As activity on the dash has slowed, it’s with a heavy heart that I’m here to announce a pause on Concordia’s operations. Shortly before opening, COVID developments in my area had slightly changed my living situation; I’d assumed these changes wouldn’t cut too far into the time I’d planned to dedicate to running this group, but as things have continued to unfold, I simply don’t envision myself with the time on my hands to properly run this RPG until my living situation has returned to what it once was. 

When that time does come, and my best guess is early 2021 (late January, or perhaps early February), I’m looking forward to bringing Concordia back from hiatus and introducing a small batch of new characters to celebrate our reopening. All current and former members who would like to return for v2 are invited with open arms! At your leisure, please respond to this post or send me a private message (here, on Discord, on my writing blog, anywhere you can find me) if you’d like to reprise your role(s) when we return.

Thank you so much to all of the members and applicants who’ve made this group possible. I hope you’re all safe and healthy through the holiday season, and I’m looking forward to a not-too-far-off time when Concordia will welcome you all back!

Thanks for answering my question! I'm interested in Natalie's bio, but I was looking to play an Elizabeth Lail FC. If you guys would be open to me using that FC for Natalie, I'd love to play her! If not, I can apply as an OC with a different bio. Let me know what you think!

As Natalie’s suggested FC is Latinx, Elizabeth Lail unfortunately won’t fit for that particular skeleton. However, I’d love to see you apply with an OC! The concept of humans worshipping sprites is one that can absolutely be applied to different characters, though I’d recommend ensuring there are distinct enough differences between the direction you choose to go in and Natalie’s skeleton to differentiate the two characters. Best of luck, we’d love to have you join us!

Would a human character who worships sprites be welcome here? What are some human related plots you would be interested in?

Any human characters would be welcomed here with open arms — definitely one that views the sprites as deities! Natalie’s bio hints towards a similar plot, but it’s an avenue that could absolutely be explored with other humans as well. 

All of our open humans’ skeletons hint towards plots and interactions that we’d love to see within the group. Or, we’d be thrilled to have our first human OC join us as well!

The Cage, created by Lynx, has been added to the locations page!

This fully erected fighting pit was created by Lynx in an attempt to test her powers. To fully understand other sprites and their powers, Lynx turned this football field large pit into a fighting pit. Sprites from all kingdoms are allowed and able to fight one another.

NIMBUS | SKY SPRITE

↳ one hundred and twenty-six years old, born in 1894 ↳ arrived at age thirty-three, in 1927, on the passenger ship horizon's voyage from miami to santo domingo, dominican republic ↳ previously a shopkeeper ↳ turned at age thirty-three, in 1927 ↳ he/him

TRIGGER WARNING: death mention He lived life with his fists clenched. A first glance at an object could give him six different ways to use it as a weapon. Humankind were so fragile, like crisp paper-thin autumn leaves breaking brittle under his boot.. he'd always wondered if the sensation of snapping bone would feel the same. Acknowledging the monster within was the first step to suppressing it, and suppress he did. He isolated in the corners of a dusty shop down a dark alley, speaking few words to even fewer people, hoping distance from society would help him remain a good person with the will to simply dismiss the darkness within. Amazing how one moment spent surrendering to impulse can ruin a lifetime's work. He hadn't meant to lose control, but before he'd made sense of what he'd done, he'd taken his first life. He could only take his victim's wallet from their pocket and run — somewhere far away, where the monster he'd unleashed couldn't hurt anyone he loved. The crash had to be fate. It was no accident he'd woke in the one place he could fully relinquish the humanity he'd been desperately clinging to all his life. It was time to let it go, to embrace what had always felt most natural — the grey, the storms, the darkness, the danger. Finally, he was free to unlock his truest self in the heights of the sky kingdom. But, mastery over the stars and clouds were never what had summoned him to Caelum — it was the ability to flirt with death, to manipulate air and oxygen and life itself, from the heavens, like a god. He's pulled the breath from countless humans' lungs, watched the life slowly drain out.. but even our favorite songs get boring when played on rotation, and as he seeks something new, he turns his attention towards new humans filing in along the beach. Concordia allowed him to unlock his wildest potential. With a dark grin, he can only hope to help them unlock theirs.

