The Townsfolk

It is asked that you please keep in mind what feeling a person's aura radiates during gameplay as it's very important.

Below are guidelines on creating your own characters...
However there are some characters that we desperately want in the game, preference will be given to applicants who apply for:

Italics Means there is a hold on the character.
Strike Means a character us taken.

(all characters listed are loose guidelines that you are invited to flesh out in your application)

The Dreamer: Male, mid-twenties. He raises animals (cats, dogs, horses, turtles, whatever you like!) in a way that would make the Horse Whisperer look crass and angry. All his animals are top quality, gentle, kind and oddly... knowing. People who take in his exported animals as pets are often heard talking about the uncanny way their animals look at them, and how sometimes they swear the animal understands every word they say. Working with animals has given him a very soft way of speaking and an aura that he sometimes seems to have one foot in another world.

The Poet: Female, thirty-something. She writes the most heartfelt poetry that's been taking the world by storm. Every word she pens drips with feeling and the deepest emotion imagineable. She is very easily trusted and regularly has people blurt out their secrets to her without even meaning to. Her aura radiates trust and care.

the_evokerThe Evoker: Male but very androgynous, twenty-five. He writes erotic literature (gay and straight)designed to help a person become more intuned with their sexuality through use of the earth and celestial symbology. People say that they generally don't follow or understand his words, but that somehow they have an exceptionally profound effect on them. His work is widely used and "prescribed" by sex therapists world-wide. His aura radiates intense warmth and desire.

The Maiden: Female, ageless, It's unknown whether The Maiden is a human being or a spirit that exists in human form. She grows flowers and herbs to dry and export. Her products are found in gourmet shops all over the world and are instilled with very specefic energies that flood the food they're used in. Diners who eat food with her herbs in it remark that they've never eaten something that sat so well, and made them feel so good. Her aura radiates of purity and giggles.

The Muse: Male or female or genderless, ageless. The Muse does not have any business of their own to create product for, but instead lends a hand with everyone else's work in turn when they need a bit of a jumpstart. They want little thanks for their efforts except perhaps a smile and a bit of your product/service for free when they need it. The Muse's aura radiates of serene mystery.

The Joker: Male, thirties. The Joker is, just as his name suggested, the most hilarious person you could ever know. He creates children's toys from the products of the other people in Clary-Sage and exports them to specialty toy and children's stores. His toys are renowned by parents the world over for being the most captivating and enthralling toys their children have ever known. He instills in them wisdom and intelligence and parents have commented many times that by playing with his toys, their children seem to be progressing far more rapidly. His aura radiates laughter and jovial kindness.

The Gentle: Male, early-twenties. The gentle is the most abstract of all Clary-Sage's inhabitants. He does not export anything, but instead sells his services online to those who wish to seek him out. His special brand of energy work brings to mind the swirling colours of blue and green and his soul seems as deep as the ocean. He sends healing energy everywhere in the world that he's asked and seems to be the most content person you could ever encounter. His aura radiates a cool, sweet calmness that makes you exhale a deep breath of relaxation whenever you're near him.


CREATING YOUR OWN CHARACTER

-Characters should all be 20 years or older. The Rowan Tree doesn't make a habit of choosing younger folk to bring in.

-Characters are welcomed to be something other then human but read the seperate post on creating "Otherworld" characters first.

IMPORTANTLY: I know that we all want to play characters who are just amazingly talented and in tune with the earth, the spirits and everything magical, but anyone who applies for a character who seems to be good at everything will be rejected. You can have a great time and a FUN time playing someone who is just average in terms of magic. It still sets you FAR above the rest of human population, doesn't it?


Occupations

Occupations in Clary-Sage can be whatever you like as long as it's result is a good/material that can be exported and it has roots in nature. See some of the character descriptions above for idea or some other suggestions would be:

Jewellery production with semi-precious stones charmed to do special things.

Aromatherapy products custom made for certain purposes.

Herbal beauty care products. (Imagine an age defying moisturizer that actually works!)

Meditation cd's with music made by you to promote relaxation and tranquility.

Textile/yarn production made from your own sheep/alpacas/afghan hounds etc etc.
