Hello There
Hey, so, here's what is happening. This is a jump in rp. But here is what is different about it, this rp will be long term. The reason why I tell you this like I know it, it's because I believe I do. I want this to be a long term jump in rp with people that are committed and semi to very active. Anyway, with all of that aside, I want this to be set in medieval fantasy-ish times.
You: omg there are like already 20 other medieval or jump in rps out there. Why are you making one? Me: and why not? Just work with me here.
A lot of other rps I'm on have the same recurring problems: 1. It dies 2. The person I rp with leaves 3. I get bored So, I want this to be fun and long term. Lots of drama, action, all that fun stuff. I really want this to go far. I'm shooting for 10 pages for now here. If I can reach that I will be one happy camper. Remember, this is a jump in. So do not post character descriptions, I prefer to describe through the rp, as it makes it seem like you are reading a book (If you really want to post the description I won't stop you).
Rules
There aren't too many, just the basics and a couple more.
1. Follow all forum rules 2. You can be as rude and snobby as you want in the rp but in OOC, please keep it respectful 3. Be active 4. Anything over PG-13 send it to PM. I get that gore can be subjective as to what is considered 'PG-13' but just don't over do it. 5. This is not an advanced rp (if you want to type a novel go ahead I won't stop you), but please no one or two liners, I hate them with a burning passion. With that, try to use proper grammar to the best of your ability 6. Keep Gender ratios even-ish 7. Don't join and never come back, remember, I want COMMITED members 8. When talking OOC, make sure you use someway to identify that 9. Keep the fantasy elements similar to that of the movie/book of The Princess Bride, ask me if there is anything that you think goes beyond that. If you have not read or seen The Princess Bride, please ask so I can explain. 10. Have Fun, but keep checking the rules, I may add some.
Characters[/u]
Before you say I went back on my word, may I tell you that this is not character descriptions. I will post them in this format: Character Name : Gender : relationships : : played by - Simple right? Don't copy and paste this, I will do this as I get information about your character through the rp.
Alden Burton : Male : Younger sister - Thea : played by - Dankturtle
Belle Friesenhahn : Female : -- -- : played by - 🐳TheFlyingDutchman🐳
Imryael : Female : -- -- : played by - Sweetclover1
Mystery : Male : -- -- : played by - Shiokaze
Thea Burton : Female : Older brother - Alden : played by - 🐳TheFlyingDutchman🐳
Character-Act-Alikes
This may sound confusing at first, but let me tell you, it is very simple. So every week we will have a different movie, TV show, book, maybe even video game, (I might even do songs every couple weeks) to compare our characters to. For example, say we agreed on The Walking Dead theme this week so now we have to pick a character that is similar to our's from The Walking Dead.
Me: Any Questions? You: *raises hand slowly* Me: No? Good.
This week's theme:
Animals. If your character was an animal, what kind of animal would it be?
Alden Burton = -- --
Belle Friesenhahn = Golden Retriever
Imryael = Cat
Mystery = -- --
Thea Burton = Hawk
Next Character-Act-Alike update:
Sunday, October 23, 2016

It was a beautiful night in the woods. The air seemed still, which was okay, considering the air was cool as well. The moonlight danced on the forest floor and flower petals began to close, waiting for day break the open again. Thea prefered it this way. Alone, out where nothing stirred except her own beating heart and thoughts. She always loved the night. Maybe they were similar in some ways and that was why she enjoyed it. The secrets it held were like the ones she held. Ones you want to look into, but after a few steps in you wish to return to where you came from. Thea was mysterious in that way. Although, she did not appear that way. One would think she was like everyone else, and in a sense she was. However, Thea did not think so. She believed she was destined from greater things than living in the castle town of Termina. Or any town in Termina. She would rather be out here, ruling herself and being queen of the forest, tackling any obstacle in her way. If only it was true. But she needed to return before dawn. Back to the village she despised so much. It hurt just to think about it. The boring way everyone seemed to live life. You grow up, you make or inherit a buisness, you die. What adrenaline rush came from that? What thrill seeking adventure came from that? That way of life was not living, it was just...not dying. Thea sat on a oak tree limb worn smooth by many more people who seemed to come out here for adventure. She rested her head against the trunk of the tree, letting out a sigh. Why was life so unfair? Why could Thea not be out there doing something to help? Or at least not sit around and learn about all the breads she could sell. That was not her life, that was her parents'.

