We're an all-genre, all-literate forum on the Zathyrus Networks, and we'd love to have you join! Our roleplays range from the fun to the mature, and are all member-run and created; they extend from Fictional roleplays set in the past and future, to Real-Life and Fan-Fiction categories. In addition to roleplays, TUL also has a vibrant community of artists and writers, featured in The Cafe section of the website, who also love to do things out of character through our Lounge area.

OOC Information

Name: Sylva Marsh
Gender: Female but why be specific.
Who were you referred by? What site were you referred from?: Tristan on Facebook ;)
Age: 23
Contact: silver_202@hotmail.com
Role Playing Experience: Used to play on mmorpg like DAOC and WoW (of course on the RPG servers)


IC Information

Role Play Sample: (No less than 300, and no more than 1000 words. We're looking for a sample, not a short story, please.)

Two samples for you:

1) I would like to formally introduce myself. *bows low, left arm behind back, right arm held across the waist* I am Alivera of the Clerical 5. I am of 28 winters. My service is to the high power of the Lord. I act out upon his wishes with guidance from our ruling sovereign. I pray and heal the wounded and I can act with my sword to smite the wicket if I must. I prefer to teach with words than ever end one’s life with my blade, but the work of our God is not always an easy one. *Makes a holy sign in front of her chest*He will forgive me of my sins. I am the older sister of Artemin but I know not of his fate, he left us at a very young age. It is a story that I cannot dare to repeat for it saddens me to the deepest of my core. I realize this story is needed and so I shall say it with a heavy heart. Our parents were killed when I was but 15, I had already found the Lord but my brother had not seen the light. He was too busy playing in the shadows. I know he saw the death of our parents; blood had covered him from head to toe when I had found them in the dining room. He looked so troubled and so sad but I could not convince him to stay by me. He left that night and I never saw him again. I was taken in by the clerics. They were very impressed by my knowledge of the works. They trained me the ways of a true fighter for God. They taught me blade work and songs. I can now enchant and heal those wounded... When God almighty allows me his power I can even occasionally give life back to those recently fallen. I should only wish I had had this gift on the day of my parents’ death, not for their sakes as I know they are with him in the better world, but for the lost soul of my brother whom I fear will never see the light again.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

2)You cannot speak a word of this to anyone. *looks from shadow to shadow* If the dark lord knows that I have spoken outside my turn he would have my burned alive. It is not that he is stronger than me. He is not even more cunning. The problem is this! *holds up his hand* You see, this ring *points to the glowing red stone on a shining red gold band adorned on his middle finger of his left hand* this is no ordinary ring. It burns me at his command. I was young and foolish. I never thought I could be harmed; I even murdered my pitiful parents. I had not anticipated my weakness against my sister. I was to kill her too but I walked away. I left her believing that others had killed our parents when it had been me all along. The poor fool now prays for me. I will not have this weakness again that moment has long since passed. I have grown since then; unfortunately I grew into the hands of... Him! He trapped me when I was but 13. He is the reason for the murder of my parents, when I did not complete the task he stuck the ring upon my finger. I thought he was rewarding me, thought he didn’t realize that I hadn’t finished my task. The moment that the band of metal touched my finger I knew something was wrong. It wasn’t cold, it had warmth to it, no metal should feel that way, and it was almost as though it lived. He smiled at me that day and asked me of my task. I lied and said I completed it. The burning in my body started off small I thought I was plagued by a fever. He smiled at me and said in a knowing voice, that I would never fail him again. That is when the pain became unbearable. I fell to the ground and trembled. I knew at that moment that he was right, as I tried to rip the ring from my finger and it wouldn’t budge, all the while trembling and burning on the ground. So you see, you cannot speak of this. He controls me... For now... Until the day I have this ring off of my finger and then, then the pleasure shall truly be all mine.


The Genres: Fantasy, mostly old fashioned. I have done some superhero stuff too...

I could be enticed by others haven't done this type of thing in a while.

Welcome in! The usual style here is the story-type you mentioned - but there's no law banning the style you used here, or first-person writing, or anything else easily intellegible by others. The 'no short story' injunction is merely to avoid small novels.

The only thing I must ask is whether it would be possible to remove the numbers from the end of Silver? If you're attached to them and they have a meaning, that's perfectly fine - but there are few enough of us here, and we can all have unique names without the addition of numerals. ^^ If it would be all right, please let me, White Fox, or Dr. Locke (so basically an admin) know, and we'll see what we can do.

Enjoy!
