I don't really like you… I think your weird! jk (looks around) isn't there something better we could do together? Snooping really isn't my thing… spying is different.

I like it :)! "is not afraid of heights…just falling" I like that :P.

Hope you didn't thank I was saying "perfect little angels" to be mean! Sorry If I came across that way :).

I couldn't decide between these two characters that I created, so either you can decide on one for me, or I'll just use both!

(Just so you know, I probably won't be on here that often, but I'll still try to get on as often as I can.)

Aubrey

Age: 16

Appearance: Slightly below the average height; long reddish-blond hair that is often carelessly pulled back; her bright green eyes convey her emotions strongly. She prefers to dress in bright colors, but will revert to dark or dull colors if necessary to avoid detection.

Weapons: A sharp shooter with the bow. Is secretly training in swordsmanship, and quickly becoming a master(ess).

Description: Brave, cheerful, and highly mischievous. She is willing to risk her personal safety to save another life, but will also pull pranks that frequently annoy others (as of yet, none of her pranks have been too dangerous). If you are looking for Aubrey, look no further than the closest scene of action. She's bound to be in the middle of it – she could even be the cause of it.

Lady Adalinna

Age: 18

Appearance: Tall and slender, with long, flowing blond hair. She is stronger than she looks at first glance. Wears plain, dark dresses or tunics, depending on her situation. She dresses so as to attract as little attention as possible, even to the extent of wearing a long cloak with a full hood at times.

Weapons: Keeps a short sword hidden under her cloak, but only uses it if absolutely necessary. She is well trained in both swordsmanship and the bow.

Description: Often quiet and thoughtful, but is not ashamed or afraid to confront someone who is in the wrong. Her steady faith in God often causes even her elders to turn to her for advice. She is a member of a secret order of Alavarian knights, devoted to keeping peace in the country and serving the Lord. She is the keeper of many of the Order's deepest secrets. Unfortunately, the Order's enemies have made her one of their chief targets because of this, so she must always watch her back.

Fully edited my character's description; it's a lot better now, I think. :) I'll try to stop editing, though, and just be content with what I've put. :D

This sounds like a great idea! I'd love to join! Here's my character: Name: Eryana Age: 18 Appearance: Long, wavy brown hair, that reaches a couple inches past her hips; is nearly always pulled back in a French braid, to keep it out of the way. Has brown eyes. Wears a plain, dull green dress, with slightly wide, open sleeves, and tighter sleeves beneath those reaching just above her wrists. Also has a silver, diamond pattern "ring" around the upper arms of the dress (hopefully that makes sense). Weapons: Bow and arrows. Also a small sword hidden on her back behind the quiver of arrows. Description: Is fairly reserved, but very easy to talk to. Is extremely skilled with the bow, having keen eyesight and accuracy. Can run incredibly fast, making it easy to make quick escapes and such. Is not afraid of heights - just falling. :P Main fault: Sometimes does according to what she thinks is best, instead of just following given instructions/directions; has gotten herself into (actual) trouble a number of times. [I added this because I think we should all have at least one fault/flaw mentioned about our characters, instead of all of us just being "perfect angels". :)] So there you have it. :) Let me know what you think.

Awesome Rosie! But honestly, knowing you, I think you'd prefer a Tessen to a sword.

Awesome! You could use both, but you'd need to clarify each time. Maybe the Forums has some keys to change font color?

Please Read

I've noticed a trend among the character descriptions we've made so far………..almost everyone is skilled with a sword and bow! That's not bad, but it does give a sort of "cookie-cutter" feel to the characters. So, I've decided to create an ever-growing list of weapons that would be used in this time period.

Ranged Weapons

  1. Crossbow. A mechanical bow, easy to aim and shoot, but less range than a longbow.
  2. Recurve Bow. A bow longer than the shortbow, but shorter than the longbow. The opposing curves gave it range, if not all the range and power of the longbow.
  3. Longbow. A bow as long as the wielder is tall, the longbow requires it's user to have both strength, and experience in shooting bows. Has the greatest range and power of all the bows.
  4. Shortbow. A short bow, used mainly for hunting.
  5. Kunai/ Throwing Knife. A small knife, balanced for throwing.
  6. Sling. A long strip of leather, with a pouch in between the grips on either side.
  7. Javelin. A long, thin spear, suitable for throwing.

Close-Quarters Weapons

  1. Broadsword. A heavy, long sword. Requires great strength.
  2. Longsword. A long-bladed sword, of a smaller width than the broadsword.
  3. Shortsword. A short sword, of equal width as the longsword.
  4. Scimitar. A weapon found mainly in the Southern Wastes, the Scimitar has founds it's way to Alavaria through trading. It is a long, curved blade, and equal to the broadsword.
  5. Dirk. A blade of a length midway between the dagger and shortsword.
  6. Dagger. A blade shorter than the dirk, often used as a companion to a sword.
  7. Ladies' Dagger. Smaller than the dagger, the length of the blade is about the width of your palm. Easily concealed.
  8. Kusarigama. A small sickle, attached to a chain that has a small weight at the end.
  9. Katana. An exotic weapon, used by the warriors of the Eastern Kingdoms. It is a long, slightly curved sword with a chisel tip.
  10. Nunchaku. Twin staves of dense wood, connected by a short chain.
  11. Tessen. Folding fans with outer spokes made of heavy plates of iron which were designed to look like normal, harmless folding fans. Warriors could take these to places where swords or other overt weapons were not allowed, and some swordsmanship schools included training in the use of the tessen as a weapon. The tessen was also used for fending off arrows and darts, as a throwing weapon, and as an aid in swimming.
  12. Mace. A ball of metal attached to the end of a shaft of dense wood. Sometimes studded with spikes, it requires a good amount of strength to wield.
  13. Morning Star. A spiked metal ball attached to a chain connecting it to a shaft of dense wood. Also requires good muscle power to use effectively.
  14. Battle Axe. A powerful weapon, with either one or two axe heads connected to a long shafts of very dense, hard wood.

