That looks great! :)

1stoops down to get eye-level with the table Is that sharp? (we could find out!)

slams both katanas into table Ha! see, we can do it too!

This is not going to be a rehashing of TSTNE. This is roleplay, not storytelling. A story can be told by a roleplay, however. If you have a lot of time on your hands, go to the LEGO Legends of Chima RP thread, and look up posts on the Gorilla HQ, Lion HQ, Elemental Villains HQ, and Molten Mountan from June, a few months before, and a few months after. I was part of the RP back then, and we had such a story as could fill two books!

Anyway, check out the link I posted. See how RP works there, it's about the same anywhere else.

Okay, I'll do that! :)

Thanks Carissa for pointing out that my character didn't have a flaw! I did put one in, but it probably should have been a lot clearer than it is. I'll update the description so it's more obvious:

Name: Amarisa Deividson
Age: 17
Appearance: Long blonde hair, blue-green eyes, 5’9. Wears a white dress, dark brown boots, and a light blue cloak.
Weapons: Bow and arrows. She has a dagger but rarely ever uses it.
Description: Amarisa’s family has lived in Alavaria for generations. Her grandfather was killed during the War for Freedom. Personality-wise, people often compare her to a deer, since she tends to be shy, quiet, and gentle, but also pretty and graceful. She is a peacekeeper and would rather settle for second best than start a conflict. Because of this combined with her quiet nature, she often doesn't stand up for what she knows is right. She has an uncannily strong memory, especially for visual input.

Wow… I knew typical real RPGs were more complicated than the one we're planning on, but I didn't know they were this much more complicated… Do you think we could actually convince the mods to start a whole new forum for it?

Complicated to look at, easy to actually do. Maybe we could, if we have enough support. The Forums are here to encourage community, after all. And, if we have the appropriate guidelines and rules, I don't see why not.

Lets just go!

The number of weapons is up to you. Whether your character can carry all of them is the thing. ;)

What if I my girl is some crazy creature and has 50 arms, can I have a weapon for each arm? Lol

LOL! I don't think that's legal, though. :-(

You know, if it hadn’t been for my sister’s observant eye one of you (I won’t say who) almost ended up with a character that had six fingers…. :P

Okay, I have a drawing question… Dose anyone have any thoughts about sleeves? Are no sleeves on a dress or suite acceptable? Of course, I am using common sense here but I’m just wondering how short sleeves can be and still be called modest?

I'd say even sleeveless is okay.

my opinion is that it depends on the fit- sleeveless is fine, as long as it fits well around your arm. Its not modest to have a sleeeveless item that goes low and shows certain straps and such. spaghetti straps are obviously NOT modest.

You're drawing everyone's characters? suppresses a squeal of delight Awesome!!!

my opinion is that it depends on the fit- sleeveless is fine, as long as it fits well around your arm. Its not modest to have a sleeeveless item that goes low and shows certain straps and such. spaghetti straps are obviously NOT modest.

Very good clarification. I don't think Sarah would do that, however.

Here are all the characters so far…

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*

Azarenken of Forenton

Age: 18

Appearance: Wears a long reversible cloak that is white on one side and dark blue on the other. Never wears his hood. Has carefully and intricately crafted boots and arm guards to protect from stray arrows or sword blows. Wears a dark blue shirt and has dark blue trousers.

Weapons: Uses two swords of relatively small length. It gives him greater mobility. He has no protection by way of shield, but he trusts to his ability to maneuver quickly and skillfully.

Description: Azarenken is in no way secretive about his person. He is not prideful, but he still likes for people to know who he is and to know who they are dealing with when they come across him. He loves people and is incredibly loyal to friends or to causes. He loves to practice his sword-fighting skills amongst his friends, and it is his dream one day to be like his famous relative, Sir Quinn. Above all things, he is inquisitive. This curiosity, however, often conflicts with a real fear which he has for death and betrayal. Perhaps that is why he is so loyal: he doesn't want anyone to catch him off-guard or to stab him in the back.

Name: Sussana
Age: 18
Appearance (this is probably going to sound silly…): Long blonde hair and blue eyes. She wears white dresses but with a dark black cloak (is that the right word?) She is about 5'7".
Weapons: Slingshot, and a short sword…Her weapon of choice is definitely her sword.
Description: Is very reserved. Talks little and rarely shows how she truly feels but thinks a lot. She is lets others lead but stands up boldly for what she believes is right. 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.*

Adelaide Coleson

Age:16

Appearance: Typical lady apparel of the day, Dress and boots of darker colors but loves to wear a scarf to hide identity. Is quite pretty but that betrays her temper Has long wavy blonde hair, dark hazel eyes that express her emotions vividly.

Weapons: Very skilled with the bow and arrow and always hits the target every time. She also has a dagger with her but only uses it under the gravest circumstances. She is trying to learn the sword. She is also learning the dirk.

Description: Adelaide is sweet and obliging and very generous. She also has a very bad temper, but sticks to what she thinks and believes and very loyal. She hates to be thought of as “child” and wants to do the “adult” fighting but is a little to pushy and passionate about that. She is very fun loving and loves adventure but can always calm down and read. She is very good at espionage (That might come in later ☺). Her mother and two younger siblings died during a disease 2 years ago and is very sad and touchy on that subject. Father is a relative of the Count of Omb and has similar qualities.

