I might tentatively step in.... Are trolls allowed? They don't eat humans, I promise!

Name: Lia (Formally Princess Arlia)
Age:17
Race: Human
Sexuality: ? Does not have a fondness for men, so who knows!
Class: ?
Trinkets: A fake marriage license so she won't be punished for having a baby without a husband, her bag of coins and jewels she took with her from the palace.
Armor/Weapons: Nothing, but a heavy bag full of coins and jewels



Bio: Arlia was taken advantage of by one of her male servants. She is now pregnant. She has to switch places with her twin sister so that she can escape the castle walls and avoid punishment for the taboo of being pregnant before being married. The only reason she has a twin to switch with is because of the Breeding Laws in her kingdom. Each family are allowed only one male child and one female child. The king and queen are very strict with upholding laws, or at least pretending to, so when they had twin daughters, one of them was hidden away and given to the kitchen staff to raise. Arlia found out about her sister through the words of her favorite maid when she was on her death bed. The twins quickly became close and each were willing to switch so that Arlia would not be pushed, because even as princess, she could still be punished.

Name: Willow
Age: Unknown
Race: Half-Dryad
Sexuality: Does not have any sexuality taboos that humans have.
Class: Archer, Elemental Mage
Trinkets: No trinkets
Armor/weapons: Elemental magic and can materialize a bow and arrow made from leaves and twigs.


Dryad form



Human form, though they look more like elves, with the pointy ears. She is half dryad half human.

Bio: Willow is a half-dryad. Her father was human and her mother a full blooded tree spirit. She has a love for nature, though is not tied down to any tree, unlike her mother. She longs for the human life her father had, though she does not know who he is. She seems standoffish, even cold at first, because she does not have much experience in socializing with other people. She is still considered a youngling by Dryad standards, though by human standards, she looks and acts like an adult.

Willow's mother's tree was cut down many years ago, her mother dying with the tree. She has no ill will toward humans or other races, but holds hatred for the ones responsible for her mothers death. She knows those responsible are long gone from this world. Since she loves nature and life in general, she found a way to stay by it, yet still get out into the world. This is why she has attached herself to the young mother to be and her child.

Most half-dryads tend to follow the ways of goodness. Their humanoid parentage will often influence how they go about expressing it. Often, those with an elven parent are chaotic, and those with human parents are neutral. On average, half-dryads are neutral and good.

... Arlia was taken advantage of by one of her male servants....

Wouldn't there be guards or something like that? Hard to imagine a servant could do something like that to a member of royal family...

Sorry, I posted in the IC already. Was I supposed to wait? Confused since I have never done a group rp before.

Guards can be negligent. The other servants took care of him, by the way. Oh well, anyways, that's that. Sorry if it seems like a dumb character.

Well normally you do wait for approval before posting IC. Common courtesy. But, that post was pretty impressive for a casual role-play and I like your CS. I do not like the troll's appearance, trolls are much uglier, dark looking creatures than that (in the world that is envisioned here). Think LOTR Cave troll type things. They are also dumb and brute.

Thanks! Okay than I need to change him into a different " humanoid creature" that might be misunderstood as "Bad" but is not bad, and can shape shift. Any ideas? Please don't take my first post as how I will post every time. I'm very rusty with role playing and this would be my first group. Sorry again for posting IC. I got confused.

Done



Name:
Seda 'Seddy' Anima

Age:
Nineteen

Race:
Human

Gender:
Female

Sexuality:
Demisexual

Class:
Thief

Weapon(s):
* Dual Daggers: Two daggers stolen from a town far away. Both hidden beneath her tunic, attached to her thighs via two different scabbards.
* A Walking Stick: Normally held, it is a tall, knotted staff that is somewhat pointed at the end. Somewhat heavy, but Seda has luckily grown used to the weight.

Armor:
A loose outfit made of somewhat cheap fabrics. Her head is normally covered by a hooded, black cloak, and she wears a knee-length, dark purple tunic. Her pants are black and tied tightly at her ankles. Easy to move in and quiet.

Personal Trinkets:
A crystal knife which was given to Seda by her mother.

Short History:
Seda was born one winter's night to a guild of thieves who barely made living on the edge of a town. She was blind, weak, and the family knew they would be unable to care for her. Thoughts of putting the child out of her misery were out-spoken, but her mother, Arryn, refused. After a rather heated debate and many threats, Arryn ran out with the child. The women left behind the guild to live, hopelessly, in a forest beside another town.

