Theme: Beyoncé, Dixie Chicks - Daddy Lessons

Faexis had been on the road for two nights. She had made good time, having managed to hitch a ride with a passing carriage driver, whom had taken her to Seliel City free of charge since she did not take up much room on the carriage itself and the driver's own concern over seeing a petite Gnomish woman traveling alone. The carriage arrived at Seliel City in the late afternoon. After departing from the carriage and biding the driver farewell, Faexis explored the city for a few hours, searching for an affordable tavern to stay in for the night.

Seliel City was a massive and diverse city. It was far larger than what she was used to, although the extra open-air was somewhat refreshing to her. As she walked, Faexis saw an myriad collection of individuals from a large assortment of species. She saw humans, dwarves, elves, and even a few gnomes walking through the streets, hawking wares, and socializing among each other. The little woman learned that she was in the first district of the city after speaking to a few individuals herself.

When it turned dark, Faexis decided upon staying at a building that looked like a tavern from outside. The building had a rectangular profile and was three stories tall. It was adorned with spherical lanterns outside, which glowed bright pink and blue. When she stepped inside of the building, Faexis saw a milling and diverse crowd of men and women, engaged in drinking, socializing, and other intimate activities. Many were kissing and groping each other, a sight which failed to faze the little Gnome. As long as it was an affordable establishment, she could ignore many of the intimate activities that went on behind the scenes if she chose to.

As she was by far the smallest person that she saw, Faexis took extra care to watch out for kicking and moving legs in the close quarters of the room. It was not until she arrived at the front counter when she realized that she had walked into a brothel, rather than a tavern. She paused briefly when this thought came upon her, however, she  decided to linger for a few minutes, out of carnal curiosity, if anything.

Since she could not see over the counter on her two feet, Faexis climbed onto a nearby chair and stood on top of it. The woman behind the counter had white hair and pink eyeshadow over her eyes. Two white horns sprouted from the sides of her head, which sloped upward and laterally. Although she was unsure of the woman's species, Faexis greeted the woman with a soft smile before speaking.

"Excuse me miss, Is this a tavern or a brothel?", Faexis said, speaking in a soft and melodic voice.

Name: Faexis
Age: 18
Gender: Woman
Species: Eryn Gnome
Appearance:

Height
2'2"
Weight
24 Lbs.
Measurements
13.20C-11.56-20.63

Like all of her species, Faexis is diminutive and small. In spite of her diminutive height, Faexis’s physical profile is highly feminine, ample, and thick. The most distinctive features of her form include her plump and protruding rear, thick thighs, and an overly large bosom.

Faexis has dark brown skin with warm, golden undertones. She normally wears her cyan hair in a vertical and tall ponytail. Her hair frames a heart-shaped facial shape, with wide cheekbones, an angular jawline, and a pointy, but not overly prominent chin. Her green eyes are very wide set and doe-like, framing a delicate nose and distinctively plump lips.

Faexis has long, elf like ears. Her eyebrows are semicircular (11) shaped and are of a darker cyan shade than her hair.

Personality:

Faexis has a fiercely loyal and vacuous personality. Although disciplined, she rarely thinks things through and often takes orders literally. Faexis is motivated by her desire to please her superiors through any means necessary. She has little in the way of goals (as of yet), although she craves praise material and rewards. As a hard-working young woman, she has a habit of overworking herself to the point of exhaustion, to the detriment of her health. She is also somewhat doting and touchy-feely, often to a disturbing and highly sexual extent.

Faexis is patient and cool-tempered, although prone to anger when she feels deprived of material rewards or acclaim.

Abilities: 

Athletics
Faexis is a natural and well-trained athlete. She is incredibly fleet of foot, agile, and graceful. However, she is also a strong and high leaper, with the ability to leap to heights over six times her size.
Magic
Faexis is proficient in telekinesis. However, she can not manipulate the movements of external objects that weigh more than she could carry herself.

