The Devil's Wake [M] (F)

[Awean8]

Rated Mature for mass amounts of violence, blood, and gore.

"I've seen the God of Death himself sweep onto the battlefield, wrap his wings around my comrades and fly them to the River of Sorrows. I've seen surfs fight for horses, while knights simply fled. My countrymen praise me as a warhero, when in my heart and soul I know for certain that the Nine Devils are waiting to drag me to thier depths."

---------------

The year is 533 T.E and the Ishtarian Empire has ruled most of the continent of Tu'rril for centuries, bringing peace and order to an otherwise barbaric land. The colonies along the eastern coast however are highly traditional and refuse to conform under Imperial law. Despite this however, an uneasy peace was held for more than one and a half century. Sadly, this ended when certain colonials were blamed for the death of a royal member of Ishataria. This was enough to bring war between the two.

This war has dragged on for seven years, ravaging the land and causing the neglect of the people. The entire continent has been swallowed by chaos. The kings and chieftains poured out their own hate for each other, without a single thought for the consequences. The corrupt bureaucrats used this time to gain power in the court, while at the same time bandits on the road used the chaos to become organized enough to be a threat to be realized.

It is now the late fall of 540 T.E and an immense battle is anticipated to occur on the desolate Gray Plains. The Imperial Army is being lead by the brave but young, Prince Kastor, while the Colonies are being lead by a mysterious female general who is only known as "the Witch".

For whatever reason you now have donned your uniform and started your march to the Gray Plains. These barren wastelands takes after its namesake, and a cool breeze blows in from the snow capped mountains to the north. Although the weather was clear, the skies were gray with clouds and small freckles of ice danced with the wind. You hear the boots of your comrades marching, and far off into the distance you can see the opposing army. A large blurry mass, moving over the landscape to meet you. You realize that this day will be but one of many battles that you will take part in.

Notes: Just like my more light-hearted rp, Bastards!, The Devil's Wake is based around the same world. The only thing is it won't be as light-hearted. The atmosphere will be rather grave actually.

Classes

Inquisitor- (http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h411/awean8/Inquisitor2.jpg?t=1306790365) They are a special sect of the Imperial Cathedral, who have taught themselves to fight for the Gods. The Inquisitors are often controversial for their open racism towards magical creatures due to the Daemon blood that flows through them.

Champion- (http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h411/awean8/Champion3.jpg?t=1306790393) The Colonies most skilled warriors have gathered to participate in this war. Along with their obvious combat prowess they also have basic knowledge of certain fire and healing magic.

Knight- (http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h411/awean8/Eleni.jpg?t=1306790939) Clad in heavy plate mail and mounted atop horses the Imperial Knight is the symbol of hierarchy and order. They are given the best crafted weapons and the best training available to them due to their lifelong ties to the nobility.

Soldier- (http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h411/awean8/Soldier2.jpg?t=1306790941) On both sides the Soldiers fight. War is their profession. Discipline has sculpted these warriors into the tools in which to attempt the destruction of their master's enemies. They're duties however vary. While in the service you may be placed on the frontlines, or possibly an archer, or if your lucky a messenger .

Mage- (http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h411/awean8/Mage.jpg?t=1306790332) The Arcane arts are an integrated part of Colonial society, since its used to make everyone's lives easier. Most at least know simple levitation spells, but those who dwell in the school of Destruction are drafted into the army as essential assets. Battle-Mages should know the most common elemental magics, and than some. Rarely, is there ever a talented mage to ever study, and truly master the more difficult schools.

Inventors- (http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h411/awean8/Inventor.jpg?t=1306790265) They build machines. In the war they build the empire massive tanks that roll over all that get in their way, some may do their own tinkering sometimes successfully building themselves their own weapons for war, and even more rarely inventions for peace.

Rogue- (http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h411/awean8/Rogue3.jpg?t=1306790550) Those of a more irrefutable reputation were drafted by the Colonies to become spies and assassins. They're job is to obtain information, while also carrying out duties that require more than the average amount of subterfuge. On occasion when the need is desperate they will be thrown into the fray along with soldiers to fight.

Other Misc. Information




Ae- (http://img.booru.org/Grognard//images/20/6024095ab3af416a05a2ef4d805b70f1034f31ae.jpg) He was among the first to spawn from the Flames of Creation and he had also been the one to craft the Material Plane by sacrificing the iris within his right eye. He than created the original Heavenly Pantheon, although throughout the coarse of history the Pantheon has not only gained members but lost some as well.

After creating the known universe, Ae kept to his throne within the first sphere of heaven. He has become a bit of a recluse and will only allow council with certain gods, the more neutrally affiliated gods to be particular. Although respected there is a very little percentage of mortals in the world, aside from cults and The Church, who actually pay any tribute at all to him for he has made a point to not get involved mortals.

Thanatos (http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h411/awean8/Thanatos-1.jpg?t=1306791038) - He is the God of Death, or more appropriately the guide to the dead since he merely makes sure that all souls go to their rightful place once life for them is over.

Baldur - A calm and collective blind warrior he guards the door to the First Sphere of Heaven where Ae lies in seclusion. On the mortal world he represents vigilance and duty.

Patronus- (http://img.booru.org/Grognard//images/21/dfcbbb31863f7375ab93e40220c0804b7024a733.png) Mortal born, he is the God of the Moon, and Magic. In his youth as a young prodigy in the arcane arts he attempted to ascend to god-hood by murdering the old God of Magic. Succeeding in this he caused a cataclysm, which caused a war between the Gods and the Devils for over a millenia. Most of the other gods, especially the older ones despise him. He is also the only god in heaven to have arcane power instead of divine.

The Watcher Helios- He represents the sun, the sky and the heavens themselves. He watches over the world as a guardian would. The angels of Elysium follow his command constantly in an eternal battle with the Daemons and Devils of the hells.

Makhai- (http://img.booru.org/Grognard//images/14/f2ade204d814d3a8b747a85065222f7452da0b9b.jpg) The God of Destruction usually toils with the wars that happen in the world. He revels in the slaughter that comes from battles, and he is the most savage of the heavenly gods.

Minerva- Despite her brother, Makhai's, savagery, Minerva on the hand is as wise as any sage could hope to be. She relishes the magic and all natural things in the world. She is one of the only Gods to befriend Patronus.






After the Heavenly Pantheon was created there was an ambitious god who didn't wish to share power, and so he sought other sources of power. Maddened by his ambitions he created Stygia a nightmarish realm of chaos that countered the peace of Elysia, and within this realm created daemons, along with the original Nine Devils. It wasn't too long however until the his creations overcame him, and locked him away in the frozen realm of Cania. His name is forever to be considered taboo among gods, devils, and mortals.

The Nine Devils rule over Stygia, and seek nothing more than to conquer Elysia and the gods, but all invasions have been met with failure due to in fighting.

Mephistopheles (http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h411/awean8/Mephistopheles.jpg) Supreme Ruler over Hell. Lord of Ambition. God of Sin. Being the ruling Emperor of Stygia, he is the most powerful of the Nine. His realm of Cania is the center of Stygia, and is as cold as his cruel heart. Master of plots, he plans every move millinia before they even happen. He has spies in every plane, constantly feeding him information so he can stay to date. Besides his cunning, he also has devastating fire magic that could melt the flesh off the bones of a seasoned army with one sweep.

Lucifer (http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h411/awean8/Lucifer.jpg) - He proudly holds the title Prince of all Demons, and there is without any doubt among both the Gods and the Devils that he is the greatest warrior in Stygia. He has been known to slaughter entire armies of angels, and on occasion opposing demons. It is said that when he fights his twin swords actually sing along with his movements. Many of the other Devils hold contempt for him, due to his title and power but most aren't willing to risk their lives to do anything about it.

Baal (http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h411/awean8/Baal.jpg) - The Lord of Murder, he has been plotting to kill Mephistopheles for several millenia but never really seizing any opportunity. He is the third most powerful and dwells in his twisted land of blood, and nightmarish horrors. When angered he will turn into a unrelenting personification of death and destruction.

Jezebeth (http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h411/awean8/Jezebeth.jpg) - Duchess over Prophecies, she can foretell the future, but is often unwilling to divulge the entire truth to those who want it. She also has powerful psionics that allows to enslave most lesser demons.

Belial (http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h411/awean8/Belial.jpg)- Since he was once a lesser demon who had managed to overthrow his Devil tyrant he is one of the more civil of the other Nine. He is polite, but will strike hard when the need arises. His power manifests itself as a powerful guardian spirit that never truly leaves him.

Beezlebub (http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h411/awean8/Beezlebub.jpg) - The Lord of the Flies. Master of plots within plots. He has the ability to see through any conspiracy, and is able to foretell the persons motive allowing him to take measures against such things.

Deumos (http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h411/awean8/Deumos.jpg) - The Queen of lies. She governs over the succubi, and incubi. She has strong seductive charms that even the most strong willed will find difficult to resist.

Azrael (http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h411/awean8/Azrael.jpg)- Lord of Fear. He represents nightmares, and within his abhorrent realm lies some of the strangest frightening creatures to ever walk the planes.

Samael (http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h411/awean8/Samael.jpg)- He is the largest of all the Devils, while at the same time being the least intelligent. Although obviously biologically reptilian, he acts a bit more like a canine even acting as the pack leader to all the hellhounds.




NPC's and Important Characters.

Prince Kastor- (http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h411/awean8/PrinceKastor.jpg?t=1306789865) Young and brave, the Imperial Prince leads his armies to the Gray Plains. Although he's usually cool and filled with bravado recently he has been showing a strange personality change. He has an unknown shine in his eyes, as if he knows something no one else does, and all the while he speaks in riddles whenever asked about it.

The Witch-Not much is known about her, except that it is said that she is a powerful mage. She leads the Colonial armies, but she distances herself from them, even going as far as wearing a veil as to not reveal her face. It is not exactly known what she looks like behind the veil, and the Colonies are more than a little suspicious of her but their cause can't afford to lose her cunning battle strategies.

