Who are you?
"I am Ǫlni, son of Brúni, who forged the necklace Frigga asked for millennia ago on Tromsøya Isle. I have worked for kings and chieftans, jotuns and the aesir themselves! Long years have I slept in the bosom of the world, only to find it far different than I ever could have imagined. My sleeping brothers were of stone. Dead or slumbering, I could not say. But I have traveled midgard these twenty years in search of any awakened of my kin, and I intend to find them."

How long have you been in the city?
"Four seasons of yule, or what the americans call Christmas."

What was your greatest accomplishment in the city?
"An industrial warehouse in lowtown. Ate, I worked on the Hood-McPherson Building, true enough. But it's too much glass and plastic. The warehouse is made of good stone and sturdy timber, and it shall be used for an actual purpose beyond the mewling of men."

Why did you stop?
"Stop? I'll continue, human. But first thing's first, I must find more of my kind."

What do you desperately need?
"I need the tools to make great wonders, like the artifacts of old. I need my brothers back at my side, and the Gods to approach us once again for our craftsmanship!"

them to danger or retribution. On a 7-9, tell the MC why you owe them a
Debt. On a miss, tell the MC why they want you dead

Too Old for this Shit!: When you get caught up in a fight you tried to
prevent, you get armor+1 and take +1 ongoing to seeing yourself and

The fine print

The half your soul could make sense, but the rest is retarded.

@Zmija Sebastian

Let's be careful on this kinda thing, my boy. Gotta read the rules.

Nothing looks interesting.

Gold shows up, just give it a week or two

What do you think of my maker either a dwarf or someone who had somehow stolen dwarven secrets?

@Candykane

Stolen dwarfish secrets sounds good to me, I think.

Dark Streets - Urban Shadows

@Candykane@XxFellsingxX@POOHEAD189@rush99999

Go ahead and move your sheets to the character tab

@Penny

Aye aye captain. Will switch over soon

Dark Streets - Urban Shadows

Someone has knowledge of or a tie to your creator (or their lineage) that they refuse to share. They owe you one debt.

Given that both of you have a certain... antiquity @POOHEAD189@rush99999

@Candykane

I'd be up for it, certainly :)

Dark Streets - Urban Shadows

<Snipped quote by POOHEAD189>

That's good, because January's old armor from his days as a Roman Legate has been long overdue for a tune up. You reckon that'd be something Ǫlni could see to?

@rush99999

Definitely! That's actually a pretty great character thread

Dark Streets - Urban Shadows

<Snipped quote by POOHEAD189>

Would you be willing to have January owing you this Debt?

@rush99999

For old times sake, aye!

Now to add Valley Girl Freya who is more interested in forever 21....

@Penny

What a concept! And yet strangely appealing..

Dark Streets - Urban Shadows

@POOHEAD189 very cool take on the veteran!

@Penny

Any excuse to play a dwarf ;)

Rise to The Top: Medieval Intrigue RP

Well, that wasn't quite what he had in mind, but immediately he latched on to the fact it wasn't a no, even if it wasn't the resounding yes he had hoped for. He had expected such a reply in the fantasies he had granted himself, but he couldn't quite recall the smooth reply he always had. Plus, this time, he had foolishly not thought ahead about it. He knew it was her anxieties that halted her from something that could make the both of them happy. There was no logic that would dissuade him. He knew that instinctively.

"So..." He said, getting to his feet. He still had her hands in his his, and his dark eyes were level with hers. "You believe it would be better for me if I were to live all of my life in unhappiness rather than to live some of it like that..."

He had a small smile on his face, though not because he was not sympathetic to her reservations. He knew them almost as well as one of her own family, he felt. It was simply a part of her charm, to him. She was collected, intelligent, always planned everything. He was no stranger to plots, but he was more prone to 'winging it' as the commoners said. "You may not wish to harm me, but there is no greater harm than seeing you not be happy. Than seeing you marry someone else, someone you are forced to." His next words were breathy and earnest. "There is no greater harm than being apart from you."

Galt's family had thought he should have married years ago, though for entirely different reasons than people might wish that upon Silke. They thought a woman might make him honest. He had always laughed at the ridiculousness of that forlorn hope, and yet ironically, one had. The one he was asking to marry him right here and now.

"You know in your heart you want to." Galt whispered, and he shook his head. "It won't solve everything. It won't solve the problems of the kingdom or make life perfect. But together there's nothing we can't work towards, and there's nowhere I would rather be than by you. Please, for once in the months I've known you, do me the favor of answering how you would desire it. I know you're frightened. I am too but..." He squeezed her hands. "Do you trust me?"
