IC

For as long as people have lived off the land, cultivating it, tending it, working together to thrive and grow stronger than both had ever before, there have been ones named "Earthmates" who have held a special connection with the world. Whatever ground the Earthmate tilled was fertile and vibrant. It called the rune sprites to gather around and thus the area was blessed with more than just fertile farmland, but an abundance of fish, of clean water, of prosperity and good health to all around them.

And the Earthmates have been around for as long as anyone could recall. Longer than that perhaps. But why? Were they created with the world? Were they blessed by the divine dragons? There were some who were jealous of their power. Those who waged war upon the entire world in an effort to wipe them all from existence. In more recent times, the name Ethelberd comes to mind: Emperor of the Sechs Empire until one day he vanished mysteriously, never to be heard from again.

But surely this was not the first of such barbaric actions against them, yet there is very little history left from them, having been given mostly orally from one Earthmate to another, and with the atrocities of Ethelberd, many of those stories have perished along with their holders.

With so few Earthmates to till the fields, the world has begun to notice changes. More extreme temperatures and storms worldwide, erratic ocean currents. All of which leads to where we are today. An island to the west of the Land of the Elves, in unexplored territory, a ship carrying passengers and cargo finds itself washing ashore at it's beach. And beside the beach? A port. Empty. No ships, no boxes, no evidence of any life at all save the long outcrop of marble and wood and limestone decayed by the crashing waves and the flow of time.


And from that leads a road, overgrown and forgotten. And from there, an expansive city of marble. Ivory columns which still stand, and cobblestone roads weaving from one street to another. Unlike the port and the nearly hidden road, this city still seems to be well maintained, all things considered. But in addition to it's marble buildings and streets, sitting on the hillside with terraces of what were once likely lush, rich, fertile soils, now looks to be gravel and sand, ill-suited for farming. This one great city seemed to be missing someone. One to revitalize those fields and bring back their former glory, and from that the towns as well.

Age: 19 | Weight: 190 | Height: 5'1 | Hair: White | Eyes: Red

~ Personality ~
Petrus is a busy body. He constantly needs something to do, and without something to do, he grows antsy and anxious. He makes sure that every second he can is filled with some sort of activity. Usually this ends up being crafting, inventing, or experimenting. He is actually quite inspired with his inventions, though most of them end up being a bit too inspired, and sometimes end up blowing up in his face, and not metaphorically either.

Petrus may be excited to talk about his passions, but is not as well spoken, having a difficult time communicating with others. When he's excited, he stumbles over his words as he speaks far too quickly for his body to keep up, oftentimes finding himself talking in circles, and when caught off guard he's helpless, unable to collect his thoughts. He is shy, yet talkative in a paradoxical way.

He has some insecurities as well, namely his large front teeth, but he isn't good at communicating these, and often doesn't bring it up if someone makes him feel uncomfortable, and thanks to his difficulty communicating, people may not notice if they aren't familiar with how he acts.

~ Hobbies ~
Inventing
Crafting

~ Likes ~
Vegetables* (Carrots are his favorite but he'd never admit that)
Ores
Woolies

~ Dislikes ~
Meat (He's vegetarian)
Dairy (Also Lactose-intolerant)
Wolves* (They terrify him)

~ History ~
Petrus lived most of his life in his families tiny cottage with his nearly 10 other brothers and sisters. As such, his home life was hectic and wild, and being the middle child, he would often times get lost in the droves of other bunny-eared siblings. And with his mother and father and sisters all helping to keep everyone in line, he often was left unattended, needing less care as the younger ones while not being old enough to help with a lot of the other issues around the house. And poor Petrus grew antsy. He would bounce his leg, try and jog for a bit, anything and everything to keep him occupied.

One day his family paid a visit to a nearby village for their routine check-ups, and Petrus went off on his own, soon finding himself in someone's workshop. He watched as he worked tirelessly at all times, and when he was finished, the man turned to face him, beckoning to come closer and watch. And he did, seeing how he worked, seeing how careful he was with each move, and seeing how much physical activity was needed mixed with this creative and intricate process made Petrus realize something: He was bored. He needed something to do, and not just mentally, or physically but something that did both.

