Epic Quest RPG!

 

 

To put it simply: I miss solo writes. But with Decepmyth? I couldn't keep it up. Kudos to Ruby (I almost typed RWBY lol) and his ski lodges. I don't know how he did it. So next, I tried GSD, which is working out pretty well. It's like half RP half solo write. This is going somewhere, I thought. I'm super busy and should be working on my novel, poetry, Governor's School application, or formatting for my poetry book, I thought. LET'S MAKE ANOTHER ONE AND IGNORE THE STUFF I HAVE pTO DO! I concluded. 

So...to businesss...

Your character doesn't know it, but they have a quest in their future. A quest to save the world from evils they didn't know existed...and perhaps the evils buried in themselves. 

I will stand as every obstical in your path. Every time things are going well, I will twist the story.

I will also stand as every kind act on your quest. When you are hopelessly lost, I am the one who opens their door to you.

I will be many characters that come and go.

When you have played out the latest story arc, I will enter in as narrarator to change things up a bit.  

With that in mind, who are you? You can be anyone; from any situation and any walk of life. You don't know what's coming.  

Please creat an original character to RP with. Please step out of the stereotypes and pick someone else. If your character is a kind and confident teenage girl who is ready for anything, you are probably need to add a special twist. 

Name:

Age:

Appearance:

Personality quirks: 

Skills:

Habits:

Backstory: 

Things that drive your character:  

Memories that have stuck with your character (can be in narrative format):

Moments, words, and/or people that have shaped your character:

Someone your character cares about in their life (can be another RPer or someone from your character or another character's backstory):

Someone your charater is jealous of (same rules apply):

 

As soon as we have about 3 characters, we can begin the quest. Characters can join at any time. For starters, here is a little opening...

Wet leaves stuck to the parking lot pavement in green and brown clumps. The wind was heavy and damp with passing rain, and clouds sagged towards the ground. It was not a good day to go hiking. And yet a constant wooden sign at the read, "Sweetgum berry trail. 4 miles." It was covered in leaves, blown down by the violent storm. The sign pointed towards a path where the thick curtain of trees parted. Further down the path, a young girl wearing a flowing pink shirt, tight jeans, and light-up pink tennis shoes was climbing the gentle incline of the trail purposely. But when the trail ended, the girl went on. Up, and up the gentle mountain, which got slightly steeper every few feet. The top was anticlimatic. Especially since a few warning signs and barricades warned lost hikers not to venture up so far. The girl looked over the edge at the slow decline below. She sat down, leaned against a tree, and waited. The sopping leaves rustled around her, forming foosteps. The girl didn't turn around. Someone leaned an elbow on the tree, raining bits of treebark down into the little girl's hair. She still didn't move. Not even when a low voice stated slowly. 

"Azalea. You aren't dead." 

~

And with that tantalizing and seemingly irelevant story segment, I will leave you to your character building. If you want to go big and add some crazy "MY CHARACTER IS THE BAD GUY" or "MY CHARACTER KNOWS THE SECRET" twist, go right ahead. I applaud you.

Oh yeah, and these two characters in the post above ^ will be important later.

And no, this isn't taking the place of GSD. I'll still post on that!  

SO WRITE, MY FRIENDS.

@Admins, somehow my last post didn't go through....

 

Feel free to submit it again if you like. But sometimes it takes several hours or more for a comment to be posted.

Silver~

We continue down the dark, winding passage, when suddenly it slopes up and begins to widen out until we find ourselves in an enormous chamber with blue and green glowing crystals adorning the high, arching stone walls. For some reason, my uneasy feeling increases. I can feel it from the others, too. Their apprehension prickles at my senses.  Why does it feel like someone is watching us? The dark passage at the other end of the cavern seems foreboding, almost like unfriendly eyes are watching us from its depths.

Then, slowly, a figure emerges from the shadows just as Emmalyn stifles a shriek.~ 

Dun dun dunnnnn! DRAMA!!! I really hope I wasn't too controlling, but I wanted to move the story along.

Did you read my last post?  Emmalyn is supposed to be behind everyone else.

Yes, I did. Sorry, did I make it sound like she wasn't?

Kind of.  I was going for Emmalyn being really behind everyone else and no one noticing she was gone, just because she didn't like talking to people she doesn't know well.

Violette~

Violette is about to try to talk to Silver, the odd silent girl, when Emmalyn shrieks- where is she? Violette spins, looking, and sees her far behind everyone else, holding all the pink slips of paper. And there is a person at Emmalyn's feet.

Everyone turns and runs back, shouts echoing through the cave. As they draw closer, they see that it is not a person, but a humanoid yellow-scaled reptile, knocked out. Whispers and questions float through the cave.

"What happened?" 

"What do we do?"

"Do you think it is hostile?"

Emmalyn explains in a quiet voice, so quite Violette has to strain her ears to hear.  "It just came running out from part of the wall that crumbled-it's in shadow, so we couldn't see it. And then a rock fell from the ceiling and hit it on the head."

