I'm bringing back an old storybook I had totally forgotten about. This time I should actually start it.
I excuse myself to all the people who wanted part in my old storybook but I am starting fresh.

Okay.. It is inspired by Tamora Pierce's Beka Cooper
(Not the same I just used the idea of a court of Rogues and a Rogue)
Well! Let's get started!

Plot

The Court of Rogues is the home of thieves, murderers, gamblers, pickpockets and anyone else who lives outside of the law. The Rogue, the ruler of these criminals, is wreaking havoc throughout the kingdom. From poisoning the field of their enemies, interrupting the smooth running of the city and killing anyone in the way.
Krissy Hunter and her friends come up with a dangerous scheme to bring down this powerful Rogue. They must wind themselves through the court, making all the right decisions or it would cost them.


Characters

There is room for quite a few characters in this story, though I can't promise that they will all play a major role in this story. I decided that there should be 20-25 characters in this story. (There is room for more) All the characters have to be part of the Court and have a day-time occupation. Though this takes place in Medieval Times the ages are closer to modern times so, a 19 year old would not be married or have children (unless they wanted too)

Krissy has a band of 5 friends (both girls and boys from ages 14 to 25 please!). They all have a variety
of Rogue talents (Pickpocketing, fighting, gambling, bribes etc).

There can only be 1 Rogue. (Whoever creates this character, be prepared from him or her to die for that is how you bring down the Rogue).
There are 5 servers to the Rogue. These people will fight for the Rogue (some may be completely faithful, other can have their faith changed with a few coins. But that's up to you).
There are 3 informants. These people provide information to whoever pays them. (These guys are incredibly sneaky but honest in their reports).
There are 10 people who will either help or fight with Krissy and her friends (But once again that's up to you)
There can be random add-ins like someone so-and-so gambles with but we do not need a profile for those guys.


Rules!

No god moding
No descriptive sex scenes, this one is utterly banned. Nate's rules.
The Court is the home of criminals so, murder, robberies and assualt and things like that are acceptable but respectfully please.
Ask permission before killing off any character with a profile
Krissy's gang should be small time criminals and build their way up in power
Day jobs can be creative but no nobility should be involved with this
Swearing should kept to a point. Though you can go ahead and make up some old fashion cuss
Preferably 1 character per person
(but if it fails like last time everyone can create another character)


Profiles

Name: (be tasteful)
Age:(ages 7 to 59)
Gender: (male or female)
Appearance: (whatever you like, but remember Medieval Times.)
Day-time occupation: (singers, bakers, butchers?)
Rouge Talents: (Pickpocket? Murderer? Fighter?)
Personality: (This part is under your control.)
Habits: (Same as above)
Other: (Love interests? Extra information?)





My Character.....
(Teehee I stole a good one Sorry)
Name: Kristen "Krissy" Clark Hunter
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Appearance: Long black hair, icy green eyes with a mischevious gleam to them, fair skin with light freckles on her cheeks. Thin but mostly made of pure muscle. Average height. Has a snake tattoo wound around her right arm. Always carries knives on her calves.
Day-time occupation: Fruit and vegetable seller/singer
Rogue Talents: Small time thief and gambler. Good with picklocks and escaping from sticky situations. She fights with the silver daggers (she stole from a drunk knight) she carries everywhere.
Personality: A tough girl with a quick tongue and a good sense of humour. She is always stirring up trouble and is quite the heartbreaker. It takes a lot to get her to open up though. She is the kind of person who follows their gut feeling most of the time.
Habits: She cracks her knuckles when she is tensed for a fight and twirls her hair when she is thinking hard.
Other: She has a personal grudge against the Rogue after he/she killed her older brother and sister. Up for love, but she's really closed onto herself

Name: Maria

Age: 20

Gender: Female

Appearance:
AnimeGirl4.jpg
AnimeGirl4.jpg (20.75 KiB) Viewed 745 times


Day-time occupation: Storyteller and librarian

Rouge Talents: Maria has a fascination with murder.

Personality: Maria is charismatic and clever. She has decent self-control, but if she loses her temper you'd better watch out. She isn't afraid to stand up for what she believes in, and is virtually unswayable. Maria has a need for friends. If she had none she would drive herself insane. She has a sharp tongue and will often get into trouble for it.

Habits: Maria tends to play with daggers a lot. She throws them around, shines them, and uses them in most of her murders. She also takes martial arts, which come in handy very often.

Other: Krissy's friend. Up for love, but don't expect her to trust you for a while. The Rouge almost killed her once before, and she carries a large scar on her forehead from the encounter, along with hundreds more on her arms, legs, and face. The one on her forehead is the most noticeable, as it stretches from her right ear, across her forehead, and down to her left cheek.

Day-time occupation: Actress and singer.

Rouge Talents: murderer. she's very feminine, she's like the femme-fatale

Personality: She's a control freak and likes controlling everyone, she's sarcastic, and a happy-go-lucky kind of person. Her life as actress makes her be conceited and have an ego the size of France. She likes men, she loves having them at her feet and she's very sensual but a brat, she sometimes uses them or actually everyone around her to reach her quite unusual goals. She's quite a nice person though, she would give her life for the ones she loves, she helps people in strange ways but she does.And, above all she hates cruelty mainly because she has experienced it.

