• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Closed The Labyrinth

Icalasari

YAY! NEW AVATAR! :D
This is based on a dream I had awhile ago. The premise is this:

A group of humans wake up in on the bottom floor of a massive, four floor labyrinth. They are scattered among the whole area, completely separated. The Labyrinth is filled with traps, monsters, and puzzles that require intelligence, luck, and, sometimes, team work, to navigate through. The place is highly dangerous. Nobody knows how they got there, but they all know one thing:

They must get out

I will implement a sort of 'stat' system. It is considered in battle, and also comes into play with certain puzzles. It goes as follows:

Defence: Usually a result of some sort of natural body armour. It allows one to survive attacks better
Strength: The species respective strength
Mind: A species intelligence. The higher the mind is, the easier puzzles will be. Also, more complex weapons can be made
Luck: Obviously, the higher this is, the better able a species is able to survive
Speed: How fast a species is

There is no real stat system, but it kind of goes like this. If a species has, say, naturally 2 points in Defence, then obviously a human, whom is weak, will likely need a weapon to harm them. See what the stats are now? They are essentially just a way to prevent things like godmodding. It will also help one decide what to be. Also, they are used in Puzzles, deciding what is needed. So, sometimes it may be in the best interest of, say, a Minotaur, to side with a Human to solve a puzzle so that they can get to more humans. The rp is all about alliances to achieve what you want

There are several things you can be. I will cover them all below:

Human - One of the humans that wakes up on the bottom floor. Their speciality is their intellect. Note that, if you choose this, you can wake up in the same area as only ONE other human being. Any number of people can choose to be human

Bonuses: +2 Mind, -1 Strength, -1 Defence


Werewolf - An anthropomorphic wolf, they have average intelligence, but are very swift and deadly. Only up to three people can be werewolves. If there are left over spots, then those will be NPC's

Bonuses: +2 Speed, -2 Defence


Minotaur - Stupid creatures, they rely on brute strength to solve problems. 2 spots

Bonuses: +2 Strength, -2 Mind


Fairy - Small, humanesque creatures, they have the most bonuses of all, at a great cost. 2 spots

Bonuses: +2 Mind, +2 Luck, -2 Strength, -2 Defence


Golem - Very stupid beasts, they often rely on humans to get them through puzzles. 3 spots

Bonuses: +2 Defence, +1 Strength, -2 Mind, -1 Speed


Sphinx - The master of Puzzles, these beasts are great allies, and deadly foes. 1 spot

Bonuses: +3 Mind, -3 Speed

Name: Eric
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Appearance: Dark brown, almost black, short hair. Brown eyes. Glasses. Black runners. Brown shorts. Grey shirt
History: A bit of a geek, Eric is not very fit. He has spent alot of his life indoors, reading books and playing on the computer. He always loved strategy games involving the mythological, but never would he expect to be in the same situation as the heroes of his favourite games!
Personality: Despite being somewhat anti-social, he can be outgoing at times. He tries to think things through, but sometimes has a very hot head and nasty temper, causing him to rush into things occasionally. He can be very friendly, despite not liking people as a whole
Area you start in: South-west corner of the fourth floor

Name: Otorio
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Species: Werewolf
Appearance: Otorio has brown hair that ends in two dull points at the back. He has a dark blue shirt and a black jacket, with khaki shorts.
His werewolf form has white fur with a bluish tint and glowing yellow eyes. He has long, sharp fangs and a "mane" of fluffy, spiky fur covering his neck, upper back and shoulders.
History: Otorio always liked to be out and about, and he also loves to explore. His favorite place to go was the library, where he read books about all kinds of things. He was good at programming computers, until he got stuck in the labyrinth. He can't remember how, though.
Personality: Um, yeah. I'm not good at posting personalities, so I'd like to play it out. If I can't though, I can post something descriptive that's somewhat easy to follow.
Area you start in: Southeast corner of the third floor

