Under the White Hawk*Discussion*

[PippinTook]

Hello! This is the discussion thread for Under the White Hawk. The rpg is based on the island of Dai Sheri. there are 4 races of humankind here, and I will post them here. Only 1 person per race for now. After all races taken up, 2 more people can join. So claim your charactar before its too late! The first race is,

Aiekanad (EYE-kahn-ahd) reside in the Virkahnel Desert

basic appearance:
the color of any available die that fits personal preferences… and houses. Usual light eyes, mostly blue and gray. Occasional brown is always a light honey/caramel color, and very rare. Multi-colored body paints line nearly ever part of their exposed skin.
Men- Wear loose-legged pants of a common dull brown to prevent overheating. Accompanied by the occasional vest.
Women- (Dressed much like today’s Arabian belly-dancer thingies) Wear sleeveless tops that expose midriff, though some have sheer sleeves. Wear loose-legged pants much like the men, though all articles of clothing have tassels on the hems or ends of the sleeves.
Men and women usually wear simple colors for day to day routines, but during bonfire nights and specific ceremonies the colors vary as much as the hair tones do.

Beliefs:
respect war and fighting deeply; kill if there is a good reason (occasional hired assassin, though the profession is frowned upon in their society)

characteristics/skills:
Very graceful and balanced; can easily perform complicated maneuvers and maintain balance with ease.

favored/common weaponry:
Usually small, handheld weapons that allow for quick movements; nothing as bulky as a sword or axe. Occasionally use wrist blades for stealth, or in the case of well-trained fighters (rare) they’re given a set of small scythe like blades, etched with runes of their house and other things that mean something only to the user.

Attitudes:
A people of few words, usually use hand signals to communicate. Stealthy and skilled with any weapon. Sometimes morbid in the fact that they honor death and life equally. Level headed in battle but easily angered. Very diligent and stubborn, though eager to help those that need it.

A thin chain is suspended from her nose piercing to the lobe piercing on her right ear. One massive tattoo runs from the left side of her neck, down around her back and right shoulder and all the way down her entire right arm, tapering off towards her middle finger; no specific design, mainly sharp angles and curves. Wiry and slender, and average height. Dark skin, riddled with scars, that sets off her eyes. Looks like a stereotypical pirate/hoodlum.

Personality-
Stubborn and bull-headed. Strong willed and loyal. Very violent if temper is raised enough, though it’s been found as an incredibly hard thing to do. Usually level headed and very playful/tricky/ornery. Sometimes very uncomfortable when on the mainland for prolonged periods of time.

Has been on or around ships nearly her entire life. Only time she wasn’t, was when her ship was marooned on the coast on the east side of the island. Her and the crew were taken in by the Aiekanad people and taught to survive in harsh conditions, though few were trained to fight their way. They stayed there for the course of the two years it took to repair the massive damage done to the ship, and she’s been on the sea since, pirating and sailing.

[PippinTook]

ok, last thing. This is the prophecy that was spoken after Daedarah'tar was inprisoned, but was fabled and lost, ok.

The Prophecy

With Fendara lost,
Sea, desert, forest, mountain,
All will come apart

Darkness spreads again
By hands once thought worthy,
Faded fear long past.

Under the banner
High King’s regal White Hawk,
The High Blood will rise

Rebound and hidden,
Life’s second guardian,
Is put away to rest

All races will join,
Together in battle,
With the White Hawk again.

[Darky]

Hey Pip, Mindeth you if I take the spot of Sankorya?

Name: Lé'Drin Di'Armid
Sex: Female
Race: Sankorya
Age: 16

Appearance: Tall, standing close to 5'11. Russet hair found, most often, in a braid that hangs nearly to a slender waist. A richly tanned complexion, nearly the colour of dark honey with a few unseemly freckles scattered over her nose and cheeks. Large, insightful eyes are a shade lighter than her hair, flecked with amber in the light.

Attire: Can usually be seen wearing a tunic-like outfit of dark green, slit up the sides to reveal an off-white under tunic. Leggings sporting a fawny brown set off with leather softshoes.

