Vicky Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 [CENTER][B][SIZE=1][U][COLOR=red]Legends: Robin Hood 3005[/U] [M-LVS][/B] Among the stories such as Treasure Island, Troy and King Arthur there is one story, the story of a hero and his merry men: Robin Hood. Though Robin may have died hundreds of years ago there is still something in the hearts of those who love his story ? His spirit will never die. Robin Hood stole from the rich and gave to the poor; now that?s a hero, let me tell you that. Not many people know the whole details of his story, actually not many people know all of his merry men, but everyone knows that he stole from the rich and gave to the poor. However this was over a hundred years ago, and in this present timeline it?s over a thousand years ago. Yes, welcome to 3005.[/COLOR] = = =[/CENTER] In 2678 there was a world war. The government had changed; there was no more alliance between countries and every country was by itself. When invaders from all over started attacking other countries for control the world war started, ending in 2750. This war had ended in peace though some country were still divided and on their own. Though Great Britain was the only country standing on its own at the present time, having no alliances, no allies, and no enemies. Because of this Britain was able to rebuild its country faster than the others, and they brought back the Kings. Seeing that one man ruling was better they picked a King to rule Great Britain: Sebastian Tiberius, in 2962. This King spent all his money on himself, the rich, building cities in England and nothing else. Instead of having cities all over England he decided to have England as one large city, with one problem, the poor. Sebastian didn?t care about the poor, just those who had the money. England was split? the middle and North were the richest while the rest of England was poor and still living in 2005. The money wasn?t shared out anymore, it was all for the rich. No one else could have it, Sebastian made sure of that. With England being a powerful futuristic world of its own no other country dared invade or interfere. Therefore no other country knew of Sebastian?s greed and selfishness. If he kept the poor at bay and gave them nothing his system could work easily and he would forever have money and the power of England as long as the rich gave him the money, it was easy. Though he forgot one thing? people, refugees and runaways, sneaking into the powerful country for protection. The population grew larger and larger, mostly the poor. Sebastian only spent a little money on the poor so they could give it him back, but now it was too much. The poor needed more money and everyday companies for the poor would come and ask for his support. Sebastian had no choice but too agree to it or else the country would see him for what he truly was, but being Sebastian he didn?t want to give up his money. In a stroke of genius Sebastian came up with a great idea: Slavery, executions? he wanted to get rid of the poor. He ordered all men of the poor to find work or else they would be killed or imprisoned and the children could not be on the streets. The only time children were allowed out was 4pm to 6pm, just for their health. But Sebastian only let them out so the country wouldn?t think much of it. If a child were found outside and not in the 2 hours they had them Sebastian would either kill them or imprison them as slaves. With the new laws in place there was no room in England for the poor. Sebastian?s plan was to get the poor out of his country, but his mind soon twisted into much sinister thoughts. He then came up with a new law to keep his country running off the hard work of the poor: No Englishmen may leave the country unless they had authority from the King, and the poor had no authority. To help keep this in place, a Lawyer nicknamed ?The Sheriff? was hired to keep everything in order around England. However, when there is evil there is good. A young man by the name of Robin had nothing but a collection of ancient books from a thousand years ago. He read one and found the legend of Robin Hood, who gave to the poor what he stole from the rich. Seeing the old English world like the new future one, Robin decided to make the Legend of Robin Hood come back to life, in the future. He set up his own special place down the alleys and in the warehouses and abandoned houses starting his own new cult. After that, Robin and his new men set out for the same goal Robin Hood had hundreds of years ago: something for the poor. Steal from the rich, give to the poor. Welcome to Robin Hood 3005, the tale of a hero and his men. [CENTER]= = = [list]This RPG takes place in 3005, with you either playing a poor person on Robin?s side or a rich person working for Sebastian.[/list] [list]I guess this will work in Chapter?s. The Chapter?s might be a little controlled, with certain characters in certain Chapter?s, though I do want most characters in every Chapter. What will happen is that I?ll post a Chapter and say who?s mainly going to be in it, you can still post if your name isn?t there, though.[/list] [list]Your weapon must be futuristic, but you could use something like the old Robin Hood Legend.[/list] [list]If you are replacing one of the characters from the Robin Hood tale, then put it in your name (Like Little John or Friar Tuck), but you don?t have to look like them. Also this is not entirely based on the tale.[/list] [list]If this goes well then I will be making another RPG, a second Legend. You might see something like; Legend: Troy 2400.