| Well, that's likely to be true. Just don't be too loose and end up a Leiv. _________________ ~The Ruin of Camelot~ | |

if by socket you mean in your flesh then no. Also cults are very rare, although you are welcome to start your own after the first arc | |

| - Spoiler:
Character Sheet: Name: Exodus Age: N/A Gender: Male Magic Element: Ice, Sky Appearance:- Spoiler:
Personality:- Spoiler:
Exodus was raised more or less isolated from human contact, and, as a result, is not well versed with human interaction. This also leads him to be quiet, but also highly observant, allowing him to notice slight details better than most. When not in a battle, or otherwise serious situation, he has a short attention span for anything that doesn't enrapture his interest, and also has an almost childlike tendency to go off on a whim. While he has trouble talking to new persons, he has a considerably easier time with those he's become used to being around. History:- Spoiler:
Born to a clan of lesser nobles, upon finding his affinity to use magic, they spent most of their fortunes on training his abilities. He was raised more or less in isolation, to be a symbol of the restoration of the family's power. His prowess with a staff, however, far outshone his ability with magic, and his use of both in combination was even more spectacular. However, the family completely collapsed several years prior, which ended with Exodus being left alone. Not knowing what else to do, he somehow ended up posted at the scouts of the border.
How's that Ryu?

| couple of things.
try to flesh out his background and personality some more please, it doesn't make sense for a nomad to know or be able to afford magic.
Also you are going to have to reread magic section as you've pointed out (by accident) that the original version lacked important information regarding affinities and so I've re-written it (with better formatting) | |

As for personality.... I'm not the best at writing that out, but I'll give it a shot. Wow I'm good. Accidentally pointing out mistakes. Ryu.... Can I reword the first post for you? It hurts my grammar nazi conscience. Really, the whole thing needs rewording.... | |

- In the far north of the Empire of Kartash, beyond the mountains, lies a deep forest. Within it's borders are warring tribes that would strike south as they chose, if not for the mountain fort. The greatest fort in the world, this building and her men are all that stands between civilization and madness. Yet, she is not invincible.
You are a member of the scouts; men (and a few women) who brave the forests north. Looking for movements by the tribes, escorting larger forces of raids, passing messages to outposts and other such duties. You are not the greatest of fighters, but you are soldiers, and war is coming.
The RP is open to at maximum five people, if you would like to join, please post a character sheet bellow.
Please note that this world is very cold, and as such swords are rare/only the really rich will have one and not for battle. There. Bolded what I changed. | |

| - Quote :
- Kartash is the largest kingdom on the continent, covering large swathes of land all the way from the equatorial mountains to the edge of habitable land, where it is cold enough to freeze the blood inside a naked hand. The central lands are flat plains that are often covered in shallow snow in winter. To the west is the great forest, the border of the Empire, while to the east is the frozen ice shelf; a death trap to any who walk across it. The south east is home to hills filled with precious metals, gems and the rare ice crystals, while north is the mountains that block any progress further. Nearly all towns are built using stone, as wood is too difficult to obtain, fires burning on mix of dun and peat that hold chemicals which burn slowly are tendered almost all year round with only the very rich using real wood. Due to the size of the Empire, most towns are self-governed, taking care of most matters including tax. However, the military is the domain of the crown, and it is their might that has bound the lands together for almost 300 years. Travel is a dangerous pursuit with little protection on what passes for roads, still there is a constant flow of trade across the empire as no single town can be self-dependent anymore; so bound together they have become.
The racial stock of Kartash has little variety, the main type being tall, about 5'10, with a broad face, while to the north they become slightly shorter, about 5'8 and the west being a mix of most types, having bred with the natives of the great forest and Belgrave conclaves. The southern reaches have no native variance, as the lands to the south are too harsh for anyone to have survived on their own. To the far north, beyond the mountains, are the crow barbarians who, from post mortem examinations seem to be of a similar type as northern Kartashians, although that could be due to the fact that all bodies obtained were of fighting men, and no women have ever been sighted, leading to some rather foolish urban legends. Towns in Kartash are easy to recognise due to a couple of consistencies when designing them. First is how all the buildings will be very tall, often rising to four stories even in the poorest sections, with slanted roofs that are so close together that the gap between them is normally only a couple of hand spaces wide; this is so that any snow remains in the centre of the streets as well as keeping large amounts of heat within the buildings. Second is how all but the most western towns are made of stone due to the cost of wood as trees rarely grow outside the great forest. Finally due to the cold, increased by the openness of the landscape, all settlements have large underground complexes, some being so great that whole areas have been lost over the years. The current Emperor of Kartash is Thurlaw the third, who is 42, sickly, and with no heir. His younger half-brother, Prince Lantakas, on the other hand is very different. A passionate man, he leads the military in the north, and has shown himself to be very loyal to his elder brother. Still, with the Emperor so ill, and his brother often putting himself at risk, the current political climate is a deadly balance with no clear line of succession after Prince Lantakas and rising tensions between the Church of the Ice Gods of Winter and the University of Zoffany. The world will watch Kartash in the coming years with a close eye, to see if the first empire of the world will last to see 300. Did this one too, but too large to bold all the changes. | |

Heil, Grammar! I've been one for ages Illya Heil! On another note, I edited my sheet. Personality might need a tad more work, but history should be good now. | |
