IC Forum Here!
I would like to say that Amaury's attitude and approach to problem solving in no way reflects my own opinions about anything. xD
It has occurred to me hours after making the IC post (located in the fantasy rp section of the forums) that maybe I should make an OOC section to encourage communication and answer questions. I want to say that I made the setting intentionally vague, keeping it as sandbox-y as possible suits most people a lot more than trying to learn of a preset world. The only thing in stone is the highway mentioned in the post and the villages. What these villages are like could vary wildly, which again, I wanted to leave for other folks to potentially use. Also I hope this brings a little bit more attention to it, I haven't posted something on an rp forum in years and would like to get into it again.
Edit: Here's a summary so far! I realize it'd be hard to catch up at this point!
Amaury starts the story finding a shed to shelter from the rain in the woods at night. Iskra runs into the same shed but she's running from a dangerous aufhocker instead. They hide for a while but the beast discovers they're inside and injures Iskra by flinging her into a tree. Amaury is next but Maren shows up and scares the aufhocker away with light from her horn. Amaury spends some time trying to get Iskra to rest and Maren makes a deal with him, promising to heal Iskra if she gets fruit for it. He agrees, Iskra's partially healed and wakes up when the enigmatic Ludvig arrives. Ludvig was also injured and gets treated by increasingly tired Amaury before saying they should all try to kill the aufhocker. Iskra gets mad and debates him while Amaury tries to substitute Maren's protective light with a lantern (to keep shedding light takes energy from Maren and she's very tired at this point.) The transition is poor and Iskra is grabbed once again by the shapeshifter, it uses her as a puppet to injure Amaury as well before retreating under some trees because the sun has almost risen. It grabs Amaury and tries to drag both delicious humans away to eat but Maren saves them with a head-on attack of the beast. The aufhocker dissipates, the sun rises and both Iskra and Maren are exhausted.
Amaury tucks them into his tent for bedtime and stays up til noon making a hut, figuring that they'll need at least a few dasys of R&R before they go to get Maren those promised fruits. He's halfway done when Iskra wakes up and promptly goes hunting despite her wounds, returning with venison and deerhide. Then she goes again, finds fruit and tells them there's a water source nearby (which is good because after last night's scuffle most of them are quite dirty.) She also brought fruit, which the newly awoken Maren goes to immediately because they're yummy. Amaury ruins the good mood with inappropriate jests and then goes giggling with Maren to get cleaned up. The trio have met again at camp and are preparing to leave, to see if Maren can help them escape the charmed forest.

Hey there! I hope I am doing a decent job at this so far, I haven't RP'ed in years and wanted to try to get back into it. 
I have to go to bed for the night but will be back tomorrow and check in the afternoon. You can pretty much assume that Maren is going to be staying in that shack until the rain dies down or if something scary comes back.
See you for now!

Hi.
You are doing a good job! Sorry I couldn't get your character more involved than they already are. I'll stop posting when it seems like the aforementioned circumstances'll happen to give you an opportunity for a safe IC return. Figure things'll be slow for a little while longer unless paranoid_party has something in mind.
Belated good night!

Thanks and no problem!
Let me know if I say anything odd or confusing IC and I can rewrite it to have it make more sense.
I'd like to help progress the story along as best I can, so any guidance or advice would be much appreciated!

It seems you've found your opportunity already. Sorry for the late response, I took some xanax for a blood test and passed out on it for a few hours. xD
hello! I'm a tad new, terribly sorry, here is my OC, still a bit Fresh and unworked, but more things will be added on over time.

I read his bio. We actually have two very similar characters, though I'm not using my mad doc in this rp.
I know I could make you just read everything that happened but I'll give a summary for you.
Its raining in some woods outside an ancient highway. In the woods, my character Amaury found a shed to take shelter in. At the same time paranoid_party's character Iskra was hunting and ran into a mythical beast known as an aufhocker. To avoid it she ran, found the same shed in the process and hid in it. The aufhocker knew they were there though, and attacked! Iskra got flung and received a head injury as well as a broken arm. Amaury was next but Beetlebelle's character Maren showed up and shone light on it, causing it to run away. Since then Amaury's been talking to/ trying to help Iskra awkwardly while Maren took shelter in the shed, shining softer light on the immediate area. Iskra passed out after Amaury righted her arm and Maren walked over to offer them a deal; she'd help heal Iskra's head injury for something. Amaury's asking what that thing is. And here we are.
You're free to post whenever, but how you enter the story is up to you. Sometimes when I'm waiting for a scene shift but want to start writing I'll detail what a character is doing nearby or in relation first and then tie the loose threads together, introducing them.

Wow, im the only person who hasn't touched the OOC chat, sorry about that.
Just wanted to say, im going a little silent as I feel me just adding details with an unconcious character makes little sense I feel, haha. I'll keep an eye out and jump back in if something changes.

It doesn't make sense for plot progression but you could make it funny as heck.
Though I'm not the person to take writing advice from if I suggest that in the first place xD

Ludvig's personality is a mix oF Edward RichtoFen (call oF Duty: Zombies) and Wherner von Braun (A NASA scientist, planning out the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo missions)
Nah dude, humor is good at all points lmao. I dont have a good sense of humor so I make up for it with sarcasm.
Ive never played Call of Duty, whats that guy like?

He's super crazy, cackling and being your stereotypical German villain
I watched a trailer for that game and immediately thought of this.

he definitely has personality traits From the Medic too! I never thought oF that.
As you can tell Amaury is a sweetheart and without fault
Definitely
Definitely
Iskra's just angry lmao, but I definitely understand what you mean by stereotypical german villian. I have a feeling her and Ludvig might not get along too well once she regains conciousness.
as you can tell, Ludvig is delicate and non-murdery
That's the fun of it, methinks. Personally I don't think any of these characters are going to get along once the ground is metaphorically even.
Haha, that'll be interesting to see the two interact at least.
Sadly, I gotta go
