Discussion: "A New Journey"

[Petrie.]

The RP is located here: http://z7.invisionfree.com/thegangoffive/i...?showtopic=8490

Make sure you put your character profile in the Character Profiles section of this subsection so all readers will know a bit about your character so you don't have to unnecessarily explain the character out in the story.


Any discussions about the role play will end up here naturally.      I haven't role played in three years, but I'm willing to try again.

Sometime or another we'll need to put a flame thrower into the story. Just a thought.  

[The Great Valley Guardian]

I'd like to join if that's alright.

[Petrie.]

Of course.  Make sure you get your character description up so anyone who joins later on will have an idea what your character is like.

Here's a link for anyone who's rusty on the Lapine terms:

We'll be using them a lot.

I might give it a try with a character whose nature would permit the character to join and leave the story again without this being implausible (in case I don't stay).

Name: Cinankhen
Outward appearance: Somewhat inconspicuous, earth colored fur (perhaps partly because his fur tends to be covered with earth and dust), lanky physics (but a relatively fast and arduous runner).
Personality: Cinankhen is a hlessi who doesn't usually stay anywhere for a long time. He is very much on guard against any attempts to make him part of a warren (in which he fears he would always end up at the bottom of the social scale due to his unimpressive physics). He holds a high suspicion against owsla members though most of the time he has the sense not to show that too distinctly when he happens to be in contact with them. One of his main philosophies is that Frith made the rabbits runners rather than fighters, that rabbits would be well advised not to strive for what they are not, but instead should make good use of those blessings which Frith bestowed on them. Because of this he dismisses the idea of permanently staying at one spot or setting up elaborate burrows. Much rather he thinks of using the swift legs Frith blessed the rabbits with to see as much as possible of Frith's world and at the same time avoid all its dangers and troubles rather than battling them. If reassured of the possibility to leave whenever he wants to Cinankhen does not avoid all company of rabbits and made the experience that his carrying of news, sometimes messages, and tales (he is rather adapt at storytelling and remembering all that he sees and hears on his journeys) may sometimes earn him a save sleeping spot for a night in a burrow. As for the other nights he does what he can to be as little visible as possible seeking whatever shelter he can find. He has found some inspiration in the ways of life of hares whom he often points out as an example when questioned about whether it is possible at all to survive for long outside any warren. On his journey he repeatedly tried (with varying success) to establish contacts with other animals which pose no thread to a rabbit. As a result he knows some of their tales and stories which are not very well known among rabbits. Being always half alert to run from whatever danger might appear he often comes across as kind of fidgety.

That'll work Malte.  In case you run into time constraints, I think the character's personality will allow him to "come and go" and not be missed for any extended length of time.

That can work for me too. It'll be nice seeing you in this, Malte

I'll be a bit late coming in this one as I haven't yet figured up a character for myself just yet. I already told Adam that I'll be catching up on my WD facts before I officially do make a character of any kind

But this is to let everyone else know that I'll definitely be in this

[AvestheForumFox]

I've decided to take on a rabbit character by the name of Darrin

as for his background? I'm still uncertain.. but once I get my facts straight I'll post a character profile asap

[The Great Valley Guardian]

I've  got my character bio right here!

Name: Mayberry

Gender: Doe

Age: 1 year

Personality: She has a major temper and is absolutely NEVER afraid to show it…which might explain why she has no friends.

Appearance: Her fur is white with a grey underbelly. She is the smallest doe in her warren but her ability to fight and vocalize her opinion is the only reason her warren recognizes her at all.

Backstory: Contrary to the standard Warren, Mayberry was the first and only Owsla captain ever in her previous warren. In order to gain this position however she literally had to fight and bad mouth her way up to through the ranks. This would also explain why the two friends she did have were Owsla guards.
Unfortunately a routine patrol ended in the death of one of the scouts in her command and as per the warren rules she was to be executed for her failures.
This obviously didn’t sit well with Mayberry who ran the first chance she got and hasn’t looked back since.

[Campion1]

Sweet! A new character, who's kinda similar to mine. Will you be appearing out of the woodwork in this?

[The Great Valley Guardian]

Yes.... yes she will.

[Campion1]

Just a note to anyone who finds my character to be mean or something: Rankin does not reflect what or how I feel personally. It's just part of his personality.  

[DarkWolf91]

Ooooh, Watership Down! I'd love to join once I read through the roleplay thread, if that's alright with you guys!

[Campion1]

That would be awesome, we'd like a character sheet if possible

[DarkWolf91]

Alright, here we go! I have another character in mind, a doe, but for now I'll go with this guy.
Hope this is alright! It's been a while since I've written up a roleplay character. I'll probably go more in depth once I get a feel for him, too, just the basics for now.

Name: Chehalem
Physical Appearance: He's a bit stocky, but average size for a buck, and well-built. Dark brown(quite dark, approaching black) with a lighter grey-brown midsection that pales out around his belly.
Personality/History: He's a little lacking in confidence and tends to be overly submissive to individuals with stronger wills, usually taking orders without question. Due to this, he has quite a history of being taken advantage of. He was in training to be a member of his birth warren's Owsla, but they were content to use him as a grunt and 'whipping boy' rather than give him any real opportunity. Unable to confront his superiors, he left home with an idealist's enthusiasm and tales of El-ahrairah burning in his mind. He had more than a few hard lessons to learn, a great deal of luck, and aid from a few good natured rabbits cleverer than he. After a brief stay at their warren, he's found himself back in transit. Not the brightest bulb in the box, but he has the heart of a dreamer and more than his fair share of courage.

[Campion1]

Oh wow, that chars gonna listen to everything arvens commands isn't he? XD

You can post RIGHT NOW if you want, I'm just waiting to see what happens. I got way more time on my hands then the others

[DarkWolf91]

Haha, probably
I actually have to get some sleep right now But I'll try to write a good introductory post tomorrow right after work call.

[DarkWolf91]

Just so you know, I haven't forgotten
Having him wandering around in the dead of night is just seeming a bit OOC. So I will certainly post soon, but I think I shall wait a little for a more appropriate moment
