The Wheel of Time - Trolloc Wars

@Ezmeralda@Lucky Knight When there's a war going on and your family is a noble family, thus assigned the duty of protecting their nation, having a daughter become an Aes Sedai with the rare ability to aid the entire continent is an incredible honor. It's not like every daughter of a noble family could channel- it was exceedingly rare, in that less than 3% of the population could learn to channel to any extent at the time of the Trolloc Wars, and less than 1% of the population would actually have the strength to become Aes Sedai. So, less than 1% of the daughters of noble families could become Aes Sedai- that is EXCEEDINGLY rare. So it is ABSOLUTELY inconceivable that a family would be angered at their daughter for doing something that amazing.

I know what I'm talking about. Don't assume I'm pulling info out my ass, lol.

There are loads of different mythologies surrounding dwarven births- I'm a fan of the popping out of mountains one too, lmao.

The creature on the left jumped into the air, several spans above Kaito's head. The creature on the right followed suit, soaring above Kaito; both landed behind him, on top of each other, their forms combining into one massively misshapen beast. Now much slower, it moved not to swipe at Kaito himself, but to grab at his blades. Now with dozens of unpredictable arms, its huge form was nearly overwhelming.

Meanwhile, the stationary beast at the front had solidified into a singular shape. It had chosen to mimic Kaito, complete with the mask, the flowing hair, and the blades. Watching intently, the silhouette seemed to practice, reflecting Kaito's motions in due fashion. As he fought against the other beasts, it began to extrapolate, and think on its own. It used Kaito's style- what it had observed, to assume its own stance and movements, developing a strategy of its own. Once Grey was satisfied that it was prepared, the beast rested, and, mockingly, took off its mask, and began to polish it with nonexistent oils.

Grey's face twitched with concentration, as she suppressed a yawn. Her lack of sleep was catching up with her- she had woken at sunset, and she had now surpassed her usual waking hours by just a bit too long. The exhaustion was almost enough for her to lose her cool, but she just barely managed to maintain her calm.

@Ezmeralda

If she is 31, at the most, she can be a new Accepted. I will not allow any Aes Sedai that young, unless they have considerable weaknesses and a great story to convince me. Please make her at least 100. Aes Sedai live until they are like 500-600 years old, so a 100 year old is not that old at all- it's the Aes Sedai equivalent of a 20 year old. Keep in mind that Aes Sedai are ageless- a 250 year old can look like she's 30 or so...

For career, just put "Aes Sedai of the Yellow Ajah".

For faction, just put "Yellow Ajah".

There aren't any noble families in Tar Valon.

Noble families in all ten nations were always honored to have their daughters show the spark, especially when they are accepted as Aes Sedai. So that doesn't make sense.

Please include what happens in her life, why she chose Healing, what she is doing with her abilities, etc. Her life story shouldn't just be "she went to the White Tower and became an Aes Sedai".

Look up how other mammalian species reproduce- you'll find that there are actually very, very few species that follow the male/female binary.

The Guild

@Torack That's why I said monogendered- there are plenty of animals out there that have genders that do not in any way mimic the supposed binary imposed by Western societal convention. Chromosomes and hormones themselves don't work on a binary system. To measure the length and shape of a chromosome to determine gender is actually an inexact science, hence the existence of intersex people, and people with extra or too few chromosomes. Progesterone, estrogen, testosterone, oxytocin, vasopressin, and I'm probably forgetting some. Each hormone contributes to different processes within the human body; for example, an increase in testosterone is one of the factors which brings about the painful part of the menstrual cycle. Dwarves, I'm supposing, would have an entirely different set of hormones, or different levels than humans altogether. Really low levels of estrogen and testosterone, and other hormones that contribute to growth, at a young age, which only increase as puberty ends, with high levels of testosterone for all, idk. Hell, I'm guessing entirely different hormones are there to start with for dwarves, and that for them, facial hair is not a secondary sex characteristic, just a characteristic of all dwarves.

@Sanctus Spooki Cool- just be sure to get approval before posting in the character tab.

@LadyTabris there's no leader right now, no. Just be sure to get approval before posting in the character tab.

The Guild

I've always assumed dwarves are a monogendered race, where their reproductive organs don't matter, and everyone grows magnificent beards. My first idea for a character for this RP was actually a dwarf- one whose primary occupation was as a barber, until her shop got destroyed by a gang, then she became a rogue fighter, her main weapon being a pair of shears. However, I like playing defense better, so I changed my mind.

The Wheel of Time - Trolloc Wars

@Durandal Aw, I'm sorry. Don't worry if you don't finish it any time soon- there's no rush. I just don't want to start until everyone who's shown interest has gotten established.

The Wheel of Time - Trolloc Wars

@Snagglepuss89@Durandal@Sanctus Spooki Are you guys working on your characters? I would like to get this RP up and running by the end of the month, so let me know if you guys have any questions or anything!

@Ezmeralda I'm marking you down for the Yellow Ajah, since you expressed interest

@LadyTabris If you want to claim Tetsuan, be my guest! I haven't written up her or Ba'alzamon's character sheets because I have had a lot of issues crop up at work. If you want to claim the Blue Ajah, I'm marking you down for that, since you expressed interest

(just let me know if you guys changed your minds, and want to do something different for your characters- it's all good)
