(If this thread is a success I'll consider making it into a series.)
A poet's words is a strong one, especially when the poet is well known. This could go from celebrity status, infamousity, or just simply.. popular. Though in a world named Yret, one poet's words take a toll of a intertwining secret world hidden right under the peoples' feet. This man was later classified in his life as mentally insane, his friends and family looking down upon him with pity with such a great mind supposively gone to waste. His name was Giree Vrre.
As time took it's toll, Vrre's words started to take form as a stranger story. Most of his pieces had almost a touch of a philsopher in him, with deep thoughts of the meaning of life. As he started to get older, the previously mentioned unique land started to appear in his poems. At first, people had taken it has possibly just a simply that that popped into Vrre's mind, one that would be short lived. But by the time he was fourty-nine, outliving his life, his work was entirely focused on the land. It spoke of wonderful and complex cave systems, most of the walls riddled with a glowing blue gem. Ontop of that multiple times it described a few creatures, more then a few sounding humanoid.
Now thirteen years after Giree Vrre's death the entrance to a guessed large cave has been found deep in a thickly grown forest. At the entrance is the blue gems that were described in Giree's poems along with the rather long cave system. With the locals in a state of awe, the only reasonable action was to asemble a exploration team.
This is where your story starts..
----
Rules: 1. Keep it realistic. 2. Minimum of four maximum of nine. 3. There is a possibility that you will get killed. 4. Don't overload on weapons/supplies, light magic will be acceptable. 5. Admins can accept and delince CS's and ban with my go. 6. I will be the GM, NPCs, and possibly have my own character. Still considering the last part. 7.Wait for my result if you set forth an action. Example: 'Looking down into the seemingly endless crevice, the other end seemed a mile away. Backing up slightly, I gave a running start and attempted to jump over it.' 8. No god-modding, Mary Stus, trollage, all that good (err.. bad) stuff.

-Application- "You wish to go into the unknown? Well, starting off I'll need your name."
"Excellent.. a.ge?" (No less then 19.)
"Please, step out of the shadows so I can get a look at you." (Gender, physical appearance (This includes race, it's only normal fantasy races (Elf, Orc, Human)), and clothing.)
"Excellent.. may I ask what your like?" (Personality)
"Some things that you come naturally with and others that you have troubles with?" (Pros and cons (Includes magic if you have any))
"Weaponry and supplies you desire to bring with you?" (You will automatically have a medium sized backpack, harness, and cable.)
"Well then, can you tell me a little bit about yourself then we can be off!" (Biography)
As you finish telling him about yourself he simply nods, seeming to think that you'd be fit to the job. Loading onto the wagon you set off towards the cave.
(You will start in a wagon heading towards the cavern, one availabe seat in the front and eight in the back. I guess I'll make it where the order of the CS determines who you are by. (First and second would be facing each other, third and forth would, ext. ext.))

[ I've been pronouncing it ' Wer '. Like ' Err '. Is this correct?
If so, it should have been named Vrre's Words. Don't only does it sound catchy, but it is a refferance to what you had just written. ]
[ You think about changing the title. ] |

(Liked the idea since I started working on it a few months ago, stopped, then finished it today. Too late now anyways.
Pronouncing what 'Wer' and 'Err'?) |

(... it's a questionnaire. MEH.) "You wish to go into the unknown? Well, starting off I'll need your name." Cassius Fears
"Excellent.. a.ge?" (No less then 19.) Thirty-seven.
"Please, step out of the shadows so I can get a look at you." (Gender, physical appearance (This includes race, it's only normal fantasy races (Elf, Orc, Human)), and clothing.) Male; your casual human, with a scar on his left eye and one of his right jaw. His left eye appears to be fog trapped in an eye. He wears a green robe and leather shoes.
"Excellent.. may I ask what your like?" (Personality) Intelligent, technical. Kind but ruthless.
"Some things that you come naturally with and others that you have troubles with?" (Pros and cons (Includes magic if you have any)) Intelligent, agile, ice magic, somewhat weak physically.
"Weaponry and supplies you desire to bring with you?" (You will automatically have a medium sized backpack, harness, and cable.) Food, wooden staff.
"Well then, can you tell me a little bit about yourself then we can be off!" (Biography) I lived a normal life until sixteen, when I ran away and became an adventuring hermit... I feel like telling no more, other than I liked Vrre's poetry, and am intrigued by this quest. |

You wish to go into the unknown? Well, starting off I'll need your name."
"I'm Annabelle Kotiva."
"Excellent.. a.ge?" (No less then 19.)
"I'm 26, but I don't see how that matters. This is an expedition correct?"
"Please, step out of the shadows so I can get a look at you." (Gender, physical appearance (This includes race, it's only normal fantasy races (Elf, Orc, Human)), and clothing.)
Annabelle steps out of the shadows, revealing a rather scrawny figure, and showing her height to be 5'8". She has black hair, that is currently pulled back in a ponytail, showing off her pointed ears. Her eyes are a light green, and usually have a kind, yet devious look to them.
She wears simple leather pants, that are scuffed, stained, and torn from use, and has thick leather boots. Her shirt is a simple cloth tee, and she has a torn leather hunting jacket. Around her neck she wears a family heirloom, a simple necklace with a silver chain, and a light green gem hanging from it, she was told it had magical powers.
"Excellent.. may I ask what your like?" (Personality)
"Typically that's something you find out. Not what you are told." She says, "But, if you must know, people say I have a rather in your face personality, and am known to get into your personal space. Besides that though, I can also be very harsh, but kind if you get to know me. Oh, and I absolutely hate people who think their better then everyone else."
"Some things that you come naturally with and others that you have troubles with?" (Pros and cons (Includes magic if you have any))
"I'm decently good at fixing people up, medical work shall you say, and that I've got good eyesight, which makes me an excellent marksman. I tend to get distracted though, letting emotions and movement mess with my focus."
"Weaponry and supplies you desire to bring with you?" (You will automatically have a medium sized backpack, harness, and cable.)
"I currently have a longbow, with about 8 arrows, but I'm hoping you have more I can use, and a medkit. I also have a thin blanket, food, and a waterskin."
"Well then, can you tell me a little bit about yourself then we can be off!" (Biography)
"I grew up in a nearby town, spended most of my time in the forest with the few friends I made that liked me, and many of us are still friends now. We all had an interest in archery, and learned how to make bows out of sticks and vines. They never worked well, but for the birthday that year, my father got me a real one, this same one I have here, and told me to keep it safe.
My father, he died that same year, only a couple weeks after he had gotten me this bow, overcome by plague, the year it swept through the town. The day I found out, I promised his soul to make something of myself, to do something good for the world." She falls silent then, lost in her memories.
As you finish telling him about yourself he simply nods, seeming to think that you'd be fit to the job. Loading onto the wagon you set off towards the cave.