OPEN | FC: MAX IRONS (ALTERNATES: CHARLES MELTON, MATTEO MARTARI, JORDAN CALLOWAY, LUCAS BRAVO, TOM FELTON, HENRY GOLDING, FRANCOIS ARNAUD, DAN STEVENS, CHARLES MICHAEL DAVIS, OLIVER JACKSON COHEN)

SILVER | EARTH SPRITE

↳ one hundred and eighty-two years old, born in 1838 ↳ arrived at age forty-two, in 1880, on the king's revenge pirate ship ↳ previously a pirate captain ↳ turned at age forty-three, in 1881 ↳ he/him

The seas were the only home he'd ever known. The King's Revenge had been captained by his father, and his father before him, as far back as the unwritten family tree would trace. Legacy suggested it would one day be his, but his father warned otherwise. What an arrogant boy, to assume he was entitled to it — but, of course, he did. He took it all for granted as he laughed through swordfights, drank himself silly, weighed down his pockets with more gold and jewels than he could carry, and slipped into bed with a new warm body at each port. He lived for himself, serving at the altar of opulence and hedonism. His father's disdain was no secret. For years he stifled just how much it ate at him, until he heard him speak words he couldn't misinterpret — "A disappointment like you, succeeding me? I'd die first." If that was what his father thought of him, he could grant that wish. He'd learned one clear lesson from his father — don't play by another's rules, invent your own. He made a public scene of his father's execution, stealing the crew's respect, loyalty, and most importantly, fear as he usurped the ship's throne. What he lacked in intuition and skill, he made up for in sheer, bolstering overconfidence. Determined to outdo his father, he set course for a treasure only spoken of in legends. It was the last voyage the ship would ever take, but oh, was the place they found home to greatest riches he'd ever know. The shining metals and shimmering gems of Terra called to him, like chests of gold had in his past life. Among the earth sprites, he grew roots for the first time, and he built himself not just a home, but a throne — this time, of his own design, not stolen from another. A practical god in a kingdom of wealth and power, he lives amongst riches, a smirking thief king, and as the barrier falls, he welcomes in his newest subjects.

Sofia Marshall

[concordia-rpg]

wow this looks amazing !! — when i have more time later, i’m definitely gonna read through all the open roles and see if any stick out ! any most wanted for me to pay attention to by any chance?

Thank you so, so much! We’d absolutely love to have you! I’ll let our members chime in with who they’re most itching to see join us, but for myself, I’d love to see some more humans join us— the possible plots for a human character are limitless! I’d also love to see our remaining monarchs — Ash, Flint, Florian, and Gaia — added to the mix, as well as some of our water or fire sprites!

[concordia-rpg]

Congratulations, WYN! You’ve been accepted as SOFIA MARSHALL! Like the carefully edited stories she grew up modeling her world after, your Sofia is a creation of fairytales. You showed so effortlessly how heavy the weight of her family’s legacy weighed on her, closing a door in her heart with each one that would open before her — choosing lineage over love, blood over happiness, relishing in the few small victories and private moments she could call truly hers. Watching the crash snip those puppet strings off of her will be such a fascinating journey, and I adore the idea of disaster bringing the inner peace that normalcy never had. I’m so intrigued about where her story as an individual will go, how she’ll go about discovering herself, and how her learned nature and relationship with authority will come into play with the sprites. I think I speak for all of us when I say how thrilled we are to have more humans amongst us, and your incredible muse will make such a beloved addition. 

Please take a look at the new member checklist, and welcome to Concordia!

[concordia-rpg]

I’m excited to announce our first optional group task: location creation! Between sprites and humans alike, the construction of structures and landscapes is a recurring part of life on Concordia — so what better way for our first task to dive into the universe than by having your characters quite literally add to it? 

For this task, please post in the #concordiatask tag with the following:

A name for a location your character created

Where it’s located — Aqueus, Ardora, Caelum, Terra, or the Village

A short description of the location

A link to an unedited reference photo, at least 500x500px

Each posted location will be added to the locations page, using the provided image, name, and description, with a writer’s credit. (Upon leaving the group, a writer’s locations will be removed from the page.)

Humans may create locations in the Village — what do their homes look like, or have they put together any recreational or comfort spaces for themselves?

Sprites may create locations in their Kingdoms or the Village.

Have fun, and post as many locations as your character may have built! This task has no time limit. Players should feel welcome to contribute to the Concordia landscape whenever they and their muse feel the inspiration.

If you’d like to play with some extra development, here are some ideas — please feel free to put any of the following in the #concordiatask tag as well!

Collaborate with another player on building a location together! Sprites are powerful alone, but more powerful together — especially when sprites of different kinds work with each other. Humans can always use a sprite’s help in construction as well!

Write a self para about your character creating their location.

Write a thread with another player where your characters create a location together, in the present or a flashback.

Create a graphic, moodboard, playlist, etc, for your location. These would be beautiful additions to the #concordiarpg talk tag, too!

Could Rahul Kohli work for Florian?

Absolutely, yes! Rahul would make a lovely alt for Florian!

[concordia-rpg]

To give characters welcomed on our next acceptance — Wednesday, November 25th — an opportunity to participate, the final call for starters for the welcome bonfire will be extended by one week, until Friday, November 27th. 

Players who would like to start new threads beyond the bonfire are now welcome to do so!