(Okay awesome!)
Imryael had been in these woods for a long time, by human standards, at least. She had been there when Termina was a simple farming village, and even before then, when there where trees and rivers and wildlife there, not ma-made cities. She may be young for an elf, but was old enough to have a disdain for the castle-town. The dark haired elf let out a soft sigh from her perch in the trees, watching the human below her with indifference. She had seen her around before, Imryael had been to Terminas market before, her society of elves often sold their clothing and sometimes weaponry, deciding that it would be beneficial to ensure they where on Terminas good side.

Thea had been trying to find a good view of the lake from the trees. Every night she would come out, trying to find the best spot to overlook the lake. Why? Thea knew if she was ever run out of Termina she would end up here and she wants to know where it would be best to hide. She found the lake promising. It was a good walk from Termina so she didn't have to worry about rebellious guards coming out just because they could. She was about 2 miles past the 'Danger, Woods is not Safe' sign. Thea did not think anyone in Termina was brave enough to go past that sign. They believed whatever the goverment told them was truth. But Thea knew the reality, this woods was just like any other. At least, she believed so, she has not ran into anything unusual or dangerous yet. Then again, she was only about 2 miles in, not in the heart of the woods or closer to it. She looked at the moon through the oak tree's branches. It was still before midnight, but midnight would come in about an hour or two. Thea would have to head home soon, she hated being tired and not getting enough sleep. The walk home was hard to make at night, mainly because by then your body feels heavy from exhaustion. Thea's experience with this walk has gotten better as she gets stronger, something she is proud of. Before she makes the trip though, she needs to wake herself up. Maybe climbing this tree would help, the sensation if climbing up and up with thinner branches each time should wake her up. Thea climbed up from where she was sitting so she could stretch before climbing. Then, it began. She started by walking along the branch she was sitting on and then jumping to one a bit taller than her. Everything seemed taller than her though. For whatever reason, she was the only child that got the gene for her short stature. No that she minded, more piggy back rides from her brothers. She climbed at a steady pace not about to rush it, but then as she pulled herself up onto the next branch, she found herself staring at someone. By looking at her ears since they were a focal point of the girl's face, she was at least half elf. Thea stared wide eye, not sure what to say. What would you say to someone in this sort of situation?

In his room, he stands awake. A young man with hair that is color of a raven blending into the midnight sky. Since there was no proper technology to cut his hair, he had to leave it long. However, he prefered it that way. He was awake at midnight almost every night, usually with a candle floating in front of him so he could see in the darkness. How could it float? Alden, as many knew him by, was born with a strange quality that very few, if not then none, had possesed. He could use telekinesis, but that power was quite limited. 100 pounds was the limit of weight he could carry with his telekinesis. The reason he would wake up at midnight is so he could practice controlling his power. Throughout his youth, he was never socially accepted due to his powers. To every other kid in the village he was an outcast. He only had his sister to play with in his early days. His sister happened to be gone at the very same time he was awake. She always went into the forest around midnight. Their parents never knew she left every night, but Alden knew. He didn't want his sister to face any sort of punishment, so he had kept it as a secret for a very long time. 'Thea, you can't keep doing this,' he thought as though he were speaking to her 'Something is bound to go wrong, and i am quite concerned. Sometimes i worry you won't make it back. Or something worse may happen for all i know...' His eyes downcast onto the ground, causing the candle to drop to the floor because he lost focus. Thankfully, upright. Alden realized he had enough of Thea running off. He then opened the window from afar and climbed out, ran out of the village, and into the forest to find his sister, completley ignoring the the sign at the entrance of the woods that said "Danger, woods are not safe."

