Keen to see if this CS gets the thumbs up or down. Already, I can see a few things I want to tweak O_O *eyetwitch* lol
Thank you for your patience, soul! The only time I can find to write, at the moment, is when I should be sleeping. Please let me know of any errors and the like, because this is bound to have a few T__T And for the record, you are a fantastic GM! From the get-go, it was easy to feel that this was one to follow for the ages - however long that may be. By seeing how well written and thought-out the dragon profiles are, which are fine accompaniments to this amazing story, I am assured that the time and effort invested into this will be rewarded tenfold. Oh, and I may request to add another skillability to this profile. Still debating whether or not it's necessary... Anyway, here's our application:
Name: Cairene Maja
Age: 24
Appearance:
Personality:
From the outset, her elegant air and extravagant mannerisms highlight an obvious appreciation for beauty. But while her perspectives are aesthetic by default, they are more a superficial product of something deeper; an intrinsic tendency to seek out the better qualities in people; optimism veiled by vanity. Being as passionate as she is, the fine line between feisty and outspoken is often danced upon, with every emotion mapped out clearly on her face and form. When it comes to communicating her thoughts, however, she prefers to be coy. Dishonesty is abhorrent in her eyes. She conversates comfortably with strangers, allies and enemies alike, and finds it easy to read into people’s moods. Even though she maintains that she is staunchly independent, she does enjoy the company of others. Although, this is initially for the entertainment value, rather than true fellowship. For an adventurous free-spirit, she is surprisingly resolute, dedicating everything in her being to a cause if it agreed with her strong opinions. Cairene could be a warm and friendly person, if her sardonic laughter wasn’t almost always accompanied by an attempt to insult, rather than charm.
Backstory:
Whether it was the constant boredom that drove her, or the early tellings of a confident mind, as a child, Cairene was always getting up to mischief. Her feats were far from destructive, but she was a bane on her carers, nonetheless. If a cordoned area was found to have a door or window unlocked, and the dust on its floors disturbed, she was the usual suspect. Numerous times, staff or villagers searching for missing valuables sought out her known stockpiles before approaching the authorities. She left the orphanage as a haughty teen with a terrible reputation, narrowing her options to only two of the usual five. Being sound of body, she qualified for the jewel mines in the neighbouring valley, where the rocky outcroppings where hard to tell apart from the roaring surf and perpetual storms. In a show of premature grandeur, Cairene turned her nose up at the thought of hard labour, and selected the other, ‘softer’ approach.
Regrets swarmed in by the dozen, and she was soon yearning for the damp caverns and razor-toothed caverns, having found more and more reasons to loathe men. She lived where she worked, in a poorly managed establishment renown for its lax approach to law enforcement, and morality overall. For three years, she tended to the whims and fancies of humanity’s underbelly, revisiting her old habits and gaining back some of her childhood notoriety. Cairene had learned that the stronger her influence was, the easier it became to pickpocket and steal from a client. When at last she had coveted enough gold and trinkets, she bribed her way onto a merchant ship and sailed towards a new lifestyle. For the next couple of years, she would grow to become an infamous thief, evading capture thanks to her careful target selections and strategy. Coincidentally, shortly after the reporting of a major theft, a substantial donation would find its way to the nearest chapel.
Skills/Abilities:
Chameleon - Cairene is a master of disguises, capable of altering her appearance in accordance with a particular role; adopting personality or cultural traits to blend into surroundings, or further enhance her physical guise. She can also apply these talents to hide herself using the surrounding terrain, camouflaging her person and dwelling so that they mimic aspects of it.
Attunement - Sensitive to more wavelengths of sound than the average human, enabling her to detect movements; deduce its source and proximity to her. It allows her to more effectively control and mask the sounds of her own body; essentially, a tool for stealth.
Diamond heart - For short periods of time, the skeletal cage surrounding her vital organs expands and hardens, forming a protective case. It can only withstand so many attacks before the bone-matter weakens and ultimately retracts into its original state. Her overall bone strength improves, as well, reducing the chances of breakage. There is a time limit moderating its duration and the periods needed between to recharge. Her pain threshold is raised, and although this is a secondary effect, it is the main reason she uses this skill.
Twin daggers - In melee combat, she dual-wields these effectively to swiftly strike, stab and slash at an opponent. They are also her ideal weapon when moving stealthily to dispose of or disable the enemy. Her movements show glimpses of her time as a dancer; they are harmonic, fluent and agile; geared for offense and evasion.

