I think there should be active historians in game, as characters, chronicling down the past as it happens, to add onto the lore writer stuff. Like a Herodotus in game. It shouldn't even be their main job, since you'd gain to money from that. It'd just be different records of current things happening with different biases that can be later collected as the game goes on to formulate a more accurate lore-history thing. People had journals back then, assuming you could afford ink, quill, paper, and could read and write.


I wish people would stop trying to make their character the best at everything. Everyone should make attempts at making a character that has faults that impede daily life. This way, your character could still be different from everyone by their actions and their general 'character', and not by being some furry cat shadow creature with shadow powers who was tested on by some cult and you have no emotions and you were taken away from them and you lost your memory which is totally retarded and unoriginal.
I agree. I might try the journal bit sometime. Also, we could hammer that bit about unoriginal-badass-shadow faggots into a few players.

I'm going to make a Heroslayer character.

People have done their characters (semi-)right before, just when it comes to battle they've been trained by elite, Russian shadow-ninja with bazookas and long penises.


Maybe we should have an entry app, or "skill" app, where we see what you know about RP/style and we can bash them for being stupid.
Just a simple app about character, maybe a name, skills, etc.

Your first point is close to my idea for a character, basically I'm thinking of making a character who's a guy who wants to create a newspaper which will spread what is going on in the land to all it's people, he wants to make a media empire which will spread his right wing opinion (borderline propaganda) while being a massive dickhead in the process making him hated by all but his work read by all (just realised I'm making Rupert Murdoch). This'll be VERY slanted to create controversy and spread his capitalist agenda so if someone else is going to create a newspaper or chronicles of what happens they should probably do it fairly or left wing.

Political ideologies still existed back then even if they weren't in their current form, what would be considered right wing opinions would have still existed back then and left wing opinions would have still existed back then. Of course I'll have to keep focus down to every single word so that I wouldn't introduce concepts which would have not existed in that rough time frame. By the way, a question for Ragolution, will it be in a period where the printing press (in a very basic form of course) exist? This'll be the deciding factor on whether or not my character will be a journalist or author.

No, no printing press, sorry JR.

Paradox; you weren't the first person to have an idea about a printing press.

I originally wanted to write some small books and stuff. I then realized that copying all these books one at a time would be a pain in the ass.

I'm just waiting to mess up your day. Honest.

Would have been worth it in my opinion but if it got too tedious it could have switched on to the forum, but whatever I'll just do books instead then or scrap the idea as a whole.

Has anyone mentioned that bull shit where EVERYONE knows how to fight? (Whether it's a sword, bow, hammer, axe, ect)
I mean, I understand how some people know how to fight for sure because warriors or archers, but some people have no back story on what they know, just they wing it when it comes to weapons. (My "king" character didn't know how to fight, so I avoided fighting.)

I pretty much stated that.


So I can remove my post? I didn't really read because I didn't really feel like it after the first few post.

Because hitting someone with the pointy end of the sword is ever so difficult.

You've clearly never wielded a sword.

There's a reason why swords were specialist's weapons in the middle ages. They take a lot of skill to use well and are expensive to make. Only knights really carried them. The average peasant used a polearm of some sort because those do not take much training to wield and are cheap to make.

Sword fighting is not easy.

Alright here we go

Position I am applying for: Player

Previous Experience:
RP-related, I played/am still playing on Caphori, I've played Skyrim, AQ worlds and all of Artix entertainment's other games, WoW, and a few others I can't think of at the moment.

Minecraft-related, I've gone on a few servers but I never really stuck with them and I haven't exactly gone on any of the more popular ones.

Technical Experience: I've played Minecraft before, so I know how most of the stuff works.

Comments: Well, this is my first time on Caphori. I'm not exactly sure if this is where I'm supposed to sign up. I like Subway's sandwiches.  I'm eating a Subway sandwich right now. And this wasn't a very interesting read.
