How much more days for him to reach the capital. Or rather the lands around it. (he'll be going to the domain of his parents)

Just point the place on the map and count the pixels. 😉

 

[Darth Vegeta]

I think i'll flash forward. Unless someone wants to rp an npc or other char in camp?
Also i'm not getting notifications anymore from the other thread. PM me when i need to rp Maximos's dad k?

 

[Kalamos]

You can either wait, flash forward or resume playing as Maximos Valerios.
I haven't seen Tacidios' char sheet though, so it's up to cassandra to carry that plot line on.

 

[Darth Vegeta]

Well he's not really a PC. More an npc made to aid her and get the thread of Valerios, hers and another one together.

 

[cassandra1]

I suggest you go ahead and flash forward.

 

[Darth Vegeta]

Okay in what thread exactly are you all?
And should i make a new thread for the Valerios estate?

 

[cassandra1]

I'll make the new thread. You will post on Tacidius and Rachel's arrival.

 

[Darth Vegeta]

okay i'll let Maximus 'approach' and i'll control the dad too.

 

[Darth Vegeta]

hmm

Where is the bio thread?
In any case 2 NPC's who might become fully fledged PC's upon which i'll extend the bio's. Will depend on the nr of players we'll end up having:

[tcklsh_Noelle]

Name: Lust (alias name, real name is Noelle Sivios)

Age: 25

Gender: Female

Race: Half Elve

Description: check the picture

Bio: My father was an Elve and my mother was a human, father's family did not accept this, so before his title was ruined, my mother was forced to leave, after i was born we had to work as serfs for a noble. My mother was proud and strong, she always played and tickled me, I was so ticklish then. At age 10, the war had final reached our noble man's villa, it was ransaked and was confiscated for one of the princes. I was order by my mother to run away, which i did in the woods, the same woods I played in since i was 5, so i knew the area well. I gathered berries and such for several weeks, until bandits came by, a blood -thirsty lot. Their leader was a man named Cipher, he wasn't like the rest, he was more "refined" and commanded great respect from his clan. I surely thought I was going to die at the hand of the filthy bandits, but Cipher came along spared me. From then onward, I was his "protege", he taught me hunting,daggers, and archery which he said I had a natural skill in. He even taught me how to kill. As the years went by, I became my skills improved. With those years, I became colder being around such brutal/horney,disgusting men. I saw myself as refined but in the end I killed others...it was all a facade. Soon enough the Kings' war even reached our remote woods, they were out for Cipher. All this time, Cipher was contracted by the Imperial Senate to cause mayhem for the Kings and now one of the kings came to return the favor. The camp was destroyed and set to fire. Cipher and I escaped in the chaos as the other bandits were detained or even killed. Cipher then told of my mother, being detained at one of the king's fortress and that I was of elven blood. Afterwards,we never saw each other again. I went to the fortress, I snuck in. Hearing loud laughter I went down below to see. There I saw her. My mother being tickled, she was laughing and laughing. She was a broken down women...i felt like i didnt even know her, it was there i realized she was beyond saving...and that was when i realized i was alone. From then on I became a cold to most people. I decided to become a mercenary/assassin....silent yet deadly.


Sorry for the lenght bio......did I do it right?
Ummm......i dont know, but are those clothing appropriate? im not sure ^.^;

 

[Kalamos]

Bio seems good.
Length is fine, you could later elaborate on your char's likes and dislike, but should be enough for now.

Bandits do roam the Tharagyan countryside far and wide, so you just need to choose your starting spot.

A likely place would be Asperum, housing the largest slavemarket of Northern Tharagya.
It is also relatively close to Bisanthium, the capital, where most of the gaming action is currently being carried on.

Once you pick a starting location, you should tell us your expectations as a player, and your char's goals.


EDIT:

A note about appearance: you might want to check this section for ideas.

[Darth Vegeta]

Welcome to the rpg. Looking forward to rp with you.

 

[LonelyKimiko]

Well, this is my attempt at creating a character 🙂 . I hope its suitable and I would welcome any alterations anyone can suggest 😀 .



