Niflheim. Recruiting (semi)literate RPers. ( Fantasy RP )
 

THE RP!!! http://www.menewsha.com/forum/commun...accepting.html

Okay, first time recruiting Role-Players and trying to get back into Role-Playing.
I have had this idea for a more free-roaming RP in a very open fantasy world.
The world self is called Niflheim, a corrupted world where the climates can go to the extremes. Niflheim can be divided into four ‘climate’ sections.

The North; An extremely cold tundra, it also possesses a large amount of mountains which take the shape of a mouth; often getting the nickname Hell’s Teeth. Between some mountains there are various small cities, the mountains contain a lot of minerals and gems so the cities always have a source of incoming. During the winter, the night temperature can go down to a minus 158 Fahrenheit. The northern regions are also known for the ferocious predators as sabre-toothed tigers and animals, which closely resemble mammoths.

The South; A fiery wasteland, dunes and hills as far as the eye can see. Underneath the white sand lay creatures like Salamanders and enormous worms. The houses and cities in which the people of the south live are made out of caravans, so that they could always move away during sandstorms or other conditions. Most ‘tribes’ have dialects, which make it hard for other people to understand them.

The East; Has a Mediterranean climate, and has various seas. Both science and architecture are the things in which the east stands out. The east is the most flourishing part of whole Niflheim, mostly because it also specializes in trading products with other parts of Niflheim. Between North and East there are large forests, in which some of the ‘darker’ and unknown creatures of Niflheim live.

The West; The true kingdom of Niflheim, a simple and a bit cold climate. Trees and flowers sprout from the green ground around the castles from various Lords and the King himself. This area contains many schools and libraries, magic and weaponry are often taught to younger children, both male and female.

The King rules Niflheim, but because it is a large world and many people are against the King’s rules; rebellion and anarchy are things which stand out in many cities. Many Lords which take taxes from cities and people in personal are corrupt, they only care about their own power and territory. One of these Lords is called Sammael, a young and incredibly smart man, who has control of a whole army. He also is a teacher at one of the most outstanding schools in Niflheim, a school which combines the art of dance, magic and weaponry into one single style, fully mastering it himself.

More information will come, when I know people are interested…
I’ll also bring up a list with Deities, Jobs ( This is á la Final Fantasy, things like Paladin, Ninja ), styles of magic and ‘important’ NPCs.

I don't have much rules for this RP, I'm not going to be strict about romance, gore, but I am going to be strict about godmodding, gary-sues and mary-sues.

^-^ Wow, never imagined someone would respond to this topic.
Lira, I'm sooo glad you're interested c: Now to hope, others are interested as well.

very interesting

I'd like to join :)

I'm interested. It'd get me out of my RP comfort zone, yet still have a familiar feel to it. :D

im also interested post it up and im sure to ask to join

Okay, awesome.
.w. People are freakin' interested.

Lemme put up the lists I promised;

Deities of Niflheim;

Amon; The Higher God, the First god of Niflheim, who controls the line between good and evil. He is both the Yin and the Yang, taking the appearance of an old man with a long grey beard when roaming the wastelands. His eyes are oddly coloured, his left being black and his right being white.

Yuma; The Goddess of Trinity, she represents the circle of life, birth, growing and dying. She takes the appearance of a young, brown haired female with a wasted behaviour, often finding herself talking about random things.

Nino; Son of the Aesthetics, the god of the ‘beauty’. He is the one who created beauty in arts like; poems, songs and plays. In Niflheim, he takes the appearance of a young man with long black hair and a porcelain coloured skin.

Bifon; Goddess of the Hunt, the goddess who guides both hunters and soldiers through their travels. When out of her own realm, she becomes a young female with red hair and a bow on her back; her arrows seem to appear out of nowhere.

Lynn; The Goddess of Beasts, the one goddess who gave birth to not only the animals, but also to several monsters which roam the land of Niflheim. She takes the appearance of a pregnant, elderly female with red eyes and blond hair.



List with Jobs/Classes/Whatever;

Physical ( Most common, because many Lords teach the males/females in their area how to fight in war );
- Monk, Monks are often trained in temples throughout Niflheim, they are experts in hand to hand combat and will use it to defeat their opponents with ease. In the past, Monks lived by a Code, but now, that stopped, because Niflheim began to wither under the reign of several Kings.

