Chatterbox: Inkwell

Danger in the Night

Aster’s feet pounded on the tall grass, running. She glanced behind her, and darted behind a tree. A lone rider on a pearl-white horse came galloping past her. The rider was cloaked in a glowing white hood. Swirling floral patterns covered the cloak. “Angela.”

The rider turned around to reveal a stunningly beautiful face, with luscious black hair, and an innocent expression. Well . . . except the eyes. The eyes were blank white. “Angela!” came the voice again.

This time, a hooded figure cloaked all in night-black on a pure black horse cantered up to the white woman. “Shut up, Devi. She could be here,” Angela hissed.

The figure in black glanced over her shoulder, giving Aster a fleeting look of her face. The face was identical to Angela’s except with crimson hair, and deep black eyes. The two women scanned the forest, their blank eyes passing right over Aster. “Nothing,” Devi finally said.

“Come on, let’s go. I hate field missions,” Angela muttered. “What was the lord thinking, employing the samouraï to do the refined work?”

Aster didn’t dare to breath until the two riders had disappeared over the crest of the hill. Then, she let out a sigh of relief.

Aster peeked out from behind the tree, and came out onto the smooth dirt path. The white-gold sunlight that was peculiar to the Minonne Region filtered through the leafs, creating a dappled pattern on the forest floor.

Aster tugged her long pink-streaked-black hair. She fingered a violet amulet with the insignia of a squirrel brushed on it.

“It’s beginning again,” she whispered.

Hello everyone! I’m starting a solo write! So . . . you probably know the drill. Fill out the sheet, and wait for me to start writing. I will take three main characters, 10 supports, and an unlimited number of background characters, first come first serve.

So . . . what’s this all about, you ask? Well, the main plot is three people from a couple of different kingdoms meet. The kingdoms are the following:

Minonne - It’s a cute, fairy-tale kingdom. It’s ruled by a council of seven elves, and is mainly populated by elves also. Ideal landlocked tourist destination because of its nice weather and inland scenery

Astere - It’s a nice, middle-class place. Mostly suburbs with the capital city of Columbine. Government is much like modern day U.S.A. Landlocked and inhabited by humanoids - dwarves, elves, kitsune, humans, just creatures that resemble humans in general. It has much of today’s technology.

Dove - It’s a renegade country run by a dictator. Most people there are trained in some degree of fighting. The dictator has power over a powerful army, and a small group of 20 - 50 “rangers” who are basically elite fighters.

Mist - An artistic region resembling ancient Japan, Greece, and Rome all in one. It does not have a powerful defense system, but many people are skilled in martial arts. The weather there is always cold, and it rains a lot. Ruled by an emperor.

So, there’s some background info. If you want to join, fill out the character sheet.

Age (if you are a main, preferably between 10 and 16): 15

Appearance: Cleo has white-blonde hair, tan skin, and gray-blue eyes. She has a short, stocky build.

Kingdom: Astere

MC, supporting, or background: MC or supporting, either one's fine.

Personality: Cleo is an ambivert. She can be quiet and distant at times, but she's usually cheerful and upbeat. She's easily worried and hates being left alone.

Name: Catrina Calvera, but she's know as 'the Skull'

Age(if you are a main, preferably between 10 and 16): 17

Appearance: She's albino, so bone white skin, white hair, and pinkish eyes. Her hair is short and raggedy, and she dresses in black military-style clothing. She's mute, but her hearing, eyesight, and olfactory functions are pristine.

Kingdom: Dove, and she's a ranger and assasin who works for the dictator

MC, supporting, or background: Supporting, because the main are already reserved, although I wanted her to be a main.

Personality: The only life she's ever known has been to serve the dictator, and she's been brainwashed. She's loyal, and she's very slow to even remotely trust someone. Because of her artistic heritage (see below), she is very creative, but that has been suppressed by the dictator's assasin-grooming. 

Hobbies: nope. All her time is spent training or on missions.

Other: She comes from a long line of extremely creative, artistic people from Mist, but when she was young (like 6/7/8ish) her parents abandoned her because a famine left too many mouths and not enough food, and the dictator of Dove found her while he/she/they was marching to attack Mist while it was weak. The dictator had her raised in luxury, but all the while training her to be a deadly weapon loyal only to him.

Also, I was thinking maybe during the course of the story she slowly turns back into a decent person from being with decent people, and maybe falling in love, but she could totally be evil and just always evil, too. Your choice, it's your story.

Name: Aviera (Ah-vee-air-rah) Wan

Age(if you are a main, preferably between 10 and 16): 14

Appearance: A mix between Greek and Japanese. Jet black hair and Asian facial features. Tan skin and short stature. Hazel eyes.

Kingdom: Mist

MC, supporting, or background: Any really. Whatever is open, and what you think will be best for the plot.

Personality: A temper shorter than her stature. Often speaks or acts before she thinks. Has little care for patience unless it’s with her Pipa(look it up). Has a hard time learning. In terms of expressing herself she’s better at speaking than writing, but she is always self conscious(she often hides this by making rude comments).

Hobbies: Playing the pipa. Perfecting her Aikido(a martial art style).

Other: Nope.

Personality: Loose, gets bored easily, does stuff sporadically, extroverted, sort of ADHD (gets distracted easily, etc.)

Hobbies: Works as an acrobat, likes to draw.

Other: Wants to leave Minonne and see the world. Basically my D&D character because I didn’t want to have to come up with another OC.

Actually, could Leeli and Aspen post their charrie sheets sometime soon for the mains? Quirker is my other main. I'll start as soon as they have the sheets.

Name: Zora

Age: 15, 16 in 2 months

Appearance: Long, straight, dark brown hair with about the last quarter fading into pure silver, jagged diagonal bangs that also fade into silver and tend to get into her eyes, unusually pale complexion, somewhat almond-shaped, keen brown eyes, almost always wears all black.

Kingdom: Dove

Role: MC

Personality: Very introverted, not wordy by any stretch of the imagination, and rarely speaks more than a sentence at a time unless she has to. Comes across as prickly, a bit surly, and capricious in her moods. Extremely observant and clever, quick-thinking, has HUGE trust issues, and can be reckless when brave. Like Hermione hesitantly suggests to Harry in The Order of the Phoenix that he has "... A saving people thing", Zora is the same way.

Hobbies: Archery, reading any novels she can get her hands on

Other: Always carries a bow and arrows with her. Zora grew up an orphan, fending for herself. She has to take whatever job she can, especially since she is a werewolf and considered dangerous although she takes medicine at the full moon so that when she transforms she is harmless and in full control of her mind and actions.
