Background:
In the land of Nadilan, the races were at peace and lived separately in their own domains. In Ferniar, the Human Kingdom, a new king was succeeding he previous king, his uncle, as he had no heirs of his own. This new king was known as King Garlant, and as soon as he took his place upon the throne, he began to plan on conquest and lead his people in a militaristic tyranny. Organizing his Dragon Riders, he began to oppress and control his people into obeying his rule of merciless greed.

A man named Junon Owens rose up and began a rebellion against King Garlant. He organized the willing of the human race to rise up and oppose their tyrannical leader and presented a force that was capable of standing up to Garlant. However, it was all for naught as Junon was discovered and captured while on a scouting mission near Garlant's castle in the capitol city of Eldorn. He was publicly executed and the rebellion scattered.

King Garlant then proceeded to gather up his forces with an even higher goal in mind: domination over all of Nadilan. He planned to make an alliance with the fiercest of races and monopolized on dragons and their riders as his most powerful weapon. In the meantime, underground, a new secret rebellion was beginning to form. Though small, they were capable of themselves and had hopes to grow and rise up against, and defeat, King Garlant.

Introduction:
Welcome to Nadilan, a world of magic, diversity, and adventure! The following is the basic information about this RP as well as guidelines, rules, and a character sheet template. It's an open world so you can choose whether to be a part of Garlant's Army, the rebellion, or neither! I hope for this to be an active RP with everyone posting at least once every other day. If you go inactive, please PM me ahead of time or your character will be left behind. Literacy is a must and posts should at least be readable (spelling, paragraphs dividing dialogue, etc). Minor npcs, family members, and towns can be made and used at your discretion, but I will be playing all major NPCs which include world leaders, King Garlant's generals/army, and whatever others that might appear.

Races and Classes:
Human: The most basic of people, but have the most desire for success and wealth. They are intuitive, inventive, and skilled in combat. They reside in the kingdom of Ferniar.

Dwarf: Short and stalky, but powerful and fierce with an adapt skill to mining and forging weapons. Currently the dwarves provide weapons and armor to all kingdoms as their main export. They reside in Ironmore.

Elf: High and proud, the elves are a noble race with peaceful intentions. They prefer to live separate from other races and are akin to nature. They are skilled in healing magic as well as archery and reside in the kingdom of Lillias.

Faerie: These small creatures, usually found with wings or mistaken for bugs at a distance, are fanciful and carefree, spread out in the forests of Shinallia. They have great skill with magicks and tend to be little tricksters.

Darune (Dark Elf): Similar to elves, but commonly found with dark bluish skin. They are more cunning and adventurous than a regular elf and are skilled at stealth and mercenary combat. They live high in the Darunmire Peninsula and prefer to look down on other races.

Orc: The orcs love to hoard goods, fight ferociously, and prefer violence over reason, which leads to battles even among their own kind. The Orcs dwell in the southern Jerthakk Isles, but the kingdom's name changes every time they get a new leader (which can be often).

Animal: The race of the animal variety contains many cross-breeds of half-human creatures including feline, reptilian, dogs, and more. This race has no specific province, but instead lives through Nadilan minding their own business. However, many are skilled thieves and pirates using their innate animal instincts to their advantage.

Dragon*: Dragons are a winged and noble race of tremendous power who dwell in the Dragon's Keep, high in the mountains near Eldon. They come in all kinds of varieties and have unique powers. They are strong on their own, but are sworn to any person who may save their life or survive the three trials. They can form a life-pact with any members of the other races. Dragons also have the ability temporarily give up their powers and shape shift into human form.

*If interested in being a dragon, please read all the information under the "Dragons" section of this post.

Warrior: Skilled at fighting and defense. This class is powerful, quick thinking in combat and versatile with many weapons.

Medic: This class makes its priority healing and treating the wounds of others. Skilled and always handy with medical supplies, it is an asset to take with any adventurer.

Knight: Trained in the art of swords, this class is chivalrous and helpful, as well as dangerous in their skill of combat.

Thief: Conniving and often hidden in the shadows, thieves make their wage in stealing other's goods and focusing on their own selves. They are quick and dastardly willing to do anything for an easy prize.

Mage: Knowing their connection with the elements, Mages primarily use their power in the many magicks of the world. They are extremely skilled in the ways of magic and manipulating the elements.

Hunter: Skilled with archery and other tools of the hunt, Hunters are great long distance fighters and very quick on their feet. They can track animals with ease and know the land better than most.

Dragon Rider*: A Dragon Rider is a person who has successfully passed the three trials and formed a pact with a dragon. They are partners with their noble creature and share a lifeline with them.

