Excitement!

[Aura Lodestone]

SOON.

@Mokley

I hope that is how fast my approval will go, I somewhat made my history more vague and would like you to look over the sheet again before I do any sort of moving so to speak...

glad my character has nothing wrong with him... though from a future of hoverbikes to a future where you have nothing to do... the future seems boring lols... we have one ancient Egyptian though

[Ves]

Lol, I think we can assume that Garren's future was quite far ahead of yours, since having a future just...deadened like that doesn't sit right with my moral compass. xD

But yeah, hover-bikes, exo-suits, energy rifles, laser guns, they had it all. Pretty fun.

Oh, and alien babes.

@Ves

you chose the bright future I had to choose the dark future but I edited it since some other people might also want to be from the future and me making it bleak ruins their future right. They are also an advanced society now so for all we now our characters could very well be from the same time if you think about it. Also look at Elin's gold and amber eyes, which could just be a coincidence however we both from the future we should get along better. though the biggest thing when we join up is how will all our characters communicate, we have one ancient Egyptian and my character is mostly mute so to speak unless he gets used to you... this will be an interesting and fun rp now just need to wait for my new history to be approved and I can move to character sheet section

How big is the ship compared to a traditional Spanish war galleon? Just curious :P

[Antarctic Termite]

I see rather a lot of young characters. Here goes. I haven't roleplayed in three months, so this guy will be a simple concept.

Sidwell

Name: Innocent Sidwell.

Age: 44.

Appearance: Subtly waning. Innocent retains a head of dark hair, dark eyes and a good height for an adult, but his scalp is beginning to show through and a growing hunch in his back wears down his tallness while his eyes accumulate red mazes. Well veined, sundried skin tell of a long life outdoors. Half a beard populates his jaw. A dull tunic, dusty straw hat, and duller, dustier trousers provide his daily modesty, held together with a rope belt.

Occupation: Beekeeper in a dale just south of Flidais, a temperate, grassy city perched between foothills. Innocent gets by with few visits to Flidais, selling honey, beeswax, animal feed and carvings to whoever might pass his cabin on the way and buying necessities from travelling merchants and nearby farmsfolk. Innocent plays a simple flute, carved and tuned by his own design, but does so poorly.

Personality: Gentle enough to be called kind, but this trait is bred more from meek complacency than empathic feelings. Sidwell is a highly submissive individual, asking little from others and rarely questioning them or the services they require of him unless he feels personally threatened. Although he means only to live and let live, these traits may see him being labelled by some as a sycophant, and by most as a coward. Innocent is religious on his own terms. Terrified of death and hell, he believes that if he avoids human confrontation and keeps his world small and modest, he will avoid sin and be blessed by God, an attitude which has seen him safe thusfar.

History: Innocent Sidwell was born in Flidais and, the youngest son to a mother of eight, was sent to the hill monastery even sooner than most novices. Sidwell entered monasticism as a child already conditioned to avoid the fierce competition of his elder siblings and live in modesty. Although this kept him in the favour of the prior, Innocent's ways changed as he matured. While his earlier compliance was forced by the pressure of his environment, he was now in a community wherein passiveness was self-motivated, and repressed adventurousness began to emerge. The prior tolerated Sidwell's growing cheek for a time, granted that he performed his duties and did not leave the monastery. He was expelled when finally caught in an act of homosexual conduct with another novice. The prior was shocked and betrayed and threatened both Innocent and the other novice with public exposure as they were punished and cast away, but his old love for Sidwell kept him from making true this threat, unknown to Sidwell, who that day was cursed with a terrible fear of exposure, of sin, and of living any less than a pious, modest, and celibate existence.

Fleeing south on foot, Innocent found work as a farmhand for a time before he apprenticed under his predecessor beekeeper of the valley, and has made this his living for three decades.

[Aura Lodestone]

well young characters have the most growth don't they?

[Mokley]

@Aura Lodestone bleak is absolutely fine, it's just the detailed worldbuilding that's slightly restrictive. What you've got now is great, and more personal to the character. Thanks! Approved. Please copy his CS to Characters.

How big is the ship compared to a traditional Spanish war galleon? Just curious :P

@BingTheWing

I ... have never seen a Spanish war galleon. Think cruise ship sized. It doesn't look like a sailing ship should. But it will be explained.

@Antarctic Termite Innocent is approved, please copy to Characters.

[Stairdweller]

My character is young chronoogically, but for the time she lived in she's already considered an old maid. I mean people got married when they were like 13, and 40 was considered really old.

I don't think younger characters have the most growth. I think, however, that the older a character is the more work has to be put into his/her history, and the more difficult it becomes to justify a character without a lot or pre-existing close personal attachments. (It's way easier to justify going on a quest if you don't have kids and a mortgage.)

[twave]

Well considering they just wake up and they're somewhere else it doesn't matter if they want to justify it or not.

[Stairdweller]

Definitely - I meant in general, not just in this thread.