History: 

Faexis has no memory of her past. She was brainwashed in a freak accident by an untrained mage, and as a result ran from her family and friends, quickly finding herself homeless and lonely. Although Faexis retained her practical knowledge and language skills, she has no memory of her past life, family, or friends, to the point where she does not realize that she was brainwashed.

Roleplay Sample:

Faexis woke up with a violent shudder, her body convulsing and shaking with nervous energy. She took a few cursory glances around at her surroundings, which were pitch black and cloaked under darkness. As she sat up on her bed, the Gnomish woman pondered how she had arrived at the bed in the first place. It was then that the few memories that she had came rushing back into thought.

Only a few hours before, she had been surrounded by individuals who had called her family. She had been referred to as "Faexis" and was fed dinner after the episode. Her "family" had been talking to her quite frantically the entire time, repeating their names and her own name. She had learned the names of most of them, but many had escaped her. However, the ugliness began when she realized that she was already supposed to know the names of everyone there.

There had been a massive verbal altercation, targeted at one particular member of the "family". In the meantime, Faexis had been sent to bed. A woman called "Venroe" had sung to her before she fell asleep, saying that the song had been her favorite when Faexis was a little girl. In truth, Faexis did find the song to be comforting and lulling. However, it did little to alleviate her discomfort at being surrounded by faces who claimed to be her family, of whom she had no recollection of.

Thinking these events over and more, Faexis stepped out of bed and walked slowly out of the bedroom. Clad in little more than a shift dress, she entered the room where the argument had taken place. It was empty now, with everyone having gone to bed, evidently tired from the events that occurred. She explored the house for a few minutes, entering the kitchen, commons areas, and closets. After exploring, she returned to the room where she had woken up before.

After fumbling in the dark for a few moments, Faexis lit the candle on her bedside, granting her a small measure of visibility. It was just enough for her to enter her own closet and to see a collection of clean clothes, a backpack, a few towels, and some cash. These were the possessions that Venroe had said belonged to Faexis, and no one else.

If they were hers, could she take them?

It was not a difficult question to resolve. Setting the candle down, Faexis took the backpack out of the closet, opened it, and began to stuff it with clothes, random possessions, and cash. She changed out of her shift dress and into a hooded black tunic with leggings underneath. After strapping on a pair of black boots, Faexis sealed and tied the backpack before securing it to her back. Faexis did not close the door behind her as she left her room, not wanting to disturb anyone's slumber. When she entered the kitchen, another question came to mind.

Was the food in the kitchen hers?

The "family" had fed her, free of charge the night before. She could not recall if they had done so before that. However, she had been allowed to eat as much as she had wanted during dinner, including second portions, dessert, and drink. The Gnome rationalized that she could take some food for herself as well. However, she took care not to take too much from the cabinets. She took just enough for a few nights on the road, and little more than that.

Once she left the kitchen, Faexis walked quietly around the large, maze-like house, searching for an exit of some kind. After searching for a few minutes, she found an exit. However, it took her a few more minutes to undo the complex locking mechanism on the door.

As she opened the door, her eyes were beset with an gray, early dawn sky. The sun was not out yet. However, there was a faint hint of orange in the distance, indicating that it's rise was imminent. Faexis stepped outside, closing the door behind her and staring out at the streets of the maze-like city. The streets were nearly deserted, with very few people active at this hour of the morning.

She did not know what awaited her outside of the house or the city itself. However, the reverse was true as well. Who were those people who had called her "Faexis", "daughter", "family", or "sister"? If anything, they were foreign faces, with the only similarity being in species and ethnicity. She had no compunctions about leaving. If anything, the house had felt more like a prison to her, in the few hours she could remember staying there. It was an easy decision, and one she was certain that she would not regret.

With fast and uncertain steps, Faexis walked away from the house and into the streets. She did not turn back.

