I think that's complete now. Nothing Earth shattering in her background, I felt anything dramatic would clash with her relatively passive personality.
24 | Female | Bisexual
Race: Levonian | Kingdom: Earthica
Occupation: Archer/Hunter (Warrior)
Personality: Despite her vocation Laurel is not one for isolation. While she treasures her solitary ventures into the wilderness of Earthica it is not for the absence of others but rather the connection with the wider world and the chance to hone her skills. Perhaps more than these moments she craves the company of others, whether that be in a raucous tavern or merely the presence of a close friend, it makes little different to her. Solitude is not something she fears but nor is it something she pursues.
Calm with a mostly positive outlook, Laurel is the type of person one would want in a hazardous situation. Not prone to panic and with a practical, methodical manner of dealing with obstacles in her path she utilises both the immense patience and sudden alacrity a hunter hones. She is not, however, a leader. Independent for the most part, Laurel works from the back of the crowd where the spotlight does not touch her. In moments where leadership is not required she is happy to be the focus of attention but responsibility is not something she overly enjoys in abundance.
History: Born to farmers, Laurel's assumed future had been to follow her parents and their parents also into a life of ploughing fields and administering the secret solution that brought in Earthica's famed harvests. For a time such an existence did not bother her, thoughts of higher station not of interest to her for she had no true ambition and, some may argue, still does not. She worked the fields alongside her parents, learning their trade between fighting with her two younger brothers.
Food became scarce one year, more so than usual, and Laurel took upon herself responsibility to provide for her family. Unusual for one who avoided burdening herself at almost any cost, she snuck away from her parent's home and 'borrowed' a warbow from a guard station. Caught in the act, her natural talent as an archer, especially as a hunter, were revealed when she tracked down prey and slew them with near enough no true practice with the ranged weapon.
Leaving the inheritance of an agricultural life to her younger siblings Laurel took up the bow, under tutelage, and joined the warrior classes of Earthica. Somewhat more prestigious than her previous life, her new lifestyle has brought her unwanted attention which she has struggled to take in stride and has led to her often lengthy forays into the wider wilderness. Ironically it is the experience from such ventures which adds most to her mystique although much of that is immediately banished on her first night back in a tavern, the taste of plentiful liquor a fatal attraction for Laurel.
Weapons:
A longbow, unadorned or embellished - small in size to allow for Laurel's slighter build but still more than deadly enough to punch through leather or even mail armour at one hundred paces. She of course carries a sheaf (24) arrows with her at all times, usually broad heads for hunting as they are easier to make but she holds stock of hardened bodkins for when the prey she hunts is human.
A dagger - short, plain with a slight upwards curve at the tip. Functions as both a weapon and a tool for skinning if the need arose.
Skills:
Tracking - Laurel has spent a great deal of time roaming Earthica's territory, wandering amongst her people's fields with naught but her bow for company, and has become adept at spotting the signs a passing animal or person leaves behind. Time with the bow has given her sharp eyes to spot such leavings, even at a fair distance.
Archery - needless to say, Laurel's main skill is with the bow. Whether it be for hunting, competition or battle she has a steely aim and a knack for hitting her target at the right place at the maximum possible distance. What she loses in power she makes up for in accuracy.
Herbalism - Earthica's people are good with the natural world, specialists at growing their crops and even though she came by her learning second hand, Laurel's knowledge of herbs, medicines and related things is surprising although certainly not masterful.
Scar(s): A single line running up the top of her left lower arm from wrist to elbow, pink and aged to the point it is not something that would draw focused attention. The result of an early, and poorly planned, encounter with wildlife which fought back, it taught Laurel a lesson in caution.
Tattoo(s): None

@Aamaya you could maybe have people come in staggered (like, not every ship/caravan/w.e is going to arrive at the same time), or even cast them as NPCs until someone claims the character.
Or, if you're really worried about it, maybe letting people take multiple characters would help?
I'd be totally down with playing Mother if you'd let me

@mercenarius Yeah I’ve been thinking about that as well, you can definitely play Mother! Not against you guys picking multiple characters at all if you’d like.
The idea of them all coming at different times can be implemented as well if it comes down to it. We can say they’re off doing something else for the time being because the festival will be going on for a while.

coolzies (: I already have ideas for Mother in my head, so I'll probably get a sheet up by tomorrow at the latest. Thanks~
(I was actually really torn as to whether I wanted to play her or Mel, so I really appreciate you being cool with me playing both)

Just wanted to inform you that I am almost done with my character, just need a few more sections filled out. If you need to take on another character, I'd choose the King of Exodus since he'd be an important role.

