Renaissance - [Open]

Welcome to all those who wish to join this storybook, right now this storybook is open for joining to all who wish to participate but who will follow the given rules and will respect the storybook's general intention.

The storybook takes place in Firth, a simple village-like place, at the base of the Ashaii Mountains. They are supplied water by the Arrowhead River and are in a constant winter where it is very difficult to cultivate crops so instead they raise cattle, feeding them imported foods so that they, in turn, may feast upon the meats. They are fortified food from a smaller village not situated on the map but nearest the Twin Towers near the Frothing Rapids. In this village, they are plagued by deaths and mysteries. At the moment they are also plagued by the Dogshead flue, brought to them by a traveller from one of the larger capitols. Now, wrought with sickness the folk are fighting amongst themselves believing in witchcraft and devil worship. All the while, murders are going about unchecked and by a sociopathic woman who believes that she must sacrifice to the Gods to end this plague. There are now five young adults who are left untouched by the plagued, isolated from the others - divided in two houses. They must discover the murdering woman and end her killing spree, but they must also be wary of catching the plague that runs it's own murderous course throughout the village. Time is short, and the cure is too far to be jumping into their laps. Can they discover the cure in time and end the killings before the entire village crumbles beneath their very noses?

Sounds very much like a book's long pitch but that is the entire idea of the storybook that I've been working on for a long time. If you find that you have some suggestions then feel free to message me. I like that others participate in this event.

Now onto the rules :
No Godmoding.
No explicit/sexual content.
No Mary-Sues or Gary-Lous.
Please do not curse excessively (You may curse but not every five words!)
All other storybook general rules apply.

Now, it is up to the rest of you to fill up these spaces and others can join too. You don't necessarily have to die or anything but I will need lots and lots of extras because I am also going to be the masked murderer. You will need to decide whom it is; she will not have a bio.

Once the extras have been counted I will be putting a list up here as to whom may die from first to last due to the sickness. You do not have to die right away but please don't hold up the thread because you decided that you didn't want to die.

Thank you.

Write on,

Name: Alice Priggs
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Physical Description: Alice has wavy hair that's between dirty blonde and dark brown in color, and it runs down past her shoulders. Her eyes are hazel and kind of dull, and she has bags under them. Alice is lightly freckled and very pale, and her stature is short and emaciated. She wears modest dresses (her favorite color to wear is light blue, and she wears it a lot).
Notable Traits: (Physical) She is really pale. She is so skinny you can practically see through her. (Personality) Alice is very quiet and daydreams a lot. She likes animals and sometimes gives stray cats her dinner rations.
Personality: Alice comes from a middle-class family, but during the recent tough times, they have been somewhat stricken by poverty. These hard times have made her into somebody distant and off in their own world. She barely talks to anybody, even her older sister, Charlotte, and her older brother, Timothy, who she used to be extremely close with. And then they fall sick. So she is trying to pull herself out of her reverie.
Likes: animals, the color blue, swimming (she isn't allowed but does in secret), her siblings, and fruit.
Dislikes: social gatherings, the color orange, lack of womens' rights, sickness, gore, sadness, and winter.
Up for love?: definitely. She falls in love too easily.
Other: none

Mine own biography:

Name: Ren Ahail.
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Physical Description: A thin boy with a slight muscular build, endowed with dark green eyes and black hair. He has chiseled features, and bruises marring his cheeks along with a large scar above his right eye. His clothing consists mainly of worn brown trousers stained with mud and grass, a tight leather vest and a lamb's wool shirt. It isn't much to keep him warm in, but he makes due. Ren's hair falls into his eyes oftentimes and he has one of the other healthy group members cut it for him using wool shears.

Notable Traits: He has a tendancy to bite his nails until they bleed. His neck is covered with scars, as are his chest and torso with bruises as well.

Personality: He is silent, slightly distant but is also a leading figure that plays a great role in the group's social higherarchy. He is the group's founder but doesn't exactly enforce a great many rules. Ren is oftentimes bitter and dislikes any flesh on flesh contact and remains apart from the group even though he participates in everything they do. His wariness exceeds when they are outside of their homes, roaming in the sick infested air.

Likes: Living, his group members, actively participating, chores, work.
Dislikes: Contact, family, water, keeping still, death.
Up for love?: Yes, however tentative he is.

reserving spot

I'll have a spot please.

Alright, so that means we need one last person to fill up the main characters. Then it's everyone else in the village we need- don't forget that there is a mayor and he will have some control over what's going on in the village.

