05/23/2023 07:39 PM  Lore - Common Terms and Definitions   Terms and Definitions   Tallies - A slang term used to describe species that are of the taller persuasion, typically over 5 feet tall as a minimum on average.  This includes Humans, Elves, Orc, Trolls, Ogre, Giants (obviously), Mer-folk, Tiefling, and many, many more.   Shorties - A slang term used to describe species that are of a shorter disposition, typically under 4 feet tall as a maximum.  This includes Goblins, Knolls, Gnomes, Hobbits, and many, many more.  Special accommodations are typically made for Shorties (and are often labeled as such), including special tables at restaurants, stalls in bathrooms, and even sports teams that are separated into Tallie and Shortie Leagues.   Short Stack - A possibly offensive slang term used to describe female Shorties.  Though it can be used between individuals who know each other quite well, it is considered impolite to refer to a stranger as a “Short Stack”.  Some Shorties consider the word as a sign of bodily pride, as more shapely Shorties like to use it to describe themselves.  The movement to reclaim the phrase has been gaining favor in recent years.   Aether - The name given to the natural magical field that surrounds the world since the dawn of existence.  It is an ever-present field that can be felt and somehow utilized by many individuals, with skilled users going on to be labeled as Mages, Sorcerers, Witches, and so on.  Only “Earthen” species, such as Dwarves, are incapable of manifesting Aether in their own natural bodies.   Refractors - An invention of the ever-crafty Gnomes, Refractors are specially manufactured crystals that can absorb the Aether, charging them.  They were used to build simplistic machines after their invention centuries ago, but are now an integral part of the world.  All power, be it vehicles, lights, and even household devices, operate through Refractor power.   Leylines - Hundreds and Billions of naturally occurring pathways that Aether can travel across.  Though it took generations of wizards countless years' worth of hours to eventually map the entire Leyline system, it was considered a massive advancement in magical achievement and led to the development of major technological advances.   Aethernet - A magically driven source of communication and information that spans near infinite fathoms of time and space, using the hundreds of billions of Leylines to carry information at instantaneous speeds.  At first, it was simply used for communication, though the advent of further technological advances has led to it mostly being used for funny pictures and videos.   Slates - The final evolution of the Aethernet technology.  Small, often rectangular devices are now held by nearly the entire population.  With simple interfaces, 4K screens, and reactive touch capability, Slates grants access to the Aethernet from your pocket at all times.  It allows for videos, photos, messages, and calls to be made over the Aethernet instantaneously, as well as the download of many games that prioritize ad revenue over actual engaging gameplay.  But you can turn those off for just $5.99.   Coven House - A term used for a specific type of lodging house typically reserved for members of a witch’s coven.  Usually owned and maintained by the Coven Matron or higher ranked member of the coven.  Noted for being rather quaint, older buildings that often smell very strongly of incense.  Leah currently resides in one, despite not being a Witch herself 0 Comments

05/23/2023 07:13 PM  Lore - Season Locked Season Locked:   The technical term for four segments of the world that are, as the name suggests, locked to a specific season.  Each location is a perfectly shaped dome registering 200 miles across and 100 miles upward.  The reasons for these domes have been lost to time, though attempts were made to remove these enchanted spaces before it was discovered that the magic was creating new opportunities for increased wealth through year-round farming of seasonal crops, as well as a rise in tourists.   Season Locked Major Cities:   EverBloom - The Village of Eternal Spring   The largest town in the Spring Lock, EverBloom is a major metropolitan area surrounded on all sides by rural towns that all farm seasonal crops.  Though the temperatures remain comfortable year-round, the lock has more rain than the others.  Because of this, the amount of tourism in the area is shockingly low minus those who really want to find a lot of farmer's markets. But due to the rains and temperatures, the exports of seasonal crops more than makeup for the lack of tourism dollars.   Sunbright Shores - The Sun-Drenched Paradise™   The most profitable resort town in the Summer Lock, situated on a large stretch of coastline.  Very much a commercial hot spot for families looking to experience fun in the sun at all times of the year, it is seen as a more clean and saccharin destination for those with children, with a large theme park located just a few miles from the beautiful beaches.  For those seeking an actual getaway from the hustle and bustle of the world?  Find a smaller resort elsewhere.  Or go literally anywhere else.   Autumnhelm - The Golden Crown   Though not the largest city in the Autumn Lock, Autumnhelm is considered the capital city for the area.  Home to Autumnhelm University (a prestigious school roughly described as “Three-out-of-Four Stars”), it is a popular destination for youths seeking to further their education in a comfortable environment.  From the clean and upscale Uptown Heights district to the more down-to-earth folk around Downtown, it was a place to find yourself if you sought city life without the incredible debt of renting out a garbage apartment.   Kalt - The Winter Wonderland   The largest city in the Winter Lock, Kalt manages to sustain itself through the constant risk of snow and ice through the intelligent use of magically powered heating systems through the city streets.  This makes it one of the more technically advanced cities in the world, as well as a popular vacation destination for those who want to bundle up and enjoy the warmth. 0 Comments

