We miss you Anna! :( =Depths of Desert Mountain=

Introduction
With Annacaza gone and therefor unable to moderate the original Roleplay (along with an inexplicable time gap of two weeks), it has been decided that a new Roleplay is probably the way to go.

I'll be moderating this one mainly through messages and post deletion (although I do hope that it wont come to that).

The Backstory and Important Information
This is set in the first map, and there is no islands in swimming, sailing, or flying distance. Keep to the 14 islands.

People and Tribes
There are three main tribes: '''The Paradise Tribe '''The Magma Tribe '''The Mainland Tribe

The paradise tribe is a small group of 5 to 10 people who live a good life, with lots of pies and juices, as well as formidable carpentry abilities, however they lack weaponry beyond a few iron spears and an iron sword possessed by their leader. Their initial response to an attack is to try and find out if they can bribe the attacker to go away. They are very paranoid around people they don't know, and will accept new people into the tribe if they can help in some way.

The magma tribe is a medium sized tribe of around 15 people, and lives off food bought from other tribes. They host a multitude of skilled warriors and assassins, along with expert smiths. Their weaponry includes specially manufactured crossbows, mithril swords, and the leader of the tribe boasts an impressive bluesteel greatsword. They're hostile towards unknown visitors, however do not raid without good reason ("Waste of good bolts.")

The mainland tribe is a massive tribe of 50-60 people, who are experienced stone masons and miners, and have used masses of stone to build incredible temples, statues, and other monuments. The workers have created gangs to protect themselves from the muggers and theives, although this has gotten out of hand and the island is largely "Claimed" by various gangs. Their weaponry ranges from mithril swords purchased from the magma tribe, to crude bows fashioned in the free time of the lower ranks. They often trade with nomadic soloists and the magma tribe, and occasionally buy massive amounts of food from the paradise tribe in exchange for iron tools.

There is also a multitude of soloists, most notable being a trained assassin who wanders the bento area, assassinating targets in exchange for large quantities of gold.

Rare Materials
To avoid issues with people having to be extremely vague about mithril mining, bluesteel creation, and other hidden things, I'm changing the locations of them. Mithril is found at: A dark cave at spire, with the entrance located where the two veins of gold are found. The cave lynx nest at magma. The tribe have a special miner who mines it while wearing a thick suit of full body bluesteel armour. The inside of desert mountain, although nobody knows that because there is no way in and the rock is almost unbreakable. Chromium is found at: The Rockma Island iron cave. The end of the Plateau cave parkour. Atop Magma Island. Bluesteel is a hidden recipe known only by the magma tribe. All the mushroom locations were exhausted of mushrooms and deathwater, the only mushrooms existent are those that are farmed by the Mainland Tribe.

Desert Mountain
Trying the concept of a theme, this one being desert mountain.

Desert mountain is made of desert sandstone, an almost unbreakable rock which is light and strong, making it by far the best substance for tools, housing, bolts, or anything really. The catch is that nobody has the foggiest idea on how to separate it from the mountain, and smith it into a tool, as it's far too hard to be smashed even with bombs.

Inside the mountain is the fortune of the spire god. Legends state that a mighty practitioner of black and light magiks, and hid away their fortune inside the mountain, with an enchantment which created a slow trickle of all their wealth, which has gathered greatly over the past eleven and a half centuries. There are also a large number of magik nodes inside the mountain, which can be seen from the outside using powerful magiks.

Magik
Realism gets boring after a while. Let's see how long we can have magik before someone decides to godmod and wreck the entire tribe of mainland.

Magik is a mysterious art which revolves mainly around gathering magik energy, storing it in a wand (or orb, depending on how much you want), and using a wand to cast a spell. As a minor precaution for godmodders, wands require a core of teraphyx dust to use as an anchor for the magik energy. Orbs require a golden base to hold the larger amounts of energy they contain.

The rest however, is up to you.

Rules and Guidelines
My rules are less strict than Anna's, however this may be subject to change should I find people abusing this fact.

Basic Rules

 * 1) All wiki and wikia rules apply. I'm sure there will be no hesitation from our admins if you break any of them.
 * 2) I wont stand for profanity. As said by our admins: "Hell" is fine, as it is not really a "swear" word, but everything else is not allowed here.
 * 3) No Godmodding. This is what ruined the first Roleplay. If your killing more than five people in a single post, you're almost certainly godmodding. I'm going to be very strict about this rule.
 * 4) When posting, try to keep your posts from becoming massive, as nobody wants huge page loading times. Short posts are fine (especially during dialog), however don't rush the story forwards.
 * 5) Nothing remarkably depressing and morbid. Similar to how I don't want to see the writhing and mangled body of a man subject to torture by burning oils and coals, I don't want to read a detailed ten paragraph long description about it either.
 * 6) The same goes for characters with extremely depressing pasts that are constantly referenced. It's just depressing to read.
 * 7) I wont allow constant bad grammar and spelling. If I struggle to figure out what your trying to say, I will take action.

Story Rules

 * 1) You cant smooth talk your way into being best friends with magma's leader, nor persuade the assassin to do your bidding. If you gave them something valuable maybe they would trust you more, but it becomes a problem when people just walk straight into the main superpower, and become co-leader.
 * 2) There are no admin tools/unobtainium, etc.
 * 3) The leaders of the tribes are not claimed by anyone, and the first person to start using the character can describe his/her personality
 * 4) If you want to put something out of context, use italic formatting. Don't use it excessively though.
 * 5) If there is a large event that will affect everyone in the roleplay (i.e demolishing a tribe), you must clear it with me first (on my message wall), and then a poll will be set up in the Current Events heading below. It will be up until everyone that is part of the Roleplay has voted, or until over half vote for one option, and action will be taken accordingly.
 * 6) Only the creator of a certain character can decide to kill him/her off. This fits in with the "no god-modding" rule. This isn't an excuse to just swallow bolts and sit on bombs without a scratch however. No godmodding.
 * 7) Repect the time of day. This is in place to stop the story from moving too fast.

Realism
This isn't a particularly strict rule, and one that can see a lot of manipulation owing to magik. Crafting should be logical and realistic however, and if I want to make a powerful invention, it cant just be "Ok, I stick a burning coal to the end of my crossbow, and now my bolts will be flaming bolts and burn entire war fleets to the ground."

Joining Information
To join, send me a message on my message wall including your character application form, or post it on the thread. I will notify you if your form was accepted, and add it to the character list.

Name: Age: Gender: Other: Most people shouldn't need to use the "Other" section, as traits and past experiences should be in your posts. If your a mad scientist who hates sand, include that in your post, not your form.

Current Time of Day: of day
