Objective #1: Each participant is to return with no more than two items...whatever that character determines Nisha would like the best! Good luck!

At first glance, Nisha is a pale, well rounded girl of about 17. Her attire is subject to change, oddly enough, but she favors loose clothes in muted golds, greys, and purples. Her ashen hair is usually pulled back into a messy bun, which is adorned by two 'hair sticks' of slow burning incense. Nisha wears low beaded slippers, and golden ribbons around both ankles and her right wrist. Her only other accessory is a tan sling bag at one hip, with a thick braided strap that cuts across her chest.

A large golden watch with a cracked face dangles from the chain that rides low around her hips. The dark hands are frozen, and currently read 4:07.

Desperate, Nisha's Daemon and reluctant companion, is a sizeable pachyderm well into his teens. He stands over a foot taller than Nisha, and stays to the edges and corners of rooms to minimize his bulk. He wears a beaded golden net over the swell of his back, which matches the ornate skull cap that ends in a jeweled point upon his forehead. Delicate henna designs band the elephant Daemon's massive ankles.

Eight: Seraphine and Seduire
Eight
Gaia username: Eight
Excerpt: Elle avait la grace d'un cygne, et la passion d'un professionnel, se deplacant comme l'eau par elle fait equipe des bras; la facon ses hanches oscillees et ses pieds deplaces, elle transmet et arme le demenagement avec la musique enchantait et seduire. La musique etait etrangere, probablement latin de quelque genre, mais cela n'a pas eu d'importance. C'etait comme si je regardais une sirene dansant au lieu de chanter; je l'ai voulue, j'ai voulu la tenir, la toucher, sentir sa peau douce contre le mien. Et alors elle m'a regarde...

Forgotten's name: Seraphine
Daemon's name: Seduire

Darcy: Dimitri and Remember
[-Darcy-]
Gaia username: [-Darcy-]
Excerpt: "I'm running. I don't think I'll stop for awhile yet. I don't think I can stop. They're chasing me, shouting something about witches. What'd I do wrong? I can't remember. Maybe it was the day I set the mayor's house on fire with just a flick of my mind. I didn't mean to.

I'm lost now but I can still hear them yelling after me. Why did I have to live in a farmer village, with all their working tools? But they won't catch me now. Even though my lungs are burning and my legs feel like they might collapse, I can keep running to the end of the world.

I can hear them falling behind, and almost stop, but I can't. I can't even see the ground underneath my feet, let alone stop. Where is the ground? There's just darkness beneath me. Am I dead? I glance behind me and see feathers. Massive black wings coming out of my back. Does that mean I really am a witch? But then the thought leaves my mind, along with my memories, flowing out of me like a drain, leaving me empty.

But my legs are tired and I could swear I've gone beyond the end of the world. I almost gratefully unfold my wings, lifting them up and beating them, attempting my first clumsy flight. There is no wind here but I'm flying. Away from my memories, I'm flying."

Saede: Thanes and Rotary
Saede
Gaia username: Saede
Excerpt: I might be lengthening it since that whole part of the book is hilarious, but for now:

"It wasn't that he was bloodthirsty, power-hungry or especially wicked. These things were not necessarily drawbacks in a wizard. The wizards were, on the whole, no more wicked than, say, the committee of the average Rotary Club, and each had risen to preeminence in his chosen profession not so much by skill at magic but by never neglecting to capitalize on the weaknesses of opponents.

It wasn't that he was paticularly wise. Every wizard considered himself a fairly hot property, wisewise; it went with the job.
"

- Terry Pratchett, The Light Fantastic

Forgotten's name: Thanes
Daemon's name: Rotary
Age: 15

About the Forgotten: Brown hair with irregular streaks of gray, rose pink colored eyes, Caucasian, very thin almost to the point of looking unattractive (almost being the key word), and he is kind of lacking a right arm. His clothing is usually something comfortable, and possibly Victorian. For this adventure probably a dress shirt, and non-descript black pants. Riding boots. The basics of Thanes' personality is that he is a rather calculated, egotistical young man. He rarely sees others as equals. He is very intelligent, though, which is usually a plus. Thanes is a wizard in training, so his powers are pretty here and there. It depends on if he can get them to listen to him.

About the Daemon: Rotary is a Mimic, meaning she basically looks like a treasure chest. Red, with gold lining and designs. She does have two black, scaled legs that she can hobble around on. She also has two bat like black wings, though they're usually just folded to get them out of the way of her feet. If her lid does open, you can see the real Rotary inside, which is basically a shadowy creature with blood red eyes. All else is pretty much just known to her and Thanes. Rotary is mostly just a tempermental, if caring daemon. She is not the type to argue with her Forgotten, but she would with anyone else on his behalf. She's a lot more compassionate than Thanes, and that's often what keeps him in check. Powers? A little flight, and she can hold inside her trunk almost anything Thanes needs.

User Image Rules don't have to be in list form, do they?

As far as RP, I don't want first person, and I don't want present tense, please! That means no: "I sniff the muffin reluctantly." I'd prefer: "Nisha sniffed the muffin reluctantly." Also, proof read/check your posts. Spelling and grammar matter...so if you have typos, please try to edit them before I see them! whee (FYI, my typos should be utterly ignored. ninja )

Let's keep the power level moderate, please. This isn't the time to show off, though use of your characters powers may certainly be called for. I don't really care how strong a character is...what I'm looking for is creativity and a well developed concept!

Flexibility is also very important to me. Getting a group of characters to interact can be difficult...so please don't struggle too hard against any steering you might encounter.

If you have a major problem, you can PM me. Otherwise, I'd prefer if you just catch me on AIM! Also, if you're having a compatibility issue with anyone in the group, myself included, my initial answer will always be TALK TO THEM ABOUT IT. No need to involve me unless a mediator is needed. Work it out! On the same note, please only PM others in the group if absolutely needed unless they invite you to do otherwise.

We will settle into a posting order as we progress, just pay attention and go with the flow. Again, forgive pauses in my responses, and feel free to interact when I'm not online. Just remember that the house, and the location of all items, is my domain. Please don't 'find' things that aren't offered!

More as I think of it. biggrin

Oh, and Raife gets sex credit for the nifty top banner.
Star gets kissies for the awesome Nisha art!
