A Prized bride (The return)

@Obscene Symphony Oh, Alright.

@Nevix

^_^ I suppose it's not 100% imperative (if you want to make a teenager go for it, as long as he acts like one) but generally recommended.

EDIT: I'm happy with that!

Alright, it's 2 am. I'm off!

A Prized bride (The return)

@Nevix Damn, he's a child still! I'd recommend putting at least 100 years under his belt. It's essentially the equivalent of ~20 for humans.

The Griffin Insurrection

@Kaylan The Lioness Hmmmm could do a former member of the Empire or perhaps a prisoner of the Griffins. The thing is that since your character would be the only one not in the rebellion, they might not have much to do.

@smarty0114

OOOH a prisoner sounds fun! If it's a prisoner please let me interrogate him! ^_^

A Prized bride (The return)

@Nevix Shit that was fast, I'll let you know if you need to change anything.

[@aganetmanatee] I just narcissistically re-read my post and damn, my writing used to be decent. I wonder what happened XD Can't wait to see Loofa back in action.

@WilsonTurner Are we the co-GMs now?

A Prized bride (The return)

@Obscene Symphony I get back on friday, 7 days 6 nights, it's fun! Thanks for being willing to wait

Also did Lienna murder someone in the reboot? I haven't read it yet...

@agentmanatee

Rynek gave her a dagger and told her basically to kill a Drakken guard, whom he essentially let drag her off. I think it was to test her in some way? Anyway she ended up literally biting buddy's jugular out while pretending to kiss his neck. Very proud of that post. Sparked a big OOC discussion which ended in the conclusion that yes, human teeth could bite out a jugular. ^_^ it's a scene I've been dying to write for a while!

A Prized bride (The return)

@agentmanateeAlright, good to know. I'll see if I can't get started on a character, but don't wait up for me.

@Nevix

The thing about the Drakken is that even the merciful ones are really brutal. They're raised in such a way that even mercy is hardcore. I'd recommend reading some of Torin and Tyrai Hellsong's posts in the reboot - if I remember correctly, Torin had the hardcore merciful thing down pretty well for the mood of the story.

roleplayerguild.com/topics/83336-reboo.. Hope that helps!

@agentmanatee we can wait. Some time to get all the sheets in order and talk to each other is good anyway. How long's your trip? Have fun!

A Prized bride (The return)

@agentmanatee Is it possible to play a Gem male? Or is it only Gem brides and Drakken nobles?

@Nevix

Possible, but it would be pretty boring since you wouldn't be involved with most of the RP so consider it wisely, I'd say.
If you were to make one, what role would he play? Depending upon that I could try and help you fit him in.

Also YES I AM HERE I was in all incarnations of this thing, right from the beginning ^_^ I think I'm also an unofficial co-GM of this one? @agentmanatee Was that ever solidified?

@Obscene Symphony

Sorry, it's my habit.
But I'll try to fix it- maybe you should fix your signature then too

@MissCapnCrunch

The difference is, my signature is a short phrase that no one needs to read for any important information. Along the same vein, bits of italicized text in writing for emphasis are fine as well. Unfortunately, entire OOC posts in italics are very straining on my eyes to read (it's hard to focus on). Hell, default text (white on black) is bad enough as it is. It glows and smears in my vision, and the italics only make that problem worse. I'd really appreciate the effort.

I guess I'll get started on my twins ^_^

bio

Bio:
Lienna was born to a poor single mother outside a Gem village in the far North, where the land never thawed and the sea, a blanket of ice. Though they were Water gems, just like almost everyone in the village, they were outcasts; the highly superstitious townspeople thought Lienna's mother a fool for not drowning her child when she showed signs of beauty. They believed that beautiful daughters brought the Drakken upon the village, thus more likely to Reap from them again, and believed that killing a beautiful infant was more humane a fate than the possibility of being Reaped. In hindsight, Lienna believes that they may have been right.

From the get-go Lienna was taught to be self-reliant, not out of necessity, but out of her mother’s need to have a child who could fare well on her own. Looking back, Lienna figures that her mother saw the Reaping coming, and predicted that Lienna may be chosen. She went so far to teach her about the Drakken gods )under the guise that she learn about all of Vivari's children, not just the good ones) and even some basic knowledge of the Drakken tongue. Lienna always knew, deep down, that her mother was preparing her for Reaping, hoping that this knowledge would help preserve her. Of course, she loved her daughter with all her might, and did her best to teach her how to be strong.
“A strong woman makes choices to improve her life and the lives of others, no matter what those choices may be,” she’d always said, “A strong woman will never give up, not even when all hope is lost and everything is dark and broken.”

The village in which they lived was very religious, and Lienna and her mother were no different. They held strong faith with Naia, the goddess of Water. Her mother taught her many things about her goddess and her faith, but perhaps the most resounding of her mother's lessons was this:

"Water always finds a way."

This became a mantra for Lienna as she faced life’s natural challenges, but never did she truly understand what those words meant until the Reaping.
On the day she was taken, Lienna shared tearful goodbyes with her mother, and while she loathed the idea of becoming a bride to a monster, her mother convinced her to go willingly. Lienna obeyed, knowing that it would be easier on everyone just to cooperate. However, her mother did leave her one remnant of home; into Lienna’s hands she thrust a tiny ivory statue of an owl with shining amethyst eyes (a small idol of Naia and also the symbol of her family).

Lienna identifies with water in every sense. She has always been calm and as wise as a young lady can be without age to help her, as well as a free spirit with a gentle hand and a harsh, yet tolerant temper. She has always taken life's challenges in stride, with the phrase in her mind, "Water always finds a way."

Other:
Lienna has some trouble with reading and numbers, as she never had the opportunity to go to school or access many books. She fears that her illiteracy might get her into trouble. Her preferred use of her elemental magic is freezing water into ice, and her pale white hair/skin and strange eyes are due to albinism, making her look somewhat odd, but posing as a rare beauty nonetheless.
