Vila Rai Hobbie — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 18:44:47 +0000

I'm not too sure quite where to post this.. But..

I'm looking for an ElfQuest, forum based roleplay. Last time a looked under Holts of the EQ site, but none were active. So here I am, for the first time posting.. Asking if there are active roleplays..

OR

if anyone is interested in being a part of one. I'd be totally willing to make a page and what not, but I don't want to unless I know there will people interested in joining.

Thanks so much for taking the time to read, and I hope for responses.

Losing a Holt to Play in Is Like Character Death

Red Arrow — Sun, 03 Mar 2013 20:21:16 +0000

Hello all! I was dropping a thread here to start discussion about players who have had their holts ripped out from underneath them. Personally, I want to extend an invitation to do something unprecedented. I would like to form a Holt specifically made up of surviving characters from lost tribes or failed games. Run by all of us, moderated by a council of 3 to 5 players, all of which will be voted on by the entirety of the players, who will use skype or uploaded vids of dice rolls to determine major turns of events, conversely, I have a dice roll generator on my pc and can take screenshots of the rolls. i am an experienced roleplayer of many kinds of games from live action to table and dice to card games. I am looking for people who have a burning desire to see a game to the end for a character that was just blossoming into something really fun when the game was cut short/cancelled and that character went into imagination limbo. As an aspiring writer, I feel i have a way to merge the characters via storylines and welcome input and creative contributions of all players. i am just burning for a chance to play a character into its death, albeit from uncharacteristic old age or the way a wolfrider truly lives and dies, by the turning of the moons. Well? Anyone game so to speak?

Katra's Tribe.

Victoria Aldrich — Wed, 19 Dec 2012 12:40:24 +0000

(I am guessing this is where I meet those who roleplay lol. Yes. I am a cub to this, however not to roleplay or story writing. My name is Victoria, but the elf next to me is Katra of Nine Lives. 12 years ago I was re-brought into the world of TWO MOONS again and a friend and II were to do a spin off of Elfquest. She is no longer in the picture. So it is up to me to hold torch proudly. So here it goes. Hit or miss right? I am doing a comic spin off of ElfQuest and I am looking for the role players who know what are doing. I am looking for the unique and special characters people bring in and would not mind getting their paws in on the opportunity to get into a story and hopefully full comic form. Katra's Pride follows a group of high ones who left and instead of finding the wolves, they found a group of large ancient cave lions. I know "cats" may have been used before by others, but I am going full out comic. I can do group or solo roleplays, I like to get to know the characters a bit to see where they will fit in the story. I have a blogspot with the start and pictures of some of my characters.

When I see how many are truly interested in this I shall post more about the world and such, if no takers then I wont bake a carrot cake for those who are into carrot cakes. lol

The roleplay follows Katra's tribe as they are forced out of the desert lands and into the forest where we cross paths with the wolfriders but do not focus on them. Everything is still in rough draft format and will be improved later as well. All relationships types are open, I am a little weary about letting people play originals unless they can play them true to characters. I have several tribes in which are open for those who want to join in on some of the fun...

So far the "mounts" I have or animal bonds are Cave Lions, Large swamp lizards, and a huge prehistoric bird species I can not pronounce. lol. Please be kind with your posts, concerns, rants and questions. I am new to the forums and wont bite if you do not bite me. Those who are interested must post a detailed character sheet/ description (I love to draw characters and scenes) and post a 2-3 paragraph of your rpg sample. I WANT to add your characters in the comic and stories and show them to Elf mom and dad... To have others in the comics besides me, myself and I.. I just do not want to put up with those who want to ruin the fun of it for everybody else... To be fair I will post the same.

Name: Nameless: (yes that is his name)
Age: 200 years old (looks about 25ish)
Tall as Cutter
Skin: Dark Tan ( Like Rayek. sun folk or tan as EQ gets. Darkest shade.)
Eyes: Dark deep forest green right eye. Wound yellow left.
Hair: Short scruffy messy hair
Body type: Lean muscular(Build between Skywise and Longbaw.)
Clothing: Black lion stone mask (fierce looking. Covers top of head to upper lip, revealing the lower lip and chin.)
Leather leggings or loin cloth. No shirt usually. Canine teeth necklace. Leather foot bindings.
Scars/ Tattoos/ Piercings: Going from right to left is massive scars from weapons, fires and animal attacks that fade and scatter as they become less on the left side. Head to foot. Really mad disfiguring burns, wounds that never healed right, affecting vision on that side, function of shoulder to hand is limited as well as leg. (still has two balls yes but you can see "he got lucky in keeping them.)
The scars are to the point he HAS to have the mask on. Right shoulder sits lower than left shoulder. Missing or ragged left ear. Wound takes out vocal chords or effects speech badly.
Is not usually clothed but has been known to wear loin cloth of some thing he killed. ( most likely Hyena) and the skull bones are belt buckle with a few feathers or something. This or tattered ragged leggings.
The hair is effected by the wound, it can look as a mohawk or be really rat nesty on the right and more tame on the left. Falls about the mask like a short mane.
Twin short blades of animal tooth and a long bow are weapon of choice.
( I could add more but I do not want to spoil the character.)

