    Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live on Midorea?
    Who you could meet?
    What places you could discover?
    What awesome adventures are waiting for you?

    Well, here's your chance!


    In this role-play, you will play the role of Midoreans. You will be able to explore Midorea and do pretty much whatever you want. Be careful though, the deities might be watching!

    The plot of this role-play is open. Since it is based on the world of Midorea, the events happening in that world, and their actors, may have an effect on the role-play. And who knows, maybe the role-play can have an effect on Midorea too...

    Current season: Mid-Spring
    Current events/happenings: It's the anual Lotus Festival. Time to enjoy the blooming lotus flowers and have some fun!

Settings:
    This list contains a description of the important zones of Midorea, as well as previously explored areas. The ones with red names are not accessible at this time. Feel free to visit the others as you wish.

    Note that you are not limited to the places listed here. You can go ahead and explore other regions if you want. Although, most of those places are far away or hard to reach, so getting there won't necessarily be an easy task. If you "discover" a new region, its description will be added to the list as quickly as possible.

      Midorea: (map of the continent, map of the earth)
      Midorea is a large island country divided into 8 provinces. The southern-most province, where the Great Gated City can be found, is a neutral zone. The other provinces are the homes of each of the seven tribes. The last tribe, the Horai, also reside on a small island not far from the northern coast of Midorea. Finally, a small peninsula border by Naquirfis and the neutral zone is home to the nomadic people.
      The country shows a wide variety of climates and landscapes. The southern region is covered by jungle, while a large desert occupies the north-western corner. Large mountains also run through the country, along with many rivers and lakes.
      The population of Midorea is a strange mix of the seven larger tribes, each with their own look and culture, as well as smaller clans and of course a lot of foreigners. Though some conflicts arise from time to time, it is usually a peaceful place. The country is governed by Deities, and the Lower Deities often walk through the land to maintain order.
      A wide range of creatures and monsters can also be found living throughout Midorea. Some of them are peaceful and will stay far away from humanoid populations to live their own life, but others can be annoying, taking pleasure in stealing and destroying other people's property. It is common for Midoreans to hunt down the latter, for the safety of all.


      The Great Gated City: (picture)
      The Great Gated City, also known as Gangshek Geatuciutat, is the capital of Midorea. It is located in a neutral zone, in the south-eastern part of Midorea. It is the center of all activities in Midorea, where most of the festivals and celebrations are held. It gets it's name from the arid desert-like mountains that surround it, with only one river crossing them and the city. The river is the only way to access the Great Gated City and is heavily guarded.
      The weather in the city is warm all-year round (75-85°F), though it does get a bit cooler during the winter time (50-60°F). It can occasionally get cold enough to snow. Due to this mild weather, the landscape around the city is mostly composed of jungles, with many small creeks and rivers running through the city. Some people even say that there are more rivers than roads.
      The architecture is ancient-looking and could be compared to a mix of classical Greek, Roman, Mayan, Indian with a hint of Chinese and Japanese influences. Those peoples are only quoted for reference, as the architecture of the Great City was in reality influenced by the different tribes and their culture.


      The Mystical Island:
      The Mystical Island is located off the eastern coast of Midorea. It is said to be the residence of the Lower Deities, when they are not patrolling on Midorea. Very little is known about it, since normal Midoreans are not allowed to travel there.

Username: Alu Amahté Kemnebi
Character Name: Alu Amahté Kemnebi
Age: 29
Sex: Male
Description: Alu is the exact definition of what an Iquian should look like. Short stature, dark skin and a very lean build. He also has the markings of the B'asat on his face, which are different for each Iquian. However, his markings closely resembles the symbol that represent his tribe.
Bio: Alu is a young B'asat Iquian, however he was raised in the Great Gated City by Miu's family, after he was found abandoned near the outskirts. He also shares a very close bond with Miu, as they've grown up together. They usually can be seen preparing events and parties around the city, and are usually never seen apart.

Bio: Kitty was abandoned as a small child, as such she learned survival as the way of a rouge and a thief. As a drifter she rarely stays in one place for long, always on the move towards someplace new on the horizon.
Other: not that I can think of.

