Basic Overview and Rules
This is a roleplay about a small band of thieves. I will only be accepting up to six members at most. These members will be allowed to have up to two characters if they wish it, as well as one pet. All members of this group will have known each other their whole lives, so none of this "I wonder who she is" stuff.
If you leave the rp, your character will become a premade so that other users may join, but your character will not leave the story.
I hate to state the obvious, but
1: No flippin cybering. Romance goes up to pg-13, alright?
2: For God's sake, be literate, this is a literate Guild...
3: if you've read this, you will put "bored" at the top of your PM to me with your char sheet in it
4: I don't think I'm leaving anything out, but if you do something that violates the ToS, then I will add it to the rules here, and then ban you from the rp
5:j/k title your pm monkey.

Story In Depth
-This is about a group of Thieves who have been together their whole lives. -Their ages would be from 5-25, no older, no younger.
If you are going to be a character who is under 10, you would therefore assume that the oldest member of the group adopted you/brought you in. You will not have memories of another family, because they will have found you as a baby.
-Setting is definitely medieval times. Knights, Lords, Kings etc. No hover bikes or anything odd like that. Oh, Title your PM Knights...
This group is notorious for getting away with everything. They have even stolen from the king's own dinner table. They are called "The Rats" by anyone other than themselves. They think of themselves as a family and simply call their group, "Family". None of the older members like to be thieves, or even think it is right, but they have to protect Family, and make sure everyone can eat(ages 18-25). The younger members are into it simply for the thrill of not getting caught. They often annoy the older members who don't approve of stealing despite their profession. These younger members (10-16) often steal things other than food, such as money or jewels, this is against the code of the Family, but often the older ones just pretend not to notice rather than cause trouble within in the group. There are no more than 6 of them, and never will be more.
Code of The Family & Rank System:
-only food
-only clothes IF you need them
-no jewelry, or money EVER.
-Do not argue with anyone 4+ years older than you.
-my character is the leader. put i read and obey as the title of your pm
-don't get caught
-don't get into fights
Note: this code is not often obeyed, or even really cared about, but it is there as something to say that they are not uncivilized, it is to say that they also have rules and codes and laws, just like society as a whole.

