As you saw mentioned in the previous mod post, The setting will be a Faire where people from around the globe are gathering at New Eastport (NYC). Ships are sailing in. Roads are busy with travelers. The fair ground themselves and the surrounding kingdoms are teeming with visitors and locals making profits off the event. The event happens annually with the kingdoms coming together to establish peaceful ties, new trade agreements, and to settle disputes. The weather is going to be tweaked so this is taking place during Spring since High Fantasy is still medieval, and no one wants to travel during the Winter.
Here's what we need from you!
Firstly, there are going to be a number of public events for characters to join. An archery tournament is a given. Plus there will be a jousting, etc. and probably a big ball. All that is needed is for you the players to voice interest in events, and there will likely be a post created for people to freely join. You can also make independent threads. Just be sure to be clear it’s for the Hi-Fantasy event.
Secondly, start plotting out who and what your character is in this AU setting. Are they famous? Are they made of magic? Have they pissed off the Orc Clans at some point? Are they nobility, visiting or local?
Speaking of nobility, there are several kingdoms apparent in this AU universe. It’s good to be nobility, but here are the spots taken to better establish the setting from the onset. Also keep in mind there are a lot of rich folk traveling to, so nothing to say your character isn't royalty from somewhere else. As more nobility is established in discussion, the list will be edited for easy reference.
Established royalty and nobility:
Gotham: King Bruce 'the Benevolent' Wayne the first of Gotham. -Prince Dick Grayson of House Wayne the first. -Prince Timothy Drake of House Wayne the first, surviving son of Duke and Duchess Drake. -Prince Damian Wayne the first.
Metropolis: King Lex Luthor the first of Metropolis
New York: King Anthony Stark the first of New York Queen Virginia Stark of New York
Foreign: King Victor von Doom the first of Latveria -Princess Lucia (L.L.) of Odessa -Prince Thor Odinson, Crowned Prince of Asgard --Prince Loki Laufeyson, ward of King Odin of Asgard -Prince Dorrek VIII of the extinct Kingdom Skrull, aka Theodore, incognito. -Princess Effie of Bostonland
