Name: Maple McGee
Age: 30
Gender: Female
Appearance: Maple is rather short, about 5’2”, and thin. She’s got a round face filled with round features and eyes like beads of jet. Her hair is about shoulder-blade length and ebony. She’s got warm, apricot-colored skin and a particular fondness for gold jewelry. A few scars here and there, but none that are particularly noticeable.
Personality: Between her skill and lucky streak, Maple’s developed a great deal of confidence. She’s got a willful streak a mile wide. She honest and blunt, and often that comes out as rudeness, whether or not she meant it to. On top of that, she’s got a tendency to make quick and lasting judgements. She’s restless, physically and mentally, almost always fidgeting and rarely staying in one place.
Equipment: Maple fights with a light, thin saber. A specialized hunting pistol if need be.
Specialization: Very agile and a skilled swordsman.
Backstory: She’s a hunter for fun, basically. Maple picked up a rapier at age ten and never looked back. She quickly became an accomplished fencer, but that got old after a while. She needed a change of pace, and enjoyed it when she occasionally had to defend herself from monsters, so she decided to pick it up as a profession.

Maple's Story
- Seen 89 Times • Page 4 of 5 • 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
„Ah, so that's what they've planned for this year. What a coincidence. This tournament will be now easy as pie” Trap laughed. „Every year they're asking me to prepar the field for the tournament, knowing that I don't have a team to participate. I'm going to surprise them. Also, you see, the monsters aren't actually real monsters, more like magical projections. I'm the guy that prepars what type of magical environment the Grounds are showing and I know the guy who creates the monsters”
Maple stretched, cracking her back. “Make it simple then. I don’t know about you, but I like space and as little extra nonsense as possible while I’m working.” Well, she had wished to get back into her dueling days, and here she was, rigging one. Wouldn't her mother would be proud of her, if her mother was proud of anything she did? "But will they let you compete if you design the thing? Or are we going to have to scrounge up somebody else?"
"don't be too sure about that, I once saw a man tore to pieces by a pack of bloodthirsty gnomes. They may look small and harmless but in numbers they can overwhelm just about any foe." He lifted up a sleeve to show a scar on his forearm, a rather nasty bite left behind by the teeth of one of them.
„Actually, that's a good question. But most of them don't even know how I look like, only the masters do. And even if I would end up banned, I could always give you a map for the shortcuts between areas and with useful hidden things I put in the areas. You see, every area has a magical effect, some type of barrier. You can't cross it until all monsters in this area are dead. Or use the shortcut. It's mostly a dead tree trunk very close to the barrier. And items I put here and there are usually traps designed for certain types of monsters, poisons, potions and crossbow bolts or arrows.” It was obvious that Trap loved working with the machinery and bragging about his little surprises.
“Trap the brag master” White chuckled, for it was fitting. He seemed to have a knack for traps, and traps, true master of traps.
The other one, mighty cross man…tough fighter with not so tough emotional stability, and past. Last, maybe swift and deadly female happens to have some family problems, White couldn’t find a nickname for her…not yet.
“ Crossie, Bragie, and who are you again? No offense…” She looked at fencer.

“ Crossie, Bragie, and who are you again? No offense…” She looked at fencer.
“Fine.” Maple jabbed her finger at Trap’s chest. “But just so you know, if it comes down to a ban, I don’t know anything about this.” She shot White a look of some confusion and suspicion when she started talking. “Name’s Maple,” she replied, a little cagey. “And before you try giving me a nickname, I’ve heard them all.”
„If I'm not allowed to join then it'll be okay for you to use my map. The participants should be using everything they can to win the tournament, especially the environment, that's why I have to prepare the hidden places. Most of the participants however, have no idea they can use it and that these arrows they've stumbled on are there on purpose, not because someone accidentally dropped them” Trap explained calmly. He knew all the rules, he wasn't going to make them lose because of rule breaking.
Maple wanted very much to protest further. She didn't like the idea of slinking around like a weasel, but for now it seemed like the most reasonable course of action, so she kept her mouth shut about it. Plus, even if it wasn't the most honorable way to deal with it, she'd still have beaten it. It was better than anyone she knew could say. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's sign up."
“Sure go on, sign in with this crazy idea, I’m sure Braggie here has no plan b if everything goes wrong, but why would you care, it’s fun right?” She asked, trying to be sarcastic.
She didn’t like it either, but no better idea existed for now.

„Shut up, midget vampire. No one asked your opinion now, also, we're doing this to get you out of here.” He looked at Maple. „I need to prepare a map for you. I guess I'll go find some parchment and a person you can use as the third team member if I'll be excluded. Also, it's getting pretty late, so I'm going to invite you for a dinner. Guess we're all a bit hungry.”
Trap showed his new comrades the way to a tent, where his acquiatance was preparing food. He then went towards a merchant's cart, knowing that he could find his writing utensils there. A shiver ran down his spine, when he noticed some movement within his eyes range.
He shook his head. Since the moment he woke up after killing all vampires ten years earlier, he had acquired some sort of sixth sense when dealing with people with murderous intentions. He then knocked on the shield to announce his arrival to the merchant and bought parchment, an inkwell and a pen to write down everything he knew about the field.