Occupations: If you would rather take on a more humble lifestyle, you can choose an occupation. This can include baker, smith, bard, pirate, or whatever! You can always combine classes with occupations.

Other: Did I miss one you'd rather have? Make up your own class or occupation. Just make sure to describe it!

Character Race:
Alignment: (Good, evil, neutral, or a combination?)
Role: Do you plan on being a freelance dragon rider, or work for Garlant's army? Garlant has monopolized on dragon's and their riders, so the latter is more likely, but I'm always up for a good traitor to the king scenario if you'd rather be a good guy.
Why your character should be a dragon rider or dragon:

If you are accepted as a Dragon Rider, Vestige Warrior will choose whether you start out with your dragon, or if you will need to obtain your dragon during the rp. If you are not accepted, you can try to obtain a dragon during the rp, if your character is ready for it (do not god-mod for this!) Obtaining a dragon involves the passing of three trials, of which you will need to collaborate with Vestige Warrior about.
Rules:
- No god-modding
- No excessive amounts or descriptions of sexual acts, violence, and swearing.
- The GM's word is law (this includes co-GMs)

Name: Rose Ellinor
Age: 21
Race: Human
Class/Occupation: Tactician, Seamstress, Leader of the Rebel Army
Alignment: Good
Appearance: 5' 5" with long, wavy red hair that reaches down to the waste. Deep brown eyes and fair, clean skin. Wears leather armor with a red, long sleeve under garb with black pants and brown string tied boots to her knees. Rose has a long sword attached to the left side of her belt.
http://i45.tinypic.com/5ufkth.jpg
Background: Rose was a simple seamstress before King Garlant took his position as king. When the rebellion began to start, Junon recruited her for her skills to make clothes, armor, and uniforms. Soon, they feel in love and Rose became a skilled tactician. When Junon was executed, Rose went into a deep depression. With Junon's sword at her side, Rose decided to build up the rebellion again in his honor and face against King Garlant.
Personality: Rose is very kind, but is serious when it comes to the war. She is usually calm in dire situations, but can panic if she can't think of any ideas on how to solve problems. She is usually very quiet and somber and prefers to stay alone. Really quiets down when the topic of Junon comes up. She is very strong willed and determined to put the world at peace.
Skills: Sewing, persuasion, leadership.
Other (optional): Even though Rose has a sword, she doesn't know how to use it. She is currently training, but currently avoids combat until she is more proficient with a sword. She also really likes cats.
Name: Aldus the white
Age: Unknown
Race: Human
Class/Occupation*: Arch-mage of the ring of 11
Alignment: Good
Appearance: Always wears a white cloaked hood wherever he goes. As a gray leather stripe tied around his face right over the eyes. Uses a long curving sorcerer like walking stick that he likes to keep with him. He stands about 6ft tall even though for his age, which seem like he is in his late 70s. He would be a bit shorter, he does not wear shoes. He also carries with his in a small black leather pouch, an eye piece that seem to be missing from the left side of a helmet. This helmet face piece is made out of pure gold and considered valuable. Which comes with a mysterious power and an unknown human entity trapped within it. The piece is called the left face plate of insanity.
Background: Aldus had always wanted to be a good mage, bringing peace to the land and for everyone that resided in it's boundaries. When he got older, Aldus came across a mysterious old man who saw that he was capable of great things. The old man took Aldus under his wing and taught him the arts of the elements. When he got better, he learned how to use summoning spells.

As soon as Aldus was granted the final rank of Arch-mage status from his mentor when he was in his late 40s. the old man took him to meet the Arh-mage's ring of 11. A group of all powerful good wizards that guarded an ancient artifact known as the armor of Arthantanous. Aldus was to be next in line to carry a piece of the armor, which happened to be the left face piece of the gold armor's helmet.

After the Arch-mages initiated him into the ring of 11. He was given the piece of the helmet.

But what he did not know was the curse that came with it. The moment he touched the piece of the broken helmet. His mentor slow disintegrates before him during the initiation.

The remaining 10 Arch-mages go on to tell him that he has been given the burden to protect the piece of 11 he has been given from whomever seeks to collect it. Making him the new 11th Arch-mage.

