__________________IN-DEPTH STUFF

Physical Description
Standing five and a half feet tall, with beautiful porcelain skin, and long golden hair Karina always has eyes on her. And if they linger long enough, they often have the opportunity to watch her stumble and fall, or crash into a closed door. While gorgeous, she is not the most graceful. She is prone to accidents, most of which are the result of her own actions. Her clothes often have to be mended from various mishaps, and it's just as often as not that she has a bruise or two on her beautiful face. Her big blue eyes are too often buried in a book, and she doesn't notice the obvious danger in front of her. For this reason, she keeps her attire to simple travelers clothing, her hair pulled back and braided, and is armed only with a staff and one small dagger for utility purposes.

Personality
Despite the tragedy she has faced in her life, Karina always has a song in her heart. She is loving, warm, loyal, and is always more concerned with the people around her than her own well being. To her own detriment, if the situation called for it. She is a charitable person, always looking for the best in people and never their faults, with a thirst for adventure, knowledge, and new places. And there are always new friends to be found in those new places. In her mind, the world is a bountiful place for her to spread love and joy. She is, however, and bit eccentric. Coming from a frozen Tundra she always thinks that other people have strange foods and drinks. She detests tea of any form, and believes wine is a child's drink, and will always choose red meat over anything else. She is also not afraid to speak her mind, which has gotten her into trouble on more than one occasion.

Magic/Abilities
Karina is an exceptional artist and has a near perfect visual memory. She is skilled at charting maps, and sells her skills whenever possible, and has exceptional skills navigating the wilds and surviving.

As for weapons, Karina stays away from blades, for fear of hurting herself. While she is aquatinted with a bow, axe, and various other weaponry she rarely uses them. She carries a staff of rosewood that she is quite skilled with, and uses as a spellcasting focus.

In terms of magic, Karina has always been in tune with nature. She is a practitioner of Druid magics, healing and shape shifting, has an affinity with the stars. Since birth, the heavens have influenced her life, and in turn, her magic. She is able to harness starlight and moon fire to sending out powerful projectile attacks.

Relationships
Family-
Anya - Mother - Deceased
Magnus - Father - Deceased
Erik - Brother - Missing

History
Karina was born in a truly harsh winter in the far north. Her family, nomadic hunters who followed the elk, were loving, protective and loyal. They traded with other groups regularly and had a reputation for providing good meat and quality furs at good prices. The young girl absorbed her family's good nature and pride. From a young age, she was fascinated by their dealings, and was encouraged by her mother to learn as much as she could from her father.

Due to their nomadic lifestyle, she took to making maps when she came of age, which her father sold to other travelers. They marked hunting grounds and game trails for other, or used them to help guide explorers. Unfortunately, not everyone was receptive of her family's good will.

They were attacked in the dead of night. Her family, and others they traveled with, were slain. Her brother was taken by the raiders, and their women were taken as slaves. Karina managed to escape, but few others were so lucky, and had it not been for her fathers lessons she would have never survived. Karina went on to use her skills to make a name for herself, and she eventually made her way south to warmer lands.

Hi All!

You can call me Orion. I also answer to Cam, and various other insults.

I've been away from forum role play a long time. Writing has always been a passion of mine, and I have put it on the back burner long enough. So, here I am! You're welcome to ask any inappropriate or intrusive questions you want, I'll only bite a little. Also feel free to holler at me on Discord. I already joined the group.

PLAYER WANTS

What are your favorite kinds of plots and relationships to play?

Any kind. I like everything from large scale battles/wars, to adventures with a small group of players, to intimate scenes just sitting around a campfire.

What are your least favorite kinds of plots and relationships to play?

Refer to previous answers.

What are your favorite character types to play?

Heroic characters. Make or female doesn't matter, just people who get out in the world and make a difference. I like to play as adult characters in particular, not kids. I rarely play characters younger than me.

Are you a planner or a pantser? Do you prefer to pre-plan and stick to a script when posting, or do you prefer to surprise and be surprised?

