This is my first rp idea about fantasy. It will be similar to Bridge to Terabithia and The Chronicles of Narnia.

Imagination: is accepted as the innate ability and process to invent partial or complete personal realms within the mind from elements derived from sense perceptions of the shared world.

Children have in them, the most powerful imaginations in the world. Their own worlds which they play in and create with their own minds. Often just for fun, but sometimes...it's a place to escape reality. For one young girl, this is the truth. Her parents are going through a bitter divorce where she and her slightly older brother are caught in the middle, forced to choose sides. Enduring countless arguments and accusations from her parents as they scream at each other while the two children watch on, forgotten. At school, she is picked on and laughed at for being different. She spends much of her time reading fantasy books, imagining a life and a world better than her own. She yurns to escape, to be happy. One day, after an unerving event, she escapes to the woods, to an old oak tree. The young girl cries and cries. Having runaway from home she must begin again. In the woods, her young mind creates a new world, and for some reason this world comes to life. Anything she imagines, comes to life. A door appears in the oak tree and she steps forward, into a new world, a world of her dreams. A peaceful and serine world, filled with all sorts of creatures and inhabitants. Elves, gnomes, giants, griffins, any and every creature ever imagines. The young girl names this new world, Serenia. This new home has everything she ever wanted and lives a happy-carefree and adventerous life. However, she begins to miss her home, despite the torubles and leaves Serenia. She tells her brother of the new world and he refuses to believe it, but she convencies him to come. But something strange occurs once the two of them arrive. Legions of evil creatures emerge and begin to threaten this fantasy world. They must go on an epic quest to save Serenia and themselves before their new world and their olf life come crashing down. In their adventure they travel across an every expanding world running out of her control as "The Stranger" marshalls his forces to sweep across Serenia and beyond. This usurper somehow knows of the world of Earth and will do anything to conquer it as well. The children must confront their fears and internal demons as they face impossible odds in an epic quest to save Serenia and Earth itself.

Basically, it's a girl's overactive imagination gone wild and somehow creates a world. Someone else finds this world and also has the gift of imagination and creates the hordes of evil creatures bent on controlling the fantasy world and sets his eyes on the real world. The two siblings begin to search for answers and a way to stop him before it's too late. They meet other characters along the way. The world goes out of her control and takes on a life of it's own and she loses her abilities to manipulate and create and they fear that they will be trapped forever. There's plenty of magic that can be used as well.

This rp could be good, but I need help on this one. You can be just about anything in this rp. I'll rp the little girl just for the helluvit. Someone needs to be her brother and someone to be the mysterious stranger who invades her world. As well as other characters who come along the way. The girl's name is Andrea Shaw. This great usurper is labeled "The Stranger" He is believed to be from Andrea's realm and has a dark heart.

You can be:

Elves
Thieves
Barbarians
Gnomes
Goblins
Dark Lords
Dragon Riders
Mages
Beastmen
Trolls
Dwarves
Humans
Warriors
Knights
Anything you can think of

I am open to any suggestions that would make this a better experience.

Can i do Lord of the Rings style? ;)

In way yes, it is also similar to Lord of the Ring.

So would it be alright if i become a Goblin King?

Yes, it would be just fine.

Come on and sign-up today!

You can also become to leader of a kingdom within this world as well.

I'd like to play a Roman-esque like kingdom, if I may.

Sure, this world has enless possibilities with countless adventures and side-stories. I want to set this up to where it will be a series of rps. In this one, it basically builds up and sets the stage for an epic confrontation.

intresting. Can I be "The Stranger"?

i can play a prince in the kingdom

That sounds just fine. The girl's imagination runs rampid and begins to create on its' own, thus creating everything outside Serenia, that being other kingdoms, lands, and continents with diverse races and cultures.

Does anybody have ideas that could improve this rp? I'm open to ideas.

well can u me give the name of some kingdom and lil info about them or do u want me to make up my own kingdom

You can make up your own of course. The principle kingdom is Serenia, the one created by the girl.

So if we create our own Nation, must we come out our own Factbook?

You don't have to create a factbook, I'm not going to.

Also, I want to apologize for not being in your Company Rp. It's too far in depth already.

Hey Kulikovia, we should come out with our own forums for this, or it might get deleted.

Why would it get deleted?

