Introduction The year is 1703 and the age for exploring is starting to come to a close in most places except for North America. Or so you thought. The world is still filled with wonderful and dangerous places just waiting for those who are brave enough to take the journey of a lifetime. Different candidates with different backgrounds from all over Europe have been sent a letter, claiming they are chosen for a journey to explore the whole world. Each letter has been adjusted to make it sound more appealing to each of the candidates. Will you take this opportunity?
What This is Pretty Much About As said above, various candidates have been chosen to go on a journey for the royal family of England and conquer new territory in its name. Each candidate has some kind of skill or power that made them appeal to the royal family no matter their background. These chosen people will go on a trip to every country they come across to begin claiming land for England and perhaps start settlements if possible.

Characters
blubberywhales : Jaquline : 16 : Female : Can shape shift into a hawk : Jaquline has short blonde hair cut at her jaw and has striking silver eyes. Her face is brushed with freckles and she usually wears a silver tunic with silver pants. She also has black boots and a light blue cloak but she hardly ever puts on the hood. Jaquline is a bit boy crazy and has worked to not let that get in the way of what she sets out to do in life. However, boys somtimes still get her distracted. She has a kind personality and is pretty clumsy and wonders how she ever manages to fly straight in her hawk form. : She came from your average middle class family but when they found out about her power they moved into a cottage in a secluded woods to be sure no one thinks of their family as a group of scorcerers. (If you have rped with me in any mediveial rp you probably recongize her!)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
blubberywhales : George : 24 : Male : Echolocation : George is a tall Irish man who is bald but has a short, close shaved ginger beard. He is toned and has light brown eyes. He is sarcastic but can be nice when he wants to be. He doesn't care who he's talking to when he's sarcastic, he just is. However, if you dig below the sarcasm he's actually really nice : George used to live an Ireland but he decided to move to England and become a citezen. He is a hard worker and is still trying to care for his family.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
❧𝓖𝓸𝓵𝓭𝒆𝓷𝓝𝓾𝓰𝓰𝒆𝓽☙ : Adelaide (Addie) : 18 : Female : Healing : Addie stands at about 5'9" with long, black hair that falls pin-straight down her back, stopping short of her seventh thoracic vertebrae. She normally wears her hair naturally down. Her eyes are the color of rich dark chocolate, accented by long lashes. Adelaide hates dressing out and prefers to wear a tunic, pants, and boots over anything else, feeling that such attire gives her the greatest range of motion. To quickly describe Adelaide, one would use the word "ambivert" - an individual who enjoys the company of others, but also needs solitude to recharge. She is very personable and sensitive, almost to a fault - she invests emotionally into people and whatever affects that individual in turn affects her, usually leaving her lethargic and tired. She also suffers from GAD. : Adelaide is Frenchwoman whose family took in Marcus, her cousin, and moved to settle in an English suburb. When her powers were discovered, the family used that as a way to provide for the hungry mouths. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
❧𝓖𝓸𝓵𝓭𝒆𝓷𝓝𝓾𝓰𝓰𝒆𝓽☙ : Marcel (Marc) : 17 : Male : Panmnesia (remembers absolutely everything one thinks, feels, encounters, and experiences) : Marc has short, light brown hair and is skinny, though he shows signs of muscles on his body from working with the family. He has green eyes and stands fairly tall at 5'11". He is a crafty fellow and likes to make things from whatever he can get his hands on. Marcel can be rather protective of those hat he cares about and though he tries not to, he takes a lot of things seriously, including himself. He does his best to try to lighten up, but being as he can remember everything about his past, it is hard for him to be light and playful. : Marcel is the younger cousin of Adelaide, but their close age has Marcel acting like Addie's older brother. His biological parents died of illness when he was young and Adelaide's family took him in. His power is not obvious or well-known, the family tends to think of him as being extremely gifted and smart. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
strider : Kier Ventris : 15 : Male : Controls fire : Kier is small for his age, but he makes up for it in wit, cunning, and quick escapes. He has dark skin and dark hair long enough that it reaches into his eyes, as well as dark brown eyes. Once his trust is earned he is a loyal friend, but he is suspiscious and unlikely to connect easily with other people. Despite this fact he cares deeply about everyone around him whom he likes and trusts, and even those he doesn't know particularly well. He is, however, often fairly unaware about other people's feelings, and does his best to isolate himself so he will not have to divulge too much about himself. Once Kier sees fit to befriend you he is quite the character. He loves to theorize and prank people, and his smile is quick to come around friends. Kier is fairly clueless about social cues and niceties, but he's learning. Like his power suggests, he is fiesty and firey, always attempting to keep enemies on their toes. Overall he is a good friend but fairly clueless and distant. : Kier was born into a poor english family with an older brother who died when he was very young. His powers were kept secret for almost his entire life, but he developed the ability to use his powers to hunt and provide for his family
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
xXDragon SoulXx : Richard : 18 : male : teleportation : Rich, Ironically, isn't rich by a long shot, though he still does have enough money, at least for some nice clothes. He wears a dark blue button-up shirt, a long brown trench coat, a glack glove on his right arm, dark blue jeans and running shoes. He also wears a watch on his right arm, and a pendant under his shirt or a dragon eating it's own tail, symbolizing oroboros, which in this case is his everlasting freedom. He is an avrage height for his age, green eyes, redish hair, the norm. He also carries two daggers with him. Simple oak handles and thin blades. Though the reason there's a glove on his hand in because of a large scar of a circle on his palm with lines leading to more sircles on the end of his fingers. In nature, he's a caring and fun person, who loves to talk to people, but sometimes he likes to just sit in quiet and just think, looking at the view. Oh, and he loves music! : Richard is an Australian man who mmoved here cause he loved the way it's green, which was very much unlike Darwin, and it would be colder too

