[OOC] Fate by Flowers (A soulmate roleplay)(not accepting)

[Narcotic Dollie]

@Snarl Thank you! I figured it wouldn't make sense to have her be grossed out by gore and what not if she works around it everyday. And I promise to keep the obliviousness to a minimum!

Role/Class: The Mayor's Daughter

Appearance:

Face

Armor

Name
Guinevere Hart/18/Female

Personality
Guinevere craves for the feeling of adventure. Traveling across the world and defeating various evils is what fills her dreams at night. Staying in her home town forever frightens Guinevere and she would do anything to escape that future. While leaving her father will be the hardest thing in her life, she knows fulfilling her dream is what she needs to do.

Hardworking and stubborn, Guinevere will never give up on sometimes she’s determine to do. Even if that something puts her danger, she’ll do whatever it takes. More often than not, Guinevere will worsen the situation but in the end, she’ll always set things right.

Thanks to her long, hard hours of training, Guinevere has gained an incredible sense of patience. She can outwait anything or anyone. By being patient and calm, she tends to upset and startle multiple people though. Some of the townsman even play little games as to see how fast Guinevere can piss off the new resident.

While Guinevere has a strong, feminine personality, she doesn’t have very many friends. By no means is she shy or frighten to speak to others for her bravery outshines none. Girls her age feel a little standoffish by her so Guinevere tends to stay back and hangs out with the guys.

Guinevere has a terrible reputation for causing disasters. Wherever she goes, accidents seem to follow. She has a wild spirit that loves to have fun, even if that ‘fun’ means jumping on the roofs of the town. Countless people have scolded her for it, including her own father, but Guinevere just doesn’t seem to let up. When adventure calls, Guinevere must follow.

Bio

Born from generations of warriors, it was obvious Guinevere would have the same fighting spirit as her ancestors. From the moment she could walk, Guinevere was given a sword and learned the craft of swordsmanship. Unlike most girls in the town learning how to sew and take care of a household, she spent her time clashing swords with the boys. It wasn’t long before she gained a reputation for being a mighty warrior. There’s very few fighters who can keep up with Guinevere.

Due to her passion for swords, Guinevere has an incredibly close bond with her father. They’ll often spend nights together, looking at the stars and discussing various adventurous stories they’ve both learned or even made up. Unfortunately, Guinevere spent so much time fighting, she was never able to establish a close relationship with her mother. While they both love each other, they just never connected the way a mother and daughter are supposed to.

Countless admires have caught Guinevere’s eye, but she chooses to ignore anything to do with romance. The idea of falling in love seems terrifying to her. Any romance could lead to marriage, which would mean the destruction of her dream. So she runs from anyone who even dares winking at her. When it comes to battling monsters or villains, Guinevere is fearless and completely brave, but mention the word love and she’ll take off running for her life. Most of the men around the town are aware of her distaste for romance so they tend to back off. Of course that doesn’t stop them from talking about her when she isn’t around.

Whenever she’s not holding a sword or eating like a complete glutton, Guinevere spends most of her free time snuggled up in a comfortable chair at the town’s library. She loves reading stories of other warriors and the struggles they’ve faced. Becoming one of the many heroes in legend fills her up with excitement.

Weapon

Sword

Guinevere carries around a single sword, a gift on her 16th birthday from her father. Shields are too heavy and boring for her, so she only uses them when absolutely necessary.

Skills:

Combat Queen: Guinevere is considered one of the best fighters in town. She can wield a sword like no other, with the exception of her father. She's not as strong as most men but uses her swift movement to outsmart and beat them.

Bravery No one is braver than Guinevere, who is afraid of practically nothing (except marriage!).

Leadership Like father, like daughter, Guinevere’s personality shines when things need done. She’s one of the few who steps up to the plate to establish a plan and determine the best solution.

Athletic and Fit Sword fighting does the trick for putting you in shape. Guinevere will often spend time running around town to keep herself fit as well.

[Snarl]

@BlueAjah Accepted! While reading your CS i kept thinking "niiiice" at a lot of the points xD Especially at her being afraid of nothing but marriage- and how she embraces her warrior background.

Quick question though- do you have a name for the Mayor in mind or would you prefer that I make one up?

Oh and btw I can't see her faceclaim picture and you didn't list her class after her role .o. fix that before posting your cs to the character section and you'll be good.

@Snarl

Yay! Thanks! :) And I don't mind if you make one up, if you don't like the last name Hart then I would be fine if you wanted to change that too.

Nah the last names fine c: Going to name him Gareth.

