I need a fantasy RPG. It is my genre of choice; I have been out of it for quite some time. I will be upfront about the following: I can be picky. I am also not that big a fan of required face claims. If I can modify them, describe my character's other features, or just not use them--I am a happier camper. I will make a list of my requirements below:

Canons I will accept: Harry Potter, Super-hero related, Skyrim, Lies of Locke Lamora and anything related to Tamora Pierce

• Nothing set in modern times - I find nothing fantasy or fantastical about it. If it's any earlier than the 1980s, feel free to throw it at me.I adore Victorian, futuristic, and medieval settings
• Something with a wide variety of plots that does not focus on the following: constant fighting, constant love making, or a complicated statistics system.
• If your only species is humans--do not bother posting an advertisement. I want magic of some sort. I would also prefer a site that had at least three or four playable species.
• Please be aware that I enjoy making odd, villainous, morally ambiguous, and cursed citizens. Do not post if you do not allow darker concepts: alcoholism, drug-use, etc.
• If everything requires a template--like for posts--please do not post.
• I would prefer a site with posts that average over 200 words
• No Invisionfree, ForumMotion, or Icyboards please. Jcink or Proboards are preferred; self-hosted is fine as well.

Alright, so I have two sites that came to mind for you.

SHAMBALA
which is an east asian rp. set somewhere way back in history. there's several species around three, but i don't remember exactly if fc are required or not, but the site itself seems really fun. proboards hosted, word count 150, most things are o-okay on the board it seems.

LAND OF SKYRIM
the only skyrim based rp that i know of. it's pretty fun, no word count, no required fcs, and jcink hosted. rated m so most if not all themes are allowed as long as you tag it.

I am actually a staff member on Shambala; I love that place and the curse aspect. I was looking at Lands of Skyrim as well--it's a beautiful site.

The faceclaim thing is not as important as it once was--I'm more open. I just like if my guy can have scars, a missing limb, or be obese--which is hard to find a perfect match for with a claim.

Ambrosia, as I adore mythology, would be perfect if not for being modern day. I love that idea and wish you the best.

Thank you. : )

I would still love one of these! Bump! I don't bite--throw something at me, even if it doesn't really fit the requirements.

well okay time to show my shameful baby

Lament of Hearts

It's like mostly complete and rp-able and stuff, but it's Zelda based; a lot of AU, but.. there's 13 races. I'm sure you can find one you like in there somewhere. xD Also, I do have a face claim list, but you aren't REQUIRED to have one; I'm pretty open minded and free form. XD There's also chances to help out with racials and subboards, so I think that's nice. Considering it lets members decide what they want to play in, and with what they want to play with. sorta.

But yeah, there's like one statish thing, but it's mostly to help development growth and such things; let me know how you feel about it!

NOTE: I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT DARK CHARACTERS? BRING THEM TO ME PLZ. I LOVE THAT KINDA THING.

Final Fantasy Guardians

I'm not sure if this will entirely fit your taste but I'll give it a shot. Nothing here is modern it's actually a bit more futuristic in some parts. At least some of the settings are. Like most Final Fantasy Games, there is a lot of fighting, air ships, Guilds, shops, etc. It's a mature Role Play so there will be profanity, love making, families, etc.
There are 10 different races and more to come soon.
Every month there will be Tournaments between Guilds to see which Guild comes out on top. There will be brackets of fights that are 1v1 or 6v6. There will also be other fun events like Gender Bending, Going back in time, etc. But they're all optional.
There is an improvement system where you can come up with your own skills that no one else will be able to copy. You can learn skills from different classes as well. For example, a Black Mage Archer. Each Character will be given a Tier to determine their strength level and to raise it, they must fight and train to prove they have grown stronger. As you go up in Tier, you get access to learn more original skills.
