Elemaer RP - Of Spaces Below (1 open spot for a player)

Unread postby Spleen » Sun Jul 31, 2005 1:49 pm

(EDIT: Haha, this isn't an interest poke anymore, it's an RP signup!)



Not-So-Brief Synopsis
For as long as anyone can care to remember, the Order of Earth has been the major source of raw material for engineering, manufacture, coinage, etc. for the lion's share of the civilized lands of Elemaer. In the city of As'nar alone, it is estimated that 60% of all quarried stone, 65% of all iron superstructuring, 35% of all concrete and brick, and half of all wood for building (not to mention close enough to all of the city's currency that it makes no difference) originated in the Order of Earth's populous lumberyards, famous limestone quarries, and legendarily expansive mines. Such production is estimated to be the source of most (and rumored to be the source of all) of the income for Verir's Order.

Unfortunately for the Order of Earth, a thousand years of finding and exploiting the raw materials of Elemaer have begun to suck dry the old mines, empty the quarries, and convert the ancient forests into fertile and low-priced agricultural land. As the military campaigns and expeditions of the Verites and the other four Orders slowly extend the influence of humanity over formerly monster-inhabited tracts of land, the Order of Earth keeps a sharp lookout for any areas that seem to be high in the resources they need, using mundane and magical methodology to divine the location of ore veins and mineral deposits in newly-colonized areas.

Recently, the area south of Tine Kir, on the southeast peninsular foot of the continent of Azurin, became the focus of a major and hugely successful reclamation campaign by the Order of Earth, winning the Order an area of land that has all the indications of being a veritable motherlode of high-quality iron ore, exactly the market that has taken the biggest hit in the past several years of the Order's economic nosedive.

However, strange events almost immediately began to take place in and around the mine once digging began - unexplained mechanical and magical failures of equipment, gas explosions in places that the diviners all agreed couldn't possibly contain gas, and - most recently - the disappearence of several mine workers. Something is going on in the mine that the Order was not prepared for and cannot explain. Lives and money have been lost, but the Order of Earth cannot ignore the metal that the mine definitely contains.

Thus, it is the decision of the administration of the Order of Earth that the building of the mine should continue as scheduled. The fourth crew is on its way, the Order taking a gamble by sending a crew consisting completely of initiated Verites (including a few highly promising engineers and experts), trusting that their skills will be enough to find the source of the problems and discover what happened to their missing colleagues.



Right. What I'd be looking for here would be members of the Order of Earth (and possibly one or two members of the Order of Water, because this mine may or may not need draining, or something). I don't know how many I want, but if there's a lot of interest I may decide that what I need is to bring on a second GM.

I want to know who's interested. I want to hear at least vague character concepts, which might include the following:
-engineers
-diviners
-warriors (the mine is close to the frontier)
-drainage specialists

This RP will happen on the board, in the Other RPs section. <p>__-__-__-__-__-__

Mines! Interested!

My preferences for my character, in order of highest to lowest, include:

Order

1) Water

2) Earth

Specialty

1) Engineer

2) Warrior

3) Diviner

4) Drainage Specialist

That is, preferably, I want an engineer from the Order of Water. Explanation on request if needed.

Also: Board, because there is always massive uncertainty as to whether I'll have sufficiently steady internet access for chat.

HEY NEV AND MOLO:

I refuse to hold anybody's hand. If you want to use a certain character that's not a valid choice for this one, start your own RP. Just because I'm the only one who's made an Elemaer RP so far doesn't mean I'm the only one who can.

It ought to be pointed out that at this point, it's much easier to make a character for an RP than try and find an RP that fits your character. I expect this to change when there are more characters.

Also, I made a poll about this, remember? Earth and Water tied for first. <p>__-__-__-__-__-__

Hmm. Interested, if it's going to be board. Not quite sure on a character yet, but I expect one will come to me. <p>Centuries of threats of "I'll turn you all to stone!" and "I'll knock you all down!" have caused Domans to develop an instinct to form small groups.

Spleen should know that I'm all over this. I'll be using Avedis Devar, my warrior/blacksmith/tinkerer.

Edit: As for preference, I can go with either board or chat. However, board might be more convenient for scheduling. <p>

Um, yeah, you know my response to this. Of course I'd be interested. I'll probably do Order of Earth because I've been wanting to RP as one lately anyways. I'll do a Warrior, unless you're low on some other specialist, in which case I'd be glad to take the spot. <p>

Oh, it should be noted that all Order members get mandatory combat training, so even a water drainage specialist might know, for instance, how to throw a trident. <p>__-__-__-__-__-__

Whatever happened to this? I'd be in with my Trixerite if it's still going to happen- Drainage Specialist and/or Warrior. <p>[---------------------------]

Okay, that's our six. Seethe and Darkknight still need characters, and Pervy needs to post his to the ECT.

Incidentally, here's a link to the ECT, 'cuz it's getting hard to find: p068.ezboard.com/frpgww60...=219.topic <p>-_-___-___-___-_-

Wanna hear something funny? Darkknight was originally going to make a female character (I told him not to). That would mean the RP would consist of five men playing female characters and one woman playing a male character. <p>-_-___-___-___-_-

Nope. I don't lie. I only tell half-truths. Like the fact that I really had no idea what gender my character was going to be and only agreed to be male because you insisted.

EDIT: Ok, I lied. I have suddenly become so god damed busy that I can't do this RP. Sorry to whoever cares, although I highly doubt my comings and goings around this board much matter to anyone save Spleen, and even then not so much. <p>

Yeah, that's about right.

Whatever. Just as long as you're still in the D&D campaign. Bow out of that, and I will kill you. And then marry your girlfriend, to add insult to deadly injury. <p>-_-___-___-___-_-

Plus, I doubt she would marry you. Stop thinking so highly of yourself, or you might become the perfect replacement for our current big headed lead trumpet. <p>

OKAY, FOLKS.

Characters:
Spleen - Draea Elgath
Kelne - Hazelia Nganu
Pervy - Sorasi Elgath
Nebbie - Avedis Devar
Seethe - Siorena Valsinari
Idran - Vinsenz D'irejon

All these characters are listed in the Elemaer Character Thread.

The RP will begin pretty soon. Probably after my sister goes back to college, which will be in a couple of hours. <p>-_-___-___-___-_-
