    Meath: Quest for the Diamond Orb [OOC]


    Welcome, wearisome travelers, to the land of Meath.
    Who am I you ask? Devin, proud proprietor of the best tavern in town.
    You have landed here, rather a surprise to us all, and to you as well I gather. Well, once you settle down a bit, please, come in to my fine establishment right down the street there. I've cold ale and hot stew and I'll tell you all about our troubled land. 10 coppers will get you the finest beds in the place if you plan to stay, I really hope you will.


    Ah! The outsiders from earlier, you've come. Now, what would you like to know?




















    Breaking the Fourth Wall

    OOC Information

    The Premise:
    We begin as a group of people, all of whom have been sucked into the generic fantasy land of Meath. While you have no memory of your "rl" life, neither do you have memories of your Meath avatar. You are the fantasy character you created, but have no history, you are-to an extent-a blank slate. However, you do show proficiencies in several skills, all of which you mysteriously know how to perform-be it swordplay or magic or the like.
    Now trapped in a world your character can't fully understand or grasp, you are hurled on a grand quest to retrieve the Diamond Orb. What is the Diamond Orb and it's significance? Only time can tell.

    Rules and Guidelines:


    • Advanced Standards: Please be able to write coherent English, as well as post at least 3 paragraphs. The three paragraphs should move the plot along and include actions, thoughts/description, and dialog if required.
    • This is meant to be a light-hearted tale, heavily character oriented, and a player co-created world. I've set up the basics, we'll fill it in together.
    • Have fun.
    • Be nice.
    • Death will happen. But don't worry, we're in a game universe. Death will cause you to respawn in town, although without any belongings on you. You'll have to retrieve those from the Temple (each city/town has one).
    • No undead-be it lich, vampire or the like. No were-[insert animal]. Only the listed races are playable. Feel there should be something else allowed? PM me and we'll discuss it there.


    Character Sheet:

    Name:Somthing fantasy-like, keep it in line with the general feel of the world please.

    Race: Human, Dwarf, Halfling, Drow, High Elf, "Halfbreeds" (any mix of the previous races listed)

    Humans-70yrs
    Dwarves-200yrs
    Halfling-300yrs
    Drow-400yrs
    High Elf-500yrs
    Halfbreeds-average the two lifespans (human + drow = 70+400 = 470/2 = 235yrs)

    Appearance: Text or image, if an image, please try to find something that keeps the general feel of a fantasy world, but absolutely no anime.

    Class: Use the guide listed below.

    Equipment: Common sense approach, nothing rare to begin with so leather, iron, steel, etc..

    Personality/Flaws: Keep this interesting please, but short. No need to detail an extensive cause and effect on why they are the way they are.

    Your character finds themselves alone while traipsing through a supposedly haunted forest. They hear a particularly spooky noise...: Just give me a little vignette, 3-5 paragraphs, filling in what they would do, what they find, how they fight/run, etc etc...

    Class Creation:
    • Blades [1 handed or 2 handed swords, daggers, axes, etc]
    • Blunt [maces, mauls, hammers, morning stars, etc]
    • Marksman [bows]
    • Hand-to-hand [no weaponry]
    • Block [shields]
    • Heavy Armor
    • Light Armor
    • Sneak
    • Speechcraft [charm, fear, and getting good deals]
    • Alchemy [brewing potions and poisons]
    • Rune-Crafting [buffing through use of runes for armor and weaponry ]
    • Conjuration [summon spirit animals/creatures]
    • Healing
    • Elemental Magic [fire, air, earth, water]

    1. Pick TWO of the above skills to have as your MAJOR skills. [Proficient]
    2. Pick FOUR of the above skills to have as your MINOR skills. [Novice]
    3. Detail what each skill makes your character capable of. To begin with, no more than 3 spells per type of magic for a major skill and 1 for a minor, and only 1 type of weapon for that skill set for either major or minor.

    Name:
    Kar Bladebeard
    Race:
    Dwarf
    Age:
    84
    Appearance:

    Class:
    Mercenary
    Major Skills:
    *Blades
    --Kar can more than hold his own against any one person with a blade.
    *Block
    --Kar is fairly quick to guard with his shield, making many attacks much less likely to hit him.
    Minor Skills:
    *Wind Elemental
    --Air Burst (shoots a weak blast of wind at an opponent, only useful as a distraction, or to create a diversion)
    *Sneak
    --While not undetectable, Kar is able to move around without making too much noise.
    *Speechcraft [Fear]
    --Kar is able to talk his opponents into giving into fear, or using it to intimidate people into talking. However, anyone with a moderately strong will won't be persuaded as easlily.
    *Light Armor
    --Kar wears light leather armor, and is able to move proficiently while wearing it.
    Equipment:
    *Single-handed, double edged longsword made of steel
    *Medium-sized steel shield
    *Leather Body Armor, Wood Helm, Leather Gauntlets, and Leather Boots
    Personality/Flaws:
    Kar is, by and large, the strong, silent type. While he tends to push people away, he will make friends. However, don't expect him to be a conversation starter.
    *Reasonable: Kar is generally not one to lose his head or make a rash decision... usually.
    *Challengemonger: Kar is not one to let a challenge go by unanswered. If it comes to testing his prowess, the Dwarf will let all reason go to heck and take the challenge on.
    *Snarktastic: When he does become talkative, at least 60% of it is making some sarcastic comment or other.
    *"Little" Cynic: One just goes with the other. While being a sarcastic person, Kar is also very cycnical.