The Ragpicker- An odd old woman who has apparently followed the armies to the Gray Plains in order to loot the bodies. She has a blunt but realistic moral system, and a terrible cough.



The Knights of the White Lion - An order of notoriously inept knights who are infamous for laziness, tardiness, drunkenness, trouble making and other non-professional behavior. The Order is lead by none other than Lord Tristan Cyril, who sometimes actually encourages their behavior as long they don't hurt anyone. Despite, everything most forget to include that all thirty members of the Order are genuinely kind-hearted and the do their best to help when needed. They have a constant rivalry with the more prestigious Crimson Knights, who are more militaristic.



http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h411/awean8/Turril.jpg?t=1304994652



October 14th - 533 T.E

"All has gone according to plan. I have seen to the Prince's death, and his cousin, Tristan, has managed to survive, although without his fair share of scars. The Gray Plains has been turned into a graveyard, and in the morning the first of Winter's snow will bury the bodies."










Elves- (http://img.booru.org/Grognard//images/14/0003ca6ee4c94930336c03989b6ffdd38289010b.jpg) They are one of the last remaining Elder races among Dwarves, and Orcs. They were the most magical among them. The Elves have been known to be loners who often lived among nature's glory within the woods, but can on occasion be found living among humans. They are known to be beautiful and charismatic. Despite they're usually cool and calm nature they actually have more Daemon blood within them than any of the other Elder races, which is the reason for both their natural skill with magic and their long life spans.

In recent years Elves have been driven to almost extinction. Most have become drifters separate from any set Elvish culture. Many have found a living being Bards, while others have found other ways of surviving the Inquisition.

They worship only two of the Heavenly Pantheon. Elrond, God of Beasts and Gaia, God of the Earth.


Adaro (https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Qefsy-eAOOo/TYmwPw9qvFI/AAAAAAAAArU/ZBRTFjLuKZQ/s1600/adaro.jpg) This race lives in the deep oceans, they do not care much for the politics of other races. Occasionally they will comes into conflict with other races but they harbor no hatred. The Adaro are extremely strong and can swim faster than most creatures in the ocean. They can speak common languages but are only able to speak discernibly underwater. If out of the water their speech is nothing but high pitched shrieks.



Gobs- (http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h411/awean8/Gob.jpg?t=1306798909) They are a tribal species of humanoids whom are usually savage or mischievous. Although weak and short in stature they are cunning and unrelenting hunters. The Gob caste system is split up between warriors, hunters, shamans, slaves, and the King of Gobs himself.


Devils (http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h411/awean8/62d9ba353c779538b511d21d9799816ff93202a1.jpg)- Although at the very core they are evil creatures capable of destruction they are however aware of the order of the world, and follow a strict hierarchy with imp slaves at the bottom and the Nine at the top. Devils are organized in their ambitions, and a very much involved in planar politics for in essence their main goal is to destroy and/or rule Elysia. A side goal for Devils is to attain the souls of mortals, which not only act as a fuel source for their powers but also allows them to control those whose souls they possess.


In appearance they resemble humanoids, sometimes even humans yet still have various odd or even monstrous qualities to them.

Daemons (http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h411/awean8/DaemonArmy.jpg)- They are said to be born from chaos itself, but the truth is that when the Devils had overthrown the Mad God, Daemons were Devils who had been driven mad themselves by his influence. They desire nothing else other than the destruction of everything until they are destroyed themselves. Daemons are machines of murder and chaos. They follow no one save for those they feel will lead to the most destruction. Demogorgon (http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h411/awean8/Demogorgon_by_nJoo.jpg), the King of Daemons, is the greatest if not the only substantial leader the Daemon horde has and he holds it well through fear. Unlike the Devils, Daemons have evolved to resemble their personalities with little human features to speak of.

Through small holes within Stygia, some lesser Daemons are actually able to escape to cause havoc upon the Mortal Plane and occasionally breed which is the reason for most of the magical creatures that roam around although not all are evil

Since even before the Mortal Plane had came into existence the Stygian plane has been subject to war between the Devils and the Daemons.


Cherubs (http://www.angel-ology.com/images/Sm_Cherubim.jpg)- They are the soldiers and servants to the Gods. Angels were born from strands of Garland's hair long ago before the Mortal Plane even existed. Born with the will to serve Elysia very rarely do any rebel. However when angels do they are put on trial and sentenced to Stygia.

In appearance, Cherubs sport seven wings, sometimes thousands of eyes, and multiple heads of which are sometime those of various animals.






Rotfiend - (http://vnmedia.ign.com/screenshots/warhammer/22765803.jpg) creatures of the nephilim family - monsters born of death that feed on the flesh of the living. Rotfiends are humanoid monsters that have been mutated and twisted by evil forces or spirits or by a powerful mage. Slow and shambling, the Rotfiends move in large mobs, wielding rusty weapons laced with plague. They cane use their own innards as a means to capture their prey - using their intestines as a lasso. Their saliva is acidic and the corpse gas expelled from the open wounds in their bodies are toxic and noxious.

The easiest way to kill a Rotfiend is to set them on fire, which would ignite the corpse gas and cause them to explode. Avoid melee combat with Rotfiends at all costs. Prolonged exposure to the corpse gas can result in dreadful sickness that is usually fatal.

Carrion Hound (http://mythicmktg.fileburst.com/war/us/home/images/newsletter/2008_02/spawn02.jpg)- a creature that is part nephilim and part beast, the Carrion Hound is a compound creation of decrepit flesh from multiple rotting bodies. The Hound is a juggernaut that is constantly searching for more prey. The only way the Hound can continue existing is to keep on killing to replace the rotting flesh on its body with new flesh. The Carrion Hound's only weapon is the rusted iron horned helmet and its incredible mass and strength. Fighting the Carrion Hound head-on is almost guaranteed suicide. The best way to fight a Carrion Hound is to starve it, if possible. Failing that, try and make it run in to an object sturdier than it is powerful, as hard pressed a task as that may be.

Shades (http://i55.tinypic.com/14jrkoo.png) - Shades are souls that have been ripped out of thier mortal bodies by necromancers, or have been trapped upon death, or simply couldn't make it to the afterlife by order of the Gods. They wander Tur'ril, seeking ways to make it to the afterlife.

Shades are completely black, transparent apparitions. The only color on a shade comes from their eyes. The eyes are a different color for almost every shade. The color depends on the shade's aura, the color of the aura is based upon the shade's personality.

Upon being turned into a shade, the shade gaines powerful abilities based upon thier auras. Shades are usually not hostile, but will sometimes show depression or irritation when around mortals.






Nymph (http://images.elfwood.com/art/c/r/crisortega/nymph.jpg)- Nymphs are created from the bodies of the dead and/or dying whenever they are touched by pure elemental magic. They are all female. and they exist to serve the Elementals. Individually they are creatures of low intelligence but in a group they share a hive mind and can be capable of greater intelligence. in the presence of an elemental they act as mediums as it speaks through them. they are technically human in biology except for the elemental properties given to them

Sea Elemental (http://dibujantes.org/images/Ilustracion/Grandes/WaterElemental.jpg) - These elementals are the only elementals without Nymphs instead they are protected by the Adaro who worship them as gods. Like most elementals the sea elemental is passive unless pollution or overfishing occurs. Pure fresh water constantly flows from their bodies which is in turn composed of water.

Fire Elemental (http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs22/f/2007/327/4/0/Anima__Fire_Demon_by_Wen_M.jpg) - This elemental is strangely far more intelligent than its other elemental counterparts. Despite their malignant appearance they are fairly good natured. This Elemental is capable of speech but prefers to use nymphs. Its body resembles a human skeleton but is in fact composed of lava.

Cielia, Air Elemental (http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs40/f/2009/012/4/e/Anima__Wind_Elemental_Boss_by_Wen_M.jpg) - Ages ago a young mage followed the exploits of Patronus and learned from his example. She attempted to aquire the power of an Elemental. She however did not intend to become one. She was arrogant and it cost her her humanity. Instead Cielia became an Air Elemental. As an air elemental Cielia was given the responsibility of the control of the winds. She has the largest group of Nymphs under her control and she mainly resides in the Northern Mountains. Their are rumors that she rules over a hidden castle in the mountains

Forest Elemental (http://www.totalwallpapers.com/fantasy/wallpapers/tree-elemental.jpg)- Large Hulking beasts. These rare creatures are almost immortal capable of living forever and recovering from even the smallest seed. A Forest Elemental lives only to protect their forests. Generally they don't mind humans unless tree harvesting becomes too prolific. They promote plant growth where ever they walk and on whatever they touch.

Grey Men (http://bestfantasystories.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/White_Walker1.jpg) - tall and gaunt creatures with skin has hard as bone and eyes that can pierce the soul and freeze even the hardest soldier or most soulless wretch with fear as long as they hold a single shred of doubt in their hearts. They wield blades crudely forged of a strange stone only found beyond the Grey Plains that is said to rest iron and flesh with startling ease. They ride upon giant, pale spiders and terrorize travelers and nomadic barbarian tribes, though they have not been seen for thousands of years, and have slipped in to myth and legend.

Frost Giants (http://cghub.com/files/Image/020001-021000/20314/978_realsize.jpg) - Rare creatures that stalk the mountains beyond the Grey Plains, changing the geography wherever they go. Giants rarely get involved in conflicts, but the Grey Men have found a way to slave one or two giants in the past and use them as great weapons of war. Giants are omnivores, eating stones and the flesh of smaller creatures.



Sand Wraith (http://www.studiodaily.com/images/articles/12195_1272997497.jpg) - a massive black scorpion able to swallow a man whole with an exoskeleton as hard as iron. The venom is powerful enough to kill a man in a matter of seconds and its claws are strong enough to cut a bull in half. Some of the nomadic folk have found a way to tame the creatures and use them as animals of war.

