New Castle theme - new roleplay?

Lamanda2 · Post by **Lamanda2** » Sun Feb 04, 2007 4:13 am

Ziggy- Good point about the two coming factions, I actually thought of that. But when I read Sir Kohran's post about making a character, the two factions were not listed, so I wasn't sure, but adding them in shouldn't be too much of a problem.
As for the Crusaders, I just read that they were to the south, but it can be changed.

RCK- Vikings to the North? Sure thing!

I guess I'm going to go do a little modding to the map now.

Thanks for the suggestions.

EDIT- Ok, I have moved the Vikings North, switched the Crusaders with the Shadow Knights to put them under the KK1 guys. I have also included some islands all about. (Including the KK2 'Jellybean islands'

)

We know crusaders are amassing at the BF border, why would the ninjas/samuri let them? Furthermore, shouldn't the ninjas be more disconnected seeing as they are a different sort of faction. You mentioned giving the pirates territory, but if they're pirates wouldn't they have a few small islands at the most? I personally feel the vikings should have off land property as well and only a little bit of captured land in the north.

Edit: One more thing, there are no phones. How can the Crusaders have another province so far up north. Same goes for the jellybeans, their islands have to be close enough for easier communication.

Guys, guys...

...in order for something to be on the map, it has to be in the roleplay FIRST. Any maps made at this time should only cover what we already have already written in the roleplay. So if you want the Vikings to have an island, then mention it in one of your posts. The map should suit the roleplay, not the other way round.

Good point Sir Kohrn. I'm just saying logically what would be where on this map. However I don't entrirely agree with you, we shlould have an outline of where the factions are. Maybe if we can all discuss where we would like each faction to be just as we have with the Crusaders, BFs, KK1ers and Vikings.

Not to be a know-it-all but as a veteran of the old roleplay I fully agree with Sir Kohran. That´s the way RPs should work in all ways, be it maps, backstory, culture, language etc etc... nothing should be decided in these kinds of thread, it´s all about improvising in the IC thread.

Love and peace

(Oh, and I might join someday... keep your eyes open

EDIT: It seems I did join...

Very good points made by the veterans.

I've updated here a bit. I went through and read the current roleplay posts and kept in the places we have been to.
I know, I kept the boudries the same as before. But I just wasn't sure what to do about that.

The little black dots and marks are just tiny references of the towns and places that have been played at.
Also, if you didn't already guess. The black area is just un-played-in territory.

Let me know what needs change or what all and I'll gladly fix it.

~Amanda

PS-Great to have you join us Maedhros!

He too was accused as a contact outside of the castle's armory and therefore also chose to join the others.

I should really hook Lokr up with some other characters...

EDIT: New character, Forestman for a change.

Character's Name: Jarvis "Jarv" o'Fulmarch
Character's Age: 21
Character's Information: Jarvis was born and raised in the town of Fulmarch, in the Forestmen part of the Northern Forests. From when he was four, Jarvis had the ability to communicate and understand animals. Teased by local Forestman kids because of his love of animals and thin build, Jarv joined the druid academy at the age of only thirteen, passing the entrance exam with a mark of perfect. After only two years he became an acolyte, and by age seventeen he was a full-blown druid. In the four years since then, Jarvis has taken care of many creatures of the forest, and travelled far and wide in the Northern Forests. He does not know much of other ecozones, though.
Character's Faction: Forestmen
Character's Place in Hierarchy: Druid
Character's Equipment: Herbs of various uses such as healing, pain, and food, wooden druid staff with esoteric symbols, longbow with quiver and arrows, ritual knife
Other: Jarv is a young, eager, and enthusiastic man, which can sometimes make him annoying, but he is a great person. Sometimes he cares more about animals and trees than people, though. Jarvis likes to turn into an eagle and fly above the forests from time to time.
Character's Looks: This is he...though he is missing his longbow.

Grumble. The other rpg ended way too soon, I just started on it. This does seem very popular though...

Character's Name: Garland the Black
Character's Age: 40 something.
Character's Information: Garland was an acomplished paladin of the Crusaders, but left to pursue his own ways. He is a right hand to the Black Monarch and works to unite the factions into a single empire of the Black Knights.
Character's Faction: Black Knights
Character's Place in Hierarchy: Baron, with knight training.
Character's Equipment: Sword, armor
Other: Garland is stern, pushy, and does not enjoy being bothered. He prefers to work alone, but other characters are free to join up with him for humor's sake.

But with a blue cape.

I think it comes from one of the Star Wars sets, perhaps the big Clone tank.

That's right! The BARC speeder features two like that, and two more with a slightly different design. I was a bit of a SW freak and it was some of my own first lego. Unfourtunately my little brother decided to wreck my Juggurnaut and AT-TE, it got me more into castle though
