~At the bottom of the Stairs~ An S.A.O RP

^^ thankee

Taking into consideration that was the first forum RP post I've made in like... two or three years...

But yea... my character isn't meant to be combat oriented... at all... She's built to be able to sneak past anything she may need to.. if she decides to kill it then she can get plenty of quick sneak attacks in before it has time to tear her apart... and if she can't she can escape and hide from it.... Plus she's a cartographer/lockpick/scout for hire which is how she gets her loot >.>

~At the bottom of the Stairs~ An S.A.O RP

And my first post is up and I posted it with minimal hatred of myself ^^ I don't think it was ABSOLUTE shit... it still sucked a little more than I would like though...

~At the bottom of the Stairs~ An S.A.O RP

Dire Mountain

May it be an evening star
Shines down upon you
May it be when darkness falls
Your heart will be true
You walk a lonely road
Oh, how far you are from home

The soft lyrics drift their way through the valleys of the mountain... It sounded as if the wind itself were singing, gently weaving it's words into the very fabric of the digital world, anybody with a half decent perception would easily be able to hear the voice... Yet where it came from would be more difficult to figure out... The voice echoed from all angles as if there were an entire chorus filling the world...

Darkness has come
Believe and you will find your way
Darkness has fallen
A promise lives within you now

The deep soothing chords of a lute mingles it's way into the chorus, adding a haunting undertone to the soft, obviously female, voice.

May it be the shadows call
Will fly away
May it be your journey on
To light the day
When the night is overcome
You may rise to find the sun

Atop one of the peaks, a lone figure sits, her long black robes billowing out around her as she gently rocks side to side, her face concealed by the shadow of her hood. Her fingers the only thing visible under the robe. Resting on her lap was the lute that emitted the beautiful notes, her thin fingers dancing along the strings, picking and plucking them in complex patterns.

Darkness has come
Believe and you will find your way
Darkness has fallen
A promise lives within you now

The cloaked figure seems to expand a little, a long sigh echoing out from her as she bows her head and lays the lute on her lap, hands slowly sliding down the string, allowing the last note to continue to ring out, gently getting deeper.

A promise lives within you now

And with that, the voice and music falls silent. Her hands clasp together, fingers interlocking, as they rest on the main body of the lute and she just sits there silently.

"Whelp... time to get back to work.." she sighs softly to herself a short while later as she brings up her inventory screen. Dragging the slider down, she taps a couple more selections, menus, and then the lute finally flashes and vanishes before she rises to her feet.

"This view already unlocked much of the map data for this sector... I guess it's time to move on..." she mumbles to herself as she starts making her way down the peak...

Do whatever you want it isn't fun when your not feeling the post, because then no one feels it :P

My ploblem isn't feeling a post... I have no problem getting into any post I do... the problem is getting started... the first paragraph of almost any post I ever do is absolutely horrible... at least to me... but once that's out of the way I do better... I already have the lyrics I want her to be singing... I just need to figure out how to start the post without it sounding like crap...

@TheLonePup you could be an informant, or scout exploring the mountains, or looking for goodies for your self

Yea that's what I was thinking as well >.> be in the labyrinth working as a cartographer... but I always fuck up action-based intro posts... and just writing a map would be a bit boring... maybe just be taking a break... relaxing on a mountain outcropping... lute in hand...

~At the bottom of the Stairs~ An S.A.O RP

huh... crap... there anybody NOT in the mountains? I'm trying to think of a reason for my character to be out there... but other than sneaking her way through the labyrinth looking for doors/chests to unlock... Sitting on the mountain playing the lute is a little too hippy-ish >.>

Ok... an hour before bed... Time to go get caught up on the IC... and maybe vomit up a half decent intro post if possible

[Fighting style-]

Hit and run. Ellien isn't made to be a head-to-head fighter. She's more likely to hide behind others she parties up with than she is to go headlong into combat. The way she's played has made her far from being a combat capable character... She's become more along the lines of a rogue-for-hire and information broker.

_______________________________________

[Personality-]
Ellie is the stereotypical MMO player... An introvert who prefers her virtual life more than she does her real one. While she was always nervous, practically fearful, of being around actual people, she practically became a socialite when it came to playing MMOs. She has no problem being the center of attention as she plays her lute in the middle of town square or sitting in the corner of the tavern...

[Biography-]

The first born child of the black sheep of two different families, Ellie grew up being constantly looked down upon by her family. While her cousins were handed everything, she had to prove exactly WHY she needed anything she wanted. Nobody cared what she had to say, what she wanted, what she cared about... and after a while she just gave up on trying to deal with them anymore, instead just hiding away whenever she could, spending more time in her room with a book rather than spending time with other people. As she got older, the books were gradually replaced by video games as she became more and more of a gamer as the years went by... When she learned about VR tech, she practically starved to death as she saved up the money for a VR headset and purchased every game she could find. Of course, when SAO was announced, it was the obvious next step.