05/19/2023 10:22 PM  General RP Details Discussion is highly preferred, but Random Starters are not totally off the table.  If you have an idea you wish to send my way, you can send it.  If it does not totally work for me, I’ll happily work with you to make sure it works for us both.   Stories will typically be slice-of-life in a modern/urban fantasy setting.  A world where beings such as Elves, Dwarves, Orc, Goblins (of course), and other fantasy creatures exist and go about their daily lives in urban environments, not unlike our own.  These worlds can have basic magic as a part of them if desired (powered devices are magic, not electricity based for example).   Stories can also be set in a more tech-heavy Cyberpunk setting and even directly into Cyberpunk 2077 if desired.  Typically this setting forgoes magic for a purely technological world with the same species residing within. Stories can also be set in more traditional Fantasy if desired. Though Leah was designed as a Modern Fantasy character, I'm not against changing things up for an RP.   Romance angles require a story behind them.  Leah has a strong female lean, but some exceptions can be made. Setup can have them either meeting for the first time or being long-time friends or colleagues.   Should romance lead to more sexual content, Leah is a Switch with leanings to being the top.  Either partner can be “packing” on request (can easily be explained away with magic or tech, depending on the setting). 0 Comments

05/19/2023 09:48 PM  General Info Name: Leah Species: Goblin Age: RP Dependent (22 Default)   Gender: Female Orientation: Pansexual (Strong female/feminine lean)   Eyes: Yellow Hair: Black   Height: 4 feet even Weight: 95 lbs   Likes: Going for jogs, playing guitar, playing games (board and video), playing baseball, motorcycle rides, good beer.   Dislikes: Perverted men, bigots, piss beer, broken guitar strings, people who touch her ears without permission, how a lot of things are not built for the smaller folk like her.   Leah is a typical tomboy living, studying, and working in the city.  She lives in a small apartment complex with other non-humans and gets by with her job as a waitress, as well as some help from the kindly landlady who owns the apartments.   She enjoys gaming, both board and video variety, and is part of the Lichworgs “shorties” baseball team (regulation baseball typically separates smaller players into different teams to prevent unfair advantages of size often referred to as “Shorties” and “Talls”).   She can be a bit abrasive when first met, but life as a Goblin can be rough given that people often treat them with disdain due to long-standing Species based stereotyping.  This is more a defensive measure and she can warm up to people who give her a chance.  In truth, she is a rather loyal friend to have.   She owns a motorcycle (Displacer Beast S) and enjoys taking rides, especially out of the city.  Though she will happily bring others with her, the S-Series Displacer Beast is specifically crafted for the shorter-statured rider, making it a potentially uncomfortable ride.   Though she does work out regularly and keeps herself healthy, she does have a nasty smoking and drinking habit.  She has cut back considerably since moving out on her own (mostly due to financial issues) but will still indulge when the mood takes her. 0 Comments

05/19/2023 09:39 PM  Rules - Please Read! 1 - Request means greet.  I'll do the same. 2 - Discussion is highly preferred.  I just like to know what I'm diving into. 3 - Romance is only for females and only with stories. 4 - All stories are individual moments.  No romance will carry over. 5 - I typically try to keep things at least para length but am not a stickler for length.  Please just keep it interesting. 6 - I get busy with RL nonsense, so patience is appreciated. 2 Comments
