[The Suspicious Eye]

You can jump in if you like, things are about go go down. xD

Lol, I'll try. I want to read through all the updates before I post.

 

[voracity]

Name

Verasha Helvalor

Age

27

Race

Harpy

Powers and Abilities

Verasha's most basic ability is to fly around - at very high speeds. Her narrow body structure, and paper thin - though very strong and capable - wings allow her to shoot through the skies with incredible ease. It is very easy for her to dive, pull up, and turn without dropping too much speed, she is after all, a harpy, and one of her first basic instincts is to drop from the sky to steal from those who have done many wrongs. There are also rumors that some harpies have been able to fly at the speed of sound ... now that's something Verasha wouldn't mind challenging in the next few years. As mentioned before, Verasha's wings are strong, unlike some of the smaller winged creatures, harpies do have the innate ability to bring about storms. Verasha herself has only been able to make small ones that give small cuts or knock someone around for some laughs, but nothing that measures up to the legends of the harpies that terrorized the sea and summoned forth storms that razed the sea sides for days. One final mentionable ability Verasha has is with her senses, her ears can catch the slightest changes - should it be carried with the wind, and her eyes are mostly shielded from dust and winds.

Personality

Verasha is a strong minded individual, which gives rise to the strong sense of self that she has. She knows her weaknesses, strengths, flaws, and doesn't need anybody to tell her what she should do, choose or want. That being said, she is someone who is confident in themselves as a .. person/creature, and isn't afraid to say the first thing that comes to mind. Verasha can be very friendly, childish even, as she yearns for others' company - thriving in it, even. Don't let her fool you though, she is more than capable of taking care of herself, others, and accomplishing the tasks that she has set out for herself.

Character Flaw or Weakness

Well ... First there's food. Instead of stealing treasures, people, souls, or the more valuable things, harpies like to steal food from people. Sometime's it's genuinely because she's hungry, but most of the time, Verasha does it anyway - just because she can get away with it. Of course, there have also been times where she HASN'T been able to initially get away - though it's doubtful she'd ever share those stories. Another flaw she has is that she is endlessly restless, impatient, and itching to move about. Her wings were meant to touch the kiss, to brush the clouds and let the sun kiss it! Not lie still and be snapped shut together! Hell, she can't even walk straight she has to do some weird strutting thing to move if she needs to used her legs! That's another good point: if her wings were ever to be wounded, there is very, very little she can do other than pluck the specific few razor sharp feathers in her wings and stab it through her enemies.

Romantic Inclination

Homosexual

Short bio

In her earliest memories, Verasha couldn't recognize faces, features, or the like. The one thing that remained constant was the change of the winds that came when one particular person neared her. Her ears were quick to recognize, categorize and shuffle through the different sounds, waves, and brushes of the slightest breeze. Harpies didn't stay with their young for long, most grew up isolated from one another - rarely ever being together in more than a group of three. As soon as they could fly higher than the treelines, they were left to their own devices. Birds like them were never meant to be cages, to be tied down, and even maternal bond wouldn't tie them down. In the end, they all grew up alone, but would forever recognize their mother and their young whenever the winds roared with their messages. With the recent spread of taint and corruption, many of the harpies have recorded deafening roars, hollow ones, and when Verasha faintly registered a familiar one, she sought to find the reason - leading her away from the wilderness she grew up in.

Appearance

​

Spoiler

Verasha is a very tall, very lithe harpie with pale, almost snowy white blonde hair that just manages to reach the middle of her back - well that, and the bangs that are swept over her right eye. Her eyes are a stormy gray color, though when under the light, become nearly colorless, save for the faint blue hue that reflects the sky she flies under. Her ears are not those of humans, covered with feathers, fur some might say, that are a color of the darkest and deepest of blues. Her wings, talons, limbs, all follow the same in color, though the tips may shine brighter than the black-like feathers she has. Those shorts and vest though? Yeah, she stole those.

@S N O W B I R D Accepted ^^ Welcome to FableWood

 

[SilverFlight]

@Baconhands Ooo, dark. You'll have to make a distinction between talking animals and non-talking animals. The ones that talk will likely not be controllable. Otherwise, accepted.