*Steals last spot- dibs on a female!*

Name - Nicholas Carter

Gender - Male

Age - 17

Physical Description - Nicholas has every so slightly wavy, honey blonde hair that goes right past his shoulders - he usually keeps it tied back with a piece of ribbon - just a few pieces fall into his face. He stands at five feet eight inches, and is somewhat muscular. He has misty, gray eyes, and his skin is pale and clean. He has a warm smile that he wears most of the time. Also, he has a three four inch long two inch wide scar on his right wrist - a burn mark, from the old maid his family had; she dropped a burning hot pan and it landed on his wrist.

Notable Traits - He has very soft, clean hands and clean fingernails. He has OCD and likes to stay clean, and fear sickness. He usually has a smile on his face. His hair is almost always tied back, but he refuses to cut it. He has a quirk with his hands where he'll mindlessly move his fingers like he's playing piano.

Personality - Nicholas is that guy who is nice to everyone - not because his parents smiled and told him to act that way, but they beat him into it - yes, strange tactic. Anyways, Nicholas loves to be with people, but he can't stand sick people. He loves music, and is a beautiful pianist. He's notorious for picking up after people, and he himself is always clean.

Likes - Music, piano, people, waking up, being clean, cleaning, being with his friends, staying healthy

Dislikes - Filth, being dirty, sickness - if he's too close to sick people, he flips out and pretty much has a nervous breakdown.

Up for love? - Sure

Other - None

Hope this is okay

Perfectly fine, Fiction! I'll wait for the others to add their characters then we'll see who else joins in. If no one else joins then we'll have stand-ins for the sick and we'll begin sometime soon... but I'd like everyone to keep in mind that I do have exams next week and I will have a major difficulty getting online, also since I'm leaving on vacation just after exams. I'll put a for-sure date on the start soon. Kay?

Name - Victoria Reelison

Gender - Female.

Age - 17

Physical Description - Curly blonde hair- very soft and well taken care of- that falls in ringlets around her face. Victoria has round, big doe-like brown eyes. Her skin is pale- tan would mean she did some work in her life, god forbid!- but her cheeks are round and pink. She's not a creature of substance- sure, she has some hips and curves- but her hands are small and dainty. Oh, and that's not even mentioning the most important part- she's a cripple. It'd take a well-trained eye to see it, but there's something wrong with her right leg- she often favors the weight to her left.

Notable Traits - She curls a strand of her hair when lying to someone she cares about. She will never tell you willingly about being a cripple- she tries to hide it to the best of her ability. very vain about her hair.

Personality - How bluntly to you want be to say this? Victoria is a spoiled snob. She's used to getting what she wants, and not having to get her hands dirty by doing so. She acts like she thinks she'd better than everyone else. She's very blunt, and isn't afraid to say what she thinks. Victoria holds herself with confidence and pose, having the air of someone who knows what they're doing in life. She's a bit vain, and relies heavily on her looks. Victoria is also a braggart- spening ten years under an Italian proffesor'll do that to you.

Under all that- Victoria is fragile. She's a worry-wort, and always irrationally afraid she'll loose another loved one. She has a destructive imagination, one that focuses on the terrible things that could happen. Really, Victoria has never had a real friend- she doesn't know what real friendship is, and is afraid to try it. Her boast of intelligence, however, is correct. She has amazing promblem-solving skills, and knows almost everything under the sun.

Likes - Learning, being intelligent, flowers (Sunflowers in particular), poetry, music, culture, sweets of any sort, jewels, various pretty things, her hair, and money.

Dislikes - Sickness, dying people, dead people, dying/dead love oned, being a cripple, talking about her past, small spaces, and weed. (Ugh, ugly!)

Up for love? - Sure, but it might be conflicted!

Other - ...

Alright, this is going good We'll wait a little longer for others to join -- and to those who will join you do not necessarily have to die... when the cure is found your character'll be healed and such and will be able to be roleplayed like anyone else.

Could I perhaps take a sick person? Maybe...not sure how they'd play a role in it

Yes, of course you can have up to four different characters but you have to make sure you keep track of them all. Also, a sick person is like an extra ; they can give aid to the main characters or give them a little bit of hell. They can do nearly anything aside from being superheroes or anything or the sort... but it's really up to you to decide. It is possible to have more than one woman killing, so they could be helpers to the murdering female role.

Nevermind about having another charrie. I'll stick with what I have

I like the idea and play out of this. I didnt see it until the main spots were taken though.... i would be a sick person but i dont know what i would write for a sick person. Anyway i wanted to ask if maybe possibly you could allow one last main character? Please!! Ive really been looking for a storybook to get into!!!
