Welcome to Voices of the Deep! I'll be your host today after making yet another signup sheet to another roleplay, but this one is 99% original! -Table of Contents- 1. Intro and Overview 2. How to Sign Up? 3. Editing the Base/Rules 4. Gods/Heavens 5. Seers 5. Ranks/Occupations 6. Other -Intro and Overview- The land of Wriovonium is dominated by four well known species. Amakir, Oximar, Shirar, and Eraphim. Each has its own kingdoms and rulers, and each keeps to their own species. The Amakir live in vast underground kingdoms in the desert, and are reclusive and wary of the other three. The Oximar are the most open, and live in the mountain ranges and wide forests. The Shirar live high above the clouds, upon floating islands, all above the ocean off the coast. And the Eraphim are secretive creatures, living deep in the waters, rarely seen by any species other than their own, and are rendered a myth or omen to the other three. -How to Sign Up?- Simply remix the signup sheet, and fill in the base and info! Any questions, recommendations or thoughts can be asked in the comments or on my profile! Your character's species is listed in the costume names, rank and occupation we'll be going over in a bit, and mentor/apprentice is not required if your character does not have magic. If they do, only mentor is required. In terms of magic level, the maximum is three, four with permission, and five with my permission specifically. If you are doing 4+ and I wasn't present for the voucher being given, please link the comment if possible, or add a screenshot! (link is preferred for obvious reasons) -Editing the base/Rules- Editing the base!! I may have gone a tiiiny bit overboard with some of the creature designs (Eraphim is basically uneditable with how over-the-top the species is already) but all edits are allowed, with just a few exceptions: -If the species does not have horns, you may not add them. You may add lookalikes, such as clothing or fur, but it cannot be horns/antlers. -Same for fins and wings. -If you are making a Shirar, they... MUST!!! Have feathered wings. No exceptions. They are giant birds for a reason. -An Oximar must have an even number of horns, unless one is broken. -Hybrids/interbreeds are prohibited unless you ask first, for the sake of simplicity. Interspecies relationships are allowed, but canonically, 99% of them are illegal with very, /very/ few exceptions. And the children look lowkey weird too,,,,, so yeah. If your characters are bangaranging in an interspecies relationship you gotta think about it first. -Basically just have common sense. No ghost appendages. No bug wings. We're going for science-fiction-had-a-baby-with-fantasy here, so let's keep things at least a little genetically making sense. -Very very cool rules- -Please please please, for the love of the heavens and all that exists in the sky and stars, do NOT ask "can I join?" the answer is yes! It is ALWAYS yes! Unless for some reason I really hate you, which would honestly be a surprise because hating people is tiring. -Reccomended PG-13 or that general area. This will be handling pretty violent topics for reasons such as: Because. -Have common sense when roleplaying -If you ask for perms to make a role and get a no, do NOT pester the species manager you asked for a yes. To any manager who gets this, please let me know so that I can handle it accordingly. -Please refrain from asking to be a manager/curator. Applications will open as needed, and I will manage this roleplay how I'd like to manage it. Minimodding is not recommended, either, because not all the lore is on paper yet! -Your scunglo scrimblo should stay in their own kingdom, unless they are an interkingdom merchant or another related role. -just have common sense, i highly doubt anyone is gonna read this anyway so that's why i hid an out of place word here, and if you find it and put it on my alt's second project (you have to find my alt too :smirk:) you can make a rank 2-3 character (limited!! current open: 1) -No cars or super modern things. We're talking cathedrals and knights because they're so cool -Your magic skill cannot be above your magic level. -Gods and Heavens- There are five gods in Wriovonium, each taking the form of a creature. Nova, the black Shirar and goddess of death. Sanguis, the red Amakir and god of war. Celestium, the Oximar with the mane of stars, and god of sky. Herbae, the golden finned Eraphim and goddess of life. The last has many names, but remains overseeing the other four, and keeping the world in balance. By all creatures, this one's touch is seen in every single one. Many even consider this one to be the god of balance, tranquility, or the true god of life, to have such divine omnipresence in every corner of the world. All who claim to have seen this one have described it as an unidentifiable species, with wings like an Eraphim and more eyes than an occuli, yet at the same time bare like a desert.