Username: Icewing
Character Name: Jacques Antoine Moreau(Jacques)
Age: 24
Sex: Male
Description: Jacques is around average height, if possibly leaning a bit to the short side, standing at 5'5". He has a rather thin build, and one could probably easily count his ribs if he ever forgot to wear a shirt(i.e. Never). Jacques has chest length pale brown hair that is incredibly shiny by normal standards. He generally wears his hair in one of four styles; pulling his bangs back, leaving it loose, putting it in a ponytail, or, if he's feeling fancy, French-braiding it. The fact that black eyeliner is often ringing his large dark brown eyes gives Jacques a very feminine appearance. Jacques has a rather thin face with a pointed chin and raised cheekbones that only add to his feminine appearance. It often appears that Jacques isn't in the best of health because of the dark circles underneath his eyes, but the dark circles really are only due to the fact that he often doesn't let himself sleep or eat when working on projects. Jacques has light olive coloured skin that often makes him look like he has a tan even though he almost never goes outside. Jacques has six piercings around the outside of his left ear, ranging from the base of his earlobe all the way to the cartilage at the top of his ear. There are three piercings in his right ear as well, and he also has snakebites. Jacques is obviously a fan of piercings. Jacques often paints his nails black, thus adding to his feminine appearance. He is obsessed with fashion, and thus is always seen in rather stylish clothes, generally wearing dress pants and dress shirts. It is rare to see Jacques in any clothes that could be described as 'casual', and he is often found fussing about peoples clothes choice if he sees someone wearing jeans and a t-shirt or something of the like.
Bio: Raised in a family of tailors living in the Great Gated City, Jacques chose to continue his parents profession, and also became a tailor. He had a rather good childhood, even if he found some of the more arrogant aristocrats to be annoying, and never had to live with a shortage of food or money. Because of his well-off upbringing, Jacques doesn't fully understand what it is like to live not knowing whether you'll get to eat the next day or not, and thus doesn't really have too much compassion for beggars or thieves. He grew up learning everything there is to know about fashion, and thus has a very clothes-obsessed personality. There is nothing he hates more than someone wearing mismatching clothes or clothes in a disheveled state. Jacques currently lives in the Great Gated City as a tailor for anyone who has the money to pay for the clothes he sells, and is quite well-to-do.
Other: Jacques keeps quite a supply of needles, thread, and measuring tapes in his pocket, one almost wonders where he manages to fit all of the things that end up in his pockets.

Username: Icewing
Character Name: Sue Richards
Age: 23
Sex: Despite what his name may make you think, Sue is male.
Description: Sue is rather tall, standing at 5'9" in height, but his thin, frail build doesn't make him have a very imposing figure. He isn't very muscular, and could live with putting on a few pounds. Sue's bones seem to want to jut out of his skin, especially at his elbows. He has a very gaunt face, with deep set eyes, hallowed cheeks, and a rather pointed chin. The dark circles underneath his eyes combined with the effect of his emaciated build give him the appearance that he isn't in the best of health, which he really isn't. But Sue will deny everyone who tells him that he looks unhealthy, and doesn't really care that he is dangerously thin. Sue has greasy blond hair that reaches his neck in length. Generally, he'll just pull his hair into a short ponytail so that it at least looks like he tried to make himself look nice. His eyes are a rather nice shade of blue, but the dark circles underneath detract from the colour of the iris. Sue has very pale skin that only adds to his wasted away appearance. Sue will generally wear loose tunics and pants made of rough cloth. He doesn't appear to care very much for his health or appearance.
Bio: Sue grew up all over the world. His parents were merchants, and sold goods from Midorea to tribes on every continent. One day, they were sailing back home, when they saw a ship in the distance. At first, they thought it was a friendly ship, and headed over to make contact. Only once they got closer did they realize is was a pirate ship, and by then, they were too close to escape. The pirates boarded the ship and ransacked it, stealing all the goods they were carrying. Sue's parents were killed at the time, and Sue himself was taken as a prisoner. The pirates kept him as a captive for almost two years, during which Sue got little to no food, and only enough water to keep him alive. When Sue was 18, the pirates were attacked by people on a ship from Midorea, and he was rescued physically, however, not mentally. He was still trapped in a past with the pirates, and thus rarely ate, thinking there was never enough food, even if there was. This obviously caused him some health problems, and, though he now eats a slightly more regular diet, he still forgets to eat every now and then, and thus is in such a wasted state. Sue opened an inn in the Great Gated City a couple years ago, and it has been running nicely, even if he has refused some customers. Once or twice, he even kicked people out of the inn because they were messing around with fire. Sue has a great fear of fire, probably associating it with bad memories.
Other: Despite the fact that Sue doesn't seem to take care of himself, the boarding house which he owns and works at is in impeccable condition, and very clean as well.

