---Player Information

Name/Alias: Emmi

Gender: F

Where You Found this Board: On several of my usual boards, on EZboard. Which now have all died. I was searching for a new place, and this site really impressed me.

Prior Roleplay Experience: Several EZboards, most of which were Tamora Pierce based, and all of which are very dead. I mostly play guys, mostly because *someone* needs to, but also because it can be *oh so much fun* with a mostly female cast. Thomas Rede is an old character that I have used in both Tortall and Middle Earth, with some slight changes obviously. If you can't tell, I'm slightly obsessed. :)

---Character Information

Name: Thomas Rede

Age: 15, almost 16 (I changed it because he's acting like a ten year old.. :()

Birthplace: On some farm and Southern Tortall. Notice he doesn't stay there.

Position: Trainee! (sorry I didn't make this clearer the first time around... or did I?)

History: His life seems to go by how he feels on that certain day, and therefore he has never stayed in one place for too long. He was born to a farmer, then, a couple years Ago he joined the bandits. It was alright – except that the King’s Men were forever after him, and so he ran off, taking with him a large amount of the spoils of the last raid, and thus has a bunch of angry men chasing him. He wasn't exactly planning on coming to Corus, but he was going North, and it seemed like a pretty good place to get lost. He's looking for some kind of job that makes use of his ability in weapons, aka the Riders (he has a personal grudge against the King's Men, and the regular army doesn't appeal to him. Walking is hard work).

Personality: He’s sharp, but he puts on a relaxed façade. Aggressive, but it’s mostly all bark and no bite – he tends to lose most fights (Mostly because he's smaller than your average person, and I don't mean height). He’s got a temper, and loses it often, although he seems to be in control enough to pick the most opportune moments. Sneaky, sometimes, if he’s curious enough about something/wants something very badly. He's completely tactless. He doesn’t consider it necessary at all to tell the truth, in fact, most of the things he says are lies of some sort. His various and unusual (and for the most part, useless) talents include: walking noiselessly, juggling, throwing darts, and causing arguments. Have I mentioned he’s continually bitter?

Physical Appearance: Straight brown hair (usually greasy cause he's a lazy little slob) a little too long since he never seems to get around to cutting it, blue eyes, pointy-ish face. Sorta short, 5'7", and a particularly light frame.

Sample Post:

Thomas walked quickly through the streets of Corus, searching frantically for a place where he could sit down. He’d been carrying that gods-damned bag around for over a week now, and it hadn’t gotten any lighter.

Well if it really bothers you that much, get rid of it, idiot…
He sighed. For the first time he really understood Man’s fascination with wealth, how he would do almost anything to obtain it, even kill…

He stopped himself in the middle of his thoughts. When you start having philosophical conversations with yourself, it’s about time you see one of them specialized healers, he reprimanded himself. What did he think he was doing, anyway?


I could go on here, but I thought that was sufficient. Um... there was nowhere to mention this earlier on - but I was planning on having him join the Riders.
