I would like to hear the history of your realm or the history of your character. There are several realms on here and I'm sure someone has the info on it, or something close. An example; Where did the Empire of the Dragon come from? What made it necessary for it to rise into an empire?
I am the bard of Ravenwood so hearing and telling stories is kind of my job. Also my job is, as Shadus so eloquently put it in another thread, "Sing bit sing!"
Here is the dirt on Ravenwood this has been our story for awhile;
There was once an evil and cruel king who ruled the land and he held dominance over all the lands about the raven's wood.
He placed any humanoid that was not human in a work camp building military structures around the land. He also placed any sympathizers with the rebellion in these camps.
A small group of rebels fought for many years and slowly gained support from every province in this kingdom.
Raising a large enough army to attack every major work camp in the kingdom, the rebels freed the elves, dwarves, orcs, kobolds etc. etc. from these work camps and armed them with weapons. In there former lives these creatures may not have gotten along but the cruelty that they were subjected to together made them as one people, with one heart and one voice.
There were still elves in the Raven's wood at this time but they were in hiding and few of number, they came out to join the armies of the freed peoples against the armies of the Evil King.
The general of the army was Named St. Cameron and led the army in a campaign that lasted 7 years against the Kingdom.
St. Cameron was a vicious general and Claimed, "every self aware being, creature, or spirit that will not join us and stands with the King shall die." In battles with the Kings troops usually not one enemy soldier survived. Due to this he was given the honorific Cameron Saint of War.
Driab the indextrous infiltrated the Kings castle with a small contingent of troops and prepared the gates for the final assault.
The Lady Raven lead the Dwarves through underground tunnels into the inner sanctum of the keep. Lady Raven, Cabree and Namrog defeated the King's guard and slew the king.
The war ended with the death of the king and the along with him the majority of his armies. St. Cameron died in the final assault.
Driab the indextrous, Lady Raven, Cabree and Razzelin carried the body to the Raven's wood and placed it upon a pyre to be burned.
Before the still and cold body was lit, however it rose from the pyre and the spirit of Saint Cameron was returned to its body.
"My father was an Archon of great might and because of his grace I have been restored to my body. For me the chains of death have been broken asunder, I have a new name and it is......."
Well there is our little story,
I would like to hear personal and realm stories. For some reason the persona stories and the realm stories always interested me a lot. Even if you don't have a story then what race is your character?

I myself am a half-dwarf. Growing up taller than the Guy less hairy than most girls I didn't quite fit in. After a fairly bad cave in at the lower tunnels I became afraid of dark small places. I also am not that strong so unlike my nearest and dearest kin I could not use the forge. I didn't belong so I set out to the surface to find out where I did. It's all known from there. I love you Ravenwood!

Ilora Stardark is of one of the noble families the Bloodnight pirate clan. The clan fell to trechery, leaving two survivors; Ilora, and another young Pirate Queen, Hitomi Dark-moon. The "sisters" hold together now, and Ilora has changed from the spoiled wench she was to something darker. She's become an avenger ... she wants to destroy those who destroyed her clan, her family, her way of life. At the same time, she would lay down her life and abandon her quest for vengence to keep the clan alive--she will protect Hitomi at all costs.

My life began on a farm on the outskirts of the dread wood and south of bloody marsh.
My father was a well known drunk who left my mother and I to fend for ourselves as he set out for the city of valagar.
I grew to my early years with a man who cared not for me nor my mother, but only for himself.
One morning a young man came striding out of the dread wood where none had come before in all my memory.
He came singing a song of some far off land, in a foreign tongue for which I had no knowlrdge.
Just before he passed me on the road he stopped and turned to me, he spoke of his lost land where all were accepted as they are.
I followed him to this very battle we now call ragnorak and fight here amongst my brothers where none is less and none are more.

