The journey, <looking for people>

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby danqaz on Tue Oct 27, 2009 7:50 am

Setting: A Fantasy setting, beggining in the town of Lurthole, Two elven brothers are sent on a quest to slay a beast thats very existance poses a threat to compleatly wipe out the elven race, these brothers set off to the Lurthole markets for supplies but also find a few allys that may help them on their quest.

This role play is going to be a travelling R-P in which the group of soon to be hero's (can't be well known hero's before to story begins) set out to destroy this beasts and once again bring peace to the world, while over coming many obsticles.

Character sheet: Both the Elven brothers parts have been reserved, your character must meet up with the siblings in the town of Lurthole somehow.

Name: (1st and last)
age:(please no under 16 year olds, its unrealistic)
race:(i would suggest you'd go with a well known race, but if you do decide to make your own, include alot of backstory and a good description of your race along with any special abilities, nothing over powered
Appearence:(no pictures)
Clothing:
Weapons:(be realistic with how much they can carry)
other items:
backstory:(Just needs to be enough for us to understand the character and their personality, but very descript ones would also be very nice
Any special abilities:(nothing over powered)
transportation:(horse, donkey, or any thing else, you can make up an animal, preferably not flying)
anything else we might need to know:

rules: -My friend and I who are playing the elven brothers can only control story line, you can control minor characters, and things that happen, but no absolutly major changes
-swearing is allowed but dont go crazy, keep it realistic
-do not character control
-follow the character sheet
-even though its fantasy, im still a nut about realism so keep it realistic
-make posts as long and descriptive as possible


I will be posting my character sheet soon. but i will approve any sent in here as soon as possible.

You may join, adrianna, so long as you supply a good character sheet :D.


heres mine
Name: Zeirat Lethen

age:19

race:Elf

Appearence: around 180 cm tall (6 foot) the front of his hair is silver but as it goes back down to his neck it moulds into a dark brown, his long ears are curled at the end to simpolise magic, his skin is very pail and he is very thin

Clothing:leathure pants and boots along with a dark purple cloth jacket with a hood that he only equipts at cirtain times, he carries around a large brown back pack that his mother made for him when he was much younger

Weapons: a short bow with 10 arrows and a small sharp dagger for emergancies, he usually relies on magic

other items:a small binding stone to a cirtain spirit, a sack he uses like a sleeping bag, some flint and tinder, a letter he had his parents right that keeps him calm if he ever were to get lost when he was younger

backstory:Zeirat is the youngest, often over shadowed by his older brother, but this did not destroy his friendship with his brother who is almost worshiped, not many people in the village wanted to be friends with an elf like Zeirat, he was trained as a magic weilding elf, but he never really had the gift of using it well. When Zeirat was 17 he ran into a spirit, who just calls himself the spirit, it is a crafty spirit that knows what it wants, and it made an offer to Zeirat, to bind with him, in order to increase his abilities in magic significantly, Zeirat accepted the offer, although occasionally the spirit takes over Zeirat and acts like a split personality of Zeirat, it has effected his life significantly, especially with the extra attention.

Any special abilities:control over the elements and minor levitation abilities

transportation: non, but he is searching. the city may be a good stop.

anything else we might need to know: the binding stone has the ability to remove and rejoin the spirit to his body, in case he didn't need magic for a little while and didn't feel like a split personality disruption.

Name: Asura Korlwin

age: 18

race: elf

Appearance: standing at about 5'9, weighing around 48 kilos, her figure is one of the considered 'beauties' back in her hometown of GreenFrost, her silver hair reaches down past her arse slightly, her skin tone is fair. Her eyes are of emerald green, and lips of a slight pink shade.

Clothing: light chain mail underneath the clothes that she wears to protect her upper body, she wears a simple black robe on the inside, underneath the black robe she wears a simple soft silk mini skirt, not like anyone's going to be daring enough to peek at her, and a dark blue cape around her body, on both the upper right side robe and the cape, has her family crest embedded on it, a picture of a phoenix made out gold coloured threads, she wears long black leather gloves and long leather boots that creeps up to her thighs.

