Open Rings of Saturn

_obsequious

_obsequious

You live in a small, otherwise rural town on the outermost Ring of Saturn.
There are 76 Rings, and you live on Ring 1.
You've heard tales- dangerous journeys of heroes, trekking through battles on each Ring before being able to scrape themselves together and proceed to the next.
Maybe you're scared of the idea- maybe you're just waiting until you're old enough to make the journey.
Rumor has it, that past the 76th Ring, there is a final layer that nobody has made it to.
Saturn itself. The final battle. You don't know whether or not to believe it, but from what you've heard, the beasts get near impossible to beat around the 40th Ring. You can hardly imagine 76, let alone Saturn.
Regardless, something has led you to the journey. Your family, if you have one, has wished you the best of luck. Tears were shed, hugs were passed.
And you've left.
-=-=-=-=-
Rules for the Thread
1. Don't be overpowered. If you are, I won't hesitate to kick you. If I say that beasts get difficult around 40, don't kill one with a single hit on 64. I will kick you. Sorry to seem harsh.
2. Write at least four sentences. Writing less is bland, and gives the others nothing to reply to.
3. Don't roleplay by yourself when other characters have been introduced to yours. Some people do something like this (given, it's probably longer):
"[Name] wandered around the forest, humming quietly. They looked around, at the forest around them, enjoying the scenery. [Name] kept walking."
There are numerous things wrong with that situation. One, it's barely three sentences. Two, it gives no acknowledgment to the other characters. Three, it sucks. Simple as that.
4. I feel the need to say it again. Don't be overpowered. I'll literally want to strangle you.
5. Don't make it all about you. Nobody cares that you're the son of the King and there's so many people after you. It's not about you. It's about the group. Now, that doesn't mean stuff can't happen to your character.
6. Imagine this is set in Medieval Times- no sweatshirts, no cell phones, no guns, etc.
Rules for the Rings
1. Journey-Takers must be at least seventeen years of age before they take the Quest of the Rings.
2. Parties are permitted, however they may not exceed the limit of 5 Journey-Takers.
3. Each Journey-Taker is permitted one weapon, a small bag, and one excess item of their choice.
4. Any laws being violated by Journey-Takers will be punishable.

The weapons that Journey-Takers are permitted to choose from are as follows;
Katana, Dagger, Bow (Comes with 20 Arrows), Spear, & Brass Knuckles.
Name: Erin Ablaine
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Physical Appearance: Erin is a smaller woman, at 5'4. She's lanky, and thin, quick gives her an advantage of agility. She's light on her feet- rather stealthy. Her hair is short and dark brown, going to her chin, in a mess of waves that isn't very well kept. It tends to be up, in some sort of way. Her eyes are wide and icy blue, contrasting well with her dark hair and pale skin. She wears a simple grey sweater, that appears carefully knitted, and a simple pair of pants accompanied with a belt and pair of boots.
Personality: Erin is quiet, and prefers to stick to herself. She’s guarded and doesn’t open up easily, despite wanting to sometimes. However, she knows she'll die on the Quest alone, so she's begrudgingly accepted a party. She's very persistent, and very focused, and it's obvious she's been training for the Quest her whole life, which didn’t leave her much time for socializing and leaving her pretty awkward. She's diligent, and rather stubborn, usually pretty unwilling to give up on just about anything. She's very protective, but only comes through as a "friend" in dire situations.
History: Erin comes from a poor family on the First Ring, growing up with two other siblings. Considering she was the oldest, she took care of her parents and little brothers, but considering they were at an age to take care of themselves, she's taken her time off to take the Quest, to hopefully return loaded, enough to sustain her family for life. Her youngest brother, Dean, at 14, is very close to her, while she'd often like to kick out the older- 15 year old Landon. She's fond of them despite their arguments, and it's obvious that she just wants to hurry up and get back to them.
Weapon of Choice (Choose from the Selection): Dagger
Reason to take the Quest: To sustain her family.
Other: Her excess item is a simple canteen.

