First of all, only join if you plan on finishing this thing.

Second, The game will start out with all of the characters starting out on the same small Island. Everyone starts out as if it were a normal day, when suddenly the Island is taken over, and then it just kind of goes from there.

Making Characters: I'm going to wait for 2 other people to join before I actually begin the game. Pretty much the same as a regular RPG. You start out with basic stats:
Strength 1-10
Speed 1-10
Agility 1-10
Social 1-10
Senses 1-10
The total stats you can start with are 25. Then, give a short description of your character.

Hmm, well i'll join. Just informing you, now i'll get working out a character.

[EDIT] Well, here you are.

I used these stats, because then it's perfectly rounded. Just an avarage person...
I just hope i can get better as i go along :D

name: Nessun Xanatherl

I chose the name becuase the band manowar's version of "Nessun Dorma" was on at the time, so i chose Nessun as a first name. I then looked at elf names on the internet and chose Xanatherl as the last name.

Strength 5
Speed 5
Agility 5
Social 5
Senses 5

Nessun is just a normal elf, in a village. He has long blonde hair, which he ties back in a pony tail. He wishes to take the life style of a ranger, but has not yet had a chance to take up this path. He wears brown trousers and usually a brown or green sleeveless top.

Character Name: Blunderbuss

Race: Halfling

Class: Rogue/Thief

Attributes:
Strength 3
Speed 7
Agility 6
Social 2
Senses 7
/25

Blunderbuss is an infamous rogue amongst the islands inhabitants. Though this gains him respect amongst fellow thieves, it has the opposite affect on most other people. His black, hooded cloak, almost always wrapped round his nimble figure, hides his facial features behind shadow. When the hood is removed, it reveals long, black hair and a black cloth covering half of his face.

OOC: Anyone who you can get to join is alright with me
The game will start out with Blunderbuss trying to rob Nessun as Keal walks by.

OOC: Is there a name for this island? I'll begin then...

IC: Blunderbuss descended from the light into the darkness of a shadow of a nearby building. His potent senses told him that someone was coming, and so he listened; waiting. Then; footsteps. Quiet at first but getting louder. Blunderbuss watched as the figure of Nessun strolled into the dimly lit street.

The halfling almost moved to crawling on all fours as an arachnid might as he traced Nessun's footsteps across the cobbled street. Quickly, he pulled the purse hanging from Nessun's belt. He turned. Took a step to move away. Before him, stood Keal.

Nessun felt a tug at his belt, and span around, to see the halfling, with Kael stood before him. "Dirty theif, Give me that back!" Nessun yelled. </FONT>

<font color=black>Keal tries to grab the purse from Blunderbuss, "Do you like getting on people's nerves?"</font>

Blunderbuss regained his composure. He stood between the pair, his eyes moving from one to the other. He casually threw the purse into the air, as it was about to fall back to his hand, it dissapeared, the other two stared; shocked. He could have easily vanished himself, back into the dark of the shadow, but he had bigger plans.

"I may return your purse to you, Nessun. Then again, I may not. That's the problem with thieves; you can never trust them." The halfling sniggered.

"There's a basic principle I want you to follow now, that is: an eye for an eye; you scratch my back, I scratch yours. You understand?" Blunderbuss looked at the two, one and then the other, he continued,

"Let me explain," Blunderbuss pulled out a map from under his cloak and laid it out across the floor, "The Elven jewellers; maker of the finest and most expensive jewellery in the world. The main three branches are stationed here; on this island." He traced his short, thick fingers between the three branches, "I propose we rob them, split the money. You both could come out of this wealthy men. I'll explain the plan further but first; are you with or against." Blunderbuss licked his lips and waited for a response.

As if remembering something, he quickly turned to Nessun, "And don't worry, you'll get your purse back."

OK, if it's not too late, I'm in.

Name: Jaggaer Haggert
Class: Arch-Battlemage (In training)

Stats:

Strength - 7
Speed - 5
Agility - 7
Social - 1 (OOC: Kind of like me)
Senses - 5

OOC: Sorry the description is so long. It would have been shorter but once I start writing anything story-like, I have a tendency to keep writing until I'm satisfied (see: Ruined and Ruiner)

A warrior from a clan of stealth hunters on an Island far far away, Jaggaer was abducted by a sorceror named Soline (pronounced Sahleen) and teleported to a floating city, a place which he thought he could never escape. Jaggaer being one of the most talented in his clan, was wanted by the mages. They wanted to make him into a great magic wielder for their own vile purposes. They tought him to use the magic winds and harness it's power for several years, Jaggaer had other thoughts. He used the new skills they gave him to enhance his ability as a warrior. In secret he would practice the art of the long blade, using his magic to enchant his ansestral sword with the powers of the elements and the swiftness of the birds. He warped the self-fortification spells they tought him to allow himself to be more aware of his surroundings, and to make himself temporarily more speedy and strong. These spells, although deadly, had several negative side-affects, mostly loss of power, mana, and will to live. It became difficult to withstand his urge to escape so he may perfect this new art he had begun to create. One day, many years after his abduction, he used his spell at full power to sneak upon his kidnapper. His magic was succesful enough that he managed to remain undetected for several minutes. That mage could not even feel the magic emanating from Jaggaer. Jaggaer swiftly killed the sorcerer and immediately summonned the magic winds that escaped the corpse as a strong wind which he used to glide out of the city to the ground, when those side-affects kicked in. He passed out, losing control of his flight and when he awoke, he was on this strange island. The fall had dulled his skills so he must now practice, but first he had to find civilization. He then had to find his way back home to the clan, and teach them the art of the Battlemage. Just before his journey started, he could feel a slight psychic feeling. He did not practice this kind of magic much for it did not seem sporty for him to learn how to know his enemy's thoughts before they attacked, that would make a good fight far to easy. Though he still had enough psychic senses to realize someone, somewhere was looking for him. That's all he could find, he knew not whom, nor even where the stalker was-if he or she was even on the same side of the world. All he kneew was that he had to be cautios from this point on...

