Lunar Origins Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 Hello YCM, time to have another go at making a ROLEPLAY!!! Dundundu- *shot* [img]http://i51.tinypic.com/25owc9t.png[/img] [spoiler=Information you will need to know before moving on] ~1: This takes place in a universe quite different than our own. Think of an endless sky- clouds extending as far as the eye could see. There is no earth, no terra firma. There is only the sky and its infinite plane. ~2: Now, you may be wondering... if there is no earth, how will our characters... you know, do anything? Well, there are 'islets'- large floating rocks that resemble a small ecosystem. Their size can range from 100 feet to 100 miles in diameter. The main hub for the roleplay is on a particular islet called 'Skir'- a particularly large islet that is around 57 miles in diameter. ~3: There are no 'special' races in this game, such as elves or dwarves. The creatures that this roleplay uses as the characters avatars are called 'Avien'. They are a race very similar to humans, but they have one feature that humans do not; wings, located on their back between the shoulder blades. Though they have these, they can not fly. ~4: The islet of Skir has developed a more kind, peaceful way of life as opposed to other islet nations inhabiting the sky-world. This is do to the Avien's isolation from the other islands. Because of this, the Avien are not particularly skilled at fighting. DO NOT FEAR, though! The Avien are quick to learn if a teacher is present. ~5: Last of all, the environment is going to pretty much be 'Steampunk'. If you do not know what that is, look it up. ~6: I will allow only 1 extra human to be part of the Lyla's crew at any given time. [/spoiler] [spoiler=The Plot] Each day, the people of Skir looked outwards towards the sky; it was a wondrous thing to them- always there, ever changing with the movement of its clouds. Everything seemed at balance in their own little bubble of paradise- each day seemed to flow into the next, one being as predictable as the next. All of this was changed, though, when a strange man arrived at their islet in a brass machine that could take to the skies. The mysterious stranger had revealed his name to be Alius- he resembled the Avien in every aspect, and he even spoke their language! There was one key difference, though; he lacked wings! Puzzled by this, the ruler of the Avien people had ordered him to present himself before the nation at whole and explain himself. He made his speech short and to the point. Alius was not an 'Avien'- he was a creature called a Human. He explained in detail of his voyages across the sky, meeting many different creatures as he sailed across the eternal plane in his strange Sky Ship - to which he fondly referred to as his 'Lyla'. He also told stories of an object that he had dedicated his life to searching for; this object, he stated, was called the Black Desire. It was a mask that had the power of the fabled god of the Sky sealed into it. Wearing it gave the holder power over the skies! He said that none of them could even begin to grasp the power of the mask. Most Avien brushed this particular story off as a tall tale- such a powerful object could simply not exist! After a few weeks of staying in the Avien's capitol city, Alius had finally decided to head off and search for the mask again. Before he left, however, he made a request to the leader of the Avien- he needed a crew to man the Lyla. The leader hesitated to grant permission for some of his people to board the Lyla, but after some convincing from Alius he had given in. Alius had then broadcast a message throughout the islet-city: "For those who seek beauty into the sky! For those adventurous types who seek to take to the clouds and gain riches beyond their wildest dreams! Join the crew of the Lyla! It will be an experience you will never forget." The message was followed by a quick explanation of how to get to the Lyla, who was 'docked' at the northernmost edge of the islet, right outside of the city. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Rules] Rule #0: [url="http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/196226-roleplay-forum-rules-both-ic-and-ooc/"]Before you do something stupid.[/url] Rule #1: Do NOT join this if you are going to be inactive.

