"Courage, Curiosity, and Cunning... Those are the marks of a true Master."

The land of a Vennex is mysterious and fascinating one. It is a place abundant with both fantastical horrors and beauties. Creatures of all shorts inhabit Vennex. We have created civilizations and advanced what in magic, science, and technology... Though threats creep upon the world every so often, Vennex is fortunately protected by some of the finest and most capable individuals in the land. These individuals are known as the Masters.

Each Master is skilled in their own "craft," whether it be magic, sword fighting, or more obscure ones like smithing or cooking. It is customary for a Master to eventually take on a young apprentice. Masters choose their apprentices through whatever means: fate, luck, competition... Whatever the circumstance, apprentices are chosen by the Master to be their successor when the time comes.

When a Master believes that their apprentice is of age both in body and mind, they shall send them out on their Initiation. The Initiation is used to test the apprentice so that they may prove themselves worthy to take the mantle of their Master. The task sounds simple enough: find at least 7 other Masters and receive their blessings. But the task is not as easy as it seems. Masters can be extremely hard to track down; many keep to themselves like hermits to the outside world. The journey throughout Vennex itself has risks and dangers around every corner... It is not uncommon for apprentices to never return. Some Masters have to take on multiple apprentices before finding one finally finishes their Initiation. The Initiation is the ultimate test of an apprentice’s body, mind, and willpower.

You are an apprentice who is finally being sent out to start your Initiation.
This is your story. Your destiny is in your own hands.
Remember all your Master has taught you and good luck.
You will need it.

The path you walk is determined by the master you choose. You will decide one from the following three:
Courage

Introduction:
Hail, traveler! I'm Kwillz: a simple little dork who, on top of a love for overwatch, has a passion for storytelling. Roleplaying has always been one of my favorite means of telling stories, and lately, I’ve been really getting into GMing. I’m currently a new Dungeons and Dragon DM planning a game I’m gonna run with my friends and I thought I could GM something here to practice. But I’ve gained a fear of group rps just bc they fall apart and lose steam so easily, so instead I’m doing one of the 1x1 choose your path kind of rp. You know how it goes: I give you the scenario and the options and you pick one and respond accordingly.

So right now I’m looking for one— just one atm bc I don’t like doubling up on roleplays sorry— taker who is just as passionate about roleplaying as myself. The plot is obviously already above. You just have to make a protagonist while I give you the world and build a story around what you do. I am purposefully keeping most of the world a blank canvas so that you can add stuff and we can build Vennex together! Thanks for your time and I look forward to some awesome storytelling! :)

(((Btw don’t forget to read the rules or I will probably ignore you k thanks)))