Aveconi (http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs43/f/2009/091/a/4/Bird_Dragon_bookmarks_set_1_by_Hbruton.jpg) - Aveconi are bird dragons. They can range in size from that of a small dog to that of a imperial dragon or larger. They live extremely long lives and prey on other species of dragon as well as other creatures. They normally travel in packs, like wolves, but the greater their size, the less likely they are to travel in packs. They are vicious hunters, but docile pets. It is been documented that Aveconi hunt dragons, though no one has ever seen a Aveconi bring down a dragon. These creatures are used as transportation mostly, but the smaller sized Aveconi can be kept as pets, though it is unwise to leave ones horse or other pet around them. Their abilities include breathing the elements and causing hypnotism.

Unicorn (http://images.elfwood.com/art/s/p/spyrre/gold_unicorn3.jpg) - Appearing to be an odd breed of horse the much smaller, and rarer Unicorn is said to contain miraculous healing properties within it's horn. Unicorn horn is said to be one of the materials that will grant Immortality when brought together. Unicorns however are said to be all but extinct.





Dread Wyrm (http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/MM35_gallery/MM35_PG211.jpg) -A Beast that typically resides in the North. They mostly consume rock absorbing the minerals and rare ores within. The type of Dread Wyrm is apparent from its armor which takes on the properties of the Minerals it absorbs. It can eat anything though including magic. The only vunerablility this creature has is its gaping mouth which is too heavy for it to close. This creature never stops growing and has been known to live for hundreds of years growing to immense proportions

Draug (http://www.warhammer-online.com.cn/media/conceptArt/full/KnightOfTzeentch.jpg) - Rare entities who are said to have re-animated by Makhai himself in order to do his bidding in the materaial world. They kill whatever wanders on to their fields of damnation. The body of a Draug is made from remains of a battlefield - armor, weapons, and parts of siege engines which are all held together by a single spirit. The only way to kill the Draug is to destroy the spirit by piercing it with a weapon or spell. The trick is finding the spirit beneath all the armor.

Velune

Although it at first glance appears as a simple pin, or broach if taken in hand and with the uttering of the proper words it will turn into a weapon of the users choosing. It also has the ability to completely phase through all metal materials making piercing through armor a lot like swinging at the air.
This weapon was crafted by rather strange changeling warrior who went on a quest to hunt a mighty dragon that ravaged the land.

Vial of the Styx

This vial of glowing silver liquid is a sample from the river of Styx itself. It contains the souls of those who are in purgatory. A single drop of this water will heal any injury no matter how severe.

Star-Shooter

It is special longbow crafted by the elves that shoots magical beams that appear as golden lightning bolts. When the bow's string is drawn the beams will manifest themselves between the user's fingers making this weapon invalueable due to a lack for the need of constant ammunition.

Philosopher's Stone

This artificact is speculated to have been at the center of the flames that had created the universe, and a small spark of those flames still remain within it. Legends say that the mad-wizard Xeno was swallowed by the stone when he first attempted to use it, and ever since than the stone has alluded researchers for no one knows how to make it work exactly.
It is said that when used the stone will destroy the world. Others say that it will raise an army of indestructible soldiers. Even rarer stories say that it can bring back the dead.

The Tear of Thanatos


Long ago when the Material Plane had first been created all life lived forever, until several became angry because they thought themselves far superior to Ae's lesser creations. Several of the gods banded together and created death, and so in order to regulate the souls of the newly dead Thanatos was given the task.

He was sent to reside within the border between Stygia and Elysia. When Thanatos had finally seen the endless amount of dead souls he cried a single tear to mourn them.

This sword is that tear. It is a legendary weapon that most researchers have proven it to be mere fiction. Folk lore tells of how it can slaughter entire armies by the thousands with just one swing, however it must be used by someone of pure heart or the Tear will swallow the user.

[Atrum Daemon]

I might toss my hat in here.

[Awean8]

Woah. Thank god someone has taken an interest! After the first day of NO ONE I thought this rp was absolutely doomed. XD

[Atrum Daemon]

Lemme know if I should add more or whatnot.

Name: Garret Lucina
Age: 30
Nationality: Empire
Class: Soldier
Appearance: http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm213/Daemon_010/M2_Warrior.jpg

Personality: A determined and courageous individual with a strong will and sharp mind. Garret understands his place as a soldier and embraces it with the willingness to perform his duties and be an example to the lower ranks. He is a little rough around the edges and not the best choice for social company if one is not looking to hear a blunt opinion.

Bio: Born to a family with a rich history of military and religious service, Garret was introduced into the arts of battle once he was able to walk and talk. It was clear to him early on that his path would either take him to the Cathedral or the battlefield. A young Garret chose military life over that of a priest, even though his younger brother would go on to become an Inquisitor. His natural talents for fighting and willingness to follow orders saw Garret become an officer by the time he was twenty-eight.

For duty’s sake, he now marches to the Gray Plains. He does not pretend to understand the deeper political reasoning and hopes to see his men survive.

[Awean8]

Great! Accepted.
We'll just need to wait for more people to show up.

[Xanthuss]

I don't think I understand this role-play totally. Whats the plot? In what direction is the role-play supposed to go?

[Awean8]

Well, it starts out where our characters are thrown into a massive battle. Our characters are actually likely to face each other during the battle if they chose different allegiances, but it will all end the same way, I guess. The battle ends, and for whatever reason our characters are the only known survivors. Isolated and far from any towns, our first quest will be to get to civilization.

I have plans for the what will happen if we get that far, but I'd rather not spoil it.

[Awean8]

Name: Tristan Cyril
Age: 19
Nationality: Empire
Class: Knight
Appearance: http://img.booru.org/Grognard//images/1/4bd79b6e1b29a871befc590099cc16eff02dff5c.jpg
Personality: He is easy-going and a bit lazy, but charming. Although he comes off as irresponsible and sometimes even selfish, he actually does take it upon himself to make sure that the Prince is always safe. He also has a deep conscience that can sometimes overshadows everything else. Tristan has developed a certain naivety to the troubles of the outside world, since he grew up in the Capitol, but despite this lack of knowledge and experience he has proven to be an intelligent leader and strategist.

Bio: His cousin and best friend has alway been Prince Kastor. Growing up as pages in Anglicion, the Imperial Capitol, life got quite boring so Tristan and the Prince often got into trouble playing pranks, and wooing attractive ladies. Even after becoming a squire, and than eventually a knight, nothing seemed to bring down his usually charming personality.

Tristan loathes the idea of battle, and has never actually been in one other than harmless skirmishes related to training. Kastor is now leading the army, which means Tristan has to follow to make sure he comes back alive.

[Damonique]

I would just give Awaen the benefit of the doubt, really. He's good at coming up with awesome shit despite his own incompetence.

Also, I'm probably going to join this, just give me some time to get my character together.

[Damonique]

Also, how much magic/holy intervention is there in this RP?

[Awean8]

Awww, Damon your words really hurt sometimes, but thanks anyway for the awesome shit comment. XD

Magic, both clerical and arcane really depend on the talent of the character in question.
Here's a range to refer to.

Novice: Elemental magic, levitation, the ability to create light, and other cantrips.
Intermediate: Defensive shields, counter magic, charms, and potent offensive magic
God-like: Manipulation over time and space, instant death spells, psionics, etc, etc, etc.

Obviously God-like powers are off limits. Just think D&d.

EDIT: I'm thinking of making a set spell-book for casters.....but would that be to much of a nuisance?

[Damonique]

NOT COOL. I prefer self-moderation when it comes to that sort of thing.

Oh yeah, my character is going to be a badass RETIREE! Here's what I've got so far. He used to be a Priest-Warrior, and Knight-Captain of the Inquisition(The Knights of the Inquisition being an Inquistorial order that, while not Daemon-bonded Inquisitors themselves, served as the military arm of the order). After a large campaign in which he reached the rank of Knight-captain through a series of battlefield promotions and acts of bravery, he was expected to complete the final rout and return as a hero. It was a disaster. His units moved into a killing field and he himself lost most of his right arm and shoulder to a bolt of entropic energy(Just imagine that theres a huge hole in the shoulder area of his torso melded back together by healing magic). Having served as leading officer during the disaster, he was disgraced, stripped of his rank, and(Ceremonially) excommunicated.

Out of respect to his past service, he was offered a fresh leave, exiled to the farthest coastal colony , presumably to live a simple life and die without a name on his grave. He did not. Though he had been ceremonially excommunicated by the Inquisition, he retained his God's Favor and Holy Powers. He threw in his lot with the colonies from the first mutterings of open war, primarily training his own sect of devoted Priest-warriors with the specific duty of countermanding the Empire's own fanatical converts.

Without his right arm, in most cases he would be a much lesser warrior than any other man, but in times of great need and in one of the war-trances that lent the Knights of the Inquisition their terrible reputation as dealers of death, the gods will grant him the favor of a celestial arm where his true limb would be, capable of smiting with holy wrath as an extension of himself. In some, lesser battles, the demonstration of this overbearing mark had been held by the colony soldiers and leadership that the Empire no longer has the gods favor, only rallying their cause greater.

tl;dr, He's an exiled priest-night-occasional demigod who smites imperials and doesn't afraid of anything

As a counter to his awesome, he iiissss 54 years old and lacking an arm, and the 'Smiting Power' only works some of the time. The rest of it, he's just an old guy with some serious moves and a propensity to talk in poetry.

And yes, I am min/maxing. Know how you create a good character in D&D? You take sans arm, age, bad eyesight, circumstantial usefullness, and only speaks in quasi-iambic pentameter as flaws in exchange for the most epic backstory ever and the power to go into a pain-proof war-trance and utilize an arm of divine energy that can smite things in any one of a million ways whenever the gods decide its a good idea to let you do that.

[Awean8]

Sounds pretty epic, and surprisingly balanced. Whenever he goes into demi-god mode make sure it also lasts for a short duration just so your not slaying everything for posts on end.

Finding a way to fix his arm would definitely be a cool sub-plot later on.

Cool, I didn't really want to trap everyone to set spell book anyway.

[Awean8]

Ignore this.

[Jacogos]

Hmmm...
1) Nonhumans allowed?
2) What's this about Daemons??
3) How far can I go as far as creating a mercenary group that works for the Empire that my character is a part of/leads? xD

[Damonique]

Yeah, I like to do that in D&D as well. You can only make a character particularly awesome on the outset if you are willing to make some concessions.

