I'll start:

NAME: Charlie W.

SPECIES: Human (Homo sapiens)

JOB/TITLE: Sprocketville, Southwest Kyngdom

APPEARANCE: Tall for his age (13), average build, curly dark brown hair always needs a haircut (except right after he gets one)

PERSONALITY: Never the first to speak up, but always the first to notice something

HOME: His parents' house, which his mom likes to say has the most natural light of any underground bunker in Sprocketville, thanks to its many skylights

MOST OFTEN SEEN AT: The machinist wing of the Cypher Labs dormitory, where he lives on a hall with the other gear-nerds. Needless to say it's not the cleanest wing in the building.

FRIEND OR MENTOR: Dr. Sheepshank was the first adult he felt really took him seriously.

ENEMY OR RIVAL: Marcus R., the best machinist at Cypher--and a full year younger than Charlie.

FAVORITE POSSESSION OR OBJECT: His titanium sprocket wrench set, a 13th birthday gift from Dr. Sheepshank.

MOTTO OR FAVORITE SAYING: Er, did you try hitting it with a hammer?

STRENGTHS: Inventiveness--at age 8, he built a working dishwasher from scratch.

WEAKNESSES: Confidence--he has trouble standing up for himself sometimes.

BACKGROUND: Charlie grew up in Sprocketville, a small bunker town in Southwest Kyngdom. He was lonely there, since there weren't many other kids around--but that gave him plenty of time to tinker with the smashed-up machines that lined all the roads in town. After he built an entirely new set of household appliances from scratch, word spread across Kyngdom. Eventually, Dr. Sheepshank recruited him to be part of the Cypher Labs team. His parents were sad to see him go, but he didn't think twice: this was his big break.

This is a character I'll likely be using in a roleplay I may start up later.

NAME: Zara al-Mari.

SPECIES: Human

JOB/TITLE: Actually none, yet. She'll later end up working as an undercover agent for the Resistance.

APPEARANCE: Dark hair (my characters always seem to have dark hair), tanned skin, just under average height. She has very expressive eyes and a sensitive face which usually reveals what she's thinking.

PERSONALITY: I'll develop this more as I go along, but she's brave, imaginative, and ready to do whatever she believes is right.

HOME: A small cottage in the woods. She lives there with her family.

MOST OFTEN SEEN AT: Her home, or the woods. She has very little contact with the outside world.

FRIEND OR MENTOR: Her father is one of the people she most respects and looks up to. Other than that, she hangs out a lot with her brother, and will acquire more friends as the story goes on.

ENEMY OR RIVAL: The enemy of her entire family is Lord Helion, a general in Catastrophe's army.

FAVORITE POSSESSION OR OBJECT: She's not really materialistic, but she treasures the shawl that belonged to her grandmother and the inlaid wooden box which is the only thing she possesses from her childhood.

MOTTO OR FAVORITE SAYING: I'll fill this out later.

STRENGTHS: Her intelligence, moral strength, and resilience.

WEAKNESSES: She's in a low position in society at the moment, and hasn't got any magical powers.

BACKGROUND: She used to be a wealthy Nobyl. However, her family was not very well-known, and they did not attend the ball at which all the Nobyls were hypnotized. They were peacefully at home. They've had their share of troubles, however. At the start of the ten-year timeskip, Lord Helion drove them off their estate and took it for himself. He's their family's archenemy, not least because he wants to marry Zardina, but she won't marry him. The family now lives by themselves, eking out a living from their tiny farm in the woods, and will eventually join the Resistance.

Other facts which are not included in the form: Her pronouns are she/her, she's about 16, and may be shipped with another of my characters.

Documenting, documenting... 

NAME: Kalarix pur Westchoice
SPECIES: Human
JOB/TITLE: Wanderer. Once a Nobyl.
APPEARANCE: Soft pale skin, light blue pupils, matted, unkempt black hair, has fine hands with thin fingers. Nearly always has a distrustful, defensive expression on him, and is actually quite good looking. Average height. 
PERSONALITY: Suspective and cautious by nature, but also somewhat rebellious at the same time. Always feels insecure.
HOME: Long Gate, a city to the west of Kyngdom.
MOST OFTEN SEEN AT: Unfixed. He wanders.
FRIEND OR MENTOR: None, at least not just yet.
ENEMY OR RIVAL: No one in paticular, if you don't count your own mind.
FAVORITE POSSESSION OR OBJECT: The enchanted ring-shaped choker made of 'jade' around his neck. It's currently the only thing keeping him at a stable sanity level.
MOTTO OR FAVORITE SAYING: I'M. NOT. SICK!
STRENGTHS: Resourceful and determined. Always on guard. Logical.
WEAKNESSES: His insecurity. And the hallucinations he keeps having that impair his reasoning.
BACKGROUND: Kalarix is an...anomaly. He's been prone to hallucinations ever since his childhood, to the extent that he can't even tell the diffrence between truth and fiction. His family nearly went broke trying to cure him, so he faked his suicide to escape into the rest of Kyngdom. He knows he's better off wandering than weighing them down, but he craves for a normal life deep inside.

