OOC, Casting Call: Rise of an Empire..

[Quiet_Cool]

Name: Dust
Race: Dwarf
Age: 120 yrs.
Gender: Male
Description: Standing to four feet, and a few odd inches, Dust is fairly muscular from his working and his battle, but not so bulky to restrict his movement. He has long, light blue hair, hanging to his waist, and a blue beard, and often dresses in miner's clothing, preferring that to his battle armor.

Bio: One of the few remaining of his clan, which once was rich though they held little influence. Most of his ancestors' bloodlines ended when Rockholm was attacked, beginning the great war.
A miner by trade, but pressed upon to fight when necessary, he began to train as a warrior at a young age. This training was impressed by his father, who lived with the impression that he had been robbed of his heritage by the elves in fateful attack. Having learned well with both an axe, and with the short sword, Dust would prefer his shovel and pickaxe to any weapon. He respects his family's heritage as well as his father, and will stop at nothing to restore their pride, but wishes ultimately that they would merely accept their fate and live as peaceful miners.

Let me know if I screwed up anywhere. I wanted him to be old enough to be fairly wise, but young enough to be effective in battle without too many aches and pains afterward. Also, I wanted him to know humility more than pride.
Oh, and sorry for the delay...thought processes not as fast as they should be...

 

[Darklord]

Looks good to me..

QC, he looks good and has a nice little background history, we're up and running so lets get along little doggies!

 

[Madcap]

Name: Dayel Brightleaf

Sex: Male

Race: Half-Elf. His father was an elf, and mother was human.

Age: 70 in actuality, mid 30s in appearance

Appearance: Short blond hair. Short for an elf, basicly human in appearance. However, he has the pointed ears and bright shining eyes of his elven blood.

History: Dayel's mother was of the traveling people, a group of Nomads that traveled the lands in search of a home, and his father was a wealthy lord of elves. The lord's hear was captivated by the beautiful young lady and the two were soon wed. Dayel was the only child of the union.
Dayel grew up an outcast, however, as those of mixed blood are so often looked down upon and eventually he and his mother, as the lord of elves could not stand to see his love wither and die, sent the two back to the Traveling People. Before he left, though, Dayel's father taught him to use bow and sword to protect his mother, and sent with him a shining suit of armor that his father had crafted himself especialy for his son. Also, Dayel was given Bloodletter, the family's enchanted sword that dates back to the great war.
Years later, Dayel was in the woods praciting with Bloodletter, his family's caravan was attacked by Orcs and Goblins. Everyone was slaughtered. When Dayel returned to the carnage, he swore vengance and death upon every one of the foul beasts he came across, and has since spent his life hunting and killing any Orc or Goblin he came across.

Got room for one more ...

You got room for one more??? If so, will this one work.

Name: Rhuarc Flamebeard
Race : Dwarf
Height: 4'3"
Weight: 185 lbs
Build: Very muscular
Age: 193 years
Occupation: Blacksmith

Background: Rhuarc's family has been Blacksmiths throughout their recorded history. They had been the Blacksmiths to the royal family and his grandfather had died defending Greylin Grey Axe. The rest of the family had been forced to flee the stronghold during the fighting. His family had moved many times over the years to keep from drawing too much attention to their heritage.

The secrets of forging with the help of the Runes has been passed down in his family. He is able to make unsurpassed armor and weapons, which has provided his family with a good living.
He is skilled at using his weapons alsos and is most apt to use a double bladed axe in battle. He also can use a sword when needed. Under his tunic is a tatoo of the rune that his family has used for generations. He never shows that to anyone, because he feels it would bring bad luck.

Will this work for you ?

You have rats?! Oh, wait, you mean children don't ya, never mind...don't have any of them yet.

LOL I have three of them for rent. But I must warn you, after watching them, any aspirations that you had to have children of your own would utterly be gone.........

Sorry for any confusion guys, but I'm covering for Darklord until he gets back...at least, I think he meant this week...

 

[Zircon]

Got mil...I mean, got room for one more???...

Hi everyone,

Quiet_Cool and Darklord - I would like to join this thread if it is possible even though the thread stroyline has already started.

Your premise is what interests me so much, plus also the characters and settings.

I'll post a character if you let me, otherwise I'll just sit back and keep enjoying the thread from afar.

Thanx

 

[crysede]

OOC regarding River: I'm leaving the reason why the amulet/gem she has stolen is so important open, so if anyone wants to work an explanation into their posts, please feel free! It's a faceted, multicolored stone, any other details about the amulet are up to you. It would probably be a good idea to pm me if you want to do this though, just to make sure we don't wind up with more than one explanation

 

[Quiet_Cool]

Okay, Zircon...post your character, and when Darklord comes back, I'll make sure he checks it out, if he doesn't on his own...If you're in any other threads, where your writing and RP skills are available, let us know which ones...

 

[Zircon]

So far this thread has been a blast. It will be interesting to see how we can pull the other adventurers into the main party once we get the wagon train amoving. It is good to see that everyone for the most part has been participating pretty well , and the interaction is going well. I must say that this was a great thread idea DL .

Chewey

 

[Darklord]

I'm BAAACK!

Hey gang, I'm back and writing as always, the next time of problems may come about the 31st of this month and a few days after that when I'll be having shoulder surgery, so QC will run it those days, then I'll be pretty consistent after that, glad your all enjoying the thread.

[chewbacca71]

Hope no one minded me interjecting a little humor into the thread. I figured it had been sooo serious for too long, so I had to.

Chewey

 

[crysede]

Humor is good!

 

[chewbacca71]

Humor is good!

Excellent, most of the books always portray dwarves as very serious unless they are drunk. lol. Or is that Role players ???? hehehe

Chewey

 

[SpectralDragoon]

LOL

I think that may be a player thing.

"Not the beard!!!"

 

[chewbacca71]

Yup, I figured it was a player thing hehehe.

 

[chewbacca71]

Ok you two, are you going to start a fight in the tavern before we are even on the road? Hopefully these mugs of ale, will cool you off.

Chewey

 

[Paendragon]

LOL. My caharcter will always try the peaceful route first. He caries a staff for close combat because it's a defensive weapon, and also not very threatening.
