Hello!

My name is Icey and I've been planning something big. A roleplay world unlike any other I've encountered in my years of Rp. A living world that acts back with the characters. A world that lets you play as both character and creator, a world that upates as you travel and search. An RPG game with emphasis an the roleplay!

This is Roch. At least, what we know of it. It's inhabited by a species of centaurs that can come in all shapes and sizes. They can live in tiny, naturalist, bands like horses, or in huge cities where they fill the rolls of ancient humans. Some live in humble villages an look for the balance in life. Some run around naked, and some wear fancy dresses. There's a lot of options in Roch.

Through my years of trying numerous roleplay groups across Deviantart and other websites I've picked up a couple of things I think could really improve the game. I thought I'd pilot it here, on Lioden, to gain interest, get help organizing, and maybe even decide features that will be in the game! I also thought I could help define the world through the use of FAQ's!

Currently planned features
*completed* The world of Roch is broken into five seasons that take place in five week intervals. For each real world year, the centaurs experience two years of time.

*completedAn explorable world with day time costs. allowing centaurs only to explore what they'd actually have time to explore. Hidden loot, ruins, character races, plot lines, ect. ect all exist! A character will use their skills and luck, risking life and limb to make their name go down in history.

Rank based skill system where training pays off. Ranks open up new character slots, stats, abilities, with a vast job skill tree in the works! Create Golemns, and dragons made of candle wicks!


Pets! Speaking of dragons! There's SO many pets you can endeavor to get. From tiny gryphons and dragons to a home brewed legendary companion called a Lherr!

Lots of Lore! Become part of a breathing world and leave your mark on history. Find new playable races, new weapons, and even magic in the wilderness! Find Missing Princesses, stolen ceremonial garbs, or make your own plot! New group plots are introduced seasonally!

Did I say battle? Why yes I did! Live combat using a third party moderator (serving as a DM/GM) that inflicts wounds upon hits. Allowing for fair and flexible combat, even to the death, without ever feeling that one party or the other was jipped out! Powerplaying becomes a thing of the past!

I'm going to be attempting to endorse a player economy by encouraging trading and crafting. (Still a big WIP)

Speaking of player driven development, characters can form their own tribes, bands, and societies by accumulating at least five other characters! Either live Roleplayed by the players or conceptually submitted as an encounter on the map! You can accumulate extra characters and submit them to 'NPC' status in a location on the map. While you cannot live play them anymore, players can encounter them while exploring. Make your own mark on the CORE map and culture!

Characters can take up jobs and have rolls within their village. Characters who do their jobs well can find themselves in positions to be honored!

Make a profit! All things in the CORE world can be bought or sold OOC for most types of currency. Get a super nice dragon and need some USD? Sure! Did you mare have a particularly gorgeous foal? Go ahead and auction off the character. Artists, sell your skills and help others rank up their centaurs. That goes for you too, writers!

Update: Characters now up for adoption! Check out our Adoptions and sales! Character adoption culture and sharable NPCS. I'd like for characters to be able to adopt characters with other roleplay characters as parents. Sometimes they will be foals players chose to abandon, sometimes they will be village raised foals for adoption. I feel like having some sort of adoptable family system will encourage players to interact.



Things that might happen

Super Magic Silly Swords, or SMSSs. Slang for a group of magical items that can be found strewn about the world. Using some form of mysterious magic SMSS's come in a wide range of forms. From swords that summon gusts of wind or bursts of plant life to cloaks that somehow make you smarter! Some weapons will have unknown 'siblings' in the world, having unknown effects and personalities when they meet! The highclass version of a SMSS would have it's own ranks to build onto your ranks. But should you missuse your enchanted device it could break, leave, or even try to kill you!

Rank altering birth stats. Awarded semi-randomly, or sometimes adopted with a character, birth starts will alter the maximum number of ranks one can achieve in a skill. Can be positives and negatives, effects can be positive or negative.