STRENGTHS: Athletic, intelligent, independent, can adapt quickly to new situations.
WEAKNESSES: Slow to trust, stubborn.
BACKGROUND: Back when she was a child, she was left on the doorstep of the Grand Library (which I'll post an excerpt on in Myths & Legends one of these days). Back then, the Grand Library had several dozen Librarians and was bustling with patrons, but now as it becomes forgotten and almost nobody visits many of the Librarians have left and now it's just her, Sam, and Yeg. She was taken in by the Librarians and the Library and raised by them, and when she was old enough she became an Apprentice Librarian, and then a Librarian, and eventually the High Librarian (because all the other Librarians left or died over the years and she was pretty much the only one availible to take the job when Skev died).

 

NAME: Sam (short for Samantha) Zagrobelna, she/her
AGE: 20ish
SPECIES: Human
JOB/TITLE: A Senior Librarian of the Grand Library, also a talented warrior.

APPEARANCE: Light brown skin, dark brown eyes. Dark brown curly hair in an undercut
(the short side is close to the skin (although not close enough that you
can see the skin) and the long side is about chin to shoulder length). Short, always smiling.

WEAKNESSES: Too trusting, sometimes naive, likely to mouth off.
BACKGROUND: She was raised by a group of travelers, who found her abandoned as a child, where she learned several useful skills, including how to fight and how to pick pockets. When she was 13 she struck out on her own, and by the time she was 14 she ended up finding the Library and becoming an Apprentice Librarian.

 

NAME: Yeg, he/they/no pronouns
AGE: Unknown
SPECIES: Librarian's Assistant.
A mysterious species endemic to the Grand Library who exist to help the Librarians. Yeg is thought to be the last of them, as all the rest have died or gone dormant.
JOB/TITLE: Librarian's Assistant
APPEARANCE: Yeg is about a foot tall and almost entirely hairless, except for his ears, paws and tail, which look like that of a cat. He wears a too-large turtleneck sweater or hoodie, and all that is visible of his head are his two giant eyes and his cat ears. His lil cat feetpaws can be seen just poking out from underneath his sweater. He has short, stubby arms, usually tucked against his chest, but they can extend to over ten times their length, which is handy for reaching books on high shelves.
PERSONALITY: Quite the oddball. The only word he says is "yeg."
HOME: Grand Library
MOST OFTEN SEEN AT: Grand Library
FRIEND OR MENTOR: The Librarians of the Grand Library.
ENEMY OR RIVAL: Unknown.
FAVORITE POSSESSION OR OBJECT: Yeg. Yeggity yeg yeg, yeg!
MOTTO OR FAVORITE SAYING: Yeg.

STRENGTHS: Yeg.

WEAKNESSES: Yeg.
BACKGROUND: Sprang from the magic of the Library long ago and has lived there helping the Librarians ever since.
OTHER: The language of his species is quite the mystery and consists entirely of one or two words, although what word that is varies between individuals, so one might say only "yeg" and another might say only "eep" for their entire lives. However, they can always understand each other, along with many other languages, and through their link to the Library all Initiated Librarians (the term "Initiated Librarians" covers Apprentices, Librarians, Senior Librarians, and the High Librarian) can understand them as well.

Under Lightbane’s rule, the Shadefriend pack was scattered. Lightbane tried to kill all possible heirs to his position (the Shadefriend pack, unlike other wolves, accepts female wolves as alpha). Eclipse barely escaped. (Scorchblaze made a deal with Lightbane, and promised to help Lightbane track down Eclipse.) Eclipse fled, eventually being found by Quetzal, the hummingbird. 

 

here's Quetzal's form:

STRENGTHS: beak, claws, and wit are all very sharp, proving him to be a formidable enemy despite his tiny size.

WEAKNESSES: extremely tiny, and therefore is not taken seriously.

BACKGROUND: he used to be a Nobyl's pet before he escaped and eventually found Eclipse.

 

I'll post Scorchblaze's and Lightbane's forms later.