It's a fantasy rp, it won't get deleted unless it becomes flame heaven or something.

Don't worry, I won't let it get deleted. This rp will survive and thrive.

It should be fine-it isn't alt-history, it's fantasy.

Mind if I run a mercenary-esque band in this "Serenia"?

That sounds good.

Come on and join people!

Don't we have enough people?

I suppose so...more can join up while we're playing if they want.

yea thats cool

Since she reads books, do you think I could be a literary person like Don Quixote or Baron Munchausen?

I see you've begun. Cue me here when you think I should come in.

I'm not sure where you can come in.

Khyzeria: Yes, that's a great idea!

I'm not sure where you can come in.

Khyzeria: Yes, that's a great idea!

OOC: Thanks, Kulikovia. I think I'm going to be Don Quixote/Sancho Panza. I'm thinking they could help Andrea if possible.

The more I think of your idea, the more I love it! I can't believe I didn't think of it before, that opens up the possibilities even greater than before!

hey, Kulikovia, about the IC thread. Unless this is all truely relevant to the story, can we get on with it? I mean, we all already know the basic storyline.

I am getting on with it. I was just setting it up.

Alright, she's in the Serenia now. You guys came come on in and start posting.

Can Don Quixote and Sancho Panza appear now? Or should I wait till she is farther into the land?

Since I am playing a different nation, when can I post?

Hey, I'm interested. I have a "younger-sibling" kingdom idea available. If not acceptable, I could be "The Stranger" unless it's been already taken. Here's my idea of it, tell me of your approval. BTW, I plan on mostly rping as the "People of Interest".

The Kingdom of Caemlea

Total Area
1,032,008 sq. miles

Population
2,019,000

Head of State and Government
King Arterian IV (http://www.berkshirehistory.com/villages/images/windsor_john.jpg)

Heir
Prince Roy (http://www.cristalab.com/images/anime/evangelion/shinji-1.jpg)

Government Type
Theocratic Monarchy

Official Religion
Church of the Divine Mind

Military
56,000

Allegiance
Serenia

The Kingdom of Caemlea was founded by a new faith that desired to have its own independence. It's founder was King Caem I, who envisioned the idea of a creative Goddess who was always dreaming of the world mortals live in. As a result, the Kingdom was born bordering with Serenia. They have been on friendly terms with each other since their founding. The King is the true ruler, though the way of rulership is heavily influenced by the Church of the Divine Mind.

The Church of the Divine Mind concentrates on the worship of an ever-thinking Goddess who they name Sonwe. They believe this Goddess thinks of the world that is lived in and continues to watch over her dream. What the Church one day hopes for is the coming of her human form who will banish evil from the hearts of humanity. The church is divided into many "Schools of Thought" that philosophize over the nature of the Goddess Sonwe.

Schools of Thought
Overhead Wisdom- Mostly reserved to the elite and founded by the Philosopher Martul. A school that focus's on viewing all other schools in hopes of finding the Unifying Underlaid Truth that unites the church.
Romantic Visions- Founded by the Woman Philosopher Seppanine. Says that once the mortal aspect of Sonwe appears, she will fall in love with a mortal to awaken her true powers.
Youthful World- Founded by the Philosopher Putair. Putair said that the world Serenia lives in is a young one and is reflected by the age of the Goddess. He says that if Sonwe appears in the world as a mortal, she will appear as a young girl who may not even know her true self.
Glorifed Coming- Oldest School founded by the Philosopher-Priest King Caem I himself. Shows the Goddess appearing before the world in a glorified way with many warriors following her to create the world anew.

New Kratna - You are welcome to join.

exelent i'll post rightaway :D

OOC: I will post in a later time as I can not right now.

You most certainly may join.
Thank you. My character:
Name: Alehkra
Race: Werewolf (Are they allowed?)
Side: Evil
Weapon: A katana specially modified to be twice the normal length.
Looks: He is about 6'5 in height, and weighs about 203 pounds. He has long red hair down to his back, and striking eyes of the same color. He is lean rather than buff.
History: He was an average werewolf, (meaning one mean bugger), but not exactly evil. That was until The Stranger came. The Stranger of course sent emmisarries to the Werewolf clans, and was not dissapointed, almost all of them joined the stranger, including Alehkra, whom was the Leader of one of the more vicious clans.

