This is a whimsical, hyper-fantasy, folklore-inspired roleplay about exploration, creativity and character development. Your character will begin without knowledge, without skills, without weapons, without supplies. All they know is they fell asleep in their own bed and woke up in the belly of a ship woven out of living wood. All they have are the clothes on their backs and their own wit. Your woefully unprepared character will be presented with the opportunity to interact with the ship, with each other, and with the inhabitants of the islands along the way: only through these interactions -- and the resulting domino-effect of events -- will the true nature of the nameless vessel reveal itself.

Name:

Age:

Appearance: (A description, a picture, or both.)

Occupation: (Shall be nonmagical and nonviolent in nature.)

Personality: (How your character perceives the world and other people.)

History: (May be from any place or time.)

• This RP will be run in the exploratory style of action and response: when a character interacts with the environment or with NPCs in any way, something will occur in response. In order to move the story forward, each character must actively touch, taste, smell, look, listen, and speak.
• Players should be prepared for their characters' failure. Decisions your character makes won't always turn out the way they expect. Characters will make mistakes, they will be ridiculed, and they will be maimed without warning.
• If for any reason you'd like to reroll a new character, simply say so in the OOC. Your character will be removed IC in a satisfying fashion, and you will be free to create another to explore with.
• Should you wish or need to permanently leave the RP for any reason, please let us know in the OOC. Your character will be removed IC.
• Nothing is what it seems.
• My PM box is always open. Don't hesitate to contact me should you have ideas, concerns, or suggestions.

Give it up, biyatch! Boob bump! Unh! Yeah...! TamTam! Hells yesh, you know me! Hahahah!

Occupation: High-School Student

Personality:

Hey, alls! This is Kaylee. TJ's older sis. I just wanted to explain my kid sister to you before you start judging her. Yeah, she's all loud and happy and chats your ear off. She's always been like that. And sometimes she puts up that tough chick, 'what-evs-I-don't-care' front sometimes, but let me tell ya... there's a reason she doesn't do the chick flicks or tear-jerkers... oh, apparently TJ doesn't cry, she just... wipes at her face cuz she 'gots sumpin' in her eyes.' Hahaha... nah, she's a good kid. Like, TJ can be silly too but she always tries to make you laugh and is mostly rather fun to be around... but just bop her head if she gets too annoying... works for me anyways... hahahahah...

History:

We grew up in the neighbourhood where our family salon is. It's been only Tamara-Jane, me and mom since me n' TJ were kids. Our dad eff off'd on us and got himself killed when we were still young, so it's been mom taking care of us by herself pretty much since I was 11 and TJ was 5. We've had other 'daddy' types come into our lives but they left as fast as they came in... yeah, mom knew how to pick them alright...

When I moved on to college in 2010, TJ had fully realized her dream as a cheerleader. Suits her, I guess. Like, I wish she was on the other side of the cheers since she's rather athletic, even though she's short... hahaha... but some of the stuff I seen her and her troupe pull off nowadays are really fantastic! They do flips and jumps and tosses and wow!

Like, she works hard for it too, yet still finds time away from cheer squad practice and work outs to help out at home and at the salon too. Cuz... well, I dropped out from college cuz we still don't have a lot of money cuz we are paying for our mom's medical bills and we still owe on the house too. We're not too proud of frugal living but it is what it is. Like, I know she plays off her style as... street... urban... hippie-hops whatever you'd call it... but she just buys cheap or discounted clothes cuz that's all we can afford. It's still a good style though.

But what I really wanted to talk about is her issues. She has these weird memory lapses. When she wakes up especially. Sometimes, she comes out of her room rushing to get ready, all happy like, then she stops and looks heart-breakingly sad, then flees back to her room or to the bathroom. "I soooo gots ta tell you about this dream, Kaylee! Oh, I sooo cannot wait to tell LynLyn too!" That's usually what she says before she breaks down and rushes off to cry. It's like each morning she forgets that they're not together. I don't know what to do... or say to her.

It's weird. I know she loved Crystal-Lynne... LynLyn, was what she called her... but you'd think time would've healed by now..? I thought she was over the heart-break. I thought she was over the pain. It's like somethings got a hold over her!

Crystal-Lynne was TJ's first love. And she was killed almost 2 years ago.

It's like she forgot about that somehow... and it's starting to show that it's eating her up inside. It really is. And so knowing this. Please take it easy on Tamara Jane, okay? She's my kid sis. I love her sooooo much... but I don't know how to help her... maybe you can...?

