Closed [The Training Yard] First Steps.

After 3 years mandatory enlistment - and a trip home to say goodbye - Kwantu begins a new life.

(This is a thread from Mizahar's fantasy role playing forums. Why don't you register today? This message is not shown when you are logged in. Come roleplay with us, it's fun!)

Taloba, home to the Myrians, is the thriving core of Falyndar. Inhabited by a fierce and savage tribe where blood sacrifices are normal and a way of life, they are untamed and proud of it. Warlike, and with their numbers growing, the Myrians are set on reclaiming what is rightfully theirs. [Lore]

[The Training Yard] First Steps.

He finally knew that he had a place once more. None of the other places had really felt right, compared to the military. It all seemed just a little bit.. boring? And even his brief journey home, perhaps a few days of travel, had opened his mind to the possibility of never being able to return. The mere thought had been horrifying; now all his fears were resolved. It really showed by the bright smile that he wore all the way back to the room. Evidently, he wasn't the only one excited - he could see a few others, his future fangmates, grinning at each-other. A few others didn't really show much, though.. seemed that there would certainly be a diverse arrangement of warriors for this fang.

"Better get ready for that scouting mission Daku, try to keep up with the rest of us, eh?" he teased when he saw the man and his sister smiling at each-other. "Wouldn't want to ask your sister to carry you along.." With that, he turned his back and beamed all the brighter on the way to do some exploring of the new area, before they went off for their mission. He wanted to get to know his new place.. go back to the barracks to get to know some of his new fang-brothers, or go back to the training yard and get in some extra bells if possible. He'd need to find some new weapons to begin work on.. and he'd need to find some armour. The spar had rid his mind of all his worries and tasks but now they all came flooding back, and he realized just how much work the next several days would have. He'd be lucky if he got a moment of sleep.

But none of it mattered, really. He was going to kill some Dhani, and all that other good stuff. He'd be able to spend possibly the rest of his life - assuming that he got killed at some point during his journey, or maybe even not - fighting, hunting and killing. And that sounded pretty damn good.

Additional Notes :
One thing I wanted to note before I got into gushing about this thread was the first sentence or two of your first two. You mention how there weren't as many tears shed on Kwantu's mother's part as well as how this is what Kwantu's brothers and fathers did. This is something that clashes with the basic lore of Taloba. Females are the dominant sex here, they are the ones expected to be warriors. Of course everyone serves their time in the military, but no mother is going to cry when their son goes off to it, this is a point of pride, and if they do die in their time, there would be mourning, but Myrians are simply re-born in a newborn Myrian body, so there is not as much fear of death either with this cycle in place. Just wanted to clear that up for the future!

So this was a fun thread! I really really enjoyed how you played precisely to Kwantu's skill level with his spear, it is refreshing to see players really embrace the novice side of things, and now you have a nice 5 more XP in it towards getting to be awesome with it. I have added your job to your SS thread, a soldier starting the 1st of Spring with a starting pay of 7 GM per day. Also I will be making an NPC list shorlty for the DV thread for Taloba and will start making some of your fangmates as well as fleshing Reiki out. Once you have an idea of your fangmates/ have written a couple threads with them, submit them to the Amidst the Canopy thread and we'll assemble you fang!


Yes, I Bite.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding your grade, please send me a PM and we can figure it out. :)