well, like my sig says, "i am Witesh, daughter of Fenrir, grandaughter and companion to Loki, sister of Hati and Sköll." and for those of you not so familiar with norse mythology here is a short breif...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fenrir
Fenrir- is a wolf, the son of Loki and the giantess Angrboða. Fenrir is bound by the gods, but is ultimately destined to grow too large for his bonds and devour Odin during the course of Ragnarök. At that time he will have grown so large that his upper jaw touches the sky while his lower touches the earth when he gapes. He will be slain by Odin's son, Viðarr, who will either stab him in the heart or rip his jaws asunder according to different accounts.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loki
Loki- he mythical Fire-giant/deity of mischief in Norse mythology, a son of the giants Fárbauti and Laufey. He is described as the "contriver of all fraud". He mixed freely with the gods for a long time, even becoming Odin's blood brother. The trickster character is a complex character, a master of guile and deception. Loki was not so much a figure of unmitigated badness as a kind of celestial con man. He would often bail out the gods after playing tricks on them, as illustrated by the myth in which he shears Sif's hair and then replaces it, or when he is responsible for the loss of Iðunn's apples of youth and then retrieves them again. Loki is an adept shape-shifter, with the ability to change both form (examples include transmogrification to a salmon, horse, bird, flea, etc.) and sex.
Hati and Skoll- Skoll chases the horses Árvakr and Alsviðr, that drag the chariot which contains the sun. Hati chases Máni, the moon until the time of Ragnarök when they will swallow these heavenly bodies, after which Fenrir will break free from his bonds and kill Odin.
I am called a werewolf by some but im not like the monsters of the legends. i can change form at will and i have complete controll of myself at all times... ive lived deep in the forest all of my young life with my keen smell and ability to hunt and track becoming my best of allies. my grandfather loki was sent to earth stuck in the form of a ferret by odin after his screams from the snake venom on his face almost tore the world apart... loki came to me, his grandaghter, to spend this time with... and to play tricks on every now and then as expected of loki...

Name: Kyrian Rhodes
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Class: Assassin
Alliance: The Monarchy
Personality/Attitude: Laid-back. Almost kind, he seems suave and debonair, even when carrying out his assignments; a trait that the Council frowns upon when in the field. His personality takes a drastic change, however, when his allies and loved ones are threatened, becoming enraged and like a berserker.
Appearance or Pictures:
Hair: Brown, wavy, semi-long but thick
Eyes: Vivid Green
Clothing: (refer to picture for story)
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 130 lbs.
Relatives/Family:
Father=Azrael
Mother=deceased
Weapons: Gifts of the Archangels (refer to custom weapons post)
Abilities: Intercept spirits and acquire their abilities.
Background/History: Not much is known about his past except that he is the son of Azrael and a mortal woman who died giving birth to him. He was discovered by the League in the heart of Faldaire, living within the catacombs of the Temple of God. He quickly rose through the ranks, eventually becoming a Master Assassin. His talents are legendary and he has sent many to his father's clutches. It is told that he can kill a target and it could be days before they know they are dead; they say he decides when they eventually fall.
RP sample: The target this time was a noble from Thorenval. The vile man had abused his last subject; the envoy was upon him now. Walking through his expansive garden, Hitero, as he was named, had just finished quelling those mongrels of advisors and their complaints; the serfs could shrivel and perish for all he cared. A sudden pain in his neck caused him to rest a moment to massage the aggravant agony away. Thinking no more of it, he retired to his chambers for the night. The next day his attendent arrived to wake him and make his bed. "That's odd, since when did he have red sheets?" she thought. Touching his shoulder, she rapidly recoiled when she felt a wet sensation from his robes; the bed and his clothes were soaked in his blood. The son of Death had struck again.......(just for a suggestion, you don't have to use this but I thought it might be helpful. Have fun! )

Ilora Stardark is of one of the noble families the Bloodnight pirate clan. The clan fell to trechery, leaving two survivors; Ilora, and another young Pirate Queen, Hitomi Dark-moon. The "sisters" hold together now, and Ilora has changed from the spoiled wench she was to something darker. She's become an avenger ... she wants to destroy those who destroyed her clan, her family, her way of life. At the same time, she would lay down her life and abandon her quest for vengence to keep the clan alive--she will protect Hitomi at all costs.

