So, yes, me here. Again. This is my blog, you know. If it counts as a blog. More and more recently that’s exactly what it has been. So in an attempt to preserve the original purpose, here are two of my more “advanced” roleplaying characters. This roleplay was your typical go-on-a-quest-to-save-the-world type of roleplay. Alanna is my strength-based knight, which is out of the norm for roleplaying, since most people like to work on speed — there’s only a certain number of hits you can score on a faster moving opponant, and frankly there’s a pandemic among roleplayers in which characters will rarely ever take really damaging hits. Anyways, enough of that short rant. Lylaith is inspired by her picture, and in my mind she’s always been Phobia’s twin sister. But not. Anyways, typical seductive, alluring, absolutely blood thirsty demon.
Also! I’m going to make a point of talking to you. Yeah, you, the one person that keeps showing up on my blog. I have ways of knowing this. I’m have a guess at who it is, but I’m not completely sure. Anyways, don’t you think I’m just the slightest bit wierd? I mean, I’m ranting my thoughts out to the empty space of the internet. Except now you occupy that one little space! Guess we’re two of a kind. Oddities. Don’t you just love being compared to me?

Call me Alanna. Just Alanna is fine.
I am 24
As if you can’t tell, I’m a female
It rained that wonderful day May 12
Just in case you believed in that, I’m a Taurus
My decision lies with the Chosen
I’m a human with ancient dwarven and shapeshifter bloodline. Got a problem with that?
My name is Alanna Lyress Korenta, descendant of the Adamithreel family, a famed dwarven clan throughout the land, although the Korenta family is not as well know. Ok. We’re not known at all. My life started, obviously, when my mother gave birth to me. Unfortunately she did soon after. My father, like most fathers of the time, wanted a boy, not a girl and was most disappointed and grieved. He was wracked with sorrow for a long time, but pulled himself together to take care of me. Inch by inch he began to realize the joy of life again, and my first memory was of him holding up a magnificent sword blade to the sun and laughing his deep throated laugh at the victory of another beautifully forged weapon.
My father was a blacksmith, but he was also a traveling merchant. Throughout my childhood, I saw a lot of the world. It was a beautiful and amazing place to say the least. Along the way, my father taught me the arts of his trade. It was a good life, if a little lonely. Still, no other disaster save the calamity of my mother’s death struck us. Life was good, even if we lived by a shoe string budget. I loved to be in the outdoors, loved to sleep underneath a carpet of stars, peering out between the dappled shadows splayed across the forest floor.
As my father and I traveled through the world, I learned much. My first skill was the love of horses. The way they flowed like water when they ran. My father wasn’t particularly skilled in this, but over and over again I observed the beasts until I had learned their language. It took a very long time, and I was almost at the Princess’s doorstep when I had learned enough to consider myself an expert. Naturally, I learned the art of smithing from my father, and making all these weapons I learned how to wield them as well.
So my life went for a good many years. Then my father, who was not quite the youngster when my mother had me, began show effects of aging. Living out in the wild had provided him energy enough to survive much longer than most people would have. But it was inevitable. He began to lose his eyesight, he wasn’t as agile, he wasn’t as steady in his forging. It pained me to see him like this, and I wanted to ignore it, but my father had taught me to not run away but to face everything with a strong face.
So ended my father’s merchant days. We settled down in the capital and after making weapons for endless days and getting more and more fidgety, I saw a notice for the job of the Princess’s horseback trainer. It excited me and with my father’s blessing I went to work for the castle.
It was a scary thing at first. Coming from the wilderness into the hustle and bustle of the castle was quite an eye-opening experience. I began to realize that there were things still left in the world to see. Of course when the king started eyeing me I was suspicious of him. He seemed like a creeper, but when I finally found out why he was looking at me so strangely, I was so astonished that the horse under me reared, I was breaking him in at the time, and I fell with an undignified plop onto to the cobblestones.
The king has promised to move my father to the court and have someone take care of him. I’m still astonished now, but I’m more than ready to go out and see the world again. Except…I get the feeling that this is more than it seems.
I have a special Ability and it is controlling rock/metal
Though, I already know of my exceptional strength, partly because of my bloodline, partly because of my past, and partly because of my trade. I can wield practically every known weapon, although my favorite is still my beloved scimitar. My trade is the forging of anything you can think of; Name it and pay for it, I can make it. I’ve become very skilled with the metal aspect of my power. Other minor little things I can do it sense a lie and rid my body of any ailments such as poison or disease, but not wounds. Those will heal as they should. Oh, and of course, my skill with horses! How else do you think I got to be the princess’s horse trainer?

My Weakness is my claustrophobia. Living out in the open has grown on me, and I can’t stand little spaces you can’t even turn around in.
Anything else? Nothing I can think of that you need to know.

