Arion. An ancient world brought into being by a council of god-like spirits. The first creatures to be birthed on the young planet were the Great Dragons. For millions of years, these majestic beings dominated Arion, ruling the sky and ground. However, as the generations went on, changes began to take place. The changes continued until the Great Dragons had become a humanoid race of beings that became known as the Vezier.

The Vezier bore no outward resemblance to their great ancestors, but certain traits were retained, such as fire breath, wings, etc. The Vezier quickly colonized every bit of their continent that could be colonized and called the continent Levis. The Vezier enjoyed a very simple lifestyle of farming, metalworking, and other suck trades. Along with the growing civilization came churches and shrines devoted to the spirits who created Arion. However, the Vezier would soon find that their simple lives would not last.

In the year 480, the Kera, a humanoid race from across the Great Sea, invaded Levis. hey had come seeking new lands to claim for their growing empire. The Vezier could not fight back in time to prevent the Kera from slaying their ruling body and establishing their own rule. Soon, the Kera were in every town and village dotting Levis and were soon building their own cities.

By no means were the Kera harsh in their occupation. They were fair and allowed the Vezier to go on with their lives. The only difference was they were all now citizens of the Kera Empire and could not take up arms. However, the fair eyes of the Kera Governor did not reach everywhere. In the Vezier northern territories, misery was breeding. The Vezier city of Mombas was suffering the most. Watched over by corrupt Kera leaders and soldiers, random beatings and acts of violence became the norm. However, the Vezier are not one’s to take such treatment lying down. The seeds of rebellion were brewing in Mombas.


Vezier: As mentioned above, the Vezier are a humanoid race that evolved from dragons. Vezier males stand at seven feet tall full grown while females only get to six to six and a half feet tall. Vezier skin color varies widely. Some can be shades of red, others shades of green, etc. All Vezier are born with the ability to use elemental magic. The type of element always seems to be based on skin color. However, jet black Vezier, a skin color that is very rare, are born with powerful psychic powers.

Kera: Another humanoid race inhabiting Arion. Kera are as tall as Vezier, but some can be as tall as eight feet and are broader than Vezier, who are typically lean and wiry. All Kera have pupil-less, brightly colored eyes. Their magic is as powerful as Vezier magic, but they add a bit more by being powerful fighters.


The Pilgrims are a group of Vezier scholars, warriors, and magic users who devote their lives to study and exploration of Levis. They are identified by their dark green hooded robes and cloaks.


The Vezier originally armed themselves with swords, axes, and the like. However, the Kera brought over rifles and handguns from their lands across the sea. The rifles were repeating rifles that fired iron balls.

Examples of Kera firearms:
Repeating rifle
Repeating cylinder handgun
Repeating cylinder rifle
Precision rifle (single shot and scoped)
Precision pistol (single shot and scoped)

Archon Sin
http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm213/Daemon_010/Captain2.jpg
His face possesses sharp features and slightly high cheekbones with a natural, slightly gaunt look. At full height he stands at seven feet.
A young male Vezier living in Mombas. Archon Sin, along with his two friends Senesa and Selesna Shadowstrike, possess the very rare jet black skin color. Though only teenagers, the three of them were very bright, with Sin and Selesna possessing psychic powers as opposed the normal elemental powers the Vezier were known for (Sin specifically possessing telekinetic powers). After enduring the harsh treatment the Kera occupiers gave out for four years, the three friends began planning. The Pilgrims, an enigmatic group of Vezier who devote their lives to travel and the study of magic, kept the three under watch mainly because Archon and Selesna were students of the Pilgrims. They planned in secret for months to be rid of the Kera holding their village before contacting several other friends to enact their plan. Though going through with it might mean going on the run from the Kera, the friends are devoted to the cause and willing to sacrifice their lifestyle for the freedom of their people.

Quick-witted, loyal, mildly charismatic, and a bit fiery Sin is willing to die to see his race free.