Fenrir- is a wolf, the son of Loki and the giantess Angrboða. Fenrir is bound by the gods, but is ultimately destined to grow too large for his bonds and devour Odin during the course of Ragnarök. At that time he will have grown so large that his upper jaw touches the sky while his lower touches the earth when he gapes. He will be slain by Odin's son, Viðarr, who will either stab him in the heart or rip his jaws asunder according to different accounts.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loki
Loki- he mythical Fire-giant/deity of mischief in Norse mythology, a son of the giants Fárbauti and Laufey. He is described as the "contriver of all fraud". He mixed freely with the gods for a long time, even becoming Odin's blood brother. The trickster character is a complex character, a master of guile and deception. Loki was not so much a figure of unmitigated badness as a kind of celestial con man. He would often bail out the gods after playing tricks on them, as illustrated by the myth in which he shears Sif's hair and then replaces it, or when he is responsible for the loss of Iðunn's apples of youth and then retrieves them again. Loki is an adept shape-shifter, with the ability to change both form (examples include transmogrification to a salmon, horse, bird, flea, etc.) and sex.
Hati and Skoll- Skoll chases the horses Árvakr and Alsviðr, that drag the chariot which contains the sun. Hati chases Máni, the moon until the time of Ragnarök when they will swallow these heavenly bodies, after which Fenrir will break free from his bonds and kill Odin.
I am called a werewolf by some but im not like the monsters of the legends. i can change form at will and i have complete controll of myself at all times... ive lived deep in the forest all of my young life with my keen smell and ability to hunt and track becoming my best of allies. my grandfather loki was sent to earth stuck in the form of a ferret by odin after his screams from the snake venom on his face almost tore the world apart... loki came to me, his grandaghter, to spend this time with... and to play tricks on every now and then as expected of loki...

Why looks my lord so deadly pale?
Why fades the crimson from his cheek?
By night, when, wrapt in soundest sleep,
All mortals share a soft repose,
My soul doth dreadful vigils keep,
More keen than which hell scarely knows.

Name: Kyrian Rhodes
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Class: Assassin
Alliance: The Monarchy
Personality/Attitude: Laid-back. Almost kind, he seems suave and debonair, even when carrying out his assignments; a trait that the Council frowns upon when in the field. His personality takes a drastic change, however, when his allies and loved ones are threatened, becoming enraged and like a berserker.
Appearance or Pictures:
Hair: Brown, wavy, semi-long but thick
Eyes: Vivid Green
Clothing: (refer to picture for story)
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 130 lbs.
Relatives/Family:
Father=Azrael
Mother=deceased
Weapons: Gifts of the Archangels (refer to custom weapons post)
Abilities: Intercept spirits and acquire their abilities.
Background/History: Not much is known about his past except that he is the son of Azrael and a mortal woman who died giving birth to him. He was discovered by the League in the heart of Faldaire, living within the catacombs of the Temple of God. He quickly rose through the ranks, eventually becoming a Master Assassin. His talents are legendary and he has sent many to his father's clutches. It is told that he can kill a target and it could be days before they know they are dead; they say he decides when they eventually fall.
RP sample: The target this time was a noble from Thorenval. The vile man had abused his last subject; the envoy was upon him now. Walking through his expansive garden, Hitero, as he was named, had just finished quelling those mongrels of advisors and their complaints; the serfs could shrivel and perish for all he cared. A sudden pain in his neck caused him to rest a moment to massage the aggravant agony away. Thinking no more of it, he retired to his chambers for the night. The next day his attendent arrived to wake him and make his bed. "That's odd, since when did he have red sheets?" she thought. Touching his shoulder, she rapidly recoiled when she felt a wet sensation from his robes; the bed and his clothes were soaked in his blood. The son of Death had struck again.......(just for a suggestion, you don't have to use this but I thought it might be helpful. Have fun! )
