§-You Must Read-§ ®Pretty much Everything. ® ®Everything but the plot explains all the details and such that is needed.® _____________________________________________________________________________________ §-Plot-§ ®A mysterious man recently came from the lands beyond the Eastern Mountains. The only thing known about this man is that he is a powerful Empowered. Behind him was a powerful army. Tain, unused to any type of combat, drafted many males into their miniscule army. Within days the mysterious man had taken over most of Tain and most of Tain’s soldiers had died. In less than a week Domic, Tain’s capital, was overtaken. The mysterious man executed the Royal Family and all the nobles who had foolishly stayed in the Palace. This powerful Empowered had himself crowned as the new ruler and named himself the Emperor. Life is now terribly different for the Tainian’s. Many people have died and others are dying. The Emperor is ordering all Empowered to be killed. People want to rebel but most aren’t brave enough… If no one tries to stop the Emperor he will become Tain’s permanent ruler. ® _____________________________________________________________________________________ §-Country-§ ®Tain®
®Current Leader® °Emperor°
® Royal Family® °The Tain were the previous Royal Family and are still considered to be the Royal Family, despite the fact that they are no longer in power.° ®Life of the Citizens® °Tain is not the best country to live in. The Rich and Corrupted rule. The poor live terrible lives. There is not really a middle class. Most people either don’t have enough money or have more than enough money. If you are lucky you have just enough to get by, but that is rare because the rich and corrupted take everything, making them some of the most hated people in Tain. Tain is like a medieval fantasy world. There are no televisions, computers, or anything like that. The closest thing to a television is the Dream Mist. Every royal, and a few other talented people, can show the Dream Mist to others around them. This projects images just like a TV. This may show made up images or something that is happening at that moment. ° °Tain’s people also live in fear of the many guilds that have formed throughout the land. The Draco are the most powerful and most feared guild. They are often known to be assassins and control many parts of the country. One city is entirely ruled by the Draco. The king’s word means almost nothing to the Draco and their followers. °
®Resources® °Tain is a hilly, plantation like country. There are a few forests here and there but most of the country is composed of flat land and hills. The soil of Tain is extremely rich, allowing any different types of crops to be grown here. The climate is slightly diverse, allowing even the rarest types of plants to be grown somewhere in the country. Because of this Tain is an agricultural based nation who makes money of selling food and crafted items. °
®History® °The original Tainians came from the nation of Balea, a terrible land haunted by spirits, evil doers, and outlaws. Their ruler was a man some would compare to Satan. The words evil and cruel could not begin to describe him. To put it nicely their ruler was a monster. One day the village of Maur was slaughtered. There were few survivors. Quickly the Robert Tain took on the role of leadership. Robert Tain was determined to help his people regain the freedom they had lost centuries ago. With the help of his family he guided the remaining survivors through the Barren Lands and over the Eastern Mountains. Many people joined the Tainians on their quest for freedom. Soon their numbers had increased dramatically. Originally there were only 24 survivors, when they reached the eastern mountains there were over 1,000 people willing to risk everything for freedom. After many troubles and a fight with their previous ruler the Tainians made it to a new land, Tain. Tain was quickly established as a land meant for the persecuted. People from many nations traveled to Tain, deciding to settle. It only took 100 years for Tain to become a popular country. Life was perfect until the Tainian’s king, Robert Tain, died, passing the crown to his son, Jeremiah. That was when the nation started to go downhill. It took many years to decide who the crown would go to, for Robert had many illegitimate children and the growing Tain needed to find the best ruler. ° _____________________________________________________________________________________ §-Places-§ ®Description of the land® °Tain is a small piece of land near the eastern border of the continent Ursio. It is nearly surrounded by land. The Western Coast is the only area in the nation that touches Alixia, one of the seven large oceans. Tain is filled with a hills, plateaus, and plains. There are a few large forests. The biggest forest is near the western border. This forest is called Domini’s Woods since it is rumored to be the home of the leading god, Domini. Few people travel to Domini’s woods for they are scared of the repercussions. Those who make it out of the woods come back blind, wounded, and half crazed if they have not been “invited.” Those that are invited never seem to return. Domic, Tain's capital, is directly east of Domini's woods. It is situated in the center of the nation. Surrounding Domic are 3 small towns: Alio, Dieriam, and Feriost. The capital is in the middle of the rough circle they seem to form. Near the capital is the Blood Rose Inn. There are a few small settlements scattered around the area north east of the capital. South east of Domini's Woods is Kieriam, a city. The Eastern Mountains take up nearly the entire eastern border. There are a few other forests and settlements. The farther away from the capital the better off the poor seem to be. The rich never stray far from the Capital because of the Draco. °