So i've already picked out the flowers. And what the bandits'll look like

@BlueAjah

Dude, Varric and Guinevere should totes be bromantic partners.

Like, they both dream of adventure and go around getting into trouble.

Only issue is Varric's constant flirting, which I imagine would disturb Guinevere if she wasn't used to it.

[Lionheart]

Role/Class: Ranger who's as deadly with a sword as he is with a bow.
Appearance:

General appearance

Armor

Name: Hunter Eleros
Age: 20
Gender: Male

Personality: Hunter is a sort of lone wolf, something he gets from his father, he prefers the solitude that hunting provides instead of any sort of camaraderie with others. He is a very responsible young man,
taking his perceived duty of guarding the Vale very seriously, serious enough that he trains every single day.

Hunter is a perfectionist in every thing he does, as such, he is very critical of himself and his actions, particularly how his actions, or rather his mistakes affect the village or those few people he cares about.

His general disposition is stoic, keeping to himself and observing. Social situations tend to see him standing to the side watching, however if you corner him for conversation you'll find he's a very well spoken man.

Most of the young men in the village resent Hunter for being so hardworking a useful while the prefer to flirt with girls or horse around. Hunter himself never took much pleasure in the horsing around bit, not unless that involved training for combat or hunting exercises. As for the flirting bit, there's something about saying crude things or acting vulgar towards really any human that just doesn't sit well with the young man.

Bio: Ever since Hunter was a young boy he showed great independence. In fact amongst all the kids his age he was the first to start walking, however he was the last to start talking. If only his parents knew how much that would tell about his personality as an adult.

From the age of 7 Hunter accompanied his father, Farrest on his trips to gather herbs, learning to identify most plants on sight. As he grew older and older he went with his father on more trips, he killed his first deer at age 10 on one such trip. However never was he allowed to go with his father to hunt the wild boar or the stray wolves who got to close to the village.

Hunter has a good relationship with his mother Mariann, while they don't share as much as he and his father they're still family, a fact that Hunter takes very seriously. That and his father treats his mother like a queen, a trait that Hunter has adopted from childhood and has always been the obedient son.

As he's grown older, Hunter has assumed more and more of his father's mantle, hunting for the poor of the village, gathering herbs for the Doctor, and recently he's been trusted to hunt feral beasts and ward off the bandits in the region.

Weapon: A longbow hunter carved himself a few years ago. Well made and stout it's seen many hunts and has remained reliable. He also carries a simple longsword with the likeness of a wolf on the pommel.

Skills: Hunter is a very capable outdoors-man, tracking, gathering, and of course hunting, come as naturally to him as breathing. An equally capable archer, Hunter's skills with a bow rival his father's. Hunter practices with his sword as often as possible making him a formidable combatant.

[Snarl]

@Lionheart Your CS checks out and I'll accept it- but the name.. Hunter is a pretty ironic choice and its common too. I'd prefer you change it. I mean it's your choice, really.

Besides that his armor looks really cool. He gives me an Arrow vibe and I love how he looks up to his father and models his approach to women based off of the relationship between his parents. Farrest is a cool name too c:

[Lionheart]

I'll think about it and make a decision before I post it in the other tab.

@Adorabadass

Dude XD
Anyway, that would be cool if they were partners but the flirting would definitely throw Guinevere off. She'd probably spend more time running away from him than with him. Maybe they're childhood friends?

Also, are we going to have the characters know who their 'soulmate' is? I think it might be interesting to have them not know in the beginning so they're constantly questioning themselves and then there's lots of drama :P

@BlueAjah

Its one flower between two people. They'd just have to ask "hey buddy was your flower orange? Really? Me too!... well this is awkward."

Actually... We could have the flowers bud for a week and then bloom. That way we could build up suspense like you want.

[ViolentViolet]

@Snarl
I like that little idea. And the flowers should bloom after we interact a little bit.

[BlueAjah]

@Snarl I like that idea too. Is it possible for the flowers to magically change color and like their soulmate changes?

[Snarl]

@Snarl I like that idea too. Is it possible for the flowers to magically change color and like their soulmate changes?

@BlueAjah

Nope. They represent the souls of both individuals melded together- represented by the unity of both colors in the flower.

[Adorabadass]

@BlueAjah

They could be childhood friends. Maybe they've been buddies so long that Varric's flirting no longer affects her, since she knows he's not serious?

Plus I can imagine them constantly bailing each other out of trouble through Varric's charisma and magic and Guinevere's charisma and combat saavy, respectively.

