Chatterbox: Inkwell

Myrkuut flattened his body against the craggy damp wall.

He couldn't see a thing, but he could've sworn he heard something slithering in the dark not far from him. Cold sweat scuttled down his back, but he firmly held absolutely still for fear of alerting whatever it was out there.

Suddenly, a deep, breathy rustle came from his left and he stiffened slightly, holding his breath. It slowly thrashed its way past, disappearing to his right. Myrkuut's muscles loosened, and he let that coiled-up breath finally escape, but he didn't let his guard down. He couldn't afford to.

He needed to move forward, after all.

Letting his fingers crawl sideways against the rough, slimy rocks slightly behind him, he slowly edged his way on; ever closer to some desperate, unseen goal.

Name:

Nickname (optional): 

Pronouns:

(^^^ Can have male, female, in-between/neither/unclear or just vaguely leaning towards one or the others, etc., but also consider how 'alien' species may function. Maybe they switch during certain periods, or are like fungus on Earth, where gender doesn't really apply in the same way, or perhaps they have a different method of procreating all together. Keep an open mind, and explain/experiment with that here!) 

Appearance:

Personality: 

Skills/strengths: 

Weakness/limitations: 

Gear:

(^^^optional, basically just clothes/equipment/enhancements your charrie needs/prefers)

Magic/type:

(^^^ Optional, if not, just put 'N/A'; if yes please specific/list uses, limitations, complications, etc.)

Species type(be unique!): 

Habitat:

(^^^ Optional, keep it general/mysterious if possible since we'll only have specific names for regions/governments after we've fleshed out the story a bit more) 

Language(s): 

(^^^ Optional, since there is an 'international/continental' language, this won't be a problem for general communication except in special cases, but it might play into the story to be able to speak many/very tribe-specific languages) 

Defining traits:

(^^^ Optional; do they have a particular birthmark or deformity or unique colouration that makes it easy to identify them? Perhaps their species has a very distinctive feature, like glowing eyes or skin, or something like that? How does this effect them? Are they praised as being a 'chosen one,' or shunned for their differences, or does it not matter that much at all? Maybe it doesn't matter in their native tribe, but when facing other species/groups, it does. Explain/experiment all that here!) 

Other:

Don't forget, you can adjust you sheet as the story continues and we all have a better understanding of this World at large. It's also alright if you create several more characters later on, but let's stick to 1-3 for the beginning part.

I plan on being the main writer/Dungeon Master, but I'll still create a few characters and encourage you to write little segments/chapters or even side/backstories, if you're comfortable with it! Thank you!

Sneak-peak/preview of the next part:

Fingers met cold metal, and stayed with excitement. Was this what he'd been looking for?! Before Myrkuut could celebrate or investigate further, a sharp scraping erupted above eye-level at his 2 o'clock. He froze.

All at once, Myrkuut's vision turned to stabbing white, body was bathed in a beam of light.

Expect to have a set of new charries introduced in the next segment!
