(Sign up) Yoshi history

[Teo]

So... this is it... I'm finally getting around to it...

For as long as almost anyone can remember, Yoshi's have been toghether with humans, living toghether, sharing workspace and playspace...

...but it wasn't always like that...

We are on what we now call Yoshi's Island. Fruit is easily found, forests have so much life in them to the point of rocks having families of beetles living inside them. Everything is buzzing with activity, whether it be a bird trying to catch a spider or a spider trying to catch a bug... or a bug trying to catch a bird for that matter!

But what's the most noticeable on the island... are the Yoshies. They come in every color, and do nothing but play all day, without a care in the world, only to stop and think at what a cloud looks like or maybe where his friend is hiding, perhaps what he might eat if he got hungry. When two talk, they speak in the old language of the yoshies, only to be understood by yoshies, only to be spoken by yoshies.

...We are in the year 800 AD...

Yoshi History, the prologue...

SIGN UPS!!

This RP takes place over several hundred years, so you are going to have to refresh character names, personalities, looks, and all those goodies every time we take a leap in time... or when your character dies. If you have two characters, ONE CAN DIE!! If you break rules, stay very innactif, or just have very very bad grammar, your character might have an unfortunate accident. If your character is a swearer, please place (-) where you want the word, just one little line. I understand swearing may be part of some characters, but it's still not allowed. No weapons or powers either . If you have a special ability, it can't have more than an impact than being able to do splits.

WE ARE... currently in chapter 0, the prologue. Introduce the first character you will be using, how they act, how they re-act, and all those goodies. This chapter should be short, as it's just to introduce people. In fact, THIS POST is chapter 0!!

Yes, your character DOES NOT need a name. If your character goes nameless, the people around you will have to call you something, so don't expect THEM to give you a great name.

Name: Teak
Age: 13-16
Gender: Omg, it's a boy!
*Species: YOSHI!!
Personality:
Any non-combat items?: Nothing!!
Bio: Teak is a yellow colored Yoshi who lives on Yoshi's island since his birth. He loves to play, as all yoshies, and has a great deal of energy. He's not particularly smart, but his agility is very good and makes up for his smarts in this day and age. He's very playful and will constantly nag someone to play. If he tries to sit still, he will start twitching...
*First person/Third person: THIRD PERSON!!

*RP sample/intro:

What a lovely day... aaaaas usual! Just sitting on this tree makes me...want...to... FLYYYY!! Teak leaped of the palm tree he had climbed, gathering all his energy and performing a flutter jump so high and far, people could become envious fast. He kept going up and forth until he was over the Ocean. He curled up in a tight ball and cannonballed into the water, only to come up greedy for more. "(Again! Again!!)" Teak, excited as ever, swam the few feet where the water was deep, and then continued walking in the water the good twenty yards of shallows where he had fluttered over, and then the extra ten feet to get back up his tree. But he knew no measurement, he only knew he could do better. In a single jump, he was up the palm tree as if it was a joke to jump, and sprang out into the open, fluttering faster and faster until he dropped again, smashing into the water, coming up asking for more.

This kept going until he decided he was hungry. And if there's one thing Teak liked, it was everything. Oh he loved to eat, nothing better. It could be the yummy berries off the red and yellow bush, or the bark of the red trees. But he was never supposed to eat the pink fruit that grew from the trees, it gave indigestion, and yoshi's don't like that. No matter what time it was, as long as he was hungry, he ate. So he searched the ground, hopping to find a good mushroom, and found one with green polka dots on top of it. He knew what he was up to, took the mushroom, and greedily shoved it in his mouth. Teak looked farther and saw a delicious looking red mushroom, but he knew the red one was supposed to be bad, and ignored it.

The mushroom, despite small, had a quality to fill a yoshi's belly like nothing else. Teak was full of energy again! He had to use it, that way he might be able to eat again. So, what did he do? Well...

He jumped up a palm tree and did a cannonball.

[anjilfan]

Name: Sor (Sounds like soar)
Age: 14
Gender: Male
Species: Yoshi
Personality: Odd
Any non-combat items?: None
Bio: Sor is a pink Yoshi.(Pink WAS my first choice for Ra...) What he likes, and what he dislikes, he keeps to himself. But there is no doubt he likes to play around a lot. He usualy never gets mad around others, but when he does, he goes somewhere else.Likes to sometimes eat rocks, and to sometimes purposley trip and fall, to make others laugh. His favorite out of all things, is to sleep.
First/Third person: First

RP sample/intro:
(Okay....most of the first part actually happened)

I was sleeping in a huge hill, when the wind blew something in my face. I slowly woke up, and tried to grab it, but missed because the wind blew it again. I shrugged a little, stood up, and stretched. I put my hands behind my head, and look down the hill. This might be fun! I thought to myself with a big smile. so, I ran as fast as I could. Going at a high speed down this huge hill, but I tripped over a rock, and was sent tumbling down.When I finnaly reached he bottom, I was on my face. Heh...that was really fun!!! I thought to myself again. I put he hands behind my head again and started to wander around.