- Warrior/Fighter, Warriors or Fighters are trained in large armies by Lords of various castles; they fight for the good of their ‘master’. There are several, more advanced versions of this Job/Class. Warriors can and will carry a large amount of weapons at any time, being used in the many wars on the wastelands.

- Paladin; the Holy version of the common Warrior, wearing incredibly heavy armours. To defend themselves from undead they also carry large swords or other strong weapons. They channel White Magic through their body into their weapon, but can also use it to heal other people at a lesser level.

- Lancer; Lancers are Fighters, often carrying one or two spears or halberds. They are used as Special Forces to defend castles or fight on the frontline, their long range in physical combat gives them a great advantage in many battles. Their armour is light and flexible, because, when skilled enough they do not have to worry about people getting close in a fight.


Magical ( Less common, but a lot of people in Niflheim have a <b>specific</b>, magical power );
- Cleric; Clerics specialize in White Magic, using it to heal people. Many of them work in small hospitals, when extremely strong; some Clerics have the ability to turn their powers around. Instead of healing, they can hurt people to an immense level, without them dying.

- Shaman; Shamans specialize in Elemental Magic, weaker Shamans have the power to cast one Element; stronger can cast even three or more. Many Lords, keeping them behind for when it is necessary, use their powers in war.

- Druid; Druids specialize in the force of Nature self, this being the hardest power to handle in Niflheim, seeing that most nature is dying out rather quickly. They can make trees grow or wither, or even change the weather.



Important NPCs;

Solasol la Luna: The true King of Niflheim, an old man who usually sits in his throne and listens to his advisors. He is against war, yet thanks to the demonic nature of some other Lords; he has no option but to send out his army at times. He has long, silver hair and a silver beard with several ornaments in it, his eyes are deep and blue, on his face lays a simple, eternal smile. He wears a long white robe at all time; the clothes underneath it vary each day. Solasol is an expert with weaponry; even the strongest soldiers of his army would be defeated easily.

Morgain la Luna; the son of Solasol, his mother died after his birth. He is the lieutenant of his father’s army, fighting with a very unusual weapon. He possesses a scythe, from which the pole extends at his will, an old weapon from the La Luna family’s treasury. He is a calm and cold-blooded person, with a warm spot in his heart for music and nice voices. He has half-long, black hair that is usually combed in a wild way. He is long and has the same smile as his father, but the green eyes of his mother.

Edge of Sonata; Edge is the builder of the airship fleet from Solasol’s army. He is amazing at building vehicles, and weapons, which can reach a long range, guns and cannons. On the other hand, he also works for Sammael, but does not know about the man’s true intentions. He’s a young man, with long, wild, brown hair, he’s muscular for a person his age.

Sammael; The Demon, Sammael is the strongest Lord in whole Niflheim, almost surpassing King Solasol. He is part of the rarest race in Niflheim, Demonical. He is much stronger than the average person, much faster and far more intelligent. His long, wild, red hair and red eyes are his characteristics, together with his raven feathers with a wingspread of 5 metre.
---------------------------------------


Long list of useless information to be honest, but I love giving information. c:

Anyways, I'll also put up the Character Skeleton here! I'd love to have people post it here before I'm going to start the RP.

Name: ( Full name! )

Alias/Titles: ( Nicknames, titles for jobs, etcetera. Use your imagination! )

Age: ( Anything is fine to be honest )

Gender:... ( Duh )

Race: ( Human, Demon, Angelic Humanoid ( Angel Wings, Holy powers, etcetera. ), Vampires, Werewolves, almost anything to be honest. Just not Mythical Creature Humanoid Hybrids. )

Equipment: ( Weapons, armour, and so forth. )

Abilities: ( Magic, ONE specific kind of characteristic Power. For example; My character, Scorpius Valentino has a bloodline power. The ability to control roses, make them grow and much more. )

Appearance: ( ...I'd love to see pictures, I don't mind a description! )

Occupation: ( Jobs/Classes, Special Forces, etc. )

Bio: ( Where did the character grow up? How did his/her life go? )

Personality: ( Not much... Just a few lines is fine, I'd love to see it during the RP self )

Other: ( Any notes on your chara? )

on here? ok... heres my profile... btw is it alright for us to do wanderers? if not then ill change it, but...


