Hallo there, everyone! Welcome to the discussion thread of what shall hopefully be the first RPG in the Fantasy Section.
Name of RPG: Empire Eryx
The Plot: A powerful Empire, centered in the jeweled city Erae, is slowly taking over the world, and enslaving the population. The Empire is controlled by an unknown power, which calls itself the Monarch. No one outside the Empire can get close enough to the Monarch to even dream of killing it, but those inside the Empire might have a chance… and without the Monarch, the Empire will fall.
Objective: To over-throw the Monarch, and win back freedom for the people.
Timeframe: I’m not entirely sure yet…any suggestions?
Characters Needed: Empire Eryx is comprised completely of animals, so no humans, elves, dwarves or anything like that is allowed. Characters may be any type of animal, excluding magical ones (dragons, gryphons, etc.).
3 enslaved animals 3 Nobles The Monarch
The Nobles are the creatures supporting the Empire, and they will be the ones who fight for the Monarch, and protect it. In other words, they are the conflicting force to the enslaved characters.
Please include your character’s:
Name:
Species:
Gender:
Age: (Animals in this world have the same life expectancy that humans do, so put your character’s age in human terms, please. It makes everything much easier.)
Alliance: (Noble, enslaved, or just Monarch)
Description:
History:
Bio:
Note: If you are interested in being the Monarch, please put your next choice with your character profile- if you would want to be Enslaved if you couldn't be Monarch, then put Enslaved, etc. I'll lock one of the positions of your choice, so that if you don't get to play the Monarch, you'll still be able to play in the RPG if you choose.
~*~ My character is a Noble, and I'll post the info tomorrow.

Hallo again! Sorry about not getting this up on time, but...uh...I was kind of banned from the computer for two days because it didn't shut down fast enough for my mom. Makes perfect sense, doesn't it? So, here's the info for my character....
Name: Rynsian
Species: Peregrine Falcon
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Alliance: Noble
Description: He's small, like all peregrines, and has large amber eyes, and dark feathers. His wings are long and narrow, and the tips of his primary feathers on each wing are dyed black and dark red.
History: Rynsian was born into the empire, his parents having joined with the Monarch when it first appeared. He entered the Empire's military at the age of 12, and worked his way up through the ranks to join an elite scouting division, used as spies during the periods of fighting and for scouting out discontent among the slaves in times of realitve peace.
Bio: He's intelligent and ambitious; and he would rather use stealth and cunning to attack an enemy than force or brute strength. Having grown up in the Empire, he sees nothing wrong with what the Monarch is doing, though he tends to avoid the other Nobles, preferring to keep to himself. He's a bit new to Erae, having just been sent there from another city, Ixone, just a few months ago.

Name: Sleet
Species: White Begal Tiger
Gender:Female
Age: 19
Alliance: Noble
Description: Looks like an average tiger, stripes, large cat body, narrow and a little smaller than average
History: Born within the Empire, raised there, joined Empire's military at the age of 15, was mainly used as a guard, but has the brains to work and was soon moved up
Bio: Is strong and smart, great endurance and willpower. She is very cunning and sly, good hunter.
I thought a tiger would be very good as a role of a noble. Im not very good with making up names. Im used to making up elven ones for other RPG's...
Id like to suggest a timeline (not frame, line, telling what will happen over the game)... you don't have to, but it might help...

Hmm...timeline...good idea. I'll think of one sometime tonight, and see if I can get it up tomorrow. Oh yeah, a little note; don't put species if you're doing an info for the Monarch. That'll have to be a surprise to everyone...

_____________________________ I have a bio in mind, but I figure to help add to this character, vagueness was in order. No one really knows about The Monarch, other than the Monarch itself, and it's not about to tell anyone.
OOC: Erm, yeah. If I can't be the big scary malicious shadow with e-vile intents, I want to be a poor enslaved bunny. Okay, not a bunny but.. yeah. Here's a character map, for my next choice, if I don't get Monarch..yeah.
Name: Nÿstriol
Species: Red Hawk
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Alliance: Enslaved
Description: Nÿstriol is a normal Red Hawk, seeming absolutely normal. He has a piercing call, and fearsome eyes. His wings are wide but nothing special, he has no different markings.
History: Nÿstriol has always been learned in fending for himself. He hid and watched as his parents were forced into The Monarch, whom Nÿstriol has had a hatred brewing in his heart for. He itches to avenge his parents, and hopes maybe to save them.
Bio: Nÿstriol is brighter than some but not a genius. He is driven by the hope of saving his parents. He will attack in whatever way he may, be it orthodox, or not. His sole purpose is to defeat the Monarch, which invaded his home.

Name: Makira
Species: Panther
Gender: Female
Age: 30
Alliance: Enslaved
Description: Makira is a medium sized black panther. She moves with swiftness and grace as all felines do. Her voice is quiet and gentle.
History: Makira was born on the outskirts of the city Erae. Her father's influence gave her a strong love for her home land and a fierce sense of freedom. Her father was a colonel in the Empire's army and often spoke against the Monarch until he was mysteriously killed. Makira's mother soon died afterwards from grief and left Makira alone at the age of 12. Makira learned to take care of herself but she also learned wisdom and patience throughout her years. She promised herself the day her father was killed that she would over through the Monarch even if it cost her very life.
Bio: Makira tends to keep her c o o l but is a fierce enemy when angered. She is wise, patient, and always seems sad.

Seeing as how this thread has seemingly died, I've finally sat down and figured out a time line for the RPG. Of course, any suggestions would be very welcome, as always.
~A short intro to the city and characters; the slaves begin talking of rebellion.
~The slaves begin planning a revolt; the guards and soldiers in the city become nervous...
~A few slaves begin attacking soldiers, the soldiers respond by imprisoning many slaves and cutting down on their rations and water.
~The slaves revolt, causing many causalties on both sides.
~Number of soldiers in the city increases, making it harder for the slaves to talk or move around the city.
~Again the slaves revolt, this time attacking the Monarch's palace itself...
~Final battle against the Monarch
Remember, this is just a vague outline of what will happen, and things could change as we go along.
