Again, that makes sense.

Okay.. I didn't know we were supposed to do that. I mean, my character is all but written, but hopefully someone will still work with me.

I'm making a human thief girl who was raised by goblins. At the outset of the story, she probably won't speak any human language, and will have a limited understanding of certain concepts. But she'll be eager and kind to those who show kindness to her. So I think friend or enemy will work well in either case, as she won't have blood siblings.

Any takers?

I'm game for it.

This sounds pretty amazing. I would like to join in as well (if there are no objections.)

If anyone is still looking for a partner, I was thinking of creating a human char. A mercenary with a bit of an arrogant but not unpleasant attitude. If anyone is interested in partnering up, feel free to PM me to discuss.

Hooray! ^__^ PM me aside when you get the chance today. I'm about to be gone for the next... *counts on fingers* 7 or so hours, so you have time!

No objections Shanks, just make sure to find yourself a partner before you make your CS.

So is each pair of characters gonna meet up with other pairs? or are our stories just gonna happen at the same time?

The beginning will have you all coming in on a ship. So at the beginning you'll all be in the same place. The first bit will give time for everyone to talk a little bit before you make landfall.

So at least one character in a pair needs to have some form of magical aptitude of some sort, if that's the case my bare bones character before any real thought will be a human mage. I don't do that very often if at all so it would be a nice change of pace.

Sorry, double post.

Yeah at least one of them has to have magical aptitude of some sort. Any pairs working on CSs yet? It's been a couple days.

I'm about done with my CS.

I'm itching to get this thing started. I got lots of plans!

I'm still lookin.

Can both RPer's characters be mages if so I think I will be your RP partner Pathfinder, and maybe have a master & apprentice relationship going on, if both you, and dext are ok with it, but we are going to have to work on the CS sheets tomorrow, since I think I'm about to go to sleep soon, it is awfully late over here.

Yeah that's fine with me. And yes both can be mages, but if that's the case one does need to not be a master magician.

Getting my profile together.

yay. I wanna start! :D

History: Jinayah was born to a pair of nomadic adventurers, a warrior and a small-time air mage. Her parents were decent adventurers with terrible luck. Their lives were taken by a thug gang near the mountains. Luckily said gang had some form of heart- they left the now-orphaned baby Jin alone, wailing in the forest. Baby Jin cried her little eyes out, but when her parents did not wake, she started to wander. She made it into a series of caves and busied herself trying to catch fireflies.

It was here that her fate was changed forever. The evening time is when the local goblin village went to gather and forage. They found the innocent baby playing there at the mouth of one of their caves. She showed no fear of them, and in fact, seemed more curious about their ears than anything else. After a lot of discussion and a trip to the village elder, it was decided. As there was no human settlement within a short traveling distance, the goblins decided to raise the child as one of their own.

Like any goblin orphan, little Jin became the village's child, raised by all, taught by all, and loved by all. The goblin children learned to accept the tiny-eared, brown skinned, skinny human as just another one of them. Life was happy for Jin, for the most part. Sometimes she slept and dreamt of screaming, but for the most part, she learned to work, fight, and live. The goblins discovered she was a natural thief, already drawn to shiny things like a magpie. They taught her to hone that talent, to move silently and swiftly. When she was about ten, her magic started to show, the gift of the winds. The few magicians in the village trained her to harness those skills, but she showed much more promise in the physical arts than the magical.

When her coming of age was at hand, she chose to go out in the world and seek a fortune for the village, to make her name great and make everyone proud. She was seen off with much love, luck and tears, to make her way in the world.

The first city she came to opened her young eyes to the world. Goblins are traders by nature, exchanging one useful thing for another. Jin had no concept of money or price, and when she tried to trade useful quartz for an apple at a human vendor's cart, she was laughed at, then chased away. She spent days hungry, and finally resorted to stealing when she was ignored by everyone who she tried to get help from.

Korlash, an elven city guard caught up with her when she was stealing one night. She managed to escape, but the massive ham she'd swiped was left behind to him. After that, they encountered each other many more times. Jin was very good at escaping, but Korlash pushed her to the limits. Once, after such a chase, she followed him home and helped herself to some of his food. He chased her out, but she returned a week later. Soon, he became more or less used to her, as she never tried to hurt him, and never took more than food. Eventually, he allowed her to sleep there during nights with bad weather, and began to teach her the local language as well as etiquette.

Paired character: Jin
Connection with paired character: When Korlash first encountered jin, she had stolen some food and he went to chase her down. When he finally caught up to her, he saw she was thin and hungry and decided to let her go, but managed to retrieve the food. After his first encounter with her he began encountering her more and more, always chasing her down. One night after guard duty, he went back to his house. What he found was jin foraging through his food. He managed to chase her out but not without her stealing some food. Soon afterwards she returned and started going through his food again. Tired of her antics he let her stay and eat, and even began teaching her proper etiquette and the language of the land.

History: Korlash was an elf born into a highly religious village. During his childhood, Korlash began to hunt, something forbidden in his village. When he returned to his village with his first kill, he was beaten sorely for his insurgence. As an act of defiance, Korlash began to hunt in secret, slowly becoming better. After a while he got the bravery to hunt a bear. When he returned to the village with his kill, he was discovered with the corpse. Fed up with his antics, the elders of the village held him down and carved a scar into his body, running from the tops of his cheeks, down to his mouth, down the sides of his neck, to his shoulder blades. He was cast out of the village and left to fend for himself. After wandering for months, hungry and poor, he found a human city in which he could enlist in the guard. Due to his slow aging, he managed to become captain of the guard after many long bloody battles in defense of the town.