Although there is nothing explosively special about his height, the other features of his body say otherwise. He has a nice tan complexion, being fairly darker than most other humans you would find. His hair is short, brown, and curly, and he has a very thin goatee. He is very thin and lanky, but despite this he is actually very strong due to having to work to fulfill the many needs of the Lyla. His usual attire consists of a brown trench coat, a white ruffled undershirt, very fine black slacks, and a pair of wire frame spectacles. [b]Personality: [/b]Most people would say that Alius is over-the-top and flamboyant without being too rude. Others would say that he has the attitude of an angry bear. Some would say that, all in all, this depends on whether you make a good first impression on him. In actuality, though, Alius is kind and accepting with a happy-go-lucky mindset. He also tries to be a gentlemanly as possible, and he is a staunch defender of all women. He may come off as a tad disrespectful to some, but that is just him trying to break the ice. [b]History: [/b]Captain Alius Skie is considered to be a genius among his people- he invented the very first Sky Ship, the Lyla. He refuses to tell anyone about the origin of the name, though. When he was a young boy he looked at the skies in amazement, wondering if there was anything else out there. His parents encouraged his adventurous attitude, telling him tall tales of glorious lands out in the great blue. At the age of seven he had told his parents that he would one day build a machine to ferry everybody across it; his parents had laughed at the thought of such a machine but nevertheless urged him to build it, interested in what his son would come up with. In school Alius was no slack. He excelled in mathematics and all of the sciences, earning various scholarships as he breezed through the grades. He still held on to his old dream of creating a great flying machine when he graduated from High School at the age of 18. He spent the next four years of his life drawing up blueprints of said machine. At the age of 22 he had completed the final blueprint for the machine; it would use hot air trapped in a large cloth dome to lift itself off the ground and into the sky. He spent the next four years building the Lyla, and had finished it on his 26th birthday. It was a very homely ship, comfortable in every way shape and form. By this time all of his family had already deceased and he was the very last of his bloodline. He told his people that he would set out into the great blue to find any signs of other humans. After saying this, he invited some of his closest friends to join him on his journey into the sky. After 2 weeks of setting off into the great blue, the crew had grown weary of the journey. Every so often they had passed by a large islet, but there were no signs of living things on them. It was not until one of the crew had screamed that he saw a person on a very large islet they were passing by. Alius landed the ship and talked to the people there. Surprisingly, he found that they spoke a common language! They told him of their people and of legends of a mask that could grant the wearer any one wish. They had even produced a map of the sky showing which direction the mask could be found in! They had given him the map and a large supply of food, and then he left them, this time not searching for a new type of people, but now searching for the mask. [b]Added Information: [/b]He takes a liking to chess, and he has several chess boards on his ship. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Total Obelisk] [b]Player Username:[/b] TotalObelisk [b]Character Name:[/b] Tari Ovisk [b]Age:[/b] 24 [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b]Appearance:[/b] Tari is roughly average height with a thin but slightly muscular build. She has short purple hair, often tied back with a white headband with hangs down as far as her lower back and red eyes. Her typical attire consists of a black jumpsuit complete with a pair of black, fingerless gloves, a pair of blue and silver combat boots and a white, hooded long-coat which opens up at the back for her wings. Both her wings are pure white with purple speckles dotted over them, she is able to change her feather’s pigment to black at will for short periods of time. her wingspan is about 10 ft. [b]Personality:[/b] Tari inhabits a morally grey area, doing what she feels like without considering the long term consequences for other people. Whether she's being cruel or kind Tari is usually in it for herself and has little consideration for others. However that's not to say she won't make friends with others, if people treat her with respect then she will treat them the same and even if there's something in it for her she won't help those who disrespects her. Tari always prefers the stealthy or subtle approach, avoiding head on battles unless absolutely necessary. [b]History:[/b] Tari was abandoned by her parents at birth and spent the first few years of her life in an orphanage believing that her parents where dead, upon discovering the truth however Tari became extremely resentful towards her parents and judgemental of everybody else. She was eventually adopted by a doctor who intended to try and give her a better outlook on life by raising her himself, however his efforts proved unsuccessful and Tari remained distant from him throughout the rest of her childhood. When she entered her teens Tari began training as an assassin in secret, unbeknownst to her adoptive father, and began developed her skills at sneaking, breaking and entering and (of course) killing people swiftly and silently. After her training finished she left her adoptive father’s house and began living on her own, moving from one house to the other and never staying anywhere for too long. She quickly grew sick and tired of her home city and desired more than ever a way to leave. [b]Added Information:[/b] Tari is an expert at sneaking, breaking and entering and long-distance assassinations; she favours a specially crafted silenced revolver but also carries a dagger in case of emergencies.