Sample post:

The cold air of morning was crisp and cool as it brought the aroma of morning life through the forest. The whipping winds danced within the dens and out, along the rocky paths and along the trees and shrubs till it lingered down into a dark cave, the opening foreboding and frightening as the smell of death wafted up from its gaping mouth. Down through the tunnel into the dark passages. There it swirled and mingled with the smells already in there. The walls were adorned with skulls of human, troll, elf and animal. Furs and pelts, claws and teeth on stared for and used. Leathers were prepped and ready for use as stones masks from simple lions faces to frightening. Sizes from small to large and the smaller ones well used and cracked.

Upon the the ground was a bundle of furs, slowly they stirred as the thing cocooned within its layers groaned. It was a gargled strange noise as the crippled arms stretched with hands of four fingers. They gripped the furs and pulled then down to the sturdy chest. A puff of onyx hair exploded from it as a pair of eyes. One a deep forest green and the other a yellow, sightless. Yawning he stretched again and then gargled a groan, his right side mangled and burned badly as he rubbed his shoulder. For as long as he remembered it always ached when the weather cooled. It was not a good sign for him. The tanned elf sat up, his body riddled right to left with massive scars from head to toe and faded to the left side. Ear tattered, throat damaged to the point of no vocal sound, or not much of one. His face so bad he has been shunned by his own people, his own tribe unable to glance upon him, all the way to his gender and feet. He now lazily reaches for a mask, a favorite of his. Black and fierce as the nightmarish black cave lion he bonded with. Cold to the touch and yet made perfectly. Grasping it, he pulls it close and runs a hand over the smoothed stone. He places it against his scarred ravaged face and secures the sturdy leather straps around his head. He could see daylight at the far tunnel, the sounds of day growing ever more.

I REMEMBER

Yanclae — Sat, 08 Dec 2012 17:03:16 +0000

groweing as a young child in cleveland hghts, I remember watching the football contests broadcast. my family was at house 928 roanoke road and I was used asking father, "if I should pray for interceptions, it will happen?" (sure);, so we watched this way with our gimmicks and shortcomings, and a trifle of harsh resentments when the play call form the referee watchers did not bode for OUR team.

I remember eric metcalf #21, bernard "bernie"kosar #19 and the rook kevin mack . the eighties, and trhe second franchise for play in clevbeland stadium. coach marty s. the one who coaches the "chiefs" and the "chargers". in addition. but how the second cleveland moved int baltimore

being there in the house, watching the contests in '87 & '88 with broncos mr. Johnathan Elway #7 arrive in town and Jeremia make brilliant saves, in the AFC champion man was that so incredible I remember most if not the whole city populace was making things seem appering as a curse.. the "cures of cleveland" was the term I think.

there were mascots: the "dawg" pound on one end like dogs with waving "growl towels", the fans waved them in circling form. but an "brownie the elf" who tucked thee gamepiece in his arm and smiled as a frog may appear smiling.

I remember those eighties, ands I stood in the stands they last game it was when phildelphia eagls came and scored 28 points and the browns none.

Veritas (A Self-Elf Post -Apoc Holt)

StarShine — Tue, 13 Nov 2012 14:14:46 +0000

Veritas
-- This Word Means: "Truth"

Imagine for a moment, that we're not following Timmain's High Ones.

Image we follow,a host of other High ones, their names may have been Larlo,Cinma, Nasri,Zalte, Kasle Tasly,Tusre... and many many more as their ship finds a small world.

Lets just imagine that this world is Earth, our Earth.
Let's imagine that the ship doesn't crash but lands gently.

These Ancient ones, leave their ship safelty and commune with the inhabitants of their new world.

Fast Foreward.

In the mind of school children, teachers, businessmen, house moms & dads, college students professors, Doctors in their opperating rooms...

**COME. SAFETY. ETERNAL LIFE.**

Almost to a one those that hear the voices stop what they are doing.
By night fall, crowds of people moving in unison towards this silent call.

The Mountains of several countries shine with a multicolored aurora. (Several smaller 'palaces' were used to house the returning.)

The date was the eve of December 21, 2012.

Just before Dawn, the ships wink out of existance.
The Stars await. The Great Palace, now holds thousands of people, different languages, cultures and customs.

Again the unknown voice brushe their minds:

**We are Safe. We Will Survive. We will Thrive.**

The ship settles on a distant planet, far from Earth, far from Abode-the World of Two Moons.

In this sky, hangs tripple moons.

"Veritas." A voice whispers quietly.

But what happens when hundreds of people, must now learn to think, a new?
What happens hen Elfquest, suddenly becomes very real?
What happens when a child(or adults) 's stories of elves, and their powers suddenly becomes your own story?

What happens when dormant blood begins to race?
What happens when you must learn to live in a way your modern life has never accustomed you to live?

Essentially this a self-elf Holt, but set up so that anyone who chooses may play:
- A 'High One/Ancient One' (a.k.a Those Who Have Gone Before, The Precusors)
-An EQ-style Elf (Perhaps some of the Ancient Ones really did, take Timmain's Path with all manner of Animals, but lived much closer to the Palaces)
-A 'human' turned Elf (One of the Modern 'humans' who's elf blood runs dormant, until Dec. 21st- though perhaps they've always had small magics.)

Searching for a holt

Emilie — Wed, 24 Oct 2012 10:12:01 +0000

Hi.
I'm not quite sure this is the right place to do it, but I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good European Holt to me? I live in Denmark, and therefore I go to sleep around the time when American holts starts getting active, so I always loose out on all the fun (when I get online it feels like the whole internet is a barren wasteland). I would apreciate if someone could help me

Emilie.

To Holt or not to Holt?

