Inheritance RPG ~ Character/OOC Thread
sorry about the delay guys, I didn't see Ush's post for the go head until now.
my little sister erased all of my PMs, so it's first come first serve for the Dragon Rider positions.
Inheritance RPG
I suggest that all players read at least one, if not both, books in Paolini’s series.
An RP based on the Inheritance Series! It will follow the storyline that Paolini has created, but not exactly. Dragon Riders, magic, adventure. So yes, knowing the book would be helpful, otherwise you will get quite confused.
We will start of as Eragon did, but from multiple points of view. The basic plot line will be kept, but a new storyline will be followed, that is the storyline created by the players.

Characters (original):
Original characters canNOT be riders.
Species:
Dwarf – A stout, hearty race, dwarves are closely allied with the Varden. They are true of heart and good friends.
Elf – This pointy-eared, fair race is considered to be wise and quick. It is difficult to disarm, let alone defeat an elf. After Du Fyrn Skulblaka (the Dragon War), they all but withdrew to their city of Ellesméra.
Human – Having the largest population in Alagaësia, humans are not natives to this land. It is believed that they came from a land south of Surda and the Beor Mountains. Unlike the Dwarves and elves, humans are not incredible strong, but rather average physically and mentally.
Ra’zac – A creature that hatches from eggs, the Ra’zac serve Galbatorix because he saved there kind from extinction. They are believed to have originated from the same homeland as humans. Ra’zac is the term that applies to their pupae forms with look like deformed humans with exoskeletons. After twenty years as pupae, they shed their exoskeletons and emerge as the winged creatures that the Ra’zac use as mounts.
Shades – A Shade can be any of the species residing in Alagaësia. Such a being is formed when a magic user summons a spirit stonger than himself and the spirit summoned turns on the summoner. After a Shade is created, there is no way to reverse the process. Abnormal strong and virtually immortal, the only way to kill a Shade is to stab it through the heart.
Urgal – A species which resembles men with bowled legs; think, brutish arms; and twisted horns, which grow from behind their ears, Urgals are considered to me monsters, but rather are quite smart in their own ways. They are good allies, and strong enemies to overcome.
Werecat – Able to take the form of humans and cats, this race is abnormally wise and magical.
Occupations:
Assassin – trained murderers, working either for the Varden or Galbatorix
Farmer – honest to God, plain men who work for a living. They live in fear under Galbatorix’s rule. Some of the braver ones may join up with the Varden, while some of the more self serving may join Galbatorix.
Magic user – Yes, you can use magic! But, you must remember that in order to do a task, you must put in as much energy as it would take to do it without magic. And the energy? It comes from you! There are various types of users: healers who use a mixture of magic and herbs; magicians and witches who use just magic; seers who can see into the future; and those who are in tune with nature. You may be allied with Galbatorix or the Varden.
Merchant – the trade controllers. Were all of the Empire’s merchants to turn against him, Galbatorix would have a major problem.
Warrior – only the bravest of all would chose to stand with Eragon against Galbatorix. These are all the people courageous enough to stand up for what is right. Wyrda be kind to those who stand against evil and fight for Alagaësia.
Once again, if I have forgotten anything, please notify me.
Concerning the Ancient Language:
I am trying to find away to compensate for the lack of knowledge surrounding this topic, any information or suggestions about it would be of much help.
