Nameless Story #1
​
Ever had a dream? Of course. Everyone dreams!
How about a dream where you were loved? Sure. Lots of people dream of love.
What about a dream where the love you felt was so pure and so strong, that you were absolutely sure you touched the face of God? Um. I'm not sure. Maybe?
Can you imagine a love like that? I'm trying to.
A love that transcends everything? That sounds powerful.
A love that heals all wounds? I want a love like that.
A love that gives you the strength and courage to overcome anything? Does a love like that really exist?
I have...

Do you want to hear about how I found that love? Tell me.

Do you want to know where? Where?

What was she like? Oh... she was amazing.
​
I woke to a faint sound, not unlike a chime, in a dense forest of pines. The ground was covered in needles. The air was fresher than anything I had ever smelled. It was dark there, the moon shone brilliantly through breaks in the canopy. I chased moonbeams through the dark. The lovely chiming sound had a pulse. I'd never heard such a thing, but it put my mind at ease. I could hear frogs and insects all around me. Occasionally, a creature would run across my path and chirp. I had never seen anything like these animals, nor had I ever been in such a place. I could see a clearing just ahead, through the trees. When I stepped through, I found myself in a field of grass. It swayed in the gentle wind. There was a sweet aroma like roses all around me. I looked up, and I saw...

What did you see?
​
It looked kind of like... crystal. That's it, a crystal in the shape of a conch shell. It emitted the softest and most gentle light. I had never seen a moon quite like it. What a wondrous world is this! I gazed in wonder at the marvelous sight. Then I heard a voice. "Ban'ka ju'wali! Ju'wali!" Thud! I was met with blackness.

I don't know how much time passed before I woke again, but when I did, I could see a fire... I smelled smoke and roasting meat. I saw shadows dancing and swaying in the firelight, and heard voices speaking that bizarre language from before. My hands and feet were bound, so I couldn't escape. But there... then... that is when I saw her. I will remember her in every life I'm given. Veleria... My sweet Veleria.

What did she look like?​

You wouldn't understand. She was not human like us, but she was more. These beings were alien to me, but their features reminded me of wolves. She had pointed ears. She had a tail. Her coat was thick and white as the snow. They looked like those characters from that movie I loved as a child.

So you fell in love with a dog? What the hell?
​
Don't you ever call her that. She had more humanity than any creature I've ever seen. She was more loving than you. More loving than I could ever be. She was a Goddess in my eyes. Her voice... it was enchanting. She sang to it. She sang to that shell in the sky, and when she sang... it would always snow. She was magical. They were all magical, but my Veleria... she was...

She is your destiny...​

Yes. She was. And I'd do anything for her. Even the unthinkable. Indeed... because of her, I would kill my own kind.

How could you do something like that?
​
For her. For her world. To keep her safe. I was the one. I was chosen. I lived among them. I became one of them. And then came the war...

The war of the Red Eyes.

Do you want to hear the rest of the story?
​
For this story, I would really like to have a partner who can respond somewhat frequently. Someone literate with massive posts is appreciated but not always necessary. This story is based on a real dream that I had a long time ago, that is very near and dear to my heart. It will be MxF. I will play the currently unnamed male, as well as Ban'ka, AKA Ban, and a couple of other male characters of Veleria's people, and some characters that will be involved later. You will play Veleria, as well as any side characters as you like, such as Kri, which I can tell you about if you'd like. This story will have plenty of romance, some fantasy and a lot of drama. It is the ultimate love story in my mind, and I'd be happy to tell you about the end of my dream if it might help you to understand just how much Veleria has impacted me in life.

The Obsidian Sentinel
​
A long time ago, on the continent of Feldren, a war took place. The lord of darkness assembled a vile army to destroy and reshape the world to his liking. Hellbent on annihilating every race and species of creature to repopulate the world with his evil progeny, he spread his forces across the land to sack the kingdoms of men, elves, dwarves, and lupine. The kingdoms joined together to face this overwhelming threat; but one by one, each fell to the dark lord's power. That is, until a wizard appeared on Feldren with a plot of his own. Wise and mysterious, and well learned in all types of magic, the wizard, with the help of the allied races, assembled an army to rival the evil lord. These soldiers were given the name sentinels. These sentinels, created by weaving the spirits of the allied races into mystical suits of armor, each bore one aspect of the wizard's power.

