A bustle in your hedgerow

RIGHT, an RPG!

Felt like doing this for a while, I€™m actually doing it now.

First and foremost, my aim is to create a fun story with you people, not to host a stat based game, nor will any single player €œwin€. I€™m hoping that this disclaimer will keep everyone from abusing loopholes that I undoubtedly left in my character requirements to create grotesquely overpowered characters.

The setting!

Think fantasy. The RPG will be set on an alternative Earth in the year 2039. All the same continents and countries will exist (plus maybe some fictional places ), humans will very much exist, but so will roughly any fantasy themed creature or thing you might imagine. As well as magic. Just consider the industrial evolution never took place, and magic was the primary force putting the world where it is now, with equivalents of such things as cars, internet and what not being around. In the end, it wont be all THAT different, lol.

6 Individuals from around the globe have gotten a letter asking for help with a mysterious situation. All 6 are willing to help. You will be those 6. The story will start as you lot are escorted to the mysterious place where you are needed€¦

Not unlike the Oddestsey, your characters can ask questions, decide on actions, and I will glue it together with story updates and sometimes intriguing, sometimes humorous plot twists.

Looking for 6 people to enter 1 character each, almost everything with some fantasy pedigree is welcome, but I won€™t be happy with big monsters of sorts. Really think of what would help you through the RPG (which will be more, much more than just combat) and think of what would contribute to a fun story . Your description can be as elaborate as you want.

What I need€¦

Name: Well, duh
Species: As said, think fantasy. Humans, elves, dwarves, gnomes, anthropomorphisms, the lot.
Looks: Physique as well as clothes. If your clothes have significant functions beyond the usual €œkeeping you warm and looking fashionable€, I suggest you count them as your inventory .
Personality: The chief importance of this lays in the fact that in my updates I will be RP€™ing as YOUR character every so often. Will not have them make major decisions, but I will be put words in their mouth or have them perform minor actions.
Back-story: Again, be as elaborate as you want, but do tell roughly what occurred in your character€™s life prior to all of this, and where you are from (which must be Earth, lol).
Inventory: The letters clearly said to bring no more than five of your personal items along that you may find useful to carry with you . Once more, think Fantasy rather than Sci-Fi. And stay within reasonable power levels.
Abilities: Put down your physical or non-physical skills that should be considered €œsuperhuman€ here, be it acquired through the species you are from, or from somewhere in your back-story. For magic users I€™d like you to specify a field of magic (elementalism, bardism, et cetera) or maybe a certain superpower acquired through magic (telekinesis, et cetera) or maybe just a single powerful spell. As a rule of thumb€¦be reasonable .
Skills: Put down your skills that would be considered €œhuman€ (even if you yourself aren€™t ). Apply reasonable limits and make them true to your back-story.

Reserved spaces will only stay reserved for 7 days. If at any point after the RPG started (with its 6 entrants) you feel like playing along, do PM me and I will make you into a cameo of undefined magnitude. Alternatively if there are players willing to become inactive, such latecomers can replace them altogether if both parties agree.
