Shard Plot Line

Access to the world map is restricted to those player characters participating in the main shard plot line. The shard plot line is best furthered by characters who are already heroes and/or qualified in those skills needed by guild/noble house leaders. We are looking for characters who have the following elements in their backstory.

Qualification

This storyline is like a Game of Thrones type of storyline, the farther your character is away from a profile that would have the skills to command armies, manage finances, recruit a spy network, gain followers, or rule a country, the more barriers you created between yourself and the main plot line.

Guild leaders are both creating and following the shard plot line, they have things they need other player characters to do. The more skills your character has by way of combat, political savvy, diplomacy, tactics, scouting, spying, etc, the more things your guild leader can include you in.

A Hero's Motivation

"If my character is not going to further some god's own agenda, why was my character brought here in the first place."

We are looking for characters that are already heroes and have garnered fame or respect in their previous life. Heroes, villains and anti-heroes are more likely to get involved in world-changing storylines then a stay-at-home crafter. Further, we are looking for characters that wish to see their chosen god, kingdom, or noble house reach a position of power and prestige.

Ultimately, your character must be self-motivated to "get involved" rather then expecting other players to provide that motivation.

Strengths and Weaknesses

On the application please tell us what strengths, skills or experience your character will bring to their chosen guild, and what weaknesses, limitations or problems they have that others may use to exploit them.
