The land of Karine has long been a peaceful place, the Light elves to the south and the Dark Elves to the north, to the west the Dragons and humans (Let them have their fun,) and the dwarves and goblins to the west, in the mountains. But all is not well.

The dark elves are not peaceable by nature (1). The fact that they have been shunted into the icy, dark northern regions does not help things. The Light elves, to the south, have all the oases, waterfalls, fertile lands, forests, and plump game they need, with much to spare.

'So,' the Dark elf king decided, 'Why not make them share?'

From there, the story differs in the history books. The Dark elves insist that they sent an ambassador to the court to try and get some supplies sent north, while the Light elves firmly believe that the Dark elves attacked suddenly and without reason. However, it does not matter, since the result was the same.

War broke out. The Light elves against the Dark. Dwarves selling to both sides, while the Humans and Dragons looting whatever they could find.

When will the chaos end? And by whom?


(1) Then again, neither are humans, but they're kept busy by their dragon 'friends.'



Rules: No kicking, no hitting, no flirting (explicitly), no fighting (Without consent.) Also, no swearing. **** it out if you have to. Major events are sent in place by me or with my consent. You can put more than one character. Three per person is the limit.

Profile:

Name: (first, last, and nickname if you have one.)

Race: (Light elf, Dark elf, human, or dwarf. Goblins are pretty much mindless pets, incase you're going to ask.)

Rank: (Merchant, farmer, solidier, noble, w/e. Royal family is allowed, but not advised.)

Appearance: (Do your best to describe, and if you have a picture, PUT A LINK!!!)

Weapons: (...What more can I say. Just one note: A three foot tall dwarf is not going to be carrying around a seven foot broadsword. Neither is an elf, for that matter. No guns. Too complicated: Ammo and all that.)

History: (If you've forgotten it, say so. If you haven't, put it anyway, even if your person doesn't talk about it.)

Attitude: (What makes you angry? What makes you soft? What makes you laugh?)

Name: Alyssa Hughes

Race: Dark Elf

Rank: She thinks she could be called a 'Mercenary,' but she prefers the term 'Hired Soldier.'

Appearance: Nobody think much of Alyssa. She wears a simple blue tunic that comes down to her knees and elbows, dark blue pants, wide enough to be skirts, underneath, and a belt(1). Her brown hair is always hanging freely, too thick to be tied without looking completely idiotic. Dark blue eyes, almost purple, are always laughing unless she's pissed off. And having to fight pisses her off. Like all Dark elves, she has really pale skin from the climate. Also like all Dark elves, the cold doesn't bother her, and never has.

Weapons: (1) On that thin leather belt hangs a simple metal fan, covered by a cap. The fan is all black, not even shiny, and impossible to see in the dark. She can cut through branches with no effort, the curved blades are so sharp. She likes them that way, keeping them from cutting herself with a cap made especially for her.

History: Alyssa was born to a Dark elf family of three, making her the fourth. Her older brother and herself were taught martial arts by their mother, who, herself, was once a 'Hired Soldier.' Alyssa has seen enough death that blood doesn't make her faint, but she still doesn't hang around battlefields long. She says that it's because someone would smell the stink, but it's really because it reminds her too much of the time her brother was caught with a knife at a parade. The guards sent him home in a bag...

Attitude: She's an unusually cheerful person, able to laugh off any insult, as long as it is to herself. Even HINT about anyone else, however, and you'll be tossed through three walls and a cart full of pickles for your trouble before you can finish the sentence. If anyone mentions family, she goes silent and waits for the subject to change.




Name: Ryuuzaki Lawliet, known as 'Eru.' (Yes, the rabid fangirl has bitten me...)(His nickname is pronounced "Eh-Lu")

Race: Dark elf

Rank: 'Hired Soldier'

Appearance: He walks with a slouch, with his hands in his pockets. They are probably wrapped around his throwing stars, so don't mess with him. He wears a plain, long sleeves white shirt that he always washes right after a battle, so the blood doesn't sink in. His hair is black, and hasn't been washed in a long time. Ever since Alyssa met him, it hasn't been washed to her knowledge at all, or cut, or combed. It hasn't gotten any longer, though, still looking like a teenager's who just rolled out of bed. Even his eyes look like he was asleep a moment ago, black rings circling them. The eyes themselves are grey.

