Welcome @Risyn_Mael, hope you'll enjoy writing with us here at DM. Your bio has now been CC'd and approved. You're free to start your intro RP. I'll be inviting you to the private WT board.

I'm going to approve this and assume, as the writer you do know she can't just *decide" to become an Aes Sedai. It's not clear whether the character knows she'll have to undergo testing but presumably you do so I'll let that pass. Enjoy writing.

Aha, Cass beat me to it. Consider this approved, very nicely written. 

Welcome Paige and my apologies for the delay in getting to your bio. I've been dealing with a family bereavement which was wholly unexpected. Just about to post your bio for approval now. Hope you enjoy being part of our DM family. ?

Edited to add: Scrub that! Cass beat me to it so it has been approved. Feel free to start your arrival RP. I'll invite you to the private Club board for the WT and you can ask any AS to RP with you or you can solo RP. Activity can be a bit sporadic so not sure who is around right now.

That's cool, Elessar. Thanks for checking in and letting me know you're still here etc. Burn out certainly happens after a bout of writing like that! We'll still be here when you feel like jumping back in.

Nice to see you. I remember you, so welcome back. If I can help, as RP Leader, or even if you just want to talk it over with someone, drop me a PM. Ok? Possible that some of those people are no longer active as we're a small group at the moment. 

Not giving you a present! With all the amazing bondeds you have, you don't really need anything else...right? 

Happy Birthday, sis. Hope your special day was as wonderful as you. Love ya xx 

Pretty much what Mat said. I'm around, if not writing much. No particular plans but Kiyi's available.

Thanks for the responses, folks. :)

It's fine, Arie. I'm not much better. As long as I know people are around and we can shout them if necessary. 

Cass, I know Jagen has at least one Seanchan char, probably more. Liitha and Lih-Lyh did too although not sure if the chars are active off hand.

Ok guys and gals, where are all my favourite RP folks?   Hustle your behinds in here and sound off. Let's see who's still lurking about.  Anyone needing anything just let me know (within reason. Yes, I'm looking at you Quibs. ).

Hey @Lih-Lyh, welcome back.  Apologies for the delay, I've been doing grown up stuff offline and just trying to get caught up. I'll add you to the private Clubs if you let me know which RP Groups you want to continue using. 

Ack I'm so behind...at the risk of spamming old threads, (Mumsy can spank me later), thanks to Ryrin as well. That was sweet. 

Awww slightly late responding but thank you @Maera ❤️ :) 

I'm now back after the holidays which turned out to be way busier with family stuff than I'd expected. Hopefully will get some time to write soon, my position on all RP's hasn't changed since last time!

I really didn't want to join another. 

lol you'd be joining another by starting a new one anyway, so there's no difference at the end of the day. Sin may have changed his mind or he may not be that bothered, it's just worth checking so folk don't end up duplicating work and/or stepping on toes. ?

DM Handle: Calindra

Character Name: Calindra Hejaran

Character Count: (1/24)

Age (must be 16 - 21): 21 years old

Place of Origin:  Caemlyn, Andor

Physical Appearance:  Calindra appears youthful and delicate; has dark brown eyes; full bodied lips; pale silky skin; a slender neck and delicate brows. Her raven tresses have been captured and braided into a ponytail that lands in the small of her back. Those wisps that remain uncaptured, wave gently in the breeze around her ears. She often wears plate armour and steel greaves to protect her torso and arms. In exchange for higher mobility and agility, she prefers wearing riding leather pants instead of wearing plate on her legs. (Bear in mind this will be after training in regards to the armour. Training equipment/armour is generally standard for everyone. ~Tay~)

Personality: Calindra is deeply spiritual and has espoused the belief that life is a never ending struggle between life and death, dark and bright. "Sometimes the Light must brave the darkness. Sometimes the Shadow wins." She is brave and idealistic, which often leads her to rush into a fight without thinking of the consequences. 

Character History

Hailing from a well established merchant family from Caemlyn, Calindra was schooled in the rudiments of business from a very young age, in the hopes that she'd take over the family business. She accompanied her father wherever trade brought him, and was busy seeing a lot of the mainland, its various peoples, traditions, and dialects as she learned how to conduct negotiations, how to value goods, and about the local economies and business mathematics.

As with any trade convoys, some of the voyages required mercenaries to protect the convoys. At first, the sword carrying men-in-armour didn't really interest her, unless they had horses. As she grew, however, it became more and more apparent that she was starting to enjoy watching them as they practiced sword handling. Not being one to stay on the sidelines, she decided to take up the sword and begged her father to let her join the mercenaries in their practices. He refused, claiming that a mercenary life wasn't good enough for his daughter, but he had seen the passion in her eyes and knew better than to assume that it had been the end of the discussion.

Unknown to her, her father purposely brought them to Tar Valon. He saw how his daughter watched the Warders as they practiced, and he knew that he'd held onto her for as long as he could. Still, he made sure she helped finish their trading business within the city. He eventually turned to their task master, "Get us ready to leave within the hour, will ya? My daughter and I have one last bit of business to do before we get going."

"If you're to espouse the blade, daughter, then you will learn from the best masters in the land," he had said when they finally reached one of the local smithies. "I will not stand in the way of your dreams, lass. I see how you look at them as they practice. Smith! No daughter of mine will handle a sword until I'm satisfied that she'll be protected." He turned to her, tears in his eyes, and held her in his arms. 

He paid the smith when he was done and accompanied her to the Tower gates. "I know you'll do yer ol' father and mother proud, love. I’ll visit when next I can."

It's the Entertainment Club that was interested in hosting it, not the RP. I was just suggesting Cal talk to SinisterDeath before going any further since Entertainment is an existing, active Club and Sin had already expressed interest in running it before this thread started. 

Ha! I know that name. *grins* Welcome back, Cleo. Lovely to see you.

Is it North by Northwest?

Yes. Yes it is.  Well done. One of my all time favourites. 

Welcome back, banded mine. *smoochies and huggles* Good to have you with us again. 

*arches eyebrow* Whilst I completely approve of the sentiment behind that post, killing horsies is a very bad thing. Just no. Bad Zan, go to the naughty corner! 

Lava, don't worry about trying to understand, you'll just hurt yourself.

Welcome back, Jak.

Thank you, bro and welcome home. 

I remember you talking about your Dad before. Not sure about the Infantry thread but I'll have a look.

I like the poppies too; buying one is a donation direct to charities that specifically support veterans. I bought a pin badge this year from Poppy Scotland because I know they provide funding to the Scottish War Blinded centre at Linburn, just along the road from us. Davy's Dad was very involved there, right up until he passed away, so it's a nice way to keep the connection going.

Yes 

and

Yes 

(Between you, you've got two of the 3 genres. You're still missing one of those listed against the film.)

I believe Sinister was considering this as part of the Entertainment Club. He'd cleared with me that I didn't intend to have it as part of the RP Club. So may be worth having a chat with him. Be easier working together rather than trying to start a whole new Club. Just a thought.

I'm here! I had to let things slide for a bit between health and work but should be able to pick things up again, especially with holidays coming up. Owen's still around too, we chatted recently about the plans for our next RP and he's waiting for me to post still.

Arinth's still busy with work/offline stuff so our Band RP is completely stalled until that changes.

Likewise, Lii is waiting for me on a couple of RP's for Band and Wolfkin but we'll get there. 

Thanks for helping out, Lii. I don't have any Freelander chars myself and I'd rather not have to pull out NSW's. It's not as much fun for Cal if I have to do that.