Since then, for many the centuries that have gone by. Aldus has walked the lands as an all powerful mage that seeks to bring about peace, but at a cost of his mortality. He wishes to find newest possible soul that can be capable of carrying out his task that he has been doing so for a very long time.
Personality: A kind, soft spoken old man, with only wisdom of words that can be the best advise for anyone that wishes to ask him a question. He helps who ever is in dire need of assistance from the forces of darkness that resided within those that have already lost their way. If threaten, he can only simply laugh and tell his enemies that they are not wishing fight him. They however, most of the time find this out the hard way. At some point, Aldus went blind and now uses his powers to project through his blind eyes, what he likes to call “Magical vision”. By using his bare feet to touch earth, which sends back outlines of things, with the outlines going through objects, animals, and people; seeing their features and their thoughts if they have any.
Skills: Master of the elements of wind, water, ice, earth, fire, lightning, and thunder. He knows all summoning spells, and dark arts spells, along with tele-portation powers that he uses to help him get around fast.

"My enemies are not demons, but people like myself. I do not wish them personal harm, nor do I rejoice in victory. How could I rejoice in victory, and delight in the slaughter of men? I enter a battle gravely, with sorrow and great compassion, as if I were attending a funeral..."

~~~~~Johnathan Royce G. Whoreson~~~~~
Name: Johnathan Royce G. Whoreson
Age: 28
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Class/Occupation: Mercenary

Appearance:
http://i1231.photobucket.com/albums/ee518/ThatBlueDude/__leader_armor_concept___by_eventrue-d5h1b9d_zpse8928114.jpg
Height: 5'11”
Weight: 76.36Kg (168lbs)
Hair Color: Naturally brown, dyed darker, though not quite black.
Eye Color: Black
Muscle Build: Swordsman Build – Heavy on the arms, with a splashing of legs and core for good measure.

Weapons: Johnathan takes great pleasure in the irony of carrying a Bastard Sword, which he has so lovingly called Whoresbane.
Skills: Johnathan prides himself on his skill at arms, though he knows he is far from the best, he has yet to meet anyone who fights nearly half as dirty as he does. Nothing is below him, as long as it wins the fight.

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Personality: Johnathan is a callous, bitingly sarcastic, abrasive individual who cares nothing for anyone and at times not even himself. He's reckless brash and barefaced, he'll speak his opinion whether you want it heard or not, he simply doesn't give a damn. He's your run on the mill mercenary all he cares about is lining his pockets with gold, and will sell his sword to the highest bitter.

That's what he appears on the outside at least, it's his way of shielding himself from the world, to disconnect from it, to make sure it can no longer cause him pain. Underneath it all, he's someone who is conflicted with his beliefs. On one hand he loves money, fighting, and loves that he can combine the too. Yet he resents all the same, knowing that this life is the best he's ever going to make it. His below base birth will never allow him to rise any higher then he currently is, and sooner or later, every mercenary finds his way to a grave before his time. You can either be rich and dead, or alive and poor, rarely is there any gray area for mercenaries. Johnathan isn't without friends, so he's not desperate in that regard, though he does wish his friends weren't Mercenaries such as himself, as rough around the edges as he himself is.

Yet he can't change who he is, he knows he has little to no hope of rising any higher, and he's coming to accept that as he grows older. He'll count himself lucky if he sees the age of 30 most Mercenaries never see 40. He'll continue to sell his sword, and hope that one day, he can say he was part of a great cause.
Background: Johnathan, as his last name suggests, was born the son of a whore. Though his mother likes to claim that he has the blood of a Nobleman in him, which though plausible, is quite doubtable and nearly impossible to prove. He grew up on the streets of one Ferniar's larger merchant cities, far from the Capitol. At first they tried to make him a whores boy, for more *ahem* special clients, but that soon proved to be a misinformed choice when he gelded the first patron who tried to touch him. He was cast out of the brothel and forced to flee the area lest he be arrested and imprisoned. From there he was on his own like so many others, forced to meet out whatever living he could on the street. He already knew the story of life on the street, it'd been told time and time again, and living in a brothel gave him no fantasies about how it would be. Eat or be eaten, fight or be beaten or killed, steal or be robbed. Dog eat dog, trust no one, even those you might call friends.

In time as he grew older he found he had a skill with weapons, particularly the old classic, the sword. Perhaps he did have a touch of noble blood in him somewhere. For surely only a nobles blood, imbued with centuries of training could impart the sort of raw, natural talent Johnathan showed himself to posses. It didn't matter to Johnathan though, all he knew is he was good with a sword and that it meant money. He knew it'd be easy, given the state of world with King Garlant trying to conquer it.