And Jac, since my character has his own order of Knight-Priest, I don't think Awaen would be against it, though as far as I can tell your entire band is going to have to die of horrible deaths.

[Awean8]

Yea, no non-humans sorry. In this world, magical creatures are fairly hard to come by, and are all descended from Daemons. Although the Daemon blood has nothing to do with their moral character. Don't worry we'll definitely be encountering some pretty supernatural shit on our journey. I'll be filling in a bestiary as we go.

It's perfectly fine if you want your character to lead a mercenary band, but like Damon said by the end of the intro battle they should all be dead. Sounds like good character development though.

[Awean8]

Also Damon, and whoever else plans to join this please get your character sheet posted as soon as possible. I've got the OP all typed out and I just want to make sure it doesn't conflict with any of your characters.

[Damonique]

Sorry, I'm trying to get my CS together but things are going slowly.

[Awean8]

Its cool, I'm just getting a little too overeager. I should probably wait for more people to show up.

[Ovan]

Name: Valen
Age: 20
Nationality: Colonies
Class: Rogue
Appearance:http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d142/loveittt/Anime%20pics/assassin_me.jpg

Personality: Valen doesn't really talk much and doesn't have much of a personality only the intent to kill his enemies. He keeps to himself and is very calm in any situation. Valen likes to exploit every possible option before making any decisions in order to execute any task successfully. Valen is one of the colonies top assassin and executes any order he is given without question.

Bio:Unknown (well for now)

[Awean8]

Can you try to add a little bit more? Especially to his personality since if he only has the intent to kill how is going to work together with the rest of the group?

[Ovan]

yeah sorry haha ill work on it kinda just threw this together

[Awean8]

It's cool. There's no real rush. I'm getting tired so I'll probably be turning in soon, so hope to see on tomorrow or some such.

[Ovan]

alright i will hopefully have a bio by then probably going to turn in as well though

[Awean8]

G'night

[RisingPhoenix]

Name: Akira Harishia
Age: 34
Nationality: Colonial
Class: Battle Mage
Appearance:
http://images.ados.fr/amour-et-sexualite/photo/4505309450/heise-slash/into-green-heise-22547435fd.jpg
Personality: He is not one of which to get on the bad side of. He is very calm and collected even in the most heated of battles. He does not let things get to him, and focuses on the mission at hand. He is very trustworthy and very knowledgeable. He sometimes speaks condescendingly, even if he doesn't mean to. He can be very persuasive. He enjoys fighting and learning and training, it is a part of who he is. He doesn't fight just to kill, but more so the thrill of fighting an enemy that may be potentially stronger than him.

He will speak his mind and will not back down from a challenge, in fact he loves a challenge and welcomes them freely. He doesn't rub his status in the face of others, but he doesn't allow others to walk over him. It is to be noted that he hasn't shown any emotions ever since he set out on the journey to become the best of the best.
Bio: He was not born into the ideal family, nor was he considered a prodigy. Everything he knows and owns was worked for and earned. He doesn't know the meaning of "easy" and that is what drives him to over achieve in his goals. He's never been considered a nobleman or any type of royalty, and most simply looked down on him, but he never took offense, instead he buried himself in Arcane books. He began learning, developing his skills and honing his power. He began traveling, training with the best there was. He began collecting different spell books in order to broaden his mind and arsenal. Though he is only 34 years old, he has the magical prowess of an Ancient Elder Mage and the fighting skills of a Champion. This is due to his extreme will to learn and train.

Because of his masterful talents and battle tactics, he rose in the ranks under "the Witch" and soon became one of her right hand men. Akira does his job well and without question. His marvelous knowledge base gives him quite the arsenal to handle any situation. He has the potential to become one of the rare few to have ever mastered the more difficult schools of the arcane arts, standing at the precipice to do so.

[Awean8]

Great! Once you've filled in the rest you're accepted. :D

You probably missed the OOC conversation between Damon and I concerning magic so I'll just copy and paste.


Novice: Elemental magic, levitation, the ability to create light, and other cantrips.
Intermediate: Defensive shields, counter magic, charms, and potent offensive magic
God-like: Manipulation over time and space, instant death spells, psionics, etc, etc, etc.

Obviously God-like powers are off limits.

[Awean8]

ignore this.

[RisingPhoenix]

I always do this. Every time I say I'm submitting a partial character sheet, I end up filling the entire thing out and then going to bed instead of filling it out partially and then finishing it up the next day. Oh well, I suppose it's a good quality to have. I've finished him.....

[Awean8]

Well, there's still the personality to type in. :p

[RisingPhoenix]

I just filled in the Personality at 3:56 AM EST. I just wanted to have my character submitted just in case something comes up later today that prohibits me from getting online. This is an excellent idea and I look forward to roleplaying with you all.....

[Awean8]

Okay cool. Accepted. I'll just add you to the list.
For serious now though I really need to get some sleep, so if wanna you know any other details about anything concerning the rp just let me know tomorrow.

[Jacogos]

Mmkay... I'll see what I can do, then. On the off chance of the possibilities, does daemon blood automatically make one a non-human? :P I'm loop-holing the shit out of this, cause I like daemons xD

[Awean8]

Well, interesting.....I'll pm you an idea I have.

[Damonique]

Ovan:HISTORY UNKNOWN IS NOT A FUCKING OPTION!BIO IS MANDATORY FOR CHARICTERIZATION. JUST BECAUSE YOUR CHARACTER IS A FUCKING MYSTERIOUS PSYCHO THAT OUR CHARACTERS KNOW NOTHING ABOUT, DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO HOLD IT FROM THE PLAYER. THAT JUST MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE YOUR LAZY AND HALF-ASSING IT!

-Excerpt, Damoniques Profanity-Laced Big Book of How to RP, Revision #idon'tfuckingknowitsnotarealthingjustajoketomakea point

If that was just a placeholder for when you get your bio worked out, I rescend this statement. Know that I am not really insulting you and only picking a more comedic option for effect. I'm like that to everyone at some point or another, get used to it.

[sevendeadlysins]

If it's too short, let me know, I'll add to it.

Name: Isaac Aspere

Age: 19

Nationality: Colonies

Class: Mage

Appearance: http://i55.tinypic.com/2evq88y.jpg

Personality: Isaac is a very thoughtfu, intelligent, perceptive and kind person. He always places others before himself. He's usually eager to show his magical abilities whenever possible, and sometimes that can make him a little overly reckless in battle. However reckless he may be in battle, he is still little more than a teenager. He is anything but battle-hardened and is oftentimes fearful, but his willpower is usually able to overcome his fear. All of this aside, he is like any other normal 19 year old boy.

Bio: At a very young age, Isaac discovered his love for the magical arts. He always had an affinity for magic since birth and was sent to a school for magic at the age of 15. The school was almost completely made up of people over the age of 18 so Isaac was ridiculed for his young age even though his magical abilities were as good or better than those of his classmates. He stayed in school until he was 18 when he got sick of the constant ridicule from his classmates, he joined the Colonial army to prove himself to his Class and his parents by coming back to the Colony from a won battle. Of course, his parents never approved of him running off to battle at such a young age. But Isaac was determined, he left home leaving a note for his parents behind explaining his motives.

[Awean8]

Ok. Cool accepted.

Damon, Jac, get your character sheets posted so we can start this ho.

[Damonique]

Heh...the empire is a bit out-gunned here, you know.

[Awean8]

Jac is making an Mercenary Inventor who leads the tank division of the Imperial Division. ;D

That should even the odds.

[RisingPhoenix]

If only we could use our divine magic, then the Imperial Army would be completely decimated :D....... I can't wait to see the remaining character sheet. Nice to have another Mage beside Akira, well Akira is a Battle Mage so there is a difference....

@SevenDeadlySins: Perhaps Akira can tutor Isaac if he wants him to. Be like a mentor like friendship of sorts....

[sevendeadlysins]

Yeah, that'd be cool.

[Sickly]

Name: Val Saint
Age: 27
Nationality: Empire
Class: Inquisitor
http://oi53.tinypic.com/mls7lc.jpg
Personality: A jealous, vain, abusive, but intelligent woman. Val could care less about the gods instead she occupies her time playing politics and moving the chess pieces across the board. Val is solely interested in gaining and preserving power at any cost. A firm believer in the non existence of gods, Val is sure the "Gods" she has come to know are merely entities playing a game with the fate of Common men. Having nothing against the Magical creatures of the world personally allows Val to play both sides of the game and end up winning every time. Her soulless nature isn't a facade though she is actually without a Soul. A Deal with one of the Nine Devils is to blame.
Bio:Originally from a wealthy noble family based in Byzanthara The Saint family quickly fell into ruin when Val's Mother and father died. The wealth and name was hers if it weren't for the selfish needs of an older brother. Val's brother had a gambling addiction and despite her best efforts to keep him from that path he walked it and ended up destroying the wealth their family had had. Val fell into a depression. Her only hope at the time was to salvage he family's name and marry herself off to another nobleman, but her brother had destroyed that too parading around like fool at important social parties. As Val's depression worsened she began to practice black magic and within a few months had begun communing with the Nine Devils on a regular basis. Eventually as her mind begun to fall into the sweet words of the Devils selling her soul for a single wish. However Val was still clever enough hide her wish from the Nine Devils. She wished for wealth, Beauty, and the Cunning of the Nine Devils themselves. With her new found power Val quickly rose through the ranks of the nobility eventually procuring a spot as an Inquisitor. Although a relatively low rank it boosted her reputation as a Noble. Today Val continues to control parts of the political world while furthering herself as an Inquisitor.

[RisingPhoenix]

@Maria: Are you done with your character sheet? Cause if you are, I'd advise to finish the biography part before Damonique sees it, but if you aren't finished with it then I just have to say that she's rather interesting. A soul less Imperial Inquisitor.......

[Awean8]

Very Interesting.....I was kind of hoping to get a woman...since so far all we've had was men. Finish your bio and your accepted.

