((Let's get on with this, huh? Setting is Ancient Greece, and I'm starting in a coastal village somewhere to the east-northeast of Sparta if you want some idea of location. Don't worry about being really historically accurate, because I'm not worried too much about it. Just enough to make it interesting, you know? Is about having fun. If you want a Greek name for a character, [url=http://www.20000-names.com]this website[/url] has great names sorted by culture. Let's play ^_^)) Phebe stood atop the cliffs, looking out over the ocean to the west. The sun was setting behind her and the stars were starting to show above the Aegean Sea. The salty wind tossed her curly brown hair and she had to squint against it. No sails drifted across the horizon, and it was getting too dark to see anything out there anyway. Phebe sighed. The young fisherman's daughter of age sixteen just wanted her future husband to come home safely. What a time to go out on a raid! She knew her parents disapproved of her straying so far from the little coastal village at such late hours. She did understand why, in part. There were all sorts of dangerous creatures that prowled the night. She just didn't expect one to take any interest in her. She turned from the ocean and started along the faint path that lead down the cliffs and back to her home at an easy pace.

{{I though your character was Eden XD}} Atanasia stood look out into the sea, her long black hair covering her deep blue eyes, she sighed as she looked up the cliffs, wondering if that would be a good place to sleep. Suddenly something or someone caught her eye, she looked around before slowly making her way up. As she reached the top she saw a girl, Atanasia was quite as she walked up to her, "Hello" she said in a thick romanian accent, she was unsure of the girl and so she stood a small distant from her.

{{Aww, nevermind, got myself mixed up there, lol ^^; looking out*}}

[[hey, Eden is me! ^^ nevermind! we're still noobs at this!]]

Phebe hadn't heard anyone approaching, so she almost jumped as the stranger greeted her with that thick foreign accent. She wasn't so much afraid as startled. Strangers always made her curious. She had a bit of adventure in her heart, really. She dipped her head politely in greeting. "Good evening," she said.

((girls, sorry girls, but there is some BIG error here!! Darkness, your Atanasia is a vampire! she cannot go around at sunset looking for someplace to sleep! (she's supposed to be about to wake, just after the sun has gone down)... no?))

((I don't go for the clichie vampire stuff ^^;))

((I thought those were universal characteristics of vampires... oh, well, nevermind!))

As Human and Vampire faced, the sun went down completely. And a pair of shining eyes watched them from behind a rock.

Okay, the blood-drinking thing is pretty much a must. Beyond that, unless the game is going to set rules about what vampires are like, I figure your idea of what a vampire is is as "right" as the next person's. Consider them from different bloodlines, with different family characteristics. :) ))

((hhehehe...I'm a traditional girl...so think about me as a traditional vampXD))

[quote]As Human and Vampire faced, the sun went down completely. And a pair of shining eyes watched them from behind a rock.[/quote] A wounded wild-boar ran out of the wood and, before Phebe could react, it launched itself at her...

Phebe really didn't have time to react to the boar. She hadn't been expecting such a thing at all. She put her arms up protectively and just braced herself against the impact. What more could she do?

((you're hanging by a thread...where is Darkness when you need her?? DARKNESS!!!))

Atanasia took out her sword and quickly stabbed it into the boar, she stood watching it for sometimes before she looked up at the girl "Are you okay?" she asked. ((Sorry ^^; I didn't know Sheezy was back up))

The young woman let out a sigh of relief. She was too relieved even for it to strike her that Atanasia had a sword and knew how to use it so well. She put a hand over her heart and could feel the pulse of it thundering. "Yes, thank you," Phebe answered. "You probably saved my life. Is there anything I can do to repay you?"

Atanasia shook her head, "No... really its fine" she said smiling, though she did need a place to stay, but she didn't want to bother the young girl.
