This roleplay is based off the Old World of my game in progress, the Iron Gate. The Old World is the original world before the Sun Plate was created. It is a grassy, foresty continent, with impassable mountains to the east. Monsters and crime are abundant, and surviving alone is a little tough. I'm not going to reveal the main storyline just yet. That has to wait... happy.gif

Here's how to start playing.

EXAMPLE: Here's my character.
Name: Neil
Age: 22
Race: Human
Build: Agile, strong leg strength, tall, medium arm strength.
Class: Rogue

Bio: An orphan abandoned in the woods by his parents. Grew up by experience, learning to be agile, and training himself to be a skilled rogue. He travels the woods, meeting with adventures that he finds.

GAME
Neil walked through the woods, keeping his eye out for Flaxnav bushes. He was hungry. Luckly, as he turned the corner, he struck gold. A whole patch of Flaxnav berry bushes. "Jackpot!" He yelled, rather loud. He grabbed a handful of berries and wolfed them down in a heavy state of bliss. Suddenly, he heard a rustling in the bushes. Cautiously he hid and examined the bushes. He recognized the culprit of the sound immediately.
Pumas.
Neil drew his sharp rogue's knives he had stolen from a local town armory.
"Bring it on you prissy little felines!"

If you don'tmind, I think you could dowith a bit of advice, just to help you make this RP as great as it could be.
First off, you're really gonna want to explain the "World" for us. Your description is VERY vague, so unless we've actually played your game, we won't know anything about the lands we're Roleplaying in. Also, to let us create our own race is really risky, as it could heavily unbalance the Roleplay since someone could easil create a severely overpowered race.

Also, you should really explain the Classes in the RP. So far, the only class we know about is the rogue class, and that's only because you chose it. And, you should explain how magic works. Does it run out? Do we die if it runs out? Does it recharge at all? Is there any way to recharge it without having to wait for it? None of this has been explained.
And finally, I can understand, and respect that you don't want to revea, the plot, but we need to know more about our characters' motives, and why we're teaming up together, otherwise, the story will end up about as good as Super Mario Brothers tongue.gif

Also, you really should create two threads, a sign up thread and an actual role play thread. Wait until some people join before you actually start the roleplay wink.gif
but most importantly we need storyline

Religion is something you should take into account. If there is a sun plate, then people generally worship stuff like that. And that puts into the context of gods. Are they in the world?

Then, talk about the general era of the world at hand. From what I can work out, it is comparable to the Americas pre-invasion. And you seem to have a poor mix so far of monsters and playable people. I mean orcs and pumas? Orcs are generally large green brutes with a bloodthirst unmatched. And pumas are little black things that can jump and scratch like a b***ch, but do NOT attack things they cannot beat (animal biology XD).

Again, letting new races into a RP can be disastrous unless very obvious collection of meanings for them. Even werewolves and elves are dangerous things to use.
Elves can be like Lord of the rings ones ; with point ears, long and slender models of beauty (supposedly, the king still looks like a fag). Others can be like Dragon Age elves ; small little rogues that are outcasts which have dirty faces and tiny tiny tiny hands.
