The Burden Years ( Roleplay )

sharkout • 16 March 2013 at 2:34 PM

Millenniums ago, humans had conquered the entire galaxy, and ruled supreme. But the empire started decaying. Its refusal to come up with new ideas dragged it down, and there seemed to be no hope for it. However, one man knew what was going to happen. He constructed a planet, one that would one day yield a new, grander empire. He put all his trust in this *one* planet, or so the public thought...

You are a citizen of New York, in the the year 2154. No one really believes that there once was an awe striking empire that founded Earth, except you and a couple others. You were chosen to become a member of an expedition into the vaster regions of the galaxy, one of the first to try and find out if the legends are true, and that centuries ago there was a galaxy wide empire. Little did you know that you would come across something this important...

Thanks! 😉 I'm glad This wasn't ignored! XD

ems • 16 March 2013 at 3:30 PM

@sharkout I'm interested! Prepare for Storm's early years. o3o

Name: Storm
Age: 13
Appearance: Short, tan, spunky-looking girl with freckles all over her face, trailing from each cheekbone to the other, crossing the bridge of her nose. Long, chocolate brown curly hair that cascades down to the middle of her back in big ringlets. She has deep green eyes that seem to stare into your soul. She wears a tattered, plain black tee shirt and thin white cargo Bermudas. She is a bit on the scrawny side, but not in an unhealthy way, it's just her build.
Personality: Storm does what she wants, when she wants to do it, and tried to be strong and brave, though inside she's often terrified. Losing both her parents changed Storm a bunch, and she often finds herself being more cold and hard on people than she once was, though she doesn't seem to care. She couldn't care less about what people think of her, but she would like to at least have one friend.
Gender: F
History: Storm's parents dies in a car crash when Storm was 6, sending the girl into a wide variety of different foster homes, each of which she ran away from, hating both the staff and the other children there. Eventually she made her way to the Big Apple, which was a big enough city to hide her homelessness from the police. Storm became a begger, and is constantly hungry. She dumpster dives, steals and begs for food water or sometimes shelter.
other: None

Ok! 😉 You are in! I want to wait till there are at least 5 players including us to start, sorry if there's a little wait! 😃

EDIT: LOL I made this and I forgot my form! XD XD


Name: Adam
Age:12
Appearance:Adam has short, bright orange hair and blue eyes that seem to always be observing and darting from one thing to the next, and is average hight.
Personality:Adam might be called a historian. He can solve most puzzles that bewilder others, and can make sense out of some things that don't make sense. Even though he usually takes precautions in his research, sometimes he just rushes into things to quench his knowledge a touch too fast.
History: Grew up as a normal schoolboy, brought up in NYC. Soon found that history was his life, loved learning about the past and putting together myths.
other: 😋

@sharkout @ems Hiii! This okay? Thanks for pinging too. 😃

Name: Ryan Owens
Age: 15
Appearance: Light brown hair that falls into his emerald green eyes. Medium/tall height, strong build, pretty much falls into the pale group. A few freckles across his nose. A scar runs from the middle of his cheek to nearly the bottom of his jaw, ruining the perfect picture.
Personality: Ryan always tries to stay cool and on top of things, even when inside he might be screaming. He also has a skill to make people laugh even when tension's high. Ryan was born as a really popular guy, and so he tends to want to stay that way, with tons of friends and girls staring at him. This has made him on guard with the group.
Gender: Male
History: Well he was born up as a popular guy with his athletic parents and older sister and younger brother. Ever since his brother died mysteriously, Ryan has been questioning things forever since.
other: Galaxy... cool!

YEESSZZZ We are starting. I call first post! 😃

Adam was excited. He finally had a chance to do what he always wanted to do, explore the reality of one of his most interesting myths. As the myth went, thousands of years ago humans had conquered the entire galaxy, and had the power of gods. The myth said that their technology was equal to their strength, and that they had machines that could distance between star systems in seconds and the passenger would never feel anything. Adam wanted to see if this was true- and if anything from the past could be salvaged.

ems • 16 March 2013 at 5:31 PM

@sandstorm99
@sharkout eUe Yay.

Storm woke as the morning rays shined over the smoggy city, over the horizon of skyscrapers. She sat up quietly, wondering what she'd do today. /Maybe I'll rob that thrift store.../ She thought absently, watching the polluted sky's clouds take on a pretty morning orange. The girl stood and left the allyway, blending into the crowded sidewalks that made her want to cringe, but hid her from the law inforcement. Her face was patched with dirt, her palms lined with the deep brown soil. Storm weaved through the streets alone, deciding to take a detour to the library. A few myths about the past always seemed to brighten her mood.

sandstorm99 • 16 March 2013 at 5:35 PM

@sharkout @ems

Whipee!! Sorry I'm late..

Ryan slipped his hands into his pockets as he walked down the stairs of his house, his eyes darting around the emptiness. Today was the day, where everyone else was gone, it was a day to do whatever he wanted. He thought about hanging out with his friends, then letting out all the animals in the zoo.. finally, he decided that he would look into the myths on the past. Like.. the empire. Brushing his hair out of his eyes, he scanned the shelves of his books, reaching out to grab the old leather bound book.

Storm finally made it into the library, and quietly slipped inside. Seeing no one important, she began to walk quickly towards the myth section. /Why are you even here? You have living to worry about./ Storm questioned herself.

j_chen • 16 March 2013 at 5:42 PM

@sandstorm99
Um, Okay? 😋

sharkout • 16 March 2013 at 5:44 PM

@sandstorm99 @ems


Adam had, out of pure reflexes, started to head toward the library, which was basically his home now, he spent so much time there. He wanted one last check of what to be looking for, right before he left. Also, he still had to pick companions, but since his friends were freaked out by exploring the unknown, it was going to be hard.

Storm drifted along, and had picked up five books without realizing it until her arms nearly gave out. She found a table, and sat all the books on it as she watched someone else enter the library. She opened a book, figuring the new guy wasn't noteworthy, and began to read each of the theories on the previous empire.

sharkout • 16 March 2013 at 5:57 PM

@ems @sandstorm99

Adam walked inside, and started searching through the bookshelves for what he wanted. When he found a book called "The theories and ideas about the long lost Empire," he was contempt and sat down to read. He was reading about the possible ways to manufacture a livable planet, when he looked over and saw a beggar looking at him. He would have paid no heed to her, except that he saw what she was reading. "Are you interested in the Empire too?" he asked politely.

ems • 16 March 2013 at 6:03 PM

When the guy asked if Storm was interested in the Empire, she wanted to kick herself. /Why can't you be the invisible begger girl?!/ She thought. This boy seemed about Storm's age though, and he asked kindly enough. So Storm lifted her dirty face from her book and nodded silently. "The stories give me something else to think about." She said quietly. The librarian waltzed over. She was an old, haggish lady with beady little eyes and miniscule reading glasses. "Wash your hands, girl." She croaked, "I don't want any of your nasty dirt in my books!" Storm gulped and stood. "Um... Could you make sure no one takes these while I'm gone?" She squeaked to the boy, and without waiting for an answer, she scurried off to the bathroom.

sharkout • 16 March 2013 at 6:13 PM

@ems

Adam was content to wait. He said, "Does she come here often?" The librarian said yes. He asked again, "What books does she usually read?" To this, the librarian was silent. "Well? What does she read?" The librarian gave a short answer. "Myths. They are not true, and of no importance." And he left. "Well! It looks like I've found a sufficient partner! Let's just hope she is on board with the journey...
