Age: 17 Gender: Male Current experience level with tabletops: Low, only two or three games. Preferred party role: Depends more on the character I come up with, although so far I've primarily played divine classes such as clerics or druids,, so I'd like to try something besides that. Describe your level of skill in role-play: I don't do it very often, although It's something I'm looking for. Preferred method of communication: Text. I do have a microphone if needed however. Opinions/Thoughts on system presented: It's different, but I'm willing to try. I don't really like the limitations to one race as it seems to signifigantly lower the role-play aspect, where race comes in frequently, same with class. I'm willing to try, however, it's something new at least. Small sample of role-play: (Not from D&D, but from something else I've done. Post apocolyptic setting, the sun is gone, the world is frozen.) “What happened on this train?” Aqua asked. “Huh?” Sol said. “Who were these people?” Aqua asked. “They look like they died too long ago to be of much concern now.” Amethyst said. “I’m not worried about something on the train, I’m worried about what’s outside.” Aqua said. “It’s so white. You’d think nature would get bored, being all one color.” Sol said. Aqua entered the front of the train, and looked out the windows. White whipped by him, the snow seemed to run through his vision. “You really seem to be having fun with this thing.” Aqua said. “It’s amazing! Have you seen how fast we’re going?” Sol said. “Yeah, it’s pretty fast.” Aqua said. “These suits are really annoying.” Amethyst said. “They’re a precaution. With the train generating heat, we should be okay regardless soon, but I wouldn’t risk it. “I will.” Amethyst said. “I can’t stand this.” Amethyst pulled her helmet off, letting her hair hang down freely. It was a bit chilly, even with the train’s heat, but nothing too bad. “Guys, it’s fine.” she said. “Don’t leave the train without it on, though.” Aqua said. Sol began to remove his as well, and was exposed to the open air for the first time. He drank it in, let it fill his lungs. “C’mon Aqua, it’s a lot better without it.” Sol said. “If you say so.” Aqua said. Sol helped him pull his helmet off, and they slid the suits off “Hey guys! Catch!” They heard Amethyst yell, as a bag flew towards them. “Gah!” Sol said, trying and failing to catch it. Aqua simply used his magic to catch it, and looked inside. “What is it?” Aqua said. “Food, I think.” Amethyst said. “You think?” Sol said. “I found it on the kitchen car.” Amethyst explained. Inside the bags were various jars of preserved foods, such as canned fruits. “Apples.” Aqua read from one of the cans. “Oh, and this.” Amethyst said, tossing a can opener, not quite as hard as the bag. Sol actually caught the can opener, and began to use it on the can. Inside were small chunks of a whitish fruit, and he took one out and ate it. “Any good?” Aqua asked. “It’s...amazing.” Sol said. “You have to try this!” Already Sol felt as though he made the right choice, no longer stuck within a small metal container deep within the earth. He was free, and he had apples. Aqua levitated an apple slice from the can, and popped it in his mouth. The sweetness of the apple rushed through his mouth. “This is great! Why didn’t we have these down there?” Aqua asked. “What are you two going on about?” Amethyst asked, entering the front of the train. Amethyst levitated one of the apples, and popped it in her mouth. Surprised, she slowly started to chew. Her eyes shot open, this was the most delicious food she had ever tasted. Amethyst opened the bag, and there were all sorts of other canned foods inside. “Well, we'll eat well for a while.” Aqua said. “A while? This will last forever!” Sol exclaimed. “Not with Amethyst around. She eats for at least three.” Aqua said, with memories of her eating some of his food rations “Funny.” she said, grabbing another of the apples. As she took one, she turned the can, showing them a label on the front, which read "Apples.” Several more cans and bags were emptied, all with delicious foods within. Amethyst let out a loud yawn, her eyes drooping. “We should probably take shifts sleeping, and keeping the train running. I sleep first.” Amethyst said, falling over into one of the train seats. “I’ll go feed the engine.” Aqua said, walking down to it. Sol looked outside, but saw absolutely nothing except what was directly next to the train. He grabbed his helmet, and used the light on it to see further. The ground was completely bare. Plain white surrounded them for miles. Sol continued to scan the surroundings, until he found a large beam of wood shooting into the sky. Suddenly, they began to sprout up all around him. They had smaller chunks hanging off of them in random patterns. He lay back, scanning through the forest, looking at the branches with curiosity. Aqua entered, and sat with him, staring up at the trees. Sol scanned the sky, and found something spectacular. A small dot, shining brightly. The two of them found many more of the twinkling sparks in the sky,and were in awe. “Sol?” Aqua asked. “Yeah?” “What do you think we’ll find? Out there?” “I dunno. But it has to be better. I know it.” “How?” “In my dreams. I saw this... woman. An elegant princess. She was out here.” “Wait, you saw this in your dreams?” “But it was real. I know it. She was in this big city, some place you’d never see underground. There was free air, and beautiful buildings. Just wait until you see it!” “I hope you’re right.” “I know I am.” “Sol?” Aqua asked. “Yeah?” “What do you think we’ll find? Out there?” “I dunno. But it has to be better. I know it.” “How?” “In my dreams. I saw this mare. An elegant princess. She was out here.” “Wait, you saw this in your dreams?” “But it was real. I know it. She was in this big city, some place you’d never see underground. There was free space, and beautiful buildings. Just wait until you see it!” “I hope you’re right.” “I know I am.” (Sorry that was kinda long) Finally, describe your personality in a short sentence or two: Admittedly not all that talkative, but I very much enjoy the character and world-building aspects of roleplaying, along with the gameplay mechanics.
