Quiet, Heavy Dreams - A Medieval RP

Something was in the air. An unfamiliar feeling, but one that you could sense would cause a destruction upon everything surrounding it. As you would continue on with your normal everyday routine, you still felt... off. Something was definitely wrong, but who were you to say anything? Perhaps it was just your mind. You decided you wouldn't bother with it anymore, seeing that you were more than likely the only one in the village who felt this way.

You had found yourself alone, only to be accompanied by the sound of rattling chains above you and five others in the same room. You, just like everyone else around you, were confused and you could barely remember how you got here. You would repeatedly question yourself how you had gotten there, what happened, and who were these other people. But your attention had departed from your running thoughts and focused on a man who came down the stairs, letting some light in by the heavy iron door which was shut and locked behind him.

"You have been chosen," he began, pacing. His footsteps echoed in the stone room, causing everyone's attention to be on him. "You've been chosen for a reason. A reason that makes you special. Somebody important. You have been chosen to begin your life as one of us - Dragons," he added.

You were confused, to say the least. Even more than before. Dragons? A group, is what the man meant. You felt the slight discomfort of the others in the room, making you shift your weight slightly while you were on the floor.

"The Dragons are a group of elites, trained to kill. You have been studied by our people for this specific job of becoming lethal assassins in our group." The man would eye each of you, in which you only raised your eyebrows. You weren't sure if you were intrigued or wanting to leave, perhaps both, or maybe it was something else. Whatever it was, you didn't like it. Not a single bit.

-

After months of training, you and the five others had pleased the leaders. You finally became what they wanted - a weapon to be used by them and only for them. None of you liked it, which is exactly why all six of you had decided you would create a plan. This plan would include taking down the leaders and the rest of the group, which was roughly thirty-some others. But hey, you were finally trained and you knew the place like the back of your hand, right? Couldn't be too bad.

This is where your quiet, heavy dreams began to spark. You dreamed of becoming free again. Live a life, perhaps find a husband or wife, have kids. This is what you all wanted - a dream to come true.

RP Rules

1). To start, Eve's rules trump all.

2). This RP will be literate, which mean I require the minimum word count of 400 words with proper grammar, punctuation, and capitalization. More is of course appreciated.

3). This RP being literate means that you must also prove this in your form. You must have 200 words each in personality and appearance with no images. Again, more is always appreciated.

4). Your character should have a balanced amount of strengths and weaknesses, but each must contain three or more.

5). No Mary/Gary Sues. Your characters will be flawed and not perfect, as nobody is.

6). Upon creating a character, you must keep in mind the time period. This is a medieval setting - there will be no modern clothing, cell phones, cars, etc. Try to do some research on how your character might dress.

7). Characters can be a part of the LGBTQ+ community, but the time period will restrict how open they are about it. Please keep this in mind.

8). Please have permission to harm/kill someone else's character. This is to prevent any drama.

9). That being said, your character cannot be OP. Please give time for the other person(s) to respond to you and give their character a chance. Your character will not dodge all hits, have all attacks land, etc.

10). Your characters can and more than likely will get injured. This means that you have to keep their injury realistic - a broken bone will not heal in a day.

11). Your character cannot constantly be stealing the spotlight. Do not have them be 'that guy' who is always running off, causing trouble, etc. This is also a group RP, not a 1x1, so include everyone.

12). Do not cause drama outside of the RP. If an issue occurs, please contact me or the co-host (if there is one). I/We will take care of the situation.

13). Failure to oblige by these rules will get you kicked from the RP.

14). As this is a very limited RP, there will be no reservations. That being said, there will also be no first-come first-serve sort of deals around here. I will accept and decline as I see fit.

15). Try to keep all genders even. For this RP, there should be three females and three males (you can make non-binary characters if you wish).

16). Try to be as active as possible. I want to see at least two posts a week. If something comes up, let me know instead of just ghosting the RP.

17). If you go inactive without giving a heads-up, your character will be removed after a week of inactivity from the RP. That means that the slot will become available again.

18). Do not join just to be inactive. This will be a very character-driven plot to keep it moving forwards, which is why I require the activity level I require.

19). Do not chatter in this thread or the RP thread. Use the discussion thread. PM me regarding any questions you may have.

20). Have fun!

All are subject to change.

Locations

[map here]

Green - Forest
White - Mountains/snow
Purple - Meadow
Blue - Water

Location 1: Wandermere

Home of the Dragons, this is where the RP will mainly take place. Wandermere is hidden deep in the forest, making it a maze to reach this place. Wandermere is made up of a small town sqaure, in which people sell goods. There is a blacksmith here as well, which is where you can get weapons repaired and made. Wandermere has a water source east of it, which is a small pond that is normally filled with fish.

Anyways, Wandermere has minimal housing to keep it small. The leaders of the Dragons live in a larger stone house, almost a mansion, which contains five bedrooms, a dining room which is sometimes used for meetings, and some storage area. Most people group together, sometimes are even assigned to certain houses by the leaders.

