    Hmm thought I might give this Self made RPG thing a try. I was thinking somewhere along the lines of an after life sorta thingy. Maybe the characters die in the start. (try and be creative with how they die.) Aand the after life isn't as simple as once belived. Well we can make it up as we go along. Whos in or out eh?

    Well heres my character.

    Name: Hold Blake

    Race: Human

    Age: 32

    Description: Hold is of medium build with long brown hair and a rough unshaven face. Dark blue eyes. Always has a longsword by his side. Covered in numerous scars form countless battles with numerous creatures both human and inhuman due to his bold and reckless nature.
    He wears thick leather boots and jerkin. Has a strange amulet adorned around his neck in the shape of a eagle. Gets bored easily and seeks an escape from reality.

    Background: Brought up in Caladon during more sinister times, Hold was conscripted into the Caladons armed forces and young age. There he was soon reckognised as a natural with a blade. Once Bringing down a fully grown Orc with one fell swing. He also excelled in Technological Disciplines studying the medicinal properties of certain wild plants and chemical formulae. He became a field medic and was awarded a mysterious amulet by his commanding officer for an outstanding performance. During peacefuller times he began to Venture into the surrounding wilderness hunting evil creatures that plagues various settlements. He found himself trapped in the bowels of one sinister cave and being unable to treat a lethal poison in time collapsed and left the world of the living.

    So anyone else willing to join create a character and hopefully see you on the other side :)

    Name: Lidien Urmare

    Race: Elf

    Age: 573

    Description: Lidien comes from a long line of elven warriors, all of them specifically trained to deal with evil, dark magic and unnatural things. He's very big for an elf. He has long raven-black hair, usually tied up in a pony-tail or a single, thick braid. His face is also sterner and his jaw more squared than other elves. He carries a bow as his only weapon, but he is very skilled in unarme combat (Kung fu elf! :p). He wears simple, light armor in the form of some hunters garments improved with some elven chainmail. Always keeps his head cool and keeps his focus. Very determined and stubborn, but speaks little.

    Background: As i said, Lidien comes from a long line of elven warriors. He has been trained to use nature as a source of power, and he knows much about plants and wildlife. His mission in life was to hunt evil, the greatest of which was the dark elves. He spent his first 100 years in Qintarra, raised only by his mother, as his father was out hunting dark elves and other evil. He then went into training and could, after 200 years, call himself "hunter of the dark". He spent most of his time in the forest in the area between Qintarra and Tsen Ang (Of course, he didn't know where Tsen Ang was, and he never came close enough to sense any evil). I guess you could call "picking off dark-elven messengers in Hardin's pass" sort of a hobby. Lidien was tending to a grizzly-cub's wounds which had been inflicted by human poachers when the cub's mother mistaked him for one of the poachers and pounced on him from behind, causing death.

    Love the whole afterlife concept. One thing though... Wouldn't it be better to write in first person?

    Name: Burr Carsen

    Race: Half-Ogre

    Age: 32

    Description: Burr is of massive built with no facial hair at all. His eyebrows are huge and low, wich gives him a quite dumb look. His jaw is somewhat oversized, too, and this has given him some problems with speech. He is blind on one eye, due to a great scar crossing half of his face, a souvenire of a previous battle with the Tarant guard. He wears nothing but some rags, glasses and a pair of boots. Some would call this a disadvantage when caught in a meele fight. Burr thinks not. He is strong enough for at least three men, and he wouldn't have the slightest problem with ripping the head of a full grown bull.

    Background: Burr grew up in the wilderness with his mothers tribe of ogres. He was treated as dung by the bigger and stronger ogres, and at the age of ten he was left for dead when he was sleeping. He stumbled his way through the plains of Morbihan until he laid his eyes upon a great pillar of smoke in the horizon. He made his way towards the pillar, as it was the only thing of signefance happening on the plains.
    He found Tarant.
    Burr was quickly taken in under the wings of Pollock, and soon became one of his favourite "fixers". But, when given the job to finish of Maug himself, the resistance became to great for Burr, who ended up dead on the floor with a broadsword gored through his chest, several orcs lying dead among him.

    Name: Kalinka Sauhide

    Race: Half-Elf

    Age: 23

    Description: Kalinka is fairly short and skinny, almost a full foot shorter than most humans and elves she meets. A pair of ornately-framed glasses perch on her nose, the lenses thick enough to make her blue eyes seem slightly too large for her face. Her hair is a fuzzy, dandelion-style mop of sandy-blonde which reaches only a little past her jaw. Her skinny, awkward body is wrapped in heavy brown robes in the style of Tulla.

    Background: Kalinka grew up in Tulla, daughter of an elven Master Mage and a human Journeywoman Mage. From an early age she was surrounded by mages and scholars, and her thirst for knowledge was insatiable. She was viewed as a very promising cantidate for training, and when she was old enough she was accepted into the training courses for both White Necromancy and Summoning. She spent her spare time in the library, although she rarely spoke of her researches to anyone. Whatever it was, she stumbled across something that others didn't want her to know, and she was found sprawled across a table in the Tulla library with a slit throat.

    Name: Kaze

    Race: Human

    Age: 19

    Description: Persistant thinness makes Kaze appear taller than he actually is (5' 10") by several inches. His hair is muddy brown, short, and defies any order imposed on it, so he wears a bandana to keep it out of his eyes. He is deceptively fagile-looking but has an extremly tough constitution. Kaze wears a black tunic and leggings with a blue traveler's cloak and keeps his possesions (of which he has very few) in a small pack.
    He usually watches things and rarely joins a fight unless attacked. When he does so though he fights without mercy using a knife he found on the plains beyond Tarant.

    Background: Kaze (Ka-zay) never knew his parents or his name, and was brought up in a monastary by a strict order of monks. He was distant and quiet as a child and never conformed to the beliefs of the order. At age 15 he was sent to The University of Tarant, where he proformed well in his classes, but showed no favor to pursuing Natural Law. Apon his graduation he decided to travel the land to look for a purpose for his life, since he felt aimless and unhappy. He took his name from when he first saw the ocean and the noise the waves an on the beach. He had only been traveling for a year when he was stoned to death by a mob for trying to protect a begger child from them.

    Vyenna, although you have a point about first person. I find it far easier to create my character along with the story. After all I am the author.

    Well, I'm not quite sure what to do right now. Is there something special we should do right now, apart from meeting one another? Do you have a plan or something like that?

    I sorta going with this place being an entry ground and that beyond the mighty hill lies a great blue tree forest. Therein a lot of souls have gone mad attempting to escape to the other side. We'll probably atempt to brave it to get a good grasp of the situation.
