Pageborn RP please
Pageborn RP please join!
Ah, the Pageborn. People born from words, from the ink that slowly dripped off quills or the scratchings of graphite on paper. Not many Pageborns exist; in fact, many of them look like normal people and mingle. But there are three rules that Pageborns must always follow:
One: They must always keep their locket on.
Two: They must never reveal their secret.
Three: They must never fall in love.
Unfortunately, there are so few Pageborns now, as writing on screens becomes more and more popular. Only one on earth know of her true identity. As of today, there are only five on earth.
The rules are forgotten. If they remove their locket, they will die.
If they find out and reveal their secret, they will die.
And if they fall in love, the consequences will be far, far worse.
Okay, so after the dramatic intro, there are a few details.
Pageborns are not, say, Harry Potter. They do not know where they come from (like, what story/poem they came out of.) Also, please suggest consequences for what will happen if they fall in love!!!!!
Note: Please make up the characters... I will bend these rules a little myself, you'll see. Sorry. Basically, the Pageborns who are aware of their true identity set out to find the others.
NO MORE THAN FIVE PEOPLE. ONE CHARRIE PER PERSON.
Unless, if you really want to join but there are already five peeps, give me five good reasons why you should join and make your charrie a normal person, possibly a love interest.
Name: Lenore. She says her last name is Coalice (pronounced Coal-ice) but she really doesn't have a last name.
Age: 15 (this is all of our charrie's ages)
Personality: Incredibly smart, quiet, literary. Good with birds, marine life, and daggers. Likes the cold.
Appearance: (NOTE: ALL PAGEBORNS HAVE A BLACK HIGHLIGHT IN THEIR HAIR): Dark blonde hair with a black highlight, very pale, shocking green eyes.
(I KNOW, she's based on the poem "The Raven." but I made up her personality and stuff.)
Locket appearance: Amethyst and ebony with silver. It looks like a purple-winged raven trapped in ice (thin silver).
Powers the locket gives her: She can summon birds and has telekinesis (I dunno, seems gothic).
FINAL NOTE: No elemental control like water, earth, fire, or air.

Yay this time setting is pefect for me! Okay, so Emma was adopted by a rich, widdowed barrones.
~Emma~
I walk silently down the steps to where Mother sits in the parlor, sipping coffee. I curtsy, hampered by the fact that I'm not wearing a dress, but my posture is correct somehow. My posture has always been correct. Lissy even jokes that I was born sitting up straight. Now that it's summertime, I shall not see Lissy very often, which is dissapointing.
Mother returns my curtsey with a small nod and I take a seat next to her on the canapè. Lissy always tells me I live such a formal life, but it feels right to me somehow. Reminds me of something. I shurg away the thought and turn to the window, where our house overlooks the other houses and the forge. I sigh as I think of the one thing every girl my age is talking about, the one thing I won't be able to attend.
"What is it, darling?" Mother asks, frowning.
"Mother, there is the most wonderful concert coming up, and after the performance there will be an open talent presentation, and oh, I do so love singing, and it would be so wonderful if I could-"
"What time does it end?" she asks flatly.
"11:00," I say quietly.
"That is one hour past your curfew."
"But absouletely all of my friends are going!"
"Well, I am not all of your friend's mother."
"But MOTHER!"
"Go to your room, Emma. I have raised you to have the manners of a princess and here you are, acting very un-princesslike." The insult stings for some reason, stings very much. But I obey, knowing that I have failed her, knowing that I had not a chance anyways.

Can I please be a Pageborn? Please?
Here are my ten reasons:
1. I am new to CB and would like to be included in something.
2. I love to write and will add on all the time to make it more intresting and to keep the RP going.
3. I will bless you with eternal awesomeness if you let me in.
4. Here, have some more delicous virtual ice cream! It comes in ten different flavors: vanilla; strawberry; chocalate; mint chocolate chip; cotton candy; cookie dough; moose tracks; peanut butter crunch; rocky road and blueberry. You can also have soft serve in any of those flavors or a frappe!
5. I'll try not to be too bossy.
6. I'll obey all your rules.

8. My awesomeness is astounding. I'd be suprised if you wern't begging me on your knees to join by this point.
9. I'll be your best CB friend.
10. I would love it if you let me join.
(June 19, 2015 - 2:16 pm)
And I have an extra reason for you to let me join. I have a consecuence for falling in love! Here it is:
If they fall in love, maybe their love would be killed with them watching and they would be helpless to stop it!
How do like that?
(June 19, 2015 - 2:20 pm)
Sorry, Hermoine, no.
Also, Quinn's person, Lenore doesn't know that Lu is following her and the boy who Lenore knocked down is Ben (y'know, forest is kind of his habitat.).

