Cool hearing from you guys . So far I mainly had ideas about a possible character for myself. I'll brain storm a little later. I was going to submit him just like the guidelines on the RP board tell you to. I just finished two 12 hour shifts so I'll be waiting for Monday (weekends don't go well for me), that's my day of doing stuff. Hey ya Meepy Lastly, I'm thinking about picking up a book to learn to draw. I've never seriously pursued it before. Any suggestions? -BF

Hey guys! I'm back, had a very looooong weekend. Afraid all I've done tonight so far is put what I feel should be the final polish on my character idea. Maybe that can nudge some ideas to do some stuff on the RP forum? Posting big long chara thingy in next posty. -BF

Name: Keth Summerfell Gender: Male Age: 25 Race: Nezumi (Burmecian) Class: Thief Alignment: Chaotic Good (Keth has no use for authority other then those close to him that he respects. Ever hear the saying ‘random acts of kindness’? That fits Keth. He might rob you or he might help you- it depends on the situation.) Height: 6’1” Eye colour: Very pale blue (i.e. ice blue) Hair colour & Style: Dark Black. His hair is very long, reaching to about his waist and is usually tied down. In the front, his hair tends to get long as well, covering part of his face.
Appearance: Keth’s fur is a neutral grey in color. He often covers up his right side of his face with his hair or with some clothing. The right side of his face is scarred by a jagged side-ways ‘S’ shape that passes just below his eye. No fur will grow over this damaged flesh and the scar will often still appear as angry as the day he received it whenever his blood pressure is up.
Clothing: Keth will wear different clothing when on a job in order to try to blend in. He will often wear a cloak to partially hide his face. What he typically wears when not on a job is a black cloak with the tattered remains of a navy blue dragoon jacket and matching shirt and pantaloon. He also has some black-dyed leather strips he winds around his legs and feet as well as some customized leather gloves. Sometimes Keth will wear a large leather bandage across the right side of his face. This is to cover up his scar to make him less recognizable.
Weapons: Throwing knives/spikes & daggers.
Starting Spells: N/A
Skills: Keth can dance! There have been a few parties he’s crashed in the past where he ‘worked the room’. Keth also has a limited knowledge in poisons and some of their cures as a result of working part time for a chemist.
Advantages:
Signature Weapon, Dagger, ?%: Keth’s favorite weapons are two 8” long mythril blades he calls the Razor’s Kiss
Ambidextrous: Keth has practiced and trained himself to use both hands equally well. This skill does not come naturally, however, and mainly applies to using knives.
Tenacious: Keth has survived much over his short number of years and tends to come out beaten, not broken.
Disadvantages:
Elemental Deficiency (Fire): Its more from his traumatic experience in the airship crash. Fire in significant amounts will tend to leave Keth flatfooted as he briefly relives that nightmare.
Trauma: Keth will almost refuse to ride anything airborne. To ride an airship, he quite literally would need to be drugged to do so safely. Likely he has a couple of small bottles tucked away that might do the trick if the need arises...
Overconfidence: More a character idea then anything else. The ‘game mechanic’ could work like ‘Fury’. Its mainly that Keth often has too much confidence in himself and will take on more then what he is capable of handling.
Traits:
Contacts (+): Having a background in some of the criminal element of Treno has given Keth a number of contacts. Secret Place (+): Keth knows a ‘safe house’ in Treno that is only known by a few others he used to associate with Getaway King (+): It comes with being a thief. Or at least it should! Bottomless Pockets(+): Keth has a lot of secret places to hide things like a pick or a small knife. The term ‘cavity search’ was invented to stop individuals like him from smuggling things!
Phobia (-): See also the Elemental Deficiency above. Hunted (-): Keth is wanted by some of the authorities in Treno Compulsion (-): Small little things that can become big problems in the wrong situations. Keth likes to smoke at times a substance similar to real life’s tobacco. So keep him away from flammables! The other thing he likes to do is juggle his knives or throw them at a chosen target. Any of these things can leave him vulnerable to surprises when he’s bored. Lone Wolf (-): Keth has worked around others, but has rarely worked with others and doesn’t have much patience for those who aren’t as stealthily adept.
Personality:
Bio:
Keth’s parents were both dragoons, the last of a royal linage whose proud traditions go back hundreds of years. When Keth was seven, they were on an airship bound for Lindblum. He was too young to remember why, but the ship went down just before the Bentini mountain ranges, northwest of Treno.
Keth was one of the few survivors and still bears a scar across the right side of his face from metal of the wreckage cutting into him as he was pulled free.
Having no known living relatives, Keth was adopted by an old friend of the family, an old Nezumi engineer named Jord Ironlyte. Over the years, Jord has tried to raise the boy right, but Keth never could stay far from trouble. Much to his adopted grandfather’s dismay, he always retained ties with some of the criminal element there in Treno. Jord tried to get him interested in chemistry and even got him a job, but Keth found he could make more money pick pocketing and doing other mischief.
Of course the mischief became much more serious as he became older and he became part of a gang’s ‘enforcement’. Mainly Keth’s job was beating up people who didn’t pay their gambling debts and being generally intimidating. Keth thinks it was his height more then anything else that got his boss to get him involved in this business.
Ironically, since Keth and some of the gang members started patrolling the neighborhood, overall crime has gone down. And as long as things run smoothly, life remains fairly peaceful.
When Keth was twelve, he became enamored with a fiery young human girl just a few years older then him named Serra Capello. She became like an adoptive sister to him until she left to complete her training as a Red Mage. Over the years, he’s kept in touch with Serra via mail until the letters stopped three years ago.
Now he’s received a strange letter from her, giving the feeling that she is in trouble. The letter said nothing specific, but it was full of nonsense involving events that never happened and people he’s never heard of. So now Keth has left his home of Treno, not being sure where to get started but knowing he has to help his friend some how..