I'm The Stranger. I control you. Ha! I'll be posting soon. In the meantime, here's a bio of The Stanger:
Name: Unknown. Goes by the alias, "The Stranger."
Race: Human
Place of Birth: Unknown, possibly Earth
Side: Evil
Weapon: The full extent of The Strangers powers are unknown, but he is a master of magic, and is known to be a great swordsman and an excellent shot with a bow.
Looks: No one alive has gotten a look at The Strangers face. However, he seems to be tall, about 6,0, and his voice is deep and cold. He has a lean, fit figure. He wears a mask which looks exactly like a human skull, and this, combined with his long dark robes and mysterious powers, has convinced some that he is the Angel of Death.
History: Unknown, appears in Serina about 10 Serina years ago. Since his arrival he has only sought power, though not openly. He has contacted many peoples, among them Werewolves, Vampires, Giants and Orges, Evil Dragon Riders, The Black Monks, Trolls, Goblins, Orcs, Dark Elves, Mages and Sorcerers, Demons, and evil humans, to join him. Where he lives is unknown, even to his closest officers. He has a personal bodyguard and enforcer, a beautiful women named Sasha, who has killed many and is primely responsable for his doings. The Stranger has amassed an army, and only waits for the right time to unleash it...
I guess I'll begin the IC thread like it says in the opening OOC post, right after the girl brings her brother.

*Bows* Yes my master, kill kill!
(Sorry, could'nt help it)

nice

That Bio is nice and you know the evil dude always got to have a fine gurl around him.

LOL, too true. The only chick who's ever finer is the mandotory good girl, and shes usually cute, not hot.

Thank you. It's too true. She'll be playing a big role, mostly in trying to kill the girl and her brother until The Stranger takes a personal intrest.

yea that is true

So the Stranger won't actually do anything for a while? Nice, I get to be an unsupervised Werewolf.

i hope to see the stranger and the Prince in a big battle scene

I'm back. I'll be posting soon, but I'm thinking on having Don Quixote and his squire arrive later, simulating their journey from La Mancha to uncharted lands.

alright i think that cool cause the stranger will be arrive late too

yes, I'll be RP him but he won't actually do anything except give commands for a while. Right now there's a little fight going on and Sasha is joining in. BTW:
Sasha has long red hair, light green eyes, carries a katana sword, several shurikens, and some knives. She can also use a wide range of magic. She wears tight fitting black robes that do not hinder her in combat. If in combat she sometimes discards this for fighting in a underwear-like clothing, except it is armored (can block arrows and light sword thrusts) which is brown.

I have Don Quixote in Serenia now, but he's just crossed the border. I'm planning on just having him explore for a while for now.

alright

The rp is going great! Everyone's participating and it's quite well done!

Oh yeah, the capital of Serenia is Ravera, just for your knowledge.

Basically in this rp, Andrea travels to Ravera and meets the High Queen of Serenia where she reveals that Andrea is The Creator, a fabeled figure who created Serenia and the whole realm. It is prophesized that a great usurper will try and take over the realm and that The Creator is the only one who can stop this usurper. There will be a banquet in the Castle and afterwards, the minions of The Stranger will attempt to kill Andrea but are thwarted and end up capturing the Queen instead. Now, Serenia will be leaderless, the queen's daughter asks that Andrea and her company go and save the Queen, believeing that Andrea as The Creator has unrivaled power and can save her. They set out on a quest to save the Queen while The Stranger marshalls his forces, gathering them for a grand sweep across the realms. During the quest, a sorcerer who secretly is in allegiance with the evil side shows her a door back to her world and Andrea eagerly takes it, leaving her company of travelers. They must go on without her. Back in the real world she grabs her brother and convinces him to come with her. They return but someone else came through the portal as well and is tied to the evil side. They return to the party of travelers who are struggling on the quest. I won't reveal how the rp will end but just to let you all know. If this one is successful, then I will make up another rp that continues this one.

I hope that little bit of backround info helps out in understanding what will happen.

OOC: Kulikovia, I'm thinking on sending in other knights, it's just a thought.

That's just fine.

Oh yeah, in my last post on the IC thread I mentioned a person called The Guardian. The Guardian is the sworn protector of Serenia and captain of the armies and deals with everything that involves the safety of Serenia and it's people. Currently, the Guardian is an aging knight named Titus Vallen, a skilled commander.

