OOC: The Lost Dragonling (Open)

[Remec]

Hello...

I've been away from SRP for a short while, but have been in the mood to start something new. This is a fantasy...high magic, epic adventure, lusty heroes, sexy wenches...the whole works. If you need grounding, the original tale comes from a home D&D campaign I participated in, but we'll let things flow as they happen.

If you're interested, leave a description and a few details of who you are and why you might be involved in a search for a lost young dragon...the impetus for the quest, for now<g>. Once I think we've got a nice little group together, I'll start the actual thread running...but shooting for beginning by next Monday(Dec 6) at the latest.

Use this thread also to discuss anything you want to do that you think might be too much in terms of magic, items, equipment, technology, and/or character abilities...

Rialle - A lovely young elven woman, long, flowing, deep auburn hair with goldish highlights, with golden eyes that are normally sparkling with amusement. A woman of magical Druidic type training, nature, elements, etc. Golden skin, a deep blue/black tattoo of a dragon holding a red gem on the small of her back. Wears leather made of the softest doeskin, sleeveless vest with a deep v-neck, skin tight breeches, knee high mocassins, and carries a large wooden staff with her. Usually several paces behind her, staying mostly in the brush is her companion, a small black wolf.

Rialle is on a quest. She is part of what most of her kind believe to be a prophecy. The only female elf born in this century to have the mark... a small silver crescent shape, like a quarter moon, on the inside of her right wrist. The elven King lies ill and most fear him to be on his deathbed, the illness of a sort they've never seen. But the prophecy spoken ages ago by an old witch tells the story of an elven woman with the silver mark... she is to take the crimson jewel, the heirloom of her family... and fill it with a young dragon's tear. This tear filled jewel, placed on a cord made from a unicorn's mane around the King's neck... will cure him of his magical ailment.

And so she travels to ?? (insert your location here) in search of a young dragon. She is alone, though I toyed with the idea of a single male bodyguard with her, if someone wanted to play that role. If not, she is alone with her wolf companion.

If this is acceptable to your story, great! If not, let me know what you'd like me to change!

Harlot was what one would call a typical human knight. He was of noble birth, but not the first son of the lord and thus had no chance of inheriting the estate and becoming the lord himself. So, like most second-born he recieved elite military training instead, destined to raise in ranks of the small kingdom and perhaps distinguish himself enough to be granted an estate of his own by the king. Unfortunately, all did not go so well. His father became a casualty of the king's court's intrigue, his entire clan declared traitors and most of them executed. Harlot escaped, going into exile to far away lands of the elves, where he became an elite mercenary to support himself.

He was hired by Rialle, a lovely elven lady, to accompany her on her quest of some kind. Something about dragons, gems, kings, he wasn't really sure. He usually got confused when magic entered the equation. All he knew was that she was a generous mistress and the adventure promised to be exciting.

He held his white mithril helmet - matching his chain armor and sword - in his hand, running another hand through his brown hair. His green eyes studied the big wolf trailing them. "Are you sure, you got him well under control?" Harlot asked her yet again. He didn't understand why she insisted on having the wolf with them, let alone how she managed to control the powerful beast. He knew because of the wolf they had to walk rather than ride, and that made the knight a little annoyed. He felt best on horseback.

Lex

A 23 year old human warrior/thief with brilliant red hair.

Her parents were killed when she was very young. For many years, she lived as a street urchin, stealing to get by, and training in weaponry at every chance that she got.

Since she turned 14, she has been working as a mercenary and thief for whomever paid her the most money. However, she is not above a little treachery, and it is not uncommon for her to just take the spoils of war for herself.

She is quite ahead of her time, participating in sexual practices while not under the sanctity of marriage.

She joins this expedition to see if there is any riches in the dragon cave.

Picture of Lex here.

