Welcome to Revaliir, Bob! I'll give you a crash course here since you're new to the whole Roleplaying thing in general, and what we do here.
Revaliir is a play by post Roleplay Forum taking place in a custom built world of medieval high fantasy, think something akin to Dungeons & Dragons
Forgotten Realms as a table top reference, or for television think along the lines of the 1995
Hercules, 2008
Legend Of The Seeker, or even the BBC
Merlin television show. For movies there are countless examples,
Lord Of The Rings trilogy comes to mind. We don't really use stats for characters or anything like that, in that sense we're a Free Form writing community with little restrictions on what you're able to write, letting you write the story you want with others without all that messy red tape getting in the way.
While we're pretty lax on what you do, there are a few rules to take note of however, and you can find them here.
Roleplaying & In-Character Rules
The way all this works is either through private messages on here or the looking for Role Play sub forum, through threads marked with a
[O] to show that they're open, or even through the community Discord which you joined earlier you find people and characters you want to write threads with, find an idea for what could happen in the thread or where characters could meet, and just start writing in whatever forum you decide on. Your imagination is your greatest tool here, and whatever you do just have fun most of all, don't ever forget those two ideals.
What makes Revaliir a bit different than other communities and forums is for starters, while many fantasy worlds have a pantheon of deities, Revaliir's Gods and Goddesses are written by members of our community, they're not figures that sit in the background of a world never to be seen or touched. They're hand picked characters written by some of the best our community has to offer. These characters you can interact with, build stories and relationships with just as you could any other character, and I've always thought that was pretty awesome. So, once you get to writing you'll find items and silver after every post. Most the items you find are going to be used in creating various other items for your character, and there's quite a few of them, though you'll get into that later. The silver you get after each post, well that's used to purchase items for your character, and the way that works is you can not RP your character with an item or spell they do not own. So, through story and writing you'll start to build your character up in various ways. Maybe they worked on learning a spell in one thread and you purchased it afterwards? Maybe they went on a long journey for some sort of arcane weapon? All that matters regardless is that the profile you're posting on, owns the item you're using in your RP and writing. You'll find the shops at the bar near the top of the site under the items tab!
Your character seems fantastic, lots of room for growth in any direction and it's a solid starting place without a doubt. You'll want to post this info in your profile. While you're logged in, look at the top of the website with the grey bar of buttons. You'll see Home, Index, Items, and then finally you should see bob_bobinson, just click the drop down there, jump down to the profile tab, then from there edit and this is where all your character info will go. All in all, I hope you enjoy your stay here on Revaliir, we're super stoked to have you here, and like I said before; Have Fun. That's the main goal of everyone here. If you have anymore questions, let us know by all means. Till then, have a good one, and welcome once more.
QuickLikeEdit: And I feel so silly because it seems you've already figured out the profile stuff and all that, opps!