[/list] [list]Dedication, please. Stick with the RPG, and if you might have to drop out later on then don?t join.[/list] [list]There will be swearing, lots of violence and possible sex in this RPG, so if you?re offended by anything then don?t join, of course.[/list] [list]I?ll play Robin Hood.[/list] [list]All children become adults at 19.[/list] [list]Also there is a character not mentioned above, a character that takes the place of the Sheriff of Nottingham from the old tale. This character is going to be a Lawyer (for amusement, and for the reason that Lawyer?s defend the rich). This character will simply be called the Sheriff, who?s a lawyer in charge of most of the law around the city. Anyone who wants to play this character is free to, just PM me first and I?ll give you some information.[/list] [list]Since this is set in the future the police will have different weapons from today, though I want to keep them simple. The weapons of police are simply bullet guns (mostly machine) powered by lasers which just make the bullet fire faster and harder.[/list][/CENTER] [COLOR=red]For the sign-up, I?m not too bothered how you have it set out. Just have the following included into your sign-up: [B]Name/Nick Name Age Side Weapons/Items Talents Description[/COLOR] (Just a face shot or something) [COLOR=red]Personality Biography[/COLOR] (Over 3 paragraphs, please)[/B] [COLOR=red]Set it out however you like as long as those as included. You can also add things if you wish. Here?s mine, as always:[/COLOR] [CENTER][B]Robin Hood[/B] [IMG]http://img58.exs.cx/img58/3074/271normal0vf.jpg[/IMG] Age 18 [B]Talents and Weapons/Items:[/B][/CENTER] One of his only items that isn't a weapon is his sun and moon neckless which he was given at birth and has never lost since he grew up. Robin carries with him his [URL=http://img58.exs.cx/img58/5078/i415726vr034br.jpg]bow[/URL] (click) which is his first weapon and his [URL=http://img58.exs.cx/img58/9328/p014585hz022fv.jpg]crossbow[/URL] (click) is his secondary weapon. He uses the cross bow as a sort of sniper since it has a longer range then his bow. His bow is powerful enough to have a good range, since the wheels on the top give the arrows an extra jump. [CENTER]= = =[/CENTER] To be out at night and outside the hours you have to be quick and sneaky, just like Robin. His talents are mostly sneaking around, hiding and of course he has a very keen eye for his archery. Being in the poor world, he has to have ways to get to useful things, he has to have good resources of else he wouldn?t be alive today. For most of his life Robin had dedicated himself to finding sort cuts through the darker streets, quick and easy ways to get to places, the best hideouts and the best ambushing areas. Along with all this, Robin is also very intelligent. Though he never had any education he still learnt a lot by himself and making up new plots and plans to get past guards, also to steal things from the rich just to survive. [CENTER][B]Personal:[/CENTER][/B] A young boy who was born in the world of the poor, Robin is would be someone who?s bitter and spiteful to the rich, but he?s not. A lot like the old tale Robin, he?s actually a very humourus person and likes to joke around with his hostages or mostly rich people. When it comes to ambushes or capturing hostages Robin goes about it in a somewhat ?funny? way, but then again he?s also serious about it. Though most things Robin takes as a joke there are times when he gets very serious, for example if a person was murdered then he would indeed get very, very serious about the incident. Moving from his jokes and random serious personality, Robin is very accepting, accepting and helping anyone he can even if they can?t give something in return. Heartless people and horrible people are out of question unless they do something for him first, something small, not something big. Though if they can?t give anything and have no reason too, then he?ll do it. Robin is a good leader, that?s why he?s in charge of this ?mini rebellion? against the King. He?s not afraid of death, he?s not afraid of being caught and murdered, though he is afraid he hasn?t done enough and his soul won?t make it too God. Robin believes that he can only get his soul to God by keeping his promise, so he knows God?s waiting for him and he?s not afraid to die at all, not even a painful death, he just doesn?t want to see his soul not make it to God. Another thing about Robin is that he?ll sacrifice himself for others if the reason were good enough, this is one of the reasons he?s helping the poor and doing such dangerous things, because he?s not afraid of self-sacrifice. [CENTER]= = =[/CENTER] Robin Bohimen was born with no father, only a mother who took care of him in the poorest places in England, around the warehouses and very old houses and since Robin's birth his mother gave him a neckless of a moon. His mother was 27 when she gave birth to Robin, but when Robin was just 2 years old his mother fell in love with one of her best friends, making her best friend pose as Robin?s father for life. The only problem was, Robin?s ?supposed father? was David Reed, a known murderer and a wanted man by Sebastian. His was wanted for numerous robberies and murders in the larger parts of the city, not to mention a few important people, but the most known and dangerous one of all was that David Reed had murdered Sebastian?s half sister. Though the King couldn?t care less he used his half sister?s death as an excuse to hunt down and murder David no matter what happened to anyone else. Due to David, Robin constantly had to move around England. At this