We're in need of a rogue and a champion....Well, mostly a rogue.

[Sickly]

done

[Sickly]

@Maria: Are you done with your character sheet? Cause if you are, I'd advise to finish the biography part before Damonique sees it, but if you aren't finished with it then I just have to say that she's rather interesting. A soul less Imperial Inquisitor.......

why

[Awean8]

Well, anyway Maria you're accepted! :D

btw
In case you hadn't noticed I've updated the information, and even added a very rough map. I'll probably add stuff and change some of the names.

[Damonique]

Name: Requiem(Title) Grav Palleon
Age:54
Nationality: Former Imperial, Now fighting for the Colonies.
Class: Holy Knight of the Imperial Inquisition(Foremerly) Now Requiem of the Holy Revolution
Appearance:Grav is a tall, aged man, but with an imposing appearence due to his long braid of steel-grey hair and battle-weathered knots of muscle. He wears intricate white robes braided with strands of gold and no armor to speak of. His torso is burned with a mark of Divine Purpose over the irremovable brand of an exile of the empire.

He lacks a Right arm, having lost the limb in his tragic final battle serving for the empire. Where the limb would begin, below the shoulder,is only a fused upraising of milky white skin.

In battle, he wields an ostentatious Scythe intricately inscribed with holy symbols and wrought of pure gold decorated with consecrated diamonds. The weapon would be both completely impractical and even detrimental if it were not for the divine battle-grace he takes on in righteous combat. The rest of the time, the gaudy weapon takes on the appearance of a golden cane topped with a holy Sun-Symbol.

Personality:Grav is a complicated man, a philosopher of sorts, well read and knowledgeable of history. But at the same time, he has an almost fanatical dedication to the rightness of his cause against the empire, believing the gods no longer support the regime and making it his life's work to topple it. He knows that, militarily, the colonies have no chance of toppling the empire, and instead takes advantage of a religeous victory.

He believes that the Colonial army, with his Priest-Warriors at their head, can defeat the mightiest of the Empire's forces in a pitched battle, its people will see the rightness of his cause and overthrow the emperor of their own accord. This causes some conflict between his order and leaders of the Colonial warforce, who seek to claim the Empire's territory as their own.
Bio: Grav Palleon was once a his ranking Knight-Captain of the Knights of the Holy Inquisition, the military arm of the shrouded Imperial inquisition. He was a tactical savant and unshakably devout. His career likely would have made him next in line to be appointed Crusademaster, then Prophet Lord, leader of the Knights of the Inquisition, by the shrouded heads of the Imperial Inquisition.

This was cut sort when his force had a trap sprung on them during the final conflicts of a great crusade. He lost an arm in the battle and returned to the empire a broken man who could have all the blame for the failure shifted upon him.

He was discharged, Ceremonial Excommunicated, and exiled to the furthest regions of the Colonies, to die in obscurity. But his holy vision had not left him, and Palleon threw in his lot with the Colonists revolution, raising an order of fanatical Priest-Warriors under his tutelage. This order is devoted to his cause entirely, and has swelled to over 150 fully-ordained priest-warriors, with a supporting sects of over 300 Holy Knights, that while lacking divine might, wield consecrated weapons, and 200 Healer Mages and warwarders, that weave diving protection around allies and lash out with retributive might.

They will play a key part in this climactic battle, which is Grav's only desired end, to go out with a flash of glory so great the entire Empire will be humbled.

*I know, sounds way over the top, but the way I'm looking at it, during the opening battle, both sides will have unlimited use of Divine intervention, as if the gods themselves are allowed them to fight on even ground. Maybe ALL divine magic will cut out after the battle for some amount of time, once everyone is dead?*

[Damonique]

I know, Bio sucked, I'll explain it all better in posts. I always explain things best in posts.

[Awean8]

Its great man! I love it! Accepted.
Now all we need to do is wait for jac to get his sheet up and we can start. In the meantime anyone else who is interested better hurry up and join.

[Atrum Daemon]

I feel EXTREMELY outclassed at this moment.

[Sickly]

just a note
my character isn't much of a fighter she has some basic swordsmanship but isn't skilled enough to take on a seasoned warrior. so she lets other fight for her. however she does have some roguish qualities preferring to kill her attackers with poisons and a hidden assassins knife.

[sevendeadlysins]

Damonique posted a book, not a bio.

[Sickly]

clearly you people have never seen a real wall of text
damon's post is miniscule

[Awean8]

Lol. You guys are going to love the OP post I already typed up and saved.
It has close to twelve paragraphs. Not including dialogue.

[Sickly]

hmm where should i start
plausible situations:

1. during an assassination of an official who has discovered Val's contract with the Nine Devils.
2. having tea with one of the nine devils while a young woman hangs from her feet by hooks in her ankles just above their heads.
3. laying in bed with a handsome noble having a flirtatious conversation about the extermination of Magical Creatures.

[RisingPhoenix]

I love wall posts if they are grammatically correct and entertaining......

@Atrum: Why do you feel outclassed?

I feel I created a well rounded character with potential for growth within the RP.

[Awean8]

Ummmm......I don't know if you've read up or not, but the rp starts just as we're all going to battle, so no none of those really plausible.

[Awean8]

ignore this.

[Sickly]

then its best for a flashback

[Awean8]

Okay. That works.

[Sickly]

how many more peeps do we need before this gets off the ground

[Awean8]

Jac is going to post an Imperial Inventor, and I'd like a GOOD rogue to posted sometime, but I guess, we can go without one.

Note: If you know anyone who'd be interested in the roles of either a champion or a rogue, please advertise.

[Sickly]

i guess i can do a rogue if you need one just to get this started but i'll get rid of the rogue if someone else happens to make one

[Awean8]

Well, we don't really NEED a rogue I would just like one, so keep you can keep your inquisitor if you'd like.

[Sickly]

Name: Oxio
Age: 42
Nationality: Empire
Class: Rogue
http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/139/5/0/Anima__Shade_by_Wen_M.jpg

Personality: Jin has no personality. He is completely obedient to whomever he take orders from. He doesn't talk and he cannot empathize with his enemies.
Bio:Once made into sacrifice to the Nine Devils, Oxio was part of a ritual Val had created in order for her to claim more from the Devils. but this had backfired on her and instead of taking his soul they took his personality leaving him an emotionless broken boy. Seeing this not as a failure but rather another opportunity. Val had the boy trained as a Rogue and Assassin. Jin is Val's personal bodyguard and is always near by watching her and protecting her. He is extremely athletic and agile.

[Awean8]

I guess you can use him, but I doubt he counts as a full character.

[Sickly]

that was a horrible pun

[Jacogos]

So VERY sorry about my procrastination... I've had so much shit to deal with this past week, I'm a wreck. I'm literally working on the sheet as we speak and should have it decently presentable within the hour or two.

EDIT: Well, there it is. I have a feeling I might have made him TOO important >.>

[Jacogos]

Name: Orian Lóng Wake
Age: 32 years
Nationality: Empire
Class: Inventor
Appearance: http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110322135103/thethreekingdoms/images/2/23/Jia_Xu_-_DW7.jpg
Personality: Orian is a very off-putting man. He doesn’t enjoy companionship like most people do, instead using his free time to think up cunning strategies for any situation, subtly direct the motives of his mercenary group, and drink tea. He is a man of few words, and is very blunt about percentages of survival and what-not. He’s not above sacrificing a group for the greater good of the Empire’s cause in his strategies, but that doesn’t necessarily make him a man who despises human life. ‘Acceptable losses’ is a common phrase from him. Most of his personality has settled because of mistakes in his family’s past, mistakes that shake him even today.

Bio: Orian grew up in the Imperial Court with his mother, the mistress of a powerful noble. Growing up, he didn’t like to learn and read whenever his mother got the chance to make him, but looking back, he is glad she did. Beyond his studies, though not nearly as frequently, Orian also grew up learning the use of the chained sickle (http://www.gods-inc.de/macavity/IsleOfShadows/weapons/kusarigama.gif), something he enjoyed a lot more growing up but has now grown to dislike as a “necessary evil”. What’s more interesting, though, is his bloodline. Four generations before him (his great-great grandfather on his father’s side), his ancestor made a deal with a Devil to grant him immortality. However, the man didn’t read the fine print, and aged just as any other did until his body was so decrepit that he couldn’t move. He begged the Devil to end it, that he would pay any price to just die. He did pay any price. The curse was that down his familial line, one of his descendents would gain great fame and power, only to have it backlash and send him to an untimely demise, ending his line forever. Orian learned of this curse through his mother, who found out from her mother-in-law. It has haunted him to this day.

When he was eighteen, Orian had had enough of the politics and the like, moving out into the country to live with the cousins of his mother, good respectable people who lived off the land. While he didn’t learn nearly as much anymore, he caught the attention of a nearby mercenary group when he defended his cousin’s farm from bandits by setting a moat of lamp oil on fire around the place. At first, Orian was tentative about joining a lowly group of mercenaries and leaving his cousins undefended, but his cousins assured him that after his ‘magic trick’ no bandit would be fool enough to mess with their farm again. Besides, the mercenaries lived a life of adventure that was hard to come by otherwise. Acquiescing to his cousin’s wishes, Orian joined Joen’s Rouges (They were of a great variety of classes, actually, not just rouges), headed by a legendary, if old, Knight by the name of Joen Hallows. Orian took the place of their previous tactician, who was more suited for battle than strategy anyway, and began to supply the group with strategies for all of their missions.

Time drug on, and in Orian’s twenty-fifth year of life, the war broke out. Many around had heard of the Joen’s Rouges’ amazing tactician and inventor, and the mercenary group had gained unwonted fame because of the quiet man. The Prince’s advisor asked him to consider hiring the mercenaries in order to have such a brilliant mind on their side. The Prince accepted the idea and Orian, along with the Rouges, became part of the Imperial Army.

