Adventures in the land of Aurodo!
Presently, FantasyIRC is accepting characters for adventures in East Vinght, the Forgotten Region. Denizens of Oldpost, wayward travellers, misguided treasure hunters and more are welcome to submit their character ideas within the Character Bios subforum. Please read the template fully; we wish you the best of luck!
The Template
Name ~ Your character's given name, accompied by an optional nickname. Syntax ~ Mark Fordsmith, Marked Man
Age ~ The years your character has thus far endured.
Appearance ~ Height, build, complexion, eyes, hair.
Role ~ Your calling in life.
Temperament ~ Typical attitude; snarker, obnoxious ditz, boy scout?
Dream ~ This would be an underlying drive for your character. Slay a demon lord, see a dragon, spank a princess?
Bounty ~ 0-$5000. I'm sure you've pissed somebody off. Having '0' just means it hasn't happened... yet.
Secret ~ Another optional field. Maybe your character just likes to be naked, or maybe punishment is a reward in itself. What do you mean you aren't really a prince of Notaplacistan?
Chronicle ~ Your life thus far has lead you on a dizzying path of odds and ends. You knew you shouldn't have slept through that test, but somehow you just didn't think that a blacksmith's hand would be so exhausting as he spent the better part of last night whipping your bottom. But now, things are problematic. You've got to reflect on how you have reached this point, and not just because you are blushing on both ends. There might be something important, perhaps a clue to your destiny in these words.
Gear ~ Your trusted tools of the trade. Your father's stolen sword and shield, your brother's cape, and your mother's lucky panties which you wear for good luck all go in this field.
Talents ~ The skills that pay your bills. Magic, narrative endurance, the ability to take fifteen shots of Jager without vomiting.
Augmentations ~ Will be added later based on what happens.

Town History:
The humble town of Oldpost was built over a few centuries ago during a time when Bosporre sought to expand into Eastern Vinght and control the province. Those times have passed, and Oldpost lives under salutary neglect. Although times have been tough for Oldposters, faith in hard work and family have kept the community alive and resulted in a religion based on a minor scythe-wielding deity called Father Harvest. The people are literate but somewhat superstitious--a trait no doubt inspired by the heavy mists and mysteries of the otherwise abandoned region.
As a small colony, the town was at first situated near the Forest River. The length from Bosporre, however, quickly established a need for the town to be self-sufficient; thus, farmland was cultivated in advance, and the town structure was pre-planned around a market street. A government was appointed by Bosporre to ensure the safety of the town from lawlessness and the town square had constructed a punishment post in the center of town for this very purpose. As fermentation practices were developed, a tavern cropped up, and as technology become more sophisticated, tradelines were established. The Bosporre Checkpoint was constructed to protect the small line of trade between Oldpost, Catille D'Or, and Bosporre, but bandits have disrupted trade in recent years. Oldpost's faith in perseverence rather than confrontation has lead the town to gradually stagnate as a result.
