Myrkuut flattened his
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!)

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!

Heya, so, this is my first time starting an RP! Feel free to offer suggestions/improvements if you think there's anything that could use some work, especially if you're more experienced with this kind of thing! See ya' soon!

Recap:
Myrkuut has found something in the tiny chamber... But is it what he's been searching for? A bright light from above blinds him before he can confirm it.
~~~~~ Chapter 1, part 3 ~~~~~
Flinching, Myrkuut threw up his hands and instinctually moved to cover box. But instead of the horrid screeches of another monster, the surprising tinkle of lightly-accented all-speak filtered down into his ears. Peaking through his furry arms, the lupicling's squinting eyes caught sight of a what appeared to be a light-haired human!
The figure, bathed in light called down, "Are you alright?"
His eyes followed her line of sight as she turned to say something to someone behind her. A scaly arm appeared, holding a coil of rope, which the girl cast down. She made a hand motion directed towards those behind her, and peered back down at Myrkuut. He tore his eyes away, realising he'd been staring too long.
"Hey, don't be afraid! We're here to help, and you can use the rope to join us." The girl smiled encouragingly, as if prodding the wolf-child to follow her words. He hesitantly eyed the rope. "Are... Are you injured? We can send someone down if you-" He quickly shook his head and scrambled up the rope, careful not to scrape or disturb the slightly-bulging sachel strapped tightly beneath his abdominal fur against anything on his way up. He couldn't afford to let any damage come to its new contents.
Pulling himself up out of the whole in the dome, Myrkuut cautiously looked over the group. In addition to the girl who talked to him, there was a pale three-eyed thing, a suspicious-smelling dark-skinned elf, and a green serpenna, who'd likely been the owner of the claw with the rope -- a thought confirmed when the dark guy finished recoiling the rope and handed it back to the serpenna.
No one said anything for a moment. "So, uh, would you like you join us?" The blonde girl sheepishly offered.
"Sonia!" The pale one scowled as o whisper-shouted in disbelief.
"Yeah, what the heck?! I thought we were supposed to be being responsible this time?" The dark sharp one crossed his arms.
"Everyone," the serpenna spoke up, deep and rich; one tone deeper than a hiss. "Calm, or you will frighten the child." Everyone's eyes turned to Myrkuut.
"Ah, why don't we start out by introducing ourselves." The one named Sonia laughed, seemingly embarrassed. "I'm Sonia, this is Maelstrom, Jūkyū is the brown-haired ocuan, and the last one is Forrest." She gestured to the serpenna, cloud-coloured cari, and black elf in that order. "Do you mind telling us your name?"
Myrkuut growled softly, throat dry as the sands of the Jorang. The group all stepped back in alarm, but after clearing his throat, he answered in a husky tone.
Forrest's brows raised, but the others' all shed their previous tightness at the realisation he wouldn't attack.
"At the very least, we can lead you out of this chu'uka*, and give you a place to eat and sleep for the night, if you're alright with following us." Sonia ignored the glares of the previous two dissenters, and glanced up at Maelstrom, who nodded.
Myrkuut decided there likely wasn't too much harm in following these strangers.
Unless! A terrifying idea suddenly struck him. Were they going to take his treasure?!
Myrkuut made sure to keep a distance behind the rest of the band as the conversed, hopefully leading him to the end of the tunnel without incident.
_-_-_ _-_-_ _-_-_
Sneak-peek/preview of the next chapter:
Myrkuut shifted uncomfortably. Yes, these nice people had provided him with lots of stuff. But there were too many huddled around this bafka't! What if they decided they wanted his box? He'd never be able to show his face at home again if this really was the treasure and he lost it now!
_-_-_ _-_-_ _-_-_
* a chu'uka is like a large complex of underground caverns, usually under the desert.
~~~~~~~~~~
You people can take this away if you want to include a mini-adventure segment in between this chunk and the part where they head back to their ankampul (traveller/mercenary's temporary campsite) and meet some more of your charries!
More drama! More fight-scenes! I'm excited to see what y'all come up with if anyone is interested! (If you do end up writing a chunk, there's no need to do the sneak-peak thingie, by the way :])

So, we can start doin' out RP thingys? If not, disregard this post.
MICHAEL'S POV
I was swimmin' for my life, away from the guards of the Royal Sea Palace, 'cause all I did was tell my wife somethin', and she died, I called out for help, and now they think I did it on PURPOSE. What was I, a DESTROYER?!
"I hope these guys stop chasin' me; I'm runnin' outta breath!" I muttered to myself, as I lost the guards.
I swam up to the surface, and splashed into fresh air. Relief! Finally! Yes! I shook my head, sendin' water droplets all over the place.
"Oh, oh, oh! Ohh, sweet, sweet air! Oh, I don't know how much I missed it!" I said, as I bobbed up and down on the water's surface.
I looked around, and saw a glimpse of land on the horizon. I dove back under water, and then jumped up into the air, kinda like a dolphin would. Except I'm not a dolphin. Let's just say it's somethin' I like to do.
Anyway, I kept doin' that, as the land came closer and closer...

INSTRUCTIONS:
*** If anyone wants to, please write the main group meeting/rejoining with Michael and a few others back at the camp. Here we can mostly get to know everyone, and figure out what they plan to do next.
If this is not done within 3-4 days, I've got it covered, for real this time. :' ) ***
So sorry for the really long absence I don't really have an excuse, I just suck at doing things in a consistently timely matter; again, all the apologies in the world, thanks for stickin' with the story so far! Special thanks to Emkittycon Kitten for helping keep this thread alive, you're seriously a lifesaver, even if you don't realise it.
Time to pay off all of your appreciation and passion for this project, get refocused and dive back into the story! >:D
