Of Mages and Kings : A Twokinds RP (Interest Thread) (Final Selection is Up!)

I'm interested, but I have no time to read fully/write a sheet. I'll get back to you when I have spare time.
Also, if this is based off/inspired by a web-comic, where can i find somewhere to read it?

Here's the Twokinds comic.ThreeWords said:
<link=http://twokinds.keenspot.com/archive.php?p=1>Here's the first page.
It helped me to get a big list for each category and roll dice. I didn't use any of what I got but it got me started, and maybe once you do get started it'll be easier. Just a suggestion.Lambi said:
Thanks for the suggestion. I've only got Profession, Weapons and Backstory to write right now, and that's proving to be a little challenging. Since I want my character to use a sword (I have a thing for them) and I was given a few choices for a profession that would use one, or that would know how to use one.Blasphemous Rex said:
Perhaps what helped me more than the dice was the lists. Making a list of every profession that came to mind (yes, even the stupid ones) got me thinking about a lot of different kind of jobs. I already knew I wanted to play something that was atypical to what I've normally seen in RPs, so I aimed my list towards those kinds of things. Maybe it'll help.Lambi said:
You can always choose outside the professions we sent you, they were merely suggestions. There are of course a lot more professions who would/could know how to use a sword, even a common farmer if he spent a little time in the local militia. So you shouldn't feel limited by that list.Lambi said:
Name: Arryn
Race: Keidran
Subspecies: Tiger
Gender: Female
Age: 10
Profession: Hunter
Physical description: She stands at 5'9", her tail reaches all the way down to the ground when it's straight. She weighs about 132 pounds, which is quite enough for her. Her fur is just like you'd think would be on a tiger, orange fur for the most part with black stripes all over and white fur on her front torso and front side of her neck, around her mouth, around the groin and on her palms and under her feet. She's got black hair that reaches down to the middle of her back. Her eyes are green. She's got size C breasts and she has a kind of an hourglass build. She doesn't normally wear clothes, but when she has to, she has a pair of dark green trousers and a green sweater to cover herself with. She doesn't care much for footwear.
Weapons: Sword and a bow with some arrows
Other notable equipment: A pendant from her mother she keeps inside her fur, though obviously it dangles down from her neck if she leans forward.
Backstory: Arryn was born into one hunter family out of few that hunted together, who hunted wild animals. They lived inside the forest near Lyn'Knoll, never going there themselves since they had what they needed in the forest. She had, from a young age, been alright at hunting, her father teaching her everything he knew. She was able to crouch carefully and sneak on the wild animals, hunting them successfully most of the time.
Her father was still the one to provide his own family with food, but he never said no to Arryn following him on the hunts. They were very careful and usually never got hurt, and if they did, it was usually never anything serious. Arryn had one time had to carry her father home after a nasty fight with one of the wild animals, which had gotten away, but that hadn't mattered to Arryn, since she needed to get her father home so her mother could take care of him.
Arryn had never been particularly girly about anything about her, even bounding her chest down with bandages, though that was mostly so it wouldn't get in the way while she was hunting. She was among the better hunters in the group of hunter families, but she wanted to do more than just hunting. At the age of 10, she decided to go and had the support of the others. They were sad to see her leave, but they didn't stop her from doing what she wanted to do. She traveled by foot for many days, often needing to hide in the trees if she encountered someone she didn't know, before arriving in Median.
Additional notes: She's not too picky about a mate, though she still prefers males over females, if only ever so slightly. She doesn't speak any human due to the group she traveled with didn't visit any human villages or encounter any on their travels. She only speaks in Keidran.

Anything that needs editing, removing or something to add, just let me know.
<spoiler=Essil>Name: Essil
Race: Keidran
Subspecies: Feline, some hybridisation in ancestry
Age: 9
Profession: Minstrel
Physical description: 5'9'' tall, 112 lbs. White body fur that seems long compared to many Keidran, white head hair that comes to his shoulders. Pale blue eyes, pink nose and pads. Usually wears green short trousers that end six inches past his knees and he has an instrument case that has been adapted and padded to be worn over both shoulders. He also has a filled tube of cloth that is tied and connected at both ends with a piece of rope, this he either carries like a satchel or in a hand. A 5'9'' staff is either carried or nearby.
Weapons: Staff and natural weapons
Other notable equipment: His main (and favourite) instrument is a lute but there is also a small flute and some shallow hand drums in there. The cloth tube carries general items, food and drink if travelling, a thick cloak for if it rains or gets too cold, some writing implements and ink. A small folding knife, more tool than weapon.
Backstory: As the descendant of a long line of 'ornamental' Keidran slaves, Essil is pretty to look at. He has been taught numerous instruments to entertain his masters and their guests. He has also been lent to other households for entertainment and pedigree breeding purposes.
He escaped with his parents approximately nine months ago and made it into the Border nations where they moved gradually westwards as they were unable to remain in kingdoms that allowed slavery to exist, both from a hatred of it to the fear that they would be enslaved again or returned to the Human nation. As they were originally owned near to the western border of the human lands they could not simply disappear into Felimarlche
They settled in a small village, Leafmantle, close to the Forest of wolves where they have been living for approximately six months. Essil has been learning letters and finding a new love of art to go with his freedom and is staying in Median to get access to better materials.
Additional notes: Speaks Keidran and fluent human.
(OOC: I plan to play him as a more ordinary person who gets swept up into the main storyline rather than an 'adventurer' who is looking for that kind of thing.

Name: Jarin
Race: Keidran
Subspecies: Feline
Age: 15
Profession: Bodyguard, bounty hunter, mercenary, farm hand (Anything that pays and/or feeds him) Calls himself a "Professional Adventurer"
Physical description: 5'10", 190lbs, with a slender build. His fur and hair is jet black, and flecked with grey about the muzzle. It is the same length all over, giving the impression (to Keidrans at least), that he is bald. Dark gray knee length cargo shorts, a leather belt to hold up the shorts and hold a knife sheath, canvas carry bag (usually slung over right shoulder)
Weapon(s): 15" long knife in the small of the back right hand draw, short spear worn on back left hand draw over shoulder.
Other notable equipment: Spyglass, clay pipe, tobacco, tinder box, and various provisions (kept in bag). A small silver pendant worn about the neck, usually kept beneath his fur.
Back story: Jarin was born in a small village in the north of the Republic of Felimarlch. He was always a stubborn and restless youth, getting into fights, roaming the woods around his village and dreaming of going exploring. On his 5th birthday he announced that he was leaving to see the world, and set off for the Republic of Free Lands. A week out from his village he ran afoul of slavers working for the Human Kingdom, fortunately they were an amateur group and he was able to make his escape rather easily.
Over the years he's done just about every job imaginable, from mercenary and pirate to barkeep he has done it all (or so he claims). His slender build and natural athletic ability has led him to be a fast and agile fighter, who prefers to fight with his blades or hands instead of something heavier.
When he was 12, he did find a mate and start to settle down. While he was away on a body guarding job slavers attacked their village, killing his mate when she fought back, along with his unborn child. Since then he's had a deep hatred for slavers, whereas before he just disliked them. He is starting to feel his age now, and has come to the port city of Median to either retire from adventuring or go out once more, he can't decide.
Additional notes: Speaks Keidran and Human fluently, and some Basitin.
