Castle Grimm [A Fantasy Drama]

Craggard grinded his teeth as he watched the young man from the Confederacy rise and speak in front of Lord Grimm. He took such an outburst as a personal offense. His time at the castle had barely started and he was already at risk at being out of favor with the Grimm family. Craggard didn't know what he expected- of course the White Rock Confederates wanted all the attention, they were the other side, after all. He needed to act first from now on, make sure he got the best cut first on every occasion. Craggard didn't have time for politeness of subtley of any kind, what was important right now was to get right to the point.

A familiar, desperate, hunger gathered in the nobleman as he too, stepped forward with a flourish in his step. He turned his head towards the tattooed lad for a brief second, shooting him a nasty look that fell just short of sticking out one's tongue on a scale of childishness. Like a flicking a switch on, his expression turned to a pleasant, if not off-putting expression in front of Lord Grimm and his daughters as he bowed theatrically, raising his head to speak to the royal three.

"Truly an honor, your Lordship, t' be welcomed into your home like a guest! It'll be even more of an honor accepting your little proposition here, and I believe I speak for all my fellow Onxyites in saying so. And... if all goes well, I look forward to negotiating with you later." A bead of sweat trickled down the man's face, although one couldn't be sure if the room was too stuffy or if he was merely nervous.

He bowed again to the two twin sisters with a coy smile, muttering a brief thanks to the two before stepping back in his place. He paid no mind to his fellow Onxyians muttering, instead taking to picking small pieces of lint of his jacket. He frowned slightly, noticing how easily it pilled. He supposed that was what he got for getting a cheap coat.

Georgie Willis

Name: Georgie Willis

Age: 18

Gifted?: Nah

Skills: Georgie has a good sense of how machines and various devices work, and while she often doesn't have friends due to her odd ways, she remains cheerful and lively, and can at least keep people from hating her. And while she's awful at quick decision making, she can form some pretty darn good ideas if you let her sit and mumble to herself for a few hours. Georgie's also a big optimist- she can only see the good outcomes in something, perhaps a trait that contributes to her naïvety.

College studies:
Engineering (Major): Georgie has an intense fascination for how different parts useless on their own can come together to make something functional and useful. She doesn't seem to know what exactly she wants to do in this field, but she knows she wants to build things, or improve on previous inventions. Sadly, her inventions aren't exactly... good, or useful at all, and she has some of the lowest grades in her class, perhaps due to her lack of focus and lazy tendencies.
Math (Minor): Not much to say here. Georgie has always performed highly in her math classes and is good with formulas. She enjoys her math classes, mostly because their easy As.

Appearance: Her hair is carrot colored and bushy, cropped short around her head and almost completely covering her small brown eyes. Georgie is of average height and build for the most part. She's often covered in various bruises and scratches, due to her clumsiness causing accidents. Her clothes are off-putting and it's clear she puts no effort into picking her outfits- she wears baggy clothes in faded colors, and usually ties a green bandana around her neck. Her skin is tinged pink often, since she sunburns very easily.

Backstory: Georgie had a mostly happy childhood in a big family, with her parents, four rowdy brothers, and several dogs. It was incredibly hard to keep a secret in her family with it being so huge, and as a result her family is a lot more close than most, especially during her teenage years, where most teenagers start to resent their parents. She might have had a rough time at school, but the love from her family more than made up for it. Her mother would let Georgie cook with her, even though she never did anything helpful, her dad let her mess around with broken tools, and her brothers seemed to care for her despite always teasing her.

Still, school was lonely. Ever since her days in primary school, Georgie's had a habit of chasing off potential friends. She's odd, a bit gross, and often annoying, and her punishment for that was having almost nobody to play with. Georgie was still pretty happy- in middle and high school, she started to enjoy video games, and eventually dominated the leaderboards and servers in many of the games she played.

College, though, was going to be something totally different from high school and middle school. Beacon University would be her new home from now on, and she intended to make the most of that.

Friends: Mr. Welzenbarg (NPC)Her computer sciences professor, whom she often chats with after class. An older man in his forties who always has the look of a man found clothed only in human hair on the side of the road- confused, and a little frightened. Short, and mouse-like in appearance.


Enemies: Despite many people obviously disliking her, Georgie just doesn't have a bone to pick with most people. She's trusting enough to give people the benefit of the doubt if they act cruel to her.