Leafpath — Thu, 04 Oct 2012 00:28:07 +0000

Hi everyone. I've peered at the list and it looks like none of the holts accept original characters. I understand why this is (for uniformity and such), but I'd like to go the complete opposite!

Why not have a holt made up of completely original characters? I suppose we could separate them into mini-holts in case we get some really good original ideas (fox-friends, anyone?)...

Opinions? Suggestions? Let me know!

TwoMoons MUH/Elfquest :The MUsh!

StarShine — Thu, 05 Jul 2012 12:22:52 +0000

If anyone remembers Two Moons MUSH from way back, a friend and I are considering starting a new Elfquest mUSH- if anyone has expertise in the MU*ing community we'd love your help!

Premise: What if Winnowill had succedded?

Continuity Break:
Seige of Blue Mountain #8 (page 2).

What if Winowill had successed in getting the BlueMountain-egg into space (after perhaps flying around and collecting more magical-folk (Savah,Timmain,Strongbow, Windkin,Ahdri ect) and they pilot the fly egg 'elsewhere only to crash land on anothe world. This crash landing on this unknown world with one thought: SURVIVE.

-For referenc, Winowill choose magicaly strong people or those with potential, but Suntop and Leetah got killed at Blue Mountain.

This second 'palace' may have absorbed the orginial palace.

So the premise is : Survive (we'll have our own varients of the Tribes, since now all the elves are out in the open now and the gliders can hide away they must survive.

Most of the tribes (or people from tribes) that have been brought along were ripped from their homes and cooped up in this Bluemountain-egg. How do the elves deal with it? Are their recognitions births... deaths? (plenty of room for Originals characters either born in route or taken along a children.)

Looking more specifically for:

1) A Coder: PennMUSH,TinyMUSH, or Tiny MUX will be be the code-base.

-A Coder who can code us a Chargen, and build us a few custom commands for the game (Nothing too complicated)
-A Set of commands dealing with Bond-Animals/Puppet (potentially)-If anyone is familar with Pern's DTU(Dragon Talk Unit) it would be similar to that).
-Room Zoner/Parent to allow us to 'quick build' rooms after the initial phase, and give it a basic description(until it was flesh out more).
--RoomsII:The Ability to make temporary 'floating rooms' (linked off the room it was created in, with exits ect to allow for temp sceneing-or for plot purposes- but maybecome permenant).

Any thing else that may come up but I think those are basics and I wouldn't ask for too much more.

Builder: We need someone who can Build/Desc Rooms (though they be purely descing rooms vs. Building them if we get a quick room/build & link parent going.

Holts and roleplay?

Wrapstuff — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 04:21:32 +0000

I've never roleplayed in a Holt before, but would like to. Set in the earlier days of the Wolfriders. I'd love to roleplay as Rellah, a young Graywolf or Owl, or even as a younger Two-Spear, but I have no idea how these sorts of things are done.

Is this something anyone else would be interested in?

Thunderwater Holt

crescent1325 — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 19:33:53 +0000

HI! I know I have a Thunderwater thread open already, but for some reason, when I click on that thread, it redirects me to a thread that Gazelle had made and I can't edit it..

And right now I need to, since I've been putting off creating this info thread for far to long. So if you're interested in it, below is some quick info about Thunderwater Holt

The Holt mainly operates over a BB board. We share art, stories and of course the main focus is on the RPG. Thunderwater just celebrated it’s 5th anniversary (but don’t fear, people gladly will help you to catch up on important stuff – just ask ^^ ) .

Check out the Forum here: http://thunderwaterholt.freeforums.org/index.php

Admins are : Crescent , Icebird, Redshine and Darkleaf

The Setting:
Thunderwater Holts takes place at a Tropical setting. Palms, Jungle and an Ocean to play with.
The elves living here are colourful pure-blooded and mostly easy going elves. Life has been peaceful, for the most part. There is a trolltribe close by they now and then interact and trade with. More of a problem is the human tribe who showed some hostility against the elves.

The tribe:

Actually the holt curreltly is the home of 3 tribes.
The Tunderwater Elves
The seaside Elves
And The Wanderes

Thunderwater and Seaside live together at the moment after the home of the Seaside elves was destroyed by a Tsunami. Since two years the survivors and the Thunderwater elves live together and learned they actually share a history, way back.

The Wanderes are relatively new and didn’t meet up with the other two tribes yet. Unlike the Seaside and Thunderwater elves the Wanderes are used to a rough surrounding. They are a relative small group who, like the name suggests are wandering through the world, riding horses and facing snow and cold, such as heat and hunger. (No magic elves here)

It can be played in all of these named Tribes.

The Story:

At this point in the game the tribe of Thunderwater and Seaside is pretty much one. After a near death experience Century, the chief of Thunderwater, decided to go for a quest to look for the palace.
He took a few elves and began a journey on a ship travelling from island to island to find answers in the souls of his ancestors. The tribe split and now back at their home, his daughter Softglow, a young girl took over the duty as a chief in his absence.

Back at the home, now Softglow has to deal with the thread of a tribe of hostile humans, who just killed a member of the tribe, while some still try to cope being separated from their family and loved ones who went with Century.

The Wanderes are just started and so we are still in the “Getting to know you” game, where they just can go out again after a 2 day snowstorm.

Current Adoptable:

Darklance:

2003 years old Immortal, Love/Lifemate: Deerprance, Kits: Flight & Lonerider.

