AUTHOR'S NOTE: So yeah. Since this is all about living on Alternia, I'm going to eventually need to put in other trolls as minor characters and for background purposes, as well as a few other things. Therefore, if you have a fantroll and you're interested, feel free to PM me with it if you want to see him or her appear in this adventure.
It's entirely possible that they could get a larger role in the story than just a small appearance in the background, or a bit part. If you have any ideas for a role your troll could play, you can mention it in the PM. If I think your troll might be perfect for a certain role, I'll be sure to ask you if that'd be alright with you first.
Anyway, doing this would definitely be appreciated and I will make sure to give credit for all original sprites used.
The night falls once more. However, this particular night is no ordinary one. Tonight marks the one sweep anniversary of your exile, and you've decided that this momentous occasion should mark another significant event as well.
Tonight will be the first night of the rest of your life. Your period of suffering is complete, and thus now you must work toward redemption. It will be a long and arduous road, of course, but you have met some people in your travels, people who you can rely on for support. Yes...the time is right.
Okay, you're out of the tree, reflection time is over. You are that girl, that one in the middle of this clearing. You have decided that today marks the first step you will take in order to reclaim your honor and former life.
What will you do?

You, like many young trolls, had your PLACRONYM engraved with your name when you were 6. You already have a perfectly fine name, thank you very much. Some of your less organized friends friends may have lost theirs, though. But this raises a good point, you probably should spend some time telling us about you.

And this is a perfect jumping-off point. You shot all of the arrows.
Anyway...your name is TRAICI SODALI, and you ARE...WERE A PROFESSIONAL SNIPER. You kind of blew that, though, so here you are. As was blatantly pointed out previously, you are now in EXILE, although you still have a few ties to troll society remaining. Those ties are, in fact, some of the people you have befriended over your SWEEP OF NOMADIC LIFE.
Oh yeah, that's probably a thing you should mention. You're HOMELESS. Which is to say, you ABANDONED YOUR HIVE after you were exiled. You assume your lusus is taking care of the place while you travel, but you're not sure if she's even STILL ALIVE. Somewhat related to this, of course, are your various INTERESTS AND SKILLS. For one thing, you have an UNCANNY SENSE OF DIRECTION. Along with this, you have an EXTREME FONDNESS FOR MAPS AND CHARTS. Not like TREASURE MAPS, mind you, more along the lines of MAPS DEPICTING LARGE AREAS OF LAND. You also happen to like PUZZLES, although you haven't particularly humored that interest in a while. Every so often, you find something to challenge your intellect, though. Finally, you hold a fondness for STRATEGY GAMES AND SCENARIOS. You find this interest to be very useful, as you generally need to hunt for your food every night and you always like to find NEW AND CREATIVE WAYS TO DO SO. Anyway, you like to practice with your BOW AND ARROW frequently, generally drawing targets to shoot at. Keeps you accurate, you know? You figure that if you manage to redeem yourself, you'd be a shoe-in for the noble ranks of the ARCHERADICATORS.
You occasionally chat online with your few friends, only half of whom you can ACTUALLY STAND TO BE AROUND. The other half...you'll get to them later. Your trolltag is victoriousVeritas and <<you Would prefer to be soft spoken and eVVen tempered.>>

There's nothing wrong with a pair of serviceable pink sneakers! Hey, you like pink and you think you pull it off pretty well. It's not a crime to like being a little fashionable, you know! It's why you have these shades, as well.

But they're more than a simple fashion accessory. Your old job used to require a lot of on-your-feet thinking and planning, so you had these custom-made COMPU-SHADES. You can pull up all sorts of maps and plans and diagrams, go online to search up all sorts of useful information...really, it's one of the few things that you've kept. You've been using it to look up survival techniques for the last sweep, and you've gotten pretty good at living in the wilderness because of it.
Not only that, but you can access the internet anywhere since it's connected to the phone network. TECHNOLOGY.

Ugh. What does this clown want?

Alright, let's take a look at your stuff. You have:
100 ARROWS.
A ROCK.
2 STICKS.
2 MAPS.
1...uh...EMBARRASSING THING. Yeah. That's what you're going to call it.
Anyway, you have it all stored in your BULL'S-EYE MODUS. The least valuable objects are stored in the outer rings, and as they go up in value they enter the harder-to-hit areas of the target. Obviously, it provides a bow and arrow to use for this task. But hey, it's not like this poses any sort of challenge for you. As for your plans to head off...
This is a map of your general area. It's about several hundred square miles, so walking anywhere is probably going to take a while...but hey, all of your friends (and some of your "friends") live around here.
Of course, tonight is mercifully long enough that walking such long distances is plausible. It is the middle of the third dark season, after all.
Also, there's a bunch of other places that you can go. So...
>Visit one of your friends? (If so, which one?)
>Go to the City?
>Explore the Wilderness? (If so, what part?)

> Once you're done in the city, go visit your BFF.
You immediately get walking. You'll have to head through the forest in order to get to your BFF's house, though. Of course, you always have to be prepared...
When you walk through the Alternian Wilderness, you can be attacked by just about anything.
