UESP Forums

This is the Sign-Up Thread, to get a feel of numbers and to allow people to plan their characters long before the actual roleplay starts. I have one request. Keep the edits to a minimum, as much as you can.
Thank you.. and get rrrreaaaadyyy too rrrrrumble!


It has been many years since the last dragon coming, Gran Soren has been rebuilt. We have extended our engineering prowess and extended our knowledge of magic, we were all happy, until the dragon came again. But this was a rare one, pawns appeared everywhere and as did many Arisen, Could this be the work of one, or many, we do not know if this dragon has lowered standards, but it might have. The Duchy has been passed to the Arisen, and his wife Aelinore, The Duke and Duchess lived on in their son and daughter, the twin Duchy. It is rumoured they have an incestuous relationship, but they both hold a wife and a husband. The twin Duchy are called Sophia and Sarot.

Races: Due to the time, Gransys has become more of a melting pot for races.

• Humans: Hails from Gransys, Hearthstone, Boldoa and other countries, they range from Hispanic to African to Caucasian, covering many spectrums.
• Kildes: A distant cousin of the Saurians, a Kilde are human like, with thick scaly skin, they are able to breed with those who hail from Gransys, but none truly have tried. They hail from the island nations of Kilde, They are often unaffected by the Brine.
• Phenti: Hailing from the Dark Country of Whispergen, far to the north of Gransys. This race is very humanoid in nature, if a bit... spooky. They are close to Phantoms and Will’O’Wisps, at times of great mental exertion they can become untouched by the physical realm, but much more harmed by the magical. A single Phentus can potentially pass on this ability to others at the cost of the giver losing their ethereal ability forever. They often look fragile, almost see though skin.

Faith: Just for those to have something to follow

• Church of the Faith: The main religion has split into two, The Rionists and The Kelinists. They have split over strictness of the rules, The Rionists believe they should be more lax, while the Kelinists are often uptight but more forgiving.
• Followers of the scar: The followers of the scar are a lonely isolated sect, that worships the Arisen, they are often identified with a necklace in the shape of a scar, which, by rather strategic planning, reaches to rest over their heart.
• Salvation: After the death of their leader at the hands of Grigori, they colligated together, and made their own foothold in politics. They are seen often as nuisances, but revere the dragon as a saint, a god given gift.

Towns: Many encampments have grown to be small towns.

• Greatwall encampment is now called Dragons Gate.
• Bluemoon tower: has been rebuilt and is a bustling fishing place, it has water ways and houses upon the water, Saurians are known to attack this place frequently.
• Heavenspeak fort: The bandits have gone legit and set up a gate town; it spreads into the mountains on both sides. It is a matriarchy town, with men believed to be lessers.
• The Shadow fort and Frontier Caverns: These have been turned into a militant town, it churns out soldiers many times better than others and the caverns are used as a proving ground.

Map:

Green is under the control of Bluemoon.
Red is under the control of Heavenspeak Fort
Blue is under the control of Shadow Fort
Yellow is under the control of Aernest Castle, a bandit hub land.

Vocations:

• Mage: The basic spell caster, may branch off into Warlock, Sorcerer, Magick Archer, Mystic Knight or Alchemist.
• Strider: The basic fast attacker, may branch off into Ranger, Sniper, Magick Archer, Assassin or Poisoner.
• Fighter: The basic sword and shield man, may branch off into Warrior, Spearman, Mystic Knight, Assassin or Nightblade.
• Herbalist: These are the bare handed fighters; they use poisons and potions to fight. Blinding powder, chocking dust and such are their bread and butter, they may also heal. May branch off into Monk, Healer, Alchemist, Poisoner, or Nightblade

Branches:

Under Mage

• Warlocks: These are the masters of the dark arts, they are commonly shunned in fear of their magical prowess and things they must do, their spells take longer than normal to cast, but that is because they summon the un-dead and use the might of death to their call, around them, your body will be a tool.
• Sorcerer: Powerful enough to summon a tsunami, the magic of the sorcerer has only increased in the years, they can control the very earth at will, the air and water.

