About this Role-Play:
I decided to start a Role-Play that doesn’t have to do with any of our games here on the forums. This Role-Play is set in a medieval fanasy world, and takes place in the above map. I am kind of new to Role-Play, but I hope this one will go somewhere. (EDIT: ... As of the resurrection of this thread, I still hope it will go somewhere. )
Note: I will post my character's into a little bit later... Once this role-play has gotten some attention
Backstory:
The king of Kenadie had ruled with wisdom and justice all his years, but yet the people rebelled. They protested that he had ruled far to harshely. Indeed his grip on the country had been tight, but the rebellion was a surprise to the royals of Kenadie. The people of Kenadie voted to choose a new leader, who (little did the people know), intended to destroy civilization of the entire world as it was. Alas, this man had his own ideas of what life should be like, and his mind was set on his one and only goal - to take control of the world and force a change. Using the royal treasury, he began negotiating the hireing of an army, mostly from Winslow, to succeed in his mission. Amaya and Banagher were not associated with the initial campaign, so they mostly kept to themselves. Amadhy was already feeling pressure from Kenadie, so it was striving to keep its defenses up. Deirora had for a long time been allied with Amadhy, and so the king of Deirora sent a good deal of soldiers to aid Amadhy. Kiora was also readying its army, prepared for Kenadie to strike. Or at least, they thought they were prepared…
It is in this state of things, that our story begins.
Rules:
All Green Games rules, and all rules in the Role Play section. I’ll point out the Power Playing rule now, just so you know not to make your character too powerful, though we are all supposed to be way above average in whatever skills we choose, just make sure there is room for the other people to have a unique, and special character. Basically, don’t overdo it.
Country Descriptions:
Banagher
Banagher is a rocky, mountainous island, with a small population for its size. It is mostly a forzen, icy wasteland though it does have forests to the south.
Amaya
Amaya is almost considered cut off from the rest of the world. The culture and languages here are so different the people usually keep away from the rest of the world.
Deirora
Most of this large island is very rugged and mountanous, but is shrowded in vegitation. The flatlands to the south vary greatly from the wet climate of the north.
Kiora
Kiora is mostly flat and has many forests spread around its large land. The forests fade into desert south toward Kenadie.
Amadahy
There is an island in Amadahy that is so similar to Deirora that it is almost considered to be part of Deirora rather then Amadhy. Much of the rest of Amadhy is desert.
Kenadie
Kenadie's mountianous regions are very dry. Most of Kenadie is a desert, but this fades quickly to Jungle as you head east.
Winslow
Winslow does not have any feature that stands out. It has many forests, deserts, and some mountians.

Looks: 6'3''. Brown, near black hair. Usually wears faded black jeans, a dark green longsleeve shirt, and a thick brown leather vest with many large pockets in the back so it serves as a backpack. His boots are also of thick leather, but are well worn, and should be replaced (At the time of this character's introduction). He wears a thin belt with no discernable details. Draco is left-handed.
