Young Writers Society

Okay, please post you bio's here as well as any question that you happen to have. Also, I will put up a nice pretty picture of what Ciiianthan looks like so you will know a little bit more.

Oh... I may be interested in joining this. So our character can be anyone who was in a good position to spy on the royal court, right?

Oh, they can be anyone. At all. As long as there is at least a semblance of connection with them to the Ciianthan Court.

And thank you for taking the time for looking at the DT.

Name: Shahara Malgria

Gender: Female

Age: 20

Appearance: straight, shaggy black hair, tan skin, and light brown eyes. Wears dark, usualy black, clothing (mostly trousers, tunic, and boots).

Personality: Friendly, yet reserved around strangers. She loves to joke around, but is a deadly fighter. Despite her upbringing, she took the distance from her father as a chance to shed her fine silk gowns and start training as a soldier.

Connection to the Court: daughter to a member of the court

Background: When Shahara turned twelve, her father sent her to live with her aunt in a large village several leagues away from the city. He had hoped she would be taught how to refine her manners and etiquette, but instead, she began to train secretly as a fighter with one of the Guards in the village. She returned to the city when she was nineteen, and keeps her fighting knowledge secret.

Extra Info: She uses dual scimitars to fight, and she's skilled with a bow. She also keeps a dagger in her boot. Up for love.

Occupation: None

Everyone who joined, please post your first post. If you have, thank you very much.

I'm just wondering are we supposed to meet? I haven't gotten that clearly, sorry.

*I will throw in a plot twist, if it's alright?*

Name: Nykyrian (Nyk for short)

Gender: male

Age: 19

Appearance: http://media.photobucket.com/image/wolf ... y.jpg?o=14 (tentative, may change appearance, if I can find a better picture)

Personality: Wild, Nyk is a child of the mountains and forests, stubborn, arrogant, willful and independent. Nyk dances to the beat of his own drum and will allow no one to cage him.

Connection to the Court: The King's bastard son, though no one knows it, least of all himself. It's the only reason he's still alive.

Background: Nyk was born when the King had an affair with a foreign noble. When the young woman realised she was pregnant she fled the court in shame. Unable to return to her homeland she retreated to the forest to raise her son. When Nyk was seven, she bacame ill, before she died she gave Nyk his father's pendant, and told him to go deep into the forests, where no human dared walk. To hide. (One could suspect she had an inkling of what was to come)

Twelve years later Nyk is a wild young man as much beast as human. He was raised by the animals of the forest, and his affinity with them developed into the ability to speak with animals.(If this is alright)He never goes any where without his best friend. The wolf Frost. Now that he is a man grown, Kyp has ventured out of the forests for the first time. He couldn't have picked a worse time to indulge in curiosity, and becomes swept up in the 'spies' flight for freedom.

Extra Info: Has had almost no contact with humans, although skitish around them, he's also very naive and trusting. Because animals can't lie, Kyp lies only rarely. In fact he has a blunt honesty that drives people up the wall. Carries a pair of old single edged swords and fights with both hands.

Occupation: Ranger,Guide,Scout

Can I still join this? I'm just gonna post my profile.

(hope this okay]

Just a quick note:

Magic hasn't COMPLETELY been wiped out - some people still teach it in secret, but most people will think it is a sign of the devil for what it did to Capital according to their history. Please do not be entirely acceptive of it - it has been ingrained into the society that it is evil. People like Linx, well, Linx couldn't care less if the world just suddenly stopped, so his attitude is explainable and excusable, .

And also, please do not try to escape currently or in the next few posts, or try to change the path that you will follow, because that is what is needed for the plot of this SB to continue on as I hoped.

Anyway, so far I think everyone has done an excellent job and I enjoy reading what you post.

Okay, people.

I just want to say - you're allowed to create the rest of the scene up to a point.

I'm not sure exactly how it works in other SB's, but this is the way I would like it to work in mine.

I will post the pivotal points in stories (perhaps when I think about it I shall add P.P at the top to show this) and I will also post completely useless posts - usually for Linx, .

I would like, if it isn't outside the edge of reason, ask you to base things off my pivotal plot points and add extra things as you want, but please do no try to add extremely large things outside the actual plot I try to post in mine.

Sometimes, mostly, jok101 this applies to you. I love the way you make the posts your own, but the majority of mix-ups have come from you when you write about what you think will happen in the plot I write.

I love the way everyone has written, jok101 - I enjoy Jonathon, he is an awesome character, sylverdawn - don't you worry about Frost I have feeling your character and him will be together again , Emi - your soldier secret is still yet secret, I hoped you enjoyed that fact , Kelcia - I am very amused with the way you play with your twin characters, very smooth, Nik101 - I can't wait to see more of your character it seems things with her are just beginning and last, but not least AyumiGosu, your character has the attitude I love reading.

All of you, I thank you all for joining my SB and hope you have fun in the process of working through The Ciianthan Truth: Spies - because I assure you - there is a lot more to go.

I really like that this SB has a backbone, because most fail because they don't have a plot, or the plot doesn't get past the first few points, and then one of two things will happen. (1) the posts will go off in all sorts of directions, or (2) characters end up running around in circles with nowhere to go. This one actually has somewhere to go! =)

Oh, and thanks for keeping Shahara's secret secret! ^.^

Might I say, Light Devil, you're an amazing SB host. I feel like this is going to be one hell of a ride(SB)!

EmiSukotto, first of all you're very welcome and second I will strive to keep this secret until you wish to let the cat out of the bag,

Nik101, thank you, thank you very much *does a horrible impersonation of Elvis Prezley*.

Okay, now, everyone (well, everyone who reads this anyway, ) you can post reactions to what Luke has said - you can even have side conversation with someone if you really want. Yours can be outraged, shocked, silent, watchful, happy or basically anything - depending on how you think your character will react to this news.

I hope you find my attempt at a SB fitting to all of your amazing talent.

I thought I had said this, but maybe I didn't. I'll say it anyway, just in case, . Please don't have a whole other story which completely alters the world and everyone in it because that'll wreck what I was trying to build . . .

I know this might seem confusing at first but I'm trying to thread Nyk's backstory into the storybook, it won't interfere with the main plot, but it will flesh it out some.