Weapons: magic infused katana

other items: spell book, and a pouch of healing herbs

backstory: Asura was born of the noble family, as one she had to learn many things as soon as she knows how to walk, run and talk, and unfortunately for her, both of her parents came from noble families as well, her father a swordsman, her mother an elementalist, from young she was forced to learn swordsman ship and controlling or summoning the elements.

At the age of 6 her close combat skill and style edges very close to katana usage, and so her father changed her training method to the katana style. And her element control have just started to strive in a few elements that she can control better than others, fire and ice.

To Asura as a child she had always wanted to be with the other children of her age to play and relax just like them, but that was dashed during her childhood, as her time as just training and learning the way of nobles, and the family's skills of swordplay and element calling.

Asura was finally free from the chains of her family when she has hit the age of 16, the age that all children should learn how to be independent some were sent away, others had to start working and feed themselves, on her birthday her parents gave her a katana, it's blade was in a transparent light blue. Her parents smiled at her as they watch her leave the town gates alone, they only waved and said, "good bye my child, we shall met again in 4 years time... when you are a grown women" Asura was sent away, to have a look at the world. And she was to return in 4 years time, or her parents will track her down.

On the first month after leaving GreenFrost, Asura was lost in the forest surrounding GreenFrost, for about a week she was wondering aimlessly in the forest until one day, it started to rain, Asura quickly found a cave for shelter and stayed there waiting for the rain to subside, while waiting, she fell asleep from fatigue that day.

When Asura woke up the following day, she found herself snuggling up against something or someone... as she felt warmth, softness... and fur... 'fur?' Asura thought to herself, she rubbed her eyes sleepily as she sat up against the creature she was sleeping with, lifting up her head, her eyes widen in shock and surprise, a unicorn, damp and wet, she took out a small piece of cloth as she started to dry the unicorn with it, when she woke it up. it just looked at her for a while before returning to sleep, Asura continued to dry the beautiful beast before her, it was believed that unicorns have already extinct or is near extinction, having to see one and even touch one she felt, honored.

As she was about to leave the cave, the unicorn woke up and started to follow her, after about a few hours of walking in the forest aimlessly out of annoyance and anger, Asura screamed "How do I get out of here?!" the unicorn bent his head down low, and charged at Asura from behind almost instantly picking her up onto his back, he galloped to the edge of the forest and stopped, Asura jumped down happily after clutching onto him for dear life. she smiled at the unicorn and waved goodbye to him as she started to walk towards the closest town, the unicorn followed her, when a voice invaded her mind, "sulfur, is my name"

Any special abilities: elemental control (magic)

Transportation: unicorn

OOC: I'm the older brother. And sorry for the late post.

Name: Crisden (Kriz-den) Lethen
age: 23
race: Elf
Appearence: Crisden is a strong, well musceled elf from years of training and fitness. He is quite large for an elf (giving people the idea that he might be clumsy) but he stills moves with their same grace and elegance. He has well defined cheek and jaw bones and his ears are about the average for males of his race. Crisden has long silky blond hair (parted at his forehead), that ends just below his shoulders which is unfortuantely concealed whenever he wears his helmet.
Armour: Crisden wears a full set of chainmail under a complete set of steel plate armour. It is what one would expect from elven crafters, a slim elegant design that does not particuarly restrict movement while still keeping with the usual amount of protection. Crisden also wears a long blue cape that is trimmed along the bottom with a silver ivy pattern. This he is particuarly proud of, as it represent his rank and position in the knighthood.
Clothing: When not in combat (or not expecting combat), Crisden wears a simple outfit of a pale white gambeson, simple black breeches and a pair of supple leather boots.
Weapons: Crisden carries a long steel sword given to him by his father as a gift for completing his training and his acceptance into the elven knighthood. This usually is hanging by his side in a well oiled sheath, ready at all times for battle. He also carries a round steel buckler for additional protection in a melee which he usually has strapped across his back.
other items: Flint and tinder, small axe for cutting firewood, shortbow and arrows for hunting and a pouch of gold to purchase supllies at a nearby city. He also carries a dagger concealed in his left boot and wears only a shortsword with his clothing.
backstory: From a young age Crisden was singled out from amongst candidates from across the land. He had the obvious bulk required by those joining the knighthood but also had an unexpected flare of agility which made him the perfect warrior. His father watched on eagerly as Crisden progressed in skill and rank until he came to the final test of initiation. Single combat with one of the elven knights. His father gave him a brand new sword for the fight and told him to fight well. Crisden bested his opponent after a long, arduos fight but would not finish his opponent as tradition dictated. He instead helped his worthy opponent recover, and for his noble actions was accepted. This was the beginning of a long, hard career for Crisden... a career that was just beginning.
Any special abilities: Nil
transportation: A majestic white stallion named Frerair, his gift for the completion of the duel.
anything else we might need to know: He is extremely protective of his little brother and therefore will always stick up for him, even when not required or asked for. He used to protect him when they were younger and so he has bonded deeply with his brother.

