~Counting Stars~ (Sign Ups and Discussion)

[Shard the Gentleman 2,891]

"It is not in the stars to hold our destiny, but in ourselves." ~ William Shakespeare

 

Once, many years ago, there was a star. Yes, just one. For a long time, it was the only star in the heavens, beloved and adored by many. Unbeknownst by its observers, the star belonged to a grand witch, one who had great and mysterious powers. She cared for the star, for it was as unique as herself. One day, however, the star disappeared. The world below, which had admired the star for years, searched frantically to recover it. All seemed lost, and the witch had returned to the world below to live out her days as an outcast. However, a small boy discovered the star, and cared for it himself.

When the time came that he was to die, he made a wish that the star would once again return to the sky, and give birth to many more. The star heard the boy's plea, and it came to pass that the skies would glow with many stars. The First Star, as it came to be known, returned to the sky. The witch, witnessing the star rise up from the earth, rejoiced. At least, until many more stars became apparent. The witch left again for the skies, searching for her star, never to find it amongst the many identical ones. She cursed the earth for losing her star, and the people became ill. The stars heard the anguish below, and granted a cure amongst the people. Droplets were born, granting those who found them temporary health, for as long as 48 hours.

However, it would seem that the star of old has once again fallen unto the earth below. A small village took notice, each citizen racing for a wish of their own. That is where our story begins.

Take your place as the hero of your own story. Would you wish for fame? Glory? Money? Health? Looks? What should you wish for? Not only must you keep yourself alive in a harsh environment that depends on the power of Droplets to survive, but you must also beware the witch! Her search for her star has resumed once more, and she is also on her way to recover what she deems to be her property! Defend yourself from the Witch, other players, harsh environments, and even wild creatures! Be prepared to come up with some battle skills.

---

This RP takes place in a Renaissance-Era Village known as Alaby [Al-ah-bee], which is quite run down, to say the least. We begin the RP the day before the night of the Starfall. Poor folk take up most of the population, who suffer from the wrath of the town Tax Collector, who... well, collects tax for the king. The downtrodden town lights up when the star becomes known among them, and the race begins to better their lives, one way or the other! You may also form alliances with other players, if you so wish. This RP was inspired by the Animaniacs movie "Wakko's Wish." Thanks to Aqua7KH for giving me some suggestions!

-Droplets-
There are two kinds of Droplets to be found.

• Blue Droplets
  

Blue Droplets are collected to keep the Villagers healthy and alive - without them, the villagers are sure to die in a matter of hours! Be sure to look out for these and collect as many as you can. You can collect a number of them and preserve them for later use. BUT BEWARE! You're not the only villager who needs Droplets to survive. Everyone does! So if you find a Droplet, be sure to nab it first! These droplets don't disappear. After you use its power, it stops glowing, and shrinks down for your convenience.

• Gold Droplets
  

Now, Gold Droplets are EXTREMELY special. When collected, these Droplets are absorbed, and can temporarily empower your character! You may get visions of the past, or of the future. You may also receive temporary speed, improved jumping skills, heightened senses, etc. (The power up you get will be determined with a random generator.)

If you're worried about this RP being too fast for you, no worries needed! I promise that it'll be a good mixture of intensity and slow moments. While the main goal is make a wish, there will be random halts, so you can have fun moments.

Here's the Witch sheet!

Name: Vivian Holdings
Age: ???
Gender: Female
Appearance:

Occupation: She's a witch man, a witch!
Personality: Vivian is definitely the jealous type. Once she has something,
She'll never let go! The few friends she did have are long gone now. She's grown to be quite a sad character, but one with a sense of vengeance. Once just a playful girl, but now she is held back by herself.
Bio: Vivian didn't know of the stars magical powers until after the boy had made the first wish. Now, she wants to make wish herself. What wish that could be, nobody knows. Not much is known of her past, but I have a feeling we will find out soon! She's the only witch- as far as anyone knows- who became a witch through unknown means.
Battle Skills: She specializes in magic, of the dark kind!

I'm giving this one a go. No questions.

 

Name: Maurice Baker
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Appearance:

 

 

Something like this.

Occupation: Gunner of a pirate crew.

 

 

Personality: Eccentric, peculiar, adventurous and a dreamer. However, because of his overly optimistic attitude, he fails to see the trails in life when they approach. He also is very attached to his family.
Bio: The Baker family, despite the name, are a strong group from a long line of pirates. Because of the family bond, the Baker's are very unique in being one of the few family-oriented pirate crews. Maurice is the second oldest of two brothers, one who is 12, and one who is 24. They adventure to scavenge for blue and golden droplets, but now that they have landed in Alaby, their curiosity is at it's peak. Maurice wishes to possess the gift of everlasting youth.
Battle Skills: Has intermediate experience with firearms and cannons. His aim is the best in the crew.

