Mail them to me and after viewing them I'll post them in a different tread. That way we can keep the story and discussion separate, it might make things a bit easier.

Alright! what's your mail cipher?

werebeargoddess · Post by **werebeargoddess** » Sat Oct 23, 2004 7:38 am

yeah, I'll need your mail address as well. Unless you just want me to pm it to you, of course.

Golden Lion 86 · Post by **Golden Lion 86** » Sat Oct 23, 2004 5:53 pm

My apologies, the thought slipped my mind. You can still expect a part (Cipher anyway), but only a little later today.

cipher · Post by **cipher** » Sat Oct 23, 2004 7:14 pm

You can just PM me with all your story parts for the time being.

Good luck and happy writing

I'll try to get my characters starting part in within th next couple of days.

The Story thread was just created and the first post is in (I hope everyone likes it!)

Would evil characters be allowed to join the party?

werebeargoddess · Post by **werebeargoddess** » Sun Oct 24, 2004 7:49 pm

Frankly, I'm not sure. Maybe. But do you really want an evilly aligned character? He'd run into a whole lot of trouble with the other characters. Pretty much all of the other characters would hate him, and he them. Would you really want to do that to your character?

Golden Lion 86 · Post by **Golden Lion 86** » Sun Oct 24, 2004 11:47 pm

Please forgive the delay yet again. I begin immediately. Cipher, you should see my PM within the hour.

I sent the part, but it is also stored in my sent items folder. This is probably normal, but let me know if there is a problem.

I'm not in favor of having evil characters in the party, partly becuase there would be to much turmoil between the members.

But if you want you could design a evil character to rival the party in someway.

btw- your post will be posted by the end of the day, i've recieved a numerous post and it will take me a while to read them. I also have a every busy day infront of me. I promise that they will be posted some time today, sorry for the inconvience.

Do you mind if we post in our own names when we get the go-ahaed?

cipher · Post by **cipher** » Mon Oct 25, 2004 4:39 am

@ golden lion 86

The elf at the bar at the end of your part is that my character or cipher's? I was wondering because mine is a half elf, and cipher's doesn't use swords.

ungor451 · Post by **ungor451** » Mon Oct 25, 2004 6:35 am

Well, I wasn't going for a blatantly evil or thug like, pushy char that will constantly be picking fights with party members but somebody of a more subtle evil.

Sytze · Post by **Sytze** » Mon Oct 25, 2004 9:54 am

I would like to join in as well, if that is okay.

Name: Sytze Wolfshaw
Race: Half-Elf
Gender: Male
Age: 20
Eyes: Dark brown
Skin: light with a slight tan, caused by spending much time outside in the sun
Hair: Short, with a slight curl in it.
Length: 1,74m. (5,9??)
Weight: 64 kg. (141??)
Languages: English and a bit of Elvish
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Patron Deity: Follows no God.
Class: Ranger (abilities mixture between an Archer and a Blademaster, though the focus lies on the Archer)
Level: Is this really important? If so; lvl 6

Equipment: Longbow, Katana and a Dagger. Sytze wears normal clothes with a bit of leather protection at certain parts of his body. Also wears a hooded cloak, but uses his hood only in certain situations.

Personality: Sytze has a clear view of those around him. When first meeting a person, he has the tendency to judge someone immediately, without actually knowing the person. This often brings him into trouble, because he opens his mouth and expresses his opinion before thinking. People see him as a fairly intelligent and confident person and that is also how he behaves. Behind this appearance lies insecurity though, because Sytze often doubts his actions and ask himself whether or not he did the right thing and if there wasn't a better solution…

Abilities: From youth, Sytze developed an amazing ability to shoot incredible fast and accurate with the bow. During his life, he tried to perfect this art and spent most of the time practising with the bow. His father however, would not want him to rely on his ranged capabilities alone and taught him the art of two weapon fighting. When fighting, Sytze soon discovered that he had to trust more on his agility, speed and finesse than on his strength. He therefore decided to fight with a dagger and a katana. This fighting style gives him an advantage in battle, because he is quite fast and deadly with these two weapons.

History: Sytze spent most of his life in his parents’ village. His father was the leader of the town and often told his son stories about wars and valiant battles fought by great heroes. In this village, Sytze also met his friend; Ahrand. In the years they spend in the village, they were often seen together practising swordsmanship.

When Sytze and Ahrand both turned eighteen, they decided to head out in the wild; exploring the world and experiencing life. After a year of travelling, they accidentally got involved in a battle between humans and a combined army of orcs and trolls. Apparently, the battle was already going on for quite some time. Bodies littered the field and grass ones green was coloured dark red. The two friends joined in the battle, trying to disable the strong trolls first, hoping to demoralise the orcs. After a few minutes of fighting, human reinforcements arrived and the orcs and trolls were pushed back. Killing whatever opponents still left, the human army lowered their guard and gathered their wounded.
Sytze walked to one of the officers, hoping to gather information as well as a new supply of arrows. During the battle he ran out of them, and at the end of the fight he fought with his katana and dagger. Just when he opened his mouth to speak, a body flew over his head, followed by a rain of arrows; orcish reinforcements arrived, too. Caught off guard, panic soon broke out among the humans who were not expecting another fight. Sytze quickly drew his weapons and charged a few orcs. Swinging his weapons with great speed and finesse, he managed to kill or injury a couple of orcs. Meanwhile, the humans had gathered their senses again and tried to stop the vile creatures’ onslaught.
Slightly out of breath, Sytze started looking for Ahrand. Just when he spotted his friend and ran towards him, a troll blocked his way. Preparing for a difficult fight with the troll, Sytze suddenly felt a huge blow; a second troll hit him in the shoulder. A huge pain overwhelmed him and soon after everything became black.

When he woke up, he was lying in a tent belonging to one of the army officers. It turned out that when he lost consciousness, the army was already losing and drawing back. One of the soldiers had picked him up and took him to safety. A cleric had taken care of his wounds.

Sytze got out of bed and started looking for his friend, but was unable to find him. Ahrand was neither lying among the dead, nor the injured. Asking soldiers about his friend, he did not become any wiser either.

Since that day, he began his search for his friend. Visiting cities and exploring forests, every now and then travelling with other adventurers, traders or simply travellers. Over time however, Sytze gave up hope and he is uncertain about what to do now. Continue with his current existence and living as though Ahrand was still with him, go back to his home, or move on and search for new goals in his life...

It was cipher's, but I don't recall putting a sword to his name.

Ok, I see what you mean. That was an error on my part. Sorry

Thank you =)
I wanted to practice both my English as well as my writings skills, and this is an excellent way to do so. I will try to pm cipher with my part of the story around wednesday. I'm not sure if pm'ing cipher is the best way of posting, but I'm fine with it.