Seven years have past, and Joen’s Rouges have served the Empire well. Orian’s inventions and strategies have turned of many a helpless battle for the Empire, but it’s still not enough. As far as inventions go, Orian’s fire-bombs are legendary, loaded into tanks or thrown by hand with devastating results. His own tank far outstrips most conventional Inventors’ tanks, and other inventions, like his quick-rust powder, have also gained fame, or for the Colonies, infamy. However, things quickly changed during a pivotal battle when Joen was killed. He left the Rouges under the command of Orian who, remembering his family’s curse, was quick to try and step down from the leadership position. The mercenaries wouldn’t hear of it, as it was a command from the man himself, and it mocked his death by refusing the position. Defeated, Orian began to lead the mercenaries. The Prince now sends them to the Gray Plains, in hopes to stop the Colonial Army once and for all.

[Awean8]

Okay. Accepted. Your character reminds me of a Dynasty Warriors character. lol

We'll be getting started soon. I'll post the IC as soon as I'm done eating and whatnot. In the meantime think of some situations that you'd think might fit in with mine, just remember that if you command any soldiers they will in the end all die.

[Awean8]

Here's the IC! Now get to reading and stuff.

[RisingPhoenix]

Alright I will post after my final tomorrow

[Awean8]

Cool. Since my post is done from Tristan's point of view try to fill in the parts of the battle that he wouldn't have seen, especially during the time that Tristan is knocked out.

[Jacogos]

Okay. Accepted. Your character reminds me of a Dynasty Warriors character. lol

Well the Appearance pic IS a Dynasty Warrior xD That and his weapon are the only thing I pulled from him though

[Sickly]

im going to drop my rogue character i simply can't see Val trusting anyone with her life

[Jacogos]

Bah, I ALMOST had a post up during school.... I shoulda posted what I had and came back but nope >.<

[Sickly]

im going wait and let someone post before i do
have to figure out an explanation for Val to be involved with this battle

[Awean8]

Try to get your posts up as soon as possible, and in the meantime I'll be plotting..:D

I've also decided to change it from an absolute everyone is dead but us to having some others flee but getting lost in the cold wilderness on their own.

[sevendeadlysins]

I'll begin on my post after I'm done with some homework.

[Damonique]

Ugh, I've been putting off posting, as much of my time is going into prepping for an MTG tournament tomarrow morning(New Phyrexia Launch Party).

[Sickly]

Try to get your posts up as soon as possible, and in the meantime I'll be plotting..:D

I've also decided to change it from an absolute everyone is dead but us to having some others flee but getting lost in the cold wilderness on their own.

i think i'd rather get captured by the colonials

[Awean8]

Yeah, but that won't work with everyone else's posts.

[Awean8]

Woah! Jac that was awesome! At first I was kind of skeptical about letting you use a tank, but man that was brilliant! :D
I like how you tied it in with the explosion that hit Tristan. lol

[sevendeadlysins]

Ehh, I don't really like how I wrote it...

But, meh, it's a post.

[Awean8]

Alright. Good enough. His spell went bad and teleported him on top of a nearby mountain. Logical enough. I think?

Who wants to go next?

[Jacogos]

I happened to like Seven's post more than mine xD I can't solidify details like you guys lol. I go with action and reaction and call it a day lol

[Awean8]

Great post Atrum! It would be cool if he lead a squad that was in Tristan's platoon, since it seems as if they're both in the same area.

Or...maybe you could be part of the Prince's platoon, but these of coarse are just ideas for the future.

[Jacogos]

I like how people like to blow up, go unconscious and wake up later, unlike Orian, who sticks it out battling by his beloved Leviathan :P

Of course, that may cause some problems later. You know, blood loss and all xD

[Awean8]

lol I've noticed that. Don't worry we'll all be given the chance to bandage up in the morning before we have our awkward meet up.

[Sickly]

posting soon
i'll show you how to fight like nobility

[Awean8]

Ha! XD

[Atrum Daemon]

Would that be anything like not fighting at all and letting everyone under you do the work, then become a complete coward when faced with an actual opponent?

[Awean8]

No, not at all. Your leadership skills could be anything you want it to be.

[Atrum Daemon]

I was attempting a joke, awean.

[Awean8]

Oh haha! Now I get it!
Sorry, I'm a bit distracted by my new t.v. XD

[Awean8]

I like the Smashing Pumpkins reference at the beginning of your post hehehe.
So far I'm enjoying the diverse characters that we have here.

[Sickly]

Would that be anything like not fighting at all and letting everyone under you do the work, then become a complete coward when faced with an actual opponent?

posted btw
and your close
Val does kill a few people though its not like she was fighting for her life.

[Awean8]

We're just waiting for Damon, who isn't online at the moment. -sigh-

[Sickly]

i wanna kill the witch
is that possible?
i also wanna screw around with the nine devils

[Awean8]

No, you can't kill the Witch. She'll be important later.

and funny you ask. The Nine Devils will be more tied into the plot later on, if we get that far of coarse.

[sevendeadlysins]

hey, is it cool if isaac is like magically gifted and sensitive, and he never knew? And like his gift, because he'd never known about it and wasn't able to learn how to control it, activates itself only when his life is in danger. I'll figure out why exactly he's like this later, I just want to ask if it's okay and if it won't be considered overpowered.

[Awean8]

Yeah, I don't really mind. It'll make for an interesting sub-plot later.

[Sickly]

speaking of sub-plots i wanna see if i can gain a new soul after losing mine to the devils
perhaps even the soul of a daemon....

[Awean8]

I don't think Daemons really have souls to give.....you could just gain back the soul you lost.

[Sickly]

nooo Val's old soul was stupid she doesn't want it back
she wants something new

[Awean8]

Well, I don't know we'll think of something later.

[Jacogos]

...
Do I get to keep muh tank???? :D

[Awean8]

Probably not, especially since you have no one to man it anymore. XD

but once we get to a town you can invent other shit for your guy.

[Jacogos]

Son-of-a!! That's going to be a very emotional parting, mind you. Well, as emotional as Orian can get, ya know.

You know: "Guys, I'm gonna need a moment alone... with the tank... Goodbye, baby..." xD

[Awean8]

Lol. Maybe if we siege a castle later I'll let you build an even bigger tank. XD

[Jacogos]

ZOMG THAT WOULD BE AWESOMESAUCE :D lolz

It would make Orian a very happy man lol

[Awean8]

Does anyone think we need more people?

[Jacogos]

Ehhh, one more Colonial would even the field, a Champion, ya know. But its not NEEDED.

[Sickly]

yes moar MOAR

[Awean8]

I was thinking of posting a recruitment thread. Good idea?

[Jacogos]

Yes.

[Awean8]

Aight. I'll get it up, but you guys gotta help me keep it bumped.

[Sickly]

thats a good idea

[Awean8]

Here it is.

http://role-player.net/forum/showthread.php?t=15107

[RisingPhoenix]

I will have a post up In a few moments. Gotta get on my laptop

[Awean8]

Alright. Can't wait. :)

[Sickly]

that tank is awesome

[Awean8]

Yeah, I know. I'm going to make that we get the chance to bring it back later.

[RisingPhoenix]

Gosh, these posts are long as hell...........

[Awean8]

Sorry, they'll probably get shorter once our character actually get the chance to chat with each other. lol XD

[Awean8]

Ummm.....RisingPhoenix....your character is just a little overpowered, but the part with Akira's brother was awesome! I almost cried! XD

[RisingPhoenix]

well it is done..........

Do I need to edit? If so I can and will, which part do you wish for me to edit? And I had to put something in that post that would give him some type of push to tip him over the edge or something equally devistating....

[Awean8]

Mostly the part with the lightning. Remember, Akira may be adept at magic but he's not a god. He can't just cause the death of twenty trained soldiers with a wisp of his fingers.

For example: Tristan is actually a talented swordsman, but in my post it only specifically says that he's killed about three guys although it implies that he's killed more. In close quarter combat a single opponent should prove relatively challenging.

Sorry, I know it gets pretty weird when it's a fantasy and we're talking about magic, but I'd like to keep the combat relatively realistic as to make it as if any one of our character's aren't too powerful.

[RisingPhoenix]

Alright, I'll get to editing it immediately.....I thought the lightning would have been a bit much but I just wanted to make an explosive entry.....:D

[sevendeadlysins]

explosive entry

Zing.

[Awean8]

lolz XD
It's all cool. I'll probably post either tomorrow or the next day, just in case Damon gets the chance to post, and anyone else who would be interested in joining.

[sevendeadlysins]

Looking at all of these posts, my character feels really underpowered.

But I guess that fits him, every group needs at least one novice, that'll be me. ^_^

[RisingPhoenix]

Alright, I edited my post, let me know if anything else needs to be edited.

@Seven: It does fit your character very nicely being he's probably the youngest member of the Colonial Army.... I look forward to Akira and Isaac meeting eventually....

[Sickly]

my character can do all those things without magic i think i've killed more ppl than all of you combined......

[Awean8]

Ok. Great! Now we wait.

I don't think Damon will be able to post anytime soon, so now we're down to four imperials and two colonials. XD

If you know anyone who would be interested in this sort of role-play I suggest you bring them in, or it'll be awkward. Although, it probably doesn't matter, and we probably have enough.

[Awean8]

my character can do all those things without magic i think i've killed more ppl than all of you combined......

Yeah, but most of those people were half-dead, and Imperials. :p

[RisingPhoenix]

my character can do all those things without magic i think i've killed more ppl than all of you combined......

Well she's an army all by herself then isn't she?

[Sickly]

Yeah, but most of those people were half-dead, and Imperials. :p

AND colonials too i killed some of them too

say if i were to make friends with one of the player's characters and their back was turned and i said in my next post that i made a quick thrust of my rapier into their back do they get to dodge it or do i get that kill?

[sevendeadlysins]

my character can do all those things without magic i think i've killed more ppl than all of you combined......

Just throwing in a response to your post because everyone else is doing it...

[RisingPhoenix]

The Colonial's lack of members make up for their immense power.....

I mean there are indeed 4 Imperials and 3 Colonials.........

It is fine the way it is, but one more Colonial never hurt.....I may create another if no one fills the position of a Colonial Rogue.....