<FONT COLOR= green> Nessun

"What do you take me for, theiving scum like yourself? I'll have no part of this!" Nessun drew his knife, charged towards Blunderbuss, grabbing him by the collar, and raised the knife into the air. He stopped, realising that killing blunderbuss would acheive nothing. Nessun dropped his knife to the floor, pushed blunderbuss away, and strode off into the bustle of everyday street life.

OOC: Great, another character! You're character description may have been long but it leaves plenty of room for storyline oppertunities.

<font color="#FF6600"> Blunderbuss

Blunderbuss watched as Nessun strolled away, adamant to his decision.

"Keal, I still await your decision. There is one thing I forgot to mention; I am not alone in this operation; there is another. Meet Jaggaer Haggert."

Blunderbuss whistled long and loud unlike any other whistle, and within moments, before him stood Jaggaer.

"He is powerful, and only awaits the money, so that he may leave this island to hone his powers elsewhere. Hence, he has joined with me. We split the shares. Don't make the mistake Nessun made, and go against us, for in time Nessun will realise his mistake and he will be punished else he will return and join us, for none may no about the planned robbery."</font>

<FONT COLOR= green> Nessun

Nessun wandered through the streets, the encounter with blunderbuss still on his mind. If knew that if he had killed the theif, he could have prevented a robbery, but that would have been murder. If he went to the guard, he would feel weak. There was only one thing he could do, trace blunderbuss, and prevent the robbery, although how he was going to acheive this without spilling anyone's blood, he didn't know. This gave him chance to talk up the role of a ranger. He knew he would have to find information on when the robbery was to be, and he'd need a spy, he couldn't confront blunderbuss himself. He needed to know of blunderbuss' friends, places he regularly went. If he had freinds who could be bent by coin, or where he could get a spy. First stop to find information, was the local inn. Nessun set out on his new quest.</FONT>

Jaggaer follows Blunderbuss to the town, thinking that he'd simply quickly enhance his stealth, help the thief finsh his job, take his share of the money and use it to get out. He keeps thinking along the way how fortunate he was to come across this bandit, and if he did the right thing by allowing himself to be a thief. But in the end all would work out. That feeling of being followed could not be shaken off, someone wanted him. He thinks for hours about his adventure in the floating city and when Blunderbuss asks him what's wrong, Jaggaer decides to admit his feeling. No good could possibly some of being followed and perhaps Blunderbuss, who seems to be quite attunned to his surroundings, can track this stalker. "We-er, I am being followed. I can feel it. You should be afraid, whoever it is may want to come after you as well." The short speech seemed to be enough to get the point across. There was a moment of silence.

<FONT COLOR= green> Nessun

Nessun approached the local tavern, hoping for information. Taverns were dangerous places, not for the 'posh' or 'upper-class' or 'law abiding' people, and as Nessun entered, everything went silent, and everyone turned to look at him. Nessun stood in the doorway, clearly scared. There was tota lsilence, except for the ocasional putting-down of tankards, and someone giving an impatient cough. Nessun spoke: "I am seeking someone with a close connection with Blunderbuss. I offer coin, for the information i seek would involve betrayal of trust. Anyone willing to help?" </FONT>

No matter how hard he tried, Jaggaer couldn't shake off that being watched feeling. The sense was driving him mad, he had to find out what was going on. In a desperate attempt, he pulled out his ancestral sword and made quick use of it, cutting down several bushes and even a couple of trees around him hoping to find his stalker. All he succeeded in doing was alarm his travelling cohort. He put away the blade and continued on, not saying a word.

OOC: Where's Keal. We need him to advance the story.

OOC: So, is this just another dead thread?

OOC: Looks like it.

Oh, the irony!

OOC: Too bad. I liked the way this was going.

Well, If he doesnt reply for a while, I suppose someone could take over..... But only if Keal doesn't come back, which im sure he will ;)

Sorry about the extreeemly long delay I'm not going to go into detail, lets just say I had cpu problems.Hivetryant you can still join. And please delete those ooc posts, I'll make a thread for that crap.
Anyway, I said I'm gonna finish this so lets do it!

DM:Nessun wlaks into the bar, blah, blah, blah, He asks his question, and no one answers. Nessun feels sorry for himself and goes home ot think about ways he could get that money back....

<font color=black>Keal
Keal says"If I'll get that man's purse back, then yes. I will help you steal the jewels. Now, what's the plan?"</font>