Weapons: His throwing stars are just as deadly as Alyssa's fan, and he has an even longer range with them. He can hit a mark 200 yards off, and with twenty-odd stars in his pocket, three in his boots, five hidden up his sleeves, that makes... somewhere are 30 dead people.

History: His history is pretty sad, so I won't say much. He is an orphan, who has been wandering around the Capital City for all his life. He learned anything worth knowing either from there or from Alyssa, whom he tried to rob. Somehow (Neither of them are sure,) he ended up traveling with her.

Attitude: Usually calm, he almost never shows any emotion on his face. He likes sweets, and is underweight from his orphan-hood. Anyone that makes Alyssa uncomfortable will probably be thrown through two walls and a cart full of chickens. Right after Alyssa throws the person through three walls and a cart of pickles.

Name: Asmeria Sophia Lafiel

Race: Light Elf

Rank: Rogue/Bodyguard for hire(if that's allowed)

Appearance:
Asmeria
She wears a black Cami that stops above her bellybutton. She also wears blue jean shorts with matching Greek like sandals. She has a red bandanna tied around her neck and her hair is up in a messy bun most of the time. A black studded belt is hooked around her narrow waist. She stands at 5'6" and has a slim, athletic figure.
She carries around a wooden flute that she likes to play when she is bored. She also uses it to calm and control her dragon.

Weapons: Two Ebony daggers, black bow and arrows,

History: Asmeria grew up in a small village near the mountains. Her parents were semi-noble. She was treated like a princess in her village. But one day a war broke out with a rival village. Her parents fought in the war and her father was slain. Her mother in a fit of grief attacked her, thinking she had something to do with his death. Asmeria was confused and her mother told her to leave the village. Asmeriia refused and her mother convinced the surviving villagers that she was the one that led the enemy to their village. She was shunned and run out of the village.

Now Asmeria waders alone, taking requests to be hired as a bodyguard for a certain price. She can fend for herself mostly. But is in desperate need of money. She wanders from village to village searching for work. She could care less about the war since she has more important things to do. But she will enlist if she is desperately needed. One day she discovered an egg tucked into a oak tree. The egg was a deep crimson color. She took the egg and within a few days, it hatched and Orpheous was born. Orpheous is her protector and companion. Orpheous is black with a red underbelly, underwings, and eyes. He has a long spike and a smaller spike on his nose and four spikes on the tip of his tail. He is always by her side.



Attitude: Asmeria is basically stoic. She hardly shows any emotions. She's quiet most of the time but has a heart of gold. She'd do anything to protect the one's she loves. She is a strong person. You will never see her cry. She has an innocent side that shows when someone or herself is in danger. She's a very stubborn person and can hold a nasty grudge. For the most part she's relaxed and laidback. She mostly speaks in a bored, uninterested tone. She always looks sleepy and her eyes are half closed, like the eyelids conceal part of her eyes. She is mostly seen lounging on the job. She is the type to sleep through anything. If she's bored with something, she won't deal with it. She'll just move on.

(Might I join?)

O.O Dare I say it... That profile is almost better than mine... Of course! PM me if you need me to tell you what my characters will be doing or stuff so we'll meet.

Alyssa sat at a table outside, sipping a cup of water and picking at the steaming bun in front of her.
'Where is he... Does he usually sleep in like this? I wish he would hurry up...' She complained silently while tearing off a piece of the bread and ate it slowly. The bun was delicious.
Ryuuzaki stumbled outside, looking for all the world like a maniac escaped from prison. He sat in the chair next to her, his feet apart and resting his head in his hands(1).
"Good morning," Alyssa chirped. She smiled.
Ryuuzaki glared at the ground beneath his feet. "Morning."
"Not a good morning, I see." Alyssa reached over to the table next to her, putting a bun similar to her own in front of him. "That's why I got this."
Ryuuzaki glared at it as well, then noted that the outside was shiny, baked with sugar. He tore off part of it and chewed it, testing it. Then he ate the rest in four large bites.
"Let's try it again now. Good Morning!" Alyssa grinned at him.
Ryuuzaki blinked at her. "Morning." He repeated stubbornly.
Alyssa didn't comment on it. As soon as Ryuu stopped glaring at her in the mornings, it was good enough for her.

