Yes! Of course you may join Adarian. I'd find it difficult to say otherwise to you.


Especially since we have an open slot.

 

[Rhythm Writer]

Well thank you! Is it possible to reserve a spot until I am able to post a well-thought out character sheet?

 

[SkyFilms]

Oh ya, reservations last a duration of 24 hours though.

 

[Rhythm Writer]

Okay! Thanks.

Title: Man of Shadows


Appearance:

Name: Leif Kolanthel


Nickname: Elvin or Shade


Age: 17


Gender: Male


Sexuality: Demi-Sexual


Species: Elven-raised Human


Power(s): Lief may become almost completely invisible. However, he only has the ability to do this for a minimal amount of time as it takes extreme concentration. It is also very difficult to use his powers when he is angry, scared, or feels threatened.


(Other abilities TBD)


Likes:

• Lief enjoys being alone and away from everyone. He is very aloof and prefers to be in secluded and dark places.
  
• His favorite pastime activity is thinking. Whether it be strategically for a battle/fight or just for fun. (Yes, thinking can be fun.)
  
• Lief loves hiding; has throughout his entire life. When he was younger, Lief would always win hide and seek when playing with the other kids his age. (Who eventually gave up on and got bored of trying to find him. Poor guy.)
  
• Although he insists on being alone, Leif secretly yearns for the presence of others. He hasn't quite learned that certain trait about himself yet though.
  
• His only real entertainment in life is playing with his pet, Raven. (Which so happens to be a crow.)
  

Dislikes: (At least five)

• Liars. Leif hates liars. (Well, everyone Leif comes in contact is a liar unless proven otherwise. He has very serious trust issues.)
  
• Running, being rushed, or being forced to do something. Patience is the key in life. Also, no one will tell him what to do unless worthy of it. (Again, the trust issues thing.)
  
• Getting in arguments with his pet. (May be hard to believe, but it happens quite often.)
  
• Daytime is way too bright. Who needs light anyways?
  
• Most of all, Leif hates being reminded of his childhood. Who he used to be.
  

Personality/backstory:


Leif Kolanthel comes across as a very quiet, independent, and unemotional person. However, it couldn’t be further from the truth. On the inside, Leif is a very loud person. He speaks with his thoughts. Thinking is something very important to Leif. He yearns for the presence of others, and his very will is driven from his intense, fiery emotions. Though, Leif is not one with himself. A constant battle with the person he is and the person he wants to be.


Leif has always been a great fighter. As a kid, the others would always try and pick on him because he was different. He was a human. He chose not to speak, and rather spend his words with his actions. Calm and patience is key. Leif learned this at a very young age. Despite his highly capable ability in the art of combat, Leif chose not to fight unless he felt it was needed.


Being able to fend for himself allowed Leif to gain respect of the other children. Eventually, they began to play with him. Leif’s favorite game was hide and seek. Oh yes, he was the ultimate master. He always had this special bond with darkness and being hidden. (Both physically, emotionally, and mentally.) Kids had a very tough time finding him. Several times, they would walk past him and he would sit there trying so hard not to laugh because Leif felt like he was in plain sight. Little did he know that he was really unable to be seen. Yes, he was invisible.

Skills: Leif can hide extremely well. He can jump as well as land ever so swiftly, from any height. In a battle, he can use his enemies thoughts or moves against them, as long as he stays calm. As soon as he is set off or becomes distracted, it is easy for him to lose control of the moment.


Weaknesses: Distractions, Light, noise, large amounts of people, and heat.


Preferred Weapon: Dagger-scythe

Animal companion: Raven

Other: Leif will eat anything, as long as it's not cooked.





 
I hope my character meets your expectations. If not, please let me know how I can improve. Thanks!

@Adarian


Mr. Scary Guy here has been accepted.


@Trignome


Will your other character be complete soon? Or have you decided to not have a second character? Which I am just fine with if that is what you wish.

 

[Trignome]

My apologies, Skyfilms.


I originally tried to make a swordsman for a 2nd character (that descended from a long line of bed & breakfast owners, and was challenged by his father to serve oatmeal to 10,000 various peoples because his father feared that the swordsman did not appreciate the fine art of brunch dining, so he goes about forcing oatmeal onto people even though actually his father was kidding, but of course the swordsman didn't know because he vowed not to return home until his father accepted him as a warrior...etc...) but couldn't think of anything substantial enough to be a complete character.


Or, rather, the whole thing just got ridiculous, and I felt I wasn't up for the challenge of RPing two crazy characters.


If the 7th spot has been on hold for these past few days because of me, I'm terribly sorry. Unfortunately, I'll have to give up my aspirations of RPing two characters, and just stick to my demonic shrub. So if there's anyone else seeking to join the RP, I guess there's one more spot open...?