He is now currently unemployed, his previous employer, making the mistake of trying to skimp out on the agreed upon amount met and untimely end by Whoresbane.


Elf:
Name:[/B] Camille Lockstorn
Age: 20
Race: Elf
Class/Occupation: Mediocre Hunter/fledgling inventor
Alignment: Currently neutral, though subject to change
Appearance: Camille is shorter than your average Elf, standing at about 5ft 1. Her slightly wavy, peach colored hair falls to her shoulders and compliments her eyes, which are a light shade of lilac. She has a lithe frame like most other Elves, which coupled with her height makes her appear to be several years younger than she actually is. Her skin, a light brown, is mostly covered by the garish clothing that she wears, curtsey of her minstrel upbringing.

Here’s a reference of her clothing and appearance, if you’d like:
http://i1115.photobucket.com/albums/k558/xCissnei/Camille.jpg]

Background: Camille, having been raised into a small clan of wandering minstrels, learned at a young age how to be entirely dependent upon the land and its bounty. Eccentric in their lifestyle, her clan traveled about Lillias as vagabond entertainers, content in the simple act of spreading joy and excitement wherever they went. For that reason, they hardly accepted money for their services and lived an impoverished though wholesome life. She grew up as a part of the clan’s musical troupe and was taught to play the lyre, though it wasn’t something that she particularly enjoyed to do when forced to perform for others.

Not unaware of the dangers of traveling and the brewing tension across the lands, Camille’s mother, once an able bodied archer, took it upon herself to try to teach her daughter the way of archery in order to offer her some form of protection. Disappointed when she was unable to master the weapon to her satisfaction, Camille instead focused on using small blades and daggers in the hopes that she’d be able to use smaller weapons with ease. Despite her best efforts, she was unfortunately horrible at wielding both a bow and a blade, much to her embarrassment. In her free time, while not busy entertaining or training with her mother, she would spend hours reading the various old books she acquired during her travels.

Around the age of seventeen, Camille began to question her true purpose in the world. Growing tired of her clansmen’s flagrant disregard towards Elven tradition and their hectic lifestyle, she estranged herself from her roots, albeit it with a tinge of remorse and sought out her own way of life. Still every bit the vagabond she had been since birth, she spent six months traveling across the treacherous plains and mountains towards Ironmore where she eventually stumbled upon a Dwarven settlement. There, she took up residence for two years, enthralled by the Dwarfs creativity and ability to make wonderful creations. It was then that she knew what she wanted to do with her life: not submitting to the hectic world of a wandering minstrel or creating weapons and armors like the Dwarves she admired, but to use her gained knowledge to become an inventor of useful/practical items to benefit others.

Personality: Naturally free spirited and consistently easy going, perhaps due to the way she was raised, Camille tries to avoid causing waves. She’s rarely one to take matters into her own hands, preferring to simply go along for the ride while watching things unfold, and perhaps taking action if the situation calls for it. She’s a people person but detests being the center of attention and while she enjoys the company of others, she doesn’t go out of her way to seek companionship. She’d much rather do her own thing than conform to someone else’s will and can often be seen alone with her head in the clouds as she thinks about plans for some invention or another, something she can get a bit fanatic over. Camille has a quick wit and sharp tongue, her often times blunt words landing her in sticky situations. Though it takes no effort for her to remain placid, she is known to become overly excited around well crafted inventions/creations ranging from weaponry to architecture, and if she feels she’s been unjustly wronged she is not above holding grudges and openly displaying her anger.

She has a few insecurities, including her height and the fact that she’s not a particularly skilled fighter.

Skills: Other than being somewhat able to use the bow and arrow, she is also a decent musician and even more so (or so she’d like to believe) innovative technician.

Other (optional): While she likes playing the lyre, she hates doing so in front of others. She also sinks like a rock in water.
Name: Raven

Age: 18

Race: Elf

Class/Occupation*: Cleric

Alignment: Neutral, more towards good

Appearance: http://browse.deviantart.com/art/Elf-257332989

