This RPG places you in the shoes of a villain rather than a hero. And by a villain, I mean a brutish Orc out to pound your enemies to dust, a conniving Goblin looking to make your way among the more respected races, or a lumbering member of the Undead freed from the earth that once bound you.
Now, this will be handled very, very similarly to The Multiplying Villainies of Nature, which it is based on and can effectively be considered a companion RPG to, since they take place in the same world. Because of this, those on the stanby list for the aforementioned RPG have first dibs on a character in this one, and those already participating in it have last dibs. These dibs will be enforced, despite my distaste towards the word "dibs".
Anyways, be cool, be creative, be awesome, brutalize some heroes, and try to have at least a little bit of fun. We'll begin as soon as each class has been filled by a single character.
Name: [Fairly obvious, but your character must have both a given name and a surname - that is, first and last. Both must fit an evil fantasy setting; there will be more Saurons than Elronds or Johns.] Gender: [Male or female, quite simple really.] Age: [Orcs may be between 14 and 26 years of age; goblins must be between 6 and 12 years of age; the undead must have died between 16 and 32 years of age, but may have been dead for as long as you would like, within reason - let's cap it at about 50 years dead at most.] ---------- Appearance: [At least four sentences written in passable english. Use specific numbers for height and weight or I will add them myself, and you may not be happy with them.] Race: [Orc, Half-Orc, Goblin, or Undead. The Undead can have been in life a Human, Elf, Half-Elf, Dwarf, Orc, Half-Orc, or Goblin, but it must be specified or it will be assumed that they were Human.] Class: [Berserker, Soldier, Warlock, or Archer. I will only be accepting one of each.] ---------- Inventory: - [Leave this blank. I will fill it out based on your class.] Skills: - [Leave this blank. I will fill it out based on your class.] ---------- Equipped: - [Leave this blank. I will fill it out based on your class.]
Name: Balron Uthark Gender: Male Age: 30 ---------- Appearance: Balron is 3'5" tall, with light green skin and yellow eyes. He is not too far decayed, with chunks of flesh missing here and there from his body, and half his jaw rotted. He is thin, even for a Goblin. He has only a few wisps of long black hair left. Race: Undead Goblin Class: Warlock ---------- Inventory: - [Leave this blank. I will fill it out based on your class.] Skills: - [Leave this blank. I will fill it out based on your class.] ---------- Equipped: - [Leave this blank. I will fill it out based on your class.]

Is this ok?
Tis. We need only wait on the other three classes to be filled, now.
@The general population: Because those on the standby list for TMVoN have priority, anyone who signs up from this point until the RPG begins is liable to be replaced. The class Warlock is, however, taken, and so Legion1350 is safe from this, because he applied before anyone else and there are only three people on the standby list.
Name: Mort "the unseen" tark'hel Gender: Male Age: 11 ---------- Appearance: A bit smaller than a usual goblin. Has a bit of medium-long black hair, with one lock of hair over his right eye, and the rest bound in a ponytail hanging in the neck. Has a tiny scar above the right eyebrow (obscured by the lock of hair). He looks well fed, but not at all heavy. [I'll let you fill in the numbers, because I don't know lbs and stuff] Race: Goblin Class: Archer ---------- Inventory: - [Leave this blank. I will fill it out based on your class.] Skills: - [Leave this blank. I will fill it out based on your class.] ---------- Equipped: - [Leave this blank. I will fill it out based on your class.]
Name: Elyen Silverthorn Gender: Male Age: 32 ---------- Appearance: Blood stained bones weighing only 60lb for he is only bones. Sports a single rotten eyeball with the color of green for his iris. A height of about 6'4 in life, and approximately the same in death. Has uncommonly long fingers, and is missing many teeth. Race: Undead elf Class: Soldier ---------- Inventory: - [Leave this blank. I will fill it out based on your class.] Skills: - [Leave this blank. I will fill it out based on your class.] ---------- Equipped: - [Leave this blank. I will fill it out based on your class.]
I hope this is passable, as i didnt make it in to the other rpg.
Name: Gargamel Kiba Gender: Male Age: 18 ---------- Appearance: Gargamel is a little bigger than other Orcs. He has short black hair. His teeth are yellow, and some are even brown. He has big muscles. Race: Orc Class: Berserker ---------- Inventory: - [Leave this blank. I will fill it out based on your class.] Skills: - [Leave this blank. I will fill it out based on your class.] ---------- Equipped: - [Leave this blank. I will fill it out based on your class.]

