[Fatal Error 1337]

Sorry I haven't been able to post in the last little while but my course load has gotten ridiculous over the last couple weeks. If all goes according to plan I should be able to start writing a post Thursday at the latest. Just thought I'd let you all know I'm still alive.

[Astarael42]

yay! I was worried. Glad to know your still alive and kicking. Now we just need to find out what happened to Lupus...

[Jollan]

So.... how's everybody doing? My dude's not leaving the town if y'all are all dead, haha.

[orcpunx]

I'm still up and grunting XD
I'll try and make a decent post tonight.

[Serra_angel]

sorry for the delay. And yeah...lets rock this joint!!

here we go Asta. Sorry for the delay.

Name: Serra Angel

Age: 13

Gender: female

Race: half-half ling/half-human

Class: street rat/classic thief

Life on the streets as a sub-human taught Serra everything she needed to know. She was ganged up, and her thief lord put her on the worst most demeaning jobs he could. He only wanted her in his gang for her size, smaller than most she could get into extremely tiny areas and few ever noticed the small girl as she moved among the crowd.

Brief Biography: Serra never knew either of her parents, she assumed her mother abandoned her at her first chance. Serra’s first memories were of working in the kitchen at a large inn in Loudwater. She was a scullery maid and received nothing for her hours of work each day save a tiny pile of blankets in a corner of the attic and enough food that she survived, though not well. When she was 8 she “ran away” and joined a gang of street rats. It was no more difficult than scullery work and in many ways much easier. It was plain she wasn’t fully human though since she never knew her parents she really didn’t know what she was. She was treated as sub human, but she had more food and her bed was more comfortable. It was a worthwhile trade off. She learned a lot on the streets, and while she envied all the happy well fed children she saw she didn’t ever expect more for herself. She was a good thief, and her half ling nature meant she was small and looked very young and innocent. Everyone underestimated her. She pulled her weight in the gang. She never got treated very well but she got beaten rarely and that was a step up from working in the inn as well.

When she was finally nicked for stealing she figured her gang would help her. That’s when the realities of trusting others hit home. You couldn’t trust them. That was the plain truth of it. She was convicted of stealing in short order and sold to a passing trade caravan to pay for the stolen goods. The slavers were headed into the desert and Serra was put to work on scullery duties and beaten regularly. All things she was used to. The constant travel, the fear of being away from what she knew, that was what broke her down. By the time they put into Twiddledale to resupply, it was the last town before hitting the desert, she was submissive and reserved. Even so when the bells rang she took the opportunity to run amid the chaos. She had no idea what they meant, all she knew was that she didn’t want to be captured. So she was out of her ropes, up and over the wall, scampering down the other side and off into the moors, unaware of the danger only that she had the chance to get away.

Serra knows no one from Twiddledale, and few people from Loudwater.

Equipment: dirty shirt, much patched breeches, a tatty leather belt, and a pair of very good quality lock picks (her prized possession).

Class Skills:
Climbing walls
Picking locks
Picking pockets
Hiding in shadows

Villager Skills:
Scullery work (laundry, scrubbing pots, making beds, etc)
lying
Physical endurance

[Jollan]

WOOT! welcome to the party!

[Astarael42]

allright serra. Looks good. I suggest you and Jollan work out a way to hook up and get out of town. I shall round up the roadies and head us on our way. I have much work to do on the first OOC post to update what people know and who is here. I know orcpunx is probably still lurking. What about FatalError, Milkman, & Lupus...you three still out there?

[Jollan]

I edited my earlier post to make an opening for you should you want to take it.

[orcpunx]

How did you know?

[Serra_angel]

looks good to me. one serra thief coming up shortly.

[Jollan]

shots fired

[Astarael42]

yay. 16 hr days are done. FatalError are you still around? OrcPunx how about you?

I shall be moving us along forthwith. It's a pretty long post becuase I'm jumping us forward.

[orcpunx]

im offended by your question....... :'(

[Astarael42]

awww. don't be. I just wasn't sure if you still lurked here....

In that case I will have a fairly large and comprehensive post up this weekend.

[Astarael42]

move along post up. We are currently split into two groups, that won't last long. Enjoy the night, what you can of it. A new day brings trouble. I will be passing on further clues for discovery around the inn/on the road, just not tonight. There's an in-game time discrepency between group A & B (of 6 days)...I'll do a 6 day time warp for Jollan and Serra in another couple of real time days when I bring everyone together.

[orcpunx]

[Jollan]

sorry, testing and house/yardwork from all the grass growing back in is keeping me busy. I'll try to post tonight.
