| 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: |

Name: Todd Maelstrom Nicknames: Toddy Race: Human Alignment: Chaotic OMG It’s a Rambunctious Child LOOK OUT Element: Earth Secondary Element: Nature Age:Eight Height: Four feet, five inches (4’5) Weight: 95 pounds Skills: Acrobatics (adept), Athletics (novice) Flaws: Careless, Curiosity, Dark Secret (he has a stuffed rabbit plushie with which he sleeps), Naive, No Retreat, Overconfident, Reckless Feat: Fast Recovery Starting Equipment: Quarterstaff (nothing more than a simple walking stick that’s obviously nothing more than a tree branch, for my purposes), Cloak, Heal Appearance: Hair Color: Tousled, blonde hair grows like a rabid weed atop Todd's head. It's a bright golden color with a healthy sheen, but don't be surprised to see the occasional stick or leaf stuck somewhere in there. Eye Color: A deep, muddy brown, full of life and childish innocence and mischief. Style of Dress: Messy, messy, messy. Todd doesn't like formal clothes and prefers worn out clothes with plenty of holes and dirt stains so he can go playing without getting yelled at for dirtying himself so badly. Todd isn't really picky - as long as he's dressed appropriately for the weather, he won't make a single complaint, unless his clothes are too tight or don't fit him right or he's being forced to wear something dressy. Personality: Simply put, most of the time, Todd is an absolute handful. Having no knowledge of the world and wanting to learn all there is to know, he's become an incredibly curious child and there are no bounds on what he will do. Telling him no or that something is dangerous will only spur him on, just for the thrill and for the fun and partly for the 'nya nya!' moment that comes afterward. He hates being told he can't do something or that he can't participate, especially when his mother and father go on mission and doesn't bring him along. Todd wants more than anything to go on adventures and bring hope to the people of Chaon! The fact of the matter is, Todd has a yearning for adventure, he wants to explore, he wants to discover, he wants to fight! But, since he can't go on real missions, he settles for playing in the wilderness and with other children his age. He's got a wild imagination and makes up a lot of stories to make him sound courageous and strong, plus they're lots of fun. Sadly, these stories have given him a sort of reputation as not being the sort to believe when he says something normally considered wild. This, normally, wouldn't be much of an issue, except for the fact that some of the things are true. Todd just doesn't know what to do to make himself sound brave so that people respect him and treat him like a hero. Occasionally, Todd can become a bit too big for his britches, and this arrogance usually lands him in a bit of hot water. The fact that he's so curious and adventurous doesn't help - he'll be the first one to state he can go into the marsh alone at night and he'll probably be the one who starts calling for help when he's getting his hair chewed off. Although he does a lot of things that are dumb ("I bet I can last longer with my hand in that fire than you can!"), Todd is intelligent in his own right. Reading, writhing, arithmetic - he's okay at all that, but what he's really good at is reading people. For an eight year old, Todd is incredibly perceptive and can tell when something just isn't right. When he feels like something is off, he always voices his opinion, though people seem to shrug it off most of the time. Todd is an incredibly blunt, honest child, and doesn't hold back his thoughts just when he feels something is wrong - if he doesn't like someone or something, if he thinks you look fat in that dress, whatever is on his mind, he'll make it known. He has a tendency of holding grudges and being a bit mean to people he doesn't like, and he likes playing small pranks, too. He especially likes playing pranks on people he doesn’t like. Sometimes he gets insecure though, especially when he’s chastised for this. Bunny believes him, though, which he'll settle for. It's clear there's still a very naive, childish part to Todd, in the way he acts and in the way he still doesn't understand much about the world and thinks that the good guys will always wind up prevailing. All kids have to grow up sometime, though... it's just a matter of how long it takes. |