No rogue? Also, I request having a knife belt.
Your sentences are for the most part fragments - for example, "a bit smaller than a usual goblin" isn't a complete sentence. It's a predicate without a subject, and not even a complete predicate. "He is a bit smaller than a usual goblin" would constitute a subject - "he", referring to mort - and a predicate - "is a bit smaller than a usual goblin", referring to the subject's (Mort's) state of being, which is in this case his stature. Just make the sentences into full sentences and I shall accept it. Everything else is fine.
Also you'll be happy to know that the archer does in fact get a dagger. But I decided against an assassin class, and didn't really feel like a rogue was suitable. I'm trying to give off the impression of a "dark army" here rather than a "questing party".

As I said to Mort_Kawasaki, everything is fine except the sentence fragments in the Appearance, which is coincidentally the same mistake you made in applying to TMVoN. Just make full sentences out of them and it'll be acceptable.

Well...I think I have a bad Orc name, so I want to change it ( if possible ) : Grarg Bruushnak
It is in fact possible to change the name. I'd like to see slightly more description in the Appearance, but it's fine as is. Unless Garriss (the only other player on the standby list) applies before all four slots are filled, you will be accepted.

With knife belt, I actually meant a belt for storing throwing knives.
Name: Elyen Silverthorn Gender: Male Age: 32 ---------- Appearance: Elyen has blood stained bones weighing only 60lb for he is only bones. He sports a single rotten eyeball with the color of green for his iris. He has a height of about 6'4 in life, and approximately the same in death.

I hope it works in the last sentance, as i shouldnt use he for all of them, and i want to stress he isnt quit man(or elf) anymore.

Ah. Well, you have a belt, simply because you are wearing pants and pants automatically come with a belt in high fantasy. And you could attempt to throw your dagger. As for throwing knives, search around, steal, loot your enemies' corpses. Buy them if you have to. But the classes are preset for the purpose of maintaining some vague semblance of balance.
@p1a2r3i4s5:
Oh come on! I see this, go do something for a while, and then it's full :S.
Can I at least be on the standby list or something?
I shall add you to the standby list immediately. There's actually been... a really surprising amount of interest in this. I don't plan on creating a third (because c'mon, considering the amount of typing that requires, my responses to each one would take far longer than I'd like), but if I do, you and the others on the standby list will be first in line.
Of course, if someone dies... *shrug* Just hope those who applied before you aren't careful enough in major battles. >:3

That's fine. I mean, I'm not sure the exact rules regarding it, and personally I prefer to remain consistent, but I'm fairly sure that's still proper english. Tis accepted.
@The general public: The RPG will begin shortly, I just have to respond to TMVoN and then finish typing up the introductory post for this thread.

TMVoN stands for The Multiplying Villainies of Nature. I thank you for your concern and am currently in the process of typing a response to it. Unfortunately I was stalled by lunch, but since that is now safely stowed in my digestive system, I shall be working fervently to allow you all to kill half a dozen drunken half-orcs.
@The general public: See above. None of you shall be forgotten.

The Dark Army had disbanded years ago. Really, its very existence had proved the manipulable nature of the so-called ignoble races - orcs, goblins, and the undead. But they weren't going to fall for the same tricks twice. Forced to take refuge in the frigid Icepeak Mountains, their once-grand cities reduced to rubble, the ignoble races sought vengeance.
Forming into bands of about four warriors had done wonders for the humans, elves, and dwarves. The inhabitants of the Icepeak Mountains decided that they, too, could benefit from forming such parties.
And as so many of these little groups meet, today two undead, a goblin, and an orc would find themselves locked in battle against an opponent that had once served them: a mountain troll.
Twelve feet tall and weighing upwards of a ton, this particular specimen was covered in a matted tangle of filthy mud-caked fur, hanging in disgusting dreadlocks held together by nothing more than sweat, blood, and dried mud. Serrated tusks gave it the appearance of a dangerous predator, which wasn't too far from the truth.
But as it moved towards the four ignoble adventurers, its left side fell heavily in a limping semblance of its normal ponderous steps. The beast had an Achilles' heel, rather literally.
The troll is advancing slowly towards Balron, Mort, Elyen, and Gargamel, who are standing roughly in a line facing it from about thirty feet away.

[Be creative, be awesome, brutalize your opponent, but remember to be intelligent unless you really want your character to die in their first battle. You are currently on a ruined city street. Just so you know. I forgot to include it in the RP and didn't want to keep you waiting any longer.]

I head off to the side, and try to send embers at the troll's Achilles heel.
