Welcome to Gaia! ::

The thread you posted was great, btw!

Here is a list of all the people who have played with us this semester and their "status". The status is based on recent posting and what people have told me in PM... the PMs that I remember, any way. sweatdrop Please tell me if I should change any thing- just drop me a line. I am sending you all a Merry Christmas / thank you!

Gah! I just realized that I was listed under Inactive/Unknown! eek I'm sorry! I'll try to post more! sweatdrop

I think I've just been really busy with work and getting ready for Christmas and whatnot, so I'll probably be around more once things settle down in my personal life.

I had thought that I would be able to post during one of my two trips out of state, but alas! gonk I am back now and formulating my evil plans for this semester-- and my next posts. twisted

dark_puppydog,
Have you seen what the profiles that have been accepted look like? If you are willing to put in the effort to make a profile that detailed, for a character that will fit into the RP, then I will help you make a character profile good enough for me to accept into the RP.
But if that profile is all you are willing to give me, then I have to say no. It doesn't look like you read any thing on the first page. The first page tells you what the RP is about and that will help you make a character that will fit into the RP.

FYI in most RPs like this one, RPs that make you read a lot before you can join, and RPs that look for the kind of profiles that our players have, you are usually not supposed to use so many pictures. Descriptions of your character need to be mostly in words. I hope that helps you understand what we are looking for. Also look at the other profiles near the bottom of the first page. Thanks!

Of course I don't mind!
You may also use your older character if we can figure a way to get him in, though a new one might be easier 3nodding

Welcome, Tesunie! I can tell that you read over the information on the first page. I like the first profile better although I have some suggestions for it (like I've had for many of the other profiles that people have submitted). One note about the other profile, if you DO want to play another character that is from another land, that's fine, the things I didn't like about that one were 1) he rode in on a dragon, but the only dragon-like creatures big enough to fly on are actually in the dragon world except for the ones that Cedric recently brought across to TOK and 2) You'd need to figure out some things about his history and homeland

Ok, so about your first profile. smile

1) His mother wanting to keep him is fine. I can totally see that happening, since mothers tend to bond with their children at/right after birth. We can say that most mothers never even see their baby boys, who are bottle fed by the staff of the compound, but that sometimes the mothers do happen to see their kid before it is taken away, and that this is what happened with her. Sound good?
2) His family history after that is a little bit wonky. It's not any one thing but rather a chain of unusual things that together seem less likely to happen. Can I suggest that instead his mother stayed in Feretris and joined a radical group there? It seems more likely to me that she would want to stay there and help change the place she grew up in rather than go somewhere completely new. After all, women aren't that oppressed in Feretris, except the ones who are told that they cannot have children at all. She would be able to stay in Feretris and keep her boy child if she was on good terms with her family, who could have the facilities to raise and train him. If these changes seem reasonable to you, then we can start Tesunie off in a compound just to the south of Feretris, were the raid is just ending and some of the radicals are helping slaves escape in the confusion-- or escaping themselves.
3) Being in love and keeping the father around is acceptable because she would be able to hide that from her family pretty easily. I mean honestly she could just say that he is good in bed and obviously fertile, and children between them are already gov. approved. Just keep in mind that she may not fully understand what love is and that she would probably still be prejudice against men even if she didn't realize it, all because of her upbringing.
4) Appearance/magic -- He needs to have natural hair although he can chose to dye it but dyes tend to be expensive. Blonde hair/fair skin/blue eyes tend to come from TOK but you wanted his magic to be from the plains. Make sure that he has dark skin and maybe brown eyes if you'd like, but at least the dark skin. Looks like his father/his magic is from the Kiyap Turea tribe (see link).

I know that my suggestions for his history change a lot, but I'm trying to think of how to get him into the RP right away too. He can still end up with one of the Nomadic tribes, but it would be after you start RPing if you accept these changes. The front page isn't up to date right now about what has gone on just recently, but you would be hooking up with another character who is just escaping or the raiding party as they retreat.

Whew. I hope that was helpful, even if you don't like my suggestions maybe you can think of another alternative that might get you into one of those three threads that I just linked.

Welcome Tesunie!!!! biggrin

Penden, first of all I'm sorry for being gone for so long, life just kind of caught up to me for a bit. I've beaten it back with a stick though, so I should be on a bit more often. xp

Secondly, I was wondering if we were going to finish the "strange wind" rps or if we are going straight into the "Anjts Support" thread. It makes no difference to me, but it would be cool to have some closure on that particular story line.

Oh, if you still want to do something in the strange wind thread you can! You can even play in both at the same time (let's do the time warp again!) because whatever your character does in there will happen before he gets to the Anjts. We can even explore more of what the NPC revolutionaries will be doing if you want to take on some NPCs (every one can do this).

Comments on Tesunie's profile next, Im making the character list you asked for Tesunie
