[Generally me]

Ok i have a basis of an idea that was stolen inspired by "Battle Brothers" and if you've ever read "Necromancer" On ChooseYourstory.com it might be that kind of world

Setting:
It will be generic fantasy with humanity expanding and other races slowly becoming more and more annoyed at humanity for expanding so much. So you know troubled times perfect for mercenaries. I do have more but that will be revealed as you explore. Also loads dragons and other such mythical creatures

Roll system:
 Simply put i won't roll for much and mostly just use common sense unless i really feel like i need randomness. I will roll for skill gain though.

Seriousness/roleplaying:
You can roleplay and stuff however much you want and you can be completely silly as well, i don't really mind it would probably make things more interesting.

Gods an stuff:
No gods but there are going to be some ancient dark elves who have each mastered a form of magic and are the last of their kind.

How I'm writing this:
This will be very story focussed and I'm doing this also do improve my writing a bit, so point out mistakes and stuff. Which i know i have loads of.

Amount of players:
Ill say 7

Skills:
You will each have skills that i will base how well you do in given situations. And so you can have some sort of achievement and proof that you are a badass.

Magic:
Magic is very common and most people know some basic stuff but only a few know complicated stuff.

How game will work:
You are a group of friends who have worked in various different nobles armies before you decided that you could earn more money as mercenaries. So you are basically veteran peasants with crappy gear.

Skills:
Each skill is out of 100
 except for the one you are Natural at which is out of 200 and you put an N after.
0 is unskilled 100 masterful and 200 is Godlike
 it can go to -100
You can assign 300 skill points out
You can not go above 50 in a given skill when picking

Trait:
Honest face: People trust you easier
Quick learner: Learn skills faster
Attuned to Magic: Learn Magic faster
Beautiful: Easier to charm and persuade people
Any others i approve

Race:
Look up fantasy races and pick basically anything you want. Some may be not trusted just use generic fantasy sense. i will also inform you.

More information about the world
Orcs: don't like necromancy or healing
Elves: don't like necromany but like healing
Dwarves: view necromany as useful and healing as useful
Humans: most view necromancy as morally wrong doesn't stop most from using it and view healing as morally right I.e people who use necromancy they trust less and people who use healing trust more.

Orcs: most aren't welcoming of travellers
Elves: very secretive with travellers
Dwarves: plain just say f*** off unless you're useful
Humans: most are welcome
Each are more welcoming if you have one of their race in your group

You guys will be starting in a human Town

This seems pretty fun. So do we make character sheets here or is this thread just for an interest check?

Spoiler: Alexandreus (click to show/hide)

Name: Alexandreus Lorian Detoneal Raman
Gender: Male
Age:  20
Race: Human, slightest trace of dark elf blood.
Trait: Attuned to magic

Backstory: Alexandreus felt the magic flowing in his veins, and he directed it. He allowed a streak of lightning to come off his fingertips. He looked down at the dead slave. "How unfortunate." He would look towards his personal trainer. Being a rich noble family, he could afford whatever he wanted, and his family had come for Alexandreus' training in magic and combat. He always liked magic, but he felt a natural love for death. He looked up just in time to see a dwarf shove an axe into his trainer's head.
 Alex turned and ran through a door. Running down the hallways, he saw a dwarf kill his mother. He yelled as he grabbed the dwarf's sword, cutting himself but holding them in place. He unintentionally drained his life. He was surprised, but quickly walked over the body.
    Alexandreus found himself having a natural affinity to necromancy. Alex was presumed dead, and as such, all his money and resources were taken by lower nobles. He had developed a hatred for dwarves. He became a mercenary for money.

Name: Tektos, Reanimation Technician for Hire
Gender: N/A
Age: 12
Race: Formian
Trait:
Alien Gestures: Non-humanoid, Tektos has a face hard for humanoids to read.
Reactionary: Tektos ardently believes in social hierarchy, making him quite popular with those of similar mind.
Mount Me: Can be mounted by others.
Skills:
Necromancy (N):50
Strength: 50
Etiquette: 25
Running: 25
Axe: 40
Mercantile (trading): 30
Observation: 30
Illusion: 50
Intrique: 30
Backstory: Like all Formians, Tektos was born without name, only a number to differentiate him from his brethren. Assigned S403, he had been born amongst the scholar caste, a newly-crafted caste dedicate to integrate foreign technologies as well as make their own discoveries. The creation of the scholars had quickly made results; necromancy and healing magics had become well-integrated into the Hetote Confederacy, the united Formian colonies of <region>. It had become so ubiquitous that now the roles of the worker caste had been effectively replaced by the dead. S403 has been directly assigned to labour under the now famed father of the so-called Industrial Revolution, Elothokos. Under his tutelage, Ekros spent his young adulthood reanimating the dead to serve the Confederacy in whatever ways it needed. Of course, there were many voices that called for an end to Dead Labour. The workers, now obsolete, saw the writing on the wall, many rebelling outright against their sovereigns. Taking advantage of the worker revolt, several advisor caste soon took charge of the infamous Blue Revolution. A bloody conflict, the Confederacy imploded after four years of near-constant fighting, which only worsened when surrounding states took advantage of the chaos. S403, a lowly technician, had of course sided with the Loyalists. But now, after nearly a lifetime of war, he had had enough. Taking what few belongings he had, he left the Confederacy and called himself Tektos. With no loyalty or experience in the outside world, beyond the talk of travelers or words of the books, he decided to start a life of mercenary work, hoping his unique skills would be of use.

[Generally me]

I may have to keep you guys to humanoid and capable of speaking human language races. Unless you really want to be not be able to speak. I guess you could be formian but you can't speak human language only formian language.

[micelus]

No problem with that. Can still comprehend human languages and I'd assume those who spend a lot of time with my character would get the gist of what I'm trying to communicate. Or I can start with a certain item (details in sheet).

[Generally me]

You get like a sign language skill and have another party member also have it. Or be good at enchantment and just project messages in people's heads.

Basically it's all open, make up any skill you want and unless I say that's OP, then it is allowed.

[Arkitekt]

May I try?

[Generally me]

Yeh of course

[Yourmaster]

How will points be gained? Will you get skill points after a mission, or do you have to use it enough? I think the first makes the most sense, considering the 100-200 level.

Name: Tenuki
Gender: male
Age: 28
Race: human (with 1/4 dwarven blood)
Trait: Quick learner
Backstory:
Tenuki is basically a loner. No one can tell about his childhood. Due to some specific skills and knowledge one may decide he was taught by known masters. And it seems he had some funds to pay for education. But there are no exact facts to prove this version. If one ask about his past he just answers that it is useless to carry such knowledge. Your present and future should be defined by you expectations and opportunities.
About recent events in his life it is known he finished his contract in noble's squad and decided to raise money on his own. Noble was not very happy about him as much as Tenuki himself, but the job was done well enough and payed as expected.