*in The Stranger's voice* "He will be destroyed! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!"
lol

...sorry

Im need somebody to take the prince to Ravera so he present the treaty the queen or will the whole party travel there

Lord Reynor and his cavalrymen can take him to Ravera, along the way they can meet Andrea.

Alright that work,were the location at

I don't have a map but can make up something while we post. Right now, Andrea is just a few miles from the village, overlooking it.

alright i just post i said they were traveling down one of the traderoads and they came across the knights

http://mormegil.unas.cz/svitky/01/byzanc/e.jpg
http://mormegil.unas.cz/svitky/01/byzanc/f.jpg

These are some examples of Serenian soldiers that I'm going to use in the rp. I took it from Byzantium pictures on the net.

Yea I thought there were blue

The Empire's color are Red and white with A Black Hawk in the middle

Also here are the Forces of The Empire


* Cavalry


The Cavalry of The Empire is among the best in the world, at the forefront are the knights and Their orders, well equipped, well armoured Heavy cavalry equipped primarily with lances. The Empire also maintains light cavalry in the form of the Light Cavalry corps, primarily equipped with Spears and Swords, although some units of specialised outriders who act as scouts are equipped with much more potent weapons.

* Infantry

The Empire has a wide variety of infantry and maintains the one of the only standing professional army in the World. This army can call upon units of state troops or Regulars. The state troop units include Spearmen, Halberdiers, Swordsmens, crossbowmen into their armies. They can also include a variety of Militia units such as free companies, archers and hunters . Notably the armies of the Empire sometimes make use of Mercenaries.

The Empire Also Allows Other races to have a Army of purely Comprised of The Race,They can ether Fighted Independently of The Imperial Main Fighting forces or come together


The Elven Armies

The Wood Elven Army

The Wood Elves of Athel Loren are mysterious and secretive beings, rarely seen beyond their forest borders. Those foolish enough to set foot within their woodland realm, invite the fury of the Wood Elves and their Forest Spirit allies, whether in open combat or through sudden ambush.

War is an important part of the Wood Elven life. Because the forest the elves live in is surrounded by threats from Goblins,Werewolves,orges, all elves, male and female, learn the art of war. The longbow is a critical part of the wood elf arsenal- essentially every elf in an army is equipped with a long bow. The wood elves are also notorious among worlds for being the most lethal archers in the entire world .Unparalleled archers and almost unnaturally stealthy, the Wood Elves are a deadly foe to face. Those that they slay will rarely have even glimpsed their enemy before being struck down by unerringly accurate arrows from the dense woods. Swift and silent, the Wood Elves erupt from the trees in sudden bursts of savagery, cutting down their enemies ruthlessly before vanishing like ghosts into the depths of the forest.

A Wood Elven army is made of two major groups: Elven soldiers, and the forest itself. 'Forest Spirits' can-and will be awakened in a time of need to fight for the well-being of the forest. They can also include 'Spites'- the lowest form of spirits Athel Loren has to offer.


The High Elves

he majority of warriors in the armies of the Asur(A High elf Province in The Empire) are citizen militia rather than professional soldiers. This militia is a form of part-time army in which all take their turn to serve, every Elf providing his own wargear in defence of his home and his country. When he is inducted into the citizen levy, a keen-eyed Elf will begin his training in the ranks of archers. Lacking the battle experience of his older brethren, he fights from a distance - experiencing the carnage of war from a relatively safe place.

As his familiarity with the horrors of war grow, he will eventually be promoted to the rank of spearman. This is the senior arm of the militia, and is expected to fight bravely in the main line of battle. With the decades of battle experience behind him, an Elf can don the famous armour of a spearman and join his fellow Elves in the rigorous training needed to fight efficiently as one body with one mind.

Dwarfs

The Dwarfs are the most tenacious and determined warriors of the world. Their mountain holds are under constant pressure from Orcs, Goblins so they must frequently march out to defend their homes and hoards. Even in defeat they record and remember every affront and will miss no opportunity to settle their grudges with the edge of an axe.

Are you still accepting players? I'm intrigued by the idea and thought I might join.

I think that rather than play a kingdom or polity of some sort, I will opt to play a pair of ogres. Rather than be evil, maybe they can me the comic foils in the story. They might somehow run into Andrea, she might do something kind for them and they decide to accompany her on her journey.

