[IcePezz]

no worries, and thank you! :D

[IcePezz]

bumping to the top of the list :) I promise you all won't be disappointed by what I have in store for you :)

[Hael]

I wanted to announce my interest in this.

If there's room and I'm welcome to join, I can have a CS up within two days.

[Strafe]

Hey hey! First application on this site ever! With two characters to boot! Hope it goes well! Also, IcePezz, I'll PM you with a few questions/ character points to run by you.

Maria Farrah

Name: Maria Farrah, manager and shop keeper of Maria's Medicines and Sundries

Race: Human

Age: [AGE]

Gender: Female

Appearance: 5'5", slim build, soft brown eyes, unmarked olive skin, dark brown wavy hair that reaches to her shoulder blades when let loose, but is normally tied in a loose, messy bun. Stands with upright posture, but walks with a world-wary stride.

Clothing: Favors simple outfits, modest necklines, neutral colored blouses and surcoats. No Jewelry, save for a necklace with a wedding ring in rather pitiable condition around her neck.

Weapons: Stolen from her blacksmith father is a masterfully cast forearm length dagger, which she keeps behind the shop counter. As a masterful crafter of potions (labelled as herbal medicine of course), she is also a very skilled poison synthesist. Normally, she will not carry either of these on her person.

Alignment: Neutral Good

Skills: Not particularly skilled in using said dagger, and received no martial training. Possesses mild blacksmith ability, and high medical proficiency.

Magic: She has retained a spellbook that allows her to imbue her medicines with magical restorative power. However, in the weaker magical climate of Waeldeshore, it's usually too much effort to synthesize potions that can instantly heal major injuries. Most of her medicines generally speed up recovery from illness, and cure mildly dangerous diseases. She takes care not to allow her patrons to know that she uses the spellbook, and instead claims that she cultivates rare herbs from a far away land.

Backstory: The daughter of a blacksmith, Maria fell in love with an Elf in her youth, abandoning her family to marry him and live on Silver Lilly Isle. Shortly after bearing him a son however, Maria woke up one morning to find that her husband had disappeared without a trace, and an army was advancing towards their home. War had broken out on the island. In the carnage, Maria fled with her newborn son to Waeldeshore, seeking safe haven. When the war finally subsided and her husband was nowhere to be found, Maria settled down in Waeldeshore, and set up a medical shop in the town, using a spellbook from her husband's collection to augment the herbs.

At the time of the RP's start, Maria has gained quite the reputation as an incredibly skilled healer, and has earned the goodwill of many regular customers. She lives in the town with her half elf son Jason, who is now [AGE] years old, but has still not yet learned how to talk. Recent events in the town have put her on edge, though she figures that all the commotion should die down soon enough. Despite all of her mind's reasoning, she still believes in her heart that her husband is still alive and will one day return.

Jason Mariasson

Name: Jason Mariasson

Race: Half Elf

Age: [AGE] (Young boy)

Gender: Male

Appearance: 4'5" Brown eyes, very fair skin, messy shaggy hair covers his eyes, birthmark of a moon shape on his left cheek. Thin, awkward boyish build. Needs to eat more probably.

Clothing: Generally wears a baggy woven shirt, tights and boots.

Weapons: Sometimes he carries around a wooden stick and plays alone, pretending it's a sword.

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Skills: Cannot speak, though he can hear and comprehend language, and spends a lot of time reading and studying any book he comes across.

Magic: Is vastly aware of magic, at least from his books. He has never cast a spell, however.

Backstory: Born to Maria shortly before the war broke out, Jason has never seen his father, though he hears that he was a wonderful man. He doesn't really think much of it though, and figures that having a father would just be another distraction from reading. Reading is really all he does to pass the time, since the other children in the town tease and berate him.

His mother, while industrious and kind, never really seemed to accept that he was mute, and still attempts to teach him how to speak. Aside from his inability, Jason doesn't really feel the need to communicate with words. He has all he needs really.

