I like playing the "proud elfen" roleplay. Hey guys, we were the first mortals to contact the fae. Without us, you would all be decaying dust motes.

There's no option for god..

Let me try it out and I'll definitely open another one with God included. suspicious.gif

Illithoid RP rocks. I tend to switch between either thinking I'm superior to all the overworld dwellers, and for novices from other guilds I tend to RP being a dumb brute who will eat your face. Seretenin does illithoid rp 10X better than I could.

I thought Illithoids ate souls, not faces... unsure.gif

And because the furrikin aren't represented, I refuse to answer. Why must there always be discrimination against us? We're not all furries. argh.gif

Oh, I know, eye of the beholder and all that. However, it is a fantasy game, and sometimes, even just for a few minutes every now and then, it's fun to play a character that looks like a supermodel. tongue.gif

I love Sadhyra's RP. Especially the bit with the treaty laugh.gif I still go into fits and giggles whenever I think of it.

It's a well known fact that gods are the best. tongue.gif

They were represented, just not in a way that makes sense.

I think we can all agree that lucidians are the coolest. They have their own flavor, but they can go pretty much any way you want. Yup.
Varrin2009-08-26 09:57:15
What else but Mugwump!

The mud, the gasses, the flies, teasing Lucidians, squelch squelch.

I was disappointed that Mugs had no votes before mine, not surprising as It seems to match in game. Damn human corruption.

Others I've enjoyed have been Tae'dae, Furrikin, Dwarf and Lucidian.

Kephera, obviously.

"We are the descendants of the Primal Goddess Keph, She who knew the Verses of Magnora and one who would defy the Fates themselves. For centuries, we have held our empire in the vast tunnels of the Undervault, keeping the wrath of the Leviathan at bay. And now for decades we have fought against the Scourge of Illith themselves. We have brought martial arts to the surface, allowed you to partake in our mastery of all things psionic and shown you how to find true Harmony. We've discovered the secrets of reincarnation, so that our lineage of Queens (the most beautiful in the world, obviously) can never truly die. We are ruled by Zenobia, the Queen of Queens, a being that would rival the strength of your pitiful half-formed, woefully resigned to their cosmic creches."

Whenever I get into Kephera-related RP as Alianna, it's related to Keph, somehow. She's my favourite Goddess hands down. Primal Goddess? Ok, you're older, stronger and wiser than all those silly elders, awesome. A thousand eyes? Freaking sweet, gives you a sense of menacing, ancient intelligence and makes for great symbolism. Having gone into the darkness near Magnora, and survived to return with her Verses, pieces of true prophecy? Badass. Taking on the strongest Soulless in the world with nothing but your own power, not resorting to the trickeries of Shanth? Awesome. Having the gall to reach up and tear the Fates in two? Unspeakable depths of awesome.

This shows itself in many ways. Kephera are awesome, for one. If you're not Alianna's friend you're probably a lower being in general, but that doesn't stop her from giving you respect (it's rather un-Queenly to act otherwise). In her mind, Alianna's divine spark has been fanned so much through ascension that she's pretty much an avatar of Keph herself. She doesn't hesitate to strike down anyone hunting in the Hives, hates the Illithoids and Soulless with a passion. She's smarter, stronger, more attractive, more enduring, more perceptive than just about anyone, obviously. She laughs in the face of authority. Keph had the daring to attack the Fates themselves! She's a pillar of power unto herself- if she truly wants to do something, she will do it. If the Fates warn yet again that the world will soon end, they're simply trying to manipulate mortals as usual to hide what little true power they have over destiny. Gods? Hah. There's no such thing as worship. It's a symbiotic relationship formed out of respect, at best, and anyone who thinks otherwise is completely deluding themselves. She protects your shrines and your followers, seeks and respects your wisdom, you give your divine favour, wisdom, aid, and the works in return. Gods are capable of dying, after all. They've approached the point several times in history. That's hardly Alianna's case. She's tied to the Moonhart and the Domoth realms. Assuming that, somehow, the first ever falls (and it never will, obviously!), she'll probably remain tied to the second. And if, somehow, the Domotheos is otherwise incapacitated or completely annihilated, well, the end of the world probably came after all so it won't matter.

And all of the above is a purely personal perspective and may be factually inaccurate on several parts, but if you ever tell Alianna that, what the hell will she care? You're probably mortal, and if not, you're probably not Kephera either, so what do you know?

Awesome awesomeness


Jeeze. If female Kepheran stats weren't so horribly gimped for me, this would make me switch.
Kiradawea2009-08-26 11:57:33
Females aren't supposed to take up the Tahto. They are supposed to stay in their nest and breed warriors. So says Zenobia. biggrin.gif

Get me ten high-stamina warrior breeders and I'll think about it. tongue.gif

You're the Guild Administrator. Just make a verdict or something. It's your guild. tongue.gif

Faeling was always my favorite. Ask Kelysa.
Unknown2009-09-06 05:17:36
Loboshigaru is my favourite for bashing and roleplay, however, I ALSO absolutely love faeling roleplay.


+ Plus...sometimes I just like to be girly and like butterfly type things (not seen with Lianara, of course, but seen in my Seren faeling.)

I am trying Viscanti right now and I find the experience so far to be very enriching with RP.

Kephera are awesome. They just seem like they're cooperating with the Cities/Comunes out of respect, and because it'll allow them to continue waging their war against the Illithoid. They're completely alien and foreign, and they never really integrated (especially with the Shofangi) for various reasons, many of which are OOC, but it adds another layer to the RP in game.

Kepherans are definitely awesome, I agree. Good gold, good experience, so many of them, and so thoroughly enjoyable to squish.

I'm going to have to say Loboshigaru, even after having played most of the other races at one point or another, Loboshigaru seem to have a lot to work with, and there's actually a decent amount of them around, so you can actually RP with others. Also, as I'm fairly familiar with canine behaviours, I find it easy to emulate them and put them into my RP.