Alexandra was adopted by two very ordinary people.
Alexandra~
Mom and Dad are on another business trip. Without me. Again. "Alexandra," said Mom, before they left, "you're fifften. You can take care of the house and Adirr without us."
Adirr is my half-wolf Artic sled dog. He really loves me.
"Fine," l had grumbled and then they left. l watch the car until it is out of sight, then go to the yard to walk Adirr.
"C'mon boy," l call to him, opening the gate. Adirr dashes out and we run to the forest.
Once in it, l close my eyes and concentrate. l slowly count to ten, and open my eyes, as a wolf. Adirr is the only one who knows of my powers. (Brookeira, l know you said if they reveal their secret they die, but could there be a an exception in the case of a dog? Please? It wouldn't affect or change anything in the story.)
Adirr is delighted. We run and play for the good part of a hour when l smell humans. l tell Adirr that we must go back, but he wants to find out who they are.
l consent to Adirr's idea reluctantly and shoulder to shoulder, we follow the scent, to a clearing, where two girls and a boy are.
One of them suddenly jerks in suprise. "There is a wolf and a dog very close here," she tells the others. They mean us. l tell Adirr.
Suddenly l am lifted from the ground by an invislble force. Adirr dashes from the forest, growling. In five seconds l have changed to human, but Adirr is faster. He attacks the girl with blonde hair, biting her leg.
"Adirr! Down!" l yell, as the invisible force drops me. He obeys, still growling, to my side.
The three glare at me. "Don't try anything," l growl, "or l will tell my wolf-dog to tear you to pieces." Adirr bares his fangs, as if to emphasize to point.
(June 19, 2015 - 9:07 pm)
"Who are you?" I ask her, putting two-and-two together as I look at the confused boy, the confused girl, and the wolf-dog-owner girl's black highlights.
"No concern of yours," she says, straightening up. It's all I need. I lunge and tackle her (untelekinetically) to the ground, she yelps, and her dog is thrown back by an invisible force. I snatch under her shirt and uncover a locket. Not just any locket.
I let go and straighten up myself; the boy (is he Ben? Yes, Ben,) and the girl (doesn't her name start with an L? Lu, I believe) are shocked. They slowly produce lockets of their own.
The girl gasps and growls; an actual, inhuman growl.
(OOC: Pageborns can reveal their secret to each other and non-humans.)
"Wait," I say, readying myself to say what I'm about to say. "Who are you?"
"Ben," the boy says. I suddenly feel lighter. That must be one of his powers.
"Lu," the girl says.
"I'm Lenore," I say, and I have to tell you something."
The dog-wolf owner growls again. "And what's your-"
"ADIRR! SIC HER!"
The girl growls and morphs--right before my eyes-- into the most terrifying wolf I've seen in my life.
I fling the dog away again, but the wolf tackles me to the ground and things start to go dark...

Quinn~
I lean against the hard stone wall and slide down into a sitting position. My muscles ache and my feet want to fall off. I would rest more, but there isn't much for a lunch break, so I open my lunch bag and take out a sandwich. I slowly lift up the sandwich to my mouth and take a great big chomp. I chew slowly while resting the sandwich on my lap.
I stand up with a grumble and hustle to put my bag away. I turn and head back to the forge, my lungs seemingly unwilling to breath the smoky, metallic fumes. I sigh and grab my hammer. Now that the break was over the forge's strange silence was filled by the usual clangs and an occasional order from Da. Sometimes even a pained cry from some unfortunate worker. I step up to my anvil and stare at the lumpy piece of metal. Don't get me wrong, I love blacksmithing, but only when I can create my own works. Not fill orders. I grab the hammer with my other hand and grip the handle whil starting to lift it up. Then I let it fall. A weak pang resonates from it and I sigh. Then, with more determination, I lift the hammer and instead of letting it fall I swing. A loud clang pierces my ears and I grimace. What a life...
(June 19, 2015 - 11:25 pm)
Alexandra~
l back off as the girl goes limp. "What did you do to her?" gasps the other girl, Lu.
Back in human form, l reply, "l didn't do anything. l think she fainted from shock." l can tell that they don't believe me. Adirr comes limping to my side, whining. l softly pet him.
Ben produces a bottle of water from somewhere, and splashs it on Lenore's face. In a little bit, she wakes up. She starts at the sight of me.
"Wait," l hold out my hand in a gesture of friendship. "l do not wish to be your ememy. l wish to be your friend." She doesn't trust me any more then when she first saw me. l can tell.
"If you are a friend, then why did you attack me?" says Lenore, trying to keep the anger out of her voice.
"Because l was attacked first. It was only natural that l defend myself."
"Yeah right," mutters Ben. l ignore him. "And what was this something you had to tell us?"

