I've made up a story for a fantasy RP in less than an hour, rather fleshed out too. With Yash's permission and interest of course, we shall start it up. The base plot is a bit like Final Fantasy, but also like D&D with some Fullmetal Alchemist.

Anyway, here's the bio form:
Name:
Age:
Gender:
Race: (anthros are allowed, elves are nigh extinct, and thus non-playable. no exceptions.)
Occupation: (Soldier, Guard, pauper, pretty much anything)
Kingdom/Nationality: (Argona, southern kingdom of plains; Harashi Empire, land of the bloody sunrise; Noldia, the northern Reaches; Brysallia, realm of elven culture and magic; and Reashadam, the central republic.)
Combat style:(what weapon you use and how you use it)
Personality:
Description:(Lack of armor to make oneself look cool in combat will result in character death or maiming)


One thing to remember: I have no problem killing off player characters to preserve the storyline. Don't do anything stupid.

Name: Drake
Age: 15 Human years
Race: Human
Gender: Female
Occupation: Assassin
Kingdom/Nationality: Harashi Empire, land of the bloody sunrise
Combat style: Dual Kunai's so i can jump and slash

Description: She may lack the armour but she is to fast to be hit normally. She only wears tattered clothes that can be destroyed but as i said she is hard to hit normally

Umm assassis also use kunai

three things:

1. I forgot to add the Occupation section to the bio format, which I have since updated. If you would kindly add that so I know what your character does.

2. I said no elves, this includes half-elves. The only elf in the game shall be an NPC, and leader of one of the kingdoms.

3. Isn't 15 a bit young? (though this really isn't a problem but more a question.)


and yes, thanks for catching the no-gender part for me Dragoon, I thought that names could hint at gender, but the name "Drake" being female kinda proved me wrong there.

Anyway, You guys should know... the players aren't gonna be the main characters in the RP. Sure, you can have your own stories and goals, but the main roles in the RP in the plot I've made are the royalty, whom are NPCs. As such, you also can't be royalty, or any "Lost royalty".

Nurse.... well, this is set in a kind of midevil time, so there may not be such an occupancy, and even so I don't think they carry Kunai around with them unless they're retired ninjas....


but I guess something along the lines of an Herbologist would be more timeframe-oriented.

Location: Blabble
Name: Richelo Ebony
Age: 31
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Occupation: Guard
Kingdom/Nationality:Reashadam, the central republic.
Combat style:A flamberge, and he always tries to dodge or block, and than horizontally slice, he has won most fights doing this oddly.
Personality: Quick-acting, boastful, bad sportsmanship, and always trys to get ladies, but only if it makes sense.
Description:He has tough muscles and lightly tanned skin. He has a head of black hair that is normally very short, so enemies can't grab it when attacking. His eyes are brown, and he has many scars across him from fights he nearly died from. As for clothing, he wears thick cloth shirts since he believes mail will slow him down too much, and he wears thick cloth pants as well, steel greaves, and leather gloves so it's easier to hold his sword.


THAT'S PROFESSOR HAWK.

Balthasar Caden

Age:
23

Gender: Male

Race/Description: I'm a short white-and-orange cat-boy. I usually wear an elaborate morning coat over a nice silk vest. I don't wear an undershirt, and have a triangle of orange fur around my neck that makes a nice tie metaphor. I almost invariably wear my silver and black-leather collar, it has a gem at the tip of the buckle. I don't always wear shoes, but when I do, they're usually soft leather boots.

Occupation: I'm a vintner. I make barrels and jump around in grapes, staining my feet and legs purple. I stir up yeast and carve corks. Mostly I do what my dad tells me to do. I'm his only son, so I must learn all of this if I'm to manage his cellar after his passing.

Kingdom/Nationallity: Reashadam, and I'm fairly vocal in the local government. My voice is limited by my father's connections to more conservative powers, and I must obey him if I want to inherit the cellar instead of my brother in law - but it's always an issue I push to the brink. It's the one subject of which my father and I will not speak, as it always ends in angry shouting.

Combat Style: While as a member of the low gentry, I have had some fencing training - which I enjoyed and excelled at, mind you, Father - I have never had a duel. I know the theory, and love the rapier he gave me on my last birthday, but I have never actually had to face another man wielding an un-padded rapier.

Instead, I might say, my preferred fighting method is the cudgel. I have actually fought people with an empty wine bottle, or the leg of a chair. Honestly, I do prefer it! The piercing blade of the rapier is more likely to kill my opponent - but if I break a bottle over his head, I can win the fight and buy him a beer next night.

Personality: I vocally oppose the current leadership. Council doesn't really heed me, and I am more vocal in response. But I'll shut up when my father gets that tone of voice that tells me I'd better. I'm young enuf to be out on the town, but old enuf to know I'd better not displease my father unduly, or one of my sisters will carry her new family name on the bottles in our basement.

Social Context: I'm not a noble. But I and my father run a very successful business. We're gentry. Or, I suppose, he is. He owns our vineyard, just out of town, around our summer house. He has the family capital to buy produce for other fruit wines. I'm just his son, and help run the business. I'm the guy who can still lift the barrels, the one with the strength of lung to blow wine bottles.

My sisters are both married. My mother keeps asking after them about grandkids. My father keeps asking me when I'll marry, but every month there's a new daughter of someone-or-other I should try courting. So I'm not under any real pressure from him, and am free to court the ladies of my choosing so long as I entertain this month's nubile young daughter as well.

very descriptive, I love it, only I'm not sure if anyone would want to buy freshly mashed wine if there's cat hair floating in it (and they do shed a lot)

Well yes, that has been a problem - especially with some of the fruit harvested in spring when we loose our winter coats. But we have strainers for that. Luckily, knitting strainers is apparently women's work - my mother does it. I don't think I'd have the patience to repair those after every few mashes... they're so finely woven. I'll have to be sure I find a wife who can put up with the mundanity.
