[OOC] Crescent Dagger Camp

[shylarah]

@RomanAria You're gonna run five of them? *amused*

[RomanAria]

@shylarah Aye, I am. I run five in an advanced RP and manage to post more or less every week for them, so... shouldn't be too bad here.

[Deserted]

Wow, things exploded.
@BlizzOkay so here is a response to your question "Character looks good but I just have one question, it states that arrow is a mad thinker, what do you mean?"

Mad thinker means that Arrow cannot help but think. At night, in zen take-it-easy moments, even while asleep she will be woken up by "Hey that's a great idea! I should write it down!" Likewise, it means a lot of questions, some of which are going to drive her nuts if there is no answer.

[shylarah]

@RomanAria nice. <3

[shylarah]

Third char, provided little kids are okay.

Name: Samantha Quinn, but those in the camp have taken to calling her “Two-Bits” or mostly just “Bits”, since she’s not told anyone her name.
Age: 7
Appearance: Bits is a slight child, though she’s no longer dangerously thin, as she was when she arrived. She still has little extra fat, and looks more spindly than anything else. She has long dark brown hair that is usually a bit messy. It covers a portion of her face, and she uses it as a shield between herself and others. Her eyes are a deep blue and often shadowed. She has a sharp chin, and pronounced cheekbones. Her clothing is a bit ragged, with the skirt obviously cut from something longer so she won’t trip on it, fraying at the bottom and gathered in tight at the waist with a bit of rope. Her shirts are a bit big too, bunching up at the shoulders in particular. She has a jacket as well, and when she wears it the folds turn her into more of a puffy blob than a person, with the hem falling halfway down her thigh.
Personality: The girl is painfully shy, and has yet to say anything to anyone. She avoids eye contact and doesn’t want to stay around other people for any length of time. She’s very skittish, frightening easily, and frequently spooked into running off. She seems afraid of weapons. She’s uneasy around swords and bows in particular, and it’s even odds she’ll flee if she so much as sees one. She was first spotted skulking around the edge of camp a year and a half ago, and it took a good deal of coaxing before she’d come anywhere near other people. Even now, it’s not entirely clear where she sleeps. She doesn’t stay in any of the known tents, nor at Tomcat’s place.
Weapon: none. She has a small knife, but it’s strictly a tool.
Other: She can’t stand the sight of blood, turning faintly green at the sight. She’s also very good at hiding, and at wiggling into small places.

@shylarah @RomanAriaAccepted, by all means use a younger character -w- I'm a loose gm for ages until they're extravagant.

@silverlucario5 Ari told you to flesh your character out more, take her advice pal.

[Apoalo]

Ah! I love Bits!!!

[shylarah]

@Apoalo Yay, I'm glad. I'm looking to you and Toby to coax her to interact, I think.

[The Grey Dust]

Yes, there is now officially a camp dog.

[Polaris North]

Oh man, I feel like I didn't put a lot of effort on my characters unlike you guys...

Eh, oh well.

[Sapphire]

@Polaris North Its ok, its usually the Rping that speaks louder than the cs. (and yeah I feel the same as you)

[Polaris North]

@Sapphire

Yeah, I guess it's better to just show it in the IC itself.

[Sapphire]

I mean my plan was to originally have 2 characters, I definitely failed in that aspect since I haven't even started the second one.

So I guess here's to being redeemed in the IC. @Polaris North

[Polaris North]

Well, I think there's still time so maybe you can still squeeze the second character in.

To being redeemed in the IC, cheers. @Sapphire

[shylarah]

@Sapphire You don't have to have all your characters ready at the outset, you know. Especially since we're not travelling far it seems. Additionally, Nikki and Bits are old and only needed minor tweaks to be ready to go.

[RomanAria]

(Aria done screwed up. I put the wrong name on the wrong character. Winter was supposed to be the character Larazos of Saindri. I apologize, I have way, way too many novel characters in my head and I just assigned the wrong name to the wrong archetype. I think I fixed it now.)
Also these are characters four and five from me. I think I’m done now.

Prince Caerlight

“But, my princess, it is not the queen who wears the crown, but her king!”

Name: “Prince” (how he introduces himself to everyone) Lucas Caerlight. (Formerly Zakyr of Tulbraiss.) Most everyone calls him Prince, except for Miry, who still has her pride and insists on calling him Lucas.

