Relationship section is done. Here's to hoping she'll grow closer to everyone as IC goes, eh?
no she won't​
 
Fun facts:
~ There are 5 adult members, and 4 teen members.
~ Our group consists of 2 humans, two elves, a fairy, a giant, a dwarf, a tiny man, and one unknown.
~ There's just one person whose life was relatively spent in comfort, while at least 2 are canon-criminals.
~ Not a single person in this roleplay has trained/magical healing abilities, last I checked. (no turning back now)

~ Only 3 characters are below the age of 20-- and those three seem to be the most "childish" , surprisingly. (Babysitting, anybody?)
~ We already seem to have a friendly(?) rivalry going on.
~ @Raven Haruka clearly wasted her time writing this down when she could have been working on something relatively important.

@LavnderLights : Cecil's CS looks good to me--congrats!

@Why Not? : Name change noted. (Also, Lion sounds much cooler in Siri's ears :p)

QUESTION: Is there anybody who doesn't use the midnight/dark background, and therefore has issues reading the lighter-colors of the group?

- - -

Ah, and since everybody except @Isomia.n has their character sheet up-and-approved, I'll start thinking about an IC thread. . .

. . .But while I'm doing that, please try and at least get a few relations down in your relationships section , everyone.

@Joan , @ERode , and myself have some first-impressions -esque relations up in our corresponding Character Sheets already, you can use them as a basis if you'd like.

"Two humans? Please, if she's the standard for human, then you should be addressing me as an angel."

The most savage things I have ever read are contained in her relationship section. XD

"Two humans? Please, if she's the standard for human, then you should be addressing me as an angel."

i just read ashina's relationships LMAO

fight me irl see what happens

catch these hands and make sure my beautiful angel never looks at ashina the wrong way.

ashina wouldn't want to end up with toads in her hair of course
 
Why am I not surprised that Ashina hates Joan? XD Then again, she hates everybody, but it's still pretty funny. I sense a lot of arguments coming in this roleplay...

Also, updated my character's relationships section to include Cecil.

@Dip Her blessing will probably make her look beautiful even WITH toads in her hair. Truly a nightmarish curse. So yeah. Come at me brah. Gonna poke your eyes out with muh pointy sticks and then flush your dirty little medallion down the toilet.

@Joan Pls, you started the hate first with your relationship. I just reciprocated it.

Also made some headers to pass time.

@ERode AHMAGOSH those are dope :D I like how you made the one for Aurelion without me having chosen a character picture for him yet. And what you did use fits perfectly. Unf.

But damn shots fired

Ashina is probably going to my favorite so far xD Every rp needs that girl with RBF and that attitude to go with it.
 
QUESTION: Is there anybody who doesn't use the midnight/dark background, and therefore has issues reading the lighter-colors of the group?
I didn't at first, and then I jumped into this and found out I couldn't read most of Dip's bio. Excellent bio btw :bsmile:

Also, my CS is not finished. I haven't found a picture for him yet, so I may have to alter some details about his appearance, and I also haven't done the relationship section. Does anyone have any ideas for pre-existing relationships between characters? Aurelion is fond of making connections that aide him in his goals, so some characters may be familiar with him.

If you have any ideas, just hit meh up.
 
Aureolin, if he had any sort of relationship with Ashina, will probably have it one sided. She just doesn't bother remembering any one off encounters she has with males.
 
He's a pretty singled minded individual anyways xD

@Why Not? oh my goodness!! im sorry. im so bad, i usually just assume either everyone uses midnight or im in the clear abt my coding. my apologies;;;;

i think i might make a little drop box on the bottom of my post, with a mobile-friendly version? i was gonna ask too if anyone was bothered with some coding? i could go bare but it's a personal preference to align the text and insert a div-box. i have no problem with doing no coding at all, but i just wanted to double check w everyone!!

w that being said, i updated the profile to include the relationships. i took it upon myself to make them vague, so the players could form their own thoughts on how sibyl views their characters.

For preexisting relations, Torvo's technically a wandering merchant. Maybe he could've sold you something in the past? He's not much of a mercantilist so whatever you get would be nearly dirt cheap.

Aurelion Elios/ Male/ 25/ June/ Half Dwarf/ Tiny Man
"Eren Darkhorse is another name of mine. Although you're probably not familiar with it, unless you play the games the noblemen do."