Habits: she sleeps late and wakes up late. She rehearses every day and sings everyday. Her hobby is painting althught she has neglected it.

Other: Up for love, totally, although you may have to be careful because she might fool you, but if she really falls in love, then she might even give her life for the one she loves.. She's with the Rogue, but I think that eventaully her faith can be changed...with some coins. She's selfish.

**One of Krissy's friends**

Name: Adamin Jetson (Adam or Jetson by the townsfolk)

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Appearance: Here. He's about six foot one with slim muscle and strong forearms, mainly from swinging again and again to butcher meat.

Day-time occupation: Butcher

Rouge Talents: Fighting, which is his main talent, but he is also and assassin when the need arises, but doesn't like it to much due to the fact he's so bulky muscle wise. He also lies really well. This also keeps him out of woman trouble.

Personality: Adamin is very... boisterous when he's taking up his job as a butcher. People don't steal from him, simply because they know he'll catch them before they even take a step out of shop. He hate's people lying to him, even though he always does it. And he can't stand his fiancee.

Habits: Adamin sometimes taps on things involuntarily, definitely not meaning to, or even knowing he does it.

Other: He's up for love, even though he has a fiancee. His fiancee, Arden, is a woman he can't stand, and he's about to call off the wedding.

Name: Natalie Thatcher

Age: 15

Gender: Female

Appearence: Natalie has tousled dark brown hair that falls over her hazel eyes. She's very thin and willowy and carries herself with pride. A few freckles dust her nose. Her face is hard and never shows emotion.

Day-Time Occupation: Tailor

Rogue Talents: Murderer

Personality: She's very sly and clever. Also very reserved. Sometimes, she won't even tell her best friends of her latest schemes. She also has quite an obsession with money. She only kills if there is money involved. She has a lot of arrogance and pride and will resist any help given to her.

Habits: She never looks directly into another person's eyes. If she's talking to someone, she usually just stares at their hair or their nose. She fears that if looks into someone's eyes, they'll be able to see all of the emotions that she's kept hidden for so long.

Other: Krissy's friend. Up for love if you can bring her out of her shell.
Don't follow in my footsteps. I run into walls.

Sometimes, it's best not to question your friends. Just help them dump the body into the river.

Even if the voices aren't real, they have pretty good ideas.

Writing isn't an excuse for insanity. It's a reason.

My character is going to be one of the Rogue's faithful servants.


Name: Jas

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Appearance: She has light brown hair that falls to her shoulders and hazel eyes. She's lean and slender and has a light tan in the summer. She always has a certain wariness about her, as though she's expecting to be attacked at any time.

Day-time occupation: Trains horses

Rouge Talents: She's a great assassin, but she absolutely hates doing it.

Personality: Very, very independent, aloof, defiant, and stubborn. Secretly, she's afraid of appearing weak. She likes to play the rebel, also and if you tell her not to do something she'll turn right around and do it, just to annoy you. And she's very capable, too, and extremely territorial. And once she sets her mind on something, she won't give up. She always feels as though she has to prove herself, and this leads to her being a bit reckless. She also has a bit of a temper, and her smart mouth can get her in trouble sometimes. She is very loyal, and proud. She hates going back on promises. Really critical of herself. If she was described as a dog breed, she would be a Chow Chow. She's not afraid to tell people what she thinks, which tends to tick people off a lot.She gets annoyed and exasperated easily. The Rogue is the only one who can rein her in.


Habits: She rolls her eyes way too much and can never sit still.

Other: Her parents died when she was 5, leaving Jas an orphan. The Rogue saved her from certain death and took her in, and for that she is completely loyal to him. She has a weird relationship with the Rogue. They act like they hate each other, constantly trading barbs and insults - she's the only one who can speak to him like that without being killed - but they both know that Jas would die for him. She hates murdering people for him and always tries to defy him. It's a sick game they play - he tells her to do something, she refuses, he punishes her, she still refuses, and on and on until Jas gives in. She has more scars from the Rogue than from fights. Still, she's totally faithful to him and would protect him at any cost. She's his right hand man - er, girl - and is usually the only one who can talk him out of his rasher plans.

**Rougue's faithful servant here! ^_^**

Name: Grayson Mitchell

Age: 21

Gender: male

Appearance: http://img34.picoodle.com/img/img34/4/4 ... 0e848a.jpg

Day-time occupation: pianist/singer

Rouge Talents: Fighter/pickpocket (He's incredible sneaky)

Personality: Grayson is very sneaky and charming. He's useful because he can charm nearly anyone, mostly women. He is always sarcastic, but he's also an optomistic person. He can be truely cruel at times, but most people don't see this. They see his charming and happy exterior. He is extremely loyal to the Rogue and would give his life to him in a heartbeat.

Habits: Uses way to much sarcasim. His fingers are constantly drumming across the table, because he is a pianist (day job). He actually loves it and considers that as his way of practicing, when he is working for the Rogue.

Other: Up for love. His love of music and playing the piano is greater than almost anything, except maybe his loyalties to the Rogue.

**If we're allowed to have 2nd characters, I call dibs on one. ^_^ If not, that's fine.**
Hermione, shut your ungodly, lopsided mouth and quit interrupting! 20 points from Gryffindor. You know, for the brightest witch of your age you can sure be a dumba** sometimes. *smiles* 10 points to Dumbledore!