®Blood Rose Inn® °The Blood Rose Inn is said to be the home and base of the Draco. It makes sense considering there are many murders and disappearances linked to this seemingly innocent Inn. The owner of the inn is a descendent of the royal line and a suspected child of the recently deceased Draco leader. This inn is a very fine place though so many rich customers tend to ignore the all the rumors linked to this place. °
®Alio® °A small town, slightly north east of Domic. ° °Alio holds the Star’s Blessing Inn, which is owned by young woman, named Ali, and her hated father, Daren. It is a crowded place. Many people come to hear the young woman sing and to hear the legends that her father often tells. The only thing they like about Daren are the legends he tell. ° °The Tainted Flower is an apothecary shop owned by old Sara, a Demonic Empowered. She sells many rare plants and herbs. Most people don’t use what they buy for healing though. Sara owns a special collection of deadly plants and poisons. °
® Dieriam ® °A small town, slightly north west of Domic. ° °The Minstrel is a small orphanage and library/ book store owned by young Jeremiah. Many orphaned and abandoned children help run the small library for Jeremiah. In exchange for their help he takes care of them and helps find them good homes. A few of these children he has officially adopted. Those that he adopts are said to be his messengers. °
® Feriost ® °A small town, slightly south east of Domic. ° °The 7 Moons is an inn owned by Malia, the baker’s daughter. Malia was adopted at a young age after her parents abandoned her. She is known to be a kind Demonic Empowered. She runs this somewhat fancy inn with her 3 children. °
® Kieriam ® ° This small city is close to Domini’s Woods. °Domini’s Temple is the home of a Domini Empowered family. This small family is the priests of the Domini Religion. This temple would be extremely popular if people weren’t afraid of Domini. Old and seemingly crazy people visit the temple. It is rare to see someone without grey hair at the temple unless they are part of the priestly family, Kai. °
®Domic® °This is the Capital of Tain° °Mai’s Messengers is a large stone building that seems to be home to the mysterious Messengers. It is also a small academy meant to educate the extremely rich. A few talented children are given scholarships. Each orphan is also educated here. They do not receive the best education, even though it is better than the education of most poor and orphaned children. Mai’s Messengers is also a small orphanage. Mai, a woman who appears to be in her forties, runs both the orphanage and the academy. °
°The Palace is a large palace home to the Royal Family. Recently a few of the spare chambers have been turned into execution and torture chambers. This once beautiful palace has been turned into a living hell. Few people leave the Palace alive. °
®Eastern Mountains® °Dalia is a small settlement in the eastern mountains. Little is known about it and few people care about this settlement. °
®Domini’s Woods® °This is simply the home of Domini, the leading god. Few people visit this forest for they are afraid of the consequences. If you are not invited by Domini you may return wounded, blind, and insane. If you are invited you don’t seem to return. ° _____________________________________________________________________________________ §-Empowered-§ ®Domini® °The Domini have one known gift. This gift is that they can contact the angelic spirits. They can also enter a small “world” that is a lot like Domini’s Wood. This “world” is called the Other Wood. Those who enter this version of Domini’s Wood have little to worry about if they listen to the angelic spirits. If they don’t they may be killed. Some Domini can take items to and from the Other Wood. The most powerful Domini can take a person or group of people into the Other Wood. They may also bring that person back. ° °They may have more gifts but all others are unknown. °
®Demonic® °The Demonic Empowered have the ability to temporarily control a demon or demonic spirit. The most powerful of the Demonic may be able to more or less permanently enslave a demon. ° °Each Demonic seems to have the ability to manipulate fear and dread. They also can manipulate other feelings like sorrow. Because of this they have the ability to dive into a person’s mind and drag out their worst fears, feelings, and memories and show them to their victim.°
®Paranormal® °The Paranormal Empowered may be considered some of the most powerful Empowered because of some of their gifts. Their biggest gift is their ability to enter the darker version of Eferai, the Spiritual Realm. Here they may talk to spirits, requesting their help. The most powerful Eferai can capture these dead spirits or send another living person to the Spiritual Realm. ° °The paranormal have one more gift. This gift is unknown though. °