Darklance has black hair, dark hazel eyes, and pale skin. He is an expert with the staff, and once took down eight bucks on his own in under a minute. He prides himself on his hunting and, if brought to talk about it, he is extremely haughty about how many tribemates he has initiated. Of course, many of them are now deceased, but more than one remain, whether they will admit it or not. He has a particular soft spot for his lifemate’s friend Mismatch, and her Recognized, Matchflare.

He was devoted to his lifemate Giftgreen, and was terribly crushed when she died; he keeps the wooden necklace she made him by his heart at all times. He is fiercely proud of his son Flight, who reminds him of the best qualities in himself and his late Recognized. His relationship with Lonerider is more complicated, and often leaves him puzzled and concerned.

He is well known for his wit, but he can often be sarcastic, or taken as arrogant. His lifemating with Deerprance has softened him somewhat, and he is very conscious of being good to her and Chime’s daughters.

He was a good friend to Chime and Deerprance, and when Chime died and Deerprance withdrew into herself, he couldn't take it and determined to bring her back to herself. From then on they eventually became loving lifemates.

Currently he's on the boat with his chief.

Flight

803 years old. Immortal, Hunter, Love/Lifemate: Calliope, Kits: Kitt (Adopted), Parents: Darklance(M) , Sibling: Lonerider(M)

He has reddish hair and green eyes, and lightly tanned skin, and resents being the brother of Lonerider, who was mean to him as a child and shunned him as he grew older.

He loves his lovemate Calliope dearly, and wants to lifemate, but isn't sure how to say it.

Flight is a good runner, and is the fastest in the tribe, resulting in his name. He gets very angry whenever someone strikes a nerve, like his kinship with Lonerider or similar, and tends to sulk a bit when things don't go entirely his way. He loves kits, and doesn't understand why Eveningstar and Century's kit being outside of Recognition would bother anyone, and is a firm friend of his chief.

Whisper

5003 years old, Immortal. Elder/Story Teller, Love/Lifemate: Cascade (F), Kits: Mismatch

Being the eldest of the Thunderwater Holt has earned him the title of “Storyteller”. He is only three generations away from the first-comers and is tall and regal. He has violet eyes and silver hair. The kits of the tribe like him, for even though he is the tribes elder, he still loves to play around like a young kit.

The memories of his parents are lost in the mist of the many years he has. He enjoys good times with his tribe. He had a lifemate once, Sea, but she died in a great storm and he has refrained from taking a mate since. You can now see him spending much time with his apprentice, Nightdawn and the two have become very close.

Panther

553 years old. Immortal, Archer, no living family,

Panther has very dark brown hair and almost black eyes, and is a champion archer. He is silent in his steps and conservative in his words, not angering but showing his point when he feels he must. He is very polite to everyone, but has a hard outer shell that only a few people who are close to him have been able to crack.

His relationship with Rushingwater has no real love in it, it is mainly for the title, and Panther knows this. They are no match, they are opposites, but Panther lives in sin hoping that sparks will truly fly between them one day.

Seashell

603 years old. Immortal. Jewellery Maker, Love/Lifemate: Deepswim (just was killed) Kits: Flitter, Parents: Mossberry (F)

Seashell is the most beautiful one of the tribe, with brown corkscrew curls and bright green eyes, but she doesn't realize it. She is calm, modest and kind to everyone; she also shares a very close bond with her mother. Seashell is the devoted lifemate of Deepswim and the doting mother of Flitter.

She has an uncontrollable habit of collecting seashells, to the point where Tanfall started making her clothes with pockets all over for her to fill. And each time she goes shell-collecting she always fills them to brim. Sometimes she even hunts them down on the sea floor.

She makes the jewelry of the tribe, not just from seashells, but from coral, mother of pearl, feathers, and crystal shards.

Jade

902 years old. Immortal, former Chief of Sea Side Holt, now mostly weaponmaker, no living Family, Closest friend Adria

Jade has lightly tan skin, ebony hair and emerald colored eyes. He became chief at the young age of 66 when his chieftess mother was killed by a spotted cat attack against the holt. He grew to be a stern chief and detested pranks more than anything.

When young Coralsand decided it would be fun to play pranks on him he grew angry and when he couldn't take it any longer he reprimanded her severely. This didn't solve anything except for Coralsand to become more attached to her stern chief.

One night after Rumbleclam insisted on making him partake in a dreamberry eating contest with him he woke up in his den in the company of a decadent Coralsand. To his complete horror he had learned from Coralsand that he had just finished initiating her. Jade was not one to share the furs so easily, he had always wanted to wait until he found the one he loved and often went centuries without a single roll in the furs.

They had decided to remain friends after that but not too much later they were sharing furs once more. However they stayed on a friendly level, not ever becoming anything more than that. Then one day she was gone. Sharktricker (Coralsand) had left against his advice with her brother Magpie, and Cascade to search for their friends Oceansong and Swiftflow during the season of storms.
It was only after she was gone that Jade realized how much he had cared for the young pest and hoped that one day she returned home safely. And slowly, time has helped him move on. The past year, he adjusted back into the roll of chief and remained reclusive in the furs, still waiting to find the one he would love forever.

One day a Tsunami hit the island he and his tribefolk inhabited. Everything was destroyed and nearly everyone dead save for him and 3 others. They immedietly set out to the sea to find some sort of shelter and safety. After a few weeks the group was seperated by a storm and he was left alone with Reefedge where they finally washed up on an island.

