Hello all! This is Mr.Barin9. I have wanted to join an rp here for a bit, but I haven't really gotten hold of the whole thing yet. This is for anyone else who has no idea what they're doing. The plot of this rp will be developed along the way, but for now I just want to lay down the rules. Righto!

RULES

1. Try your best to use proper grammar. I won't be a Grammar Nazi, but I'd like for you to try.

2. Keep it PG-13, at least. No real graphic violence or profanity. I like a bit for effect, but with violence don't go into too much detail, and please don't just swear for the sake of swearing.

3. Please request before joining! I'll probably accept, but I'd like to know.

4. Don't god-mod other characters. Your character is yours and yours alone.

Alright, now that we have the rules down, here's the character sheet.

Looking for adventure and materials to make a magic warhammer called a Dwarven Thrower. Brief Overall Description: (will develop) Fairly calm and patient for a dwarf. This is probably due to his profession as a blacksmith. Even though he is laid back, he can party and fight like the most raucous dwarf. He is generally welcoming for a dwarf, as well. He is open to any race for companionship.

((OOC:

Name: Kös

Race: Giant

Age: unknown, but amongst his people he is considered an adult

Height: 13.2 ft.

Equipment: Plank sword (an 8ft by 3ft rectangle sword), pouch filled with herbs, candles and sacred stones, campfire materials (flint and tinder), a small (well for a giant that is) boot knife.

Base Look: Kös looks like ... well a giant. He is almost half as wide as he is long, His skin is a coarse grey and he is completely bald, aside from a 5 o'clock shade and some body hair. He has deep green eyes and a kind look about his face. He wears dark leather boots, weathered pants; A patched (one to many times) shirt and an old dark green cloak. Around his waist rests a thick leather belt with a few well filled poaches fitted to it. His hands are wrapped in brown leather strips.

Pet: none

Brief History: Kös has always been a rather strange bird amongst his people. At a young age he was chosen to follow in the footsteps of his clan’s shaman. And though he performed beyond expectations, his methods where strange and unconventional. Due to this, a more conventional youngling was chosen to take his place as the next shaman. Kös was slowly but surely cast aside by his Clan. As with all Giants that fulfill no purpose within a clan he was condemned to a life of wandering alone. At so Kös travelled the world. Unlike most giants he became less xenophobic and quite receptive to new cultures and ideas. (Will be explained further along the way.)

Brief Overall Description: Kös is a kind giant; he has a strong hearth and a deep love for all life. He understands the ripples of life around him, the connections between the smallest of things all the way to the largest. As a shaman he was thought to listen to the world itself, hear her pains and connect to them.))

I am sorry for my English, because it's not my language.

Most Orcs are commonly evil or villains, small number of Orcs or specific sub-race are not in nature evil. One of this neutral orcs are Barkon-Orcs. They got this name because of region where they live, Barkonlin plateau. In human or common it is called High Ground Range. Barkonlin is vast area with 85% of mountains and hills. It is barren and snowy land, with small green fields and forest. Barkonlin plateau extends more than 300.000 km², and most common altitude 1400 m to 2100 m.

Well. Sorry for the long absence! I don't mind that a few of you went ahead and made characters- I haven't been on the site for a while. I'm loving the characters we're getting. I'm just waiting on a few more people. Maybe one more guy, three girls?

EDIT

Perhaps a villain, too? An imaginary villain wouldn't do half as well as an actual rp'd one.
