Just wanting to try this rp here as I had attempted it on another forum however we didn't get very far due to the person backing out. Hopefully here is a better place for it.
**This will include a portion of the story so you understand the plot better**
"Listen to me, very... carefully" he said, staring at him with cold, piercing blue eyes. "We cannot leave this-" The man interrupted him, "You are responsible for keeping order in the camp. For the Tribe." The Chief stared down the man who was calmly asking for the tribe to be moved. "Chief, please... Think about this very carefully. There is food, plenty there, and Shelter." "But there is no Protection. They plan to wipe out this land that belongs to us. This family, this tribe, has fought for it for 50 years." The Chief sighed, "We cannot leave this place." The man stood there, and without saying anything more, left. The Chief was a stubborn one, and would not allow the risk of moving the Tribe at the cost of the land that was fought by his family and tribe for over 50 years be taken away. It just wouldn't happen.
20 Years later...
"Liniwa, you must stay away from the Wasichu. Never cross their border, understand" the Chief spoke. The rule told to him more than a hundred times. He always broke that rule. He was curious, wanted to understand why Wasichu were hated by the Tribe. The tribal land was separated by a chainlink fence at least 7 feet high and stretched as far as the eye could see. Over that fence was a College, next to it was an Elementary school. Liniwa watched the older Wasichu and how they interacted. As for the younger Wasichu, he learned from them. English mainly, as well as other things. So you could say his knowledge was of an Elementary Student. But he was also one who had to keep out of sight. Course it didn't bother him much since nobody ever came near the fence, or even looked in the direction. The Wasichu were surely told to stay away. It made Liniwa feel like a caged animal, one who wanted to explore and be free. Then again, he did have freedom, just not on the other side of that fence, as he was forbidden. The Wasichu would take him, lock him away of some sort. So he often sat alone, watching them pass by. His eyes however, always stayed glued to one Wasichu in particular, and she was beautiful in his eyes.
-------------------------------------
Plot: Liniwa is of a Native American/Indian tribe that has a strict rule that prohibits being close to or near Wasichu (taker for the fat or greedy one/White) and also prevents him from crossing the 'border' that separates them. The tribe fought for the land for over 70 years and plan to keep it and refuse to move. He was told that the Wasichu were dangerous, and to stay away. But one girl caught his eye. What happens when he becomes curious and befriends her, breaking the rules and thrown on a wild and crazy journey that could hinder both their people?
My character:
Name: Liniwa (Means Bison)
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Personality: Full of Curiosity and Caution, Liniwa is a individual who tends to break a lot of rules, or one in particular. He puts his knowledge to good use and tries to find ways around him getting in trouble. As well as being curious, he can also be shy and afraid. But once you get to know him, he's a somewhat nice guy who protects those he cares about. Sometimes he's a bit clumsy but he knows what he's doing, sometimes.
Appearance:
Wears buckskin shirt, pants and Moccassins. Carries a leather Medicine Bag that he stores precious jewelry and anything he can use for medicine.
Bio: Born and raised by his loving father and mother that were in the Tribe. His father was the man that was speaking to the Chief at one point, and during that time, left the tribe and his family behind. His mother raised him for a good 3 years until she fell ill. Passing away when Liniwa was 5, he was soon raised by the Chief himself, though he doesn't consider him his father. He liked to hang out with the Elders and learn about Medicine. He was also into making Jewelry and carving. He had grown up into a healthy, young man who works hard. Though he does have his fair share of disobedience, running off to hang out near the Border where he watches the Wasichu and try to understand their way of life and why the Chief doesn't approve of it and remains on protecting the Tribal land.
