A Guild Adventure: An RP with Monster Girls! (ENDED)

Ars Argento

Ars felt somewhat more at ease with Neil claiming to be just as new as him. At least he could expect to not be completely out of place then, after all. And it seemed there was no issues with Ars' choice of request. "Understood, I shall meet up with mister Freyr." On his way out, Ars could only wonder if he had correctly understood the instructions. This Freyr was a male rabbit humanoid? Monster girls were common back in Boreal Port, but Ars had never heard of there being males. Well, at least this person shouldn't be too hard to find.
_________________________________________________________________________________

As luck would have it, Ars, did come across people on the road to Boreal port. A Harpy, or someone that looked very much like one to his eyes, and, indeed, a man with rabbit ears. Ars had not been told to expect anyone but the Viera, and hoped the harpy who was already greeting him was just a fellow traveller, but it looked like he had interrupted a conversation, even though he hadn't heard it's content. "Yes, I... I am on my way to Boreal Port..." It was all he could do, to try and answer her positively while collecting his thoughts and subconsciously avoiding looking her in the eye. Of course, not being one of his rehearsed situations, there was also much hesitation and timidness while he spoke.

If possible, Ars would have liked to go hide behind a bush until the rabbit eared man wasn't accompanied by the harpy, but that was now impossible, so the best course of action was probably to try not to be bothered by the presence of the Harpy. Ars just needed to find Freyr, and he had most likely just found him. "I apologize for interrupting you two." Ars started talking and turned towards the man who claimed to have been lost in thought. The boy was back on a somewhat prepared conversation track, so he did no longer carry the same hesitation on his voice, even if he was not very at ease while speaking. "Am I correct to presume you are mister Freyr, from the adventurer's guild? My name is Ars, I am to aid you in the request given by mister Saint." Ars somewhat rushed through the last bit. Normally, one should ascertain the other's identity first, but Ars was in a rush to get this done with, before the harpy girl made further inquiries.

@PaulHaynek

I must apologize (again), for taking this long to post. Things turned hectic thanks to the holidays. I will have a more regular posting schedule now.

And on a side note, belated Merry Christmas everyone.

Ars Argento

"Thank you very much, mister Barker. I am lacking in experience, but I will do my very best." The relief in Ars face was very noticeable once the man called Bart led him inside. The relief gave way to amazement once the boy stepped into the room. Ars had, of course, never been to a guild's headquarters before, and it was all he could do to try and keep listening to Bart's explanation on the guild while eyeing all of his surroundings, trying to take in as much as he could of the place. So this was a guild? "It is incredible." were all the words Ars could readily muster to express his feelings regarding the place.

Ars was somewhat brought back to his sense once the brown haired young man greeted him, realizing that he had a duty to at least keep this social interaction, for lack of better words, social. "A pleasure to meet you, mister Neil, I am Ars. I hope you can teach me many things as a senior adventurer." He returned the greeting with a somewhat rehearsed phrase. Ars had suspected he would have to go through many of those across the day, meeting other adventurers, and had thus prepared himself for that situation. "A dude newcomer for a change..." Ars couldn't help but mutter, just loud enough that he couldn't be sure whether or not Bart or Neil had heard him. He wondered if this meant a good number of the other adventurers were females. Come to think of it, that wasn't impossible if you factored in the monsters. That could be troublesome eventually.

"So, mister Barker, I just need to choose a request from this board, complete said request, receive payment and then return to the guild?" Ars asked while reading the contents of the board Bart was holding. Ars wasn't stupid, he would search for something fitting for himself. Something that would let him gain experience without being too dangerous. Maybe this one, Keeping it real? The remark at the bottom did claim this one as being safe. "Accompanying this poet, mister James Saint. Is it fine if I take this one?" It wasn't the most exciting assignment he could think of, and it would require traveling back to Boreal Port, which he had just left, but it looked like it could provide some adventuring while being safe enough.

I must apologize, I have an assignment due tomorrow which has been eating at my time these few days. I'll work on a post tomorrow night when said assignment has been delivered.

Ars Argento

Ars Argento arrived at the Adventurers Guild's location with disappointing ease. As far as first adventures go, Ars had been expecting to at least have a longer trip in order to reach this place. Rather, coming all the way over here was more of an errand. But then again, he wasn't yet an adventurer, so maybe he had no right to complain.

Having arrived at the place indicated on the badly drawn map Master Lucian had given him, Ars couldn't help but wonder if this was the right place. Master Lucian had said it would be an old dilapidated building, but this place looked to Ars like it could be a guard outpost or some kind. Even if it was the Adventurers Guild that he was told about, he started to wonder if this wasn't way out of his league. Ars did not yet look the part of an adventurer. Short stature, low on muscles. Well washed clothes with little sign of wear, in fact he had chosen to use his best garments for the ocasion. The only redeeming feature that he hoped made him somewhat like an adventurer should was the pack on his back, with a wooden staff strapped to it, and the knife on his belt. In short, he had the looks of a rich kid out of his element, and the imposing building only made him remember that even more.