After that, he hurried back to his parents to talk. He wanted to seek an apprenticeship, they were reluctant at first, after all he would be the first to leave the den, and at such a young age as well. At first they said no, but they watched him try anyway at home, making and building many different contraptions, all of which seemed to be dangerous or failures or both. And they realized that he not only needed an outlet, but also guidance, so they relented and let him go. He sought the man from before and he agreed to take him in, and trained for a couple of years.

Soon after, he was heading elsewhere by ship in order to meet a master craftsmen, after his previous mentor had shown him all he could, but was unfortunately unable to make it to his destination. And for the past month, he's been trying his hardest to revitalize the farmland, using a variety of inventions and handiwork after finding the only pervious resident of the island after having found her in the great hall at the center of town. She told him that it would be up to him to bring the Runes back to the soil, claiming that all his life he had been an Earthmate. But he knew nothing of farming or tending to the earth. Still, he agreed to try, and has been utilizing his inventor's heart to work on it.

How many posts are you expecting weekly/monthly? I may be interested but I do work a full-time job, dogs, all the adult things.

I'm hoping to have things be a bit more relaxed, so posting once a week should be fine, maybe even a little less. (though twice a week is probably the sweet spot) If players want to go a bit faster on their posts, I'd encourage collab posts and the "adventures" are by no means mandatory. I'm looking more for consistency than speed right now.

Age: 24 | Height: 5'9 | Weight: "None of your business" | Hair: Black & Pink | Eyes: Yellow

~ Personality ~
Jian is a graceful beauty who loves to meddle in the affairs of others. She is happy to lend her services to anyone in trouble, even if they refuse her help. She is a capable fighter and warrior, yet carries herself in a completely different light, and when asked about her skills, she just giggles and restates, "I'm just a dancer." She can appear a little air headed at times, and flirtatious, of course these always seem to happen in far too beneficial ways for it to be an accident or a coincidence.

Jian Is quite quick to ask of the life of those around her, always curious, perhaps poking a bit too much, yet any questions of her own are often met with a completely unsatisfactory answer. In the moment, people may have a hard time noticing the distance between them and Jian, but after walking away, and thinking of their interaction it's clear: There is a rift between her and nearly everyone else, and she is far too good at deflecting any attempts to get much closer than surface level.

~ Hobbies ~
Bothering others
Dancing/Training (They are one in the same for her)
Playing the Erhu

~ Likes ~
Peaches*
Jewelry
Honey (And any Honey Related dishes)

~ Dislikes ~
Plain dishes,
Ore*
Materials

"You could have at least turned these into something beautiful..."

~ History ~
Jian's life is unknown to most. From a young age, and for as long as she could remember she was trained in her kingdom's ancient dance, a swords dance. It was a ritualistic dance, one meant to symbolize the union of kingdoms. As such, Jian Hua had an important role to play as an ambassador of sorts. She was heading toward a new kingdom which had risen from one of the territories of the former Sechs empire which had just struck a trade and military treaty with her own country. Yet her arrival was not fated, and as such neither would the treaty. Without the ceremonial dance, things may be complicated. But nothing more to do now than to escort those less adept at defense on this island they found themselves stranded on now is there?

Name: Aiguo

Age: 24

Occupation: Healer/Doctor

Personality:
Aiguo loves knowledge and wants to see anything he's never seen before. He's kind, polite, and compassionate when it comes to his patients. In general, he tends to be adventurous and a bit of a jokester, though he tends to miss social cues sometimes. If he isn't experimenting with medicines and potions, he's collecting "adorable" rocks for his collection. Aigou even has a name for every rock there.

