Welcome to Imythess, the border between dreams and reality. We hope you enjoy your visit.

Imythess is a creative writing board where you narrate the story of a character in the medieval land of Imythess, on the planet Chaon. Each topic is an opportunity for your character to interact with the world and its peoples by cooperatively writing pieces of a story with other members, one post at a time. We call this role-playing, because you assume the identity of your character as if it were your own.

In order to play, you must register an account for each character you would like to write about, and begin their tale by filling out their basic profile information: Race (human, elf, demon, etc.), class (warrior, mage, etc.), physical appearance, and any other personal details you would like to describe. You are also encouraged to come up with some background history information for what your character's life has been like up to the point at which their story in Imythess begins.

There is no approval process or application required to join, so long as you follow the rules then you are free to write whatever character details you choose. Registration is simple, fast, and completely free.

Basic information
Gender:Male
Age:40
Species:Human (probably)
Class:Berserker
Nationality:Northerner
Alignment:Chaotic Neutral
Overview:Strong, obnoxious man with a passion for drink

Appearance
Alf Selbjorn is so large and heavily-built that observers often wonder if he has some sort of orcish or ogre blood in his ancestry, though any speculation is reserved, except by the exceptionally foolhardy or reckless, to well out of his earshot.

He's never been able to grow any hair on the top of his head (which did nothing to dispel the rumours of inhuman heritage), but everywhere below that is exceptionally hairy, from his thick, unkempt beard right down to his scraggly toenails.

Before leaving his home in the north, near Striberg, Alf wore heavy furs in several layers to help insulate him from the cold. Having found the rest of Imythess far warmer than his homeland, he has since stripped down his heavy habitual outfit to a few scraps of light fabric that cover the bare minimum necessary for decency's sake, and even that only after getting into a few scraps with local law enforcement about how much that "bare minimum" constituted.

With his refusal to wear boots in any climate warmer than freezing, his feet have grown heavily calloused, but they are still vulnerable to sharp rocks and are often marked my bruises or shallow cuts.

Personality
Alf is quick to anger, but incapable of holding a grudge, and will gladly buy a drink for someone whom, ten minutes earlier, he had threatened to murder gruesomely. This can be disconcerting for those who are unaccustomed to such rapid changes in temperament, and the abrupt change sometimes makes people suspicious.

Though his hotheadedness and hardheadedness imply otherwise, he is by no means stupid--though whether he is smart or not is another matter. He has a quick wit and is capable of throwing out a biting and snappy retorts, but he does so even when it would be wiser to remain silent. He doesn't always know when his remarks have offended others, and when he does, he often uses the knowledge to take another jab at them rather than making amends.

This problem is exacerbated when he drinks, as, though he can stomach a great deal of liquor before showing obvious effects, his judgement rapidly becomes impaired. He also becomes very outgoing, sometimes to the point of obnoxiousness.