The two ogres would be:

Rurokk Bonesnapper 9'6" tall. 475 pounds. Considered the more intelligent of the two tribe mates that have decided to see the world. Not evil or even cruel. Just very curious. A rarity among ogres. Truth be told, Rurokk was banished from his tribe for being too "forward" thinking (for an ogre anyway).

Morgh the Befuddled 9'11" tall. 490 pounds. As dim as he is tall. Clearly the muscle of the outfit. Followed Rurokk when he was banished simply because it seemed like a good thing to do at the time. Capable of great violence when agitated. Generally peaceable.

OCC:yea he's still accepting players

yea i like your idea or They Could be use as Mercenaries but i like your first Idea HFT

Sure, you can join.

yea True dat

Cool. This story needs a little comic relief.

OOC: I may bring in another character, if possible. It may be a famous knight (like I asked Kulikovia about before), or a mercenary.

Sure you can have another character.

Alright, it's time to get the story moving. The action is nice but enemies are coming out of nowhere and I want to get this rolling.

Name: Faistian Maron (Face-TEE-un) (Ma-RON)
Age: 39
Race: Human
Birthplace: Unknown (Likely an undisclosed island in the middle of the sea
Archetype: Elemental Wizard (Bends the elements to his will. Pending approval)
Physical Description: Faistian is a rather tall fellow with little muscular strength. Faistian is widely considered underweight by the few that he knows. While his ribs don't show, his face is slightly hollowed out. Faistian's pale skin makes him look rather like an undead lord. Faistian has dark brown eyes. They beam with intelligence. The eyes hold years of knowledge and hundreds of years of experiance. The age-old experiance was learned through books telling of ancient, forbidden magicka that he decided must be harvested. He is usually found clad in black robes, with silver runes lining the etching of the rune's hood. His hand's are wrinkled and old-looking. The staff in which he carries is a long wooden pole with a gold-etched dragon on it. The eyes of the dragon are made of intense rubies. The mouth of the dragon remains closed when spells and hostile beings are not near.
Equipment: Black robes, Staff of Jalusk
Skills: Power of Elemental Magics
Relations: Mostly bad with everyone.

Bio:

It was dawn, the sun flew into the sky with vigor like a lion chasing out the midnight sky. Few knew the location of the isle that held the lush green forests, the untamed wild. Noone knew of the small human settlement on the island. The humans of the villiage of Gavon lived in a peaceful, humble, loving state of existance. Armies from the two continents had not plauged the thus-far uncharted island in the middle of the eastern ocean. The land was fertile and could house a population into the thousands should it ever get that far, despite it's size.

Inside Gavon, a young woman and a young man lay next to each other in a small hut. The two had been wed earlier in the year. They desired a child who they could nurture and behold. Someone who could one day be a leader, and grant them a diplomatic seat on the mainland. This was not to be. Gavon had been steadily increasing it's population for several years. No one know how or why, but as the population continued to increase a demon Pitlord made it's way to the island. The island was peaceful, war could not reign on the island from the human inhabitants, sure they had their differences, but blood-shed never occured. The Pitlord knew to buy his time and await for the humans to give in to their petty squabbles.

The young woman, Tamriela, had a father who was none to please with her marrying the young man, Arthur. The solution to the father was simple: Kill Tamriela's husband and kill the child in her womb. He wanted no foreign blood in his line. His plan was to be set into action on the night of the birth of the child, but Arthur recieved word of his action. He took Tamriela away to a remarkably safe cave. No one could disturb the couple as the child would be born. In Gavon, Tamriela's father's men lined their hut eventually knocking it down, when they didn't recive and answer, and storming the hut finding no one. The father labled them traitors and would never allow them to return to the town. He also declared that he had no daughter.

The child was born..or was it a child? The baby was very pale-skinned in comparison to his mother and father. His hair brown, his mother's blonde. His eye's a brown beaming with intense knowledge even then. The truth was the baby scared his parents. They loved him regardless, however and they gave him his name as 'Faistian'. The boy was not destined to have a happy child hood. Gavonian citizens woulden't even contact Tamriela or Arthur, so food was a problem for all members of the household. Even in his later days Faistian would not forget the hunger that engulfed him or the cruel suffering that he was forced to endure because of the greed and cruel self-worth of one man, one leader. He vowed revenge to his supposed 'grandfather'. Even through these hard times his parents never failed to show him love. That is when he decided that as a human, many peculierties occured. Some to be embraced and cherished and some to be killed and destroyed.

