Obrem Ocs

Because frieeend asked me to.

Messy and probably full of errors and still smells of drafts, meh. If any sharedworlder wants to help with linguistics/specifics of regions and all...

DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT

-> ((what I think about it/what it made me think about))

  ABOUT THE CHARACTER:

-basic stuff-

Name :

è Language freaks, let’s think about names. Ven would prob have like short names and no surname, easier to call out in tunnels an’ stuff… Avira have a ‘family’/’ship’ name that switches if they switch ship I suppose… What about all the others? Plus, if we want to go crazy about it, probable consonnances for all people an’ stuff.

Race :

è The Avira are not a ‘special’ race, rather taller humans with slightly different characteristics, similar but not in scale with the Ven, but we need the indication. As for the Kaōsi, I don’t believe it practical/interesting to roleplay them. Then we got the gentle Sasquatches/ice giants?

Age :

è I think we are all clever/mature/old enough to know 14 & 49 years old people won’t have the same adventures. Or at least won’t fight through them the same way.

Appearance :

è We don’t need to go all the way to the colour of your underclothes (though maybe we do… design/cultural matters it is, but make it relevant), but I don’t ever want to act out an adult asking a kid why he stuttered without knowing HIS TEETH WERE FREAKIN’ PUNCHED OUT  BY AN ABUSIVE PERSON, OH GEEZ, U INSENSITIVE BEEP. So yeah. Colours, dimensions, stuff.

Personality :

è Pretty basic idea. Give us a feel.

  -current situation-

Lives in:

è Should matter for your appearance/personality, however slightly. Most kiddos in Pelos are frail and sickly for reasons. Etc.

Profession:

è Or what he’s learning, or something. Historians or geographers in particular would have an actual reason to know lots about the world. Shoesmakers… know lots about shoes, man.

Wealth:

è Please please pretty freaking please don’t make of a character a billionaire. You don’t become a billionaire making shoes. And we don’t need no Batmans running around. Unless there are Reasons, of course.

Religion:

è We need to develop this stuff better so this can actually be relevant.

Hobbies:

è Even in Obrem people tire of making shoes or taking care of mirrors. I don’t necessarily mean a dedicated hobby, but if your Ven likes to stalk Kaosi for no reasons or your wealthy merchant likes to drink a lot, you can mention it here.

  -personality 2 and stuff-

è  can fill everything with tons or not, but maybe you should think ‘bout them. It makes for cool situations and stuff. Like depth. My pool has no depth. Because I don’t have one. I need one.

Likes & dislikes:

What makes them go ‘woah’:

Fears and phobias:

Prejudices:

Allergies:

Atheist to Believer scale:

è You can buy completely the whole ‘clouds are animals’ stuff, or in the end maybe not. How faithful is your character?

  -backstory-

Comes from :

è Think of Trell. Born in Pelos and gone all the way to Hreghen. People move, man. Like winds. And yes I mean your winds, Steve.

Social BG :

è Should be linked, or not, to wealth. Either way that means characterization. How do your character thinks about money, just how much spare time he/she has, etc.

Actual backstory :

è I think we’re all adult enough not to birth Mary-Sues or Gary-Stues. Please. I already mentioned we needed no Batman.

  ABOUT THE RPGer :

Age :

((Because, well, it can be pretty important. As eldest and actual adult it’s my job to remind you that rpging some sort of stuff with minors and other younglings can be considered pretty nasty. Will also explain level of writing.))

From the original group or not ?

((So as to know if they already got the feel and know lots about the rpg. I mean I’m not sure many people will want to rpg this thing but Alyssa once mentioned to me she would, so yeah.))

Things you’re not comfortable rpging:

((Triggers for trigger people, and for others just what is absolutely not okay rpging.))

  Okay I'm running out of ideas. Help, people.

Thoughts

To expand on our world I'd suggest thinking about entertainment... What do they do in their spare time, all of our people? We had music in Trell's story. The Avira have feather capes and stone engraving. What else? Is there such thing as theater, as musicals? Is singing a thing? Linked to a religion? Not?

Also, I will try to design a 'character sheet' for our players to use. I know some would go by feeling, but a sheet allows for some frredom AND makes sure everyone gets your character.

Finally, we're not in Wofford anymore. Find refs you think would do well in our world, and post them on Obrem's wiki or blog (can you all do that? Or only Erin and me? Then, idk send it to me).

Random thoughts: are aurora borealis and northern lights a thing in obrem? Can they be a thing?