Anyway, thanks for hearing me out.

Hurrrr

Durrrr Do we post our characters in the 'Characters' tab, or no?

Durrrr Do we post our characters in the 'Characters' tab, or no?

Good question! Please post an app here in the OOC and wait for approval before copying to Characters.

Name: Garren Scallder Age: 21 Appearance: Garren is tall, standing at around 6 feet exact or so, with a compact, lean, and defined build that shows that he exercises daily, wherever his past life lied. His hair is a deep brown, while his skin possesses a fair complexion - neither tanned, nor overly pale. He carries himself well, with shoulders back and eyes straight. Speaking of eyes; they are, by far, some of the oddest ones. A yellow...or is it golden? Amber? Whatever, his eyes are that distinct color, with an almost...slitted pupil. It could just be a genetic mutation, or maybe just the trick of the light. It's best not to dwell. When he awoke, Garren awoke with a v-necked, white t-shirt, a light, tan colored jacket with black edgings and a hood, along with lightly torn jeans and combat boots. Occupation: Courier Personality: Garren is a sharp-witted, confident young man with a cool demeanor and a level-headed mind. Sarcasm is on the tip of his razor-sharp tongue. He deals with situations without breaking a stride, although his patience isn't a strong-suit, and often times he could snap in anger whenever someone goes to great lengths to piss him off. Often, when things goes his way, he gains a smirk that has swooned many a women in the past; apparently, his personality, and rougish good looks made him a charmer in a past-life. Who'd known? Let nobody say that Garren isn't a crafy sunnavabitch, however. Guy could make a proton cannon out of three sheets of scrap metal and a vulture's egg. That's besides the point. He's resourceful, cool-headed, smart, and has a pretty volatile temper if you push him; that's the gist of things. History: Garren comes from a time of heavy tension - approximately 2452, as far as the specific date is concerned. He was born underneath an average mother and father, got into some trouble, and stole his dad's hover-bike at the age of sixteen, after having to escape a bunch of smugglers that he had accidentally walked in on. As laser bullets blasted around him, Garren flipped the bike's light-speed mode and promptly blasted out of the country, into unfamiliar territory. There, he had no name, no history, and promptly, he got a job delivering packages in between different states, using his dad's hover-bike as a means of transportation. That's all, really; in his history, he was a courier, that had to escape some sticky situations, make some hair-rising deals, bang some hot women, and generally live life.

I figured I'd port one of my favorite characters from a recently dead RP over here. Name: Suichiro Hamani Age: 21 Appearance: Occupation: Gardener Personality: Suichi is a kind soul. He loves plants and animals, especially cats. He is a hard worker that tries to inspire others to have the same work ethic. When he is pushed into a corner his personality becomes very direct and takes all actions possible to deal with the issue at hand. While he can end up regretting the decisions he makes, he doesn't let that stop him from moving forward. History: Suichi was raised by his father and never knew his mother who died during childbirth. He was fortunate to have survived himself and until he turned 17 had health issues that prevented him from too much phyiscal activity. He spent a lot of his time in his father's flower shop and inherited his father's enjoyment of the job. He ended up taking over the shop when his father retired and ran a successful business with his wife. Now he's happy with his life... but not for long...

Question: when you say character history can be from any place or time what do you mean by time? Does this mean anywhere on Earth or can this be from other I guess the word would be universes.

Just for your information, Anise is from a fictional kingdom called Riverforde. So I'm pretty sure other worlds/universes are greenlit.

Noice. Very noice. I'll get to work on one.

I can't help but reserve a spot as well. Hopefully I'll be able to get a character up tomorrow!

Second question: are only humans allowed. I don't mean to say magical creatures like fairies or angels more like humanoid races without magic. Like elves, dwarves, stuff of that nature.

Name: Christopher Casablanca

Age: 28

Appearance: Not the exact same tattoos, my RP character will two tribal sleeves.


Occupation: High-End Furniture Maker

Personality: Christopher is a man with a taste for finer things which was what made him decide on the profession that he has chosen. He might seem rather snooty because he likes to make his opinion well known and potentially create arguments if he is passionate about his topic. He does enjoy the company of other level headed individuals.

History: Christopher had a tough life growing up, mother and father both held two jobs just to keep enough food on the table to keep them from starving. Both of his parents abused numerous substances to numb everything in the world around them after getting home, so it was the job of Christopher to take care of his younger twin brothers who were 9 years younger. After Christopher finished high school he went onto learn how to make furniture which provided much better than his parents had been able to so Christopher had gone onto become legal guardians to his two brothers.

