Fantasy Witcher Roleplay

Any Elves or Dwarves? Someone we can pick on and probably save from being murdered by a mass race riot?
 
Oof, it's late. Here's what I got so far:

Physiology:

Godlings range from 3 to 5 feet tall, with mottled blue skin, wrinkled features and large eyes which are typically blue, black, or yellow in colour. They have two rows of small but incredibly sharp teeth, accustomed to biting through bones, roots and the tough shells of nuts. They share some traits with the humans such as hair colour and the number of fingers and toes. Their nails are black and are usually pointed and tough to break. All of the Godlings still present are hundreds of years old, originating from the Conjunction of the Spheres or from the complex and poorly documented mating rituals that they were able to do whilst their population was still fairly large. Nowadays, you’d be lucky to even see more than 2 Godlings in the same country; their playful and curious disposition has made them into dinner for a whole host of monsters over the years.

Godlings are usually prey rather than predators, so depending on their usual activities various senses can be magically heightened through centuries of use. Almost universally shared amongst Godlings is their speed and agility. They can run at an alarming velocity for a few minutes before tiring out, and climbing trees and buildings has been greatly facilitated by their stubby claws. Concerning combat, Godlings tend to avoid fighting whenever possible because they have the strength of a human child when fighting with their bare hands. They can leave a nasty bite or two, but it is largely ineffective against the monsters that roam the lands. This may also be a reason why Godlings are naturally light-footed.

Dinah’s Physiology:

Dinah stands out due to her impeccable sense of smell. Since she has been alive for so long, she is able to decipher a whole host of beasts just from the smell alone, as well as how old the scent is. Because her sense of smell is so sensitive, powerful perfumes or scents are enough to disorient her until they lose their potency.

Spellcraft:

For this section some good inspiration came from faeries, particularly the Seelie court in Celtic mythology. Godlings can cast magic but in a very weakened form. Godlings can only tolerate a certain amount of Chaos, after all, and their bodies physically prevent them from trying to cast spells that are too potent for their tiny frames to handle. Overuse of magic leaves Godlings in a state of drowsiness, where they need to sleep in order to regain enough strength to cast again. Because their bodies tend to control the level of power that a Godling can cast, the chances of a backfiring spell are miniscule.

Godlings specialise in illusion magic. The ability to warp the senses and twist one’s perception of reality is incredibly useful when you’ve been hunted for so long. Their spells may not be the strongest but they are typically the most efficient - a Godling’s magic can rival that of a druid’s if they focus all of their efforts into a very localised, very short range spell. One of the most commonly reported examples is a Godling inducing blindness, which can persist for up to 30 minutes if cast in optimum conditions.

...I'd format it, but I'm so new to this site that I have no clue what kind of code it takes, nor how to use it. Sorry about that folks.
 
Well guys I have my laptop out, my coffee's black and I got a full pack of cigarettes to chain smoke. In other words, I'm cracking down on the lore for y'all to follow so you can make your characters. When that's done I'll post the actual roleplay thread and we can start this journey. Either that or i'mma die of cancer before this gets finished lol.
 
Writing the Lore is hard and I don't know why. I mean, most of the Witcher lore is already written so it shouldn't be this hard. I've finished my whole pack of cigs and I hoped writing this thing wouldn't cost me another five bucks lol.

Hahaha here’s my advice: make the storyline very straightforward and then build around it. Also, dont be scared to discuss it with us since we are the players right? SO some contribution from us would make it more personal.

U should make a discord to share ideas more easily
 
Yeah, the way I remember doing it is Plot, Places, People - and even then I'd be focusing on the plot at every corner. GMs can make up the spoilery stuff and players can fill in the gaps with miscellaneous lore. All you gotta do is ask for something specific - we're all as hyped as you are for the RP and even if you don't like any of the ideas we have, you can use them as the building blocks for your own!
 
I don’t think anyone would be against you taking the liberty of just saying that the RP takes place after the latest Witcher events which will give you a bit more creative freedom, especially since it’ll be set in redania. Just gives you a reason to not have to 100% preset lore.

Or... in a dystopia of that world so those event never occurred xD (and gives us the oportunity to rp it)

Okay the moment has arrived everyone, Witcher Tales: Curse of the Locklongs, is now up and running! I'd encourage all of you to give it a quick read through then make your characters. If you have any questions, any at all, please ask and I shall answer them. I know some of the lore is rather brief but, in all honesty, that was intentional. My style is more of a "make up as I go along" kinda thing. On top of that I'm eager to see what all characters you guys come up with!

Anyways here is the link: Witcher Tales: Curse of the Locklongs

Now before I have to thanks peachuu peachuu for making the code for me. I think it looks beautiful and you can really tell how big of a difference it makes compared to the other tabs in the thread. Thanks coco.

Tagging all who posted in the interest check.

I won’t be able to join. I’ve got too many things going next week, but I do wish you all luck. It sounds epic though!
