Young Writers Society

So yeah. I'm hoping that everyone here is familiar with the Storybook rules, but here are the rules for this particular storybook: (Theme and story-line explained below)

RULES:
•(1) No God-moding. Please. Characters are allowed to be powerful, but no one can escape from a War unscathed.
•(2) Please respect other Character's personalities--if they're quiet, don't say they did something that goes against their nature.
•(3) I really dislike how people can control other people's characters, so please don't do that excessively. Sorry if this is unreasonable...
•(4) No more than one Character, but if your character has a pet/animal companion, you have full control over them.

THEME/STORY-LINE
This is [currently] in this setting:
A valley between a craggy, snow-capped mountain range. It is early Spring, and the snow is just melting. Many strange beasts can be found here. There is a series of large, deep marshes, passable only by rotting wooden bridges. The water can burn like acid, so be careful!
Anyways. They are in a small band, traveling this rather perilous terrain. They flee from the Njorden armies, who dwarf them in the sheer size of their troops.
You can be any of the following races/species:
• Miokoda (elf)
• Njord (Human/Mortal)
• Nymph
• Demon
-You can ask to be another species/race as long as you include a brief explanation about them-
IMPORTANT: This has no technology whatsoever. There is Magic, (You must explain what magical attributes your Character has in their profile) but no science or anything. Please keep characters in a Fantasy theme.

Please keep swearing to a minimum, as well as Graphic content. And no graphic scenes about love...if you catch my drift.

Anyways, here are some basic attributes for the species mentioned above: (Only their strengths)
MIOKODA:
-Have a Second Nature (an animal form which they can shift into at will)
-Immortal
-[Can be] nocturnal
-[Some] have wings
-Superhuman strenght and speed
-Very in-tune with nature
NJORD:
-Very hardy
-Excel at controlling demons (of the tamed variety)
-Excellent at throwing axes
-[Some] have wings
NYMPHS:

-Excel at Earth and Water magics
-All have wings
-Immortal
DEMON:
-Can become invisible
-Can return from the dead
-Can enter unblocked minds
-Can confuse easily

Name: Ayra
English translation for name: Dark Star
Elements: Moonlight, Ice and Darkness
Gender: Female
Race/Species: Miokoda
Age: Immortal, but in human years: 14
Second Nature: Niranian Wolf
Description: She is relatively tall, with a build that is both graceful and strong. Her face has a cold, proud beauty; pale skin, sculpted lips, high, prominent cheekbones. Her eyes are the colour of the sea under a stormy sky. Her hair goes halfway down her back and is midnight black with a freezing blue tint. It is straight, but with a tiny flip at the front.
Complexion: Lightly tanned
Personality: She is proud and dark, with two sides of her personality: one curious, mischievous and bold, the other arrogant, aggressive and passionate. Often these two sides are blended, and she is always fiercely loyal.
However, she doesn't always think things through and often acts rashly, which leads to endless trouble.
Sibling/s: none
Basic Magic: She is qualified in all sorts of magic, but her strongest is wild magic; Moonlight.
Second Nature: She is a large wolf, with lush blue-black fur and sweeping ebony wings (feathered). Her eyes are the same, and her face as the same wild, feral beauty. As in her elven form, she is both graceful and strong. The tips of her wings have feathers coloured gold, dusky purple and sea-green/grey.

-Please include the description for your Second Nature if you are a Miokoda-

Yayness! A participant!
That's fine with me--I'm still establishing everything.

This looks really interesting and promising.

She has very few close friends, and isn't very trustworthy. Wise beyond her years, she holds a deep understanding of the world and the creatures that inhabit it.

I say we start now. Let's get this party rolling.

Ok! So, yeah. I guess I'll post where everyone is right now...

*This is a picture of Wolf with his wings out, his wings only come out when he needs them. http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o210 ... akanka.jpg *


Sina slowly moved through the woods watching everything. Wolf, her wolf, moved along with her sniffing the air every few minutes. "You smell something, boy?" Sina asked knealing down next to him. He just rubbed his head against her arm letting her know everything was fine. She smiled and stood back up and moved farther into the landscape, she shivered against the cold air and tugged her jacket tighter around her shoulder. "We really need to find a place to bunker down." She sighed, a growl slowly escaped Wolf's throat and she froze. His hair was sticking straight up and he was baring his teeth towards a few bushes. Sina looked towards the bushes as about ten men stepped out surronding her. Wolf moved over to her growling again.

"Well well well, what do we have here." One of hte men laughed, Sina frowned as they moved closer towards her. She summonded some strength and sent mounds of dirt flying at the men behind her. A blast of wind slammed into her back and she flew forward onto the ground. There were only five men left, but the rush of wind had knocked hte breath out of her.

"That wasn't very smart, girly." One hissed as he walked towards her. Wolf jumped in front of her and growled baring his teeth, just waiting to kill the man if Sina ordered it.

"Leave me alone, he'll kill you." She gasped trying to regain her air supply.

"Ha, ya like that will happen." The man laughed,

"You asked for it. Go on boy." Wolf lunged at the man who sent a blast of air towards Wolf but he just spun out of the way landing behind the man. Sina slowly stood up gasping for air. The other four men had now surronded wolf and were all about to kill him. Sina mustered up the last of her energy and shot her wings out, they slowly started to glow. WHen they had gotten to full forse a blast of fire shot out killing the men. Wolf had pulled his wings out and covered himself with them not even being harmed by her attack. He ran over to her as she hit the ground unconcious.