User Name:The_ Fool
Name: Seiri (Say-ree)
Age: 24
Appearance: {X}
She is tall, tan, lithe, and gorgeous. Her long honey hair is always tied back, and she has large blue eyes. She is almost always in shorts and a tank top, usually a black top and tan or brown skirts.
Personality:She's fun and loves to have fun, however, she can be very serious at times. She is very rule-oriented and hates being disobeyed or lied to. She is pretty mellow most of the time, and loves a good heist, but has a strong moral code that she doesn't like breaking. She wants to make sure that they only take what they need. She is proud of her skills, but wants to be a normal member of society and not to have to steal. She can and will kick anyone's a** who pisses her off. She is stronger than she looks, and has a hidden temper to match.
Bio: She kind of started up the gang, but not entirely.
She was part of the older gang, the generation before. She knows the names of each Rat to come before her. She has yet to pass them on. Unlike normal, these were not chosen the right way. Not as replacements by the person they were going to replace. All the gang but her left on a mission and didn't come back, so she's gathered up who she could. Anyone with skill or anything that might be an asset to the group. She often wonders what happened to the others, but she's got a pretty good guess, and its not a happy ending.
With Jensen's return, the ending of 'her' group of Rats became clear, and her love for him was re-ignited. She'd had a crush on him before, years ago before he'd disappeared, and then with his reappearance, well she fell in love all over again.
And now she has a baby daughter. Kesla, hers and Jensen's daughter.
Pet:none.
User Name:The_ Fool
Name:Jensen
Age: 24
Appearance: [X]
add a small white scar across the top of his left cheek, as in it goes right along the cheekbone under his eye.
He usually wears a white shirt and dark pants of any color so long as they look almost black.
Personality: He's a pretty easy going guy, but he's tough and cold. He's also very finicky about food and things. He's been through quite a bit, and he knows what he's doing. He'd rather joke with someone instead of fighting them, but he's known for mocking those he fights with, too. He's smart and he knows it, but plays it down so that no one else does. He doesn't act stupid though.
He's also incredibly sweet at times. If he thinks someone needs a hug, he'll go up and hug 'em. Assuming that he actually knows who they are, and they don't look like they'll kill him for trying. He's very good at understanding people and he tries to give everyone lots of leeway before taking offense. His temper is usually pretty hard to set off, but once its off, he's not coming out of it till he's badly hurt the other person.
Bio: He is one of the fifth generation Rats. He was second in command, and way above Arianna, who was just a member before they all disappeared. He became part of the Rats when he successfully stole from the leader of the time. He'd gotten caught in the end by the leader, James, but he'd gotten himself in. He'd been on many of the major jobs the Rats did and he knows all the ropes of it.
Eventually though, they took on a job too big. He wanted less people to go, and pleaded James to take a smaller group, he was accused of being a coward, so he shut up and they all went. He's the only one who made it out alive. Other'n Seiri, but she never went. His hands don't work the way they used to and shake all the time from his time in the torture chambers. His fingers didn't heal right and so he has a very hard time doing anything delicate or picking small things up. So he's useless on a job and knows it.
He waited a long time until they thought he was gonna waste away and die to break out of the prison, but he barely made it. He managed to hide under a wagon and stay there until they were out of the city. So he escaped and waited again for months to go back to his old home. He hoped that maybe some others had made it, even though he had seen them all die. Something in him wanted to believe they were just faking. So, he waited and then came back, hoping that his hands would heal, but they never did heal right. He hopes to find himself a place within the Rats again, but doesn't know what he could do. He does know he's in love with Seiri, and that they're together. He's not the jealous type, nor is he particularly possessive, but that doesn't mean he won't make it clear that she's his if another guy starts to act too familiar with Seiri.
Pet: He has a rather large wolf that has attached itself to him. Nighteyes. He's also very attached to it. Nighteyes is his only line of defense, as of he always used daggers, and when you can't grasp the hilt, you can't fight. His hands also pain him, so hand to hand isn't an option, either. Nighteyes has been his since he opened his eyes.

