@Snarl

Maybe a week? It's the holidays so I guess some people might be busy. It would be awesome to bring back the old gang though :P

Hey, @Snarl, saw the tag earlier but wanted to actually have something for ya.

I have a lot of neutral personality traits, hopefully that's okay.

The Bard's Son/Nature Mage



Orrin Negala/18/Male

Personality: Not quite as energetic as his mother, Orrin's definitely a more subdued guy. Where his mother is fidgety, Orrin is focused, where she's a charismatic fun lover who flirts with nearly every living creature who comes into their bar, Orrin is the long-suffering son whose most common expression is a hand to the forehead at whatever his mother's doing. When away from his mother, however, her genetics show through a lot more--far from being the straight man among his friends, Orrin's something of a bad influence, always wanting to try something new or do something that might seem crazy just for the sake of seeing what will happen. His madness is somewhat methodical though: if he thinks whatever he's going to do might have far too much risk for those he cares for, he won't do it.

He's never known his father, replacing the missing male influence with time outside, to himself, alone with nature and the wild. As a consequence he has his own idea of how he should act and behave, blending his mother's energy with meditative thought.

Bio: Orrin's never been quite sure exactly how he was conceived: his mother might be a tremendous flirt, but she isn't stupid enough to one-night-stand it with a bar patron. His personal theory is that she just wanted a kid to torturekeep her company and help run the bar and probably found some old friend to give her a baby. At any rate, his life has been one of transience, the only constants his mother and their inn. He associates some with those around the village, but has few people he considers true friends. His life's been too busy, the bar demanding a lot of his time. Instead, he's been the willing ear for numerous tales of daring-do from countless passers through, listening to his mother's friends talk and talk about their latest adventures. As he got older and started to spend all of his free time in the woods, he began to have his own stories to share, though they were never quite as grand nor as awe inspiring as those he heard--and were more often than not interrupted by his mother throwing a ladle at him and telling him to hurry up.

So, you know, she could flirt with the customers.

To be honest, he can't see his life changing much from this. The revelation of his newfound magic brought in more customers, but didn't change much else. He'd love to explore the world, but who knows what the future might bring.

Weapon: A simple wooden quarterstaff, capped at either end with steel serves as the focus for Orrin's abilities. He's rather adept with it too, capable of using it as a viable combat implement if need be.

Skills:
Nature/Offensive Magic: Orrin's familiarity with the wilds and his mother's naffinity for magic have granted him power over the natural world around him. His spells vary from causing vines and other plantlife to grow on command, to channeling lightning through his staff to strike his enemies. He isn't terribly good with more aggressive spells, however--his expertise is with spells that let him channel the attributes of animals, getting the strength of a bear or the grace of an eagle.
Music of the Soul: Probably the greatest gift his mother gave to him, Orrin can also use a violin to channel his innate magic. He cannot use this ability to control nature, instead using it to invigorate the souls of his friends and incite them to greater heroism. His music is limited to those he knows well, or he cannot make it personal enough to empower them.

Staff Mastery: Orrin has used and trained with his staff for long enough that he's adept at using it both for utilitarian purposes and combat.
King of the Cooks: Since his mother refuses to let "the man put her down", most of the cooking done at their bar is done by Orrin. He's a master of whipping meals up with few ingredients and smaller amoounts of time, though he attributes most of his success to his innate understanding of the nature behind what he's using and not to his own skill.
I Can Read You Like a Book: While he's not got as much experience as his mother does, Orrin has dealt with enough people that he can read their motivations somewhat more than the ordinary individual.

Other: Not much I can think of.

@KaithasAccepted- his appearance image doesn't show. Nice cs, otherwise.

Okay I'll move it and see if I can fix the image.

Pumped to finally have orrin done XD

Should be fixed now.

@greywolf375@Kaithas@Melo@bcc@LadyTale@Savo

Quick interest check. I feel shitty for telling a bunch of people that they can't play when this hasn't even started yet. So reply with your interest or I'm going to scrap this thread and open up a new one for everyone thats been waiting patiently.

I'm still interested and hoping this, or something like it, gets rolling.

It's still broken for me.

Tried again. If it doesn't work just click the link.

Still interested. Sorry, I'll get my cs done, family got in the way

Soooo, what's actually open then? As it stands it doesn't actually seem like I've got a slot. I mean, I'd very, very, very much like to play Aldric again. I made him and then the RP died and that was kinda a let down. However if that isn't at all possible that's fine. Just point me in the right direction and I'll start writing.

@Lionheart I could open up new roles. Or old characters can be the siblings of new ones?

Well, I could do that provided Greywolf is ok with it. I'd hate to just sweep in and do something he's not ok with.

Yeah, if you're gonna open siblings I'd suggest making sure it's alright with those who have the character already. I wouldn't mind a sibling for Orrin normally, but I already have a really fixed idea of his character and his mother's, and I'd rather not someone change it without me getting any input, especially considering I've built Orrin's personality around it being entirely just him and his mother.

I took a look at the old topic and saw that @BlueAjah's character was the former major's daughter. I'd be fine with her being a sibling if thats the preferred plan of action. So I'll leave it up to @BlueAjah to decide if she wants to be my character's sibling or an entirely different role.

