Welcome aboard Lieb. I like your character- very interesting concept.
 
Name: Rue Noir

Gender: Female

Age: 19

Race: Dune Folk

Character Concept: A Guide, in way over her head.


Physical Appearance: Her skin is a light brown, her hair a frizzly black pony tail, she typically wears a head covering over it. Her eyes are steely gray, though you wouldn't see it for the goggles she wears over them, at least while she's outside. She tends to wear tan and white robes that go down to her ankles, revealing her always bare feet. She is svelte and tall.

Equipment:
A Khopesh with a various curious pattern on the blade, Her clothing, a Journal, Dried rations, a Waterskin, smoked goggles and a bone flute.

Personality: Rue is an inquisitive woman, she is prone to write down what she observes in short hand, as the knowledge may prove useful later on.

Goals:
Get the group back and intact as reasonably possible.
Find some way to profit from this obvious disaster.
Do her clan proud.


Beliefs:
A Guide does the work she agrees to, there is little more detestable than a deserter.
Where is Peril, there can be profit if one but looks.
The Endless Dungeon is not just dangerous, it is malevolent. Evil.


Background: For hundreds of years, the Black Road Clan has lived out in the Eternal Desert. Sleeping during the day in great black tents, wandering and later exploring under the stars, the Black Road Clan are the pride of the Dune Folk. They are renown as the best Guides and Explorers in The Eternal Desert, Clarksland, and by their own claims the entire world. Rue Noir, is one of the latest Scions of this proud family owned business and has accepted the job of taking a group to the City of Fallen Angels. Except there was a slight misunderstanding. Her job was not to take this group of softfoots to the Endless Dungeon. But to take them through it. All the way. To the King's Slayer himself. Despite having never gone further than the city center, where the dungeon begins.

Needless to say, Rue wasn't counting on this.


Racial Traits: Dune Folk can see almost perfectly in the dark, as a result they are quite photosensitive. Their feet are also ridiculously durable, it is less painful for a snake to bite a rock than the sole of a Dune Folk's foot.

Known Skills: Rue is a fair hand with her Khopesh and is very agile, whether she is swimming, climbing or running. While she isn't like the Sirenes of her people's folklore, she can blow out a few jaunty tunes on her flute. She can also read and write.

Known Spells/Powers: Rue always knows which direction magnetic North lies. It is an ability that's run in her family for generations.

To reach the Eternal Desert and return the magical artifact.

Beliefs: She believes that all of nature and it's animals have a mind and a soul of their own and should be treated kindly.

Background: Anaxarete was born in two a coven of hedgewitches. Her mother was the High Witch and her father was some poor sap who emptied his loins and got turned into an lemming. That was the way of hedgewitches, they charmed some guy into knocking them up, then they turned them into some type of rodent. Aside from the fact that her father was an animal, Anaxarete lived a happy life with her younger sister, Hemera, until the day that Anaxarete turned sixteen and she met him.

It had been her first time alone in the woods and she had been doing quite well. She was flying through her coming of age, finding all of the herbs she needed and making piece with any animals she came across. But then, he crossed her path. He was a beautiful boy with dark hair and light eyes. His skin was the beautifully pale. She knew right then that she wanted him, but she also knew that she didn't want him to be turned into a rat. So she warned him and made him flee. Little did she know, a sixteen year old's coming of age was always watched.

When she returned home, she was told that she failed her coming of age, and from that day on she was treated as less than by all of the members of the coven. Even her mother. Her father of course, was proud of her and let her know in very cheerful squeaks.

Seven years later and a gross amount of bad luck has befallen the hedgewitches due to Anaxarete's sister, Hemera, stealing an important magical artifact from a non hedgewitch. To make things right, Hemera had to take the magical artifact and leave it in the Eternal Desert, but her mother refused to let her embark on such a dangerous journey, so she sent the next best candidate.

Anaxarete.

We always are.

Also, to TV heads and Princess, your characters are accepted. However, you will have to message me a bit of information regarding your character's races.
 
@Parser

A hedgewitch is a type of witch who uses nature oriented/herbal magic. They are also known as like medicine women. For example, in the past past past if your kid had a cleft lip or a persistent illness you would go to her.
 
But that's a profession. You have it as a race.
 
And here I was thinking it a knockoff Sadida
 
@Parser
I am aware. I put it there didn't I?

Her race is that she is a hedgewitch. She is a witch, but not just any witch, a hedgewitch. Since she never completed her coming of age she has no profession she is simply. A hedgewitch. She uses nature magic but she doesn't use it specifically to help/heal people.

Hedgewitch is a sub type of witch.

I already went over this with the GM, and she/he was cool with it.

Well, would you mind explaining the seperates regular humans who do magic from witches? I'm not trying to be facetious here; I'm honestly curious.

Neither witches or hedge witches are races, they're classes.

I don't want to be a jerk or anything. I just pointing this out.
 
Less races and classes, more posts in the IC.
 
I really see no problem with Hedgewitch being a race, as I have no problem believing that their genetic make-up would be different from a regular human, especially since they all use magic, and it is apparently a hereditary thing. Witches, historically, were also not seen as human, but previously human, kind of like vampires, or werewolves.

However, I would like to enquire that @Dinorocket possibly slow down the posts? I feel that it is causing people to be left behind a bit. I left in the afternoon with intentions of replying to ComradeSenpai's interaction with my character, and I get back and there are a bunch of new posts, every second one belonging to Dinorocket, and I just feel a bit left behind. Not trying to be rude or anything like that, I just feel like replying after every new post is a bit much in a group role-play.

Batty already said it quite well, but I'll elaborate.

Hedgewitches are humanoid creatures born with magic. They are all female, and they live in the forest with their coven. At age 16, all hedgewitches go through a coming of age test and only if they pass it can they go potentially leave their coven and find a profession as a medicine woman/nurse/midwife/adventurer etc.

When I defined hedgewitch for you, I gave the actual textbook definition of hedgewitch, not the definition of the hedgewitch that I had created.

As an outside observer, I'd suggest posting more than once every three days. It would also help if you character bothered to have any interaction with the rest of the group. Just to make it perfectly clear: Yes, I am criticizing your posting speed. Tact is not my strong suit.

Well why would you do that? I mean, it seems fairly clear what I was asking.
