Fantasy The Journey of Unification [OPEN 5/7 slots] 10/01/2017

Shin Positron Laser

Guardian of the Old Ways
The Journey of Unification
maxresdefault.jpg
Long ago, the World was safeguarded by the Five Great Races, known as the Keepers. They Cultivated, Protected and Nourished the planet with life and spirit.

These ones prepared the world for the day when humankind would become its guardian. When that time came, they vanished from it, never to be heard of again.

The Great Races held a profound hope that humankind would bring peace and prosperity to the world. However we proved unworthy of such trust and
responsibility. Centuries of human history testify to our infantile nature as a Race, deeply divided by aspects of our own creation.

In time we were given an opportunity to display our worth as beings of this World; Elegos. Once in a lifetime, a Holy One, Leaders of the Great Races, would bestow upon a child the Crest of Unity.

When the child became of Age, this one would set out on a Journey of Unification. This was to serve as a symbol known as

The Savior...

This particular storyline will exist in the RP World of the Principle Journey. The Principle Journey is a Roleplay created over 5 years ago that contains existing lore that has been archived and catalogued for future RP's using it as a basis. While the RP itself will build upon the World in terms of history, events and lore, it will stand on its own, requiring very little knowledge of what has been previously written. Essentially, players do not need to know anything about the RP's lore.

This Roleplay will be conducted as a ' The Hero's Journey '. A Hero's Journey has the titular role of the Hero, in our case the Savior and usually involves a small group, no more than 6 players excluding GM. In the Hero's journey, an ensemble cast of characters from all walks of life journey to different and exotic places forming bonds and overcoming hurdles along the way. It is a great way for personal conflicts to develop, and to show how differences in personality and upbringing result in contrasting responses to ideologies and spiritual beliefs.

Currently we are waiting for the HP threads to return to their Forum. I have it on good authority they will be restored. Until then I will update this Interest Check with information on character building for those who are really interested in RPing.


If you are interested, here are a few things we are looking for in players and somethings you may look forward to in our RP


-We are looking for no more than 6 members though 3-4 would work as well.

-Availability: We ask that players post in IC with at least 2 posts a week. We are a smaller group so to keep momentum going, rather than lots of posts, regular posting is recommended,

-Characters: Characters will have a specific role but it will be general enough for players to make it their own.

-Writing: It is casually detailed, anywhere fro 5-10 lines normally, but it has been my experience that players will subconsciously write more and more as time goes on . No IC one-liners please

-Creativity: We would love your contribution to this Original World RP, from flora to fauna to technology.

-Gaming: There are some game mechanics to keep combat and use of supernatural powers interesting and balanced.


If you thought to yourself, " I can do that! " here is what you can look forward to!
What WE offer YOU! :

- Genres include; Fantasy/Action/Romance/Supernatural/Homage/Adventure/Drama/Original/World Building

- An organized layout to help you navigate the walls of text that are found in the RP

- A game system that balances, rewards and tempers your characters with Action Dice, Support Tech, Items and more

- Encyclopedic look at the Worlds Lore, Plants, Animal, Organizations, Locations, History, Technology etc.

- Detailed Battle Systems, 1x1 duels, Player vs NPC group battles, Player Groups WAR SYSTEM, NPC Artillery, Airship Battles

- ZERO TO HERO progression. Everyone starts small, but those that play for a while get to do BIG things. Especially with our reward system.


These are the roles that should be filled in and they are in priority order.

The Savior: For the purpose of simplicity and flow, the GM will assume the role of Savior

Saviors Companion/Friend (2) : No gender preference. Should also be a member of the Church of Unification, can be a ranking member or play a specific role.

Saviors Protector ( 2-3 ) : A personal Guard chosen by the Church of Unification. Warriors, Soldiers, mercenaries, you name it. No gender preferences, no older than 27, no younger than 17

Here is a sample of the World that has already been created.
Because of the existing information regarding the RP world, players can concentrate more on character development rather than world building.That is not to say players cannot contribute to building the world. Indeed, as there has been in the past, a submission thread will be implemented for times when we need to expand on the worlds fauna, flora, organizations, peoples or places.

  • SENECA
    mid_70936_7990.jpg


    Type: Mammal
    Diet: Herbivore
    Habitat: Deciduous Forests and Tundra.
    Average Length : 2.2m
    Average Height: 1.4m
    Average Weight: 200lbs
    Lifespan: 15 years
    Top Speed: unantlered 40 KPH / Antlered 20 KPH


    Behavioral and Historical Description:

    The Seneca is at the center of the Northern Forest food chain. Their white coat makes it easy for other fauna to spot them in forested areas, while the leaves sprouting from their extensive antlers works the same way in the depths of a tundra. This may seem counter-intuitive to its survival, but it actually wants to be seen. Year round, the green plantae produces copious amounts of nutrient rich nectar through photosynthesis and what the body eats. This nectar attracts many species of bees, insects, birds, other mammalian herbivores, and even predators. Those who feed on the Seneca’s nectar form a sort of symbiotic relationship with it the same as the plantae has with the Seneca itself. As a Seneca grows out its antlers, the slower it becomes yet the less it needs to runaway, for it is able to attract more and more Animalia to act as “Defenders” on the choice predators that do prey on their meat.

