Middle-Earth: The Fifth Age

Is there still space in this roleplay? I didn't put interest earlier because I wasn't sure what the exact premise is, but having read through the ooc I'm interested :)

The Dirt Town Orphans - animeish, high fantasy gang RP [Always accepting]

Fritz’s Room, Dirt Town Orphanage

Nim stood off against one of the walls of the room, watching carefully from the shadows. She wasn’t the type that liked to be right up with the crowds of other people. As much as she would have liked to see Fritz before he passed, or even as he did, it hadn’t been worth pushing through the other children. Now that they were wailing? Definitely not.

It wasn’t that Nim wasn’t sad. Tears ran down her cheeks, her emotions clearly readable for once. She was still only eleven and unlike some of the older kids didn’t need to keep up appearances and didn’t care that anyone would see her crying (though she was hidden well enough). She wasn’t about to break her normal quietness by wailing, however. That just seemed futile. Fritz was dead and it wasn’t going to bring him back.

She wasn’t looking forward to being on the streets again. It was undoubtedly what would end up happening – as young as she may be she knew the gangs wouldn’t respect this area as an orphanage anymore. The streets would probably be safer than just staying here.

Nim noticed one of the older orphans speaking to Mary, Zahn if she recalled correctly, and strained to hear what he was saying over the wailing of the young children. When she couldn’t catch more than a word she shrugged, giving up. It was time to leave the room anyway, she was beginning to feel just a little bit on edge with so many people around.

Keeping to the edge of the room Nim made it to the door and slipped out, still staying in the shadows. Outside she found three more of the older children and moved slightly closer to them – to listen to what they were saying, trying to stay unnoticed. It wasn’t that she was feeling particularly nosy but if they managed to organise themselves, or even any of the others, she’d tag along.

As much as she may not love other people’s company Nim knew it would be better for her to stick with others.

Nim

Nim is short and unassuming, standing at only 4’7”. Her hair is short, dark and scrawny – her eyes equally as dark. She, unlike many others, looks mostly human. From the waist up she is perfectly normal. From the waist down her legs are covered in thick feathers, a deep brown like her other features. Her feet are only slightly misshapen with toenails more claw-like than normal.

Name: Nim

Age:11

Gender: Female

Background: Nim has vague memories of having parents, and knows that she ended up on the street by the time she was 5 – but she cannot remember how or why. Her parents might be dead, or may have abandoned her. She knows she was old enough to survive. She doesn't remember what her parents called her, but adopted the name Nim as it's part of the word nimble - and she's pretty nimble. As it is for everyone Nim’s life on the street was difficult – but she fell in with a small group of other kids. In fact she got a bit of a reputation with them for being faster, and nimbler, than all the others which meant she was perfect for stealing. Indeed she found she was quite good at this. She lived on the streets this way for a while. It wasn’t until she slipped up, almost caught in the act, that things got more tough – stealing from a gang member wasn’t the smartest idea. It was while on the run that she was found by Fritz and taken in to the orphanage.

Nim is a quiet and somewhat withdrawn child. It is not that she is shy, because she certainly is not, just that she prefers to observe and not talk. Indeed she always seems to be watching – even if it’s inappropriate. Not that she knows when it’s not okay to just stare at something. She is untrusting, though most kids who lived on the streets are, and unlikely to just easily become friends with someone. While independent she wouldn’t necessarily choose to strike out on her own if it more sensible to stay with others. She also won’t take leadership, but won’t bend easily to the wills of others. Nim is aloof from others, and is difficult to read (by design). Nim certainly isn’t cold hearted, but she isn’t the kindest person either.

Equipment: Two knives, a few pins

Level: 1

Attribute: Finesse

Skills: Observant: Nim is good at noticing things that others don’t due to watching people, and her surroundings, carefully. This means that she might notice when something is amiss earlier than others or a small detail of someone’s facial expression. She would be more likely to notice someone pulling out a knife, say.

Theft: Due to being fast, and nimble, and living on the streets Nim is quite good at stealing. She mostly pickpocketed but also stole from shops and similar. She still practice stealing at the orphanage (but always put things back) just to make sure that she doesn’t get out of practice.

Climbing: Nim is good at climbing, enjoying scaling walls and just being in tall places. It lets her see more and is also handy for a quick getaway. Often she’ll be found climbing into various small spaces in the orphanage, using it as a way to find places to hide.

Affinity: Dark

Gift: Nim’s gift is basically shadow manipulation, though currently to a simple degree. If she is in a shadowed place she can use shadows to allow her to blend in, essentially using the shadows to coat and hide herself – and if she is close enough to a shadow she can extend it towards her.