Jade is currently having a hard time fitting in. He is a tough character to play and involved in bigger plot being made (yet it's still open if that plan will be carried out. Please ask the admin about it)

Caydin
(Sorry no picture yet)
713 old immortal, Weaponmaker/Carver/Guard, Lifemate-Serrah,

Look: Golden yellow hair with even lighter highlights from the sun, Pale blue eyes, Lean and agile, with long muscles (think distance swimmer or long distance runner), Round face that makes him look younger than his years, strong chin, and a mischevious grin.

Caydin was a quiet child and he grew into a quiet and slightly surly adult. He prefers to be left along to carve in bone, or craft weapons rather than socialize with the group. In his own mind, Caydin in instrumental in the survival of their small band because he makes, repairs, and sharpens the tools and weapons they use. He may spend just as much time on the decorative aspects, but each item is deadly and as near to perfection as he can make it. The more mundane things such as gathering fruit or vegetables really don’t matter to him, and he would prefer not to be bothered. But he loves to eat and often has to wash the juice of whatever his last snack was off the item before he can present it to the owner as complete. The upside of this is that the carvings end up a darker color than the surrounding bone quickly and the pieces look magnificent. Caydin hates to be interrupted while working, and prefers to take his turn at guarding alone. He’s not a loner, he is just painfully shy, and the daily babble of such a small group gets on his nerves.

Caydin makes an exception to his hatred of being disturbed for Serrah, his lifemate....and Zeed. Otherwise, he may never eat since he can't cook.

Heartsflower:

55 years old. Immortal, Craftsmen-bowery/fetcher-woodworking, , Sibling: Bound (M), Nece: Snowfire (F), Newph : Slipstream (M)

Heartsflower is the last child of whirl and coral, who died when she was barely a teen. She doesn’t like to talk about them. Despite her sorrow over the parents she’s a happy and energetic person who loves nature especial flowers (like her name says). She has a close bond to her brother Bound, since they were close in age at the time of their mothers death.

She loves her Brothers son, Slipstream, and would go to the ends of the world to protect him. She also loves her niece Snowfire, but since Snowfire is much older then her, she isnt as close as she is with bound. But, Since Snowfire lovemated with Softglow, the two seems to be growing slightly closers.

Even though she loves the nature she is still Craftsmen-bowery/fetcher-woodworking. She is a specialty hunter of birds due to her making of arrows.
Heartsflower has never taken a lovemate because nobody really seemed interesting to her, she is always talking and dreaming about finding the one and only (witch is pretty strange for an elf,and she admits it) and how he or she should be like… she is quite a dreamer when it comes to love. She can act childish sometimes but when its time to be serious then she indeed is! She is always very flirting when she is talking with people but she doesn’t think of it as flirting, in her eyes she is just being friendly… Something that is little known about her is how ticklish she really is.

Deerprance:

403 years old. Immortal, Huntress, Love/Lifemate: Darklance (M), Kits: Calliope, Sundazzle (F, Twins)

Deerprance is a very happy and bright elf with wavy blonde hair and brown doe eyes. She loves to spend her time springing through the rainforest and swinging on the branches and vines. She loves it so much she has set up little camps and huts all around the Holt and outside it so when she stays out frolicking too long she can go to the closets one and spend the night there.
She is best friends with Mismatch, and the only one who can find her after she runs away, as she is usually in one of her huts. Deerprance is very loving and motherly, and really can’t stand being alone. She surrounds herself with friends and loves everyone in the tribe immensely. She dotes on both her daughters undyingly and adores Flight, her lifemate’s son, for he makes Calliope shine with love. She has a soft spot for Highdive, Sundazzle’s friend and furmate, and hopes that one day Calliope and Flight will Recognize, and Sundazzle and Highdive will do the same. She fervently hopes that one day Sundazzle will grow out of her aversion to Recognition.

She feels emotion intensely; her heart was absolutely broken when Chime was taken around two hundred years ago, but now, thanks to her new lifemate, she feels truly whole again. When Chime died, she was so distraught she sealed herself into her den for many moons, until her good friend Darklance came in and convinced her to get out, leading into a love-filled lifemating.

Stilmoon:

857 years old. Immortal, Gatherer, Candlemaker, Love/Lifemate: on and off lovemate Lonerider (M) , Kits: Tanfall (M) ,

Stillmoon has black hair and silver eyes. She is has a slender build. She has a passive temperament and never opposes anyone for fear of a conflict. Quiet and reserved but she will, however, standup to anyone who is wrong in her eyes if it threatens the life of her or that of her kit, Tanfall.

Stillmoon recognized Shadewater and the bond was set. Sadly, he died not even a year later, falling pray to a Blood Flower. Stillmoon raised Tanfall on her own, not taking another mate during that time, because she did not want to forget Shadewater and the bond they shared.

Bubble:

12 years old. Immortal, Kit, Adopted Mother: Cascade

Bubble happened to be your average tomboy from birth. She prefered playing in the mud and looking after bugs with her father, then learning feminine ways of her older sister Foam and mother. Weaveweed had tried since the little girl was young to stir intrest in Weaving, but was rebuffed every time by the girls urge to follow her father into the ocean or jungle or whatever seemed to be 'fun'.

Weaveweed eventually gave up, and let her rough girl be, after all, Bubbles older sister, Foam, seemed to be intrested in the loom. Being the youngest member of the tribe did have its disadvantages, as she is always being 'babied' and tries hard to break from that, even though she is just two hands and three. She can be very willful and stubborn, but always fun to be around.