Everyone in Wandermere are assigned certain duties. The assassins, of course, will be assaigned their next targets. Some are working stands in the town sqaure, off hunting, fishing, etc. These can vary, but very rarely will you ever see an assassin not doing their own respective duties as their occupation requires them.

Location 2: Black Hallows

Just west of Wandermere, the Black Hallows is a great oak forest that is mainly used for hunting. Sometimes Wandermere does not have enough to hunt for, so Black Hallows is their next move. It is filled with dear, rabbits, and birds that those from Wandermere and other nearby locations may be attracted to.

There is nothing especially special about this place, however, it is the place where the six might group together to make private plans about killing their leaders and freeing everyone in Wandermere. They normally meet a small clearing that is near the center of the forest, but mainly at night for the sake of not seeing suspicious and not being caught by the hunters.

Location 3: Romset Slopes

A very beautiful meadow known for its colorful scenery. Not much goes on here, but there is a small creek that runs through it. Some may come here to find peace, others to pray. At times, meetings between groups or sometimes even kingdoms are held here if small enough. Again, it isn't very important, but becomes more and more popular by the day.

All subject to change.

Roles/Characters

The Dragons
Led by their notorious and relentless leaders, the Dragons is a group of people who are known for their assassins. Highly trained and disciplined, they are rather intimidating. They earn the name Dragons from how fiery they are, in which has simply stuck since the group was originally created over four generations ago.

The Leaders
The leaders are four people who run the entire thing. What they say goes, and they are the ones who will mainly recruit others, make rules together, assign roles, etc. They are not to be challenged as their leadership is hereditary and some may even say sacred.

All are NPCs. Information about them will be added later down the line.

The Six
This is you. Some of the most newest assassins in Wandermere. You and your five other accomplices have learned where everything is in Wandermere and have begun planning to kill the four leaders to free those in Wandermere and mainly to help themselves.

Heritage:

Known Languages:

Spanish :: First Language; Fluent; Reads and Writes

French :: Fluent; Cannot Read or Write

Appearance:

They have a leaner build, more on the smaller end. They stand at a relatively average 5’8, with a slight athletic curve to them. Alexis has speed and agility more than strength. They’re dexterity and speed are both relatively decent. In their personal opinion, they think they excel the most in hand-eye coordination. Their skin tone is on the lighter side, as if they only go outside once or twice a week, with a thin layer of a golden tan accompanying their pale skin. Little to no freckles decorate their body. A decent number of cuts and bruises line their body, though it is more from their fearless, adventurous attitude than clumsiness. Their eyes are black, dark brown lines marking the edges around it. Their pupils are dark and pitch black. Alexis drily jokes that their personality is as dark as their eyes, but it’s not. They’re incredibly soft on the inside, and they’re not nearly as irritable as they attempt to act.

Alexis has wavy hair, the tips ending in slight curls. The front of their hair goes around their eyebrows, with their back hair ending alongside their neck. The rest of their hair slowly lengthens the farther down their head it goes. Alexis’s hair is dark black, usually messy and brushed to the side to avoid tangling in their eyes. They can be found wearing hats on their head at times. From black top hats, to a straw hat and a cowboy hat, or a beanie. It’s honestly an inside joke to them, except for the fact that no one else understands the joke, which is slightly unfortunate.

None of their ears are pierced, though they toy with the idea occasionally. Their only accessory is a group of three silver rings, all on the heavy side. One is a normal band, seated on their left pinkie finger. Another looks like braids intertwined into a ring seated on their right middle finger. The last is seemingly average as well, on their left pointer finger, except with runes on the outside, and Roman Numerals of their mother’s birthday on the inner side. Their hands are their most prized body parts. They’re rather flexible and graceful, Alexis’s dexterity and hand-eye coordination quite something. Though they’re quite clumsy with their legs, unfortunately. They can be fast, but sometimes they can barely control their legs and feet.

Their smile is quite alluring, a soft little thing that can be compared to the background music in a major, complex symphony. It’s generally amusing and the gentlest part about them. Alexis can control their outer appearance and their reactions to anything, but if anything, they cannot even closely control their smiles. It’ll be the most honest part about Alexis, and almost has its own state of mind. They’ll be completely stiff with a shadowed look in their gaze, but a small smile will seemingly pop up, completely out of sorts with the rest of their body language. Their canines are on the sharper spectrum, giving them what some would consider a predatory look, but with their random smiles it’s almost adorable, which they would hate to be called. Alexis isn’t very good at keeping long smiles on their face, but if it’s not on purpose, they could smile all day. A smug smirk and a bored scowl are more common on their features, though.

