Whoa, this blew up overnight. Literally. Ok, here we go.

@Cinderella Man Approved, but one question: what is it? :)

@Experiment 249 Not as fierce as he looks! Very interesting. :) Approved.

@TimeToRP I'm honored that you're interested, but this is not the RP for you. :) If I may offer some advice, since you're new: check out the Free forum, and look for roleplays marked "Anime" and "Fandom." You'll find plenty of RPs with your same interests. I must decline your application here, but please do not be discouraged from finding another RP you'll be happy in. :)

@Mr_pink pre-approved, of course!

@WatermelonTango also pre-approved!

@drewccapp You and your murderers. ;) Approved, please copy to the Characters tab. Though I'm not sure how eager Kettle would be to invite a mad murderer on her expedition, I'm sure there's a very good reason. XD

@Gareth A charming rogue, excellent. Approved -- please copy to the Characters tab.

@AiyvaGuard Excellent, a kind healer! Approved, please copy to the Characters tab. As WatermelonTango said, for the PC relatioship just @Mention another player whose character intrigues you, and explain a reason your two characters know one another. :)

Notes for Everyone

---

You can have as many PC relationships as you want, and you're welcome to develop those relationships as much as you like. Also, Kettle is female. ;D

Lantern

It is to be expected of the psycho princess, to destroy all who oppose her. A fine queen she will make, one day. ;D

STONES

I'l say I'm interested if you're still accepting. I'm assuming most of the playable races in DnD are allowed?

@Experiment 249

Absolutely still accepting! And yes, DnD playable races are definitely allowed. :)

STONES

[@Mokely] Can I be a bunny or somethin?

@TimeToRP

When you say bunny, you mean bunny? Little long-eared thing with whiskers, likes carrots?

I don't think so. Check out the Characters section of the Guidelines -- characters are going to be expected to have goals, interact with NPCs and the environment, and move the plot forward. Posts will generally be two paragraphs, give or take.

I don't think a bunny can do that, sorry.

STONES

Ok, how many characters are there right now? If I may be so bold as to ask. (Planning a c.s. myself if that's alright.)

@Gareth

(that is quite a grand idea!)

Right now we're expecting three other characters to be transferred from the interest check. So, including you we will have five plus the NPC.

We'll keep it open to however many want to join, though -- inevitably there will be some people who drop out early.

STONES

@t2wave Well, she certainly is unique! Surely, scoot her on over to the Characters tab!

Anyone can feel free to post characters directly to the Characters tab -- I don't plan on rejecting anyone who's interested enough to make a character. :) I'll let you know when you're approved, which generally isn't long.

The IC is not ready for posting yet, by the way! There'll be a first actual post once we've got a head count.

STONES is open for new characters

Hey guys. Guys! OOC is here!

A Crumpled Letter Arrives

---

You’ve just received a letter from Kettle, an old acquaintance of yours. She is an anthropologist, a painter, a scholar of mythology and the founder of the Potoo Preservation Association; she has traveled to every corner of the planet, and claims friendship with quite a few talented and curious people. Several of those prominent acquaintances might have received the same sort of letter -- typed by a faulty typewriter on the back of a menu for the wild and remote Blunderbuss Cafe, delivered in a wax-sealed envelope by a dubious messenger -- which read thusly:

Salutations! It has been quite awhile since we’ve spoken, hasn’t it? I do hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits; and if it does not, I hope to brighten your day just a tad with this note. I believe myself to be on the cusp of a revolutionary discovery, one that may shatter the current boundaries of scientific possibility, and I’d like you to be a part of it. You’ll find me at the reverse location on the fifth of March, if you’re up for a bit of fame and fortune. Please tell no one where you’re going, and use the utmost secrecy in your travels. Watch out for magpies. Yours, Kettle

NPCs

NAME: Kettle (and Grom, the cameldragon)

ABSTRACT:
A tireless traveler with an insatiable (and sometimes perilous) curiosity

INTENT:
To know everything. Everything.

FIRST ADVENTURE:
Kettle grew up on the plains with a nomad tribe of goatherds, so really one might say she was born into adventure. But the first true adventure was the day little Kettle chased a goat into the crevasse between the Rusty Cliffs, and saw a gryphon perched on a ledge overhead. She climbed that rock, scruffy and barefoot, while the goat bleated warnings below, until she reached the ledge where the gryphon sat. As soon as she crawled close, the beautiful beast took flight and escaped -- but before her was a magnificent ruby sunset she never would have seen from the ground. From that day forward she sought out every new thing she could find, determined to see for herself everything there was to see.

Character Creation

---

During gameplay, characters will always surprise you: they'll make decisions you never expected, they'll whip out skills you didn't know they had, they'll get into all sorts of trouble you never anticipated during the CS phase. Therefore, players are encouraged to keep their sheets simple and open-ended.

NAME:

ABSTRACT:
Write one sentence to define your character.

INTENT:
Tell us your character's deepest desires.

FIRST ADVENTURE:
Describe the first time your character went out on an adventure of their own.

HOW DO YOU KNOW KETTLE?
Tell us how your character first met Kettle and how well they know her, for better or for worse.

WHY DID KETTLE PICK YOU?
Describe your character's strongest trait, which may or may not be a skill; remember there is no magic whatsoever, and there will be very little combat in this rp.

HOW DO YOU KNOW [insert character name]?
Pick another player's PC and describe how your characters are acquainted, for better or for worse; you may have as many of these as you like. @Mention the character's player in the OOC so they know who their character knows.