(May 2, 2023 - 3:43 pm)

NAME: Tarava
SPECIES: human
JOB/TITLE: Tarava pur Lamour of the Estate of Lamour
APPEARANCE: Pretty; long, wavy brown hair that's either loose or braided around her head. Her eyes are light blue in sunshine and dark blue in the nighttime or when they're in shadow. She's tall, graceful and regal.
PERSONALITY: Impulsive, loving, kind; she's passionate about the things she feels deeply about, but she's perfect at hiding her feelings, and is both clever and quick-witted.
HOME: Her palace in the city of Evranel, northern Kyngdom. The palace is hers, as her parents have died.
MOST OFTEN SEEN AT: Her palace, or, lately, the palace of Rulkan pur Abadore; she also has quite a few other friends among the Nobyls, and spends time at their palaces or at pretty much any party that's going.
FRIEND OR MENTOR: Kalam; he isn't a Nobyl, but fairly high up on the social ladder all the same, and is helping her in her support of the Resistance.
ENEMY OR RIVAL: Catastrophe and anyone else who threatens Kyngdom. However, no one knows that she's supporting the Resistance, and therefore her only apparent rival is a Nobyl girl who says she likes Rulkan.
FAVORITE POSSESSION OR OBJECT: A necklace that used to be her mother's. It has a silver chain and a sapphire-and-silver pendant.
MOTTO OR FAVORITE SAYING: Go ahead and dream - you can't be the worse for it.
STRENGTHS: She's good at acting one way when she feels another, and she can adapt perfectly to almost any situation. She's very clear where she stands: she hates Catastrophe, and she'll do anything to help the Resistance.
WEAKNESSES: She is a bit too impulsive, will help anyone who needs it even if it goes against her interests, and is slightly in love with Rulkan pur Abadore, who is a firm supporter of Catastrophe.
BACKGROUND: She's very wealthy and powerful, especially as her parents died
and she now controls their estates and fortunes. At the beginning of the
ten-year timeskip, she was only nine, and knew very little of what was
actually happening in Kyngdom. Her family was always in high favor with
Catastrophe, and now she is too, as well as having several powerful
friends among the other Nobyls. Despite this, however, she's really
sympathetic to the Resistance and helps them as much as she can. No
one suspects anything, at any rate not yet.

(May 24, 2023 - 9:13 pm)

NAME: Kalam
SPECIES: human
JOB/TITLE: He works for the Resistance, but he isn't a Nobyl and therfore has no real title.
APPEARANCE: Average height, secretive face, dark, alive eyes (as in eyes that are
dark and alive), a way of "blending in" with a crowd of people and not
being very noticeable, rather good-looking.

PERSONALITY: Like Tarava, he's able to easily adapt to any situation, and he can get
along well with almost anybody. He's usually cool-headed,
quick-thinking, and gifted with a fair amount of wit.

HOME: He lives in Evranel, when he isn't traveling on errands for Tarava or for himself.

MOST OFTEN SEEN AT: Tarava's palace, where he spends a lot of his time; when he isn't in Evranel, he travels all over Kyngdom.
FRIEND OR MENTOR: He and Tarava are close friends; he's always been linked to the pur Lamour family, and has known Tarava since she was quite young.
ENEMY OR RIVAL: Catastrophe, most Nobyls
FAVORITE POSSESSION OR OBJECT: Um - maybe a dagger or something? I really have no idea ;)
MOTTO OR FAVORITE SAYING: If you're not following your morals, what can you be following?
STRENGTHS: He knows his way well over most of Kyngdom, and has several friends in good places.
WEAKNESSES: He isn't a Nobyl and has no magic powers or particular influence. Furthermore, he's sometimes too confident in his ability to see if someone is good or bad, which can get him into trouble.
BACKGROUND: His grandparents were linked to the pur Lamour branch of the Nobyls, and
were quite influential at one point. He is still more or less
high-class, and though he has never had anything to do with Catastrophe
etc. etc., he isn't suspected as being part of the Resistance. He
decided to join the Resistance because his position has enabled him to
see Catastrophe's cruelty, and also because he's dissatisfied with just
sitting around letting other people do things. (He's a very "action"
person)
OTHER: He's around thirty and he/him.

NAME: Rulkan
SPECIES: human
JOB/TITLE: Rulkan pur Abadore of Palace Everin
APPEARANCE: Tall, handsome, with black hair and dark eyes, and a rather arrogant air. Not much else to say about the way he looks :)

PERSONALITY: Decided, calm, sure of himself, and committed to his cause.