The white sentinels were given power over light and healing. The yellow sentinels held sway over the element of earth. The legion of red sentinels could bend fire to their will. The green were so connected with the natural world that it is said they could command flora and fauna to aid them. Yet all of these sentinels were no more than living armor. They could not truly be called alive. Together, these magical armies were able to thwart the plans of the evil one. However, when they had finally seized victory, they all ceased to function. Only in the presence of great magic could these entities operate. With the defeat of the dark lord, the wizard vanished. It was as if he had never existed. No one would even recall the tale of this keeper of Feldren, were it not for the fields where thousands of sentinels lay, their armor broken and gone to rust. Legend has it, however, that the wizard left one sentinel behind, should evil ever seek to oppress the realm again. Myths of this sentinel, black as night, imbued with every magic the wizard knew, and the bright soul of a powerful lord, are told every year at festivals honoring the wizard and the sacrifice of all who had fallen. Wise men, kings, shamans and elders all say that if evil should ever threaten Feldren again, this sentinel would be found.

"When evil returns, he will live. He will come to us to lead us unto salvation." - So say men.

"When at last he finds his heart, the lord of Feldren will rise." - So say the elves.​

"When the northern jewel shines in the south, the black knight will awaken." - So say the dwarves.

"When the lord and his bride are united, this world will know peace." - So say the lupine.​

The prophecies are true!
He slumbers.
Find him.

This story is for a male x female pair. There will be strong fantasy themes, violence and gore (maybe), and at some point, romance will become integral to the story. I will play the role of the sentinel and various side characters that pertain to the story. I would like for you to play a female sorceress of your choosing. She is yours to create as you wish. She will be whatever you want her to be and be central to the story and the prophecy of the last sentinel. If you wish, you may play additional side-characters of any race that may or may not participate directly in the quest. You have complete co-creation control with me on everything besides what is written here on this post. As always, send a private message if you are interested in discussing this story with me further, or participating in a game with me.

The Wizard's Workshop

I will be placing my original story ideas here for your consideration. All pairings are going to be male x female. Send a private message to contact me regarding anything seen here, and I will get back to you as quickly as I am able to to discuss it with you.

A wizard is never late...

Nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to. And here he is. Call me the Wizard. I'm a 35 year old man living in Appalachia where the wild things are. My favorite things are heavy metal, but I like more than just that, singing, art, nature, my dogs, and studying. I've been studying religion, mythology and philosophy for years. I'm as passionate about that as I am singing. I've recorded some music with local bands and friends. Anyway... I also enjoy world building, writing and sharing my imagination with others. I haven't role played in nearly a decade, but I am ready to jump back into it. Please continue for a little bit about my interests and what you can expect.

I am literate. I write a lot. I like when you write a lot. I think we should probably write a lot. High fantasy is my absolute favorite setting. That doesn't mean I won't do other things. I really enjoy an imaginative story with interesting characters, and I will do what it takes to please you. Count on that. I'm wildly interested in werewolves, or just wolves in general. Knights, paladins, dragons, elves and fairies, demons and dark lords, enchanted accessories and whatever else you can imagine. I've got loads of ideas filed away in my mind from years ago, and I'd love to see some of those become really engaging games while I'm here.

I am looking to role play with an intelligent, literate and imaginative female around my own age. I am very mellow and easy to get along with, and also enjoy OOC chatter. I work long hours, and frequently, but I'm never going to be too busy for you. If you respect me, I'll respect you, and if we can make time for each other, that's great. I work overnight shifts, so I may be an ideal partner for someone on the opposite side of the world, or just another night owl like me. I'm happy to befriend you and lend an ear if you just need someone to talk to. Honesty, respect and kindness are what I'm all about. I can't wait to meet some of you and get to know you, as well as get involved in some co-creation with you. Don't be afraid to approach me to discuss stories, or even just to chat. I welcome all of you.

Please feel free to send private messages! Still learning to navigate this site. Can't wait to hear from you!

Sincerely,
The Wizard