A little of a and a little of b. Sometimes inspiration will strike in the moment and I'll be like... woah. Gotta do that.

How do you feel about group threads?

No problems.

How often can you reply to any given thread? How long should a partner wait before nudging you for a post?

Unless I've posted otherwise, I like to keep updated to at least once a day. Twice if life isn't kicking me in the pants.

What is the longest you're willing to wait for a reply to a thread?

Hahahah! I've waited weeks for one post just to find out we're ending a thread after that.

How do you feel about instant messenger RP?

That's ok.

Ho do you feel about post volleying/rapidfire RP?

Meh. I have to be prepared for it and know it's coming.

What's your preferred posting style? Long posts? Short posts? Anything and everything?

Varies. I usually try to post what's needed for a particular moment and don't go overboard.

Any RP styles/habits that you love?



Any RP styles/habits that you avoid?




PLAYER LIMITS

What are you limits regarding powerplay/godmoding?

Don't touch my toys without asking.

What are your limits in regards to romantic situations?

I'm fine with it either way. I'm not opposed to it but it's not why I'm here.

What are your limits with regards to graphic content such as sex, violence, drug use, sexual assault, etc? What is your comfort level?

I'm like an 6/10. Keep it classy and not overly graphic and you won't hear any complains from me.

What are your limits in regards to pregnancy within plots?

Doesn't bother me. Again, keep it classy.

What about healing?

I don't mind anything of the sort being done to an NPC, but if I've intentionally given my character a flaw or defect don't try just healing it without running it by me.

What about characters being transformed against their will?

Don't touch my toys without asking.

Anything else?

I think it's pretty self explanatory that I'm a big proponent of consent. I expect to have a conversation before anything major happens to my character. Little things don't bother me, but it can't hurt to check in.

Essyrn / Esteban
December 29, 2022, 09:12:59 AM
__________________QUICK STATS
Name Esteban
Age 34
Gender Male
Species Human
Ethnicity Essyrni
Height 5' 9"
Occupation Bard
Residence Nomadic

__________________IN-DEPTH STUFF

Physical Description
Esteban is a handsome man, in his own way. He is tall and lean, with deeply tanned skin, and long dark hair that he keeps pulled into a braided pony tail. His facial features are sharp, bordering on gaunt, giving him a somewhat exotic look. He keeps his facial hair trimmed neatly into a short goatee, braided with strange runic beads, and a mustache, waxed so the ends twist upward. His choice of clothing is loose and comfortable, yet stylish, with bright colors and fine fabrics, and always with his shirt left open to show off his chest hair and numerous tattoos. Finally, he wears a variety of rings, bracelets, necklaces and earrings, all of different metals, some of which are extremely valuable, and others obviously fake, along with having simple trinkets and beads braided into his hair or sewn into his clothing.



Art by me!

Personality
Often described as colorful or eccentric, Esteban puts on a display that makes him difficult to read. He shifts from debonair rake to serious orator at the drop of a hat, and can rarely be found without a wide smile. He will attempt to get out of any bad situation with charm and diplomacy, but when push comes to shove he is not without his wiles. Esteban is a prodigious swordsman and a talented mage, who has picked up numerous techniques and abilities from all across the world. When a silver tongue is not enough a blade or two will do.

Magic/Abilities
Esteban is a skilled swordsman who wields a pair of scimitars. He wears loose lightweight clothing that allows a wide range of movement, and obscures his movements as he fights.

Magic, while not something he was naturally born with, was something he was able to learn in his travels. He has a number of elemental and illusory spells in his repertoire, and is always on the looking for new and exciting abilities.

Relationships
None, currently.

History
Esteban's history is questionable, as he has been known to embellish the details of any story he tells. A few details that never change regardless of how often he tells his tales, is that he grew up in Essryn, in a small village set around an oasis. He set forth on his adventures in his youth, traveling to the sea first and foremost, and on from there to the high mountains in the north for many more grand adventures.