Princess Elaisse

Princess Elaisse of Slibah

_{{ ”I will follow what I am told to do, but I only hope it does not ruin my life.” }}

| Nickname |

Ela, El

Bisexual

| Kingdom |

Slibah

| Alliance |

To Slibah, and the current King of Slibah - and with that her family.

| In Depth Appearance |

Standing at 5’2” Elaisse is relatively short. She could certainly be described as pretty, if not necessarily beautiful – but she has a year or two to grow into that. She is slender with slight curves. Nothing particularly special there. Her hair is a dark brown and wavy. It falls to midway down her back where she most often lets it sit loose with only a few sections pulled back. Ela has light blue-grey eyes that complement her dark hair well. She will always be found wearing dresses, mostly in elegant designs suited to her rank. However sometimes she will wear something simpler if an activity requires it.

| Habits |

Fiddling with hair
Smoothing out her skirts
Rubbing her cheek, especially when talking
Picking at her hands and skin

| Personality |

Elaisse is softly spoken, often more in the background than at the forefront of any conversation. She prefers the company of only a few people and struggles with larger groups – which can be difficult considering her status. Though shy Elaisse is quite friendly and finds it quite easy to get along with people. This is maybe partly down to how easy-going and agreeable she is. Even though she can struggle to talk in certain situations Ela always tries to be polite.

When she is in her element Elaisse will open up a bit. Though mature for her age of fifteen she is bright and cheerful when doing the things she enjoys more. When with family or others she knows well she is quite animate, finding it easier to talk. She is quite emotional and struggles to not let her emotions show even when it would be better to hide them.

As a Princess, Ela doesn’t exactly act spoiled – however she is definitely naïve. She knows very little of the life outside her own. What she does know is from the books she loves to bury herself in. While smart she is also quite innocent which means it is quite easy to take advantage of her. However, she is quick to learn. She is also very far from ambitious. If anything Ela is the opposite; she will follow those that she is loyal to without questioning it. She doesn’t have much will of her own out with of a wish to live a peaceful life. Though she is slowly beginning to grow more confident with the thought of voicing her own opinions as opposed to being entirely passive.

| Background |

The daughter of the current King and Queen of Slibah, Elaisse grew up want for nothing. Her life so far has been an easy one. She spent her time devoutly studying to be a Princess, and future wife of some noble. She picked up most things easily enough, not minding needlework or music. Some others she struggled with, such as dancing. Even as a younger child she enjoyed sketching, using a quill and ink to draw some kind of random design – quite often around letters.

Ela didn’t spend much time with those outside of her family or a few noble ladies closer to her age often. Out with of the required social gatherings she tended to keep more to herself. As a result she managed to avoid most kinds of gossip and scandal. She is unlikely to get involved in anything romantic until marriage, which is something that works perfectly fine for her.

Not much has happened in her fifteen years of life, sheltered as she was from the war and other happenings. It is not something she is particularly looking to change anytime soon.

Luca

~ Name ~

Luca Corvi

~ Appearance ~



~ Personality ~

Positive Traits:
Kind
Energetic

Negative Traits:
Quite irresponsible / impulsive

[+]

Luca is a friendly soul, one who enjoys time around other people the most. On the outside he is always bright and energetic, quick to talk and make others feel better where he can. Though kind and caring, not a person who would purposefully hurt another, he can often not properly think through what he says and can inadvertently cause offence. Along with that the way he acts can be very in people's face and overwhelming. Though very person orientated Luca tries not to depend on others, more because he wants to keep up the facade that he is always full of energy and not show how he actually feels. Just looking at him you wouldn't have thought that he was affected at all by not normally developing magic, though of course it was something he struggled with growing up - he just did it alone. Luca is also easily distracted and has a habit of never properly thinking things, meaning that he can do something on an impulse and have it blow up on his face. His quick reactions can help him here but it doesn't change the fact that he rarely goes into something with a plan, even when he should. It's not to say he isn't sensible, just likely to do something on a whim. Even with this if he finds something he really likes Luca will get stuck into it.

~ History ~

Luca was a cheerful child, born to two incredibly intelligent parents (even by current time standards) and with one older brother. He got on well with his family and was especially close to his brother, Sebastian. He was always a little bit odd, his high energy meant he struggled to just sit down and pursue the kinds of sciences a child was expected to have an interest in. Instead he would rather be running about, learning how to cartwheel and climbing whatever he could. His parents put up with it - they assumed that he would grow out of it, and all of his teachers thought it was the oddity of a blossoming genius. Between this and his bright personality he had no lack of friends. And he was smart, he just had no urge to act on it.

Slowly everyone his age began developing powers, and it seemed like everyday someone came in with one. Luca's brother had developed his own earlier than most, and Luca had looked forward to being one of the first in his class. But soon he was only one left without them. He was yet to go through the physical changes of puberty, though, so maybe he was just a slow developer? But the power never came. It came as a shock to all; after all who didn't develop powers? His parents tried everything to find out what was wrong as Luca slowly lost what friends he had, ostracized from most of the society. He bore it with a grin, though, only breaking down when spending time with Sebastian - the one person who stuck with him through it. He had no motivation to be academic before his power didn't develop, and even less after. Refusing to go to college caused a massive argument with his parents but he got his way. After all they had essentially given up hope on him and focused all their ambitions on his brother.

Luca got a simple job, baking, and threw himself into it. He found he enjoyed it if he tried at least and tried not to let the stigma get to him. He channelled his energy into a similar sportiness he'd had as a child - after all what did it matter if he did one more thing that wasn't approved of? It wasn't exactly an amazing life, but it couldve been worse.
