Bio
Hello! I'm Heap!
Welcome to my little corner of the guild.
My current life status and availability:
I live in the Western area of the US in an apartment I work 2 jobs and 50-65 hours (Not exaggerating) a week to pay for. I work primarily as a professional graphic designer and part time at a local family owned shop mainly as a favor to the owner who needed the help. Aside from that I'm relatively active in my social life and non-role-playing activities so while I'm still online everyday the hours are usually really early in the morning and really late at night. That being said, if you find me in chat and I randomly disappear, I'm not trying to be rude, someone probably just showed up at my door wanting to hang out or go out.
My Roleplaying style:
When it comes to joining a role-play I usually go for a more adult themed type. Not necessarily intimate just more of a mature context. The genre doesn't typically matter so long as the idea is somewhat original, that to say, I don't go for role-plays based on any specific media very often. The exception being if the role-play is based off an already well established story that it's not completely following the canon of it.
Who I am:
Curiosity is my blessing and curse. I must know as much about everything as I possibly can and often will never take a simple answer to a question without either inquiring further or doing extra research on the subject until I know it's origin, current political and monetary state, how it's used and if in any way it could influence my own life. So far as I know I'm a pretty easy going, fun loving, person, I'm not afraid to go against the grain or do something that seems a little odd. In the end I genuinely just want to be a happy person and in turn share that happiness with everyone around me.
Side note:
I've made a few friends since being here and truly cherish my friendships with each and every one of them (you know who you are). If you guys ever need anything, ever, I'm there, you never need to ask twice or feel like you are any less important to me then you really are.
The Ibrus Clan is also a thing consisting of myself, @Vashonn, @Caster and @Big Dread. We are a group of miscreants and are all really good friends. I would do almost anything for them.
Waiting for Start or CS Approval None at this time
@Masterkeun Her skills match her history so they fit in well! =]
@karlettto He looks okay, however the way you describe his appearance, would he even be able to do missions? I love how you incorporated his relationship with Ares. That being said, I was thinking about changing the age of Ares to maybe 53 instead of 65. If this will screw up your character, I won't do it. If you don't think it'll make a difference I'll change it. =]
As for what defines being "rich" I'd say an annual income of 100,000 Yule or more equates to rich. However there aren't very many in Draykon that would fall under that classification.
Technology would be about the same as what we know Medieval technology to be.
@Masterkeun Looks good! I'm assuming the mild resistance to cold comes from growing up in the tundra. Also leather armer is technically a light armour so bare that in mind when RPing.
Otherwise, looks great! Go ahead and post it in the Character tab! She'll make a great addition to the RP!
@karlettto I think you're way over thinking it! =] As long as you follow the rules in the RP you'll do fine! If you really want to, wait until some of the others post their CSs before posting yours. You can do the same with your first IC post as well. You'll be fine!
Weapon of choice: One medium length sword and throwing knives
Basic Skills: Extremely persuasive in matters of importance, nimble and an expert level swordsman.
Personality: Does not often strike up a conversation unless something important is to be discussed. He won't turn you away and will listen intently of all matters brought to his attention but is usually deep in thought on matters of importance brought up by the comity.
Occupation before joining the guild: Draykon Mercenary
Basic origin story: Worked for the Draykon comity for many years as a mercenary until he began exploring the mountains or Irbel and discovered the ruins of an ancient landmark, almost like a throne room of some kind. He pulled together some of the lower ranking mercenaries and built what is now the guild. After discussing the prospect of the guild to the comity it was approved immediately with the condition that Ares become an adviser to the comity and report any suspicious on goings to them.
NPCs:
The Administrator
Athena is the Administrator. She is the person who receives a missions before posting them on the notice board. When picking up, turning in, or collecting a reward on a mission, she is the one you need to talk to. You would also speak to her about additional details on a mission if you feel you need them. She is quiet and soft spoken most of the time but will always be sure your questions are answered.
The Blacksmith or Weapons and Armour Master
Artemis is stubborn and hard headed but, she is the best blacksmith in all of Draykon. She'll get on you if your not routinely getting your weapons and armour checked out for defects or tune-ups. She worked for the mercenaries of Draykon before they became the guild.
The Apothecary
Hygiea is a very skilled and wise apothecary. She may be an older woman but her knowledge of the art of herb mixtures and potion making is seemingly second to none. She is very humble and gracious often wishing adventures well off as they leave for missions.
The Bartender
Hathor is eccentric and lively. She was once an adventurer as well but found she enjoyed the food and drink more then the adventuring. Now she works the lounge giving energy and enthusiasm to the room. Hathor is extremely flirtatious if you get her talking for too long but it is mostly all in good humour.
Morning rose over the mountain peaks of Irbel flooding through the windows of the tucked away guild of the White Lily. The ever moving sounds of the waterfall surrounding it filling the entryway each time the doors opened and closed as movements began to awaken within the exquisite building.
The smell of freshly made breakfast and muffins fills the lounge with Hathors phenomenal cooking, her short physique wondering the kitchen and bar to prepare for hungry guild members. Each table held a basket filled with the moist muffins next to it a plate of fresh eggs and a beaker of water sitting beside goblets. Next to her at the notice board was the fair skinned, white haired Athena who artfully put up the new notices of the day nodding or shaking her head with each one as she reread them with each posting. Her eyes found them a place on the board so they would each be read and stand out enough to catch a searching adventurer.
From within the marketplace sat Artemis on top of her stand with a whetstone in hand sharpening her newest blade, surrounding her were pieces on display of different suits of armour and various different lengths of arrows all new and in pristine condition. Across the way was Hygiea, grinding away at her mortar and pestle, mixing herbs. She stopped occasionally to smell her concoction and maybe add a few ingredients here and there before either putting it in a small leather sack or boiling it into a potion then bottling it before putting it on display.
The rhythm of the guild at work almost seemed musical as the four women went about their daily morning routines. It was alive and anxious to begin it's day of wandering and adventuring.
Please check here if you feel you may have missed something important.
Draykon is a small world consisting of seven countries. These countries are ruled by a comity consisting of one elected official from each of the seven countries. Our guild master often joins these meetings to discuss issues and work as a councillor to the comity members.
Our adventurers receive missions and contracts from throughout Draykon and carry them out.
Two major missions have just been completed, each one delivering a mysterious letter to the guild master who left in a hurry to attend a comity meeting. Alfie Reid - @Queentze, Nihus Yorkek - @Hillbilly12 and Zhang "Jane" LiangYing - @Pirouette all passed on during their final mission from what seems to be bandits rather then their mission purpose.
Please check back here often as things will change frequently. Make sure a mission is available before having your character select it.
