Quest RP!

Chatterbox: Inkwell

Quest RP!

Quest RP!

In the land of Nekaria, there are six kingdoms: Greycoast (by the coast), Newland (the capitol, in the center), Silvervale (the plains), Goldford (the mountians), Wildcrystal (lakes), and Shadowpine, a deserted woodland shrouded by legends and mystery. 

 There are Creatures in Shadowpine, or so the stories go. The general pouplace try to convince themselves that they are just stories to scare the little children into behaving, but there is the fear, deep inside them all, that will not be swayed by logic. Then, two weeks before the big Holiday that celebrates Nekaria's forming, five children, all aged ten and a half, went missing without a trace. One from each kingdom—All except Shadowpine.  

The people are distraught. Who could have done it? Why? The kidnappers must be from Shadowpine. And the only things that live in Shadowpine... are the Creatures. Fearsome beings, humanoid in figure, but not in mind. They are a tribe built for war, with long, powerful forearms, and strong, loping legs. Faster than a horse, the people whisper. Wild and savage, they are.

The children must be returned, and fast. The Queen needs five brave volunteers, one from each kingdom, to journey to Shadowpine and find the children. They need to fight. They need to run. They need to be cunning. And they need to be willing to die for their mission.

Four members, not counting me, one charrie only, one character per kingdom. Please, no powers. Though this is a fantastical roleplay, I want the characters to be realistic. Their world is the thing that's magical. The starting scene will be the Queen picking volunteers to go. Don't join if you won't post. Here's the charrie sheet.

Name:

Age:  

Kingdom: 

Personality: (Make it unique!)

Appearance:  

Backstory:

Special Skill: (Each character should have one. Don't repeat! Example: Finding healing herbs.)

Fighting Skill Level: (1 through 10, 10 being "I can beat you with my hands tied behind my back" and 1 being, "What's a sword?")

Prefered Weapon:  

Here's my character. 

Name: Ashlyn Lemente 

Age: 15

Kingdom: Goldford

Personality: Ashlyn is fiercly loyal to those she is close to, but trusts almost nobody. A girl of spit and fire, she  doesn't want help from anyone. She always tries to do things on her own and has a hard time admitting she needs help. However, she is willing to work hard and defend her friends and family. Some people call her Ash. 

Appearance: Caramel colored hair chopped just below her ears. Ashlyn has piercing, ice-blue eyes and a slightly long nose. She is tall for her age. She has very tanned skin and long arms/legs.

Backstory: Ash lives with her father (a blacksmith) and brother, Tristan, in a secluded little cottage nestled into a cranny in a mountain. Her brother was one of the children taken, and this is part of the reason Ashlyn volunteers to go. Her father favors her brother and almost seems to forget that Ash exists. Her mother died when her brother was born.

Special Skill: Agility. She is a fast runner with lightning-quick reflexes.  

Fighting Skill Level: Five. Ash can fight fairly well, but prefers trickery or traps to get her enemy down.  

Preferred Weapon: If she has to fight, then she uses a spear that her father made for her.  

Yay! Hope you join!

Name: Oasis of the Black Sands

Age: I'll decide later

Kingdom: Used to live in Shadowpine, see more details below. Lives in Newland now.

Personality: (Make it unique!) Very smart, doesn't trust people easily. LOVES puns. A bit of a flirt, but not EXCESSIVELY.

Appearance:  Lithe, bleached white hair, (strangely enough) pale, deep green eyes.

Backstory:She was abandoned in an oasis full of black sand as a child. The monsters would not touch that oasis and she was safe for many years, but during a drought one year, she made a sword out of remolded black sand which turned out to be very hard. She barely managed to escape Shadowpine alive, but journeyed for many days and came to Newland, where she found a home in the library.  

Special Skill: (Each character should have one. Don't repeat! Example: Finding healing herbs.) SURVIVAL. She knows how to survive instinctually and has very fast wits.

Fighting Skill Level: (1 through 10, 10 being "I can beat you with my hands tied behind my back" and 1 being, "What's a sword?") 10.

Since already five people are here, can I be on the Dark Side or something? I just think it's an awesome idea.

I am all too aware of the fact this RP is filled up. I just wanted to add a note that while I understand wanting a small amount of people -- it is extremely annoying coming a bit too late and not being able to join because you're a bit late. I suppose there isn't any good solution to it.

I agree Indigo. 

I understand that there is a limit, but it is kinda small ;-;

I had a limit on my rp and blew it away! XD. We could always not be kidnapped, but be rescuers instead? If possible. If not it's good.

*I meant be the kids, not the hero's.

Yes. Also to the effect that it's nice to have a larger number of people as so the story just doesn't drop dead one day because people couldn't post. (Believe me, l've seen it a million times.) Some of the really long, 300+ post RPs that l've been in have about eight people and sometimes ten people. l believe they were successful not only because they were a good idea, but because they had a good amount of people who stuck with it.

People get busy and can't post, or drop out, or go away on a trip etc. The point is, to keep an RP up and running for several months, you need the people to back it up and keep posting.

Merely my thoughts. Carry on with thy lives.

I have been in roleplays with seemingly 2000000000 people and it is impossible to tell who is who and follow the plot. But you have a point. You could be the kids or the "bad guys" if you'd like.

@Leaf, Indigo, and Will: Leaf, that is a very good idea. I am horrible at denying people entry. If you would still like to join, you could be one of the people captured or on the "bad" side.  

But... that's all please. If you guys don't want to, others can take your spots.