I didn't notice that I had a bruise on my shoulder, until another Yoshi ,that passed my by,pointed it out. I looked at it, shrugged a bit, and continued walking. When I finnaly stoped, I was by a big tree. I yawned, and sat by the tree. I looked at the beach waters. Gently crashing down onto the soft sand.I then, fell asleep.

[red.yoshi]

Name: red.yoshi
Age: approx. 3-4 (young)
Gender: male
*Species: yoshi
Personality: shy
Any non-combat items?: a strange round object, dog collar with circular tag, small brown beat-up boots
Bio: red always carries a strange object - thought to be a rock, but none know for certain what it is. some may think it is an egg, and that it may hatch one day. red tends to be a shy and very young yoshi who dosen't play much, rather sits and watch the other yoshis with thier games, too shy to ask to join one. he sits there most of the day looking at his stone.
*First person/second person/third person: i like to roleplay in third person
*RP sample/intro:

red was sitting watching the other yoshies with thier games. he wanted to join so much, but at the same time he thought that they wouldn't like him. most of the yoshis were older than he, and he could only speak a few words. red also was limited with his size, he couldn't jump well yet, swim, or use his hands much. red also didn't have any parents. he was a lone, stranded egg who wasn't even found in a nest, but half burried in sand.
red was a little hungry, so he went and knocked a coconut out of a tree, breaking it open with his strong feet. he took the half with the most milk in it. red started exploring, finding different types of fruits, and smashing them into the coconut milk. after about 30 minutes of doing this, red had a type of smoothie with floating fruit chunks. he sat down in the middle of a forest on a rock, too concered with his meal to realize that he was lost.

[Teo]

Alrighty!!

Ra: If you can avoid using "I" so much, if you can help it.

Red: Are you sure you want to name yourself Red? Once this chapter ends, you will need a new character name. Your sample is fine, except capitalize at the beginning of sentences please! (I know, I sound like a teacher :

Okey dokey. But, I am pretty much in first person...maybe I can use......uhhhh.... XD Uhh....okay. I'll try not to. If I can find another word XD

i guess so, i might forget alot >,<. Anyway, what do you mean that I'll need a new charater name? Every chapter, do I need to roleplay as a new person, or yoshi?

[Teo]

Well, this RP is going to take place over the span of roughly one and a half thousand years... your character will only have the lifespan of one regular life, so after the chapter ends, your character will probably have died out by the time the next chapter starts.

[Lord of the Dance]

(Ghirendaxeth is an alien, and thus lives longer than normal Yoshis :<
If that's okay with you, of course.)

Name: Ghirendaxeth Nethredeake
Age: Unknown; seemingly young at the moment
Gender: It
Species: Looks like a Yoshi
Personality: Thinks the primitive technology of this island is laughable, but he has to use it to get by, since he lost all his in a crash-landing. So he's kind of a pessimist, but very resourceful.
Non-Combat items: None
Bio: His spaceship got damaged somehow while he was on an interstellar mission, and he's been stranded on a very primitive planet, not even close to making any kind of distress signal. He doesn't speak the local language, but can pick it up easily due to what he thinks is his superior intelligence.
Third Person (Italics are translated from his language to English)
RP Sample:
"Ungh, what happened?" Ghirendaxeth wondered, shaking his head as his vision cleared. The last thing he remembered was flashing red lights, signaling that his transport ship's engines had been damaged and were not able to resist the nearby planet's gravitational pull. He sighed.
"Let's see if there's a sentient species here that can help me..." He said to himself, and waved his antennae, searching for any kind of radio signal that would lead him to civilization. Nothing.
So now, he realized, he was on a deserted island. Or at least stranded with some alien life that he knew next to nothing about. He'd have to see if he could scrounge up anything that could be made into a distress beacon... He put a two-fingered hand over his gold eyes, spun around a few times with a finger out, and headed in the direction he found himself pointing. His internal compass told him he was heading south.

EDIT: Haha, I've been referring to Ghirendaxeth as a "he" that whole sample. It's easier to just refer to it as a "he", so the other characters can just stick with that, heheh.

[red.yoshi]

ok, i'll keep it as red. I'll think of somthing as the rp progresses.

[Teo]

Uhm... how long exactly does Ghirendaxeth live? Whatever it is, it can't be over 200 years... sorry.

[Yoshu]

Awright, I was gonna do Yoshu's Dad, a demon, but even he does not live for a thousand and a half years... But well over 200, so I'ma' pick someone else.

