Hello Everyone,

For those of you that do not know me, my Name is Jakk. IGN: JakkDhread. When I am not playing massive, or doing ... well whatever it is I am doing. I usually work on graphic design, stories, comics, and little drawings. As of late I have been in a creative slump, so I am turning to the MassiveCraft Community for help. While I could have made this a video, it is 1 in the morning and I am not fully awake.

My IRL Girlfriend and I are doing a project together, that we have titled Aloria: The Age of Change. This is essentially going to be a story/comic that I want to have feature some of the communities characters. I want rogues, bandits, assassins, warriors, mages, guards, royalty. This is a chance to make your character seen. Whatever character you make, if accepted, will play an important role in this story.

But Jakk, how much will this cost?

Well considering I might wind up drawing a lot of characters and doing a lot of writing?

Nothing!! Why?? Because I'm in a slump, and it is 1 A.M, and all rational thought has fled my brain.

But in all actuality, I just really enjoy the RP community I have had the pleasure to see here on massive. This is my way (aside from working on lore) of doing something for all of you, even though a lot of you don't know me.

What we are Looking for

Well.... who do you want to be?

This story is going to revolve around a handful of characters, then also Lore Figures, Kingdom Leaders, and influential characters. This doesn't mean you need to be royalty. Let's say your character is a beggar, the main character could find you and take you in, give you money and a warm meal, or you might try and rob the main characters. Leading them to a guild of thieves where they must forfeit all they own.

This is Aloria. Just.. Jakkified. You can play whatever role you want to.

This story will be heavily influenced by the community. If you have a character in the story I will personally talk with you and ask you how you believe your character would react in a certain situation. Would they take the light high path, or are they not afraid to get their hands dirty in pursuit of what they want?

The most focused characters (ideally) will be an elven mage, a human rogue/thief type, 2 dwarven warrior brothers, 1 Human royalty, and 3 other characters. Whether they be Dakkar, Vampire, Yanar, Urs, etc, etc. It's up for you to decide.

How to Participate

1. Go here , that is the character template written by our good staff member MonMarty

2. Fill out the example with whatever character you are imagining to the best of your Abilities, possibly adding a side detail on what you wish your character's role to be in the story.

3. Send me a copy of your work either in a conversation, or to my email (which will be given upon request in private conversation)

The characters that are chosen will have personal Character Art done for the characters (which you are free to use as you wish) and will be given a permanent spot in the comic/storyline.

This is your chance to play whatever role you wish in the story. From King and Queen, to Assassin, to Beggar. I ask you this one more time, encouraging you.

Who do you want to be?
 
...Wait. Can you use your already approved character, or do you need to make one up?
 
@MiningMac5 You can use an already approved one if you want to. If you use an already approved one, just link me to the page, and type up something quick of what role you would imagine your character in for the story.
 
I have two I want to submit...do I have to cut down and choose only one to give to you?
 
Nope, you can feel free to submit as many as you want. While not everyone will be selected, the more applications the faster this can be put into motion.
 
Click on the chibi in my signature, and for the role...
Maybe the smallest of the three others. The smallest role that is. ....So, look at his personality, should give you a feel on how he'd fit in.
 
Glenn Valium ?
You can certainly use my character ;) He's... Erm... A heroic, ethical traveller? (Possibly?) I've never put him in a strict category before-- gawsh this is hard. xD He's poor... There's that. :0

If you have any specific questions, I'd be more than happy to answer them! :)
 
I'm assuming you're not in this for the character art @Eliza_Nightly haha :) cool character. If anything is decided with him or there are any questions I will contact you. Or if you are curious about anything feel free to message me.

Ahaha I'm seriously curious how he'd look in your style! :D But yeah, message me with any questions! :) I'd love to help out! :D What a cool idea! <3
 
Sick Banker | Shy Nomad | Nation Leader | Dangerous Banker
| Duval Paloin | Sarro Auber | Alibaha Malikamel | Marque Paloin |

Duval Paloin - Duval Paloin is an elderly, somewhat sickly man with an always sad expression and difficulty walking these days. His ears have a hint of points due to his tigran ancestry and he has more body hair than most humans. He's a wealthy banker, though he hasn't been able to manage his bank well in recent times due to his health. Formerly a Regalian Noble, he willing withdrew from that rather unpleasant (in his opinion) group of people, though his family is trying to regain the status. Duval could come in as just an elderly man who gives the main character advice/money/a quest/story/ext and plays only a small role in the storyline.

Sarro Auber - White hair and gold eyes signify that Sarro is closely related to the long-lost Seraph, but also causes him much struggle and difficulty as people always scream "mage" when they see him. With no ability in magic, Sarro is merely a nomadic traveler with a small black cat that rides on his head during the day and hunts at night. A skilled fisherman, Sarro's primary food is fish, but he also eats pretty much anything he can. With little money but lots of survival skills, Sarro could play the part of poor traveler who aids the main character in finding a location or traversing a dangerous stretch of land. He is very shy though, so don't have him play the 'baddass' character.

Alibaha Malikamel - Alibaha is a Qadir from a wealthy merchant family who sits atop a rather large kingdom located mostly in Fendarfall and Ithania, near the deserts but not always in them. With money to spare, magic flare, and skill with a short sword, Alibaha would make a good main character if what you need is a King on a Quest. Always working for the best of his Kingdom, he could easily be drawn into a quest by having something as simple as an evil villain attack one of his cities and rile him up. He uses light magic, "Solar Flare" the blinding flash magic. He learned as a hobby how to tame snakes and usually has one or two in woven baskets with him, all of which are venomous and can be used in combat.

Marque Paloin - Biological son of Duval Paloin and Ometawa Paloin(deceased), Marque fell far from his fathers kindhearted tree. He can be cruel, mean, and treats commoners like trash - unless they happen to be Tigran, who Marque envies greatly for their beautiful fur coats. Seeking mostly wealth and beauty, Marque could be drawn into the story as someone who hears of it and expects a reward for his assistance. He would not be the kindest person, but is clever and witty and an amazing merchant.


Duval and Sarro are both Approved, Alibaha is pending, and Marque hasn't been created yet officially (he's going to take over the bank when Duval dies). You can use any or all of them or none of them freely, just let me know :P
 
Interesting haha thank you for all the submissions @Mecharic It will be interesting to see how I can use them all

Ryver is a hilarious to play, oblivious idiot to put it in light terms. She doesn't speak properly but would fallen under the class of unlikely hero. The Bisexual young woman is short (4'6 - 4'8) and has bright green eyes. Ryver Tezari is lovable, but deranged as she can't wrap her head around things like complex speech, sarcasm, or 'trick questions'. I have some art of her here (Sorry that my drawing is so crappy D: ) and I hope that you can make some art and possibly put her into the story :D If you'd like to know how she talks- she sounds things out. If you need help writing dialogue for her- just shoot me a message and I'll translate.
