Geist Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 [COLOR=blue] [SIZE=3][B]Rumbumbalo Annual Festival: The First Millennia[/SIZE][/B] [I]Once a year, in the town of Goobly, a festival is held to celebrate the picking of the large Rumbumbalo fruit. To the Gooblians, this delicious fruit is a necessary part of life. They use it for food, makeup, medicine, soaps, and to lift their spirits. It is large enough to feed the whole town, and this year, the mayor has said that the harvest should be especially plentiful for the first millennium. Also, it has long been said that if you stand under the Rumbumbalo fruit and touch the trunk of the tree when you make a wish, it will come true. (There's a warning to this legend as well. They say that if your wish is evil, a Rumbumbalo fruit will fall down and crush you.) Finny has wished under the Rumbumbalo tree for as long as he can remember, but it has never worked for him. Maybe it will work this time? It is the first Millennium Celebration after all...[/I] (As always, there are a few things you must know before you sign up for this RPG. [B]1. It takes place in a semi-medieval time. 2. The Goobly people are like human-size fairies. 3. I didn't try to make a set idea for this world, so feel free to describe whatever you like as long as you keep these things in mind: a: There is only one Rumbumbalo tree. b: The village of Goobly is quite large and the houses are brick with straw roofs. c: Goobly village is on an island that could probably be described as tropical. Thank you for your patience. I'll need a few people to be friends with my character. If you have any questions about this RPG, send me a PM. Look below for what you need to sign up.)[/B] [B]Name:[/B] (Please don't use common, or Japanese names. I would suggest you choose a Celtic or English name. Original names would also be good but they're not required.) [B]Age:[/B] (Please try to keep the ages young.Like from 10-15 or 17.) [B]Gender:[/B] [B]Description:[/B] (Don't forget the colored wings and the pointy ears.) [B]Background:[/B] (Please put some effort into this. You don't have to write a book, I just don't want to end up with any fortune cookie backgrounds.) If you're still confused, (which you probably are,) then look below at my sign up for an example.) [B]Name:[/B] Finton "Finny" Merle [B]Age:[/B] 11 [B]Gender:[/B] Male [B]Description:[/B] Dark blue hair, green eyes, pointy ears, rosy cheeks, blue and green wings, pale blue tunic, always carries around a leather bag of tools, a silver flute, and a tall metal rod [B]Background:[/B] Finny wants to be a soldier like his father, but that dream ended with his apprenticeship to Lorne the Lamplighter and earned him the nickname, "Little Lamplighter". Disappointed, he turned his passion to inventing. However, with the arrival of the first millennium for the Rumbumbalo tree, he feels that things will finally be different.

Okay. here's the real stuff. Notorious was a pirate of a crew who owned a ship called the Darkened Wave. After trying to hoard most of the treasure for himself one night, he found himself escaping with the loot in a longboat with a hole in it's bottom. Losing all of the treasure except the anount he shoved in his pockets, he managed to get to an island's shore over a coarse of a day and night. He then stole a vessel. Having extremely bad luck, he found that this ship also was due for repair and had a hole in it. The ship slowly sank and he landed himself on Goobly Island or whatnot. Now, he once again, wishes to get back out of here and sail off to find more treasure. That good, mate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geist Posted August 29, 2003 Author Share Posted August 29, 2003 [COLOR=blue] Alright everyone, I know I said that I would start this a couple of days ago, but it will have to wait until after Labor Day. I'm closing the sign ups but if anyone else really wants to join, just send me a PM of your character and I'll think about it. Once I get back and start this, I'll PM all of the players. (If you still care by then.) [/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