Setting: Chortari lands near a branch of the Kiriel river
Time: Current
Weather: cloudy above

bic:

The sky was clear that morning, but now the clouds were slowly rolling in. They were long, dark and seemed to hint at a coming storm. It was too soon to call it a day for a light rain. The storm didn't seem to bad, just a bit dark, it wasn't threats of a danger as bad as a tornado, but rain. Just a lot of rain. Thunder rolled in the distance coming in intervals of minutes. It was still far out.

The river could be heard in the distance as with grazing animals. They were getting water before they would go and hide for fear of the storm. They soon would want to be away from the storm. No matter how large or small none of them seemed to want to be out if it was raining. However, the wolf didn't mind. The rain meant nothing to him. It could storm, hail, winds howl, and he would be fine. He didn't mind dragging a deer out into the open and eating it under the fury of nature. He waited there though. He wasn't going to go towards all the prey drinking water until his child came. He was going to watch her hunt. His own teeth ached with bloodlust, but she was becoming an adult soon. He wanted to make sure she was ready for that leap at least.

His silver eyes blinked and he shook out his pelt. What else could he do? He knew he wasn't an ideal father. He didn't really fit the part at all, but he would try this small thing for her. He wanted to make sure she could survive and past that... He didn't know. He was sure she learned to hunt. He had made sure people would help her. He was their leader... He didn't have time for soft loving time. He had to be hard. He had to be the leader they needed cruelty and all. Amon was away. This would be a private moment for them. He would give her that. A small time with him that was undisturbed. 

It was time to discuss the future.

Wanna suggest a species, but aren't sure how to go about it? Well here's the place to do it!

This is our species template, which we use in the guidebook! Feel free to fill in the basics, or go as detailed as you want! You're also free to leave anything blank, like worshiped gods and history--staff can fill in what's left.

New role player on the forums. Scary thought I know, but any how seeing how I am new I thought I would drop by and introduce myself. So, hello, I look forward to seeing you all about the forums.

<h3><div class="h3-underline">News and Updates</div></h3>
We hope you guys have enjoyed yourself this past month with our Nights of Corruption! Staff is sorry that it was a bit more scarce due to mainly of us getting sick, but we'll make it up to you! We have some new features and surprises for you guys, so look out! One of the new features is your avatar link will now link to your profile so you can get to it a lot easier!

<h3><div class="h3-underline">October-Related Events Extended!</div></h3>
Due to staff being sick for most of the month, we have decided to extend the Nights of Corruption until November 14th. The Graveyard is now open and will be open until the end of the month, so make sure to cash in your feathers! Because we also weren't able to get to everything we wanted, we also have a few new species that were ready for release through the games.

The first is our October-exclusive species, the Bugbears! Go check out their page to read up on them. Again, since we didn't get around to it in time, they will be available all of November and then will not be able to be created until next October. The second is the addition of the Undead curse! Unlike Bugbears, these are available all year around with the other creepy curses such as Banshees and the Wendigos. All of these were done by the wonderful Kila <3

<h3><div class="h3-underline">Welcome our Newest Admin!</div></h3>

Speaking of @Kila ... Please welcome her to the admin team as a new Monarch! She's been working hard all the time to help provide the best new stuff for our member-base and we could not do it all without her. Go congratulate her! <3

<h3><div class="h3-underline">New Alert System !</div></h3>
Some of you may have noticed this installed not too long ago if you checked your User Control Panel recently. We have installed a new alert system that is located between the User CP and Threadlog. This will alert you if you have subscribed to a thread, if someone has posted in a thread you started, you have been quoted, or mentioned which brings us to this new update. You can now mention people! Simply type "@" followed by their username and they will be alerted through this new system. You can control these settings through the User CP.
 