About Me:
  • I go by EST (UTC−4:00), but I'm an early riser and am up fairly late (basically I don't sleep much) so I reply whenever during the day.
  • I am aware that there are people (more than I thought) who are conscious of this, so I'll say it: I’m still in high school and under 18. I would love to be with someone closer to my age, but I myself am not too concerned about partners being older than me because that's usually the case. But if you are uncomfortable with being with a toddler in diapers like me, you best look elsewhere.
  • As much as I love roleplaying, I do have a life outside of it. So while I should be online often may not be on at every single moment of the day. I will always try my hardest to get one post per day or every other day. I pretty much promise you one a week. If I don't, that means I forgot, hit a block, or am busy (I will let you know if it is one of the latter two). I just got out of school for summer, so, for the most part, I’ll be lurking the site all day. But there will be a few weeks where I’ll be busy and my activity will be limited
  • I can rp darker themes/topics (death, violence, cursing, drugs and alcohol, trauma, etc.) but I will NOT write out anything NSFW (since that's also against RpN rules). If anything does have to happen, we will black out and skip over it.
  • OOC chat is just fine with me, I'd love to be pals! We can swap discords and/or battletags, and talk about anything we have in common. RPing will stay on-site but I’m totally down with ooc chat on discord since it’s faster. ^^ My Discord is Kwillz#1715 and my Battletag is Kwillz#1490 (hopefully you don't get those confused lol)
What I'm looking for:
  • I ask that you try to commit to this long-term. Should you have to leave for your own reasons, that's fine. Just let me know. If we reach any creative bumps, let's discuss it before we disappear on each other.
  • Be pretty active please, that's the only way you can keep my attention. One post or more a day is ideal, but gaps occasionally are fine. Telling each me of coming long absences you know about in advance should be a given as I'll make sure to give the same courtesy.
  • Decent grammar and language understanding is appreciated. But occasional errors here and there are things I'm not strict about. You don't need to use the biggest words or have the most eloquent style of writing. Just something I can understand.
  • I want this to be a thread rp (just so I can use extra pages for lore and npcs and stuff if I want to) so please be okay with threads. PMs and/or Discord will be used for OOC and planning only. I do NOT roleplay off-site.
  • I'd like someone who could write at least one full paragraph per post. I love detail! Plus, writing more gives me more to work with.
  • Someone mature who can handle some darker themes. They just make things interesting.
  • **Please be creative and add to the story!** Don't just leave me to drag everything along by myself. Help build the world/story and let it come to life! Add something with each reply instead of simply responding with "Okay" or "I agree" and leave me to continue for the both of us. If you keep doing that we're going to have a problem.
  • I appreciate people who take the time to read the rules. And just so I know you did, when you tell me you're interested, tell me your favorite fantasy world trope.
  • Hopefully be a friendly person. I like to consider myself a chill person, and I love getting to know my partners. So please just don't be a jerk. :)
If anyone is interested please feel free to comment down below! Thanks and have a swell day! :D
 
Oh, so this is a quest RP of sorts. Got it! I do have to ask though, what kind of magic exists in this world? Also, if it's a "choose your own path" sort of deal, how am I suppose to contribute without interfiering with the story you are trying to tell? If you're only gonna pick one person is it the first person that shows up or is it like a process of candidate selection?

I do love the idea though, and I am a big fan of fantasy. Personally I lean more towards comedy and light-hearted content than dark themes, but like anyone else I can get a mixture of both in my life. My favorite trope is very hard to say there's just so many, but I guess I'd say the RPG-type magic systems trope is a good candidate. I am all for hard magic systems with good clear rules that let you explore them without the constant Deus Ex Machina that light magic systems bring.
 
Idea Idea I’m still working out specifics of the world and nothing is set in stone, but the kind of magic system I was leaning towards is one similar to Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition, since that’s one I’m pretty familiar with. It’ll probably be a simplified version of that but I’m always open to suggestions if you have your own ideas for magic systems and you don’t need to know anything about DnD to do this (it’s just a source of inspiration for me). This is very similar to the quest rp system, yes, but for this it’s going to much more open ended and catered to the adventurer specifically. The options I would give you would be more suggestions than choices and I will usually give you the ability to do something completely different with the “something else” option. The choices are also very vague; for example, if one option is “talk to npc,” you would be able describe how you do it in anyway you like, instead of me moving everything like chess pieces. It just feels more natural that way. I’m much more of a reactive and impromptu kind of GM. I don’t necessarily have a “set story” per se. You will contribute a lot to the story. Everything that happens will be based on choices you make, seriously. I have ideas on major story beats, but they’re not set in stone. Your choices and your own ideas will shape the path of the story just and much if not more than me. You don’t even have to touch my story beats and I’ll just have to roll with it (which i’m totally fine with!). My goal is to make this as collaborative as possible. Think of this more like an open field than a path with a specific destination. Also yes, I was planning on just doing this with the first person who’s interested (so long as they read the rules). So that looks like it’s you if you’re up for it :D

Hope that answers your questions. ^^

Aright then. For the magic system I was looking to do somehting specific with it, so let's discuss that. Provided I can do that thing I have in mind I'm in. :) I'll send you a friend request to your discord.

Edit: Sent the friend request. Now awaiting your acceptance of it to start communication

Awesome, I’ll accept it right now but I will probably be slow with replies for a bit since I’m using mobile at the moment.
