ok so i was told to just ask for my jewels i would like something in the green to red but whatever you think is best. i would also like to be a black widow and a healer but not a queen. maybe a prestess. do you need a backstory because i have a neat story if you will accept it? when is this game set?

Hi and welcome! I'm Amy, and usually lurk around in the corners late at night. We don't request specific Jewels, well, not until you have points and all that jazz, so one of the Admins will use their magical Jewel randomiser gadget, and what not, then you post your backstory and description and offer cookies to the Admins and they approve/suggest edits. Also, this RPG is set something like 50,000 years in the future of the Black Jewels stories, so there's no chance of cross-stories or meeting book characters etc.

Welcome once again we lurve newbies.

Amy

ok that works. so i just post my backstory here then?

If you want to wait for your Jewels, you can, and then post your story, or if your story isn't influenced by Jewels, you can post it and add in your Jewels later

You'd be best off creating an OOC account as soon as possible, cuz then it makes it easier to keep track and for people to know who your characters are etc. And when you do get set up, Nia or Sam (the Admins) will change your username to the first name of your character, like mine are "Anabella" or "Valentine" when I log in.

Hope I'm being some help for you!

well i want my character to have this name.
i could probably give my background without jewels but id like to talk to the admins because my idea may seem wonky and they may not allow it. how often do they get on and accept characters?

Hello and welcome to Witchfire!

As Amy said already, we do love our newbies. Concerning your name - Mythrah is a perfectly good one and Diablo... decisively not. Since it's so close to the name of one of the book characters, I would like you to reconsider that one so we wouldn't make any writers mad.

Jewels are easy peasy. I can roll them for you right away. However, multi classes(Black Widow Healer, Black Widow Priestess etc) are attainable through special petition process by players that have played on Witchfire for a while. Since having more than one caste is extremely rare, I'm sure you'll understand our wish to get to know you and the other way around before we hand over such a big burden and responsibility. If you would still want to go with Black Widow, that will be fine.

Let me know what your thoughts are. And if you want to discuss further in detail and out of public eye, feel free to use the PM system.

Welcome again!

ok we can change the name i dont want to be connected with the sadiablo line. with the duel class i wanted to do a multiple personalitys thing so i wouldnt be more than one at one time. if it wont be allowed thats fine i can make a totaly different character.

Very well then! I am rolling your jewels right away.

Birthright: Yellow
Offering: Summer Sky

Nice neat full descent, I look forward to seeing what you come up with *smiles*

Name:Mythrah (last name unknown)
Age:200
Race:Eyrien though she is oddly pale for one, white hair and pale skinned.
Jewels: Yellow/Summer sky
Social Rank:none
Territory:Ebon Askavi
Description:Mythrah is short only a little over 5'3". She has pure white hair. She is very pale skinned and even her wings are nearly white. She is thin but deceptively lithe and strong.
When she is in her healer personality she tends to wear long flowing gowns. She tends to lean towards silvers and blues. When she is in her black widow personality she wears eyrien leathers. She wears a lot of black when in her black widow form.
History:Mythrah was born in a small village near Ebon Rih in Kaeleer. She was kidnapped and sold when she was 3 and taken to Terreille. She somehow escaped the web coach and ended up somewhere in the mountains where she was attacked by jinka. She was saved by a group of eyrien warriors who not knowing what to do with her took her into the war camp. She shied away from fighting and would try to help the wounded which earned her many beatings. If she was too live with them she would have to learn to fight like the rest of them. Being smaller and weaker than the other warriors she took many a blow to the head. She seemed to be torn trying to heal and fighting for her life. One day when she was 15 she was raped by one of the young warriors and she finally snapped. She nearly killed him but when she came to she didn't remember what had happened. She healed his wounds but she was thrown out of the camp after that. She somehow found her way through a gate and back to Kaeleer. Wandering, she was attacked on the road by bandits. None of them survived. still in her rage she tried to destroy the nearest village. She was stopped by an old black widow. Seeing that she should be a black widow the old woman took her in and trained her. Just after she finished her training the old woman took ill, this snapped her back to her docile healers self and she cared for the old woman until she died. Now she wanders again. (pain and rage turn her into her black widow fighter personality and compassion and the need of a healer turns her into the docile healer but she has no formal training in healing as of yet. neither personality knows about the other)

Hey there

Please follow the ever-so-convenient character sheet template and mind the rather gentle requirements we have for the description and background substance.

You can find the template and information here!

Thanks,

Nia

Hi again,

I very much appreciate the usage of the form however, the character concept itself is a little far-fetched.

First of all, there is a clear rule about no half-breeds and with white(!) hair and other uncharacteristic traits, Mythrah is no Eyrien.

The name is a second problem. All Eyrien feminine names end with -ian/-an so it would probably be something in the lines of Mythrian?

Third concern I have is the Ebon Askavi part. It's a closed location here on Witchfire and therefore shouldn't really be used like this. If you pick an Askavi, make a note of whether it's Askavi, Terreille or Askavi, Kaeleer.

Dual caste isn't available for new members. Perhaps once you've been around and played with us and gotten to know us better and we got a better feel of your writing style, you can apply for it.

The whole background is a mush of dramatics, one after another. I would appreciate it if you made it a bit more sensible and normal. There is no way a child would get through Gates this easily as you've described and so on... Plus I would really like it if you didn't add an underage rape into this story either. I know it's a part of the story in the books but really, we can make our own story since this is an alternate universe and I have a low tolerance for rather terrible stuff like that. All in all, your background needs a lot of work.

As a good example of a good character sheet, check out Kaelian Vale.

I know this all comes off as mean, probably, but I am really trying to incorporate your style with ours so you could put a bit more thought into this character you're going to be playing in order for us to enjoy being in scenes with her. If you have any questions, comments, suggestions or otherwise, please feel free to post or PM me them personally.

I wish you a very nice day,

Niamee
