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.

When Vanessa came to Taras she came with a scar on her cheek and a baby on her hip. While her vivid red hair hid the former, nothing could hide the latter. Lari cried and cried and cried. The only time she didn't cry was when she slept, only then could Vanessa snatch a few hours of much needed rest. Lari was a bonnie baby with a freckled nose and a few soft, wispy curls of golden hair. She was nine months old. Vanessa herself was only sixteen and she found it difficult taking care of all of Lari's needs, but she wouldn't trade her in. All they had now, was each other. So, on a darkening evening, Vanessa found herself here in Taras, barefoot, her feet bruised and cold and wearing a dusty brown frock with a tattered hem. Lari wore a small tunic of the same cloth and was wrapped in a faded green blanket, Vanessa carried Lari on her hip and Lari whimpered and sniffled, her bright blue eyes sadder than they should be. With a sigh Vanessa pushed open the door to the tavern and hurried in, spying a corner where on one would likely notice her she settled Lari on a chair, worried to leave her for even a moment but having no choice. She crossed to the bar and asked for a glass of fruit juice for herself, and some bread soaked in warm milk for Lari. She handed over some money with a sigh, knowing that now she only had a few pennies left. With bread and milk and fruit juice she crossed back to her table and settled down to spoon the bread and milk mush into Lari's red little mouth.

Konahomaru walked in and took a look around. He was on patrol, as was usual. Being a Taras Gaurd, he had become acustomed to helping those in dire need. Giving a freindly nod to the barkeep, he walked up and received a glass of water. Konas drinks from this bar were now free, after saving the owner from a vampire.

Kona took another look around, only he noticed someone in the corner busy with something not visible. Unusual. He decided to check it out. Getting a little bit closer, he listened carefully. It was a child. Why would a woman that young be caring for a baby? He would have to know. Konahomaru walked carefully up to the table, and sat down his glass of water. "Please excuse me, can I be of any assistance?" he said, offering a few coins to the needy mother.

Vanessa looked up, startled and Lari began to whimper again, her mouth gaping open, waiting for the next spoonful of bread and milk, Vanessa hastily popped a spoon into Lari's waiting mouth and mopped her little chin with a scrap of cloth, Lari quieted, her blue eyes grew round as she stared at the stranger, a thin stream of saliva dribbling down the side of her mouth. Vanessa hastily wiped it away and looked back to the stranger, her green eyes wary. She combed delicate fingers through her flaming hair, drawing it forward, it covered almost all of the right half of her face and still her pale green, gold flecked eyes peered out. She risked a tiny, shy smile, but did not take the money, she knew it would be unwise to trust a gift from a stranger. Instead she silently gestured to an empty seat, an invitation for him to sit, if he wished.

The human was trying to cover something, a blemish, or maybe a tattoo that identified her as a gang member? It did not matter to Konahomaru right now. If she was part of a gang, he was not going to bust her. She was having a very rough time. Kona took the offered invitation, and sat down next to the suspicious mother.

Kona could feel her suspicion when he looked into her eyes. Worried for her own safety, and especially for the baby's. "Dont worry" said Kona. "Im an angel, of sorts." He had been controlling his aura up to this point, but he allowed it to leak out of his pure white eyes. Blue halos appeared inside them, and a small glow with some sparks of electricity started to flow from his eyes. "If anything, im here to protect, should something bad happen." he shuffled in his backpack for a minute, then pulled out a medallion. "Im a Taras Gaurd. I wont let anything happen to you or your wonderfull child. Please, take the money. I dont need food or rest as often as humans do."

With a hesitant nod and a small smile of thanks Vanessa accepted the money and tucked it safe inside the bodice of her tattered dress, greatly relieved that her precious Lari would not have to go hungry.
She realised he had noticed how she covered her face and she pushed her hair back a little, it still covered most of her right cheek though. She spoke, quietly "My name is Vanessa, I'm newly arrived here, the babe is Lari, my half sister, though I am all the mother she has now. We are grateful for you kindness, sir."

Kona smiled back, although he didnt necesarily feel anything. Helping humans was a duty of his. "ITs no problem at all. Any time you need any help, dont hesitate to look for me. Im not hard to find, im constantly on patrol, and im the only Half-Celestial in Taras. Dont let that get to spread around though, i dont want anyone worshiping me." he said, and then chuckled a little. Something he actually found amusing.

He looked at the baby and saw its very ballish eyes, as if it were ready to explode crying at any moment. "A cranky little one you have. It seems sad about someting... i hope its not too serious." Kona looked worried at the baby. Looking into its eyes, and feeling what it felt was painfull to do.

Vanessa shrugged, wrapping one arm defensively around Lari, even when miserable, she thought to herself, Lari was an adorable child.
"Her parents are dead" she said quietly, instantly regretting having told this stranger anything, she had half promised herself that she and Lari would have a new beginning as mother and daughter, rather than half-sisters, after all, she would have to be a mother to little Lari now. "I'd be grateful if you didn't let that get too much spread around either. As far as anyone else here need know, lari shall be my own daughter from now on" She shot a pleading glance at this peculiar stranger, hoping he would understand she had let slip more than she meant to, hoping he would be discreet about it.

"Dont worry. I wont tell a soul" Kona replied. She was very worried that someone might find out. It gave Kona the impression that she was worried someone wanted to harm them. Kona wouldnt normally have been worried, most people in imythess knew how to protect themselves, but this woman was very vulnerable and weak.

"Im a gaurd in Taras, so if you ever run into trouble I wont be far away." he said, trying to reasure her of her safety when she was with him. "If it makes you feel any better, i can give you a spell of mine. Its called 'Shield of Faith'. You can use it to protect yourselves, but you have to have faith in me and the shield for it to work. If you dont, it will be useless. Do you think you can have faith in me?"
