NAME: Charlie W.

SPECIES: Human (Homo sapiens)

JOB/TITLE: Sprocketville, Southwest Kyngdom

APPEARANCE: Tall for his age (13), average build, curly dark brown hair always needs a haircut (except right after he gets one)

PERSONALITY: Never the first to speak up, but always the first to notice something

HOME: His parents' house, which his mom likes to say has the most natural light of any underground bunker in Sprocketville, thanks to its many skylights

MOST OFTEN SEEN AT: The machinist wing of the Cypher Labs dormitory, where he lives on a hall with the other gear-nerds. Needless to say it's not the cleanest wing in the building.

FRIEND OR MENTOR: Dr. Sheepshank was the first adult he felt really took him seriously.

ENEMY OR RIVAL: Marcus R., the best machinist at Cypher--and a full year younger than Charlie.

FAVORITE POSSESSION OR OBJECT: His titanium sprocket wrench set, a 13th birthday gift from Dr. Sheepshank.

MOTTO OR FAVORITE SAYING: Er, did you try hitting it with a hammer?

STRENGTHS: Inventiveness--at age 8, he built a working dishwasher from scratch.

WEAKNESSES: Confidence--he has trouble standing up for himself sometimes.

BACKGROUND: Charlie grew up in Sprocketville, a small bunker town in Southwest Kyngdom. He was lonely there, since there weren't many other kids around--but that gave him plenty of time to tinker with the smashed-up machines that lined all the roads in town. After he built an entirely new set of household appliances from scratch, word spread across Kyngdom. Eventually, Dr. Sheepshank recruited him to be part of the Cypher Labs team. His parents were sad to see him go, but he didn't think twice: this was his big break.

Hi! And thanks for welcoming me to the Kyngdom. I posted a thread on the RP board, and it was online for two days but now it is gone. Any idea what happened? What should I do?

It might be on a back pages. Look there. For some reason we can't control, I first reply comment may send a threat to a back page. Then I second page may bring it back to the front (or top. That's why you'll see so many comments that just say "top.")

Here's that charrie I was talking about planning to create over on NaNo. I don't plan on making anymore charries, but I felt like too many of my charries were involved in the war and I wanted a truly neutral charrie.

Name: Shiloh Mrtyu Karunai 

Species: Half-fae/fairy, half-human

Job/Title: Mercenary and bodyguard for hire, also a mage for hire

Appearance: Quite tall, with broad shoulders. Black hair with navy blue and forest green streaks. It's fairly long, and is sometimes pulled into a ponytail, sometimes let loose, sometimes a combination. The starts of a beard. A few faded scars on body, though none are very noticeable. One regular, human-like, dark brown eye, while the other is a vibrant, unnatural purple color. Skin is fair, though slightly tanned. It seems to glow in moon or starlight. Typically wearing either leather or chainmail armor--something light, though still protective. Carries a revolver and a sword with him. Very faint markings on the back of his hands that look like dark birthmarks, in the shapes of triangles, circles and lines. These glow faintly purple when he's using magic. While he appears to be in his late twenties to early thirties, he's actually in his early eighties, as the fae blood in him makes him age very slowly.

Personality: INTJ-A, though not super introverted. Very intelligent, and curious about everything, though still very focused and ambitious. Doesn't always agree with tradition--fae mercenaries aren't exactly 'traditional', nor are hybrids. Very calm, fairly logical. A little insensitive and uncaring, though not nearly as much as most mercenaries. Fairly untrusting, though not super unkind to strangers. Doesn't have a particular stance in the war--he agrees and disagrees with things on all sides, and it doesn't matter to him who wins. The rest is TBD.

Home: Not really anywhere in particular. Neither fae nor humans will accept him, so he avoids staying in one place for too long. Besides, being a mercenary typically requires you to travel.

Most often seen at: Wherever there's work, or a place to stay.

Friend or Mentor: None in particular. I'm sure there's some people who hire him more often than others, though.

Enemy or Rival: Also nobody in particular. While most aren't very accepting of hyrbids, nobody hates them a lot, either.

