Things were beginning to make more sense. The Luminous Chancellor Cedric Beauchamp hadn’t volunteered for the job because he was passionate about the matter, like Finn had. He didn’t want to help his people, or ease the suffering of animals, or heal the dying plants. He had volunteered because...
Finn couldn’t imagine such a thing--having so many people waiting on him hand and foot like this, so that anything he wanted done would be done so…quickly. Finn had been preparing for his journey for months. Not to mention the endless weeks of discussion between elders and leaders alike, not...
Finn grabbed his cloak from a servant and hastened to follow the Chancellor. They were of the same height, which was unusual for a wood elf and high elf. Typically, high elves were taller, much taller, but Finnarion Swift came from a tall, robust family. He had always loved that his father was...
Finn gaped. By sunrise? How much power did this one man hold if they could get together a traveling party and supplies by tomorrow morning?
He snapped his jaw shut with an audible clack. Then the Chancellor grinned at him. It was a handsome, seemingly genuine grin. Disarming. Brow furrowed...
A cook?
The Chancellor was suggesting they bring along a cook?
Finn blinked away his shock, wondering why he’d even been surprised in the first place. Of course a high elf would want to bring along a chef to make their four-course meals during a dangerous mission such as this. No doubt the...
The Chancellor was at least good at giving him useless responses. So far, Finn hadn’t noticed any high elves with interest in helping. Most of them only cared when something was affecting them…which was why Finn thought now would be a good time to broach the subject. It wasn’t affecting them...
The Luminous Chancellor was the most beautiful man Finn had ever met.
He also seemed, at first glance, the most dimwitted.
The Chancellor was blonde, with striking blue eyes, a perfect nose, and a well-shaped mouth that hung open like that of a landed fish when he saw Finn. Was he really that...
“He’s not usually this late.” The temporary representative for the Arcane Council, an anxious young woman, said from across the polished mahogany table.
Finn nodded. “I’m sure.” Half an hour he had sat here at this table, mostly staring at his reflection in its mirror-shine surface. For the...
Finnarion Swift preferred the simple things in life. A hearty meal of fish, grain, and berries for dinner. A warm bedroll by the fire. A canopy of stars above him. These things gave him joy, true joy, in a way that other things couldn't. Fresh air, a babbling brook, warm sunshine. It was heaven...
I did once. I followed one on here wayyy back when. <.< It was so, so good. I was riveted. Stellar writing, stellar characters, stellar setting. But I haven't been able to find it since. I think it had even died back then, or at least slowed down.
I am not sure if they knew I was lurking LOL...
I've doubled before. 3 times with same partner, actually. We planned the pairings, of course, but it was less 'I'll play this character if you'll play this one for me' and more my partner often brainstormed two companion characters (most of which had incredibly interesting backstories together...
I've been roleplaying for 15 years. I'm ghost-friendly. I tell people they can ghost anytime. No explanation required, radio silence welcome. Visit again in a year if you like, drop on by, say hello.
I'm in the minority. But over the years, I began to consider these things:
1. Time commitments...
...if they’re a full blown antagonist, but in an rp with @Chrysanthemum, there is a character who makes me feel icky without her being black and white evil.
This antagonist is actively helping and befriending one character while having a history of abuse and manipulation with another.
*shivers*
Okay I love so so many of them. All of my partners (past and present) are brilliant, evil geniuses.
But there's this one scene from an RP with @Chrysanthemum where her characters face shared horrors of their past while my characters face a shared horror of their present. It was a cool series...
Also, if you’re looking for good YA, I will also recommend Skyward by Brandon Sanderson. A book I have already re-read multiple times. It’s sci-fi ish, with no heists, but lots of great combat. 😍
