Perilous Waltz OOC

[sarahleinaar]

Hi! Is it to late to join?

[silvanis2.0]

Actually, you're just in time! Come on in!

[sarahleinaar]

Goddie! Should I post the character here or in the actual thread???

[silvanis2.0]

Go ahead and post your bio here. ^^ I'll give it a once-over and then you can jump in whenever you feel like. Just so you know, most of the characters have made it into the castle grounds (or close to it) and the ball is almost ready to begin.

[sarahleinaar]

Name: Serephina
Age: 18
Caste: Noble
Physical description:
Brief bio: Serephina is the daughter of a King in the land of Rosewood. She is the youngest of four children and the only girl so of course she was always the special one. Her father spoiled her with everything she could possibly want. But the one thing she wanted more than anything was to find her true love. When she heard of this ball she asked her father at once if she could go. It would be a great way for her to meet some new people, and maybe even find that one special person. Also, with her best friend/manservant, William, by her side, everything should go quite well.
Weapon of choice: A silver sword that her mother gave to her before she passed away. She always carries it and knows how to use it quite well.
Family name: Starling
Mount: Star, gentle but protective


Name: William Johnson (Will)
Age: 18
Caste: Manservant
Physical description: Brown Hair, Brown eyes, tan skin, charming smile. 5"8, 158 pounds
Brief bio: William has known Serephina since they were both very little. Their mothers were best friends so naturally, they became best friends too. Serephina knows she can tell him everything and he the same to her. Ever since their mothers were murdered, they became closer and closer each day. The only thing that bothers Will is that he thinks that he may be falling for her.
Weapon of choice: Also a sword that he keeps hidden under his cloak.
Mount: None, he walked or rode with Serephina.

I hope these are okay!

[silvanis2.0]

Wonderful! Feel free to jump in!

[sarahleinaar]

Yay! I'll post later tonight. About to eat dinner right now

[silvanis2.0]

No pressure ^^ Enjoy your dinner!

[Wolfsong]

Silvainis, I'm afraid I'm going to be going on a trip to Colorado for a doctor's appointment, so I shall be absent for a week or so. I don't want to hold up the works, but I would love to continue as part of the rpg, but...well, just letting you know. My apologies...

[sarahleinaar]

Have a nice trip! Stay safe!

[silvanis2.0]

No worries, Wolfsong! I'll keep your characters with the group as we move and give you a summary when you get back. Have fun!

[Wolfsong]

Thanks Sarah.

Thanks silvanis. Hope I don't miss too much. Lol but I am an expert at catching up, so this should work out. I'll make my last posts for the day, and see you in a week - give or take - 's time!

[silvanis2.0]

Safe travels!

Here's a new character of mine~!

Name: Orion Castille

Age: 20

Caste: Knight

Physical description: Orion stands tall at 6'4. His frame is strong, but not too muscular, and he is tan from being outside so often. His black hair falls in loose curls around his neck. His almond-shaped eyes look similar to Josephine's, but rather than being a deep blue, they are a hazel-green.

While on duty, Orion's attire consists of his armor and tunic, but for the ball, he wears black courtly pants, a red, royal court doublet over a formal, white chemise, and black, leather knee-height boots, perfectly polished.

Brief bio: Orion grew up quite the opposite of Josephine; he ventured outside quite often as a young boy, and his father, Cyrus Castille taught him how to fight since he was four years old. His father is actually the brother-in-law of Josephine's father, Louis Arnette, and the husband of his sister. In simple terms, Orion and Josephine are cousins, and they harbor rivalry towards each other as their fathers do.

Weapon of choice: Dual swords crafted from the best metal smith in his city. Much like Josephine's sword, Orion's sword bears his family crest-- which is a roaring lion's head and two crossed swords behind it-- at the hilt's end.

Family name: Castille. Orion's father and Josephine's father are bitter rivals, and this is known throughout the land. A ruckus is caused every once in a while in the king's city when a couple other servants from opposite sides cross paths. While the Arnettes own a considerable amount of land among the eastern mountains and vast valleys, the Castilles own much of the western seaside, where the breeze is constant and heat is almost always present.

Mount: A white Arabian horse named Artemesia. She is four years old and very tame.

[silvanis2.0]

Hooray! ^w^

[silvanis2.0]

Since most characters have pictures to go with them, I figured my guys ought to have some too.

[sarahleinaar]

ALLYYYY!!!!!!! YOU'RE HERE!!!!

[Wolfsong]

Those look pretty cool Silvanis. I'd post some of my pictures of my characters, but the scanner isn't working XD So not fair...

[silvanis2.0]

Aw, non-functioning scanners are mean. Glad you're back! How was your trip?

[Wolfsong]

Just fine, except having to travel with four noisy siblings...all boys. XD

[sarahleinaar]

Ughhh, (I understand... I have three younger brothers...) LOL

[silvanis2.0]

Since things are heating up a bit, I'm going to put out some guidelines. Each of our characters will face one of the robed baddies. I'll introduce them a bit at a time, and set up the fights to come. However, once the fight has started you don't have to wait for me to respond with details about the fight because that will take far too long. Feel free to dictate how it goes. Just remember that the robed folks are highly skilled and hard to beat. These fights ought to test your characters. Once the fight is over, I'll take care of what happens next.
So far, here's the order of people fighting the robed ones.
1. sarahleinaar, Forrester (simultaneously)
2. Wolfsong
3. ????
Post here for the next slot. It's a first-come first-serve sort of deal, but everyone will have a chance. It would also help if you post here to tell me when your character is ready for the fight. I don't want to interrupt any character development or character relations you have in the works.

Thank you all for being awesome and making this story fun!

[Davidizer13]

I'll take the next slot, if that's all right.

[silvanis2.0]

[Wolfsong]

Question:
May I initiate conflict, or is that your job? Considering Maxwell's off hunting, I thought it might be appropriate...but I'm fine with whatever.

[silvanis2.0]

Maxwell is a special case, so feel free with him. It would help if your robed person lures him away from where others might see him ^w^

[Wolfsong]

Hmm...okay, I can probably manage something. One more question (sorry for bugging you like this...)
Do we have to answer yes right away, or can I stall or something? Considering Max's personality, I'm not entirely sure he'd comply at a moment's notice...maybe if to buy himself some time to think, but still...
anyways, while I await an answer, I'll go find me a sneak. XD

[silvanis2.0]

You're not bugging at all! Let Maxwell do as Maxwell does. It's far more fun that way.

[Wolfsong]

okay then. Gimme a sec.

[DecooPunk]

My sister snailboy wanted me to take over her character, would that be okay?