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Kakashi Hatake] [b]Player Username:[/b] [i]Kakashi Hatake[/i] [b]Character Name:[/b] [i]Kokuto [/i](Ko - koo - toe) [b]Age:[/b] 27 [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Appearance:[/b] Kokuto is a tall man, at 6'1", but is not "large" in the aspect. He has a straight, muscular, build and an ash-grey skin tone with pale green eyes. Kokuto has ash-white hair as long as reaching the top of his shoulder blades. With his rather serious looking face, people usually take him as "scary" or un-friendly but he is very kind and proposed. He wears a grey scarf and dark-grey bandages around the left and top side of his face covering a scar. He wears an ashy grey long-sleeved shirt tucked into baggy white lined pants and average straw sandals with japanese white socks. He also wears large dirty white gloves. His wings are covered in grey ash-like patterns. [b]Personality: [/b]Despite what you might think, Kokuto is a calm, kind, and collected person. He considers the feelings and welfare of others before his own and would gladly take a hit for the ones he cares for. He likes arguing just about as much as anyone else does and often tries to avoid violent confrontation, but don't think he's a pushover. He's got the strongest left-hook you'll ever have the displeasure of feeling. [b]History:[/b] As a child, Kokuto lived with his father and sister. His father worked as a blacksmith and was great at what he did. His sister, who was few years older than Kokuto, worked as a gardner. It was simple work but honest. Every day, Kokuto would travel through the area, doing odd and end jobs for people for a little extra cash to help support his small family. One day, one of his jobs brought him to his father's work-stead. As Kokuto was pushing the logs back and forth to their respectful places, he accidentally knocked over steaming bucket of molting steel. As his father pushed him out of the way, he was gravely burned and was bed-ridden for the remainder of his life, leaving only Kokuto and his sister. Kokuto grew up as a respectable man, working hard and earning what he needed. By then, he had started wearing the bandages around a part of his face to cover the scar from that day. He covered it because he believed that he had "murdered" his father and was ashamed to show the scar on his face. As punishment to himself, he worked the most difficult jobs he could find and worked himself into a heatstroke several times. Kokuto worked as many things. Contractor, bronze-worker, anything he could find that paid well enough. Because of this, Kokuto has several rather large scars on his torso. Each day of work wore Kokuto down and many thought he was going to work himself to death. Later, Kokuto was speaking with his sister, who had been married to a rather wealthy man for the last few years, as they both heard the message that was broadcast across the city. It didn't take Kokuto's sister long to jump at the opportunity to convince Kokuto to stop working so hard and join in the "adventure". It took quite a bit to convince Kokuto to leave, but sure enough, he was going to do it. He wouldn't let on, but he had been looking for an opportunity to get away from that place for some time. Too many... bad memories. [b]Added Information (optional):[/b] Kokuto carries around spare bandages in his deep pockets. He changes his face bandages every few days or so before he sleeps. That is the only time he removes them. Also, Kokuto has a natural gift for "copying" things. If he sees someone do something, like play a guitar, he can pick up the skill very very quickly. [/spoiler] [spoiler=AggroDrago]Player Username: Scorn Character Name: Emrys Luce (Em-riss Loose) Age: 29 Gender: Male Appearance: Emrys has dark brown hair that looks black in most natural light and hangs low over clear and simple blue eyes that seem to grow in complexity the longer you look into them. He usually wears a thin black jacket and is always seen carrying a brown leather bag that he carries everything he needs in. When he’s outside he usually wears a black flat hat that pats down his hair enough to shield his eyes, a look he rather enjoys. He’s known to wear leather goggles when he deems it necessary for his work. He stands at an average (in his eyes) height of 6'2". Personality: Emrys does not like being at the forefront of any situation. He usually only speaks when he wants to call someone out on something, or if he believes it would be beneficial to assist them. He's not the best team player, acting as an observer in most situations instead of an active participant. Calculating would be the best way to describe it. Emrys is logical, beyond all else. If something doesn’t make sense, the first thing