Thea was almost frozen to the spot. She had never seen anyone else out in the woods. She only heard things: animals, the wind through the trees, the sound her own boots made on the grass and fallen leaves. This was quite a shock to her, did this woman follow her out here? Did she...live out here? As far as Thea knew, no one lived out here in this forbidden woods. The woods to the North of Termina. She started backing up slowly, unsure of what the girl was going to do. However, that was a very wrong move on Thea's part. She assumed the branch was longer and soon she found herself hitting one or two of the oak tree's limbs before landing on the ground. She landed on her back, staring up at the spot where the elf girl was. She was but a mere silhouette now. Thea let out a few shaky breaths, her ribs and back aching. Well, everything ached. Her vision was spinning and once it came back to normal, she slowly raised a hand to her face. Thea felt underneath her eye, her right eye had the feeling of a new bruise underneath it and on the side of her head as well. It was a nasty fall that she would have a hard time covering up the injuries from her parents. A thought came to mind though, what if Alden decided to go rat her out to their parents? He was always worried about her going in the woods and this might be the last straw. Crap... Thea thought to herself. She can't just run away either, there would be a search party or one of her parent's would go out looking for her. They were not exactly the type of people who would last too long in the woods by themselves. Thea ran her fingers through her light brown hair from where she was laying down but winced as the movements hurt her muscles. Thea had to get back though, the sooner she goes back and figures out how to cover up her visible injuries, the better. She got up slowly still and winced as she put the pressure on her arms. Her legs did not hurt as bad and she was able to stand. Thea began making her way back to Termina, taking out her dagger to cut through the bushes, leaving a trail for her to remember for the next time she comes out. Which may not be for a long time. Thea looked back for long moments of time back to where the elf girl had stood, but in her moments of distraction she felt herself bump into something. But it felt more like a someone. She stared into the dark eyes of her brother Alden.

(MEep sorry I passed out last night!! )
The elf let out a soft laugh, finding the entire situation, quite frankly, hilarious. Her kingdom insisted making these woods off limits, yes, so the citizens never knew about the elfs whatsoever. This girl, whoever she was, was the first to ever venture this far into elfin territory, and the elf wanted to know why she did. She wanted to know this humans name, and why it took her so long to run. They where such fascinating creatures, humans. Leaping off of her perch and landing on the ground softly, the elf girl set off to follow the human, her dark green cloak helping her blend into the dark woods around her. She could hear the murmurs of the trees all around her about the human intruder, and that there was a second one as well, but she ignored the warnings and instead followed her, only stopping when she saw the girl talking to a male, most presumably someone in her family.

As he walked through the forest, tired from running, something hit Alden before he could react. "Ow! Watch where you're going!" He then made out against the darkness the shape and clothes of his sister. "Thea!" He then noticed her injuries. "What happened? I knew something like this would happen! You shouldn't have come out here. You're lucky i won't tell mom and dad about this." Although, if his parents were to ask either of them what happened, he wouldn't know what to do. He hated lying and it always made him feel guilty, but he swore to his sister he would keep it a secret. "We are in so much trouble. What do you think they'll say? More importantly, they're probably gonna lecture us until dawn..."

Thea glared at her brother. She always found it annoying that he knew where she went. He always seemed to want to get into her personal buisness. Almost like her parents. They seemed to ask her what felt like 100 questions if she were to just say hi to a boy, or why she was at the bakery at 8:56 instead of 8:50. Thea always felt in trouble or annoyed whenever she was home. Maybe that was mother reason she went to the woods. Although, she was not aware of it until now. Thea crossed her arms and turned around defiantly to face the lake. "You're not my dad. You can't tell me what to do." Her brown eyes were lit with mischief and annoyance. Thea loved the way her eyes looked though. She carried a gene that skipped every three generations, one that made half of her left eye gold. Thea liked all things peculiar and strange. Of this world or not, Thea was not picky when it came to strange. "But if you are so concerned, I was...scouting?" She made her lie sound like a question. She was never good at lying, not matter how many times she had attempted it. Thea always wanted to be a guard though, and Alden knew that too. Maybe he would buy it, thinking that she was practicing and accidently tripped or something close to that.
(It's okay clover! I kept waking up and passing out like all night lol. You could have your character interrupt them however you would like)

"Firstly, I am just concerned for you. Secondly, i clearly am not your dad; i'm your brother. Thirdly, you are bad at lying. I can tell you weren't scouting. Fourthly, i am sorry i am so "nosy", as you call me. I know you like coming out to the woods, and i totally respect that, but i am also worried about how much longer i can keep this a secret, especially now that you have all these injuries."