®It is rare for a person to be an Empowered. Those that have one of these rare gifts are powerful; some are more powerful than others. It is even rarer for a person to have two or more of these gifts. Those with multiple gifts are dangerous. That is exactly why the Emperor could take over Tain, he is the only person known to be two types of Empowered. ® _____________________________________________________________________________________ §-The Draco and other Guilds/ Organizations-§ ®Draco® °Assassin Guild° °The Draco have no known purpose. Most people believe that the Draco are just greedy murderers. There are rumors that the Draco may actually be good though…° °Most of the members of this guild are assassins, thieves and murderers. ° °Their history is currently unknown. The only thing known about the Draco is that they are an assassin group that pretty much ruled the country before the Emperor came. °
®Messengers® °It is unknown what type of organization this is. ° °Their purpose is unknown. A few people believe that the messengers were trying to over through the Tain’s for some weird, mysterious reason. ° °The people that join this group usually seem to be young, a few of them children. They usually are poor. ° °Their history is currently unknown. ° _____________________________________________________________________________________ §-Important People-§ ®Emperor® °He calls himself the Emperor. His real name is unknown. ° °This Emperor looks to be in his late twenties or early thirties. His true age is unknown. ° °The Emperor is a tall, somewhat muscular man. He has dark brown, nearly black, hair that falls to his shoulders. He also has sea green eyes. His skin is a slight tan. ° °Nothing is known about his history. All that is known about him is that he took over Tain and is now their hated ruler. He also seems to want to destroy every single Empowered. ° °All that is known about his abilities is that he is a Demonic and Paranormal Empowered.° ®The rest of these characters will be added later when we meet more important characters. ® _____________________________________________________________________________________ §-Other/ Rules-§ ®Yes the names may seem weird and somewhat terrible but they are words from the gods language. ® ®Little is known about the Empowered, the Draco, the Messengers, and the Emperor. Everything will be revealed later in the story. Little is also known about the Domini religion due to the fact that everyone fears the gods. Few people try to learn about the gods and spirit. ® ®Ignore all the weird symbols please. I used them to organize everything in my notes® ®This is going to be kind of complex. There are many secrets and plans that will make this more than a basic, overthrow the evil ruler, type of role-play. Everything will be revealed later in the story so you kind of need to join early to have a good part. There is a chance you can join later but you may be lost. If you do try and join later and I do accept you I will help you if you get confused. Do not have any plot twists and such unless you ask me.® ®Now I am sure you know the basic rules. Do not g-mod, uber, be a mary sue/ gary stue, or anything like that.You also must use grammar and story mode. You must be accepted before you start role-playing. You also must listen to me at all times. I overrule you all. What I say goes no matter what. It is not in the rules is not an excuse.®
§-CS-§ Name? Age? (You can be at least 13. I would like if characters are at least 17 though) Gender? Appearance? Personality? Any skills or talents? Any Weaknesses? Are you Empowered? If so what type?: (Everyone can not be Empowered.... Remember this is RARE) Home? (Where does your character live currently?) Occupation? (Use this to say if you work for a guild) History? (Yes, this is needed.) Items? (Yes you may have weapons. Remember this role-play takes place in medieval times.) Anything else?

[I'm going to make an Empowered, if that is all right. This took me over an hour :/]
§-CS-§
Name? Locke [Can't think of a good last name :/]
Ag.e? 18 [May change depending on what others choose.]
Gen.der? Male
Appearance? Locke is thin and slender, he isn't skinny enough to easily see his bones but he is fairly thin. He has very pale skin, and darkly colored bags under his eyes alot of the time. He has shaggy black hair, and several scars lining his body. His eyes are bloodshot and the irises are as black as the pupil. His fingernails are long and pointed and he normally either has a dangerous gleam in his eye and the half-grin you'd see a murderer having. Alot of the time he has a blank, morbid expression. He usually wears a black type robe during the night, or black dyed leather pants and jacket. He wears black boots.
Personality? Locke is a very morbid person, without him really knowing. He is calm and serious, and most consider him a heartless, cold fiend. Which could be true. He isn't fun to be around but and the only time he makes anything close to a joke is when he makes a sarcastic comment. He is sane, but many do not believe this but his mind doesn't really work the same way as others. He doesn't trust few, but can be a good friend. He loves to see pain and death, and will fight anyone no matter how outnumbered or 'outgunned' he is. He does this for the 'kicks'. He is a very hateful person and contains his anger until he just snaps, which is a dangerous trait that many serial killers have in common with him.
Any skills or talents? He doesn't fear death, moreso embraces it. Making him not afraid to do things which can and probably will get him killed. He is also a fast runner and climbed, despite his weak and bony look.
Any Weaknesses? He isn't very strong, nor trusting.
Are you Empowered? If so what type?: Yes, he was. It was a blessing and curse. He is a Paranormal.
Home? He lives in Feriost.
Occupation? He has no job or purpose. This is his own words.
History? Locke grew up a loner, but being feared by his peers. Sometimes if someone challenged him, he would do small things likes drag a small dagger across his face, drawing blood to end confrontations quickly. He was a very mellow boy, and would sometimes fall asleep during the day, as during the night small things like he would see a shadow at the end of the hall, the wind would talk to him or other things. This caused him to become dangerous. He became hateful and untrusting, from his nights full of fear. He slowly grew used to these things an over time began to embrace them. Eventually, he found his calling and when he hit 16, left to travel the lands.
Items? He carries a blade which some call cursed. It is as long as a shortsword, but has technology slightly more advanced than others. His blade can retract into his handle, which is black and has a silver gleam. It shows many different vines and a few skulls on it. The blade is silver, which has an errie black glow to it but the blade itself appears almost white. Think of it as a medieval version of a 'switchblade'.
Anything else? I read everything important, or everything because I couldn't tell worthless from needed. :P So if there is anything I am supposed to put, I am sorry. |

§-CS-§ Name? My name is Elizabeth Gainly. (Gainly is a word... So spell check if it is a word I can use it as a last name)
Age? I am seventeen.
Gender? I am a female.
Appearance? I am a slightly short and skinny girl with slightly pale skin. I never tan so my father used to compare me to a vampire. I have extremely long, curly, dark brown hair. I usually wear my hair in a braid. My eyes are a blue-green color. I usually wear a dark green-grey ¾ sleeved dress that my mother made for me before she died.
Personality? My sister often tells me I am extremely nice. My best friend wonders how I am not that bitter, especially with how my life has turned out. I believe that I am a somewhat positive person. I try to be a nice and friendly person, and I rarely bother to show my annoyance and anger. I am also extremely quiet. I am not shy; I just don’t feel like talking. It seems like many people ignore me whenever I try to say something. I believe that I am a hard worker; I hate giving up and may seem a tiny bit stubborn. I do have little self-confidence and can be easily upset or angered.
Any skills or talents? I don’t believe that I am a talented or skilled person. I am intelligent and a quick thinker but that is neither a talent nor a skill.
Any Weaknesses? I am not sure if I have a weakness. I guess you could consider my self-confidence issues as a weakness. I also am nearly useless when I am angered or upset but I am not sure if that is exactly a weakness.
Are you Empowered? If so what type?: I am not sure if I am an Empowered. I suspect that I am one though since I do have a few of the Demonic Empowered abilities. If I am Empowered then I am definitely a Demonic Empowered.
Home? I used to live in a small house near Domini’s Woods. When my father went off to war he sent my sister and I to live in Kieriam with his sister so Kieriam must be my current home.
Occupation? I do not have an official job. I often visit my friend who is one of the Kai. This could be considered a job since I have helped her family with small, non-priestly duties. I also help out the baker. I get paid for helping my friend’s family and the baker but I do not have an official job.
History? My life has been somewhat boring. Unlike most people in Tain my family was never extremely poor. We never had enough money or food but we weren’t as poor as most people. A few years ago my mother died, leaving my father to look after me and my younger sister. When my mother died my father changed. He didn’t change in a bad way, he seemed to relax more. I didn’t know why. He loved my mother and was sad when he died but he also seemed to be a bit happy that he had one less person to take care of and protect. I hated him for that but I could not blame him. It was hard for my father to take care of himself, his wife, and his 2 children. When my father was drafted into the army he sent me and my sister to live with my aunt. Life was somewhat busier and less normal in Kieriam. I was had to help my aunt with earning money and rarely had time to spend with my younger sister. Recently I have found out that my father has died.
Items? I do not have many items. My aunt forces me to carry around a small dagger, even though it makes me quite uncomfortable. I hate carrying weapons around since I am extremely clumsy and I am told I can turn anything into a weapon, which is not a good thing. That is the only thing I often have with me. All my other items are in the small bedroom that my aunt assigned me.
Anything else? There is nothing else I have to say.
(Yay someone else posted a cs. I was starting to think no one would join... Which would be seriously annoying. It took me days to create this....) (And accepted.) |

§-CS-§ Name? Serenity. Age? About 14, but no one really knows for sure. Gender? Again. no one really knows, but rumor has it that it's a girl. Appearance? Serenity always wears thin black robes with gleaming silveer weapons. Her hair is hidden under a hood but is also jet black. Her eyes are silver. Personality? Quiet and quick to run. Any skills or talents? Hiding and fighting with her long silver daggers. Any Weaknesses? Fear of heights and water. Are you Empowered? No one knows, but she probably is. (I forgot what the types are, but she is probably a demonic.) Home? Not exactly sure, but she is most seen around Kieriam. Occupation? No one knows if she works with or against the emporer. It's rumored she's one of the Messenger group. History? No one knows but if you meet her, she may tell you.... Items? Two long daggers, blowgun and darts, amulet beads and whole amulets. Anything else? (just tell me if I need to modify my §-CS-§)

Nightleap just... No. I can't accept that. First you make her like an assassin when a girl of around 14 would most likely not be like an assassin. A girl of around 14 would most likely not have that many weapons unless she was part of the draco and even then she probably would not unless she was a child of one of the leaders. You also gave her no actual weaknesses. She needs a fatal flaw, something that can not easily be overcome. No matter what her fear of water could be overcome. Her fear of heights could be overcome to. I also do not want the first 3 people to be empowered. the first 2 maybe? The first 3. That is not a good sign. I do not want young assassin like children running around the roleplay without a reason. I also asked for a bio, which you did not give. I said it was needed to. You also provided little detail, which is needed. I am sorry but I can not accept your cs. I am also sorry if none of this makes sense and such.... It is about 3:40 am and I am not exactly sure if my brain is working right now... And person who keeps telling and implying to me that this thread is not original. This thread does not need to be original. Originality is not needed, orginality does not make something good. This is a good thread. This story is also a story that wants to be told and has choosen me to start it (Yes... I consider stories and such to be living things. I do not believe that I create the story. The story and characters usually create themselves...) like I have said this is a good thread and does not need originality to make it good. Once again please ignore all my mistakes. It is extremely early and I haven't slept a wink for a long time. |

Originality DOES make it good.
if you mjake the same thing OVER and OVER, it becomes genuine and repetitive.
"Slay the king! Save the empire! Defeat this guild! Have magical powers!"
That is basically it. What do you do when you command the empire? Do you control it and turn it into a ruler RP? What do you do when you take power in the guilds? Demonic? Okay, so Angelelic Empowered, Death Impowered, Life Empowered, and so on should be commanded.

[No it doesn’t red and it shouldn’t be something that holds somebody back. This isn’t the writing industry, we don’t make RP threads for money, we make them for fun. Even so there are things that have been good that are very cliché. HP? Typical good vs evil with a chosen one and wise old mentor. What makes it different is the way the characters are shown and built. They basically make the book.
Anyway, you shouldn’t jump to assumptions. I have experienced and made seemingly cliché threads that have twisted after revealings something that obviously can’t be said in the original post. The emperor might have some twist to him. Do you know if he does? No.
Nice to see you move onto bigger and better threads Ranger. I would join if I didn’t dislike medieval settings.] |

| I agree with everything that giraffe said (I can't think... Suffering from lack of sleep....) This does have twists, secrets, plans. It is also a role-play in which you learn more as you go. I am currently planning what could happen, what should happen, and all that stuff. It will become more original. I was going to say something else but I just blanked out... Ugh I need to get to sleep.... |

Name? My name is Thom Talloris.
Ag.e? I say I'm about Twenty... Six Ye.ars Old since my birth?
Gender? I'm a Male.
Appearance? I say I that I seem to have Straight, Shoulder-Length Black Hair, although I doubt my birthrights will give an excuse to the messy and tangled state it is usually in. I say I was born with fair skin, yet days in the plains with my sheep have changed it Slightly Tan, no darker due to my Old, Ragged Cloak, Frayed and Torn at the ends. I would say it is the Color of Very Dark Green. I have unusual eyes, the color of Pale Gray. Much of my Lower Jaw is Obscured by a Fully Grown Beard, but I can tell I have a Slight Overbite. Bushy Eyebrows and a Sun-worn Face, full of Small Scars and Marks, Give me a Cold, Hard Expression when it is Idle.
Clothes? Ha. I'm sure the only clothes I have are the ones I am wearing. A Long, Over-sized, Plain Linen Shirt, Very Baggy and Worn. It Overflows Slightly Off my Knees when I Bend Down. My Shirt I accompany with Long, Black Breeches. They are Dirty, held to my waist with a Long, Flat Piece of Cord, possibly from a Cow. The only fine piece of apparel I have are a pair of Black Leather Boots, inherited from my Father. They are Aged, but still Sturdy and Well-Built. The Leather has been home for many Cracks and Splinter Near the Sole of the Boot. The Sole is consisted of a Low, Flat Heel, Weathered Away by Use. Around the Edges of the Sole are Wrought Iron Hobnails.
Personality? Very Upbeat and Happy, yet some say my face betrays some sort of weariness as the passing of time continues. My clam demeanor is apparent in dire times, yet some misinterpret it as ignorance of a situation.
Any skills or talents? I understand how to navigate and track in lowlands and hilly flatlands, due to my time as a sheperd. I also have experience with polearms, as I own a Sturdy Oaken Quarterstaff. This is both to act as a sheepherder's cane, and a weapon to fend off wolves and strays that get to close to my- sorry, my Emperor's-sheep.
Any Weaknesses? I cannot stand the sight of killing another person. People can also tell when I lie. Coming from a family of farmers and sheperds, I live an honest life.
Are you Empowered? If so what type?: No. I don't believe they exist, either. The only thing that stops me from openly repressing the Emperor is his influence in creating death all around him.
Home? I live on the outskirts of Feriost. I come once a month to the Seven Moons to drink some mead, if I am lucky, or chat with the locals about current events.
Occupation? Sheperd. My land has been possessed by the Emperor for livestock since he came into power.
History? As I have stated before, I descend from a local sheep and livestock family in Feriost. I hold deep roots there. Before the Emperor had forced his way into power, when Robert Tain and his family still ruled all of Tain, my family lived peacefully. Every year, in honor of our ruler and the land he had given us as property to build our small family farm, we sent him an annual quarter of our livestock of sheep and half our gains in wool product to his use. We were well off back then. It was all until the Emperor came into power that our farm had come to ill fate. Money became tight, and we began to have no money to maintenance and fix our land. All our work was now for the Emperor.
The farm lay in disrepair. Slowly but surely, our possessions were dwindling. First it was the stables, then our hay barn, then our chickens and the roost. Now, I own nothing but a small house, a stunted garden, and a formidable sheep pen. Even that now has become dilapidated, and old. The white-wash of the house walls peel and crack. It welcomes in the freezing draft in the winter, rain in the spring, and moldy creepers and vines in the summer. The sheep pen is nothing more than large stones gathered around in an odd circle, connected with a wooden fence gate. Every year, the Emperor's soldiers come to inspect my livestock and take my wool. They leave nothing of my sheep but a few pairs of males and females to reproduce. When drought or overstaying winters come, most of them die. Sometimes I had barely enough to scrape by. The little pay I receive for wool and sheep gets reduced if the soldiers come next year to less than fifty lambs. I feel the Emperor only lets me even live off of my family property- his property- due to the fact that I give product to him.
I used to have a wife named Ilyena. A nice girl from the village. She died of a bad flu just this ye.ar's past. The conditions of our house made it even worse. Only the royals get medicine for sickness. She lies buried in the far right corner of the sheep pen, where she used to treat a sheep named Ors. A stone slab, which I scrawled her name on, lies as homage to her soul.
Items? Nothing I own can hurt, with exceptions of my Quarterstaff and possibly a rusted hoe that lies somewhere on my farm.
Anything else? That's about all I can tell you about myself. |

| (Thanks. I'm actually pretty used to making an average person in a Role-play. I have no idea why.) |

Okay accepted. I am to impatient to wait for another person to join so we can start.... Ugh. No one else lives near or in Kieriam. (O.o I wonder if I spelled that right.... I can't really spell any of these strange names....) Oh well. There will be ways to work around that if no one else is near Kieriam.... |
