IC Name: Esther Reiger Age: 22
Appearance: About 5' 3" with dark skin and with eyes and puffy hair that are dark brown. Slim and unimposing. Usually wears a common peasant's dress.
Personality: Esther is a bit shy and introverted, but has a kind personality. She prefers quiet time alone to large gatherings, though she does enjoy the company of her closer friends. She goes out of her way to be helpful when she can.
Fears: the dark, overly-amorous men, public speaking, the sight of blood
Dreams: to establish a stable life for herself (and possibly marry/have children)
Backstory (Quality over quantity): An only child, Esther was born and raised in Albion to two farmers. Her family never had much, but they were relatively content with their lives working the land. She was loved and well-cared for, and learned to work hard. When she was about 10, however, her father up and left her mother and her, opting to marry into a merchant family of slightly higher rank. They often sold produce to the merchants, and her father had begun an affair with an unmarried sister of the house. They never saw him after that.
A few years later she lost her mother to consumption, and so ended up living alone on her family's plot. She enjoys farming, though the work is hard, and also took up cooking as a favorite hobby. People have told her that she has a knack for cooking, so she sometimes thinks of having a restaurant some day, possibly within an inn, but that is a far off dream.

IC Name: Jacob Boru Age: 19 Appearance: Tall, dark Haired, Green eyes, Well Toned, and straight, white teeth. he also has a large scar across his back. Personality: Honest, hard working, and usually Quiet. Fears: Jacob is very claustrophobic. He also is does not like cats very much. Dreams: Jacob dreams of becoming a good guard, just like his father. Backstory: Jacob Boru was born in a small village. he did not know his mother very much. he lived only with his dad, his three younger brothers, and their dogs. His father was a guard of the village and he taught the boys to fight and to be fair and honest. He also taught that honor was the greatest thing to have. So the boys spent their days outside the local school helping the others around the village. Jacob, being the eldest and strongest, usually helped the blacksmith and the farmers with the work that required more strength. Despite his muscles, Jacob was very smart as well. But one day when Jacob was but 14, there were a group of pillagers who stormed into the village. They were horseback and rode through, killing and setting things ablaze. Their father told them to stay indoors as he ran out to fight the intruders. Jacob was not one to be left out a fight though. He and his brothers put on some armor and took some swords, they ran out. But what they saw, was utter chaos. There were bodies everywhere, buildings burning brighter than the sun. Suddenly, some of the pillagers ran towards the brothers. They were all about the same size, them being only a few years younger than Jacob. So they fought they intruders. They were fighting valiantly when they heard a cry, their father was across the way, dying. So the brothers fought their way to their father, only two of them making it, jacob and the youngest, thomas. When they got there, their father told them one thing. he told them to fight till the bitter and and remember what he taught them. Their father died, in a fit of rage, the two brother jumped into the intruders fighting and slashing. Until, jaocb was sliced in the back with a sword. He feinted from blood loss only having enough time to see his last brother die. When he woke again, he was in an empty house in his village. he did not know who stitched his wounds, but he scavenged for supplies, and left for a new home, vowing to be as honorable as his father once was.
sorry about the little info... I wrote it hastily late at night.
Well, she was able to wander the streets at a young age, because she was always quiet and knew how to hide. For her teenage years, she spent them in farms, keeping count of the produce and using any extra produce to make food for the poor around town. After she left the farm, she decided to set out and find a new place to call home. She heard of Albion and set out to live there peacefully.
Good app Accepted of course, but i doubt there were any "Archeological Society" in Middle Ages
I suppose more of a mixed missionary and mining expedition, then. The origin for this back-story was from a looser RP I did on a server called the Serenity Archaeological Society, Where there was a Fremen Hall / guild as mentioned in my backstory and, funny enough, even an Albion trading outpost. The connection was too much for me to pass up the opportunity. I even still have the download of the "final" map, from just before the expedition moved on to a new world.
RP Query Define the following in your own words. Roleplaying: First and foremost, I consider roleplaying a combined effort. Without the cooperation of your fellow roleplayers, it can go nowhere. Roleplaying is acting out the role of a character in a certain scenario and remaining in his point of view despite out of character feelings; it is similar to acting. Roleplaying is a very fun escape and I love to spend a lot of time creating unique characters. Metagaming: Metagaming is using out of character information or feelings in character. If you know something your character does not, you cannot transfer that information to your character. Another thing to mention: Just because you are angry with someone out of character, or don’t like them out of character – you cannot transfer those feelings for someone to their character or to your own character.
Powergaming: Powergaming is forcing your will on the characters you are roleplaying with. Another way to describe it is not giving people a chance to respond to your character’s actions. For example: In an RP fight you say you grab someone by their arm. You are supposed to give them a chance to counter that move. Powergaming would be continuing without a response saying something like: “Isembert then throws the man to the ground.” – This makes roleplaying impossible because as stated: “Roleplaying is a combined effort.” OOC & IC: OOC is out of character while IC is in character.
IC Name: Isembert de Beaumont Age: 24 Appearance: An average sized man with scruffy hair and a full beard, wearing peasant clothing.
Personality: Kind, but easily swayed. He's not the most moral person, but he does have sympathy for others.
Fears: Beaumont, being a farmer, is afraid of change. While he would like to better himself, too much change scares him.
Dreams: To own a nice shop in a bustling town where he can sell his wares.
Backstory (Quality over quantity): Isembert views himself as remarkably mediocre. However, he was not the beginning of his mediocrity. Isembert was born into a father and a mother of the same farm living a mediocre life together. The generations before them did nothing more than work on their lord’s farm either; the whole Beaumont family was mediocre. Although mediocre, the family’s skill in farming seemed to have been passed down as Isembert had no problem fitting into the life and burden he was born into. All he's done is farm for his lord his whole life, nothing more. He likes farming and will continue to do so.

