What?
Separate Paths is an experimental RtD. Characters are started separate from each other, with random inventories, and may or may not choose to interact. The world will have well-defined areas and paths, but the story is not set in stone.

Rules:
1. Don't be a ♥♥♥♥.
2. Stay in-character, don't metagame. (Reading other people's rolls and then using that info against them even if your character hasn't learned about it, for example.)
3. Please use proper language. Feel free to swear like a sailor, but don't spek laik dis.
4. I can change things at will, so please don't get too attached to anything.
And have fun! But that isn't a rule.


This is how your character should be formatted:

Example:


Character types:
- Arcana: You have a high affinity with magic. Learning, using, and creating magic spells and artifacts is natural to you. You can tap into local essence to regain mana.
- Brute: You are very strong and muscular. Lifting heavy objects is a piece of cake, and nobody wants to get in a close fight with you. They're too scared. You can also carry more in your inventory.
- Rogue: You stay in the shadows. You are sneaky and quiet, and can lie your way out of most situations. People notice you much less often.
- Ranger: You are a great shot. Shooting projectiles is your thing. You have a great aim and are very dextrous. You reload and fire ranged weapons much faster and can shoot farther than others.
- Adept: The workings of life make so much sense to you. You can easily interpret a high level of information and you learn faster than others. You quickly gain levels and sit at an accelerated level of intelligence. However, your broad amount of knowledge means you are not very good at any one thing, but average at many.
- Unkeen: You are an unfortunate one. You do not start with any obvious advantages in any fields of knowledge, and you level up slower. You are unassuming and average, but you can pick an extra ability and 2 more traits.

stone age
STONE AGE YOU ♥♥♥♥

STONE AGE

Needs dat originality.

no, seriously, you could create some really ♥♥♥♥ incredible stone age stuff

neolithic settlements
vast trade convoys
shamanism, theurgy, blood sacrifice, pantheons
strange, unexplored places
the rise of hateful civilization and its armies
a pervasive aura of disturbing secrets and ancient mystery
a nature to be feared and respected
things that come in the night
an entire untamed Earth at your feet, to light with bonfires and inherit for humanity's rule

Yar. Stone age sounds fun.

Can we mix in a fantasy element to the stone age? Like, dinosaurs and weird creatures and ♥♥♥♥.
If yes, Stone Age.

Stone Age sounds fun.

jup stone age!

Stunes.

Dinosaurs would be a bit ridiculous. There's a 62.5 million year time differential, and this isn't the Flintstones.

It would be cool if magic ran less on traditional wizards and more on blood ritual, flagellation, the invocation of gods, inborn psychic weirdness, and reality-warping enlightenment. Obtaining powers of any sort could be a brutal process, and might either destroy you or make you a living legend.

I assume that by voting you're all applying for the game?

Yup. The other RtDs I'm in don't get rolled frequently enough.

I penned you all down as in. So, stone age is the unanimous vote? Create your characters.
I may or may not make more classes. I think I will use this format for more RtDs in the future. (The character setup at least)

can we have a template or something to work off of?

i totally didn't notice harz' post
ill just let you all play anyway since i added foa but not harz and i dont wanna be mean or anything, youre all cool dudes

MAKE YOUR CHARACTERS SO WE CAN STAAART
