Sikyr, the land of imagination

dragonfly · **Posted:** Tue Nov 07, 2006 2:00 pm

This is an rp for those with good imaginations - because we're making the story up as we go along!

Setting: an Earth-like planet called Sikyr (pronounced sih-KEER)
-4 continents: Aura, Baron, Terra, and Zefr
-one big ocean: Lamar
-3 major empires and one lost empire (one per continent, w/ same name, Zefr is lost empire *but no one knows why*)

Races:
-Aviums=about 4' to 5' tall humanoid with golden down feathers covering their bodies and huge white wings that enable them to soar and glide, but not fly in the literal sense. very spiritual. have holy temple on Mt. Rayntak in Auran Empire (Aura)
-Lithus=like humans, but with pointed ears and mental abilities (telekinesis, -pathy, -portation over small distances, empathy, lie detector). about 5' to 6', they have any color (literally) of hair and eyes and have slightly purple skin (Terra)
-Kilrots=very war-like people who do not appreciate outsiders and are prone to shoot first, talk later. about 7' to 8' tall, very muscular, brown skin with black hair and dark eyes. (Baron)
-Mirdhes=about normal human heights, they are wanderers and claim no alliegance to any empires. some are merchants, but most move from place to place finding work where they go. they are the only outsider race allowed in the capitol city of Baron because they are considered too pathetic and weak to challenge the Kilrots (but it's mostly a sham. many Mirdhes have found glory and honor in battle and in war simulations)

all of these races have subsects and clans that they are extremely loyal to

Rules for characters:
1-you MUST live in the empire that is designated your race, unless you are a Mirdhe. you may travel to other empires, but no settling there
2-no magical powers. sorry, but this is scifi, not fantasy.
3-the level of technology is different for each empire, but the basic age is the early medieval times (although some relics of the lost empire of Zefr have been found that look curiously futuristic, even by human standards)
4-no killing other characters! you may fight or hold a battle of honor, but no killing off other people (with some exception, listed below)
5-if anyone wishes to leave the rp, then they should pm me and have their char killed in an enemy raid. there will be a proper funeral according to their race.
6-Zefr is open to the public, although it is said to be haunted, so watch out for "ghosts" of past ages (we can build on this later)
7-no more than three chars of each race. remember that Kilrots are hostile, but there are always exceptions to the rules.

*if anyone is getting the hint, we may be making a trip to Zefr during this rp and it might be an adventure worth taking our time on.

It's a good start, but you'd still need more of an explaination of your races, and more of them wouldn't hurt either.
The only thing with making a story up as you go is that not many people are into that. Most poeple like to have some sort of plot to go by. Trust me, I've had many a Rp that were total flops because no one wanted to join roll plays that didn't have some sort of story to them. Of course I know a way to give it a sorta story line that doesn't have any spasific thing going on. You could still give it a kind of them with some sort of goal, and still make the the rest of it up as you go. How does that sound?

awesome. i'd appreciate any advice cuz i truthfully am making the rules up as i go
and i was planning to add more races later, but the bell rang, so I'll edit the post and add my char too
but i'll wait for your input

dragonfly · **Posted:** Tue Nov 07, 2006 5:54 pm

never mind i edited it, but i can still add stuff if you think i should.
Zefr may take up a while, but we'll see

btw, anyone who doesn't like not having a set goal should probably not join this, but dont spam up the topic by shouting your disapproval. just vote, post your reason, and get out (not to seem rude, but some people are VERY influenced by peer pressure, and we want everyone to make their own decisions)
going the other way, nobody advertise this all over the site. I dont want the mods on my back, cuz it will come back to me.