HOME: He has several palaces in Kyngdom; one of them is in Evranel (all these characters are very centered around Evranel)
MOST OFTEN SEEN AT: His palace or his friends' palaces; also at whatever party's going
FRIEND OR MENTOR: He scarcely trusts anyone because of his position. However, he always completely trusted his grandfather, who gave him encouragement and advice before he died of old age somewhere in the ten-year timeskip.
ENEMY OR RIVAL: I'm not saying here, it would give too many spoilers ;]
FAVORITE POSSESSION OR OBJECT: A sword that his grandfather gave him
MOTTO OR FAVORITE SAYING: Are you so sure?
STRENGTHS: He's sure of himself, and he's fair-minded and is fairly skillful at handing conversations.
WEAKNESSES: He doesn't feel he can trust any of the people around him, and he's somewhat dissatisfied with the life he's leading.

BACKGROUND: His parents died when he was fifteen, leaving him to later try to gain
control of his property from an uncle who wanted to keep it. He's
managed to get power and influence, and by now has quite a bit of power
under Catastrophe. He's absolutely trusted and often goes to places like
Lord Helion's ball, although sometimes he wishes he could forget about
all of it and have a more peaceful life. Not that that's what he's going
to get, obviously...
OTHER: He's around twenty-one, and he/him

Hey everyone! Kind of late to the Kyngdom party :P 

I honestly don't know if the Nobyl RP is still alive?? The last post was from weeks ago, but I'd love to continue it. So, here's my charrie! I'll might post her forms on the Nobyl RP too, I just want to have them here :)

NAME: Arietis pur Venori

GENDER/PRONOUNS: female, she/her

AGE: 15 or 16. She looks younger and acts older. 

SPECIES: Human

JOB/TITLE: Nobyl

APPEARANCE: She’s slightly shorter than average, and slender but not skinny with delicate, graceful limbs and a deep bronze skin tone. She has dark brown eyes that always seem to be judging you, a small nose tipped slightly upwards at the end, and full lips that never seem to genuinely smile. Her hair is a very dark brown, almost black, and is about shoulder-blade length and slightly wavy. She often wears it down or pinned up in an elegant bun. Most of the time, she’ll be wearing long, lavish dresses, expensive jewelry, and lace-up ankle boots with slight heels — but she usually won’t sacrifice practicality and mobility. Likely to be wearing a ring with a poisonous spike (see FAVORITE POSSESSION OR OBJECT), and probably has at least two daggers on her at all times.

PERSONALITY: She’s sophisticated and rather elegant, yet she’s also very practical and down-to-earth. If she needs something done, she’ll do it herself, because she typically doesn’t trust anyone else to do something for her — and besides, she can probably do it better herself anyway. Generally, she has a very no-nonsense attitude, and is very decisive and stubborn. She can be a bit arrogant and haughty at times, and has a tendency to make condescending remarks. Once she’s made up her mind about something, it takes a lot to change her opinion. She’s quick to judge, slow to trust, and even slower to actually like someone. She isn’t entirely cold-hearted, though — once someone gains her respect and trust, she’ll be much nicer to them, if begrudgingly. She’s very capable, independent, and mature.

HOME: The sprawling Pur Venori Estate in Northwest Kyngdom — just to the north of Olde Windswood, I think. 

MOST OFTEN SEEN AT: The Pur Venori Estate

FRIEND OR MENTOR: Her mentor was Evin Soler, the middle-aged groundskeeper and undercover Resistance agent who looked over the Estate. Her father, Arfon pur Venori, was also something like a mentor to her when he was still alive. She sympathizes with the Resistance and respects their efforts, though she’s not a part of it. 

ENEMY OR RIVAL: Catastrophe and Nobyls loyal to him. She’s trying to become more powerful and influential by getting into the circle of high-ranking Nobyls loyal to Catastrophe and from there try to invade Catastrophe’s inner circle and attempt to gain information on him that can be used to take him down. However, she’s not affiliated with the Resistance or any other established group against Catastrophe’s rule — yet, that is. And, generally, she hates people who cheat, go back on promises, and stab others in the back. 

FAVORITE POSSESSION OR OBJECT: An ornate emerald ring Evin gave her to protect herself; it has a retractable poisonous spike. 

MOTTO OR FAVORITE SAYING: “I suppose I’ll have to do it myself, then.”

STRENGTHS: She’s confident, independent, and practical. Strong moral compass. Very strong-willed and stubborn and is great at persuading people to do things. Good at keeping secrets and will never go back on a promise. Has a lot of insider information about high-ranking Nobyls. Adequate in hand-to-hand/close-range combat and good with a knife. Her biggest asset is probably the fact that no one would expect her — a well dressed, rather elegant Nobyl — to know how to fight.

