Venture - Sign Ups

Discussion in 'Fan Fiction' started by Winters, May 29, 2012.

  1. This is the story of a layabout Summoner who accidentally links earth, heaven and hell, endangering all of mankind, etcetera etcetera.

    The intro is on page 1345 of The Writer's Cafe if you want a little more of an in-depth, atmospheric explanation.

    Keep in mind that Summoning in this world is considered a lowly job, whereas swordplay and the like is much more prestigious.

    Here's the sign up format:

    Name:

    Age:

    Appearance:

    Personality:

    Profession: (e.g: Knight, wander, summoner or hell, even a bartender. I can fit pretty much anything in :D)

    Backstory: (May get disregarded if I find that your character could play a key part in the book, in which case I would create a story for him/her. Don't worry, I'll ask you before doing this)

    A few extra pieces of information you might want to know: The average age at which one starts a profession in this world is around 16. You can go a little younger then that, but I'd prefer it of you kept the ages anywhere from around that number to... Well... Anywhere above 16 :p.
     
  2. What do you need from me?
     
  3. The whole thing
     
  4. I have a character in mind for you, but a sign up would help me refine him.
     
  5. Sadly I'm crap at these xD
     
  6. Eagle, even of you're crap, any sign up is appreciated :D
     
  7. I'm no good at signups. :p

  9. Name: Simply goes by Infernius
    Age: 22
    Apearance: average height, dark hair, and a lean fast and moderately muscular build.
    Personality: Slightly a smartass, gets angry easily and often gets into fights he can't win. Will do almost anything for money if they pay enough.

    Profession: mercenary

    Backstory: raised in a dysfunctional family. He quickly learned to keep care of himself. At 15 he stole his fathers sword one night while his father was drunk and left to never come back. He always has an inner anger about his childhood and found he had no qualms about killing people so he became a mercenary. He was called Infernius because of an enchantment he got on his sword to make it flaming.

    Hope that was good enough
     
  10. A bartender?!?! Oh gosh now I have to sign up!!

    Name: Elaine Tay

    At work she wears the uniform(if there is one) or a black skirt with a light blue blouse/button up shirt. Wears anything but skirts or dresses day to day. Outside, she adds a black cloak with a hood.

    Personality: Mischievous at times and pulls jokes when things get awkward or quiet. Very, very curious, loves experimenting, friendly and not very sympathetic but kind in her own way. When it comes to an enemy she'll do almost anything, even seducing. (She's no innocent lamb lol) She is also protective of her close friends.

    Profession: BARTENDER!!!!  and if I can: Works/runs an apothecary during the day.

    Backstory: Lived in a village pretty happily until she was 10 then someone committed arson and the whole village burned down, her mother died during that event. Her father was disabled(lost eyesight in one eye and arm had to be amputated). Her and her father moved to a large town where they started an apothecary but it wasn't enough to sustain them when her father went into a depression when she was 17. He started gambling and drinking. So she took up a hostess..erm that kind of job...until she was 18 1/2 then became a bartender. These days her father stopping gambling but is still drinking a bit but she still takes care of him.

    Wears black hooded robes with streaks of red running up the sides, on the chest, a crest of an arrow lit with a flame.

    Personality: Quick to get into fights and reduce to mindless anger, snappy. Although angry, Paradox is sly and devious.
    However quiet when not flared into a rage, only likes to say things when they can cause controversy.
    Bares a long lasting grudge and will go out of his way to finish a job.
    Cares not for mercy and will kill the innocent if it pleases him.

    Profession: A Mage assassin (badass xD)
    Oh god, back story: Before Paradox was born his father was cursed. He was cursed to have magic of immense power run through his blood line. This magic ran into Paradox, unlike his father, he was unable to control the power behind the magic. At the age 10, Paradox killed his mother, his father and his 4 year old brother out of the blood lust the magic gave him.
    After a few days people noticed the missing family and Paradox was banished from his former kingdom.
    He spent the next eight years searching for a kingdom in which he could stay, along the way he earnt money by theft and selling the goods back to the original owner for inflated prices
    Paradox found himself in a kingdom but without any money, he had to turn to his dark past.
    He spent his life up to date mindlessly slaughtering people for money.
