This is Gonff. Aside from being my first male character in an mmo (heck, in any game where I had a choice), he is something of an experiment for me. I will be rp-ing this poor fellow as hardcore as I can. That means a few very distinct things:
1. He will walk everywhere, unless he has a justified reason to run.
2. If he manages to acquire a horse, he will probably walk the horse for the most part, as you can't run a horse like a race car. It'll collapse.
3. He will only do his adventuring during the day, unless his activities necessitate nocturnal behavior.
4. If, in the course of his adventures, he dies, then he is dead. Honestly, this is the one that scares me the most. I kind of want to run to my friends and see if I can wrangle up a pocket healer, but I don't know how that would fit into his character.
5. He must eat something at least once a day, and I don't mean while standing in front of an orc. He has to sit down, make a camp, and eat. While we are on the subject of making camp, let's talk about resting. He has to rest once at least every couple of in-game days - whether at night or during the day, it does not matter, but for an acceptable length of time. Enough to correlate with several hours sleep in the real world.
6. No use of global chat channels. He doesn't have a palantir, y'all.
7. No transferring of equipment or gold between existing characters on the same account.
8. No knowing things he doesn't know. He doesn't know people's names until they introduce themselves, there are no levels, etc.
9. In-game dialogue must be short and to the point, much like normal conversation. No rambling monologues or story-telling (unless he is asked to tell a story, of course).
10. ALWAYS STAY IN CHARACTER. No brackets, no OOC clarification, nothing. If it's not in character, it does not come out of his mouth.
This character is going to need a lot of patience. Probably a good bit of planning and a quick hand on the HIPS skill if he's to survive. It'd be great to have a buddy on this adventure, one willing to RP it out with me. Any takers? He's on Landroval. Send me a message and let's get going!