    Of course, these defenders will prey on each other, so each Seneca usually has a choice set of animals that attach themselves. You won’t see a Seneca feeding both a herd of Papaopamus and a nest of adolescent Griffons. In times of disparity, packs of competing predators will fight for “possession” of these vital sources of food, and farm them through harsh winters or food shortages.

    Their antlers can also be used as a defense mechanism, protecting most of its body besides its hind-quarters. When being preyed upon, it may detach its precious horns in a last ditch attempt to run away. Even if they escape, it is rare that they survive long after they lose their horns.

    Farming Seneca is not viable. They require too much food for modern agriculture to facilitate. Additionally, they will usually panic and detach their antlers if kept penned in a small area. The odd farmer may keep one semi-pinned in their backyard, but the many Defending animals that feed on the nectar make it difficult to cultivate.

    Appearance Description: The Seneca is a white coated herbivore. Both genders wield grandiose antlers which house a plantae considered a part of the animal. Their coats are soft and luxurious, lending them to be the prime choice of quality fabric.



    Special Abilities: The production of a healthy nectar-paste that heals 1 HP per 100ml. Produces 2 Liters per day. (Total 2000ml a day.)


    Other: Created by cokemonster cokemonster
    The flora and Seneca seem have once been two independent organisms now melded together. Seeds are rooted in the horns of the fauna at birth, lending it to be now be considered one mammal for simplicity. It may have started as a parasite feeding on the animal’s life, but has sense grown to live with it as one. This along with the strange way it survives has made the Seneca a symbol of peace and generosity. Why can’t everyone just get along like the Seneca does?

A hero's journey, it all sounds rather interesting. I do believe I can meet the requirements this time around.

It will be interesting to play along side the hero, as opposed to being a "group of chosen ones." Each character is important, but they all have a role to play in protecting the hero, is there glory in being a hero's shield? A hero's sword?

Depends on how you look at it I guess.

lol there's a username I have not seen in a while. Although you do pop up in some of the rp discussions every now and then when read some posts.

Anyway I would absolutely love it if you could try again. Honestly, the main differences between this RP and the first one are the RP's format, the main storyline and the setting.

Although it looks like I will have to elaborate in the Interest check until the HP is restored.

I've found a few ways to get a impromptu HP working, real simple involving links to all other pages on each of the first page but thats just usage of what we got available now, I'll be damned if it ain't easier to just work in a HP, but thats how it is these days.

That said, I am curious where this one will go.

I might require and request your help if that would be the case.

I am hopeful that the HP will be recovered however. It was only a week ago that the threads within the HP were archived. Since then I had made an appeal to the authorities and have received assurances it can be restored. The saving grace was that the HP Forum itself had not been deleted. I lucked out.

Anyway this RP will be much more intimate for characters and more open for players. It is a return to form because the RP we had going before coming to RPN was of that format.

Unlike mission-type layout, the monster hunter style combat and Calamity of War plot from the previous one, this RP will deal with internal conflicts based on differences of Faith, culture and perspective. The main theme is about Unity, so adding elements of disruption for the characters is essential.

*Monster hunter mentioned, urge to hunt rises*

Yes, most likely I will be. At the very least. I will provide the information required for interested players to build their character. An added bonus will be non-human characters may be accepted this time around. I just need to incorporate plot reasons for them being there.

Also dice standard dice mechanics have returned. That should smooth over things.

definitly, I've been checking around to see if any of the people who've been waiting for the dice to come back up.

Turns out, not many taking advantage of it.
 
I'll get more info on the world before I start brainstorming, or rather going through my massive collection of pictures for ideas.

A protector, a shield, a guardian for a great future hero!

may or may not take a jab at the hero for being such.
 
Kay, might like to try being a childhood friend.

which makes me want to ask you something about that. later though.
 
Pls let me know which of them you wish to join. Not that I am discouraging playing in both if the player is willing and able. I kust need to see where everyone stands in each rp.
May I be a hired/chosen shield then?
 
Very interesting. The whole epic journey of a small group composed of a hero and his companions is appealing. (I'm a sucker for friendship and character development)
You might remember me from my extremely brief appearance in your other rp. After a hiatus I've just come back and am looking for an rp or two to get into since I'm not exactly in any at the moment. I'm pretty interested in playing one of the savior's childhood companions/friends.
 
Sounds good. I think I will use the Character Feedback section for now, so that you guys can build your characters and I can give you some feedback. That way they may all be ready and approved when the RP is restored.
How do I develop my character without the abundance of world lore from last time?
 
Shin Positron Laser Shin Positron Laser , I'd love to join this RP. It's been a long time since I've formally RP'd before and while lurking found this thread. Hopefully I'm not too rusty to join!

Not at all. We are more than happy to have you! Welcome.

How do I develop my character without the abundance of world lore from last time?

The CS form I will give you will have all the necessary links to the archived Lore. I collected them when they moved the threads.
