You live in

Chatterbox: Inkwell

You live in

You live in a land that is divided in two. The eastern side is a hot barren desert, where the temperature never dips below a sweltering 85 degrees Fahrenheit (except for during some nights, where it can drop to 70 or rarely 65, which is still very warm compared to most deserts at night). The people there have never seen snow, hail, sleet, or any rain that is harder than a quick five minute downpour or a light shower. 

The western side is the exact opposite. Snow falls constantly, never seeming to end for about 3/4 of the year. This period of time is called "The Storm." The other 1/4 of the year is called "Summer," and it is the time when some snow melts, and the occasional blade of lush green grass dares to poke itself through the many layers of powder that blanket the soggy ground. The temperature during this season never rises to anything above 40 degrees Fahrenheit, but it is still a season of miracles to the western people. They have a huge festival at the start of the season, and another one when the first snow falls, and "Summer" is officially over. The people on the western side have never seen a perfectly clear blue sky, or seen more than a few inches of uncovered ground at one time.

One night, the two sides mysteriously switch. When people wake up, they are greeted with weather that they have never seen before, but only heard in legends that they assumed to be myths. A huge blizzard slams into the eastern side, and a heat wave turns the western side into an enormous puddle. No one knows how to live in their new environments, and something will have to be done that has never been done before. The two sides will have to work together. Only those who work together will survive this brutal swap.

------------------------------------------

Anyway, I hope you guys like my idea! Anyone can join, and there's a maximum of 2 charries per person. When I think enough people have joined, I will start, but if anyone wants to join right after we start, they still can. Our charries will be the people who team up with each other to help everyone survive in case you couldn't tell. Here's the charrie sheet, I'll post my charries soon. :

*There will be adults and the occasional younger child helping too, but I want our charries to be within this age range.

Name: Ashes Nightingale
Age (10-16)*: 15
Original side (Eastern or Western): Eastern
Appearance: See picture, minus the crown and with human ears.
Personality: Outspoken and honourable. Gracious, decisive and selfless, devious. Further developed in the story.
Other: It would be really cool if someone from the western side was named Snow and they ended up being the person Ashes ends up working with. I have an interesting idea to use their names in a poem or something using their names.

This seems like a very good idea, and this RP has lots of potential, but I am absolutely terrible at sticking to RPs. So I shall not join.

Also, top!

I reserve a spot! If it isn't already taken, I'll play the younger child.

TOP! I forgot about this for a few days, but I'm back, and even though we don't have too many charries, I think we should start now. I'll write the first bit in a little while. Please don't start writing until you see it.

If anyone else wants to join they still can!

@Mystery- Sure you can join, and if you want to make a younger charrie, you can. I originally wanted to have the charries be 10-16 years old, but since not many people have joined, you can make one that's younger. Just don't make him/her younger than 7 years old please.

Name: Aspen Kallia (double name) Izoz. Prefers to be called "Snow," but will tolerate "Aspen." If you call him Aspen Kallia, you should probably duck or find cover, and if you call him Aspen Kallia Izoz, you should probably flee for your life. 

Age: 15

Appearance: On the shorter side, short blonde hair, blue-green eyes the color of a murky winter pool, and a few scattered freckles. 

Personality: "Aspen's a good boy...really, I'm sure he means well," his family says about him every time he goes too close to the barriar between the lands, or breaks another bone (usually when jumping off the roof) or manages to cut up everything but the trees he's thwaking at with his father's rusty axe. The thing is... he likes thrills and new things. He feels like he has to be constantly entertained, either of his own design or at someone else's expense. He has a short attention span, is outgoing and usually positve, hardworking at schemes of his own design but mysteriously missing at chore time. Oh, and he is extremely impulsive.

Other: KESTREL KESTREL KESTREL!  I know Snow is only a nickname, but can he work together with Ashes? You know how our characters usually get along (*coughKeenandFermatacoughcough*)

Ahh, YES! That's perfect. And, of course, their personalities seem to make them perfect for each other. Also, it helps that their appearances are polar opposites. It really helps contribute to my idea, which might not be used until a few posts into the story.

How is it that you always make the perfect charrie to ship with mine??? :)