The clothing she wears is average though sometimes she wears things with a little more class to them. Everything she wears is light, Lillie hate dark color and finds them to be extremely ugly., to hold her hair back she uses ribbons that match whatever she is wearing.
Personality: Friendly and caring beyond her age, Lillie is also lively and needs lots of attention to stay peppy and happy. When she cries it is ridiculous and a lot like how a six year-old would act, this usually happens when she doesn’t get her way, or she’s scared, bugs scare her the most. She can act kind of spoiled and bratty most of the time but she’s a teenage girl. And in Being a teenage girl she gets distracted by certain things, like pretty jewels clothes and boys. Over all she is pretty pleasant to be around.
Bio: Not really much to say here, she grew up comfortably within The group of thieves after her family died from the Plague when she was ten. That’s when she entered the group and got a family again. She suppressed the memories of her first family deep inside her hates to remember them.
Pet: none
User Name: MagickFaerieDust
Name: Taylor
Age: 19
Appearance: <3
She constantly wears a black wool trenchcoat, even in the summer. She finds that the deep pockets are good for stealing things when she needs to.
Personality: Taylor is deeply and fiercely loyal to the Family because it's basically been the only stable thing in her life ever. She projects a tough girl image, but secretly loves a good laugh. She also almost never cries, saving her tears for the important stuff.
Bio: Her childhood was spent moving from household to household, town to town. Her mother died when she was young and seemed to have another male "pet" every other week. The day that Taylor walked in on her mother and her current squeeze snorting lines of coke off of her mother's vanity mirror, she was horrified. And when her mother invited her to join them, she left the house and never went back, not wanting to fall into the trap of drugs. It was some time before she and the Family found each other, but when she did, she was glad to have it.
Pet: none
User Name: amberdream
Name: Corwen
Age: 18
Appearance: He's got shaggy brown hair that he uses to hide his face most of the time, and brown eyes that usually give the impression of him knowing something nobody else does. He's got a fragile looking kind of build, not heavy set or sturdy looking for all he's plenty strong. He's about 6', but seems shorter then he is because of the way he stands. For the most part he's always looking down sort of slouching in an attempt to make himself inconspicuous, which is just habit.
Personality: He's fairly quiet and tends to keep to himself for the most part, not depressed or anything, just a little shy. When he enters the room, he tends to do so as surreptitiously as possible so he's not noticed. He's got a good heart and absolutely hates hurting people, physically or otherwise. He's easy enough to make smile, but its hard to see usually because his eyes are usually on the ground. Being so quiet, he's a good listener, and generally easy to talk to because he'll never ever make fun of you for anything you say. He's also one of the few new members who bothers to follow the code, and as a result his clothes are always completely trashed, as he refuses to steal any new ones until the existing ones are pretty much useless. The only thing is he can't say no most of the time, so does get roped into helping the girls steal things on occasion.
It takes a ridiculous amount of provocation to make him mad, but when you do, its pretty terrifying. Especially considering how completely opposite it is from his regular personality.
Bio: He doesn't remember much. He just knows his blood family was never there. He doesn't know if they died or ditched him or what, but it doesn’t bother him. He can't remember anyways. As far as he's concerned, his fellow Rats are his family.
Pet: He found a little baby grey squirrel about a week ago, and he fed her, because the poor thing looked half starved. It kept following him after he fed her, so he decided to keep her. Her name is Pepper, because he couldn't think of anything, her coloring, and because she keeps making him sneeze. He's allergic to the fur, as of Nighteyes does that to him, too.
Gaia Name: Aralyn Cassidy
Name: Anneliese
Age: 19
Appearance: http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m298/Jordinslilsis/LE_Shia.jpg Anneliese has long auburn hair that curls at the ends, and large expressive blue eyes that despite her best effort betray her inner feelings and fears. Her body is frail and willowly, her skin pale porcelain. Her back, though always covered bares the marks of her former Master.
Personality: Though kind and caring, Anneliese is often shy around others; afraid to let people too close. She is not trusting by nature, learning after the years with her Master that not all can be trusted. Once she accepts you as a friend, Anneliese will do anything for you. Her temper rarely comes out and she acts like a mother figure for the younger children who have no one save for "The family." Anneliese is skittish around men, and hard pressed to get along with the women.
Bio: Before her time with "Family" Anneliese had at first been homeless. After a fashion of scavenging for anything she could to eat, a gentleman took her in; promising her a good life with comfort and food not found in the gutter. Being Naive, Anneliese accepted and soon found out the mistake she had made. Treating her as a slave, the man proved a Cruel Master-beating Anneliese into submission and often times after too much drink, would force her into his bed.
A few years went by like this, and Anneliese finally grew to where she could no longer stand it. One night after her Master had fallen asleep, she ran. She ran until she reached the City and after hiding for several weeks went back to her previous life; always looking back over her shoulder for her Master. It was one day when she was out looking for food when Anneliese meet a member of "The family." Filled with compassion for her, the member took her back home and it was agreed she could stay.
Pet: Doesnt have one
User Name:selphie395
Name: Skye
Age: 19
Appearance:  Skye has red hair and big blue eyes, and a constant smile on her face. She looks younger than she is but it doesn't worry her; she can be quite flirty and sexy when she wants to. She usually wears the weirdest combination of clothing she can find - although always in dark tones so she blends into the night, and always in the best fabrics she can ste...hum...find.
Personality: Skye is a funny, cheerful girl, who always looks on the bright side of things. Her laid-back attitude may sometimes be seen as immaturity, but those who know her know she is far from being reckless; actually very brave and responsible, she never puts anyone's life at stake - anyone's but hers. She is also quite perky and flirty, and sometimes sarcastic. Her laughter is legendary, and she's famed and appreciated for "keeping the troop's morale up and shining", as she usually says. Being very intuitive and always looking ahead, she misses no details and because of that combination she's the one who goes 'fishing' for new members every once in a while. Apart from the Family rules, she follows one of her own: stealing only from the wealthy. She can't face taking a family's food or clothing when she knows they need it.
Bio: Spent all her life with the Rats. She is one of those in-between between the younger and the older factions, and has achived some respect in the family.
Gaian name: Tedashi of Jade
Name: Dameon Stone
Age: 17
Appearance: He has pale skin and dazzling hazel eyes that reflect different colors in different angles of sunlight. He’s about 5’7” with a slim but athletic body build. He is usually seen wearing a red scarf that makes him stand out in a crowd. Otherwise he was so silent you would forget he was right next to you.
Personality: He’s very relaxed, and usually silent, but every now and then he’ll pipe in with his 2 cents. When he’s quiet he’s analyzing the situation. When he’s speaking, he has already thought it out. Sometimes he is too analytical and it drives people away from him. He struggles with trusting anyone. Many of his relationships have ended because of it.
Bio: His father’s name was Lucifer, meaning carrier of the light, and his mother was Amara, meaning eternal ruler. Their story was one of tragedy and love. And It all eventually led to the fall of their kingdom and their son being taken when he was barely 10 years of age. It was a minor kingdom, very few had heard of it, but the corruption that destroyed it came from within. The councilmen of the table betrayed the king in order to take the land for their own. They burned their home and forced little prince Lucuis to watch. After this horrid torture, they sold him into slavery with him knowing fully that, he had just watched his family die and there had been nothing he could do. From then on, his life was hell. He was sold into slavery from which he escaped and and slept in the streets. Until the Family took him in. He’s been with them ever since.

