Nymeria

The Kingdom of Belvoir - Hunter's Guild (Taking Applications)

Captain Drystan

Pulling his hand away from his side, he saw it covered in blood. Drystan scowled at it but he wouldn't let it slow him down. He whipped the vampire blood off his sword onto his pants and took a moment to survey the now empty room. Littered with bodies and blood, he took a long look at each of the lifeless husks. As all of them appeared to be fully dead, he made his way to the doorway the previous two vampires had disappeared through. He wondered briefly if the hunters above would follow. Not sure how they were faring in their own battles, he decided to move on.

He slowly took each stair one at a time, quietly making his way down the long stairwell. The stone steps were cold under his feet and he could feel the cold air bouncing off the stone walls. He wondered how far down into the earth he was and how the vampires built this system. As he came to a curve in the stairs he paused as he could see the light coming from the next room. He could hear movement and some voices....many voices. Some sounded worried, some angry, while there was one that sent a chill down his spine. He couldn't understand what this one said but it was louder than the rest, a deep, booming voice that carried over the the hard ground. He adjusted his grip on his sword as he began the descent once again.

He came to the doorway (to room 6) and could see the shadows of figures on the far side of the room. There appeared to be some kind of pit in the center of the room surrounded in torches. The flickering light of the fires made it difficult to track the shadows movements. Based on what he could hear, he guessed there were a good number of vampires left in this room. Perhaps that was all that was left of them. Either way, he was vastly outnumbered.

He pushed himself against the wall as a figure ran across the room to the doorway located along the closest wall. He heard footsteps fade into the distance. Must be another staircase... he thought to himself. He took a moment to collect himself, feeling to make sure his dagger was still in it's sheath in case he needed it. Alright, let's do this...'

He lunged into the room, quickly taking in his surroundings. He could see the whole pit he had spotted from the doorway. It took up a good half of the room with raised walls around it. On the far side of the room were somewhere between fifteen to twenty vampires. Of those, around 5 were children, 8 were women and the rest were men. Other than the normal-looking ones was a monster of a creature. A male vampire, upwards of of 7 feet tall, with huge, square shoulders. He appeared older than the others, larger and and more muscular by far. He had a massive battle axe strapped to his back. His red eyes fixated on the new human in the room and he pulled his lips back in what could only be described as a snarl, revealing two massive fangs. A handful of the women pushed the children farther against the wall, placing their bodies between them and the captain. The rest of the women and men stepped forward next to their leader, some with weapons, some merely brandishing fists. They were ready for this fight.

Drystan raised his sword. He let out a battle cry and ran towards the group. There was a great clash of metal against metal as he made contact with the first wave that rushed out to meet him. The room tapered off as the pit came up close to the wall so only two of the vampires were able to fit through at a time. As he fought the two that came first, he could see out of the corner of his eye that two more were rushing around the other side. It wouldn't be long before he was flanked by them. He would have to work quickly.

The massive creature smiled and slowly drew his axe. The blade of the axe was larger than his head and the way he held it was completely effortless. He slowly began stepping forward, making his way to the battle.

Enigma: Dawn of the Rebellion [Third times the charm?]

I am interested. I have too much free time on my hands and can definitely handle three posts a week.....honestly, I keep getting bored waiting for people to reply in other roleplays. That being said, I've only been able to find a handful of roleplays that last longer than a week....

But I'm interested!

The Revenant

@percius388
Haha, maybe.

I was thinking her and @Auz's character would have a very interesting relationship. Like a love-hate at first glance, since she is a magic user and they are both elves.

The Revenant

Hmm, well I was originally going to make a male character, but seeing as everyone else is male, minus the one, I think I'll try to make a female. Don't hesitate to correct or critique as I'm used to playing male characters.

Name: Dahlia Cailteux

Age: 102

Race: Elf

Gender: Female

Profession: Dahlia made her living foraging and hunting, selling various herbs, meats and animal pelts in different towns she came across in her travels.

