chaotic good

A chaotic good character acts as his conscience directs him with little regard for what others expect of him. He makes his own way, but he's kind and benevolent. He believes in goodness and right but has little use for laws and regulations. He hates it when people try to intimidate others and tell them what to do. He follows his own moral compass, which, although good, may not agree with that of society.

Brief Biography (Life In Rivenspire):
Theo was born to the madam of a brothel. This doomed him to never be fully stable or normal. His mother never told him who his father was and never mentioned the guy. Theo grew up around the brothel seeing the men come and go. Some of the women adored him for being a child amongst the place he started to hate. The men seemed to treat the women like objects and there was no one strong enough to stop it. So, he worked on becoming stronger.

He obtained the nickname that branded him when he was 14. His strength was more then what a fourteen year old should have and he was able to drag a man known for being abusive to the women out of the brothel by the throat and tossed the guy outside, it is said that there was growling coming from theo and that his eyes were animalistic. After that, no man dared to mess with the women should theo deal with them.

It was around that time that his mother brought a new girl to the brothel. She took him off guard. The two ended up forging a friendship that allowed them both to get away from their normal brothel filled days.

@Jacobite; hey honey, you have no need to apologize at all, we all have those days... hell, there was a time when I couldn't write for close to around a whole month... it was horrible. Just take your time, honestly, I'm happy enough that you've gotten at least one of your character CS' up; this way when we do start, you won't be left out. The rest you're more than welcome to take your time on. :'3

Beyond the Storms

Hey guys..! Letting you know I'm working on a post today..!

◊ 𝔗𝔥𝔯𝔬𝔲𝔤𝔥 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔓𝔞𝔤𝔢𝔰 ◊ [ Fairy-Tale/ Disney Inspired Roleplay ]

@MiddleEarthRoze; hey hun, that's more than fine..! Real life always comes first; hands down..! And please don't worry, I try my best not to start my roleplays until each one of the roleplayers who have expressed interest has at least one character up that they can post with, this way no one is left out at the beginning. :'3

◊ 𝔗𝔥𝔯𝔬𝔲𝔤𝔥 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔓𝔞𝔤𝔢𝔰 ◊ [ Fairy-Tale/ Disney Inspired Roleplay ]

@Apokalipse

..have you read the OOC..?

No... no, apparently you haven't. Because if you did, you might have realized that I'm not actually as selfish as you're making me out to be; you might also have read that it was stated clearly at the beginning of the thread that, yes, there indeed are a hell of a lot of characters in this roleplay. This isn't a fact that I have hid, in fact, I have mentioned it several times; along with the fact that if you are not okay with this, then this roleplay is most likely not for you.

Over the last two years plus since I first opened this roleplay, the list of characters claimed have grown rather significantly, yes; but if you haven't noticed yet, or it might be that you have chosen to ignore the fact, I haven't gone out of my way to keep someone from making the character/s that they want to make. For example, I didn't have to give up Mulan... but I did. I could have played the bitch, and I could have kept her all to myself; but instead I didn't. I jumped at the chance to make someone happy and inclusive by giving them the character they absolutely love more than any other character- that's what I'm all about. Hell, I even jumped to give away Megara once someone had asked about her. To be honest with you; my character list for this roleplay is exceedingly high- I culled it down a lot for this reboot, and I have been doing it again (still) as I go along. Something I mentioned in one of my earlier wall-of-texts; ask roleplayers about their characters..! Ask them; express your interest in them- about any of them..! Because I can tell you now, nine times out of ten, you might be pleasantly surprised with the outcome.

As my Co-GM mentioned, we don't just claim characters for the hell of taking them... that's stupid, and childish... and right here, right now, I will name the exact reasons that I have as many as I do:

• People have left the roleplay, whether due to real-life issues, plain disappearing, being asked to leave, having thrown one of the biggest temper tantrums I've seen and making a bigger fuss out of something that they shouldn't, etc. A good portion of the time (depending on how early this is in the roleplay/ situation), this can be passed over, but there are times when it cannot. In those times, one of the remaining roleplayers will step up and take control of that character; majority of the time, that responsibility is left up to both me, and to @YoshiSkittlez. Example of this across the four of us: Merlin, Yen Sid, Ariel, Peter Pan, Simba, Tinker Bell, Red Riding Hood, Edmund Pevensie, Ratcliffe, Beast, Glinda, and more.
• Someone has made a character (mostly in Rivenspire) who is from something or has something happen to them that sets them apart from the rest of the group. This sometimes sets characters up for isolation, leaving them with no interaction with any of the other characters that are in the roleplay. Unless there is a plan to have that character meet with another quickly in the roleplay, or for them to travel to a place more populated with other characters that they can interact with; this leaves the roleplayer doing nothing but solo posts. This roleplay is based around the interactions that your characters have with the others, so yes, in dire cases, I have made characters in order for this to happen. Example of this across the four of us: Sandman, Pocahontas, Simba, Audrey, Gaston, Kocoum, Glinda, Flounder, Gil, Wizard of Oz, Aslan, Caspian, and more.
• Heroes come back; the villains fall. They all lived happily ever after... but do you really want it to be the end..? Sometimes for the sake of introducing new story archs, or for the progression of the current story arch, new characters need to be introduced. Especially in this roleplay. Sometimes this is know far in advance, and other times (due to circumstances) it could be something that is only realized a few moments before the roleplay gets to that stage. Not wanting this to stop us, and if no one else is wanting or willing to do so, it does sometimes force us to create characters in order for the story to progress. Example of this across the four of us: Lampwick, Hades, Persephone, Yen Sid, Merlin, Chernabog, Li Shang, Kocoum, Cassim, Elphaba, and more.