WEAKNESSES: She has difficulty expressing her feelings, and can be arrogant and haughty without meaning to be at times. She’s lousy with long-range weapons. Not very trusting. Terrible at collaborating with others. 

BACKGROUND: (This is the abridged version; I have a more detailed version of her background typed up but this is long enough as is, so uh) Arietis was raised by her father (her mother died in childbirth with her), and growing up, she was naive to what was actually happening in Kyngdom. Her father, a high-ranking Nobyl, sympathized with the Resistance and did all he could to support them. He attended the Winter Masquerade where he was captured and sent to one of Catastrophe’s prisons, where he eventually managed to escape and return home, though he was never the same afterwards. In the meantime, though, Arietis was taken care of by the staff of the Estate. She befriended the groundskeeper, Evin Soler, who was an undercover Resistance agent working with her father. He told her about what was actually happening across Kyngdom and taught her combat techniques and other skills, hoping she’d one day join the Resistance. When Arietis was nine years old, a few years after her father returned, a staff member working undercover for Catastrophe discovered Evin’s allegiance to the Resistance, and killed him (the spy hadn’t figured out that her father was supporting the Resistance as well). In response, her father fired the remaining Estate staff, fearing another spy. Her father became increasingly paranoid and spent more and more time in his study, researching a way to overthrow Catastrophe, but Arietis never found out what he had discovered, if anything. So, Arietis had to care for herself and the estate alone. However, her father’s health began to fail, and he passed away when she was twelve, leaving her a large inheritance and the Estate. She decided to use her wealth and high ranking to try and infiltrate the circle of Nobyls who are loyal to Catastrophe. She’s hesitant to join the Resistance, however, because she isn’t entirely sure she can trust them; besides, she would much rather organize her own missions than be sent on ones. She intends to put her plan into action at Lord Helion’s ball, though things will likely not go exactly as planned…

 

That turned out wayyy lengthier than I intended, sorry!! Thank you so much for reading this through, Admin! 

I'm excited to join Kyngdom; it's something I've always wanted to do, and I made some valiant attempts in the past, but this time I'm actually serious about joining :P

Let's hope the formatting isn't messed up...

I think the Nobyl RP is still more or less alive - Zealatom, who was participating, says he's still interested, and certainly I am :)

This is mostly a work in progress

 

NAME: Celine “CeCe” Rhea Thalassa
SPECIES: water dragon (can shapeshift)

JOB/TITLE: self-titled: The Mystical All-Knowing Zealous Entity (M.A.Z.E. for short. As in, aMAZEing!!), no job as of now but maybe later
APPEARANCE: like water, I can take many forms, but my favorite one is a 10 foot long, rose sunset beast, with teal scales all over. A long, elegant snout, honey eyes, tapering, prehensile tail, and curved, retractable claws. No wings for this dragon, I can slither through the air like a snake.
PERSONALITY:
 knowledgeable, good hearted, enthusiastic, impatient, takes wonder and delight in everything (so naturally curious), impulsive, loyal,

HOME: where the mist meets the depths of the ocean, turning the water sparkling and gold, where the world is vast and wondrous, towering cliffs making fun obstacle courses as the sun settles in (on maps they just label this place the FireMist Sea, because at certain times of day, the sun sets a fiery hue to everything) I live in a homey cave set in a cliffside on a very isolated island, with thousands of miles of water surrounding all sides. Someday, I will go exploring, but not yet as I am still too young (ugh!) to fly that distance without rest
MOST OFTEN SEEN AT: the library (in my cave home), curled up beside the fire (and no, fire does not evaporate me), snout deep in a story, learning about the world beyond my island, or the beach, collecting cool finds
FRIEND OR MENTOR: Saffy, maybe more later on
ENEMY OR RIVAL:
 The occasional paper cut
FAVORITE POSSESSION OR OBJECT: a canvas knapsack, all the better to put amazing finds in! And it’s magical too, so it always knows what you need, and when you put something in, there’s no added weight. Can’t be lost.
MOTTO OR FAVORITE SAYING: there’s treasure everywhere if you just know how to look! (Inspired by Calvin and Hobbes)
STRENGTHS: research!!!, ok with failure
WEAKNESSES: waiting, not being in the middle of the action (though oc, there isn't a lot of action where I live, so mostly read action books), stopping to think, not reasonable and no common sense
BACKGROUND: as a day-old dragonet, my parents went hunting and never returned. I never knew what happened but my older sister took care of me and taught me everything I needed to know. I don’t miss or mourn them, I had everything I needed with Sapphire, or Saffy, as I call her.

Age: as needed. Undetermined.

Pronouns: she/they (as of now)
