Frankly I've got very little time for roleplaying these days. However, if I get at least four other people interested that can post twice a week, I'm more than willing to start it up again.

October 2010 MOTM!
Username: Jester
Name: Ishmal Deiten
Nickname: Bane
Age: 32
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Orientation: Heterosexual
Job: An Arena Fighter, Bane kills those who are pitted against him for the amusement of the crowd and his own glory.
Personality: Ishmal is a rather blunt man. He doesn't worry about fancy wording or long ended beguilement. No, he is most well suited for sticking his blade into somethings belly and biting off pieces of it when he's done. He doesn't like high class or wealth people, and tends to scoff at them less he's in the ring. He loves the primal release that comes along with fighting to the death, and there isn't much in life that can compare to it.
Bio: Ishmal Deiten was born to a lower class family. He grew up without much in life, and stole most of what he had. He wasn't very good at this, he was caught and forced into indentured servitude. This found him to the home of a wealthy land owner whom decided to utilize the young man as stock for the ever popular blood sports. He had him trained and soon Ishmal had his debut match. A small one, in a local pit, but it was none the less a stepping stone. Ishmal won the fight and kept his life due to it. Over the next several years he developed a bit of a name for himself in the circuits. By the time his indentured service had ended he had began the starting of a well set name for himself. He chose to stay in the bloody sport and continue to gain prestige and prowess, and soon became one of the highest ranked fighters in the sport.
Weapons: A broad sword, two daggers, and a stiletto.
Physical Power(s): Bane is a dirty fighter and does what ever it takes to win. He has a particular tendency to slip into bloody lust and become intoxicated in combat. His areas of expertise do not exactly extend far beyond the realm of fightings, but what he lacks in diversity he makes up for in zeal.
Motivation: The chance of glory, and further carnage yet unknown to him is all the motivation which Bane requires.
Others: Bane does not know how to read.
Appearance: Standing 6'3 bane is a strong, and heavily muscled frame with shortly cut brown hair covering the hard square features of his face. He has blue eyes which are placed under thick brows, and he has a gouge in his lip that never grew back. His torso is covered with scars of stabs, slashes and punctures from years in the arenas, which he keeps hidden under a leather under-tunic and a shirt of chainmail.



alright lass, here you go. If you need anything altered let me know.

Bad Jew
Username: That Butler
Name: Othello
Nickname: "Hey you!"
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Race: Human, but some people like to joke that he has a bit of devil in him.
Orientation: Bisexual.

Job: Professional Storyteller, Expert of Local and Exotic Lore, and Performer Extraordinaire
Personality: Playful, lively, and jovial are all terms that have been used to describe Othello. In the public eye, he is a charismatic, fun-loving bard who enjoys hearing the thunderous applause of his audience. He frequents taverns, though more for purposes of entertaining others than getting buzzed on liquor. Talking is what he does best, and he will rant about any subject the listener desires, for his knowledge extends to many fields. Some people would label him an attention-seeking idiot, though. His apparent inability to keep his opinion about rather touchy political subjects to himself has gotten him some wonderful approval from audiences, but has precipitated some actions from the local law enforcement that he certainly doesn't want. Or does he? Hard to tell with someone like him. He speaks so much that it's difficult to discern what is the truth and what is fiction.

Part of his entertainment style when he is around crowds is to act like a bit of a flirt toward both the women and the men (assuming he picks out the men who wouldn’t be up-at-arms over such a thing) of his audience. It seems like he does it simply for the humor, but like with many other things about him, it is very difficult to tell if he really means it or not. He’s as difficult to read as a child’s first attempts at writing. But when he is flirting, performing, or simply playing around, he tends to drop a few phrases which, in the world of the player, are clearly French. It’s not a frequent occurrence, but it does happen.

When the crowds have gone and Othello is alone or not being paid attention to, he is far moodier. There is the occasional smile on his face, but he's mostly in a pensive state that is difficult to break him out of. It makes you wonder which face is his true one: the jovial bard or the brooding young man?

Bio: Othello will tell many tales of his past, though the trick is trying to figure out which one is true. One story depicts him as the only child of well-off parents. He was raised with all of the comforts that a child could wish for, learning fascinating subjects from many private tutors and hearing the most wonderful gossip and stories from his parents. In that version, he left home with their blessing to become an entertainer, and he visits them from time to time to share funny stories of his exploits.

Another version depicts him as an orphan that discovered he had a knack for telling stories and making people laugh. He taught himself how to play a flute, and he has been earning a living as a storyteller and performer ever since. The desperate origins would explain his pick-pocketing abilities...

Yet another version of the story tells of him as a young boy working as a servant in a nobleman's manor. He used to tell the most amusing (false) stories to the other servants as a form of entertainment, and they encouraged him to do the same for his master. One thing led to another, and he found himself a free young man, traveling the countryside to tell his tales and play his instrument.

If one of the stories is true or none of them remains to be seen. Only Othello knows the truth of his past, and it would ruin the fun to tell the real tale, would it not?