Name: ( Naiaia Zaiannamai )

Alias/Titles: ( ianna mai(lady death), wandering warrior, night walker,// druid and warrior )

Age: ( looks like shes only 13 though in truth shes at least a hundred years old)

Gender:... ( female )

Race: (Vampire/elf )

Equipment: ( a concious sabersword that has control over the element of fire named Sapara Shamshir, a strapof fabric with twin sharpened metal tips on each end that i can use up to twenty feet, thin loose fabricthat doesnt restrict movement. boots that amplify my power.)

Abilities: ( bloodline magic, wave and weather mage. ill go into it more later in the story)

Appearance: ( me with my weapons )

Occupation: ( wandering warrior/druid)

Bio: Born with black hair and albaster skin she had a rare gene that caused her to be slightly different. Though bitten at a young (for elves) age it was this rare gene of hers that saved her life. The gene caused the virus itself to mutate as well as her giving her special traits and letting her keep her other traits. Unfortunately, she was kicked out from the clan, and forced to survive on her own because the elves could not stand the "abombination". Learning how to hunt, track, and fight, she soon became comfortable being a woodswoman. Her power helped her as well though at the time she didnt know it.

However, it wasnt going to last forever. At the age of fifty moons she was found by a scouting party with several experienced warriors. Taken in against her will, she had managed to kill a few of them as well as the escorting troops they had with them, before they had tied her and thrown her into the back of one of the supply wagons. It was there that she and her sword found each other. Forming a contract with it changed her; turning her hair purple and her eyes an even deeper shade of purple. When the troops took her to their sovern lord, Sammael's father, and presented her before him, she was forced to make a choice: learn to fight and help him, or die.

It was during the time there that I developed my sword play techniques; as well as picking up my second weapon. Soon, I earned my nickname, Lady Death, and was feared by all but the high deities themselves. Eventually, Sammael killed his father. I was just coming to visit and was the only one there to see this act. Unfortunately it was well known that me and Sammael did not get along (tried to kill each other constantly) so I knew that any tales I told about him would only earn him sympathy and me hatred, something I already had enough of. It was then I went to the druids to learn elemental magic. for this story I'm mostly searching for "the place in nature where time loses all meaning"

Personality: (quiet with a mysterious aura, she doesnt like to kill but can and will if she must. Often, moving at night, she leaves little trail but the fear of the shadows through the towns. She has a gentle heart that has been stained by killing and murder.)

Other: ( slow to anger, but explosive she is not one to displease. Since she still looks young, people constantly misjudge her until she fights.)

[sorry if i rambled guys i guess i got really into it^^']

xD Okay, uhm, you didn't have to copy the ( ) part, that was meant as an example Emiko. By the way, wanderers are just fine with me. c;
May I ask, would you mind taking more care of capitalization, punctuation and spelling of words? Okay, let me see the whole sign-up sheet.

The Sammael killing his father thing, I don't mind it, cause it actually fits with his cruel personality. On the other hand, Sammael is an uncaring bastard, who'd earlier kill someone than exile him/her for seeing that. Remember this, he's the big villain, the one who'd kill someone without any form of thought, at all. He cares even less about his own men, than about those who oppose him.

.3. Yeah, the first things I mentioned, the capitalization, punctuation, etc. Would you please look after that during the RP self? c: If so, I'm fine with you joining.

Sorry for the lateness of posting my profile. I was busy irl :sweat: You said Lord Sammael was a teacher right? Is it ok if my character was one of his students?

Name: Stephen Zmrazene

Alias/Titles: Lord Zmrazene

Age: 14

Gender: Male

Race: Angelic Humanoid [This is one race right? Not Angelic, Humanoid?]

Equipment: Giant sword and dragon motif armor

Abilities: His bloodline magic is control over ice but he prefers to use Holy magic since he is training to be a great Paladin.

Appearance: Stephen has red hair and brown eyes.

Occupation: Paladin

Bio: The son of Lord Glenn and Lady Sini Zmrazene, Stephen is next in line to rule his family's territory. As such, he was sent to the best school in all of Niflheim to learn everything a young lord should. Hailing from the North, his family owns many of the mines in Hell's Teeth and consequently holds sway over most of the cities there. While his mother is highly proficient in the Druidic and Shamanic arts of Ice, Stephen has taken the path of his father, and chose to be a paladin. Despite having a light-born heritage, Stephen doesn't seem to mind Lord Sammael's less than holy teachings.