Selesna Shadowstrike
A tall slim-framed girl (full height of six feet, nine inches) with a slightly heart-shaped face. Regular duties with the Pilgrims and her own personal training keep her body in fit, athletic condition, but still remains feminine enough to be pleasing to the eye. Her face is adorned with soft features and a look of kindness exists deep in her eyes. Like Sin, she wears the green robes of the Pilgrims.
A young female Vezier who grew up with the Pilgrims alongside Archon. Along with her twin sister and Archon, Selesna hopes to do something about the Kera occupiers in their village. A slender youth, she possesses powerful psychic powers in the form of pre and post-cognition and clairvoyance, giving her the makings of a great seer. She and Sin share a very, VERY close relationship. Selesna’s calm, understanding nature makes for a good balance against Archon.

Senesa Shadowstrike
Selesna’s twin sister and a good friend to Archon. Unlike her sister, Senesa was not taught by the Pilgrims, but instead helped her father at his work as a weapon smith. This granted her a stronger frame as opposed to her sister’s more slender one and made them easier to tell apart. She shares her sister’s psychic powers, but not as well developed. Like her sister and best friend, Senesa is willing to give up all to see her people freed from the Kera’s occupation. Strong-willed and brave-hearted, what Senesa lacks in terms of the cleverness her sister and best friend have, she more than makes up for in spiritedness.

Kanewulf
http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm213/Daemon_010/Yeager.png
Full height of seven feet.
Though young, Kanewulf has earned much respect among the Kera occupation force as a squad leader and soldier. The son of a hunter, Kanewulf used the techniques his father taught him in combination with his soldier training to quickly stand out among the Kera Rangers and rise to lead them. Sharp of mind, cunning, and seeming to possess supernatural luck, Kanewulf has been able to overcome odds that seem insurmountable with a squad of only three Rangers. His current assignment is to get a status update from Kera leaders in the far north. Mombas is his first stop.

Before I enter anything in about weapons and such, are the guns are sorta "Wild West" era, or what?

Atrum Daemon
05-07-2010, 07:17 AM
Picture a mix between Wild West and Civil War era with most repeating weapons operating using cylinders much like how revolvers work and lever action being the newest idea for rifles.

Name: Soran Klenis

Race: Kera

Age: 34

Height: 6' 8"

Weight: 260

Magic: None

Appearance: http://villeart.com/temp/Finished/gunslinger.jpg

Personality: Very gruff and hard to be around, he doesn't like how most Vezier are treated, true he thinks they should serve his every whim just as much as any other Kera, but he at least sees most of them as living beings. The most noticeable personality trait is his fondness for fighting, he loves it when a group of bandits or other troublemakers comes into town cause it usually means he gets to shot someone.

History: Soran came to Levias after proving himself back home, to serve as a sort of unofficial law man, when ever someone needs to be "taken care of" and any official involvement might upset the local population a bit too much, Soran is called up. He's spent the last 10 years fighting, arresting and killing people and being payed all the while. He now lives in a middle of nowhere sorta town and everyone has heard the rumors about his work, although most probably wouldn't believe it was him in the stories if he told them himself.

Looks good. Just switch the lettering around so it spells Kera and you'll be all set.

Lord Tully
05-08-2010, 05:25 AM
Sorry about that, I'll be waiting to start.

Atrum Daemon
05-09-2010, 03:53 AM
It's all good. I'm gonna see about recruiting a few more before getting this thing going.

Name: Marga Morao

Race: Kera

Age: 25

Height: 7'2

Weight: 220

Magic: Metal manipulation and healing.

Appearance: http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee91/Gypsy48/Cowgirls/Cowgirl.jpg but with pants.

Personality: Wild and rowdy she's always out and doing something and she doesn't really care for the Vezier as slaves she doesn't even like them she tries to keep as much distance between them as possible. She loves adventure and always up for a good scrap.

History: Born and raised in Levis she's only heard about her homeland in the stories the old timers told. She's longed to see it but has never gotten the chance so as soon as she was old enough she struck out on her own and began a life of adventure exploring Levis from east to west, north to south. She developed her dislike for the Vezier in her travels she hated the way the bowed and scrapped to the Kera like beaten cowards. She could never understand why a race could be so subservient without a fight. She pegs any Vezier she sees as a spineless worm and not worth a moment of her precious time.