Age: 20

Appearance: One would be forgiven for not giving Prince a second look. He stands only 5 feet, 1 inch tall, and is rather unimpressively built. Sickness as a child has rendered him scrawny, and easily taken ill. His hair is dull black, messily cut, and his eyes a very dark brown and rather dull. His skin is a peculiar shade; members of house Tulbraiss, coming from the south of Aesiria, tend to have very tan complexions. But due to a lack of being in the sun and chronic illness, his complexion is waxy and sallow, almost having a yellow-green undertone. He often wears tunics with lovely embroidery on the collars and trim, which always feature a pair of metallic gold crossed arrows and the silhouette of a lion.

Personality: Prince is painfully, painfully proud. He can be snappish and cruel at times, especially to those people who overshadow him. He can come off as arrogant and conceited; above all he is highly ambitious. He’s more than a little bitter, having been rather close to taking the throne of Aesiria, before Miry got herself thrown out and then the people turned on him. He’s cunning and shrewd, and doesn’t have very much in the way of morals. His one redeeming quality, if it can be called that, is that he has a soft spot for little children. After all, a little one isn’t gonna put a blade through his back. And children are more likely to see past weaknesses. He does all he can to befriend all of the children at camp.

Weapon: Proficient in crossbow and makes a show of proficiency in swordsmanship, but is really still too weak to do anything more than just posture.

Other: Was originally intended to marry Miry; that arrangement’s been made since Miry was six. Somewhat hates the girl for “ruining his chance at glory” but tolerates her in the hopes that someday she will be able to take the throne of Aesiria as queen, and he will have retained enough favor to remain at her side, and become the king.

Sunny Rose

*points at self, then at the sun, then smiles*

Name: Sunshine “Sunny” Rose (No one knows what Sunny’s name is, but they decided to call her Sunshine due to her happy outlook on life.)

Age: Six… give or take?

Appearance: Sunshine is a pretty little thing, rather on the tall side for her age and a little thin. Her hair is bouncy, in honey-blond ringlets to her shoulder blades, and her eyes are bright golden brown. She has a splattering of freckles all across her face and shoulders. Her wardrobe is primarily hand-me-downs from the older girls at camp, often cut off and pinned or tied with rope to fit her small frame.

Personality: Sunny is quite a happy little girl, for all that she doesn’t talk at all. She can always be seen with a smile on her face, waving to people and playing with the other kids, and sometimes the grown-ups, too. No one at camp has ever actually heard her speak, though they’ve seen her periodically use hand signs when trying to converse.

Weapon: N/A.

Other: Absolutely loves other little kids. And dogs.

[shylarah]

@RomanAria He calls himself Prince, or says he is a prince? Would he be a prince before he marries the princess? =P

What do you think of unfriendly Rovers being why Bits doesn't trust other kids?

[RomanAria]

@shylarah He calls himself Prince. Almost everyone else calls him Prince too, except for Miry who insists on calling him by the arbitrarily-chosen name of Lucas. Also, poor, poor Bits... That's something that Sunny will have to break her of.

[Leoven]

I made Peridot. @Blizz Tell me if it's coolio or nah.

Peridot

P E R I D O T

A G E:

10

A P P E A R A N C E:

Peridot is quite small, and looks even more so compared to the other people in camp. Keeping up with her code name, she had Claret find a way to dye certain parts of her hair green - enough to be noticeable but not so much that she stood out. Her eyes are a light grey and her face littered with freckles. Most of the time, she's seen wearing a dark cloak, with the insides filled with more pockets than she could count, and a necklace similar to Claret's.

P E R S O N A L I T Y:

Peridot is an agreeable person. She goes along with what the others do to the point of looking like a push-over and many have taken advantage of this attitude - at least until Claret catches them. Despite the way some treat her, Peridot has never dared speak up against them. She keeps up a bright smile and quietly agrees with everything. Still, her assistance tends to stop short when it comes to anything that might harm herself as she would always put her well-being above all else. She's never going to put herself in the forefront of battle and would rather run away than face opposition. She also tends to be focused on one thing for long periods of time, such as creating new traps or potions.

W E A P O N:

Peridot doesn't fight, at least not head-on. She keeps a variety of traps around her body, which she sets up behind them after a job in order to slow down anyone who tries to go after them. She also deals with creating poisons and tonics, although Claret keeps a close eye on her whenever she does. It's dangerous and she's still a kid, no matter what their line of business might say.

O T H E R:

Peridot (real name: Henrietta Meredith Mills) is the daughter of a nobleman who has devoted most of his life to tracking down the Crescent Dagger Camp. He hatched a plot to have his daughter be "abducted" by the camp in exchange for ransom, only for the abductor to find out that she wants to join them instead. Peridot agreed, taking up a role as a spy inside the camp, and still occassionally sends out letters to her father.

[shylarah]

@Leoven ooh, interesting~

@RomanAria Paige calls him Lucas too, because I'm sure it annoys him. ^.^
