Either RolePlayerGuild.com is glitching, or everyone is studiously ignoring my PMs.

Princess x Assassin

But in this tale, the assassin works for her. She wants the throne so she can protect her kingdom from her corrupt siblings. To do so, she must be both pure-hearted and cunning. At first, the only support she receives is from House Valderis through its heir, the master assassin Astran Valderis. The princess will win over those she can, and Astran will slay those she can't. Together, they will obtain the throne.
There once was a soul, a ghoul, a fool,
There once was a fool who sold his soul,
He sold his soul for food and wool.
The ghoul who sold its life, it's rife
The ghoul who sold its life is rife
With strife with wife and bard and fife.
"Oi, what's this?" you say, you neigh?
"Oi, what's this?" you say, but nay,
I say you say your say and may.
"This ghoul and wife, wool and fife,
This soul that's rife with bard and strife,
Apply'st you nonsense to my life?"
Nay, my friend, a thread, a thread,
Is wed betwixt your words and head!
Why did the ghoul go sell his soul?
Bereft by theft, he's left with null,
His life is cleft by cold, hence wool.
Penniless, jobless, useless, young,
His wife was merciless, wagged her tongue,
So bards retell't with fife, and sung.

See, though devils make heroes' glory
Humans are devils enough for our story.


And so Solorfainiel put down her pen.
@Dusksong What does the mage tower look like, and who else lives there?
[edit: oops, didn't realize the character in the dungeon was someone else. One draft of Astran's app mentioned Fain's imprisonment, so I thought it was me, not realizing I discarded that draft.]
@RyderTheWriter
Submitted a new male knight character!
Name: Astran Valderis
Looks:

Race: Human
Age: 26
Religion: Isa - deviant
Nationality: Lempea

Personality: "What's my personality like? Well...I fight. I don't just mean physically - I mean mentally too. With both word and blade I struggle against the powers of darkness. Honor is my code and truth is my light. Sound cliche yet? You may find me a droll man, always droning on about Isa's doctrines, scientific discoveries, and how important it is to be chivalrous. But whether you like me or not, I will always protect you. Betrayal is not in my blood. If you harm my friends, however, be prepared to breathe your last through the shaft of my spear."

Background: "I suppose I could expound more on my background. Like most people, I was born in Lempea. There's not much to say about that - I grew up there. I went to school, beat up bullies, roleplayed as my favorite heroes, and graduated from the academy just like everyone else. Though, I graduated with honors, so I suppose that's something. I don't want to talk about my pre-military life. It was boring. Things really started to pick up for me when I became a knight in service of the Crown. You see, I..." [drones on about drill sergeants, exploits, damsels in distress, and other stuff you're not really interested in] "...and here I am. Any other questions for me?"

Additional Info: "Am I single? Well...let's put it this way. There are lots of stories out there about beautiful young women who fall in love with their rescuers, but reality doesn't work like that, so I'm still unattached at the moment. Oh, we're done with the interview? Ah, okay. Thank you for your time- oh, don't mention it. I'll escort you out. There's a splendid little shop just around the corner that makes the most delicious pancakes you've ever tasted. I highly recommend paying them a visit on your way back."
Is it just me, or do we have too many female characters? I've got a male char idea.
Oops, I didn't realized I'd already asked. Still getting used to this site.

The opening post of the story tends to set the tone for the rest of the story, so it may be best for you start things off so you can control the tone. The other players here look competent, so I think they'll be able to run with what you give them. :)
I submitted an app. May I join?