he does is analyze it. He doesn’t like to jump into a situation that he doesn’t understand well enough, and holds back until he believes he understands it enough to handle it. His biggest flaw may be that he over-examines everything, especially speech and human interactions. Which can cause problems when his other habit of questioning everything brings to the surface things which others may want to keep hidden. He may act callous at times, caring more about being straight forward and truthful than actually caring how others feel about it. History: Emrys’s Mother died in childbirth, and his father, a very well respected politician on the island, always paid more attention to his work than to his son. He’s very well educated, as his father was smart enough to pay his son’s way through schooling. Without his parents to nudge him along, he’s never been that outgoing, spending more time trying to learn what he can about the world and the people involved than meeting them. Even saying that, though, most people he knows would not describe him as ‘anti-social,’ more like ‘focused’. After graduating, he began working as an archeologist and historian, exploring the outer areas of the island and gathering whatever information and artifacts he could for the institutions that studies the history of their ‘world’. Whatever time he did not spend on government paid excursions, or his own self-righteous escapades, was spent sifting through books in the national library. When Alius shows up and begins asking Avien’s to join his adventurers, Emrys was exceedingly curious. Though he couldn’t help being a bit excited by the idea, he did not trust Alius, but when Emrys finds hints of what Alius speaks of in the books in the library he's at most of the time, he decides that it might be in his best interests to join the adventure. Added Information (optional): He’s very good at getting from point A to point B, and as an excellent analyst he tends to notice things others do not, though many times he may keep those observations to himself. He's studied much in ways of history, geology, and astronomy, so he's a reliable source of information when cross-checking any directions the group is given. His constant need to learn has helped him pick up some other random tricks that he'll pull out of his hat when needed. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Blu] [b]Player Username:[/b] .:Blu:. [b]Character Name:[/b] Shiki (She - key) [b]Age:[/b] 22 [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Appearance:[/b] Shiki is a young man standing at a height of 180 cm (5'11") and has a weight of 60 kg (132 lbs). Shiki has light skin and is of a fair physique. Shiki has spiky puce-colored hair with each half of his bangs leaning towards their respective sides. Shiki has black-colored eyes. Attire-wise, Shiki's most prominent feature is his red, unzipped long-sleeved jacket that also has a hood on the collar of the jacket. The jacket also has large pouches near the bottom of the jack and four straps lining down the right sleeve. On the jacket's left sleeve are two brown belt straps wrapped around and on the shoulder area is a brown gear-like shoulder guard with various small pipes coming off of it. Shiki also dresses in a white t-shirt, large, baggy light orange trousers, finger-less brown gloves, a brown buckle belt, light brown goggles worn on the top of his head, and light brown boots. Other features of his attire are a white scarf wrapped around his neck, a silver chain attached to his belt as well as a rope, and a large pouch at his waist. [b]Personality:[/b] Shiki is usually seen as a confident and happy guy. However, he harbors a pain deep down inside that he rarely wants to reveal to others. He rather let them see the happy side of himself so that he can carry that burden around himself. Shiki has a knack and love for inventing and working with machinery. He has even build many miniature working sky ships. Shiki is usually pretty upfront about things and doesn't like to dance around tough situations, rather taking them head on (literally at times). Though he doesn't often uses his fists to solve problems, there are some situations that Shiki can only get the point across by using his fists. When it comes to fighting, Shiki can get rather reckless. Shiki sometimes doubt himself to the point where he gets angry at others and blames himself for everyone's misfortunes, though these times are rare. And during these times, even his usual confidence seem to just disappear. Shiki looks up to Alius being a member of his crew, and Shiki is also loyal and protective of any of his friends. [b]History:[/b] Shiki was born to a humble mechanic and his sick wife. As a child, Shiki has always been fascinated by machines and the vast sky. He loves the notion of being able to travel the vast sky and having adventures, though that seemed impossible at the time. He even told his dad that one day he wish to be able to travel the sky. To his dad, of course that dream is just a dream, but he couldn't tell his own son that so Shiki's dad