Zemes Devinu(Original Dragonrider&Fantasy Roleplay)
Thread: viewtopic.php?f=28&t=892561
We currently don't have ANY players! And so far, there's no limit to how many can join, but it would be nice to at least have a few peple

Summarized Info:(View thread for full details)
Across the world are eight continents. The most powerful one is the lands of Zemes Devinu("Land of the Nine"), run by Emperor Daijoudan of the Sanryuu Imperial Family. In Zemes Devinu lie nine dieties at each corner of it's map: To the farthest north is the Eagle; to the Northeast is the mighty Polar Bear; to the East, the mountain-going Ram; to the Southeast, the Rat; traversing the great seas to the south, the Snake; to the Southwest coast and deserts, the tortoise; guarding the forests of Old to the West, the swift Deer; and to the Northwest tundra and mountains, the Dog.
At the center of it all lies a great slumbering volcano where the Dragon, the beast who’s magic created them all, slumbers, and at the top of it lies to Imperial Palace.
South of Zemes Devinu, across the Naga Sea and the Dragon's Teeth Oceanic Mountains, are the two continents, Hon'ren Mesta and Secro Tarn which were once connected to Zemes Devinu by land. Secro Tarn long ago established itself as an independent power, but Hon'ren Mesta is still partially controlled by the Sanryuu Empire. As of the last many decades, they too have wanted to be independant from the Sanryuu Empire now that they are no longer connected by land, the Hon'ren Resistance and Sanryuu Empire at war. Which is your side?
Rules of the Roleplay:
Before you join, read these!
1. Common sense. Don't godmod, powerplay, or kill off anyone else's characters without their consent. Don't turn what someone's character does in roleplay into a personal issue, it's just roleplay, it's pretend. Outside of roleplay, be polite and cordial if not directly nice, overt rudeness won't be tolerated.
2. There aren't many restrictions on characters...I'm open to just about anything! You can have a canine-shifter, a human, even a talking mini anthro animal or something(so long as they can interact with humans/humanoids! For the countries outside of Zemes Devinu, you can make up ANYTHING YOU WANT for the condition or circumstances of where they came from in the other countries(the ones that don't really have info). If you have any questions/details for what you want for a character in Zemes Devinu, Hon'ren Mesta, or Secro Tarn, simply PM me and ask! And please just make your characters at least a little serious, not just a character that's there to constantly get in the way and annoy people, and please no Mary-Sue's/Gary-Sue's.
3. Same with mounts, I don't have many restrictions, except that NO ONE can have a wingless asian white dragon with red fur/feathers, black dragon with blue fins/spikes/fur, or PURE silver dragon(Like any fur, feather, spike, fin combinations of these, or these with additional markings or wings; Black&Blue, Silver, White&Red). This is because they are believed to be directly related to the Dragon Dieties that are the symbol of the Sanryuu Family and those bloodlines are closely guarded and protected by that family. The only exception I'll make is if the character is a high rank in the Empire, in which case, talk to me first! I can make arrangements but this is to keep it so that not EVERYONE is doing that, trying to keep balance between character sides. Most people also don't have winged dragons in this, mostly those who have high authority/noble blood/etc. but that DOESN'T mean you CAN'T have one, it's just less likely your character will as they're good bloodlines that are worth a lot of money, and more often then not a status symbol.
4. You can have more than one character, just so long as you can keep up with them all. They don't all have to be on the same side either, it'd be even better if you had a character on various different sides if we do a scene change so you aren't left out!
5. Literacy please. DEFINATELY don't use chatspeak, and we won't chew you out for posting a three-liner, but the bigger and more literate the posts, the better! It should be even easier with more people playing to make a big post, since there's more going on with EACH character to respond to!
6. When RPing, if one person isn't on at the time, don't post a bajillion times without them. This forces people to play catch-up reading with tons of posts and can leave their character out, and then they don't know how to jump back in or explain their character's absence, or just flat-out feel left out and unimportant! It's okay to post a few times, like maybe 2 or 3 times each person in response, but after that, please use a little discretion and consideration!
7. You may use characters from pictures off Photobucket, or your own drawings, or use Flash Character Creators! Any of these are totally fine.
