Welcome to the Castle! You have clicked because you want to possibly be a part of a good Fantasy RP. Well, you're in luck. The Castle is unique, in that there is no established GM. Well, there are, Shapsters and I... But we don't control the story. During different sections of this RP, a different player will take the reigns and control the story for that Chapter.

The Story
The central storyline of this RP will occasionally happen. However, it will most likely be side-tracked by the players GMing, so it will take a back-seat to things like creativity, individuality, and character interaction and development. This last bit is very important. Seeing as there will be little story to guide the characters, they need to rely on their own convictions and interactions with the world.
When there is story... It will be subtle, and will usually go unnoticed at first.

The Setting
Most of the stories will take place within or around the castle or nearby locales. Occasionally the map may get larger, if the current GM or story calls for it. The Castle is the governing building of the most populous city in the Nation. It's larger in population than the Capital City, and more frequently traveled to and from.

The Characters
These would be you, and Shapsters, and myself. This is the thread where you submit an audition character sheet. Not everyone will be accepted, but we hope that all of you put real effort into these so that we may have some good players.

Write up your character sheet and post it here. Remember, get creative with those characters.

Note: At the end of every story, we will usually give room for new players to join, and old players to leave, if they want. This will help keep the RP moving smoothly, getting rid of any stagnancy. Good luck!

I just want to add that there will obviously be a lot more coming from me and Mookie_Magnus, this is just a thread to promote some interest in the idea.

And put a lot of effort into your character and GMing idea, there will be quite a lot of quality control in this RP.

Thanks for your interest!

I'll try and throw a sheet up soon. Looks good.

I'm interested in this. :D

If I don't have my character sheet up by later today then I'll have it up by tomorrow morning.

Edit!

Name: Elena Burberry
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Hair: Mousy brown, matted, unkempt and un-cared for. Is usually tied back with a leather thong (piece of leather, you know)
Eyes: grey
Appearance: Short and plump, pale and dry skin, small nose and stern mouth, average sized ears
Clothes: Average blacksmith tunic, worn and dirty from hard work
Weapons/Equipment: Her trusty hammer with the chipped head.
Fighting Style: Heard of the head-shot? Elena likes to hit people who steal things in the head with her hammer. What results is never pleasant. Her size means that she's usually the human shield.
Character Bio: Elena took over the family business at 14 when her father died. A blacksmith by trade, she's not the kind to actively seek conflict, but it invariably ends up on her doorstep. She comes across as a matron-type figure, the kind of woman who reminds you of your mother when you got into trouble. But she is a caring person who only wants to live to see tomorrow
Other Info: Her aim in life is marry a Lord and wear a "fancy dress".

(Yeah, I edited.)

Dibs on spot making Character sheet

Edit:

The sheets are looking good so far people, remember to put lots of effort in and keep them coming!

Sorry for making the fighting style so long. I truly hope i can get in, it seems like it might be fun.

EDIT:

We'll need more sheets than this. Of course, I did post it rather late last night.

I'll join. :) Working on my sheet now. Just wondering whether to make a religious virtuous knight, or a cowardly thieving trickster... *Scrolls up to read, read, read*

By the way; is this a feudal society? Or is the nation united/with a monarchy?

Hmm, I'll stick a sheet up soon as I can, if it's not up tonight it shall be up tomorrow definitely.

Eh, what the hell, count me in.

Sheet will be up tomorrow.

count me in, it might be a while until i get the sheet up though.

Alright what the heck, i'll throw something up...

HERE I AM!

Name: Jessee Ylandeer.

Gender: Female.

Age: 24.

Hair: Shoulder length, dark brown and dirty. Looks like she hasn't had a bath for weeks.

Eyes: Faded light blue color, almost gives the impression that she's dead by her gaze.

Appearance: Not elegance at all, more like a hyper 18 year old who just discovered coffee. But over the years, she's learned how to control it, and it's less visible. When she's in combat 'mode' she usually doesn't stand at all, more like sneaking or sculking to not to draw too much attention to herself. Often spaces out from time to time, but snaps out of it by either a sudden sound, impact on her body or a unexpected touch.

Clothes: Tight very black leather armor. Gives her 90% movement capability due to it's reflex material. It's decorated by two bands around her waist, and another across her chest and back. Sort of like a bandoiler. Shoes are very thin and strapped to her trousers. On her left thigh she has a knife holster strapped around her leg.

Weapons/Equipment: A bow made from steel, but it's glancing beauty and decorative craftmanship indicate silver. Along with a small knife made from iron and a few arrows made from iron as well.

Fighting Style: Assassination, likes to take the enemy by surprise, either by distance with her bow, or up close with her knife.