Personality: Quiet, studious, reserved and level-headed

Other: While his mother cannot take the heat of the other countries, even complaining about the 'scorching' West, Stephen, like his father, is able to tolerate the warmer climates.

MintyRey accepted! c: A little short personality, but... Fine.
Angelic Humanoid is indeed a race self, they're like Angels, but not to the fullest. :P

Okay, more useless information! :D

In war, which happens often, many Lords and the King have a large amount of people willing to fight for their intentions. Most armies have their own characteristic things.

Solasol's army consists out of;
- Five groups of fourhundred men, each with one commander.
- One lieutenant, who commands the other commanders, he or she is in direct connection with the King.
- An airship, the Leviathan, with roughly fifty crew-members and the captain; Edge.
- Several smaller airships, 20 crew-members and a captain each.
- Execution Force, a group of roughly 25 men with incredible talents and powers. They were trained to take lethal blows and are about as strong as the groups of soldiers.

Sammael's army consist out of;
- An incredible amount of not organised soldiers, who are willing to fight for Sammael till their death.
- Tanks, these were made by Edge and are driven by simple, replaceable soldiers.
- Groups of Magicians, who are incredibly gifted in the Dark Arts.
- Ghouls, reanimated dead soldiers, who follow Sammael's will blindly. Sammael is even known to reanimate the soldiers of the opposing armies during wars themselves.
-------------------------------------------------------------------


Name: Scorpius Valentino

Alias/Titles: Former Member of Solasol’s Execution Force, Son of Kinase Valentino

Age: 21

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Equipment:
Roserada; An extremely long and heavy halberd, from which the blade is rough and even blunt on some spots. Scorpius uses it to disarm his opponents before impaling them with the sharp, wooden end of the weapon.
Leonelle; A long and thin rapier, which he often carries on his back, he’s able to wield both weapons at the same time.
Abilities:
Scorpius has the ability to make roses grow and wither, using them to entangle his opponents, or even choke them.

Appearance:
Scorpius is a young man in the bloom of his life, his long, wavy black hair reaches until his shoulders, when uncurled it reaches until his waist. His eyes are crimson red gems, which never sparkle. He stands about 6.3 feet high, towering above many other people he knows. His skin is almost porcelain coloured and without any form of scars, spots or anything. His lips tend to be curled up in an eternal smile; the lips have an unnatural, deep red colour.

His regular clothing consists out of a cotton, tuxedo with a tailback, which reaches until his heels. The buttons on the tuxedo are nicely shaped as roses, made of sterling silver (A silver rose is his family’s emblem). Underneath that, he wears a white, cotton blouse with detachable sleeves, so that he can also wear it as a vest. Finally yet importantly, he wears a pair of simple, long, black pants made from thick cotton, so that it is still warm in the winter. Of course, he also wears a pair of simple black shoes.

His armour is made of a thin chest piece, silver gauntlets and boots. All have several swirly black paintings on them, just as rose shaped ornaments.

Occupation: Merchant, Teacher at a school, War Tactician.

Bio:
Scorpius was born as the son of a wealthy Lord, not quite as strong as Sammael or Solasol, his father, Kinase, had a large area that he controlled. His father personally taught him how to fight and live as a ‘true’ man. With honour and manners. Scorpius served under Solasol for a few years during his travels through Niflheim, but was defeated during a duel and lost his prestigious position in Solasol’s Special Force.

He had a normal life, which he loved to keep that way. However, after he noticed more and more people’s interest in the Dark Arts were sparkled, he began to wonder why. He decided to travel further and find out why. His father regularly calls him with a message-hawk to get information on upcoming wars.

Personality:
Scorpius, thanks to the way he was raised gave him a common sense of manners and honour. He’s often very polite and willing to take a risk for those he cares about. On the other hand, he was trained as a warrior, and always will be more than just a simple soldier. He had an incredible talent for weaponry, and not a single bit of mercy during fights.

Other:
- Scorpius actually fears cats, their eyes are the gateways to other realms, and he has always been afraid of leaving Niflheim.
- When Scorpius is confronted with a strong enemy, he often duels him/her until the very end, even if that would cost his own life.

As he grew older, his skills grew as did his determination to serve. He worked odd jobs to earn enough reputation to go out on his own. During his researches he came upon a name, Sammael. He read into him and learned he had an army. Guma saw that this was a sign from Bifon.