Hearing the bawl of a baby just a month old, Jensen groaned in his sleep. Knowing it was the 'hunger cry' there was nothing he could do. Getting up anyways, to let his lover sleep just a moment longer, he went to his daughter in an attempt to quiet her.
The babe sucked on his shirt as he held her, then started to cry again realizing there was no food, and he was not her mother.
Wishing the small howls would stop, he quieted her again, bringing her to her mother.
"Seiri," he said gently. He sat down on the bed next to her and gently stroked her hair, and she shot awake.
"Love, the baby's hungry," he told her.
Seiri sat up with a soft sigh, pulling Kesla into her arms. Her daughter. She shooed her lover away, before feeding her baby.
It wasn't like she wanted him to stare at her and watch. Not that she thought he would. She figured he'd go back to sleep. But she'd be too jealous, and she'd keep nudging him awake. Which wasn't fair. He'd have better luck elsewhere. She was just glad this was the one and only baby so far.
Along with being glad they were able to have one.
He never really told her what happened in the torture chambers not really, but she could see the scars covering his body.
He'd never told her what happened...but she knew it had changed him. Destroyed a lot of his confidence...destroyed his body. He even had minor seizures from damage done to his spinal cord from his time in the chambers.
She was thankful he was up to making a baby at all. Not that she'd ever doubted him. Or ever would.

The baby cried and the mind of Taylor, which teetered constantly on that dangerous brink between being a teen and an adult, complained. She had only just barely dropped off to sleep, the dark void hard to find that night. She slipped out of her coat, which she wore even in sleep, and threw it over her head in an attempt to muffle the noise.
Then she realized that the noise had stopped and the coat over her head was obstructing her ability to breathe, so she balled it up and curled up on her side, sticking the coat in the crevice formed by her position. There were murmured voices; she could make out the tones and knew which voice belonged to which person, but could not make out the words so she gave up straining her ears and tried to go back to sleep.

Lillie sighed. She'd woken up and heard the baby crying, she was a cute girl when she didn't cry, but when she cried it made Lillie feel bad, it hurt her on the inside to hear the little girl make those sounds.
Lillie sat up, she was probably the worst member out of them all, she stole clothes she liked, even when they weren't needed, and she did other things that weren't the most decent of things to do, like if she wanted something and wasn't in the mood to steal it, she'd find some rich guy and get him to buy it for her.
She stretched her arms in the air, so that the white fabric of her night gown moved, it had lace around the arms hem and neck line, her long hair was tied in a ribbon, she moved quickly and walked down the halls, she wore light slippers on her feet, and she moved half asleep.

