Roleplay

[center][img]http://i.imgur.com/1FiKacQ.png[/img][/center] [img]http://i.imgur.com/Y8G4aip.png[/img] [columns] [b]applications are CLOSED[/b] Thank you for your interest in HMNI! We are not accepting new applicants. [color=white][s]Post your name, a little bit about yourself and the character you'd like to bring into the game. Acceptance is on a first-come, first-serve basis. I will personally review, then confer with the group. [i]We do not accept same-breed dragons, please check the roster below.[/i] If accepted, your darling will receive [i]one mystical crystal[/i] and [i]a prophecy[/i]. Be sure to read HMNI from the beginning to understand the influence that these may have on your character. Even if they attempt to reject the crystal and ignore the prophecy, they will find themselves naturally drawn to it as if it were a piece of them, as well as a piece of something much bigger. You may have to wait at least one round before your introduction can be made. I assure you that I will work as quickly as possible to make it happen.[/s][/color] [b]Purpose of This Thread[/b] The purpose of this thread is for strict OOC communication. If y'all need to chat out of character, please try to bring it here and remember to ping who you need to speak to. If you have any questions, you can also ask here.

My Name Is... (HMNI) [/i] is a [b]present tense, prose[/b] role-playing game and writing group that follows the path of several, unfamiliar dragons that are brought together by a strange note leading them on a trail of clues in search of the [i]'grave mistake made in blood'[/i] and possibly their own destinies... [b]The Story So Far...[/b] • Palamiirym, Frisk, Riko and Mairon arrive at the ceremonial obelisks deep within the Fortress of Ends per a mysteriously enticing note. Upon receiving their prophecies from the runes of the obelisks, a mystical crystal is presented to them.

My name is Pann and I've been role-playing for over 13 years now. I am a journal-based player on [url=http://www.dreamwidth.org/]dreamwidth.org[/url] for the better half of 10 years now. I am more than happy to share my writing tips and experience with anyone who would like to better their own creative writing. I've been a DM/GM for several RPG groups over the last few years. The way I play is pretty simple: • Palamiirym is only to help me move along the plot. Her posts will also consist of other NPCs or activating events that will guide the fellow dragons where they need to go. • You can also contribute to the plot by asking questions/appearing curious about the surroundings to which I can give more details regarding the environment. You might find something useful! • On that note, be careful of taking too much control over the actions of the environment. While I don't discourage it (touch all the things!), it doesn't help me get you in the right direction if you change or create major events without letting me know first. • If you have any ideas or requests, please ask me. I'm always open to new ideas! [/columns] [img]http://i.imgur.com/Y8G4aip.png[/img] [columns] [b]Tag (Post) Length & Quality[/b] ( Encouraged, Not Strictly Enforced. ) If you feel like you're struggling to get more than a few sentences at least leave enough for other players to respond to, whether it be a question or simply a moment of internal discussion. Alternatively, if you feel like the players haven't given you enough to work with, you can come here to ask them to give you something else, or simply allow your darling to change the conversation— I'll leave this at your discretion. In the rare case no one can decide what direction to take the scene, I can provide more information to work with in Palamiirym's next tag. As a note, I would prefer (though don't at all strictly require) that the use of strike-outs and emoticons in-game be limited, if not removed entirely. There is a slew of vocabulary I believe could help express your darling's emotions that shouldn't be cheated with by using emoticons. I want this game to be an opportunity to learn away from habits and into a more 'professional' writing format that you can perhaps use later on down the road! You could think of this, in a way, as a writing group to share and learn new methods of writing. Please wait your turn to tag back to the thread. Excessive pinging is impatiently unnecessary! D: Ping them once after a day or two, just in case they had a real world situation occupy them. If after [i]five days[/i] there isn't a tag back, I'll jump in to move along the plot. If they again miss their next turn in similar fashion, I'll remove them from the game.

@Panndemoniuum Hey, I'm Heartmane! Toriel works as well. I've been RPing for around five years on internet forums, Skype, and more recently on sites like Storium (though I've never been part of a DnD campaign). I rarely get to indulge in prose-heavy RP, so I'm excited to be part of this! I'm GMT+9 (16 hours ahead of FR time) and will usually be able to post several times a day. [center][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=17965747] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/179658/17965747_350.png[/img] [/url][/center] Frisk is a solitary adventurer who ventured from the Leviathan Trench in search of a cure for their Clan. They're friendly enough, preferring to act as peacekeeper for stronger personalities, but they tend to act independently, easily wandering off in response to new distractions. They seem to be haunted by a irritable [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&tab=dragon&id=10262&did=17903952]ghost[/url] which only they can hear.

@panndemoniuum ooh, ok, I'm intrigued (and thanks @Saphelle for the roping-in!) Hi, my name's RaisingCain, and I'm fine with either that or Cain! I've been roleplaying for a couple years on Tumblr, by email, and on forums (oh yeah, and one really memorable LARP'ing). I'm usually FR+3 but I work weird hours, so I'm on every day but at unpredictable intervals, sorry. . . ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ [b]Character of choice:[/b] [font=gabriola][size=6]Mairon[/font] Mairon is a sorcerer, weaponsmith, and strategist known for being untrustworthy and manipulative. He wields various fire magicks and can cast illusions with his appearance and voice. He is a strong leader, but in the sense that he dominates those he leads; he functions by charming and misleading those he can't outright beat. He is alternately hated and ignored by the dragons of his clan faction, but almost everything he does can be traced back to a devotion to [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&tab=dragon&id=112692&did=9339042]the faction warlord[/url]. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=12717875] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/127179/12717875_350.png[/img] [/url] [i](he is an unabashed fan-dragon, in case that might be a problem?)[/i]

Hey nerds! It's a pleasure to meet you all. Thanks for the rope-ins @Saphelle, I appreciate seeing so many people interested in this already.

Everyone's darlings look amazing, I'll apologize ahead of time that I haven't put too much into Palamiirym. (Can you tell by how naked she looks? Goodness!) I'm still fairly new to the FR-realm so hopefully this campaign will give me a better idea on her character.

I've updated the tagging order, and Saphelle is good to start. Following that will be @Toriel and then @RaisingCain.

With that said, I want everyone to get their first posts in to allow our darlings to mingle a little before the story rolls off. By then I'll also know what important plot-information to share with which players, based on character personality/history! We'll probably go around twice (or more) before Palamiirym reveals anything pertaining to plot.

Side note: While I encourage more in-depth tags, though if you feel like you're struggling to get more than a few sentences, at least leave enough for the next player to respond to and that'll be good. Alternatively, if you feel like the player before you hasn't given you enough to work with, you can either come here to ask them to give you more, or allow your darling to change the conversation— I'll leave this at your discretion. In the rare case neither of you can decide how to take the post, I can give you more information to work with.

Again, this is an experimental process and I'm here to listen and help. If you have any questions/suggestions about where to go or what to write, please feel free to let me know and I'm more than happy to work with you!

( as an aside, @raisingcain has an amazing format for their rpg and I'm totally amazed! i hope that HMNI will look that great someday! )

@panndemoniuum I don't know what makes me happier, that you peeked in on my RP or that we're all nerds here :,) [img]http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5msm7qJP21qbfgm3o1_400.gif[/img] [s]the only other thing needed to make my day is if your username comes from Paradise Lost? *crosses fingers*[/s]