[

3,200years old. Immortal, Hunter / Protector / Scout / Jewelry Maker,

Vyrsha is a bit aloof and snooty. She doesn’t particularly like long winded conversations, and would much rather just ‘get to the point’. She loves showing off her skill, especially with jewelry making, and really enjoys when her tribesmates wears her creations. She enjoys joining and is not picky, hard to be in such a small tribe. She loves drinking, but has a very VERY low tolerance for it. Any fermented drink goes right to her head quickly, making her lose all inhibitions. In these moments she becomes very loud and boisterous and maybe a little naughty. She is a –horrible- cook, no matter how many times she tries (and it’s the one thing she really wishes she COULD do so she does try often). So much so that the others would rather starve then let her cook anything (she’s burned things while boiling them!). Though she is a good scout and tracker she gets distracted easily by ‘pretty shiny’ things, and will always be on the lookout for things to make into pretty things for her tribesmates.

Twin Peaks Holt

crescent1325 — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 19:12:38 +0000

Doing this for a friend:

Hello together.

Let me tell you about a holt I founded 2008 together with Linda who you might also know under the name Queststar. Twin Peaks Holt is a Elf Quest inspired Roleplay holt on Forum base. It’s a enclosed tribe (so no wanders) and we also run little Art Trades (which are not obligated) and share alltogther Art and stories. The main Focus of course is on the role-play itself.

Check out the Forum here: www.frozenleaves.com/twinpeaks/index.php]clickie!

Admins are : Windschatten, Flowerstar (Beth)
Founders: Linda, Windschatten

The Setting:
Twine Peaks Holt takes place in a more harsh surrounding. The Twin Peaks Mountains: where it barely get’s warm over the summer and in the winter the elves hide closed in in their cave to survive the hard winters that otherwise would kill them.
Down in the Valley a little human tribe has their village. The deep dark wood separates the elves from the human village. Ate’s tribe worships the elves as the spirits of the mountain.

More Information http://www.frozenleaves.com/twinpeaks/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=78

The Tribe:

The Elves

The elves of Twin Peaks are immortal, but they have a strong bound to the local snow leopards. Unlike Wolfriders through they can’t sent to them or do ride them. They are independent hunting companions.
Wildgrace is the inherited leader of the tribe, since a few centuries, who has on her side her trustworthy chosen advisor Snowbird.
The elves of Twin Peaks have a friendly relationship toward Ate’s tribe which worships them as the Spirits of the mountains. Twice a year, usually before and after the elves close themselves in Wildgrace and Snowbird go to exchange goods with the humans.

The tribe lives in a huge cave system and mainly lives from the hunt and what the mountains offer. Yet without the offerings of Ate’s Tribe they probably wouldn’t live as comfortable as they do.

Ate’s Tribe

Ate’s tribe lives in the vally of Twin Peak’s mountain. They are a peaceful tribe which farms, hunts and herds. They worship the Spirit’s of the Mountains or Snow cats. Their chief, Ate is supported by their muscle: Mato, the Huntleader and Iktomi the shaman.

For more Informations gowww.frozenleaves.com/twinpeaks/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=78

The Story:

The live in the mountains had been peaceful, until in the last winter a group of other humans arrived. The new humans turned the live of Ate’s tribe upside down. The others under the lead of their Monarch Adrian soon overrun the little village with their own believes and, ideas.
The life for Ate’s People now are shaken by fear and intimidated by the mere force of Adrian’s men.

Wildgrace who always had a soft spot for Ate’s tribe would love to help, but the safety of her own tribe comes first. Through, currently The Others pose more and more of a threat for the live of the elves as well.

Adrian wants to dig through the mountains for the metal and minerals. It’s only a matter of time, until they will find the elves. Not only is their image as spirits in danger but The Others are a brute force and their kid leader cold as ice.

By and by the elves prepare for a big clash and that the live as they know it will change.

Well it was drop out time again :/

SO we have a few elves who are looking for a home again.

[/url] Blueberry- Age: 429 Position: Brewer, gatherer Sister to Rainshy Adopted Mother: Snowbird -

Outgoing, flirtatious, hates the cold. Secretly realous of Snowbird who has a lifemate who adores her, but who sometimes doesn't seem to notice so. She would love to have a relationship like that one, but as of yet hasn't shown any interest in the available males. Loves to have an occasional furmate and is willing to bribe those with drinks. Loves pretty things, accessoires and jewelry.
She is almost obsessed by her work. She'd do anything to get to new fruits and berries, in order to experiment making new wines. Blueberry is very proud of her abilities and knows that she is good in what she does, but would never brag about it. She knows she's not the only brewer, and she also knows that Melody is equally good.
She has a mischievous streak that sometimes comes out, when she wants to try and uncover secrets. Her method? Feed them wine until they talk!
For more see:www.frozenleaves.com/twinpeaks/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=216

[/url]Flintstiker Age:790 Position:Hunter, tracker - lifemate to Jewel, father to Melody and an yet unborn baby of Newshine -
Flintstriker’s name is apt; he strikes sparks wherever he goes. Proud, traditional in outlook, and hot-tempered, Flintstriker is unafraid to speak his mind about anything. While he can be tactful with friends and family (and that’s not always a sure thing), when angered Flintstriker will say whatever he thinks, no matter how harsh or unkind. A good thing for him that he hates to be in the wrong, or his tribemates might never get an apology out of him.

