Let's start a new role-playing story! The other one won't load for me. See Dmboogie's rules. We have many positions to fill. This one is set in ancient Greece, where their mythology was true. (No one can be a god. Read the rules, unless they are minor.)
I'll start. I'm the villan, planing to destroy the gods and take over.
Xlanalx rubbed his hands in glee, as another messanger reported that his forces had taken Arbella from the Persians. Soon, he thought, soon I can take on the Greeks and bring Ainodecam to its rightful place in the history books. He ordered his messenger to tell his army to leave a small residual force there, and attack the next Persian city. This would take days to get there, and days to conquer, but he had no better solution.
Well, like it?
Here are some character suggestions.
Someone from Arbella w/ magic powers *Sprirt Fingers*
Greek Leader
MINOR god
Persian Leader

All right... I like being a villain, but I see that's taken *pouts*, so I'll be the messenger that brought Xlanalx his message. Working for a villain is okay, too. :)
Elyte was a small, spritely girl with elfish features. She worked for the Lord Xlanalx as a messenger but considered herself an evil genius, with an unfortunate tendency to brag a bit. With her elite position as messenger, she could infiltrate the plans of maniacal leaders, and change the messages to her liking. Being a girl, no one took much notice of her, and being short for a fourteen-year-old she was even more invisible. She knew what everyone was aiming to do, and was plotting the time that she could overthrow them all and take rule of Greece.
As aforestated, she had a tendency to brag.

Horray! Someone contributed! Okay, I'll go now. Xlanalx didn't know the truth about Elyte, and considered her one of his most useful messangers. Little did he know that her report didn't cover the fact that ther were five of his soldiers left in Arbella. The army had been almost completely obliterated. Still, Xlanalx sent reiforcements, just in case.

Xyflyx sniffed the air and could almost sniff danger. He could feel in his bones that someone was going to attack Greece. But who?

Aalisha glanced sideways stealthily, hoping to look like a commoner frequenting the marketplace. She shuddered to think of the consequences she would face if anyone figured out that she was secretly a Persian spy. She had stowed away on a Greek ship and was living with a Persian family posing as lowly peasants. Her goal was to kill the current ruler. That, she thought with satisfaction, Will send this nasty place into a perfect state of disarray, what with all the evil lords trying to take over this filthy rodent's nest. Hopefully they'll all kill each other, and then Persia can walk in and make this place an outskirt of the empire. She hated Athens more the longer she stayed, but she was determined to succeed in her task. She turned, swept her hood over her face, and disapeared into the shadowy alley aside the temple.

Xlanalx listened gleefully as his messanger told how the Greeks had started battling the Persians. He could give Greece money that would help them defeat the Persians, and then take them over himself. Of course, he thought, there is always the matter of those gods. They always favor Greece. But perhaps i could bribe a few of the minor ones. Then, he wrote a message for his messanger girl, Elyte, to give loot from the Persians to the Greeks.

I didn't do the last one, but is it Okay if I join this? If not, just say so and I'll stop. Anyhoo, if it is, here's my person:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wren was a small waifish orphan, a maid for a horrid old woman. No one would guess from her slight build or dainty features who she really was. A small girl, living in poverty, deprived of the blessings of childhood, forced to grow up too fast. No one would have guessed that this small girl wanted to be a villian. No one would have guessed that she longed to follow in the shadow of Xlanalx, to destroy towns, and bring upon people the curse that she suffered from. No one guessed, but it was true.
(March 16, 2009 - 8:01 pm)
((Wow, everyone seems to want to be a villian. The story might get on better if we had at least one or two amazing-save-the-world Greek heros. Just a comment.))

Tsk Tsk Tsk, all these people with blood and guts and horrible plans. And guess what?? I Love it! *sits down and starts writing about her backstabbing character*
*****************
Jenri, had just arrived in the bustling city of Athens from a faraway country, but she wasn't going to tell anyone that. If they knew, no one would accept her and her entire plan would fall down around her ears. So she planned to keep to herself until the appointed time. Striding down a narrow alleyway to her rented rooms, she ran into a small, ethereal girl.
"Oh Neremis above," muttered Jenri, "I suppose now, apologies are in order." She was not much of a sympathetic girl.
***************
Write more later. I have HW to do *groans*

Biblios, minor god of literature, was bored. He was young, for a god, perhaps 11 or 12 in human years. At the moment, he had writer's block, which was very rare, considering his sphere of influence. Lately, he had been a bit worried about the fact that some guy had been making suspiciously many offerings at the temples of some other minor gods. Considering telling the Olympian Council, he decided that it wasn't really a problem.

