Kyngdom Survival Guide

Traveler's RP!

Chatterbox: KYNGDOM™ RP Board

Traveler's RP!

Traveler's RP!

This is intended to be a low-stakes RP that doesn't impact the main plot where people can just jump right into Kyngdom :)

Kyngdom is a sprawling world with tons of people to meet and adventures to be had, from the coastal city of Mer to the frigid coniferous Decoy Forest. Several travelers are embarking on different journeys through it, and I assume they'll eventually meet up with one another, perhaps at an inn or a marketplace or a crossroads. This RP is a way for characters to interact, form relationships, and explore Kyngdom, and for us Kyngdomers to get to know this place as well :)

(Sybill posted a very helpful completed map of Kyngdom here: http://www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/kyngdom-hoof/node/284773?page=2)

You're free to make as many characters as you'd like (well, as many as you can manage, I suppose), and anyone can join at any time. And if you're reading this and you're hesitant about joining Kyngdom, I encourage you to join :D Don't worry about making mistakes or anything--it's totally cool and we'll help you. Honestly, we're all pretty new here :) (And it's no secret that we need all the Kyngdomers we can get XD)

Here's the charrie form (and I also encourage you to post your character on the Who's Here? thread! :) )~

Hello! :)

Anyways, came on here to say, @Peri, yes, that'd be great! I love love love all three of your charries sm, so it'd be an honor to be able to interact with them if that's what you mean (weird phrasing sorry)? Though I do want to clarify... do you mean having them meet up (I do think we should get ppl meeting up after establishing the before and stuff just to get this RP up and running, if everyone agrees)?

 

btw, before Feiya said something like KANNA or something which I think is a cool name... may make a charrie with that name sometime :)

Uhh… what? Sorry, I'm confused. I don't think I mentioned having our characters meet? Can you please tell me what you are referring to? /not mad

Though I do agree that they should run into each other a little bit, bc it's hard to rp by yourself! Since they're traveling, though, I don't think all the characters have to meet up. Maybe some of them can just run into each other on their travels. If you would like to have a charrie run into any of my characters, I am up for it.

submitted by Peri@Celine, age Pi, What?

Oops, sorry, I feel really embarrassed now. :/ When you said "let's rp on (the traveler RP), too," I just assumed you meant having the characters meet bc my def of rp is kinda like interaction but I wasn't entirely sure what yours was, bc of the way you said it, so I just put the "though I do want to clarify..." part in there too. I understand now, thank you! And just so you know, I do not want to force you to have our charries meet btw, if you don't want to, that's totally fine with me! /also not mad :)

 

short posts to keep this going having limited time... 

 

-/~Myint~\-

Myint ran through the forest. Ok, so maybe she shouldn't have prodded that root. But seriously! It had been a root! What else was she supposed to have done? She hadn't known it was actually the horn of an ultra-aggressive slumbering... actually, she didn't even know what the thing was. It had big, clunky, scaly armor, and spriraly horns, and hooved feet, but all the rest of it was covered in mud and leaves. Oh, and it was gaining on her.

Myint ran faster.

 

/-Fil-/

Fil went to sleep. The taste of the leaf still stung in his mouth. He tried not to dream.

As always, he failed. 

 

Feiya said ERUHU!! Like erhu!! Look it up if you have time, awesome instrument!

Don't be embarrassed! Though I still have no clue what you are referring to XD where did I say that??

No I want our charries to meet; rping by myself is boring

*Starlight*

She put on her cloak and dashed through the village streets, doing her best to capture as little attention as possible. She went to locate the nearest general store, and eventually located one named Amber's General Goods. Starlight looked left and right before going into the store.

A little chime sounded as she entered the store. She examined all the goods, and picked out a bottle of ink (she was running out), rope, an extra cloak, and some dried fruits and jerky. She set her things on the counter as the chime sounded again. A silvery-haired young man who looked around 18 entered. He stole a glance at Starlight, who quickly stuffed her things in her satchel and headed towards the door. But then he stopped her.

 

#Winter#

Winter decided to follow this mysterious person, and she headed to the general store. He waited until she entered for a good few moments before going in as well. The traveler spotted him and prepared to leave, but he stepped in front of her.

"Sorry to disturb you, but what is your name?" Winter asked.

"Why do I need to tell you?" the traveler replied. Her voice was sharp and quick.

"It's just that...I know everyone around here, and I've just never seen you before. So I assumed you must be new. And it’s always a neighborly thing of mine to introduce myself and ask for their names. My name's Winter, by the way," he added.

"Starlight. That's my name, Starlight," she said. She stole a glance at her satchel and then outside, and asked, "Are you done now that I've introduced myself? I really must get going now."

"Of course, of course," Winter responded. "Have a good day, Starlight." 

Starlight didn't reply as she went out of the general store. Winter smiled a little as she left.

I'm fairly sure that this is the first snake charrie on Kyngdom (aside from that one Power)

Name: Hands

Pronouns: she/her

Species: Burmese Python

Age: around three years old, which I'm fairly sure is around 14 for a burm

Personality: rather quiet, but enjoys watching people back away in horror at the 8-foot python slithering into the room. not the best at fighting, but has very sharp teeth. would rather not fight, easygoing. considering joining the Fur and Feathers Association but not sure if one must actually have fur or feathers to join.

Appearance: around eight feet long, tends to 'periscope' to look people in the eye to make conversations less awkward. dark brown scales with black and light brown patterns, kinda shiny. has round, brown eyes and a pink tongue.

Home: nowhere in particular, but avoids cold areas

Skills/Abilities: can open doors.

