[OOC] A Fate by Flowers (Soulmate role-play)

[Snarl]

@Melo Yes you can. Reserving now~

[Midori]

Too little too late it seems. I had hoped to nab the mayor's daughter after I got home from work but I guess someone beat me to the punch. I'll keep an eye on this though in case one of the female characters opens up.

EDIT: Just noticed the note at the very top lol. Maybe I can take on some kind of peripheral role guiding the other RPers or some such.

[Snarl]

@Midori I replied to your pm- we can brainstorm some ideas so your character can be included c:

[Melo]

Here's my character entry :)

Phaelina

Role/Class Mayor’s daughter/warioress (the swashbuckling/duelist type)

Appearance

Appearance

Armor (finding something medium armor-like for females is annoying. Most of it is either skimpy or full plate :P Either way, it's supposed to be decently protective while still giving freedom of movement. So I opted for scale mail)

armor

Name: Phaelina Laewin Dawnfall
Age: 20
Gender: female

Personality Phaelina is by nature very energetic and cheerful. She is adventurous and curious about the world around her. She is always looking for something to do, something to see. She always wants to learn more about the world and its intricacies.
Furthermore, she’s very cultured and mild-mannered as a result from her lifestyle. However, she may look down upon those that are very clearly less so. She thinks she’s protective of the people she likes. Other people would rather say she’s incredibly overprotective. She has a strong sense of pride which leads to her usually bottling up her worries and acting as if nothing is wrong. She tries to act stronger in front of others than that she actually is just to leave a better impression. She also likes being liked; feeling disliked can get her down quite easily. She’s very critical and doesn’t believe something before she actually sees it. This is also the case for the Ascythenia.

Bio: Phaelina was born in the Vale and has lived there for her entire life, living in a quite lavish home in the middle of the town. A large house surrounded by gardens filled with sunflowers. When she was young, one of her favorite activities was to hear the tales her father had to tell about the time before she was born. These were the tales of a heroic warrior and his powerful allies performing mighty deeds that allowed the Vale to prosper. Some of these tales might’ve been a tad exaggerated, but that wasn’t something Phaelina needed to know. The tales inspired her. She aspired to become like the heroes she heard of in the tales. She asked her father to teach her the ways of the sword that he had put down so long ago. Her father was more than willing to do so. Despite her living conditions, she had never liked dolls and frilly dresses in the first place, much to her mother’s disdain. However, her mother was happy enough that she could at least teach her the importance of proper manners.

When she wasn’t training, in school or playing in the gardens with her friends or with the dogs, she could be found in front of the giant bookcase that was present in the house. It was filled with books about the history of the world, it’s folklore and other topics such as economics and leadership. These were all the books her father was practically forced to read in order to become a competent mayor. It was the history of their world and its folklore that interested her. (Economics are booooooooooooring) They fueled her interest in the world that she inhabited. Among many other things, she would learn about the legend of the flower than bloomed in this forest. Quite frankly, she couldn’t find any reason to believe in this particular one. Would associating the blooming of this flower with a soulmate not automatically bias one to love this so-called soulmate?

Weapon
A double-edged longsword
A medium sized shield.
An anelace (double-edged long dagger) as a side arm which she can use instead of the shield or as a main weapon when disarmed.

Skills:
Unqiue
-Athletics - Her overall high physical fitness results in her being capable in the areas that require it, such as fast running, climbing and swimming.
-Quick reflexes -: Alert and capable to respond quickly to a variety of situations, proficient at evasion.

Basic
Conversational skills – She has learned proper manners and etiquette. She is proficient in socializing with and convincing people, especially in the upper part of society.
Animal handling – Does well with animals and can win their trust quite easily. Has experience in horse riding (if we have no real life animals, insert a similar kind of riding animal there).

Other
- Birthday: July 25th (Leo)
- There may have been several occasions where she snuck out into the forest… resulting in a scolding by the ranger when he found her on patrol, followed by a scolding from her father.

So... I have a problem. I'm having a hard time finding a Face that I like for this character... and I like too many armors...

EDIT: Found a face, I was looking up a tree trying to find the ground, so to speak

[greywolf375]

@Snarl Now that I think about it, does the non-armor pic have to be real-life, or does it just have to be non-anime?

@greywolf375

I prefer real life. But if you can't find any- then try for something non-anime.

@Melo Accepted! The armor you chose is beautiful. Nicely written character sheet also.

[greywolf375]

@Snarl I can't find much in the way of faces that I like, but I'll keep trying...

Also, @Melo, I gotta agree with Snarl: That is some damned fine armor!

[greywolf375]

To anybody: Recommendations for armor for a Ranger?

[Melo]

Thanks for the compliments ^^ I'll move her to the character section when I'm home

@greywolf375 it really depends on where your focus lies as a ranger. Are you focussing on archery or melee combat? If you're melee then you might want something more protective. Are you proficient in sneaking around? Then you might want something that makes less noise and with darker colours. Try to find an outfit that suits your character's strengths.

Armor Suggestions

This one may look heavy- but that's just the characters silhouette. This armor is mainly tough leather and cloth.


This armor looks more rigid- the long skirt thing looks like it might get in the way of running around. This is armor for archers that are meant to stand in one place and take down enemies from far off.


This armor looks heavier but still commands more movement than the one above. It covers everything but your characters head, which is nice.



This armor has to be the heaviest of my suggestions- because of the scale plates. But they don't look restrictive- the long boots look like they're comfortable to move in. Movement doesn't look like it'd be a chore in this thing- as long as your character is strong enough/ used to this amount of weight on him.

Face claim suggestions

I almost used this face claim



the least rugged looking.


the fur seemed fitting.


this guy looks older and angrier- but why not.

[Snarl]

@LadyTale@bcc Any preferences for last names? I'm making up parent names now.

Btw everyone- I've been thinking about a proper opening for the rp. How does opening with a three day spring festival sound? It can be a town event that everyone goes too- the focus of the celebration will be the beauty of the forest idk. But major events to expect- the Blacksmith and the Mayor having a friendly duel, which usually ends up in a tie every year. Exotic animal show. A pirate themed play. And at night- the town and the trees around it light up with lights.

Visuals

[LadyTale]

@Snarl Perhaps Farspire? Or Quicksilver might do.

[Snarl]

@greywolf375@Kaithas@Savo How are the CS's coming along?

btw LadyTale, Farspire is now the Thieves last name.

@Snarl

It's going to be really hard for me to get one done before tuesday, but I'll do my best. Hence my question as to how soon you needed them.

@Kaithas

Don't worry about it- just checking in with everyone.

[greywolf375]

@Snarl Rather nicely, now that I have pics done. Just writing out Backstory and Personality, and figuring out Skills

@greywolf375

Ah sounds good. No pressure- I haven't even started typing up the intro post xD

[Melo]

@Snarl I quite like the idea of such a start, it'll be easy to gather the people at least.

Also, would you mind if I add folklore/history knowledge as my third basic skill? It's kind of already in the history but I figure it would fit quite well there.

[Snarl]

@Melo Yeah thats fine! That actually brings up a good point-

Guys feel free to contribute to folklore and history stuff- post your ideas up in the ooc and we'll all approve of or negate it idk. It's just a lot for me to write on my own and I'd rather everyone have a part in it if they want to.