    Druid WIP

    Name
    Gwilwîlethien Dîneien Colfinniël
    (Butterfly | Silent | Golden hair)
    Aka Aessa (Holy) or Whisper

    Appearance

    Shorter than most High Elves, she stands at 1.69 meters (5ft 6.53in). Like any elf, her ears are elongated and pointed, though they don't make her look any taller. She has almond shaped eyes holding a cheerful twinkle within the orbs shaded like a clear lagoon. Her skin is pale and smooth, always blemish free. Tresses of platinum hue cascade down her back, extending just past her knees. Her figure is well kept, not overtly curvy, but not without. The muscle tone on her body isn't much, but enough to show she's no slacker. The features of her face are delicate and gentle, like that of any elf. With pouty lips and a soft gaze, she seems to always have a look of kindness on her face. Tattoos decorate two parts of her body. Her back sports a large butterfly, a tiger's face upon its wings while flowers of all kinds and colors branch out from it. Her right arm is covered down to the wrist with Druidic prayers for protection, guidance, wisdom, and good health from Sylvana in Elven.


    Race
    High Elf

    Age
    187 - Basically a teenager

    Gender
    Female

    Class
    Arch-Druid

    Major Skills
    Elemental Magic {Earth/Plant} & Healing

    Minor Skills
    Marksmanship, Conjuration, Alchemy, & Sneak

    Spells:
    Elemental Magic
    While Aessa has the ability to make plants and animals act upon her will without spells, to use them in battle actually does require spells. One of her more commonly used spell is called Tukali or Tangle. This spell will cause plants around her target to extend and grow, wrapping them up tightly, sometimes to the point of suffocation or crushing of the bones.

    A followup to Tukali is Piecu which will cause burrs and thorns to grow upon the plants that are wrapping her target which can cause uncomfortability or even death from piercing.

    Olva Sarsa is perhaps her strongest offensive ability using plants, in which she summons a carnivorous plant that is six feet in height. This plant looks much like the ones in Mario games. But its black and orange. The carnivorous plant will act upon her will and eat anything that comes within range.

    Skills
    Though few know, Gwilwilethien is a skilled artist and singer, though she's never had much luck with instruments. She's always had a knack for cooking, though her knowledge of herbs and spices could have something to do with it. As a Druidic trait, she has some ability to communicate with animals.

    Gear
    -Her torso is graced with snug silks of a violet hue, matching undergarments. Silk with intricate floral designs hang from her hips. She's often seen wearing gloves that are held on by a slip of cloth that wraps about her middle finger. The simple golden circlet of a Druid that has reached the Inner Circle adorns her brow. She never wears shoes, only anklets. Her hair is often adorned with feathers, her silks with two Druid charms. The charms on her clothes may seem to be just trinkets, but each one is special - A bear for endurance, giving her clothes properties of steel armor. A cat for grace, making it impossible for them to get in her way. In battle, when not using her Druid abilities, she proves herself formidable with a well-crafted yew longbow. She keeps a travel bag and basket with her storing various medicinal and travel supplies.

    Alignment
    Neutral good

    Personality
    Gwilwilethien is shy. She is a kind spirit with a soft spot for felines. She doesn't mind the company of others, but she liked the quiet. Though she looks sensitive, she's not. She is extremely bright and touch, uncaring for the mean things people had to say. She's very observant and prefers to assess a situation before diving in, rarely ever just jumping without looking first, so to speak. She's very patient and understanding, always seeking all facets of the truth before coming to a conclusion and passing judgement. Whisper has a bit of a temper issue. She lets her anger build up for quite a while before exploding finally at even the smallest thing. When in such a rage, everyone is a target and her tantrums last at least two hours. She is also a bit of a cheapskate. She grew up by simple means and never understood why people needed countless extravagant things.

    I have twenty-six characters to write for and the list is ever growing. Do not. Ever. Rush me. I will get everyone in a timely fashion.

    Ok guys, a couple things to consider.

    These characters have no past in this world. They are going to literally "wake up" and exist in this fantasy world. Considering that, they will have absolutely no backstory. No history, no reasons for why they are the way they are. Keep this in mind as you write your CS's and if already written, please take a look over your sheet and make sure that you haven't added in elements of a back story. Use my sheet as a guide to what I'm looking for.

    Second, I'll be adding this to the CS skelly in the OP, but I'm going to need to see a little sample of writing since there is no background to fill out, also, it'll give me a first hand look at how your character will react to certain situations ^.^

    Look up above to the CS skelly again, I should have posted it, but got distracted
    There's a situation I'd like to see how your char would respond to is all. Just edit it into your post with the CS.
