Please check the Xeth: Characters Topic for more details on each empires.
Rules
1. First of all, all forum rules and Gaian rules apply.
2. You are allowed a maximum of two main characters and no more.
3. The intent of this RP is a group endeavour, with a particular Quest in mind. Therefore, we need to have a wide variety of characters of different races and abilities that support and complement one another, as opposed to having individual characters with "super" powers or skills that could single-handedly resolve the quest.
The following is a list of Races available to choose from and there is going to be a limit as to how many of such and such a race, join the party. So basically it will be first come, first served in that regards. In other words... the party will not be all dragons, or all Elves. There can be a max of two of each race, if the race has already been taken please choose another one.
1. Humans
2. Giants
3. Krypt
4. Outcast
5. Dragons
6. Orcs
7. Ogres
8. Dwarves
9. Angelic
10. Griffons
11. Minotaur
12. Centaurs
13. Satyrs
14. Fae
15. Elves
16. Dark Elves
17. High Elves
18. Wood Elves
19. Separatists
Other: there can be other races suggested as well, besides those listed above.
4. You will be allowed to have one PNPC (personal non-playable character) but first you must contact me with the details of the PNPC, alternatively you can leave the character details and the intent of the PNPC and so on in the Xeth: Characters topic and wait for it to be cleared, though this may take more time. This is to stop people using it as a loophole to get an extra PC (playable character). PNPC’s should have a fixed intent and don’t grow in character or personality.
5. I will say it again. This Role-play is not about a singular effort or super powers; the role-play is about teamwork and a combined super power taking every member of the team to make it so. Your characters can be heroes but that doesn’t mean they won’t die when a sword it thrust through the heart.
6. This is one of the forum role-play rules but I will just make it clear here again. You are not allowed to kill other people’s characters without their permission first.
Notes
1. I have designed this role-play to be flexible. Don’t feel that say if you play an orc you have to be like another person who is an orc or be like the ones in the basic history. There are many tribes in each race and they are not likely to be all the same so therefore there is a variety for you to create your character/s anyway you want. Please bear in mind that if it is completely outrageous and doesn’t fit the world of Xeth, that I may ask you to change it. e.g. making an orc character who wears a little pink dress and has pony tails.
2. This role-play is very flexible and I have designed it so people can make their own legends and histories of various things. Please get in contact with me via email, PM or instant messenger before you post the legends under Xeth: discussion post, so I can make sure its ok and suits the world of Xeth etc, etc.
3. This is not a rule but I would like it if the role-play does not fly of at stupid speeds. I.e. not too many posts a day. I am suggesting this because some role-plays go far too fast and not everyone can keep up. I want this role-play to be open for everyone and so people don’t feel pressured to read pages upon pages and eventually drop out of the role-play, that may kill the role-play if that happens.
4. Abilities can be learned but this role-play is a ‘realistic’ one, meaning that if it would take someone 20 years to learn how to do something in this world then it probably also would in Xeth.
5. The Krypt is a playable race but also a mysterious one and is not listed in the histories, if u are thinking of playing one, please get in contact with me and I will send you the details.
6. As Game master I am open to exceptions to these guidelines, as this role-play is really intended to be quite flexible. If you feel you need to be doing something different than what is indicated above, just get a hold of me and we'll work out special arrangements.
7. Lets try to keep this literate, a paragraph or two per post please.
RELIGION.
There are many various small religions/beliefs throughout Xeth which are based around The Living Gods.
There are eight Living gods hidden and scattered around the world. Four of the gods are ‘good’ and four are ‘evil’ they all have there own vices and virtues. The four ‘good’ gods are Harmony, Compassion, Unity and Hope. While the four ‘evil’ gods are those of Chaos, Anguish, Lust and Despair. Only a very select few of various races know the location of a god and even fewer have actually met or seen a god. No one knows the location of all the gods.
(If you plan to use a god in anyway in a post please contact me and let me give you permission. Gods are PNPC controllable by me and me alone. No one can be a god, but if u wish to control one I must give permission first.)
