Hi I'm Sam, I used to post a lot on here, and now I'm back. I thought for my first post back I'd start a medieval/fantasy rp.
There is a land called Peridot, where magic and myth are common. Running rampant in this land are knights, thieves, and adventurers, as well as monsters and mythical creatures.
The crown of the king of Peridot has been stolen, and the king poisoned, by a thief only known as Obsidian, who leads the Obsidian Gang, a gang of highly dangerous mercenaries and thieves. The royal famliy is offering 100,000 gold pieces to whoever can retrieve the crown and the cure to the poison.
Basically you can be anything you want, can have any magical pet you want, and you live in a medieval world where all this stuff is common. I've set up a little plot to get us going, because I know that it's always weirdly hard to start a story like this.
I don't really care how many people join, but I think once somewhere between 5-10 people post, I'll start the story.

My character -
Name: Ruby Imago
Age: 16
Gender: female
Appearance: flaming red hair, bright green eyes, tall
Role: blacksmith's apprentice, thief
Background: Ruby was born and raised in the Peridot city center. Her father is the royal blacksmith. He taught her his trade, and how to use the weapons he created. As she grew up she started to steal and became a very proficient thief. She wants to find the crown for the reward, and cares little about how dangerous the Obsidian Gang is.
Species: human
Weapon: a short sword, and a knife, both made by her father
Magical Proficiency: dabbles in magic - she stole a spellbook from a warlock once, and she mainly just uses the spells in the book
Other: she has a black cat that stops by her house occasionally and is more or less her pet

Oooh, yass a medieval RP!!! There hasn't been one since Dragon Hunters... *wistful sigh*
Name: Sorianna (goes by Sor)
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Appearance: Long dark hair with wisps that fall into her face and a thin, metallic silver streak on the left side. Pale skin and deep brown eyes. Pointy ears.
Role: Bookseller's apprentice, more like servant though
Background: She was orphaned at age 5 and had to learn to survive on the streets. Eventually a gruff old bookseller agreed to take her in as long as she helped him with the store. She's has to live by her wits all her life.
Species: Nobody knows for sure. She's probably part elf, part human.
Weapon: A bow and arrows that she's an expert with. Also carries two throwing knives.
Magical Proficiency: She has magical ability which she has not discovered just yet.
Other: N/A

Hey Aspen do you want Sorriana and Korryn to be secret friends? Explanation: Korryn isn't accustomed to civilization or other rational beings, so they'd have to meet up (as friends) in secret. :)

Sorry, I'd like Sor to start out not knowing any of the other charries, and Sor is very very hard to get to know, but I'd be happy for them to be friends eventually!

I'm gonna make a few changes and additions to Sor's character stuff. Instead of being part elf, Sor is a werewolf. She can shift into a wolf at will, and takes a potion at full moon so she is harmless while transformed. She makes her living by odd jobs when she can get them but nobody trusts her because in most people's eyes, she is a "half-breed". The silver streak and pointy ears are now nonexistent and her hair is straight.

I know this is already three pages in, but can I still join? This looks super interesting!