Under Strider:

• Sniper: Calculating, accurate, fierce, the sniper can shoot an ant in the eye from a hundred paces, able to get even the most improbable shots from simply eyeballing the surroundings. They use guns and crossbows almost religiously, the gun for speed, crossbow for power.
• Ranger: Quick and agile these can shoot on the move, able to counter the weight of a long bow. If a ranger is shooting, you would be best to move.

Under Fighter:

• The Warrior: capable of taking and dishing out terrible amounts of punishment. Using greatswords, two handed maces and hammers like it is as natural as breathing they are sluggish but quick.
• Spearman: capable of using a spear in one hand they have strength and grace. The spearmen are great guards and even greater soldiers.

Under Herbalist:

• Monk: using herbs and fists, the monks are often underestimated, their power allow them to defeat even the strongest of warriors.
• Healer: Forsaking the wounding to the fighters the healer knows how to use the greatest of poisons to the benefit of the human body; they can cure most everything upon a person.

Hybrid Vocations

• Mage/Herbalist: The Alchemist: said to be able to turn lead into gold, These alchemist can turn a chimera into dust, slow and sluggish with a mortar and pestle always at hand they can create deadly mixtures and charge them with magic.
• Strider/Fighter: Assassin: Skilled with many weapons, bow, blade, shield and dagger, this is a jack of all trades, quick and efficient; yet lacking the brute strength a Warrior would have people within this class work best alone or in packs of other assassins.
• Fighter/Herbalist: Nightblade: Nightblades have little to no honour, poisoning their weapons and using the tricks of the herbalists they strike once, and that is all they need to do, their weapons seem to never lose the potent poisons.
• Fighter/Mage: Mystic Knight: Behind a magick shield and armed with a mace, these men have strong defences and strong arms, due to the massive nature of their shield they can cover a friend from harm.
• Strider/Mage: Magick Archer: Weaving spells with every bow shot and dagger swings the Magick Archer knows little to nothing of defence, they often move quickly to dispatch their foes.
• Strider/Herbalist: Poisoner: The poisoners use the best of their knowledge to double their efficiency on the field. Rubbing oil on their bullets and daggers they can kill from the littlest of scratches.

If you are a pawn you cannot be a hybrid class. If you wish to be a hybrid class you must first master both subclasses appointed to the hybrid class.

The map was done by Pomc, I do not own it but it was edited by pomc and the actual map belongs to capcom, as does the Dragon's Dogma series aside from assorted ideas and vocations done by me, I do not mean any offense by the stuff in this roleplay
There may be sexytimes and scenes of distrubing nature, join at risk.

You know I want in, will do so in the morning.

I'll make my character sheet soon, I'm still deciding on a few things.

I'll make a sheet! Haven't finished DD, but I really like it. Save me a spot.

Character Sheet
Name: Oromis
Race: Phentus
Village/Town;(Was not sure what to put here, does he live here? or is this where we are starting) Has been looking into the history of Blue Moon tower
Age:25
Description: He has pale skin, almost grey when you look at it. His hair is short and colored silver, not grey with age but lustrous silver. His eyes are faded purple, like old flowers that have lost their color after being dried.
History: Oromis was born in the northland of Whispergen like the rest of his people in Gransys. He worked in an Apothercary shop in his home town and took care of the sick. Oromis wanted to learn magick and become a mage, but sadly he never got the opportunity there and instead threw himself into his studies as an herbalist. When his grandmother passed on he closed the shop and set out for Gransy in search of a tome by Salomet that was said to contain Alchemical formulas and could help him integrate magick into his work.
Vocation:Herbalist

He would be living in bluemoon tower, so.. Or staying rather so that is good. Village or town is to show where they are staying at the time in Gransys.

I'm a bit confused: Are there guns? Just asking; there aren't any in the game (unless I haven't gotten far enough) and they're mentioned in the OP.

My rp is set afte the events in dragons dogma, and there are not guns or crossbows in the game...
So if you join witchery.. There may be some spoilers.

Okay! Well, I don't much mind spoilers. I can still enjoy the game with them. I don't know how I feel about the guns, so I'll have to think about signing up. Looks cool though!

Imma use my Arisen from the game!

