Story/Intro...

You're all familiar with the basic story of Robin Hood. Robin returns to his fief from the Holly War to find his people starving and an evil sheriff ruling in his place. Robin acts rashly and becomes an outlaw after saving his people from their execution. He retreats to the woods where he meets a band of outlaws. After being accepted by their leader he strikes against the sheriff by robbing tax collectors and returning the money to the people.


This rp is different from the original and traditional story. It takes place in the same time period and in the real world. There are other races, but magic is limited to element-based and is only on weapons. These are rare though and are hard to come by if you're poor or live in a small village.

Races...

There are only the races listed below in this world.

Humans: No special abilities. They live to be 1 century and are ok with weapons.

Elves: They are smaller than humans and much quicker. They live to be 3 centuries and are nimble and have good balance. They are generally good with weapons because they can train longer because they have loner lives. They have keen hearing.

Werecats/Werewolves: These are the only werecreatures. They can only change their forms to their hybrid, which is only the ears and tail of their animal. They live to be 2 centuries. They are fairly skilled with weapons and have a speed between a human and and elf. They are half as nimble/quick/well-balanced as an elf. Their sense of smell is better than that of an elf and their hearing is as good as an elf's.

Half-Breeds:

TAB TAB TABHalf-Elf(Human/Elf): They are comman. THey live to be 2 centuries and have the abilities of elves but only at half-strength.

TAB TAB TABHalf-Were(Human/Were): They are slightly rarer than half-elves. They live 1.5 centuries and have the abilities of werecreatures at half-strength. ABout half can shapeshift, but it depends on the individual and on luck.

TAB TAB TABElven-Were(Elf/Were): These are rare. They live about 3.5 centuries and have all the abilities of elves and werecreatures. They do not add the skills together, an elven-were's hearing is just as good as an elf's or a were's.


Ages...
Ok. Since other races measure time differently, this is sorta a basic key.
Human: 1 yr= 1 age yr
Elf: 5 yrs= 1 age yr
Were: 5 yr= 2 age yr
Half-elf: 3 yr= 1 age yr
Half-Were: 2 yr= 1 age yr
Elven-Were: 13 yr=2 age yr

Ok. If an elf was 20 yrs old, she would be (20/5=4) 4 years old by elven standards.
If a were is 20 yrs old by were standards, he would be(20x2=40) 40 years old.

Story Now(as in, what has happened/isn't in the rp)...

Robin has returned from the Holy War, with a prisoner of war in his service. The boy would have been killed otherwise and is indebted to Robin because of it.

Already, Robin has freed two boys from the noose and escaped with his servant into the forest. His servant though, is female, but that is unknown to him as of now. Kari acts and dresses as a man and can fight as well as one. More about that is explained in her profile.

The forest is said to be haunted, though it is only the thieves "haunting" it. Robin hid there with Kari and they are to be found by Aki, an old acquaintance and the leader of the thieves, and her followers when the rp starts.

Accepted Profiles...

There are two premades, Robin and Kari. I need those filled asap. If you want to play the Sheriff, you should be a second character as well because he's not a main character. Well, he is, but he won't be in the rp as much as others will.

Quote:
username: thymeast22
Name: Aki
Gender: Female
Race: Elf
Age: 135(looks 27, is by elven standards)
Weapons: Fire Longsword- Can control/Manipulate/Create Fire. Longbow, daggers, second (normal)longsword.
Personality: She used any way possible to get what she wants. She's somewhat hyperactive at times, though generally cold and distant to most people. She often teases people, not meaning anything harmful by it, and is a natural leader.
Appearance: Aki, but she has more of a figure and more curves.
Relation to Robin and/or Aki: She knew Robin before he left for the war and was, in this order, his: Rival, friend, enemy, lover, most-hated-person. He left before anything else happened.
Abilities: She can fight with any weapon and unarmed. She can use the firemagic from her sword. She has the skills and talents any thief would as well of that of a courtesan/belly dancer.
Reason Outlawed: She refused the sheriff and he framed her of stealing. She actually hadn't stolen it, making is somewhat ironic that she got caught for something she didn't steal when she's a thief.
Bio: She grew up around Robin and somehow became a maid for the sheriff when Robin left. She turned down the sheriff's advances and was framed before being sentenced to be hanged. She escaped the cells and fled to the forest where she's "haunted" it with the others who have sought refuge there.