continued to tell him to dream on and one day make that dream a reality. Ever since then, Shiki has always been dreaming about what's above the sky. During those nights where Shiki would work on machines, he would often look toward the vast sky and wonder just what is hidden above and within the clouds. When Shiki became 14, he heard rumors that the very first sky ship, a machine that will be able to carry people across the vast sky, is in the process of being created. Shiki sought to be a crew member of the man who invented the sky ship and so dedicated two years of his life working on his machinery skills. One day, when Shiki was coming home from working late as a mechanic, he noticed the door of his family's house opened. Walking toward the door, Shiki could hear screaming coming from the inside and as he ran in, he saw his parents being assaulted by a couple of masked assailants. Shiki knew he had to do something but he felt terrified. He then quickly ran off, not even attempting to help his parents. As Shiki ran, he began crying profusely. "Why am I running?!" was what Shiki thought to himself but he couldn't stop himself from running. Soon, the assailants were captured and Shiki identified the bloodied bodies of his parents. He would now forever carry that image and that cowardice with him for the rest of his life. He began sinking into a horrible state of depression, keeping himself occupied on machinery. Later on, as Shiki gradually healed, he met Alius, who has perfected his sky ship, and were looking for people to join his crew in order to travel the vast sky. During that time, people were still skeptical of the idea that there is anything in the sky, but Shiki couldn't afford to miss this opportunity, and so that is where Shiki's journey onboard Lyla began. [spoiler=Added Information:]• Shiki's name in Japanese (四季) means "Four Seasons" • Shiki enjoys spicy, hot foods rather than tame, cold foods • Shiki's favorite tool is the wrench • Shiki is a rather good fighter but a rather poor thinker, however, he's a genius when it comes to machinery • Shiki is a human • Shiki is quite confused by the fact that Aviens can't use their wings to fly • Shiki's theme song as chosen by me is Ketsui no Asa ni (In the Morning of Decision) by Aqua Timez: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCetDceSU2I&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.c...feature=related[/url][/spoiler][/spoiler] [spoiler=Raine] Player Username: Raine Character Name: Cecil Seraphim Age: 27 Gender: Male Appearance: Cecil is a very handsome looking individual, an asset in his profession.

His right hand is always gloved, he has never revealed the reason nor his hand underneath it. Personality: Cecil is laid back, and logical. He plays people like pieces however does not prevent himself from becoming attached. His awkward and forward behavior may seem strange but his charisma over comes that. Only his up-beat and sadistic attitude match the odd social habits, he'll worry about you like an over-protective mother then threaten to tear off your arm by slicing up each layer of skin one by one. In heart, he is well meaning. His limited circle of friends are very important to him, but is ruthless to those outside that circle.

radio414 Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 [spoiler=Moira Lakeridge] Player Username: radio414 Character Name: Moira Lakeridge Age: 24 Gender: Female [spoiler=Appearance:] Trying to look at Moira from top to bottom would most likely require a slight tilting of the head downwards, as she is only five feet and three inches (1.6 meters) tall. Once you get past that minor use of your spinal motor functions, you notice her amber hair, cut messily at the shoulders as if she tried to do it herself. Further down, past the forehead are her light brown eyes, tinted with hazel, shaped in a way that on Earth would hint multiple ethnicities. Continuing on downwards past Moira's slightly crooked teeth, the base of her neck is where the collar to her plain white clothes is located, both the shirt and pants easily recognizable as used, either from a family member or received as some kind of donation. Slightly below the collar are her wings, looking not unlike everyone else's. Continuing down her lithe body, there is little else to notice. (If you prefer, you could lift up this 105 pound (47.6 kg) body to more closely inspect it, but, being a grown woman, she would probably not appreciate it.) The only remaining noticeable thing about Moira is her shoes, and the only noticeable thing about these plain white shoes is that they look like they were acquired specifically for her, something she probably treats with pride. [/spoiler] [spoiler=History:] Moira was adopted at birth to a doctor, and quickly became interested in her father's trade. It wasn't until she began observing her father at work that she became truly committed, however. Before, she was just an adventurous child, the only thing out of the ordinary was that she played doctor more often than most children her age might have. But