Barachel the Buzzite of the Kindred of Ram

No Merc with mouths? Wade Wilson Age 15 Appearance: red and black full body suit, face unknown, muscular build (wow!) Weapons: dual katana, kusarigama. Description: insane, yet hilarious joker, excellent swordsman. Knows little of himself or his family. likeable, though sometimes exasperating. dearly loved by himself.

Wrote this hastily, so I'm revising it.

Okay, done with my last edit. My character can now handle more weapons. Happy? ;)

@Sarah–We're planning on starting an RPG (role-playing game), probably on General Chat Topics, based on The Story That Never Ends/The Prince of the Fallen. It will take place 20-30 years after the story, but in the same area. We're creating characters so that we can make up our own story, with us as the characters! :) (And it's gonna be awesome!)

I am going to make a request that everyone post their final copy of their character’s description below this line!

Okay, thanks to Jimmy and his sis, I've come up with some guidelines for our RP. Here's what I've got: *1.* As we're just starting, the only kingdom we will be exploring in this RP will be Alavaria, the kingdom we're writing about in TSTNE. However, you may be a character from another nation, only in Alavaria. The timeline will be about -2- 30 years after the events in TSTNE. *2.* Overpoweredness and logic-defying actions won't be allowed here. This is to make it fair. So, if you're surrounded, no magic swords that can wipe out an army, or no apples that turn into ropes, or mercs with mouths who show with with machine guns. *3.* As this is *after* TSTNE, innovation will be allowed _to a certain extent_. A steam-powered boat is an example of an allowed innovation, but a machine gun, computer, or plastic cookie plate would not be allowed. *4.* When you create a new character, you will create a profile for them, listing name, age, appearance, weapon(s), and a brief description. For example: Jack the Ranger Age: 25 Appearance: Wears a black tunic over dark grey trousers, with black boots. He wears a dark cloak over the tunic, which is fastened with a broach that appears to be a flaming bird. Weapons: Longbow and throwing knives. Description: Jack is a serious individual, not given to small talk or silliness. He carries a great burden on his shoulders, after his family was slain during the raids of the Multaka a 5 months ago. He is a powerful warrior, and a good man to have at your side in a pinch. *5.* To talk to others *outside* of the RP, use the acronym for Out Of Character, OOC. To resume your character's actions, use the acronym for In Character, IC. For example: _I walk into the inn and see Carissa's character_ OOC: What's the name of your character again, Carissa? IC: _I walk over to her, and say_ "Where are the donuts you promised me?!"
*UPDATE #1*: The backstory of this time setting is that Alavaria has had a period of peace, following the War of Freedom (the name for the conflict going on in TSTNE). However, there are rumors of strange goings on in the outermost colonies of Alavaria. Some small villages have disappeared entirely, and no one knows why. There have also been an increasing number of coastal raids, but no large-scale attacks. Some say that a rogue member of the Old Council is back for revenge, and is gathering an army. Others say that another nation, Multakor, is to blame. This is my example backstory, that I think would be okay to use here. However, I am open to ideas and suggestions. If you guys feel we should scrap this backstory entirely, let me know. *UPDATE #2*: This RP will be placed about *30 years* after TSTNE, to give Jimmy and the other contributors room to write. Otherwise, if they didn't want to use the events that happen here, they can still continue the story without worrying about the timeline.

God's Maiden of Virtue

@Sam: Good point.
Just edited some things for my character. Still debating with the shortsword or tessen…I'm really not crazy about the tessen. You really think I'd like it better?

Name: Eryana Age: 18 Appearance: Long, wavy brown hair, that reaches a couple inches past her hips; is nearly always pulled back in a French braid, to keep it out of the way. Has brown eyes. Is 5'7" in height. Wears a plain, dull green dress, with slightly wide, open sleeves, and tighter sleeves beneath those reaching just above her wrists. Weapons: Recurve bow.

Okay, here it is. I'm also posting it on my IY page, as requested.

Turner the Adventurer

Age: 21

Clothing: Black all around; tunic, trousers, and boots. Also wears a black cape and hood, which usually hides his face from view. Generally refuses to use armor at any time.

Appearance: Low-cut brown hair and short brown beard. 6'2, and fairly muscular build.

Weapons: Ancient-looking broadsword. Is also excellent with any kind of bow, and says he can handle a mace and a battle axe, but his sword is always his weapon of choice.

Description: Despite his secretive look and ways, those who manage to become his friends will find that he will open up to those he thinks he can trust. He can generally control his temper, but he has been known to fly into fits of rage when greatly irritated. Is especially ferocious in battle; but can be extremely tender if the need arises. Virtually nothing is known by anyone about his family history, and the history of even his recent past is shrouded in mystery. Rumor has it that he was once a noble in a far-off country, but recently came to seek his fortune in Alavaria.

She takes a while to trust people but when she does it takes a lot to shake her trust in them. She thinks that those who talk a lot are bragging/boasting and she very much dislikes bragging/boasting.