Name: Shine
Age: ??? (If that's okay)
Gender: Female
Species: Sphinx
Appearance: ...What DOES a sphinx look like? I don't know.
History: Shine once guarded an important treasure, owned by a king, with all her might. During an attack, she fought fiercely, but was killed. However, somehow, she was given a second life. She woke up in an odd forest, where she lived until suddenly she had fainted mysteriously and ended up at the labyrinth.
Personality: Shine usually likes to take charge, unless the situation includes pie. She will do anything for anyone who has earned her trust; however it's not easy to earn her trust. She'll usually be hostile about strangers, and warms up to them slowly. Behind her somewhat unfriendly demeanor lies a sensitive and caring heart.
Area you start in: The second floor.
 
Name: Giza
Age: 100 years
Gender: Female
Species: Shinx Sphinx
Appearance: Like a normal sphinx. Brownish body, human head, lion body, paws, and tail.
History: Giza was a small sphinx, built for a mummy's tomb. She stayed inanimate for about 20 years, until tomb raiders broke in, and brought her to life using magic. They wanted her to destroy the tomb, but she refused, and killed them instead, escaping into the desert. She has wandered it ever since, occasionally coming upon other tombs, and building up her intelligence through solving the puzzles within, although she never took anything when she reached the end.
Personality: Giza is somewhat of a loner, although she understands that she may have to join others to get out, and is cool and calm in almost all situations. She is confident, perhaps even a bit too sure of herself, and sees this as only another challenge.
Area you start in: Third floor, northern area

A sphinx is a sort of lion with a human (normally female) head. Some have wings. Also, fix the appearance, and you are accepted :D
 
Please do so. Also, you forgot something

Okay. Sorry; I was so excited for this RP that I forgot to put that.

Anyway:

Name: Otorio

Personality: Otorio is hostile against people he doesn't know. He is serious and somewhat good at solving moderately hard puzzles. He is kind and gentle around people he knows but, like I said, he usually doesn't trust people he doesn't know. Otorio likes reading and will think over a situation carefully before doing anything. That is, if there's time.
Area you start in: Southeast corner of the third floor
Other: *throws pie, cake and ice cream at Gardevoir and Magikarp*
 
>: I didn't see that. I will post this, then destroy the solar system in my rage. Because I'm so sure that it's only that I filled out appearance and thought out stuff that I posted second.

...Because I know I most definitely started first, even if I didn't post first.
 
Well, you and Darksong will have to talk it out. Until then, though, Darksong will be the Sphinx, as they did post first and were accepted as long as they fix the appearance part D:

Name: Ketarin Vorath
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Species: Werewolf
Appearance: Fur coloring is light grey with a spot of white on his forehead. His clothing is a simple cloak and pants, midnight blue in color.
History: Ketarin was born in a large forest, in a village of wolves, humans, and half-breeds. He lived happily for a few years, until he attracted the attention of the forest's thug lord, Renvis Kernin, and was nearly beaten to death when he refused to join Renvis's gang. After the beating, he was thrown out of the forest, and wandered all over the world, searching for a place to live, but to no avail, for his forest was unique in its acceptance of hybrids, and he was exiled from forests and villages alike. He eventually found the Labryinth where he now lives in solitude.
Personality: Due to his conflict with both humans and werewolves in his past, Ketarin is unfriendly to both races. He is quiet, and slightly depressing, but will be extremely loyal to those who earn his trust.
Area you start in: Fourth floor, in a large circular room, that he has turned into a minature forest with seeds he found on his travels.
Other: Pie...

Name: Avalon
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Species: Fairy
Appearance: She's about 3 inches tall, with fair skin and long, dark hair, coming down to her waist. Her four wings are each about 2 inches long and resemble a dragonfly's wings. She wears a bright red two-piece dress: top and miniskirt, with pink and green floral decorations, and she also wears a golden tiara, with three ruby gemstones on the right, center, and left of it respectively.
History: Avalon was born in a grassy meadow, littered with beautiful wildflowers. While it was a pleasant, happy life, she eventually got bored with it, and flew off in search of adventure. She was attracted to the Labyrinth by the prospect of being in a game, and doesn't really care that it could be dangerous.
Personality: Avalon is hyper, playful, and very vain. She loves to play games with just about anyone she sees, despite whether or not the creature is hostile. For the most part, their crying screams to stop become part of the game. She always wants to be the center of attention. If she feels ignored, insulted, or otherwise spited, however, she can become quite irritable... and heaven help whoever becomes the target of her wrath. Her favorite food, both to eat and play with, is blueberry pie.
Area you start in: Somewhere in the middle of the third floor.