Appearance:

Dahlia

Dahlia is tall and pale with white hair and dark eyes. Her hair comes down to her lower back and is often mostly pulled back leaving some strands to lay loosely around her face. She wears dark clothes with many pouches, pockets and baubles attached to her belts. She wears long, fingerless gloves that end just above her elbows with wraps and some bracelets. She often wears shorts or form-fitting pants that tuck into her boots. She has a bustle skirt that she wears when she's in towns but takes off to hunt, as it would get in the way.

Revenant Ability: Animal Manipulation: Dahlia can control any animal she can see or that is within 30 feet from her. She can call on them for help, cause them to attack an enemy or even go fetch something for her. (As time goes on and her powers grow, I intend her to be able to take on certain animal abilities, such as flight, water breathing, speed, etc.)

Along with her newfound abilities, her magic that she has stifled since birth has started blooming, much more powerful although she is inexperienced and doesn't quite know how to use it. Her previous hunting experience has also blossomed. She can now shoot arrows with pinpoint accuracy from great distances. In close range, she is also very skilled with a dagger.

Personality: Dahlia often come across as reserved and quiet, as she spends a good portion of her time alone. She is flighty and can often be seen as too careful, sometimes paranoid. She is mistrusting of most people, but isn't unkind unless an individual gives her a reason to be. She has an intense hatred for Altar and all he stands for. He has made her life one of constant fear and movement as she can't risk staying in one place too long, or else she may be found by the Unseen.

History: From the time Dahlia was born, she was on the run. She was born with magic abilities and her parents knew immediately that they had to hide her from Altar and his minions. They left the town they were living in and began their lifelong journey. They had relative success for the first few years of her life, moving from town to town, sometimes staying in the forests if they felt at all in danger. It wasn't until she was 6 that things started to go downhill.

They had been staying in a small town when one of Altar's armies stormed the town. Being the only elves there, they were immediately targeted. They managed to escape, just barely, fleeing the town and moving into a cavern some ways off. Instances like this happened every once in a while, and they began wearing hoods and other things to hide their elven ears. She learned to hide her magic abilities, never practicing it or speaking of it.

Finally when she was 18, they were unable to escape from these minions. Her parents were captured and killed publicly. She was able to escape during the chaos and she stayed on her own ever since.

She had learned to hunt and live off the land as soon as she was able to hold a bow, so that's what she did. She spent much of her time in the forests, away from civilization getting by on her skills as a hunter and gatherer. After some time, she began traveling from town to town, selling dried meats, pelts and herbs she gathered in the woods. She was in Dalath at the time of the attack, staying at an inn and selling her wares in the marketplace. She tried to run but, as so often happens, her luck ran out and she was caught in the battle. This time she was simply killed for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. When she came back to life, she felt an increased hatred for the ones that caused her death. She had been running her entire life. Now she had died and it was time to stop running.

The Mill and Bell Tavern and Pleasure House - Possible 1x1 or Small Group Roleplay

@JBRam2002
I agree and had thought that myself. That's why I didn't want to post it in the casual interest check. I feel it requires more than just two players, however, to really get the story rolling.

Looking for Casual 1x1 Partner

@Aristocles

That sounds like The Handmaiden's Tale. I'm willing to change the setting to a medieval one, getting rid of the cyborgs and replacing it with normal people. My original intentions were to have it be a higher-end bordello with men and women working there, not just women. I'm not very interested in playing dragon-people or any kind of furry-type creature. I prefer just ordinary humans.

Looking for Casual 1x1 Partner

@Aristocles I have not but I'm open to changing things a little bit.

The Mill and Bell Tavern and Pleasure House - Possible 1x1 or Small Group Roleplay

@Ophidian My plan for this roleplay is to take place almost entirely inside the brothel. But the sci-fi aspect of it is more focused on bionic humans than space travel and things like that. Futuristic weapons and technologies are accepted.

The Mill and Bell Tavern and Pleasure House - Possible 1x1 or Small Group Roleplay

Welcome to The Mill and Bell Tavern and Pleasure House

All the pleasures of the world under one roof.

