Rybrin's second example:
We all love paragraph roleplayers, since they contribute so much to the story, like Shadow of Fire, Mr. M, and Envy-Palmtree have done. So if anyone does indeed love Fullmetal Alchemist rping, then I welcome you, if not challenge you to post like....:
Adenine looked up to the sky, the sun nearly having gone down, and knew her sister would have her go someplace safe soon, since neither of them could navigate in the dark very well. Starting down an alleyway, Ty not too far in front of her, she still struggled to keep up, Ty oh so fast and with her bag she was so much slower. In fact, her entire life had always been catching up to Ty, and her elder sister thought it was best to just keeping going instead of waiting, making Adenine stronger. While it did make her more determined to become better, she took great emotional pain from such incidents, still not always understanding why her clever, intelligent sister did the things she did. Loosing ground on her sister again, she stopped short in her tracks, looking down a darker alleyway, for something had caught her aquamarine eyes. There was a taller man sitting on the ground, his head bent down and his breathing audible from where she was. Walking down the stone pavement softly, her heavy bag dropping from her shoulder, she spoke up, coming closer.
"Um...Sir? Excuse me, but are you alright? You look like you need a doctor...do you want help?"
She got closer and close, her silken white, wavy hair falling over her shoulders as she only had to lean over a little. Her eyes widened, seeing he had white hair like her too, but he really did not look well, so she started reaching for him. One would think no one would have to be in an alleyway when it could start raining anytime in such a large city. His skin was much darker then hers as well she noted, reaching out to find her very pale skin was in sharp contrast with his own as she reached. She hoped he was going to be alright, but for some reason a few of the nerves in her wings were stinging, like this was an alchemist, but, no alchemist would be in a place like this willingly, would they?
Adenine made the tiniest sound of dismay as her hand was brushed away firmly by a very big hand, the man seemingly towering over her. He felt so strong, yet it was obvious he was hurt. His words were not harsh at least, as she sighed in relief softly, having expected a reprimand, but she looked up to the sky too as he did, wondering what he was looking at, but always loving the beauty of the night sky. In the dark, she stood out horribly, a light spot in the dark, and probably in mist she would look like a ghost. At his question though her hands quickly moved to a small silver pocket watch that hung on a chain around her neck, clicking the snap lock on it open an squinting slightly to see. Replying quickly, she closed her watch again.
"It's 7:42 right now, does that help any?"
She looked back up to find him staring at her, a little overpowered by his gaze even if she could not see his eyes, rather dark glasses hiding them. With as little light as there was, she wondered if he was blind.
Worried again as she saw a rather deep looking scar on his face, a sharp rise of compassion arose in her, since she hated it when people were hurt, although a motion he had been doing so automatically she had not caught it at first, she noted he was holding his right hand like it hurt too. Wincing at the cracking sound, since extensive study of body functions with her sister had taught her that readjusting bones against cartilage like that caused bone weakening at a younger age, she stared in the direction he was, naturally curious. Piping up again, her voice still quite light, she knew she had lost her sister temporarily, but she still had concern for a person who acted like they were sick.
" Are you sure I am unable to help? If you don't like to be touched I could still try to lessen whatever discomfort you are feeling..."
She put her hands together, already searching around for the alchemy that would let her find out what was hurting this man, although she had a feeling it was head trauma by how he had been holding his head when she first saw him. Her sister had taught her most about human alchemy, so she was rather good at healing, not so good at fighting though when her sister was not around.
or maybe.....:
Adenine neared the boy with the red coat as he was ordering around other people older then him, two of them feeling like alchemists as the nerves in her wings tingled, but the other two just military of the State probably. Running up, she quickly stopped, pausing for a moment to breathe as he spoke. Her sister had always told her she was a very sick little girl, one that could not get well easily, and that was part of why so many years ago her wings had been applied, like life-support for a failing body. She nodded quickly as the boy confirmed what she had just said, and she looked the way he did, squinting her aquamarine eyes slightly. Over many other buildings, there looked like white tops of buildings, maybe a walk of ten minutes away, not including the time it took to get through the crowd and around a few of the buildings in the way, her estimate as the falcon flies, getting a unique way of measuring distance from her sister. Nodding quickly as he pointed it out, because she actually was bubble-headed enough to have missed that originally, also out of the worry for her sister, her gaze came back to the boy.
Smiling as the boy in the red coat smiled, she was actually happy to have other people around, smiling to the four supposed "guard dogs" and bowing softly, her long, wavy white hair falling over her shoulders like cascading water, she herself looking abnormally frail in her loose white dress with white streamers around it, as well as the big, thick gray leather glove that came all the way up to her shoulder on her left arm.
"Thank you very much Sir! I really appreciate this!"
Her voice was as soft and light as it always was, a child's voice, the way she spoke suggested she was from the northern mountains with the slightly graceful, slurred accent. Listening to his name, she still smiled, having read about him under his State name in a few recent history books that were available in her small town. She really did not know much, but he supposedly had helped calm some rather dangerous situations and was renowned to be a good alchemist for any age. She had imagined him to be older, but being the trusting person she was, she never doubted what people said.
At getting asked her name, she looked a little surprised she had forgotten her manners in the rush of this, still having trouble adjusting to the big city as it was. Gesturing to herself, she smiled as brightly as the sun as normal, a people person at heart, not even thinking of the possible consequences of her words.
"Oh! I am sorry, I must have forgotten myself. I'm Adenine Marintill from the Frostforn region. I don't mean to be a burden, but I lost my escort Ty last night and I know she will be waiting at the State's headquarters for me, so I have to get back...even if they have delayed the exams for a few days..."
She was still disappointed about not being able to take the State Alchemist exams immediately, but she got over little things like that, all over her words coming out as they walked towards the white buildings further on. One person, a girl in the group, caught her attention though, getting a distinct hurt feeling from the person, a bit worried but not commenting on it, her pale face still with the soft smile characteristic to her, keeping pace with Edward to stay at his side.
...this...
