Introducing: Sefra!

Postby Sefra on March 15th, 2010, 6:48 am

Hello! My name here is Sefra. I found this place on page... 20-something on google. I used to RP at Roleplayer Guild, but the threads there started to feel like the same thing over and over again, so I set off for something new and unique. Well, I've found it! And so far it looks like the writing standards might elevate my own a little, so I'm looking forward to it.

Anyway, my current character concept is a Mixed Blood between Drykas and Human (which seem to be roughly the same thing with only a difference in culture in the wiki--please correct me if I'm mistaken). A female child born to a Pavilion of a Drykas father and Human mother who dies giving birth. Honestly, I still haven't worked out the finer details of what a Human was doing in the Sea of Grass in the first place and how she came to be involved with a Drykas man.... I'm still working on it (this bears further reading in the wiki), but any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Anyway, I wanted to make a character who gets a lot of crap for being what she is, but refuses to let other people's opinions effect how she lives. She'd grow up in a Pavilion (haven't picked which clan yet) and earn the respect of her immediate family. However, as people marry into the family, she always has to fight for her position and respect with the newcomer yet again, and whenever the Pavilion is in Endrykas she finds herself in an awkward position when people learn her mother was not Drykas.

She'll develop a curiosity about her Human side as a young adult and go to Sylira at some point... maybe. Haven't decided on that yet, either.

So, yeah, a big WIP on this one :P . Again, any input, corrections, and tips are greatly appreciated, and I look forward to RP'ing with as many of you as I can ^.^ .

Hello Sefra, welcome to Mizahar! I'm not really familiar with the Drykas, but I'm sure others will be more than willing to help you out with your questions. Do drop by chat sometime and meet the rest of us.

Have fun! ^-^
Apologies to everyone I'm threading with, but it's like the Danaides for me right now.

Welcome Sefra!

Basically The Drykas are as subset of humans that are found only on the Sea of Grass. They are wholly human, so you actually wouldn't be mixed blood (which indicates a hybrid of human and something else rather than human + human = human) but simply mixed cultures. The same goes for the Benshira, the Vanthi, and a few others that are forthcoming. They are all human, just specific to a culture.

I hope you enjoy your Mizahar experience and have a great deal of memorable RPs. Like others say, feel free to drop questions here or ask in chat. Your sure to have a whole lot of them.

Welcome to Mizahar, Sefra!

Like Goss said, there aren't really racial differences, but there are many other ways to make a character unique and stand out in a way that affects the environment. I remember having a character with an eye color that was believed to be demonic by that char's race, so that was an interesting difference to play out.

Take your time creating a character you like. What you've got already sounds rather exciting. :)
