Bio

I have been actively roleplaying for around 18 years now, since age 15. Which, as you might have guessed, makes me 33. I've done most of my rping on forums, averaging 2 to 4 paragraphs. Though I also LARP, and have played D&D for about 17 years. Real life has become a larger part of my life though, so my activity has lessened. Even so, I don't think I'll ever stop rping. :)

"Well, good to know you at least won't die even if I decide to use you as a chew toy." Zara replied with a slight chuckle. And indeed he didn't have to explain that last part. She was fully aware that her looks weren't exactly the worst you could find even in the city. And she was pretty much on the same mindset as him on that part. The shelter Kevin described sounded like a pretty good spot. Heck, since they would be below the normal ground level a small fire might not even be spotted. Though it was best not to take that chance with just the two of them. The man wanted to pick up pace, looking like he was having another paranoid moment. Not something Zara was a fan of, but she decided to follow suit. Her feet would be hurting again, but at least they could rest and soon after that go to sleep within an hour now.

The rest of the trip was mostly spent in silence again. Though this time with good reason as well. Voices could carry pretty far if you weren't careful, which would make them more easily discovered. Finally they went what felt like downhill. Though they reached the bottom very quickly. And on the other side the hill was going up again. It was hard to tell that they had walked into an old sink hole at all. Even with her night vision in her left eye. The large rocks and plant life made it impossible to see the edges of the pit already. Only actual underground caves or something similar seemed better than this place. "Any place I could hang up a tarp? Just in case it rains tonight." She spoke softly. It didn't seem like it would considering how clear the sky still was. But that might be quite different halfway through the night. Or even during the morning. And staying dry was important to her at least. "Also, I think I'm going to try to sleep immediately afterwards..." Exhaustion was starting to kick in, even the chill of the air not being able keep her from getting drowsy now. Plus her feet hurt like hell as she had suspected, so she wanted to lay down and not get up until the next morning again.
Kali wasn't the only one excited about game related things. Alakai just kept more quiet about it as Kali seemed to have enough excitement for them both already. He couldn't wait to get to higher level. To discover new locations, find out about new incredible creatures, and more so find out what kind of loot they might drop. That loot falling on the ground, the anticipation before finding out what it all was, it was quite exciting to him.

"If I'm not mistaken, one of the zones after this beach zone is on an island. So we could be coming back here pretty soon. Who knows." Alakai replied with a smile. He wasn't too keen on sailing, as he would get sea sick quite easily. Though in this world things might be quite different. He certainly hoped so. "Also, the first dungeon is a beach cave. So I'm sure there will be underwater parts as well." He spoke as they arrived at the town's gate. "So ah...do you want to see what the shops have to offer first? Or should we enjoy the beach first? I'm curious about what we can buy here actually..." The beach was probably wonderful during the evening as well, so either way seemed fine to him. Though it would likely be too cold to swim once it got dark. Plus, he'd prefer going to the shops first. Kali might have made him swimwear, but Alakai just wouldn't feel right wearing something like that. Though he was still working out on how to tell her that without offending her.

Chronos had to stay behind, as the stables were just outside of the wall. And no one except carts transporting goods from the ships seemed to have horses with them. Luckily the town was relatively small, so the shops were already visible from the gate. Specifically, a woodworker, a clothing store, a very large fish market, and a general merchant. Though there might be others outside of immediate view. All had their own little stalls in front of their buildings so you didn't even have to go inside to view their wares.
I never read other people's rp's. To me RPing is about writing a story together. It might be a crap story, but still. :P Though I don't mind if people read mine. The stuff I wouldn't want others to read I keep private anyway.
Plot armour of course, though that's already mentioned.

In all seriousness. I feel like I'm one of the few that prefers light armour over heavy stuff. Leather/fur, maybe light chain. That kind of thing. Which also reflects in my rp's. I LARP and I've always been more of an agility fighter, dodging and parrying attacks rather than a tank that takes the hits head on.
I've tried avoiding the edgy stuff from day one, but looking back on my earliest rp's I've done it a few times... Or if not edgy, at least cliché. After 13~14 or so years of roleplay I'd like to think I've at least improved on that aspect though. In fact, I like to mix things up a little these days, sometimes specifically making a character that's weaker than my partner's (I only keep to 1x1 rp's) and see how that goes. Makes for some interesting rping at times.
I've been LARPing since age 16. (28 now) I have one regular organization I go to which holds 3 events a year, and have tried a few other LARPs as well. For gear we use realistic looking foam weapons rather than the PVC/Wood core with round foam around it you often see. I have 2 swords, 1 mace, 1 2h axe, 1 2h sword, 2 daggers, 2 bows + 6 arrows, 3 throwing daggers, 2 shields (1 made myself), a leather armour set, a chain shirt, like 8 different costumes I can mix and match (mostly home-made.), and a tent that I can use ingame. So you could say it's a pretty big hobby of mine. :P
"Tch...I really don't like smoking while on the move..." She muttered, though decided to grab a cigarette anyway. Having any kind of light during the night was probably a problem, as even something as small as a lighter or the glow from her cigarette could be seen from very far away by someone with exceptional sight. "I'm surprised you're not afraid to get that close to someone like me." The woman replied to his suggestion to huddle up. Who would want to cuddle with someone that might very well rip their throat apart, right? Or at least that's how people saw her. Things like that didn't happen unless she was really hungry. But others always believed it could happen at any time if they got too close. It did make her a little nervous though. She was still basically just a human, with human needs. Human contact was one of those. It wasn't as if this was meant as any kind of intimacy, but it was still a lot more intimate than she had been with anyone in years.

Her mind was quickly snapped back when Kevin mentioned eating. She smirked a little, wondering when he'd realize what he had just said. Which happened right afterwards. "Yea, I ate about the same in two days as I normally do in a week. So I should be good for day or two at the very least." Her body could probably do without food for a good three days now before things became problematic again. Though considering they were spending more energy by constantly walking something to eat before that would be preferable. "So, you found a spot to take shelter in? What kind of place is it? A ruin? Trees and bushes?" She was curious about what would make for a good enough shelter in the wasteland. As it was something she never had to deal with herself.
Preferably before that. I've been thinking about the idea ever since I suggested it and I'm itching to try it. xD
Ahh like that. No problem, things like that just happen. :) And great! I still would like to give my idea a go sometime soon. (Like, next month or something) but for now we can keep going with this one yea.
I'm guessing you're pretty busy at your vacation. ^^;; I think we should keep this rp as a 'backup' after your trip with the military, since I would like to continue it at least a bit further later on. :P