 

[Aldur]

The bacon, it speaks to me.

Ready for another lurking contest? @Aldur Forgehammer

Shame cause I've got to be a bit more active now

 

[SilverFlight]

@Baconhands That will do fine, also, you will not be able to control mythical creatures, as they can all speak as well.


All right you two, we've been over this, take it to the OOC.

May I reserve a slot? It's quite late for me, so hoping I can add my profile tomorrow? If not, that's fine! ^^

I can't answer for our GM, @SilverFlight, but he's very busy during the day with his job and all so you might not get an answer for a while. Just giving you a fair warning before you felt like you were possibly being ignored or something. ^^;

Oh thankyou! I understand. I too work a lot, so I don't expect instant replies, but thankyou for letting me know. I might just work on a profile and if I don't get a spot I can always use it in another.

 

[SilverFlight]

You may indeed. Take your time reading the rules before you make a CS ^^

 

[Maevu]

@SilverFlight Apologies, but I thought I had better let you know that perhaps my held spot would be better for others. I've been reading through and you're all quite advanced and being so new I don't think I'm at this stage yet. That being said you all have amazing abilities and good luck with the rest of the story ^^ Again I'm sorry I hate to waste time, but I feel I would only waste more by continuing.

You are always welcome to try it out. Its not a waste of time if you learn something ^^ Its entirely up to you in the end however, if you change your mind just give me a shout.

 

[Maevu]

@SilverFlight I guess I could post the profile I had made and see what you think?

I'd love to see it ^^

 

[Kal]

-wip- Arachnae -wip-

Age:


1.5 years (UpperMid-life)


Race:


Weaver


Powers & Abilities:


Take a humanoid form, communicate with non-humanoid spiders, have up to four arms in humanoid form, bring forth and weave spider silk from between her nails and fingerskin. Using magic, they can use up their silk to make a full piece in a second. This is not as exquisite as their hand-made cloths, so is used out of necessity. Her bite contains poison, and can be mildly paralytic to smaller creatures. For larger creatures, it would just be painful.


Personality:


A fun-loving prankster hidden behind a mask of propriety. She aims to do what she must for the longevity of her species. And in that process, forgot about herself. In fact, past childhood, many Weavers do not think for the sake of their individual self. Arachae can take many tasks at hand. She is an excellent weaver, and can get lost in the process. The Weaver community exports and sustains itself by selling much of these. Hence the importance of the head weaver. While she is not the leader, Arachae still holds a great deal of influence because of her position. Her heir will so, as well, when she succeeds as Arachnae.


Inside, Arachnae finds humor in a lot of things. Irony is a favorite of hers to spot. She is warm, wanting to show affection in touch, but adheres to custom in giving hand-weaved, intricate clothes as a show of thanks, affection, or desire. The pattern and color-choice usually help in identifying the gift-givers attention. She finds it easier to suppress a smile altogether, than chance a laugh getting through. She may speak her mind when necessary, but with carefully chosen words. Arachnae finds this exhausting, but crucial as hers is a high position, and she is an example to aspiring weavers.


Character flaw or weakness:


Responsibility.


What am I supposed to do versus what do I want to do. The hearts has its wants too, but Arachnae has made it a habit to put the community first.


Romantic inclination:


The Ladies~


Short bio:


The Weavers are not long-lived. With a life-span of two years, three at the very most, they do not have names. Rather, they take the name of the one they succeed. For all intents and purposes, it is their title. For instance, Arachnae is the title for head-weaver. As the current Arachnae is already one-and-a-half, she was training the next Weaver to take her place.


[...]