Seiri sighed a little, as Kesla finished. Putting her daughter next to her on the bed, she was too tired to tell her lover to come back.
She knew he'd be miserable sleeping elsewhere.
She was surprised to actually see him come back in.
"You alright?" She asked him softly. Generally he was gone for the night when and if she had to kick him out. Just because she was too selfish to watch him sleep.
Yawning, he crawled into bed, mindful of their daughter. "I'm fine, go back to sleep," he mumbled, carefully curling around their daughter a little. Kissing her cheek softly, he let his eyes close and fell asleep.
When he fell asleep he stayed still. It kept from drawing attention to yourself and you stayed safe.
He would always sleep like that.
Seiri sighed a little, kissing her lover's cheek, before lying down again and falling asleep. When the sun came up again Kesla would wake and demand food.

It was early morning, a good time for Lillie to start cooking breakfast for everyone. She yawned entering the kitchen, "Fruit.. Bread.. cheese... meat...." she said looking in the cabinets, No bread, or fruit, or cheese only meat, "that's no good." she said going back to her room.
She changed into a powdery blue dress and put on a pair of boots, then left going off to find something to cook out in the town.

Jensen made sure they always had meat. Nighteyes had proved adept at catching small game.
He rolled out of bed picking up Kesla and taking her with him. She was asleep still, and nuzzled up against his chest.
Figuring he'd see who else was awake he carried her down.
If anything happened, like her being hungry, he'd managed to steal a cow on his way back -after escaping...and the animal always had fresh milk. And while it wasn't too good for the baby to be drinking cow's milk, once every few weeks wouldn't do any harm.

Taylor was slowly waking up, hearing the sounds of everyone else stirring around her. She felt stiff from sleeping so compactly and rolled her neck as she sat up to try and get the cricks out. She threw off the covers and slipped into her coat, buttoning it up over her nightshirt; she'd put on proper clothes once she had something in her currently complaining stomach. She left her room and headed for the main area of the place where they lived. She yawned as she entered the kitchen. "Good morning," she said tiredly to Jensen.

"Shh," he said softly, looking up. Only looking a little haggard, it was mainly the two days growth of beard that made him look tired.
Not that he ever looked too good. Still seriously underweight, it was a massive improvement from the skeleton he had been.
Kesla had woken up and wasn't fussing, but she didn't like people talking loud anyways.
He turned a little so Taylor could see he was holding his daughter, not just randomly shushing her.
"G'morning," he said quietly.

"Sorry," Taylor whispered apologetically. Despite the noise that the baby often made at night, sometimes she forgot that the child lived with them. It was kind of easy considering how even though she was loyal to the others, her main concern was her own day to day survival. Her hair tangled from sleeping, she combed her fingers through it as she looked about to see if there was anything she felt like eating.

"Looks like we're out of everything but meat," he said quietly. Not that it mattered all that much.
He didn't mind eating meat, or anything for that matter. So long as it was food, and not moldy. Although...considering what he'd been through..mold would be okay.
Figuring she was hungry, he was too.
Then again he was always hungry, trying desperately to put back on the weight and muscle he'd lost.
He was about six feet tall, and had used to weigh almost 200 pounds, as was average, and now barely made a little over 150. But his clothes were loose enough that it was hard to tell, and his beard made his face seem more filled out that in was.
Seiri woke up and initially panicked, not seeing Kesla, then calmed down as she realized Jensen must have her. Rising and dressing, she went down to the small larder underground, like a cellar, then poured some milk into some glasses before putting them on a tray and carrying them up.
She saw Jensen with Taylor and her daughter, and put the glasses down on a small countertop.
"Here, give her to me," she said, noting that he was starting to look like he needed the respite. It was amazing how strong he had been compared to how weak he was now. But she loved him the same, and as he was resting more and eating, he was getting stronger.
