(LARP has always seemed so much fun but I'm too shy and I have too much anxiety to actually do anything tbh. Hope you have fun!)
Here is Glade's Description:
| Glade | 20 | Male| A tall dark-skinned young man with surprisingly bright green eyes and close shaved black hair. Not very strong despite his looks but he had a deep and soothing voice. He has a few scars on his chest and the back of his head from when he was younger. He wears the clothes of a village blacksmith and carries a well-made sword around with him. | Glade is naive and headstrong but has a huge kindness streak about him. He never seems to be able to refuse someone in need which can be a good and a bad thing. He is very set on his goal to become a member of the Royal Guard, thinking it will give him the chance to help as many people as he can. | The son of a farmer in Valbruck, Glade was very young when something attacked his family's farm. He was too young to do anything as what looked like monsters killed the rest of his family and badly injured him. When he awoke a few days later in the town's healer's hut he learned all he could about these creatures and swore vengeance on any monster that would harm a human. He apprenticed under the town's blacksmith in order to learn all he could from him about crafting weapons and armor, a skill he figured would help him in battle. He has come to Aarstraten after hearing rumors of one of these monsters around. He wants to prove to the Royal Guard that he is worthy of joining them (after they humiliated him upon his initial request to join them) and to rid the world of a monster along the way.
There, how's that for a little backstory? lol)

(yeah it's fun as heck. Can be a pain in the butt to get stuff ready sometimes though XD anyways, here's my characters now. Though I'll leave some things to discover in the rp.... I should also note that several of these characters won't be roleplayed continuously and they're mostly just listed so I can remember their details lol. I have the whole story planned out, and I can tell you the full backstory if you want, but either way probably the very first part of the rp will be Glade getting directed around by NPCs until he talks to Rose, Maleia, or Cailean, or possibly Eilin. Caolin and Amhra won't be present from the get-go.)
Rose Moiradottir || 42 years old || A small woman standing only about 5'4", with messy brown hair that falls to about her chin, and blue-gray eyes. She has light skin, and both of her ears have many piercings, about 7 on each. Rose generally wears well-made but plain and functional clothing in muted colors: generally a simple gown, or if she's doing something that requires a lot of movement, a tunic and pants. Rose is a reasonably well-known seamstress in Aarstraten and manages to make a decent living that way, though because it was only her working for so long the family had required some assistance from another in town for many years. Rose is the mother of Amhra Aoganson and Maleia Rosedottir. Her husband Aogan disappeared fifteen years ago, rumored to have run off with a woman from a trading caravan that came through town, and has not been seen or heard from since. Because it was only Rose and her two young children, she was forced to sell their farm and move into the city. ||
Amhra Aoganson || 20 years old || A rather small young man standing only about 5'9", with rather delicate features and a slender frame. His skin is light but a bit tanned from the sun, and he has a few very faint freckles scattered across his cheeks, nose, shoulders, and down his arms. His eyes are blue-gray, with an unusual copper ring around the center. His dark brown hair is messy- it's cut short in the back and sticks up at all angles, while his bangs are a bit longer, but he usually pushes them back with a crude metal headband that he made from some scrap iron. He also wears a few rough bracelets also pieced together from scrap metal- mostly iron or copper- and a few from scrap leather. His ears are pierced; three on the left and two on the right. Though his mother- Rose Moiradottir- is a seamstress that is well-known in Aarstraten as being one of the best, his clothes are generally a bit rough and fitted together from scrap, sometimes by him and sometimes more neatly by his mother. Generally he wears a loose sleeveless shirt- often white and stained with soot- and torn-up and stained gray pants, with knee-high black and brown leather boots. When working, he also has a long apron of brown leather, as well as elbow-length leather gloves. Amhra is a blacksmith and, to a lesser extent, a leatherworker. He is still relatively unskilled, but can make most simple things, like hooks, nails, or horseshoes, though he's still working on some of the more skilled things like blades. Amhra's father, Aogan, disappeared when Amhra was five years old, and there are rumors saying he ran off with a woman from a trading caravan that came through town. Aogan had been a farmer and the family had lived outside of town, but without enough help to keep the farm running they had to sell it and move into Aarstraten. It was there he met Eilin Ailisdottir and the two were friends for many years. When Amhra was about 11, the family began to run out of the money they had gotten from selling their farm, and Eilin's family- which is quite affluent- made a proposal. The two families arranged a marriage between Amhra and Eilin once they both turned 20, and until then Eilin's family would help Amhra's to keep living in the city. His mother is Rose Moiradottir and his sister is Maleia Rosedottir. ||
Maleia Rosedottir || 17 years old || A slender young woman standing at about 5'6", with long auburn hair which she usually braids or pulls into a ponytail, and clear green eyes. She has rather tanned skin, though faint freckles are still visible on her face, shoulders, and arms. She is considered pretty enough, but nothing special, though her rather tomboyish nature often puts off the young men in the village. Maleia is not at all interested in becoming a housewife, and instead aspires to be a hunter. When she has the time, she is often out of the city trying to track game in the mountains. The rest of the time, she dutifully helps Rose with sewing or chores. Maleia's mother is Rose Moiradottir and her brother is Amhra Aoganson. ||
Eilin Ailisdottir || 19 years old || A very beautiful young woman of about 5'5", with very long, golden-blonde hair and unusually pale green eyes. She is petite but still curvy enough, and many of the young men in Aarstraten chase after her, though to no avail as she is betrothed and has no interest in them. Eilin is quiet and mild-mannered, though still eloquent when she speaks. She wears simple but fine clothes. She prefers a forest green kirtle over a blue shift, with a white scarf tied around her waist to show off her hips; however, she sometimes wears other colors as well. She usually wears her hair down or draped over her left shoulder, but she may put it up for some occasions. Eilin comes from one of the wealthier families in Aarstraten- her father owns a lucrative trading business. Her mother, however, was a healer who specializes in medicinal herbs and natural medicines. Ailis, Eilin's mother, was always regarded with some suspicion by the townsfolk, as her origins were unknown and many people considered her to be a witch. When Eilin was eight, Ailis was killed by a bear while out gathering herbs to use in her medicines. Eilin met Amhra when they were young, and it didn't take long before she developed a strong crush on him. When his family ran into hard times, Eilin's father met with Rose- Amhra's mother- to discuss an arrangement between the families, and the two were arranged to be married after Eilin turned 20. ||
Cailean Damhainson || 15 years old || A reasonably handsome boy currently standing about 5'7", with somewhat short, neatly-kept light brown hair and the same odd pale green eyes as his sister. Cailean is well-known as being a bit mischievous, often playing pranks or generally getting into trouble. Still, he's never harmed anyone- at least not intentionally- and though he can be quite a nuisance no one really holds a grudge against him. Cailean is learning to be a businessman like his father, though he isn't particularly interested- he would much rather be a knight, or so he says, though his father won't let him near anything more deadly that a kitchen knife. Cailean is also generally considered to be a bit naive and somewhat of a dreamer. Cailean usually wears rather simple clothing, preferring a simple gray or black tunic, pants, and boots to flashier clothing. He generally ditches his shirt and sometimes his shoes as well when it's warm. He is reasonably muscular and has become pretty adept at scaling trees, buildings, and other such structures and moving about above the ground in Aarstraten, a skill that has proved invaluable for his pranks. His sister is Eilin Ailisdottir.
Caolin Lochson || 17 years old || An attractive young man standing about 6', with very long golden-brown hair that he generally keeps in a ponytail, copper skin, and brown eyes which appear amber in the sunlight. He has a rather large frame, with both broad shoulders and rather wide hips. Caolin is the son of a carpenter, and belongs to one of the less wealthy families in Aarstraten. Thus, his clothes are generally very simple and utilitarian, made of cheap undyed fabric in simple patterns. Caolin is generally quite quiet and keeps to himself, and is thus unknown to most of the town- that is, until recently.
(sorry it's so much lol)