~Asmeria~

A young girl sat under the shade of a tall, oak tree. She let out a sigh as she focused on sharpening the tip of one of her arrows. A large red and black dragon rested beside her, crimson eyes focused on her, watching her like a guard. She smiled at the dragon and went back to sharpening her arrow. She finished up and set it back in the deerskin pouch. She sighed again and flicked a few strands on her pale blond hair out of her vivid pink eyes. Her gaze shifted toward a table not far from where she sat. She watched a pair sit and eat at the table. She looked back down at the pouch and slid a wooden flute out of it. Orpheous, her dragon, raised his head and watched her press the flute to her lips. She blew softly and a soft tune erupted from it. It was a gentle melody that her mother taught her before that night. It was known to have a calming, almost relaxing effect. It was practically a lullaby. She closed her eyes as she played. Orpheous let out a low growl in satisfaction. The breeze teased her hair, making it whip to the side of her. She had long hair. Her hair reached the small of her back. She continued to play, the melody being carried away on the breeze. It was almost eerie.

Alyssa closed her eyes, sighing. "So, where to next?" She asked.
"Who knows. Where is a place where we might not get mixed into the war?" Ryuuzaki replied.
Alyssa sighed again, this time in annoyance. "I have no clue."
A melody drifted over the air. She knew the tune. She also knew the song that accompanied the tune, but wasn't about to sing it. People didn't usually like it when someone sang to their own private music.
Alyssa and Ryuuzaki looked over. They saw the dragon first. Ryuuzaki nearly fell out of his chair. Alyssa's eyes brightened with curiosity. Then they saw the girl with the flute.
She was a warrior, they knew that from first glance. The dragon... Well, that was a dragon. At the second glance they noticed the way her whole body was relaxed, not ready for a fight, and how all her weapons weren't in all that easy a reach. She wasn't drawing attention to herself to fight someone. That happened sometimes.
Alyssa settled back in her chair, finishing off her bun.

Din-din time for Vo!

Resa: :chidorisd: Why you talk in third person, Vo?

Vo: Because I FEEL LIKE IT!!! *tosses Resa into mental dungeon*

Resa: *sniffle* I'm sorry, I'm sorry....

Alyssa: Calm down. Vo gets like this when her blood sugar's low.

Me: GIve me twenty minutes.

I feel much better with a bowl of noodles sitting next to me!

...It's... so quiet...

Alyssa: Yeah. And Vo really wants to post again, since she loves her own idea.

Ryuu: She also just likes to post.

Alyssa: That too.

GRAWR
I shall join! : D
BTW: You might not want to talk within your topic, just save it for like, when your posting for your person... [sorry, brain dead, try to make sense of that ><] some people don't like it. [coughHBcough]
My fingers are cold..

Name: Shikiru

Nickname: Ru.

Race: Light elf.

Age: 18

Rank: Farmer, but went off to teh war.

Appearance: Ru

Weapons: 2 foot long sword! : D

History: When Ru was 7 and his sister 5, their parents were killed in a fire. The neighbors tried to help them, but Ru harshly rejected them and told them he could take care of everything. After that, Ru took care of both the farm and his little sister, Kuuki. When the war broke out, Ru agrees to fight. Kuuki is still trying to con him not to go, but it isn't working, and Ru is still ready to leave. [If the war going on, or is it about to start or what?]

Attitude: Ru is rather cold, and often keeps to himself. Hardly ever talks, and people often jokingly, ask if he is a dark elf. They... usually land in a tomato stall 10 feet away.

Name: Kuuki

Race: Light elf

Age: 16

Rank: Farmer

Apperance: Kuuki

Weapons: Doesn't enjoy fighting, but has a dagger to defend herself.

History: Same as Ru's pretty much, just take out the going out to war part. Kuuki is also trained with herbs, and if oftened approached about healing and stuff.. Like a herbilist. Her brother doesn't agree with her being that, saying she should keep the family farm, but she ust counter attacks that with the fact hes leaving for war.

