The Sea's Song

The Sea's Song

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. . .

Phew! Good. ^^

Name: Yukia (basically translates to snow in Japanese) Yamai

Age: 14

Birthdate: December 15

Gender: F

Height: Just about 5"5, almost 5"5 

Weight: 119 lbs

Appearance: Fair skin, but not deathly pale, and with an olive tint to it. She has several freckles scattered and sprayed across her nose and cheeks. She has higher cheekbones, and a small nose and small pink mouth. She has chocolate brown almond eyes, and although her other features are small, her eyes are on the bigger side. She has thin black eyebrows that are in proportion with the rest of her face.  She is slim and may look petite but is strong and is fairly athletic. She has glossy, completely black hair that goes down to her shoulder blades, or half of her back. The bottom half of her hair is completed in loose curls. 

Default expression: A pleasant expression- a small smile and slightly lifted eyebrows.

Personality: Curious. Very curious. She's very creative and imaginative, and always gets lost in her head. She's very smart and tends to overthink things. She is amazing at logic and can deduce things very quickly. Because she's curious, being brave and adventurous comes with it. She's quiet, but talks when talked to. She's likeable, but conceals her emotions at times to make sure no one can see that they get to her. She's an amazing lier (And that's partly because no one would ever expect her to lie), but she never lies unless she absolutely has to. Loves music.

Strengths: Intelligence, adventurousness, imagination, lying

Weaknesses: Overthinking things, lying, day dreaming

Greatest motivation: Music. She lifts herself up with music, she can acomplish many things through music. When she listens to music and thinks about it, it keeps her positive and remember to count her blessings. 

Greatest flaw: She is amazing at deducing things, but that also means she can deduce people and figure out things about them that they may not want her to know, sometimes causing her to lose friends or putting her in a dangerous position. So I guess it would be that sometimes she knows too much.

Greatest fear: Being alone and loosing everything.

One word to sum them up: Different 

Hogwarts house: Gryffindor/Ravenclaw

Social status: High class

Magic wielder: Yes. She can create illusions out of thin air. (Kind of like Loki/Doctor Strange, but not super powerful so it makes her OP) I don't know if an unnaturally high IQ counts.

Preferred weapon: She has a sharp aim, so a bow and arrow or throwing knives.

Password: Marshmellow fluff ^^

I like your character, but she's still a bit OP; I'm not sure if you read the note on magic, but the few who are able to have a very, very small slimmer of power. Also, please specify how she keeps her source!

submitted by @Killim , September

Okay, how about only small illusions? Like, she can make something appear and disappear? Also, what do you mean by source?

I think there was a post a little while ago entitled, "Y'ALL! IMPORTANT!" that explains a lot about magic. 

submitted by Jarvis, age ???

That sounds fine. And to your question, magic- wielders draw their power from a fragment of the source, which they usually keep on their person. I posted more about this in an earlier post; I think it's on the third page.

WE ARE NEARLY FULL! There are currently 12 charries posted, and two reservations by Applejaguar and KtG.

KtG withdrew her reservation, so we're waiting on Applejaguar. One more spot left!!!

I'm sorry. I'm not giving up on this. I'm starting the sheet today. Sorry to keep you all waiting. I don't really have an excuse, but I'm sorry. Actually, I'll post the first part of the sheet now. My charrie is based pretty heavily on someone I know, hope that's okay. It makes it easier for me to make all the traits fit together. 

Full Name: Sarah Vinogradova (Vinogradova is the name of the person who did the jacket design on the book I have in my lap right now... this is where I get my inspiration.)

Age: 14 (I'm younger than that, so excuse me if I don't write her age so accurately.)

Birthdate: August 14

Gender: Female

Height: 5 foot 1 (short)

Sorry it's not much. I'll finish later.

When do we start?

*cries* Ack! Why did I not join this before??? This RP looks AMAZING. I love how my thought goes into character development (something I think is sometimes overlooked in RPs), the very intricate world building, concept design of magic, and K just think this RP is generally headed in a good direction.

I know you said it might be already full.....if there's room may I please please join?

submitted by Owlgirl, hopeful
(June 24, 2017 - 8:21 am)

I was just about to post saying that if one person really, really wanted to join I might let them, soooo congratulations, Owlgirl, you're the lucky winner! The only thing though is that you'd have to make a male character, seeing that we already have a bunch of female characters, and you'd have to get your character in ASAP.

He'd also need to be able to do magic, since we kind of have an imbalance of magic-wielders and non-magic wielders.