[sevendeadlysins]

AND colonials too i killed some of them too

say if i were to make friends with one of the player's characters and their back was turned and i said in my next post that i made a quick thrust of my rapier into their back do they get to dodge it or do i get that kill?

I think that would be considered an auto hit.

[Sickly]

anyone wanna be friends?

[Awean8]

No killing other player characters. Bad Maria. Bad. :p

and as for her super God-like skill with the rapier, just don't do it when we form a party. I only let it go that one time because her unique cruelty amused me. Val is the only evil one in the group! WE NEED HER! XD

and Phoenix, the Colonies aren't necessarily more powerful. Both sides are pretty equal actually. I'd rather you not make another character. Let's keep it to one for each player shall we?

[Sickly]

@Awean
is she evil?

[Awean8]

Lol. I don't really know. That's just the vibe that comes off her.
She's evil in comparison to Tristan, whose basically a saint.

but it doesn't really matter. I love the diversity.

[RisingPhoenix]

as do I....

[ｒａｂｂｉｔ]

HEY LOOK, IT'S MEEEE~! -Throws glitter.-

...


Mkay, so, just finished reading the OOC.
I'll edit my CS into this post once I've finished it.
Here's my CS:


vvvvvvv vvvvvvv vvvvvvv

Claudia Guniven, 18
Colonies, Rogue

http://i52.tinypic.com/2wp8oz9.jpg
Claudia is the type of young woman that is perpetually trying to figure herself out. Is she a thief because she needs to be or does she enjoy it? Did she give the bread to the children because they needed it or because the guards were around the corner and she didn't want to be caught with it? Claudia finds herself doing as much right as she can, in her situation, but whether it's because she wants to seem like a better person and actually is a good person is a topic of debate among anyone who has met her.

Born into poverty, Claudia began her career in thievery at a young age and by her early teens was quite infamous in her area, but always just out of reach of the hands of justice. She lived where she could, by whatever means were available, and that often meant alone - she wouldn't take away from what little money her parents had, as they often didn't have enough money to feed themselves. By her early teens, they were hardly her parents anymore.
As chaos and unrest gripped the Ishtarian Empire tighter, it became more and more difficult for Claudia to get by and one afternoon she slipped - she took a risk and lost and the outstretched fingers of the law finally clamped like steel around her ankle, dragging her down.
"Serve for the Colonial Army or die here and now, theif," the guard had glared down at her, point of his sword at her gullet. True to her survival nature, she agreed to serve and now finds herself amidst warriors.

[sevendeadlysins]

Ah! Yay! Glitter! =D

[Stryker]

Awww, Jac. You went and found an awesome RP and never told me!

Bad, Jaco! Bad!

[Awean8]

Omg! We have new people!

Katie your character is accepted. I'm going to bed now, so I'll talk to guys later.

[ｒａｂｂｉｔ]

Lol, thanks. ;D Nini! I'm going to bed, too! Shit, I gotta get up in six hours... -Cries.-

[Stryker]

I'll have something up tomorrow.

[Kris]

I think I'm gonna give this one a chance. I hope I'll have time to read it all up.

[RisingPhoenix]

If needed, I can reread over the IC posts and do a quick summary of all that has happened if that will help anyone.......Just say the word and I can get to work on it....

[Sickly]

yeah that would help

[Jacogos]

Awww, Jac. You went and found an awesome RP and never told me!

Bad, Jaco! Bad!

-smoke bomb!!-

-is gone-

[RisingPhoenix]

SUMMARY 1

Tristan and the Imperial Army enters into battle against the Witch and the Colonial Army. He is searching for his cousin, the Prince, and fights his way to him only to find that his cousin is speaking in riddles and is slowly dying. Tristan, being exhausted from battle, closes his eyes and slumbers while his cousin closes his eyes never to open them again.

Orian enters into the fray of battle with his behemoth tank creations and starts devastating the Colonial Army. He orders Rogues to fire a barrage of arrows at the Colonials while Orian fires a deadly bomb of fire from the tank which careens towards the Colonials. Eventually, Colonials break the line of the Imperial Army and began to approach the tanks. Orian exits his tank and begins to fight off Colonials with every ounce of energy he has.

The fire bomb that the Leviathan fired shot directly towards Isaac who is a novice mage and is attempting to do his best in helping the Colonials win this war. He panics and activates innate magic that transport him while Akira deflects the rather destructive ball of fire and in turn uses hell fire to destroy two of the tanks sending shrapnel to impale those around the tanks. He had entered the battle moments before, doing all he could to help the Colonials win the war. He is eventually wounded and finds a tree to sit under and pass out from blood loss.....

Val is sadistic and is killing both Colonials and Imperials alike. Eventually, Val forgets her train of thought and calls for a retreat of the Imperial forces..... Garret was fighting valiantly, slicing Colonials here and there. There is supposedly a cut scene that ends up with everyone awakening to find the battlefield a graveyard. Akira awakes and looks around for any survivors, but when he stumbles upon his brother, his emotions break and he breaks down while holding his now deceased brother.... Isaac finds himself in a snowy mountain area as he looks and sees smoke rising from the battlefield. Garret finds himself on his back in dirt as he looks around and sees the numerous dead among him.

I think that is it, if I missed anything let me know and simply post the missing pieces, lol..... This concludes SUMMARY 1, tune in for our next installment SUMMARY 2 due in the future.....

[Awean8]

Huh? We seemed to have accomplished alot in only one round of posts. lol

[sevendeadlysins]

Well that one round of posts also makes out to be about the equivelant of a chapter in a novel. =P

[Awean8]

I think I'll update the OP with a journal section which will basically summarize what goes on by date.

[sevendeadlysins]

Good idea, will come in handy later when a lot of events start to unfold.

[Kris]

I think I'll update the OP with a journal section which will basically summarize what goes on by date.

Sounds like cool idea ;)

But I'll read it all anyway.

And yeah, I'm in :)

[Awean8]

Yay!

and just so everyone knows before hand. The journal entries will be from the point of view of the Witch. It should shake things up a little.

[Stryker]

Name: Mace Windsor

Age: 31

Nationality: Colonies

Class: Champion

Appearance: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qt1m6Bfeyjc/SQcSXafsoFI/AAAAAAAAAcc/ef4_q2QbfQg/s400/Zhao_Yun6.jpg


Personality: Mace is a very dedicated man when it comes to fulfilling his duties and tasks given to him by those he considers his superiors. He usually stops at nothing to fulfill a duty, whether it means to cut someone down to save 40 lives or cut down 40 to save one life. When amongst his peers he had garnered the reputation of being jovial and very friendly, almost to a fault when no task was given. His lax attitude had in truth gained him favor amongst the Colonials, but it had also rubbed some the wrong way, thinking he were lazy and aloof. The only way he knew and cared to prove those wrong was to showcase his skills and abilities on the battlefield…

Bio: Growing up was hard for Mace, both of his parents were brutally murdered during a late night bandit raid on the small village. Afterwards, his grandparents had cared for him and raised him as if they were his real parents. Truth be told, when his parents were killed he was only four years old, so he had no clue as to what they looked like or what kind of people they actually were. As far as he knew, his grandparents were his real parents.

They had raised him to always do his duties first before anything else and to never put things off to take part in extra-curricular activities. Duties came first and then you reap the benefits of them and the free time that came afterwards. At times he hated the thought of giving up spare time that he could've spent being a little child and playing with friends, but over time he learned that while he would have less fun, things would be done and the satisfaction of completing things upon them needing to be done almost completely made up for it.

At the age of 19, his grandparents died of old age. They went peacefully and happy, knowing that they left him in a good position and well off. What they didn't know was that he had bigger plans for himself. He wanted to take all that he was taught and had learned and make a bigger difference...

Since joining the military, Mace had garnered a reputation as someone who would laugh and joke with you in the tavern and do whatever it took to complete a task. Sometimes rash decisions would derail him, but in the end the job got taken care of. His attitude and dedication had indeed won him favor amongst most, but like always, not everyone sees things in the same light...

[Awean8]

Great! Accepted!

[Stryker]

Awesome, great to be a part of the team.

[Awean8]

Read up and post your involvement in the intro battle.

[Sickly]

MACE WINDU!!!
the colonies will fall

[Awean8]

Wow, I just got that joke. XD

[Stryker]

...Wow, I didn't even realize that. O.o

[ｒａｂｂｉｔ]

o.O

[Awean8]

so who wants to go next?

[Sickly]

i think i might

[Awean8]

No, you can't. You've already went.

Either Stryker or Katie.

[Jacogos]

:O YOU USED ZHOU YUN??? You fool! @Stryker

[Stryker]

no no no, that's where you're wrong!

I used Zhao Yun. Biiiig difference.

And I'll go next.

[Jacogos]

Ahh, yes... I always get that wrong... lol

Once again, I am the only one who remained conscious through the fight... err... minus Maria, who wasn't anywhere NEAR the fight xD

[Awean8]

I love the part where Mace just pops his shoulder back in place. It's just really amusing picturing that in my head.

[sevendeadlysins]

Ahh, yes... I always get that wrong... lol

Once again, I am the only one who remained conscious through the fight... err... minus Maria, who wasn't anywhere NEAR the fight xD

That's where you're wrong again, jacogos, Isaac was concious through the whole fight too, he just wasn't there.

[Jacogos]

Hrmm... *re-reads*... apparently I mistook his inaction for blacking out. Interesting. Oh well. I still say I have more originality in actually fighting and staying conscious xD But I digress

[Stryker]

Oh shush you, none of us had their pet tank get demolished either. Lol.

[Jacogos]

Hey, you leave Leviathan out of this! xD

[Stryker]

I strukk ah nerv! XD

[ｒａｂｂｉｔ]

Estrogen? Anyone?

[Awean8]

lawlz. Katie get your post up, in the meantime I gotta go buy some colorful construction paper. :D

[Jacogos]

Awwww, poor Katie is outnumbered xD You're not used to that in HSDM?

[Stryker]

Nope, no estrogen. All hopped up on Mtn. Dew!

[ｒａｂｂｉｔ]

>.o -Kicks Stryker.- Why do you have to get colorful construction paper, Awean?