Attitude: Kuuki has an outgoing persoanlity. But is a very good listener, and always has the time the hear you out. She is a kind, and caring girl, but also loves to goof around, and have some fun. Has a soft heart, and always has the time for someone in need. Often brings home hurt animals, much to her brothers distatse.

Rar.
Post later when brain no hurty. :3

((I'll join later; I feel like I am going to be sick. Bye guysss...))

Yay! People join! Thankies!

Yay! More people join! Sorry, I'm just a bit hyper right now...

Eeps! Sorriez! The war has been going on for quite some time, and it is by no means a secret war. It's been going on just long enough to make both sides actually fighting get a little desperate for soldiers.

[Alrighty then!]

Kuuki-

I sighed, then stuck my tongue in distress. Since my brother left for war, I had to do EVERYTHING. Deal with the crops, sell them at the market, take care of the animals...
At the moment, I was dealing with the chickens, trying to find all the eggs.
Little buggers enjoy hiding them.
Putting a piece of hair behind my ear, I continued my search.

Sorry, just had to say that... Lolz, I'm glad I don't have to deal with chickens!

Ryuuzaki sighed, bored. Alyssa sighed as well, both mocking him and telling him that she was bored as well.
"So, where to?" He asked.
"The road?" Alyssa asked back.
"The road," He confirmed, standing. Alyssa left a coin on the table, and started for the gates of the city. Another one of the changes the war had brought. Long ago, walls were for show-offs. Now if you don't have them, you're inviting trouble into your town by way of many Light elves with swords and magic.
"I wonder..." Alyssa mused.
L waited.
"I wonder how the war started, and why it's still continuing, even now. Many years have past, and by now I think the war made our state here worse. If you're not a farmer now, there's a good chance you'll starve, and if you are, there's an even greater chance of being burned by Light elves and the government alike. It's stupid."
"Stupid, yet we still make money killing the odd farmer here and there," Ryuuzaki completed her thought.
"Exactly. We aren't even hired right now!" Alyssa complained.

~Asmeria~

I watched the pair for a minute more, then stood up. I flicked a few strands of my flaxen hair out of my eyes and looked to Orpheous. He let out a low growl and stood too. I smirked and ran up and hopped up onto his back. I swung my leg over and wrapped my arms around his neck. He stretched out his long, thirteen foot wingspan and in seconds we were airborne. I looked down at the two that were miles down and smirked. I was in no mood for socializing, so I decided to get out of there before I was confronted. "Let's go, Orpheous." I yelled. He looked back at me with blazing, crimson eyes and smirked in his own dragon way. "As you wish, Lady Asmeria" He thought back. We speak through telepathy. He looked ahead and in a flash we were off toward the country side. I was sick of the urban life. I needed to explore before I went insane. I was well aware of the War going on. I was a Rogue. I had no interest in fighting for a certain group of people. My services were only used for being hired as a Bodyguard, not a mere brainwashed drone of a warrior. I rolled my vivid pink eyes at the thought and Orpheous dropped out of the sky. I held on tighter and we landed just outside a field. I slid off his back and stood beside him, my hand resting on the two holsters on each of my hips. I scanned the area, making sure nothing was out of place and no one was in hiding. It seemed safe, but one could never be too sure.

Ryuuzaki whistled. "D*~**."
"What?" Alyssa asked. Then she looked up. "We already saw that dragon, remember?"
"Yes, but... Flying still looks cool." He shrugged.
"It does," Alyssa agreed, "It really does. Well, I'm officially bored of walking."
"We haven't even been walking ten minutes. We can still see the city from here!" Ryuuzaki exclaimed. Alyssa was the most fickle person!
"Yes, but that doesn't mean walking is fun. Where did we leave our horses?" Alyssa asked.
"What horses? We sold them, remember?"
Alyssa cursed. "Eru, sometimes I want to through you through two walls and a scarecrow."
"But if you did, I would just get back up and run." Ryuuzaki said wisely.
"And that's why I want to kill you."

