Vengeance of the Void I OOC

[RestlessComfort]

Hello all! My name is Noah and welcome to "Vengeance of the Void." With some Skyrim and Game of Thrones inspirations, this roleplay tells the story of 7 citizens of the Kingdom of Aoedien. The High King has called upon the 7 provinces of Aoedien to gather all their best warriors and send them to the Capitol to participate in a mysterious tournament. Nothing has been revealed about this tournament except that the citizens who win will be presented a special prize from the King himself. As the 7 tournament winners will come to find, the tournament is not even a stepping stone for the adventure ahead. Together, they will have to find a way to stop a dark force from creeping across the land and destroying everything in its wake.

Basically, it is a fun story, taking place in a midevil, Skyrim type world that will require 5-7 dedicated people to participate. The seven roleplayers will take on the role of the tournament winners and each will represent a different province (and race if you choose.)

RULES

- Need dedicated writers
- Must be 18 or older
- Must be active at least once every two days (although I'd prefer every day.) If someone is not active for 4 days or more, their character will most likely be killed. If there is a circumstance, of course we will understand and hold off, just let us know.
- There will be no god modding, over powered characters, magic (until maybe later,) or unrealistic weaponry. - Moderate writing ability. I don't like one or two sentence responses! They kill the story!
- I'm also taking a risk by not making out stats for each character to decide fights. I like the freedom of you guys deciding what happens in the fights. All I ask is that you are open to defeat and realistic with the fights, because you will lose. No character in any reality is unable to be bested. If I decide you are too over powered or that you are being unrealistic in a fight, I will make quick work of fixing that issue. Basically, just be humble and smart. Obviously if you are a peasant with some backyard experience clashing swords with a trained knight head on, you will lose. I will be putting my faith in you so please just be good a roleplaying partner and have some fun!

I know all these strict requirements seem harping and serious and make me seem like a stuck up tool and an ass, but I'm a really laid back gm and I like to make fun and interesting roleplays. The only reason I have so many requirements is because I find when you do an rp like this and don't have a rule set, things go poorly very quick and the rp dies. If you meet the few requirements and can deal with the rules, then join! If you do join this roleplay, you won't be disappointed! We have good people, a well thought out story arc and history, and a pretty bad ass gm if I do say so myself ;D Below is the information on each province, as well as the character sheet. Looking forward to getting started!

Hrothmund Ysgramor

Age: 34

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Native province: Mount Ba'silt

Current province: Rothar

Occupation: Mercenary

Small description of past: Hrothmund was raised by his parents until he was eight when they were killed in a bandit raid. The town managed to fight of the bandits, but Hrothmund was banished for reasons he does not speak of. He lived in the wilderness for sometime after that as he wandered from town to town until he met a smith. He learned how to survive in the wilderness, he learned how to create and maintain his own equipment from the smith. He worked as an apprentice for the smith for some time. When he was seventeen Bandits raided the town and killed 4 people including the smith, in a rage, Hrothmund took the smith's prized axe and drove off the bandits. Out of fifteen well armed bandits, Hrothmund killed twelve. He hunted them down until he was eighteen, when he found them he killed them brutally. Then he left the area for the capital. He worked in the capital for many years as a hunter and a smith. Eventually a group claimed that they were trying to move away from Ba'silt but needed to hire mercenaries and a guide. Hrothmund took up the reigns and led the group of seventeen (including women, children, and three other mercenaries) out of the mountains. only seven remained, and Hrothmund, ashamed, left to live in Rothar. He worked as a smith for years until bandits and wild life moved too close to the city walls, when the city guard started hiring mercenaries. He has worked as a mercenary since.

Personality: Hrothmund, despite everything, likes to laugh. It is rare to see him without a smile, He laughs when he's happy, he laughs when hes confronted with unyielding terror, and he laughs at his old mistakes. He considers himself an honorable warrior and he's proud of that. He hates bandits and acts almost sadistically when he demolishes them. He is very loyal but not very smart, so he is easily manipulated. He can be gentle and caring to those he cares for.