[ViolentViolet]

Illya Vance

Thief’s Daughter – Rogue Assassin

Appearance Details

Below average height at five foot, two inches and weighing in at just under 7 stones, Illya is a thin girl with a good amount of muscle on her. Small feet and still shapely with a womanly figure. Healthy, with eyes the colour of storm clouds.

Age

Nine and Ten years

Gender

Female – Heterosexual

Weapon(s)

Mithril Dagger
-Stolen by her mother and given to her when she turned ten-and-two. It is of dwarven make as mithril can only be mined or worked by the dwarves-
Steel Sword
-A hand-and-a-half sword she found buried in her mothers’ things-
Recurve Bow
-Built for hunting, this bow is one who has seen more human deaths than those of animals-

Skills

Assassinate
-If she can get close enough without being spotted, and manage a successful attack, Illya may instantly kill her target with a fatal blow-
Become Shadows
-With her ability to blend in she may become invisible to the untrained eye, melding with the shadows around her. This combined with her Assassinate ability, make her the perfect stealth attacker-

Acrobatics
-After years of practice, she had developed the ease to climb high on next to nothing, to jump and enhances her flexibility to near contortionist levels-

Personality

Illya has never been one to talk to others, nor share her secrets with them, instead allowing herself to become the distant image by the wall that few would ever really remember. Unemotional and detached, she is cold as ice when it comes to dealing with her target or victims, though when she needs to she can put on the perfect mask and act her way with a flawless facsimile of real emotion. She’s apathetic and rhythmic, with little deviation from how she does things.
On the other hand, she is prone to sudden fits of unpredictability or rage, leaving her to do things out of her usual patterns. This has landed her in trouble before, though the person there with the anger is buried deep within her.

Biography

Illya was raised away from town, taught most by her mother and learning the rest on her own adventures in and around town. The people there were well aware of what her mother was, though if she stole from them they never noticed or could never prove that it was really her and from that reputation people began to believe that the daughter would be much like Marideth was. From a young age Illya was subject to the scorn and distrust of the people in town, hated even by some and the villagers children didn’t treat her any better having learned from their parents that she wasn’t someone to talk to or trust. She became secluded, locking away her own emotions when the bullies came to harass her and over time she became a being of nothingness with little to drive her onward. By the time she was seven she could easily be described as an emotionless thing rather than a human child. Worse even, she was raised without a father, so only her mother – young and having given birth when she was merely sixteen – was left to raise her.

She started watching, observing and soon she began to learn all she could and started stealing from the villagers without them even noticing it; her hands became quick and her face began to show a smile again, though little of it was real. She was satisfied with stealing from the village, up until she’d left home for several months once and gone on to a large city where she came face to face with a master assassin. In the time she was gone, the village had thought her moved away and gone for good, but she was learning even more, but this time it was how to be the perfect assassin. The first mark she killed was a young noble man, wanted dead for the affair he was having with a powerful man’s wife and earned herself a pretty pouch of gold before returning home to her mother and the village that shunned her.

People questioned why she left in the first place, though she never gave much than a need to see the big city to their faces but Merideth new the first time she saw the pouch of gold on her daughter. The woman had never had much teaching ability to begin with, and few maternal instincts but she was against Illya learning her trade, instead allowing her to buy what she needed regardless of her daughters protests. Why should I act like something I’m not? Why not prove them right and make them regret passing such early judgement? She’d really left because she needed space and someone to really learn from, a Master to show her which way to go to reach her fullest potential. She’d found him too and came back to show her mother exactly what she had been keeping her from. Merideth had to admit, she was a little bit impressed.

She’s nineteen now and spend often months at a time away from home, stealing and killing while hiding her riches away from the public eye, instead allowing the Vale to think her a regular girl with few special talents.

Other

So this is what I have so far and need ideas for a good bio. Anyone have any suggestions?

[BlueAjah]

@BlueAjah

They could be childhood friends. Maybe they've been buddies so long that Varric's flirting no longer affects her, since she knows he's not serious?

Plus I can imagine them constantly bailing each other out of trouble through Varric's charisma and magic and Guinevere's charisma and combat saavy, respectively.

@Adorabadass

That works then! :D I can see them stirring up trouble everywhere too XD

[Snarl]

@ViolentViolet How about Ilya used to (or still does idk) hang out with a rough crowd- a group of wannabe thugs from school.

Or maybe describe what it was like for a girl to grow up with a thief as a mother. How would the townsfolk feel? Would they brand Ilya as bad news as well? Would they pity or reject her? Then probably described how this affected her- did it fuel her to prove them wrong or make her resent others?

Hope that helps.

[ViolentViolet]

@Snarl
That helped a bit actually. Thanx a bunch.
