Refuge for the Epics (Literate RP)

whitefire • 2 November 2015 at 8:49 PM

You wake up in the middle of an island. It's not particularly warm, but not really cold either. It feels... nice. Pleasant. You lie back, enjoying the sun's rays as they filter through the forest's trees. It's peaceful here.

.:: Overview ::.
Obviously, your character has just woken up on an island. There's no real plot; the plot is what you bring in. This is kind of a free-style roleplay for building characters. You can bring in new characters at any time, and take them out just as easily. It's specifically for after the character's personal story takes place (Hence "Refuge for the Epics"), but pre-story and during story characters can enter. You can bring in your own stories, start wars, or whatever else.

.:: Island "map" ::.
It's a fairly large island, at least three miles wide by two long, with a mountain about 10,000 feet at its highest peak at the left corner of the elliptical island. There are tropical forests near the beach, surrounding a deciduous one. The beach is sand, and there's a large clearing in the middle. There are cabins scattered across the island that magically restock with food, bandages, clothing that fits itself to the characters, and healing water (an item that heals wounds automatically when drunk or poured on said wounds). It is in an indeterminate time period in a dimension separate from all other worlds. A peeling wooden sign at the right corner of the island reads "Heroes' Refuge--stay a while!"

.:: Rules ::.
1. Characters can be any species. Magical properties on the island make it so everyone can understand each other regardless of language barriers, though if a character speaks deliberately in a language so others don't understand it will not be translated.
2. Please no god-modding. God-modding is when you control someone else's character, even minutely. This includes overpowering characters (automatic kills, etc.) without the other character's owner's permission.
3. Be polite. Don't deliberately exclude people.
4. Don't roleplay characters off the island. You can take them off momentarily, but if you intend to keep roleplaying with that character please bring him or her back onto the island.
5. Please don't overuse character stereotypes (shy but really sweet, cold but kind once you get to know him/her, tragic backstory, etc.). A few of each are okay, but I don't want floods of them. Variety in personalities are what make a roleplay great.
6. You can have as many characters as you want, but make sure to actively use the ones still on the island. Inactive characters clutter the roleplay. If you're done with a character, please take him or her out--he/she can always come back later! Side/non-important characters don't have to have filled out forms; you can just bring them in and toss them back out just as quickly.
7. Please only bring in completely original characters. This means no fan-characters, characters based off of other book/TV series, etc. Only stories you came up with.
8. Please don't scene-skip. This confuses the roleplay.
9. Always ask before killing someone else's character.
10. Obviously, all other EggCave rules apply.
11. Please type in standard English. A few typos are okay, but please don't use text talk and continuously mess up grammar rules. Okay: "I wnet to the mall today; it was fun!" Not okay: "i wnet 2 the mall 2day, it was fnu"
12. Most importantly, have fun! c:

@whitefire

Name: Nix
Gender: Female
Approximate age: 17
Species: Best described as a were-tiger
Appearance: She has two forms, a human form and a tiger form.
Human; A medium height teenage girl with long golden-brown hair. She wears a black hoodie and long dark blue jeans most of the time. The only thing abnormal about her is her redish-orange eyes.
Tiger; The form she is seen in the most, a large snow white tiger with orange eyes.
Personality: It slightly differs to what form she's in but she mostly has a quiet nature.
In her tiger form she can be sarcastic and even sometimes violent or vain. She's not afraid to use her claws if someone gets out of line.
In her human form she's more approachable. She's mostly quiet, not often voicing her opinion unless its important. She socializes easier too.
Abilities: Can use telepathy to speak with others when she's a tiger. She can only use it to people close around her and can't control who hears her talking.
She can change from a tiger to a human but it takes energy and time.
Extra/other: No.


Probally will add more characters later.