Personality: Usually solitary, avoids people and prefers to live in secluded areas on the edge of town, tends to avoid letting people into his life. Fears: To lose someone he cares about, therefore he avoids letting people in, to avoid getting people hurt. Dreams: He hopes that someday he will find someone who will help him forget his past, and become a part of his future. Backstory (Quality over quantity): Growing up in a family of 8 brothers and sisters as the oldest, Frantz had to fight to be fed, to have a bed, and just to generally live, however, he loved his family, so when one day, the corrupt guards of his hometown barged into his home demanding taxes be payed, when they already had been, he'd been sad to learn that while he was out working at a farm to keep his siblings and mother alive, they had been brutally raped and slaughtered by said guards, upon learning this, Frantz sought shelter with the town's hunter, who taught him to hunt, he later found the head guard who had been there the night his family died at an inn, and after an argument and a fight, he was exiled from the town for murder, so he traveled to Albion to start a new life as a hunter living on the outskirts of the town.

As he looked up from the apples, to his shock, he saw a bandit on a horse. Having hitched up the cart, the bandit dug the heel of his boot into the horse, and the horse took off with a jolt, Ryuzet still being in the cart. A few days travel later, the bandits stopped for rest. Ryuzet seized this advantage, taking a few small tools with him, who knows if he would have to survive the wilderness? Ryuzet travelled for years, city to city, coast to coast, until he dawned upon Albion.

IC Name: Bruno Peony Age: 18 Appearance: Average height male with lovely green eyes, somewhat unruly brown hair, a brown waistcoat, brown pants, and a long red jacket. Personality: Bruno has an excellent way with people-with just his voice, he could convince an army to fight for him, no matter the cause. He can sympathize with anyone, and is kind to everyone he meets. Though physically inept most times, his ability to make people like him usually takes care of tasks he needs finished. Fears: Bruno ultimately fears dying without accomplishing anything in the world worth noting. Dreams: Bruno dreams of becoming a famous noble, known to be kind to his subjects. Backstory (Quality over quantity): In Bruno's old home village, life was quiet, and though his family was not well off, they were not quite poor. Bruno lived a cozy life, with his worldly wise father teaching him some excellent people skills. Since his father was a farmer, he both understood the poor life while also living comfortably enough to be honest, seeing as a conniving and stealing lifestyle was not for him. With a shine in his eyes, and dreams in his head, he left his home town at the ripe age of 17 to travel the continent, searching for a new town to settle in and hopefully rise the ranks.

Powergaming: Making a character have superhuman abilities, or abilities that should not be available to his/her class or species. For example, a typical miner character should not be able to shoot a bow or handle a sword very well.
OOC / IC: OOC refers to out-of-character, or in-game interactions that are irrelevant to RP, such as admins organizing an event in the global chat. IC refers to any and all role-playing in the local chat.
IC
Name: Bruno Peony
Age: 18
Appearance: Average height male with lovely green eyes, somewhat unruly brown hair, a brown waistcoat, brown pants, and a long red jacket.
Personality: Bruno has an excellent way with people-with just his voice, he could convince an army to fight for him, no matter the cause. He can sympathize with anyone, and is kind to everyone he meets. Though physically inept most times, his ability to make people like him usually takes care of tasks he needs finished.
Fears: Bruno ultimately fears dying without accomplishing anything in the world worth noting.
Dreams: Bruno dreams of becoming a famous noble, known to be kind to his subjects.
Backstory (Quality over quantity): In Bruno's old home village, life was quiet, and though his family was not well off, they were not quite poor. Bruno lived a cozy life, with his worldly wise father teaching him some excellent people skills. Since his father was a farmer, he both understood the poor life while also living comfortably enough to be honest, seeing as a conniving and stealing lifestyle was not for him. With a shine in his eyes, and dreams in his head, he left his home town at the ripe age of 17 to travel the continent, searching for a new town to settle in and hopefully rise the ranks.
