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.

Emilie Joubert

Gender: Female
Age: Late twenties
Species: Demihuman - A human mixed with other species to the point that she does not look like any species in particular. Emilie thinks she's predominantly human with some avariel and water genasi ancestry mixed in. See Appearance and Background.

Class: Nautical - Very accustomed to living on, in, and around boats and water.

Occupation: Harbormaster - A government official responsible for enforcing the laws and regulations of a harbor. In this case, Emilie is the master of a locally relevant Taras harbor made up of ports collectively called the Asturias Windbreak (located just south of where the River Asturias empties into the Moonsea, see Background).

Nationality: South Taras

Primary Element: Water
Secondary Element: Wind


Appearance

Height: 5'9"
Build: Wispy
Eyes: Orange
Hair: Cornsilk blonde, shoulder-length, shaggy. Makes her look kind of like a sheepdog.

Common Attire: Harbormaster uniform. Functional and fashionable!

Identifying Marks: Pointed ears with black tips. Body covered in swirling blue lines and spots like natural tattoos. A few black stripes around her wrists and ankles. Two parallel surgical scars on her back.


Personality

Overview:

  • Professionally Corrupt: Accepts bribes, negotiates kickbacks and other under-the-table money-skimming, falsifies reports, and selectively enforces certain laws to benefit herself and her buddies.

  • Sociable: Quite friendly, outgoing, has plenty of loyal friends and coworkers willing to sweep her antics under the rug or even cooperate with them. Takes initiative and is often the first to suggest new ideas or plans to tackle a new situation.

  • Payment-Oriented: Greedy. Values profit more than common morals or her own reputation. Thinks that more money will make her happier and often fantasizes about living a lavish lifestyle of unfettered hedonism.

  • Unbothered: It takes a lot to offend her. Doesn't respond easily to threats, insults or slander. Tries to be pragmatic about parsing real threats from false ones. Relatively level-headed; doesn't get angry very quickly in general.

  • Obfuscating Behavior: Uses a mixture of sarcasm, dry humor, and deep knowledge of bureaucratic technicalities to worsen the lives of people she doesn't like, causing her to be perceived as a typical hapless government cog by those less astute. Has enough authority and skill to manipulate the bureaucratic process, speeding it up or slowing it down -- making it painless or painful -- for her allies and enemies respectively.

  • Has Limits: Is more of a financial criminal than a monster. For example, would never knowingly do anything that would cause harm to children or peaceful animals.


Other Notes:

  • Has a complex about flying. Feels like the sky was denied to her. (See Demihuman in Background section). Gets really grumpy about it.

  • Emilie has never killed anyone with her own hands.


Background

Demihuman: Emilie believes she's primarily human with some avariel and water genasi blood mixed in. She was born with two deformed limbs growing out of her back. These pseudo-wings had to be surgically amputated once they began to painfully ingrow preliminary feather shafts. She also feels a strong nonmagical kinship or "resonance" with water of any kind.

The Asturias Windbreak: Locally but not nationally relevant, this harbor is located just south of where the River Asturias empties into the Moonsea. It is well-known for the colossal manmade windbreak giving the appearance of a giant, brightly patterned wing. While once notable for being a beautifully designed haven for artists and other refined traders, the neighborhood never quite recovered from the sacking of the city. Magnificent street murals are crumbling and defaced with graffiti, the dockside bars are seedy, and the windbreak itself is decrepit and faded. Despite the urban decay, this harbor remains very productive for trade.
