The Region the players will begin in, and thus those that the PCs know the best is a Region called Zephet. It is dominated by central plains where a kingdom filled with chivalry and knights thrives in the fertile land. This plain is a steppe below the great hills and mountains of the dwarves to the north.

To the west is the world's central, elven forest with the world tree in the center. Also in the forest is a human clan more in tune with the natural side of the world, living as nomads at greater peace with the elves

If you head east you will reach the edge of the dwarven mountains, and if you go past those you will eventually come to a small coastal area, and then the wide open sea.

To the south is a large desert, the humans there living in a large city built around a grand, fertile oasis that leads into a roaring river. Following the river south you come to another coast which ends in the sea.

There is a second region to the west, beyond the forest, but most don't know much about that area.
Any class is able to form new weapons from materials, using a process called 'crafting'. It sounds mundane, but it involves magical energies that infuse into the materials and bind them into a new weapon or piece of armor. Usually the materials must be prepared, but an equipmancer can use materials such as a belt instead of special string for a bowstring, or something of the sort. However, the better the materials the better the possible happenings in any case. Unless a recipe for something specific has been specially made and followed, crafting creates random goods.

Fusing is more simple, but is also random. Taking two items of a similar kind and casting a ritual over them can fuse the items together and create someone more powerful, either by mixing the abilities or even creating something new, and unique.

There is also imbuing crystals, which each contain an element. Using one on a more mundane item has the power to add that element and a special ability into the item, where imbuing an already magical item can warp and change the element and ability into something else entirely.
Warrior - Encompassing all fighters that use one-handers, dual wield and two-handers in any combination to fight enemies head on. Includes fighters, berserkers/barbarians, and skirmishers among others.

Example Equip: Giant's Saw - A large two-handed sword with a serrated blade. Equally good as a sword or a saw, dealing double damage to wooden structures or enemies. Non-Magical.

Ranger - Includes fighters that use single weapons or dual weapons, as well as long-ranged gear such as bows and crossbows to deal damage from afar or the flank. Generally better at surviving in the wilds than other archetypes.

Example Equip: Bow of Many - A magical bow which enchants the arrows fired from it to split into 5 arrows, flying close together as if shot as one, though each is its own separate entity.

Knight - A specialized warrior who uses a single weapon and shield in order to protect allies and distract enemies to fight them instead.

Example Equip: Shield of Projection - A tower shield which, when impaled into the ground, projects a wall of force two feet to either side, blocking anything that hits it or the shield. However the wearer cannot move or release the shield for as long as the projection is up.

Rogue - Encompasses all kinds of sneaky people. Thieves, assassins, conmen with a nasty side. They use small weapons, such as daggers and hand crossbows, as well as poisons and traps to gain the upper hand and take out their opponent.

Example Equip: Weighted Dagger - Helpful for those who don't always kill, the pommel is weighted in a way that san be used as a blunt instrument, able to knock living enemies out. It makes the blade better for slashing than stabbing, and when learned [how to use] can cause grievous wounds. Non-magical.

Summoner - Magic-Users that summon creatures, spirits, etc from other planes and worlds in order to have a temporary ally. Most usually study and summon one type of creature, gaining a stronger bond to some than those that summon just anything.

Example Equip: Bonded Ring - gifted from one of the creatures this summoner is has used the most, it is able to summon said creature at any time, at will and for however long is needed. However, the longer the creature is away from its own world, the weaker it gets.

Spellcaster - Encompasses most magic users, those that use staves and wands and focusi in order to channel the destructive energies that cause magical effects to emerge. Wizards, Sorcerers, some Druids, and others all fall into this category.

Example Equip: Wand of Fireball - A classic, simple wand that allows any magic user holding it to cast the spell of fireball unlimited times a day. There are greater spells out there and more impressive equips, but sometimes you simply can't beat a classic.

Cleric - Magic-Users that fight using a single weapon in one hand, while holding a special totem in their other hand in order to cast spells that heal and support. Classic clerics, some druids, and shamans are part of those included here.

Example Equip: Mace of Dual Purpose - A simple-looking ball mace with an odd yin-yang look to the metal. The Cleric is able to summon their energies into the mace, and from there it can be released in two ways. Either a smack to someone that can hurt or, if used on someone the cleric considers an ally, heal them; otherwise it can fire a bolt of that energy to do the same [hurt or heal].

Equipmancer - The greatest in equipcrafting, they are able to make anything out of something, to the point a twig and a belt (along with a few crystals) can fuse and become a magical bow. Where anyone with the right tools can craft new weapons or fuse them together, Equipmancers are the best and the only ones able to use crystals to imbue.