on that fateful day, she spied her father discussing something with a patient, and her life immediately changed. It was as if a whole new world had opened up to her. Herbs, and how to apply them. Diseases, and how to treat them. All of this knowledge of the natural world. And it could be hers. Her father quickly noticed this, and began mentoring her on his profession, trying to fuel her inquisitiveness. Eventually, when she became of age, she officially apprenticed with her father, now legally able to help treat her father's patients, or at least not have to look through a keyhole to observe his proceedings with his patients (an act of which she has been caught multiple times). When she heard about the Lyla, she remembered her adventurous personality as a child, and applied for an extension of her apprenticeship so she could join the crew. When her father refused, she obeyed his wishes for a small time, before, in a fit of rage after a petty argument, she left for the Lyla and has yet to return. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Personality:] Moira is an intrapersonal character, prefering to keep her studies to herself. The only reason she joined the crew of the Lyla is she wanted to get away from her father. She prefers her privacy, only opening up when she's examining someone and she needs to keep them calm. In regards to other crewmembers, Moira could be seen as determined, but only in regards to her practice. She doesn't seem to care about the ship's ultimate goal yet, and isolates herself from the rest of the crew. Eating alone, often not responding to others salutations, etc. It's as if she doesn't care [/spoiler] Additional Information: If you are going to call Moira with a title fixed at the front of her name, call her a "Herbalist." She's in a phase where she associates the title "Doctor" with her father, someone she still resents. [/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.:Blu:. Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 [b]Player Username:[/b] .:Blu:. [b]Character Name:[/b] Shiki (She - key) [b]Age:[/b] 22 [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Appearance:[/b] Shiki is a young man standing at a height of 180 cm (5'11") and has a weight of 60 kg (132 lbs). Shiki has light skin and is of a fair physique. Shiki has spiky puce-colored hair with each half of his bangs leaning towards their respective sides. Shiki has black-colored eyes. Attire-wise, Shiki's most prominent feature is his red, unzipped long-sleeved jacket that also has a hood on the collar of the jacket. The jacket also has large pouches near the bottom of the jack and four straps lining down the right sleeve. On the jacket's left sleeve are two brown belt straps wrapped around and on the shoulder area is a brown gear-like shoulder guard with various small pipes coming off of it. Shiki also dresses in a white t-shirt, large, baggy light orange trousers, finger-less brown gloves, a brown buckle belt, light brown goggles worn on the top of his head, and light brown boots. Other features of his attire are a white scarf wrapped around his neck, a silver chain attached to his belt as well as a rope, and a large pouch at his waist. [b]Personality:[/b] Shiki is usually seen as a confident and happy guy. However, he harbors a pain deep down inside that he rarely wants to reveal to others. He rather let them see the happy side of himself so that he can carry that burden around himself. Shiki has a knack and love for inventing and working with machinery. He has even build many miniature working sky ships. Shiki is usually pretty upfront about things and doesn't like to dance around tough situations, rather taking them head on (literally at times). Though he doesn't often uses his fists to solve problems, there are some situations that Shiki can only get the point across by using his fists. When it comes to fighting, Shiki can get rather reckless. Shiki sometimes doubt himself to the point where he gets angry at others and blames himself for everyone's misfortunes, though these times are rare. And during these times, even his usual confidence seem to just disappear. Shiki looks up to Alius being a member of his crew, and Shiki is also loyal and protective of any of his friends. [b]History:[/b] Shiki was born to a humble mechanic and his sick wife. As a child, Shiki has always been fascinated by machines and the vast sky. He loves the notion of being able to travel the vast sky and having adventures, though that seemed impossible at the time. He even told his dad that one day he wish to be able to travel the sky. To his dad, of course that dream is just a dream, but he couldn't tell his own son that so Shiki's dad continued to tell him to dream on and one day make that dream a reality. Ever since then, Shiki has always been dreaming about what's above the sky. During those nights where Shiki would work on machines, he would often look toward the vast sky and wonder just what is hidden above and within the clouds. When Shiki became 14, he heard rumors that the very first sky ship, a