Username: Keylaleigh
Character Name: Keyla N’Faelin
Age: 22
Sex: Female
Description: Keyla is very tan with bright blue eyes and black hair that she keeps chopped very short. She dresses comfortably classy, wearing nice looking clothing consisting of vests, dressy shirts and slacks that is easy to run in if running is necessary. Her hands are in her pockets most of the time, and if they aren’t, they’re fiddling with something.
Bio: A gambler and a con, Keyla makes her living ridding fools from their money. She came to Midorea from a far-off land after she was chased out by the authorities, and she felt Midorea is where she could start new. She’s not quite sure if she wants to go back to her old life, or if she wants to start out with a new, more honest life. She has been jumping between the two for the last year, continuing with her gambling, but trying to not cheat people out of their money.
Other: Keyla is slightly fidgety and will always be playing with something in her hands.

Username: Maeve
Character Name: Kuma
Age: 15
Sex: Male
Description: Kuma is tall and athletic for his age, but he's still a teenager. He has yet to gain much of his muscular mass, and his limbs often seem disproportionnated compared to his whole body. He also has some growth crisis from time to time, seemingly gaining a few centimeters in a very short period of time, then keeping the same heigth for a few weeks before a new crisis happens. His voice has matured, but it can still take a high pitched tone when he becomes nervous. He keeps his messy black hair short, but he lets them grow longer during the colder months, often tying them into a small ponytail. His eyes are bright green, and his skin is tanned from all the time he spends outside. He wears simple clothing, mostly made of natural fibers and leather, with only a thin leather belt holding his sword like visible accessory.
Kuma lived on his own for a long period of time, or at least enough to learn that he couldn't rely on most people and could only really trust himself. Thus, he is cautious and suspicious when meeting someone for the first time. Then, if he judges that the person fits into the "good people" category, he will be friendly with them, although his social skills are not that developped. And he always prefers to keep some distance, even with people he considers like friends. If, however, he considers that the person belongs to the "bad people" category, he will do everything he can to get away from her. Once he made his opinion, it takes a lot of effort to change it. Kuma doesn't like standing still and waiting, preferring actions to words. He is also curious and loves learning new things, even if they are not that useful.
Bio: Not much is known about Kuma's past, and he rarely talks about it. He has no known parents, or at least he lived alone for a few years, surviving from whatever he could find in the Great Gated City. He met Maeve one year ago, and she took him under her wings for some miscellanious reason. It took a bit of time, but he finally accepted her help. He had been travelling with her since then, although he sometimes stays alone when the lower deity must go to some places where he can't follow her.
Other: Kuma can't resist sweets.


Malverne wrote:
Username: Malverne
Character Name: Mal Sh'Tora
Age: 18
Sex: Male
Description: Mal is pale with bright orange hair that's very windswept, tallish and with shifting gray eyes. Mal wears a black t-shirt, and a skintight orange and black striped longsleeved under the t-shirt. He has black jeans, rolled up to his knees, and wears sandals (sometimes) that are easy to kick off. Mal's smile is a tad too wide and too sharp to be really trustworthy.
Bio: Mal has always been a loafer, and doesn't really care much for the rules. The authority knows his name and his face, even though he seems to get away with any troublemaking. And because he gets bored very easily, he makes trouble very often. He doesn't steal, but he's a very smooth talker and can manipulate those around him to get him what he needs. Grifting and reading are his two go-to boredom banishing activities.
Other: When Mal smiles a bit too wide, be worried. Especially if you have something he wants.


