The Sister Island EDIT3(Sign ups closed)

[Chilaquiles]

Hundreds of miles from Yoshi’s Island, the only island believed to have the yoshi species thriving on it, is an even larger island, an island seemingly in the middle of nowhere. Nothing but clouds and pure ocean is seen from its golden beaches. It’s an island that’s been isolated for as long as it has existed. Yet, an island that bears a striking resemblance to the world renowned Yoshi’s Island in all aspects. From its native species to its geography, they are twin islands that have never met.

The Yoshis that live there lead a simple life. Only doing what needs to be done to make village life possible. But they have legends and stories that they tell. Legends that tell of a lost sister island out on the great sea, legends that tell of how the two islands were once a single continent, but were separated by someone, or some force of nature. Many of the yoshi elders were never passed on with the true tale, and as a result, the entire population does not know if the tales are true, or if they are just what they are called; Legends.

But recently something has been happening to the beaches of the lone island. Supposedly, at night, the sand of the beach changes in color. From a rich gold, to a murky brown, to a thick black. Few have seen this happen, and the ones that have claimed they did see it are usually dismissed and labeled as insane. Oddly enough, all the ones who claimed to see such a thing died of unknown causes soon afterward…

With each day, it becomes more and more obvious that something is happening. The elders of the village are having hallucinations, and their health is slowly withering. Skeptics claim that it’s only because of old age, but the things that the elders have muttered on their deathbeds is impossible to ignore.

”The robe…The one in the robe will be the end of us…”



Okay, so this is how it works, folks. Your character must either be a Yoshi, or a character that would be native to Yoshi’s Island. Having humans and dragons and stuff here would be too out of place. Provide a character description here in the sign ups that includes the *name, *age, *gender, *species and maybe some optional things you might want to include in the description.

Now! Weapons, a touchy subject, indeed. I’ll allow one weapon or special ability ONLY because no one can be too powerful than anyone else. And ONLY if you’re not a Yoshi. I know that means you don’t have many species to choose from if you DO want a weapon, but tough, sorry. (Really, you can be anything you’ve ever seen while playing Yoshi’s Island.)

Maybe we’ll get started at five people, depending on how fast things come in. Also! Your characters will be shown where to go and what to do, so try not to go off doing your own thing, or I will make sure your character dies.


EDIT: My own character won't be introduced until the story begins.
EDIT2: We'll see where we are on Sunday and maybe we'll start there if we have the people.
EDIT3: In case I haven't already PMed this to you guys:

A fair warning to all RP characters

In the Sister Island RP, Malthos will not hesitate to make attempts to kill your character in particular if he does not like him or her. And, if he succeeds, you will not be brought back to life in any way. This RP is one of survival, it may or may not have a happy ending. It's you all versus Malthos. I put very small limits on Malthos's power to make him undefeatable except by means of advancing the story to its very end, if the RPers manage to do this, they win and the good ending is given. If Malthos kills all of the RP characters first, then the unhappy ending is given.

This is all directly related to your character's actions, and Malthos's perception of that character. Think of Malthos as a final boss, avoid him until you can beat him.

I just need more people, hahah. But yes, I think it could be a lot more even genderwise, too.

[Sky]

Count me in!

Name: Skyler Haudvenia
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Species: Paratroopa
Weapon: Mailbag

Short description: Short, bright yellow paratroopa, sporting glasses over his brownish eyes. The reading type. Always carrying his mailbag, even though his mailing days are over. A sort of "hard to let go" item for him, his bad luck and clumsiness made him not the ideal paratroopa for mailing service. He does use it still, although nowadays for carrying things around with him, namely books.

[Chilaquiles]

All right, we've got five people, which is enough to begin.

People can still join, but they've got to include a description here, get it approved, and have to find a way to make an entrance that ISN'T way outta left field.

[Not-Garr]

Name: Lorro Lacunis
Age: He claims to be 17
Race: Blue Troopa
Personality: Somewhat wary of new people, very cautious, but known to rush into certain situations bravely simply for the hope of making new friends, and keeping them. He has a hate and fear of storms. He has a great love of reading and puzzles.
Weapon: A long pointed stick, usually used to gather fruit, he does use it as a weapon at times.
Brief Background: A loner due to misfortunes in his past, he has an odd conflict raging within him all the time between the yearning to make new friends, and the caution he's used to. As a result, he's very often quiet, punctuated with spats where he spouts ideas like a fountain.

[Chilaquiles]

About bloody time. Okay Gar, you're in.
