Oh look, a quest! - Grumblesnakes - 06-17-2015 This quest is going to be a bit of a mystery, friends. Instead of the usual jumping right in intro post, I’m going to get your info first and dive in from there. This will be a writing quest, it’s just going to be a bit of a surprise, yeah? Trust me, it’ll be fun. SO. No limit on the number of entries, aside from the usual one entry per player. However! The Fairy Godfather has a few other rules. It doesn’t matter if your character has been posted. There are no prior activity requirements. But no entrant may have any trace of unnatural color. No entrant may have participated in any previous quest (the character, not the player. Player can have been in as many as you want, the Fairy Godfather doesn’t care about that.) And no entrant may have any trait at all. Not genetic, not kingdom-granted, nada. Also, keep in mind that there’s a possibility of defect acquisition through participating in this quest, as usual. One last thing: this is not a speed-based quest. You will be given specific timeframes (24 hours, 48 hours, the weekend, whatever) and elimination will NOT be based on who is fastest or slowest. Elimination will mainly be based on your creativity, your horse’s interactions with the world and the characters she* finds there, and the choices she makes. Still interested? Good! Here’s what the Fairy Godfather needs from you to get started:
You have 24 hours to enter. Good luck! * Character can be male. Picking one gender is just less awkward than typing s/he all the time. -_- RE: Oh look, a quest! - Erebor - 06-17-2015 RE: Oh look, a quest! - devin - 06-17-2015 Does the above mentioned rule about participating in the last 3 writing quests apply here to the player? RE: Oh look, a quest! - Grumblesnakes - 06-17-2015 It does not. I asked Cassi. Because there are no limits to the number of entrants, the rule in question does not apply. RE: Oh look, a quest! - Syl - 06-17-2015 Name and physical description of your character - Syl is a hybrid mare, through and through. The most recent injections of pure blood into her family history (which was a few generations ago), were Falabella, Friesian, Shetland and Anglo-Arabian. So I sort of imagine her as a finer boned, short friesian without the feathering (she's only 14 hh). She's not terribly powerfully built, because she did have to spent her younger years scrounging to survive. Because of this huge mix in heritage I don't imagine her as being particularly pretty, but because ~*~*magic*~*~ she's not a huge mess conformation wise like some hybrid can be. Her eyes are an ordinary brown, and her coat is black tobiano, with a pattern that looks something like this http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2011/046/a/8/black_and_white_tobiano_paint_by_venomxbaby-d39mwu0.jpg (the important part is the dark head, other parts of the pattern could be subject to change, obviously she doesn't look like the horse in the picture other than the coat xD). She doesn't have any particular scars or anything, but hey, maybe after this quest that could change. xD Where your character is and what she is doing when, as per quest-usual, she gets plucked out of her ordinary life by some magical being and thrown into adventure - Well, I know it hasn't officially happened yet, but since it will, and I'd like to have her time line make sense, this will happen after she's gone home with Kreios to Orange Country. I'll say she's exploring the canyons in Orange County when she gets whisked away - she finds a cave in one of the canyons, and is just going in to investigate. Tell me a little bit about your character. A little about her personality, her history, significant influences, whatever you think is important. - Syl was born in the meadow to Sand, daughter of Kars and Elite. Sand was looked down upon by her parents for not being special (no traits or colours), and when she saw that her daughter (that she'd had with Azriel, then king of the Valley), was also not special, she abandoned her, but not before ranting to her about their 'glorious' family history. Young Syl was horrified by what she heard and left Beqanna immediately and spent a great many years roaming the lands outside of Beqanna without any particular intent in mind. She heard more rumours about her family during that time, especially about the massacre that Elite instigated and generally became disgusted with her family. Despite her disgust towards her family, she gradually began to feel a pull back towards the land where she was born and eventually she gave in and made her way to the field. She's particularly terrified of someone figuring out that she is the granddaughter of Elite, and associating her with all of those tragedies (never mind the fact that she had nothing to do with them, lol), and will do her best to never go to the Valley. In the field she met (and is currently talking to, technically), Kreios, who is both a part of the Deserts, and the lead stallion of Orange Country. He has offered her a home in his herd land, and she will join his herd in the next post or two, which is why I would like this to happen after she has gone there, time-line wise, just to not cause confusion. She is nursing the tiniest crush on him at the moment, and thinks he's handsome. Personality wise she's a little unsure of herself and self-conscious, but I think once she's tested, she will start showing some hidden steel. She has more strength than she thinks she does. xD If she does end up getting something in this quest she will be terribly conflicted about it, since she will associate it with 'special-ness' and therefore with her mother and her grandmother. Part of her will be happy that she is finally special, but part of her will be horrified to have become potentially more similar to her grandmother. - Here's a link to her thread with Kreios. http://beqanna.