Duel with Plot

[BrookSkimmer]

Who's up for it? Here's the character I would like to use:

Rave
Stoat
Male
Expert with knives but can use any type of light blade (rapier, saber, dirk, etc.)

Not a ton of detail but that's enough to get started with.

Here's the plot idea:

I would like to turn this into a thread with two beasts who end up being romantically inclined. Basically they don't like each other, fight, and end up liking each other. Once someone posts that they would like to be in on this we can develop our characters and the plot for this.

This will only be me and one other person. If more than one person responds here I'll pick what I think would work best with my character.

I'll see about that if I've got the time. But if you wish to duel with someone else it's fine. 

[Rainshadow]

  This sounds interesting!  I'd be willing to duel ya, but currently I'm not able to put up a character.  (That's how it works, right?  We make a character and you choose who you want to duel?)

[Redwaller]

Since Rain wants to do it, I'll leave her my place. 

[Rainshadow]

  Or we could compete to see who'll be chosen.  (Dunno why, but that actually sounds fun, competing.  )  I'm totally fine not doing the duel, I was just saying that it would be fun to do and that I'd be willing to do it if she wanted to duel me.

[BrookSkimmer]

 :)Just FYI for you guys... I would like to start this soon so if I do pick you it would be good if you are ready to go.

[Rainshadow]

  I'll start on my description and hopefully will have it done by (at most) tomorrow. 

[BrookSkimmer]

Ok Sounds good!

Name:  Cricket

Species:  Stoat

Gender:  Female

Age:  Around the same as Rave, maybe a little younger.

Appearance:  Cricket has the typical stoat appearance: light brown fur with a cream belly and neck, with dark brown eyes.  However, the beast is quite muscular for a female, even if she isn't very tall.  Her fur is smooth and silky, but is rather spiky on top of her head, sticking nearly straight up.  She's rather irritated with how this looks, but no matter what she does, the stoat can't get it to lay flat.
 Clothing-wise, Cricket wears a short faded yellow dress with a wide light brown buckle belt.  This belt has two loops on it into which she sticks her duel hatchets.  If you look at her footpaws you'll find a pair of light brown leather boots that match her fur and her belt.  She also wears a dark green hooded cloak, and the hood is often on her head, covering most of her face.
 As for jewelry, the stoat wears a gold collar necklace and golden hoops in her ears.

Weapons:  The only weapons the stoat uses are twin hatchets, but she does have a concealed dagger in her right boot.

Personality:  Cricket is a temperamental stoat and easily excitable, and she can be extremely annoying at times.  She's very talkative most of the time, but she can become incredibly serious in the blink of an eye.  But, other than that, she can be pleasant, at least a little.  Unfortunately, this little bit of pleasant is often covered up by her fierce stubbornness.

Other:  Cricket stammers and stutters when talking to others, and this annoys her often.  Also, she's bipolar, so you can never expect what she's going to do.

 Finished!  I might add a history after a storyline is figured out. 

[BrookSkimmer]

This looks great! We can get started whenever you want!

[Rainshadow]

  Cool!  Um, lookin' through my mental calendar, I think I'm free on Saturday, so that might be a good day to start.  (And if I don't post on Thursdays, it's because I'm gone most of the day every Thursday.  I do get on for a bit in the early morning, though.  )

[BrookSkimmer]

Ok that works fine, I need to do a little more to get my character ready. I can start the thread or you can.  Either way is fine.

[Rainshadow]

  Should we discuss any sort of plot or storyline, or are we just gonna let it play out however we RP it?  I'm fine either way, I'm just wondering what your opinion is on the matter. 

[BrookSkimmer]

Let's discuss a plot line sometime soon ok?

[Rainshadow]

  'Kay, I started the duel if that's fine with you.  Don't have a name for it yet, so I kept it as 'Duel with Plot'.  Sorry if the setting isn't the clearest, I was trying to get through that it was in Mossflower at the end of autumn, not too far from a small cottage where Cricket lives.  If that's not fine with you, I can certainly change it.