Thea rolled her eyes and mimicked quietly to herself what her brother was saying. She did not need a lecture from him. Sure she was hurt, but the bruises would heal and the aches and soreness would leave over time. Right now though, she figured this was the perfect oppritunity to mess with him though. Thea liked getting on her brother's nerves. A lot. She had an evil grin on her face but wiped it off and responded to Alden. "Yeah, you kind of lost me after the second thing. You should just leave me alone 'dad'." Thea told him. She started walking back into the woods, which puzzled Thea even more because at first she only wanted to leave. Maybe it was her mood getting the best of her again, she really needed to work on that. She started forward, tying her hair back into a loose braid as she did so. The night air made her long sleeve comfortable, and her pants less oven like. Thea didn't think Alden would come after her. He was a chicken in her opinion. Always paranoid about something, but that was only Thea's impression of him. Her parents were hard on Alden though, saying he should be an example to Thea since he was the older brother. But she would not feel bad for him during the moment they are both being talked to. She would be busy talking back to her mom or dad and then getting hit for it later. Not that she cared, they would not dare injure her badly.

Thea didn't stop going through the woods again. She didn't feel like being around her brother at the moment. She only stopped when a voice seemed to be calling her. It sounded close, which made her nervous. Thea pulled out one of her daggers. There were symbols similar to Celtic knots on the hilt. She loved to look at them and admire their complexity but now was probably not the most appropriate time to admire them. She turned around immediately after removing the dagger from her belt and turning around to hopefully identify the voice behind her. Thea did manage to find the person or creature or half person, she was not sure what to categorize them as, they were the same elf that she saw in the tree. So now she decides to ask what she was doing here? That was none for her buisness though. Thea did not relax the arm that held the weapon but kept her muscles tense, ready for an attack. "I didn't realize this was private property." Thea said in a casual tone, not wanting to anger the new person, or elf, or...you get the point. She was not sure what kind of abilites she possessed and although Thea was a loose cannon, she was not that loose.
(Yes, that's fine, I'm glad people are making sure to keep a check on their abilities)

Imryael smirked slightly, honestly a little bit pleased that she was making the girl nervous. She was a full-blooded elf, but she looked more of a hybrid than anything. Some strange genetics, she supposed. "Its not private property, but it is restricted territory, or at least thats what I believe that sign says." She responded, her voice having an almost musical, taunting quality to it. She studied the dagger, before commenting, "Please do put that dagger away, dear. You don't want to be sending any wrong messages with having that out."

Thea looked at the elf in slight disbelief. She seemed to hold herself up pretty high, we're all elves like that? Maybe not but still, this one seemed a little cocky. She lowered the dagger but did not put it away, person, elf, whale, whatever, all were unpredictable. "The sign is just a suggestion, we don't have to listen to those. Plus, who would come out here for the sake of one person who was out of harm's way?" Thea countered, her tone still steady. Thea did think that signs were only suggestions. Like 'do not enter' is only something to warn you. It's not a guard, it's a sign, Thea can enter if she wants. If she could, Thea would repaint all the signs to say, 'Keep out, or enter. I'm a sign, not a guard.' That would give her a good laugh. And hopefully some other people too. However, Thea would not be able to do that, she did not want to risk going on trial for 'endangering lives'. She thought the goverment was babying the people. The goverment can put up warnings, but it's someone's own dumb fault if they get hurt. But Thea was not about to vent that one anyone. Guards seemed to be everywhere these days. It was frightening actually.
