I have an idea for a small little nation but I'm curious if anyone else would be interested in joining - whether a part of some higher part of the hierarchy or just in the place itself. Dark, shrouded island - a place of monsters in the wilderness, and refined monsters in the city. Dark horror, vamps and wraiths and necromancers. Also, another city that's bandit heaven - where anything can be possible from black market to shady man to man dealings. This is just a rough idea at the moment.  |

Eli Nightshade
Dedicated
Always up for a quest!
Roleplay posts: 155 
Age: 21
Physical Description:
Eli has since grown into the new world and as she understands and uses her magic she matures both physically and mentally, she is of above average height and has long fiery red hair which complements her bright Azul eyes. Her mother had described them as a vessel that had captured a lightning storm at sea, bright, beautiful yet full of danger.
She has a relative petite body in an hourglass shape which is still developing into its form, some would describe her as athletic and elegant in posture and gait.
Eli now has several 'runes' of power marked on her skin.
Clothes and Equipment: ===============================
She doesn't wear the traditional clothes of a witch, mostly because she hates her lineage and instead adopts a more roguish look with almost knee-high brown leather boots, her good luck brown and white striped knee high socks which have since torn and a more practical dress, something a huntress would wear not an upcoming witch. She also wears a two-tier necklace which carries her power-stone, at current one jade and one smoky gray stone sit in their case as she has yet to master warrior magic.

I like the idea, I can see Eli accidentally ending up her at somepoint especially if she continues to accompany Kelly and even more so if she starts growing into her powers the dark twist could be a learning curve for her!

I'd be interested, though it depends exactly how it's done. I have one or two places similar to this in the lore of some of my character's anyway so it would be interesting for them to mix. The issue is that making a nation successful is very time-consuming and requires a lot of attention and perseverance and it might be better to start off with a location thread first.

But last time we tried a dark rp it took too long to create and never started. I would recommend a concise idea that allows lots of players to add onto.

The mountaintop guardian shadows his lands...
Roleplay posts: 380
Age: 1023 Years
Physical Description: Size (At standing pose): Height: 39 feet at the shoulder, Length: 104 feet
Eye color: Yellowish-White
Scale color: Light Blue, reflects a dull White in direct light
Dragon Species: European Dragon
Dragon Type: Chromatic
Dragon Color: Blue
http://i.imgur.com/Ba7kzgX.jpg
As a storm dragon, his hide and flesh can generate an electric charge passively when threatened, much like an eel, and can naturally and instantly release it upon being touched by a foreign organism or object.
As a human he takes the appearance of a man in the age range of forties to fifties, averagely built besides being a few inches taller than the average Joe and dressed in clean leather armor and worn blue cloths.
Clothes and Equipment: Two small leather pouches tucked under wings
He owns his father's ancestral unique magical scale mail. It is enchanted to break on impact and the shards return his body and reform into a different piece of armor until it is struck, then it repeats the steps.
A set of personal shoulder pads forged by Brock the forge master. It focuses the passive electricity in his hide into a beam of magic energy which blasts away targets.
Weaponry: Claws, Breath Attack (Lightning), and Bite
Treasure Hoarding: Minimal, mainly gems sometimes gold.
While as a human, he wields a magical long-sword, not much is known about his weapon, as he rarely uses it.
Allegiances: Isra (Loosely)

The closest thing we had to this was Goraia, until the Isranian pricks sat on it and smothered it with it's cheeks of subjugation.

I'm working on the layout as we speak - placing threads, writing descriptions, picking up pictures, setting up the government, making images. If anyone has any ideas or something they MIGHT want to see or request, then by all means speak up or PM me.

Anyone had any ideas or requests for threads to add in to the setting? Even though little is know about general setting, I'm open to ideas.

Brother Heinrich von Schaufen
Established
Roleplay posts: 44
Age: 35
Physical Description: An average knight of average height and weight, with some added muscle - a result of the Brotherhood's hard conditioning. Heinrich stands 5'11 and weighs 190 lbs. He has dark blue eyes and short black hair, with chinstrap facial hair. He has a clear and generally cheerful expression.
**********
Clothes and Equipment: Heinrich wears chainmail armor, although it is a lighter type than what most Brothers wear. It covers his shoulders, torso, and area below his waist. Heinrich prefers speed and agility over a tight defense. Leather gloves, steel-plated leather boots, and leather leggings cover the rest of his body. A white surcoat hangs over his person, emblazoned with the black cross. When not fighting he wears a white cloak draped over his body.
Heinrich's round shield is made of wood, with metal lining. This is not like the other Brothers, who prefer heavier heater shields and tower shields. Heinrich finds the shield gives him enough protection against arrows and conventional melee weapons, while also allowing him to move freely about.
He carries a practical steel sword which is slightly shorter and thus lighter than other swords.
When necessary he carries a crossbow, bolts, dagger, and a lance.

I was wanting to try this before, but like others have said it never took off. I am still interested in the idea, but I do not want to be the main host. |

Badger
Committed
Roleplay posts: 81
Age: 108
Physical Description: As nearly as he can tell, Badger is more than a century old, but appears to be in his mid-30's from the human perspective. He stands at a stocky 3'4, and has a muscular frame. A crop of pinkish-purple hair on his head is normally covered by a hat, and his white, toothy, segmented grin is always on display. Big ears, green eyes, and a bulbous nose give him the obvious look of the classic gnome.
Clothes and Equipment: If Badger is not working (that is to say performing) he can normally be spotted in his normal old street rags; a brown coverall type garment with a ratty shirt on underneath. He always has a trick or two tucked in his pockets, and is very fond of short blades.

From what little I can gather about this most recent idea, one really big improvement I think @helmfirth's idea has over what Brother Heinrich just linked is that its not necessarily centered on vampires specifically (which the other idea appears to have been). With the obvious caveat that you can't type the words "dark fantasy setting" all in a row without provoking images of vampires, I think its a big step up to not couch the entire idea in the box-standard vampire count trope.

I'll admit vampires will be a big part of it, but the place isn't going to be centered around them. Or rather, I'ma try not to.

Nakatani
Dedicated
Roleplay posts: 389
Age: 20
Physical Description: Nakatani used to be a Meiko (apprentice geisha) in Katashima. Currently she is in service of Lord Genji. She has a cute and small rounded face and long black hair, usually knotted in the old Geisha styles.
---------------------------------------------------
Clothes and Equipment: Nakatani is almost always found wearing beautiful and elegant kimono's made of high quality silks and other fabrics.
When in the comfort of her own home, she will wear her hair down or in a ponytail with a natural look and a simple linnen kimono to keep herself comfortable, but she will rarely show herself that way in public.

Okay a bit of an update - I've returned to work full time after a hiatus and dealing with being sick. So I may be a little lacking for a couple of days until I get back into the swing of things - but I'm still working on the idea as much as I can. Sorry for the delay.
