This will be a midevil style RP dating somewhere within the time of Feudal Europe involving the invention of gunpowder. You can be any race you wish and any class of your choosing, ie. Knight, Barbarian, Assassin, Fighter, Healer, whatever.
Magic does exist but NO MASSIVE A.O.E. SPELLS! This does not mean that AOE magic is not allowed, just that it's more dampened down to targeting only two to four creatures at a time. NOTE, targeting more than one creature WILL lessen the effectiveness of the spell. For instance, a lighting spell that would kill a single creature would only briefly paralyze four.
Armor ranging from none at all to heavy platemail is allowed but be prepared to suffer certain penalties for wearing armor. No one in their right mind would jump into a river wearing full chain and plate mail armor unless they no longer felt like living. Of course no one wearing light leather armor would survive multiple arrows or a gunshot to the chest. It will be up to good judgement on that front. If I see something that looks too far out in left field I might say something here, however, if I can be proved otherwise I will shrug and let the RP roll.
Weapons are all up to you. From the simple yet deadly shank to the devastatingly messy war heavy hammer. Remember, though this does has to deal with the Feudal era. Repeating crossbows, fighting hooks, flintlock pistols, weapons of all cultures and creeds from the time are welcome. One thing, I love looking up weapon types and complimenting the finder for their originality. When you have a character, and are ready I ask you, please do not list a lot of gear. You will loose everything except your armor and weapons at the very beginning of the RP.
The RP starts out with you on a ship. I'll set the scene you may carouse and meet the other players or not. Not too long after there will be a storm where the ship will become lost at sea and the storm will overtake the vessel. You and the other players will find themselves at the mercy of kind Gypsies who saved you from a watery grave. Lost and alone you will meet a pirate captain of the worst breed who offers you a place among his crew to find the fabled island of SablesIll. A land that once belonged to a race of demonic breed fox creatures who controlled the only trade route to the lost lands of the far east. Tales of fantastic armors and legendary weapons along with a great wealth in gems and gold and more importantly, knowledge lies hidden on the lost island.
The RP can support up to four players even allowing the option of each character having an extra character for support and ease of movement. I will leave this here for a while until capacity is met and then I will begin the RP.