Example Equip: Forge Glove - The mainstay of an Equipmancer, it acts as a metal gauntlet for punching people, but as every equipmancer makes their own at the end of apprenticeship, it has a few special abilities. Mainly the ability to focus the magical energies required for crafting, fusing and imbuing.

Battlemage - Those able to learn the ways of two classes are able to master neither. Simply put, a battlemage has the skills and equips of both a martial and a magic class, but are unable to utilize anything to the fullest potential of power.

Kinda funny how the only full human is this guy who smells of rotting fish.
 
I almost wouldn't mind if he smelt like salt from the ocean, but rotting fish... I don't think even Sqyd would smell like that. :P
 
Well most of his belongings were found in the trash at fishing villages. If he gets better armor the fish smell might go away. He won't bathe in anything but sea water though
 
I'm hoping to start sometime later today, just so everyone knows :)
 
Sorry guys, but not replying today. Maybe I'll try for one tomorrow. Mythy, are elves vegetarian in this world?
 
@Quiet One no, probably not. They hunt more than keep farm animals, and farm differently than humans but they're still omnivores
 
Okay...was just wondering if I had to get creative with Mako's diet.
 
Alrighty everyone! I was thinking that perhaps tomorrow I might bring in the start of the first quest, unless people would like it sooner or more time for interaction. Always open for thoughts and ideas! :D

Edit: and do tell me if I'm pushing too much. I'm just hoping that I don't let this one die

Want a debate between Mako and Zeria about if monk wine or elf wine is better. XD
 
Less a debate and more Zeria having fun :3 She doesnt really have any preference for type she simply drinks wine as it is one of two things she drinks, wine and water.
 
Hey, what's that about my wine sucking?! :P
 
Name: OnI6470
Character Name: Kallimar
Race: Half drowPlayer
Age: 125
Gender: Male
Appearance: Long white hair, dark greyish skin, one eye is yellow and the other is green, slim lips, almost all the time has a half smile that can be mistaken as a mocking gesture. Slim body, not too muscular.

Class: Rogue
Personal Trait/Ability/Equip: Stealth, he's able to blend into the shadows as long as he doesn't move.
Starting Weapon/Summon/Spell: Throwing knives.
Starting Armor: Studded leather.
Other Gear: Cloak and hood, rope, hook, water, rations.

Personality: He tries to act as friendly as he can since he knows that makes easier to make others talk and that way, discover weak spots, etc. His real personality is buried very deep, some even could say that he has no one or that he hasn't developed one, all is a performance to him. Being a neglected child he had to learn how to manipulate others to achieve some degree of attention. The only time when he loosens up is when he's drunk, something that he tries to avoid unless he's alone.

History: Kallimar is the illegitimate son of a member of the dark elf nobility. His father was one of the commanders of the armies of his mistress, as such, it was his duty collect riches, slaves, etc. raiding nearby villages. For a time he was very successful until he assaulted the fortress of a newly appointed lord. They weren't expecting such attack and were unprepared, the dark elves took over the fortress and took every valuable they could find, including the lord new wife. Retreating they went back to the badlands taking refuge on one of the many posts that they had built there. They should have returned to their kingdom after tending their wounds but they rather spend their time drinking, gambling and abusing the captives. What they didn't expect was that the aggravated husband had mounted a rescue party, even against the counsel of his aides since many months had passed since the raid. When the search party found the dark elves they were too drunk to even fight back, the lord executed all of them and returned to his lands with his wife. Of course, there were talks about what happened to his wife in the months that she was captive but the lord shut them right away. But months later it was clear that she was pregnant and what had happened while she was captive, also raised questions about who was the real father of the baby. But he loved her so much that even when she died giving birth he still recognized the illegitimate child as his. But he didn't love him, he hated his skin color, the pointed ears and cursed at the elves, no making distinction between them, who had stolen his honor and his wife. Kallimar spent his childhood and teenage years as a loveless, unwanted figure. That until one day he found an old book, one that spoke of his kind, the dark elves. Without telling nothing to his father he left taking the few collected objects from the raid.
He has spent the last years surviving and honing his skills as a thief while looks for clues and artifacts about the race of his father and the whereabouts of others of his kind.
 
I'll hold off on my post since it will mainly just be Zeria giving her name and announcing that the 'strange elf' will be traveling wtih them. So I'll wait some
 
So guys, seems like we're stalling here. In order to get us moving again, would you like me to jump us to the farming village, or would you rather something else to jump us? And if something else, perhaps any ideas?
 
Hm...well, think we need to at least all head out together before getting to the farming village. Suppose it depends if OnI's little challenge is important or not.
 
Oh, it's not important, the "challenge" was just an attempt to not be rejected and join some group to leave the town. By the way, sorry for the late (and short) answers, I have been having troubles with my pc.
 
Hey Guys. Want to do an interest check. People still into this?
