| 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. Create a character now! If you're already a member, you can log into your account below: |

General Information Pure Name: Rain Across the Memorial Shortened Name: Rain Gender: Female Age: Adult Species: Eraiun Human - A human subspecies found in extreme or mana-rich environments in Imythess. Their appearance is determined by their experiences, not their genetics. Languages Known: Imythessian Common (Native), Rehel (Beginner) Nationality: Mountainmidst, Dragonspine Mountains Class: Mountain Infantry - A veteran of a special force in the Mountainmidst Army called the Unforgiving Terrain Unit, the "Backbreakers." While Rain acted primarily as a "long-range strategic assassin" (a sniper), she is extensively trained in other common forms of irregular combat and likes to think of herself as a jack-of-all-trades extreme survivalist. Occupation: Lone Wolf - Living off the money she gained by pillaging towns in her own country and then promptly deserting the military, Rain has engaged in an almost full-time personal quest. On the side she'll do mercenary work by request from friends (or if the job seems like fun). Physical Description Height: 5'2" Hair: Dirty blonde Eyes: Black Skin: Medium Common Attire: Rain blends in. In a natural setting, she dresses herself in camouflaging colors that break up her outline. In civilization, she wears whatever will draw the least amount of attention. Identifying Marks: Easily confused for an elf due to her 4-inch-long, sharply pointed ears. Skin from head to toe is accented with jagged, hair-thin black lines (along major artery pathways, etc). Since Rain's hands are covered in big blood-red stripes, she wears gloves in almost all situations. Her skin is unnaturally warm to the touch. She smells like an alpine forest. Personality Overview Summary of Traits:
Values:
Background Pure Name: Like all middle- and upper-class citizens of Mountainmidst, Rain's parents brought her to a sage to determine what her "pure name" was. The sage underwent a ritual and saw a vision of a pivotal moment in Rain's life. The pure names that people receive are simply a blunt description of something the sage fixated on in that vision. When someone "culminates their name," it means they are currently experiencing that pivotal moment the sage saw when they first named them. In other words, they're experiencing their name. Culminating one's pure name is supposed to be very profound and life-changing, although in some cases it takes a while before the significance is understood. Rain Across the Memorial: "You're standing at the plinth, alone and in genuine mourning," the sage explained. "All around you are the same gloomy colors as always, but the details are different. Your entire reaction is different." The sage's prediction implied that Rain's life would be unremarkable, since the most pivotal moment would actually be the death of someone else. Still, the vision has captivated her since childhood. Someone Worth Mourning: In searching for the culmination of her name, Rain has been trying for decades to find "someone worth mourning" -- really mourning. After participating in the looting of towns in the far western Dragonspines and then deserting the Mountainmidst Army's Unforgiving Terrain Unit, Rain has turned her full attention toward this personal quest. This means that she is always concerned with either meeting new people or maintaining existing friendships. The Mountainmidst Unforgiving Terrain Unit: The Backbreakers were special mountain infantry known for incredible feats of travel that made them capable of showing up at an assigned location much faster than originally thought possible. During the Mountainmidst Revolution, a small number of squads -- one of which Rain was part of -- went rogue. They disobeyed command and faded into the taiga. Then they essentially became elite bandits, using the destabilized nature of the country to pillage as much as possible. The ones who survived ended up leaving the country with a small fortune each, plus a huge bounty on their heads. Bounty: As a war criminal, Rain has a bounty on her head from both Mountainmidst and allied Striberg. This bounty can be claimed either dead or alive. Since her qualifications and exploits are well-recorded, she is only targeted by highly advanced bounty hunter groups and has to stay on her toes at all times. |