Name: Yuan
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Species: Red Yoshi
Personality: Yuan is stone-cold. He wants power very much, and does not care much for company. However, if someone prooves themselves of eaqual or greater power, he'll treat them very kindly, even protect them with his life.
Any non-combat items?: An Ocarina which he plays in his spare time.
Bio: Yuan is a red Yoshi with spikey, black hair. Because he is a red yoshi, he specializes in fire techniques.
When he was born, his family was put in an awkward position. Both of his parets were light blue yoshies. They tried to love him like their own, but he didn't get along with his light blue siblings.
Yuan never talks about his past.

Note: Because this RP says no weapons or powers, Yuan won't be using his firey stuffs, so ignore that part... He won't bring it up.

First person/third person: Third
RP sample/intro: Yuan sat down, staring directly at a large boulder across from him. It had several indentations in it, that appeared to be fists. He got up to his feet.
"One day," He said, "I will be stron enough to demolish you in a punch." He began to walk away. The sound of Yoshi's playing could be heard. As well as loud splashing, laughing. He shook his head.
"Wasting their time with games, when they could be making a serious opponent for me." But something caught his attention. It was a little red yoshi wandering around in a forest, looking, it seemed, for food. The young yoshi couldn't be older than three, or four, and Yuan lost his breath.

"Mama? Mama? Where'd you go? Mama? Mama, we need to find Daddy! Mama?!" The little Yuan was seaching around a scorched forrest, covered in ash, he cam up to a smoldering log.

Oh, my god, he thought. He shook his head again. When he looked up, the Yoshi was gone, probably further in the jungle searching for food. He slowly chuckled. "Naw, couldn't be... He probably just... Got lost or something..." Yuan turned around, watching the same nutcase jump up a tree, and propell himslef into the water below...

[Teo]

Alright, a little tweaking's going to have to be done...

This RP starts in the year 800AD, there are no building blocks, no phones, not even jelly beans. Yoshies have no legendary heroes among them. Your yoshi is not supposed to know a whole lot about the outside world, so if any part in Yuans mysterious "past" has to do with civilization, that would have to have never happened... this rp IS the past.

Not that old. He's still young, so he should live to be about... maybe a little over 100. Not much more than that.

I'm terribly sorry... I will immediately change that.

[Master Doshi]

I like your idea

Name:Bablon
Age:5
Gender:Male
*Species:Yoshi
Personality:Helpful
Any non-combat items?:A slightly pointy stick, used for drawing things in the dirt.
Bio:Bablon is a pretty smart Yoshi, and fast too, though he seriously needs to work out.
*First person/third person:Third
*RP sample/intro:
Bablon was drawing himself in the dirt with his stick. he kept on messing up when he got to the hands. Bablon never knew why he always messed up the hands. He sighed as the watched a butterfly flutter by, before he went back to the problem of his mis-drawn hands. He gave up a few minutes later, and decided to climb a tree.

He raced up the bark as fast as he could, and only stopped when he was at the top of the leaves. Sitting as comfortably as he could, he decided to watch life go before him. ten minutes later, he could be found drawning a yoshi in the dirt, always messing up with the hands.

[Rackinac]

Name:Tom
Age:10
Gender: Dude
Species: Yoshi
Personality: Shy
Any non-combat items?: HE'S 10 YOU SICKO!
Bio: Tom is a shy, pale blue yoshi. Once he gets to know you, he's not at all shy but he'll talk, and talk... and talk. Also, if you pull his tail, your as good as dead. >> He hangs around in uncrowded places. He is very paranoid and is scared of many things. He has a great interest in ghost though.
First person/third person:Third
RP sample/intro:
Tom was at the graveyard hanging out in a tree. It was a nice quiet place he can enjoy, since only visiters stay for a minute or so then leave. He munched on a apple he found hanging in the tree and sighed. Tom looked beyond the graveyard to see a few yoshies playing a game of tag. He wouldn't join. Tom is a misunderstood yoshi and personaly, he'd rather hang out at a graveyard. Not like he was fisically fit, and he decided that being lazy was his thing. Out of no where, a small pink thing fell on his lap. It was a baby raven, probably pushed out of the nest by it's brothers or sisters, or maybe just uncordinated. Tom swooped up the baby bird and climbed higher up the tree with his free one untill the nest was visible. He gentally place the baby raven back in the next and got up next to it. "There you go little fella." He said softly to it. "Back home where you belong."

[Teo]

Alrighty, Doshi, welcome to the crew! You seem like you have a good character and understand what the RP's going to be about... the first chapter anyways.

Gem, it seems your yoshi is all well, but for some reason I have this feeling that some people have been skipping over the "800 AD" part. It may be my mistake and you're putting the setting of a graveyard in the year 800AD, and in that case, that's fine.

