The Faraway Land: Resurrection

@StormHeart
Still kinda waitin' on you. :3

@Thinslayer

Sorry about that! I've been really busy with school so I wasn't able to be on here as much as I used to. I'll start my post right now.

The Faraway Land: Resurrection

Tired and drained after an impromptu trip, funeral, and disturbing news. I'll try to post tomorrow.

@StormHeart I love your post. I can tell you tried really hard on that one, and it paid off! Let's see if I can match that work.

@Thinslayer

That means so much, haha. I rewrote it five times and then I forgot to save my post when I was away, so it all deleted! Personally, I think I much prefer my new post over my old post now.

The Faraway Land: Resurrection

@Thinslayer Oh wow, thank you so much! I'm fairly new to roleplaying so this is a big help for me. I'm going to go rewrite my post now.

Hey, is this dead?

The Faraway Land: Resurrection

@Thinslayer "Work faster, you stupid elf!" She couldn't believe that she, a talented healer had to waste her talents on a bunch of buffoons who ate until they got sick. She just wanted to get off of this yacht and pretend that Gurk and his henchmen never existed. Then, she suddenly spotted a girl with silver hair getting harassed by Gurk's minions. "What are you gawking at? Want to switch places with her?" She recognized that voice anywhere. It was Gurk.

"No thanks, unless if you want me to stop healing you every time you got sick to your stomach." She said. She had to do something to make Gurk and his minions stop harassing her without having to switch places with her, but how?

"How about this? I'll heal you whenever you want to, in favor of leaving this girl alone." She smiled. Hopefully, that would be enough to make him stop his henchmen. She personally didn't like helping people for no reason, but she remembered what her mother always told her. "Always help strangers in need, because you never know who they actually are!"

She doubted that the girl was anyone special, but who knew? There's always a first time for everything.

It's true. I'm currently crafting an intro involving a princess, a letter, and an unexpected death. Bringing all players together into one intro will take time; two of you are connected so far.

@Thinslayer

Can't wait to see how it turns out!

The Faraway Land: Resurrection

Name: Kiera Akello
Image:
Gender: Female
Race: Elf
How you got here:
Kiera was born in Aetherion and grew up in the faraway land.
Background:
Kiera was always told by everyone she had amazing healing powers. Her mother and father were good clerics, so this made sense to everyone. She always enjoyed healing things, because she always felt at peace when she did it. Well, she would heal people if they complimented her. She was incredibly vain and would refuse to heal you unless if you said she was beautiful. Either that or whip up a sob story out of nowhere. If she felt bad for you enough, she will end up doing whatever you wanted her to do. Even though she was a good healer, she created a bad name for herself in her hometown because she wouldn't heal anybody who had done something bad to her one time or another, but even though she is unreliable she knows a lot about herbs and can heal broken limbs. When Kiera wanted to get out of the village and explore the world, she took this opportunity and went to King of Dragan and decided to help heal people while experiencing the world for the first time.
Powers, Abilities, & Equips:
Power: Advanced Healing
Abilities: Can use daggers
Equips:
Healing staff, poison, burn etc. antidotes, an iron dagger, and a cape to keep herself warm.
Desired Class: Cleric
Character Flaws:
Gullible, know to be absent-minded at times, naive. Known to be spiteful at times. She is very vain and selfish.
Famous Quotes: "I don't understand why people don't like being clerics. You basically decide whether you companions live or die!"

@Thinslayer Oh, I edited my original post! Sorry for not clearing that up.

Sorry I haven't posted in a while! I was really busy with schoolwork, but I'm back.

@StormHeart
I like the pic selection.

The "How you got here" section needs work. She can't have come from another world if she was born here. Please don't feel compelled to give her any weird origins if you don't want them. She can have nothing to do with other worlds whatsoever if you so choose. That section is there in case you felt like giving your character a more interesting introduction to the world (like being summoned, walking through a closet, falling from the sky, arriving by starship, etc.). If she was born here and was never even remotely involved with other points of origin, that's perfectly fine. But as-is, the section looks really weird.

In general, I'd like to see more work put into the character's background and personality, especially the character flaws. The simple, traditional nature of this RP was designed to give greater freedom to make strong characters. Please take advantage of it.

One place I would start is with the character flaw. This is the single most important part of the CS, because it's what you're developing about the character over the course of the whole story. If you're prepared to make a huge deal over Kiera's gullibility, naiveté, and spitefulness, and to let it cost her within an inch of her life, then run with it, but otherwise, consider other possible flaws.

For a healer, a good flaw to consider would be conceitedness. Thinking only of oneself presents interesting and violent conflicts with the humble generosity of the healing profession, and it would make for an incredible story. You don't have to use this flaw, but that's the kind of flaw I want her to have - a fundamental contradiction in her character that will take a whole story to work through.

Some examples of mine: One healer character suffered debilitating PTSD following years of torment - the healer needed healing, in other words. Another healer was racist (the healer refused to heal some people) and had a long fall from grace as a result.

Kiera could work, but find me a good flaw first. ;)

@Thinslayer

Thanks for telling me that! I'll go ahead and fix the character.
