--------------------------------The Story----------------------------------------

The wind hammered on a tent made of fine silk, it swayed violently neath the moonlight. Inside rested three men, one dressed in fineries and two clad in heavy eccentric armour. The discussion of the two armoured men raged loudly, yet the body did not awaken. It would never again awaken. As the discussion met to end the left most figure moved for the door, his scarlet cape lagging behind.

As the figure stepped outside the tent he stood before a massive flat land. The large plot of plains was infested with many smaller tents that, due to the bells sound cries, men raised the curtain door and came out into the open and stared respectively at the figure.

The lonesome figure before the central tent waited patiently for all to assemble before his lips opened dryly to form a few words.
“Our lord king is dead, assassinated in his sleep this night” he began, his voice emotionless to the large uproar before him.
“The land of Algrathea is rip for the picking for it bears no Heir, no legal owner to call a claim about it. Their will be nothing but bloody conflict until a new ruler is decided, for all those who stay loyal to the Capital city then I plead you to return and await further orders. This campaign is officially over, we have lost my brothers the southern barbarians have won this battle.”

With these last words the figure turned about and left, leaving some loyal soldiers to scramble their few possessions and dutifully follow the officer. Then the other man, the one previously i the tent with this last officer, came out of the kings former tent.
He also had a few words to speak yet his were a fair bit less holy then his scarlet caped counterpart. He opened his mouth with stern arrogance and spoke;
“I call claim to all the lands of Algrathea! I have worked, poured sweat and blood into the lands for the past 46 years of my life. This land is mine, my own, and for every man who will follow me then a generous portion of this lands wealth will await you!”

And so began the falling of the greatest empire, the Algrathean Empire, the world had ever seen since the day the gods blew life into us all.

Hello all I am new to these forums but a seasoned Rper. I was bored tonight so I decided to look some forums and this is the reward of my toils. I will start this Rp I do not know exactly where it goes in these forums but I am shooting blindly and hoping for the best. I will lay down a few rules before I begin that must be follow if you wish to participate in this rp.
1. You may control only your character, or any NPC character under your liege.
2. I decide the outcome of battles, not randomly do not worry I use your states and a a minimal random value to add some spice into battles. Generally higher stats= higher chance of victory.
3. No 1 sentence posts please, I would greatly enjoy you give a minimal effort into your post and detail out your action. “I wing my sword” wow that s**ks man, “I grasp the hilt of my blade, sweat beading down my face, I rush towards my enemy battle frenzied. I scream of rage and ferociously attempt to bring down the steel of my sword onto his exposed neck” please something in the vicinity (better I hope that was weak :P )
4. To a certain extent please read proof your work, I understand we are human and we make grammar mistakes I made about three dozens already but at least I tried! I would enjoy if you could give some effort to correct your work. Please.
5. Be active if you join the rp. 1+ a day is excellent 1 every 2 days is acceptable 1 every 3 days is on the line. I would like to have a steady game play flow in this rp and make it fun for everyone. If you are being highly inactive then it will be at your expense, you will lose your battles, your character will pay the price for your lack of commitment and you will be singled out and dropped from the RP
To be in this rp just simply fill out the form and ask if accepted I will not reject a lot of people (probably no-one) but it is respectful to ask if you are allowed to participate in someone else’s rp before you begin.

Format:
(all in game information btw I don’t want your real info :P)
* meens see below for options
Name: (a name….)
Allegiance*: (see below)
Race*: (see below)
Age: (depends on race)
Physical Appearance: 1-2 paragraphs please)
Background Info: (1-5 paragraphs please)

*Allegiance: here I will explain the different teams you may join.
Algrathea Empire: The leader is the Scarlet caped man in the intro. These are the people who have stayed loyal to the capital of Algrathea, Agreetha, the soldiers here are well trained and found in a wide variety.
Algrathea rebels (Vroencran): The people in the intro who did not follow the Scarlet man but joined the other one, these are the men who wish to make profit from the kings death. Their goal is to take over the land of Algrathea.
Freelancer: One of the soldiers from the beginning who did not join any of the too camps. If you chose this you are free to create your own band of men and try your claim at the capital or ally with them. Your choice.
Outsider: Come form distant lands or was not in the empires army. Must specify where and why you are here in your background.

*Race: Human, Elf, Dwarf, Orc, Half-elf, Half-orc, halfling, Hobbit, Gnome, any other race is possible as long as you pass it by me and its not super pumped style.
After that is filled do your stats. You begin with 3 in each. As so…
Strength:3 --- Raw strength of body, power related
Endurance:3 - Build of the body, defence related
Vitality: 3 ---- health of the body, health related(HP)
Dexterity:3 --- Swiftness of the body, stealth and speed related
Intelligence:3- prowess of the mind, magic power related
Willpower:3 - sternness of the mind, magic def, related
Widsom:3---- knowledge of the mind, magic amount related (MP)
Charisma:3--- physical appearance and speech, Hot+Talking related

Then you may add to a total of 50 points to these. States will play a big role in combat and NPC interaction. Chose wisely and plan the future of your character :P Stats affect what you start with also. If you but high strength and vitality I will make you a melee based char, however if you power spend in willpower and wisdom on Intel then I will give you some spells. Chose wisely. No stat may exceed 25!

Good luck, make your sheet, don't be shy to ask any questions. I hope, really I do, that you will join this rp and we can make it one of the damn greatest one in these forums :P

Unfortunately, this will fail. I will submit my character tomorrow, but there just aren't enough literate Role-players here.

If that is the case then it is a shame but all the same I will attempt to create a successful rp. If no one tries then that does not give the opportunity for one to succeed therefore we would be unable to criticize that no one is literate enough to rp.
With this said I am sure we can manage to form a half decent rp. All I am looking for is at least 3 decent Rpers. You will probably prove a most literate RP-er and I have no doubts this forum can cough up at least two more. Maybe add one or two illiterate people with minor roles and teach them along the way.

Cheers, and I hope we will RP together in the near futur

I think smiley may be frowning. I think he dropped off this forum a few months before he got serious interest. We'll have to start one up ourselves if he doesn't show up. I was hoping to get a taste of a forum RP before running my own, but it doesn't look like it'll happen that way.

Apparently, I have turned this thread into a recruitment poster. "Come one, come all, to the recruitment center of the Bluecloak adventuring guild. You want action? I've got action! You want story? I've got story! You want mushy stuff? Well, I may have a little..."

Right now, I'm getting my feet wet with a one-on-one forum based RP. I don't know how to do it, so I'm basically running a D&D game. Keep it simple. See the first post of the thread "Rookie Forum DM...Beware of poor RPG (http://forums.ancientclan.com/showthread.php?t=6638)" for the basics.

If you want to continue the story line that smiley started here, I'm sure I can BS something together. If you want your own original tailor made for you, well that's cool too. Post a thread of the kind of character and story you would like run. I would like to keep the Bluecloak adventuring/mercenary guild as the central theme for now. You either work for them, or hire them. I control the hierarchy, and everyone has to earn their way up the ranks. We'll see what that might mean later.

Keep it simple to start with and only complicate the character per your comfort level. D&D for dummies is a nice book to have, but most definitely is not required. Go to http://wizards.com for cheap (free!) information on the basics. Don't worry about the stats, let's keep it simple.
