Welcome, Rayen. Here's mud in yer eye! [Long pull at the pint.] Ahhh... that's proper 1420, that is.
Well, the scoop is just this...we like to write, and the main genre is fantasy. We thought it would fit right in, seeing as how we are all sword-liking types.
The best thing to do is read back over some of the old threads (I'd suggest Jo's Journey, Duel in the Dungeon, Aftermath of the Collapse, Search for Arcon, The Journey Home, and Life After Arcon. Also, the New Moon.) Seems like a lot, but it goes quick. Those should give you a good sketch of the main characters.
Main players:
Arcon, king of Arconia.
Zelda, queen of Arconia. Master swordswoman.
Lady Moon of the Quill, royal scribe and former Princess Buffy of Schoolcraftia. Now missing and presumed dead.
Lady Willow, sorceress in training, fiance of Prince Nicholas of Marsteria, guardian of Lady Moon.
Lady or Master Rosaline, head of the Arconian military. Girlfriend of Sir Angelo, q.v.
Naekos, former head of the elite strike force, now off on an adventure of his own (Vengence of the Halfblood thread).
Sir Angelo Dewpawnt(hope I got that right), head of the Arconian Secret Service, prince of Muu, brother to Meekal the Daft. With Naekos at the moment, boyfriend of Rosaline, q.v.
Sir Lochinvar, old friend of Arcon and Zelda, recently returned from parts Out There. Got a thing going on with Lady Josephine, q.v.
Lady Josephine, ward of the king following her sister's assassination. Impulsive beginner. Got a thing going with Lochinvar, q.v.
Steve, publican at the Bitter End.
Lord Tellurine, evil plotter for the king of Muu, nemesis of Arconia.
Sir Latenight, legal counsel and knight. Resident rake and skirt-chaser.
Plus assorted third party characters, listed below with their respective originators:
Nani, cook Dame dEscrime (a.k.a. Josephine)
Anton, stableboy Lochinvar
Rath and Bones, gypsey Dame dEscrime
Master Gavrill, stablemaster Lochinvar
Dr. Abernathy, doctor Tellurine
Meekal the Daft, prince of Muu Moonitic (a.k.a. Lady Moon, Princess Buffy of Schoolcraftia)
Wooden Bob, trapper and drunk Tellurine
Prince Nicholas of Marsteria Willow
Queen Joslyn of Schoolcraftia Willow
Lady Olivia, Willow's mother
Colin, Earl of Brenwyck Lochinvar
Mortas, Duke of Angford Lochinvar
Holly Daye, innkeeper Tellurine
Brother Emmanuel, busybody Tellurine
Friar Laurence O'Malley, friar Tellurine
Ophelia Roenseller, waitress Tellurine
...and probably many more that I've forgotten.
Main thing is, read a thread until you think you have the gist of it, create a character, and join the plot. Any plot. And don't be afraid to ask questions. PM people if you want to write for their characters, or if you want to collaborate on a plot line. Everybody here is real friendly.
Most of all, don't be afraid to join in. We're all here to have fun. <img src="graemlins/jester.gif" border="0" alt="[Jester]" />
Here now, get that one down your gullet, and I'll stand you another...