Hey there! Nice to see we're still attracting new members. I'd happily join a RP with ya if you want to start one up here. We really need some active RPs on this board... You got any ideas for a RP? Little point of confusion though. When I do post a little something, should it be to this board or to the 'RP' one on the other website? -BF

Oh, Robbo...always the first to try to put nails in a coffin. 'Cept it's not a coffin, it's a gunport! You may recall the board saw some decrease in activity over the holiday season year before last, too...given that I'd been having trouble making time anyway after I got promoted at work and my weekly hours doubled and responsibilities greatly increased, one might reasonably expect that I'd be even busier over this holiday season. And for a week or so after, cleaning up the mess that was left over. However. I processed a new turn, writeup in progress - had to find the flash drive I store the data on. I've now uploaded it to my laptop and desktop as backups so it won't happen again. I also had to figure out what my password for Valedec, as I'd forgotten. I figured it out. Now. If you would please not be a Negative Nelly Debbie Downer, we can get down to business. =P Blue, I like your character sheet. While the RP could use another mage or two, someone who's not a plate-clad melee machine will be a welcome addition...besides which, you've obviously put a good deal of thought and effort into doing the research. It all looks good. =) Best way to contact Smauggie or I is via AIM or MSN.

Well, you can't blame me and a few other ROER members for thinking that board is dead when there are months between posts in some threads. Every time something new pops up I have remind myself what's happening in my thread, that's not good for an RP.
In any case, this board could use some active RP. The RP board here hasn't had any activity lately.

One last thing...just remember my inbox is open. No matter how busy I may be, I do at least log into RoER3 once or twice a week to check messages. I never got any messages from anybody asking what was up with RoER2 or why I'd stopped posting for a bit. Not a one. Or regarding anything, for that matter. All I meant to say is that it's a little premature to assume something's dead, gone, and abandoned unless you've at least tried to contact somebody about it. Now, Blue, I apologize for this cluttering up your welcome thread, I hope you're still interested in the RP, and if so - I look forward to hearing from you.

I think I need a sweat-drop animation for this one c.c Slow sort of works for me. Although I've got no excuse as to why I haven't written anything or contacted you yet Lancer. I've been dealing with a return of my depression, but at least I've been handling it professionally. Since I am my own doctor in every way but legal, I've been proscribing a lot of sleep and exercise. I also picked up a book for 'Idiots' to teach me how to draw so that's been keeping me busy but relaxed. Weekends are crazy for me since that is where all of my work for pay comes from. So I expect by Monday I'll do something -BF

Lancer, I can't get the AIM thing to work. Maybe you can PM me? I'll try tomorrow night and install regular AIM instead of Trillian.. if I can find my login. I'm too used to it being automatic. Its 2am on Tuesday, seems I've run out of week already.. -BF
