Okay so our name is Piss and we are the Mafioso
Three characters lie before you, but only one of their stories can be heard. Which do you choose?
I don't have an immense amount of free time at the moment, so I've decided to try my hand at another one of those fancy ol' Quest roleplays, having actually planned decently far ahead this time. It's relatively simple and won't be too complicated - you have your standard set of four or less choices per prompt, and I might show the character's condition and inventory in small text on the bottom for a quick reference. Other than that, though, it'll be an easy and hopefully interesting run and should hardly be any more complicated than what you're seeing down here.
Of course, feedback of all kinds would be greatly appreciated!
The Linaeldan Riders
Elric Rhodes
A fresh face to Linaelda, he's still trying to figure out what kind of action suits him best.
A fresh face to Linaelda, he's still trying to figure out what kind of action suits him best.
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Race: A mystical race whose name is spoken only in guarded whisper. I think it starts with an H.
Looks: Rhodes stands at about average height and has tanned skin, shoulder-length black hair, and blue eyes. He wears a dark blue tunic with black accents, the long sleeves concealed by similarly long brown gloves. On his legs are black pants and brown boots with black accents.
Bio: Born to hunter and blacksmith, Elric feels he has lived a far less exciting life than the wanderers of the world have, and he vocalized this quite often in front of his family and friends. No one was surprised when he ran off at the age of 15, in an effort to take his own destiny by force.
After a couple years of finding nothing fulfilling, Rhodes decided to fall in with the riders of Linaelda, who reluctantly took him in and trained him in the many skills required for such a position. He believes he'll be ready to discover his companion very soon, but for now he's just going to have to work with the small assignments he's given from time to time.
The Many Talents & Items of Rhodes

A Nameless Wanderer
Who is he? What is he? Where did he come from? The only memories he has are his few minutes of consciousness.
Who is he? What is he? Where did he come from? The only memories he has are his few minutes of consciousness.
Gender: Male
Age: ...
Race: ...
Appearance: Though clearly humanoid in nature, everything else about him bears a striking resemblance to the dragons mentioned in childrens' fantasies, from the horns and rough, multilayered green scales to the fifth appendage resting at his feet. His piercing golden visage and roughly eight foot stature are his most imposing features (so, y'know, basically D&D dragonborn). As for clothing, only a gray poncho rests on his shoulders, covering most of his torso.
History: There is no history to him anymore. All he remembers is waking up in the middle of the forest. Any memories of what may have happened beforehand have simply vanished without a trace.
The world before him is new and unfamiliar, and there's no guarantee people will have a positive reaction to his presence. But it's either that, or live a life skulking in the shadows. Alone, away from civilization.
What are these strange Abilities?
memory wiped. he doesn't remember any of his original skills or attributes, and his name is forever lost to him
reverso memorino. a spell with unknown effects, that must be cast while touching the target's head
clear vision. a permanent enchantment allows rapid adjustment of eyes to bright or dark areas

Corilyn
A truly gifted sorcerer and companion with peaceful intentions. To everyone else, her childhood is shrouded in mystery.
A truly gifted sorcerer and companion with peaceful intentions. To everyone else, her childhood is shrouded in mystery.
Gender: Female
Age: 11 (though she is 26 at the time of delving into her memory)
Appearance: The younger Corilyn is slightly under four and a half feet tall, with light skin, wistful red eyes, and a length of brown hair braided into a ponytail. She wears a red, whitefur-lined winter coat, thick red leggings, and some black fur-lined boots.
Recollections: Corilyn doesn't remember where she was born or who she was born to, and she suspects this is something she'll never truly know. At one point, a friend of hers suggested that maybe she simply appeared in the world and that was it, though she clings to the hope that she has parents who are out there somewhere.
Corilyn's childhood is quite unique compared to those of her friends, but she's never told a soul in the 15 years since she left that life. During those years, she continued to grow up in the sleepy town of Remis and took part in a long and incredible journey around the world, which ultimately resulted in her settling down in the Linael sanctuary.
Corey still goes flying and exploring from time to time, but at this moment she remains seated in her study, staring at the various magical objects arranged on the table in front of her. She finally has what she needs to peer into the distant memories of those she knows, including her own, but she can only uncover the past of one person. Will she look into the past exploits of a daring young rider, the mystery man, or her own childhood?
Corilyn's Stuff
fascinating youth. because of Corey's young age and unusual upbringing, descriptions and quest options aren't always clear or vivid
compassion. Corey has far less negative or aggressive quest options than anyone else, so it's no surprise people find it hard to fault her
creature companion. Corey is gifted in all forms of interaction with animals, and does not hesitate to speak with anything that can speak back
insomnia. Corey cannot sleep, which is an issue as the day can still tire her out
a dream pendant. induce a sleep-like state on yourself and enter the other world
a zephyr dagger, just recently given to her

here's an example of how I intend to make things look in each post
I'll probably make it happen before the end of the week.