Character Bio: Jessee was an orphan from the day she was born. Her mother died giving birth and her father had died long before that. She went from orphan home from orphan home until she reached 14. She picked up fighting skills from the streets and practiced at the local range with a bow she had made herself. Soon she started to make this a living, various people with vague interests and lots of money came to her and paid for her 'service'. She found herself short on money, so she took most jobs. After a few years of assassinating for blood money, she decided to go mellow and lay low until the bounty on her head dropped.

Other Info:Stone cold hearted killer and a wonderful assassin. But temper sometimes gets in the way. But once she feels trust within someone, she's usually kinder than usual.

Aqualung:

By the way; is this a feudal society? Or is the nation united/with a monarchy?

It's a semi-fuedal society underneath a main crown. More will be explained in the RP thread.

iceland'gamer:

Snip

No Dark Brotherhood assassins. This is not Oblivion.

:( Ok Ok! I'll edit it.. :(

EDITED! :D

When do we find out if we made it?

RareDevil:
When do we find out if we made it?

Not for a little while, we need sheets from people that have reserved and hopefully sheets from other people.

RareDevil:
When do we find out if we made it?

You'll find out when we announce who is in.

Cant wait :)

The sheet of mine:

Hope this be okay, arr.

Edit - changed my mind, count me out.

Name: Don Lee

Gender: Male

Hair: Long jet black hair tied back into a ponytail

Eyes: Dark brown eyes. They look almost black until you look closely.

Appearance: He is about 5'8" and build like a tank. He is has a broad chest and large arms. His legs can carry him for a couple of hours in his full equipment. He is a loyal companion and can carry his own weight in in battle. He has a large scar on his right cheek from an encounter he had with a group assassins.

Clothes He wears samurai armour (minus the helmet) and is ready or battle at any moment if need be. It is not as heavy as a full steel suit but doesn't give the movement capability of light armoured assassins he once faced.

Weapons/Equipment He has a samurai sword that can cut through a man in one swipe. It is quick, sharp, fast and deadly. He also carries a staff which was hand crafted and custom made by his father to suit him perfectly. IT also doubles as a walking stick. He also has a longbow and arrows. He never uses a shield but is faster than a solider in the emperor's army and is good at dodging. He has a horse named Darley who may not be the fastest steed but is smart and knows how to take care of itself when Don leaves it on it's own.

Fighting Style He is a full bred samurai and hates using a shield. He is very good with a bow and can hit a target with very precise accuracy. He uses a mix of martial arts and samurai training when in a battle. He is disciplined and can stay calm in most situations. Without his armour he is very fast and can dodge almost everything that comes at him from a regular solider.

Character Bio: He was born in a fairly large fishing village named Armany near the capitol where the emperor resides. His father was in the army and so was the rest of the men in his family. His father was married to a martial arts expert. Together they trained Don to be both a powerful samurai as well as a calm martial arts master. When he was old enough he enlisted in the emperor's guard where his training continued. He served his captain with great loyalty and was great friends with him. He did not personally like the way the emperor did things and neither did the rest of his team. Then one day don being fed up said to his captain they should leave. They can become great together with them and the rest of the team. He agreed and the rest of the team was informed. They all agreed and head off to a land that they heard about. That night they stole a boat, supplies and weapons and headed out. The emperor heard of this treason and sent a group of highly trained assassins after them. They caught up to them and Don managed to survive the attack, unfortunately his team was not so lucky. He arrived at a town soon after. There he got money by being in the fighting industry.

Other Info: He is a great cook and can survive in the wilderness with nothing but himself and his knowledge of survival

Edit: Think of him like Mitsurugi (how do you spell it?) and Kilik from Soul Caliber put together.

Edit: Oh nevermind it already started XD.

*cracks knuckles and neck* Let get me a sheet conjured up!

Due to the time period, I changed my story around slightly. He joined the Royal Calvary.

This is slightly significant because the Cav. were the first to use sabers, and used them while foot soldiers used broad swords.

It is just safe to assume that my character fought on horseback as a kid, but in his travels stuck to his comfortable blade on foot.

I do believe once I finish the essay I'm working on I'd like to post a sheet.

EDIT:

I sure hope that works out alright, and if not I'll happily change it. Also, if there isn't a space for him in the RP yet, I would be fine with waiting until such a time came that the party needed a happy-go-lucky paladin.

Argh! This looks really good, but I'm gonna have to pass up guys, gonna try focusing on my own RP. However, reserve me a spot on one of the future adventures! I'd love to join up later if I have the opportunity :D

I'll bite..
as long as I don't have to be a driving force personally to the story. I'll do my bit but I don't want to personally drive a chapter, if that's what you mean by Players GMing.

Oh and be forewarned that you'll need a bit of drive if I participate because for some reason unexplained by Science but nevertheless known to LordHarrab, RPs I join tend to die.

Sheet goes.... here:

I'll join!

I joined hair eyes appearance and clothes together, I hope you don't mind

and brilliant idea for an RP! I usually tend to GM anyway and get told off, so I should fit right in with this one!