Call me anything you like, hun. You won’t live to call me it again.
I am ageless
As if you can’t tell, I’m a female
It rained that wonderful day November thirteenth
Just in case you believed in that, I’m a Scorpio
My decision lies with chaos. And myself, naturally.
I’m an ancient siren. Got a problem with that?
There’s so much to tell about me! Won’t you stay a while and listen? I’m sure you’ll never want to leave! Now let’s start off near the creation of the world, hmm? They say that everything was created then included my sisters and I. We were the ancient sirens, messengers of destruction and death, if you believe what they say. I would, wouldn’t you? For years upon years we sang our enchanting songs, luring not only sailors, but great heros to their demise. Oh how fun it was! All those innocents, all those beautiful bloodcurdling screams.
But Civilization continued. The world of man and the world of the “civilized” mythics grew. They learned. They warned others of us. Soon all those pretty boys and their glittering swords didn’t visit anymore. We were lonely. The world of the ancient race was passing away.
One by one my sisters perished into the abyss of the death we had been created to bring. Some of them were trapped, entombed in cages of great magic, terrible sorcery. I knew it was no longer safe to stay, oh what a sad day. I left my lovely island to roam the land, wrecking chaos and pandemonium as a revenge. Revenge. It was a nice time, not as nice as my islands, but almost. People hunted me, but I was the wiliest of all my sisters. They weren’t going to catch me! No indeed.
But…they did. The greatest sorcerer the world had seen tracked me down. She was a wise one yes, but nearing the end of her life. Apparently I had killed her son sometime during my long life. Don’t remember. But she did. And oh boy, she tracked with a vengeance. It was the most fun I had in a long time. Traps and spells and enchantments galor! She got me alright. And she was intelligent, I’ll give her that. We fought quite the epic battle on the edge of the tomb she had constructed for me. Tons and tons of a rare metal called adamantine engraved with magical symbols and then strengthened with enchantments. Quite a piece of artwork. Except…I really didn’t feel like being trapped in there for eternity. So we fought. A week long battle it was. She won. I think she cheated.
She threw me, still writhing I think, into the tomb and slammed it shut. As soon as she did so, she died. I stayed in the tomb for such a long time. I counted a lot of sheep. It was a cursed place for sure. But then one day, my savior came! He was a handsome man…well, at least he was until I was done with him. I foolish little whatcha call ems. Right, archeologist. He dug through tons of rock that the sorceress had piled on top of the tomb until he reached by coffin. The adamantine drew his eyes, and he opened the coffin. Well, that was the end of him.
But there was something else trapped with me, a corridor down. It opened up into a little cave. In it was a beautiful shimmering rock. After so many years, I was still curious. Besides, I could feel the darkness rolling off of it. When I touched it…I felt many of my powers drain away, but I also felt new power rushing through me. It was a stone of Gula Gurtha. With that, I set back out in the world to wreck havoc again. It sure was fun to see everyone’s eyes widen at me. Wow. I was a legend suddenly!
I wasn’t sure how many years had passed, but a lot had changed and a lot had stayed the same. Through the cries of my victims, I heard of what, an evil queen? Surely not as evil as me! And then the Seven Chosen ones, the Maelael Aelaestaelor. Personally, I could care less who the heck they are, as long as they don’t interfere with my fun! And I plan to have plenty of fun. Plenty.
I have a special Ability and it is controlling Gula Gurtha to a certain degree.
Though, I already know of my amazingness! Well, where to start, my love? I radiate the most intense emotions. Passion. Fear. Anger. Hatred. Despair. Pain. I can radiate it to such a high degree, that anyone too close is permeated by the emotions. If you’re good enough, maybe you can fight it off, but you’ll still be quite confused. And my aura, it radiates darkness and disease that can weaken you or dampen magic effects on me, especially if you’re a little scone of the light. Nasty things. Because of this aura I am immune to all diseases, included the Gray Death. Some people said it drove me crazy though. Crazy? Me? No, how could you think of such a thing. I’m perfectly sane. Oh! And of course, my beloved soldiers. I can summon skeletons and the undead to do my bidding. Oh how obedient they are! Of course, they have no magic, but they can only be killed a certain way. I can summon roughly ten to fifteen at a time, depending.
My favorite things are
The pain of others
Darkness
Despair
Terror of others
Weaklings
My least favorite things are
Goodie two shoes
Arrogance
Good health
Bravery
Light
My Weakness is the extremely rare and extremely expensive metal called adamantine.
I have a little secret and it is that my blood can cure the Gray Death if it hasn’t progressed to far.
Anything else? Oh yes. I forgot to mention didn’t I? My tongue extends out to at least ten feet. Beautiful isn’t it? When it does so, it transforms into a little beasty, a purple-gray snake. Its bite causes slow pertification and a bolt of pain, but it’s not something that the local apocrathy can’t cure. My litte snakey has a bite of steel, and it’s impossible to hack off, although if you hurt me, I’ll withdraw it. Yummy.