@Snarl @Lionheart I'm perfectly fine with siblings opening up. All i have left is backstory and a couple sentences of Personality, but I've been dealing with writers block the past few days...

I would be up for having Gwen and Phaelin be siblings. It might be interesting to see how the two of them interact as well.

@KaithasCompletely understandable. As of right now- no one really wants the bard sons role. I'm only opening up siblings to accommodate the others- so once everyone currently has a place- I'll close the siblings option. Once we actually start and the plot begins to take its course- no more roles will be accepted.

Then that's fine ^^ I haven't read through your character in detail. I guess the only thing we'd have to make sure is that there are no contradictions among our bios. I doubt there will be anything major. But if there's anything, just post it here and I'll see what we can do best to accomodate both of our characters :)

Edit - changed my character's equipment a little to be more precise (nothing added or removed, just made it more descriptive)

Edit 2: also @BlueAjah, do you prefer to be the older or younger sibling (my character's age is kind of arbitrary and can easily be changed to accomodate for it.)

@Melo

Either way works for me. I originally made Gwen 18 and she's a bit of a troublemaker so maybe younger? I also went and put the last name you had picked out too.Anyway, I tired to rewrite my CS but got distracted on Youtube :P I just updated her old CS and changed a few things. @Snarl, Here's the (sort of) updated CS.

Gwen <3 [+]

Role/Class: Mayor’s Daughter (Sibling)

Age/Gender(18-20)/Gender: 18/Female

Personality
Guinevere craves for the feeling of adventure. Traveling across the world and defeating various evils is what fills her dreams at night. Staying in her home town forever frightens Guinevere and she would do anything to escape that future. While leaving her father will be the hardest thing in her life, she knows fulfilling her dream is what she needs to do.

Hardworking and stubborn, Guinevere will never give up on something she’s determine to do. Even if that something puts her in danger, she’ll do whatever it takes. Giving up is never an option and something she’ll die before doing. As long as she’s breathing, it’ll be done.

Thanks to her long, hard hours of training, Guinevere has gained an incredible sense of patience. She can outwait anything or anyone. By being patient and calm, she tends to upset and startle multiple people though. Some of the townsman even play little games as to see how fast Guinevere can piss off the new resident.

While Guinevere has a strong, feminine personality, she doesn’t have very many friends. By no means is she shy or frightened to speak to others for her bravery outshines none. Girls her age feel a little standoffish by her so Guinevere tends to stay back and hangs out with the guys.

Guinevere has a terrible reputation for causing disasters. Wherever she goes, accidents seem to follow. She has a wild spirit that loves to have fun, even if that ‘fun’ means jumping on the roofs of the town. Countless people have scolded her for it, including her own father, but Guinevere just doesn’t seem to let up. When adventure calls, Guinevere must follow.

Bio
Born from generations of warriors, it was obvious Guinevere would have the same fighting spirit as her ancestors. From the moment she could walk, Guinevere was given a sword and learned the craft of swordsmanship. Unlike most girls in the town learning how to sew and take care of a household, she spent her time clashing swords with the boys. It wasn’t long before she gained a reputation for being a mighty warrior.

Due to her passion for swords, Guinevere has an incredibly close bond with her father. They’ll often spend nights together, looking at the stars and discussing various adventurous stories they’ve both learned or even made up. Unfortunately, Guinevere spent so much time fighting, she was never able to establish a close relationship with her mother. While they both love each other, they just never connected the way a mother and daughter are supposed to.

Countless admirers have caught Guinevere’s eye, but she chooses to ignore anything to do with romance. The idea of falling in love seems terrifying to her. Any romance could lead to marriage, which would mean the destruction of her dream. So she runs from anyone who even dares winking at her. When it comes to battling monsters or villains, Guinevere is fearless and completely brave, but mention the word love and she’ll take off running for her life. Most of the men around the town are aware of her distaste for romance so they tend to back off. Of course that doesn’t stop them from talking about her when she isn’t around.

Whenever she’s not holding a sword or eating like a complete glutton, Guinevere spends her free time playing chess. Strategy means everything and Guinevere wants to be prepared should it ever be required of her.

Weapon

Sword [+]

Guinevere carries around a single sword, a gift on her 16th birthday from her father. Shields are too heavy and boring for her, so she only uses them when absolutely necessary.

Skills:
Combat Queen: Guinevere is considered one of the best fighters in town. She can wield a sword like no other, with the exception of her father. She's not as strong as most men but uses her swift movement to outsmart and beat them.

Bravery: No one is braver than Guinevere, who is afraid of practically nothing (except marriage!).

Leadership: Like father, like daughter, Guinevere’s personality shines when things need done. She’s one of the few who steps up to the plate to establish a plan and determine the best solution.

Athletic and Fit:Sword fighting does the trick for putting you in shape. Guinevere will often spend time running around town to keep herself fit as well.

That's fine then ^^ Kind of nice that our characters have a bit of a similar look and a few of the same features as well :)

The only question is, who would win in a sword fight? XDD