Background: Raven grew up in a peaceful town located east of the kingdom of Lillias. Protected by the kingdom, everyone lived a calm, enjoyable life. In her town, the elves were more focused on archery and hunting. However, that wasn't the case for Raven who thought healing was more dear to her. As she turned 12, Raven traveled to become learn healing magic from a nearby Elven town, because a healing priest did not exist in her town. After several years of training to become a healer, Raven returned to her home village, but as she did, she couldn't comprehend what had happened to her village. Smokes rose to the skies as buildings burned with raging flames. She rushed towards her town and located her little brother who had a deep gash on his stomach. She kneeled down to use her healing magic that she had recently learned. However, she was not strong enough. She wept as her brother passed away. Raven went around attempting to heal any injured elves, but she had saved none. She wondered why she was so weak when she had trained for nearly 4 winters. As she slowly rose from the ground, she caught a glimpse of an old, fallen elf. With a dying voice, he spoke, "Raven... Run... It's too dangerous... He will come back...". As the old elf took his last breath, he passed away along with the rest of the elves in the town. Understanding the elder's assistance, Raven broke into a run with a thought in her mind. Just who was this "he" that killed everyone on my village... Raven climbed up a hill and turned around to look at her town for the one last time. She then headed west towards the kingdom of Lillias with one motivation: To become a stronger healer and save those she cares and loves for.

Personality: Raven is a sweet and merciful person. She is willing to go through anything to protect the ones she cares and loves. She is very intelligent and can think through tough situations. Ever since the destruction of her town, Raven became dedicated to work hard in becoming a great healer.

Skills: She is skilled in healing and can create wonderful medicines out of simple herbs. Other than her healing powers, Raven can detect incoming spells and other's auras in about a 30 meter radius.

Other (optional): She likes to sing, and it is rumored that Raven has the most beautiful voice in the East of Lillias.
Dwarf:


Faerie:
Name: Emera Lucine
Age: Appears to be 18, but in actuality is 134
Race: Faerie
Class/Occupation: Princess of Shinallia, Healer
Alignment: Good
Appearance: http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2011/065/0/8/dream_faerie_by_sakimichan-d35d1em.jpg
Background: Born Princess Emera Delis Lucine III of Shinallia, Emera has been raised in the center of the Shinallia forests to learn how to lead her people in the future, but since the faerie race is one of freedom and peace and immortality, Emera has had little to do her entire life being the princess placed as back-up leader in case any harm would befall her parents. Since Shinallia is very secluded, and tiny, in comparison to the rest of Nadilan, it hears very little of news or war and barely knows about Garlant's tyrannical rule. Emera lives in peace and is comfortable staying in her hometown atop the largest tree in the forest. Her duties as princess include guarding the crystal fountains, the source of magic and the most common birthplace of faeries.
Personality: Very soft spoken and shy around the "large ones", but will do her best to help anyone of any race. She loves sugar and flying above everything else. Is extremely terrified of dragons.
Skills: Small healing magic. Not very powerful, but will get the job done over time. Most useful for scratches and burns. Also knows how to ride small rodents for her benefit with the faerie skill of "animal speak".
Other: Being a very small seven inches tall, Emera prefers to fly in order to see people's faces and stands on the shoulder's of those she trusts. She avoids walking on the ground above all else for fear of being eaten or stepped on.

Darune (Dark Elf):
Name: Arstrath Velos

Age: 37

Race: Darune (Dark Elf)

Class/Occupation*: Assasin/ Enforcer

Alignment: Evil (For the time being)

Appearance: http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs45/f/2009/080/0/8/Dark_Elf_male_by_kerembeyit.jpg

Background: Arstrath doesn't remember where he came from, or who he was before he turned eighteen. Everything before that point eludes him, yet he possesses an exceptionally rational (yet merciless) mindset about life and how it should be treated. Without an ounce of regret or remorse, Arstrath has brutally cut down anyone who posed any sort of threat to his mission. Desperately, Arstrath seeks to reclaim his memory, as the occasional smell or sight will trigger a short but excruciatingly enticing memory of his past. Arstrath could not achieve his goals alone however. He enlisted with Garlands forces as a hire able mercenary and, later, professional assassin.

Without a doubt, Arstrath only desires one thing--his identity. Although he confides in almost no one, Arstrath realized long ago that he could not work alone. In the early days, he had served with a multitude of partners and adventurers, all of which died in tragic and unbearable deaths that Arstrath couldn't have avoided. Arstrath would often grow close to people, but when he did they would hardly last the year. All of those he had called friends either abandoned him to his fate, or died honorably by his side. Although Arstrath works for Garlan, he has shown mercy to those he considers an honorable opponent, or worth saving.

When the war started, Arstrath murdered many influencial political enemies as well as opposition soldiers. For his cunning and brutality, Garlan saw fit to enroll him in his own personal assassin order.

Personality: Arstrath is cold, unforgiving, and reclusive. He speaks to people only when he has to, but even that proves to be a challenge. The fact that he cannot remember his childhood or his family has taken a great toll on him. When he was younger, he searched with an open mind for his past, but he realized that he was causing more harm than good. Over time he developed a very anti-social outlook on life, relying on himself before others.

