Nyx darted under
Chatterbox: Pudding's Place
Nyx darted under
Nyx darted under the cover of an overhanging rock in the cliff face, and wiped her short wet hair out of her eyes. She scanned the valley below her feet, but it was raining too heavily to see anything. It was dark, too, but that didn't matter to her. If anything, it helped.
Leaning against the hard stone once more, the girl continued to move forward. One foot in front of the other, slowly along a narrow ledge. She gripped the rock wall hard. One foot in front of the other, slowly, slowly. It quickly turned into a rhythm, and she no longer needed to think. Until the wall that she was trusting her life with fell away, and her with it.
She tumbled to her right, away from the cliff, off the ledge, down, down, down towards the tall trees and the raging river, swollen with rain. The cape around her neck billowed upwards, surrounding her with a soft black cloud. Nyx closed her eyes and thought, if I die, at least I will die in the darkness, in a storm. The same way I came. Then her head hit something hard yet soft, like a boulder covered in a blanket, and she knew no more.
Nyx was fast asleep with a welt growing fast under her hair, but she was safe. A giant eagle had seen her falling, even with the pelting rain, and had swooped to catch her. He flew into the night, away to his aerie with the sleeping girl balanced between his wings.

So, yes, this is a RP. Here's a charrie sheet:

This is my sheet:
Name- Nyx Mavros
Age- 15
Appearance- Small, with short black hair and dark blue eyes. She has light skin, but it has been tanned from her many years of living out in the open. She wears black leggings tucked into dark brown leather boots, and she has a long cape around her neck, fastened with a silver bird clasp. It goes down to her feet. She has a few freckles, and would probably have more if she was exposed to more sunlight. Her shirt is tight, and it has long sleeves. It is black. Her leather belt is dark brown, and she has her dagger sheath tied around her leg.
Power- Night and darkness are her strengths. She can see in the dark, but not so well in the day. She isn't nocturnal, but she wishes she could be. She greatly prefers night to daytime.
Background- Nyx was born in a large city called Babylon (not the one you know, a different one), and both of her parents were important people. Her mother was one of three government representatives for their city, and her father was a veteran. He had been a commander in the Great War.
When Nyx turned 10, she was sent to live with her mother's sister in the valley woods. Her parents wanted to give her time to find out what her power was. She discovered almost immediately that she was a child of the Night, and so her aunt let her go when she was 13. She lived by herself until recently, when she joined a group of people around her age, in the same situation as her. They trained to be warriors.

That's when this story starts. Nyx is running from some of her friends in a training game, and then she falls. Have fun with the story, and sorry about the large amount of writing!

Here's my character for my reservation:
Name (it's kind of fun to coordinate with the power, but it doesn't need to)- Cecilia Shift
Age (12-18)- 15
Appearance- Shoulder-length black hair, grey almond-shaped eyes, tall, skinny, wears a loose black shirt, wears tight blue pants and steel-tipped boots, has a dark green cape with a clasp with a black jewel on it
Power (only one, please)- Can turn into a shadow (can I somehow relate this to Nyx's power?)
Background- She was born in the city of Janga (I use this city for a lot of things, you might see it around some of my other threads. Just know it's not the same place) to a small, poor family. Her mother was a shopkeeper and her father was a slave. She was orphaned at a young age due to her mother dying of sickness when she was nine. she stays in hiding, not knowing who her father was at all. She is a lone wolf and rarely trusts anyone.
Other- Nothing really

Cool, Lucy! How do you want to relate to Nyx's power? I think that it sounds like a fabulous idea, but I'm not quite sure what you mean.

Maybe they could be partners in crime or something. I think they could have banded together because they had similar powers or something.

Okay, here's Scarlet's personality: Intense, fiery, determined, generally masks her true feelings, bossy and loves being a leader.

@Kitten, that actually sounds like me irl!
@Lucy, sure! Does Cecilia live at the Children of Power camp and she knows Nyx from there, or might they have know eachother from childhood? Maybe they will meet up later, after whatever happens with Nyx'x fall...
(June 22, 2017 - 11:51 am)
I think they should probably meet up after Nyx falls, just because I'm not 100% sure what the plot/time/place of this RP is.
(June 22, 2017 - 4:45 pm)
