Fantasy Explore the RainRealms (OPEN)

[TurboTornado]

INTRO​

I tend to write 1-2 paragraphs. One paragraph tends to be 3-4 lines. I like to focus more on personal struggles and relationships then some grand goal. I like to have some kind of supernatural element, no matter the setting. I like to play vampires, elves, shapeshifters (not the werewolf kind). Romance is fine by me but I'd prefer sex to be fade to black. I can play any gender and pairing. I have OCs prepared for any of the scenarios below.

LORE​

All below mentioned scenarios take place in RainRealms, a world defined by the unrelenting Rain. Seldom, the clouds part enough to see the Great Bee, the striped sun of this world. Below the clouds lies a vast ocean dotted with numerous island between which fisher dinghys, merchant galleons and warships alike travel. The sea is the lifeblood of trade and culture.

The islands are inhabited by array of different races, elves, orcs, and elementals. The more untamed and virginal islands are home to dryads and pluvs.
Pluvs "Children of the Rain" as they call themselves, are a folk of elfin features. Their skin is white with black spots in youth but with age, it turns grey. They revel in the rain, but hold great superstition against the sea viewing it as their final resting place.

While rain never ceases, there's still great deal of variation in it. People of RainRealms recognise two main variants - the ordinary or common rain and the Astral Rain.

Astral Rain is a monsoon period which over the course of a year sweeps the entire planet. During it, the latent magic within the water and the earth stir and release into the air. Because of how strongly certain races, especially pluvs and fire elementals, react to the Astral Rain, ships have to cover their decks with a thick canvas to avoid injury or even death.

Scenarios:​

• Treasure hunt for an artifact of a precursor civilization
• Mutiny against a tyrant captain
• You are hired to hunt down a notorious pirate captain, but there's twists and secrets
• You run drug ring, refining and distributing a highly addictive hallucinogen
• You find yourselves in uncharted waters and supplies are running low, the only land in your reach the infamous Ghost Island

I'm also open to workshopping scenarios with you.

My DMs are open so HMU!

[Daylight Fantasy]

Interested! Mainly looking at the Treasure Hunt and Ghost Island but I'm down to do the rest as well.

I believe I can fly...

 

[Lost Martian]

I’m interested as well, and I’m leaning towards the treasure hunt or mutiny plots, though I would be fine with any of them. Also I would like to know what kind of species are we allowed to play as.

 

[TurboTornado]

All races mentioned in the blurb (Elves, Orcs, Elementals, Dryads and Pluvs) are allowed as well as an undead race called the Awakened. Although if you'd like to play an Awakened, we will have to discuss your backstory thoroughly as the reason you are Awakened is always tied to a pivotal moment in your past.

 

[Lost Martian]

Like I mentioned in that PM I’m thinking of playing an Air Elemental, a perpetual wanderer.

Also bumping this myself as this is a cool idea and people should join.

So, guys do you wanna play with just two ppl or should we keep the ad up for a bit longer and hope there's more takers?

While I would prefer a slightly larger group than what we have, I am willing to start with just us, perhaps doubling up on characters to have a more proper size party. What do you think?

I'd really prefer having at least one more person, since doubling isn't my favorite thing but this is getting very little traffic so...unless we are able to coax someone into joining we might have to double up.

 

[Lost Martian]

Alright then. Maybe if we pick what plot we want to do and revamp the opening post to have information about said plot, that could potentially draw in some other players. I think some people what a planned story ready more so than just a cool setting. So maybe we should do that.

 

[TurboTornado]

Maybe, if you and Daylight Fantasy can agree on which scenario you want, then we can revamp the check together. Either posting a new one or bumping the current one.

 

[Lost Martian]

So I'm leaning toward the treasure hunt, as that could be a simple plot to introduce this world, perhaps leading into some more plots later. I also think that when we decide on a plot we create a new interest check. Some people might look at the age of this one less favorably than seeing a completely new thread.

 

[TurboTornado]

Right, I can still link the old lore, since that still applies and I now know how to ask for a post deletion. I also imagine people's eyes just glazed over reading the lore.