[Josuke Higashikata 2,141]

Name: Henry. Just... Henry.
Age: About 20-ish, although he'd never say how old exactly.
Gender: Male
Appearance:

 

 

Occupation: N/A
Personality: Some people would call Henry mad. Deriving a joyous feeling from shooting, caring not if or what he hit. Some people are correct. Henry'd never say. He keeps to himself, keeping quiet, never really saying what's on his mind. Up until the moment he pulls the trigger, he says very little. Expressing few emotions, driving joy only from pulling the trigger. But he puts on a front of enjoying other things. He can hold a conversation, but would rather be left to his own devices.
Bio: He was born in the same village as Satchel, growing up in a rich household. He had every possible luxury that he could want, and yet he never enjoyed it. His parents gave him everything he wanted, and thus he wanted for nothing. But he was still bored. One day, however, his father took him sharpshooting, and Henry found joy in using pistols. Since that day, he has always carried a pair of pistols by his side. [Potentially named Sumia and Lissa, but probably not.] His parent's officially hired Satchel, but he talks with Satchel more than them. He wouldn't exactly call him and Satchel... friends, but their relationship a bit more than just domestic servant and master.
Battle Skills: He's surprisingly skilled with pistols, carrying one for each hand.

First time Roleplaying on KH13; this looks like a lot of fun!

 

Name: Fable Rogers

Age: Nineteen

Gender: Female

Appearance:

Clothes: 

 

 

Face: 

 

Occupation: Inventor/Librarian

Personality: Fable is often described as creative - which helps a lot with her job. She's a very open book in some ways, in terms of ideas and her opinions, but where it comes to actual motives she keeps them to herself. Very friendly with new people, she tries her best to make friends with people and to get in their good books. Fable can be talkative, though she can also be quiet; she tries to read the situation as best as possible to give acceptable feedback.

Bio: Fable comes from a somewhat wealthier family in Alaby, which has funded her dreams of inventing. From a young age she tinkered with creating mobile vehicles, and managed to make multiple, small versions of what she hoped would become her ticket out of this place. Her family never really supported her ideas, but allowed them to continue as long as Fable applied herself to another job - which led to her becoming the librarian of Alaby. 

Battle Skills: She's proficient with using her "claws," which were first created to be used for self-defense. (Image below)

 

 

 

Name: Tobias (Toby) Wren
Age: Twenty-three
Gender: Male
Appearance:

Face: 

 

 

Clothes: 

 

Occupation: Stable boy
Personality: Tobias is reserved; distant with new people, and even with some people he is accustomed to. He can be cold, but is quick to smile when the topic turns to things he enjoys. Toby has a quick wit and dry sense of humour, and is very sarcastic at times. Toby would say he enjoys the company of his horses more than that of people.
Bio: At a young age Tobias began to work at the Tax Collector's stables, as a gift from his parents who owed him more money than they could afford. This entitled his family to stable income, and more room in their house for his brothers and sisters. The Wren family is known for being large, and many of the children old enough to work are sent away as soon as they can - though none of them complain. As an almost compensation for his parents' willingness to send the boy away, his Stable Master trained him to handle blades, too.
Battle Skills: Quick and light on his feet, Toby can handle a sword as well as the next person.

Hey Faryn is it okay if my character works at the library with Fable? I put that she works at the library when I made my sheet yesterday. ^^' if you don't like it I'll change it.

 

 

Name: Luminita "Luma" Dimente

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Appearance:

Occupation: Assistant Librarian/Part­Time Maid

Personality: As an assistant librarian in the library in her town, Luma is the learning type. Although she isn't a book worm at all, Luma does like to digest information especially on the lore of her town as well as the stars. She is very soft and kind and will do whatever it takes to help her closest friends and allies. She is also brave when need be, however she doesn't like the idea of violence too much.

Bio: Despite her father being in charge of the local library, Luma's family is very poor along with the rest of the village. Sadly her mother left her when she was very young, so as a result she is very close to her single father as well as her best friend Satchel and the rest of her close allies. She also works time to time as a maid for the rich houses in her village, which her father despises for it takes a toll on her health and they often mistreat her.

Battle Skills: She is very good with a dagger, as taught by her father. She is also skilled in thinking fast, as well as using her environment to her advantage. She has a talent for finding droplets, as well as first aid.

Horray! I'll post when I actually have the time/shot

[Hargleblargleboo 979]

Hoorah! I'll have to post later tonight, though. Got a TON of stuff to do.

[Shard the Gentleman 2,891]

Take your time, guys! Also, one other thing. I'll randomly announce events or Droplet appearences in this form:[A Blue Droplet appeared at/in ____][The Tax Collector has collected 3 Daisy Tile from all Villagers.][Fable has lost 1 Daisy Tile while riding]  - Events like these are most likely not going to happen[48 Hours remaining until Droplets must be renewed. (VILLAGER) and (VILLAGER) need to find a Droplet, or purchase one from the Dropletteer.]Also, Villagers, how you receive Tile is up to you, you work a day, you gain tile, you may find Tile on the ground, etc etc.I will also announce other things like this, but no spoilers yet! 

[Shard the Gentleman 2,891]

Guys, if I do something wrong, of if you have suggestions, message me. This is the first RP that I have SUCCESSFULLY hosted so far, and I am trying not to mess up.
