Escape the Tempest

Interesting.

Post-Cataclysmic Earth

Were you planning on using the character thread/tab? I don't know about everyone else, but I'd really enjoy having all of "our" beautiful faces in one place for quicker reference. :)

Post-Cataclysmic Earth

Appearance:


Name: Darla Ann Thompson

Age: 23

Before the Cataclysm: Being the youngest of five children was never easy, especially considering that Darla Ann was the only girl. The boys were always so overbearing! Most annoying of all was Bobby Keith, Darla Ann’s twin and elder brother by 3 hours. He had always felt the need to stick his nose into his sister’s business. Like that time in high school when he had roughed up Darla Ann’s ex-boyfriend. Or the time in college when he tried to hook up with his sister’s girlfriend. To be fair, Keith had not known about his sister’s fluid sexuality and assumed the poor girl was a lonely friend. What a jerk… but we digress.

Darla Ann, like her parents, was always on the fringe of what was the social norm. Her parents had been hippies, but traded in that life for a family and a sprawling ranch in Texas. Even after settling down, they were quick to startle the nearby community by raising the Thompson children to think on their own and respect the world around them. Not to mention the weird ranch they owned. Not one animal ever died of anything but natural causes on the Thompson Ranch. Darla Ann was a liberal naturalist, an amateur herbalist, a practicer of Zen Buddhism, an advocate of non-monogamy, a gentle-hearted pacifist (except when it came to her twin), a struggling vegetarian, and a devoted student with big aspirations. After graduating from UC-Berkely, Darla Ann headed to Georgia Tech to earn her graduate degree in Environmental Engineering with an emphasis on renewable energies. She was beginning a research-fellowship as part of her PhD program at Yellow Stone during the Spring of 2021.

Changes: The air isn’t the only thing that has a green tint; so does Darla Ann’s skin. And it’s starting to seem really odd that her phone battery hasn’t gone down in the last few hours… Weird.

Sunspark, the black raven.
His name is well deserved as he can act as a source of light in the dark. Edith has seen the shadows slink away from this light and suspects that it might even deter a Cimmerian. Patient and loving, Sunspark is often Edith's confidant. He is always quick to help Edith search through countless volumes of lore.

Edith had been the little girl that spent half her time fighting and the other half reading. Losing her gentle librarian mother to a Cimmerian at the tender age of 7 had left her angry and lonely. But the respect for literature was deeply instilled in Edith, and so she was voracious in her pursuit of books. Her early school years were marked with bruised bullies and bookmarked pages. At the age of 15, her sights fell upon a coveted tome that was to be held at Velirya University. Sure that she needed to read the book, Edith broke into the vaults of the university library despite the trouble she would find herself in if caught. She spent that entire night reading by candlelight. The High Professor of Lore was surprised to find a young girl asleep in the room of fantastic lore the next morning. Touched by the girl’s thirst for knowledge, he gently woke her and explained his proposed deal. If she would continue her studies at Velirya University, he wouldn’t turn her over to the authorities. Edith was quick to agree.
All was smooth in Edith’s world until her eighteenth birthday. The water from the goblet urged her to avenger her mother’s death and join the Mercenaries. But Edith could not turn her back on the lore she was finally beginning to understand. So, Edith became the first person to ever turn down a calling to the Mercs to stay a Familiar at the university. Now, two and a half years later, her studies of lore have brought Edith closer to understanding the why, what, who, and how of this war.

Just curious, could you elaborate on the roles of the Familiars?

Thanks!

A Different sort of Post-Cataclysmic Earth RP

Is it too late for this newbie to express interest?

If yes, then :(
If no, then... interest!

A Giddy Hello

At that point I know it's time to wash my knives.

@Mahz

My mum and stepdad instilled the fear of the knife gods into me as a youngster. And by that I mean they would constantly nag about washing the knives right away so they wouldn't rust. So now it is a convenient kitchen OCD habit. Yay for behavior conditioning! :D

A Giddy Hello

Hello all!

College student here, and major nerd! I'm an avid player of tabletop rpgs, and I prefer to play in a very interactive, dialogue/narrative driven style, so maybe that will translate well here?

Quick tidbits about me:
- I have a plethora of stuffed animals that all have some pretty interesting names (i.e. my octopus named Goat-eyed Finnegan).
- I prefer to use the biggest knife in the kitchen when cooking. It just feels right.
- I tend to think with portals and plasmids.
- I am in a seriously committed relationship with peanut butter. But don't worry, we're non-monogamous.

So, yeah. Coolio! Feel free to ask me anything.