time he was only 6 years old, but had a good grasp of most the things going on. He still thought David was his father, though and didn?t know the truth. When it seemed like the King had finally given up on looking for David they all settled down in a small city of dank streets, old warehouses, old houses and old everything were most of the poor people were. It was as if the King had never covered the small city yet, it seemed untouched by the King?s ruthless laws. Robin and his parents lived from that day on in an old house, but with all David?s stolen money he was able to make it a little better. When Robin was 8 he decided to wonder off too far out of the city and ran into some guards of Sebastian?s. Though Robin managed to evade most of them, all except one who followed him back to his home city. This was when Robin started using the routes and places of his home to ambush people. He simply ran all over the place and waited until the guard lost him, then ambushed the guard and stole his weapons, including a crossbow. Robin let the guard escape, not really knowing much about life and death at the age of 8. The guard reported everything to the King, but the King refused to believe that any poor boy could overpower his mighty guards. At this time the King had hired the Sheriff, who disagreed with the King. When the Sheriff had finished his current court case he sent new men out and armed them with the latest in bullet and laser technology. 10 men were sent to the small city, but only 4 returned. It seemed that David was back to his old tricks, but Robin?s mother had joined in with the murders this time. David later gave Robin something he had gotten a long time ago, from a museum. It was a 21st century bow, complete with arrows and enough string power to shoot through the heads of three men. David told Robin to keep it as a present for all the crappy birthday?s and other celebration, so that was exactly what Robin did. When he was 12, Robin had learnt how to use a bow and the crossbow he had acquired from the guard when he was 8. At the age of 13 Robin was defying the law all the time. For a challenge he had moved to the better-guarded areas of England and ?teased? the guards. It became almost a hobby, pulling the guards back into the maze streets and ambushing them or causing them embarrassment in front of all the unfortunate poor people. The Sheriff had tried his own hand at punishing Robin, but even at 13 Robin was very smart and his childish, playful pranks seemed to always get the best of the guards. When the Sheriff reported everything once again to the King he asked permission to kill the boy when they caught him, and the King granted the request. Though the Sheriff was not going to stop to kill Robin, he also had no idea whereabouts they lived in the poorer parts, not the mention Robin was far away from there. Robin started to see how badly people were treated if they had little or no money, and frankly he didn?t like what the King was doing being from a poor family himself. From the age of 14 he decided to help the poor people and focused himself on stealing for a good cause. He would pick the pockets of the guards, knock them over and steal their gold, then give it to the poor for food, and even sometimes he would invade the Sheriff?s private camps and steal most of his food. For a while Robin was said to be the master of all thieves and uncatchable, but the Sheriff was going to devise a plan to catch him. When Robin was finally 17 and really envisioning the future in favour of the poor the Sheriff put his master plan into action. He managed to get Robin?s parents out of the streets and planned to play it Robin?s way with an ambush, but when this happened David and Robin?s mother had their own weapons and practically murdered the guards. For awhile the Sheriff stalled Robin from attacking by convincing him that his parents were as bad as the richer people by murdering guards instead of letting them go embarrassed and annoyed, like Robin did. For a while, Robin believed the Sheriff and was determined to teach his own parents a lesson, but he didn?t. During the time of Robin?s hesitation there was a second ambushed in which Robin?s parents were murdered. David wasn?t giving up, though. He survived for a while longer and told Robin that there was a huge secret about his parents and that one day he?d find it, but until then he had to do whatever he could as long as it was in favour of the good people of England. Robin asked why he had to do everything that was good, and his father simply replied that everyone goes to heaven (David being a Christian, a religion still alive) and the bad don?t, but when you do bad things for the right reasons and don?t succeed the chance of getting to heaven is a lot lesser, so he had to be careful and not be afraid of death, just afraid of not helping his soul reach God. Robin vowed to himself that he would keep a promise to his dead parents and himself, so he went back to his home and took everything he could, then he found a book when he was thinking about his parents, a book entitled ?Robin Hood?. Robin spent all of his time reading it and figured it was exactly like his lie, so it inspired him to o as Robin did with his merry men. He changed his second name to Hood and took the name of a Legendary Hero, and a few months before he was 18 he started recruiting for his band of merry men and boys.