Welcome to Gaia! ::

This is a roleplay that my friend and I started on a piece of paper. In my next post I'll write everything that's happened so far.

Setting: (As of now) A mid afternoon in a medieval village in an unknown world filled with magic and mystery. The village is surrounded by a grassland that gives way to desert to the north, and forest to the south. The east and west sides are famous lakes known as the 'Magical Twin Lakes' to the villagers.

brown trench coat, baggy jeans, and a touque. She carries a
staff that comes to a point on the bottom, and has a blunt
cat head-shaped sphere on the top.

meddles into other people's problems. She is an avenger.

he could fend for himself. Everything began when he got
frustrated with his life, and ran away from his foster home.
He ran to the mountains behind his burnt down house. After
a long day of running, he fell asleep, and awoke to Wilf,
who told him to join him in his quest for destruction. He
promised to give Calico awesome powers to help him
destroy the world! Calico accepted, thinking he could
avenge his parents' deaths. Later, Calico realized what Wilf
was asking of him , and he vanished again, vowing only to
return to Wilf to kill him, and prevent the destruction of the
world.

Personality: Outgoing, sensitive, joyful, athletic, good sense

Bio: Sam has been locked in this medieval village for six
years. How this happened, she doesn't know.......
Through-out those six years, Sam worked as a Blacksmith.
After hard days of work she would have practice sword fights
with her friend Jason. She got so well, and strong at it that,
her friend got weaker at it. He made a miss play and she
killed him. After that horrifying day, she fled from the city.

Avarie barely dodged Calico as he charged. She could sense at least two or three Nightmares in the area, now. The shadow in her mind, caused by the Nightmares, grew until she couldn't concentrate on her surroundings. Blindly, she fled into the village.

Opargo flapped his velvet wings to stay upright as the wind tore around him. His small, frail body was overwhelmed by the sudden gust and the Nightmares. Using is antennae to track down Avarie, he flew.

Calico lifted off the ground to a float. He used his magic to knock out Wilf. He flew through the sky to Avarie, dropped down, and ran to her.

Avarie was startled by the boy running towards her. Still blind because of the Nightmares, and panic-struck because of the use of magic, she ran.

Opargo happily slipped into a jet stream, relaxing his frantic flapping to an at-ease flight. He sighed, forgetting about the Nightmares momentarily. He floated into the folds of Avarie's jacket and fell asleep, ignoring the panic pulsing through her skin.

Calico teleported in front of Avarie. He yelled, "Stop! I'm here to help you, Avarie! That old man that tried to attack you, his name is Wilf. He has come to destroy you, and everybody in this world!"

Avarie bowled into Calico, and recovered quickly. She scanned the busy streets for a second, then pulled him into an abonded warehouse. "What?!" She hissed. "Why?!"

Opargo still sleeps.

"Why?? What kind of question is that?? That man is trying to destroy this world and everything on it, and you're asking Why!!!"

Avarie stretched to her full height. "Yes, I'm asking 'why'." She simply said.

Opargo's antennae quivered and he awoke. Annoyance was pulsing from both humans. The girl's annoyance was milder, though, tired. This made him curious.

"Wilf is trying to get you because you took something of his. You have a very powerful magic orb buried in your soul. He has to kill you to get it!" Calico raged. He added more calmly, "You are possessed with by a big power...Use it carefully."

Avarie was shocked by this accusation. "Obviously." She said lightly, dismissing the conversation airily. Whether this old man was trying to kill her or not, she was going to stay in this world as long as she had to. Without another word she moved towards the back door.

Opargo dropped off of Avarie's jacke and landed on her touque, finally getting a good look at her. Annoyance pullsed around the small room, intimidating him.

((And that's it! The story so far!))

Avarie stiffened. "How does this kid even know my name..." She grumbled under her breath. She heard the newcomer enter, and started to turn around to see who it was.

Opargo flitted from Avarie's hat to her hair that hung just over her ear. Maybe I ought to answer her... He thought. "Mistress, I am not so sure how he could know your name. Have you met him before?" He said in his quiet, moth voice.

Avarie stiffened. "Who said that?" She hissed.

"I did." Opargo said calmly. He flew and landed on Avarie's nose.

Avarie stiffened a little, but didn't show any other signs of emotions towards the moth talking to her. She simply blinked, acknowledged Sam with a nod, then walked to the door.
"My name is Opargo." Opargo continued. "And your's is...Avarie, I believe?"

Avarie felt herself become weightless. She heard Calico's cry, and new immediately that he was responsible. She snarled silently as she felt anger rise inside of her. "Why not?" She said coldly. "I have a job to do, and you're keeping me from it..."
Opargo fluttered his wings nervously.

What kind of ignorant rat IS this? Avarie sighed inwardly. "Look, boy, why don't you stop this Wilf character yourself? It's your world, it's your problem." She cleared her throat. "Now put me down." She finished flatly.
Opargo twitched his antenae in confusion. Was this girl suggesting that she is from another world?