 

[SkyFilms]

@Trignome


Oh goodness wow, that would've been a very interesting character for sure.


But thank you for informing me, don't feel discouraged.

 

[Rhythm Writer]

Cool! I hope my character works.

 

[The One Eyed Bandit]

Ah, may I be so bold to ask whether the seventh character slot for this is available or not? If it is may I reserve it?

 

[DaedricSkaarj]

well i do believe we have one more slot for a character soooo....go ahead

Lady Ellis, The Northern Blur


Name: Ellis PenbrookeNickname(s): Ell, Penny, Brooke, Lady Ellis, Lady Penbrooke


Age: 23


Gender: Female


Sexuality: Usually being indifferent towards romantic and sexual advances, most assume Ellis has no desire for such things, but, she does, in truth, have some interest in the matter, but is a rather 'tough nut to crack' when it comes to getting her to reciprocate one's feelings, despite this, it would be safe to say she's Heterosexual


Species: Human


Power(s): N/A


Likes:

• Snow. Having grown up in the northern regions of the continent Ellis is quite fond of the Snow, it giving her a nostalgic, homely feeling.
  
• Swimming. Ellis is particularly found of swimming, it serving as both a good stress reliever and decent exercise.
  
• Soldiers and Warriors. She holds a respect for those that follow a martial lifestyle, something she's held since she was a teenager.
  
• Planning. As a somewhat high ranking member of the military, Ellis has needed to develop a talent in planning and strategy, and, in the process has grown to somewhat enjoy it.
  
• Dolls. A more... Secret liking of hers she's held since her youth, Ellis is fond of stuffed dolls. Though she tries not to show it, spotting one she likes the look of will often lead her to break her usual calm demeanor, and buy it on the spot.
  
• Training. Unlike most who actively dislike the training and exercise required to lead a martial career, Ellis actively enjoys it, viewing it in a similar manner she does her habit of Swimming, namely, as a stress reliever and time killer.
  

Dislikes:

• Traitors. Alongside personal reasons, being a member of the military presents this as somewhat of a given for Ellis, who is often involved in situations where the betrayal of a few could lead to the deaths of many.
  
• Underground. Ellis has a fear of caves, tunnels and underground spaces in general. She is very hesitant to enter them and when inside must exert active mental effort to stop herself from hyperventilating.
  
• People who don't trust her. Ellis holds the belief that trust is the first, and most important step to anyone working as a team or squad, and is, as a result, rather distasteful of those who are unwilling to put their lives in her hands as she will with hers in theirs.
  
• Bookworms. Despite being easily mistaken for one herself, Ellis is rather adverse to those who chose to spend their time locked away on their own with a book. She doesn't exactly hate them, but thinks of their habits as needless wastes of time.
  
• Spicy Food. She can't deal with spicy food. At all. Even the slightest amount of spice in her food is too much for her.
  

Appearance:

Preferred Weapon: Scimitar & Buckler

Personality:


As the younger of two sisters, with her elder being an exuberant, extroverted girl, Ellis developed a very patient, quiet persona at a young age, growing used to being overshadowed by her louder, more energetic older sister. As a young girl Ellis was exceptionally distant, always lurking somewhere in her elder sisters shadow, seeming like the stereotypical, bookworm sort of girl, a stark contrast to her out and outgoing younger sister. Contrary to this though, Ellis held little interest in books, instead showing a tendency to mimic her elder sister, following her her habits of active physical activity, despite her silent and stoic nature.


Because of this, Ellis can be described as whose personality lays in stark contrast to her habits, she finds her greatest moments of clarity and relaxation when surrounded by the stillness of silence, but would sooner spend her free time training or exercising rather than reading a novel, she carries extremely passive mannerisms and manners of speech, but is one of the most unrelenting warriors one could fear to meet on the battlefield, and so on and such-forth. Having developed since childhood, one should not confuse her passive manner of speech for a quiet one, Ellis is easily able to make herself heard in the most crowded of room, speaking with a smooth, cold, blunt and unflinching manner of speech, her emotions not exactly being hidden as she talks, but rather not present at all, rarely displaying strong emotion, it only surfacing when she finds something exceptionally, shocking or pleasing. This also carries over to her physical mannerisms and fighting techniques, she carries herself smoothly and efficiently, giving off the presence of some who does not waste a single iota of effort on the unnecessary, almost seeming as if she plans out things as simple as walking down a hallway in advance, step by step. Unlike many who hold a warm, friendly or compassionate personality beneath their cold exterior, the first impression one has of Ellis is likely to be the right one, she is in no way a of 'You shouldn't judge a book by it's cover'


In the past she has been described as the snowy tundras of her homeland made human, holding a serene sort of beauty in her personality and appearance, but able to people a blinding, merciless snowstorm at a moments notice, washing away all that stands in front of her with the merciless, blank, whiteness of the snow.


