Welcome to Gaia! ::

Username: Delim
Character Name: Rinni Vahn
Character age: 25
Race: Human
Physical Description: She stands at about 5'5", with a fairly stocky and heavy set build, and fine-toned muscles. She has chocolate brown hair that falls straight to her shoulders. Big hazel eyes that seem to change color with her mood, or perhaps it's only the lighting, peer out from behind freckled cheeks and nose. She has a medium-dark complexion, sporting a fairly nice tan year around. She has numerous scars across her body; the most prominent one starts on her left cheekbone near the ear and travels down her cheek to her jawbone. Her normal attire is a simple outfit of cloth tunic and pants. She carries a sword, sheathed, almost at all times. If it's not on her person then it's close. She has an old set of armor she keeps around, but hasn't used it in years.
Personality: She's brave and smart; even though she might not always show it. She still manages to be clumsy and accident prone. She usually will speak before she thinks, and this has led her to trouble more than once. She's a curious sort, always willing to ask questions--especially if they're questions no one else will. She's pretty tactless. She's rather cocky, stubborn, and sarcastic. She doesn't mean to pick fights, but she won't back down from a challenge. She's developed as quiet the independent person, usually not caring what other people think.
History:
She was born in the village of Ki'kulan, on a continent far to the east. She was born in a peaceful and prosperous era, but a band of powerful thieves soon sought to take the kingdom's prosperity--and land. When she was six, her village was attacked without warning and burned to the ground. Nothing was left but smoldering remains.

During the attack, she was knocked unconscious. She awoke in a pile of wet hay that never had caught fire, but the carnage around her was almost unbearable. She couldn't understand why she had survived. She searched for signs of life, namely of her parents and twin sister, but never found a trace.

She had never left the village until this point, but found she had no choice. So she picked a direction and walked, with nothing more than the clothes she was wearing and a locket her father had given her (her sister had a matching one). After a few days of travel, she came upon a small inn. She explained to the owner what had happened. The innkeeper took her into his family, so she would at least have a roof over her head for a little while. She lived with the innkeeper and his wife and two sons for ten years. As she grew older, the two boys taught her the art of swordplay and archery, and even through her clumsy persona, she seemed to have a natural affinity in the use of the sword.

In those ten years, the war came and went, with never any sign of her parents or her sister. At the age of 16, she thanked the family for their hospitality and left for Blackberry Castle.

At Blackberry she met a myriad of interesting people: a vampire slayer, a loyal knight, a loony jester, and a lunatic. And normal people, as well. She met a man named Omni, who courted her to some degree. She grew to trust him and eventually fell in love with him--her first love even. However, he wasn't everything she thought he was; he was so much more. He revealed himself to be the sole reason why she was even alive, and he was the one who led the attack on her village and terrorized her kingdom for years. Her love quickly fell to disdain and hate, and she vowed revenge. She quickly lashed out at him, but in her fit of anger she was sloppy and she fell to his power. He offered her the choice of joining with him and living forever, or dying right now. She told him to put it where it belongs, so to speak. And so, he killed her.

Yet she didn't die. She was found barely alive by a wayward traveler by the name of Stewart. He carried her back to the castle, where he nursed her back to health. After she was well, and being talked out of numerous attempts to go after Omni, she settled down and began training her skill in swords. Eventually, she became strong enough to take him down. And she did. For her valiant effort, she was granted the title of Dame and became a member of the Knight's Guild.

However this started an even greater battle: the battle within herself. She doubted herself, others, people she'd held close before. During the worst of this episode, her sister showed up in town. Being reunited with her twin helped her through the self-doubting.

She lived in Blackberry for three years. At 18, she left. Her sister had fallen in love with someone and did not wish to be parted. So, Rinni left without her and went out to explore the world on her own.

She crossed the ocean, and eventually ended up in Lindell. She came upon the Weary Retreat. The owner was a elderly man by the name of Jonon, with no other family. She worked there for five years, and then Jonon passed away, leaving the inn to her. She's only been in charge for a few months now much hopes to breathe much life into it.

((Oh my, that's long. Well, I tried to keep it short. sweatdrop ))

Username: Zimmian Zisk
Character Name: Zimmian Zisk
Character age: lets jsut leave it at "old, but he doesn't look over 28"
Race: Cerinian. the short version is that he's a humanoid wolf with blue fur.
Physical Description: as said above, human wolf, blue fur. that'll be explained later. as for now, he ALWAYS wears a large blue cloak that covers his entire body. it also casts a shadow over his muzzle and face. he doesn't mind the distrust of his outfit, because he's a theif anyway. he also wears gloves and high boots. he carries a broadsword with him at all times, and its a good idea to assume its enchanted.
Personality: he's a loner, very dark and distrustfull. not very nice, and willing to kill to save rehimself even the slightest trouble, but not likley to as that would lead to even mo trouble.
History: oh, thats a long one. so instead I'll jsut cover hwo he got here, I already have a topic up that covers the major part of his history. he got to here and now by a major spell backfiring. all he had when he arrived was the clotsh he was wearing and his small library of spells. the town he apeared in thought him a demon, and he had to kill all who saw him until he could get his hands on a cloack and dye it blue. that was two years ago. now he's still looking for a mage who can help him get back to his own time, because he's really starting to miss his post-modern technology. that, and he'd rather not have to wait that long, even though he could if he had too. for the record, he's technically immortal, and doesn't age. but he can be exaughsted, and this is pretty early on in his lifespan, so he isn't nearly as powerfull as he usually is.