When his two brothers were in school Christopher would go to his workshop and make a living but this wasn't what he wanted to do all his life was to make decent furniture while just keeping afloat, so when his brothers started participating in afterschool activities Christopher went back to school to learn more technical procedures and how different woods were to be treated.

When both of his brothers turned 19 and went off to college for higher education Christopher put his nose to the grindstone and made a name for himself in the home decor world. One night after signing a large deal that would change his world as he knew it, he decided to hit the downtown nightlife. After picking up two fine ladies at a bar they went back to his place for a different kind of party. That was the last thing that Christopher remembered ...

Just for your information, Anise is from a fictional kingdom called Riverforde. So I'm pretty sure other worlds/universes are greenlit.

That is presumptuous considering your character hasn't been approved yet (at least as far as I see here). I would assume we could have some freedom in that aspect as kingdoms have risen and fallen throughout history and are not always large or written about. Something realistic for a time period should work pretty easilly.

Second question: are only humans allowed. I don't mean to say magical creatures like fairies or angels more like humanoid races without magic. Like elves, dwarves, stuff of that nature.

In the Interest Check we only talked about having characters from different times (the examples were Middle Ages and Victorian). I believe the idea is to take people that are from a similar, common skill level and throw them into a fantasy beyond what we experience here on Earth.

Got it so no nonhumans

Age: 19
Occupation: Time Traveller
Personality: Alicia is an adaptable, opportunistic creature with exceptional charisma and literary ability, stemming from a complete and extensive education in a safe learning enviroment. She's no stranger to boredom, and the methods of combating it, but has never once faced actual adversity beyond the simple, mundane troubles of day-to-day life.

Her creative abilities are higher than most, and her devotion to the creation of imaginary worlds has left her proficient in the arts of daydreaming and improvisation. She is, however, a troublesomely free-spirited girl, who insistently puts herself at the forefront of any group or situation. Her inherent strangeness possesses a certain quirky draw to it, which she uses to gather others around her and take charge. She rarely looks before bursting headfirst into danger, often relying on those around her to keep her out of trouble.

Rather than seeking the One True Outcome, she is the sort of person who will look for innumerable possible solutions to the same, simple problem. She likes to do her own thing, move at her own pace, and reject whatever predetermined "Truth" is present in any equation. Given this, it's natural that her ultimate enemy is Mathematics, which she will avoid like the plague wherever applicable.

While she makes a big show of being strong, and never showing any signs of weakness, she is in fact a weak person. She can't handle any excessive amount of stress or emotional strife, and instead decides to ignore it completely rather than dealing with it. She'll run from her problems till the end of the world if she's allowed, and will inevitably break down if she's ever forced to face them directly.

Name: Dakota Cross

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Appearance:



Occupation: Student/dog adoption center worker

Personality: Like the tranquil Alaskan winter, Dakota is a quiet yet intimate soul. He strives hard in life to support his single mother, and is secretly rather intelligent and somewhat whimsical. He also has a strong moral stability born out of Christian parents and so does not binge drink, smoke, or take drugs like some of his teenage brothers (but it is worth noting he has his father's affinity for beer sometimes). But often, his quiet attitude can be shattered rather easily by sudden danger, life-changing events, or an insult to him or his family.

History: Dakota was born a single child in Anchorage, Alaska in 1998 to a sailor and a deli receptionist. Dakota’s father died at sea when his son was just three, and a considerable amount of regular income was lost. Dakota loved his mother very much and worked hard at school, particularly excelling in the sciences.

Even though they did not have the money or time to take care of a pet, Dakota loved to visit the local dog adoption center. Dakota fell in love with the place so much that he eventually started working there to support his family. It became his second home, and all of the dogs there became his ‘pets’. His caring attitude developed there, and it has become one of his primary characteristics.

It is now January 6, 2015. Dakota’s future looks bright – he has raised more than enough money to attend the University of Alaska to earn a degree in Chemistry. However, for certain reasons he has had to stay up late in the adoption center on a Tuesday evening (luckily, during Christmas break). His eyes begin to feel drowsy as the clock ticks towards 9:30 PM…

I will post my app for a character later today, so we post it here and if it gets approved to we put it in the character section later or do we keep all the characters here and hunt down the character sheets lol Just a bit of humor and maybe a bit of sleepiness, anyways I got an idea just looking for a fitting appearance