[/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelus_Necare Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 [center][font=Garamond][center][color=seagreen][size=4][b]Sergi Oliver[/b][/color][/size][/center][/font] [center][IMG]http://img.mensdivision.net/MDV7.jpg[/IMG][/center] [center][color=seagreen][font=bookantiqua][size=2]Age 18[/color][/font][/center][/size] [font=bookantiqua][size=2][color=seagreen][center][b][u]Side:[/u][/b] Sides with Robin[/color][/size][/font][/center] [font=bookantiqua][color=seagreen][center][b][u]Weapons/Items/Talents[/b][/u] Oliver doesn't fancy himself a very skilled or seasoned fighter, but he can defend himself quite well and enough to possibly wound his attacker in the process. The weapon of choice for Oliver comes in the form of an ExStaff, a small metalic disk that can rest in the palm of one's hand and extend several feet for use as a fighting staff. This weapon has become common among the poor, since they are easy to make produce and hide from prying eyes. While not being a very good fighter, Oliver has spent many years pouring his talents into other things, such as the operations, workings and dissasembling of various modern and historic gadgets. Oliver takes great pride in his ability to create or fix any peice of technology that would happen to come across his path, and it has made him a rather sought after individual where the law is concerned. For his crimes against giving the poor better technology than they are allowed Oliver is constantly hunted throughout the poverty strucken bouroughs in which he lives. Which brings us to his next talent, speed. Over the years of being harassed and chased by the law officials who monitor the city, Oliver has developed quite a talent for running. Nearly as speedy as they come, he's been known to avoid authorities on quick feet again and again, rather than standing his ground to fight.[/color][/font][/center] [font=bookantiqua][color=seagreen][center][b][u]Personality:[/u][/b] If one could describe Oliver in three words it would be, "Bright yet dense". Althought he may be a genius when it comes to using his hands and brainpowe, he lacks in the social and common sense areas that most streetwise rebels use to survive. It's not to say that Oliver is completely hopeless at knowing what's what. He can determine when he's in danger and when he's among friends, along with making decisions on what's propper for each situation. The problem really lies within Oliver's unwavering trust and friendliness towards everyone he meets. His ability to trust without doubt makes him rather gullable to whom he chooses to listen to, and he's been known to take things very literally as well. Although as frustrating as these qualities can be for someone meeting Oliver for the first time, his braindead characteristics dimish with the more he comes to know how a particular person acts. His friendliness is rather open and given to anyone he may come across, be it friend, stranger or complete enemy. Oliver treats everyone he meets with a kind amount of respect and politeness. Given that he receives a small amount in return.[/color][/center][/font] [font=bookantiqua][color=seagreen][center][b][u]Biography:[/b][/u] It is unknown when exactly Sergi Oliver was born or if that was his one true name, for the child had been abandoned just days old upon the steps of the sisters Wenna and Henna Sergi, two old twins who were rather well off as far as money went. Wenna and Henna, never having children of their own instantly took the baby boy in without hesitation and thus raised him as they saw fit. Naming the baby had been somewhat of a dispute in the sister's household, Wenna vying for their surname Sergi, so the family name could be carried on. And Henna, pleading with her sister to name the boy Oliver, after an orphen in a book she had read as a girl. After much dispute, the two settled on the odd, yet agreeable name of Sergi Oliver. Sergi (who would start refering to himself as Oliver in his teen years) grew into a fine loving boy under his Grannie's Henna and Wenna's carefull and protective watch. Knowing that children couldn't be let out any time of the day other than the time designated for them, the sisters let Oliver spend hours on end in their attic where he could play with the ancient technology that had been passed down through the Sergi family as heirlooms. This was where Oliver had first accuired a fine taste for gadgets and the unavoidable urge to tinker with them. Henna and Wenna encouraged the boy's talent, and would marvel at what contraptions he could produce. As Oliver grew older, he began to sneak out of the house while his grannies slept to scour around the neighborhood for broken peices of gadgets, or anything else that would proove usefull for his fascination. Sneaking out was rather dangerous, and at times risky. But it was undesribably fun and soon Oliver found himself leaving the house unnoticed every night. One muggy summer evening near Oliver's fifteenth birthday, the boy returned home to find several police cars parked in front of his house, extracting loaded gurneys from the house he grew up in. He would later come to find that his caretakers Wenna and Henna had died in their sleep, but at the moment he started for home all that filled his heart was saddness and fear. He knew he couldn't approach the house with the lawmen there after hours, so he did the only thing that came to mind, he ran. Soon homeless, Oliver began his secluded lifestyle in deserted shanties that would hide him durring the Non-child hours and serve as a makeshift home. He still gathered materials for his tinkering needs, and shortly began indipendent work as a repairman to those who couldn't pay for professional help. Being somewhat of a recluse for nearly four years Oliver has been living the same lifestyle he had found for himself after his Grannies died. But now nearing nineteen he knows that the hard restricting life of adulthood lies ahead. He feels the need for change, and now seeks a way to throw the system away and live his own life.