Ok, this will be a nice, short RP. Just trying to test out a new system.
Nearly fifteen decades ago, the mining town of Tirhin and the dwarven stronghold of Kaark'Krazul entered into an alliance. The terms were simple: each city's militia would come to the aid of the other should the need arise, and trade between the two cities would not be restricted by tariff or tax. The two cities have long since enjoyed a long period of prosperity; Tirhin miners bring their ores, gems, and fresh-mined gold to Kaark, where they trade for food, finished tools and weapons. The artisans of both cities have become dependent on these caravans between the cities.
Then, came the Horde.
The valley between Kaark'Krazul and Tirhin, nearly overnight, was overrun by the tribes of orcs known as the Horde. Under General Krusk, they quickly ground the valley –and the road within it– under their heel, not allowing man or dwarf to pass within. As you can expect, nearly all trade between Kaark and Tirhin has stopped.
Tirhin is desperate. The miners are poor and starving; their families are ready to move. In a desperate, last-ditch move before relocating to more hospitable climes, the towne has put out a call for mercenaries to protect one last attempt at a caravan through the valley. If the caravan makes it safely through and back, the mercenaries will be paid for their aid. (If, of course, the mercs manage to find a way to clear out the orc problem, they will be rewarded handsomely by the grateful townsfolk.)
Signup sheet: Name Race Skillset (Fighter Blackmage Whitemage Scout or Other - Others must come with a complete description of their place in the party and what use they would provide an armored caravan.) Character description Other
...as I mentioned earlier, do not post here unless you want to let everyone else know what your character is. I WILL NOT be posting acceptances or rejections here. All characters MUST be PMed to me; once the RP starts, no one will be permitted to post here unless they have recieved an acceptance PM.

Quick clarification:
Ok, a coupla people have been kinda confused about the Skillset category. I'm not restricting you to those five "classes"; in fact, those aren't even meant to be classes anyway. They're one-word summaries of your fighting style, for my personal records. I know that not all potential methods of fighting are listed (summoner, battlemage, necromancer, artificer, just to name a few); that's what Other is there for. It's basically the add-a-category box: put in a one- or two-word summary of your character's fighting style, then give me the full description for my own records.
If anyone else has questions, feel free to either post them here or PM them to me.

Oh... are the only races just humans and dwarves? Or can there be others?

Nope. You can use other races besides humans and dwarves.

Is it me ... or has someone been playing World of Warcraft?
Also, how long do we have until you start the RP?

Alrighty, I suppose I could. Gimme a sec to go dig them all up. So far, the accepted characters are: Name: Whisper Race: Wood Elf Skillset: Archer/Scout Character description: Whisper is an elf who lived in the forest, is an excellent archer and is well able to scout area's for enemy's. He's a very sneaky and silent person. (Presea) Name: Raeyh Race: Elf Skillset: Archer (I take it you know what an archer is. ^_^') Character description: Raeyh is a skilled shooter that can nail any target. Her arrows are made out a special material that bursts into flames on impact. Though her strikes are powerful, she tends to be ignorant to her surroundings, leaving herself open to attack. She's an optimistic person, brightening up any dull situation with her happy-go-lucky attitude, but because of her naturally cheerful attitude, tragic occurrences and upsetting times take a while to sink into her brain. Name : Aleu Race : Evinkuruga (basically, a human with fluffy ears and a tail xD) Skillset : Runic Knight Character description : She's on the right in this piccu. :3(Shiori) name: Cathán gender: male race: human class: archer weapon: composite longbow appearance: dark straight red hair that reaches halfway between chin and shoulder. Fair skin. kind, dark blue eyes. One can tell immdiately that he's male, but has a bit of... um... femininity to his looks. Wears simple clothing in dark, earthy colors, although the materials seem to be rather fine for your average adventurer. (dark green shirt, dark brown trousers and vest, sometimes wears a cloak: medium brown on outside, medium (not saturated) green on the inside.) Has a long gold chain around his neck that has some sort of pendent or something but no one has seen it as it is hidden in his shirt. Cathán looks like someone you would meet in any random village, until you speak with him. Even talking about average things, the tone of his voice shows that he's been well educated, perhaps even from an aristocratic family. However, no one really knows where he's from as he never talks about it, and quickly changes the subject when it is brought up with almost an ashamed tone in his voice. He's rather a kind soul though, willing to help those in need. Despite his (for lack of a better word) somewhat 'weak' appearance, he is a strong and serious fighter. (Ari) Name: Kaisa Seimarwen Race: Half-elf Skillset: fighter/ summoner-- Kaisa is extremely versatile on the battle field and can either deal physical damage with a weapon or summon spirits to aid him in a fight. As a warrior, he can pick up nearly anything and turn it into a lethal weapon, so I wouldn't suggest angering him. Rykou, an elemental tiger, comes to his rescue at Kaisa's beck and call. However, in order to complete the summoning ritual, the half-elf needs a bit time to cast his spell. Character description: Because he nearly lost a younger sibling, he has morphed into what most would call an "over-protective brother" over the years. Mixed with a tendency to be stubborn and cynical, Kaisa can be overbearing to those he cares about at times. But despite that, he is extremely caring and will fight ruthlessly for his loved ones. He is also very sophisticated and intelligent, though not exactly wise. Name: Kriven Race: Human Skillset: Uses a mace, stone leg is good for kicking, Ect. Can steal his enemies energy, or at least some of it, and give it to himself (through use of his cursed leg). Character description: Spikey brown hair, blue eyes, blue hooded-t-shirt. Mace. jeans, shoes. Yup, I'm boring. Still waiting on Deviette to get back to me on my replies. *nudge*

I kept on seeing 'archer' and got worried ^_^U I was thinking "if everyone is going to be an archer... I'll want to change my weapon so that there is some diversity" but there is a little ^_^
edit: are you going to have a character too f0n9? or are you just going to be the DM/GM that hides in the shadows ~_^?
edit 2: Oh can anyone guess who I kinda based my character off of? Hint: He's from one of my latest obsessions... ~_^

too easy right? Sorry I love the guy... I decided though that since this is the first time RPing a guy... it probably should be based off of something I already know ^_^U

Lyude's awesome. ^-^ Pity he doesn't have wings... but I suppose his use of musical instruments as weapons makes up for it. XD

I'm sure he does have wings... but do you see anyone in the Empire with their wings out? They're against using their 'wings of the heart' because they think they represent barbaricism. I love Lyude's weapons and attack names ^_^. And I'm a huge music lover too... no wonder Lyude became my fav right off the bat... I'll have some differences with Cathan though... I'm tempted to change his weapon though... there are a lot of archers....