Oooookay. I'm just waiting on Nyxella's CS, working on an IC OP, Ghirardelli; YES, i'm writing a new one. FROM SCRATCH. lol. Just have to fix up your CS draex, and Crank, I love your character. Good depth, she'll be a great addition. :)
Sorry Soul, I'll have it up in a bit! 'two days ago' - eeek, slowing up progress already -__-;

Nyxella- Damn girl where the hell are you we should do something before you go AWOL for stretches of a time
Jerkacherk, 'sup! Maybe this new site won't suffer from my old habits? Lololol.
Well, found him^, also trying to reconnect with:
The cast of Dervish's and OlNoSoul's "Vengeance of the Deep" roleplay. Witty, Fallout, Cairo, Big Drippah, Sunny D, etc... I miss you guyyys!! Currently out of Steam, so please get in touch if you're among the living.
Chrononaut and ClosertNerd - we had some great chats going on about roleplay ideas and radioactive, Lovecraftian mischief.
The cast from "Atreus Academy". Haemonuclus - my fellow beard afficionado, where for art thou? Mizuho, Tsubasa, and the rest. If you're out there, HELLO from the girls' dorm. A few of you went to that piratepad roleplay from Haemon's other rp idea. Lost the link because I am hopeless T_T s.o.s
If my name rings a bell - or a gong or the tiniest of chimes - bring your greetings and welcome cookies, we'll have a party! Promise to be somewhat sober'ish. I am done moping and wish for nothing more than to have this place feel like a community again

Love thiiiissss!!!

Caramelldansen - Caramell
For some unreasonable reason that even I can't begin to understand, it makes working out a lot easier? It's like audio-crack. Must be some repressed memory of once ruling the DDR5 scene...
Hey! Hey you! Guy! Hey guy! I remember seeing your name around Guild and was never one to draw boundaries between firsthand and secondhand allies, so Hi! Welcome back to the site that is so Freddy Kruger, it never truly dies. In saying that, it saddens me to see you and your pals wishing to leave over teething issues. Though, I cannot talk because I re-nested at a site recommended by, and allegedly home to, a few Guildies. In a time when this place is restored to all its showroom-worthy glory, I hope to catch your name somewhere familiar, like how it used to be. Toodles!
Jerkacherk!! You've come back, too! Oh happy day :D
Thanks for the welcome, Ridder of Shadows. Do not dismay, he is only saying that so I don't try to break things with this new Lemonader2000 I found at the ruins of our old site.
Right Darkmatter? That lovely comment was only meant to encourage others, and myself, to make ash Angels and play nice :) Thanks man. An avalanche of Q's might find its way through your door, and you'll only have yourself to blame :P

Hey Griffy! You survived the wipe, therefore it is my duty to award you with this imaginary picture of Vail heel-toeing a speeding vehicle, stitched with spun gold and void essence, courtesy of 'Dr. Jekyll'
Slice them up for your shots of tequila.
With a samurai sword if you're prone to momentary fits of intense rage like I am.
Shiny features aside, this hot pink avatar is the most impressive feature to greet me because of how incredibly relevant and fitting it is.
When you're faced with a great loss, the most natural thing to do is reflect. PBP RP has evolved exponentially over the few years I've enjoyed it as a favoured pastime, so in a sense, I became ignorant of what it was really about. When such RPs were held in IRC rooms, or recorded on pieces of paper, you saved what was precious. I can no longer see them, but I know that the stories crafted within the sphere of RPGuild are still just as precious, and although the records don't exist, the memories still do.
At the best of times, I remember little more than the perceived early bird at a bar who is actually a remnant of the week before, but whenever I see those familiar usernames and avatars, I am immediately struck with positive thoughts of that time before when we...
Here's to completing that sentence with old comrades, and creating new material with future ones.

Oh dear, you make it hard for one to resist jumping in. Please ignore that doom-flavoured speel I sent you earlier, it wouldn't be a Thing if I had read through this thread first. An application for the amethyst dragon will follow.