**Lu-Ana**
I send my sense of smell out a bit and move my sight in front of me. I examine them. There's a girl with startling deep green eyes, emerald green eyes, pale skin, blonde hair with a black highlight. Her high cheekbones highlight the angular otherness about her- an otherness that somehow makes me connect to her. The boy has a wildness about him, a kind of happy but wild aura. He has white hair, even though he looks to be about my age. It has one long black streak in it, that seems to emphasize the differentce between him and a Regular. He's dressed in a red-green shirt and dirty jeans. On his belt is a silver sheath, with a dagger-hilt protruding from it. I see a chain stirring around his neck and start to send my sight out toward it but then my smell tells me a wolf and a dog are near. I tell the other two. Green Eyes Girl sees the wolf and uses her power to grab it. A dog races from the forest, trying to bite her leg. The wolf shivers and shudders, quickly morphing into a girl.
"Adirr! Down!" Wolf-Girl shouts, falling to the ground.
I reel my sight back in to join the others in glaring at her. "Don't try anything," Wolf-Girl growls, "or l will tell my wolf-dog to tear you to pieces." The dog bares his teeth. Wolf-dog? No, just a dog. Maybe a fierce one, but long removed from wolf. And who is this girl, who thinks she can take on three Unregulars, Irregulars, Pageborns? And then I see the black streak.
"Who are you?" Green Eyes Girl asks Wolf-Girl.
"No concern of yours," Wolf-Girl says, straightening up. I see Green Eyes Girl tense up and tackle her. She rolls on the ground, using her power to throw back her dog. Green Eyes Girl grabs something from under her shirt. I send my sight out a bit and see it is a locket- but not a regular one, and I know she is one of us. I snatch under her shirt and uncover a locket. Not just any locket. Instinctivly I pull out my own and stare at the others; theirs are elaborate with special carvings and jewels; mine is simple and as I run my fingers over it there is not the reassuring tingle my locket usually gives off.
"Who are you?" Green Eyes Girl says again.
"Ben," White-Hair Boy says, calmly.
"Lu," I introduce myself, sending my hearing skittering right up over to Wolf-Girl and her dog.
"I'm Lenore," Green-Eyes Girl says, "and I have to tell you something."
Wolf-Girl growls again. "And what's your-"
"ADIRR! SIC HER!"
And Wolf-Girl is no longer Wolf-Girl, just wolf, and a terrifying one at that. She tackles Lenore, whose head lolls like she's fainting. I walk over to Wolf-Girl on silent feet and yank her off Lenore. "Lenore?"
(June 20, 2015 - 8:54 pm)
Wait...so what if one of the pageborn's chains broke and they went to the forge to get it fixed by the guy who works there?
(June 21, 2015 - 12:47 am)
(GUYS, I figured out the punishment for being in love!
Pageborns will be sent to a dystopian timeline where their love will be taken, killed, or won't remember them. Okay?)
I jump up and run to the Wolf-girl. It's as I feared-the tussle made her chain snap.
"No!" I yell, shoving the locket into her hands and surveying the chain damage. It's split, alright. We'll have to take it to a blacksmith.
"What's the big deal?" Wolf grumbles.
"Quiet!" I say, "listen... have you ever been able to do anything odd?"
Their faces betray them.
"One: Don't tell anyone. Two: DO NOT remove your locket and THREE: Never, ever fall in love."
"Why?" asks Lu.
"It's a whole lot worse than dying."
Wolfy looks faint. I rush over and help her stand.
"We need to get this girl to the blacksmith!" I yell, "grab an arm!"
The two kids stand frozen.
"GRAB ONE!"
They rush and grab her arms; I grunt and hoist her legs.
"Into town. Fast," I say.
(June 21, 2015 - 1:17 pm)
Quinn~
I stare at the trio of girls and one guy. One of them looking faint and being carried by the others. I stare and also a few other workers. I happen to be the closest. The two walking people lay the pale-faced girl against the wall and come up to me. I fare at them and a girl with shocking green eyes hands me a pocket and chain. It shocks me and I wince. "Fix it," the girl says.
I look closely at the chain and realize where it's broken and that the clasp is missing. "I can't make clasps very quickly. It would take at lest a day."
"Then don't make a clasp!!"
"How will she wear it then?"
"Just put it around her neck and melt it together!" the boy chimes in.
"Then she can't take it off?" I raise my eyebrow.
"Exactly!" they shout in unison.
"Uh...bring her here." I am so utterly confused by now. Why are two people telling me to permanently (unless it breaks) fasten a locket around someone's neck? Someone who seems to be dying. I grab a hot poker and slide the locket on the chain. I stare at it for a moment, intrigued, then snap back to reality and pull it around the girls neck. "Are you sure?" I ask, looking at the green-eyed one. She nods and frowns at me. I look back and put the poker to the two ends, melting them together and also burning the girl a little. I dump the poker in water and stand up. Then I realize they all have black streaks in their hair. A cult of some sort?
"We can't pay you."
I turn around and blurt out somehing that I know will change my life. "Yes you can. Take me with you."
The girl stares back, startled. After a few moments she says, "No?"
"Please."
(June 21, 2015 - 4:02 pm)
Alexandra~
"He did fix my chain," l say, weakly, recovering. He also burned my neck. l would like to add, but l don't. "Well......" Says Lenore, doubtfully.
"Where are we going?" Asks Lu. "If we don't know, then l don't think we should bring him, and besides he'll get in the way."
"Aren't you greatful? Oh--l forgot, it wasn't your life that was endangered," l remark, a bit rudely.
"What you-"
l growl, deep in the back of my throat and turn to address the boy. "You can come." Adirr, who was lurking at the doorway of the smithy, bounds in and licks my hand. He then starts to lick the boy's hands. The boy laughs, and tries to push Adirr away.
"Is he yours?"
"Yes," l say, a bit jealous that Adirr liked someone else.
"C'mon," says Ben, "we don't have all day."