Sure, you can join. Just post your character using the character sheet provided and post it here. If it's approved the two brothers are meeting all the players in the market of a local city and so you will join up with them there.

Name: Dark Nyghtwish

Age: 18

Race: Ishoanamaku

Appearance: Dark has pitch black hair that goes almost to his shoulders and tends to drape over his deep metallic silver eyes. He is of lean but muscular build and stands six feet tall. He has some scars on his body, the only one usually seen is the one over his left eye, from his temple to his collar bone. He has cat ears and a cat tail.

Clothing: Dark wears a black shirt and black pants with lots of pockets. He sometimes has a dark cloak on and leather vambraces that hide his hidden blades. He finds foot wear uncomfortable, so he bare foot.

Weapons: Dark carries a battle knife, throwing knives, two hidden blades, and a hunting knife.

Other items: A necklace with his tribal symbol on it and two black rings with silver designs on the that are worn on each middle finger.

Backstory:
Ishoanamaku- The Ishoanamaku are a more tribal race that shift their form. Rarely any reach full power and are able to do complex transformations, which would be anything over 16 feet tall, such as dragons or giants. The Ishoanamaku can live too the same age as elves but not many live that long. They are part animal in appearance, having the ears, tail, and/or horns of the animal born after. They worship ancient spirits, their Great Ancestor Spirits. They believe the Great Ancestor Spirits will guide them to the heavens. They live in tree huts deep in the forest. They have hunters extremely adept in stealth and trap making and warriors called blade dancers, who are the fiercest and most skilled swordsmen. They tend to keep to themselves but have open trade routs with other cultures as they have thing each other needs. Trade is most open with the elves. The men and women are equal, unlike in most tribal races. The age for an Ishoanamakian to be considered an adult is sixteen. They must pass a ritual to become a hunter, a blade dancer, or leave the village.

Dark Nyghtwish- Dark was always curious growing up and got into a lot of trouble, sometimes with the elves. He has trained rigorously all his life to prepare to become a blade dancer and leave the village to travel the world. His parents wished he would take the time to relax more, but were none the less proud of his work. Dark also worked hard to train his powers of transformation so one day he could lead his tribe, if he felt the same way after his travels. When he came of age he went through the ritual to become a blade dancer. He was badly injured but passed. At the age of seventeen he went through the ritual to leave the village. He passed that ritual with ease. On the day he left his parents were proud of him and had some gifts to remember them by. His father gave him the weapons he now has. His mother gave him a necklace with the tribal symbol on it and two black rings with silver designs on them.

Any special abilities: Heightened senses, speed, strength, and agility.

transportation: Transforms

Anything else we might need to know: He is very curious and sometimes unpredictable, which leads him into trouble at times.

Well, its good, but mabey give him a diferent race, he can still have the shapeshifting properties, but limit them so they are not overpowered, you can make your own race, born with shapeshifting properties, but give a bit of history on them, other then that, its all good.

Let me see what I can do... Although I chose shape shifter so I could avoid making my own race. I've been having writers block when it comes things like that. I don't know why.

If I have to rethink his race, exactaly what kind of stuff do I need to tell about it? I ask so I know how much rethinking I'm going to have to do.
