SymphonianBookworm Posted July 8, 2022 Report Share Posted July 8, 2022 Personality: Sharp. She has and always will be. She’s not always good with boundaries, but is a really good listener, despite her strong personality. She’s neither quiet nor loud, but something about her voice makes you want to listen to what she has to say. She speaks with a very wide vocabulary, and has a very good memory. Appearance: Medium-to-tall height, with thick hair and fair skin. She’s not ugly or very beautiful, but her most striking feature is her eyes, which are amber. Someone once told her that her eyes are the color of “molten gold, if gold was brown.” She wasn’t sure what to make of that. She follows fashion trends, but doesn’t think much of them Quirks: 1. Whenever she’s scared or angry, she smiles. A lot. Wide smiles that are surprisingly frightening. 2. She carries around a mysterious notebook wherever she goes. It’s rather small, but you can see it’s jam-packed with post-its (or whatever Trune’s version of post-its is...). She also has a silver pen that’s her most prized possession (besides the book). 3. She can build a clock from scratch. 4. She claims she has read all the books in the library by her house. No one is sure whether this is true or not. @Shining Silhouette Nice job making your character male 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmulatonStromenkiin Posted July 31, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 Mkay, this is a good start. I will now start storying. Each character is on a barge heading into the city. Clanda Swinnli(@SymphonianBookworm) and Rith Nintal (@The Unknown Novel) are on a barge heading along the main canal from Keywood to Center City. Cherry Pyrnai (@Channelknight Fadran) is along the Hoarfrost Vale canal, and Lysan Grovewater (@NerdyAarakocra) is coming in along the Devenar route for one of her rare visits to the City. Due to lucky chance, they will all be arriving at the docks at the center of the city at roughly the same time. (I'm working on a map for Center City, it'll be coming along soon and I'll post it in the map post along with the characters.) None besides Lysan have more than a rough idea of the city's layout. I will do a view perspective from the barges, as it looks pretty much the same on either side of the mountains. There is a range of mountains visible, looming shadows blocking much. You can see clearly a large break in the mountains, and within that break there is a distinct silhouette of Center City’s skyline, looking somewhat like a shallow cone. It has buildings rising up into the sky, peaking at a tower in the center that is much taller than any of the other buildings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Channelknight Fadran Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 The water here was a lot more... dejected. It wasn't the murkiness that bothered her; the stillness, even less so. It was how it barely sloshed about the barge's hull, waving one direction to the next. There wasn't any splatter of foam or mist in their wake. It was like something was holding the river down, pulling it to the earth and grasping it tight. Cherry opened her eyes, blinking out some little dusty bits that had worked their way inside during the meditation. The connection to the water faltered, though didn't fade completely. She kept her mind and heart open to the river. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NerdyAarakocra Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 The city. A bastion of civilization. A collective of people shutting nature out. Antithetical to everything Lysan believed. And here she was, on a road, no less. And when she got there? Navigating crowds and dodging tourists. And to think that all of this work would probably be for naught. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SymphonianBookworm Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 Clanda gripped the railing of the barge, leaning over as far as she could to see the bright blue water surrounding her. The light danced on top of it, laughing and tinkling. She smiled. Finally, she broke away from the trance and looked around. There were a couple other passengers. A pair of which looked to be siblings stood out to her the most. Should I go over and introduce myself? Ah well, I can do that later. We’re arriving. She’d Always wanted to see Center City, with its bustling people. And now she was here. Taking a deep breath, she reached into her tiny pouch and pulled out her pen. She twirled it in her fingers. It had always helped release stress; a weird habit of hers. Why am I nervous? I shouldn’t be nervous. I’m sure everyone there is... nice. She shook her head and let out a small laugh. Who am I kidding, in big cities no one is ever nice. But I can deal with it. She stared up at the sky, eyes focusing on the sun. For some reason she was never blinded when she saw the bright star. Guide me, she beckoned. Taking another breath, she smiled. It’s time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmulatonStromenkiin Posted August 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2022 @Channelknight Fadran, you will all be getting off at the same docks, (except for Lysan, we will work her into meeting the rest at some point.) You will all be going into a nice, clean dockside tavern, because of cliches. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
