Tatsua Aiisen said @Lesley, the first step to joining a roleplay is to read the first page~!


There are nicer ways to say that, you know...I've been on this site for a while now. I scanned the first page several times and didn't see that. I don't mind not being able to join, but I don't appreciate being talked down too, either.
Is this still taking new players?

Im interested :p


The RP thread is already up, it fell to the second page though.
Ah, alright...you know I'll be there. P=<
Nope, we're gonna keep it going. It's not dead. *Does CPR* I will make a post.

And you are totally awesome at making RPs! The two I've tried to start where horrible.
Oh, by the way, for whoever's character Preston ends up with- there's an entire romance subplot he's involved with in his native setting, that could easily be adjusted to work in this RP. It will require the other player to know a bit about what's going on, so when that happens PM me to get the story details.
*Waves arms* Nope, nope, not letting this one go.
Just so you guys know the gm never said that there where limited slots for each zodiac. I don't know for sure either way, but just saying.

This sounds like it could get the plane thing to work out as well, at least backstory-wise. So, kind of a place that can be stumbled upon from the "normal world" or whatever, I guess, but only under certain conditions. This place is more magic-oriented than tech-oriented for now, but the presence of people from more tech-savvy worlds can change this over time. Does this sound okay?


You know, you didn't have to adjust the roleplay for me or anything if you didn't want to, so thanks a lot. =) I think this idea will work out fine.
Alright, that works~

Name: Erik Reaver
Age and Year: 17, Sophomore
Gender: Male

Appearance: 6'2", with neck-length, straw blonde hair and hazel green eyes. He's moderately well built and has a deep tan from spending his days out in the sun while working on his parent's farm. Wears a pair of wire-rimmed glasses due to extreme farsightedness.

Personality: He tries to be a socialite, and would like to be popular and well liked, but the moment he tries to put himself in the middle of a crowd of people he usually ends up alienating them. This stems largely from the fact that he can be incredibly rude, abrasive and condescending, not to mention stubborn. The few friends he does have try to look past this and see his better traits; at heart, he's an artist, who when frustrated by his inability to gain the respect of others spends most of his free time alone, painting. Despite not being very adept at interacting with people, he has a surprising tenderness towards non-human things like pets and plants. In fact, he has something of a green thumb, and enjoys growing potted plants in his windowsill; these often end up being the subject of many of his paintings.

Zodiac: Taurus

Zodiac powers:

-Biomancy; or the ability to affect the growth of plantlife. This happens both passively and on command; he could actively decide to make plants around him grow wildly out of control, but even his consistent presence causes them to be more vibrant and healthy, and he has no control over this aspect. The effect is mutual; he seems to be more energetic and happy when his houseplants are well cared for.

-High Endurance; he can definitely be killed or badly injured, but he can take a lot more physical punishment then a normal human and still come out of it okay. This seems to carry over to mental endurance as well; getting into a debate with Erik about anything is incredibly draining and exhausting due to his stubbornness, and yet he himself never seems to break a sweat.

-Bovine mimicry; Turning into a minotaur gives him incredible strength and endurance, but he also has no control over his actions in this state, meaning he's only ever used this power in dire situations.

Alignment later on: Good, just an asshole sometimes.

History: Erik's life began in a very unfortunate way. His mother Elizabeth had for years attempted to escape from an abusive relationship with an obsessive sociopath of a man, but everywhere she went he would hunt her down, forcing her to move again to try and get away. Tragically, this culminated in an incident where she was victimized by him and became pregnant. Shortly thereafter, she was taken in by a childhood friend who promised to care for her and her unborn child even at the risk of his own life. Erik took his last name from the farmer, Austin Reaver, who had vowed to protect them, and was raised by him as a son. Elizabeth and Austin eventually married, giving Erik four small siblings.

His partially adoptive family is truly loving and stronger for all of the hardships they've endured, but it hasn't prevented things from his past from coming back to haunt him. He inherited not only his terrible eyesight from his biological father, but also the powers of the Taurus zodiac and all of the responsibility that comes with it. He also causes his mother some vexation and grief due to his poor social skills and occasional fits of anger, but some of this is exacerbated from her point of view due to her own personal fears about what kind of person he will become. In reality, he's almost all bark and no bite, and whatever evils possessed his father have little hold on him. Unlikeable though Erik may sometimes be, he's also valiant and determined to righteousness done where righteousness is deserved.

(I know that's a little dark, I could tone that down if needed, it's just the backstory that comes with the character.)
