Roleplay Idea (Thoms one)

[Thomas Barkshield]

I relise in the past I haven't always delivers on my role playing promises, but this time I don't have anything to do, and boredom is the mother of creativity. This role-play is simple: some travellers meet in Mossflower wood, with only one thing connecting them: their search for a vermin band that has affected them all. The reason they are in Mossflower is reports of the vermin band being nearby.  The sign up sheet is as follows:

Name:

Race:

Gender:

Other:

As soon as I have at least 5 people, I will start although latecomers are always welcome. I would also appreciate an idea for a name.

Thom! I missed you! I am most certainly joining this, whether you like it or not!

Name: Eddy
Race: Pine Marten
Gender: Male
Appearance:  Eddy is an average marten: dark brown fur and a lighter belly. He wears a black tunic and brown pants. Over this he wears a dark blue cloak. None of his clothes fit exactly, as all were raided from woodlanders.
Tools of War: A long sabre stolen off some dead hare
Backstory involving vermin band: Eddy ran with them several seasons back. Of course, vermin bands don't tend to be too close, and he was betrayed by them; he was used for bait so the remainder of the band could get away. He barely escaped with his life and is out for revenge.
Other:

As for name, I dunno. The Hunt? It's boring and cliched, but it would work.

[Thomas Barkshield]

Accepted! As for the name, you don't want it to be too complicated as it retracts from the story and could get hard to type after a while. I like it.

  An interesting idea.  

Eron Ardo

Name:  Eron (AIR-un) Ardo

Race:  River otter

Gender:  Male

Age:  18

Occupation:  Thief/prankster/traveler

Appearance:  Eron is a tall, wiry otter that has blue-grey fur with black paws, black streaks running from his eyes to his nose, and a white throat and belly.  His eyes are dark brown, borderline black, and sparkle with mischief.

Tools of war:  The river otter wears a tan, long-sleeved tunic with a brown, leather waistcoat on top, as well as faded green trousers and dark brown boots.  He has a wide leather belt around his waist, into which is tucked a dagger and several throwing knives, as well as a hatchet.  A similar belt is worn from his shoulder to his side, carrying a quiver of arrows.  Inside of his waistcoat is a set of lockpicking tools and other such items for quick thievery.

Backstory involving vermin band:  Eron and his twin brother, Aron, were part of a holt that got slaughtered by the band of vermin, and they now devote their lives to hunting down the cruel beasts.

Other:  Besides clothing, the only way to tell that Eron isn't Aron is that Eron has a cockney accent.  Even so, he can mimic his brother's accent perfectly, so it's quite hard to tell them apart.

Aron Ardo

Name:  Aron (AWR-un) Ardo

Race:  River otter

Gender:  Male

Age:  18

Occupation:  Warrior/prankster/storyteller/traveler

Appearance:  Aron is almost identical to his brother in appearance, being a tall and wiry otter that has blue-grey fur with black paws, black streaks running from his eyes to his nose, and a white throat and belly.  His eyes are dark brown, borderline black, and they are full of merriment and joy.

Tools of war:  Aron wears a cream, long-sleeved tunic with a brown, leather jerkin covering it, and black, leather trousers, with brown boots that match the jerkin.  A light brown belt is buckled around the otter's waist, and a two-handed sword is attached to it.

Backstory involving vermin band:  Aron and his twin brother, Eron, were part of a holt that got slaughtered by the band of vermin, and they now devote their lives to hunting down the cruel beasts.

Other:  The warrior otter can mimic his brother's accent perfectly, making it quite hard to tell the two apart, but his accent is Scottish.

 Done!

[Jetthebinturong]

Sounds good, I'll try and think up a character

[Thomas Barkshield]

Rainshadow: I know the feeling.

Jetthebinturong: Its okay, no rush.

[Rainshadow]

  Finished mine. 

[Thomas Barkshield]

Accepted! They look Great.

Update: (I will also post this in the first post) The reason the characters are in mossflower is that the vermin band has been spotted there. Does anyone have any name suggestions? If not, I'll go with Wonwills and call the Roleplay The Hunt.

[Thomas Barkshield]

Sounds Very cool! Accepted.

[Rainshadow]

  I changed a minor detail with Aron.  Instead of having a normal otter accent, he as a Scottish one.  Lol, I realized late last night that cockney and otter sound quite alike, so I thought I should change that a bit. 

[Edraithel]

If you don't have another person join in a couple days I can play a second character.

[Thomas Barkshield]

Well, We've got 3 players ( 4 including me) and 4 (five including me) characters. If anyone wants, we can start now. It wouldn't be hard to incorporate a new character, were all following the same thing (the vermin).

[Edraithel]

Ok.

[Rainshadow]

  Er, if we're starting soon, would it inconvenience you too much to wait until tomorrow evening or Saturday to start?  I'm gonna be at a test for most of tomorrow, so I won't have access to the forum until late in the evening when I finally get home.  But if you don't want to or can't wait, that's totally fine, I can just catch up tomorrow night or Saturday morning.
