Author's Note: I will make this the best role-play I have ever made. Just like in Dungeons & Dragons, the plot will unfold throughout the course of the role-play.
You run through the forest, and your skin is burning from the stabbing of thorns and twigs. You glance back, but see nothing through the darkness of the forest. To your right, a river flows. Otherwise the forest extends in every which way, stretching farther than the eye can see. Everything around you, the trees, shrubs, and animals, are but blurs in the wind. You continue running.
At one point, you see a raft drifting in the river. You slowly turn your body and run towards it. You jump. When you're in the air, you realize you aren't going to make it. Your body falls helplessly into the freezing water. While you're beneath the surface of the water, you feel your hand grabbing something rough. You pull yourself up, and realize you were holding the edge of the raft. You pull yourself onto the raft, rubbing your hands to quickly rid of the splinters.
You lay down on the raft and doze off into a sleep.
The next day, you wake up on a wooden bench. You get up, aching from the stiffness of the bench. You rub your eyes, attempting to wake yourself up. An old bearded man dressed in robes slowly walks towards you. He sits down next to you and asks, "What is your name?" |

(Suddenly noticing that bearded men in robes aren't seen very often anymore, I will assume "yes." I'm sorry if this is a late post.)

"Gen. Interesting name. Not very common here. Well, you'd best head off towards the Guard Master's Office. It's just down the hallway to the left." He gets up and grabs a book. He then goes behind his desk and begins reading. |

I head down the hallway to the left, hoping that my black robes won't seem suspicious. I try to hide the dagger I've had sheathed on the way there.
(We can start out with, stuff, right? RIGHT? If not, just ignore everything except heading down the hallway to the left.) |

(Yes, you can start out with simple stuff.)
A tall muscular man dressed in iron armor puts down his scroll and inkpen and walks over towards you. He examines you carefully and grumbles a few times. "You're fine. Go now." He says, pointing out the door. "To the right."

(Wouldn't it be more interesting not know what NPCs are going to do next?)
I leave and climb up on a building for a better view of the city (I assume it's a city.) I take my hood down, revealing my short black hair and green eyes. Deciding that because I'm wanted for various assassinations, I put my hood back down as to not reveal my face. I begn climbing back down, which is rather easy with my slender physique. |

(Alright. I am going to be French. If I can't be French. Well. :C) I woke up from a nightmare. The little cottage, which I am in this very second, is my home. It has moss growing on the outside, and vines. I live alone, for my parents died when I was at a young age. My name was Fleur, which was French for Flower. My last name was Beaucoup, which stands for Many. I turned to see a girl in a mirror. She had brown hair, in a bun, with dark brown eyes. The girl had pale skin, with a curved nose, and Dusty Rose colored lips. (My favorite color c:) Her clothes were a white blouse, and a dark green skirt. She also had a green cloak on, and a golden necklace. Inside the necklace were two pictures. Her father and mother. She had shoes at the foot of her bed, which were flat shoes. (I do not know what they wore in Medieval time.) The girl was me. Then I remembered. The meadow! (If there is no meadow.. then.. :c) I go there every morning I wake up, because my father and mother used to play there. Hurrying, I get my shoes on, and put the hood of the cloak over my head. There was a neigh outside the cottage door. Lily was there. My horse. She had brown fur, just like my hair. |

| I got on Lily, and she knew where to go. Off we went, on the rocky path to the meadow. It took only five or four minutes to get there. The meadow had a lot of flowers, and long grass. I grabbed a basket, which was in the saddle pocket, on Lily. Then I began to harvest flowers, putting them in my basket. Roses. Lilacs. Carnations. Daffodils. Delphiniums. And who could forget, forget-me-nots? |

Later, I find myself sitting in the inn after taking a break from finding people to assassinate.
"So you were able to climb, yet you just jumped into freezing water?"

| [This is seemingly interesting. So, just to clarify, all I need to do is jump right into the roleplay? Should I follow the actual plot itself?] |