It was when the boy was only 14, that terror struck the island. The Pitlord had returned with 4,000 demons. The township was stricken when they heard this news. The whole town was up in arms over 'a whole legion of demons?' Noone could even begin to comprehend what should be done about the demons on the island. Arthur returned to Gavon and pledged to fight. As did Tamriela. Their choice, though noble, would cost them their lives.

It was not an hour after they had pledged loyalty to the city that the demon army arrived. The fierce charred black skin, ferocious ivory claws, and hair with snakes coming off the back of it. Their eyes were red, without pupils and they distilled a dread horror in all the humans in the village that they were cut down like dogs. The demons didn't even colonize the island. After the village was pillaged and burned, they returned to their domains. Far into the nether reachs of the world.

Faistian was alone in the world now. He had to survive. It was cold and fruitless work. Eating sweet onions on the only good spring left on the island. The only one not touched by the corrupting presence of a demon. It was during a dream one night that he learned that he posessed the gift. He dreamed of a demon lord coming alone to the island in order to open a plane to the nether and call forth an army to destroy the world. Faistian was 15 now. He began calling on the forces of fire, ice, lightning, plasma, and darkness in order to fuel his power. He was a mage of elemental prowess. He could call fire, water, thunder from the skies, ground, out of thin air to destroy his opponents. He dreamed of revenge on the demon lord, but not of the curse bestowed upon him by the demon lord.

The day started out like most other days. Faistian went to get some water, find some sweet onions, which he was severly tired of, and train his magical energies. On the other side of the island, a mavolent presence made itself known. A being far more powerful than any of the demons to ever set foot on the island came forward, and decided that the ruins of Gavon would be the best place to set up a gate to the nether to call forth his army to conquer the known world.

Faistian could feel the demon. He knew the demon. The Pitlord from those years ago had absorbed his followers and had become one of the most powerful beings in the entire world, defeating him would be impossible. But trapping him would not be. Faistian took out a colorless diamond and set off toward the old ruins of Gavon. He had not been there since he had discovered the charred bodies of his parents. He had little desire to return. The demon woulden't be looking for him, so it would be easy to trap him and crush the stone, killing him. Faistian never expected that the demon knew he was here.

As Faistian waded his way through the debries of the old town, the demon who was facing forward simply stated "You have come to kill me." The demon smiled compansionatly as he turned around "I am no match for you my young friend. I have been yearning for death after I left this isle those years ago. I was exiled and hunted down like an animal. I had hoped you were still alive." He looked towards the diamond "A rare speciman, that could kill me outright." The demon gave Faistian a look of remourse "Kill me, and you will learn the history of the world 2,000 years in the making. You will experiance war, triumph, victory, defeat. Your mind for years and years will be a wreck. You will not need food or water. Just the years to endure. In this gift--which is also a curse you may find out how to wield the ancient magics. You will be strong enough to challenge whole kingdoms, empires! Now I go willingly into the gem." The gem glowed black, and then red and the demon entered the gem. Faistian simply crushed it.

"It was a mistake!" Faistian raged. Holding his head in between his knees history and locations and dragsons big and small entered his mind. In this a staff appeared The demon lord's Jalusk had his staff and gave it to Faistian. My child this will relieve the pain for a while. For now I shall send you into a self-induced coma where you can train your magicka to adapt to the world outside the island. Upon your awakening out of the coma you will be in the Kingdom of Aquria on the main-land. Their capital city infact. That is where you shall first begin your mark on history. Sleep now, my son. Sleep.


NOTE: I am using this character on another rp. I am interested in bringing out ALL of the advantages and disadvantages of him.

Any powerscale? And I don't expect any of us to start out as uber-powerful.

Are you evil, good, or undecided?

Undecided. Nuetral, really. My character furthers his own interests.

Yea on that powerscale,Like Their are Two Princes and Queen so they command a Army and The Stranger is evil person making a army.It Probably want be a large as the other but he makes up for with his magic level.I really would call them uber-powerful.Beacause with the stranger The werewolves are sort of Rebelious and The Mercnaires They hired really dont have personal reason to fight except for money

OOC: Here is a bio for my possible other character. Also, is it possible to switch Don Quixote with Amadis de Gaul, one of D.Q's influences?