Name:Damion
Race: Human
Village/Town; On the road from Gran Soren to the Encampment
Age: 21
Description: Tall and squared jaw with dark brown short hair. However he has a stubborn fringe that sticks outwards. His eyes are stormy grey.
History: Born and raised in the Shadow fort with his brother who is four years younger than Damion. He completed his proving at the age of 17 but didn't move from the fort as he was looking after his brother. Damion's father is a member of Gran Soren's guards. When his younger brother completed his proving they both left the fort, his younger brother to join their father as a member of the guard and Damion left to join the Enlistment Corps when he saw the influx of monsters that he remembered from a story that it was a sign of the Dragon returning.
Vocation: Strider

Witchery, so you know the guns are flintlocks and muskets, small magazine charges and slow to reload.
Justice might I ask where on the road specifically?

Moonsbit pass if that's okay?

Can't hurt to join, though the fact that there are advanced weapons and races I've never heard of is noted.
I'll try and even out the male:female ratio here. (nothing new haha)

Name: Catharina
Race: Human
Village/Town: The Abbey
Age: 23
Description: A fair-skinned, pretty girl with dark hair and brown eyes. Her eyes are large and make her look perpetually spooked, and she has a small nose with a slight point. She isn't large or built for combat.
History: She grew up an orphan in the Abbey, watched over by the nuns there. Catharina thought for a long time that she was to become a nun, but decided against it and later left to pursue a dream of actively serving the Church. She is a devout follower of the Faith and seeks to heal in their name.
Vocation: Mage

To be a mystic knight you would have to be a fighter AND a mage. Just so you know. And which of the faith would you be, which side?

Oh, okay! And Kelinist.

Oromis worships the old gods btw

Old.. gods? I is confused.. But I guess he can have his own minor religion...

The watergod's altar and the catacombs being devoted to the earth god, they are the gods of nature from a time before the faith came to Gransys.

I guess he could have his minor religion..
And a phone in one from POMC.

Name: Vorguthix Fadras
Race: Human
Village/Town: Bluemoon Tower
Age: 31
Description: Vorguthix has long, black hair which he has in braids. They are braided with golden buckles. He has a thick beard and a thick moustache. His face has many scars. He is quite muscular but one arm has been weakened by an injury he got many years ago.
History: Vorguthix grew up in Bluemoon Tower. At the age of eighteen, he accompanied his friends on raids against the Saurians to try to stop them from attacking. During one attack, his squad was destroyed and he fled in shame.
Vocation: Fighter

Hey, Shadow, I know you said keep edits to a minimum . . . but could I change her to a mage?

Sure if you wish. I'm linked to the posts so I don't need to do much in terms of work..

I can't wait for this to start!

Edited op to include the character's stance on religion. The roleplay may or may not start shortly. Depends if I meet the dragon before the 27th of January. So I'll pm you guys when I have defeated the thing, or when I think I am close to it.

Since I rather not return to the past rps in which my mind would've been blown at how much they have progress, and as I want to get back into rping, reserve me a spot. Haven't completed DD and probably won't, but I don't mind any spoilers.

Name: Markus
Race: Human
Village/Town; The Encapment
Age: 21
Description: A tall, broad shouldered man. The sides of his head are completely free of hair, whilst the top is lush with black which flows down to the bottom of his neck at the back. He has a natural dislike to facial hair, therefore he is clean shaven. With very dark skin, he is an oddity in The Encampment and usually stands out. He is very tame and religious, usually muttering short prayers when fighting. Hard to provoke and angered, Markus spends his days parying, training and waiting for new oppertunities to achieve glory.
History: Markus was born in Cassardis, and soon found himself to be the strongest 8 year old in the town. One day, a lonely travel spoke of a brave Arisen, who slain the dragon years ago. Rumours sprouted that the Arisen was a very religious Mystic Knight, so Markus baffled by his bravery followed in his footsteps. At the age of 15, he ran from home at sought after someone who could teach him the ways of a Mystic Knight.

He didn't get very far, however, and soon was caught in a battle with goblins. He killed many with his bare hands, before being captured by a group of bandits and worked as a slave for 6 years. During those 6 years, he was put under heavy punishment, expanding his physcal attributes and causing him to prefer a life of loneliness. Thankfully, he escaped thanks to sheer luck and decided that it was indeed a greater being who decided his fate, the old tales convinicng him that it was the Arisen. He travelled to the Encampment, to hone his skill as a fighter. And that's where he is now.
Vocation: Fighter
Religious standing: Followers of the Scar