Name: Taj
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Race: Light elf
Rank: Theif
Appearance: Taj
He's very lithe, with a lean build. He wears no shirt, and has on brown tattered pants that end mid shin. He lost his shoes while wading in a river.
Weapons: He carries around a few daggers he stole.
History: While his older brother, Dom, was rejected by his family, Taj was protected and loved. His brother tried to kill him several times when he was younger. When Taj was suppsed to join the army with Dom, he refused and was disowned by his family. He resorted to stealing to get what he needs, and has no real family anymore. He and Dom are on better terms now that they had practically switched places in their fathers heart.
Attitude: Taj is very playful and friendly, despite not having anything, the very opposite of his older brother Dom.

Name: Dom LeFurl
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Race: Light elf
Rank: Soldier
Apperance: Dom
His hair and eyes are the smae as Taj's. He wears standard military uniform.
Weapons: Long sword, and a dagger hiden in his boots.
History: Dom's mother died while giving birth, so his father blamed him for his wife's death. Dom was always lonely, and was never loved by his father. When his father's new wife gave birth to Taj, it was obvious Taj was well liked and prized while Dom was shunned by his family. Then, the war broke out. Dom joined the army, and when Taj was old enough, he rufused to. Taj was disowned by his father and was left for dead. Dom is now his father's favourite. He and Taj occasionally see each other; sometimes Dom will give his younger brother some money and a new set of clothes. They've grown closer from being further apart.
Attitude: Dom is serious and cold. He is nothing like Taj. Dom has a human fiancée, Aura.

Name: Aura Foster
Age: Nearly 18
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Rank: Her family is of rich merchants
Appearance: Aura
Weapons: She has no need for weapons.
History: She was born into a family of rich merchants, so she has lived a rather comfortable life. All the males who are old enough in her family are off to the war, helping whichever side they feel like joining. She met Dom while selling her wares, mostly imported unique ornaments from various places. Dom visited everyday and eventually they fell in love. A few weeks before Dom joined the war, he proposed to Aura and she excitedly agreed.
Attitude: She is essential the opposite of Dom, warm and innocent. She balances him out, one of the reasons why he likes her so.

Yay! People! Welcome aboard, Dom and Taj!

-Dom-
I reread the letter from Aura a hundred times, and it always seems to make everything better. Her parents approved of our soon to be wedding. It made me so happy, although I would dare to show it in front of anyone but her.

I folded the worn note in my pocket, and stood up. It was time for inspection. I marched out of the room, waiting. We had to show no emotion, stay in a strict line, shoulder to shoulder. Everything had to be perfect. One wrong thing could mean disaster for you.

I inwardly sighed, wondering what I had done, joining the army. But then I thought about how I was keeping my people safe -- keeping Aura safe --. It made things bareable.

-Taj-
I sat on a high fence post, looking over the city. I was getting hungry, but then again, I'm always hungry. I nimbly lept down onto my feet and began to roam around the streets. A few shops in the market were being set up. When a rather large lady turned around, I took a few slices of bread from her. I hastily sprinted away before she could notice me.

I savoured every bit it, prolonging the food's existance until I could hardly stand it. It was gone in seconds.

Alyssa and Ryuuzaki walked for a few more miles before stopping and listening.
"A... bugle?" Alyssa whispered.
Ryuuzaki understood her fright. Dark elf armies did not use bugles. Light elf armies did. And although his country hadn't done more than be a place for his orphan-hood, he loved it. And he did not love Light elves, especially their military.
"From the forest," He whispered back. On this part of the border, the two countries were seperated by a large forest, a blind spot on both side's maps. "Should we see what's happening?"
Alyssa nodded, and slipped ahead, making no noise, though the ground was thick with dead leaves and branches. Winter was coming, alright.
Ryuuzaki lept after her, trying to follow in her footsteps. She knew where to step, he didn't.