"See the horizon over there? I'm going to chase it. Everything will fall behind me."

"This Tiny Man has a very big man inside of him."
Aurelion Elios is not the man anyone expects him to be. Being born to a human mother and a dwarven father has left Aurelion forever compromised with mistaken identity. He is often taken for a young boy, because his frame is small and slender, he can't grow any facial hair, nor does age seem to wear at his more youthful features. It's in his black honey eyes that stare off, deep in thought, that reflect his true years and mature mind. He wears his long straight rust colored hair tied up loosely behind his neck. Many would say that Aurelion has graceful, and even noble looking features.

Height: 4'3"
Weight: 90lbs
Body Frame:
Small and wiry
Skin Tone: Honeyed brown
Eye Color:
Dark Golden Brown
Hair Color: Rust
Hair Type: Long, reaches a few inches past his shoulders.
His back is littered with scars, and his arms have stretch marks on them, and a few crisp scars.


Personal Section
Likes: Playing games and regular people. Outwitting his adversaries.
Dislikes: Kingdom Brutality, the Aristocracy, Profiteers, Politicians
Fears: Losing his dream, or the lust to seek it.
Quirks: Constantly popping his knuckles, and a lot of other bones in his body. Will also spontaneously start working out if there is idle time.
Hobbies: Thinks far too much. He loves to sit and space out for extended periods of time. Also likes to fish.

Blessing: Mantle of Conquerors
"I have a vision."
Aurelion received a curio and his own prophecy long ago. As long as he wore the pendant, and swore that he would sacrifice anything for his vision, he would find what he seeks. Aurelion only wants to conquer Zeffari. The Mantle tips the hands of fate in order to meet that end. Sometimes those hands deliver decisive victory or subtle wayward winds that ever so slightly affect his course. Other times it comes in the form of power boons that are granted for short term gain, but long term loss.

Curse: "I will sacrifice anything for it."
The Mantle demands that he sacrifice anything for his vision. He was told long ago that if he ever failed to fulfill that obligation, no matter the consequences, he would be swallowed whole into hell. For instance, he's given up his anger, but also his empathy. These emotions now exist as tiny runes that, through a series of uncanny and what some would call coincidental events, came back to him. The rage rune, when used, removes the limiters on his body, allowing his muscles to produce much more torque and power than normal- basically the strength equivalent of a giant. The obvious repercussion of nerve damage to his body aside, he had to give up his anger, which wasn't the actual sacrifice. It was his empathy. He's never used the empathy rune, and he's not sure if either of them will survive multiple uses.


Morality: "There are those who try to justify building their dreams on the suffering of others. Cowards, all of them. I will give everything to see them crushed."

Etiquette: "I can dance with nobles, gamble with pirates, join the urchins for a game of kickball- and everyone loves telling stories- stories that I can use to my advantage. But I keep my stories close, my enemies closer, my destination always in sight."

"I don't particularly like having to fight. I'd rather get what I want through words. Violence just seems so unnecessary when negotiation is endless."

Attitude: "I can blend in with anyone. A poor urchin on the street peddling stolen trinkets, or a noble boy visiting with his cousin who lost his way. No one thinks a I can be dangerous. Good. They don't need to know who I really am and that's what I prefer."

"I lean towards pragmatism, but I always keep an open mind. There's an advantage everywhere, even where it doesn't seem likely."

Perception: "I see the world for what it is. I see it for its pain and cruelty, it's mastery and beauty. I see the gnashing pit of teeth and cancerous corruption at the heart of this city. The balance of justice is weighted down by the bloody hands of those profiteers and their prostitutes, stealing the bread of the man who makes it. I will cleanse them all, and restore justice."

Philosophy: "Fate guides my actions. I'm only an actor taking part on a grand stage."

Inventory Section
Wardrobe: Aurelion retains an expansive wardrobe that he employs for situations that warrant one of his disguises. Other than that, he typically wears a long sleeved muted gray wool shirt with a padded jacket over his torso with a long dark hooded leaf green cloak, and some black boots and dark padded pants.This outfit is rigged with the tools of his trade.

Protective Equipment: 4 Throwing Knives, 3 Bolas, a slingshot, and two daggers, 3 smoke bombs

Most Prized Possession: The Mantle of Conquerors. A small calcified looking heart about the size of a robin's egg attached to a cord is always around Aurelion's neck.


