In-Character
Read the following prompt:
The rhythmic lull of hoofbeats are a marching drum to the small group of pioneers and variety of folk you have found yourself amongst, packed into a wobbling wagon. The rolling plains of the Southern Reach and a clear sky stretch out all around you, the buzz of excited chatter a dull wash in your ears as your mind strays to your former life and what has led you here to new lands.
“Nervous?”
You blink, returning to the present moment. A kindly older woman sat near you is smiling warmly with a crinkle to her eyes.
“I can tell it’s your first time. Still remember mine,” she flashes a grin and leans in.
“Tell me my dear, why have you come to the Reach?”
How do you respond (in character)? (150 words minimum)
"To follow my calling, I suppose. Is this not where adventure is, anyways? That's what I hear, at least. My mother was a knight. I wish to follow in her footsteps...- uphold the code, protect the innocent, find the unfindable..."
A slight pause as he catches the confused look on the lady's face. She's candid with her thoughts, it seemed.
"Oh. Yes, she was knighted. Far before I was born."
The woman inquires further. He'd reply with a melancholic smile.
"... No, she isn't waiting for me - she went away some time ago. She'd taken a ship to the Mist Isles on some new missive and, well... those Isles are synonymous with sirens, aren't they?"
A shrug from the woman, she provides a more rational counterargument. It isn't one unfamiliar to him, so he - she asks his name before he can respond.
"Maliketh, ma'am."
The woman's small-talk turns to the knighthood, now. Maliketh would shake his head.
"No - I haven't found a court or king or... anything mortal to pledge my loyalty to. So I do as my mother, I am in service to Facet, the Restrained. Upholding his code as I make my way through the Reach, soon enough."
Maliketh tilts his head at her question.
"Well, not yet... but I aim to embark on one once I'm at the Reach. There's plenty quests and adventure to be had there, right? Even just... minor acts."
She nods, ending the conversation with some pleasantries. He smiles back, turning his thoughts back to the future. The Reach. The Spire. The Lady of the Lake... there were so many things yet to discover and chase after. As these thoughts swirled in his mind, Maliketh looked out to the greenery and blue skies, taking it all in. A vast, new land just waiting to be explored. Soon, his name would grace the songs of bards and tales of storyweavers - at least, that's what he hoped. For now, he settled back, waiting impatiently to reach his destiny.
Character Name: Maliketh
Character Race: Human (Valk)
Character Age: 20
Brief Physical Description: Maliketh bears defined facial features, all the more spotlighted by the cleanshaven look. His hair is black and cut short, his eyes a dark brown shade. Underneath his armor and usual garb, he has a pale, spotless complexion, one that exaggerates the shade of his eyes and hair. Speaking of his garb, it's most often a mix of black, grey, or dark brown - whatever is available. He doesn't yet have much interest in fashion, and grabs whatever looks "acceptable" on his tall frame.