Elias Beauvallet

Name: Elias Beauvallet

Age: 16

Gender: Male

Rank: Noble

Species: Human

Appearance: Elias is of average build, although he's a bit short for his age. His light, fluffy brown hair extends a little past his ears and covers his eyes if he's not careful.He wears large, circular glasses and a dark green tunic crafted from fine cloth. An intricate pattern in gold has been sewn into it, and he ties a sash around the waist with his family crest on it.

Personality: Eli makes a stuffy, cold impression on most people, and as a result, he's never had many friends. He doesn't seem to mind, though; he's always muttering spells or flipping through tomes anyway and considers himself to be above the idle social activities that come with companionship. He's easily irritated, and has no qualms with snapping at someone if they annoy him. Although Eli is used to attending balls and festivities alongside his family of nobles, he prefers to skip the niceties and favors being blunt and often downright rude to others instead. At the very least, Eli treats himself with the same bluntness when he can't do something right.

History: The Beauvallets are an incredibly wealthy family of aristocrats, and have an infamous reputation for all the chaos they've caused to other nobility in trying to win the Grand Sage's favor. The Beauvallets also have a long history of flaunting their status and wealth, which has led to resentment from many people in the Empire that know of them. Elias was born to the patriarch of the Beauvallets, and his equally powerful wife. He had numerous older brothers, all taught in different fields of magic.

As one would expect, Elias lived a very cushy childhood. His father, a scholarly mage who once fought for the empire, began teaching him defensive magic when he was as young as seven, first teaching him basic runes, then simple spells, and then more complicated magic as the boy grew older. Soon Eli became obsessed with the art of magic- more than any of his older brothers, and was soon spending every night alone in his study, hunched over his desk with a quill and pen, or perhaps in the gardens, where he practiced spells with a frightening intensity.
His dream was that of every young noble in the Imperial Empire- Eli desired more than anything to rule by the Grand Mage's side someday.

Extra: He's way to confident in his own abilities, even if he is pretty skilled for his age.

Alrighty, so I've started on my character sheet, and will hopefully have him all ready before the weekend ends! Sorry for the wait.

For the Glory of The Empire

I'm interested! I would like to sumbit a character that's not human, though. She would be something along the lines of a Frost troll, maybe? I can certainly pm you more details if you like, I've got plenty of info at the ready! And if it doesn't work out, I would be perfectly okay with making a human character.

I'm just about ready to reply, sorry for the wait you guys!
And um, I feel the need to apologize for my character being such a huge dumbass. Please forgive me.

Castle Grimm [A Fantasy Drama]

Craggard could not put what he saw into words. Grimm Castle was everything he had dreamed of and more. The hallways twisted this way and that like an expertly crafted labyrinth, and yet their backwards-walking guide turned corners effortlessly- never once looking behind him. The spacious floors- composed of marble and granite, he assumed, were dark but glistening. Intricate paintings lined the walls, their subjects all strange creatures, some Craggard had heard tales about as a child. As the two groups progressed down the halls, the paintings began to twist and mutate into creatures more and more beast-like. Craggard felt a strong desire to trace his fingers along the intricate silver framing, but resisted the urge.

For once in his life, Craggard didn't utter a word as he strode through the halls. The gloomy exterior of the castle meant nothing to Craggard- it was rather unsettling for sure, but he knew that once the Onxyians had the castle, they would fix the eerie atmosphere- preferably by replacing the gargoyles with statues of fair maidens, but he could settle with a few motivational tapestries, too.

Just as the nobleman was considering offering his guides some advice on interior design, he was cut short as the two groups skidded to a halt in front of two huge doors. Craggard took a deep breath as the doors were slowly pushed open. He straightened his back and his usual crooked smile disappeared, replaced by an unusually neutral, calm expression. Almost compulsively, Craggard bowed deeply and emphatically as Lord Grimm himself turned to the two factions. He rose at the Lord's insistence on showing them something.

More out of curiosity than obedience, he raised his head to see the two knights remove their helmets to reveal silver hair and eyes of the same glistening color, dark skin, and pointed ears. Craggard's eyebrows raised in surprise. This was a trick. It had to be- dark elves weren't real- they were mere folktales, myths, silly little children's stories. He had no idea how they managed to look like a dark elf, but whether it was a trick of the light or cosmetics, he wasn't fooled. The portly man looked around to see if everyone else was falling for the silver-haired fakes, and was shocked to see most were. A surge of annoyance worked its way to his brain. Dear God, they were so so obviously imposters. His poor fellow Onxyites- were they really this dim-witted?
Bah. To think the great Lord Grimm actually thought he was stupid enough to fal for such a trick.
