of some sort, you can't also be some kind of weapons master. I don't want someone trying to be too much of a powerhouse. Hope this catches someone's interest. Happy almost holidays!

Ooo~ This sounds very fun! I would love to join! I can play as Xylia, an elf with magical powers.

Just read your character, and it sounds very interesting! I'd be glad to let you join in! I'd like to wait to see if perhaps one or two more people will join in before starting this if that's alright!

Awesome!

I might be interested My character is a wandering swordsman, but he's not all he seems.

(Also, do keep in mind that you must be 18 to play out sexual scenes. Just a heads up since I don't want anyone to get into legal trouble.)

A swordsman is just fine. As for the sexual scenes, that is why I ask for people to keep those sort of things to their own private roleplays. I don't mind teasing actions or the like, but as I said, I'd like it kept mature. This is not a smut roleplay. Anyways, your character will be fine. I'll wait a bit to see if one more joins, but if not, we'll get started.

I'm interested in this role play but I'd have to make a character for this...would it be ok to do so?

That would be perfectly fine, as long as the character is detailed and fits the genre for the roleplay.

May I ask your requirements for a character when you mean detailed?

Well, the obvious things are the height, weight, apparent age, etc. But the somewhat important thing for this roleplay is the kind of skill set the character has. For example, are they a swordsman or an archer? A warrior or a sorcerer? Are they even a combat-skilled person?

With this, you can't have a massive combo of things either. For example, if you decide to be a knight, you can't also choose to be some legendary wizard at the same time. It's one or the other. Combos with things such as being a wizard and a bard though are acceptable. If that helps or makes it more confusing, just let me know.

What about the possibility of a combination of a wizard and a foreign ambassador that got stranded while on their way to make a trade deal with the five kingdoms or perhaps just a wizard and a spiritual leader?

That would be fine.

I'll get to work then

Once I have that character, I will start the roleplay, most likely tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it everyone!

So am I!

Me to

Perfect, just making sure

My character has a few other perks, but a TON of downfalls too. I'll PM you if you want the details.

As long as it's nothing too major, I'm sure it's fine. I just don't want someone trying to join with a 'master or everything' character.

Aight. And yeah, those are no fun to play with. Hell, they're no fun to play at all!

Ok so here she is..I probably made some mistakes and would appreciate being told what could be fixed so she'd fit in better instead of outright being told no...also will the characters young age be an issue as well?