Arstrath was good at one thing however: murder. Some instinctual part of him desires death, as if by killing he is paying back the cruelty of the world. Arstrath realizes that Garlan's regime is doomed to fight with its opposition forever--he simply doesn't care. Rationally speaking, its better to be on the paying side than the outlawed side.

Skills: Exceptional Assassin, Decent Archer, Excellent Swordsman. Arstrath is proficient with most weapons, but his natural heritage grants him an increased stealth bonus-- a gift he makes the most of. Arstrath is also good with equipment, and is a bit of a tinkerer himself. Tools like the grappling rope, and the deploy-able torch are his favorites.

Animal Hybrid:
Name: Bearach (Beh-ruhk)
Age: 17
Race: Winter Fox
Class/Occupation: Wild Mage
Alignment: Neutral Good
Appearance: Bearach is of average height with an athletic build. Several tribal tattoos adorn his upper torso, neck, and face. Long white hair flows past his shoulders, while piercing blue eyes scout the horizon for the next challenge. He wears the garb of his people: A pair of nondescript britches, a tired-looking leather vest, an iron circlet, and a totem necklace. The totem depicts a small fox, tail and fur standing straight, hunkered down and ready to pounce. Arguably the most striking features on his body are those of the fox. The tips of his furry ears pierce the waterfall of hair on his head. A long mane runs the length of his back, right along the spine, which transitions into a bushy tail of matching color. Bearach's hands, shins, and feet are covered in fur. The fur is shiny and well-kept, silver, white, and soft. His teeth are clean, and his tail flows freely behind him. The claws on his hands and feet are sharp, but retractable.

Background: Bearach hails from a nomadic tribe of hybrids, who's travels take them all over the continent. He was born to caring parents, who raised him to be strong and independent. His tribe was known for producing powerful wild mages, so when Bearach used his first spell, his parents were more than excited. Wild magic involved no instruction, no lectures, and no studying. Bearach was allowed to practice his magic at his own pace, which often required the intervention of the tribes more seasoned mages.

Upon his 15th birthday, Bearach was given a choice, either leave to forge his own destiny to stay and become a Tribe Mage. Bearach chose the former, and struck out on his own. With the blessing of his parents and a spear he made himself, he took off in search of adventure.
Personality: Bearach is a simple man, who finds pleasure in the simple life. He is level-headed, but optimistic. He is observant, but could use a better attention span. Rules and formalities are different for his tribe, so he often misinterprets a custom or a word. He's not the least bit intimidated by the world's many different cultures, nor is he shy around new people. Bearach is fiercely loyal, to his people, and to justice.

Skills: Gathering, Spear Combat, basic Bow Proficiency, Herbalism

Other (optional): Bearach enjoys drumming on whatever is available when he's bored.

Dragon:
Name: Pyre
Age: unknown
Race: Dragon
Class/Occupation: n/a
Alignment: Good
Appearance: Pyre is a bronze dragon, stretching roughly 25 feet from head to tail. This is rather long for a dragon, most spanning 20-23 feet. His scales are shiny and well kept, with the exception of a long burn scar down his back.

Background: Pyre is not a young dragon. He witnessed the rule of the good king of the Human nation, before his greedy nephew came to power. When he new king began hoarding dragons, Pyre was instructed to join the king's army. Having already taken a rider, Pyre politely refused. The king, unhappy with Pyre's decision, decides that if he cannot have the dragon, he will have it destroyed. Pyre and his rider fought bravely, and managed to kill their attackers. However, Pyre's rider, Jerath, is mortally wounded during the fight. An attacking Red's fire breath severely burned the Rider, and scared Pyre's back. Jerath dies, but not before ensuring Pyre's safety.
Personality: Pyre spent a long time after that battle mourning the death of his Rider. They had been friends as well as allies. But as time went on, he found closure and moved forward. Upon hearing of the new rebellion, Pyre has offered his strength to the leader, Rose Ellinor. He still has no rider, but constantly searches the hearts of the rebels, waiting to be claimed once more.

Skills: Tracking, Sword Training, Spell-Sight

Other (optional): Pyre likes to sing, but his songs can only be sung in his true form as a human cannot possibly make the sounds otherwise. As far as dragons go, he's really pretty good.

He also enjoys foods sweetened with honey. He believes just about anything can be made better with honey. Because of this, he tends to spend money on procuring the sweet nectar if possible.
Name: Carthencor

Age: Undetermined (roughly half a millennia)

Race: Copper Dragon

Alignment: Nuetral

Appearance: http://browse.deviantart.com/art/Cop...ness-114814999

Background: Carthencor is one of the few remaining dragons of the East. In a time before, his tribe ruled the easternmost hills and mountains. To the Elves and Darune alike they were widely known for their impressively had shells and burning, acidic breath. For generations, tales and poems had been crafted around their existence--in particular the Darune idolized many of the great drakes; many of the beasts found their way into old Darune legends and songs.