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=1653 Your three favorite colors. - Blue (especially deep, bright blues, like royal blue or cobalt blue), Purple (again, deeper, bright purples, like royal purple or even violet, which yes I know is in-between blue and purple :| ) and darker greens. Go roll the baby stat generator and give me the first number. - 10 RE: Oh look, a quest! - erling - 06-17-2015 Name and physical description of your character (color, age, gender, build, eye color, any important scars/markings, the usual) Erling. I'm bending time here and saying he's about 6/7. He's of average height, about 15.3-16h, and stocky. He is very gray - he was born a dark dapple gray and is a slightly lighter shade now. Has gray eyes. He has no scars or markings but is perpetually dirty and his mane/tail matted. Where your character is and what she is doing when, as per quest-usual, she gets plucked out of her ordinary life by some magical being and thrown into adventure He's probably walking or standing around the meadow trying to talk to someone. Tell me a little bit about your character. A little about her personality, her history, significant influences, whatever you think is important. Or, if she’s active, feel free to include a link to a recent post or two. Or a picture that feels like her, or whatever you think will help convey who she is. Yes I know this is vague. Sorry about that. Roll with it. It’s going to be okay. This bit isn't life or death or anything. If you have any questions, feel free to ask on OOC board or in cbox or what have you. He was born to Adolf and Desirae, neither of whom were big on parenting, and kind of raised himself because of that. Also because of this he's pretty naive. Very outgoing - always trying to make friends and meet new people but he is rarely able to because he's pretty annoying and he also turns others gray on accident (which he does by touching them, BUT IT'S A DEFECT). But he means well. Just imagine that guy who's always like HEY WHAT'S UP HOW'S IT GOING and everyone's like, oh, it's Steve again. Great. Your three favorite colors. You the player, not you the character. Be as specific or as general as you like, as long as you’re using words instead of numbers. No wait, feel free to use numbers too if you want, because for example, “puce” means very different things to different people… A bright pink (#ff96ca), a nice royal blue (#4169e1), and a mint-y green (#bced91) Go roll the baby stat generator and give me the first number. 84 Sorry if the formatting is messed up at all, I'm on my phone RE: Oh look, a quest! - Sinder - 06-17-2015

RE: Oh look, a quest! - Dagny and Olivier - 06-17-2015 Name: Dagny Age: Weanling Gender: Female Physical Description: Abstang hybrid; slim and leggy baby build with fluffy mane & tail and dished face. Chestnut sabino - not minimal but not a lot of white (white blaze, chin spot, white legs, some white on belly - classic sabino) with hazel-greenish eyes. No scars yet. Where your character is and what she is doing when, as per quest-usual, she gets plucked out of her ordinary life by some magical being and thrown into adventure: Dagny is playing with her twin, Olivier, in the Tundra. They usually like to play in the wide-open spaces, but it's not unusual to find them frolicking in the deepest secret caves or on the cold ocean shores. When they're tired, they sleep together under the watchful eye of their father Brennen. One idyllic childhood - check. Tell me a little bit about your character: Dagny is brave and impetuous, a carefree little girl who's never really met a stranger. She'd be the child who insisted on wearing her dress-up play clothes to school, complete with those funny fake wings. Or the teenager with the pixie haircut died all the colors of the rainbow. Always smiling, always adventuring, though with a crazy quickfire temper when you get her riled. She and her twin were brought to be raised by their father as soon as they were weaned, but he dotes on them and they don't lack for love or care. Your three favorite colors: sunshine yellow (#FFCC33), pomeroy blue (#5599CC), and navy (#000033). Go roll the baby stat generator and give me the first number: 33 RE: Oh look, a quest! - munroe - 06-17-2015 name: munroe gender: male age: 3 breed: mustang hybrid color: classic champagne dun with hazel eyes build: currently a little too thin for his build; lean and kind of straggly-looking; currently no outstanding markings/scars current setting: He would currently be staying as close as he possibly can to Yael, but far enough away to not interfere with her newly adopted daughter. So they would probably be out and about somewhere near an oasis where he would be silently hanging back behind the pair. personality: He's very standoffish and immediately distrustful of strangers. He doesn't speak very well and he's considerably still rather feral sometimes. He had been abandoned in the meadow and adopted by a kind deaf mare so he never really learned how to communicate well. But during a particularly harsh winter, his adopted mother had been viciously attacked and killed by a pack of wolves. After falling incredibly ill and hungry and cold, Yael happened upon the wild boy in the meadow and began the process of taming him. He's fiercely loyal to her and those she cares for and she is pretty much the center of his world. But he found himself in the middle of a freak sandstorm one day and he was lost to Yael. He has finally found his way home now after months of wandering the harsh desert. favorite colors: any blues, black, and lighter greens baby stat number: 89 |