@Queens
Accepted! c: Also, how do you get the bold font? I've been gone a couple years. ^^"

As for my character,
Name: Iukian
Gender: Female
Age: 13
Species: Jaguar-kyne (Kyne are defined as the bottom species, and the lore is mine; if you want to use a kyne, kinaie, or other mentioned species please talk to me first, as they're mostly for my books)
Appearance:
Human-shape--Iukian has straight, unruly, chest-length black hair shot through with streaks of dark brown and pulled up in a ponytail, which drapes gracefully over her shoulder. When she stands straight, as she rarely does, she reaches about 4'9". Her eyes are a glassy purple due to her blindness, but they become very clear and intense during her predictions. She has a rather broad chin and large hands and feet. She has a thin build, but she has muscles like a dancer's; hard to see unless you look. Her typical clothes consist of a large, old-fashioned leather-over-wool button-up coat, a pair of pants of the same material, and boots of also the same material. However, in her pack she carries an emerald skirt for warmer weather, and under her coat she wears an undyed grey tunic. Her skirt ties up with a leather sash, which has two hip flasks(one full of alcohol for cleansing wounds, and one full of water), two small packs (one of flint and one of dried food), and a small dagger all tied on. She carries, as I mentioned, a leather sack, that slings over one shoulder, and a large necklace dangles from her neck. The necklace has seven charms; from left to right these are: an owl-shaped wooden one, two purple rhombus-shapes, a hexagonal wooden one with her name carved into it in her native alphabet, two more purple rhombus shapes, and an elliptical teal one with "heart" carved in her native language. http://sta.sh/01d5n76ww4m1 http://flareice.deviantart.com/art/Iukian-569339453
Jaguar-shape--A thin panther of about 3'5" with the same glassy eyes as her human shape.
Personality: Iukian is a strange one. She may seem a bit bipolar at first, but once you've known her for a while you see a pattern in her attitude; she can come across as cool, but she seems to do this only for a shock value when she does something kind. She has a scathing tongue, crude language, and no end to her sarcasm; she comes from a time that would be considered the 11th-or-so century on Earth, in the very far north. She speaks mostly in street cant, though she'll talk in a civilized manner if she must and is very knowledgeable if you ask her the right thing. Of course, these things are only those practical for the survival of blind jaguar-shifting girl-child who is betrothed to a man thirty years older in a less-civilized time. She is considered an adult where she comes from, since adult-hood is earned rather than grown into, and is quite proud of it. If you prove yourself worthy of her attention, she can prove to be quite friendly.
Abilities: Jaguar-kyne, can predict the future to an extent
Extra/Other: She's blind and navigates mostly by sensing heat, as well as through hearing and smell. Also, sorry for the long descriptions; I've not written in a long time. XD

@whitefire Finally! A roleplay that included mythical abilities and creatures. I've been dying to use one of my characters...

Name: Arui Lyiari
Gender: Female
Approximate age: 25
Species: Human
Appearance (can have a picture but please also describe): She has black hair cut so that it looks like a messy bob cut, red eyes, and a purple flower henna on her right cheek. Arui wears a black tank top with a white long sleeved sweater at the bottom. and a purple coat that is flowing like a cape that looks like it has been used for a long time, such as the rips, burns, and scratches. She wears purple shorts, and long white socks that has black boots over them.
Personality: She is a kind hearted spirit who enjoys the presence of people often, but she often likes being alone. Even though she looks weak, Arui is pretty strong due to her power transfer. She doesn't like to fight at all, due to her dislike of mass genocide. When she does, Arui is ruthless... But will not choose to kill you at all.
Abilities: Energy Electricity, which she can use her energy to release electricity. Arui can use this to charge up metal objects or use the electricity on its own.
Extra/other: She formerly had two seperate personalities called Shio and Kara, but she gave up the two to make her powers stronger. She also has a dagger.

I dislike long posts, but when I do...

whitefire • 13 November 2015 at 5:18 PM

@Queens Thanks!
@NightmareMoon12 Accepted, and I'm glad you're enthusiastic about the plot! ^w^

Sorry for taking so long to reply; I've been busy and have had bad headaches all week.

featherstar_stormclan • 16 November 2015 at 12:52 AM

@whitefire I'm joining. I'm excited to see a RP like this that's literate too. It's also good to see you back. My two other forms are a work in progress so I will post them soon.

Name: Alyss
Gender: Female
Approximate age: 18
Species: Witch/Sorceress whichever term you prefer.
Appearance (can have a picture but please also describe): She is about six foot four with short, wavy-curly dirty blonde hair. She has pale skin, and her face is covered in freckles. Her eyes are a blue-gray color, and when she uses her magic they tend to flash to a burnt orange color.
Across her neck is a nasty scar from an incident she can hardly remember that occurred when she was two. She also has a necklace around her neck with a silver and gold double ouroboros on it.
http://www.neverendingstory.com/images/auryn2.jpg
She wears a black tank top and a pair of black pants.
Personality: She is very quiet, for multiple reasons, observant and cautious. She is very sassy and sarcastic when spoken to at first, and this retains when she befriends you. She can seem rude as well, but that's just her way of being friendly.
Abilities: She is capable of a few forms of telekenitic abilities, telekinesis and pyrokenisis are most prominent, and she is able to perform various spells. She can also telepathically speak to people.
Extra/other: She is mute, and while she can telepathically communicate she prefers to speak using sign-language as well.

