The Broken Drum - Casual drop-in chat for out-of-work adventurers

The young minstrel neared the end of his song just after the Goron had finished his dance. The tune began to slow down and he stopped singing lyrics to accompany them. His eyes then opened slowly, pulling out of his own musical trance. For a split second, as he was opening his eyes, light shined from deep within them, but by the time his eyes were fully open, the light had faded.

Just as he regained his sound mind, the young minstrel looked over to see a plump pair of breast just a seat away from him at the bar. This sight took him off guard causing him to jump a little in his seat. It took all he had to look away, leaving him awkwardly staring in the exact opposite direction, at nothing in particular. He hoped this staring off into space read as stoic and mysterious rather than a blatant attempt to hide his surprise.

@SimplyJohn
Realizing that he couldn't just stare off forever, the young minstrel pulled out the immaculate gem that the Goron had given him earlier and placed it on the counter. "Here you go barkeep. I hope this qualifies as a tip! Peace be with you!"

He then hopped down from his bar stool and started walking to the door, playing another strange tune, inspired by some blue tinted grass that he saw one day. Just as he stopped playing music to open the door, it hit him; he hadn't found out why he recognized the young beauty at the bar. Not to ruin his classy exit, the minstrel decided to let this question stay a mystery. He walked out the door, shutting it behind him, his music fading into the night.

I love how you handled your edit, with making him grow to dislike violence through first hand experiences. I PM'd you about a couple little grammar issues, but otherwise, you may now take flight and show us what you got in the IC thread! :)

@Nallore
So yours was a rough one, with Hera being a goddess of marriage and birth, having your human character becoming pregnant would almost work against you. BUT she is having this baby outside of wedlock and will presumably be a single mother, or perhaps the baby might not make it through the coma. Either way, you make it totally work in your favor.

In other words, I approve! Get to postin' darlin! :D

@Impaqt
Your opening post is very well done! Touching, descriptive, and perfectly in line with the guidelines. I look forward to seeing more from you. :)

@Aphrodite stuck inside the body of a blind child that grew up homely on the streets!? Nice work! Perfect execution of the mirror image requirement!

Character Approved! Post in the IC thread whenever you like.

And give the poor girl her eyesight back if you want. Not that you have to do that; that's up to you, but I'm betting that's the direction you've already chosen. :)

@LokiLeo789

I thoroughly aprove of your character. I appretiate how you made your character a slacking intellectual rather than a hands on hard worker. Way to nail the mirror image requirement!

You're free to post whenever you like.

Hey everybody. Im going into work now. I'm not going to be very active for the next 9 hours or so. I may still check in on my break and approve IC ready characters, (if I get a break)

Olympus Falls

That's okay @Genni. Best of luck in everything. :)

@Genni

It's okay that you wrote out you god's history, but you really didn't have to do that. A simple link would have been good as well. But regarding your human character, I don't see in what ways she strongly contrasts the Leto. Please edit her biography to make that more clear. Also, I didn't want a photo of a person in either picture, but if you can't find another picture, I could reluctantly make an exception.

Thank you lady @Genni! :)

@Genni

That sure is one impressive way of reserving your god choice. Please create a character sheet as soon as you are able. :)