@HHShetland

Easy enough

[IcePezz]

@hael thank you so much for showing interest. At the moment, there is more than enough room. I just got the corrected cs posted yesterday, so we're still waiting on everyone's characters. If you have any questions, pm me, and I'd be happy to help you out.

@strafe thank you so much for your interest and your cs. I absolutely love the concept. I'll pm you with all my ideas.

To everyone - I'll be super busy today, so I probably won't get back to most inquiries and any character sheets posted until tomorrow, in the late afternoon/evening at best. I do apologize for disappearing, and do appreciate the effort all of you are making. I'll spend the morning answering things as I can, and then after that, Happy Saturday all, and have a great weekend!

EDIT: Ignore this

@HHShetland

No.

@IcePezz

Cool beans.

[Hael]

Alright, double post but this is a very important question to my character:

What are the religious views of the general populace? What gods do they believe in, or is than an agnostic society? Can the gods in this RP be proven to exist (as in some video games, movies, etc. where gods literally appear on the earth before people) or do people see reason to doubt their existence? Furthermore, do elves, humans, and dwarves -or any other sentient races- believe in separate gods, or do they all follow the same belief-system?

I have a fictitious belief system I like that I would enjoy allowing my character to use, but first I want to know what the usual religion in this world is.

[BurningCold]

Interested. I wanna make a travelling trickster magician. ^_^

[The Fated Fallen]

Name: Adriana Spring-Breeze, though she prefers her traveling name ‘Adda’

Race: Human

Age: 28

Gender: Female

Appearance:
• Long black hair, often platted to a certain extent
• A slender face and build, never having built up too much muscle
• Fair, but tanned skin due to not having faced hardship in her life, but travelling often
• 5’ 10’’ height, and as mentioned, a thin build
Personality:
Always willing to lend a hand
Always makes a point of having someone she trusts in a village ‘accidentally’ notice her using magic for good, before moving on, allowing them to draw their own conclusions about magic
Always ready for an debate
Looks down greatly on irresponsible or selfish magic

Clothing/Armor:
Travellers garb. Loose leathers with plenty of pockets, a loose hood which does little to hide her appearance, but shelters from the elements to a certain extent. Heavy boots that have been used for years
Though faded from years of use, the clothes bear a distinctive green and red colouring, and bears the marks of removed embroidering, which were probably sold along the way to the present

Weapons: A regular steel shortsword, well kept but hardly the finest make
A shoulder-height staff covered in carvings of leaves and branches. Although pretty, to the trained eye it is apparent that these designs were more the work of idle hands on nearby wood than anything with significance. It also serves as a device to help channel spells to a certain extent, though is by no means nessecary.
Although starting as a stick picked off the ground, through fidgeting with both it’s ascetic and arcane elements Adriana has become quite attatched to it

Alignment: Neutral Good

Skills/Abilities:
Journeyman Swordswoman: She won’t win any contests, but she doesn’t need to. She need only hold them off until she can unleash a spell.
Traveller: Has a good sense of direction, and is used to sleeping under the stars. This includes basic survival knowledge
Medicinal Skills: Even without magic she knows advanced medicine (for medieval times). Of course, this is normally used in combination with her magic, but she can help people without The Weave

Magic:
Healing magic: Generally accompanied by standard medicine. Even a basic cut needs to be cleaned before being sealed by magic
Basic force magic: The ability to push foes away, hold doors shut, they kind of thing
A plethora of far more specific spells. Maybe the ability to shoot a firework from the finger, or make ones hand glow. Start a fire without a flint and steel

