Once upon a time, you'd avoid huge castles filled to the brim with gold. There was a day when you'd have hoped to have earned every penny of your money. But ages when caution and pride outweighed slyness and greed are long gone. It's an age where you can't leave town with or without your small band of knights, for some bandit or another will pick at your forces until you're defenseless. The age is also one of banishment, where crowds of men from over the mountain walk into the valley towns that were once legitimate merchant's guilds; and all because of strict rules no man nor woman should be expected to follow. And with all these newcomers, mostly without a penny to their name, one must up their standards to cope. So rules have been risen, and many native folk, too, banished for their false 'incompetence'.
And many of these men, lost in hopelessness, have fled to sea. None will ever miss them, and many will forget they ever existed. And that's why the Castle exists. It flies above the sea, hidden from afar by clouds and by fog up close. Neither pillar nor propeller keeps it suspended up above, solely magic and soul. It's lined with gold and made of marble, and despite cheery appearance, holds only curse and monstrosity.
You have been deemed unworthy of your society, and have been kicked out without even some flour or a horse. All you can do is hope, by chance, that you find a way, or a Castle, to bring you from this nightmare. And by chance, you do. Looking up at the massive thing above you, and seemingly alone, you begin to climb the vines that hang from it's domed lower structure.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rules: Well, For one, use proper grammar and spelling. Spacing and punctuation are MUSTS, because bad spacing and punctuation is annoying to read. Second, you may kill other players, but only at moments that seem a good time for a bit of drama. Don't worry if you die, just make another character. Last, don't godmod. It's really annoying.

| I actually thought of this while researching the Renaissance for a project. I can't find the page I found the idea in, but it has to do with Gold and Souls. |

For a first thread, I mean. If I wanted to get nitpicky, I could say "Oh, but there isn't any room for you to write your own background, myehafdasdlga." But I'm not nitpicky, so :D |

"Once upon a time you were afraid of large castles filled to the brim with gold"
What does that mean? |

N@me: Akira Montanoiryuka @ge: 22 Gender: F Appearance: Has waist length midnight black hair and her bangs barely cover her right eye. She has harsh, narrow eyes that are a deep grey and almost black. Despite Akira's soft facial features, her sickly pale skin tone almost diminishes that factor. She's around 5'7" and not particularly scrawny. Clothing: She wears a low cut long-sleeved black shirt with a crimson corset setting on top, a somewhat short black skirt with a silver lining across the bottom, a two inch wide red ribbon as a belt, thigh-high charcoal stockings, and knee-high black boots/heels. Akira also usually wears a black cloak to hide herself. Bio: Akira isn't one to enjoy the presence of others, but she tolerates it. She prefers the simple life, however, she can get into the adventurous life if there is ever an opportunity. Extra: N/A |

@Cool, Sorry, Your character seems... Well, Like it's just been done before. Before, as in several hundred times a week 'before'. Might be a bit harsh, but I just really hate Cliche characters.
@Midge, Descriptive, Perfect.
Is it abnormal that I took ten minutes to write this single post? |

I think we have enough people to begin. Try not to write much more than 3 lines per post, that way I have time to let NPCs respond and random events occur. |

| The time of day wasn't relevant to anything besides navigation when at sea, yet you couldn't help but wonder. The dense fog seemed to swallow everything, and it felt like it whispered, even yelled at you in voices hardly distinguishable against the sound of crashing waves. You frowned, afraid, yet so determined to not be afraid that you wouldn't turn back. Sailing through fog and confusion, slowly becoming unsure of your position, you began to feel a creeping sense of undying dread. It was in this state, at what later became clear to be midnight, that you saw the vines and hanging Marble Dome above you. |

N@me: Starr Loxwood @ge: 16 Gender: Female Appearance: Starr has onyx black hair. She has deep, ocean blue eyes that look as navy as a tormented ocean in darkness and as light blue as a sky after a storm in sunlight. Starr has paleish skin, and a nimble figure. She looks weak, yet muscles hide under her girly dress. Starrs eyelashes are thick and dark. She has a scar on her cheek and a tatoo of a white rose on her upper thigh. Clothing: Starr is wearing a dark blue dress, with sleeves that bearly cover her shoulders. The dress goes down to a little above her knees. She is also wearing a fake silver bracelet on her left hand. A belt goes around her waist under her dress holding a deadly knife. She is wearing some brown, worn down boots. Bio: Grew up in a thieving family. Knew how to pickpocket a full grown man by 6. Got kicked out of her town for getting caught steeling from a "guard". Really she was teaching her friend how to pickpocket, and when her friend got caught she took the blame. Extra: |

Accepted. And you start apart, on separate ships. You will find a blank hallway with no doors upon entry, where nothing will happen until all characters are there. |

I sat, staring at the sky. I was lonely, wondering what would happen when I arrived at my destination. The thing I wondered most, was, if other people would be there as well. |