Appearance:


Her natural appearance is that of a big, fuzzy spider the size of a large palm. These particular Weavers have a splash of red on their cephalothroax(the smaller, 'head' part of the spider's body), usually in different size or pattern, but always somewhere on the cephalothorax. Most all weavers learn to take a humanoid shape, but those especially who deal with traders, merchants, or possible travel to the big city learn to perfect their humanoid form. Arachnae's resembles a woman nearing her twenties. Arachnae's focus was on perfecting the speech of humans in her humanoid body, so her body is near shapeless, her arms and legs twigs, but she hides these under exquisite cloth. Arachnae's humanoid form takes on dark, black hair, like the hair color on the body of of the Weavers, and a slight shade of lilac in her eyes. She much prefers her natural form, as she finds her humanoid form cumbersome and harder to move in.

[Maevu]

Name: Eva Garmil


Age: 22


Race: Elven


Powers and abilities:Eva is phenomenal with the bow and arrow and is exceptional with close hand combat with her unfailing daggers. She’s swift, crafty and able to disguise herself easily amongst trees and undergrowth. With her call for nature, it is no wonder Eva is gifted with Earth like abilities which include control of both flora and fauna, however Eva only ever decides to use these talents in dire situations as it draws a great deal from her strength. She prefers to fight from a distance where she can keep watch over the battle at hand.


Personality:


Eva is a tough, but fun loving girl. She loves teasing and is quite mischievous. Bright-eyed and curious Eva finds herself in bad situations without thinking beforehand and often leaps into things that are dangerous. However she’d never purposely drag her people or friends into danger as she holds them close to her heart, but that being said she doesn’t think of the consequences of her actions, especially that her actions might affect other people. Eva is easy to talk to and laid back, most of the time she hangs out in trees and either naps, practices with her bow, or practices hand to hand combat. Overall Eva is a resilient, but fun loving and an open minded elf.


Character flaw or weakness:


She cannot use a sword whatsoever, is brash and she doesn’t think and stop about her actions. Can be rude, stubborn and gets herself into the most chaotic of situations.


Romantic inclination: Heterosexual


Short bio:


Eva has spent much of her life secluded from the others of Fablewood, although not on purpose. She has grown to enjoy life on her own in the woods and seldom feels lonely. She does however in fact enjoy making friends and often wonders why she hasn’t gone out of her way to do so.


She remembers very little of her past, her parents are unknown and she has no memory of her origins. She has not met many of her kind and those who do meet her seem wary and stand offish although she has no idea why.


All that she has from her past is a small locket that appears to be sealed shut with no apparent way of opening it because goodness knows she has tried.

@Sinister Clown


Sorry for the late reply, super busy IRL. I will only be able to accept one character, please re-write every CS point in full sentences (no point form or sentence fragments) I do have a rule about no werewolves, but since I've been convinced of accepting a number of them, you can have your werewolf if you like.


 
@Maevu @Kal I've accepted your profiles, you are free to start posting. We've just done a time jump IC to the next day. Its a good time to come in.

 

[GamerXZ]

Name: James White


Age: 22


Race: Human


Powers and abilities: None...for now.


Personality: Calm and reserved at first glance, doesn't talk a whole lot unless he feels he has


something worth saying and doesn't like being the center of attention. That said, he is remarkably


kind-hearted and selfless, being willing to put the needs of others ahead of his own on a regular


basis. He is a very honest individual too who hates keeping secrets and has a strong sense of morals


and justice. This is someone who is not afraid to stand up and fight for what he believes in.


Character flaw or weakness: Perhaps one of his main flaws or shortcomings is his feelings of


Sentimentality. In other words, he can be TOO selfless or devoted at times, sometimes forgoing his


own desires altogether and has a tendency to blame himself whenever something goes wrong or he


feels he didn't do enough.


Romantic inclination: Straight


Short bio: Mr White's childhood was anything but easy. To make a long story short, his upbringing


was filled with sad events and an abusive, uncaring family who seemed to have an entitlement complex.


After an accident claimed the lives of his parents, the young lad was adopted by a kind family and raised


up the right way...although it took a LONG time for the scars of his past to heal and he still occasionally


experiences nightmares or visions of the innocence he lost.


Despite his insistence he "outgrew" more childish pursuits, it seems there was still a spark of it


deep inside him. That side of him that believed in the fantastical, the impossible, that dreams could


come true if you worked and had faith. It seems that spark was all that was needed to bring him to


Fablewood...