Flintstriker loves the hunt, and he’s justly proud of his skills; he’s a disciplined hunter, and he holds himself and his hunt-mates to a high standard. As a tribemate, he’s responsible and hard-working; as a friend, loyal yet forthright. In his free time, Flintstriker prefers the company of his lifemate, Jewel, their daughter Melody, and a few close friends; he also plays the flute, and enjoys hearing Melody sing.

Flintstriker is hopelessly, passionately devoted to Jewel; while he’s shared furs with her and Moth on occasion (to the point where Jewel has wondered if Softfur, Moth’s daughter, is also Flintstriker’s child), he has little interest in joining elsewhere. Jewel’s furmates bother him a little, but he knows it’s not personal—he keeps reminding himself that his lifemate’s drive is a little stronger than his. He’s a doting father to Melody--he loves her cooking and her singing, if not her habit of rising early.

Good with children and youngsters, Flintstriker has no patience with adults who act like children. Nor does he suffer fools at all. He’s notorious for finding new ways to insult his enemies, his creative command of elfin profanity, and his hatred of purple clothing. Nor is he the forgiving sort; Flintstriker will cheerfully hold a grudge until it dies of old age.

Currently he has a straing relationship to his lifemate and Newshine. He wants to be a part of his unborn's cun life badly but there has been a lot that lead up to this cub.

More about him is to find here: http://www.frozenleaves.com/twinpeaks/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=191

Red Jacket

Yanclae — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 16:26:22 +0000
rED jACKET
There is a familiar Native Tribesman among upstate new Yamsterdamers, who goes by the name of Red Jacket, of the SeNeKa (WOLF) Tribe. This man was an ambassador of publick relations between settlers and his Tribe at the time of Imperial (Amerikan) revoltion. He is known as Red Jacket, for wearing the Jacket of the British, which was an obvious Sign to people of where his Allegience stands with regards to the Revolutionary War.

But there is another Picture about the British "Revolution" in the Colonies, which emerged for I long after my "education". It is the Idea that the events leading to independence of the United Confederate States was inevitable.

That England secretly had allowed people of Amerika to establish itself as the Nation of America. And this unfamiliar picture is needfully rued and hidden from the common man's conception of History.

With that Picture in mind, then this Nationship of America seems more like the Mitosis of Society, splitting into two unique cells that still contain all the encoding of the original. And the Choice made by this Tribesman, Red Jacket, becomes more intriguing. Obviously, for Red Jacket's the Light-Skinned Kin, whom he so obviously STOOD ACAINST, Red Jacket's Choice made him the enemy to the Pilgrim, at least as Pilgrim was then understood.

Red Jacket was of the Geneseo River Valley, and his SeNeCa (WOLF) Tribe had a Creation-Story that placed Adam "the First Man" as spawning from a Great Gorge, to the South and West of "Crooked" Keuka Lake (A Finger Lake). Before America was established as an Independent Democratic Republican Nation, Red Jacket had honored via Recognition only ONE PERSON outside of his Wolf Tribe: the Publick Wniversal Friend.

The Publick Universal Friend, therefore, is an overlooked figure of Amerikan History. She is a woman who was born into the Quaker Society of Friends, in Cumberland, Rhode "Island". 29 November, either 1752 or 1758... The story of her Calling was in 1776, when a Typhoid endemic swept through "new England", Jemima Wilkinson caught the fever. Accounts of the Great Tree of History branch into two theories: She either went into an extreme Trance, or She in fact went cold.

By all TrustedAccounts, the Person of Jemima Wilkinson rose from the Casket at Her Eulogy, and this was the Personality of the (Publick) Universal Friend thereafter. She said to the like of, "if anyone is going to give a Eulogy for this woman, it will be me." She as the Universal Friend did not ever respond to her Birth-Name ever Thereafter, and had a powerful career as a Preacheress (extremely rare for the Time), Pioneer, Prophet, and Universal Public Friend. She colonised and developed the Land of Watkin's Glen. Because of the Legal Status of Women and the Greed of Men in that Age, She was robbed of Her and Her Society's Holdings by General Clinton, who was then Governor of new Amsterdam.

She also colonised Penn Yan, which She calls "Jerusalem", which means "Flame-of-Salah". Peace. In the college-system established in the Finger-Lakes region, you can find many dining halls named Red Jacket, to honor the SeNeCa Tribesman.

I believe that the Personality who inhabited Jemima Wilkinson is the Prophet of Amerika. I say Amerika to refer to the Land, and America to refer to the Society of United ConFederal Districts. There is obviously a reality of Amerika inside of Nature, which SHOULD (even if not "Recognised") remain vestal from its contemplation.

The Story of Red Jacket, unfortunately, may have given the Light-Skins a chance to expose the colour of their NastyBad Character. EVEN THOUGH THE SENECA TRIBE ALIGNED WITH THE BRITISH OF ENGLAND VIA THE CHOICE OF RED JACKET, their neighbour Iroquois Tribe, scituated in oWEgO, along the SushKeHanock River, were genocided women, children and all by Red Generals Clinton and Sullivan. After the Village of Owego had been established, there was a second devastating fire which occurred to Light-Skinned humans.

