[bg=#9AFFA3]A Realm of Seasons[/bg]

Amidst the vast green waters of an ocean so large, there lay an archipelago of five islands. However, it is quite difficult to find this strand because a mysterious magical energy surrounds the islands and makes them appear and disappear every five hours. But, when someone does wind up on one of the islands, they are bound to the inside of the energy forever. The magical energy causes four of the five islands to have only one season all year. This makes each island vastly different then the next.


#9AFFA3 The first island in the archipelago is called Sprinfata and the season is Spring all year long. The flora is always just beginning to bloom and the temperatures are between 60 degrees Fahrenheit and 78 degrees Fahrenheit. There is at least one light rain shower a week. The most notable aspect of the Fauna is that they seem to be perpetually in a state of adolescence, never truly grown to full adulthood. For this island, there is a council that oversees matters of the people and a king and queen (if chosen) to make decisions final.

The major trade industry on Sprinfata is producing Clothing and Accessories. Sprinfata is allies with all other islands.


#AAA805 The second Island is called Sumenoto and the season is Summer all year long. The flora is fully in bloom and the temperatures are between 80 degrees Fahrenheit and 120 degrees Fahrenheit. There can be brief heavy rainstorms every month, but it is mainly sunny all day. The most notable aspect of the Fauna is that they are extremely large and abundant. Like Sprinfata, this island's people are overseen by a council and a king and/or queen.

The major trade industry in Sumenoto is animal and crop agriculture. Sumenoto is allies with Sprinfata, Winturof, and Nuetolam. They are under tense negotiations with Autunmei and the future for the alliance between these islands is dim.


#9E2900 The third island is called Autunmei and the season is Autumn (or Fall) all year long. The flora is always consistently falling, growing back, and falling again in a never ending cycle. The Temperature is between 36 degrees Fahrenheit and 58 degrees Fahrenheit. There is light snow fall every three months. The most notable aspect of the Fauna here is that they all are colored to blend in with the fall background.

This island is overseen by a council and a king and/or queen. The major trade industry in Autunmei is magical potions & talismans. Autunmei is allies with Sprinfata and Winturof. They find Nuetolam to be more of a territory to claim then a government powerful enough to be an ally. Sumenoto is under pressure from Autunmei and their negotiations are turning south.


#040034 The fourth island is called Winturof and is the last island that has only one season all year long , which is Winter. The flora is all dead and no plant life grows here. However, the minerals found underneath the ground are very precious and can be used for magic and other things. It snows every week and the temperatures range from -50 degrees Fahrenheit to 32 degrees Fahrenheit. The Fauna is few but powerful, they are wise and toughened by the harsh year long winter.

This island is overseen by the smallest council and a king and a queen. Not many can survive in the cold snowy tundra of Winturof, but there are those that try and they are governed appropriately. The major trade industry is mining for magical gems and minerals. They are the biggest allies with Sumenoto because they cannot grow their own food and they don't mind Sprinfata or even Autunmei. However Nuetolam is a place they want to stake their claim.


#BFA366 The fifth and final island is called Nuetolam. The seasons change in a cycle each year starting with spring and ending with winter. The Flora changes as the seasons do and Nuetolam reflects the other islands in one year. The most notable thing about the Fauna here is that they drop precious loot when hunted. This island is governed by a coven of elders who prefer to stay out of conflict as much as possible.

The Major trade industry here is weapons and armor. Nuetolam is allies with Sprinfata, and Sumenoto. They are weary of attack from Autunmei and Winturof.


This Realm of Seasons is eager to be explored, which island will you swear your allegiance to?
This group roleplay is an open world which means, characters are accepted even after the IC is started!

[bg=#9AFFA3]Roleplay Perks[/bg]

Experience Points & Leveling System Hidden Object Game System Classes Occupations Currency & Trade Ability Points Inventory Slots Quests

  • - Doing certain tasks on the islands will award your character with experience points. Each task falls under three main categories: Occupational Tasks, Class Tasks, and Quest Tasks. For each island there is a list of Occupations that your character can take up. You gain various amounts of experience points for each post made doing that occupation. For Class Tasks, you will have to make a post that consists of your character acting out the main role of their class. While Quest tasks give you experience if you make a post that shows your character completing one of the many quest objectives that is listed.

