September’s (very late) CBversary RP!!
~~~
Cambria is a flourishing port city, full of life, laughter, and magic. For a city built from the ashes of a war only months ago, it is remarkable how much it’s grown and developed. And it’s also remarkable how quickly it’s grown, though no one questions the magic.
Your characters were children when the city rose. And they are barely grown when the city falls.
An inescapable darkness has risen. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, an idea unheeded by the founders of Cambria. Too much magic calls forth too much darkness. But what’s done is done, and their only hope now is to journey beyond the land across the perilous sea, in an attempt to save the people they have doomed.
The journey is not for the faint of heart.
The Lottery is the last thing they give you, a system enchanted to find the bravest, the strongest, the smartest, only the best to sail across the Deep and find salvation.
~~~~~
Rules and Information that you will NEED to know (PLEASE READ THEM ALL):
- There are 14 spots. Reservations are accepted, but you MUST post your charrie within a week of you reserving that spot or I’ll give it to someone else
- This will start after I have at least 7 characters
- I’d love a cast of both males and females, which brings up an important point
- CHARACTERS!!!! I would love if we had a ton of diversity, so I’m accepting literally anything, especially POC (People of Color) and LGBTQ+ (@ADMINS, sorry, just wanted to make sure you saw this if you’re not allowing this, please delete the part where it says LGBTQ+, so no one gets confused, thanks!!) NOTE: I will be looking over your characters and okaying them.
- The time period is a fantasy-medival, think Throne of Glass, Six of Crows, A Darker Shade of Magic, or if you have no idea what I’m talking about, just think of Pirates of the Caribbean or something in terms of clothing and technology
- NO OP CHARACTERS PLEASE, THANK YOU!
- Password: marshmallow fluff
- A note on magic: If you choose to give your characters magic, it does not mean that they can summon winds, control the ocean, or anything big like that. The magic in this world comes from a sort of stronghold thingy, so it can be mined, but not everyone is compatible with the magic, meaning that it is very picky and may possibly reject your character
- I might be a tad bit harsh on your character, but remember, it’ll help with your character building!
- Aaaaand I think that’s it, I hope you read it, and without further ado. . .

I've decided that my character's name will now be "Sara," not "Sarah." It's a small change but I like it a lot better. Sorry if this is annoying, I just wanted you guys to not be confused when I spell her name differently.

Alrighty, so this may be a bit late (actually, it's really late), but I just had an idea for the plot. . .
What if no one knows that the Choosing is going to happen? Or rather, what if no one knows that the Choosing exists? What if instead, the Choosing is a last resort sort of deal- something that only happens when the head mages are dead?
And what if. . . DUN DUN DUN
They're assassinated at the festival? And that's why the Choosing takes place there?
Sooo whaddya think? Do we want to go with that? Or does anyone else have another suggestion?
(July 25, 2017 - 5:44 pm)
I like that idea! (I still need to post my prologue, and I will today. I'm sorry it's so late '^^) But that idea sounds cool. I think if the Choosing is a last resort, it would give a reason for the Choosing to truly be there in the first place.
(July 26, 2017 - 7:28 am)
Coolio! Also, could you try to get your prologue in by Sunday? Thanks!!
(July 27, 2017 - 12:50 pm)
OH MY GOSH! I am sosososososoo sorry, I have been so busy. I was going to tell you that I was going to be gone, but then I didn't have any time to! ACK. I'm going to catch up on all of the reading, but are we still on the ten years before posting,.. or nah? Again, so sorry! I'll get more on top of things, life has just been so busy. But, if I am too late, does that mean I can't anymore? I'm totally cool with that, if that is the issue.
(July 27, 2017 - 1:52 pm)
Yup, we're still on the prologue! Don't worry about being late, I think this is one of those things where we're just taking it slow :)

Yukia's flashback~
~
When Cambria was at its happiest, I had been riding my white horse, Tio, that day, and I was 8 at the time. It was the day I didn't have to worry about the small, but detail oriented tasks I had. The maids did most of the chores. My parents had been successful that year. They owned a few Alpaca farms, two in different locations and one that was right by our house. Many paid a big price for their fur, so we were on the wealthier scale of the spectrum. My mother wanted to sell off our farm and move somewhere completely distant so we could control them from a distance; my father was found to have the opposite opinion. He wanted to keep our farm so that we could continue to tend for the Alpacas ourselves. While they were sorting that out, I was free to go to through the woods.
Holding on to the mane of my horse, he leapt through the trees and over a large trunk covering the ground. A small branch whiplashed against my cheek, and I felt a stinging pain and trickle of blood before it subsided (I still have that scar to this day). I beckoned Tio to go faster, and he did, eventually nearing a steep ledge. Rearing him back, he kicked his front legs out and moved to the side as I looked out towards the cliff, and beyond, towards the sea, longing to go out there and see what was beyond the horizon. Maybe more land to discover.
But I was drawn out of my thoughts when I heard the stamping hooves of a larger horse, and the gentle call of my older brother.
"Yukia," he said. "We have to head back. You shouldn't even be out this far."
I looked at him and immediately noticed his dampened hair and his horse, Lorin's, wet legs.
"And you shouldn't have been out towards the sea shore."
He groaned and rolled his eyes. "You've got me. Happy? Now let's go." Then his eyes widened. "What did you do to your face?"
I touched it. "Oh. A branch. It should be dry now. The blood, that is."
"Mother won't approve," he said.
"Zon, when did I ever care for mother's approval?"
"Yukia," he started again, ignoring my question. "Come. Let us head back."
I sigh and usher Tio to follow my brother who already galloped away.
When we arrived back home, my oldest brother Bregon was already there. Whenever I bickered with Zon, he would always be there to break us up. My older sister, who is in between Zon and Bregon, Talia, would ignore it. It was always like this: Zon the Mischievous, Talia the Brave, and Bregon the wise. But none of the village or family could ever put their finger on me. I was just "Yukia, with her head in the clouds," or "Yukia, too smart for her own good." Although Cambria was happy and fun at that time, I was still to make others happy.
But the memories made during the bright days where never to be forgotten.

Should we move on to the actual Choosing? I feel like this thread just needs something to happen.