Name: Kimiko (Its the alias I always use, and it helps to avoid confusion 🙂 )
Suggested Change: Kymis.

Age: 19

Gender: Female

Race: Elven

Description: Short, around 5 foot 7 or so, Long black hair, bright blue eyes.
Suggested Change: 5 foot.

She wears fairly plain tattered clothing and a plain brown hooded cloak. Some would consider her to have a a certain amount of good looks about her, being slender and fair faced.

Bio: Kimiko was a member of an elven village, before trouble came calling in the form of bandits (I'm sorry for the clechaise, just give me time to get my imagination rolling again 🙂 ). Sold by the bandits as a slave, she was brought up being owned by slavers, being used for household tasks and labour, as well as for the pleasure of the aristocracy in the big cities. One fateful night she was caught up in the midsts of an escape attempt by several other slaves, and though she managed to be set free she was left by the others, being too young and not knowing how to fend for herself, as a burden to them. After around a week of wandering the lands, she ended up having another run in with bandits, who found her starving and half dead. Taking her into captivity she awakens to find herself in a camp at night, in the woods near the Valerious Camp...

Misc. Info: She isnt experienced at any kind of fighting or magic, she is plain and simply a girl who has been caught up in the wrong place, and found her looks to be more of a burden to her. However, she knows nearly nothing of the village from where she came, of who she is in the world of the elves, or of what the strange tatoo on her left arm means...

Hope this is the kind of thing you were looking for 🙂 . Let me know of any suggestions or if there is a better way I can have her meeting up with the other characters 🙂

 

[Kalamos]

It's ok. We can built from there.
I would like to point out a couple of things, though.

First, nobody in his/her/its right mind would call a 5'7" woman *short*.
I had everybody keep the character height down, because over Aygomen anything over 5' is considered *tall*, especially for female non-Morean types.

Second, I understand the confusion issue, but "Kimiko" doesn't work too well as a Tharagyan or Aygosian name.
Kymis, Kinis, Kimys might work better.
Your call though. 😉

 

[tcklsh_Noelle]

Okie Dokie Artichoke

Asperum huh?....It seems like a good place to start then

My character usually acts nonchalent and cold. I have no real ambitions in life, i dont express my likes nor dislikes(like being tickled). I go day by day, receiving payments from my employers, which is arranged by a mysterious man known as Greed, which I assume is just his own alias.



there we go? everything set?

 

[LonelyKimiko]

No problem, I'll knock my height down to 5 foot. 😉
I'm about 5'9" or something so i tend to consider most underneath that height as short hehe. 🙂
I like Kymis as a name, might have to adopt that one.
I like to try and play my character as a timid sort of person, who is rather scared of authority. She didnt really want to escape from the slave camp, even though she hates tickling and had it often as amusement for benefactors, she doesnt really know much outside the walls of the slave camp. She still knows there are horrible punishments for escaped slaves though, and so decided it was better to run, more out of fear than reasoning.
Any of this any good?

 

[Kalamos]

-> Noelle.

Seems fine, maybe you could change her second name to "Sivios" - most Tharagyan surnames sound like that.

Now you could choose what side is your char on.
Or let me work it out for you.

Assassin/agent types usually work for a patron.
Suitable patrons usually answer to the Morean Senate, the Morean Inquisition, or a local authority.

You could work for a Tharagyan noble - of any political alignment.
Of course you can't be too sure about your employer, ignorance is a bliss they say.

You'll be receiving your orders as soon as they current Day/Action is over.
You can elect to start at Asperum, so you can build your char up while other players complete their own actions, or in Bisanthium right away.

 

[tcklsh_Noelle]

Very well Sivios it is. I also shall be an assassin then for the patrons, since I feel that the warring kings are unsuitable employers

 

[Kalamos]

I won't comment on that. 😉

Interesting, but it could be a challenging char to play.
Is it ok with you?

 

[LonelyKimiko]

*salutes* I'll do ma best! 😀

A Morean-aligned patron then. Perfect.

 

[LonelyKimiko]

So what should I do? I had a kind of idea how I could appear in the valerious estate story, but I'd like approval first 🙂 .
