Sheesh, all of these new characters make me want to craft one...I-I just might.
I just didn't want to have a hard time keeping up with a lot of characters And character sheets are such a pain, I agree SweetCin.

Crafting OOC with such dept equals this

Antoine is actually a fairly simple character with complex inner conflict. If you boil him down, he's a mass-produced soldier with a single gift (common in many forms of literature) that allowed him to live long enough to become 'more'; his current conflict is the 'more' he wants to be is incompatible with the very nature of what he is. Sure, he has a slightly game-breaking trait, but really it's there for a plot purpose and he's still really weak for a 1,500+ old demon. The depth I gave him was really just fleshing out the conflict, formatting a story line, integrating a few details from Earth, tying in with a few other characters and really just trying to capture the dynamic.

All-in-all, Antoine is a really simple character concept. If you remember, I sent you a PM with him as a basic skeleton of what he is now under the name Leon waaaay back when.

What I really did was just spruce up a CS and add in a whole bunch of detail because when I first saw these characters, I was inspired by how much detail and effort were put into them. All of it was inspired by the information you gave us. By the setting. Even if the driving force for what I did was really to compete with and parallel the aesthetics of the other CS's, the root of all of them is really what you gave us here. Coming up with a world is a lot bigger endeavor than making a character.

Although, I can just create character after character and if you look at my history of failed-to-launch roleplays, you can see I come up with tons of worlds that never get used. That's really irrelevant, but the point is the core inspiration for all of this is the work you made. :P Don't take a temporary mental block so harshly. I've made a dozen or more RP's that just plain don't get off the ground while yours is getting resurrected as we speak.

Antoine isn't exactly a role I take too often either. Actually, my characters are often more like Ty. I thought I'd go in a different direction this go around. If I really like this, I may make another.

Edit: Character sheets are easy! They're where you get to debut your character, showcase your creation and your talents. If you create with conviction, a character sheet will become an endeavor you enjoy and you constantly seek to improve on! Even if it's just a quick overview or used to set the atmosphere of your character, so what!? It's not a menial task if you don't let it be.

I'm somewhat arguing with myself whether to attempt joining this and actually get to play as Angoriel, who only barely got introduced in the first version... I'm worried that I might not be able to keep up with this and my own RP at the same time, as I will be a university-student come the week after the next. I might risk it just for the entertainment and distraction it would be worth.
We'll see.

It would heavily depend on how fast you are expected to post, I figure - I think the GM mentioned something about roughly a post a week, but being fairly lenient with it? Just posting also requires a notably less effort than actually running a RP.

I personally would naturally consider Angoriel a welcome addition (as you might or might not have noticed, I actually did get to posting a character of my own this time around, even if the CS is still a bit unfinished)... Whether it would be reasonable is another matter. The GM permitting joining in later (and looking at how we joined in later on the last time, I can't see why she wouldn't), I would perhaps suggest waiting till the end of September or so before you either join or do not... see how the RP takes off and what your workload and life in general would be like in practice.

@SweetCinderella: Does the kind of the being she targets matter at all... Good question, actually. Mental strength has been the only factor which has been stressed repeatedly and pretty much everywhere as being something that matters with the beings she's based off on, so I'd say this is predominant indeed.
But if I am trying to guess, then the more "mundane" a being is, the harder they would be to drain, with the exception of beings that are actually ethereal? The few mentions there are of it in the stories, they [beings she is based on] have been able to defeat magical beings quicker than humans typically succumbed (while they naturally only targeted humans and in rare cases other animals, the released ones sometimes went and defended people from supernatural beings). Might also have been for mostly plot-reasons, but who knows... I also sort of imagine beings who are very close to her own kind - nature spirits, specters, other (semi-)ethereal apparitions - might be marginally more resilient, as they generally were towards the powers of their likes, and often were chased away rather than eliminated when it came to conflicts?

To your question SweetCin, I have plenty. It would just be the matter of how many existing characters are already in the Carnival.
Don't need too many (in my judgement) and we don't want too few. But of course, it is your call of how many you'd like to see in your RP.

The characters are interesting and very detailed so far guys. And, from the one chart I've seen, I like your description of Ty Shienvien. (Note: Will probably shorten that to Shien if you don't mind too much.)

Oh man, Shien's profile looks good, but it has the massive walls of text. I tried to keep mine concise and aesthetically pleasing. I read sooo many textbooks in a day... gr. I have no idea if I can force myself to just read all that content.

((I apologize for how ugly this post is. I wanted to just get it posted and work on it from there since the past 3 times I've tried integrating into an RP have failed due to either my own inactivity or the collapse of the physical RP))

Llewelyn Rorch



Age: 26

Gender: Male

Species: Human

Significant/Special Belongings: The glove of the Wander, a pair of brass knuckles that have been lined with iron, a charm that holds no power and grants no abilities, a nice pair of sunglasses
(not finalized)

Fighting Skills/Techniques: More than capable in close quarters combat, skillful in knife/dagger combat, knowledgeable on the operation of firearms

Llewelyn, having grown up in the Azure, has been exposed to all sorts of different supernatural beings. This has caused him to become a very cautious fighter, picking his fights carefully and never underestimating his enemies.

