Both Needed Adventures and Endeavors: a high fantasy traveling group

[saren]

Hey there thanks for dropping in!

I’m new to group rps only on this site. I first started with group rps a long time ago and I would love to get back into one.

I’m craving a high fantasy adventure rp. A group of very different humanoid-like beings (goddess, faeries, elves, humans, mages, dwarves, shapeshifters, etc) that work together for a common goal - save the world by stopping the darkness and the horrible beasts seeping out from the underworld. Through it all they banter, camp out, bond, go on side missions across the lands.

The journey and the side quests will strengthen their relationships but it’s also what happens in the small moments that’s what truly makes the story feel alive, while all along the way it leads them to each of their fates threaded together.

If this sounds like something you’d enjoy please continue reading on!

And a little about me and what I expect from you for this rp if you’re interested so far:

Spoiler

-I write anywhere between 400-1000 words, though my replies will be faster if they fall in the 400-600 range. You do not have to match that just please put in some effort.

-Third person pov, past or present tense. Just no first person.

-I’m not looking for too many writing partners, as I feel it can get a little much. I’m not even sure how many will be interested in this. But At least three people to start, six would be a good number, any more is debatable.

-everyone can have up to two characters, one female and one male. If needed we can add in and allow more.

-there will be npcs that everyone can control. Enemies, inn keepers, Gods, people with side quests, drunks at taverns, royals at thrown balls etc.

-I’d like to cap it at most thirteen main travel companions/ characters but we’ll see how many we can even get in the first place.

-any and all romance is welcome but keep anything graphic/sexual in separate threads that are 1x1 so that way the story stays on track and no one is uncomfortable !!

-IMPORTANT: if you are going to be away for longer than a day at a time please just give a heads up ooc and have your character go off and do something alone. They can bathe in a secluded river, collect berries/ hunt for food, find ingredients for a salve, fight a beast, literally anything. The main storyline can wait for you but other side ones can branch out and carry on if you won’t be too long.

-On a similar note, if you choose to leave the rp please find an appropriate end for your character and tie up any loose ends. Whether they get captured and killed, caught a fever, lost in a spar or simply ate some questionable mushrooms and ran off naked into the night - but please don’t just disappear without a word!

Now onto why you are really here…

The plot:

Spoiler

The Council of Gods split and the War of Centuries raged on. It left the people direly divided, the world corrupt and the earth literally torn. The God of Darkness decided to take over once and for all, and it’s only left up to the Goddess of Light to set things right. She is the fallen Goddess that must travel through the land and bring salvation, stop the beasts of darkness, and usher an era of peace with the help of her followers/ helpers/ traveling companions.

In the beginning she doesn’t remember her body colliding with the earth or who she is. She meets an elven seer and other powerful earthlings who have expected and long awaited the goddesses arrival. From there they form a group and must travel to the different shrines of the Gods to collect hidden items which will eventually be used in the end to make a powerful crown and sword to defeat the God of Darkness. There’d be a big war or battle at the end as well.

I had an idea also where each of the characters are actually destined to another in the group, and they must complete trials together as ‘couples’ or duos to actually acquire the enchanted objects/artifacts which makes each of them realize their true destinies and fates intertwined together.

Characters:

Spoiler

These are available characters for you to morph into your own that I’d like to see included but not all necessarily are needed. The roles can also be combined with other characters and made into something a new. Just some starting ideas.

-Mage/Sorcerer

-Elf/elven (three at most.)

• A female elven seer is one of them, and I’d like her to have a close friend that insisted on coming with her as a protector. He loves her but she doesn’t fully return that sentiment.) * this is essential for my male character’s arc so whoever would like to take on the roles - doesn’t have to be both of your characters. These can be divided up.

-a bookkeeper. Someone who documents their travels in a journal and keeps records.

-a scout shapeshifter or dragon rider that flies overhead

-a few different warrior / hero types of characters to protect the party

-a rich royal who handles the finances of the party.

If any of these interest you, please feel free to make them your own!

Also any other characters are of course welcome to join the group, there are no small characters here!

Please include what you’d like to see happen for their arc, and fill out a character sheet! Also please include a faceclaim.

Use the template provided below. If you feel like something is not included that you’d like to add, please let me know!

(I feel it’s important to have an overlaying storyline/arc for each character while they’re traveling.)

