From the Realms of Chaos

I've seen this on alot of other forums and i figured why not here? im working out the details but how about a Text RPG?

For writers like me its a fun way to think on the edge and interact wih others, for other people its just a different way to participate.

So what do you guys say? If I create the background to this thing, would you be interested in this?

Uhh..let's all play DnD over the TeamSpeak or something! lol...then use another program to roll dice with! Hmm...I wander if anyone has ever came up with this idea! If not...I should talk to one of the lawyers at work and put a patent on the idea! hehe

Text RPG is different you create a character and type your story... no dice... no stupid map just the background info of the land and the races, everything else is almost your own idea... there are a few rules. like.....


Name: Asirma'Nagul

Age: 30

Race: Farial

Personality: Asirma has a short temper, and often jumps to fighting for the answers. Respects those who hold some skill but trusts no one. Menatlly Unstable, at times, due to a unsteady past.

Abilities: Skilled in dual swords and two handed swords. Can throw daggers really well and has taught himself how to use a zhen, a weapon of his own creation. (may have some magic abilities do to his unnatural birth but little is known)

Equipment: Two "cursed blades" discovered deep in the Serium Desert Province. Throwing knives hidden about his person and a medium length two hander. Notible for the zhen slung across back from right shoulder to left hip. (A Zhen was a weapon he desined that is a combination of a bowstaff and a sword. It can be seperated into two blades or used as a single weapon. The blade is half the length of the full grip and is curved like ragging waves of the sea.)

Job: None. (Self-Exile)

Started: Edge of Serium Desert Province.

Appearance: Asirma is an anomoly to the Farial race. He was born with almost pitch black skin and snow white hair. Down his right cheek is a slash from his father's sword. His eyes are tinged crimson and appear to glow in the darkest of nights. He is strongly built and almost 6' 6" tall. Underneath his armor is a multitude of battle and self-inflicted scars. He is slightly stronger then the average warrior of his race.

Bio: Asirma'Nagul was born an unnatural birth on the night of the blood moon, a time of year when the full moon turns crimson and the stars dissapear from the sky. His skin was pitch black like the night and his eyes glowed like the blood moon itself. After several years in solitude, he ventured out one night in search of something to do. He encountered a female Farial along the rode and his appearence caused her to scream. Unsure of how to act or who she was he picked up several rocks and knocked her out and bound her to a tree. His father, in rage used his own blade and cut his face giving him his scar.... That night, Asirma killed his father and took his weapons, a two handed sword and several throwing knives. He fled in self-exile to the Serium Desert Province, where he trained on his own and improved his skills. After reaching the mountains edge he discovered the blades of Serinoth, suposed cursed blades of the forgotten. Seeing his path now open, Asirma'Nagul returns back to the lands with no family or group to welcome him.
*******************************

Asirma walked off the hard sands of the Serium Desert Province onto the rocky slope that lead back up to the living forrests of the land... It had been 23 years since he fled into the desert in self-exile. 23 years of stuggling to go on and to become stronger. 23 years of freezing nights and burning mornings, no middle ground only extremes. He was closed to others now, fighting was his comunication, only his way. During his wandering he had developed a psycological need for a challenge, and when there was none... he fought and injured himself.

He had explored deep into the desert, sometimes dieing of thirst or starvation, living on the barrest of essentials. When he finally reached the base of the mountains that had loomed on the horizon since he entered the desert, he discovered a hdden pathway that lead deep into the earth. After six days of blindly following the catacombs he discovered a chamber that was lit with an enchanted blue flame. In the center was a platform that held two blades, their dark metal glittinging wickedly in the light as their silver edge pulsed with the flames. The hilt was lined with gold and rubies were set into its grip. Behind the swords was another stone doorway, large and unmoved.

Inside was an ancient chamber fed by the magma that flowed deep within the mountains. Here he forged HIS weapon, one never seen before by the world. He called its form the zhen, an ancient word he knew that meant shifting, like the waves of the ocean in a storm. He called this zhen the Pure blade. It was crafted to be used like a bowstaff or two seperate swords. Their balance was directly opposite from the other blades. The words inscribed on the platform read: Serinoth. That name was of another Farial who, in legend, lead his race to glory before the alliance with the humans. It was said he went mad and sent his final crusade deep into the desert, in search of some greater foe. With the zhen and the cursed blades of Serinoth, Asirma'Nagul at last judged his training complete and his self-exile lifted. He headed back to the lands of the races.

And here he stood now looking over the forrests of the Serium Desert Edge. He was still far from any forms of civilization and he would most likly not run into anyone else. As far as he was concerned... that didn't matter. As he headed in the direction of his own choosing, a dark shadow followed from behind. It had been stalking him since he had stolen its weapon, since only the heir to the Serinoth blood line could use their true power.... and that one... was one of the six.

this is an example from another forum that will remain anonymous.

ALll the reqs were was to create a character, the stor from that part on is me decieding what i do. These things are basically Interactives where everyone brings their ideas into play. Not DnD style though.... that would be sadder....