Favorite Possession or Object: His silver necklace, studded with fragments of special gems. It was a gift from his late mother.

Motto or Favorite Saying: "Everyone is entitled to their opinion, so long as it's educated. But nobody is entitled to ignorance."

Strengths: Good at combat, intelligent. Experienced. Can use some basic magic. Not naive or too trusting. Ages very slowly.

Weaknesses: Not exactly charismatic. Sometimes a little too untrusting. A lack of allies can be a weakness, even if he doesn't have a horde of enemies. None of his magic is super powerful. 

Background: His mother was a human, and his father a fae. His father left soon after his birth, likely shunned from his kind. Shiloh and his mother lived alone somewhere in the woods around the Windswoods, before she fell ill. She passed away when Shiloh was in his late teens/early twenties. He's spent the last sixty-ish years watching Kyngdom grow and change, all while working as a mercenary/mage.

Hello Kyngdom! It's been a long time since I last wrote anything on here (I don't even remember where my posts are). The names I remember using are Windrider the Harpy and Sylvia Moonfur.

So, uh, this character is just Sylvia resurrected.

NAME: Sel

SPECIES: nature spirit, maybe

JOB/TITLE: wanders around handing out rare plants/herbs and medicines, mistakenly labeled as an "you-see-the-bird-human-too?-that-means-someone-needs-medical-attention". whatever that is.

APPEARANCE: a small figure with varying degrees of visibility depending on the moon phase - barely visible during new moon and almost completely solid at full. appears to be a grayish/silvery color. vaguely humanoid with avian features.

PERSONALITY: never physically aggressive, may hurl weak insults if annoyed or offended. usually neutral but willing to help under most circumstances. seems to pity mortals.

HOME: anywhere with plants, really

MOST OFTEN SEEN AT: places with herbs or wounded/ill mortals, especially at nighttime

FRIEND OR MENTOR: a voice named "Sylvia" that claims to be Sel, which is a little weird...but at least it gives good advice.

ENEMY OR RIVAL: fate

FAVORITE POSSESSION OR OBJECT: an unidentified human trinket wrapped in leaves - the only way to pick it up, and it takes forever to wrap up again when the bundle falls apart. If it weren't so important, Sel would have left it by now, but it brings back...memories.

MOTTO OR FAVORITE SAYING: If anybody asks, say it was a miracle.

STRENGTHS: understands how to use most kinds of plants for healing. passes through things that aren't directly from the wild (like concrete and plastic).

WEAKNESSES: a drawback to the second strength - Sel loses energy if surrounded by artificial things for too long. he is also very passive, avoiding action when possible

BACKGROUND: Sel woke up in a forest with a name and a purpose, but he has no idea how he got there. His only link to his past is Sylvia, a strange human-made object, and a strange memory: one word in a language he didn't know. "Purge".

Ooh, really interesting charrie! I think I vaguely remember a Sylvia Moonfur.

NAME: Call me BORG for now.
SPECIES: Human (homo sapiens)
JOB/TITLE: Former B.I.G. technician
APPEARANCE: Male, teenager, glasses, dark hair
PERSONALITY: Quiet until you get me talking. Then you might consider bringing a pillow.
HOME: A tent in an undisclosed forest. I'm hiding from B.I.G.
MOST OFTEN SEEN AT: Sorry. I don't want B.I.G. to find me, so I'm not sayin'.
FRIEND OR MENTOR: At B.I.G. I had a friend named Jordan Skyriker. He didn't like what B.I.G. was doing to those poor animals, so he ran away. I've been unable to track him down. B.I.G. may or may not have got him. I left B.I.G. because he did.
ENEMY OR RIVAL: Well, it's B.I.G. now.
FAVORITE POSSESSION OR OBJECT: I took Jordan's file with me. It's in code. I haven't been able to decrypt it yet.
MOTTO OR FAVORITE SAYING: "Well, in theory, that could work."
STRENGTHS: I'm good with technology.
WEAKNESSES: I'm not super strong.
BACKGROUND: ???

F.A.F.A.? I'm not a spy. I'll help you if you let me.