Violette pauses, thinking. Can this odd ceature be trusted? Should she run away? Unbidden, a piece of her mother's advice comes to her. "When in doubt, be kind. It could save your life." She begins to speak, her voice  coming out as a dry, raspy croak at first.

"I- I think maybe we should take a chance. There are more of us than it. Maybe its friendly, and if not, well, we can overpower it." She says.

I hope I wasn't too controlling!

"...we can overpower it."
The world ssspins as I wake from unconsciousnessss. It's the voice from earlier. It sssoundss kind but...
"We can overpower it." That worriesss me.
I heard a step forward. I jump on my feet than pull out my ssspear.
"S-s-stay back." I yelled and that'ss when I sssaw them for the first time.
Humansss. thiss iss ssstrange, They were extinct.
Unless...
One of them steps forward. he seems to be the only adult here. this one I can handle, the one that scares me is the one with the black hair with the ponytail, he reeks of magic.
"Wait!" The girl with the tan sskin, the owner of the kind voice. "He seems scared!"
She put'ss her hand in front of the adult. Than turnss towardss me
"It's ok, we are not gonna hurt you... just put that down."
I put down my weapon, within reach.
She turnss to her companionsss. mouthsss something, than turns back to me.
"What's your name?"
"Ssstillo" I reply, sstill shaken.
The others seem to calm down. Looks like they ssshared the same feelingsss 
"Do you have any water?" I ask... Than the world turned black.

"Look, he's waking up!"

I cough asss the othersss are alerted to my awaking.

Part of me had hoped thisss wass real. The other hoped it was just a long nightmare....

"Here." The tan ssskin one wass holding a bottle. Water!

I quickly drank the contentss. Than noticed it became empty

"Sssorry... Uh?"

"I'm Violetee."

So I was introduced to the group. The adult wasss Derik. The magic one was Corvusss. We could tell we were making each other uncomfortable. The ssslightly grayed brown hair was Erisss.the Tall white blond was Isssadora. The chocolate gold haired one wasss Avalynn, and the one with the black hair and ssscar on her face... Ssshe never ssaid.... And the girl who ssscreamed about my appearance was Emmalyn.

"Sorry about that." Sshe apologized asss she shook my hand.

"Hey, I guessss for your kind, it issn't everyday you sssee a flavussdensss."

"What is it with you and saying the letter s like that?" Derik asssked me.

"What you mean?"

"You keep saying it like thissss" he hissses the last part.

"I don't know. It's an accent I gu- you guysss hear that?"

"I don't hear anything." Erisss iss looking around. The othersss ssshake their head.

I flick my tongue to tassste the air. Dark Magic... But familiar...

All of a sudden... A black fog filled the cave, then a dragon with black scalesss appeared.

"Who are you?" I asked, sspear in hand. The others armed themselvesss, or were frozen in fear.

"Tsk tsk tsk Stillo." The Dragon ssshakes her head "put down the spear. Is that how you say hi to an old friend?"

"Still, you know it?" Avalynn looksss ssstartled.

"No..." 

"This 'it' is a she!" The dragon angrily looks at her, then sssighs. "I gone by many names. Skull Dragon, Nightmare. But I've been most known as the Black Dragon... Still, where do you think your blessing came from? On your left arm."

I pull up the sleeve of my shirt. The tattoo looks like her.

"Yes that. Do you know what it does?"

"N-n-no..."

"You were my champion. The warrior I had choosen to get rid of those-"

"Ferreuscornu" not knowing where I got that word from.

"Yes, at least you have some memories in that head of yours!" She looksss very annoyed "do you remember why I gave you the After Draco FortCoo?"

"Uh..."

"Gosh those cursed punks!" Ssshe roared and more black sssmoke appeared. I am now feeling nervous now. The others are crushed in fear. "One blessing you have is you are more resistant to fear... I keep forgetting about that." She muttersss

She then bites her arm. Black blood dripping out.

"You boy! Corvus. Do you have a cup?"

"H-"

"Do you have a cup of any kind?" She boomed

"Y-yes"

"Bring it!"

Corvus gives her a cup from the top of a Thermos.

She catches the blood in it, then hands it to me.

"It's not the brew, but it will have to do, drink it."

"Isn't Black Dragon blood poisonous?"

"DRINK IT! YOU WILL BE FINE!"

I drank the blood. I felt sick for a couple of seconds, then fine afterward.

Imagesss flassh in my mind. Incomplete but enough to tell me why I'm here.

"I'm supposed to kill you now. Now that you know what you failed at. But I'm willing to give you another chance. If you prove worthy."

"W-w-what you mean?"

"This band of people from what I gathered is gonna be on a quest of sorts. Join them and succeed. And I will bring you back to finish the job. Regiving you the blessing."

She lookss at Violette

"And you."

"Y-y-yes?"

"Since you've shown kindness to my champion. You may ask one question. "

She then lookss at Corvusss.

"I have always liked wielders of dark magic, so I'll let you do the same."

She then looksss back to me.

"Do you remember now?"

"I came to you...." I recalled

A sssecond chance...
