Ray (last name TBD) will serve as the main character for this story. Hopefully it grows large enough as to where I can branch out and have other characters serve as the focal point for stretches. For now, I will start creating Ray.
Ray is from the Island Nation of Brosa. He works as a fruit farmer for his father. Ray is charming and people seem to enjoy his company. He is of average height and enjoys to drink. He is in decent shape, but suffers from a little bit of a stomach due to his love of spirits. He works outside which keeps him tan.
The population of Brosa is dependant on the time of the year. During the summer times, Brosa is filled with tourist from all around the world. For extra money, Ray takes on the job of being a tour guide during these times. He knows Brosa and the surrounding islands very well. He can navigate through the jungles with ease. He knows the local wildlife and danger areas. He also knows what fruits can be eaten and which ones are deadly.
Ray is not trained in any form of armed fighting, nor is he skilled in any martial arts. He does enjoy going to the coliseum with his friends to watch all of the events there. His favorite gladiator goes by the name Maximus. Deep down Ray wishes he could be like the gladiators.
Ray comes from a simple family. His father is a local animal herder and his mother runs a tavern by the name of, "Allure." He has one brother and one sister, and a bevy of friends. His best friend, Stefon likes to pick on Ray, but he is a good individual.

Escape
"You never know how important house and home are until they are taken from you."
The Island Nations; a small group of islands off the coast of a small country. They occupy little known resources and are of little strategic importance to any warring nations. The inhabitants of these islands range from natives to travelers to pirates and even criminals in hiding. There are ten major islands within the nation. They are Adu, Bene, Brosa, Duri, Ima, Lot, Oni, Sicil, Troco, and Yaro. Together they are neutral nation which never picks a side in any worldly conflict and enjoy peace and tranquility.
The Island Nation of Brosa is the northern most island. Brosa is a peaceful territory. Known for its rich plant life and crystal clear waters it serves as a great vacation spot. It thrives through a rich export system. Much of the worlds sweetest fruits come from Brosa's soil. Brosa also houses many of the world's cattle and poultry. While cheap and cost effective, Brosa boast some of the finer food products without inflating the prices.
Dracland, an upstart country on the rise has begun to show its muscle in some of the nearby territories. Brosa just so happens to sit right underneath Dracland. Out of nowhere the armies of Dracland begin to pour into the unsuspecting shores of Brosa...

First Post - Explanation
(So, I love fantasy stories and games. If you know anything about me, then you would know that simple fact. I love a good story with a strong medieval setting. It smacks me with some surreal nostalgia that sends me to a better place. Here, I want to try and create something new, something borrowed, and something interesting altogether. I might be taking ideas from places I have experienced prior, but I do wish to make this my own story. The pace at which I write this story may vary at times, but who is actually reading this anyways?)
First of all, I need to create a great main character. I want this to be a very large and expansive story. I want the main character to be on some sort of journey or mission. I want him to meet and befriend many characters in his adventures. I am not going to make the main character some sort of hero, or chosen one. That story is old and cliche. Instead, I want my MC to be an average youth who is very charismatic. It will be his personality that draws people close to him and nothing more. Honestly, you could say that is something I believe closely resembles my life. People, for whatever reason, seem to enjoy my company.
