Gather 'round children, it's story time

Post » Fri Nov 01, 2013 2:37 am

So I wanted to start another roleplay character, but to truly RP character (like I do with all my RP characters, I want a very in depth background story.

I decided to do something a little different and try to bring the community together on this one. I got the idea from a very old writing assignment I had years ago.

The assignment went like this: I write a couple sentences, then my writing partner would pick up where i left off and write a couple of relative sentence, then i would pick up where my partner left off, and so on and so forth.

I'll be updating the story and giving credit to the authors as it progress.

My goal is that by the end of a couple days we will have a very interesting story and hopefully a unique class/build for the character

please... serious posters only...

Rules:

- Every "add-on" should be numbered in the beginning of the first sentence (ie: ...(5)blablablablabla...)

- If you wish to add to the story begin with ... and end with ... (with the color and bold)

- Write around 3-10 sentence, a little more or a little less is fine, just don't go crazy. 1 paragraph at most. Remember the point is to give someone else something to work with

- Avoid any extremely large time gaps, try to just cover a small time-frame in the characters life

- Allow a couple people to write an add on before you write another one

Race: Argonian

Name: Bun-Za

---(for the sake of getting us started, I'm going to write quite a bit, don't use this as an example of how much you should write)---

(1) Bun-Za grew up in a quiet home on the borders of Skyrim, far away from any other kids to play with and even farther away from any type of city. His mom, Keel-Rat, was the only parent he ever knew, and to make matters worse, she was a very bitter old lizard. The only company Bun-Za ever had were the strange old women of all races his mother would occasionally have over. Bun-Za never thought much of them and the eerie glances they would shoot him followed by peculiar whispers, he simply enjoyed passing the time by playing in the lake and chasing salmon. This is exactly what Bun-Za was doing the day before his 10th birthday, he was off at the lake chasing salmons again to get away from the house full of cruel mean old women. As the day was winding to an end and Bun-Za was slowly making his way back to the cabin, he noticed something a bit strange. The cabin was completely empty, no annoying heckling, and no creepy old hags, but the silence was the scariest part, it was enough to send shivers straight down to the end of his tail. As he was about to crawl into bed, he felt a cold hand grab him from behind and hit him over the head. He woke up bound to a chair with his hands behind his back in a horrifying room. Terrifying tools and all types of weapons hung from the ceiling, strange symbols were written all over the walls in what looked like blood, the air was thick with the smell of death and decay, and he was surrounded by several hooded dark figures. One of the figures spoke out, something about her voice was familiar. She was saying something about a covenant, but what really got Bun-Za worried was when he heard her mutter something about a sacrifice. Almost instinctively he started screaming for his mother. The woman that was speaking silenced him with a fierce slap across the face. She then removed her hood to reveal that it was his mother. It all came together, in a blink of an eye for Bun-Za: the secluded life, the strange women, the cold-hearted mother, this talk of a covenant... His mother is a witch, and he is her twisted sacrifice. He realized he had to do something, and he had to do something fast...

...(2: Hevnoraak) And so, Bun-Za made a desperate plea for help in his mind. A call to the mythos aroused the attention of Clavicus Vile, Prince of Wishes. Time seem to freeze as Bun-Za heard the voice of Clavicus Vile in his head. "Well, well... Quite a predicament you found yourself in eh, little-one? You're in luuuuck! That's right! Ol.' Vile can save you. You see, I offered your mother arcane knowledge... yet she has not held up to her end of the deal... Perhaps you can atone for that? Perhaps I can put you to proper use... in time. Perhaps, my little argonian; perhaps ol' Vile can save you... right now?"

Bun-Za was absolutely panicked, and in a state of shock. So many things happening at once, his young mind simply couldn't process everything. He was desperate, and his instincts for survival took over. "Yes Vile! I will do anything, please save me!"

It was at that moment, a single, towering, http://i.imgur.com/p8wvZi8.jpg materialized right in front of Bun-Za's mother and the rest of the witches. Before they could even react to this super-natural miracle, the Dremora slaughtered all the witches. He soul-trapped Bun-Za's mother specifically... after brutalizing her corpse... all in front of panicked, confused, and completely in-shock little Bun-Za

The Dremora then untied Bun-Za, and said...

More like community imput for a character. It's structured an awful lot like a forum game, though.

We had a thread like this not long ago. The idea is basicly post a story you've made up and see how other RPs.

Personally, I'm not gonna do that... I do not post "walls" but I can easily post a 15-20page worthy story on one character...

~Edit~

Oh wait. He wants us to add-on to his story...

Yes this is a forum game then.