Name: Ultfic
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Straight
Race: Levonian
Kingdom: Earthica
Occupation: Captain of the Kingsguard
Personality: Ultfic is a hard headed man with a quick temper if you push the right buttons. While he is prideful of his work and his skills he remains humble believing that an egotistical mind corrupts the good nature in man. He deathly loyal to his people and his loved ones with fearlessness in battle that makes him waver under no obstacle. Almost uncharacteristically Ultfic is a cheerful and a quick witted man with a sarcastic kind of humor when around his men or the princess. Around the king and queen however he tries his best to keep himself in check though some of that slips out at times.
History: Ultfic was the first born to a small family with two sisters that would follow quickly after. Like most born into Earthcia Ultfic wasn’t born into much wealth or power, he had no promises of becoming much in life. Ultfic took one look at his family farm and new this was not he life he wanted for himself and his future family should he ever have one. Ultfic become enthralled in stories of great battles and of warriors who would stand down whole army’s. From that day Ultfic began training tirelessly everyday after his farm work to be a soldier worth his weight in gold. His parents seeing his dedication knew there was no changing their sons mind so instead they helped in any way they could.
As he grew older and his skills became more refined he quickly gained the attention of the King and Queen who saw the potential of having such a young and loyal warrior with his skills at their side. Greatly honored by the praise Ultfic happily accepted their invitation to join the King's guard especially the captain at the time who came to be like a second father to him. The captain saw something in young Ultfic and personally supervised his training believing he would be his successor.
One night while Ultfic and the captain were patrolling the forest around the town as was common for the two, a arrow struck the captain in the shoulder. Looking to where the arrow had come from he saw a group of 3 raiders come from around trees that they had been hiding behind. Quickly drawing his sword he dropped into a defensive stance behind his shield defending his captain hoping the other guards would see the battle that was about to ensue. The enemy's hoped to use their numbers to their advantage lunging at Ultfic. Ultfic struggled to block as many strikes as he could getting cut across his arms. Getting fed up with these intruders in his land he went on the offence quickly cutting down the two who had been fighting as they left themselves open in their cockiness. Turning around Ultfic saw the sight that would haunt him for the rest of his life, standing there with a sword breaking through his back was his captain and master. Letting out a roar of pure agony Ultfic rushed the man standing over the dieing body of his master lashing out in uncontrolled strikes. Clinging of swords filled the forest as the two fought ferociously not giving an inch. Finally after some time Ultfic was able to land a killing blow cutting his sword straight through his opponents head. Falling over his master he began to weep as he could see the life leaving his body. In his dying breath the captain handed Ultfic his long sword telling him “It is your now your burden to carry.”
Weapons: Long sword
- Beautifully crafted, it is a work of art that few could recreate. Rare is it to find a weapon in such condition. This is Ultfics sword that was given to him when he was deemed ready to be a grand warrior fit of such a weapon. He makes sure to keep his weapon in pristine condition as it is was a gift from his trainer.
Round shield- to accompany his long sword Ultfic often carries around a round shield similar to that of Viking shields of old that bears the nations symbol on its front.
Skills:
Sword Master- Ultfic while being trained, grew fond of swords which soon became his preferred weapon on the battlefield. Working tirelessly Ultfic became a feared swordsmen amongst the other warriors and even to some outside his home.
Battle minded- most believe it to be a natural gift that Ultfic is able to read a battlefield or a dual in seconds and find a strategy or a flaw in his opponents fighting abilities. While some is simple God given talent Ultfic has spent countless hours studying battle statics of former captains and generals so as to be the service he can to the people of Earthica.
Scar(s): Small line on his right cheek but is covered by his beard. Varriouse cuts on his arms from countless battles and duels.
Tattoo(s):
Found on his right shoulder