Maple gave White a sideways look. “That’s about it, yeah.” She bent and cracked her back again while Trap spoke. “I’ll eat any meal you want as long as you’re paying, she said, swaggering toward the food tent. The stools inside were certainly made for taller people, so she had to hop to get onto one. Waving her hand to attract his attention, she ordered, telling the man serving food that it would be courtesy of “the tall guy with the bear helmet.” She leaned her elbows on the counter and her head on her hand.
White once again was called midget, and her so called "saviors" decided to eat something.
This binding spell was tiring, and she was hungry. Possibly they won’t care - is what she thought, Braggie and the one who heard them all seemed to get along, but that Crossie guy seemed to be in conflict with Braggie.
Everything unsure, so unsure that White was simply tired of it, wondering what to do next – annoy people or simply observe those who hide in shadows.
“What an annoying day, I’m hungry too, and people feast and enjoy all kinds of food in front of me, it’s so unfair…”

Maple chewed on a chunk of poultry, but it was seasoned heavily enough that she couldn’t tell precisely what it was. Still, it was quite good. Her mind wandered back to the vampire in the cage. Maple thought she seemed like trouble, with her inflammatory little remarks and condescending attitude.
She called over the server, removing her earings and passing them on as insurance that the bill would be payed. Giving a message for Davin and Trap, saying where’d she’d gone, she took up her bowl and spoon and headed back to White’s cage.
Maple gave White a cool once over. She certainly wasn’t a midget from the hunter’s perspective, she was actually quite a bit taller than she was. She seated herself comfortably on the ground a few feet away from the cage. For a few minutes, she sat and took her time finishing her meal. When she did speak, she didn’t look at White. “What’s your plan? And before you say anything, I know you want out: I may not’ve gone to school, but I’m not a moron.” She stirred her fork through the remains of cubed meat and vegetables. “But what are you going to do?”

Sudden interest from Maple woke White slightly, she blinked few times before replying…
“As you said I want to be free, beyond that I’m hungry and tired.”
White had to say what she had in mind, or Maple wouldn’t give up – at least that’s what White thought
.
“About my plan… when time is right I’ll just leave, simple as that for hurting any of you is simply bad for my health, in a long run.”
She sighed.
“With all hunters gathered in this place, only big commotion would be enough for me to make an escape. I guess you know what I mean by that, and I’m not one that will cause it…
White smiled, to her each hunter was a simple puppet in a grand scheme of others, only difference was that this puppet was alive - which soon may change for many, if not all.
“I pity you hunter, though at the same time I am astonished.” With it White stopped smiling, and looking at Maple.
White looked behind Maple. Focused she was on a black haired female with seemingly glowing purple eyes, female wore simple robes and carried no weapon, at least no weapon that could be seen. Black smiled at “Midget” yet said nothing. Shay’s right shoulder marked with symbol of Endless school, school that is supposed to be gone.
She kept on smiling as she raised one hand, gesture of waving came just before Black disappeared - when one man obstructed White’s view Shay was simply gone.

“Now why would you pity me.” Maple followed White’s stare over her shoulder, catching a glimpse of Black waving. The corner of her mouth twitched. “Didn’t know you stiffs had friends among the living. That your commotion?” She adjusted herself into a more comfortable sitting position. It was either that woman or it was whatever Trap was planning that was going to give White the cover to escape. Either way, she got the feeling that she’d end up with someone on the end of her rapier.
With Black gone, White sighed. She was also slightly surprised that Maple thought of Shay as someone who wants to create a commotion. White thought about it for a longer time, Shay creating a commotion actually made sense, but Shay would do it for other reasons, not for White.
“I already said why, you are a but a simple puppet…and yet somehow you are more than that.”
There was a short pause.
“We stiffs have friends among living, not all of us are madly searching for blood, blindly killing people you know…” Tone of voice betrayed her - filled with emotions consisting mostly of anger…and maybe bit of grief.

For the first time, Maple looked White directly in the eyes. "I also know a rabid dog gets put down." She scraped up the last dregs of her food and set down the bowl. "Just remember you're walking a fine line and if you do something and the others are too soft, I’ll take care of you myself." Her voice was calm, almost pleasant. She wiped the fingerprints off of the guard of her sword. Perhaps unfortunately for White, she was really the sentimental type.
White laughed.
“Me? Walking on a fine line? It’s rather you hunters that walk on a fine line, but I do believe you would keep your word…”
Maple seemingly calm and almost pleasant felt out of place, not fitting with what she said.
OOC -So I thought it would be good to see who's still here, and that we could use another place for communication just in case, discord server made for this rp to be precise : https://discord.gg/CnCvFEu

Trap hurriedly returned to the place where he left his new companions. He still had some sort of feeling, his skin crawling on his back, hair standing on his forearms and his neck. It wasn't the first time he noticed someone's murderous intent, it saved his life a couple of times. The problem was, he wasn't actually sure if he's the target this time.
He entered the tent but noticed none of his new companions. When he asked for Maple, he was told she left and went towards the vampire's cage. Trap sensed that something odd was going on and he first left his scribbles behind the buffet and then made his way towards the cage. He noticed Maple sitting in front of White, talking to her. Of course, it wasn't a friendly chat, it couldn't be. The shadows were giving him a perfect hideout, so he just sat down and watched the two women.

Maple gave a little laugh. “I always keep my word. Cross my heart and hope to die.” She unhooked her necklace and began polishing that on her sleeve as well. “And I know we are. This entire situation is very tricky for all of us. That’s why I’m glad we’re coming to an understanding: nobody likes bad business.” She wasn’t convinced that she was properly scaring White, but it didn’t matter. Like she said: as long as everyone knew where they stood, she had to be satisfied.
