Young Writers Society

Welcome to Wanderlust 2: Revenge. This is kind of a restart of the old one; link to old Wanderlust SB: topic60815.html

From the end of Wanderlust:

The small band of children headed north, far into the mountains. They found horses and stole them, they found food and stole that too, until they reached the mountains and vanished into their mists. They had the princess, they needed a way home. She held the clue.

And so the planning of revenge begins...

A group of teens somehow got sent back in time and ended up in Ancient China. You are one of these teens and you’re there to help put the princess back on the throne. It's been six months since you escaped from the palace. Some of you have died, some have gone off on their own and some of you are new. You are now hiding out in the mountains to the north. You will begin in this northern palace, and from here you must journey wherever you need to go, to find the Sword of the Emperor; a legendary weapon that only someone of royal blood can wield.

Are you willing to journey into the deepest valleys, the coldest caves and the highest mountian tops to find the Sword? If you are, just follow the signs...

Setting: Ancient China, Zhou dynasty. The year is 401 BC.

Link to DT: topic67841.html

Name: Atana "Tani"
Age: 18
Gender: Female.
Appearance: Messy red hair, big, round, chocolate brown eyes, and a thin build.

Occupation: She's an orphan.

Skills: Being that she lives in the wild, she's very good at regular survival skills. Hunting, gathering, making fire, setting camp, etc. She's best at finding food and knows most everything about the wild.

Personality: She's a hard nut to crack, but only because she feels as if that's the way she has to be. She shows little to no emotion at all times. Overall, she tries to be the toughest person she can be, opening up only leads to disaster. She hates for her emotions to get in the way of the bigger picture: staying alive. On the inside, she's really a sweet and nice person, but no one will ever know that.

History: She was born an orphan and has never had a real family. The royal guards found her on the street stealing one day and threw her in an orphanage. There, she met one good friend, Kano, and they made a plan to run away together. One night, they snuck a bunch of supplies and escaped through the window and ran away into the forest. They left at the age of ten and have been living together ever since. One day, Kano never came back from going out to gather some food. Tani panicked and went looking for him. She searched for a week straight and never found him, she now has to accept the fact that he's dead. When she was with Kano, she was the happiest person ever, but his death changed everything.

Likes/Dislikes: Likes: Getting things done. When things run smoothly. Taking walks when the sun goes down. Her next meal. Climbing trees. Keeping up her shield. Dislikes: Letting her emotions get in the way. Not being able to get things done. When things are in chaos.

Other: There are t hose rare times when her true emotions briefly show on her face, but she quickly covers up her mistake before anyone can notice.

Up for Love: Yes, if you can break through the shield that is Tani.

Welcome to W2:R, Reise. I take it that your character is a teen?

My old characters:

Teen:
Name: Jemsie Ashford.

Age: 17.

Gender: Female.

Appearance:

Occupation: Your normal teen.

Skills: Stealing, Martial Arts, fencing and horse-riding.

Personality: Kind, fun loving and full of energy, Jemsie is optimistic and friendly but has a dark side that she turns on the people who hurt her friends.

History: Jemsie was adopted at the age of 4 and has been practicing Martial Arts since she was young. She has recently started Fencing and hasn't ridden a horse since she was 6. Her adoptive parents are Asian and her Grandfather often teaches her Martial Arts when Jemsie isn't at school.

Likes/Dislikes: Likes Katanas and Martial Arts. Dislikes cruel people.

Other: Jemsie has a scar across the back of her left hand from an accident when she was young.

Up for love: Yes.



From China:
Name: Quan-Ling Li.

Age: 18.

Gender: Male.

Appearance:
Occupation: Thief/Peasant.

Skills: Stealing, some fighting skills, stealth.

Personality: Quan is usually kind and likes to help the poor kids but since he's not doing too well himself, he's turned cruel but it's only a mask. If you can get him to take it off, you'll find he's actually rather nice.

History: Quan's parents are dead and he's alone. He can't afford to pay off the guards so he steals what he can. He's been alone for the past year and participating in...unsavoury deals with shady characters. He also saw the flash of light the princess did.

Likes/Dislikes: Likes stealing, sneaking around and the princess. Dislikes the guy who stole the throne, getting caught and being poor.

Other: He's very curious. Sometimes too curious, which is how he caught up in the whole quest thing.

Up for love: Yes.

Name: Dagger Ritchie.

Age: 16 and proud.

Gender: Female!

Appearance: Very short blonde hair, slim and small. Warm brown eyes and wiry muscles. Despite what the picture shows, she doesn't wear makeup.



Occupation: Just a regular teen. Well, not regular. She's a con artist in training and a part-time thief.

Skills: Forging, lying, fighting, thievery, running, climbing, swimming, anything she may have employed in her endeavors.

Personality: Independent, feisty, sharp tongued, spunky, bold, with a bit of charisma. She's a bit of a tomboy and a perfectionist, and isn't used to being hormonal. Reflexive and a risktaker, and a fend-for-herself type of girl. She can be a good friend if she thinks you deserve it, and needless to say doesn't trust easily.

History: Dagger was adopted by a professional con artist, and raised as such. Her real name is Alexie, but it's very rare that someone calls her that. She was nicknamed Dagger for her quote-on-quote "sharp and sleek flair", and it's all anyone's called her. She's never known a 'normal' life, and quite frankly doesn't want to. She has too much fun as a criminal.

Likes/Dislikes: Likes stealing and anything related to conning, running, rain, wind, and the cold. Dislikes gigglers, ditzes, silence, heat, mugginess, and being disrespected.

Other: Nails are painted turquoise. Because I think the song really fits: Let You Down, by Three Days Grace.



Up for love: (Yes or no) Yes!

I'll take a spot as a regular person.- Profile will be up in a jiffy.

Name: Jiang-Li Shing

Age: 20

Gender: female

Appearance: http://mollyzhang.deviantart.com/art/chinese-50712478?q=boost%3Apopular+in%3Aphotography+chinese&qo=54

Jiang has a strong jawline. She's about average height, but well-built. There is a wiry strength about her.

Occupation: Warrior (But she's for private hire)

Skills: Jiang is very good at deception and disguises. She can easily blend into different crowds. She's also an excellent swords-woman, but is rubbish at archery.

Personality: Jiang is playfully stubborn. Because of her occupation, she understands that short-livedness of life. Jiang holds the deepest respect for the smallest things in life. She tends to focus on the details, but and often doesn't see the forest through the trees.

History: Jiang was raised by a single father who was in the army. She's looked up to her father her entire life, and wants to become him. But the strict army life just didn't appeal to her, so Jiang set off on her own.

Likes/Dislikes: Jiang likes the thrill of doing something dangerous. One could say that she is addicted to it. She's often very rash when it comes to taking up new jobs. Jiang can't stand people who are patronizing or condescending.

Other: She's often thrown into situations where she needs to disguise her gender. Jiang always carried the makings of a quick diguise around with her.
