Roleplaying Penpals International

This looks like fun, but could I suggest something like a brief bio rather than filling fields like 'age, relationship status, sexual preference' for those who feel experienced enough to supply enough information to write to? I could supply more interesting material to work with that way, rather than filling out the fields present.

I agree @Zindelo We will start with something more general. I think you are right. By sending too much info I'm cutting down on the senders creative space. Okay. I'll make a new form to fill out;

Name: Age: Short description of appearance:

If that doesn't work, then please let me know. Messaging gets my attention quicker :)

Name:

Age:

Short description of appearance:

Name: Conduit Eleanor Junakutz-Lionheart
Age: She's absolutely ancient. Centuries. Looks like late middle age though.
The Conduit is a grand old dame, known as a bit of an iron lady, the mistress of a guild of reality-bending scholars. She tends to dress formally, and sternly, and warmly (because she comes from essentially Fantasy Soviet Russia).
Her setting is your standard low magic fantasy with dragons and vampires and elves and things, though it is edging onto the very early end of magitech/steampunk.

Name: Tinkerer Darthora Hammersbrow Age: She's old, but as most dwarves go, hard to determine just how old. At least 110 years old (although she swears she doesn't look a day over 70) and with enough life in her to be feisty. She wears shabby dresses, that stick to her short chubby dwarf figure. She has long peppered hair and big mole on her cheek near her right eye. Most dwarves are obsessed with gold or gory battle scenes, and while Darthora enjoys a decent fistfight or slaying every now and again and even defends herself when pushed, she prefers to spend her time building new inventions and the occasional technical weapon or gadget. Should fit nicely into any fantasy setting :)

Whoaaah! This is SO awesome! I always wanted to make such a swap! I'll absolutely join! (and post my short cut chara here tomorrow :3 )

This is brilliant! I even have a character in mind for a story I plan to write some time in the future. Maybe the letter I get can give me some ideas for plot twists!

Name: Jane Collinson Age: 20 Jane lives in England around the 1840s. Her previously affluent family fell into disgrace when her older sister tried to attend medical school, and an altercation with an offended male student resulted in the young man being severely injured. Now, with her sister ruined and unmarriageable, Jane has gone to Northumberland (right on the boarder with Scotland) to stay with Clarissa, a friend from her boarding school. Alas, Clarissa's family is cursed, and Jane finds herself in mysterious and dire straights.There's no telling what spooky, terrifying things she may have to face in the haunted manor by the sea, or in the eerie woods nearby!

Name: Neraida Age: 15 Short description of appearance: Neraida has long, curly and bushy dark hair which always sticks out and never stays the way it should be. She LOVES colourful and glitterful things, even if they dont belong to her - yes, she's very freehanded when it's about "yours" or "mine". Everything that's not her could be hers eventually. Neraida was found as an abandoned baby in a small village, raised by a farmer family who soon wanted to marry her to some stubborn old farmer - which quite didnt agree with her own plans: since she spend most of time of her childhood sitting in the only tavern the village had, she grew up with legends and fairy tales of travelers and adventurers. She wanted a piece of cake, too! So she caught the chance she had, when some smugglers came through the village and got together with some friends in aim to blew their cover ... but that's another story. Maybe she'll tell you when you meet her. She already experienced quite a lot in her small life! Right now she's in a seaport leaving a big ship she used to travel with and is exploring a new and fascinating town. [She left some friends she stayed with since they had.. other plans in mind. Nearly alone in a very strange and new town - those are things she will probably tell you about! :D