Backstory:
At the age of 12 Adriana was labelled a witch. One moment everyone was laughing at her for dropping a crate of apples, in the next moment a merchant’s hair was on fire. Of course, as she would come to learn, The Weave does not react well to such outbursts, and she was horrifically wounded by her body’s lack of ability to mitigate the powers running through her. She was imprisoned, while unconscious she was locked up awaiting trail and a healer was sought.
Breyak was summoned, as a travelling healer. He was informed that the girl before him was a witch, who had badly wounded one of the town’s merchants. She would be brought back to health and be put on trial. A priest was provided to ‘supress the evil’ in her. Any normal healer would have taken the money and been off, but Breyak was also a mage.
She was in a coma, but the wounds were far from fatal. Some internal bleeding, very high blood pressure and some burns were easy enough to fix for the most part, and a month later she was conscious in bed, and ready to give testimony. She was very distressed, virtually in a state of shock
Breyak took this opportunity to smuggle her out of her old life in the back of a horse-drawn cart. During several weeks of wandering and camping in the wilderness, she started to regain her senses. Breyak sat Adriana down and explained to her The Weave, the history of mages, the hate and fear they face today. Breyak explained to the twelve year old girl she would be hated by society for something her ancestors did or didn’t do, about how her vessel of flesh was but a catalyst for powers greater than everyone in the world (because that power IS the world). Adriana took it well
For years after she trained in basic magic defense and magic healing, and travelled far and wide serving as basic healers, and when people weren’t looking applying a bit of magic to help the process
As Adriana grew older, however, she began to disagree with her mentor. One of her chief regrets was leaving her home without saying goodbye. Her friends and siblings must think she was a monster, who ran because she was guilty. She believed she has to use magic for the greater good, whether people like it or not. She continued with her mentor’s tradition of using magic behind other’s backs, but has always wished for an opportunity for her talents to be appreciated, if only by a small circle of friends
Arguments began small at first. Such is the nature of subjects that could spell doom for both parties if heard by an outside, but once away from prying ears voices were raised. Adriana believed that people should see magic doing good. People can never trust what they don’t understand. Breyak, who had lost many friends this way, fought for the idea this was a stupid idea, as people would never trust Mages. Both student and mentor threw curses and threats from time to time.
At the age of 24, Breyak and Adriana realised they could no longer co-exist. Although they can still scry each other, they travel different paths. Adriana’s path has lead her to Waldershore, on this very day

I shouldn't have done this at midnight, that's some seriously shoddy writing. Ah well, I'll make amends soon... (yawn)

@The Fated Fallen

Oh, you have no idea. I once tried to write and place a poem into one of my RPs at 4 AM.

Needless to say, it did not work.

[IcePezz]

Ok, so officially
@strafe approved
@the fated fallen approved
if you can both please copy your characters in the characters section when you're ready with them, that would be great.
I'm still waiting on the revised cs from @crazedm and I believe those are all who have sent in a cs so far.

@hael I never truly wanted the people of waeldeshore to be religious. It's a big enough city where there could be a temple or two but over all the people are a very accepting group, to an extent. I suppose though that I should have written religion into the story anyhow hehe. So, it is a port town, and they receive and trade with people from all walks of life. If religion were to play into the story, i'd personally set silver lily isle in more of a paganistic lore. Something like in game of thrones or in forgotten realms lore. Where there is something for everyone and it can play as little or as much of a role as the player desires without causing too much of a disturbance to the story. That is what I would like, at least. But as I said in the beginning, this is a collaborative effort, so I would absolutely like to hear your idea before saying yes or no.

@burningcold I would love for you to join us. We have 2 mages already, but I would love to see your cs.

[Crazedm]

@IcePezzHey I updated my cs. Sorry about the extra day I had an unexpectedly busy day yesterday. :)

[IcePezz]

@crazedm no worries at all. I was out all day yesterday, real life takes priority :) any who, the cs looks great and I approve it. If you can copy it into the characters section, I'd be grateful :)

[Crazedm]

@IcePezz
Will do thanks!

[IcePezz]

Just bumping this up. I'm at work for a few hours today, but I'm around. So if anyone has any questions, let me know! :)

[IcePezz]

Here's me bumping the thread again :) so we need some regular down right warriors. :) I can't wait to see what the rest of you submit for your characters! I'll be at work for the full 10 hours today, but I'm sure there will be some down time at some point. So if anyone needs help or has any questions, just pm me :)

[The Fated Fallen]

Might redesign for a warrior then...