Personality:

An incredibly snarky sort of person who always has trouble processing the simplest words. Any wins or victories in their favor is going to almost definitely result in them being a smug little bastard. They have what is joked as a “horrible sense of humor,” though really their humor is just incredibly dry. Alexis is a hugely sarcastic person who doesn’t know that some others may not actually understand sarcasm. On numerous occasions they’ve been told they’re a “horrid” person, but Alexis tends to look just incredibly bored at insults directed at them, as if they don’t even care about anything. They are the type of person to get easily distracted and easily tired of things. Alexis can be easily amused, but is also easily bored. They tends to work hard and fast, but they need multiple things to keep them busy.

They tend to tell jokes that are quite insensitive and just straight out there. Alexis has little to no filter, and the same goes for both jokes and normal talking. Though they do know how to filter their words, it is quite “tiring” to do so, as they say. They can understand the most complex and complicated words, but not be able to decipher the most simple and universal terms. They’re not even close to the most intelligent person ever, but they do have some bit of smarts in them. They’re the smartest in more animal terms, and can be relatively street smart, but ask them to pronounce something and there’s a slightly good chance they’ll just completely struggle and fail. They’re the type of person to completely forget even an ounce of some of the most important things, but manage to remember simple, useless things. In a way, it can be helpful in the term of random facts, but not in an actually good way. Sometimes they'll forget what time it is after just having checked it. They act as if they’re rather incredible, a boastful person who actually thinks the lowest of themself. Alexis’s self esteem is far below the floor, even though they brag and joke as if they’re the absolute best.

Alexis has a sort of twinkling laugh, a musical sound that manages to somehow echo everywhere with its slightly musical and wheezing sound. When they do laugh, they tend to fall around, as if they don’t have their sea legs whilst they’re on a wildly rocking boat. They tend to slam into the walls whilst they’re coughing their lungs out in an amused manner. Though watching their laughs are incredibly entertaining, they tend to merely let out slight chuckles, little laughs that are curt with a small snort accompanying. At the absolute funniest things, Alexis can be found just not even breathing, their laughs silent as their body just rocks with chokes of laughter.

They’re not the best at expressing emotions, especially around more than one other person. Alexis tends to be more in the background, on the sidelines. Though they tend to make comments in many events, even if it doesn’t involve them. Alexis doesn’t necessarily enjoy the spotlight. They’re extremely observant, though don’t always do anything about it, merely watching for their own amusement or information purposes. When it comes to negotiating or convincing others of things, they can actually exceed, with their oddly intriguing personality. They’re not actually intriguing though, but don’t tell Alexis that. They’d be offended beyond normal offense. They’re the most offended at people who say their name wrong. Insults bounce off them, and they just judge other people’s insults by saying the insult was horrible. Someone saying their name wrong, though, they will remember that the most. The one thing they can remember is people saying their name wrong, calling them the wrong name, or misspelling their name.

One of the things they value the most are the simple things in life. The little things. The things that make life, life. Alexis enjoys the simplicity of living, and just watching others living. That’s one of the reasons they love literally any animal that isn’t human. Watching them live their lives without having some sort of sadistic or lying complex in their minds. They live out their life to the fullest, even if they stay more in the background. They adore autumn, with its beautiful leaves and warm sun, and the cool breezes. On to the more somber things, Alexis has a higher pain tolerance. They are always hiding their pain or when they’re hurt. Alexis tells jokes to hide when they’re hurting or feeling betrayed. They hardly ever cry solely because they don’t want to show it, as they consider it a sign of “weakness”. When they do cry, they can’t stop it, and they’re suffocating. Blind and suffocating. When they’re at that stage, they’ve usually given up and let out all their frustrations verbally, and whoever has had the misfortune to be stuck with them, well, they’ll find that Alexis will tell them all that’s hurting them. Everything. They’ll sound wise, beyond their years, just having grieved in silence and finally letting it all out.

Strengths:

Observant :: A bit in the background, with a bright eye to catch things, though they don't always share information

Soothing :: Gentle and actually kind, this gives them the upper hand when negotiating, communicating, or calming creatures, though they prefer being a snarky little bastard

Blending :: They somehow blend well into the background and shadows, seemlingly disappearing out of thing air

Awake :: They're both an early bird and a night owl, and tend to get more work done during the late hours and earliest ones

Weaknesses:

Antisocial :: More intent on doing what they need to do. If they need to meet new people, they will. Others also tend to not enjoy their sarcastic presence

Insensitive :: Their jokes and words are completely unfiltered and just let out. They don't mind, and if someone is offended, oh well

Snappy :: Incredibly irritated retorts and sarcastic mutters result in them being labeled as a horrible person

Frustrated :: If they're trying to teach someone something and the other doesn't understand, it's incredibly frustrating for them simply due to the fact that they never give up and learn things quicker

Fears:

Medium :: Agoraphobia :: Fear of places and situations that might cause panic, helplessness, or embarrassment

Extreme :: Pyrophobia :: The fear of fire

Medium :: Necrophobia :: Extreme or irrational fear of death