(Okay lol I got a little nervous when i initially saw how big you post was and thought "was I supposed to have more characters???" but that's cool! you can write the back story if you want, just in case I have Glade react to a situation differently than you anticipated lol. Did you want to write a starter post? Or did you want me to do it?)

(hm. You should probably start. And I'd probably prefer to leave most of the backstory unknown and let Glade react to it how he will, but if you would really prefer to know ahead of time I'll explain it. Not tonight though, I'm going to bed momentarily. Sorry.)

(Yeah I think it will be fun for Glade to have to piece it together himself. I'm interested to see the wrong theories he makes and paths he takes lol. It would be a short rp indeed if he just easily figured out the backstory, tracked down and killed the werewolf, and that was that. As for the starter, don't worry to much about it, just get better! It seems like you've been sick for a while so I understand you wanna just take it easy and not have to think about things lol.)

(I'm really sorry for taking so long. I got sick, which caused me to lose all motivation for anything creative. i am feeling better now. Thank you for being patient!)
Glade walked down the dusty road in the fading sunlight. He was glad to finally see civilization up ahead after traveling through the mountains for days, his sword was starting to weigh heavy on his hip, but he wasn't going to sit down and rest when he was so close to Aarstraten. He puffed out his chest and pushed on, wiping his brow with the back of his hand and looking around the path and surrounding area. He had only been to Aarstraten a couple of times in his life; once when he was young, he had traveled with his father to sell some sheep, and then once with his master, to trade smithing materials with the Aarstraten blacksmith. This was his first time making the trip on his own, but he made sure to check his map often and not stray from the path. When Glade finally reached the town, he paused just outside the entrance and took a deep breath. He was about to start his journey to become a Royal Guard! He grinned to himself and walked into the town, only to stop once inside and realize he had no plan past getting to Aarstraten...... he looked around, hoping some guidance would pop out from nowhere to help him.