    - To level up you need to gain 10x the level you want to reach. So, if you want to level up to Level 2 you would need 20 points of experience. The Level cap is set at 50 for now. Each level up will receive three rewards that all characters get and one reward that is specialized to each character. To save space in this post, I'll be compiling the list of Level requirements and rewards later on. Now onto the next perk: The Hidden Object Game System!

  • The Hidden Object Game System or the H.O.G.S. for short, is a new perk that I would like to try out. With this system, in each of my GM posts I will describe many, many interesting and obtainable items that can be found in the scene. If you happened to see an item your character wants, all you have to do is roleplay them trying to collect the item. However, you can not automatically receive the item.

    I will use this Random Number Generator to decide whether or not your character will encounter an obstacle while trying to collect the item. IF it lands on an even number, you won't have to face anything and your character will have the item in one of their inventory slots. IF it is an odd number, then the character will face a challenge to getting the item, and if they can't conquer it, they don't receive the item in their inventory.

  • Within the magical energy of the archipelago, there are 5 classes that characters can align with. These classes are essentially the main role your character has in the plot of the roleplay, and these classes help further the story.
    - Protectors:
    This class is for those who protect and fight for others. Protectors make sure other members of the islands are safe from outside threats and beasts upon the islands. They are the strongest characters and can lift things 10x their size, and break down rocks with their fists. They are strength.

    - Soothers
    This class soothes others and heals them if they are hurt. There are many ways a character can get hurt inside the magical energy and the Soothers make sure that they are well tended to and taken care of. These characters are the most compassionate, they are able to use herbs and stones to aid their processes. They are endurance.
    - Enchanters
    This class are the mages of the islands. They are skilled in the magical gems, plants, and talismans that are abundant throughout the Archipelago. They are hear to interpret the magical energies of the islands. These characters are the most wise and intuitive, they are able to sense different energies around them. They are Wisdom.

    - Planters
    This class is essentially the Farmers of the islands. They are skilled with flora and they know how to make them grow and flourish. Planters are almost non-existent on Winturof due to the harsh conditions, but the guild of Planters is trying to figure out a way to grow crops on the island. These characters are hard working and honest. They are Truth.

    - Hunters
    The last class is the trappers of the islands. They know all there is to know about beasts and critters and they are skilled in hunting these beasts. They are also the independent traders of the archipelago and they know the best places to find items. These characters are agile and perceptive. They are Cunning.

    Strength, Endurance, Wisdom, Truth, and Cunning are all Class abilities that you can strengthen with ability points.

  • The main currency inside of the magical energy that holds the archipelago is called Seasol. You can gain Seasol by posting your character doing their occupation, through quests, and even as Loot. You can use Seasol to buy items for your character and in some situations bribe someone into doing something.

    This tab is where Seasonal Island Kingdoms keeps it's transactions IC. If a Character purchases something, the spent Seasol will be totaled here. Make sure that when you are buying an item you have the available inventory slots to hold it. If there comes an event that needs to be paid for, the collected total here can be used for those things. (jail bond, wedding, death, etc)

As your character levels up you will be awarded more inventory slots to hold all the items you could ever want. In your character profile I will be listing your character's items and the inventory. If you want little images of each item you have for your Character profile, let me know and I will make them for you.
  • To save space in this post, I will be making a new post of a comprehensive list of ALL available quests within the magical energy of the Seasonal Island Kingdoms. Each quest will have a list of objectives your character will have to complete in order to gain a reward. Some quests are there to push the plot forward, while some quests are there for personal enjoyment and special items.


[bg=#9AFFA3]Rules & Guidelines[/bg]