Despite all of this, it is important to note that Ellis is indeed human, and, even with her usual seemingly unphasable personality, when she does succumb to fear or anger, she outright shatters, breaking her usual visage and tumbling into a mess of emotion, this is usually the result of her bottling up her emotions, an unfortunate habit she developed during childhood, so not to steal the spotlight from her beloved elder sister. Speaking of, she holds, or rather, held a large degree of respect for her sibling, her childhood mimicry of her being the very reason she took up a position in the king's military, but, this is something that lays in the past, due to her sisters betrayal during a key battle against an enemy force, leading to the death of hundreds of soldiers under her own command, and the development of Ellis's strong distaste of liars and traitors.


Skills:

• Speed. Ellis has not earned her title as The Northern Blur for no reason, she is able to both move and attack with monstrous swiftness, reaching the point where she can appear to the naked eye as well, a blur. Her speed is comparable to those who enhance themselves via magical means, and, in cases where long, sustained battles are involved, even surpassing them.
  
• Evasive. Coming hand in hand with her blinding speed, Ellis is easily able to predict and evade enemy attacks, dancing around foes of a lesser speed and wit with ease.
  
• Attentive. Ellis is easily able to focus on, and pick out the details of things, especially combat styles and techniques, allowing her to effectively, evade, and adapt to them.
  
• Skilled Combatant. To be able to fight at the speed Ellis does, at least without any magical aid, one must have an excellent understanding of combat, and more importantly, know her to execute it. Ellis is no exception to this, having mastered her chose form of swordplay, which focuses on a lack of theatrics, wasted movements and deadly efficiency.
  
• Cool-Headed. As her personality would suggest, Ellis is extremely hard to provoke and is easily able to stay calm in even the most stressful and dangerous scenarios.
  

Weaknesses:

• Normal. Ellis possesses no supernatural abilities or resistances at all. She is easily effected by magical attacks and can do little to protect herself from them other than evasion.
  
• Like-Glass. Because of her evasive method of fighting, Ellis is not exactly used to taking a hit. As a result she has little resistance for damage, and will go down very easily once a few good blows have been landed.
  
• Too Forgiving. Despite her personality Ellis has a hard time passing someone off as good or evil, and can be tricked by one of greater wit into believing their intentions are not of ill-will, regardless of past actions, leaving her open to attack and betrayal.
  
• Fear of the Underground. Stemming from an unfortunate incident in her childhood, Ellis has a crippling phobia of caves, tunnels, and any underground spaces. Within them she has to actively focus on staying calm, and is essentially unable to battle.
  
• Long Fuse, Explosive Reaction. Despite her extremely long fuse, when one does manage to enrage Ellis she flys into an almost berserk state, unable to think rationally, and is essentially useless in both combat and planning. This applies to all her negative emotions, she doesn't just get sad, she becomes depressed, she isn't just scared, she's petrified, and the list goes on.
  

Other:

• Alongside her sister, Ellis was knighted by King Ruvyn at the age of Twenty-One
  
• Her sister is currently one of the most-wanted people in the kingdom. With a bounty of $500,000 Coin.
  
• Ellis is surprisingly skilled at baking cookies.
  
• She was once offered a position in the Royal Guard, but immediately refused and returned to her post in the North.
  
• She really bloody likes ice cream.
  
• She has a bad habit of oversleeping.

...I'm not sure how to say this after being accepted into the group...but I might have to pull out of this RP altogether.


This is probably a huge inconvenience for the group, since we just hit the 7 people magic number and the RP is just about ready to start, but I didn't want to have to drop this RP after it's started...and just leave a huge character gap in my wake...


So the situation is this: I had a 1x1 RP in Iwaku Roleplay a few months ago that reached a hiatus point when my partner said she needed a break from RPing for a while. Um...she's started messaging again last night, asking if we could resume the RP. I don't want to give up the project that I've already done for so long, so I said yes, and we're starting again in a few days. It's an intensive RP that's probably going to cut back a lot of my free time, so I thought that I'd probably have to drop one of the group RP's that I'd joined in the past month to make room for it.


And unfortunately...this happened to be the most recent RP I joined, and also the one that would have the least amount of repercussion if I left it. (Both of the other RPs are several pages in, and my character's already met up with the other characters within the stories.)


I apologize for the inconvenience that I'm causing, but do not think I'll have time to write quality posts and really immerse my characters into their respective plots if I participate in three group RPs and a 1x1 RP. Sorry again for pulling out so soon after joining.


I hope everybody won't be too mad at me for doing this...I'm not sure what else I could do...

Where'd Sky go?
