O-Ushi Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 [COLOR=DarkSlateGray][SIZE=1][CENTER]Indeed, kin, it was a day to remember. Great beasts of cold metal glided effortlessly, clamorously over the waves, through the mists that permamently enshourd our isle. their noise was that of a thousand beasts stampeding, and we could spy dozens of the unknown ones, the mon-keigh, clambouring around the beast's back. The homeguard, led by my cousin, stood firmly, both feet planted on the sodden sand as they aimed their weapons at the great creature. To their right, a huge Burden Beast lumbered into view, tthe great gun on it's back humming softly as the loaders slipped another round into it's chamber. Signalling the thumbs up, each of the Battle kindreds raised a shout, each squadron adding it's voice to the roll call, crying out their leader's name: Rikiul Saruul Jehudiel Gardiull The chorus continued for half a minute, unabted, before suddenly cutting out in unison. A deadly silence hung over the beach as a group approached on a small boat, squat and completely different from our sleek skiffs. It landed on the beach and the retinue stepped off, a creature not unlike us, followed by a furred being a good head and shoulders taller than us and a squat lizard-eqsue being. As they approached my cousing stepped forwards, his wings seathing themselves and tucking neatly behind his back. The foreign creatures, as one, spread their arms wide and bowed deeply, an obvious sign of none agression. My cousin paused for a moment and brought his arm-mounted weapon across his chest, and placed his left hand upon the blade, symbolising the he would sooner cut himself than them. It was at this that the creature not unlike us spoke, in words we could not understand at the time, but we are assured were symbolic and perfectly poignant to their people. "We come in peace."[/CENTER] [CENTER] Unity Highschool, the original inter-species school in the Albion states, starts it day in the usual fashion...at least, in essence it does. Five years ago, a race of people were discovered in the region of the Cathyan republic, a race of long-lived humanoids that have remained unmolested by the humans or any of the other races of the world. They have developed a totally different culture than any other race in the world. After their discovery, all the nations and races of the world were eager to have them join the global community to contribute their neutral wisdom and technologcal knowledge to better the cause of friendship and unity. Today is a historic day, a landmark in history, as the first students of the new race, the Shadar-kin are attending their first day at Unity high. This is the story of the highs, lows, romances and conflicts the students of Unity High will experience after this historic milestone.[/CENTER] [B]Basic information[/B] The year is 3004 ACE (After Common Era, equivalent to our 2004) This is a world not unlike our earth, except for the fact that while there is only one dominant species in our world, there are three in this one. These three races are the Tekkaks, a squat race of lizard-like people, the Linas, a fox-like race of survivors, and the humans, masters of steel and fire. They drive cars, go to work and share our schools. And therin lies the problem. A new, myterious race has been discovered in the far east, on an island thought to be uninhabited they have forged a life that mirrors the technological advances of our own. They are the Shadar-kin. For the past 5 years there have been numerous talks with them from all the major governments of counties and peoples, and their island (known as Dalashmi) has been under protect by the combined might of the Tribune of Peoples. They have finally reliquished and have expressed eagerness to ingle witht he people of the world. they have sent a handful of families to various regions of the planet, and are currently in talks on how to effectively open channels of communication with the world. The children of thse families are now attending their first days at the schools in their new homes, having spent the past 3 years stufying the Middletongue, or common language. Most notable are the two students attending Unity High, the first school that allowed students of all species to join. inter-species relationships are allowed (and, in some areas, even encouraged) and, while fruitless, lead to some interesting stories.

Basically, it's an open one-post RP, depicting some scenario of your choice involing your character. This is so you can get a feel for your character, and so I can get a look at your RPing style. [B]Notes[/B]: Anything else you deem neccessary for us to know (fears, pet peeves, crushes etc.) [B]Name[/B]: Deeproots Saruul [B]Age[/B]: 17 [B]Race[/B]: Shadar-kin [B]Gender[/B]: Male [B]Description[/B]: Saruul is a typical Shadar-kin, with long, luxurious black hair, but with a slightly more square jaw than is typical of the race (his House normally refers to it as their "Warrior's chin"). He stands at 6'11", so is fairly average for his race, and his wings are an exceptionally dark green, and he normally keeps them neatly tucked behind his back. His elders (and, of course, the good Humans that organised him going to Unity High), have changed his traditional clothes style to something that is less...alien to the other students. The light, airy silk that is common with the Shadar-kin race (due to their hypersensitive skin) has been fashioned into a long T-shirt, with it's edge hanging nearly to his knees, light blue in colour, and his trousers are made of a strange material known as "denim," but with a lining of his familiar silk, so it does not chafe his legs. He wears a bone necklace that was given to him by his father the day he was born religously, not even taking it off to bathe. [B]Personality[/B]: Saruul is quiet and deeply philisopical, and is often seen as humorless in the eyes of those who do not know him. This is not true, and he does have a wicked (if somewhat sarcastic) sense of humor, but prefers to hold his tongue around strangers, and whatch them until he can be sure his comments will not go misinterpreted. His family is known for its legendary anger, and Saruul is no exception. Though it takes a while to get him riled up, he goes almost berserker when his buttons are pushed, and has been known to be exceptionally violent in those circumstances. He does not particularly care for the humans, and Linas tend to annoy him (he finds them too outgoing and overbearing), but he has taken a shining to the Tekkaks, seeing their prudence and paitence as refreshing.