Reika wrote:
Username: Reika
Character Name: Rei
Age: 18
Sex: Male
Description: That's fire, that is.
Rei is one messy, pyromaniac, mountain-kid. He's rather short, with a light or bouncy step, though it is often staggered. Hair is bushy, toned from brown to black. Eyes are a bright reflective gold. He wears a really loose, short robe tied with a vividly red sash, and cloth bandages over the chest. Rei always has blackened hands and feet, as well as a coal-smudged nose, all of which are covered in highly flammable substances. His eyebrows are short, half singed off. He has grey and black fox features, as are common in his homeland. He hasn't much strength or edumacation. Overall, he is most often covered in dust and messy clothes flapping about, derping around but always friendly.
Bio: Rei comes from the Land of the Fox People, a country somewhere in the North, and a place that is much colder. He grew up with his grandfather who made fireworks, and so helped out with the manufacturing of his family's traditional art. In the ancient days, their fireworks were the envy of many countries, and were used at the multitudes of festivals that their people had.
However, there are not many customers in a country that is now more dedicated to war. While his grandfather managed the shop, Rei would go out to perform on the streets to earn extra money. Fire-breathing was his specialty, as he found that easy to learn. But he also learned some rather entertaining acrobatic tricks and a bit of pipa and erhu music as well, both being traditional instruments.
Now that he is older, Rei sets sail to Midorea where he hopes to sell his fireworks and earn back the reputation for his family. Of course, being the direction-challenged mountain-kid that he is, Rei manages to circle all of Midorea and end up in the south end, the Great Gated City, making his trip take a few days longer than it should have.
Other: In his mountain home, the tradition was to carve the clan sigil upon a child coming into adulthood, and then use cleansing flames to cauterize the wound. But being of his lineage, the family name of which cannot be pronounced without vocal chords like his people, the fire couldn't damage Rei's skin at all and could not staunch the flow of blood. That is why special herbs had to be used to mend the wound, and bandages applied to cover the tender scars.
He often uses the powder on his fingers to spark a flame by snapping two fingernails against each other.

The Great Gated City at night was one of the most breath taking sights around. Moonlight made the many miles of rivers glow pale white, unless there was a new moon of course. At day the sun made it a bright yellow, nearly good, and that's when it was mostly alive, but at night only the fireflies and crickets seemed active. Yggdrasil was strolling back home from a walk, a long 'I was out all day' walk.

(i ugh...was not sure how to start..so here? fail)

Keyla was shuffling a deck of cards at this very moment, sitting under a streetlight as she watched the few passers-by in the City. Back in her homeland, more people wandered the streets at night. It was not the same here, however, and the streets were rather dull at night, as people found it better to sleep during these hours.

Keyla didn't feel the same way whatsoever, though, and continued wandering the streets. She loved the way the moon lit up the lazy river that wound its way by the city. Sometimes she partook in a bit of night fishing, but tonight wasn't one of those nights at all.

Tonight was a night to just walk.

Mal was walking around the city, not bored for once. He had his sandals dangling from one of his hands, while the other was buried deep in his pocket. Mal had his head thrown back, picking out a few of the constellations, and trying to remember the stories behind them. He pulled the book on astrology and the constellations out of his messenger bag, flipped to one of the page, and started reading. He loved the nighttime to be casual. During the day, Mal had to put on his nice face, but at night...he could be himself.

Mal didn't watch where he was walking, because he was reading about one of the more peculiar stories behind a constellation, and ran head on into another walker.

As Keyla walked down the streets watching the way the lights bounced off of the walls and streets, she didn't notice the person in front of her whatsoever until crashing into him, sending the cards in her deck flying out of her hands.

Silently cursing, she crouched down to pick up the cards, hoping that no gust of wind came through to scatter them even more. "Hey. How 'bout you watch where you're going?" She shouted, completely ignoring the fact that she was just as responsible.

Mal was in a good mood, so he didn't even bat an eyelid at the woman's annoyance. Instead, he tucked his book into his bag along with his sandals, and started helping her catch her cards before a wind took them away.

"Sorry about that," he said, smiling nicely, "Not many people walking around at this time normally. Here you go." He handed over the small handful of cards he'd grabbed.

"Next time I'll watch where I'm going," Mal promised the woman, "Have a good night." Mal gave the woman another kind smile, murmured a blessing in his native language, and moved past her down the street.

Keyla nodded, taking the cards and resuming her shuffling and walking. She had a feeling that the two of them would run into that guy again. She didn't exactly know how she knew, but her intuition was pretty good when it came to these things.

She walked and walked, shuffling her cards the entire time and pondering over this and that and the other thing. When she tired of walking, she sat down on the ground, pocketing her deck of cards and pulling a single silver piece out to flip it.

for a second she was unaware of others around her, she walked now mroe absent minded, and carelessly gingled a bag of sliver in her hand, perhaps some dinner or a nice small cloths shopping trip could take place, she was leaning more of rfood, her body aching for some tastysteak or somthing hearty. the silver jingled loudly, and she whistled and passed someone by.
