While this would be my first time posting a thread here, I've hosted this particular RP twice before in another forum, both of which started out great and lasted for awhile before the members in it became inactive due to real life events. But because of how great it was turning out, and the interesting characters/events I got out of it, I want to try bringing it here and see if more can be done with it!
Lynthia takes place in medieval times. It's pretty basic in terms of setting, with a single King and races such as elves and dwarfs within it. A neat factor about Lynthia is that even the animals are able to communicate, but only some. Believed to be part of "Lynthia's Mysteries", some of the animals become smart enough to speak in Common Speech (aka English) and therefore talk to others with said language.
What's really notable about Lynthia, however, is that it's inhabitants can be born with unique abilities. These "abilities" range from a number of things, such as a simple special talent or knack for something (taking care of animals, cooking, etc) to something more extreme such as wielding fire! The drawback for this, however, should your character have an ability, is that it needs to be unique enough to pass in the RP. For example, saying your character can "summon fire" isn't unique enough. I can think of twenty others that can, also, without batting an eyelash. You have to be more creative with your character's ability, something that can be there's and there's alone. This doesn't mean it has to be 100% original, but think outside of the box.
Lynthia has it's own map, with cities, towns, rivers, etc included, but the whole purpose of Lynthia is going to be to allow everyone participating to add on to it and extend it as much as possible. The RP would thrive on the creativity and ideas of EVERYONE joining, the whole point of the RP is for everyone to have fun and be creative! It has the basic information necessary to get started, but the rest is up to us!
That said, plot would be the main thing needed to work on. I have a possible idea that may get us started, but to be honest, I don't think it's original enough to be considered that interesting. So ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated ^^;
However, to keep things fun and unexpected, the RP won't stick too close to the plot's route, because (as I'm sure most of you already know) an RP could take an unexpected turn, and for the better. While we may have planned for one thing to happen, something else could have changed and now a different path has been set for our characters. The plot is pretty much just there as a kind of guideline, to keep the RP from aimlessly wandering, but if we try being too strict with it then the RP can get pretty boring cause no one is able to do what they want to do, or it may seem out of character for some because they weren't allowed to do what their characters would normally do in such a situation.
So, there you have it! I swear that the actual thread would be much more flashy and organized than this, with better details and information, but this is just to see if it'll catch anyone's interest in the first place. Let me know what you think, and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!

I tagged all of you guys because of the RP we were all in that very recently got closed down due to the host's irl struggles. It was quite out of the blue, and now we all must wait for the Rp to be brought back. In the meantime, however, and with the possible chance that you're now all looking for a new RP to join, I thought you may take an interest in this one here. If not, it's okay, and you can ignore it ^^;
If you are interested, however, I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions on this, and any ideas or suggestions you may have! I was really enjoying Anteheroes and was incredibly upset to find out it had to come to a close (not that I blame Kuroakuma at all, stuff happens, you know?), and I was having a good time RPing with the majority of you, and others I would of liked to RP with a little more and get to know you. I apologize for the lack of substance to this thread, but as I mentioned before, the Rp thread itself will be a lot more flashy and detailed, I just didn't want to put in all the effort if the RP wasn't going to have much interest anyway, haha.
