Michaela - An Orc's Great Quest

[Meushell]

(For my NerdFitness adventures, I've created the character of Michaela, an orc living in an isolated village. Her adventures have started in the November 2nd to December14th challenge, in "An Isolated Orc Village."

 

Despite the name of this particular forum section, there won't be any daily updates here. The challenge threads are good enough for that. This thread will contain her profile and basically link all her challenges together. It'll allow me to keep track of my changes through her {weight, sizes, etc.}, and perhaps create some profiles for some of the minor characters in her story. I do enjoy making character bios.

 

Now for Michaela...)

My Weight Chart

Look at all those ups and downs. It's like a roller coaster! Wheeeeeeeeeeeee! Yeah, after the first ten pounds, it was like a year of losing and gaining weight. Now I'm looking forward to that final drop, with a few bumps along that way.

 

12/21/15 Edit: LilySlim has a 52 date/weight entry limit, so I removed many of the dates. The little dots are about a month apart instead of a week apart. I also added a goal weight, so the chart has a larger range. It looks less like a roller coaster now, but it still gives me what I want.

Awesome posts to start off this thread. Im looking forward to following along.

[Meushell]

Thanks. Hope you enjoy.

World of Terra

To help me keep track of Michaela's world. For now, I'm going to list the places she has been to. Later, I'll list everything, but only describe the places she has visited.

In alphabetical order...

Gul - Michaela's orc village.

Gul Forest - Orc forest. Place of Gul and Waruk.

Secret Prison - The dungeon Michaela was taken to.

Three Land Crossing - A large trading center.

Waruk - Gul's (orc) mother city. Mysteriously destroyed.

Started the Walk to Mordor in November. Doing an update so I don't have to keep adding up the same days. Lol.

Total miles...169.06...as of 12/12/15.

I found a battle log!

[Foo]

Wow, just happened to run across your logs while browsing.  I LOVE how you've laid them out, and after reading the first one, I feel vested in Michaela's success.

 

Keep up the awesome work.

[Meushell]

As noted above, her adventure starts in An Isolated Orc Village. I'm going to try to keep her timeline in the main post, since it's simple enough, with the details being in the quest threads.

 

The adventure will continue Leaving the Orc Forest. She's headed northeast, and that's about all I know for now. Her homing drake hasn't even hatched yet.

The Adventure Continues

 

Michaela and I briefly were returned in The Orc is Back, but the thread was quickly ditched. Now, we are back in Dungeon Orc.

Ended up reading all your challenges, they were all enjoyable. Can't wait to see if you continue on with your journey, and thanks for sharing because it has helped me brainstorm how to structure my own goals into a RP story.

Thanks. I had a cough for a while, then just had to get on on the forums. I have to update here as well. I look forward to seeing your story, if you haven't done it already. 

[Meushell]

Still here. I just haven't updated this thread lately. 

 

 I have finished Orc Flight and An Orc's Drake. Now I have started The Orc and the Dragon.

 

My computer decided to up and die on me, so I can't make any more character cards for now. I will use this thread to make an app keep small character biographies.
