Welcome to Imythess, the border between dreams and reality. We hope you enjoy your visit.

Imythess is a creative writing board where you narrate the story of a character in the medieval land of Imythess, on the planet Chaon. Each topic is an opportunity for your character to interact with the world and its peoples by cooperatively writing pieces of a story with other members, one post at a time. We call this role-playing, because you assume the identity of your character as if it were your own.

In order to play, you must register an account for each character you would like to write about, and begin their tale by filling out their basic profile information: Race (human, elf, demon, etc.), class (warrior, mage, etc.), physical appearance, and any other personal details you would like to describe. You are also encouraged to come up with some background history information for what your character's life has been like up to the point at which their story in Imythess begins.

There is no approval process or application required to join, so long as you follow the rules then you are free to write whatever character details you choose. Registration is simple, fast, and completely free.

I would say you should have both, royalty would govern the people, and the gods would have devighn power over everything.

Well, its not so bad if its on another world/land. I just mean people who made their characters a royal in Imythess itself. :)

By why royal background? Half the people/characters on this site aren’t from a royal background. It isn’t like it would make the royals better if they had that background. In fact I think it might just make them worse whereas commoners would have a wider view on the situations because they would have, at one point in their lives, lived through some of them.
You are right though in one part, Activeness should be a high factor in it... I also think that the character itself should be looked at. Say, for instance, that Adsero (no offense Devin, you know we all love your charry) wanted to be Lady of Kellen, would anyone really want that. Not only can she not read, write, she’s a kleptomaniac and she seems to burn down the Green Gryphon at least once a month. In mind my, that’d mean making Adsero ruler/royalty of Kellen would only lead to the village’s downfall.

I also think that, should Laoura decide to do royalty, that the chosen character should make sense for the part. I mean, why would pick a character that lives in Talas, or stays there to be Emperor/Emperss of the desert city? That doesn’t make any sense to me.

I’m opinionated, can anyone tell? ^-^;

Yea I voted both too, but I agree with some others. I like royalty better, and think that it should come first. It would be better to start up demigods or somethings like that when we hit another member milestone.

But also I think that the abilities of these positions should be limited, and frankly if someone already has a high position here, I don't think that they should ask for other positions <_< As in I agree with Aeri, Knights of Imythess should not be demigods or royalty. They already have nice positions, both IC and OOC. Because believe it or not, they are known as the Knights of Imythess. If you think about it, its would be a pretty well known position, and it is.

And yes, I think that that royalty should be sort of upper-class compared to most other members. Unless theyre like a rogue princess or something, which I read about a lot. Actually, that would be kind of cool. And yes, wars based on political affairs would be nicer than wars that are, well, just made up!

Also, I don't think that all royalty should have like a royal history. Think of politics today. In most cases, leaders of countries were not brought up by family that ran a portion of/entire country. And if you've read my history, you'll notice I wasn't born a god. Oppel was mortal for a larg portion of his life. Divinity was acquired, as royalty can be.

:blink: From what I was told The knights of Imythess is entirely occ and not IC. If they were to go by the title Ic I might have delayed my application more. I have this thing against knights.

Royalty should be able to apoint people into certainimportant positions over their kingdom. They should also be able to appoint guards they find trust worthy. The jobs would work like the mundane job only they would be kept until the person is either fired or quits.

Mmm I guess both would be ok. But you know the old saying, to many cooks ruin the soup.

*pats Renate* Now we have a back-up position in case we fail for the God/dess of Darkness position! :lol:

lmao. That's hilarious. And very true.

Anyway, I really hope there will be royalty. No kingdom should be without kings and queens. I'd like to be a countess or dutchess. Will you have those too? I hope so.

I cannot say this with any assurance, but it looks like, at the very least, the royalty, if not the demigods as well, have enough positive feedback for implementation :).

I agree with Sargoth. We've all been very postive. What about a new roleplay area? The Royal Palace or something? Or we could give the palace a name or something. Sorry if I get a bit carried away. I'm very excited. ::excited::

Lol, it makes sense to make a new thread for any royalty, a palace of sorts that is tuned for each area. Not exactly large like a temple, but just a thread under the ruler's supervision for a degree of formality and uniformity in roleplay :). Good idea Lady Renate.

Well the lord/Lady wouldn't have a big palace, but the king/queen or emporer/emporess might have a palace to rival some of the temples.

I would need more convincing than that. For example, Great Britan during the time of the thirteen colonies had only a moderately extravagant home for the king compared to the vast Anglican church. Perhaps there could be some differentiation between "homes" based off the financial state of the area, but rarely if ever do you see any one person with enough wealth and disrespect to overdo any primary religious institution. If I'm not mistaken, I believe one of the responsibilities of the King at that time was to further the religion, including donations and taxes to assure the greatest structures and statues possible.

~pops in~ I'm sorry if what I am saying is repeating anything that has been discussed before now, but I only have a few seconds and have to post quickly. I skimmed over this royalty poll and I was wondering if I would have to change my whole character if this is implemented seeing as she is a High Lady? I'm just curious if this would put restrictions on people's character creating freedoms. I based my whole character on being a Lady and I would have to rewrite everything (character journal/history/description) if it was something that would be appointed. Sorry if what I'm saying makes no sense whatsoever, I just finished studying Biology. :blink:

Well, first of all, you would make a great candidate for the spot :). On a less optomistic note, there is nothing stating that there were no past rulers, and someone can be a lady without being the unquestioned ruler. Therefore, you have nothing to worry about, Astra.

~wipes sweat from brow~ Thank goodness, I was scared I'd have to change my character and I was just starting to feel comfortable RPing as her. I actually never considered applying for a position before. ~ponders~ I understand that Laoura is trying to decided between demigods and royalty but what are their duties? Are they simply a higher class of RPer or do they have OOC responsibilities like Moderators? Thanks by the way for thinking I would be a good candidate! :lol:
