Gathering of the Figments

ShadowFang · Posted: Wed Nov 21, 2007 1:39 pm Post subject: Just Another Awesome RolePlay

Righteo! Here's the setting and such and stuff, and this is ALL off the top of my head, seeing asLex wants to RolePlay SOOOOO bad and doesn't have any ideas! *angry glares in Lex's direction*

Setting is world Arcane, a world covered with vast forests, enormous mountains, a scorching desert, rivers, waterfalls, the whole shabang! No specific geography, which means you can create different places if you like. There is also a modern-world setting, which is acssesssed (however you spell it) in various ways by various characters. Think of it as your hometown! Character layout specifics: You must have some type of difference that sets you apart from a normal human being. Be it a magical ability, ability to transform into different creatures etc. We all have our favorites, so just create the ultimate character and go with it. Story: The wolf tribe of the northern river and the dragon tribe of the western mountains have been feuding for decades, and war is close at hand, with the entire world caught up in the turmoil. What's worse, the commanders of the two armies are brothers, and sworn enemies. This is all based off of my story/book/whatever you want to call it right now as I have the entire idea for it all, I just need to get it typed up. The story is called Wolfsong, it'll probably be up on the site by next year. Hooray! Syrus's character actually stuck in somewhere! He got to be so deep of a character I had to put him in the book. Oh and Lex, I know..."Why haven't I read it yet?!?" Because it's not done yet silly! So anyways, let's go! Also, character deaths and such. If you create a side-character of your own, you can kill them. You cannot kill other players characters. You can, however, in the inconvience of their absence, come up with a clever excuse for said absence. Now, on with my character!

Name: Faryn
Gender: Female
Age: 14
Descrip.: She is about 5'5'', with straight blonde hair with aquamarine streaks down to her waist. Clear blue eyes. Is currently wearing a spaghetti strap white tanktop with a blue low-cut shirt over it, faded blue jeans with small holes and tears throughout, black combat boots, black/blue camoflauge fingerless gloves.
Background: Will be described over time.
Perspective in RP: 1st-Person
FIRST POST STARTS BELOW!

I sighed and chewed the end of my pencil. Stupid Algebra. Why did we have to take a test? After what seemed like an eternity, I turned in my test, with hopes for maybe a C+ at highest for a grade. Leaning back in my chair, I waited for class to end. Suddenly the overhead window opened, and a figure jumped down into the room.
I know what you're thinking. Big commotion, lockdown, people freaking out. No. Since this had been going on for two years, everyone was used to it.
"Hey Syrus." I muttered nonchalantly.
The rest of the class murmured greetings. The teacher sipped his coffee. Syrus looked tense and uptight. And he apparently didn't like this relaxed attitude.
"Just "Hey?" Faryn, we gotta go. The base camp's under attack, we have to leave...now!"
I glanced up, now interested.
"Under attack? By who? What?"
He shook his head and grabbed my arm, pulling me out of my chair and across the room.
"I'll explain when we get there. Sir, I expect, seeing as this is an emergency, she's excused?"
The teacher nodded, saying "Yeah, just get outta here, we're taking a test."
So we were out the door, out of school, and through a portal, summoned by Syrus. And off to Arcane. To fight off invaders.

Ooc: Well, there's my first post! Let's get this up and running!

OOC: Well I've never done RPing this way (I did it the good ol' fashioned way with sticks and running around back in the day; I miss childhood. I mean like 4th grade childhood) so I'm not too sure about much. I assume I can start off in Arcane. Also I hope I can make a bunch of references to gods and explain them "ooc" since I love having complex mythologies driving my characters. Very Happy

If I do something that you think is "inappropriate" just tell me and I'll remedy it somehow. And do I have to be human?

Name: Gaelar
Gender: Male
Age: 35
Description: I'll fill this part out next post after I get some questions answered so I don't do anything unapproved of. Do I have to be human? Or even humanoid ie can I be a wolf or a dragon or maybe even a Fuwr (essentially can I make up a race)? Also is the modern world common knowledge in Arcane? If it's not do I have to know about it? Do I worry about these things too much? Very Happy

Background: I like keeping this hidden for two reasons, one I don't know it myself and I develop it over time, two character development.
Perspective in RP: 1st Person
MY FIRST POST!

I sat there sharpening my dagger, each ring bringing pleasure to my ears. The full moon rose over me and illuminated the field that spread out before me. Soon it would be time.

~~~
OOC: There that's vague enough that no matter what the answers are I can keep going.

Okay GD: Yes, you can do all that! Lol. Yeah, it's pretty relaxed on the rules and stuff, just like, no god-moding...I hate god-moding...NO, you don't have to be human, I would much prefer you WEREN'T! Right...any more questions you can ask away...but now I shall continue my posting!~~~~~~~~

"Damn it, why do you have to do that, just drag me out of class like that? You're lucky I finished my test or I'd kick your ass, Syrus!" I muttered while suiting up in armor and getting my sword down from the wall. All the while he shook his head, his silver hair gleaming in the moonlight. The 19-year old warlord was very harsh and demanding at times, but usually he was relaxed and liked to fool around. As I lined up with the rest of the troops, all of them horse-sized wolves with IQ's higher than most humans and tempers of bulls, I wondered if we'd make it through this. I sighed as we prepared to charge forward into the oncoming attackers, a dragon raid pillaging the camp and setting tents alight with their acid-stained flames.

Time to finish that description then.

Description: Gaelar is a Wulren, a race similar to the mythological werewolf. They are always in wolf form however. They are the size of your average human, but are shunned by the wolf tribe on account of their differences. They are very shamanistic and worship many gods, the primary among them Jurak. He is covered with dark black fur, and his eyes are a bright gold. With a height of 5" 7', he is tall for his people.
Into the story:
~~~

I grabbed my amulet letting its warmth travel through my fingers. Tonight would decide the fate of my people. Tonight I would become an exile. A blackness covered the stars, and I looked up to see legions of dragons flying over me. I ran. Fires sprung up in nearby Wolven camps. I ran. I heard the sounds of battle ahead and I extended my claws. I ran. The battle rose up before me, a massive tangle of wolves and dragons. Tonight I would fight.

~~~
Edit: I forgot a physical description didn't I. Razz

Ooc: AHHH! GD, so dramatic! Yay!And if I'm correct, Lex should be posting as we speak! Right, well, weee!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fire blazed up in front of us. I jumped back as a dragon's mighty tail lashed inches from me. Moving swiftly, I counted them. Only about 10 or 12, but still a powerful group. I lashed out with my sword and severed a foot of one of the lizards. Thinking to myself, I sighed inwardly. Regular teenager one minute, fighting for my life the next. And they say normal puberty is tough. I smiled as I stabbed a dragon deep through the chest.

OOC: Oh, just you wait. Very Happy

~~~~
I leaped into the battle. Claws flailing wildly, daggers piercing skin, teeth ripping flesh. A horn blew announcing to the Wolven army that they had been attacked from behind. I ran back into the shadows, moving to attack again.

Ooc: Okay...where the hell is Lex? Seriously! Stupid AnbuGrl8u...you said you'd post! Right on the phone! You're like "I'm posting right now, I can't talk and type at the same time blahblahblah!" Well PFFFFFFFFFFFFT!

"Sh*t, we're surrounded!" muttered Urukai, to my left. The great shaggy wolf was one of my best friends here, had helped me learn the ropes when I was new. In battle we were a deadly force together. I turned and saw that he was right. Apparently the dragons had friends. Syrus was looking around wildly for an escape, finding none, I could see him curse and jog over to where I was. He beckoned me closer so he could tell me something. His voice was steady through all the chaos as he spoke in my ear.
"Faryn, this doesn't look good...I think we might have to surrender."
I looked at him like he was crazy.
"Syrus are you kidding? Surrender? After all that crap you tell me about never giving up and stuff? No way. We're fighting till the end."
He sighed and growled in one breath, which I'm sure is a hard thing to do, and glared at me.
"Look, I don't think you understand the situation here, we're---hey...Faryn...Faryn, are you okay?!?"
When I heard the first 9 words, an uncontrollable feeling of fear gripped me, and I fell unconcious to the ground.

Blood dripped down my lips, wounds covered my body, but I could smell victory. I bore down on two wolves and ran off again. Again and again I attacked. Short swift bursts. Attack. Run. Attack. Run. If I kept it short, I might survive the night. I heard a growl behind me. Maybe I wouldn't.

OOC: Perfect, I'm in Very Happy

Name: Dalyr
Gender: Male
Age: 42
Description: Dalyr is a low ranking member of the dragon army, and he is still exceptionaly young given the longevity of the dragon race. He is also quite small for his age, and his deep red scales glimmer with an ethereal light.
Background: Often described as reckless. More will be revealed as time goes on.
Perspective in RP: 1st-Person

I trimmed my wings and descended down on the Wolven encampment, with its garrison of a couple of human leaders. Pitiful humans, they had little right to lead such an army, the wolves were far more cunning, far more dangerous to a dragon. But still they persisted in the humans. Curious behaviour, but that was all the time I had to think about the matter as the battle raged into full flight around me.
As I swooped by a human, I lashed out with my tail, but they were alerty to the danger and sprang out of the way. I hear a terrible shriek from behind me and saw Sylanir, a majestic golden dragon bleeding profusely from the severed stump where her forefoot had been.
Rage filled my head and I roared out my challenge to the human and doubled back on myself, flames lciking the edge of my outstretched mouth.

OOC: Damn it, you guys were too fast for me...

OOC: WOO! 42! Nice age.
~~~~

I leapt sideways as the small detachment of wolves lunged forward. I knew I could not survive an attack from five wolves. I charged and sprang out of the way, only to get a massive clawed hand slammed into my chest. Pain erupted, blinding me. I growled as a light engulfed me. A whispered voice filled my ears, "Gaelar." A single tear rolled down my cheeks.

Name: Rawl
Gender: Male
Age: 21
Description: ((Does everyone need to be human/wolf/dragon? Because I want to be a big cat LOL)) Tall druid type man who shape-shifts into a snow leopard. Both forms of Rawl have emerald green eyes.
Background: Rawl is part of a small band of druids which live in seclusion.... That is until now =D
Perspective: 3rd Person.

------

Rawl was in his cat form crouched where he had a good view of the battle which ensued below. Normally his race would not enter into the wolf/dragon affairs but the constant battles were having a negative affect on nature: owls were eating eagles and trees were dying with no apparent cause.
It was time for the druids to interfere, something which had not happened in a long time: too long.
Rawl let out a deafening cry and several large cats followed him as he clambered down the hill.

Her parents were very religious, or so she had been told, by her teacher, Brunko. A wise old man who had disappeared just years before she completed her training in archery. Etruria had set out to find him and fulfill her training. That is, until she finds herself in the midst of a war.

Ooc: Wow, I get back from piano practice and a whole buncha people join! Hooray!

I stirred slowly, testing my limbs to see if any of them had gotten sliced off in the battle. I was lucky. A guard team had been set up surrounding me. Sometimes I felt embarassed to be regarded so highly among these intelligent beings. As I woke, Spearclaw, a General, turned to me.
"Miss Faryn, you're awake. What happened?"
I groaned, trying to keep the awful memories from returning.
"Spearclaw, please. Don't call me Miss Faryn. Faryn's fine. Alright? And I don't know...just blacked out all of a sudden." I lied. He could tell I was lying because I was blushing madly. But he shrugged it off because there was a battle raging around us.
"The battle's dying down some...the attackers are fighting simply to avoid getting killed more than they're fighting for blood. If that makes sense." he said in an unsure tone. Spearclaw wasn't too good with words. I grimaced as I stood up, head pounding, and went to intercept a swooping dragon.

I wandered in the white light. Trapped in this realm. Was I dead? Sometimes I thought I heard the whispered voice again. A burst of red flashed in the corner of my vision. I thought I smelled burning flesh.

Flames ripped from my mouth, a burning wall of fire erupting from the dried grass that littered the ground. The human who was my target had collapsed on my first pass, fortunately for her as my flame past over her. This time though I swooped down forom above. This time she would not be so lucky.
