The Seven Elementos

@Zombehs Eh, I'm afraid my eyes can't agree with that one. I was and still am fine with it being used for the CS, but for something I'll be seeing more consistently, I would consider it hard on the eyes.

@Scrapula Approved.

@Undine@Captain Jenno Looks good, guys~

The Seven Elementos

Hey guys-- I'd like you all to pick out a text color for when our characters speak.

They are to be used like this: "I'm Mr. Meeseeks! Look at me!" said Mr. Meeseeks.

NOT like this: "I'm Mr. Meeseeks! Look at me!" said Mr. Meeseeks. (also, please don't use this shade of red...)

There are only two rules:

1. It mustn't be hard on the eyes against the grey background (I'll have to be the judge, so I'm going to apologize ahead of time for any differences in opinion that may arise here...)

2. It can't be too similar to any colors that have already been claimed.

Here's a helpful link for choosing your colors: computerhope.com/htmcolor.htm
Please post your chosen colors here for approval. I would recommend choosing a color that's associated with your elements, but... it's not a huge deal.

Also: This (6D7B8D) is going to be the color I'm using for my character. You can enter the code or "lightslategray" in order to use it. The same goes for all the colors in that list there. Use whichever coding is easier for you to remember and let me know if you need help.

Stories from Idumea: Children of Avveel

They haven't been online in 2 days. Maybe Shikaru should go?

The Seven Elementos

@McHaggis That is definitely a possibility. Diedremere is a lot smaller than the other towns on the map, but also much bigger than your average village. This would allow for characters who live there to perhaps have "seen each other around" without actually knowing much other than maybe their name. I would suggest not having any characters be BFFs at the start, but if you want any of your characters to be a bit more acquanted, you're more than welcome to cook up some plans.

Everyone started recieving their visions at the same time, but it's possible that not everyone packed their bags and immediately went. This will be explained more in the first post, but you all will have the option of your character already being there a few days, just arriving, or perhaps not having gone at all if you think that's something your character would be more inclined to do.

The Seven Elementos

The first post will be up on Monday or Tuesday. In the meantime, you guys are free to move your character sheets to the Characters tab.

The Seven Elementos

Age: 79

Race: Elf

Gender: Female

Appearance: Similar to the picture, Rowena has long, light blonde (almost white) hair that ends just between her shoulder blades. It is slightly curly and typically pulled back in a loose, low ponytail. She has soft, almond shaped and honey colored eyes and a tattoo across each eye-- not an uncommon sight in elven culture. Also characteristic to elves, she has fair skin and sharp features that most would consider gracefully beautiful. She stands at a height of 5'11".

She wears a heavy gray-blue cloak with slits cut to accommodate her long, pointed ears. She wears light armor adorned with feathers, a gray-blue skirt, and thigh-high greaves along with a pair of sturdy, but form fitting boots. Her body is lithe and athletic-- resembling that of a healthy human woman in her early twenties.

Theme Song:

Nature: All work and no play; Rowena is a good-humored, gregarious, and spirited goofball trapped within the body of an apprentice with too many responsibilities to be anything but a nervous wreck. With the weight of her life's mission on her shoulders, she finds very little time to satisfy her unquenchable thirst for fun. Maturity came hard and fast when the war came crashing down around her at the tender age of 19. She works hard to keep her inner wants and desires under wraps, however. There are more pressing matters at hand, and-- in her selfless mind-- if her sacrifices can truly save humanity, it will have all been worth it.

Backstory: Rowena is technically a half elf-- although this description holds little to no meaning. Elven blood, at least according to the elves, is the strongest of all races. It cannot be diluted. Rowena was born to her elven mother, Patience, and human father, Henry Mulligan. Henry tragically passed away during a pre-war attack on Vevian by a group of orcs in spite of her mother's wishes for him to stay with her. This was during the time that the elves were desperately trying to warn King Antony of the impending threat. As he had for years, however, he tried to ease their worries with assurances that the army would be made 'a bit' stronger and the walls be built 'a bit' higher.

She grew up with her mother in the northern forests, deciding at a young age that she wished to join the elven guard in honor of her human father, who had been a soldier for King Antony. Rowena valued the ability to protect those who were closest to her and trained hard. Shortly after the war began and the elves went into hiding, however, her mother perished in a horrible accident that Rowena was unable to prevent.

A kind sage from her tribe took her in and made her his apprentice. She has been by his side ever since. For years she has studied various topics from weapons training and herbology to magic and legend. With the Time of Awakening at hand, she has traveled to Jeorva with her master. Disguised as humans, they are to meet with the chosen seven and begin their quest to end the reign of their evil rulers once and for all....

Goal(s): Rowena wishes to do everything within her power to see the seven elementos succeed. These are the desires she clings to. In reality, however, Rowena possesses a burning desire to travel the world and learn more about human customs. They have always intrigued her, but such a frivolous dream mustn't be pursued-- her duty comes first and, as far as she's considered, is her one and only dream for now.

@lydyn I'm not feeling attacked at all-- I just don't want anyone walking away from this with the mindset that they're a 'loser' of a competition. I just wanted to clarify in case anyone got that idea.