You say this roleplay is an easy one... well, I hate to burst your bubble; but it's not. This roleplay is complicated; the relationships and connections between the characters alone is something that would take me a long time to explain to you. If you're jumping back into the guild after so long of being gone; good for you, that's great, and I will happily sit here and work with you to make your time in this roleplay an enjoyable one. But please don't underestimate my roleplay... don't write it off as 'easy', and don't go around saying that my roleplayers, who are wonderful people and amazing writers don't deserve the characters they have, because I can tell you now that they do.

Don't tell me to write a "Once Upon A Time" fanfiction... this roleplay is not that show, and if you believe it is and that it is going to be that easy, then again, I'm sorry but I don't think this roleplay is for you. Once again, I have said numerous times that there are a lot of characters, I understand how daunting that is, and how it could be upsetting if a character you wish to play is on those lists; but that shouldn't stop you from asking. @YoshiSkittlez mentioned earlier that he is more than willing to give a good portion of his characters away to anyone who is willing to sit and talk with him about them- so approach him..! And not just him, but the rest of us as well..! Don't just sit here and complain in the OOC; that isn't going to solve anything. We have stated that we are more then happy to work with you all; to do our best to get you the characters that you want, and we've also demonstrated that as well.

There will be certain characters that we won't want to pass on... but the only reasons for that is either they are our favorite/s, or they are part of the original characters we wanted when we first began our journey in this roleplay. But as I said earlier; there is no harm in asking... and if you do, you will most likely be pleasantly surprised.

Now; to continue on my tradition of ending my long rambling posts on a better note, I present to you, Tony Stark.

@BlackPanther; there is already a little red character, though the big bad wolf has not yet been made x'3

◊ 𝔗𝔥𝔯𝔬𝔲𝔤𝔥 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔓𝔞𝔤𝔢𝔰 ◊ [ Fairy-Tale/ Disney Inspired Roleplay ]

@Jacobite, @Solo, @Sylph; okay, so I believe that I managed to get all the characters, both accepted and still-to-come (not including any next-gen characters thought up yet), into the two lists- though I'm more than sure that if I have forgotten anyone on any of the lists, I will be corrected, heh. Now... I do realize that there are a hell of a lot of characters listed; but with the fact that there are endless amounts of Disney and fairy-tale/ legend/ fable characters out there (not to mention Dreamworks, Pixar, etc.), we're basically only scratching at the surface..!

So here's what you've been waiting for..! The Lists..! Please note that if a character has been mixed with another, the character they are mixed with is listed beside them- if you are unsure who any of these characters are, or don't know them, it's all good. Feel free to ask me and I'll let you know..! :'D

HELLO AGAIN..!!! Okay, so for the next lot of lists (as they haven't been brought in yet/ are to come in during later archs), characters who are negotiable/ still a possibility to be taken are written beside the names so that you know which ones are still on offer to be taken..!

So that's it so far... I think... that took longer than expected. If I was wrong, or forgot anyone; please feel free to correct me or let me know. I hope that this was helpful @-@

Again; these lists don't include any of the next generation as we are quite a way from that point in the roleplay x'3

EDIT: @Jacobite; you just got the all clear for Naveen- there's one thing that you'll wanna know for him that's already written up in Odette's CS, and that's that they were betrothed to each other from her birth like she and Derek in her movie "The Swan Princess".

@Solo; I am so not getting any sleep tonight... just found out Cordon did a crosswalk version of the Lion King @-@;;

Haha; with you two..? Oh my god; why am I suddenly picturing the awesomeness that is Miguel and Tulio..?

Loll; anywhooo... as for Studio Ghibli; it will depend on the tale. I've found over some reboots that some characters work, but certain characters just don't work no matter how hard you try. For instance; characters from "Space Jam" and "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" are more or less out of the mix, same usually applies to classic characters such as Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Goofy, Pluto, Donald Duck, Pete, Max, Daisy Duck, Huey, Duey, and Luey, etc. I have nothing against them at all (believe me; you'd know it if I did -glares at one character more than any other-); they just don't tend to ever work out.