A genius at times, but a fool at others. Aiguo can be a bit of a wild card when it comes to intelligence. He also tends to sing and dance, but only when he's really happy

-Traveling
-Dabbles in Archaeology
-Rock collecting

Favorites:
Chimera Tail, Lion Fur, Ice shard, Dragon Bones, Fried Rice, Baked rice ball, Grape Liqueur

Likes

"Thanks. I can experiment with this."
"Eastern food really reminds me of home. Want to eat this with me while I reminisce?"
"Did you know some mushrooms are poisonous, and others make you hallucinate? Let's see what I can make with this~"

"Oh! A rock for my collection! Thanks!"

Dislikes
Vegetables

"I appreciate the sentiment, but you're better off turning that into something edible."
"Uhhh thanks but… uh, I think Petrus would like this more than me! Yeah! Give it to him, not me!"


Hates:
Honey, Pumpkin Flan, Disastrous Dish, Failed Dish

"Oh, let me throw that away for you!"
"I think Jian Hua would like this garbage more than me... Oh, don't tell her I called honey "garbage," thanks."



History:

Aiguo, since he was a young boy, had a thirst for knowledge and the unknown. It was known by all that knew him that he was going places, literally. Staying in one spot was just not in his blood, much to the dismay of his parents. They were never supportive of him wanting to travel because he just did not have the health for it. He was always one to get sick easily, and his parents worried for his well-being. What if he was out in who-knows-where and he ran out of medicine, with no doctors around to give him any? Aiguo couldn't possibly take care of himself!

This mindset from his parents inspired him to begin studying medicine and natural medicinal treatments. When he was old enough, he trained with an herbalist, then with the town's doctor who supported his goals. Aiguo studied hard for his ultimate goal, dreaming of seeing what the different lands had to offer. One day, he would become knowledgeable enough in his studies that he was confident enough to tell his parents that they didn't have to worry about him anymore.

Of course, it didn't work as he planned. His parents were adamant that he stay in their home village. That he should work as the village's doctor, and to do away with the "traveling nonsense". Aiguo, heartbroken that his parents refused to let him go despite him proving it was all he wanted, made a plan. He started building his boat in secret. He blueprinted, reconstructed, and tested his boat multiple times until he got the build that he was most confident in. Aiguo bought supplies and stocked up the boat, then sailed off early the following morning leaving only a letter of departure for his parents.

After several months of traveling, Aiguo began sailing for his next destination as planned. But the tides of the ocean unexpectedly became rougher and rougher. The waters completely overwhelmed his boat, and he ended up washing ashore on a mysterious island where other people had shipwrecked. Though his meals were ruined, most of his medical supplies managed to survive. For the past month he'd been using the island's resources to create medicine and has been working as the town's doctor ever since.

Relationships:
Petrus: "I like to think of him as the little brother of the group~"
Iris: "I have so many questions to ask her… But I think right now isn't the best time."
Jian Hua: "You think if I trade her some potions she'll show me that cool dance of hers?"

latest

Name: Iris

Age: 21

Occupation: Guardian

Personality:
Iris is a sleepy woman who has an adoration for flowers, all things food, and the people she had grown to care for. She likes creativity, art, technology, bugs, and people in general, however she is scared of fish, because their eyes look soulless and their moves are unpredictable (when alive).

She is also playful, mischievous, and loves to tell stories for anyone that'll listen. Iris loves anything that stems from the imagination rather than keeping true to reality. Reality is depressing, but imagination is whatever you make of it.

She blames herself for letting the town get to what it is, because well, the least she could have done was the gardening.

Hobbies:

-Chasing things (not for food, just for the thrill of seeking prey)
-Viewing flower beds
-Art and storytelling


Favorites:
Gold Vegetables, Curry foods

"F-For me? Truly? Oh, thank you! I wonder when I should eat this…"

Likes:
Flowers, Western foods, Eastern foods, Chimera tail, Dragon bones

"You're sweet~ You're not looking for a favor, are you?"

Dislikes:
Chocolate cake, tomatoes, chocolate

"Oh dear… I love everything food… except that."


Hates:
Uncooked Fish

"AAAAIIIIEEEE! Get it away from me! Get away!"