The arc is the final step in your character sheet. *Note: you don’t need a fully fleshed out journey from start to end. Just some basic plot points you’d like to see happen to y/c! Things can change in rp, so think of it as a loose map to follow.

I welcome any and all additions, suggestions, or discussions to help build a more solid story for all of our enjoyment.

I think that’s all for now. If interested let me know, please ask any questions I’ll do my best to answer, and drop your characters below for approval. I’ll place mine as an example of what I expect from you!

Also, side note: I honestly have no idea how to run a group rp on this site so if anyone with the knowledge would like to help me out with that it’d be so so greatly appreciated! Thanks

My characters:


1. The Fallen Goddess

Spoiler

Name: Goddess of Light, Elora of the Heavens

Nickname: Elle, Lora, Goddess

Gender: female

Species: God/Goddess

Age: since the dawn of time

Height: 5’5

Occupation: Goddess, ruler of light and love
Orientation: heterosexual

Place of origin: The heavens

Current Residence: Earth. Fell just outside the outskirts of a little sea faring village called Nym.

Appearance: light features - light blue eyes, long blonde hair made of threads of light that reaches her thighs if not braided. Her figure was thin but fit, and hourglass in shape.

Personality: most usually calm and loving. at times can feel more stubborn and frustrated by the mortal realm and the corrupted nature it lives in. She is a natural mediator and friend to all.

Scars/identifying body marks: freckles that glow like constellations across her body.

Ability/power (if any): Godly abilities in heaven only

Talents/skills:
- can play the harp perfectly
-has a way with words and is very good at persuading, calming, and understanding.

Pets: none

Family:
The other twelve Gods

Background info:
Raised in the heavens, one of the original Gods that formed the earth and all its inhabitants.


Arc:
Elora falls to the earth to bring an era of peace. She’s the supposed leader of the group, although she becomes more of a mediator and close companion. She has no godly abilities on earth so she must rely on the others help time and time again. That is, until she has all the enchanted godly artifacts/objects which other gods have put their essence into, smithed into a sword and crown to harness that power once more and defeat the god of darkness. I’d sadly like her to ultimately have to die in the end as a sacrifice, which will be very sad to play out but she’ll then be returned to the heavens and balance is restored. Maybe her love interest also passes before then so he’s waiting for her so it’s not AS sad. Or after ? Who knows.

2. The assassin/traitor redeemed

Spoiler

Name: Thaddeus Thorne

Nickname: Thorn/Thad

Gender: male

Species: half human half shadow beast

Age: 27

Height: 6’0

Occupation: assassin working for the dark ruler/ God of darkness

Orientation: heterosexual

Place of origin: Nym

Current Residence: traveling

Appearance: messy brown hair, pale skin, almost sullen grey eyes. He wears all black, a cloak and leather armor.

identifying body parts/marks/scars: scar split through his eyebrow, his body is also littered in scars from his training and previous fights- one along his thigh, torso, and a few on his biceps and arms.

Personality: impulsive, stubborn, observant, intelligent, very quiet, stoic, and the little humanity left in his heart makes him gentle and kind.

Ability/power (if any):none

Talents/skills: expertly trained with a knife, sword, bow and combat.

Pets: a crow he sends out to scout, deliver messages, etc. he rewards him in tiny shiny collectibles. He sits on his shoulder usually when he’s around, or flies in the trees above.

Family:
-Grew up orphaned.
-Unknown mother died at childbirth
-Father is an unknown beast of darkness.

Background info:
He was taken from the small orphanage at the young age of seven by the lord of darkness and his men. He was raised and nearly completely brainwashed by them to be a trained killer until he was released out on his own to carry out solo missions. Through this he realized not everything was as the dark lord had said. The humanity in him remained and brought back the little light left in him, somehow saving his soul despite the learned behaviors of his past.



Arc:
Thad is a hybrid son of a beast of darkness and a human. He is sent to assassinate the seer and derail the group. Instead, he falls for the seer even though she rightfully doesn’t trust him at first. No one seems too, only the goddess. He earns their trust and forms a love triangle of sorts with the seer and her longtime protector. He doesn’t go through with killing her, but eventually is found out that his motives and intentions were not as pure as they all thought. He is outcasted from the jealousy of the seers protector and gets sent away. In a moment of self doubt and anger he steals an artifact from the group. He eventually shows back up once more to return it, but is only ultimately redeemed when he and the seer work together to find the final object.