Regardless of his past, it is very true that his name has been heard in the far reaches of the world, and many monarchs would love to have him perform in their court. He is often accosted by messengers from the Prince of Somewhere and the King of Somewhere-Else and the Emperor of Yet-Another-Somewhere, but he turns them down rather quickly with a simple, "I will make it there eventually, but I have many more places to see first. Good day to you! Au revoir!" That has gotten some forceful reactions from the monarchs, and the result of that has caused rumors of his fighting talents to spread throughout the land as well. Though the fame makes earning a living very easy, it can still be quite the bother sometimes...

Weapons: A long dagger, and a flute. (Believe me when I saw that the flute is a weapon.)
Mythical Power(s): His voice is oddly hypnotic in the sense that it makes others very prone to the powers of suggestion. Maybe people are just more gullible around him, but when he says that there's something big and scary behind you, you look. Might end up getting a blade in your belly because of it, but you look. If he's singing or playing his flute, good luck trying to not listen to him. He is certainly hypnotic.
Physical Power(s): He's not too shabby with a dagger, and he's certainly wonderful with his flute. The instrument seems to come alive when he plays it. It's an amazing thing. His voice is also pleasing to listen to. He also has mastered the art of sleight-of-hand, and will use it as another form of entertaining crowds.
Motivation: For the stories, good sir!
Others: n/a

That's right. If you're going to keep your old profile, there's no need to repost, Chuva. Unless you want to, of course. :P

M'kay Everlasting, but for the sake of what I have in mind, Krae may speak to nature, but nature may not speak back, or its answers will be vague. Keep in mind that these are plants, ya know? Their only concerns are probably sun, earth, air, water, weather etc etc (and the consistency of bird droppings?)

Its a druidic skill. Its not exactly talking but more feelings and what not. Say the group was in a forest and something else in the forest stepped on a plant he would know about it but not the exact location. Do you understand?

Mm, well, that's still a bit much. Because then the presence of that person would be known. I'd rather the power be much more minor, or not have a power at all. He's already one of the best fighters in the realm, and I do plan for mythical powers to come into play for your characters later on in the rp.

Username: Chuva
Name: Senki Atashi
Nickname: None, sorry. >__<
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Orientation: Strait
Job: n/a
Personality: Tender.Gentle.Soft.Strong.

Senki is the type of lady that is into all the of little things in life. Breathing, life, and other things. She finds peace in those things. She's often shy, and keeps to herself. Senki is very empathetical, and hates seeing pain, especially in children. She is the kind of person that wants to spread an inner peace and joy into the person, just how she has it.

However, Senki also has self-esteem problems...she often looks down on herself, and she has a terrible problem of Comparing herself to others. And when she does, she gets down, because everyone was made to be different. Senki's personality is often based off of others, as she tries to be like them...so she can feel "accepted" and what not.
Bio: As a child, she grew up on a small island village, learning the practices of her people; honor, respect, hard work and love. The boys in her village would practice their form of martial art, while the women would practice a type of natural healing, acupuncture, plant medicine, etc. While the village people were a people of peace, they used the men used their martial art as a way of life; not just as fighting.

Senki, was always influenced by wise people, for her family was always busy with work, and her grandparents were the ones who took care of her. She wanted to learn how to fight. She'd learned the human body; the chakra points, how to open up chi flows, acupuncture. Which flowers were poison, which weren't. She wanted to take these skills, and hone them to the offensive.

Doing this would be going against the system, but it was inspired from her Grandfather's words, "You know how to fight so you don't have to fight." She was a lady of peace, and that was all.

Taking this advice, she begged her grandfather. It was always the same simple answer: "No, customs are customs," Until one day, she showed her wit a speed.

A boy was stuck in a tree, and well, he couldn't get down, because he was holding the cat that had gotten stuck in the tree. The "men" of the village were too busy to notice, and he was a wimp if he couldn't get down himself. Senki, feeling sorry for him, decided to do something.

Though scared and uncomfortable, she did what she thought to do. She went around the village, taking the middle piece of wire and eventually forming a long thing strang of it; enough to get the boy and the cat down. Taking a handful of acupuncture needles, she "nailed" them into the tree. Holding the end of the wire rope, she got her running distance, and said, "I'm going to try to save you," And starting running. Her run blended into a jump, and as she stepped on the first needle, she had to go the next, as the needles would collapse after being stepped on.

She was at the top, and the rather fat boy was sighing with relief. Taking the wired rope she constructed, she found a thick enough branch to tie it around, and grabbed the boy with one of her hands. The boy was rather small (only a 5 year old at most) and it's cat was tabby.

"Hang on to me," She said, as she grabbed tight to the rope, and slowly eased themselves down.

In the end, the family was rather happy, and her grandfather saw what she could do.

She would be trained. (In secret, of coarse.)



Weapons: Needles. She carries aroud many antidotes with her~ :o
Mythical Power(s): None...yet.
Physical Power(s): Senki has amazing speed. She's hard to spot at times. Her aim is almost dead on, and she has a very keen mind. She uses a martial art form that her grandfather taught her, where the main focus of the technique is to take the opponents energy and use it against them.
She knows of all the human pressure points, and how to use them against the opponent.
Motivation: Once the village found out she was practicing martial arts and the like, creating her own style, she was very much left to be alone. Kicked out.
Upon receiving the letter, she put it as an exuse to escape.

Well, he no longer has that speed, and I'm guessing that the kindom is really far away. You can describe traveling away from the kingdom in a flashback or something, if that's what you want to do.
