[i]A party raged around her. It was not the first, and most probably not the last, and yet it felt different somehow. As if it was the start of something that could change her life forever. She chuckled to herself, knowing that the thought was silly. Things like that only happened in fairy tales, and her life was certainly nothing of the sort. Though she did not look, the woman could feel the judging eyes on her, knowing that she should not have made a sound. After all, it was not what a good slave did.

Her eyes caught sight of the silver bands around her wrists, heavy in more ways than one. It was so strange how they were all here to see her, and yet she could be treated as though she should be grateful for their presence instead of the opposite. The woman knew that most were here out of curiosity. Having heard of the slave who danced at each party her master held. She flinched, knowing that it was more than her talent that caused them to come.

One of her hands made its way to the strands of hair that hung loosely in her face. It was the unusual color, bright red, that drew all these people to the party. Her master would say that it was his popularity, but that wasn't true. The guests had come because they wanted to see the devil girl themselves. For obviously, it could have been no other creature that had adorned her with her unnatural hair.

It was time. She raised her clasped hands to the sky, and stood on her toes, praying. She didn't care who or what they thought she was praying for, it didn't matter. Instead, she wished for beauty and grace in her performance. And as the music began and she stepped into her first dance of the night, one last prayer crossed her mind. Ignia wished to be free.[/i]

Okay, so. The above may or may not be my first post, I'm not sure yet. This roleplay will be entirely character based. I don't have a plot right now, other than this party. Each of your characters will be there, but how and why is all up to you. Whether you want to play a master, slave, or just a free man, doesn't matter. Any and all types of characters are welcome. You cannot be Ignia's master, as I will be playing him. 

Now, the story will start off here, where our characters will meet one another, and then based on the actions of each and every one of you we will either stay in the town and interact that way, or possibly be on the run. Who knows.

I really want this roleplay to revolve around each character. Their backgrounds, personality, and such. I want them to grow, to interact with each other, and to change throughout this story. I want it to be less focused on plot, which is why I have not entirely come up with one, as said. I will be open to any and all suggestions you have regarding it. 

I will be judging who I accept based on writing in your character sheet. I don't normally do this because I believe everyone should be allowed to write regardless of style or skill just because its fun. However, this will (hopefully) be a very detailed rp and require effort from all of us. So, I'll have more requirements than I normally do. 

The world is entirely up to you, as long as it makes sense I will allow it. You can be from any town or country you wish. I won't be listing any to choose from because I feel as if that puts limits on your creativity. Just remember that this is set in a time before technology. I don't think I would go back as far as Medieval, but there are no cars or computers or phones or jeans. I will only be putting up two towns that are already created.

They are:

Thessaloniki - The city you are currently in. It is located on the southern edge of Ageuos, right on the water. It is a port city, so its biggest incomes are fishing and the ever growing hobby of treasure hunting. Most people living here are of the working class, but in the center of the city, the rich go to play. The most well known of these families are the Octave's. As of now, only the son remains in the city, as all others have died off or moved away. Each month he throws a party with his favorite pet performing. The rumors have spread all over town about the girl with the demon hair, and only newcomers do not know about her. Some believe she is a myth, while others swear they have seen her in the dead of night. The ones who truly have use it to show their status to one another, as not just anyone is allowed to attend these parties. This is one of many cities that allows and encourages slavery.

Adonia - The city of Ignia's birth. Located in the very center of the country, this is a place where spirituality is almost required. The people take refuge in dance and it used to celebrate, mourn, and show any other emotion they may have. They are not kind to outsiders, as more often than not those who are not born here do not understand their ways. The people here are working class and below. None who live in the city have money. The main income is farming, though some go off to dance in other cities. In general, slavery is abhorred here, but as with Ignia, they do make exceptions.

Okay, so. Honestly, I'd rather do without CS's because like I said I want this to be character based, which means I don't necessarily want to know a lot up front. That being said, I will be asking for just enough to get a gauge on your writing. The only one with a history will be Ignia, unless you believe your character's history would be well known.

CS:

Name (First and Last):
Age:
Country/City of Origin (If you'd like you can put a description as well as a name):
Status (Master, Slave, Free Man):
Personality (Again as detailed or vague as you'd like):
Appearance: (Pictures are accepted, as are descriptions. Both are even better. If you do use a picture I'd rather it be of a real person.): 
Reason for attending the party (This can be as detailed or as vague as you'd like, but I might need to know this): 
Anything Else (This can be anything that you feel we should know, but does not fit in any other category): 

If Ignia's CS is not up yet, it will be soon. I've just spent a lot of time writing this and want to get it posted into Interest Checks. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to message me or post here with them! Thanks for reading, I know it was long.
