Whoa whoa whoa! I know it's been forever, but here we go we're going to get this going again! So please re-read the first 6 posts to clarify what's going on and how to do it! And invite friends to pop in and play, the more the merrier!!!

OK so I like increasing my vocabulary and using big words! I think it's fun and my friend likes to catch me with the phrase "$5 word" (started one evening playing poker). So I got the idea that I could make an rp somewhat similar to Tencinlanta's. You don't HAVE to do it, but bonus points if you do! There will be a contest involving the words.

How it works: Each week I put 4-5 words up. You will have to look up the definition on your own if you don't know it.
As you are rping you simply, in one of your posts, use the word. If you correctly use the week's word(s) in at least one of your posts you will get a point. I will probably do it in one month increments. But the person with the most points (from correctly using the word of the day in one of their posts) will win something. It may not be much but then again, this is only an incentive to you guys to earn a bit of extra and hopefully increase your vocab!
IMPORTANT: You MUST have a profile so that I can keep track of your points, so don't start posting until I've gotten your profile. Also in order for me to keep up on everyone's points I need you to PM a a copy of the post along with the page number it was on so that I can verify and add your points.
For now the contest will go through the end of October!
Ok now on to the rest of the business:

Setting!
Ok this is going to have a slight fantasy element to it, but it's not high fantasy.
Two races remained after centuries of war. Humans and elves along with the half-bred, kin to both and none. Small clans were scattered about all fighting for their own rights and trying to get ahead after the world has been ruined and sacked.

You're in a small village, one of the few where war hasn't decimated everything in it's path. Survivors on both sides can find refuge here. The village is steadily growing. Fights are prevailant as both races, human and elves bicker back and forth. In the town there is a bar, a small market square, no real government or laws, vigilates patrol the streets righting the wrongs and trying to keep the peace until order can be arranged.

exclaim exclaim exclaim exclaim exclaim exclaim exclaim
For the most part it's a sort of fantasy medival sort of feeling and look. There is some 'technology' in that there is running water, however there is not electricity. You may have mythical creatures, but there is VERY VeRY limited magic. If you intend to use magic, PM me with what you intend and I will let you know yay or nay. Dragons are allowed, but only in small or medium sizes. In other words no bigger than a large human male.

mrgreen mrgreen mrgreen mrgreen
Plot:
Whatever you want to start! Let your imagaination plop you into the story and we'll wing it! If you want a war we'll make a war, if you want some sort of (censored) romance, then we'll make it!!!

The rules: Yes we all have them.
**No god-modding (should be a given but some people can be dense so I'll make sure it's on here)
**I prefer a No Killing zone, but if BOTH parties agree (please do through PM and send a copy to me so I can verify incase there's a dispute later) then I will allow it
**Cursing is allowed but keep it slim
**Romance is allowed but keep it PG-15 so no one gets offended, if you want to continue the lovin in PM that's fine by me
**No bumping
**If I forgot to add a point onto your counter for your word, don't rape my PM Inbox, I will reply to them to let you know it has been added
**You only get one point per word use ((eventually i may do 3 words a day so you have more chances of getting words)), also IF you should use it more than once, just send the ONE BEST time to me, I don't need to see everytime you use the word
**No flaming each other
**No harrassment ((if someone says NO they mean NO))
**And Have fun!

Bio: Damian is a half-elf half-human. His mother and father were both rangers. Both had grown up in the woods away from the war. His mother was pure elf and possesed vast amounts of power before the magic in the world began to fail. Her family line can be traced through generations of druids so she derived her powers from the earth. Damian's father was a human ranger his father had been a cleric and his mother had worked as a scribe in the churches. Damian derives his magic from the earth. He was brought up in the woods and always had some sort of pet, though his favorites were falcons and foxes. He enjoys the woods compared to the cities, but of late the woods have become unsafe chasing him into the village to seek refuge.
Personality: Damian is very outgoing. Living in the woods he wasn't around people of either race very much, so he enjoys meeting them and learning about them. He likes to learn about what life is like for other. He finds it hard to comprehend that people live in houses and don't own animals. His constant companion is a fox named Abel.

Damain was at a small cart speaking with a short overweight peddler.
She was starting to get a bit flustered by him
He was smiling "Please ma'am won't you bring the price down just a bit more? I've only got but the two silvers."
"No siree I won't do none of that."
He was holding Abel in one arm gesturing with the other. It was mid afternoon and all he wanted was a snack. The apples on her cart weren't worth but a silver each, but times were hard and she was asking for 4. Far too much in his opinion.
He grumbled as he walked away empty handed, with the exception of Abel. He started to make his way through the various people milling about.

Anatsu walked through a town market listening to sellers spending their time haggling prices with customers. She shook her head as a seller tried to sell her some jewelery.

((lol I love the thing in your sig, I was watching it, waiting for an ending or somethng)) A small group of boys, elf and human alike, went charging through the crowd screaming and hollering in their game about an epic battle with a troll and ogres. One of them bumped into Damian and looked up gaping at his fox. "Is that yers mishter?"
He smiled down at the boy. "Yes he is." He knelt down "Would you like to pet him? his name is Abel." At this point the other boyshad lft their friend.
The boy reached out and timidly stroked Abel's back. "Wow.. he sure is soft!"
PostPosted: Wed Nov 29, 2006 2:29 pm


The boy realized his friends had left him and waved goodbye running off. "Bye mister. Bye Abel."
Damian stood laughing then scanned the crowds, his stomach protested since he hadn't eaten in sometime. He wasn't used to 'shopping'. Being a ranger he normally caught and gathered his own food. This living in town would take some getting used to.

((its terribly boring to rp with myself so Please join!))
He continued strolling through the people getting jostled this way or that. He pulled out his money pouch and looked into it. Five silvers was all he had... he needed food and a place to stay, and five silvers weren't going to get him that. He sighed looking to Abel who looked up at him wearily. "I know boy... I'm sorry"

Alaine was kneeling in the town's small church, saying a prayer.
Her sword was buckled to her side with a leather strap. The sheath was ivory white with a red gothic cross painted on the side.
"Oh God, please forgive us sinful children...please let there be peace in this world forever."
She stood up, opening her eyes. Soft beams of colored light poured through the stained glass windows.
How much longer must I haggle with God for peace? She wondered, preparing to leave the church.

He strapped the pouch back to his belt with a sigh looking around as his stomach let out another angry growl. Able was getting restless so Damian set him on the ground. "Just watch that you don't get stepped on" He started to walk on once again, he considered seeking shelter for the night in the church so headed down the street. The streets were clearing as the sun started to go down. Maybe they have a soup ktchen, it's worth a try.

"Perhaps I should head home now..." She whispered to herself. The church was empty. A silent breeze jostled the trees outside. She looked through a non stained glass window and noticed ominous clouds in the sky overhead.
Looks as if it will rain tonight...and I still must run a few errands before I head home. She checked her wind up pocket watch. Seventeen hundred hours...

He took a deep breath. mmm it's going to rain definately. I like the rain, but I can't stay out in it tonight... he turned and headed up the street, the church faced him at the other end. He sighed, churches were never his favorite, but he had nowhere else... Abel followed on his heals.