Kuuki-

Ugh.
I hate those stupid chickens. After about a half hour of searching, I managed to find all the eggs.
As I left the cage I yelled at them "OH YEAH? WELL WIPE THAT SMIRK OFF YOUR FACE CAUSE I WILL SO KILL YOU ALL NEXT TIME THAT HAPPENS!"
Look at me, I have restorted to yelling threats at chickens. Even though I know, they will continue to be jerks. Probably because they know I can't kill them
Stupid animals.
I sighed. Then pouted.
Today was market day, and, oh joy, I get to go to the market, and worry if whether or not my farm would still be there.
Blah.

Alyssa suddenly stopped in her tracks. Ryuuzaki stopped just short of bumping into her, listening.
"OH YEAH? WELL WIPE THAT SMIRK OFF YOUR FACE CAUSE I WILL SO KILL YOU ALL NEXT TIME THAT HAPPENS!"
Alyssa looked back at him. He shrugged, and looked in the direction the noise came from. Body language for, "Why not check it out?"
They changed course. Maybe a spy was being threatened? A soldier being punished? Or maybe a farm girl yelling at chickens?
Alyssa snorted. 'No, that last one's too ordinary.'

Kuuki-

I began to hum a tune under my breath. Walking towards the sheep. At least they love me, sheep were my favorite, while the chickens, my brother's.
I just hoped my brother would be back for when we had to shear the sheep, or i'd have to ask the neighbor and, shudder, no one wants that.
At least, I don't.
Man freaked me out...

Yawning, I stretched in the sun, and reached over towards my bag.
"Foo-oood..." I grumbled, and searched my bag for anything edible. To no avail.
"Not eating for three days...CAN NOT be good for you..."
"Sister!! Sister, a girl is yelling at chickens!" came the cry of Kiki, my littlest sister, from behind me. I jumped, and hurriedly tugged at my kimono, which was mid-calf length, and had a split in the sides. It was freshly died red, and I glared at my hand, which now looked bloody.
Wonderful wonderful WONDERFUL...I thought, and sighed, flipped my fan in front of my face, and batted my eyelashes over my amber eyes.
Time for charm...I thought, flicked a strand of hair away from my face, stood, and studied my long legs.
Yup, charming should work...
I strode down the hill I was on and towards a rucus I heard.

((I'll put the pic in my sig. It'll be the second pic, not the flying girl!))

((Anyway, this is what my person looks like.))

http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh6/Pup...odiacDragon.jpg

Sorry if im a bother, but may I join?

No bother, we haven't completely started ((I don't think...))...ask Vo

Kuuki-

I was totally unware, that in around 5 minutes, 4 people would be coming into my little ol' farm asking what the hell was going on.
Because, at the moment, I was feeding my dear sheep and cows. Not dear cows, they enjoy smacking me in the back of the head with their tails. But they were the most valuable thing on our farm, so I had to grin and bear it.
As I walked towards them, I could swear they were smiling.
"Oh yeah? Well.Screw.You.To!"

I laughed, and walked forward, clapping.
"Well, I think you hurt that cows feelings, ma'am. Anyway, how do you do?? I'm but a humble merchant, can you help me? I think I've lost my way..."
Suddenly, Kiki tackled into my legs, sending me tumbling into a sheep. It kicked me in the head, and I blacked out.

Ryuu reached into his pocket, then stopped. "Oh. False alarm."
Alyssa sighed, heaving the unconscious one onto her back. "Jeez, yelling at chickens..." She muttered, testing the bruise. It didn't feel broken, thank... (insert deity here).

Kuuki-

I rubbed the back of my head in a embarrassed motion. I didn't know that people were around the area, and apparently they heard me yelling at my chickens...
"Bring her inside my house." I said to the girl carrying the other girl.

Ryuu blinked and turned to Alyssa. "When exactly did we get here? We must be fast!"


No, just kidding!


Ryuu blinked and turned to Alyssa. "Why do we always stop to HELP people?"
"Because we can. And besides, I'm the one always helping people, and what I say goes!"
Ryuu scowled at her before picking up the girl's feet and helping Alyssa carry her inside, both trying to avoid being tripped up by the young girl running around their feet.

-Taj-
I walked around the twon a few times. There were a bit more people than normal, so I would have to wait to eat for a few hours. I sighed and leaned against a wall. Maybe I should just go to random farms and take some of their crops. I shrugged and sat down, pulling my knees to my chest.
