Title: Vikings 2!
Post by: Faden on October 30, 2009, 11:15:29 am
I can't believe someone locked a post because 2 people went off topic.

Anyway back to the topic. Is anyone interested in making a band of viking related characters?

Thanks.

Ultimately anything that helps you to enjoy your roleplay and adds a little depth to your character can only be a good thing.

BoC has characters from all over Sosaria, in fact there's probably very few of us that actually roleplay Covians. I blame the Baron and his conquest of the colonies. ;)

As has already been mentioned, I think if you are wanting to RP a certain type of character you do need to do your research and be true to the type of character you wish to portray whether it be a Highlander/Tokunese/Elf or Viking etc.

Thankfully Raiden is from the Shire as am I, as in Yawk... So hopefully I pull it off quite well. ;)

Not the true Shire, pfttt! All hail the Shirefolk of Yew!

As for the topic itself, only bit of advice I'd offer beyond cultural sensitivity is being careful who you "recruit" if you're going to do a whole band of these. The flaw with branding it around the public forum is unfortunately you're in a dificult position of perhaps ending up with a bunch of interest you didn't want.

Because what often happens when you end up getting a big band of "themed" characters together is that often it turns into slapstic or farsical roleplay quite quickly. The idea has a lot of potential to it if you take it seriously - especially if you make yourself Altmerian, with a lot of the growing friction in the area - but if you push too hard and get too lapse you'll end up with five or six Och Aye-ing Charlie Chaplains running around just emoting drinking beer and hitting everyone.

Yeah, he seems to like playing violent, obnoxious characters.

So he's basically your average Gers fan.

Van might consider playing a role with the Vikings! Being a former Pirate himself and at the moment being unemployed, or is he? I don't know, Ed is as blunt as a pin.
