New BB- Estershadow (The Five Kingdoms)

[Shadow Chorus]

Meh. It'll still probably be my favorite race out of all of them either way. You can't beat epic beards. 

[Angie]

Okay, Angie. This is going to take me awhile to answer all of your questions, so I am going to do this bit by bit.

Hey, no problem. There's no great rush.

I am going to refrain from comment in this thread until you're finished so as not to fill it up with a lot of babble and nonsense and, in addition, analyze the world as a collective entity before giving serious feedback.

Merely posting a declaration of interest.

Also, would magical talent be common, rare, only available to the scholarly? Or have I misread? 

[Faidth]

Magic would be VERY rare, however, those few who could use it would be revered in some societies and vilified/hunted in others. There will be a post on some of the more well-known magic users, and how "magic" basically works in this setting. However, at this point, none of the player characters will be permitted to be magic users.

[Skwhy]

That's about in line with what I expected. Thanks for the clarification.

[Faidth]

Yeah, I'm trying to keep this BB more in line with a "quasi-historical fiction setting" and less high fantasy, though there are certainly at least a few fantasy elements.

[Faidth]

School ends next week, and as such, I will finally be able to commence the Estershadow BB for those who are interested. Over the next two weeks, I will continue to post information relevent to the setting and put up a post for character generation.

[Faidth]

The character generation guidelines are available for your use. If you intend on participating in the Estershadow BB, please PM me ASAP so I know who is playing.

Just throwing it out there:  I'm going to be making a stealthy thief/smooth talker/dirty fighter/drug addict from Coldview.  If anybody wants to collaborate our character histories together, I'm 100% open to any ideas you might have, and I think it'd be cool to have somebody else my character knows pre-game. 

PM me if anybody's interested, and if you want to talk at length, I'd be glad to provide a number or get on Skype or Ventrilo.

[Archdemon Stu]

Is this still going to happen?  I haven't heard anything from anybody about it who was originally interested.  I was looking quite forward to it. XD

If so, I'm going to rewrite what I have of my character history to be a little more compact and consistent, and probably won't involve another person's character anymore since I haven't heard from them for about a month.

[Faidth]

I have merely been patiently waiting for players to submit their characters. I had hoped to get this going weeks ago, but no one has posted characters yet and I can't do anything until they do.