It took a few minutes for Ars to muster the courage to knock on the Guild's doors. During that not small amount of time, he went over the likely conversations and ways he would introduce himself at least a dozen times. Still, the readiness he thought he had gathered was shattered when the door was opened by that smiling, orange-haired man who mistook Ars for a client. "Request...? No, I'm not...Not a client... Uh..." The boy struggled for a moment with his words. At least he had the right place. He told himself to just do as he had rehearsed. He was probably on the right place and he just needed this man to point him toward Bart, whom Master Lucian had spoken of. As if reading a script, Ars introduced himself. "My name is Ars Argento, delighted to make your acquaintance. I am here looking for mister Bart. My master, Lucian, sent me to join mister Bart's guild in his stead."

Alright, I'll be waiting then. Don't worry I'll keep the rules in mind.

I hope this is good. I have been out of Roleplaying forums for a while, so I might be a little rusty.

Character Sheet: Ars Argento

Appearance:

Appearance

Ars is a fairly short young man, with a slender build.

Name: Ars Argento

Race: Human

Magic/Abilities/Equipment:

Ars is a talented but novice spell caster who has been taught a wide variety of spells useful for a lone traveler. He's particularly skilled in fire-type spells, but lacks any real combat ability. He hopes to make up for it with his diligent practice. Physical capabilities are about average for a human, meaning he can't really beat a monster in melee.
Carries a knife for general purposes and self defense, and a wooden staff, which is mostly for show as the symbol of a spell caster. Both were given to him by Master Lucian as parting gifts and have mostly sentimental value.

Personality:
Ars has developed a great deal of curiosity about the world from hearing many stories of adventures. Due to never having any friends, he finds social interactions to be a complicated affair and often deal with them in an almost mechanical fashion, emulating what he expects social interactions to be, which unfortunately is influenced by the overly formal interactions he saw his father do with his clients, meaning he can often come across as distant. A particularly humiliating incident with his sister, where he was forced to walk around town in girl's clothing, left him with a form of gynophobia in which he actively avoids dealing with females. He is also fairly sensitive on the subject of his low stature and unmanly build.

Aside from that, Ars is well natured. He doesn't harbor any intention of becoming a hero or "helping those in need", but he is likely to aid those in front of him mostly out of a sense that that's what an adventurer should do.

On the subject of monsters, his opinion is mostly neutral, shaped by the stories he heard of Master Lucian's travels, which include both benign and malign monsters. The attitude of people around Boreal Port is friendly towards them, so he has no inherent prejudice. Overall though, his gynophobia and the fact that monsters are female makes him feel that he would be fine if he never needed to interact with one of them ever.

Background:
Ars was born the third child of the Argento family, wealthy merchants operating out of Boreal Port. A popular saying in the city was that no goods would pass through the harbor without the Argento knowing of it and having made a profit. As such, it would have been likely that Ars would have never wanted for anything as he grew up.

Unfortunately, fate dealt him a bad start in life in other ways, as Ars' mother died due to complications of his birth, significantly straining his family's relationship with him growing up. His father, a stern old man, dove head first into his work, as if to ease the pain, always seeming distant and mostly neglecting his duties as a father. Of his older brother, Ars' ended up knowing and remembering little, the young man was several years older than him, and, around the time Ars completed 5 years of age, left to establish a merchant outpost for the family's company in a far away land. But, the worst by far was Ars' older sister, Ariella. Ariella deeply resented Ars, believing he had somehow been responsible for their mother's death "If you hadn't been born, mother would still be here!" The older girl seemingly made her life's purpose to make Ars miserable, and would often bully him while accompanied by her friends.

It was in such an atmosphere that Ars grew up, believing himself an unwanted child. Often, to escape abuse from his sister's gang, he would run to the harbor, where they would have a hard time finding him. Ars would often watch the ships, wishing he could go with one of them, traveling to lands far away. "Anywhere that's not here, anywhere would be fine." It was by chance, in one of such days where he watched the ships, that the boy by chance met and befriended a man named Lucian. The man, as it turned out, was a traveling mage, with an awfully cheerful disposition. The man laughed upon learning of why Ars watched the ships so often. "Rather than traveling because you want to run away from a place, isn't it better if you want to travel to find new places?"

Lucian, or Master Lucian as Ars would soon take to calling him, started teaching him magic. A wanderer who would come and go as he pleased, Master Lucian would often teach him a spell and tell him to master it before Lucian's retun, a time span which could be weeks or months. With each visit, Master Lucian would share stories of adventures. Slowly but surely, Ars soon was also yearning for the same kind of adventure and would train diligently the spells that he was taught. In this fashion, the years passed by.

It was only a few days ago that this happened. Master Lucian arrived to their usual meeting spot in the harbor, with an even brighter and mischievous smile than usual. "I received an invitation from an acquaintance to take part in an adventurers guild. It sounds like too much work, so how about you going in my stead? Just tell Bart that I sent you, it will be fun." Ars jumped at the opportunity given to him. This was Master Lucian's way of saying he was ready. Ars left a letter to his father and set off on his journey towards the place Master Lucian had spoken off. He would find this mister Bart and his guild, and that would be the beginning of his very own adventure.

Other: My favorite monster girl is probably the Lamia, I think, though that might just be the hours sunk into Monster Girl Quest speaking, heheh. Dullahans do make me think of interesting possibilities, though....

Edit: Decided to specify him as hailing from Boreal Port so he fits in to the setting better somewhat than having the "random generic place" background.

Hello there. This has caught my interest, the obvious reason being Monster Girls, are you still accepting new players?