<h3><div class="h3-underline">New Character List !</div></h3>
You guys asked and we have delivered! The character list has been updated to now be organized by species rather than the users. You can choose the species at the top by letter and it will scroll down to that species. The species are then further separated into their subspecies such as dragons are broken into eastern, western, wyverns, and sea serpents. We have also updated the Names Taken list to reflect all new characters. This will force everyone to use their character profiles to now list your characters if you would like others to be able to find them easier. Below is the code you can you to link your characters.

The night air blows through the woods, leaving a spine-chilling feeling through all who enter. As a gate comes into view, there lays the graves of the dead; each perfectly lined up in little rows. A crow caws from the top of the gate, signaling someone has come. As it caws once more, the avian flaps its wings to take off further into the graveyard. It soon lands nearby what appears to be... a massive crow! It sits perched on top of the large gravestone, though this bird is like no originally bird. In place of a face is a skull with no eyes and a few missing feathers.

"I see you have found me," The bird chimed with a crackle-like voice. "My mistress will be pleased to see you return those feathers. In exchange, you may take any of the items you see before you. The more valuable the prize, the more feathers it will require."

Character's Name: Ai 

Nicknames: None 

Age: 333

Gender: Female
 
Species: Kitsune 

Abilities:  kitsunebi, and illusions 

Appearance:


(Pinterest no artist listed)

5'8" Of average height and with a slightly slender build. She has blue-black hair in masses and it often times is the feature which most stands out upon casual inspection of her. She tends to wear it in a loose braid to keep it out of her way, however, when in more formal settings she tends to wear it down. Her features while pleasant are not classically beautiful. She has rather defined features and is long-limbed with long fingers and toes which serve to make her motions more graceful than they might be with another woman. Her eyes are a light brown appearing to be amber in the right light. She will outline them in yellows to make the colors more noticeable.

Personality:
Somewhat of an introvert when left to her own devices. She also tends to be serious although she possesses a small sense of humor if she feels comfortable with the company she is in. She dislikes conflict and will do what she can to prevent it as far as it concerns her. She tends to hold loyalty in high regard and will often time remain loyal to a fault unless she is proved otherwise and even then she might not completely leave them to their fate. Her introvert can make her perhaps too timid at times. 
History: (If requested or needed to explain the power behind a character)

Roleplay Sample: 
Ai adjusted her black hood, the damp weather made her glad she had decided to wear it, there were other reasons as well of course. She still felt out of place in her clothing a black shirt and pants along with black leather boots, chosen to allow her to blend in with the crowd. But, Glawrien was used to silks and jewelry. However, her simply braided hair and dark bruise decorating her left cheek, it was starting to swell and rather large taking up most of her face. She had other wounds as well but this one was most noticeable upon casual inspection. She took a moment to steady herself before moving down the street, her hand resting on a wall as the world spun briefly, she was aware that was not a good thing, but not altogether unheard of for some on with a blow to the head. Her ribs were aching as much her head, causing breathing to be as painful as thinking was at the moment.



She did her best to move down the street as a normal person might. She was fairly certain she wasn't being followed by this point, but she wasn't entirely sure.That fact alone was what kept her moving forward. There something in her favor, however, most people who were out at this time of night were more wrapped in their own affairs and it was very easy to over a lone woman in the street. For most of them at least. She was also aware those who might notice her in the middle of the night might not have her best interests in mind. Not only that they might have followed her, she was the only one who made it out as far as she knew, she was counting on herself traveling faster than news did.


Ai's vision was starting to swim however, that and nausea forming in the pit of her stomach told her she clearly needed to find a doctor/healer sooner rather than later. In some corner of her mind, she hoped it was simply the lack of sleep getting to her and nothing more serious. She had fled headlong for most of the night, and the lack of rest certainly wasn't going to work in her favor. Regardless of what it was that was affecting her, she stumbled for a moment before catching herself and moving forward. She didn't manage to get much further however, a lifetime without much need for psychical strain was working against her, the world spun for the last time and Glawrien spilled ungracefully forward as her vision finally faded into nothingness.
