(Okay.)
Detailed Fantasy World: Espelia (CLOSED, BUT YOU CAN WATCH)
(Another thing, and this isn't specifically for you, is that while I love the idea that everybody has characters that are of a different species, it wouldn't be the worst thing ever to have two characters of different people to be the same. It'd allow your characters to get to interact quicker, and you could even talk to the person before and see if they have any sort of history. For example, if the only species that appeals to you are the Mes Mirzas, but you notice I already have one, then you can make them that species anyway and just discuss it with me shortly before the whole thing starts. Ideally, we want to have a decent range of species, but it's not a problem if the only one you truly like is already used by someone else. Just try to stick to the rules of the species and everything will be fine.)
(How about a Hobbit and a Vampire duo?)
(Wait, you can't be either of those…?)
(It was on the list of fantasy creatures you could be so…. I is confused.)
(No, they aren't. Is this the list you're thinking of?)
Species Your Character Cannot Be:
(Don't even ask)
- Vampire
- Mermaid
- Fairy
- Gnome
- Hobbit/Character from other fantasy book
- Zombie
- God
- Anything not listed above (unless checked by me)
(If you look, it says that they can't be that and you shouldn't even ask…)

Seeing the telltale tracks of a Jhal, Verlin stayed well away, knowing better than to disturb a nursing mother on his own. Scenting, dew hung heavily, overlapping countless smells, countless flowers and leaves. Knowing his way back home by muscle memory and landmarks. Trekking under the trees, and doing his best not to damage the nature that surrounds him. A smile graces his lips when he passes a fallen log, hearing the telltale cries of young feline creatures inside. Eventually, his meandering path took him home, and he sat to begin cleaning his kills.
(Verlin is in! Your character is the second definite member, Ca1i. Congrats! I love the attention to detail you put in, and him having Emotional and Spirit will be interesting.)

Jade was running from the strangers in her woods, her heart was practically pounding in her chest. She heard the thwap of a bow behind her, didn't they understand she wasn't evil. Jade was a good person, they judged her because of her species, not who she was. The tears were forming at the corner of her eyes, Jade wiped them away and climbed a tree to escape the strange people. They passed and Jade breathed a sigh of relief, she decided not to leave the tree for fear of them returning to find her.
(I just read over everything, and Jade sounds like she'd be a pretty good character. You followed the Tencina species "rules" well. Jade can be our forth!)
(Yay!)
(Only one spot left, guys! As a recommendation, I'd save everyone's character forms in your notes. It'll help you keep track of who has who and what they act/look like.)
( Hold on I am making my template.)

Daymiya laughed as she was racing through the clouds. She looked down on the world below her with interest. I wonder what it's like down there. She thought to herself. She decided to stop flying and let herself fall through the clouds. The wind plowed through her hair and it rifled through her wings she felt so…. free. A laugh escaped her mouth and then she let her wings out again and did a swerve to keep herself flying and steady.
(Actually I can't join this, my deepest apologies.)
(It's ok, Hufflepuff. The last member is Daymiya! Maybe because Daymiya and Scarlett are both Sydridas, you guys (NerdGirl and Scarlet) could work it out that they know each other…? I'll post the rules of this in a second, so you have a bit of time if you wanna decide this. Also, I'll have the first post. Wait for that before starting, please.)
Espelia Rules:
- We'll be doing this in present tense, not past
- Since there are technically six of us, make sure that somebody doesn't post seconds before you while you type your response so that it doesn't get all convoluted; Example: Person 1- "Hi, I'm Sam." You- "Hey, Sam." Person 3- "Hey, Sam."
- There's no order, but just be cautious of what's going on in the story; there can be two people on their own together that have nothing to do with the other four
- Don't make characters that aren't yours do something; for example, you shouldn't say that Ikheil runs to the forest because he's not yours; however, you could say that your character grabs Ikheil's shoulder and pulls him into the trees because then your character is the one performing an action
I think I got all the final rules. Does anyone have any questions?
(Nope!)
