Greetings and welcome to my thread.
Some of you may know me already, to those of you that do not, my name is Syphon. There, that was easy.
In this happy place, it is my wish to set up a freeform roleplay in the setting of the Four Lands of Shannara, as described by Terry Brooks.
If you are familiar with these works and this setting, great!
If you're not, here's a quick blurb about it from Wikipedia in the spoiler.
Shannara is an epic fantasy series of novels written by Terry Brooks, beginning with The Sword of Shannara in 1977 and continuing through Bearers of the Black Staff which will be released on August 24, 2010. The series blends magic and primitive technology and the books are set in the Four Lands which in some books is identified as Earth long after civilization as we know it was destroyed in a chemical and nuclear holocaust called the Great Wars. By the time of the prequel First King of Shannara, the world has now reverted to a medieval state and magic has re-emerged to supplement science as humans and other races live in a place known as the four lands, which is a future North America. Further into the novels science starts to become more advanced.

Sounds interesting? I thought so!
In order to get this project started, I need players. In short, I need YOU!
My aim is to create a fun roleplay without being bogged down by a system.
As such, all the RP in this world will be freeform with a few dice rolls added in at my discretion.
Characters you can play are restricted to the 5 races in the Four Lands, being Human, Troll, Elf, Dwarf and Gnome. After that, you will need to choose a political alignment, in part depending on what race you choose. You can join up with the Free-born, rebels fighting against the authority of The Federation, the aloof magic-using Druids or any of the various governments of the other races.
But until you get more information on this roleplay, I will need players.
So what are you waiting for? If you want a fun roleplaying experience without being mired in the legion of rules associated with systems, this is the place. If you want a shot at participating in Terry Brooks' sprawling fantasy world, this is the place. Sign up here or PM me and when we get enough players, we can get started. If you haven't read anything by Terry Brooks and still wish to join, PM me and I will guide you through the process. However, if you are already familiar with the world of Shannara, feel free to create a character with the following details:
Gender
Race
(Age is irrelevant, as for the simplicity's sake all PC's will count as young adults according to the standards of their respective race)
Physical description
One or two items of personal importance. This is important for later.
Gender: Male
Race: Elf (is this allowed? if not, Human)
Physical Description: Rather short for an elf my age, but i make up for it in skill with a bow. On most days, one could find me in traveler's clothes because of my love of exploring the vast tract of land not far from my village. My parents insist that i bring my bow with me on said trips, for fear of being caught by invading scouts. I also have a knife i keep on my belt. I've never actually used it in any way other than cutting rope, but one might never know. My eqipment is a bag filled with camping supplies, by bow, a quiver of arrows, my knife, and a bandanna i wear around my head.
Ok, i probably went WAAY to in depth on that, but whatever, i'm sure it's fine.
