The Fire of Mondre 

I've been thinking about this for some time, and I feel I should take on a solo write. 

The world has never been a been a perfect place - in fact, it was gruesome, heartbreaking, and cruel at times. Ever since the Elves encountered Asia in the 1800s, and Dwarves came out of hiding in 1650, the world faced change. Three races, Humans, Elves, and Dwarves, intermingled, new ethnicities were born, and discrimination raged. Slavery existed against mixed races for 200 years before the Americas and Great Britain put a stop to it at last. Now a new issue faces their races:

Who is to say they are free? And what made you a human?

With races mixed as they were, seldom was it a true full-human was found. Those who were found one of three fates: captured and sold into illegal experimentations unknown to the common population; defending the rights of the public; or part of the Elites, a group of pure-blooded Elves, Dwarves, and Humans, dedicated to ridding the world of mixed peoples.

The remainder of the world's population found themselves struggling against the current. If they lacked enough sufficient Human race blood, were they citizens? With every government ran by Elites, rules were becoming more and more strict. Some choose to fight back, but with no goal. That is unless you were fortunate enough to fight by other means.  

The lives of generations relied on the Elvish/Dwarf blood now deeply interwoven with that of Humans. If one strand was cut out, all the world would die.

Will you fight back and help define the term of "human" and "citizen"? Or will you join the Elites, power hungry and blinded by pursuits of "pure blood"?

Do remember, I might tweak a few things just to make it fit better. As for the character placing (main, secondary, etc.) will be read through, although I will make the announcements on who gets what on the 20th unless I reach the cap participants prior. These are the open positions:

Main Charries: 1-2 Elites, 2 Activists, and for the activists, 1 will be a girl, 1 will be a boy. I am especially on the lookout for one of them being a pure blood in Elf or Dwarf. You'll see why later, my friends.

Secondary Charries: 2-3 Elites, 2-3 Activists/Neutrals

Tertiary Charries: Up to 8? I will consider adding in more as the story progresses. Ohh, and to have one young Elite would be nice. You'll see why later!

Feel free to make up to 3 charries, but not all for the same position or gender! Charries close the 20th unless spots fill up before then.

Here is the charrie sheet:

Here is my Charrie:

 

Charrie Name: Zentra Stein

 

Age (please be 9-18, especially in the middle range. Elites should be adults, though): 16

 

Gender (I am comfortable with having trans/fluid genders too): Female 

 

Race (Human, Elf, Dwarf, or mix): Human/Elf mix

 

Ethnicity (even Elves and Dwarves have ethnicities based off of ancestry): Latina

 

Appearance: Tanned skin tone; dark brown, oval eyes filled with knowledge and love; a beautifully formed smile, teeth like pearls, yet often hidden behind closed lips; long, pointed ears from her Elvish decent; long, wavy dark brown, almost black, hair, reaching past half way down her back, a small braided strand that slips from behind her ear when not pulled back to form a half-crown; tall and slender, with long, flexible fingers, and small hands and feet; usual dark clothing, especially her favorite being a dark blue tank top and black skirt, reaching just above her knees with black sneakers or flats; a golden locket hugging her neck, with memory of her mother inside; and a scar running across the small of her back from a beating years ago.

 

Personality: Caring and compassionate, strong in her beliefs of equality and freedom for all races. Zentra is somewhat timid, yet a natural born leader when she lets it show. When joined with her two closest friends (the other two main charries), the best in her traits are brought out. After massive abuse as a child from the Elites, the death of her mother, and the kidnapping of her younger sister, her whole life has been one black cloud, leaving her to fight through occasional moments of depression, fear, and sorrow.

 

Backstory: Raised in a poor yet loving Human/Elven household, Zentra and her younger sister, Metri, received endless fountains of love. Their father was a hardworking, sweet man who spent hours a day slaving over the heat of an oven, pounding metal as a blacksmith. Their mother stayed at home, raising her children with a homeschooled education, delicate in all her doings. When Zentra was five, she would play near the market with a friend (boy main charrie), when Elites came by. Her friend was examining a piece of fruit, considering to buy for his sick mother, and Zentra was by his side. The Elite saw this action from "filthy mixed folks" and beat the children with a whip. Her friend was left bleeding from the back, and they both grew up with hidden scars - both emotional and physical. At age seven, Zentra woke up in the middle of the night to sobbing. Father had just returned home - working night shift - and their lives changed forever. Mother was dead from a sickness she had been battling. Along with that, Metri was gone, a single note from the government stating she had been taken and shall not be returned. Her father left two years later when he felt Zentra was old enough to live with her grandmother, in order to search for his missing daughter. Her life from there was nothing but blackness, facing the brutish ways of her grandma, and the loneliness of death and disappearance.

 

Bad Habits: Depression, sorrow, and fear hold her back from doing what is sometimes right, or for the best.

 

Favorite Activities: Spending time with her two closest friends (main charries), reading, writing, music, and poetry. Also enjoying nature to escape from her grandmother for hours at a time, and remembering her family before all was torn apart by war and violence.

 

Pet Peeves: Noise. Whenever numerous noises or loud noises are present, she often cowers up, covering her ears, and on occasions, crying. Part of it was due to sensory issues, another part because it reminded her the night her mother died and sister was stolen, a night filled with the cries of her father.

 

Desired Role (Main, Secondary, or Tertiary): Main (this one is already chosen)

 

Elite, Activist, or Neutral (remember, Elites can only be pure-blood, Neutral/Activist can be either): Activist

 

Please note! I am looking for 1 boy main Activist and 1 girl main activist. Also, one of these please do be a pure blood Dwarf of Elf. Other than that, I don't really have any requirements. If there are more than one for a position that is taken, I will just have to choose. The final charries will be revealed the 20th unless spots fill sooner. Let's do this!

 

Admin, my last one the spacing got all scrunched together. In the preview it shows fine, though. So can we keep it all separate paragraphs like I have here without taking away the spacing? Thanks!