machine that will be able to carry people across the vast sky, is in the process of being created. Shiki sought to be a crew member of the man who invented the sky ship and so dedicated two years of his life working on his machinery skills. One day, when Shiki was coming home from working late as a mechanic, he noticed the door of his family's house opened. Walking toward the door, Shiki could hear screaming coming from the inside and as he ran in, he saw his parents being assaulted by a couple of masked assailants. Shiki knew he had to do something but he felt terrified. He then quickly ran off, not even attempting to help his parents. As Shiki ran, he began crying profusely. "Why am I running?!" was what Shiki thought to himself but he couldn't stop himself from running. Soon, the assailants were captured and Shiki identified the bloodied bodies of his parents. He would now forever carry that image and that cowardice with him for the rest of his life. He began sinking into a horrible state of depression, keeping himself occupied on machinery. Later on, as Shiki gradually healed, he met Alius, who has perfected his sky ship, and were looking for people to join his crew in order to travel the vast sky. During that time, people were still skeptical of the idea that there is anything in the sky, but Shiki couldn't afford to miss this opportunity, and so that is where Shiki's journey onboard Lyla began. [spoiler=Added Information:]• Shiki's name in Japanese (四季) means "Four Seasons" • Shiki enjoys spicy, hot foods rather than tame, cold foods • Shiki's favorite tool is the wrench • Shiki is a rather good fighter but a rather poor thinker, however, he's a genius when it comes to machinery • Shiki is a human • Shiki is quite confused by the fact that Aviens can't use their wings to fly • Shiki's theme song as chosen by me is Ketsui no Asa ni (In the Morning of Decision) by Aqua Timez: [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCetDceSU2I&feature=related]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCetDceSU2I&feature=related[/url][/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunar Origins Posted September 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 Hmm. Blu, keep in mind that Sky Ships would not have been invented until Shiki was 16 and they would not have been perfected until he was 18 which was also the age that Alius had left to go out into the big blue (Alius would have been 28). I believe that that's [i]mostly[/i] my fault for not having the application for Alius up yet XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunar Origins Posted September 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 [quote name='.:Blu:.' timestamp='1315765235' post='5507541'] No problem, I'll rework my history then, I'm just glad you let me apply for that position [/quote] No problem [quote name='AggroDrago' timestamp='1315720938' post='5506631'] *sigh* first time here in RP [spoiler='App'] Player Username: Scorn Character Name: Emrys Luce (Em-riss Loose) Age: 29 Gender: Male Appearance: Emrys has dark brown hair that looks black in most natural light and hangs low over clear and simple blue eyes that seem to grow in complexity the longer you look into them. He usually wears a thin black jacket and is always seen carrying a brown leather bag that he carries everything he needs in. When he’s outside he usually wears a black flat hat that pats down his hair enough to shield his eyes, a look he rather enjoys. He’s known to wear leather goggles when he deems it necessary for his work. He stands at an average (in his eyes) height of 6'2". Personality: Emrys does not like being at the forefront of any situation. He usually only speaks when he wants to call someone out on something, or if he believes it would be beneficial to assist them. He's not the best team player, acting as an observer in most situations instead of an active participant. Calculating would be the best way to describe it. Emrys is logical, beyond all else. If something doesn’t make sense, the first thing he does is analyze it. He doesn’t like to jump into a situation that he doesn’t understand well enough, and holds back until he believes he understands it enough to handle it. His biggest flaw may be that he over-examines everything, especially speech and human interactions. Which can cause problems when his other habit of questioning everything brings to the surface things which others may want to keep hidden. He may act callous at times, caring more about being straight forward and truthful than actually caring how others feel about it. History: Emrys’s Mother died in childbirth, and his father, a very well respected politician on the island, always paid more attention to his work than to his son. He’s very well educated, as his father was smart enough to pay his son’s way through schooling. Without his parents to nudge him along, he’s never been that outgoing, spending more time trying to learn what he can about the world and the people involved than meeting them. Even saying that, though, most people he knows