Magnus 200+


After reviewing and readin the comments on my previous Magnus200+ OOC, I reached to this conlusion for the RP and made the changes that I noticed and got from several RPiers who commented on that OOc. And it came to what I am to write.

Please note that this is just the sign up thread and some OOC. The RP itself will begin once there is more chance and free time to for RPiers that are now busy with other RPs and have more free time to participate.This is just the sign up to conclude and set everything ready for the right time.

These are the Elements that will be included in the RP.

1-Battles( Battle RP)
2-Enough Interactions
3-Romance
4-Realism

I have been trying to find a good topic. And the thought that, in order to have all of them. Having only one town or city, will not do the trick as an RP needs bigger environment than that. I came up with this. Enlarging the scale to a set of some provinces each with their own ruler/jarl/king and own militia and so on. And thought that it would be nice to make some fictional town names other than the already existing ones. So I kind of tamriel in a smaller scale. In my idea, the civil war that happened between imperials and Stormcloacks, caused a massive destruction in Skyrim provinces, holds and so on. and some other provinces appeared and are fighting/parlaying/ in this time. I dont want to jump right into the battle of control. no. I think starting from peoples lives and such and having peace for a period of time where RPiers can make their characters known to the other and grow their character is a beter idea. Like a simple RPier who is a guard working his way up the ranks and such. And thanks to great advices of several users of the forums. I decided to merge TES and LotR together.The onl difference will be that we dont have a "evil" and " good" side no. One kingdom or society may be evil to one of the main factions but good to the other or vice versa. So there is no Evil or good" specific faction except some subfactions that will be or can be made inside those kingdoms.
As it is the merge of these two, so we can have any race in the RP, even Orcs.
And this is going to be a realistic RP, RPiers can plan a conspiracy, spy for the enemy. or anything else tht may happen in real.

I want everything to be like real. I mean, inn, blacksmith, houses of city nobles, food, water, guard, army , and maybe even temple for prayers, spies, maybe some guilds. Everything.
One thing that I like to mention is that other than kings and maybe shopkeepers, no one else is that rich. or even slightly rich. So It wont be really realistic to have Ebony made swords and such. The inferior or weaker the equipments, the more realistic it gets.
This RP is kind of an open RP. I mean that, there is no line of action or RP. The RPiers make up the story as they go. So it is more realistic. You can peace with one or not. A civil war happening in your kingdoms It is all your choice.
You All know the rules. I just want to say one thing If you are going to make y9our character romance another ones, please do so by firstly acquiring the permission of the target RPier.
There will be three (three main factions)GMs just to prevent incidents and fights and help newcomers.

Lets cut to the chase.
I thought that having three main factions will be more than enough for the RP..
Here are the names of the kingdoms I came up with.
The High Kingdom
Union of Snotkids
Kingdom of Rifrun

The whole five area all together will be known as Magnus Falls and the Five main toutes that connections these five factions are called: Twilight, Gray Moon, White Road, Righteous path, and Dawning Sun

In each City, as in real, There are other subfactions like Thieves guild, and such,. So people can decide to make a subfaction of their own in a settlement or kingdom or be a bar owner or an Inn owner or other stuff. All can be done.

Also to prevent this RP from getting too vast, I decided to keep the main three factions as stated above. But, that does not mean you cant make your own factions. You can, within a reasonable amount subfactions within any of these three kingdoms and societies.

Also one other realism factor is age VS experience. What I mean is that a character with higher age, has higher experience in the thing he/she does, that i fighting or doing anything else. On the other hand as its downside, he is less agile and fast. For example a 40 year old warrior is more experienced but less agile than a 20 year old warrior. Or a 40 year old mage has higher experience and can cast harder spells easily but with the cost of a lot of energy whereas a 20 year old mage can cast the same spell with more effort but lesser use of energy

I have combined different regions of skyrim to cover the vbroadness of the said kingdoms and societies.
Not that when I say combination of this and that Jarling I only mean their main city. For example combination of Markarth and Solitude And Morthal only the main cites, their size combined will make the High Kingdom.