Xindaris
username: Xindaris
Name: “Captain” Izen
Gender: Male
Race: Werewolf
Age: 54 (27 in appearance)
Weapons: He carries a thin, sharp cutlass, his usual weapon, on a sheath to his right side (he’s left-handed). He claims it’s enchanted not to break, but that’s questionable.
Personality: He insists on being called “Captain” at the front of his name every once in awhile, partially as a joke for he has no crew at the moment. He’s almost hyperactive and constantly cheerful, and due to this he can be either charismatic or annoying depending on who is looking. He’s also very good at constantly picking at an opponent until they become so frustrated that they strike in blind rage. He appears to have absolutely no attraction to the opposite sex, because some of his crew happened to be female and he didn’t allow anyone more persuasion than anyone else in order to prevent mutiny.
A good leader in a way but capable of yielding to someone else’s leading if it lines up with his goals. He might be considered dangerously smart. He’s trustworthy enough, in most matters at least, by the outlaws and for the time being.
He is also scornful of the idea of giving money that he himself stole to anyone else; after all, he stole it fair and square right?
Appearance: He usually remains in his hybrid form, as it provides better balance and senses and he sees no reason to leave it. He wears a leather vest and tanned pants (with appropriate hole in the back) that appear quite sea-worn yet also protect him quite well due to an enchantment, and has a small purse that actually holds a lot more than it looks, sort of like a limited “bag of holding”. He is built somewhat thin and extremely agile, and usually has one of a few worn bandanas on the part of his head above the ears, which in emergency he’ll use as a bandage. He has a neither light nor dark brown shade of fur and hair, and his eyes are the same blue as the sea. He is strong, but it’s more of a hidden and agile strength unless he really needs it.
Relation to Robin and/or Aki: Offers his allegiance within a limited time to Robin, mostly so he can get back at them for taking roughly half of his carried money at his capture.
Abilities: His entire form of fighting is focused on confusing and knocking over opponents.
As said above, he has a cutlass and is left-handed, the combination of which serves to confuse almost every first-time opponent he has. He is ridiculously good at keeping himself balanced (in a literal, physical sense) and his style of fighting usually focuses on making the opponent unbalanced rather than trying to injure before that, although if someone frustrates or makes him mad enough he might strike at their heart or head instead. Although on land, he still maintains many tactics and tricks from the sea, and finds unusual ways to actually make use of them.
Reason Outlawed: Offers his allegiance within a limited time to Robin, mostly so he can get back at them for taking roughly half of his carried money at his capture.
Bio: He came to the town after a few days’ walking from a shipwreck, his crew having been lost elsewhere somehow. He was persecuted for entering the town without permission, even though he could have been for far worse than that had they known anything about him.


Rykae
Username: Rykae
Name: Pandora
Gender: Female
Race: Werecat
Age: 10 1/2
Weapons: 2 small daggers, hidden on her belt. A bow, and arrows on her back.
Personality: Outgoing, Sarcastic, and a Leader. Surprisingly, very friendly.
Appearance: X
Relation to Robin and/or Aki: She dissapeared from the public as a young girl, and wandered about and found Robin. She joined his band and has been with him ever since. Robin is like an older brother to Pandora.
Abilities: She is very skilled with many weapons, and her arrows have an unlimited supply. The arrows have a fire magic in them.
Reason Outlawed: *pokes relation*
Bio: When Pandora was a younf girl, about 3, her parents had perished in a fire. Or so she thought. They had actually joined a band of theives, searching for her when she dissapeared. She found Robin, who acted as an older brother to her. She is forever in his dept for taking her in, and she travels about with him.

((fixed it all. I'll play the other two for know until we get someone else(yes, I am ignoring how unlikely that is.... sweatdrop ) ))

Robin finally stopped in a small clearing, somewhat dissettled by the lack of open areas in the forest.Kari, staying a little behind him, obediantly stopped when he did. She wasn't going to bother telling him he was an idiot, she already had several times since he fled the town.

Aki, a little ways away and in a tree, smiled. She'd wait until they were comfortable before going to them to see what she could get off of them.

((What point in the story-line are we? They've already left the town and banded together? If my guess is wrong, I'll edit this...))
"Following someone?" whispered Izen from a branch a bit above and a little behind Aki, with a grin. "If it helps any, I don't particularly care why."
((PS I respectfully deleted the error report once I saw they were fixed))

((Aki and Robin haven't met yet, it's before that. Robin and Kari are int he forest, and is he with Aki or Robin?.... At the moment they're seperate, but'll be working together(somewhat) later...))

"Nobles to rob." she smirked, turning to look at him. She watched as the two(Robin and Kari) settled down and started to gather things for a fire, dusk quickly approaching. "Time to get to work." she grinned, silently climbing down once the two were sitting with their backs to her. "I'll leave you the small one(kari), the other's mine." she told Izen before quietly slipping up towards the two.

Kari had found wood while Robin hunted, managing to shoot two rabbits and they were currently skewered on a stick over the small fire she'd built. She couldn't shake the feeling that someone was watching them, even though she knew Robin didn't sense a thing.

((In that case, I'll say for the moment that Izen's just wandering a bit after a good night's sleep.
Also, his reason outlawed is a repeat of something else, that's how that something else was missing earlier... just change it to "see history" please ><))
He decided to take a more direct approach, which at the same time provided whoever the other person was with a distraction. He jumped around the trees silently, winding up in a place that he could jump off and walk in without appearing nearly as suspicious.
"I thought I saw a fire," he said, waving a friendly-looking greeting. Honestly, these two didn't look all that "noble" to him; but what did he know? He was a pirate, not a thief.

"And your point bein-" Kari started with a sigh before Robing cut her off.
"Do you want to sit down, I'd offer food but we have nothing." he said, unaware that Aki wasn't far behind him and only behind the tree. She wouldn't be seen though, she was onfident of that much. "Wait, did you hear something?" he asked before grabbing his bow from beside him and walking a little ways off, searching for whatever had made the noise he'd heard.


Aki smiled, a thrown stone could do wonders sometimes.
PostPosted: Tue May 08, 2007 7:21 pm


"Nevermind. Believe it or not, I heard not a thing," he said, pointing halfway at his ear.