Name: Lily Evangeline
Age: 18
Appearance: A young lady of six feet in height, with long blond hair and intense blue eyes. She wears a forest green dress, and a forest green cloak.
Weapons: Bow and Arrows, with a sword at her side.
Description: On one hand, she can be quite serious; on the other, she tends to be a little mischievous. She enjoys archery and swordplay. She has perfect aim with the bow and arrows, and her skill with the sword is ever improving.*

Name: Keilab the Green
Age: Unknown (Probably younger than he looks.)
Appearance: Wears a thick leather suit of armor stained a deep green. It has a hood, which he wears only when in combat. When it's not on, his hair is brown, kept short. He wears brown leather boots.
Weapons: Woodsman's axe; crossbow; daggers for both throwing and stabbing.
Description: Keilab is very studious, and spends most of his time in the company of a book. He prefers to stand aside and observe what little society his is in. Fluent in Alavarian and surrounding languages, he can talk to almost anyone, when he chooses to. He is always eager to defend "unarmed pedestrians". He disappears for long periods of time into the forest to read a book.

James

Age: 17

Appearance: About 5 11', fairly muscular build, bright blue eyes, a kind face, and short brown hair. wears a black tunic and trousers, with black boots. He also has a hood, but only wears it when he is trying to stay hidden.

Weapons: A dark green bow, with brown arrows. He also carries a medium length sword that he can use with great skill in close combat. Has a small dagger hidden in his tunic if he needs it.

Description: Despite his dark clothes he is actually very bright and optimistic. Usually has a big smile on his face unless something serious happens. He comes from the land of Pennoh where there are some legends about the people there. He claims that's why he came to Alavaria, but he won't say any more. He is very quick and light on his feet, but if need be, he can stand as still as a statue. He is also very flexible, and is very stealthy. Has plenty of compassion and is hard to make angry, but when he loses his temper he can be quite ferocious. He seems to be hiding a secret, but no one can tell what it is.*

Edward the Young Man
Age: 18

Appearance: Is tall for his age, and has brown hair and brown eyes. Has a great smile, which you may see often. Wears a light brown tunic, with a few things tucked inside. Has dark brown boots. He also has a brown cloak just in case he needs it. Notice that everything's brown: good for hiding in the woods.

Weapons: Recurve bow and arrows, and his father's knife.

Description: Edward has been through a lot in his life: His mother died when he was four from an attack from an unknown person. Edward wants revenge on whoever did. His father is a cook, and the owner of a tavern near the Kenridge Mountains.
Sir Quinn is related to him. He can be very stealthy and move without a sound. Edward likes to joke around, and can come up with some clever plans. Rather speedy. Likes adventure and exploring.

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. Also keeps a shortsword/tessen [still debating] 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.*

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.

Weapons: Two short swords.
Description: Pretty fast. Donovan has lots of disguises for when he goes into town, and fakes that he's a merchant, or something. His great uncle was Sir Myles, but he's not quite as traitorous.

my opinion is that it depends on the fit- sleeveless is fine, as long as it fits well around your arm. Its not modest to have a sleeeveless item that goes low and shows certain straps and such. spaghetti straps are obviously NOT modest.

Ditto! :)

BTW, I already drew Aubrey… I mean, if you want to draw her that's cool too. But in my picture, she has long sleeves that kinda flare at the bottoms…

@Sam, you can take Lady Adalinna off the list - unless someone else is going to use her. I'm not anymore. :)

I made one on my page too

……We're not doing superheroes here, Stefani. Go to page 144 for the Guidelines.

is no longer confused
oh ok . Now i get whats going on

Okay, that's fine! I'd love to see your drawing sometime.. :) I am going to try to illustrate some of the pictures from the story as we go along… The first thing I have to do is get down what the characters look like. :)

My great grandpa had 6 fingers!

And I have a war fan ;)

Yikes! ….but cool! :)

ok lets try this again :D

My Character

Name: Madeline Wons
Age: 16
appearance : classic - refuses to wear anything but wool or cotton. Long dark brown hair that reaches her toes-her hair comes in handy for different things (in a rapunzel like way) she wears dresses that go to the bottom of her knees, and a long black wool coat -even in summer. To disguise herself she often flips up the collar of her coat, and wears a fedora.
Weapons-javelin and pocketknife . She keeps them hidden at all times though.
Description: Maddi is a loyal individual. She has a slight problem with pride, and she often puts her thoughts in poem form. Her family backround is unknown to even her.

Last changes!!!

NAME: Jordan Victor AGE: 20 APPEARANCE: About 6'3, wears a cloak and dresses always in black (he also has a hood) He is also strong DESCRIPTION: Very fast and competed in gymnastics and got 1st in rings. Also, he is a bounty hunter,it will be hard to convince him to be good.. PERSONALITY: If you don't get him mad, then he is nice (faking) WEAPONS: Morning star and small dagger and war fan (if needed) . In danger, he has a shield in his pocket than expands

my opinion is that it depends on the fit- sleeveless is fine, as long as it fits well around your arm. Its not modest to have a sleeeveless item that goes low and shows certain straps and such. spaghetti straps are obviously NOT modest.

