I am on discord, Samara #8130. If anyone remembers me from six years ago, do say hi. I apologize in advance if I don't remember you.

As Lapis drew closer the group took shape. A masked woman and two men stood outside the mouth of a cave. Blood and gore dripped from them, trailing back into the tunnel. Lapis unconsciously wrinkled her nose, anticipating the stench. She heard the woman yelling at the two men briefly, but her outburst was over by the time the caravan was near enough to make out her words. A book occupied one gesticulating hand, a sword the other. Lapis eyed the book curiously and the sword warily. Perhaps approaching these people had been a bad idea.

When the caravan finally came to a stop before the group, however, what appeared to be a pirate waved at them rather cheerfully. Lapis stared at the strange man, nonplussed, as she listened to his outrageous speech. She did finally bristle and dismount when he hopped in the back, bold-as-you-please. She raced around to watch him as he tossed a book at poor Arthur and started rooting through their meager belongings. Pottery, tin and copper pans, and a single large rug toppled from their neat stack onto the floor of the caravan. His comment about Helah went unheard as she raised her voice indignantly.

Excuse me! Sir! We would be happy to assist you and your...party, but please do not disturb my wares unless you mean to buy the lot!

She jumped into the caravan after him, selecting one of the several large canteens of water from one of the interior shelves. My name is Lapis Dustwalker. My companion is Novice Arthur Travers. You may take this water to your companions and drink your fill. Please allow me to rearrange in here to fit you all.

She waited for him to jump down from the caravan before murmuring to Arthur, It seems we may have to keep an eye on that one. Rather bold, isn’t he? Before she could ask Arthur about the book the pirate gave him, she heard a nervous bleat from the front of the caravan. Grumbling under her breath, already exasperated, she hurried back around to see the taller man approaching her camel.

If you are thinking to ride my camel, you’d better offer her a tasty bribe first. She doesn’t take kindly to strangers on her back. Just ask the last street urchin she spat on. Poor boy stunk for a month.

Lapis stared wearily at her blurry destination. The cave entrance wavered with heat shimmer; it was a bit out of their way, but her poor camel could use the shelter from the sun. The detour off the trail would be worth it for an hour or two of blessed shade for Helah.

As she made her way across the dune, the heat waves began to reveal a strange sight. A small group was gathered at the cave mouth, wearing strange garments and covered head to toe in gore. They all wielded weapons and Lapis’s first instinct was to pull back on the reins, cooing to her mare.

Whoa! Arthur, do you see those people up there? What do you make of them? She could hear her companion put down the boots he was shining and poke his head out of the wagon behind her. She leaned forward to stroke Helah’s rump as she considered the group. They definitely seemed like they could be dangerous…but as she continued to study them, her nerves settled. They looked just as weary as she was, if not more. Evidently they had just survived some terrible battle, and would be in need of respite. A single eyebrow quirked up at the thought of the kind of coin such warriors must carry. And if she could see them, they could surely see her wagon as well. She may as well meet these battered people. Goodness knows she could use the money.

She turned to Arthur, however, to get his decision first. She'd come to trust his quiet opinions in the short time he'd worked for her. He had a straightforward way about him that she admired, his religion notwithstanding. Should we offer them assistance?

yessir it's linked at the top right of the page 😁
@Spiffy@Cyrania
Are you guys on the official RPGuild discord or do you have your own?

Does this look a little better? Let me know any tweaks you'd like me to make.



I did end up finding a picture I liked! Edited to add.
@Spiffy @Cyrania

Woohoo!! Excited to join the team!

What sorts of details would you like me to elaborate on? I'm open to suggestions: whatever you feel would fit best in your story.

I'm working into putting my cs into more of a list format for ease of reading. Fewer blocks of text! I likely won't have a picture to add to it. I spent hours trying to find something that fit who I had in mind. I hope that's okay. If not I can try again!
My first anime was technically either Sailor Moon or Pokemon, back when I was a kid and I had no idea what anime was. I knew them as cartoons.
The show that got me interested in anime as an older person was Avatar: The Last Airbender, though I know it's disputed whether or not it's a true anime. I don't care about the distinction, but that's what made me more aware of anime. The first true anime I watched was Soul Eater.

I don't really have an opinion on the whole no-more-Ash thing; I think I accept that the showrunners decided that Ash was done as a character and that Pokemon just isn't a show for me anymore. I think it's for the new generation of Pokemasters. Hope they enjoy it!
I am open to changes, suggestions, or complete rewrites. I like the idea of her being someone who comes into her power later in life, as a surprise to her, but I wanted to see what you guys thought would be a good fit. So I've left the class open. I was already drawn to Roh and it seems that's where y'all are, so that's cool. Again, super open to scrapping the character completely and starting over, too. Looking to stretch my writin' legs again.


Hi! I am looking for a roleplay to jump into and I like the pace and skill level of this one. Any chance I can apply? I have a character sheet basically ready to go.
