Sooo...
I'm thinking about starting one in the rp forum.
Would people be interested?

If so, you can put your character information in our board in "Other Fiction."
OOC questions can be asked in this forum, or feel fee to message me directly.

Rules
1- If you do not post at least once within a seven day period (that's a whole week) then the rest of us will assume your character gave up on the mission and went home. IF you have a really good reason for it, you will be allowed to rejoin, but only once. If it happens a second time, I'm sorry, but you're out.
2- No one line post. You WILL have a minimum of four sentences in your posts, and they will be real sentences. Not optional. I'd like to see more than that in a post, but sometimes it just isn't happening, but even with bad writer's block you can get out four sentences. I've done at least that much just explaining this rule. So you can do it in a post. This is about the only rule I am a real stickler on. It is something I insist on. If you don't do it... well... things happen in Sylestia. Maybe your character will be eaten by a pack of rabid Sylvorpas.
3-You will have decent grammar, and spelling. There will be no chatspeak, no omg ttyl. I don't care if you do that in the ooc section, just don't do it in the actual storyline.
4- Post your character sheet here, but not until you've read the plot and character guidelines.

Story Plot
I am thinking that somehow my character has got her hands on a treasure map, that says there is a ton of treasure in the mountains in the far northeast of Sylestia. Gold? Gems? Weapons of untold power? Maybe all this and more. She will try to get a group of adventurers to go with her. The group will have adventures on the way; getting to know one another, fighting the same kinds of enemies as we do in the game, dealing with weather and typical adventurer stuff. Once we get to the mountain, part 2 of the plot will begin, but I'll save that for if people actually get into it.
The adventure is the journey; expect the first step of the plot to take a little while. Its not going to be a journey of three days and they are there, this is supposed to be a hard, long trip. Otherwise someone else would have found the treasure by now, wouldn't they?

Character Creation: things to think about before applying
Races
We are accepting ONLY canon, in-game races in Sylestia. To be a playable race, you must (a) be able to dress as it, (b) have a conversation with someone of that race somewhere in the game, (c) it must not be an exclusively 'bad guy' race.

For example...
There are elf bandits, but there are good elves too; they have diversity, they are a playable race and not just a villain.
Dark Elves are villains; but we have not yet seen any good guy dark elves. They do not have diversity and therefore are not a playable race.
There are human witches, warlocks, and evil kings; but there are many good humans too. There is diversity, and so they are a playable race.
Trolls talk (well enough to describe rage and despair over the murder of a loved one,) but you cannot dress as one, nor are they ever actually good guys; so no trolls.
There are zombie fairies and bad fairies; (you can tell the zombie fairies by the ears, even though their wings have disintigrated) and of course, Jinxie and Jaxle and Miri show us good ones; so they are a playable race.
You can dress as a mermaid, but we do not talk to one, nor do we ever have a mermaid ally. So no mermaids (yet?)
I hope that makes things clear. If you have a question about this, feel free to message me.

Jobs
Careers should be within Sylestia canon; a breeder, catcher, or a trainer, or maybe a guard for Esior's Haven. Even a reformed bandit; a potion maker, or armor blacksmith, or forger of relics. Mushroom farmer from Fungus Grove . Herbalist. Seamstress. Weaponsmith. Maker of Sylestie Chow, every Sylestie's favorite kibble treat. Qitari racer. Anything, really; as long as it sounds like someone or something you'd find in Sylestia.
Car mechanic? Computer technician? Not so much.

Pets
You'd be allowed to bring up to 3 pets with you, but if you have 3, you can't catch any during the rp, unless you send one home. You do not have to have 3 with you; you can have just 1 or 2 if you prefer. They would have to be pets you actually have. They do not talk; they're pets. However... they can high five you, and face palm, and as long as its nonverbal communication, go for it. They're pets of (sometimes) very high intelligence after all. Think of the way pokemon communicate in the cartoon. Limited verbally but practically human non-verbally.

Character Backstory
No one is the main character. We're all background characters. What I mean is, none of us is the person described in the Sylestia plot, the one who's Jinxie's bff who saved Esior's Haven and went on quests as a personal favor to Lady Sarielle, etc.. However, your character could have pets that do missions for the guard, and most certainly has fought bandits. (unless you ARE a bandit, of course.) You might have met Lady Sarielle, if you were an elf; maybe you're one of her guard. Maybe you're a farmer or a wandering salesperson.

Magic
I am hoping people will be responsible with this. For such a magical place, we don't see much in the way of magic; magical healers are very rare, so that in an entire town you only find one, and sometimes go for long journeys without even seeing one. So we will accept ONE person with this ability. Other magics, like mages, don't seem to be the run of the mill thing either. If you want to be a mage with decent powers, you will kind of have to have an extra amazing character sheet since the possibility to abuse that kind of power is so big.

@Starfall
Half Nixi, half human? Sure! Like the whole drinking the essences thing.. maybe that gets passed down from generation to generation. I mean, it makes sense, you're kind of drinking a bottle full of DNA and genes and stuff, so why wouldn't it? Butterfly wings are completely acceptable. I mean, Nixis have those pretty moth wings, or maybe they're from a fairy ancestor, or somone drank a bulbori elixer and got butterfly wings out of it. Maybe she doesn't know; but it still totally fits. So All totally doable!

And since you went through the trouble of making a character... I take it this means you are in! XD
I'll work on making a forum for it. Woohoo!

@Cranberry, Thanks~! >w< By the way, how many people do we need? OuO

However many people want to join. It might end up being just us to start, but people can join in at any point. We would be following a main road in the rp, so it is understandable that we might run into other adventurers.

OUO I can't wait! XD When'll we start then~?

Yep! I'll make a forum post.
I'd have it up already but I got distracted with making a new Vulnyx mutation.
Which is happening! WOO HOO!

So, that is my next project, to get the rp started.
I am thinking we should hang out in Esior's haven for a couple days real time to give people a chance to jump in; and then we'll start the journey! We can have it that we're getting supplies and stuff. I'd kind of like to take it slow, to give people a chance from all different time zones a chance to join in and post if they want. There's nothing I hate worse; finding a great rp, joining in, having to to bed and work, and then coming home to find out that the rp progressed a week and a half while I was gone before I got a chance to post because of different time zones.

Sure :3 Btw, I haven't seen your charry yet >.<

lol-
No, you haven't.
I didn't ask for a character application; just put out some guidelines for when people make their character.
I usually prefer to let people reveal stuff through rp. ^^

But!

You did give me yours. And fair is fair.

Name: Chrysalisa Cranberry, usually just goes by her last name unless with family.
Age: Adult
Race: Fairy
Job: Potion Maker/Apothecary
Backstory: The Cranberry family has been a supplier of potions to Esior's Haven for generations, and more recently, the Sanctuary of Sarielle. They live in Fungus Grove in houses made of mushrooms, and usually work together in a big mushroom workshop that currently belongs to Cranston Cranberry, Chrysalisa's great-grandfather. She also loves Vulnyxes, and is a part time trainer/breeder. When she is not working at making potions, she's off training them and adventuring with them. While she dabbles in breeding, she has much more success with training; her vulnyxes are well known for being strong and clever. Her prize Vulnyx, Solstice, is always at her side. They have a strong bond; and Cranberry almost never flies so that she won't leave him behind.

Yayyyyy *Claps repeatedly* Good job OUO