Name: Galbatorix of Alagaësia
Age: Unknown
Height: 6'2
Weight: 150
Position: Emperor of Alagaësia

Bio:
Galbatorix of Alagaësia is the current Emperor of Alagaësia, a nation that has been Serenia's rival for years. Galbatorix has just recently been coronated, as his father recently passed away, and as heir, he was to be the next monarch.

Galbatorix's plan is to conquer Serenia and annex it to Alagaësia (this can be exploited by Sasha/The Stranger). Galbatorix has not begun attacking Serenia, but he is considering an invasion of his neighbor as well as "other options".

He has also heard about the Sonwe legend and plans to force Serenia to accept his demands by capturing her. His spies operate in Serenia, trying to find out the Sonwe's identity, their job after doing so is to bring her to Alagaësia.

Undecided. Nuetral, really. My character furthers his own interests.

Your character is good. During the rp followers of The Stranger could promise your character something in return for taking Andrea back to her realm. But they could end up betraying you or something.

I might be willing to pay you for that, Carloginias...and act as a middle man of sorts. Add some spice, at least.

I am very confused at the moment. I have tried reading the rp but it bounces around so much, I can't get a reading on what has happened. Would anyone mind giving me a quick summary?

I am trying to catch up myself. But the party was attacked at the village and is moving to the Fortress. There's a bunch of alliances betweeen the dark forces being made and I'm confused myself.

I see...well, does anyone know what is going on and can give a summary?

KuLiokva could you give me the link to the IC thread, spent a few days looking for it and i can't find it :( and im sure to miss out alot.

I get overwhelmed myself as well. I work long hours and can only get on once a day and there's always two more pages from when I was last on.

Oh my god LoL! The last time i posted was page 5 and now its page 12 :eek:... guys slow down lol.

Um, actually not much of real signifigance has happened, except the Stranger has employed a merc group to kill prince Iven, and has made an allinace with Galabatorix...yeah. Not much else, aside from a few new players...

So, I am basically free to do as I please with my post...within reason?

Within reason, yes.

Of course, if he stays put in his pretty little fortress, I'll never get to him [/grumble]

If that happens, I'll just join sides with the evil dudes for the climactic battles and contribute with my forces to bad stuff.

OOC: Did you want to perhaps attack Galbatorix? From your post, it seems like you want to.

Huh? I had my second-in-command assassinate the leader in my recent post. Galbatorix I thought was on the Stranger's side-which would technically make him one of my friendlies.

OOC: Galbatorix is with the Stranger, they both seek to destroy Serenia.

Than you and I are on the same side. The Crimson Suns are looking to carve out their own little legacy-agaisnt their usual antagonists, Serenia (where all the goody-goody "do what's right" people live).

Well, seeing as you're marching off to battle, I'll be contributing forces. You could meet with Kinrath as my own forces hook up with yours on the way to Serenia. My intel could have figured your loyalty (I mean, that wouldn't be hard), and then went "Oh, there's our break to kill those freaks in Serenia!"

OOC: Sure, if you want, you can post Kinrath's army noticing the advancing soldiers of Pharazon. They could discuss plans. Also, I am just preparing my army for a possible battle, if there is to be one.

I believe so. If not, I suppose the bad guys can always force one.

I asked in the IC thread on my just-posted post if there were any outlying towns and villagesof Serenia. If so, the bad side could avoid attacking Serenia right off the bat if the good guys didn't want to directly go to war, and instead rape and pillage and the usual good things.

I have read your post, it could be a opportunity to test the naptha/gunpowder and yes, they can force a battle to occur or wait for the battle while pillaging and looting border towns, villages, etc.

Well, Serenia stands alone at the moment. The rpinces are on their way to make alliances with Serenia. The elves and gnomes, the two other free races have not made their intentions to form an alliance known. The armies of Serenia are small, I haven't made any figures yet though.

Raids sound like a good idea. It will scare the people of Serenia and the leadership.

OOC: I think I will start raiding then.

Okay, just don't make them any HUGE numbers.

Man, I'm so freckin bored. There's nothing for me to do. I'm not supposed to attack until the second thread, so now I've got nothing to do.