sounds really fun! count me in :3

Name- First & Last: Odilon Evaristo
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Physical Appearance- Please be Detailed!: Odilon has quite a muscular build and stands at 6'2, which kinda gives away any stealthy intent, but compensates through his bulky stature, rendering him able to take many hits at once. He has short black hair neatly slicked back and chocolate brown eyes, usually containing a fierce spark in them. Odilon wears a jet black short-sleeved shirt, which kinda makes his large biceps pop, and black trousers, coupled with black leather boots.
Personality: Odilon is a gruff man who rarely smiles, though he works extremely well alone or in a team. He is always dialed in, but he would put himself in harm's way on his allies' behalf.
History: Odilon was born an only child into a family of fierce warriors. His ancestors and parents all embarked on the Quest of the Rings, though all of them died on the journey, his parents dying when he was 13. Odilon vowed to set out on the Quest as well, but unlike his ancestors, survive the entire quest and return home.
Weapon of Choice (Choose from the Selection): Odilon brandishes a hefty spear with a long bronze handle and a sharp spearhead made from forged iron. It's a lightweight spear, but it packs a deadly punch and sits diagonally against Odilon's back.
Reason to take the Quest: To honor his ancestors and achieve what they couldn't.
Other: Odilon carries no excess item.
 
Kayla The Steenee

Kayla The Steenee

Name: Kayla Robins
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Physical Appearance: Kayla stands at a small 4'7", and is a bit on the slim side, without much weight, weighing around 130 pounds. She doesn't have much muscle, but she is very skilled in karate and despite her weak looking appearance, she can take a couple hits while dispensing her own. She has caramel brown wavy hair, reaching up to her elbows when down, but she ties it up into a messy single plait which rests on her back. Her eyes are a dark hazel accompanied with long eyelashes - her skin is also a slightly pale beige, and freckles dot her cheeks and nose. She is quite simple when it comes to clothes, as she wears a plain black cotton sweater, some black trousers and her black leather boots.
Personality: Kayla is quite a naive, shy girl with people and to other people looks like a weak, scared little girl, but really she is a strong, determined girl inside. When she sets herself a goal she always sticks to it, and never gives up. She is very stubborn due to this, and is quite clumsy too. She is friendly and polite, but gets angry quite easily and gets quite sarcastic and snappy when she is particularly mad.
History: She grew up an only child with her mother, her father not being around since she was twelve, dying in his Quest of the Rings. She was especially close to him and was upset when he left, growing up with depression when she was told her father had died. Her mother was also upset from this tragedy, but from then on, Kayla grew up with a goal stuck in her mind - to complete the Quest of the Rings, her ultimate goal. She learnt to swing a blade and fight with it, tactics and strategies were made and she perfected them, also getting pretty good with her legs and arms, able to do pretty decent karate. Her mother and her had a great relationship, and her mother was very against the idea of her going on this journey, but she had to. Her goal was to make her father proud of her, to do what he couldn't, with fierce determination.
Weapon of Choice: A katana forged with a special steel named tamahagane.
Reason to take the Quest: To make her father proud of her.
Other: N/A

EDIT: Sorry @OmnipotentOnion , I didn't copy your character's backstory! I only read your character after I made Kayla, I didn't copy it xD

This sounds amazing! I'm in if you will accept me :)

Name: Gaillart Serraino

Gender: Male

Age: 17

Physical Appearance: Gaillart, or Gail, for short, stands at a slightly-below average height at 5'9". He weighs around 175 pounds, which makes him somewhat light. He has an above average musculature, with very little fat in him. He has a good tan from working outside since he was 12, which is also how he got his build. He has blue eyes that are very dark on the edges, and get progressively lighter as they get closer to the pupil, with an odd, yellowish line about halfway between the pupil and the edge of the iris. His hair is naturally dark, but he bleached it blonde in hopes of keeping his head from burning up during work. The hair is rather long, about eyebrow length in the front, ear length on the sides, and to the back of his neck in the back. He wears boots made for work and long pants that are somewhat light, allowing him speed if needed. The only particularly "reinforced" cloth on him is a sleeveless leather-padded shirt, with added leather in the front and back. He is sleeveless so he is not restricted when drawing out arrows from his quiver.

