Yep, anoter idea for an RP. This time it's a medieval RP with NO guns, lasers, etc in it.

Anyway, onto the story:
The Great War, a conflict between all the states in the world, has ended. It has been 10 years since the end now and everything is unlike it used to be.
Before the war each state ruled itself and this isn't the case anymore. Now Count Estermach the Third has asserted himself as the ruler of all the lands. From his castle in Esternbrit, the new capital of Carancas, he oversees all matters to ensure his reign is unopposed, killing all who speak against him or resist his rule.
Sadly there is no state strong enough to stand against him as his army is too large to be easily beaten.

There are several hidden movements to overthrow Estermach's rule, the largest of which is hidden in the ruins of Avantis, a once great city now reduced to ruin due to the war.
The movement in Avantis has many members and reaches all the way across the land, having been the "founder" of all the other smaller resistance movements. Even though it is the largest it is the most secretive and stealthy. The main aim of the movement is to destabilise Estermach's power base (his army) and eventually overthrow Estermach or kill him.


OK, you're all part of this movement or you're attempting to join the movement. I'll post a map as soon as I upload it and the character sheet will be below.


C.S.
Code:
[b]Name:[/b]

[b]Ex-Occupation:[/b] (knight, mage, archer, etc. what you did before joining the movement)
[b]Weapons/Items:[/b] (pretty straight forward)

[b]Strengths:[/b] (what you're good at, either naturally or learnt)
[b]Weaknesses:[/b] (what you're bad at. socialising, stealth, whatever)
[b]Personality:[/b]
[b]History:[/b] (include a town/city of birth. feel free to make one up seeing as there are only two places on the map but please tell me where it is so i can add it to the map. leave out the town/city until i post the map)

- Dwarf
- Gnome
- Half-Elf

Rules:
- I am thy GM. What I say goes and no arguments
- No killing another person's character without permission.

My character will be up later. Right now I'm going to work on the map.

It's safe to say that if Optix makes it i'll most likely join. :wink:

I'm surely in but I don't think i can make a sheet until late tomarrow [Central Time(States) and it's 10:06 PM here now.]

If I join, none of the RP's here really have held my interest [I think it's the two-week life. Actually, I know that's it]. Don't count me as official unless I both complete this fully and I post in the IC thread.

Name:
Age: 37
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Appearance: (picture or description
Ex-Occupation: Farmer
Weapons/Items: None
Strengths: Almost impossible to keep track of [seeing as he's a non-combatant], more readily available to gain information due to necessity of food.
Weaknesses: Is not a fighter.
Personality:
History: (include a town/city of birth. feel free to make one up seeing as there are only two places on the map but please tell me where it is so i can add it to the map. leave out the town/city until i post the map)

I assume he also wants you to refrain from taking Dragon, Old Ones, Elder Beings, Cosmic Horrors, Deep Crows, etc.

I've read up on Kobold, and I think I might go for that. Sounds very cool. But let's get this straight:

Kobolds are naturally invisible. They can materialize in any form, be it humanlike(size of child, however), animal or even fire. So, if I made a character, he could be invisible then form into fire and attack the opposition?
