    Yes, let's re-post our characters to the RPG. Also, it may take a bit of time for the post to be approved Earphone. Mine took about two days.

    I'll write a part for Qarkar soon. You all can write, unless you're waiting for someone to put up their character.

    On a plane filled with Motherf**king Snakes.
    Name: Yossel Pickerton
    Race: Gnome
    Age: 22 Gnomish years
    Sex: male

    Appearance:
    At 2"2 he stands at an average height for a Gnome, perhaps a few inches taller than most. he is a little chubby around the belly but not excessively so.
    With pale skin like his mother, his face is covered a sparse black hair that more closely resembles a unruly beard and thick eyebrows than a Gnomish coat. He has large hazel eyes like his father, and in one furry ear is a stud earring with a blue stone set in silver. The other ear is partly missing


    Aura: pale blue

    Clothing/Equipment:
    Yossel has much love for clothing! he wears many layers - up to six at any one time. at the moment he wore a mixture of hand sewn shirts, around his neck hung the thin end of a shortened human tie that hung to his knees. A goat wool V-neck vest over that and then a rabbit skin jacket which was perfectly cut to hang an inch from the ground was worn over the whole lot. His blue pants were tattered at the ankles as they were too long for him and another yellow pair could be seen Through its hoes.
    On all these clothes Yossel has sewn many extra pockets and added pouches to his many belts so to keep the amazing things he finds on his journeys. He is constantly rationalising which object is better and which has to be dropped, and they are usually always full.
    Yossel like all Gnomes are sensitive to sunlight but instead of the cap traditionally worn, he prefers his small straw hat which had taken a beating over the last few years and was starting to fray. The hat was held on by a string that ran under his chin.

    Short Bio: Yossel was born into the Eastern mines on the mid level and grew up working with his father and 8 brothers shifting land with their power. Always more inquisitive than other Gnomes, yossel was constantly getting scolded for not paying attention as he studied some root or stone. on his 18th birthday he set out to see the world and was amazed at what was outside the tunnels. He return from this adventure to find the mines decimated by the plague. Many of his brothers and cousins had died slowly and painfully. the tunnels allowed the plague to spread quickly as all the gnomes were taken to living in close quarters.
    he left the tunnels for the big world.
    For almost a full year Yossel travelled with an old hermit who taught the young Gnome how to cook, the good and bad herbs, poisons and antidotes. and when the man could or would teach him no more, Yossel decided to leave. He learns very quickly and his thirst for knowledge of this big world is insatiable.

    Personality:
    Although Yossel is of a mature age for a Gnome, he is constantly looking for new and exciting things to add to his pockets. many are filled with herbs as like all Gnomes, he loves food. generally easy going and happy, yossel will trudge along the road for days without complaint. content with admiring the things around him. he does however want to do all he can to help cure the awful disease that destroyed his home and his family. He generally tries to avoid the subject of his family, and more specifically his father.

    Miscellaneous info:
    fantastic at cooking and scrounging for food.
    does not fight. he buries him self like a good Gnome is taught to do.
    horses are unnaturally tall animals and should not be ridden.
    when bored creates sculptures from earth with his power.

    Urgh, sorry, I'll have to drop out. I'll be out of the country until the 20th, where I won't have much internet access - not enough to keep up with a roleplay, anyway. Hope you guys have fun with it, though. If I can, I'll be lurking around a bit, because your characters all seem really rad.

    I knew the trip was coming, but I thought I'd have some form of internet access. I also had no idea that it would take so long to get the actual thread started, so I thought I could at least get my characters introduced before I had to scram.

    If you'd like, my characters can be like NPCs. Or someone else can "claim" them.
    Sorry for causing so much trouble :C

    If you have time before you leave, you could establish your characters, then place them in another's hands until you return. The story hasn't hit off yet, so you'd probably have time, if you still wanted to play.

    If you are positive on quitting, you can do so, just edit out your character sheet on the main thread.

    Give it some thought.

    I think we're waiting for everyone to make their first post (non-character sheet) and have their character enter the courtyard.

    It's fine, and I'm really sorry for being snappy; but you were supposed to PM me your character sheet prior to posting it.

    If you PM me for editing, I can fit you in before things get going if you'd still like to join.
