[OOC] The Crown & The Flame

[Azereiah]

Alright, got it. I'll start working on my CS, then!

[Azereiah]

Here we go. A CS for you. Lemme know if it's approved.

The Green Witch

Character Name:

Lady Kyra von Dribia, Third of Her Name

Age:

26

Appearance:

Lady Kyra is almost absurdly tall, standing at a whopping 6'3", and is physically fit, although not necessarily the most athletic. High and sharp cheekbones with narrow ice blue eyes and wavy, shoulder-length auburn hair give her a very regal and sharp look, as though she were born to rule. She prefers wearing proper leather boots over fancy shoes, and sticks to simple dresses much like women of the lower classes would wear, and generally wears a black, hooded travel cloak when out and about, be it linen or fur. Simplicity in style suits her well, as she is more of an herbalist than a royal.

When forced to dress for the courts, she prefers a long, poison green dress of crushed velvet, with silver border patterns, and an enormously tall black feathered headdress. She prefers intimidation over diplomacy, and with each passing year, her image becomes progressively more hostile.

Kingdom:

Dribia Dynasty

Romance:

Homoflexible. Open to relationships.

Intended Romance Partner:

To be determined.

Personality:

Lady Kyra is an intense bookworm and herbalist, and it shows. A prickly nature comes as the result of spending more time in the woods than around people, and she has a somewhat short fuse, though she tends to hide her rage behind a murderous smile. It's not easy to impress her, and she has enormously high standards of behavior for friends. Womanizers and stereotypical nobles piss her off to no end and she tends to avoid those types where possible, in favor of spending time with the more down-to-earth students at the capital's library, or at farmers' markets with the lower classes.

When she's not fuming over inconsiderate remarks, lies, or attempts at manipulation, she's generally very pleasant and kind-hearted, and perhaps even somewhat chatty. That said, she fails to meet her own standards of behavior and is somewhat of a hypocrite. Her habit of holding grudges leads to plotting and scheming against those who have intentionally wronged her.

History:

Lady Kyra is the second daughter of the Lord Egbert von Dribia, First of His Name. Her elder sister Miranda was a clear shoe-in for the throne, regularly attended the Court, and always stayed by her father's side. The family bond was stressed, however, and there was an unhealthy amount of competition between the two sisters to prove who was the better and more competent potential heir. Due to her habits of wandering about in the countryside unguarded rather than following standard etiquette lessons, Kyra always came in second, and Miranda took great pleasure in tormenting her over it. Just last year, however, Miranda mysteriously fell violently ill, and it's rumored that just beforehand, she had made some particularly unpleasant comments toward Kyra. Not long after that, the authors of news flyer articles that actively smeared Kyra's name began to fall violently ill in similarly unpleasant fashions, and Kyra earned a reputation for being a suspected poisoner -- a reputation she never bothered to try to crush, simply because it was too good of a political tool.

@Azereiah Approved (sorry thought I had done this earlier)

[codex]

I should have the first post up by this weekend.

[Seravee]

Hey! Need any help with anything? :)

[codex]

@Seravee My internet is being real wonky. I've tried posting 3-4 times and it just wont go through.

[Azereiah]

Gonna go ahead and assume this isn't happening.

[Bishop]

@Azereiah Hell, I'll take it over if ti comes to that.

[Azereiah]

@Bishop

You'll want to pester the GM to get co-GM status in that case. I'm pretty interested in this as a concept, so whatever we can do to get it off the ground would be great.

Alternately, we could repost it under a different name.

[Seravee]

Gonna go ahead and assume this isn't happening.

@Azereiah

Why? Did the GM say something to you?

[Azereiah]

GM hasn't posted in several days. The forums have an autosave function, so if they could post an explanation, it's unlikely that they wouldn't be able to make an IC post.

@Azereiah

I was able to post the explanation post from my phone but until recently had not been able to post from a PC as both my home and work internet had gone down from storms in my area. 1st IC post should be up tonight when I get off work.

@codex

Oh, cool. That explains it. Thanks!

[codex]

@Azereiah@Seravee@Bishop

Alternatively, I am open to a player making the first IC post if they would like and are able to do so before I get my post up. I won't be off work until 11 PM EST. Where I would like the RP to start is the heirs and their families gathering for a peace talk of some kind at any of the kingdoms, it does not matter which and beyond the descriptions provided players can make up whatever they want about their kingdoms. It just needs to be a post other players can use to introduce their characters, nothing too heavy needs to come out of the first post.

[Azereiah]

I can get something cranked out as the first post then, aye.

[codex]

@Azereiah still working?

[Azereiah]

Sorry, got sidetracked pretty heavily. It'll be up by tomorrow at the latest unless you've got something in mind yourself.

[codex]

@Azereiah@Seravee@Bishop I took on some extra shifts at work (I'll be working 21 days in a row with 40 Hrs of overtime each pay period) so I'm a little behind. I will try and get a post up on my lunch break today. Again, if any of you can get a post up before I can, that is totally cool. I don't want to let this RP die out because I'm busy at work.

[codex]

@Seravee@Azereiah Just checking in with you both since @Bishop and I have both posted. While not a requirement that each of us post before the next round of posts I wanted to make sure all characters are introduced before moving forward with DM shenanigans directed plot points.

[Seravee]

I'll be able to get you a post soon. But at the moment, I'm not in a position to post every day.