[/color][/center][/font] [/center] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skye Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 [center][font=veranda][color=indigo][size=1][b]Marion Tye[/b] [img] http://img86.exs.cx/img86/5705/39lu.jpg[/img] Age 18 Sides with Robin Hood [b]Talents and Weapons[/b] Marion wields a long bow, one almost as tall as she is. She often competes against Robin, testing skills, but each time Marion wins. Robin highly dislikes this. Marion is a fine shooter, the best, but she is also amazingly good with knives. Her knives have an electricity generator in the hilt, which charges the edges of the blade. ~*~ Marion is a very agile and flexible girl. She is also slight, and slim, making it very easy for her to twist out of anyone?s hold. She always knows where to put her feet, and is very fast. Though the girl?s eyesight is not as good as Robin?s, Marion has quick reflexes that often see for her. She is highly intelligent, meaning she knows when to stay out of the band leader?s way. She also has a talent for getting Robin steamed, but when someone else does it, she is always who he talks to first. [b]Personal[/b] Marion is a very fond of teasing people. Her personality matches Robin?s, almost exactly, except she has a quick temper that will flash in a heartbeat. Of course, she has pretty good control over it. The girl is often someone the younger, less experienced boys come to talk to when they are nervous about an attack, or if they are uncomfortable with something. Marion listens, and is always a shoulder to lean on. Even Robin talks to her sometimes. Marion is very much Robin?s second in command. Robin is her only better, and only because she lets him be. She whispers into the men?s ears, giving them faith, and making their loyalty to Robin stronger. Marion is often the first up and ready for battle, and is often the first to strike. She feels a strong sisterly love for Oliver, and is fond of him. [b]Biography[/b] Marion grew up in a very rich household. She had people waiting on her day and night, and her parents were never home. Marion was often a lonely girl, and so, she would tell off her maids, and do the work herself. It appalled her parents, but they would allow her no playmates, as there were no others her parents thought were of high enough rank. Once, Marion escaped. In all her frilly littel childs dresses, her shiny white shoes, she tore loose from her mother's hand on the way to church. She was, maybe, seven. Of course, the young girl got lost, having never been away from her mother before. But she had been determined not to call for help. Somehow she stumbled back home, and the horrified maids took her in, gave her a bath, and found her parents. Marion, of course, had a hell of a time about that, and she was almost never aloud out of the house again. On her thirteenth birthday, Marion ran away. She loved flashy clothing, thing sshe could flaunt her stuff in. Her parents hated it, but could not persaude her to stop wearing it. In a pair of flare jeans with holes in the knees, and a tank top, Marion climbed out her window. She was a complete tomboy, and climbing tree's in the orchard helped her prepair for this. But nothing prepaired ehr for what happened next. Stumbling down a dark alley, she ran into a boy. A oy she had never seen before. She found out about what he was doing, and soon Marion wanted to help. The girl seemed slightly out of place among all his friends, who were also male, but she never let anyone see her discomfort. She seemed perfectly happy getting down in the mud, sneaking, and stealing. Her parents never found her. She was perfectly happy with their decision to let her go. Now, she helps train the newer entries and younger boys in archery and knife fighting. *pants* Gah! My poor fingers![/size][/font][/color][/center] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onix Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 [COLOR=SlateGray][CENTER][SIZE=1]Jonothan "Little John" Black [B]Age[/B]: 21 [B]Side[/B]: Robin Hood [B]Weapons/Items[/B] Little John is proficient with a Beam-Staff (a la his Quarterstaff in the original story), a six foot long double-ended energy weapon similer in design to Darth Maul's lightsaber. However, it doesn't cut, it burns on contact with skin. In fact, it acts just like red-hot steel, scorching while knocking things aside. He also carries a pair of night-vision goggles for nocturnal activities, and always has a lock-pick kit on hand for when necessary. [B]Talents[/B] As said above, Little John is proficient with his Beam-Staff, and just about any other melee weapon you stick in his hand, from a switch-blade to a ten-foot piece of steel. In addition to being a master of weapon-combat, he's also skilled in hand-to-hand, using his superior size to his advantage. [B]Description[/B] I'll post a pic later. [B]Personality[/B] Little John is pretty light hearted, considering the times he lives in. He's always there with a witty remark, or a cutting, yet friendly, insult, often to cut Robin Hood down to size. He's probably even less serious than Robin, not even serious during dangerous missions or the heat of battle. Little John is also very kind, taking care of the young, smaller, and weaker Merry Men. He tends to try and show people the