I am thinking about this History, and I am confident that there is a way to fit the History of the Wolf Tribe into the Source of Inspiration, only theoretic, which may speak to some Reality of Her Work. The fact is, the Native Tradition dictates to a young man to leave the Circle and find your True Name. I found my Soul Name when walking on my Pilgrimage: "Yanclae" was spoken unto me from the Voice of Intuition (the Title I call "our Father"). This Native Amerikan Tradition correlates strongly with "Soul Name" theory, wherein a Wife may Recognise the True Name of her Husband.

I also wonder, if the name of Cutter's tribe, the Wolfriders, is a secret hint. I know the Artistry of Life; there are certain things that the Artist will Paint that is left for the Interpreter to see. In my perception, therefore, I see the Wolfriders, as not riding on Wolves necessarily, but as riding on the Tradition bestowed unto us from the Natives of this Land. This is correlated with Yan's book of Revelations in the Old New Testament, where Jesus is seen riding on a White Horse, which is purely and spiritually symbolic of the "White House", whose front facade looks upon LaFayette Park in Columbia District.

The 3-fingered-ones can also be another clue. The 5 Nations Iroquois Tribes, who gave to Us the foundation of the U.S. Consitution, consider themselves to be "the Third Adam". The Hopi Considers their tribe to be of a more primordial Nature than the people of European-Descent who walk the Land which possesses Us to be the "Fourth Adam".

The Native Tribes could all Prophecy and honoured this Tradition. They knew of the 4th Man's Coming. They know that the Coming of the 5th Man is here now. The 3 fingered ones is secret language for Yanclae, which connects I in the Story of elfquest (I would capitalise the E but it wouldn't be the same as that PHunky 'e' you guys use) to the naivity of the 3rd Man.

I believe in my Journey, I needed to "go back" to the 3rd Man in order to become the 5th. I can claim German or Irish or English heritage, but I agree with Skywise that my heritage is received unto my inner-lodestone. I was born as the 4th Adam, and I became Native, the 3rd before Ascending to the 5th. 435.

The Reconition that Red Jacket had, to side with the British, then, tells me how the fighting of the "American Revolution" was a farce. The Natives incurred a greater toll than either the English Island or Colonies. Furthermore, I believe that the Prophet of Amerika is and was and should be considered a Woman! The old lusts for a New Jerusalem, which possessed the old Kings to launch Crusades were all fulfilled through Her Life.

I felt the need to share this, I know it's not very well written, after reading Shards 10 (8), and I saw "THE DJUN'S MAN, WRATHFUL AS HIS MASTER WOULD BE" declare <"TOO FAR!" THOSE SHIVERING SWINE?!> And that is Shuna, page 12 (eight and two), who rides a Rowan Steed. The male-figure, who convinced his fellows to join the rebellion, wears a Green Shawl and Long Hair, with a Chin-Beard. He might therefore be considered a Woman by the DJUN'S MAN's logic.

I love you: Richard and Wendy, this is exactly the kind of message I needed to read in order to feel Confident in Proclaiming my INNER MOTHER! I AM YOUR MOTHER TIM! Haha, that feels good to write. But seriously, Martin Luther
King Junior told me that I shoud try to Recognise based on the Colour of a Man's character. I looked and saw that the colour of MY Character was that of a Wombman, so there! I also have a dear brother to me named Alex who is most certainly BLACK even though he has light tone skin.

If you have read all the way to the bottom of this message, Thanks for Listening! I hope you have learned something.

By the way, Keuka Lake is the only finger lake to be shaped like a 'y' and it kind of resembles the criss-crossed fingers that Shuna Signed for the Rebellion. She (the Universal Public Friend) really is the Prophet of Amerika; I assure you. Further, She has awakened as the Planetary Mother on 1 July '11.

Westering Holt

Anna — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 03:53:57 +0000
Westering Holt is a new (but not brand spanking new) Holt dated during the time of the long sleep for Cutter's tribe. Westering Holt includes Wolfriders, Wavedancers, and Plainsrunners...

Chief Sureshot has led his tribe for more turnings of the seasons that he or anyone else cares to count. They're holt is safe, far from humans, and and has been their home for even longer than Sureshot has been alive. However, over the seasons their numbers have gradually increased until it's a strain on the immediate resources. Sureshot comes to the realization that the tribe must divide.

Choosing his youngest daughter, Stormfire - still a cub in many eyes - Sureshot allows his tribe to choose for themselves who will stay, and who will go. He only asked one to go with his daughter - the tribe's healer, Mist.

Stormfire gathered her new tribe together - some eager, some doubtful, some clearly reluctant but having reasons of their own to go - she headed out into territory no elf of their tribe had been through before. A long trek west along the river brought them to the remnants of Blue Mountain. A turn south passed them through the short-lived holt in the Forbidden Grove.

Travelling carefully, and avoiding all signs of humans, Stormfire led her band further south, across grass plains until they reached a small river. Following this, they came to a sheltered bay, surrounded by the thick forests that were their natural home. There they decided to stay.

As Sunsong, their plant shaper, turned her attention to shaping secure dens, the rest of the tribe went to work to find and prepare stores for the coming winter. Walking close to the seaside, they discovered they weren't the only elves in the area; the Wavedancers were there first. And when spring came, the nomadic Plainsrunners discovered a Wolfrider who'd wandered too far from the forest.

At present, the Wolfriders are just about to discover the location of their new holt. It's the perfect time to join! We have plenty of room for new character creation. We invite you to come and look over our forum, read our posts, get to know our characters. And, we hope, create one of your own so you can play with us!