Even before Garlant assumed control of Dragon Keep, the Eastern Dragons had begun to dwindle: many of the greats dragons either were hunted, or simply hidden away from the world. Carthencor, like his brothers and sisters, used his corrosive breath to hide away amongst the earthern caverns many decades ago. In the time before his descent, the last of the great East-Dragon Elders sought to either fight against the growing mortal population, or fly across the seas to seek anew. Carthencor's own brood was ordered to remain in Nadilan, but few did. He was loyal then, but as a result of following the demands of his misguided elders, his own brood departed without him.

Now, centuries later, a bitter and hardened Carthencor awakes from his long hibernation beneath Lillias. He knows not the world's fare, yet seeks to return to his birthplace. Deep beneath his violent and unpredictable exterior, Carthencor is burdened with a great regret for having abandoned family for pride. If he could change time, he would. Unfortunately, he is doomed to search for a new companionship.


Personality: Carthencor is, at worst, a very obscene and rude beast. He is completely indifferent to the whims of mortals, but holds a strong passion for ancient order and tradition. Like those before him, if he were to encounter a mortal worthy of the dragon's test, he would subjugate himself to the age-old blood debt.

Carthencor is not beyond saving--if he were to conquer his own misgivings about his betrayal, he might gain become the brave and loyal dragon he used to be. Until that time, however, he is doomed to live in a world that he feels he should have left long ago.

Skills: Carthencor's breath is the customary acid stream of his kind. Besides that, he can fly, transform and regenerate in the way that any other dragon can. Besides those physical skills, Carthencor has a wealth of old world knowledge--no part of Nadilan is foreign to him (besides any new cities).


Name: Rose Ellinor
Age: 21
Race: Human
Class/Occupation: Tactician, Seamstress, Leader of the Rebel Army
Alignment: Good
Appearance: 5' 5" with long, wavy red hair that reaches down to the waste. Deep brown eyes and fair, clean skin. Wears leather armor with a red, long sleeve under garb with black pants and brown string tied boots to her knees. Rose has a long sword attached to the left side of her belt.
http://i45.tinypic.com/5ufkth.jpg
Background: Rose was a simple seamstress before King Garlant took his position as king. When the rebellion began to start, Junon recruited her for her skills to make clothes, armor, and uniforms. Soon, they feel in love and Rose became a skilled tactician. When Junon was executed, Rose went into a deep depression. With Junon's sword at her side, Rose decided to build up the rebellion again in his honor and face against King Garlant.
Personality: Rose is very kind, but is serious when it comes to the war. She is usually calm in dire situations, but can panic if she can't think of any ideas on how to solve problems. She is usually very quiet and somber and prefers to stay alone. Really quiets down when the topic of Junon comes up. She is very strong willed and determined to put the world at peace.
Skills: Sewing, persuasion, leadership.
Other (optional): Even though Rose has a sword, she doesn't know how to use it. She is currently training, but currently avoids combat until she is more proficient with a sword. She also really likes cats.

Name: Emera Lucine
Age: Appears to be 18, but in actuality is 134
Race: Faerie
Class/Occupation: Princess of Shinallia, Healer
Alignment: Good
Appearance: http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2011/065/0/8/dream_faerie_by_sakimichan-d35d1em.jpg
Background: Born Princess Emera Delis Lucine III of Shinallia, Emera has been raised in the center of the Shinallia forests to learn how to lead her people in the future, but since the faerie race is one of freedom and peace and immortality, Emera has had little to do her entire life being the princess placed as back-up leader in case any harm would befall her parents. Since Shinallia is very secluded, and tiny, in comparison to the rest of Nadilan, it hears very little of news or war and barely knows about Garlant's tyrannical rule. Emera lives in peace and is comfortable staying in her hometown atop the largest tree in the forest. Her duties as princess include guarding the crystal fountains, the source of magic and the most common birthplace of faeries.
Personality: Very soft spoken and shy around the "large ones", but will do her best to help anyone of any race. She loves sugar and flying above everything else. Is extremely terrified of dragons.
Skills: Small healing magic. Not very powerful, but will get the job done over time. Most useful for scratches and burns. Also knows how to ride small rodents for her benefit with the faerie skill of "animal speak".
Other: Being a very small seven inches tall, Emera prefers to fly in order to see people's faces and stands on the shoulder's of those she trusts. She avoids walking on the ground above all else for fear of being eaten or stepped on.

(This looks like its going to be fin, please let me know if I need to make any changes and when we start)
Name: Dwalin
Age: 19
Race: Dwarf
Class/Occupation: Blacksmith Apprentice
Alignment: Good
Appearance: Dwalin is short and some what stocky Dwarf. With cotton at the base on top he wears light armor covering his chest, shoulders, and back, armor thick enough to stop an arrow a hundred yards away yet to thin to stop at sword. His long hair hits the sword that he carries on his back forged by his father with the symbol of his home at the base, the sword is only a couple of inches shorter than him making it an unusual weapon for a dwarf. Burn marks cover most of his hands from the countless forging of swords and a cut comes down his left eye with it immediately drawing your attention not noticing his brown eyes.