ropes, even going as far to act as a surrogate older brother/father figure to many. But beneath his kindly facade is another side of Little John, one he almost never shows anyone. Inside, he is hurt deep, like a knife jammed straight through his very soul. Some nights, he cries until dawn. Others, he'll go out and get into a fight with twenty men just to see if he'll make it through another night. He risks everything on missions, and never backs down from a fight. No one but his closest friends even know why. [B]Biography[/B] Little John grew up on the mean streets of London, poor and underprivaleged. He fought for money, food, and glory since his 10th birthday, rapidly earning a reputation among the poor and rich alike as a deadly fighter. With a simple wooden stick or even no weapon at all, he was dangerous. With a knife, gun, or simple sharp piece of metal, he was deadly. His father was gone from the first time he could remember. His mother was a prostitute who had no time for her many children, so it fell on Little John, the oldest, to care for his brothers and sisters. He did anything for his siblings, from giivng up his food to them, to killing to earn a little money. He was strong, harsh, and merciless to anyone who stood in the way of his familie's happiness. From the time he was just six, stealing food to feed his baby sister, he had to care for them. He had to protect them, and keep them from dieing on the streets. For fifteen long years he cared for them. Until the cops showed up. His mother had gotten away with her business for years, but eventually, the law caught up with her. She ran from their meager home. Little John stayed with the kids. The police forced them outside with gunfire and teargas. It was long after six. The kids were killed in front of Little John's eyes. One or two were just taken away for slavery. But everyone that Little John loved was taken away in one night. It changed him, made him snap. When he heard about Robin Hood's movement, he signed up right away. He covered the pain with the face of a happy, laughing fool. He's a joker all the time, a protector of the weak, and a warrior for justice to the bitter end. Hope that's good, eh, Vicky? Let me know if there's anything I need to change. -ULX-[/SIZE][/CENTER][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sean Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 [CENTER][SIZE=1][IMG]http://www.moviezine.se/filmbilder/004/van_helsing.jpg[/IMG] [B]Name/Nick Name[/B]: Icarus Dickinson 'The Sheriff' [B]Age[/B]: 27 [B]Side[/B]: Sebastian Tiberius [B]Weapons/Items[/B]: [B]Talents[/B]: Manipulation and Decieving [B]Personality[/B]: Icarus is horrible in all matters of speaking and when the kind ordered the new law he was over-joyed about the decision. The death, the pain and mailce brought down upon the unworthy creatures of England. They all deserved to burn in an evergrowing pit of flame. This was his thoughts, and still are. Being the law passer in England he is very important, meaning he can make lupols for the poor in exchange for alot of money, the poor don't have that much, but they have enough to please. And that's where his manipulation tactics come down, along wth black-mail and threats. These threats always use the poor and bring them even further into debt, once purged of all money they have they're sent to the exceution where Icarus laughs, at his own wealth and at their own stupidness. Help them, that would be a first. [B]Biography[/B]: Life wasn't too great when Icarus was a young kid, he got bullied at school, and kids used to pick on him all the time, for his parents were slipping into poverty. He couldn't afford the best type of shoes, barely afford the worst aswell, he had to wear the same clothes for weeks at a time. So as children do, they started the ridicule. Beating him down, forcing his blood, and mentally traumatising him until breaking point. But on his sixteenth birthday his parents' with there last pound entered the lottery draw, that or taken away by tax. And when displayed in the town centre, the 6 lottery numbers, they all squealed with relief, they would be rich, have the money to get the best, have the money to buy luxuries, have enough money for the rest of their lives. Well, that's what the parents' thought. Icarus now eighteen, had thought of a master plan, his parents weren't putting it into a building society, they would be able to live of the interest but no, they wanted to live of the money. So Icarus got up at the early hours, and seen the massive box full of money. They cashed that cheque so fast when they got it. He left around £10, 000 to do them a few years. And took off into the night, on his way to the King, to find some job with him and the law of the county. He arrived at the Kings court, he knew they had an excellent law school, and anyone could get in it if the price is right. Boding theguards to let him in, they finally gave in to the flashing notes of the kings face. He slipped through the door, ready to become a much newer man. And as he was becoming this much newer man, he put the money into a building society. Claiming the interest, which was very high indeed.