Prrrgadilly Prrrgadilly hell yeah, wiv. maybe not with this one, but I'd be down.
I probably have more to say about the other characters, but right now I'm really liking how the whole Wivean lifespan deal works, and I think RhythmWolf Rocky RhythmWolf Rocky 's owl assassin is gonna be pretty interesting as well (nice art, by the way). Anyone else with feathers, other than Layana and the good old Valkyries? No? Alright, moving on then.

I'm gonna work my backstory out and make it real good, but right now I feel like explaining more about this race where it can't really be put in the sheet. Why not, right?

In a world entirely different from this one, the Beenu possessed an incredible affinity for advanced technology - the most prominent example being an underground facility which contained objects and systems akin to the computers, weapons, security systems, and metal refinement that currently exist in the modern world. It was an unprecedented leap in technology that was hardly ever understood by any of the other races. It seemed, even, that the Beenu were so intensely focused on science and advancement that the use of their wings and magical abilities was often forgone in favor of performing research & development indoors.

Unfortunately, however, tragedy struck for the Beenu. Because they were one of the very first races to understand the reverse-aging effect of refined dragon silver, made from the scales of a Dragon Aspect, it seemed only logical for people to believe they were responsible for the sudden death of one of the two Sun Dragons, Phanto - especially for the elves, who had lost their immortality as a result of the new moon and thus were able to experience the true horrors of death and suffering in the event that would be known as the Birth of Magic.

Against the wishes of the elven king, a small group of elven assassins set out to the facility mentioned earlier, with the goal of poisoning the main source of silver distribution for the Beenu - and then murdering every single Beenu in the facility, in order to remove all witnesses from the event. It was an act of pure genocide, committed by individuals who saw the Beenu as much less than people.

With the tainted silver removing their ability to live long or reproduce, it would only take decades before the death of every Beenu in the world was at hand. And so, before the turn of the next century, the first and only known extinction of a race in the realms ever occurred.
Here's a video of this very event. Go to the beginning, if you're interested in seeing it all play out.

In short, while there isn't any kind of advanced technology in the Land of Wings, I've still tried to blend some form of magical and tech-savvy nature into my character, as that is what her race is known for elsewhere. If you thought natural cosmetics was all my character knew, then you're going to be pleasantly surprised at the level of alchemical talent she's got, as Beenu compensate for their short lives by learning things very, very quickly. Some of the recipes I've given her knowledge of are straight out of modern aviation. You can probably guess what I'm going to have her start making next, based on the powers of the character right below hers.
 
Anyone else with feathers, other than Layana and the good old Valkyries? No? Alright, moving on then.
That'd be the Queen. :P
Though, she isn't much in a position to give herself a make over to attract suiters.

Now I was supposed to reply to a few things, lemme get to that..
Jakelad, you can always add more sections to the character sheet, or if I finally get myself in gear to making that species page you can PM it and then I'll place it there for all to see :)

Back to the cs-checking and other stuff I need to do before I can get this RP moving
 
Prrrgadilly Prrrgadilly I take it that love potion was there in the CS to meet the requirements? :P
Juuuust you know, curious, you plan on having him be naked most of the time or covered up? 'Cause that will likely affect some characters' way of reacting if you know... the body itself is very humanoid. Hahaha. The CS looks good, sound backstory and species description, so it's all good from the looks of it.

RhythmWolf Rocky RhythmWolf Rocky I suppose the species description you gave could work indeed. The only thing I'd say is that humans (Homo Sapiens) evolved from the water beings back when the supercontinent Pangea was revealed. But similar beings did exist prior to that on the Land even before it was lifted into the sky. Hence why a lot of species have humanoid traits or look mostly human but with a winged aspect (like angels, some types of demons, or shapeshifters)
Since this wasn't intended as a lore heavy RP, I'll say it's fine to just kind of leave it ambiguous. I mean, I haven't even gotten my own lore right lol.

I think that was it what I needed to respond to in regards to character sheets?
 
official clown business official clown business Thank you! Heh, what assassin? I only see an innocent bartender *angel face* :P I've taken quite an interest to the Beenu. If you don't mind my saying, they remind me a bit of dwarves, but instead of creatures of the earth, they are of the sky.

Olissa Olissa I tried to slide the evolution of the species into the Land's lore, or what I could try to grasp from it. I used the fact that the land is airborne as a reason for natural selection to occur, as it provides the appropriate conditions for avian evolution. Anyways, I like to be in depth particularly with a species that is so specific; these guys aren't like normal werecreatures and skin changers. I still have a little more to add in regards to lifespan and some tiny details on Jonathan's particular form, but other than that, the information on generic Shifters is mostly complete.

Unexplained gaps can work. I mean, ambiguity leaves room for growth via roleplay, so that's cool. We can always add onto the lore later when more complex connections are made between characters.
 
Olissa Olissa
Yep, I think I've solidified my character's background now. I'm probably going to touch up the species part at some point, but other than that if there's nothing else that needs to be worked on then rainbow bird should be good to go!

Whatever you need, my friends - and she's seen plenty of stuff already. Whether it's a teenage phase, a strange ritual, royal colors, or your standard peacocking affair, there are few problems a couple tinctures of feather dye can't solve.

  1. Yep, the love potion is for the requirement.
  2. Yes he will be clothed. The pic was just nude.
  3. Thanks
 
Ah, it's the characters we need to wait for mainly. I'm not sure how much of the beginning stuff will be dependent on the characters and their backstories, but either way you can't quite roleplay without a character.

I'm always down to hear about your characters, what kind of ideas you have in mind and how we could possibly react with each other. Whatever helps get the words out, as long as you're aware of whose character is the better-looking one.
 
Ah crappers, I checked the last message, decided to reply when I was at the laptop so I could also get the IC up, and then I just never got to doing anything with the laptop for days... my bad.
It's still on as far as I'm concerned, I hope I can get the laptop to start the main thread. With just a few we can at least get some momentum, which might help others In completing their characters.
 
Alrighty things are going slower than expected, I'm still here, I still hope to have the IC up within this week, but there is a chance that it might have to end up being posted on Sunday or Monday. (Going to comic con here on Saturday and working hard on baby's costume)
 
As so the reason some people may not have finished their characters, Olissa Olissa is because the format and requirements are pretty detailed. I am one of those people that enjoy to RP and can be pretty darn detailed, but the character requirements are pretty daunting. Just my opinion.
 
Whaddup! I'm thinking of making a character for this, quick question though what's your policy on written descriptions? I ask because I'm absolutely terrible at finding images for characters.
 
Thinking of using one of my characters for this! She's based off kinnaras (half human, half bird) in south-east asia. Will tweak the history to suit the rp!
 
Alright I'm back and ready to get this show on the road. Comic con was great, people adored my little one in his superman outfit so it was worth it.

I'm personally not much a fan of having solely a written description, since a written part is also required in the CS, but if it really doesn't work to find something suitable, we can work something out.
 
Alright, it's not much but it's up, I'll throw in a post in a moment with all the definitely accepted characters. If your character isn't there but you thought you were accepted/done, let me know and I'll do what I can to fix it :)

Avatar Arvis Avatar Arvis the CS looks finished but I don't recall if you ever mentioned if the CS was done or not? If he is I can check him and add him to the list of characters that can post in the IC?
 
Olissa Olissa If my character isn’t acceptable as he is please let me know how to fix him. The character sheet is complete. Sorry about the image I’m terrible with coding.
