Hey guys! I'm wondering if some people would be interested in a viking rp? My idea is that there's a main settlement of danes who are intent on raiding england's monasteries and unsuspecting villages. I'm planning on coming up with a bunch of side plots which people can claim so that all of the characters have a lot going on and it can feel like a rich/active story that doesn't depend too much on one character c:
It would be semi-advanced/literate. I'm expecting a few paragraphs per post but really anyone is allowed to join as long as you're more or less willing to match the length of whoever you rp with.
It'll probably in the form of a "small" group in the sense that I'll come up with some character rank ideas, but beyond that people are welcome to do whatever they want with their characters. Anything I come up with is in the interest of generating ideas, but if you have different ones, feel welcome to pipe up.
Character Slots:
Jarl: claimed by ℊℓоω , male age 40
Jarl's children: x3 (all 22 or younger), unclaimed
Jarl's right hand man (or woman): unclaimed
Councilmen: x3, senior advisers to the jarl, unclaimed
Councilmens' families?: children/partners of the powerful members of the settlement, unlimited
Merkis: leading commander, unclaimed
Vikings: warriors, unlimited
Special jobs/talents (about 2 of each allowed): ship builder, blacksmith, seer, hunter/tracker, tattooist, brewer, fisherman, archer, jeweler/charm maker, etc.
Subplot ideas:
(Not all of these have to be used, and a single character can be involved in multiple)
- Character A decides to raid a nearby monastery without the permission of the jarl, and they recruit a few friends (2-3) to assist them
- Character B has begun to distrust the jarl's intentions, and is seeking allies to lead a mutiny
- Character C has been having strange dreams, and looks to the seers to find answers
- Character D has made friends with danes in a nearby settlement, and agrees to help them in their raids, but they are not to be trusted
- Character E wishes to marry the eldest of the jarl's children, but he/she must prove themselves by accomplishing increasingly difficult tasks
- Character F and Character G are siblings, and their father, a councilmen, has gone missing.
- Character H is caught in a love triangle with Character's I and J
- Character K has been exiled from the settlement because of a bad omen, but some of their old friends (L and M) wish to help them reintegrate
- Character N wishes to steal something from a nearby Saxon village which could prove very valuable
- Character O is a female warrior from a neighboring settlement with eyes for the jarl, but another, character P, has also grabbed his attention
Glow's character ideas:
Jarl, Brandr (40, m) -- tall, broad shouldered but slim, amber hair, braided and beaded, shaved on one side, tattoo of thistle leaves on side of his head, wields a double-headed axe. pious, ambitious, tough-love, passionate, sensitive, brutal, easily manipulated. a good leader who has many flaws, could be a better father.
Seer, Sigrun (25, f) - average height, dark reddish hair (braided to crown and then loose), length to lower back, geometric tattoos, face paint, wears bone jewelry, dark gray/green eyes. social, inquisitive, stubborn, proud, trusting. called the "bone collector," uses the bones of slain enemies to read signs from the gods.
Others, I'm sure. Maybe a son of Brandr's right hand (wo)man?
Sorry this page is rather unorganized. Just chucking random ideas up here. The main page will have more organized information once I get around to it. In the meantime, I have a pretty busy week school-wise but I tend to use the forums for procrastination and I'll likely have a lot of inspo lol. Any lurkers are welcome to comment here or to message/discord me.