Very good clarification. I don't think Sarah would do that, however.

I didn’t think we were dealing with the spaghetti-strap era… but had to make sure. jk

Sarah, I love your picture for your character - you draw very well!
Did I hear that you're planning on drawing all of the characters? I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Yes. Thank you! My goal is to have all the profiles pictures done by New years day, Lord willing. I will be sending them to my cousin who will find some way of getting them to all of you. :)
(P.S. please pray I don't get writers cramp in my drawing hand… half joking.) :D

Should I re-post my character?

If you want to, but I posted the character list on the previous page.

That's great! I greatly look forward to it! I always enjoy seeing people's drawings. :)

@Sam: In the next version of your list, could you update my description? I just expanded it:

Name: Keilab the Green
Age: Young adult, exact age unknown. (Probably younger than he seems.)
Appearance: Wears brown leather boots and a thick leather suit of armor stained a deep green. It has a hood, which he wears only when in combat. His hair is brown, and kept short. He wears brown leather boots. He refuses to cumber himself with adornments.
Weapons: Woodsman's axe; crossbow; daggers for both throwing and stabbing.
Description: He is very studious, and prefers to stand aside and observe what little society his is in. But he is always eager to defend "unarmed pedestrians" with his crossbow, sometimes showing up out of nowhere to do so. A excellent horseman, and none too slow on foot, he can appear on a scene and disappear before his presence is fully realized. He disappears for long periods of time into the forest to read a book.
Foremost Vice: He has a very nasty tendency to look into things that aren't his business. Perhaps this stems from his care for others, but all too often he exceeds the bounds of courtesy…

Okay, THANKS!

Storyline

It has been 30 years since the Fall of the Council, and Alavaria has enjoyed peace. The era of kings is over, and Alavaria is governed by the new People's Assembly, composed of representatives from every major region of the Kingdom, and headed by the Committee of Five, the remaining heroes of The War of Freedom ( Still haven't decided on which five heroes. Kathryn is one, maybe Britton and William. Jimmy said that Ronan "…will not remain going South forever." in a recent post, so I take it to mean he'll die soon. Correct me if I'm wrong.). Under their leadership, Alavaria has thrived, becoming an international center of trade and commerce, known across the world. The capital of Alavaria is Kolath City, the City of Peace, and is home to the Hall of Assembly. The nobles live in the upper ring of the city (I've envisioned it as an enormous city surrounded by a circular wall, with two ascending levels of concentric circular walls within.), while the common people and most of the industry are in the middle and lower rings. It is here that the Guilds of Science, History, Military, and Religion are located, each teaching a specific facet of Alavarian culture. The guilds themselves are divided into sub-groups according the their many distinct parts, and the greatest minds of the kingdom come from them. In the midst of this oasis of peace and prosperity, there is a dark side. There have been rumors of trouble in the outer colonies, and one village was found completely empty, with houses and possessions intact, but the people gone. No one knows the cause of these events; some say that a band of notorious raiders, the Multaka, are to blame, others say that one of the old Council members has returned for revenge. Whatever the case, it is clear that troubled times are ahead for Alavaria…………….

So, what do you guys think?

Sounds good.

Looks great!

nice!

Awesome!

Awesome! ;)

Cool, Sam! Also I made a couple changes to my character. Nothing much though.

James of Pennoh

Age: 17

Appearance: About 5 11', fairly muscular build, bright blue eyes, a kind face, and short brown hair. wears a black tunic and trousers, with black boots. He also has a hood, but only wears it when he is trying to stay hidden.

Weapons: A dark green short-bow, with brown arrows. He also carries a short-sword that he can use with great skill in close combat. Has a small dagger hidden in his tunic if he needs it.

Description: Despite his dark clothes he is actually very bright and optimistic. Usually has a big smile on his face unless something serious happens. He comes from the land of Pennoh where there are some legends about the people there. He claims that's why he came to Alavaria, but he won't say any more. He is very fast and light on his feet, but if need be, he can stand as still as a statue. He is also very flexible, and is very stealthy. Has plenty of compassion and is hard to make angry, but when he loses his temper he can be quite ferocious. He seems to be hiding a secret, but no one can tell what it is.

Great! I can later expand a bit on Pennoh, the people, the culture, etc, with your permission.

BTW, I was thinking. I could open a sort of….pseudo-RP….to satisfy those of you who want to start now. I could give you a scenario, and have you "act it out" on your own, so to speak. It wouldn't take the place of the real one that's coming, but would give you something to have fun with. What do you think?

That sounds awesome!!!

How did I know you'd be the first to respond? :)

That sounds cool!

I think I'll start it with you and Jackson, if you two are online right now. Sound good, Jackson?

All right. :)

I'll give Jackson 10 more minutes to respond, then I'll go ahead and do it.

EDIT: It's been 12. Starting it now.
