How did you hear about us?: Skype chat link someone posted in one of my bazillion chats.
What made you want to join us?: A crippling roleplay addiction I need to feed.
What is Roleplaying?: In my eyes, roleplaying is basically playing as a character in a massive, living, ever evolving story with multiple real time ‘authors’
What is Metagaming?: Metagaming is the use of ooc knowledge in character. Basically things like, you hear in teamspeak billy and Joe want to go raid Bob’s home, so you log in on your own character and go tell the guards, even though your character couldn’t possibly know this information.
What is Powergaming?: Forcing emotes upon others, or ‘god-moting’ as some put it. Its basically deciding what happens to someone’s character without their approval, such as swinging a sword and lopping off their head in one swing, or shooting a crossbow bolt into their face and instantly killing them.
Character Creation
Name: Rafla Codwen
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Origin: Cattagia
Biography:
Born to a working class family within the more rural parts of Cattagia, Rafla found herself tilling fields and working livestock an early age. Very quickly she found she preferred the finer things, she had a great appreciation for the aesthetic of luxury, and lusted after it more than she could any person. Even more quickly she found that to gain luxury, one must gain wealth. She started out simply selling small things she found, using youthful charm to merchant out flowers or pretty stones, eventually saving enough for a hunter’s bow, and then selling wild game and hides to a point she could more easily afford the trinkets and baubles she so found herself so deeply enamored with.
As she and her collection grew, so did her greed. Nothing ever quite seemed to be enough. Her dreams of wealth grew ever larger, her desire for power and exclusivity even grander. She wallowed in the hollowness of her hoard for years, until the rumors of a strange island and its even stranger resources managed to reach her ears.. As she went along in life, as more news came, as more thoughts swirled in her mind about this strange new discovery, she became dour and bitter. How dare Exedia keep such a delight away from the populace? How dare they deny her access to more treasures?
After a year or so of brooding. Rafla made her choice. Despite how it pained her, she liquidized the majority of her material wealth in order to pay for a more private room aboard the ships. Just because she was taking the same transport as anyone else didn’t mean she had to wallow alongside them after all. Now she waits for landing, sharp eyes staring out the porthole of her room, mind twirling with thoughts of what lay ahead, and what it will mean for herself.
Your character's physical appearance:
Only standing a touch over five feet, Raf’s diminutive size tends to be a rather defining overall feature. With a slimmer frame, she seems even smaller than she already is. She has wavy, auburn hair that hangs to her shoulder blades, though she typically keeps it pulled back in a bun, letting a fringe hang around an oval shaped face with sharp, calculating blue-grey eyes. She still has freckles from her youth that never seemed to fade, much to her dismay, despising the childish look it gives her with her slim frame. Despite her size, she is by no means a weakling, constant use of bows of various sizes has resulted in intense tensile strength in her shoulders and upper back, equaling a wonderfully powerful backhand, but. not much for a punch or slap.
Your character's strengths and weaknesses:
Due to her small size, Rafla is physically weak other than a strong amount of tensile strength in her shoulders and upper body, she is by no means a ‘tanky’ character. Due to a history of hunting, she’s a fairly decent tracker, and capable of going for miles at a steady walk or easy job, however she is not capable of hard sprints for very long or far, due to the small size of her chest and lungs. She considers herself intelligent, even though she has no prowess for numbers, usually using her appearance of innocence as a way to get more for less over actual mathematical prowess, and is rather skilled with emotional manipulation and coercion, though she herself acknowledges she’s rather vulnerable to being flustered and is very weak against flirts or compliments. Treating her with genuine positiveity tends to confuse her to no end. She is also insatiably greedy and materialistic, rather easily bribed with fancy things and often finding herself in trouble due to chasing after expensive baubles with single-minded obsession.