Background (you can figure this out as you go, too :) ):

Hey, your character is really cool! Thanks for joining Kyngdom. I bet Hands would like the Bog + Burrow once we get it up and running…

Anyway, I was wondering if Georgie and Hands could befriend each other on their travels, perhaps? In all honesty I'm still not 100% sure how cyphers work/if and how they could communicate but maybe we could make it work anyway? It's fine if you don't want them to be friends though.

that sounds fun, and I think Scuttles has another character to be friends with Hands, maybe all three could team up

Ah, okay, I found the comment you seem to have been referring to. I'd simply forgotten; there's no need to be embarrassed but something useful to know about me is that I will not connect two comments from two different threads without any context. Next time a conversation such as this one will smoother if you could just reference the thread I said something on. /neutral; not mad

Anyway, yes, I did mean that I wanted to rp with you, as in have our characters interact. Who do you think should meet?

(January 17, 2024 - 8:21 pm)

Oops, sorry, just saw this (haven't been checking Kyngdom as frequently, sorry). And also oops yup sorry I'll try to make sure to reference places next time, I tend to think that everyone always knows exactly what I'm talking about, when duh ppl usually won't understand when I say something out of context, so this is actually a problem I have a lot and am trying to work on... thanks for clearing that up though! :)

Um.. well, what do you think about Fil and Ivan, bc you said that he's looking to make more connections with others? They're both less serious than their sisters (though oc, Fil doesn't Myint is his sister), and have lost their villages. But I don't know, do you have a better idea?

submitted by Celine@Peri, age Realzdtoda, : Myint’s a real name!
(January 23, 2024 - 2:37 am)

Name: Altair Seasinger 

Pronouns: he/they/it
Species: Unknown, appears mostly human
Age: Unknown, appears to be about 18
Personality: Determined, independent, friendly enough, relatively cautious, thoroughly silly by intention, with an affinity for animals, plants, and water, and thinks he's better at puns and wordplay than he actually is.
Appearance: Short, with light brown skin and amber eyes. They have wavy dark brown hair in a side shave, with blue dye made from phosphorescent plants, so it glows in the dark. They wear mostly loose, comfortable clothing in dark grays, purples, and blacks with lots of pockets. They wear sturdy, sensible boots, and they appear human for the most part, aside from strange flaps and slits on their neck that look like gills. They carry a satchel with their few belongings over one shoulder, a coil of rope over the other, and are accompanied by a baby drake they named Delta. More information about Delta in the “other” section at the bottom.
Home: He knows nothing of where he comes from. He hopes to find his memories and his home during his travels.
Skills/Abilities: He’s quite the musician—he plays most any drum, and he’s also proficient in the ocarina, the kazoo, the recorder from 2nd grade music class, and other basic wind instruments. He’s also quite good at what he calls “sneakery”: moving without making a sound or being seen, picking locks, picking pockets, breaking into places without being noticed, etc. He’s also quite a strong swimmer and a decent cook. 
Background (you can figure this out as you go, too :) ): He woke up floating in the ocean one day, near the shore, with no memory of who he is, his species or age, where he came from, or anything else. He hopes to learn more about himself and uncover his memories as he travels.
Other: They travel with a young drake named Delta, who they rescued from a pack of wolves earlier in their travels. Delta mostly has hard, glossy black scales, with purple eyes and purple patterning. They have four legs and switch between walking on all fours or on their back legs. They have two pairs of wings as well, one larger, primary set of wings and a smaller secondary set, but they can’t fly, although they glide sometimes. Altair hopes to be able to teach them to fly. They can breathe a purple fire-y energy thing, but don’t have much control over it so it usually comes out in hiccups, burps, and sneezes and singes Altair’s hair or starts small fires. They have a playful, energetic personality and seem to be quite attached to Altair. Altair partially hopes to be able to find Delta’s family and return them, but also partially hopes that he can’t find their family, as he’s grown quite attached to them and doesn’t want to have to say goodbye to his spunky draconic sidekick.

*Deep breath* I'll try this one too 

Name: Lauren

Pronouns: she/her

Species: Elf

Age: 15

Personality: Kind, gentle, and funny. She can be quite wordy, using words that others might not on a regular basis. She doesn't know how to read, given her life away from humanoids, but she is a fast learner and is sure to pick it up quick if she found words. Likes to do things with her hands, and she is slightly anxious. She is brave, as well as adventurous, but she is also VERY causious.

Appearance: Tall and willowy, with sharply pointed ears and long, light brown hair streaked with gold highlights. Kind hazel eyes and full lips, and bright smile. Freakled cheeks and long legs and fingers. Thick eyelashes, but not long, and a narrow face. Wears a dress made out of dark, blue cloth and her legs are bare. She can tie the dress in a way that makes it shorts jumpsuit, and she usually wears it this way. She also has a cloak made out of some sort of thick fur, but it seems to be woven together, as though lots of fur was collected and then made into this.

Home: anywhere where there is a strong, healthy tree, but generally in a forest

Skills/Abilities: Great at anything athletic, and good with bow and with staff. Great with animals of any kind, and can listen to nature and sometimes it says something. Never gets lost or looses direction

Background (you can figure this out as you go, too :): Been alone since a child, making friends with any animals. But she's never seen another humaniod being, and hopes that she's not the only one like herself in the world. Somehow, she'd never come across civilization. Until now :) She's stumbled across a town and is shocked and curious about it.

Hey Hawkstar! I'm so glad you joined :D Just thought I should tell you it's probably a good idea to use two different characters for the Traveler's RP and the Boarding School RP. While in some situations you can use the same character for multiple roleplays, this is one where I would reccomend creating one for the Travel RP and one for the Boarding School. If you need help creating a different character for one, I can help you!

(unless these are two characters with the same name in which case maybe just change one of their names to avoid confusion?)

Oops... yeah, these are 2 different charries, just did the same name for some reason. This one was supposed to be Kosmos... so yeah! this is Kosmos :)