[fieldbox="General Rules, #9AFFA3, dashed, 5, Times New Roman"]
1. No OOC Drama - If you have a problem with another player, take it to inbox.
2. What the GM says, goes. (@WhisperingWillows)
3. Don't be afraid to ask questions!
4. You may use anime/CG/Real life pictures.
5. Please fill out the character sheet by copying and pasting the code that is in the Character Creation Tab.
6. If you have an idea that could change the plot, let me know so we can discuss it before implementing it in the IC.
7. You may have as many characters as you can handle. If I see you can't post equal amounts with all of your characters, I will ask you to withdraw them.
8. If you'd like to hold a Leader position on the Seasonal Island Kingdoms than message me and we can discuss.
9. HAVE FUN!!!
[/fieldbox]
[fieldbox="Posting Expectations, #AAA805, dashed, 5, Times New Roman"]
When creating your IC post, I'd like for 6-8 sentences. More is always better, but at least 6-8 sentences is my minimum for posting. After I post my GM post I'd like for all players to post once before I post another GM Post. You don't have to get a post to me quickly as long as it doesn't make the IC dead for a month.
[/fieldbox]
[fieldbox="Character Creation Guidelines, #9E2900, dashed, 5, Times New Roman"]
Your character can be anyone, within reason, that you can come up with. There is a variety of species upon the islands that were born there and also new comers come to the island (and stay forever) all the time. Plenty of options for you to choose from for your character.
If you'd like to add more to the Character sheet, feel free to. However, I need you to keep the entire sheet in tact. I would like at least 7 sentences for the personality. I want to know who your characters are in depth. Other than that, let your brain come up with amazing characters, and if I see a problem with your sheet, I'll let you know.

Character Sheet Template In-Character Roleplay Information

  • Full name: Jon Mars
    Nickname(s): Johnny
    Age: 25
    Species: Human
    Appearance: Jon is somewhat of a shorter man, standing at about 5'5. He is decently strong, but not exactly visibly muscular, he would probably be best described as lean. He has very thin features, and he has been described as looking rather shifty. He has somewhat short black hair, that he usually keeps slicked back. He has short sideburns, and a thick mustache. He has brown eyes. He has pale skin. He wears a pair of brown cotton pants, a white button-up long-sleeved shirt, a pair of black boots, and in colder areas he wears a red thick wool coat
    .
    Personality: To start things off, it's probably best to clarify that most people consider Johnny to be a very strange person, or at the very least somewhat eccentric. He is typically friendly to others, even if they're a bit rude, although he isn't extremely out-going. His main desire in life is adventure. He enjoys traveling, experiencing new lands and meeting new and interesting people. He always has a willingness to help others, as he usually assumes he'll get something in return, which usually gets him into compromising or dangerous situations. Considering he isn't exactly a very big guy, when it comes to fighting, he is very crafty. He uses whatever he can to defeat his opponent, and he is particularly fond of using the environment, although he usually prefers to run away rather than fight if possible. He is very very easily swayed by women and children.

    How did they get to Seasonal Island Kingdoms?: Jon was aboard a merchant ship from a somewhat far away kingdom, when his ship was attacked by pirates, and he was taken hostage aboard the ship, probably to be eventually sold as a slave. He was imprisoned on the ship for 3 months, until he managed to break out using a fork, (long story) He stole a rowboat and escaped the ship, and was lost at sea for many days until the boat washed up on the shores of Nuetolam. He has not pledged allegiance to any of the islands, as his current plan is travel to each island, and explore.

    Extra Information: The only thing remotely close to a weapon that he carries is a small knife. He is particularly talented in climbing and running.

Aston Tamesis' Character profile has been updated with his two new items: Scroll of Icy Breath & Broach of ColdStones. Here is a direct link to the Reward Sheet. Since he is still on their way to align with a class I left out the ability points he gains for now. But he did get 3 exp still! The next profile to be updated is Sami's!

  • Full name: Buras Garethsson.
    Nickname(s): N/A
    Age: 35, just becoming an adult for a dwarf.
    Species: Dwarf
    Appearance:
    6569db62fd746360fc3bdb1151f75051.jpg

    Personality: Buras is a very stubborn dwarf, more so then the average dwarf at any rate. If he wants something, and it's on the other side of a wall, he'll walk through the wall. That also means that he'll sit there like a boulder and refuse to do something no matter how much you try to convince him. Friend or foe, he will dig in his heels when he believes he is in the right. This has gotten him in trouble, of course. But what is life if you don't get into trouble every now and again? That being said, he's a pretty nice guy to be around. He'll tell it to you straight, doesn't beat around the bush, etc. And boy is he loud, you'll never have to ask him to repeat what he says.
    How did they get to Seasonal Island Kingdoms?: Born and raised on the island of Autumnie.
