Foreword:
I'm going to try to keep this sign-up as simple as possible, as I want to avoid overly complicating things and restricting people.
The plot is quite vague, because I also want to leave the plot's development as much in the hands of the characters as possible.
If you do feel the character-building process is too complex or restrictive, please let me know! I don't want to put people off because they feel intimidated or constrained. Also, feel free to ask me if you want further details on something or guidance with character making.
People are also very welcome to make suggestions, etc that they think may improve the RP.
Depending what sort of interest this gets, some key characters (leaders of the races & the scouts) may end up being NPCs, in which case each person may apply to control up to 2 NPCs each if they wish. Any other NPCs will be controlled by myself.
Rules:
Just the usual "No god-modding", etc.
Basically: so long as you contribute something to what's going on in some way and don't do things you obviously shouldn't do, it's all good! Any queries, just ask! Any complaints, voice them!
Have fun!

The land is split into three main regions:
Orchaldor, the land of the Humans, who worship the Olympian Gods.
Sidh Talath, the land of the Elves, who worship the Egyptian Gods.
and Belthond, the land of the Dwarves, who worship the Norse Gods.
--/- PLOT -\--
An object fell from the sky and landed at the exact point where the 3 races' territories connect, leaving a huge crater. Each race sent a scout to see what was at the bottom and each returned with a slightly different story, though they all said it was a gift to their race from the Gods. Now the three races, who used to live in relative harmony, are distrustful of one another.
Whilst some are doubtful as to the artifact's origins and believe it should be left alone, others believe their race should muster an army and take it by force.
We dive into the story as the scouts return to their Capitals to give their reports of what they found in the crater to the leader(s) of their race...
Human Overview Humans are good all-rounders and whilst they boast no obvious advantages, they suffer no obvious weaknesses either. The Humans are led by the King, Dolär, who sits on the throne in Addoncaras, the capital of Orchaldor. Olympian Major Gods Zeus Worshippers of Zeus show immense physical strength, and skill with most melee weapons. Poseidon Worshippers of Poseidon have a particular aptitude for horse-riding, and combat with ranged and pole-type weapons. Hades Worshippers of Hades possess an impressive intellect and an affinity for elemental magic, along with prowess in hand-to-hand combat. | Elven Overview Elves are good with a bow and excellent scouts. What they lack in power they more than make up for in dexterity and intellect. The Elves are led by The Elders; a high-council of 3, each seen as the right-hand of one of the Elves' major deities. Egyptian Major Gods Ra Worshippers of Ra have a deftness with small, bladed weapons and are capable of wielding white magicks with particular proficiency. Isis Worshippers of Isis have an innate closeness with nature and can influence the behaviour of animals. Set Worshippers of Set are more able with melee weapons than others of their kin and can use subtle magicks to aid with deception. | Dwarven Overview Dwarves are stout warriors and expert craftsmen, generally favouring close-quarters combat and brute strength. The Dwarven realm is split into 4 regions, each ruled by a King. These Kings are answerable to no-one but the High-King Terâin, who resides in the capital of Balandom. Norse Major Gods Odin Worshippers of Odin are fierce warriors and great hunters, who tend to favour axe weapons of any variation. Thor Worshippers of Thor are particularly adept with hammers. They also have a way with herbs and alchemy for the purposes of healing. Loki Worshippers of Loki come the closest to possessing magicks of any Dwarves: they can enchant weaponry to various ends. |

When creating a character, basics in attributes and proficiencies are governed by your race and the Major God you choose to worship. Specifics about your character would then be outlined by yourselves.
Please provide a character sheet, outlining you character's race, major God, their position (i.e. Scout/ King/ soldier, etc), maybe their opinion of the artifact situation and anything else you feel is important to know about your character :)
I think a couple of characters from each race should be enough to get the RP going...
-- EDIT --
I also now feel compelled to point out that your character isn't limited to only what is outlined in the description of whichever major God you choose: those are simply "bonuses", if you will, things your character would be especially good at. Or skills and preferences generally attributed to worshippers of that deity.
