The Blades of fate (sign up)
 

Long ago in a distant empire Jae'Sun, Dragon King forged weapons of great power to give as gifts, and to secure favors. The weapons of the great sorceror were covited for their strength an beauty. With these tools of war he secured an everlasting peace for his people on the island of the sun. That society has prospered, but the rest of the world has been plagued by these weapons. So the immortal soceror has requested that the sorrow he has wrought be forever bound. He has gathered as many of these weapons to be forever kept in trust. thousands of blades still remain.

Available races: Human (Rounaud), Elves, Dwarves (Khazun), Catmen (Tomril), Ratlings (Nerzu), Shandim (if you take this race pm me first I have some rules for them), Orks, goblins, ogres.

Is this based off something Jad? Cuz some of that info seems to be lifted right from a book...

And congratulations on using the word 'weapons' about ten times in the first paragraph. (<---Joke)

I don't beleive so BM I'll admit it's not exactly the most original idea, but it's hardly plagarized.

No I'm just saying that you have alot of unexplained things in there...what Shandim are, what skills we can have, what the history is...a tad open ended, which is why I thought it must be from some long running thing...

And these blades...can they be any kind of weapon?

Swords mostly, and I left it open so you can create the charachter you want.

I meant to say based off of...didn't want to demean your idea...my bad...anyways...

Whats so good about Ratlings? Do cat people look like people but with tails...do some get better strength or whatnot...what skills, and how many can we have...

And can I have say...a this?

Ratlings are small, quick, have good senses, plus they are good in underground situations. Catmen like ratlings look like humanoid cats. They're furry and bipedal. Catmen are good at stealth.

and sure, any weapons you want are good.

You never explained what a Shandim is...

Well being as how they are very xenophobic mostly your hardly going to deal with them. but essentially they're a mortal version of the elves. Good fighters and powerful mages, but they aren't immortal. they live only a little longer than a human and that's only if they treat themselves well. If you want to know more PM me other wise don't worry about it. It's not to important.

Random effects?