Y'know, every time I post this character he seems mroe and more overpowered, even when I make him weaker by the RP.

kay. glad to be a part of this.

Username: Ronyo Storm
Character Name: Ronyo Storm (well thought out right)
Character age: looks 25
Race: half elf (that’s why he looks 25 closer to 45)
Physical Description: Ronyo stands about 5’8” and well trimmed. His clothing involves green pants and a green long sleeve shirt. A brown leather tunic falls over that with bone mail going down his front, on his small shoulder pads, and along the leg guard half of his tunic. Brown leather gloves and boots also have this bone mail armor on them. A simple belt around his waste to keep his tunic tight around him and to hold a few pouches of money and personal effects. A belt strap goes from his right should down to the left hip part of his waste belt. Attached to that belt are his two scimitars with fang like handles, both blades can be seen over his right shoulder. His most interesting clothing option is a crimson scarf that flaps behind him. Ronyo himself looks like what you would think with a half elf. Ears with a bit of a point to them, long white hair tied into a pony tail and a few strands coming down aside his face. With green and gold eyes that seem to capture the very idea of nature.
Personality: Ronyo is a joyful man who loves more than he hates. However it does take a bit of time to unlock his more pleasant side, but most who know him find that his lock isn’t hard to open. When something bad happens Ronyo changes into a man who has seen death one to many times. Be warned though, he is known to through out a bad joke every now and then.
History: Ronyo is a druid of the Eveninwoods and has traveled to Lednil for a gathering of druids for the council of nature. Not a well known event to be sure. It seems even in nature politics find a way in. Ronyo has never meet eye to eye with the council an has caused them trouble by “interfering” in the lives of others. By that they mean saving them from a horrible death. Ronyo’s power include the ability to commune with animals and plants, some plants because some are just rude. Plus the skill to control the tress manly there roots and use them as extensions of himself. Ronyo also can manipulate the elements of wind and lightning, but lightning only when a storm cloud can offer the power. Ronyo’s two swords are enchanted with the powers of fire and ice. His right blade is Wolf Fang, made from the essence of an evil ice wolf, and his left blade Dragon Fang, made from the essence of a youth red dragon that battled the ice wolf. Ronyo has gained two traveling companions as well on his travels, a fox named Sly, I wonder why, and a black wolf named Kal. Kal is named for the word meaning wolf, Kal’daka, in the dark elf language, and is an old and wise creature of the forest. Kal and Sly choose to stay in the woods when Ronyo journeys into civilization. Ronyo tells people so it won’t scare other people away, but its really to keep them out of trouble.

Ronyo has found his road long and tiring and has decided to find a nice place to relax. Mixing it up with city folk is always interesting to him.

Gem: If you'll let me join, here's my character. I can change aspects of her though.

Username: Gemmetra or Gem
Character name: Abyssa or Abby
Age: 22
Race: Human
Description: Thick, wavy orange hair that goes to her shoulder blades and dull violet eyes that look grey in the sunlight. And over all petite woman. Wears a lavender, form fitting shirt and bandanna thing around her head with a matching scarf around her neck. The scarf and cloth on her head have black hems. Brown pants and black slippers with lavender ribbons. A black belt that has a pair of scabbards, holding knives one with a jagged edge. And an iron necklace with an onyx stone that glows red when she's upset.
Personality: Cheery, and light-hearted. Flirtacious, but dislikes gossip. Is easliy angered by people who think they know everything, or disrespect her to a great enough degree. She seems care-free most of the time, but gets completely serious when given a job. But few people see that side of her, and most assume her to be a silly, naive little girl.
History: Abyssa is a part-time assasin for hire. So she comes to the Weary Retreat periodically to look for work. She has some renown for what she does, but refuses to kill people she feels don't deserve it. She grew up in some small village, and took up her trade because she found it more appealing than that of a barmaid or the like. And when work is scarce, she'll sing instead. She found her necklace in some ruins she was investigating for a job awhile back, and has kept it as a good luck charm ever since. Dispite the fact that a fortune teller once told her it belonged to some vampire/demon/werewolf lord thing (she wasn't really paying attention), and that it would either result in her death or her engagement to it's owner. She's not sure which of those it was either. But she's still alive, and isn't sure she believes in such stories anyways. Abyssa mostly travels from town to town, looking for suitable work, and has friends in many a tavern and inn around the country.

Gem: That's about all, I think.
