Chatterbox: Inkwell

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!

I stare out the window. My mother is out putting spells around the prison, now that the Sisters and Daeris have brought them in. Daeris is so annoying!
Anyways, I'm supposed to mix a potion that will be given to the Creatures if rescuers come, to make the Creatures stronger. The potion is really boring and hard, though.
Mother tells me that children in Nekaria procrastinate, too. She says they might try to sway me to come to their side, but I have to be strong. She also taught me about the strange thing called "love". Love is a powerful weapon. Love can be bad. She told me my Aunt Medea had been forced to marry someone whom she didn't want to. Love can also be good. Love is what made Mother follow Medea to Shadowpine. Mother sacrificed a lot for her sister.
She also says love can be used against me. If one of the rescuers that comes is male, I am to avoid him at all costs. She said she doesn't want to take any chances. With what, I have no idea. Isn't love something that is born? How can someone "fall" in love? The only time I have ever fell is when Mother taught me to fight without magic. She wouldn't explain, though.
I get up. I need to make a potion.

@Cron: Sure, you may! So, your charrie wouldn't be an official Quest-er, just help out ours? 

@LoL: Ooooh, I really like that post! I have a feeling that things are going to get exciting just about now.

Abigail,  did you mean Merenwe?  Because you already said I could join, plus I probably won't post until the questers get to the forest.

Thank you!!  I'm working on my charrie as we speak!  Is it alright if I make an older character?  I was thinking hed either be late 20s or middle aged, 60ish, depending on what comes to mind.  He'll be human, and probably have come from Goldford.  He may not be necessarily good or bad.

I pour the final ingredient, crushed magos-tree leaf, into the cauldron. I whisper a few words into the boiling liquid then plop down onto my chair, sighing. I really hope I did it right.
Just as I think that, the liquid starts to churn, swirling faster and faster. Is it supposed to? I jump up and stare down at the green liquid, worried.
KA-POP!
The potion I had worked so hard on explodes in my face, the leaf-colored fluid splashing into my eyes.
"I guess it wasn't right." I mutter to myself. The potion is sticky and warm on my face, sort of like the the summers Mother describes that happen in Nekaria. At my home, she controls the temperature, so I've never seen winter or summer. What is snow like?
As I set to work cleaning up the mess, my mother walks into the room.
"Are you done yet?" She sounds impatient.
"No, I messed up." I don't meet her eyes when I say this. She sighs.
"You know what, I'll make it. You can go see if the crystal ball cooperates. I want to see all the people that volunteered to come rescue our captives."
I walk out of the room, ashamed. My hair flies behind me like the tail flying behind a kite, which is nice, but it gets really annoying when I stop.
Anyways, I walk up the stairs to the crystal ball room. When I get in, I peer into the glowing sphere. I whisper, "I want to see all the volunteers from Nekaria." The orb's depths become cloudy, then they clear.
From Goldford, I watch a tall, short-haired teenager bravely raising her hand.
From Wildcrystal, a spikey-haired boy stepping forward.
From Silverplain, a creepy-looking woman with an eye patch and many scars taunting the rest of the crowd.
I don't see anything from Newland yet, but that doesn't matter.
Because...
From Greycoast, a duke's son, with the most beautiful brown hair, such a cute smile, and handsome eyes.
I can't stop staring at the boy from Greycoast. My eyes are glued to the ball.
He is so handsome!
I finally know what it means to "fall" in love. It means "fall" because I feel dizzy and faint, and I won't stop thinking about him, and I am no longer Ladasha. I am Ladasha, who belongs to this boy, this enemy, whom I must fight, but whom I am cursed to love.

Fiona ~ I wake up to find myself in a cage. A cell. I talk, think, or breath for a few awful seconds. Why aren't I at home? And what's happening. I scream loudly, hoping someone will help me, find me. Godric, Aidan, Mother, Father. Think about them. An unearthly shriek sounds from nearby. A boy about my age trots toward my cage. "Help me." I gasp.

He snarls at me, and then I see it. He's a creature. I scream again, backing up against the wall of my cage. I can barely hear someone yelling something. I quiet down to listen. "Ladasha Lilith Black, go get that prisoner to be quiet!" My breath catches in my throat. How will they do that? A girl with long black hair runs down the stairs. I whimper. What is she going to do? "Hyperion, stop scaring her for no reason." She snaps at the creature. "Hello." She says with a smile. "I'm Ladasha." I bite my lip. "I'm I'm Fiona. What am I doing here?" I burst out. Another girl with long black hair walks in. But she seems older.
"Mistress Ladasha, don't talk with the prisoner. Mistress Melantheia wouldn't be pleased." The girl says smugly. "You can't order me around Daeris!" Ladasha says fiercely.

Hey guys?  Do you have a place picked out for where the expedition starts?  Because if not, then I recommend that it should start at the capitol.

And I was wondering.....  could I make another character?  Possibly a prisoner? 

submitted by Cron
(February 10, 2016 - 9:00 pm)

Yes it's going to start at the Capitol.