Hi, Wizard, nice to see you here, too. Xlanlx's forces had taken over more Persian cities, with much success. Now not very many Persian cities remained. Xlanalx had beed reguarly sacrificing to minor gods, hoping he could get a few on his side. Especially Biblios, who he figured could write secret propaganda into Greek literature, so they'd have an implosion from the inside. Xlanalx also hadn't seen Elyte, his messanger girl for a few days. Where was she? he wondered. I have other messangers. And then he went off to a temple to sacrifice to Biblios, for the fifth time today.

Is there a single good guy, or are we all power-mad maniacal villains? I personally enjoy a good villain a lot, but yes, we do sort of need one teensy good guy--oh, wait, we have Biblios, sorry, forgot (clever name... sorry, just saying that I get that connection to literature; bragging :) ). Okay, bring on the evil.
I'm assuming that Jenri bumped into Elyte?
Elyte looked snidely at the girl she'd bumped into. No very memorable features, but she burned the face into her memory as she did with every stranger she saw. "Simpleton," she said derisively. "Can't you watch where you're going? Don't you see that you nearly knocked me over? What do you have to say for yourself?"
The girl gave her an icy glare, which Elyte gladly returned. She shouldn't be looking for trouble, but she was fed up with another day of being treated like Xlalnx's (spelling!!) cute little message girl, the one with the sweet dark hair, the one who was always obedient. Were they completely unaware that she was a "bad guy," as so often lewdly termed? That perhaps one day she could easily overturn even Xlanlx's streak of power?
"I see no need to apologize," said the girl.
"I do," replied Elyte shortly.
The girls exchanged Death Stares for a few minutes, and then the other girl turned to go. Elyte caught her sleeve. "Where do you think you're going?"
"Nemeris above, you don't actually want me to apologize." The girl's incredulous tone suggested that this would be such an infra dig breach of her stature that it was unthinkable.
"No. I wondered if you might be interested in collaborating with me."

Wren's home lay in ruins about her feet as she stared off into the distance after the very person she wanted to be. No one survived, only a few scraps of bones and clothing. With a heavy sigh and even heavier heart, Wren turned and followed the rapidly receding cloud of dust on the horizon. Little did she know that wandering blindly into Xlanalx's hands, whether or not she was aspiring to become like him, was an incredibly dim choice.

Gosh that's bad, oh well...good thing I'm not an important character.

((In my opinion I'm the good guy, but of course, I'm rooting for Persia to win. Now, on with destroying Athens. Hooray! *laughs maniacally*))
Aalishia emerged from a dark alleyway just aside the manor of Lord Xlanalx. She swept off her hood and approached the massive doorway. It wouldn't have been quite truthful to say that she wasn't a tiny bit anxious, but she hid her doubts somewhere in the pit of her stomach. She should be used to taking risks by now. She was the daughter of a Persian lord whose lands had been overtaken by Greek soldiers. They had killed her entire family, but she escaped. And now she fully intended to get revenge on these barbarians. She lifted one small fist and knocked on the door of the man she intended to kill.
(March 20, 2009 - 2:57 pm)
Ambitious.

Xlanalx had recently been hearing reports about a small girl, Wren, who was oft seen by Elyte. Elyte had also introduced him to a new messanger girl. He was mulling over all this when ther was a knock at the door. He opened it, and a girl, her face full of rage lept at him, shouting "I'll get you, you Greek!" flying at him with her sword.
Xlanalx said, "I'm not Greek. I'm from Anoidecam. I plan to destroy Greece."
"You do?" the girl said. "Well, then maybe I'd like to help."
"You certanly look Greek," Xlanalx replied to this strange offer. "You could be a spy. I do certainly need more intelligence in that area."
"Of course," she said.
((Sorry, I had to make up dialogue for Aliasha. You can decide if she's serious or not!))