They managed to live off both the land, eating berries and hunting game, as well as through thieving. Seda learned to live without her eyes, using the feeling, smells, and sounds around her to pinpoint people and places and things. Hearing is her greatest asset; she is able to hear a pin drop from a yard away depending on the other sounds in the area. She was trained to fight blind, to live off the land, to sneak, to act, and to dodge, among other things.

The family of two were very alike in many ways, both haughty, both stubborn, and clever as can be. A no-nonsense type of team. Her mother and she became two of the most notorious thieves in the town, too well known as it seems because they soon had to move again. Their lives continued just like that, moving from town to town, thieving and thriving wherever they could. Until, one day, they were finally cornered. With nothing else to do, her mother quickly chucked her sack of (stolen) coins to her daughter and a crystal necklace she had always held onto and threw herself into the fray. Seda was left with no choice but to escape without her mother, back to their rendezvous spot, where she waited for several days until she realized that her mother was not coming back for her. And she was alone.

She left the town and continued to the next, and the next, and the next. Seda became known across many towns as a thief, known for her 'acting blind and then pick pocketing' routine and many others. There were many bounties on her head, and many people would try to hunt her down. One particular chase gave her no choice but to flee into the Drakenwald, where she (surprisingly) found refuge in a peculiar-felling Inn.

Other:
-Blind, but manages well thanks to her other heightened sense.

Preferably more traditional fantasy races, along the lines of; Human, Elf (although there are a lot of Elves here), Dwarf, Gnome, Halfling, Half-breeds (of the accepted races). I suppose Fae's would count as traditional fantasy, they are just usually not playable roles. However, if you feel that this will fit your play-type then go for it, just keep it in line with traditional fantasy aspects if you can.

I'm also very surprised to see there are no Dwarf characters yet, they're usually insanely popular. I guess patterns change.

Edit: Sorry, didn't see you had redacted your question.

@Ayesha: How about a Dryad or Nymph of some sort? They are known for being malicious. As well as this considering most people at the Hallows Inn have had bad experiences with the Drakenwald, and some may even feel trapped by the woods. A forest spirit such as a Dryad or Nymph (known for being shape-shifters, usually between tree like folk and human folk). would probably be seen in a similar fashion to how you wanted your Troll to be seen.

That would work for me. I'll have to do some research and edit my IC post to fit accordingly. Thanks for the suggestion. For now I'll edit my IC post and make a note that the "Troll" will be edited out to be Nymph. I can't do the full edit right now because I have a job interview to get to!

@Ayesha; No problem. I'm glad I could have been of assistance. I personally love Dryads, especially the angry, Warhammer Fantasy dryads of the Wood Elves. The Chronicles of Narnia also have a really nice take on them (similar to that of Warhammer) without the insanity and anger (to an extent).

Just a couple of examples for you:


Dryad/Nymph (Humanoid form)


Dryad ("True" form)

Two of my personal favorite examples. The first is a artwork for a MTG card called "Hopeful Eidolon", the second artwork is the box art for "Dryad" Unit of the Wood Elves army in Warhammer Fantasy. Feel free to use either or both as your pictures.

Edit: @Liriia; Accepted, nice CS. Feel free to make your opening post.

I'm off to bed now guys, work in the morning, but I'll probably be on before work anyway. So when posting, just make sure to not post too much without giving others a chance to post. Happy Hunting!

Would it be a bother if I made my own race? Or rather, tweaked an existing but rarely if ever used race?

I was going to go for a human thief raised by goblins, but someone took the thief spot, so I've gotta do something else.

Name: Caelyn D'antu
Age: 33
Race: Dwarven
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Class: Rogue

Appearance:
Weapon(s): Dual Hatchets
Armor: Chain Shirt

Personal Trinkets: Cloak of Stealth, Once a day can move silently for 30 seconds. (stolen from his Pasha at Arvendas)
Short History: Once considered the Pasha Kylar's pet, Caelyn fell from his graces after trying to get his life straight. He was tired of the ruthless killing, and taking everyone's possessions. He didn't mind stealing from people who could afford to do without, but when the Pasha robbed the orphanage from whence Caelyn came, that was the final straw. In a small act of retribution, Caelyn stole the Pasha's favored possession; his cloak. He was pursued ruthlessly, but with the help of the cloak, he has managed to elude the band of rogues/assassins..... so far.

Thanks for the examples. I might go the CON route since I don't want him/her to be insane/angry all the time. *ponders* Love the pictures, but I will have a looksee at some more pictures before deciding. lol
