IC.

The year is 25 ADP.

 

The City of Stormwind is the shining beacon of the Alliance- formed from the races of the Kaldorei, Gnomes, Dwarves, and of course, the noble Humans. Humanity now clings to the city like moths to a flame. Organizations of religion, cast from the north by the Plague. Refugee groups, creating communes and groups within its streets. The various races and their own traditions mixing with the great, white stone architecture of the great city of Azeroth.

 

However, as the House of Nobles rules the Kingdom in the stead of the young Prince, Anduin Wrynn, the lack of presence of the warrior-king Varian Wrynn has caused a divide in the city. The Human-based Guard are unable to stop various riots that have been caused by the backing of the Defias Brotherhood, its claw crawling over the city even from Westfall.

 

Rumors of Government corruption and the presence of the Defias have made many suspicious, and as various murders, at random places and times, pop up around the great, stone city of Stormwind, many start speaking of crawling whispers from the dark corners, shadows, and sewers of the City. A virus has infected the City, and the Chief of the Guard cannot stand it.

 

Going to the House of Nobles, he puts forth a force that would give hope to the people, protect them, but not serve them. They would have greater jurisdiction than the normal Guard. They would still serve the House but would be of the four races of the Alliance, a symbol of the Faction that has made the now crime-infested City as their capital. Fortunately, the divided House of Nobles, or the House of Cons, as the people call them, voted in favor of the formation of this Company.

 

So was born the Lion's Shield, officially the 1st Old Town Homefront Guard Company.

 

 

OOC.

 

Hello, people. Thiccroy here.

 

I've had an idea like this before. A crime-based Sandbox set in SW, during Cataclysm. But it sadly ended during construction, under the name of SW: Noir. Now I return to you, the people, with another offer:

 

Lion's Shield would be a guild set in Vanilla-timeline SW, meaning only four races (or five, if you're including the Quel'dorei) will be playable. The players will take their roles as Guards of a newly formed Company of Guards meant to crack down on the Defias and various other gangs, anti-gov Communes and Groups, as well as suspicious behavior. The story would depend on the actions of the Company men, both individual, and group-based decisions.

 

The story, mostly, would be made of various different stories, and various characters might die along the time, replaced by new ones and new ideas, ways of playing. The fate of Stormwind's Law and Order will depend on the decisions of the players, both OOC and IC.

 

The Guild idea is inspired by various Guilds I've been already, and some stories I've read, and shows I've watched concentrating on True Crime, meaning that it will be a grittier look on Life in SW. Moreso, there won't be many guns or greater technologies we see after Vanilla, meaning you will be mostly in plate armor, with a shield, sword and maybe a crossbow to protect yourself from the hordes of criminals, angry civilians and other, malcontent people.

Got a meme question? Ask it, why not, more traction either way.

you should set a cap on non human races

so for example allow 1/2 nelves, 4/5 dwarves, 1/2 gnomes so u dont get some horrible misrepresentation

maybe half a high elf if you're feeling generous

Correct, but that comes after since this is a simple interest check if anyone is willing to join to help build and set it up in the first place.

Things like that come afterward, but I thank you either way.

Is it a good idea to launch your own phase when you're already DMing for one and the only DM for an entire RP discord of your own creation.

[RoberTheForlorne]

only DM for an entire RP discord of your own creation.

Shhhhhh!!!!

 

 

 

We don't talk about that, sound-kun

I'm being quite serious.

You're overloading yourself despite the fact you've already shown to have difficulty managing the one for periods longer than a day with several days worth of breaks in between.

And it's more than a little unfair to those in both, who you're responsible for advancing the plot since you're the only person controlling the story.

The story idea itself is good lad, but from an OOC aspect, I just don't think its a good idea.

zzz

 

seriously, not trying to be a dick, but this seems right fuckin boring lmao 

[Franksta96]

It's almost as if he thinks we don't know who the House of Nobles is by how many times he mentions House of Nobles in the same paragraph.

real question: vanilla sets are ultimate?

real question: vanilla sets are ultimate?

vanilla sets are basically a must

 

gimme that low polly

 

*Turns on low-res appearances*

[PlayOfTheGame]

while i think it's great that you have all these ideas, i agree with sound; youre already hosting a few projects and it might just burn you out of rp for a long time. i have a lot of ideas for phases but i don't execute them, or i just keep them to private rp because i know that i wont be able to handle it...and i don't want to make it unfair to the rpers and have them have to go through with blockages of rp because of something that's out of their control.

 

interesting idea though. the musical hook at the beginning was quite uh,,,, interesting lol

[Urumir]

no
