Character Creation

To join the Viridian continuity as a character you need to know a few rules and guidelines and what the setting is about. The Viridian Discord is about roleplaying a Anachronistic High-Fantasy setting with a light mixture of game mechanics but generally text-RP styled for ease of use and a focus on character interaction. It holds some tradition to tabletop roleplaying games in terms of the standards kept for character creation and world-building. Consider these statements when applying and creating a character for the setting.

"This setting features giant characters and other size-based themes"

• This world contains giant people of uncommon number, ranging from 30ft+ (knee high) to over a hundred feet tall (inches high).
  • If you find playing in a world inhabited by giants of this size uncomfortable or unrealistic, this setting is not for you!
• You may create a normal character (or small-sized character) or opt to play as a giant or a Plainsman giant.
• 'Normal' characters do not have special biases against them, in fact it's encouraged to balance giant and non-giant characters for variety and for practical reasons.
• Giants (or 'Lesser-Giants') refer to the class of individuals of immense size compared to the populous, minimum size 30ft.
  • Giants refer to '<Noun> Giant' races who agree to co-exist with non-giants or children of non-giants fated to become towering examples of their species.
• Plainsman refer to a race of extremely large giants reminiscent of the beanstalkian giants who lived in the clouds and tower even over the lesser giants!
  • There are a wide variety of Plainsman, many resembling non-giants, however to play as a Plainsman you are subject to Plainsman guidelines as these characters function differently to most other characters.

"Race Choice must be suitable for the tabletop-RPG adventurer archetype and for a fantasy quest/scenario"

• Build your character as if you were going to join a tabletop RPG like Pathfinder / DnD. You do not need to actually crunch numbers or make a proper sheet.
• Race selection focused on Humanoids (or humanoid in shape). Core races A-OK. This is to prevent choosing monsters or monsterous creatures as a character.
• If you choose an anthropormorphic animal race, ensure you choose from an existing fantasy-genre and not 'Race-by-animal-choice'. Characters that exist for the purpose of being an anthro 'animal' are not permitted.
  • For example, Skyrim's Argonian and Kahjit are OK. Zelda's Rito and Zora are OK.
  • But a mere anthro fox/wolf/bird/lizard character with no cultural context is not okay.
