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.

History
Clarity was born to a family of impoverished merchant family who had fallen on hard times. The Astora family were once a well regarded merchant family in Cascadia, holding several seat within the Chamber of Merchants itself. The Astora family had once controlled a major trade between Cascadia and Striberg but recent losses and a string of bad lucks had stripped the once influential Astora family of its wealth and political power.

While not part of the Astoran patriarch's family , Clare's father is the younger brother of the patriarch and shared in the family's wealth and success. When the fortune of the Astora family shifted, those most distant from the main family felt the full brunt of it first, Clare's family lasted as long as it could before her father committed suicide and her mother abandoning Clare and her sister to an orphanage.

Clare had to fend for herself growing up while simultaneously protecting her younger sister. Their time at the orphanage was, less than kind. Cascadia's society do not take kindly to that certain part of it that does not contribute to the nation and the orphans were more often treated little better than the Under Cascadians that haunted the dark tunnels of the Catacombs. Still, her once privileged position saved her from rotting in the back streets or worst. Fending off bullies from her younger and frail sister, Serene, was a full-time job for Clare.

This all came to an end when a relative of Clare and Serene came to the orphanage to adopt one of the sisters. Apparently, one of the offshoot Astoran line had stumbled upon a series of good luck that redeemed some of their lost fortunes. This distant uncle and aunt of Clare was however, not blessed with a child of their own and had managed to track down the sisters. Clare persuaded for the two of them to adopt Serene instead, much to Serene's disapproval.

The few years following Serene's departure from the orphanage had been lonely for Clare but at least now she had to only fend for herself. The great fire that burnt the orphanage down when she was 19 left her and many other orphans homeless and threatened to destroy whatever stability she has left in her life. Her luck however came when a retired mercenary stumbled upon Clare. Seemingly taking pity on her, the mercenary, one Alric the Ironheart, took Clare under his wing and trained her. Signing up to one of the adventurer's guild had radically changed her life. Clare was no longer the pampered princess of a wealthy merchant household, she had grew up to become a capable adventurer and fighter in her own right. Three years of training had honed her body and mind, where once she was groomed to be a pedigree and married of to another powerful merchant family for a political alliance, she is now a trained warrior.


Personality
Clare enjoyed a wealthy but sheltered life up to when the Astora family fortune turned. Despite being an adventurer now, she did underwent private tutoring and a class in noble etiquette, ball-dancing, poetry and history. All this gave Clare an enigmatic sense of an adventurer who is beyond just her sword wielding skill. Clare is articulate and knows the right button to push, thanks to her hours of having to deal with merchant nobilities of Upper Cascadia. Despite this however, Clare believes in justice and good. Her time in the orphanage has made her more than sympathetic to the plight of the weak and the downtrodden. She has a strong sense of justice but not to the point of naivety, she understood well enough that sometimes, something must be sacrificed in order to achieve the best possible result.

Growing up in a sheltered environment had made Clare adventurous and wanderlust. She had made it her personal mission to visit every corner of Imythess and perhaps even beyond. This also made her inquisitive, always seeking new knowledge and being critical about them.