We haven't really started the story so I don't think it's too late.
MOVING ALONG THE STORY!
Stillo~
"And who are you?"
The guard questions me at the front gate. The odd one out of the humans and elves of this caravan. Traders wanting to sell their goes goods and mercenaries protecting them.
"Ssstillo Flavenlanx."
I'm one of the mercenaries.
"Never heard of you. HEY!" the human guard turns to the leading trader. "He's one of you?"
"Yes sir, we hired him last week."
The guard glares at me.
"So it couldn't've been the reptil" He mutters
I'm not that species.
"Huh, is there something wrong sir?" The leader, an elf named Mormenor, asked.
"The king was poisoned this morning..."
"So I've heard, but why accuse this young man."
"It's strange to have only one of a certain race among lots of others. I figured he might have been a hitchhiker, running from something."
"I assure you this Reptil has been anything but trouble."
"If you are sure..."
He opens the gate and we enter Comelth.
Later
"And so I said to him "If you try to ￦¥€§£ my wife again, I'll rip that-""
The tavern is filled with chatter and reeks of ale. As two fellow co-workers. Dorian (human) and Erro (Elf). Dorian tells of his life while Erro listens and gives his look of his when he wishes humans weren't so violent and stupid.
"So he never bothered your wife again?"
"It took more convincing, but let's just say he can't use his fiddle ever again!" he laughs. Erro sighs and shakes his head.
"And you friend." Dorian turns to me. "Got any tales? Or some scaly chick to sleep with?" he drinks from his mug. Smile on his face.
"I'm ssssixteen."
"So? When I was your age-"
"How about you not corrupt his mind with immoral desire?" As he sips a glass of water. "He's only five years younger than us."
"Fine." Dorian turns back to me. "But you must have your silted eyes on someone right?"
"DORIAN!" Erro yells. "You humans and your-"
"It'sss alright Erro." I say. "There wasss thisss one girl in the town I grew up in. Her name wasss Lyra. And her name matched her voiccce. No one sssings like her."
"Wait. A reptil that can sing?! Oh you must be pulling my leg, boy."
"No I ssswear! Her voiccce is beautiful!"
"And you say it matches her name? In what language? What the heck does it even mean."
"Latin," Erro interjects. "For "Sing" or "Harp". Reptils do like to give their offspring names with meaning. A name like that suggest she is of at least middle-class for that would mean her parents had schooling."
"That is right- wait. Isn't "Stillo" Latin for "gecko"? My lord, Gecko your parents must hate you!"
I slam my fist against the table.
"My name meansss "Ssserpent" and I'm not afraid to demonstrate it." I growl.
They both go quiet.
Finally Erro speaks "He is right..."
"Look friend," Dorian finishes his ale. "One thing I never see you do is relax. You always have this look of needing something done."
"....."
"Did she have a nice rack?"
"DORIAN!" Me and Erro scream.
"Oh no! Erro is rubbing off on you!" he laughs.
Night
I lay in my bed. North in hand. My tattoo giving a faint glow.
In my other hand is the wanted poster. 100,000 G for the retrieval of the cure and crown. Bonus for the capture of Obsidian...
With that kind of money on the table...
Maybe they'll be willing to offer something else.
Something that will get me back to Lyra...
Suddenly the window opens.

Name: Prince Kaiden Gaius Laiande
Age: 11
Gender: Boy
Appearance: Tall, pale skin, hazel eyes more towards the green-ish side, black-brown hair, looks a lot like his father, dresses in clothes of royalty, which are fancy but relatively comfortable to move around in.
Role: The prince and heir to the throne, the only child of King Gauis Laiande and Queen Aquila Isabeau Laiande (I made up complex names for them... but that's just me. Loving the names)
Background: He's mostly hidden away from the public, because he's the only heir to the throne. All of Queen Aquila's other children died at childbirth or shortly after. His parents and the servants of the castle are majorly overprotective of him, which stifles him and his freedom. He only gets to go outside in the castle gardens for an hour every day, and he has to be constantly supervised. This increased even more after King Gaius was poisoned. Kaiden is forced to spend most of his time inside (which is why he's paler than he should be), and he reads a lot of advanced books, making him very book-smart. To most, he's only a rumor, and many civilians aren't even sure if he exists. Kaiden longs for adventure and always tries to escape, but the extremely heavy protection system always stops him. Also, he's very close with his father and was devastated after he was poisoned, but not so much with his mother, who's the cause of most of the overprotectiveness.
Species: Human
Weapon: A sword that he only kind-of knows how to wield and his own cunning (basically stalling until he has a plan of how to escape)
Magical Proficiency: Because he's royalty, he has access to the Royal Treasury, which means that anywhere he's at, if he spills a drop or two of blood on the ground, it will open up (magic) and he (only people of royal blood or in the royal family!) can reach in and grab some gold.
Other: Caramel Star, you said Zendaya's father became king, right? Would this make Kaiden and Zendaya . . . step-siblings? If so, then I'm going to make up this (slightly convoluted) royal history, with made up names for Kaiden's and Zendaya's parents.
