Heritage (OOC)
So it's been a long while since I did one of those RPG-things and, since I'm awful at leading, I decided to do a collaboration with keksimaton.
The story in short: Two brothers come upon a map their father got from his many adventures and they believe it leads to a treasure which includes money and powerful artifacts. The map goes a very long way through many perils and exotic monsters. The brothers decide to recruit some adventurers in a tavern. They need people with knowledge of the arcane, survivalists, people good at fighting and they'll take on anyone else willing to join.
Please, do remember that all there is to go on for this chase is the map and the bad reputation that the older brother has gotten in this small town. (so Sylveana the legendary, elven dragon warrior of the Crystal Moon probably wouldn't be interested in this quest or even in the village for that matter, unless Sylveana likes to do these things for the lulz.)
World: We start in pre-dominantly human lands. There is magic, There is late medieval technology, so full plate and flintlocks with poor accuracy and just impossible reliability. This world is a rough draft and you are free to add institutions and other nations and races in order to create your character. Currently, we're vague about the exact geography.
Rules:
1) You have full control over your character at all times. You can't control other characters, unless agreed upon via OOC or HCM (constructing dialogues via msn or HCM is also a neat little tool, FYI.) I'll control most NPC's, unless the NPC's are part of a subplot you created.
2) Create any character of any class, race, sex, age, you like. I will restrict power levels, when it's getting ridiculous, but not before then. (Remember, it's not about winning. It's about creating a good story) Think about the role you can play in the story and focus on creating a character you find interesting and that you like.
3) Just use some common sense and everything will be fine. If you're insecure, just send me an HCM. ![](images/smilies/smile.gif)
4) Be prepared to be contacted by me a lot. Not necessarily urging you to post, but talk about your character and directions you're going etc.
All right, who is interested?

Dagoth, my man! Good to see you back on the Glade. I'll have you know that I am interested, but as I said earlier, I ain't in the clear before after Tuesday(last test before oral exam which will be known the 15th of June). And then I will spend most of the time catching up to Pokémon, Blades and Superheroes. But I am interested.

I will leave all options open for joining, B-E-T-A. I will also do this at a very slow pace, the coming month, though try to update every friday, saturday and sunday. ![](images/smilies/wink.gif)
Also, I forgot that this is really where I belong.
@ Warlord: accepted, welcome ranged fighter. Glad to have you on board.
@ mvass: Well, clearly there is no reason to find out wat the treasure is, then, we may as well get drunk in a bar over the stupid king then and never leave the bar. ![](images/smilies/tongue.gif)
You're in anyhow. Glad to see I could drag you in an RPG.
@ Gnomes: Glad to have the new owner of the glade in. ![](images/smilies/smile.gif)
Very interesting character, all around.
@ Kip: Glad to have you on board as well. Going to HCM you right away with a few questions, though. ![](images/smilies/tongue.gif)
I'm also working on the first post ASAP.

Update
Ugh, so the IC is almost done, but it will have to wait, until next weekend (writing with someone through the internet is rather time-consuming). It's gonna be a fairly big post establishing the brothers, the way they interact, their past and their quest. After that, we start the actual game with the recruiting of people and going to points x, y and z.
Because we (keksi and I) have a very big expository post, it's only fair I grant you all the right to post a big post explaining how you got in the village and give some backstory (this isn't mandatory.) After that is done, I will be very critical of very long posts that only pertain to your character and no one else. I feel that if you're only going to post stuff with your own character and NPC's created by yourself and nobody else doing stuff that hardly affects the plot, you may as well write a novel, instead of doing this collaborative writing with us.
Your second post shouldn't necessarily be everyone suddenly throwing himself in front and pledging service to Darren, though. I'll provide NPC's and such to keep the action moving and make natural transitions.

Hello!
Dagoth isn't joking when he's saying that he is doing this in collaboration with me. I propably won't be openly in a game master role, but I'll be doing things "behind the scenes" so to speak and playing one of the two brothers.
The younger brother
Name: Horace
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Equipment/ inventory: Like clothes and ropes and stuff
Class (optional): Some sort of fighter thing
Appearance (quick description suffices): Somewhat muscular and about as tall as his brother. Doesn't look too intimidating. It's to be noted that he washes his face and shaves.

Noone shall pass, but no one besides him shall pass.

I'd like to give this a whack as well. But I'm currently lacking a bit o' time. In a week or 2 that shouldn't be much of a problem anymore, so depending on when we're starting the IC, I may have to join later.
My char is on it's way.
Edit:
Name: Boolroc
Race: Sobekan (aka Crocman)
Gender: Male
Age:30's?
Equipment/ inventory: Hunting Knife, Hunting Dagger, Lockpicking-kit, Leather Clothes (as seen in his appearance) with a great many nearly indiscernible pockets and pouches, a pair of Spiked Knuckledusters and a Thieves' Guild membership.
Class (optional): Thief/Rogue
Quick background: Boolroc is a graduate of the school of "Getting the crap kicked out of you" and learned to slink his way through life. He soon fell in with the Thieves' Guild of his city, not in part due to his cleptomania, and now lives by the Code of Thieves. Boolroc has risen through the ranks but has yet to attain master status. Why Boolroc is not in his own town, nobody knows, as Boolroc refuses to talk about it.
Skills: Pickpocketing, Burglary, Vault-cracking, Larceny in General, Lockpicking, Fencing, Gambling and Close Quarters Combat.
Appearance.

Ok...you can all blame Joonas for me joining in. ![](images/smilies/tongue.gif)
Name: Enric
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Age: 27…ish
Equipment/ inventory: “Normal” clothes (think brown vest, white shirt, etc.). A short sword in a blank… Backpack with scrolls, ink and a foldable table.
Class: Mage (Scrollwork)
Quick background: Started to learn magic at a young age. Was essentially kicked out when his master saw fit.
Skills: Except scrollwork magic, a decent fencing skill. Also a passable cook.
Appearance: Normal would be the word to describe him. Normal clothes, normal length, neither under- or overweight. Bright blonde hair and a thin stubble.
So yeah..."scrollwork" might not be sufficient for an explaination, but I will make a rather long (for me) intro-post on that one. I can also do a shorter summary here if people want. ![](images/smilies/tongue.gif)
I can atleast promise that I won't turn into an immortal power house. If anything, as I plan to make it, this school of magic will probably turn out to be a whole lot weaker compared to "normal" magic. Loads and loads of restrictive rules that will be fun to roleplay around. ![](images/icons/icon28.gif)
And if you don't like it...well, I got an idea for the bog-standard "not-a-noble-but-trying-to-be-noble-A-hole" character too, if that would be needed. ![](images/smilies/smile.gif)

Sounds very interesting.
I'm also glad we have a mage, now.
And, DEAR GOD, I have a lot of people on board.
WO is also accepted.