Weapon of Choice:


How You Came to be in Azure: When he was 9 years old, Llewelyn’s parents traded him to the demon Glandrech as a means to settle their debt. Glandrech, ever gazing into the future, placed Llewelyn in the Azurian city of Krÿmias, a cross roads of the mortal and immortal realms. It was here that Llewelyn’s fate was decided.

Job Title & Description:
Llewelyn is part of a 2 man act involving daring acts of gymnastics and sleight of hand. From knife juggling, throwing, and the eventual catching, to cartwheeling and summersaulting through flames and other dangerous “things”, the untrained eye would see Llewelyn’s job as incredibly dangerous.

Number of Souls You Have to Collect:
((I dunno how this works))

Number of Years You Have to Collect Souls:
((read above))

What Was Your Wish?
For the Demon Glandrech to regain immortality.

How Many Souls Have You Collected?
221 (subject to change)

How Long Have You Been at the Carnival?
Two weeks. (subject to change)

How the Collection of Souls has Affected Your Character?
Having grown up a murderer and a thief, the act of collecting soul has not really swung Llewelyn one way or another. He sees the act as a necessary evil he must complete in order to preserve that which is important to him, as well as the promised eventual release from Glandrech’s service.

Personality: Llewelyn has always had trouble interacting with others. His life as a street urchin in one of the most dangerous cities in the realm has made it difficult for him to trust people. That said, he is able to become well acquainted with others he works with or lives with for extended periods of time. His having a sister as a child has made it easy for him to get along with women, though the nature of his lifestyle, as well as recent medical developments, have made it difficult for him to maintain relationships.



(Forgive how horrible everything in the biography and personality blocks is. These are my two least favorite things about character sheets, and I was falling asleep writing them. I’ll touch things up if it’s important, but what I have here should give you the general gist of this character. Sorry, but I really just wanted to get this done)

Yes, I could just join later... but when I did that last time it didn't quite feel right that Angoriel had missed the important events up until then, especially since he is supposed to have spent over half a century at the carnival already. One post a week does sound pretty manageable, though. Hmm...
Tell you what: if I am permitted to do so I would like to try joining now, although I will issue a warning that times may come during which I may not have the mental reserves to post immediately after it becoming relevant for me to do so. I don't know, to be honest; I don't exactly know what to expect from university at all beside of it supposedly being a harder study than any other I have been through so far. It may be that I end up being pleasantly surprised and the workload I find there isn't as great as I fear it will be, but I prefer to expect the worst and hope for the best.

With that said, the time has come for the reemergence of Angoriel.

It’s very rare that I join another’s roleplay – and please don’t think of me snobbish for such things. The primary reason is that the two characters I tend to play are either the damsel in distress or the villain – most of the time I actually shy away from joining others roleplays. Perhaps it’s a fear of rejection? Haha. Also I find many dislike the damsel in distress sort of character (Rosalina) and well as for my villains I tend to not shy away from revolting and vile characters (Andracos). Both characters types tend to be dramatic and over-the-top. Thus I find it easier to merely craft a whole world and run it. I find it more difficult to merge one of my characters into another’s story as opposed to merge my characters into my own… So I tend to shy away from others tales.
That’s not to say I’m not constantly looking for ones I can join for I always browse. I simply tend to shy away.
Character sheets tend to be problematic since I have so many trains of thought flying through my mind at once and I tend to change the characters tale many a times. It’s not a lack of conviction that slows me rather the need to craft the character perfectly.

Dearest Shienvien
Understood and comprehend I do. I’m eager to see Elynne completed..

I don’t tend to enforce a limit for I find many drop out, or some are more inactive than others, some players permit for more development… So I’m usually pretty open.

Welly well!! Greetings Master Jaster
I’m very pleased that you’ve joined the roleplay
And thank you for completing a character sheet.
Llewelyn be accepted.. I’m rather glad that someone chose to play a human
In regards to the Number of Souls You Have to Collect and the Number of Years You Have to Collect Souls – the choice is yours. Each is individually set per contract. So whatever you deem appropriate really will suffice. Immortality is expensive so at least 1 million souls would have to be collected. The same applies for the time frame. I’m unsure whether or not you read it (hopefully you did) everybody’s aging technically halts whilst collecting at the carnival – it mostly applies to humans though.
And fret not your character sheet is great. I don’t see too much that you’d have to add that you couldn’t reveal within the IC.
Welcome, welcome!

Psst.... Your character sheet it missing something... but I can't tell you what it it.......

Dark Jack!
I was contemplating whether or not to inform you that the roleplay was back up – however was conflicted since you run your own and didn’t want you to feel forced to re-join. Thank you for informing me about your situation. Hopefully though you won’t be to overwhelmed however if in the future you so happen to be, its completely understandable. In addition I would understand if you chose to leave this roleplay and focus solely on your own – that is your baby after all.
Though for the time being… Welcome back!!!

We be waiting for a few to complete character sheets
But I wont be waiting to much longer before I post the first IC

Oh and Prince, Sir - I'm replying to your PM currently.

This is exactly my thoughts.

But, I do have a few feasible characters. Actually, I'm festering with an idea that I think I'll use. It doesn't seem like we are short on males this time hah, so I think I'll craft another.

Welcome new and returning!
