Μεσαιωνικό Απόβλητα: Lands of Strife
In case you’re wondering about the title, it’s Greek, look it up. I’ve recently taken up an interest in Dr Von Grim’s RP threads (Check ‘em out, they’re very developed and well done/ fun.) and I figured I’d make my own as I have been considering making my own since before I started participating in Grim’s. It was sort of him who actually made me think, “Oh, I can do this, it’s not hard,” because it’s not hard, it’s just time consuming. A note: Because the title won’t grab people as much, though I tried to get it to be eye-catching, I need any participants to invite others. Ok, enough about me, now for the RP details.
Most of this RP, for now, will take place in a singular kingdom called Cydrom (Sy-drum). Beginning in the Western Colonies, participants will travel via ferry to the mainland where they will be greeted by the mysterious and ancient harbor keeper (See images from Face Off S2 E4 Xerophobia. I saw it and thought, “perfect,” except the Harbor Keeper is male, not female. No one knows what it used to be… perhaps a long-dead race…). The mission is to find out what has happened, as the colonies have lost contact with the Kingdom for 6 months now. A side mission is to map out unexplored areas of the mainland which have previously been ignored. The colonies have sent their best alchemists, magic practitioners, and warriors alike.
I will try to post a map on a future date, but here’s the general land layout
+(Spawn/ center of map/ Desert Harbor) Desert sand and dunes surround the area for several miles, but fortunately, ancient pathways made of stone still guide the way through to other lands. The desert is called the Issilian Desert. ((Note: Names for all places haven’t been decided. Feel free to suggest names.))
+East (in proportion to the “spawn”)- A high cliff face in the distance can be seen, and behind them, to the Far East are jagged mountains. Even further East are volcanoes and the rocky wastes where scorched trees and fires fill the land
+West- Coastline & Ancient Harbor
+North- Prairie, plains, and fertile land fit for farming and city. The main city and castle is in this land offset to the center and slightly north of the land. Sparse trees and rocks occupy the ground
+South- Taiga/ Forest- (Shifts from desert to plains to forest) Temperatures are slightly below average here
+Far North- Mountains & Glaciers, some Ice caves and crevices as well. Very cold
+Far South- Ancient Forest filled with fog and cobwebs. Said to be haunted and/or enchanted with roaming estranged beasts, but little is known. Beware the wood folk. A little warmer than its northern counterpart, but can get colder, yet never snows. Requires exploration
Colonial Land biomes to choose from for place of origin. Each has one settlement except the wooded area.
+Far North- Tundra, very cold ((Settlement name: Kistalden))
+North Mountainous- Below temperate, especially at the higher altitudes
+Central- Woods with minimal plant canvas
+South- Marshy area with intermittent grasses and some trees resembling Cyprus trees. Slightly higher than temperate
+Far South- Swampy area with less land and much tree cover, some mangrove areas. Also includes a river delta. Hot and muggy air surrounds this area.
A note: Precipitation in the colonies is primarily dependent on biome and is subject to it as such. Normal Animals do exist, and as such you can have land mounts. No flying mounts please.
Now there’s just one more thing I need you to fill out: ((I know, a lot of reading, but what can I say? I’m a bit of a writer.))
Name: (Who are you?)
Race/ Species: (What are you?)
Gender: (Uh duh dah…)
Age: (How old is your character?)
Appearance: (Be as detailed as you like.)
Abilities: (I’m not too restrictive on this, be creative. Surprise me.)
Class: (Again, be creative, but get it under one of the three categories then subcategory. EX: Alchemist- Potion maker.)
Colonial Region Origin: (Kistalden/Far North, North, Central, South, or Far S. As names for the individual cities are as of yet non-existent, feel free to suggest names. They will be replaced when named.)
((I should mention that you may include weapons/ items if you wish. Just keep in mind that things don’t appear out of thin air… most of the time. Seriously, though, think ahead.))
You’re all done… except…
Simple rules:
-Try not to kill each other, that’s what NPCs are for…
-Be kind. Your character can be cruel, but in notes, be reasonable
-Have fun (But that’s a give-me)
-Gunpowder exists, but moreover as an ingredient. No guns please
-No OP (over-powered) Characters, please. Powerful abilities should be draining or have counters that weaken you to balance it
-Also, please no metagaming when possible. If your character didn’t hear it in RP, don’t expect him/ her to suddenly know what you’ve been told in the notes {(())}
-Some may be added later but don’t worry about it

Name: Anzen Ame
Race/Species: Arcticwolf
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Appearance: (Huh...I'm so tired of these...I seriously need to write this stuff down to copy pasta everywhere...) Curvy, sensual body, light blue fur, black ear tips, dark blue patterns around the nose and paws. Ice Blue eyes, long dark blue hair. I wear a green rangers cloak with chainmail lining, and a leather jerkin. My legs are bare, but I am covered with leather unders.

Weapons: I carry an Ashwood bow, enchanted with Sure Shot. I have a quiver with space for 100 arrows, and it generally holds steel tipped arrows. As a secondary weapon, I wield 2 Katana-like blades, as well as 2 Tanto-style blades, both coated in a substance to give less friction.
Class: Ranger-Druid
Colonial Region Origin: Kistalden/Far North/Wanderer (Ronin) (I do not live there, but I still have contact)
((Go back to other RPs and copy and paste then modify as per needed. I know your character, but others don't.))
((A Japanese stylized character... interesting. So you don't live in the Tundra's Town? You wander through the Tundra? Hmm.))
((I forgot to mention that people need to be from the colonies... you're fine, Anzen, but people need to be from the colonies for the "plan" to work.))