[[ Yeah, sure! ]]
It had been a few days since Adelaide received a heavy, official-looking letter. It was unmarked and still unopened, sitting on her chest of belongings. The girl could only imagine poor news from such a heavy letter that she avoided even looking at the parcel. Instead, she took to wandering around the outskirts of the suburban English town, slowly making her way further and further away; deeper and deeper into the forest. Running her fingers through smooth black hair, Addie found that her mind was clearing, wandering aimlessly between the trees.

Jaquline was the first one up of her family, as usual. She was already dressed to go hunting and bring things to the market to sell and receive any news from the royals or the press. Jaquline grabbed her bow in one hand and carried the quiver on her back, concealed by her cloak. She stepped down the stairs, making sure to avoid the third one. As this stair creaks. She opened the door with care and closed it in just the same way. "Time to fly." She said quietly to no one in particular. Jaquline transformed into her hawk and flew up above the trees, looking for boars or deer, or anything that would sell really. Her advanced vision helped her scan larger areas with little effort, but when she turned back they often were the cause of headaches afterwards. Jaquline spotted a small boar by a tree stump, proabably looking for grubs and such nearby. She swooped down, but a safe distance away, as to not alert it.

It was quiet in the mornings, a peaceful lull settled over Adelaide as she made her way deeper into the forest, listening only to the sounds of nature. Addie, accustomed to the soothing blend of noise, looked up when she heard the snorting of a single animal. Pausing, not wanting to startle the creature, she watched from afar. Growing up in the city for most of her life, Adelaide took a particular interest in animals, something that she never got to experience as a child save for the family dog.

Jaquline took an arrow out of the quiver and readied her bow with all the stealth she could muster. *And...release.* she said in her mind. She released the arrow and it went through the boar's side. It squealed. Not dead yet, but floppes on its side, frantic and dying. Jaquline drew her sword and went over to the boar but before she could deliver a finishing blow it fell still. Jaquline sheathed her sword and bent down next to the boar, taking out the arrow.

Adelaide watched in horror as an arrow soared through the air and pierced the boar, flipping it to its side. She ran forward, but was met by a girl, her sword out. Addie watched in confusion but it was too late, the boar had fallen silent. Adelaide, a healer by trade, looked up at this girl, distraught written in her eyes and on her visage. "W-what was that for"? she asked, visibly shaken and confused.

"Calm down! I have a job okay? And its selling what I catch." She picked up tye boar and slung it over her shoulder. It was heavy, but it wasn't fully grown so it was lighter than most. "What are you doing here?" Asked Jaquline. This stranger didn't seem like the type that lives out in the woods

"I got up this morning, thinking that I would clear my head," the girl responded, her voice quiet. She kept her eyes averted from the boar slung over the other girl's shoulders. What she said at first, only made Addie realize how difficult it was to make a living sometimes and how fortunate she was to have the power that she did. However, as her family had told her numerous times, no one was allowed to know that. "I do apologize, though," she said, her dark brown gaze on the other individual. "Are you out here for the hunt?" she asked curiously.

Post by Deleted on Aug 9, 2016 12:38:32 GMT -5
"Well duh. I don't hunt for sport." She said in a sarcastic voice. But realized how rude she must sound, "I apologize for coming off rude. Are you heading to town by chance?" Hopefully she was, Jaquline doesn't like being alone too often. And hardly anyone came into these parts. They would rather go waste their money on something like jewlery or an expensive house.

Post by ❧Ɠσℓ∂єηƝυggєт☙ on Aug 9, 2016 12:58:31 GMT -5
Adelaide shook her head, accepting the apology. "Oh, no worries," she replied, looking at the other girl. Then she nodded, "Oh, yes. I'll be heading back into town,Addie answered. By this time, her family was probably up and wondering where she had gone. Adelaide began walking for a while, thinking to herself before realizing that she hadn't introduced herself to her companion. "I nearly forgot," she exclaimed. "I'm Adelaide, but many simply call me Addie. And who do I have the pleasure of walking back into town with?"

Jaquline paused before answering, this new person didn't seem too of kilter. She should introduce herself, "I'm Jaquline. I would shake your hand but my arms are kind of full at the moment." She smiled as she motioned towards the pig, "Do you live close to the city?" Jaquline can't remember when she last talked to someone like a friend rather than a customer.