Arui found herself on an island. The first thing she heard was the tropical birds chirping, and the temperature feels normal. It wasn't too hot or too cold. She stood up, and walked towards the jungle in front of her, leaving footprints in the sand. She grabbed her dagger from her right side, just in case something would pop out and attack her, even though it's unlikely.

Iukian sat up quickly, ears twitching despite being in her human-shape. She sniffed at the air as she listened for sounds to tell her where she was. Her glassy purple eyes were fixed on nothing. She reached out with her senses, searching for some source of heat to tell her something, anything about her surroundings; she was rewarded with the locations of several trees. She stood carefully, hand on the hilt of her dagger, and headed towards the deciduous forest in front of her, unintentionally heading the opposite direction from the island's other newcomers.

Alyss awoke as she felt burning hot sand press directly into the side of her face. She tossed herself up into a sitting position, rubbing sand off the left half of her face as she took in where she was.

A beach on an island by the looks of it. She was drawn to the figure of two others, and stood up before she followed after them, trailing in the footprints of someone else, avoiding a tiger's paw prints.


{My Other Form}
Name: Cole
Gender: Male
Approximate age: 15
Species: Arachne
Appearance (can have a picture but please also describe): About five foot nine with messy brown hair. He has lightly tanned skin and rather large incisors, almost like fangs.
His eyes are a solid colored pale red with four pupils per eye, one main pupil with three other smaller ones around the sides. He wears baggy clothes.
Personality: Kind, friendly and caring. He is always wanting to help others.
Abilities: He has venom filled fangs instead of incisors. He has increased vision due to his eyes and he is able to grow two extra sets spider legs out of the middle of his back.
Extra/other: Nothing.

Arui kept on going in the same direction. She didn't find anything unusual, but nothing changed. She often stepped on sticks, which would have a chance to attract somebody who's listening. She looked up when she saw the jungle gradually transform itself into a deciduous forest. It didn't feel normal. Once the last of the jungle disappeared, Arui found herself in a deciduous forest. She trekked on.

As she walked to the new forest, she went and kicked the rocks in front towards the side, and often crack twigs. Other than that, she could hear birds singing, as she runned this time, and more twigs were broken, trying to find a clearing or something.

featherstar_stormclan • 24 November 2015 at 12:04 AM

@nightmaremoon12 @queens

Alyss stopped as she spotted the girl up ahead running, before the witch herself joined in. Her long legs eating the ground before her as she slowly caught up to the one before her.

Fearful, but excited at another human, she carefully dove through the trees by the other girl, glancing behind her as she jogged up ahead.

hashtagnight • 24 November 2015 at 3:01 AM

@featherstar_stormclan

Arui heard a slight noise. She dashed faster.
"I don't have time for you...!" She muttered angrily. "Go find someone else...! Not after... what happened to all of them..." She sprinted as fast as she could upon saying this, trying to run away from whatever might be anger. Using her energy, she left a trail of electricity. Some crows cawed, but that barely didn't matter. The cape was feeling the quick air and waved like a flag.

This kinda died; I'd been waiting for someone else to post since Iukian went the other direction from everyone else, but I'm gonna try to get it going again anyway.

Iukian's ears twitched towards the noisy people behind her, but she didn't want to deal with them at the moment. Instead she continued forward, unintentionally heading in the direction of the colder air of the mountain; the cold used to be her homeland. So, though she didn't notice, the cold tempted her. She stopped to shed her heavy winter coat as she felt beads of sweat trailing down her back from the heat of the place, though she moved towards cooler air, stuffing it into the leather sack she carried before continuing. She tripped over vines once or twice; her heat sense was going haywire, and it was harder to sense smaller things in the haze.

@whitefire @nightmaremoon12 @queens
{It's alright.}

Alyss groaned internally before she threw her words into the other's head. "OK, first off you need to chill. You act like anyone trying to help you is gonna kill you. I'm just glad to know there are other people around." she said, dodging the woman's attack.