Most Valuable Possession: An onyx broach in the shape of a horse, embedded with amethysts. Is apart of his disguise.

Allowance: 250 gold

Inventory:
Rucksack
Blankets
Rations
String
Hooks
Can of Bait
Flint
Parchment
Inkwell
Pen

History Section
Backstory: "Before I met her, I was imprisoned in the Caldwin Estate.
You see, as a young boy I was taken off the streets by a charitable nobleman promising me a chance at a new life. I was only nine, desperate and destitute. I was introduced to Edlund Caldwin, an old and cruel man cursed with perverse predilections. Many other orphan children like me had been given the same promise, suffering the fate of being chosen for Caldwin's newest set of attractions. The ones who weren't chosen... I'm not sure what happened to them... I just hope they didn't have to suffer anymore.

I was too young to understand what Zaffari was, and how it was that I could've ended up my predicament. Being penniless and short on an education make it rather difficult to understand the social milieu of aristocratic society under the reign of King God Rozmyte Hilldew. I almost wish I could go back to being ignorant.
We were used to entertain Caldwin and his guests. We were never hurt or violated or even neglected. All of our needs were met because our purity was the quality for which we were lusted after, and it was the asset that kept us breathing. We were humiliated and demeaned, made to dance and sing, play with eachother, sit on their laps, adorn them like the fine silks they wore. We were Edlund's doll collection polished and kept fine, languidly poised like portraits for the throngs of his social gatherings.


Once his guests were dabbling in the esoteric mysticism- their fetishes would always be changing like the seasons. It was at this particular soiree that I met an elven seer who changed my life forever. She seemed older than trees of great groves, and just as blind, attending as a guest and entertainer. Her garments were exotic and expensive. She reeked of wealth, just like everyone else. She wore this revolting charm around her neck similar to the one I'm wearing around mine. Mine looks like a calcified heart, hers was more like wounded open palm.
She told me of my origins, what I was destined for, and what I should do with all my pain and anger. She said I would have the power to make sure what happened to me would never happen to anyone else ever again, but that I would have to be willing to sacrifice.


After that night my world blossomed. I was still a prisoner in that estate, but my mind was free, and a inexhaustible fire raged in my being. I began stealing away into the library, teaching myself to read at first, and then hungrily devouring every book I could. Histories of the kingdom, histories of the world, manuscripts on various species of plants and animal I had never known in the slums of Zaffari, prophecies of ancient legend, lapses in the memory of man. Eventually I arrived at my conclusion.

I need to conquer this kingdom and depose this corrupt regime.

Everything I've done up until now has been for that goal."

Relationships Section
Sibyl Moejeon "She's powerful. Her light heart might withstand what's to come."


Joan Raylen Drazelan "Her abilities are useful, and she's got a good heart. She could also eat two of me..."

Ashina Ashart "Beautiful, but there's pain in those eyes. Only the cursed could see such a thing. I don't know much of her family... she may be my enemy."

Matrole Greensun "Dewey eyes like those used to piss me off. Why does he look at me so much? Think he wants to eat me? I'd be little more than a morsel..."

Turvan Burnsteel "It's odd that I find similarities between us. Both granted blessings to help us endure this heartless world. Without that, we'd both be dead, I imagine. The Goddess has a funny sense of humor named Turvan."

Cecil Hymn "There is a peculiar kind of strength nestled in that smile."

Siri "I gotta be bigger than someone around here. Who is she and why did she bring us together? Her existence alone is fascinating."
Indigo
You're all good, sir-- Ah, and you managed to find my secret weakness, good job.

Reading all of these relations is like digging through a bag of trail mix.

Some are sweet, while others salty.

@Dip : I've looked at your CS on my phone before, and the only issue I had was the picture. If you'd want, you could just put in the "midnight" background for your text. (For reference, here's a handy link to a post I found that helped me a lot with colors.)

Midnight: #000000 (EXAMPLE)
  • Dusk: #313131 (EXAMPLE)
  • Sunrise: #f6f6f6 (EXAMPLE)
  • Evening: #c2c2c2 (EXAMPLE)
  • Daylight: #e5e3e3 (EXAMPLE)