would not describe him as ‘anti-social,’ more like ‘focused’. After graduating, he began working as an archeologist and historian, exploring the outer areas of the island and gathering whatever information and artifacts he could for the institutions that studies the history of their ‘world’. Whatever time he did not spend on government paid excursions, or his own self-righteous escapades, was spent sifting through books in the national library. When Alius shows up and begins asking Avien’s to join his adventurers, Emrys was exceedingly curious. Though he couldn’t help being a bit excited by the idea, he did not trust Alius, but when Emrys finds hints of what Alius speaks of in the books in the library he's at most of the time, he decides that it might be in his best interests to join the adventure. Added Information (optional): He’s very good at getting from point A to point B, and as an excellent analyst he tends to notice things others do not, though many times he may keep those observations to himself. He's studied much in ways of history, geology, and astronomy, so he's a reliable source of information when cross-checking any directions the group is given. His constant need to learn has helped him pick up some other random tricks that he'll pull out of his hat when needed. [/spoiler] [/quote] I'll accept you if you know for a fact that you are up to actively posting in this roleplay. [quote name='Kakashi Hatake' timestamp='1315719395' post='5506598'] [spoiler=Your app is in here.] [b]Player Username:[/b] [i]Kakashi Hatake[/i] [b]Character Name:[/b] [i]Kokuto [/i](Ko - koo - toe) [b]Age:[/b] 27 [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Appearance:[/b] Kokuto is a tall man, at 6'9", but is not "large" in the aspect. He has a straight, muscular, build and an ash-grey skin tone with pale green eyes. Kokuto has ash-white hair as long as reaching the top of his shoulder blades. With his rather serious looking face, people usually take him as "scary" or un-friendly but he is very kind and proposed. He wears a grey scarf and dark-grey bandages around the left and top side of his face covering a scar. He wears an ashy grey long-sleeved shirt tucked into baggy white lined pants and average straw sandals with japanese white socks. He also wears large dirty white gloves. His wings are covered in grey ash-like patterns. [b]Personality: [/b]Despite what you might think, Kokuto is a calm, kind, and collected person. He considers the feelings and welfare of others before his own and would gladly take a hit for the ones he cares for. He likes arguing just about as much as anyone else does and often tries to avoid violent confrontation, but don't think he's a pushover. He's got the strongest left-hook you'll ever have the displeasure of feeling. [b]History:[/b] As a child, Kokuto lived with his father and sister. His father worked as a blacksmith and was great at what he did. His sister, who was few years older than Kokuto, worked as a gardner. It was simple work but honest. Every day, Kokuto would travel through the area, doing odd and end jobs for people for a little extra cash to help support his small family. One day, one of his jobs brought him to his father's work-stead. As Kokuto was pushing the logs back and forth to their respectful places, he accidentally knocked over steaming bucket of molting steel. As his father pushed him out of the way, he was gravely burned and was bed-ridden for the remainder of his life, leaving only Kokuto and his sister. Kokuto grew up as a respectable man, working hard and earning what he needed. By then, he had started wearing the bandages around a part of his face to cover the scar from that day. He covered it because he believed that he had "murdered" his father and was ashamed to show the scar on his face. As punishment to himself, he worked the most difficult jobs he could find and worked himself into a heatstroke several times. Kokuto worked as many things. Contractor, bronze-worker, anything he could find that paid well enough. Because of this, Kokuto has several rather large scars on his torso. Each day of work wore Kokuto down and many thought he was going to work himself to death. Later, Kokuto was speaking with his sister, who had been married to a rather wealthy man for the last few years, as they both heard the message that was broadcast across the city. It didn't take Kokuto's sister long to jump at the opportunity to convince Kokuto to stop working so hard and join in the "adventure". It took quite a bit to convince Kokuto to leave, but sure enough, he was going to do it. He wouldn't let on, but he had been looking for an opportunity to get away from that place for some time. Too many... bad memories. [b]Added Information (optional):[/b] Kokuto carries around spare bandages in his deep pockets. He changes his face bandages every few days or so before he sleeps. That is the only time he removes them. Also, Kokuto has a natural gift for "copying" things. If he sees someone do something, like play a guitar, he can pick up the skill very very quickly.
