Three Lakes Holt (Shameless Plug)
I am: Christina Raibert (holtmistress and player of Cascade, Deathspear, Loudsong, Mole, Rokal, Stonethrown, Typhoon, Windswept + various NPCs)
Few Paragraphs describing the group: The war has raged for about two hundred years now. Many have died, but many are still fighting as they try to take charge of their lives in these times of loss. The wild CatRiders warriors, led by fierce Snowcry, have been true to her word, and exacted bloody retributions on their mild mannered neighbors - the PegasusRiders, led by chief Acornsong, whose only fault was to love his twin children too much. And the GryphonRiders, concealing their cruel and treacherous nature beneath their glamorous exterior and their ancient multi-layered society. CatRiders and PegasusRiders are caught in a feud that was started when Acornsong and Snowcry Recognized, while the mighty GryphonRiders will do anything - even destroy every other elf-kin that isn't their own - so that the Three Lakes area can become a sheltered sanctuary for their scattered tribesfolk. Some elves, like the gypsy-iesh Tramps, try to keep on neutral grounds and make the best out of a bad situation - but can they really stay forever out of the war's reach, or will they be forced to take a side as the hatred spreads and rivalry builds? Brute force, diplomacy and deception all tangled in a vicious conflict that may lead to the annihilation of all known elfin people. Will friendship ever be able to rise over these times of darkness?
( Read more... )Three Lakes Holt is an Elfquest-inspired roleplay. Set on the shores of three magical lakes in the island of Rivercrest, our story deals with three tribes of elves who are bound by war until the end of the time. The CatRiders thrive for fighting, the PegasusRiders are masters of various arts, and the GryphonRiders find sadistic pleasure making their neighbors lives a living hell. There's a fourth tribe of gypsy-like elves, the Tramps; there are trolls and humans, but also many fantastic elements that you won't find in canon Elfquest, like unicorns, phoenixes, pegasi, dragons, and mysterious spirits of darkness who were only said to dwell in old legends. If you like your Elfquest mixed with fantasy, dark atmospheres, epic (and not-so-epic) battles, intrigues, plot twists, and the occasional comic relief - then this may be the holt for you! We have an active play-by-email RPG and stories and pictures from members are always encouraged. We also have great players who work hard to make the game as fun and enthralling as 'possible. Despite the occasional pitfalls along the way, Three Lakes has been running since 2002 and is still going strong!
What kind of players you're looking for: active, interested roleplayers (artists and writers are also welcome ^^), people willing to adopt a PegasusRider and to play villains (we REALLY need villains). We are open to both new (CatRiders, GryphonRiders and Tramps only - see below) and adopted characters; at this time we're not accepting playable humans, trolls, or other races, though there are plans to incorporate some of these story elements (together with new elf-tribes yet to be introduced) as the story progresses.
I am including a specific list of available slots for new (created) elves as well as adoptables - if you are interested, or would like to have more informations, drop me a line!
Characters Status:
* The CatRiders: New (must be from Meadowlark's band) and 2 adoptables left.
* The PegasusRiders: Adoptables only.
* The GryphonRiders: New and adoptable characters.
* The Tramps: 2 adoptables left and open slots for new characters (read below)
* Half-blood: I thought I'd include this as well, inter-tribe half-bloods (ie CatRider x GryphonRider or GryphonRider x PegasusRider, or PegasusRider x CatRider - with the obvious exception of Acornsong and Rainlight's children -) are virtually non-existant for the time being. The only exceptions are the Tramps who being (mostly) of neutral alignment have visited all the various tribes at different times and may have produced children with them if Recognition struck. So the only possiblities for half-bloods are CatRider x Tramp (very rare), PegasusRider x Tramp and GryphonRider x Tramp (very rare among the nobles, more common with the peasants). Open for new (created) characters.
Open Positions:
* The CatRiders - hunters | gatherers | elders.
* The GryphonRiders - Court: guards (5 slots open) | Council of Twelve (5 slots open) | generic nobles | slave master (1 slot open). - The Army: warriors (5 slots open) | cadets (3 slots open) | retired warriors. - The Servants: Queen's handmaiden/s | stablemen | servants to specific noble families | cooks. - The Peasants: gatherers | housewives | farmer | traders | hunters | elders | members of the Rebellion (it's a secret organization meaning your character could and *should* also belong to one of the above peasant classes) | outcast (can be either outcast from the peasant or outcast from the nobility, open but must have a very good story behind it). - The Slaves: open, must serve under a specific noble family (you may ask, what is the difference between servants and slaves? Servants receive wages for their chores, while slaves are "things" owned by the nobles and can be even passed from one noble family to another, they can have generic chores like servants or specific ones like concubines/courtesans). - The Prisoners: open, can be from any tribe (GryphonRider peasants who were too bold for their own sake, GryphonRiders nobles arrested for committing a crime against someone of higher rank, PegasusRiders, CatRiders, Tramps, and Half-bloods).
* The Tramps: there are (and there will be after the two years time jump that we'll have in the close future) several bands of tramps that your character can be part of, and each has its own peculiar slots and requirements. - Band # 1, Alignment neutral/good, led by Calyth (F): merchants/traders (4/5 slots open). - Band # 2, Alignment neutral/good, led by Dashdance (M): dancers (2 slots open). - Renegades, Alignment evil, led by Lorenos (M): bounty hunters, assassins, mercenaries (open for new characters, no limitations whatsoever). - Others: loners and wanderers (open for new characters).
