| 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: |

Alexander or Alex “Mercury” The Thief Personality Quiet is one way to put it, but with quite the aggressive streak. He hates to be looked upon unless by those he trusts for it reminds him all too well of a less than desirable past. He bears no love for humans if not outright hate. To kill one is no different to him than swatting a fly. Any insult given by a human is multiplied in intensity many more times to him than any normal sort would. It is not uncommon for him to lash out at such times despite any consequences it might incur. He opts to dwell in shadows for it hides him from gazes all that much better. Despite his unease at many an occasion he does have a sense of humor, however cryptic it may be at times. Physical Alex is a half-elf, but he opts to ignore the fact that he has human blood in him. He has a thick mat of blonde hair cropped relatively short for he wants to ensure it never gets too long (he dreads being caught by someone snagging a trail of hair behind him). The assassin bears a pair of bright blue eyes, however troubled they may look. He is of a shorter height; he sits at roughly a head shorter than the average human, and he is of a thinner build and consequently on the weaker end of the line (still quite capable of using his bow to be sure). Profession Alex, or “Mercury” as he so calls himself, is a fledgling assassin plain and simple. His endeavors into this profession started not too long ago and he enjoys the feeling of power it gives him. He finds that to hold another's life in your hands is very empowering and yet also some what humbling. He cares nothing for those he hunts, and takes delight in a clean kill. Abilities Given that which is required for his profession, Alex knows his way around short blades, and bows, but also is rather efficient in sneaking and fleeing. Marksman - Adept You are good with all manner of ranged weapons. A Master Marksman can hit even the smallest of targets. Stealth This skill shows that you excel at not being seen. You know how to pick-pockets, sneak by trained guards, or even get close enough to someone without being seen to perform a deadly backstab. Fleet of Foot - Feat You are very light on your feet and can run faster than most. |

Tools of the Trade Oath Bow ![]() When an arrow is pulled back onto the string, it whispers "Swift defeat to my enemies." If the firer swears to slay their target, the Bow's whisper becomes a shout, "Swift death to those who have wronged me!" Against such a sworn enemy, the bow seems to have a force of its own and it almost seems to aim itself, making the arrow fly truer Composite Shortbow Alex prefers to keep a healthy distance between him and his prey and is hardly the up close and personal type. This is partially due to his dislike of being gazed upon and his theory as that the use of a bow can put enough range between him and his foe that he would not be seen. Arrows The arrows that Mercury uses are kept in a quiver that is placed on his right thigh. Venom ![]() Alex's arrows are dipped in this lethal venom so that they might have an added kick. Longsword ![]() A longsword which he keeps in the event that he is compromised and is drawn into a melee. It is kept sheathed on his left hip. Shortsword ![]() This weapon is for the occasional kill up close where a longsword is too unwieldy along with a bow, but is rarely used in actual combat. It is kept sheathed on his back such that it is, when drawn, taken down and to the right and into a reverse grip. Chain mail ![]() After learning from experience that no armor did not always make for good health he went out of his way to obtain a suit of chain mail. So far he has been quite satisfied with the ease at which he can move in it and the protection it offers. Bag of Holding It is a bag capable of holding an infinite amount of items. Alex uses it to carry his loot discriminately. Aufdein Korso's Coin This coin looks like any other silver coin, other than the head's side of the item has a water drop on it instead of one of the leaders of Imythess. When placed on a person in some way, a small rain cloud will follow the person about while continually raining down on them, dampening their day. While this will mostly have a psychological effect on the enemy, it will dampen any fire spells cast near or by the individual holding the coin. ![]() Cloak Pets ![]() Hawk ![]() "Bandit" the Musfa One of the squirrel like musfa, Alex has trained her to be quite addept at stealing shiny things and is naturally capable of getting into some of the smaller places that Alex has difficulty squeezing into.