It is the year 2450 and modern science has perfected the mixture of human and electronics. Cyborgs are almost perfect recreations of humans: they have individual personalities, likes, dislikes, flaws, and some even argue that they feel emotion. This is a hotly debated topic, however, as many believe they are simply programmed this way while others insist that they do, in fact, have feelings. Whether you are a believer or not is of little importance, however, as the androids are so advanced that only the rich can afford them.

Enter the future of pleasure: The Mill and Bell Tavern and Pleasure House. This large establishment is hardly the first of it's kind, though it is one of the richest. Combining the earthly pleasures of alcohol, food, theater and, of course, sex. Prostitution remains illegal with humans, but these new pleasure houses do not employ humans. Instead, they employ humanoid cyborgs. These androids are far superior to their human counterparts: they do not carry diseases, they don't get sick, they don't need sleep and, perhaps the most important, they are fully programmable. The pleasure cyborgs, also called Companions or Courtesans, are built with a chip installed in their necks to keep them from rebelling against their masters and each one is uniquely individual to serve everyone's tastes.

The Story

Welcome to my Futuristic Bordello Interest Check! Here you have your choice to play a working cyborg, either a courtesan or one of the other workers (ie bartender, waiter/waitress, actor, etc.) or a human guest in the bordello. As stated before, each cyborg is completely humanoid both in appearance and personality. The only thing that sets them apart is their lack of free will, as they are programmed. There are rumors that some of the androids have found a way to disable this programming, essentially giving themselves freedom, but there are no confirmed reports of that ever happening.

The Pleasure House is run by humans of higher standing who employ cyborgs as their workers. The success of this pleasure house is largely due to it's vast possibilities. It has entertainment for all types of people: There is a gourmet restaurant, a fully stocked bar and lounge area, theaters with a variety of shows, and, of course, available rooms to rent with a variety of paid companions.

This house prides itself on it's variety of workers: they employ all kinds of companions to suite every kind of need. There are both men and women, small, large, shy, boisterous, dominatrices, submitters, and any other 'type' you can think of.

As all of the employees here at Mill and Bell's are androids, most humans have forgotten all moral dilemmas of prostitution, assuming that their partners are completely willing and happy to serve them. This is not always the case, however. As science has perfected cyborgs so much, many of the beings have begun to feel resentment, and yearning to escape. They are unable to admit this to their human overlords, however, as their programming prevents it. But, sometimes, when they are alone, they talk in secret amongst themselves. Some have tried making plans of disabling their slave chips, as they have come to call them. None have succeeded, however. The last attempt ended in the android losing it's entire personality and becoming a husk of a being. It is still in the employ of the pleasure house, though it got moved to working custodian-type jobs, never interacting with the patrons.

The Rules

1. Obviously, this is a mature roleplay and, therefore, will only be for ages 18+.
2. Please follow the guilds rules. While there will obviously be sex in this roleplay, I request that you do not go into details describing it. You may elude to what is happening, but ultimately, keep the activities behind closed doors, so to speak.
3. All other general roleplay rules apply: no godmodding, don't be a jerk, listen to the gm or guild moderators if it comes to that, etc.
4. I want this to be a casual/high-casual roleplay. I prefer one to two paragraph posts, but I'm not super concerned with length as long as your character and the story are interesting.
5. You may play as many characters as you want within reason.
6. I may add more rules as I think of them.

So this is my idea! I'm not sure if it would work better 1x1 or as a small group. I want to post here and see what kind of interest I generate. Let me know what you think! If you are interested and would like to have a group roleplay, let me know. If I get enough people interested, I will post it in the casual roleplay section with a character sheet to fill out.

This can also, easily, become a medieval or modern day roleplay. We would just get rid of the cyborg aspect of it and have it be about the workers and the patrons. Perhaps the courtesans are not happy but are being forced into working? I'm open to any tweaks you might suggest.