Very nice

Good point! I've forgotten how much traffic this forum actually gets sometimes. Need to keep things afloat before they're lost in the scroll...<g>

I think you may need a bad guy --

Name: Corianna (Cor)
Age: 26
Occupation: Priestess/Mage

Corianna, born a human princess, was sent into service due to the sheer violent force of her magic. At the age of 16, the Order she belonged to was destroyed by a monstrous blast of magic. In the throes of a horrible nightmare, she had lashed out and destroyed the order and the city surrounding it. The Order was located in the capital, and her entire family was killed. Cor was the only survivor.
At 26, she is a wanderer, a purveyor and sometime thief of magic, powerful, unrestrained, and quite mad. She's heard tell of the dragonling in her travels. Her intention is to trap it and eat its heart as it beats in its chest. This, she knows, would increase her powers a thousandfold.

A bad guy... well.. girl.. is a good idea.

Oops! Did I bump this!?

Here is your chaotic bad guy to even things out. For your approval.

Scream Bladedancer

Scream was a deadly assassin/warrior, he worked the streets of his home city and became quite good at killing things and taking what wasn’t his, with his knowledge of the shadows he trained with a sword and dagger, learning everything he could about them. He was an elf, half elf, half drow, his hair was white, but his eyes had a crimson red hue to them, he was slender, but very toned, at his side he carried a long sword and a deadly assassin blade, throwing knives in his bracer. He wore a black cloak and black chain mail under his clothes. He was quiet by nature, he always paid close attention to detail of people and things, calm and cool, but when it came to doing what he loved, emotionless, and heartless.

Scream found himself on the road to find some lost dragonling for his Guild leader and he didn’t even know why he took this crappy assignment, his resources told him though that many people were looking for this and that would mean a challenge of blades and skill. He walked down the road and kept his hood drawn over his head as he walked.

“Wonder if I will run into any women…”

Raven wasn't like the others of her kind. She was a pure bred, yet some how her skin was more of a light purplish color instead of the deep dark blue. Hair was the deepest black anyone as ever seen of her breed, which is how the name Raven was given. Ravens' eyes were like looking into crystal, so pure and full of life.
Looked to be about in her 20's in the human standard, but her age was truly unknown to her, after about 90-100 she had lost count of the years.

Her race were dark elves or as most called them, Drows. midnight blue skin, white hair. Most had solid onyx colored eyes and to this day no one knew how Raven became the way she is. Some say she was a half breed, but what the other half would be, is beyond anyones' guess.
Raven was very skilled in being the hunter, or simply put, a ranger, that took most of her years to perfect.
With her was a massive black tiger. He was much bigger than any wild cat alive, the size of a saber tooth. He was given to her by her trainer when he was a kitten. She had proven her worthy and Luathas became her gift. Ever since then, the two have been unsepratable.

Raven had heard about a dragonling and how people are going after it to hunt it down for whatever their reasons may be. This was something she could not allow. Dragons were sacred to her, one had saved her life once. And to let some draonling be killed was something she could not live with. Therefore she set out as soon as she could in hope of getting there before anyone and protect this dragon with her life.

Hi folks

Alrighty, we're up and running...most of us, that is. But not to fear, we'll bring in everyone very soon. <smile>

I'm going to try to drop by tomorrow morning (Friday), but I'm going to a mini gaming convention this weekend and may not be around until Monday morning or afternoon.

So, depending on how the flow of events happens, we should bring the rest of the characters in to the story by the middle of next week...

Some quick questions...

1. Raven--Do you have any group affiliations? Special allegiances to racial, professional, religious, or governmental organizations?

2. Cor--Do you have a name for this dark magic god(dess) you serve? For background purposes...the land you are in is named Pleneth, and its capital is Caelene...

3. Lex--Same as for Raven...you've been a mercenary, but is money the be all, end all to your existence or have you ever found a cause to serve? Is there a cause that might awaken a less monetary drive behind your service?

4. Harlot---The Kingdom of Pleneth went through a period of upheaval for several decades as the crown was usurped by a cousin of the rightful heir. This prince went into hiding, although assumed dead, and came back to power within the time that you have finally emerged from the elven lands (Elvish kingdom is Olythyr, their main stronghold within Pleneth is a lush, magical wood named Taur-en-Anor yes, I crib from Tolkein occasionally, why do you ask?<g> )
Since we're beginning before the quest begins, Rialle and you will get to roleplay through her hiring you as her bodyguard. 'Kay? <g>