:/ I'll just be a fairy. Atleast they're not retarded. I'll lose anyway, since it's impossible for me to actually win at anything. So for me let's just change the +2 Luck to -2, shall we?
Fits me more. Even though in real life it would be, like, -1000

Name: Ceta
Age: 27
Gender: Female
Species: Fairy
Appearance: Ceta is about 8 inches tall and has bright red hair, with tiny, barely visible freckles, only not standing out because they're tiny, and to someone her size they are very visible. She wears a green, sparkly dress, no shoes, and has tiny, butterfly-like wings.
History: When Ceta was born somewhere in Ireland, she was cursed with bad luck, which truely shows. She has been driven into solitude deep into a forest near the sea, cursing everyone who comes near, so that most have been warned not to venture near. She doesn't know how she got here, but has generally refused to cooperate with others.
Personality: Ceta is tough and mean, not really getting along with anyone. She is a spiteful, jealous fairy, desiring revenge against everyone, even if they've done nothing to her.
Area you start in: Same. Northern part of the third floor

Pie

EDIT: The other spot has been taken too, so I'll just quit because God hates me to death.

EDIT2: I mean God hates me to death and beyond. I will now be killing off every RP character I have and kill myself too.
 
It's okay, shadow_lugia. You can be the sphinx. I'll sign up as a Minotaur since it's fun being dumb (but not too dumb)!
Name: Gairran
Age: 94
Gender: Female
Species: Minotaur
Appearance: She stands on two legs with hoofs as feet. Her tail is long and slender, with a poisonous spike at the end. Gairran is rather muscular, and she has two forelegs ending in clawed hands. Her head is like a mountain lion's, but has two horns like a bull's. Her eyes are a dark green, with slit pupils like a cat's. Gairran is a dark brown color.
History: Gairran originally was born and lived in the mountains, staying away from humans, in fear that they might discover and capture her. However, a couple of humans had started a fire (on accident, she figured) and she fled the mountain. After 24 hours straight of running, she collapsed, and awoke in the strange labyrinth.
Personality: Gairran is outgoing and mostly follows. She prefers to be inconspicuous, and she is very sensitive. Usually she shies away from most people, but the cause of this skittish behavior is just that she needs a friend who will always be there when she needs them. Despite her shyness, she loves to battle.
Area you start in: The south-east corner of the third floor, with no pie.
 
Oh yeah! Can I change my appearance?


Name: Otorio
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Species: Werewolf
Appearance: Otorio has silvery gray fur and a long, thick tail. His teeth and claws are unusually sharp.
History: Otorio always liked to be out and about, and he also loves to explore. His favorite place to go was the library, where he read books about all kinds of things. He was good at programming computers, until he got stuck in the labyrinth. He can't remember how, though.
Personality: Otorio is hostile against people he doesn't know. He is serious and somewhat good at solving moderately hard puzzles. He is kind and gentle around people he knows but, like I said, he usually doesn't trust people he doesn't know. Otorio likes reading and will think over a situation carefully before doing anything.

I thought we were werewolf werewolves, not wolf werewolves. So I changed my appearance so that Otorio doesn't look dumb.
If that's okay with you.

That was a typo XD I meant -1 speed. Also, you still need to put the personality. It isn't set in stone. It is just the personality they start with

Accepted if you promise that you put in the history

Also, Shadow_Lugia, you CAN be the Sphinx. Since Darksong took a minotaur position instead, having filled out all fields properly for the minotaur before doing so for the Sphinx, then you, officially, get the spot :D
