Quille

"Mmhmm," was Quille's quiet reply, tilting her head slightly to watch the short girl (was she a child? Children could do junior jobs, right?) talk to a Hundi and resume… demanding people let her past. Loudly. Maybe if she went over there and picked her up, it would help and she might get enough gratitude to have the girl explain…

Ah, but if she was a child, she might miss things. The procedures were probably slightly different for picking up small jobs versus something with actual danger to it, or more complicated goals. Best to leave her alone, then.

"Quille," the elf responded, paying enough mind to the conversation to respond to a name – if not in any detail (and she'd definitely get in trouble for forgetting later – but not to add any detail. Or, by appearances, do anything about the tail around her ankle. Although the stifled twitch of the foot in question, the way one of her hands stretched for a knife… she'd noticed, just discounted it as a problem. Or didn't want to basically tread on someone's toes.

Quille

It was Day Two of Quille's observation of the functioning of the guild. Day one had yielded less insights than the elf had helped, borne by one simple fact: she had spent most of it slumped over at one of the tables wondering when her head would stop feeling like it was trapped in a cave-in. By the time she had mostly recovered, everything that she had wanted further information on had slowed to a crawl, and she spent the remainder of the day taking care of her knives and being awkwardly aware that she had a tab running up in the background.

At least nobody had made her pay for the drinks on that first night. It would have been so much worse.

The point of interest was to see how jobs were claimed. Adventuring was rarely a solo profession – although exceptions existed, anyone going down in song for reasons other than a glorious death could likely clear anything short of that dragon job alone – and so the questions on her mind were: did everyone arrange groups for an individual job or were they all lasting teams? Was it a mix? And did some people just sign their name up and see who else came along until they hit the body count?

She wasn't making much headway from observation. Most of the experienced adventurers were smart enough to not crowd the board and just sent one person up, and there was too much noise for Quille to reliably overhear any single team. Even without this large lamia had come over and struck up a conversation that the dark elf carried on without really focusing on it, she'd not been able to pick up much beyond the occasional objection to going on another orc-clearing mission.

… honestly, that was terrible civic pride. Everyone's first duty was to exterminate Hidroroth's vermin.

Maybe she should stop hanging back by the bar and just ask the receptionists? Even if they were rather overwhelmed at the moment.

@Taka -Sigh-

Please don't. You're not getting accepted. The last time you tried to join one of Vita's RP's, you asked one question, didn't say anything for a year, then posted an incomplete bio that didn't fit, and when you were asked to talk to us first, you… said nothing for a month, for some reason edited the bio, and then never brought it up again.

And as it stands, what you've submitted here is an empty shell of a character that's just "generic martial arts archetype". A sheet of paper has more flavour.

I present to you, a height chart of many, many Draph girls (for reference). And some other random ones:

Beware, Shortstacks

Your guess is as good as mine why they worked out the chest measurements, though.

Fediel on the end shows what happens if you scale them up to the male height, it's hilarious.

Sword and Dungeon: An Adventurer's Guild-based Fantasy RP

@VitaVitaAR Yes, you're accepted. xD

The Metian Institute: Project Gungnir

Military goods; of course. There was unlikely to be anything else up here – her full expectation was that this would be an old base and their biggest danger further in would be, regardless of who established it, a lack of correct identification to disable any automated defences.

"These alternative entrances; they still lie on this side of the border, correct?" Cellica asked, inspecting the alternative entrances. If one of them was in danger of collapsing, it shouldn't be too much of a problem to reinforce it and hold it open; the difficult part ought to be transporting materials to the dig site itself. Not doing so was more likely to come back to haunt them in the future.

But this second entrance, the catwalk… it ought to be easy enough to correspond to the surface maps, and from there to the border. The last thing they needed was to be prepared for a dangerous environment and to be caught trespassing by the Eryndreal patrols.

"Additionally, is there a reason to take these side passages, in light of the additional dangers represented?" If the main entrance was hackable, it would seem the reasonable option to wait until it was opened normally and proceed from there. But if their provisions were more limited than the elf had come to believe or if there was difficulty securing a longer permit…

@Ogo So... the big, very big, thing is that Aessyr are all female. It's one of the things that defines them as Aessyr. Which makes this bio kind of awkward on that front.

Beyond that it's all kind of... unnecessarily dark and edgy? I know you asked if fairy stuff is useful for magic, and it is, but that doesn't mean wizards tend towards the suicidal insanity of slavery and torture.

I believe Anno has some extra thoughts, but as it stands, I'm not accepting this.

@Yankee@Taka Given that these are a pair, Anno and I are taking a bit longer to think about it.

Three more characters. And Anno's.

Looks good to me, now, at least they're not both focusing on being infinitely absent minded.

Sword and Dungeon: An Adventurer's Guild-based Fantasy RP

Okay, bio time~

@Pyromania99 Looks good to me, accepted

@Dark Light There's… quite a bit here that still needs work, starting with the picture; using an official piece of art from something else is strange enough, but it doesn't even fit the notion of a half high-elf. The imp doesn't even have a picture, but you've never asked in detail about demons, so that's probably for the better.

But for the most part? The character concept is just full of ideas that haven't been fully pulled together. Who's his father and does that tie into anything else going on? What was his mother running from? Why did things burn down? Why, when everything was on fire and presumably people are being killed, does he have a "special sword"? I'd also add that a court mage is not a position that's going to be treated like a common servant and replaceable, because it's not something any old person can fill – it wouldn't stop mistreatment, but it wouldn't be "treated like peasant scum" because then you find yourself without a mage. Or on fire.

Abilities and equipment section is really barebones. Why is the sword special? What sort of curses? If he's an enchanter, why doesn't have have anything he's enchanted? It's really odd.

@SilverPaw Couple of things, mostly pretty minor:

Never mind that he had an elder, more competent sister, for tradition dictated heirs be male

Nooooot true in this setting; inheritance is equal, so it would go to the eldest regardless.

The term for a casting implement is a catalyst, but that's just informational. What's really odd about the equipment is… uh, why a machete? Why is his backup a farming implement of all things? It's a bit… odd to have as a "just in case" thing, the deep forest isn't something you really wander into by accident, and it just jars with his whole noble vibe.

Main thing though is whether we could reduce the personality overlap just a bit somehow? Two guys with basically the same personality is a bit uncanny.