History:

Iris has lived in this town with her brother and parents for as long as she could remember. But what she does remember is that all of her times were good ones. Even the times when her brother slapped her with a fish, or hid a living fish under her pillow, or threw a fish into her lap while she was laying in a flower bed. Though it caused her irrational fear of fish, Iris still cherishes every memory of her life and family.

She isn't very sure what happened after that, but she remembered the city's population becoming smaller and smaller. Her dear friends left for something more adventurous, the people for different thrills, and that it was all bittersweet.

The Earthmate magic within the city she adored was dead…

She doesn't remember much. All she knows is that some lovely people fed her food when they stepped onto what remained of the city, thus giving her purpose as its guardian.

Goodness, how long had she been sleeping?


Relationships:
Aiguo: "He reminds me of my brother… I wonder where he is."
Petrus: "He's cute~ Do you think he'll let me chase him?"
Jian Hua: "Oh, the lovely dancer? I don't have much for her to butt into, but I can answer any question she has if she likes. As long as she let's me chase her."

I was thinking Gardener/ Magical Black Smith for the brother.
Beast master/Carpenter for the sister because they would be very useful to the group. Open to discuss reals but be warned the sis is a bit of a tomboy.

Teva Yaruk | 20
Botanist | Farmer

Age: 20 | Height: 1.65m / 5'4'' | Weight: 52kg / 114 lbs | Hair: Ginger | Eyes: Bright Green

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Personality:
Easy going and curious, Teva is the type of person that enjoys going with the flow of the wind. Wherever she feels is right, that's where she'll go. She does know how to be responsible and take care of any chores she sets for herself, or that others set for her, but otherwise, Teva could be quite unpredictable with her choices.
She is very protective of nature and all that it has to offer. Teva doesn't wish to harm it more then need be, and will always seek the options that don't require damaging it.

When it comes to other people, she can be a bit quieter and bit more seclusive, prefering the company of the wildlife, but as a botanist and farmer, Teva does understand that she needs to contribiute to the community, even if it means coming out of her own comfort zone. And she will sometimes join along exploration treks in order to try and find new types of plants to add to her own records.

Hobbies:
Sketching
Reading
Relaxing in nature
Learning about different flora

Likes
Loves - Nature
Humming
Green
Warmth
Herbal tea

Dislikes
Hated - Destruction
Construction
Being restricted
Meat

History:
Teva was born and raised in a rather strict household. From a young age, she was consistently instructed to help around the house, learn as much as she could, and understand that if she was ignorant in anything, then she would be punished for her ignorance. And this all only made her life miserable. And at the age of 7, Teva would found herself left alone in a forest, abandoned by her parents, who deemed her a failure.

The forest she stayed at was near the village, and without much dangerous wildlife due to the hunters that kept going through the area. It was one such hunter that found Teva, and decided to give her shelter as he went on a hunt. Letting her accompany and watch him work, Teva felt much more curious about a different aspect of his job. Foraging for edible goods in order to be capable of prolonging his trek. Knowing which flora was poisonous and which wasn't. Once they returned to the village, the hunter introduced Teva to the local botanist, who took Teva on as an apprentice, wanting to encourage her curiousity further.

Over the years, Teva showed a natural affinity for learning about nature. She even seemed to connect to it so much that at when she turned 13, she started living in a tent on the outskirts of the village, just to be closer to the nature, while still remaining at the relative safety of the village. For the next few years, she continued learning under the botanist, and also learning from the local farmers, until she turned 17. Her Botanist mentor informed her that he taught her all he could, and that her next step was to explore on her own. And so, she set out to explore further out.

For three years, she went far and wide, exploring the nature as much as she could, until one day, she came onto a ship. One that was doomed to crash against an island shore. For the next month, she started learning about the local flora and helping make the local farmlands proper again. And while her shipmates would live in the abandoned port, she elected to make a tent for herself by the nearest forest entrance. And despite the strangeness of the island, Teva is feels like she can be at home here.
