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.

Name: Kamdu

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Element: Earth

Secondary Element: Nature

Skills: Knowledge: Religion, Great Agility

Flaw: Blindness

Feat: Blind Fight

Physical Appearance: Kamdu is tall at 6’1”, but his slimline build detracts from any intimidation that might be gained from his height. As part of his rigid spiritual discipline, Kamdu’s thick, silky black hair is kept a specific length, falling precisely halfway between his jaw line and shoulders in order to maintain balance. His long bangs fall down to his high cheekbones, veiling his pale blue unseeing eyes. They split evenly around the bridge of his nose, creating two separate halves that shield each eye equally. As part of his spiritual regimen, his facial hair is kept in check. His pale pink lips and shallow cheeks are usually relaxed, giving him and indifferent facial expression at all times. Due to his constant fasting and long hours of stern meditation, Kamdu’s figure is slight and lanky. Only his arms and shoulders are kept tone with a lean coating of muscle from his martial arts practice. His legs are slim, flowing smoothly as thin extensions of his small abdomen and hips. His feet are larger, oddly out of place with the rest of his figure. They bear many scars and the bottoms are hardened from walking barefoot. The backs of each of his hands are adorned with his spirit symbol. A small pendant on a steel chain is slung around his neck, resting just between his collarbones. It portrays a black falcon’s head set against a white background. Following the tradition of the monks, he remain shirtless at all times as a part of his spiritual regimen, making him appear fittingly uncivilized. A forest-green pair of loose trousers extend to cover his thin legs, held up by a thick, lighter-green cloth belt. The fabric seems to swirl and flow around his slight from, allowing for total freedom of movement. He wears no shoes, rings or jewelry, for such material adornments detract from his spirituality. His small waterskin hangs on his belt. Kamdu has no need for a pack, for he has very few possessions, believing that possessions are tethers to the physical world that detract from his connection to the spirits.

Fighting Style: As part of his spiritual discipline, Kamdu has been trained with the rugged discipline of martial arts, allowing for a perfect balance between physical and spiritual maintenance. He prefers to disable his opponents, for mercy and peace is the basis for all spiritual knowledge. He believes it is better to educate one’s opponents in the ways of peace rather than simply smiting them. He was always taught that any man can kill, but it takes a hero to allow life. As an extension of his martial arts training, he studies the art of wielding a staff, both as an aide to his blindness and as a weapon. Kamdu prefers this weapon because it is non-lethal, as killing is damaging to spirituality. He believes that no man has the right to take the life of another man, and as such uses his staff to make quick strikes that disarm opponents without killing them.

Personality: His blindness allows Kamdu to spend long hours thinking without the restraints of physical reality. He has a deeply engrained philosophy and a strong sense of spirituality. He believes in pre-destination of all souls, controlled by the greater spirits of which no one knows. He refuses to allow his thinking to be tied down by worldly logic and reason, something he learned during his meditation.

He speaks his mind often and to anyone willing to listen, for teaching is the greatest service any one man can offer. He doesn’t use sarcasm and rarely indulges in humor, for he believes that these trivialities detract from what is truly important. He is easy-going, preferring to take the peaceful road if one presents itself. Even though he is a strong fighter when he needs to be, he dislikes violence and views violent people as those most in need of enlightenment.

Kamdu prefers to keep his mind free from worldly emotions, which also inhibit his spirituality. Emotions are temporary and fleeting, and thus he views them as trivial and unnecessary. He is constantly attempting to free his mind from worldly emotions. Emotions are often strong and polar, which creates great spiritual imbalance and therefore an incredible inhibition on his mind.

He always feels the need to better himself, always searching for the next possible level of spirituality. This perfectionism is what drove him to learn martial arts and what encourages him to keep up his strong regimen of meditation and fasting.