Personality: Gail is an intelligent person, thinking before doing, and he often psyches himself out. He has a boiling rage that can and will pop out at any minute if he is provoked, a result of loosing most of his family. He can work well with others as long as they respect him. He is loyal to the end, to whoever he has decided deserves it. He is always willing to risk life or limb for someone that means something to him, and is very protective because he knows what loss is and does not want it to happen to him again. He does not want to die alone, as he has been most of his life, so he sought out a party for the quest.

History: When Gail was born, his parents left him to die with his seven other siblings, him being the youngest. The oldest, Gavin, was the one who raised them all, until he left for the quest, along with his two oldest sisters. Gail does not know what happened to them, and so he was left with his favorite sister, Camille, who was 15 at the time of Gavin's death or disappearance. He also had two twin brothers that were both 12. When they were 17, Camille also took them on the quest, and they too also died. Gail was left with his final brother, Daniel, the 15 year old role model for him. He always looked up to his brother, but sadly, Daniel was murdered before he was even able to reach 17. Gail then lost all hope for his world, and waited for the day he could take part in the quest, to possibly reach the end, but more than likely find out what happened to the rest of his family.

Weapon of Choice: Bow

Reason to take the Quest: To see what happens. He wants to know what, how, why, when. He wants to finish. He doesn't care if he dies, he just wants to do it.

Other: His excess item is a simple bag of string, to repair any breaking of his bow.

Personality: while she seems quiet and reserved most of the time, she can get worked up when someone does something she strongly disagrees with. She is quite compassionate, and can easily think on her feet to solve a problem.
History: she had a lover that previously journeyed out onto previous rings, but had recently passed. She was born into a higher class family as an only child, and has had very few issues in her life.

Name: Chiyako "Chi-chi" Ito
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Physical Appearance: Chiyako is a very pale, Japanese lady with long, straight brown hair. She stands at 5'4", and is rather skinny. Chiyako wears glasses and a very, VERY large, black sunhat that has a flower on it and white stripes. They wear a gray top and a white skirt that has a black gradient at the top. She wears brown boots that cover around half of her lower body. She likes to wear a LOT of makeup, and usually, I'll tell you what she wears at the time. (At the start, she wears a grayscale eyeshadow and a very solid black lipstick, with brown blush.)
Personality: Really timid, but is easy to make friends with if you talk to her enough. She likes to lie about herself a lot, saying that she's the greatest. She's a perfectionist that will literally flip out if anything goes wrong. Flustered really easily, but she has no problems with flirting herself.
History: Most of her family and friends died from a plague when she was born. Her sister was the only one alive. Her sister, though, was a literal psycho. She abused Chi-chi as a child and tricked Chi-chi into believing things that were not right. When she grew old enough to go out on her own, she figured out about the Rings and decided to take the challenge.. just to show her sister that she was worth it.
Weapon of Choice (Choose from the Selection): Katana
Reason to take the Quest: Like I said in the backstory, her sister never believed in Chiyako. Chiyako still believed in herself, and stayed strong. She's trying to show her sister that she can be as good as her one day.
Other: She is a proud pansexual that has been dating an agender for a couple months. (LGBT+ all the way!) Also, her excess item is a bag that she carries on her shoulder. The bag is full of pictures of her family, friends, etc. Just so she can feel comfortable.

_obsequious

also I’m a bit unsure as to when I should start their actual journey?
I would start it now, but there are still people in the discussion that aren’t in the actual roleplay yet, and if I have them leave now they’d be excluded and im very obviously not good at running roleplays help
 
Y

yagami_thepokemonfanatic

sorry to be bland or not have many sentences, but if there are not many people in your RP do not start it it would be pointless to start a RP that is only going to last for five minutes hope my advice was useful but of course if you have have enough people start the RP
 
OmnipotentOnion

OmnipotentOnion

tbh I'd rather start the Journey now since this thread has been up for quite a while

anyone who joins in afterward could maybe be in a different group that coincidentally crosses paths with the main group and merges together?