Personality: Born to a family of little to no ranking, she's grown up to be somewhat of a reckless, free-spirited young woman, to say the least. Rather than doing chores, she can often be found away in the forest hunting, or looking to the needs of some hurt animals, as she has some skill in healing. Climbing in the trees and having full-fledged sling-shot wars with neighbouring familys. She's known widely as a tomboy, and while with close friends and in groups she is loud-spoken and bold, without companions to touch elbows with and back her up, she is often soft-spoken, demure and something akin to shiy.

Wepons: With some skill with the sling shot, and even more at the bow and arrow, she has the ability to catch her own meal with a scant amount of trouble, yet she's hardly able to hold her own in a battle...but who knows?

[PippinTook]

WHOOOHOOOO!!! go Darkeh! okay, everyone, this is one of my very good friends, Darky! I am sooo happy you joined up! go you! okay, so we've got 4 peoples, and only 2 more can join. but if no one else joins, thats okay. *giggles insanely* okay, that's all I must say. au weiderzehn(did I spell that right? Light, Pip if you plan on speaking german, spell it right)


edit; Darky friend, get on msn dear

no, you didn't.. it's aufwiedersehn[weird, I know] Yayness, now down to busness...what's our plot?

[PippinTook]

yes indeedy! Ok, the Fendara tree, which sustains life on the island is dying. That's not good. The only other Fendara tree is in Mount Daeternya, where the Dark Lord is imprisoned. So, we need to get that tree to Ci'tinai. Our charactars are *supposedly* descended from the leaders that won the last battle against Denarah'tar. So, somehow we all need to get to Ci'tinai, maybe through a dream of somesort. yeah. thats a simple plot outline for now. Any good ideas?
-pip

[Legoles]

That map was made in Photoshop...

[Fimbrethil]

Sankorya, that's who I'm goning to be as one of the extra characters. I hope Darky doesnt mind but I figured we could be form different villages or something like that. anyway...

Name: Närtalya Vinguin (It's sounds like a french name,that's the best I can explain it.) Talya (tall-ya) for short

Sex: Female

Race: Sankorya

Apperance: Not tall but not short about 5'6''. Dark blonde hair that hangs to the middle of her back and is kept in a bun most of the time. Very tan and muscular. Not at all like a man though. Red eyes that seem as if they could glow in the dark, but they don't. Among her people her eyes are nota problem, but in the outside world they are not easily forgotten.

Clothes: Wears breeches(sp?) and boots and a regular shirt and is not much for the more feminie dress.

Abouts: In her village her parents are very important. She grew up a good little girl who learned to ride and shot an arrow very well. She is rather shy and isn't very outgoing, at first. Underneath there is someone just waiting to get and expereance the world. Thoguh she will never be as outgoing as some.

Weapons: A finely made bow given to her by her father. She is good for catching meals and when she is angery she will sit in the trees and pick enemies off this way, other wise she will not fight.

Horse: Loyal and loving she is a very big for a mare. Brèla (bra(likea donkey would bray)-la (like the word la)

Is that okay?

[PippinTook]

Great Fim! I like your charactar! I will start a bit of a charactar formation, and we can get started soon, if you like!

[Arcala]

I guess I’ll be the last character then, if no one minds. My character is Aiekanad.

Name: Sakaiye (sa-KAI-ye)

Eyes: a rare amber, lightly flecked with gold.
Hair: long, black, and tightly braided
Clothing: loose pants of a sandy color, with a leather vest. Gold paint swirls in intricate designs across his body.
Weapons: two black knives
Personality: quiet, like the majority of his race. Doesn’t give his trust or loyalty easily, but remains true once his loyalty is given.
Steed: Aralia, a dun color with a black mane, tail, and legs. (much like a Tarpan, if you know what I mean).

Is this good?

[Fimbrethil]

I don't see where it would be a problem....we can tie him down and put lipgloss on him! YAY! *beats head against wall* I'll stop now.
