The Sea's Song
September’s (very late) CBversary RP!!
~~~
Cambria is a flourishing port city, full of life, laughter, and magic. For a city built from the ashes of a war only months ago, it is remarkable how much it’s grown and developed. And it’s also remarkable how quickly it’s grown, though no one questions the magic.
Your characters were children when the city rose. And they are barely grown when the city falls.
An inescapable darkness has risen. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, an idea unheeded by the founders of Cambria. Too much magic calls forth too much darkness. But what’s done is done, and their only hope now is to journey beyond the land across the perilous sea, in an attempt to save the people they have doomed.
The journey is not for the faint of heart.
The Lottery is the last thing they give you, a system enchanted to find the bravest, the strongest, the smartest, only the best to sail across the Deep and find salvation.
~~~~~
Rules and Information that you will NEED to know (PLEASE READ THEM ALL):
- There are 14 spots. Reservations are accepted, but you MUST post your charrie within a week of you reserving that spot or I’ll give it to someone else
- This will start after I have at least 7 characters
- I’d love a cast of both males and females, which brings up an important point
- CHARACTERS!!!! I would love if we had a ton of diversity, so I’m accepting literally anything, especially POC (People of Color) and LGBTQ+ (@ADMINS, sorry, just wanted to make sure you saw this if you’re not allowing this, please delete the part where it says LGBTQ+, so no one gets confused, thanks!!) NOTE: I will be looking over your characters and okaying them.
- The time period is a fantasy-medival, think Throne of Glass, Six of Crows, A Darker Shade of Magic, or if you have no idea what I’m talking about, just think of Pirates of the Caribbean or something in terms of clothing and technology
- NO OP CHARACTERS PLEASE, THANK YOU!
- Password: marshmallow fluff
- A note on magic: If you choose to give your characters magic, it does not mean that they can summon winds, control the ocean, or anything big like that. The magic in this world comes from a sort of stronghold thingy, so it can be mined, but not everyone is compatible with the magic, meaning that it is very picky and may possibly reject your character
- I might be a tad bit harsh on your character, but remember, it’ll help with your character building!
- Aaaaand I think that’s it, I hope you read it, and without further ado. . .
CHARRIE SHEETS! Please fill them in all the way, if you have any questions, feel free to ask!

I actually meant RPG and MBTI, which they were talking about on this thread. I think they were being used to describe a charrie.
(June 23, 2017 - 10:20 am)
Ohhh. .. RPG alignment is something used more commonly in roleplaying games, like Dungeons and Dragons, to describe characters, but it can also be used for RPs. It's basically a grid, and there are nine alignments that cover good vs. evil and law vs. chaos: lawful good, neutral good, chaotic good, lawful evil, neutral evil, chaotic evil, lawful neutral, true neutral, and chaotic neutral. I don't know if that makes any sense. . . does anyone know more about RPG that could help me explain it better?
MBTI is short for Myers-Brigg Type Indicator, which is a type of personality category that determines a number of different factors. I'm not really sure how to explain this— Google might be helpful. . .
Again, if anyone knows how to explain any of these better, that would be appreciated!!
Hope this helps, Kitten!

That makes sense. So, my character's RPG is chaotic neutral, I think.
According to Wikipedia, MBTI is complicated and involves thinking, feeling, sensation, and intuition.

I'm going to be camping from Sunday until Saturday this week, so I won't be able to post. Just wanted to let everyone know so they didn't think I instantly forgot about this RP.
(June 22, 2017 - 9:26 am)
Sure, don't worry about it! We probably won't even start by then

Name: Aine (pronounced Anya) Odili
Age: 15
Birthdate: April 13th
Gender: Female
Height: 5'6" (A few inches above average)
Weight: 120 lbs. (About average)
Appearance: Smooth medium brown skin, frizzy, puffy, very dark brown hair worn in a puff on top of her head. If she wore ot down it would puff out into some sort of afro-like shape, but if she straightened it, it would be a little longer than shoulder length. Her eyes are large and emerald green. She has wide pinkinsh brown lips, (That sounds like a disgusting color but I don't know how else to describe it) and her nose is some what skinny. She has light freckles that can only be seen up close splattered across her nose and cheeks, a beauty mark below her lips on the left side, and a pale scar from just above her right elbow to just below it. She is a mix of irish and african american. She wears very simple clothes: a red tunic with greenish leggings, a tan cloak/shawl, and a beat up pair of black leather boots.
Default expression: A slight smile
Personality: Very cheerful, wants to help everyone except for a select few that she really doesn't like.Bubbly, likes to joke around, and often is mistaken for a dumb girl. However, she is quite clever. (Hey, that rhymes!) She's not incredibly "school smart," but can usually be counted on to come up with clever ideas. She can be brave when she acts without thinking, usually to help her friends.
Strength (As in personality): Knows when people are feeling down and knows when to help them or leave them alone.
Weaknesses (As in persoality): Sometimes when she tries to help people she forgets that she might be throwing herself into danger or trouble.
Greatest motivation: She'll do anything for her family and friends.
Greatest flaw: It's very hard for her to get over teasing, name calling, insults, etc.
Greatest fear: That she won't be able to save her city. And spiders.
One word to sum them up: bubbly
Hogwarts house: Hufflepuff and a little bit of Ravenclaw
Social status: popular among people who have a good sense of humor, but not with more serious people.
Magic wielder?: no.
Preferred weapon: Her wit and her homemade bow and arrow.
Password: marshmallow fluff

Asimi is open to shipping, by the way. I think we are doing shipping in this RP?
Also, just to clarify, his sister is currently 10 years old.
(June 22, 2017 - 8:20 pm)
