Area of Interests, usual time of day you'd like to be contacted? then I'll add you to the first post and people can come to you if they need help.

Anythign is fine to be honest, but I like to develope characters and interactions the most. Storylines are fine as well. But to pick one, again, it would be characters and interaction. Of course this needs a good knowledge of how the story goes so make sure to tell them I'd need to know the story itself before I can help deepen the characters  :haha:

Ummmm Well I have to start school soon so after in the afternoon is fine. But I live in Massachusetts in the US so make sure it's after 5:00 there. I'll be on MSN and AIM all the time once I get on so it'll be easy to contact me. You can PM me anytime if you just want me to review something and not debate and I'll write out the critiques.

Umm...how about a character's history? How's this:

History/backstory - She grew up poor for most of her life. She always wanted new clothes but could not afford them. She had to take care of her younger siblings. In order to get money, she had to prostitute herself. She once met a man that wanted her to stop. His name was Fanth. He promised her protection and love for her and all of her siblings. She loved him, but he soon fell in love with another woman who was rich. He left her and her siblings in the street. They formed a gang of thieves and lived a life of stealing. However, they were caught and sentenced for death. Zora was able to escape, but she could not save her siblings in time. She had to watch them all die. She was recognized in the crowd and ran away where she met with the leader of bandits called the Scars. The leader took her in and she became his successor.

Current story - Zora noticed that the elder of the village called Udin owed her money from months ago. She decided to go and get what was hers. That's where her story begins....

Lol... the town elder owes a person of the peasant level money? Personally doesnt seem right :P.

You see, a harlot is a voluptuous woman who sleeps around, sort of like a prostitute. Well, the elder had a fun time with Zora, and he stiffed her on the payment. She charges interest (yeah, she's that good... :^_^':), and over the years, that money has grown to a large amount. Also, the village elder isn't all that he appears to be...  :O.o:
