About `slave
Welcome! `slave is a literate RPG that's based on the world created by Andre Norton and Mercedes Lackey in their novel Elvenbane. Elves, intoxicatingly beautiful and incredibly strong rule their own little world. An intricate web of politics gives and demands power as each clan tries to carry the most influence. Beneath their greed lies a whole other world as their human slaves fight not for their freedom, but the singular favoritism of their master. It is a world of corruption and little values, and beyond it lies another realm. A culture where none rule and none serve, and the highest privilege is the Thunder Dance. A world where the Kin thrive unknown by the vicious race of elves. But how long can it last, and how long can each person, elf or human, hold onto its limited power before it is taken by another more greedy for its taste? We welcome you to `slave, where even if you aren't human, you are still a slave to your ambitions.

oh my effin god « Result #1 on Oct 10, 2008, 11:03am »
Currently living at my house are two very young dogs. Mimzy, who is our 4month old Brittany Spaniel, and my sister's year old shih-tzu, Sirius. Well, both are still in that puppy stage, and believe it or not, Mimzy (who is 8 months younger) is the better behaved of the two, usually. So why do you care about my puppies and why are they in an announcement?
Yesterday morning, the two of them made a joint effort to kill me. I was watching tv and not paying a whole lot of attention to their antics and when my show ended I found Sirius chewing on my laptap cord. There are signs that Mimzy helped, but I'm pretty sure it was mostly Sirius. The cord is completely severed and unfixable which means we have to buy a new one (or my parents can give me the new laptop in their closet...) I'm pretty sure my dad ordered a new one (cord, not laptop) off the internet last night which means it'll take a couple days to get here. I'm incredably sorry for my absence but I'll be back as soon as I can! Right now I'm on my parent's desktop and this (crappy piece of shit) computer is the one I'll be using until my new cord comes in. The keyboard sucks and I'll only be able to use it when my parents are out of the house. Which means, very little "play time" for me.
Again, very sorry and thank you for understanding.

«So what [Open] « Result #2 on Sept 25, 2008, 6:27am »
The water pounded against the cliffs relentlessly. The sound echoing throughout the vast vortex of the night as the stars twinkle above in utter silence. Only the faint sound of the wind through shuffling grass is the waters accompaniment. Otherwise it was utter silence, the silence of voices and people. A feeling she hadn’t had in so long. A feeling she longed to have every day. The place away from the busy household, a place to run and hide, a place where she could just be her. The very place she sat was perfect. The perfection of the night, the water, the soft serene sounds of Mother Nature. It covered her senses and drowned her in the love for one of the few things she got to enjoy. The outdoors far from the cold walls of her house. The very same house that she could call her prison. Her ivory tower. Her cell that she would rot in until she was wrinkled with age, and death hung over her shoulder like a forbidding creature.
But, she had broken free from her cage. Her wings were finally spreading out and up into the night as the wind came to brush across the curve of her delicate cheek. She stretches her arms out and takes a deep breath. The cool touch of the rock beneath her rear was enough to make her slip to her feet and wrap her slender arms around her frail body. Fall was among them, and it was letting her know that it was far too cold to be out without some type of cover up. Of course, she didn’t need such frivolous things not when she was finally free! Free of the bonds that kept her to her house and home. The cell she called a room had been replaced and become the slaves’ quarters. She had been given a new room, new slaves, and new clothes all in hopes that the nobles would take notice of how lovely she was despite being shorter, not having perfect hair, and not being as ‘beautiful’ as some of the noble women. Surely they would see something in her coy smile or that soft laughter she was so famous for, or maybe she would help them get lost in her light green eyes. But, she was being too ambitious, perhaps? She wasn’t sure. The only thing she was sure about was that she wanted a wealthy husband and a cushy life where she could silently live out the rest of her long life.
She was still young though. Her life was far from over and she was ready to start her ruthless search for a darling little husband so that she could climb her way up the social ladder to the very top. The top of the elven world if she could. Oh and she knew she could. Her pink lips curl into a wicked smile as she gives a quick snap of her fingers. A rustling comes from behind her as a human arises from the confines of the shifting shadows. Her head demurely bowed as she shuffles closer to her ladies feet. Her black hair sheared short and close to her head to show off her beautiful features that were almost too beautiful to be human. Of course, this woman was human and therefore below Lili. Hell, she was the lowest of the lowest. She was a cast aside concubine who had been thrown to the streets until her mother had picked her up for a cheap price. The girl was now Lili’s personal slave. She was a good girl and did as she was told. She was almost too perfect and that made Lili a little paranoid. Why would such a creature be so…perfect?
Her eyes look over the girl’s fragile form. The faint traces of dirt that covered the tan skin of her hands. The nails had a bit of grime under them but otherwise she was spotless….well, as spotless as any slave could ever be. But, they were marred by their imperfections that made them simply human. It was truly a pity…she was sure. She glances away from the shivering girl and waves her head. ”Run home and fetch me something to cover my bare shoulders. Oh, and grab yourself something. I can’t have any slaves dying on me….” she mutters and waves her hand to the girl who she knew was staring up at her with star struck eyes. ”Mother would kill me…” She mumbles and turns her back to the doting slave who silently slipped of into the night to do her Master’s bidding. She was a good girl and Lili knew she wouldn’t run away because if she did…. Well, let’s just say the thrashing she would receive would be worse than any sweet death that they could give her.
She turned her attention back outward to the sea. The sea that called her name in so many different ways. A name which she hated and loved. A name that was bittersweet in its meaning but lovely when it rolled off the tongue. Of course, she had not given herself this name. She had been blessed with it at birth. The scorching hot day in which she had been born to her lesser parents. Parents that hardly cared for her and her for them. It was a mutual feeling as was the thoughts about her name.
She feels the cold wind brush across her back as it urges her to the waiting sea. Her feet taking one tentative step forward and then another until she is able to look over the edge and into the swirling abyss below. An abyss that would pull her under and grate her against the jagged stone walls if she wasn’t careful. A thing that mother nature had created that could kill her as easily as enchant her. And the enchantment was working as she drops down into a squat. Her small knees pulled to her chest and her rear hanging inches from the cold brush of the blades of grass. Her joints creaking in protest as the cold wind penetrates her goose pimpled flesh. Her frail arms wrap around the points of her knees as she squats toe to edge with the cliff. Her green eyes into the dark swirling mass below. Damn, it was good to be free.

Lesser elves have 'employers' not masters and their choice must also be approved by the Lord they choose. Nobles have no employer or Master.

G e n e r a l
`age restriction To join this site Proboards requests you to be 13 years or older. Since this site deals with realistic issues such as slavery, prostitution, possibly torture or death we encourage you to take a look at your maturity level before creating an account.
`terms of service Proboards also reminds us that racial insults, explicit sexual content, and any talk of religion is against their terms of service. Therefore, if you insult another race or gender preference you will be banned for three days. Any insults against religion or preaching will be banned indefinantly. Explicit sexual content will be warned against and then you could possibly be banned.
`cursing ooc I don't really have a problem with cursing ooc so long as its not every other word or used against one another. In other words, feel free to tell us that your character is "the shit" or you had a "crappy day", but don't post "fuck you" everytime a member disagrees with you.
C h a r a c t e r s
`bans We as a site will enforce bans on certain types of characters as needed. If everyone is making an elf then elves will be banned from further creation or if everyone is making female slaves there will be a ban on them until the numbers even out. Some bans will work with no exceptions while others will allow you to purchase the banned character type for a price.
`elvesPlease read our description of `slave's elven population and culture. Yes, your character must look like all the others and no, there aren't really any rebels among them because lets face it: they rule. Why would an elf give up its power when it could be catered to by a hundred humans? Its called child brainwashing.
`humans They can look however you want them to, but remember that slaves rarely get to show off their personalities. Yes, there are 'wild' humans but at this stage in the game they are not allowed.
`halfbreeds Since any human concubine to sleep with an elf is fed special food to make them infertile this happens very rarely. When it does occur, the baby and its human parent is killed immediatly. Also not allowed on the site at this stage.
`dragons Please read their description thread since it will tell you everything you need to know about them. Due to the enormous power they weild and their desire for secrecy, we are keeping these characters to a minimum. Therefore, you must have posted on our site at least 100 times and also get admin permission.
`application Follow the form we have provided and fill out each section to the maximum of your ability. If your best does not meet our minimum then I would assume that our site is a little advanced for you. Come back in a few months after working on your writing skills.
`accounts Each character must have their own account, although most members are welcome to lable each account as used by the same person. The first account does not require a special username, but the rest must all use the first name or first and last.
`face claim We do have a face claim thread. You can find it here. If someone is using the face you want, too bad. Feel free to draw your character although we prefer no manga or anime characters.
R o l e - P l a y i n g
`word count Here at `slave we have a minimum word count of 300 words. Personally, thats like a medium paragraph and we all know how to write a good paragraph, don't we? If you struggle to hit 300 words then I advise you to come back a little later once you've improved.
`relationships Essentially, there are very few unique relationships. Elves do not fall in love with humans, although they might have a favorite concubine. Humans are often spelled into adoring their master if they have not already been brainwashed into loving him or her. Very rarely do humans find love amongst themselves since most sexual interactions are by arranged breeding programs.
`proper english Chatpspeak is a huge and idiot mistake to make on here. Do not use it under any circumstance while in character. The occasional 'lol' ooc is fine, but nothing ic! Also, be sure to click that handy 'spell check' button the right ride of the preview button before posting. It saves everyone reading your post a headache.
`taking advantage Do not power play or god mod! Just because you rp a high magic noble elf does not give you the right to control the other person's character, even if your character is technically allowed to control theirs. God moddding to a small extent is okay when working with an elf verses a human, but keep it to a small degree. Humans are always weaker than elves, remember that!