[/size][/center] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blayze Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Name: Zack H. Carter Nickname: "Bladebow" or simply "Lucky" Age: 21 Side: Mercenary for hire Weapons/Items: A military longbow, with a scope and a quick reloader, with blades on either end, which he uses as close-combat weapons. He also uses a laser sword. Talents: An extremly talented combatant, who uses his skills to earn money for himself. He can fight multiple opponents in enclosed spaces, always managing to escape only with minor injuries. He is the only person who has mastered the bladebow martial art, which he helped to invent, and is also an extremely skilled swordfighter. He is an expert marksman with his bow as well. Unfortunately he is not the strongest or fastest person ever, but he is very agile and acrobatic. Description: Edit: I didn't like the old picture, so here's a new one: Personality: Zack is a cold-blooded mercenary who cares nothing for no-one but himself. He will do any job for the right price, and he works for himself and only himself. He is cold and will kill or seriously injure anyone who even looks at him cock-eyed. He is the best at what he does and he knows it. He has been hired by the Sheriff many times, as he always gets the job done, apart from when it comes to Robin Hood. He hates Robin Hood with a vengeance, and will take any job which may mean him killing Hood. Biography: Zack was born into poverty, and his parents were executed by order of the Sheriff. Far from ruining his life, this turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to Zack. He was taken in by a rich man, who looked after him and cared for him like he was his own son. He taught him how to defend himself, and together they created the martial art of the bladebow. Zack soon mastered his own martial art, and used it to great effect, keeping bullies at bay. But one day, he found out his foster father was a drug baron, who laundered money on the side. He was disgusted to discover that the man he looked up to the most was in fact everything he had ever hated. This incident made him deeply synical, and he developed a black sense of humour to deal with this. He ran away, and started living on the streets, living off what he could scavenge. Then he began to put his talents as a fighter to use, and became a small-time mercenary, taking small jobs involving break-ins and stoppin gang warfare. He slowly worked his way up, until he was the number-one mercenary in the country. He could get any job he wanted, and had gained great riches from it. He succeeded in every job. Until Robin Hood came along that is. Since their first encounter four years ago, Hood has stopped every job Zack has taken. Everywhere Zack takes a job, Hood is there to stop him. Now he has developed a deep-seated hatred for Hood, and will take any job which might end in him killing Hood. He trains harder every day, just so he can kill Robin Hood. This is now his dream. And because of this, he takes a lot of work from the Sheriff, who pays him great amounts of money to work, and gives him immunity from most aspects of the law. Hope this is alright, PM me if its not and I will change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revelation Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 [center][size=1][color=#696969]18 years ago, my father exiled my mother onto the streets, for his own needs or no apparent reason, either way she was out of my life. Within her stomach was a baby brother, whom I will never know, whom I shall never see born into this world. Perhaps it is for the better of his future. He may not have to see the evil deeds that my father does or see the things that he will do to get what he wants or to help Sebastian get what he wants. Perhaps it is, perhaps it is for the better. My baby brother will not have to see the monster that my father has become or see the demon who lives within him. "That he's mad, 'tis true, 'tis true 'tis pity, and pity 'tis 'tis true." [i](Hamtlet)[/i] I am the daughter of Johnathan Garrett, Sebastian's best friend. My father, as well as Sebastian, is a man who has no morals and values, a man who only wants wealth and power for himself and cares not for the people he takes it from. He's a man who takes after his best friend, Sebastian Tiberius. They, both, are cruel and evil men who wish that only the rich live and the poor die. They only want those who are loyal to him and only him, not to anyone else. They want to be worshipped and adored, as if they were gods, yet they cannot see the pain and torment they cause to the people. Are kings not supposed to give than to receive? Is it not better to do that then just take and take without integrity and honesty? I am ashamed to call myself a Garrett for there are greater matters in this world than just money and power and rank. Is there no one who shall save us from this ordeal? No one who shall save us from these tyrants who call themselves men? If there is no one to save us, then it shall be someone to protect and I shall help those who need it. My name is [B]Daniella Garrett[/B], I am [B]23 years old[/B], and my father kicked out my unborn baby brother and my mother from our home. I do not know where they are, I do not know what they are doing, yet I constantly think about them and wonder how they are and how much my baby brother has grown. If there was anything in this world that I would have, it would be to bring them back into my life. Yet, I know that that is not a choice that is available to me, for my father believes that my mother and brother are either dead or in jail. He believes that they are out of his life, but I know, deep in my heart, that at least my brother is alive and well. Just because my father wants me to be heir to his throne and follow his footsteps, does not mean that I can have my own mind, my own morals and values, my own life. He wishes for me to marry this pompous, arrogant man who goes by the name of Icarus Dickinson. He is referred to as the "Sheriff" by the poor, which I find quite hilarious and humorous, not to mention adorable. People look to me and think of me as Lady Daniella Garrett, not as normal Daniella. It angers me when I see people whispering and gossiping, saying things that I know are not true, yet I cannot do anything for I am "above them", as my father says. But what does he know? I haven't even spoken to him in years, I hated him from the day my mother left, I hated him from the moment I gave part of that necklace to my mother so she could give it to my brother. I hate him, I hate the king, and I loathe Icarus. They all see one side of the tracks, the rich and famous side and not the true side. I wish I could find my brother, I wonder how he is and what he's doing at this moment. I miss him so much. * * * My father loves to keep weapons in our house, even when I was a little girl. He adored them with all of his heart and soul, which left me at 3rd place of his loves, money and power being the first. Yet, his love for weapons gave me incentive to ask my father if I could take part in martial arts, fencing, and the like. He, at first, dismissed the idea of his daughter in this kind of "sport", but knew that I would hold a grudge against him if he did so, and now, I possess abilities that no other royal women have. To gain these abilities, I took part in martial arts, mostly ninjitsu, kendo, archery, fencing, and rifling. The talents that came of these sports were natural and it took time to control, but soon I became agile, limber, strong, stealthy, and whispy. I was like a shadow in the darkness, no one noticing me when I arrived or when I left. It was as if I was a ghost, phasing in and out of walls, floating above the people, sifting through the ground. It was an excellent feeling. Along with these talents, I had to keep with me weapons. In the large house that I live in, my father keeps one room only to himself and his guests. He calls this room, the trophy grounds. I do not know why, for it is such a tacky name to keep to a room, alas, in his weapon room, he has allowed me to take any weapon I wished to have, but not the ones that were in glass cases or in boxes. I agreed and chose those that appealed to me. The first that caught my eye were the [B][url=http://www.firewhip.com/product-back-minisword.jpg]egyptians daggers[/url], [URL=http://www.jnanam.net/shastra/katar/m-katar04.jpg]Middle-Eastern Katars[/URL], [URL=http://www.cbswords.com/images/tiger_shark2.jpg]tiger shark dagger[/URL][/B] that gives a bolt of electricity when energized, and my father's prized [B][URL=http://www.cbswords.com/images/samurai3000ninja.jpg]double-edged plasma sword[/URL][/B] that cuts through nearly any solid object. These are the things that I took from my father's weapon room, but I also had weapons given to me by the teacher who taught me these different things. Given to me were [B][URL=http://www.santharia.com/pictures/bard_judith/bard_judith_pics/armoured_fan.gif]twin dual fans[/URL][/B], a [B]wrist cross bow[/B] that shoots just as well as a regular cross bow, possibly even better, [B]several kanzashi pins[/B], and [B]gloves[/B] that do more than give my hands warmth. I'm not sure what the gloves were for, but they proved to be of worth to me. Of all these things that I keep, not one of the them comes close to the object I hold dear to my heart. If I were to lose this object, I would be distressed and in sorrow for years. It is the only thing that keeps me hoping and praying that I could see my family again. This object, which is not a weapon, is a necklace which I only have half of. This necklace was half of a moon and half of a sun, the moon went with my mother to give to my brother, and the sun is with me, around my neck at all times, never to leave that place. * * * There has been rumors of an outlaw who steals from the rich to give to the poor. I admire that and if the only way to meet this man is to be poor, then poor is what I shall do. I'll have to give myself a new name as well as give myself a new look, to fool those who see me. Reading the Robin Hood Legends should give me new insight and how I should be, as well as what name I should possess. And help it has been, for the name I choose is [B]Dani Scarlett[/B]. Scarlett is the last name of Will Scarlett, Robin's nephew who fought Robin in the forest when he came searching for his uncle Robin. Also, I'll have to choose an alias so that not all know me as Dani Scarlett. It seems that the women of the royalty have been calling me the Phantom Angel, then I shall call myself the [B]Phantom[/B]. The rich shall take form into that of the poor and seek this Robin fellow, wanting to know who he is and how his mind works. It will also give me time to get away from my father, his marriage plans, and his future plans for myself. * * * My name is Daniella Garrett, I am 23 years old, and at this moment, I no longer fit in this lifestyle of riches and wealth. I am now Dani Scarlett, the Phantom, someone who seeks her brother, wishing to turn this dreaded kingdom into something of worth.

Vicky Posted December 21, 2004 Author Share Posted December 21, 2004 [SIZE=1][B]I'd like everyone to finish their sign-up's (those who haven't, I mean) as this will be started tomorrow, possibly in the morning it depends what kind of mood I'm in. Sign-up's will be closed a day after the RPG has started but I'd really like all the sign-up's finish now, also those who want to join the RPG should hurry up (if you PM me and ask nicely I may keep the sign-up's open for awhile longer but I won't stay anything I can't keep).