Atrum Daemon
05-11-2010, 05:12 PM
Accepted. I'm gonna try to get a couple more people interested before starting.

Lord Tully
05-12-2010, 04:48 PM
How many more people do you want?

Atrum Daemon
05-12-2010, 04:54 PM
I'm hoping for at least one or two more, but if that hasn't happened by friday or saturday (depending on my schedule), I'll be going ahead and starting.

SikstaSlathalin
05-12-2010, 05:09 PM
Could we all just make more chars?

Atrum Daemon
05-12-2010, 05:13 PM
That's one solution, I suppose. I did give the option for people to have three characters. But, at this point I'll have to wait and see what happens since I am about to head off to do things and won't be back until much later.

This looks like a great game. Why not submit it for Roleplay of the Week (http://www.role-player.net/forum/showthread.php?t=905) or put it in the Roleplaying Games Directory (http://www.role-player.net/forum/showthread.php?t=2304) or click here (http://www.role-player.net/forum/showthread.php?t=3975) to help attract players?

I'm going to have my guy come in to sort of investigate and find the people who attacked the Barracks, does that sound cool? Ooh you know I meant to ask, the Vezier’s skin, is it supposed to be scaly or something? You said they were like dragons so I wanted to know, same with their faces, are they suppoesed to look lizard like or human like?

Atrum Daemon
05-16-2010, 02:23 AM
That sounds fine. I was kinda hopin for that.

As to the other thing

Vezier skin isn't necessarily scaly, but it is tougher and has a rougher texture than Kera skin (or human skin for that matter). Facially, they are meant to look human but with generally sharper noses and more defined cheekbones.

Lord Tully
05-16-2010, 02:25 AM
Thanks, my post's up, I just wanted to know if I should visualise them as Argonians or what.

Atrum Daemon
05-16-2010, 04:19 AM
Probably not gonna like this bit, but there are in fact no trains. No form of transport more advanced than the stagecoach exists. Probably shoulda made that clear in the OP. So you might just wanna be in the general area of Mombas or be in the town already.

Lord Tully
05-16-2010, 08:06 PM
Fuck, ok I'll fix it.

Name:
Ayla Mirima

Race:
Vezier

Age:
23

Height:
5'10

Weight:
150

Magic:
Water (including it's forms ice and steam)

Appearance:
http://c1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/139/l_467e68b6f13045bb85f695f7ce9256fc.jpg
Ayla stands just below six feet at 5 feet, ten inches. Her white hair flows down almost to her knees. Her icy blue eyes watch all that's around her. Her skin is covered with tiny transparent scales which reveal her pale white skin underneath (unlike the picture). Extending from her back beautiful white wings exist with a wing span of 8 feet.

Personality:
Ayla tends to be a solemn person. She takes in all the knowledge that she is able to consume. Her spirit is strong and she does not let people push her around. Ayla may even ignore a Kera if she wishes to.

History:
Ayla was born by a dying mother who was taken care of by the Pilgrams. Ayla's mother had a broken leg as she tried to get to safety and yet she failed. Ayla was born on a snowy tundra within a cave during the midst of a snow storm. The Pilgrams took her back to where they could take care of her.

Ayla grew up raised by the Pilgrims. They taught her how to read and write. As she got older she traveled with the Pilgrams learning the lands of Levis. It was safer to be traveling with them then to be placed within reach of the Kera. She was a quiet girl, never running throughout the halls or chasing bright colored balls. Ayla knew her place as an orphaned girl. She was not to cause trouble for any of the Pilgrims. When she became ten years old she was placed under the care of another water Vezier. She was trained in magic and in knowledge that her guide Kalial knew. The weapon she was trained with became the spear. Ayla refused to use the guns that the Vera brought with them.

Ayla has become one of the Pilgrims. She lives with them or travels away from them, exploring on her own...

So I've posted, I'm think that one of the Veizer should maybe bump into Soran on his way out of the HQ.

05-21-2010, 01:32 AM
Ayla didn't exactly bump into him but Ayla did notice Soran.