And, I'm still reading through the IC, got distracted for a little while.

[Jacogos]

Apparently, he must construct something... that must be colorful!

[RisingPhoenix]

I meant to say this earlier, but everyones posts were very well constructed. I really enjoyed reading them. Sorry about your pet tank Jac :D lol........

Glad to have the newcomers on board for this RP...... I look forward to all that will happen in this RP.....

[Jacogos]

T.T Leviathan will be remembered fondly... Though, thankfully, it hasn't been blown up! ... yet!
(The logic there is that if Leviathan blows up, that pretty much ends Orian quite early (since he's standing right next to it), and that would be bad. So... it was the OTHER tanks that blew up O.o you know, Tank #3 and #5)

[RisingPhoenix]

*raises hand eagerly*

Can Akira blow it up after Orian moves a safe distance away? He has to let out his pent up anger having just lost his only family........

[ｒａｂｂｉｔ]

I'm probably almost close to done with my post, and for anyone who doesn't quite get the "light, but thin and strong armor" she's wearing, think of the armor Kate makes for William in A Knight's Tale.

[Sickly]

*raises hand eagerly*

Can Akira blow it up after Orian moves a safe distance away? He has to let out his pent up anger having just lost his only family........

i find the best way to relieve stress is to find something soft, cuddly, cute.....and MURDER it.

[ｒａｂｂｉｔ]

Mkay, Tumblr is officially the ultimate procrastination device. BACK TO WRITING. -Rolls up her sleeves.-

[Awean8]

XD Once again someone has gotten knocked out. It's like a running joke now.

Other than that excellent post Katie. It's exactly how I wanted the rogue to be like in battle.

[Jacogos]

VERY excellent post, Katie. Jaco like ^.^ Anyhoo...


*raises hand eagerly*

Can Akira blow it up after Orian moves a safe distance away? He has to let out his pent up anger having just lost his only family........

NYYYYYUUUUUU!!!!! He will go apeshit on yo' ass!!

[Sickly]

that sounds wrong

[Stryker]

Well that's par for the course when it comes to Jaco.

[ｒａｂｂｉｔ]

Well, I couldn't imagine poor Claudia taking out the last of the fighters, so down she weent~

[Awean8]

Well, I seem to remember Kris wanting to join so let's give her some time if she's still interested.

Meanwhile I'll be working the post of Tristan waking up in the morning. Second round here we come! :D

[Stryker]

I wonder who'll be the first character to bite the big one... Hmmmm.

[Awean8]

To die? Hmmm.....who would like to volunteer? XD

[Stryker]

I think I remember Jaco saying something about wanting to go down with his tank.

>.>;

[ｒａｂｂｉｔ]

Rotflmao! Yes, like a captain going down with his ship!

[Awean8]

Woah! Hold on cowboys it's way too early for anyone to start dying. We haven't even left the first area yet.

[Kris]

Okay I've caught with most of the posts.

Gotta say it looks great so far.

Profile will be up soonish

[Sickly]

Okay I've caught with most of the posts.

Gotta say it looks great so far.

Profile will be up soonish
yay then its one more person i get to plan to murder

[Awean8]

Yay!

Maria, like I've said before. YOU DON'T GET TO MURDER PLAYER CHARACTERS OR NPC'S!

[Sickly]

but I'm EVIL you can't be EVIL unless there's MURDER involved.
Can I at least TORTURE people?

[Awean8]

Yes. You can be mean to the other players, and you can torture our enemies whenever you want.

[Sickly]

whats the point of an action fantasy RP if there's no killing things?

[Kris]

>.>

[Awean8]

I'm going to say this again you can kill ENEMIES.

[ｒａｂｂｉｔ]

>.>; Anywhooo~

[Awean8]

While we wait everyone should think about what type of relationships you'll make with the other characters whenever they all get forced to party up in order to survive.

Sure, it'll be extremely awkward at first, but after a few (rp) days of trudging through the unforgiving frozen wilderness together they'll have to form some sort of opinions on each other. ;D

[ｒａｂｂｉｔ]

Well, Claudia took off her chest plate and helmet, and the tunic (white) and pants (black) are literally blood-soaked, so it isn't very clear which side she was on. The tunic kind of drenches her form and her chest is still bound with bandages, so she still looks a bit like a boy. Just in case anyone plans on seeing her, et cetera.

[Sickly]

I'm going to say this again you can kill ENEMIES.

ENEMIES? hmmm i think I can find a loop hole in there somewhere

[Awean8]

Oh god, as long as you don't upset the plot, and the owner of the character I guess I don't really care.

[RisingPhoenix]

You all are a hilarious cast of characters of which I wouldn't trade. I think Akira and Isaac will probably form a brotherly bond and perhaps Akira will look at Tristan with merciful eyes. Other than that a bit of drama between Dorian and Akita should be fun. With Akira blowing up his precious tank and all lol

[ｒａｂｂｉｔ]

*Akira

>_>;

[Awean8]

Hmmm? Why would feel that way towards Tristan?

[Sickly]

ever seen the Internet comic "Looking for group"?
Val is the female counterpart to Richard

[Jacogos]

I shall be the loner ^.^

I hope you don't mind I use an existent char of mine for this RP (with slight changes)

Name: Alexis Ebenezer

Age: 28

Nationality: Empire

Class: Knight

Appearance: http://i55.tinypic.com/aw5law.jpg

Personality:
She is rational, caring, loyal, modest and humble. She is wise, witty and creative when it comes to how she needs to do her work. She knows what to say and when to say it, making her a wothy advisor.

In battle she is a whole other person, passionate and lively, letting her body do the talking for her and despite her nice temper she is rather outgoing and daring, yet, she will never make a person feel uncomfortable (Unless she wants to).

Others always comes before her, and she can give her whole if she believes in something.

Bio:
The only daughter of the second highest ranked Earl (Josefus Ebenezer) in the kingdom of Anglicion (the Imperial Capitol) She was spoiled from birth, always bearing in mind that she was very close to royalty and might even marry into the royal family someday.

Her mother (Dhaliana Ebenezer) made sure she won't let those ideas get too much into her head, and taught her to always be humble and kind. Her mother also always encourage her to read and learn, never counting on her social class alone.

Alexis was a strong lady and she always talked about being a knight one day, just like her male friends. Her father didn't want her to take the path of a soldier at first, but the young woman showed that she was talented in terms of battle as well. She soon become a leader by her own skills and power and had her own unit to take care of. She is somewhat rather novice to war, but she trained most of her life for that moment she and her squad would enter one.

Name: Liaman Russvik
Age: 37
Nationality: Empire
Class: Imperial Inquisitor
Appearance: http://i706.photobucket.com/albums/ww63/Cassgo/A%20Game%20of%20Thrones/A%20Game%20of%20Thrones%20HR/game_of_thrones_105_hi-res_still_09_-_768.jpg
http://michaelmay.us/09blog/05/0517_boromir.jpg
Personality: Liaman has a demeanor as cold a the namesake of his blade. Smiles rarely touch his face and laughs are foreign to his lips. Being a veteran of many years, Liaman has grown gravely desensitised to death. He almost welcomes the stink of dead flesh. Even around his own family, he remains stoic, but it is only around his family he ever feels happy.

Bio: Sired by the high born family of Russvik in the city of Byzanthaia, Liaman was treated differently than other children of his stature. Liaman was a bastard child, though the fact was kept tightly guarded within the walls of the Russvik manse. The Rissvik's always played the part of the zealot for the Imperium, donatign gold to line the coffers of the church and even seeing a few of the young men of the Russvik line join the ranks of the Inquisition. Liaman was to follow such a path.

He squired for the Inquisitors at the age of eight, caring for their armor and horses while being trained in the ways of sword and taught in the ways of the church. Discipline was always swift and harsh, and the lash of the church's whips flayed the youthful joy of Liaman at a premature age, turning the boy stoic and coarse at the ripe age of ten. He became a man at the age of twelve, by the seductive coersions of a woman who fleets his memory. That very day, he was to join his master on a Purge of a nearby village.

Liaman was annointed to the rank of Inquisitor and annointed with the Five Oils, the mark of the faith forever branded in to his sword arm; Liaman as ninteen that day. That very year, he wed a nobles daughter, Catalyn. They were happy together, and she was the one constant thing in his life that could make him smile, even after the countless horrors he had seen in his line of duty. Liaman and Catalyn sired five children before a stillborn took the beautiful Catalyn to an eary grave. The physician was dumbfounded at the trajedy, expecting a completely healthy delivery. Sickness was not rampant in the High Born district of the city. Many said that it was the will of the gods that Catalyn be taken, but Liaman refused to settle for the bullshit that was fate. Everything happened because of something or someone.

Sure enough, poison was laced in Catalyn's drinking water. The poision was very distinctive, bearing many herbal extacts from the realm of Shahid. Liaman knew of one person who employed assassins and facilitated such subtle and acute poisons. Liaman's master, High Inquisitor Bran, the very man that Liaman named his first son after, was behind Catalyn's death. Bran said that she was a distraction that needed to be removed. Such fanatical and absurd claims drove Liaman in to a frenzy, and hacked his own master to pieces in a fit of rage. With Bran dead and accused of heresy and treason, Liaman was elevated to he rank of High Inquisitor.

To represent his station, the church had a greatsword forged for Liaman out of the finest steel, folded over a hundred times for peerless durability and craftsmanship. The Russvik direwolf head adorned the pommel, carved in silver. The Russvik family mantra, "Non Dormio" - I Never Rest - was engraved on to the blade. Liaman named the blade Ice. The blade and its wielder are both highly regarded and feared. The Russvik house crest bears a snarling direwolf on the hunt - this has earned Liaman Russvik the nick-name of "Dread-Wolf of the Church".

Liaman Russvik's family:
Catalyn Bashere Russvik - wife - died at 28
Bran Russvik - son - 17
Lara Russvik - daughter - 15
Leman Russvik - son - 11
Valerya Russvik - daughter - 10
Rosalyn Russvik - daughter - 8