I'll let you in, but I'm keeping an eye on you -.-

[Enrique]

Name: Yinguredziek

Age: Since Yinguredziek's village-clan was extremely primitive, they didn't bother keeping records; the only concept of time they know was the difference of day and night; since Yoshi's Island is in a tropical area, the change in seasons don't affect the climate enough to notice a change, and thus, the village-clan had no concept of an organization of days or a calendar structure. One would approximate Yinguredziek's age to be about 17 at 800 AD.

Gender: Male.

Species: Yoshi, light blue-cyanish in color.

Personality: Initially, Yinguredziek is very anti-social, due to his "mental isolation" from the people of his village. He tries to become a leader of anyone who may follow him when he leaves the village.
Any non-combat items?: No.

Bio: Yinguredziek is not a very social individual; this is due to the fact that he questions the logical well-being of his village's paganism. He believes that there is a natural explanation to the world around him, but he's not exactly sure what that may be; however, he does not believe in the world being born by spirits and the ghosts of his ancestors like his follow villagers believe. The people of his village, thus, avoid him, for they feel that he is an evil individual for not following their religion; some daring villagers throw stones at him.

First person/third person: Third person.

RP sample/intro:
The young boy was taken from his home. His parents were killed by the village officials for giving life to such a child who resisted the culture of the village. In the center of the town of Tantrurtate stood the boy, named Yinguredziek, surrounded by the village chief and villagers who raided his home trying to kill him. "Give death to evil boy!" one angry villager shouted.

Yinguredziek was a thinker in a village who didn't think; they knew to eat, sleep, and worship the spirits that created the Earth. The young Yoshi refused to do the latter, insisting that a spirit from nowhere could have suddenly created the Earth and the life that consumed it. During daily rituals, he would sit in a corner of his father's hut, asking questions about the world in which he lived in, rather than embracing it, which the citizens of Tantrurtate expected.

This day was allegedly his "day of death," as punishment for his resistance. The village chief next to him had a sharp stick of bamboo in his hand, anxious to rid the village of its achilles heel. Yinguredziek was standing within feet of the chief, again thinking in the matter that put him in this situation. "No... I cannot die like this..."

The sharp end approaching Yinguredziek's chest at a rapid rate from a brisk throw, Yinguredziek held his left hand out, blocking the weapon from his chest, but puncturing his hand. In severe pain, he removed the stick from his hand and started charging the village chief, the weapon in his right hand. The chief stood in fright, and eventually was killed with Yinguredziek's charge; the crowd stood in terrified awe.

Instead of stopping to lay the chief's corpse at his feet and show the villagers that he was a force to be reckoned with, Yinguredziek plowed into the crowd full speed with the bamboo stick still in hand, forcing the crowd to move - either in a voluntary or compulsary matter - away from Yinguredziek as he raced toward the back of the town. After he had finally broken free of the crowd, he dropped the stick with the dead chief, still running. The villagers were mourning the chief's death rather than trying once again to kill Yinguredziek. Once one of them decided that Yinguredziek needed to die for another attempt, it was to late; Yinguredziek was gone.

Yinguredziek would never return to Tantrurtate again.

[Djynn Flyssa]

Sounds interesting...bear in mind I haven't done any forum RPing for a while, so forgive me if I arse it up.

Name: Grale

Age: In his early teens

Gender: male

Species: Yoshi, pink with blond hair

Personality: Shy, but playful with those he gets to know. He's a little immature, and tends to get on better with younger Yoshies.

Any non-combat items?: Yes, he keeps an interesting stone collection, and has a saddlebag into which he puts new ones he finds.

First- or Third-Person?: Third.

RP Sample/Intro:

*YYyyaawwwnnn!* Smacking his lips, Grale opened his weary eyes and grumbled as his peaceful afternoon nap was disturbed by a trail of ants venturing up his arm. He had fallen asleep in a small, shady clearing, and had thought that the largeish mound of dirt would make a good pillow, but only now did he realise that it was actually someone's home. Sitting up, he brushed the dirt from his hair with one paw - the one without any adventurous insects - before checking his surroundings to see if anyone was around, sniffing the air as well in case he caught an unfamiliar scent. Having detected no intruders to his shelter, he moved to face the anthill, taking a small twig in his free paw and poking a little at it. Before long, another line of ants appeared, and soon he had a whole platoon of bugs on him...

...that was when Grale remembered that he was not fond of creepy-crawlies, and yelled out for help!

[Teo]

Well this is quite interesting!!

Enrique, a superb start to the RP, we can tell you know what you're talking about. Welcome aboard.

Djynn, you seem to know what we're talking about too. So you're in this too.
