Forbidden Truce, Chapter 2 - an AU RP, OOC Discussion/Sign up Topic.

[Faiyloe]

Ok Now That we are done with the really long Topic Title We can get back to business.

You can Find all the information about the first Chapter here. If you are new to this RP and would like to join I would advise reading this first.

A feud has been going on between the Gretheg and the Lonel Family and their followers for generations now. Things have escalated so much in the past few years so that they now never go out unarmed and when they meet blood is often spilled. Sabotage and revenge are on the rise and many creatures predict a war is coming. When last we left them The Grethegs dam had been burned down along with several of the Lonel's barns. The Lady Garvina was slain in her attempts to escape leaving her sister The Lady Bryony in Charge. Lord Donavin was severely injured in a fight with a Insane Weasle who is now heading towards The Lonel's lands with a taste for revenge.

If you would Like to keep a character or make a new one You must post the Character sheet here.


Rules

Rules

- Most characters are kind of gray. There is not clear line of good and bad. 

- There is not species bias. Rats are just as likely to be friendly as mice.

- To be a member of the Lonel family you have to be a squirrel but if you want to be a follower you can be anything you want.

- To be a member of the Gretheg family you have to be an otter but if you want to be a follower you can be anything you want. (inside reason there is more likely to be less squirrels on Gretheg's side and less otters on Lonel's)

- Make your posts count. There is no post minimum just so long as you make each post count. if a post doesn't move the story along, develop plot or develop you character don't post it.

- This is not a Romeo and Juliet! that doesn't mean there cant be a little romance but that is not what this RP is about. There are many directions this RP can go and that is not one of them.

- Start with Two characters and then latter I might up that number.

I'm in again, and hopefully I'll be much more active. Here is my sheet, copy pasted from before.

Name: Voxx
Species: Otter
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Family: Gretheg
Role: Somewhat high ranking officer in Donavin's military.
Weapon(s): Ornate horn-and-gilt longbow and arrows, many many knives which he throws and wields with great skill. He has a variety of different arrows, but the most notable arrows are semi-mechanical grapnel arrows- A hook unfolds from the large tip. (Nothing too complicated, though difficult enough to make that he uses them sparingly.) He can fire them quickly, and, say, loop them around a branch and then swing from them. Useful, but not to an extreme extent, as he doesn't want to use them near any kind of civilization- They're inaccurate, and it wouldn't be the first time he hit someone without meaning to.
Appearance: Fairly small for an otter. His fur is a deep black, unlike most of his kin. Sparkling green eyes.
Armor/Clothing: Dark brown leather armor, green tunic and hood. He wears a cloth to cover his mouth and nose often, both for practical reasons and because he finds it strangely comforting.
Personality: Kind in general, though he'll occasionally be biased towards or against somebeast for no reason whatsoever. To any Lonel creatures, he's cold, though not always violent unless he's provoked. There have been some incidents in his life that he's not proud of- When he was forced to commit acts of evil. Not exactly forced physically, but emotionally and... umm... societally? You get the idea.
Likes: He very much enjoys playing the small flute he carries with him, singing, throwing knives and shooting arrows for sport, friendly competition, most pies and puddings, and almost anything with green onion, potato, or raspberries in it.
Dislikes: Being dirty in specific ways- He can't stand being sandy or gritty, or being soaked with water or mud. He doesn't mind dull pain so much, but throbbing sharp pain is agonizing to him.
Strengths: -Skill with knives- -Skill with archery- -Special arrows- -Agility and speed-
Weaknesses: Fear of heights. Not moderate ones, he can jump off anything under ten feet without any hesitation- He was taught how to dodge, roll, jump, and carry on running with the best of them. But standing on a ledge any higher than about twenty feet fills him with fear. He's about a quarter as effective with anything if he's in such a situation- Though, if he's got a rope tied to his belt, and grappled onto a nook, he feels much safer. He also doesn't like water- He's alright at swimming, but that's on a normal creature scale- He possesses none of the natural otter skill with water, and in fact hates being in it. He can still do things that are anatomically part of him, such as hold his breath longer and use his rudder, but he never learned to use them properly, due to his fear of water.
History: As he was growing up, he was trained in all the things Donavin specializes in- speed, agility, archery, ranged tactics. When he was fourteen, he joined Donavin's forces, and since then has had several victories and defeats against the Lonel as he went up through the ranks.

Ok...

The Grethegs burned down the Lonel's Barns, then The lady Garvina Went to destroy there dam. Zuzukath Cam shot her with a dart which made her get a fever.  Then He set fire to the forest. To stop the fire from spreading Garvina set fire to the dam. Then Donavin cam along and she got captured. (She was not feeling at all well the affects of the dart were kicking in.)  Arya came along to save her and got locked up in the gate house.  Bryony then came for her with a good amount men to bake her up. Zuzukath is out for blood he raided Donavin's castle Killing several men and attacked Bryony's party.  Garvina attempted to escape. Bryony challenged Doanvins men. Garvina had gotten all the way out the front gate when she got shot in the back and that was the end of the first chapter.

Yes I did kill Garvina.

Oh and Rachel I would like to see more of Orvil in this chapter. 

[Rusvul]

One thing you forgot to add was the brief moments of cooperation between the families against Zuzucath. I believe Garvina saved Voxx's life, at one point.

EDIT: Okay, I read the final bits of the RP, and I've got an idea of how we could start the next one. Perhaps everyone could react to Garvina's death in their own way? Like, I'm sure Bryony would be grieving a lot, but I doubt anyone was really happy about her death. I think even Donavin would be slightly sad, even if only because she was more valuable as a prisoner.

Ehh? Ehh? Maybe? Maybe not. Just an idea.

[Faiyloe]

Oh yes that did happen. I for got... sorry I just ruined that little friend ship.

[Cornflower MM]

Hmm, interesting idea. Hey, Rach, maybe Donavin could send a formal apology!
