Young Writers Society

Hi everyone!

This is my first storybook, but I love the idea of them on the website. OK, lets cut to the chase:

Storyline:

A group of exiles, led by 'Aedomir' (see below) are travelling through the wilderness, hunted by enemies. They are 'Goblins'. The name of the country is Saragiil, and it is believed the goblins come from abroad, in a place called 'Ethina', but nobody knows where it is. The setting starts with a group of golbins attacking the camp, and Aedomir's men getting slaughtered.

Characters:

OK, this is for Aedomir:

Name: Aedomir (of course)

Age: 39

Race: Human

Class: Outlawed Assassin

Specific skills: Can summon a 'Guardian'. They come in whatever form the creator desires, but he can only use it once.

Possessions: A bow with arrows, and a sword named Slingroffe

Personality: He's strong, heroic, sometimes stupid - he will go single handed against a hundred goblins.

Description: He's tall, long brown hair, stubble, green overall.



Name: Kuzzar (see below)

Age: 4572

Race: Goblin

Class: Leader of baddies

Specific skills: Can control the weak-minded

Possessions: A staff named Faragund

Personality: He's powerful, but a bit pathetic up front, feeble etc

Description: He's small, reddy purply skin.



Please could you follow that layout when introducing your character. I will start when I think we have enough people.

Races:

Pick from these races for your character:#

For the outlaws
Elves
Men
Dwarves
Why not have a few women too? A bit of romance? I don't care

For the enemies
Goblins
Dragons
Sorcerers
In fact this isnt very strict, the enemies are mental with soldiers.

To get a few things straight

The leader for the 'goodies' is Aedomir
The leader for the 'baddies' is called Kuzarr
You can add other people who aren't outlaws, they might be soldiers, messengers, in fact they end up going to a city where there is a battle, so use your imagination!

This will be great!

Oh and No killing off other characters without the creators permission!

Sounds fun. Not bad for your first storybook. PM me if you need any help or have questions.

Personality: A leader -- almost always has an idea, and rarely keeps it to herself. She gets shy occasionally, but not often.
Appearance: Long, black hair (surprisingly dark for an elf), and blue eyes. Her skin is pale, her figure tall and skinny.

Hope this was okay!

lol. ^_^ I hereby draft my character to the cause.

Name: Robin

Age: 19

Race: Human

Class: Outlaw

Personality: Outwardly, he is quiet. Because fo hsi youth he is quick to follow other's orders and a little clumsy. However, in battle he becomes focused and deadly, not letting up until the job is done. This behavior is similar for most things he has to do: if he is set a task and decides he's going to do it--he won't give until it's done. He believes--religiously--in keeping promises made to others and to yourself.

Specific skills: He has a strong healing ability, but it doesn't work the way normal gifts do. It's empathic, which means while he is healing another person he can 'feel' their thoughts and emotions. But none of you know this because he has kept it a secret. Despite his personality, he is dangerous with a sword, drawing a hidden inner strength whenever faced by enemies.

Possessions: The clothes on his back, a handsome sword, and a cross neckless he guards as he guards his life.

Great characters everyone!

*gasp* A BAD character too? *eyes all spakly* That could work out so well! *goes off to plot* Is it okay if I introduce him later on?

(hmmm is my race alright?)

Yay, that makes 8! I think we have enoguht to start now, I will post the first few paragraphs, and work a bit harder on the plot.

Maybe - Its set around... erm... well, LotR sought of time really, sterotypical fantasy, I should have said that.

Grat characters eveyone, I think it would be best if we just did frmo two viewpoints to start with, unless people split off frm the group etc. Good team and bad team I suppose. I will also introduce over character as we go along.

*goes off to write*

Methinks good team and bad team should post in different colors (ex, red for bad and blue for good) and then a third color when they interact with the other team (ex: green). Just an idea, so people who had bad memories can remember who's on which team. =P

thats clever!

I think we'll do just that:

red for evil team

blue for allied team

green for when they meet.



And can we not have a storybook, where you only write frm your point of view. Do it as if you were controlgin the general team, but focus sepicfically on your character more than others.

(let's start!)

Aedomir sat on the log, admiring the roaring flames as they leapt high into the night sky. He could hear the sound of footsteps closing in, and heavy pant climbing past the fiery crackles.

"Aedomir! They... They are coming! Up the mountain!"

Aedomir glared to his right. A tall man, with long, dark hair skidded tto a break in the snow. His name was Robin, and he could be dead within five minutes. "I know," Aedomir replied, sighing and turning back to the embracing heat. "Here we go again!"

After a moment of apprehension, Aedomir swiftly rose and drew Slingroffe, the mightiest blade hsi fingers had ever rouched upon. It flickered under the midnight air, catching the snow as it gently flurried to the ground. "To arms men! War is upon us!"

He heard a cacophony of drawing swords, and the clanking of unsheathing blades. "Form up, to me!"

They leapt into a curved row, and began to mutter a near silent prayer under their breath.

Aedomir studied the horde of savages as they bounded towards him. "Let's send these shadows back to their land!" He cried, and leapt into raging combat.

Ooo, sounds challenging. It'll be hard, since the narration tends to reflect the mind of the character who's POV you're in. Hmm. Does it count if you just write your characters POV but make sure to mention what other people are doing? (which I guess means you'd be limited by what they said their character was doing last, unless you are encouraging us to actively control other ppls characters =P)