So as it is dire time after civil war. hardly good material and good stuff can be found and it is to dangerous to go for the search of them outside. So The logical conclusion will be that the weaponry and armor should be of the most easily found material that is Iron and Steel.




Base Story

Actually, there is no base story to it. But just to give a lue, The RP wont jump into battle right away. This will be an evolving RP. Meaning the kingdoms will start at peace inside their walls. RPiers enter their cities and pick up their rule, meet each other, interact with each other, work their way around and develop a nice story and after a while, slowly and slowly things will start changing and such. Remember, it is just a few years passed and New Kingdoms are gathering strength and improving for the future that is ahead of them. and in the future, the RPiers decide what to do with the kingdoms, themselves and the story.It is all up to the RPiers.






Kingdoms Description

The High Kingdom

The High Kingdom as Said above as an example, is Markarth, Solitude, and Morthal size combined together.. After the civil war when the war reached in nothing other than the skyrim being separated, These three stood together and formed a kingdom and named it The High Kingdom. Mostly because the High king was stationed in Solitude and Markarth and Morthal were the closest cities to it. The three city jarls agreed on choosing a king. and decided to start a kingdom a side from other parts of Tamriel and its other Kingdoms and bring peace and civilization back to their ranks and to expand if found the chance.
Open Spots:
King of The High Kingdom
Queen of The High Kingdom( optional)
Captain of Guards
commander o the army:
Guards
Commander of Army
Blacksmith:
Steward:(Optional)
Court wizard:(optional)

Feel fre to add subfactions.


Union of Snowkids

Union of Snowkids was formed after the civil war and it was in size as big as the combination of Windhelm, Winterhold and downstar combined. The three cities joined forces and called themselves Union of Snowkids Cause they were all in a place were Snow was a very routine phnomenon and their cities were covered in snow and it was cold. The three cities decided to pick a leader for themselves and call him The Father and their aim was to improve their living condition, gather strength and maybe go to take over all Skyrim.

Open Spots:
The Father
Second in command:
Advisor:
Commander of Archers
Personal bodyguard:
Blacksmith
store chamber supervisor
Court Wizard (optional)
Feel free to add reasonable subfactions that fit this Union.


Kingdom of Riftrun

Kingdom of Riftrun was formed after the civil war caused Skyrim to be separated into separate and different kingdoms. One of them was the Kingdom of Riftrun which its size was Whiteruns, Falkreath and Riftens size combined together. The three Cities became one and after a long and thorough Dispute they finally chose their leader and their king and swore to fight for their freedom and whoever wants to get that live a civilized and happy life, And to unite all skyrim that now was called Magnus which requited defeating the other two kingdoms.

Character spots
King of Riftrun
Queen of Riftrun( optional)
Captain of Guards(
Guards
Steward(optional)
Commander of Army
Blacksmith
Court Wizard( Optional)

Feel fre to add subfactions.

In each Kingdom and society you can any subfaction or position or role you`d like to the RP. For example almost all Kingdoms have Inns and blacksmith, you can be one if you like. Or you can organize a crime organization within any of the kingdoms that you like. I have notgiven any of the Kings or The Father the name as it is your character so you get to choose his name.

Note 2: As I said the addition of subfactions in a kingdom should be a reasonable amount.

Character Sheet:
Like always, we need a character sheet. Here is what RPiers need to fill and bring in their CS.

dude. you still can make that faction dont worry.
Se, you can add subfactions. and subfactions not always remain subfactions. ;)
how you are going to do that? use your imagination. Why not a rival faction or party with that name coming to existence through RP and some events related to one of the kingdoms of your choice through the course or roleplay?

Well, I was just giving my opinions to help you a bit. :) I can't join any roleplays for the moment since I'm already engaged in three and two of them are pretty open world like (OPAP and Valton). I don't see any of the roleplays I'm in ending soon. Sorry.
