Richness Project

[Farain]

Well, we have so many different places to roleplay, but they are all so little defined that we only know the signature race(s) and who they worship. Chances are, there are hundreds of people groups in MI, and they haven't been made yet. So, we need to make everything richer. You already saw the thread about the seas -- how about we develop the other cultures! Sounding board, anyone? Let's start with the Pyrian Dynasty -- it seems to me that'd be a bit of a melting pot.

We could always have the creators of the new world places create their own little mini races and cultures...I for one would be happy to mess with Kaesaphreneithizanar and Kestas. After all, I did say there were other races living in Mekisha as well. Not so sure about Jahata though, although I guess I could fiddle with the creatures that inhabit the RushWind Peaks and the "Icy Caverns" in the Snowy Plains.

Someone should also be in charge of the wandering/migrating/nomadic people groups.

Oh, and before I get started, can I please have the "form" or just a few basic guidelines on what you'd expect? I'd prefer it if the requirements don't contain language, as I can't even handle three or four at a time...

[Farain]

Basic guidelines?

• Not affiliated with a specific demi, but yes to being affiliated to a god.
• Non-magical, for the most part (though in the case of large, nigh primary populations, magic is okay, like the cephalopods or goblins in the stony mountains)
  
• They have to be believable for the place, of course, so nothing with, like, fins in the Northern Reaches.
  
• Consult with the maker of a place in the new world too (assuming they still are on the site), as well as running it by me anywhere.
  
• Though this is most important for places, other planes may need some populations too.

Do we just make threads in the improvement board and see what happens?

[arrasailsup]

Well, I was thinking of making a Kitsune-esque race (very few in number, scattered all around Kasai and Pyrian lands), but it's, like, kinda hard to not be magical when your lifespan's so long that you're dang near immortal, have tails, and are half-fox like spritits.

[Farain]

Well, they could be a form of fire fairy that just happen to look like foxes. We must have magical fairies. Or you could make a Kamigawa-esque version without the immortality or tails, except in the clerics and such.

Ooh, good point Malaria-kun, I suppose I ought to make a board... Oh wait, I just did!

[Feroc]

uhmm............there is always my fire-foxy's ;D

[arrasailsup]

Righto. I did think up of a few ideas for slave races in Nul-Nessar, but no specific details yet. I'll go make a few of those minor races for Kestas soon, as well as perhaps a few Silvan races (because Silva desperately needs supporters).
Expect something to be posted up soon....I hope.

[diaphanous]

...maybe members could pick one of the many domains and develop a history/culture canon for it? Personally, I'd love to work with the Aeronite Mountains Glaciac Monastery area and maybe the Aquatian Republic. --They are so very empty and have so much potential! How do I go about enriching these realms?

[Farain]

Hm. Maybe we can work with this somehow. Beyond the obvious making of races, I could open up our World News Inc. Old World Places board for official facts. I'll make another subboard...

[arrasailsup]

Don't forget the non-sentient 'special' animals!
For example, do unicorns really exist? And griffins?

[Farain]

If we want them, I suppose. Probably in Silva.
