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!

Sure, Esthelle, you may join! You may make up to 2 charries, as either a "bad guy" or a hostage. I suppose you could make a new questing character for Brookeria's spot since she has not posted, if you'd like. If you are a bad guy, you may have powers, but I would rather that the Questers not. Nobody else has powers, and if you wish to have them you must be in Shadowpine or, say, a loner.

Why can't you guys post about the meeting at the Capital?
(February 27, 2016 - 9:36 pm)
Alaric~
It is mid afternoon when the messenger and l reach the gates of the Capitol. It is fairly normal for a large city, people and animals bustling around whatever it is that they do, except there is a muttering in the air, a worried look on faces. The missing children. That is what is all on their minds.
l frown at this thought. Why are five children, of all of the kingdom, so important? l mean really, just five children. Why all of the fuss? There is something deeper in this, something more to it. Why all of this worry, over five children? The Queen wants to draw notice to Shadowpine, but why?
l go over the possiblies. To declare war on Shadowpine, to actaully get the children back, because somehow they are very important, and to somehow spy on Shadowpine? All of these are doubtful, but l can smell something fishy in this mission. You just don't make a big fuss over five missing children unless there is something else to it. Something bigger.
The only thing that they have really told us about this mission, is that we're supposed to rescue the children, not declare war on Shadowpine or to cause trouble.
Whatever it is, l am getting to the bottom of this.

Perfect!!! Now they can find out about Medea and Melantheia, and then Medea can reappear, and... Yay!!! Awesome post!

Okay, just a note, Brookeria joined this RP and she... kind of has never posted. So, I'm willing to give her character up for adoption unless she comes back. For now, I'm going to use her current charrie.
Ashlyn~
We arrive at the Capitol after scarcely an hour's journey. My heart is banging against my ribcage and a million butterflies are taking flight within my stomach. I feel like I'm going to throw up. My anxiety must show because Jorge says (a little too brightly),
"Ah, look, the other volunteers!" He calls out to the drover to lead the caravan over. I swing myself off the palfrey before she even stops moving. The four others are already there and I look over them with interest.
Two girl, two boys. And me. We stand there, looking at each other for a moment, unsure what do do. Everything suddenly becomes very real.
The first girl, the one with bleached-white hair and the disconcerting green eyes, sticks out her hand to me and says, "Oasis of the Black Sands."
"That's an odd name," I say before I can stop myself.
"What's yours?" she asks.
"Ashlyn." I answer, deciding that my first name is sufficent information for now.
"That's an odd name," Oasis of the Black Sands says with a wry grin.
I ignore her mockery and turn to the other three. "So, who're you all?"
The second girl has an eyepatch over her eye and says in a low, raspy voice, "Journey."
Another odd name, I think again, but this time I am wiser and swallow the words down.
"You can call me Hawk if you like that better," the eyepatch girl says.
The first boy steps forward to introduce himself, a big grin on his face. He seems perfectly at ease. Or perhaps he is just skilled at hiding anxiety. "I'm Godric, son of Lord Eadric of the Unicorn duchy."
"Not a noble..." I hear Journey mutter under her breath.
"Alaric," the final quester interrupts, looking a bit bored. His sharp crystal eyes bore into me and I wonder if he can see into my mind or something.
"Right then," I say, swinging my satchel over my shoulders. "Let's get this show on the road."

Hawk~
Okay....Do we have any idea of where we are going? No? What about supplies, weapons, water and food? No? Horses or other mode of transportation? No? A map at least, or some plan or goal? No? Alrighty! This will be fun, let's go!
In all seriousness, does anyone have any actual experiance with this sort of thing? As l look around, l am doubting this. l seem to be the oldest one here, everyone else is at least five years younger then me. Ashlyn gives us an expectant look, as if to say, "Well? What are you waiting for?"
"So just.....start walking?" Godric questions, uncertain. "This road lead to Shadowpine?" Alaric rolls his eyes.
"The genius has figured it out."
Godric gives him a glare.
"Yes," sighs Ashlyn. "We walk, l guess. Horses are in rare supply these days, and yes, this road leads in the general direction of Shadowpine."
"No one was given a map?" l ask. Everyone shakes their heads. Well that is strange. Not even a map. The less we know, the better or something? Why in the world would they not give us something as simple as a map? l already feel like this whole thing is going to crash and burn....badly.
l sigh and follow the others as we start towards the gate of the large city. l have a feeling that this is going to long and hard.

Abi, I would love to post, but I can't, because if I do Daeris is going to be harsh with Ladasha. LoL and I have had a spat, and I can't say anything to her without blowing up at her.

I feel bad for doing this, but I really don't want this RP to die. I'm building off Shadow Dragon's idea.
~The Queen~
I'm really worried for Nekaria. I just know that Medea and Melantheia are coming back! The five questers are my only hope of stopping them.
I need to know exactly what Medea and Melantheia are trying to do. Why did they take those five children? And will they try to take over Nekaria? I shudder at the thought.
I sent enough to stop them, but not enough so that everyone will know what's going on. I'm still reluctant for even five volunteers to know who those two witches are, but it's my only choice.
I stare out the castle window, watching the questers leave. I pray that they will succeed.