Background: Dawlin dwells southeast of Ironmore in a mountain village called Iron Hills, known for its legendary Blacksmiths skills and beautiful iron hills. Dawlin like all the other dwarves live inside the mountain where with every turn you see lights stretching as far as you could see working constantly day and night gathering the iron and forging weapons for kingdoms in every direction. Dawlin was born to be a blacksmith and it was something that he always loved doing not because that's what all he was taught, but it was seeing the look on a person face when they picked up that weapon immediately knowing that it was meant for them. That was when he trained with every weapon in the kingdom not master most of them, but still knew the basic of the weapon.

Dawlin could have spent his entire life in the mountain, but his father Thorin had different plans for him. Thorin sent Dawlin on a journey to find new mineral, something that metal and iron couldn't compete with and so Thorin watched as his son set out on his journey to find that mineral knowing full well that he would find much more then what he was looking for.
Personality: Has a very short temper (no pun intended), brave, loyal,always ready for a fight.
Skills: Blacksmith, all around weapons user

@ Death 101: of course! Probably wouldn't be right away, but if your characters story takes you to that point, I wouldn't find any problem with that. I probably need to add this to the first post, but when anyone wants to be a dragon rider mid-rp, their character will need to pass three trials directed by vestige. Great question, hope that helps :)

Can a Faerie be a dragon rider? Or does it have to be a Human? I realize it is a bit silly. However I would like to make a character who is one and rides a young silver dragon. I was thinking maybe as the dragon ages and grows, the magic surounding the dragon (Because it's a dragon and they always have magic abilities) could mutate the Faerie into growing larger aswell. to about the size of a dwarf but very lanky.

Idk... Just a thought.

Also, for now I can not get on sundays and I can only get on mid day from around 3:30 - 6:00 (EST) So would that be too little? I know people are ussualy on later but I have the night shift -_-

Name: Alison Loreon
Age: 18
Race: Cat Hybrid
Class/Occupation: Thief, though she doesn’t like to call it as is. She prefers mercenary or strategic combatant
Alignment: Neutral, fights for anyone willing to pay well
Appearance: Reference to this (http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h225/onen_only_foxx/catgirl12.jpg)
She has two spare knives for combat, and has claws on both her arms, which are retractable. She has two gauntlets on both arms. It is like armored fingerless gloves, with her claws sticking out for combat uses and it also assists with fist fights. She also wears dark boots, as shown in picture. Other than her tail and cat ears on the top of her head, she is mostly human-esque.
Background: Her family is from the northern side of Nadlian. Her family and group of hybrids stayed in a few towns in the northern edge. She trained with her brother in the art of combat and stealth. After a lot of training, her brother got a bit more of an insight into the rest of Nadlian. When Alison heard about those, she managed to convince him to bring her on his exploration of the world. When she was 14 and her brother at 17, the two left their family to start this expedition. Two years into this, the two got separated during a miniature mission. A small group of “friends” betrayed them due to a life-or-death situation. Alison soon after got into paid missions for various people or clients, but also she is mainly searching for her brother.
Personality: Due to previous events, she never is too loyal to some people. She is respectful to everyone, except those who requested her services but haven’t paid up. She has very few close friends who she is willing to protect out of true loyalty, such as people she has worked with before or other people she knew before. She may charge differently after she has done her duty, but only if it was a complicated task or such. Alison will only not complete a task if one of her close friends is involved in a bad way or she isn’t receiving pay.
Skills: Her usual dark clothing and hair allow her to easily accomplish tasks in then night such as stealing items or night missions. She is very quick thinking and easily uses her instincts to her advantage in fights, but her light armor and lack of heavy weaponry can make her at a disadvantage in combat, but she compensates for it with quick attacks and agility. She is a lot better with combat with allies. She is also decently good with other weapons she can find in combat.
Other: She is willing to side with any faction with money to pay her. She can have a long term alliance to a group if she owes a favor or receives her pay. However, if there is a group later on she meets that can pay better, then she will switch sides.

Name: Xiao Yahweh

Age: 18

Race: Human

Class/Occupation: Assassin

Alignment: Mislead

Appearance: http://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m569/JonnyFingaz/Characters/Konademon.jpg

Background: Xiao was born into a poor fishing family, oppressed by king Garlant and his forces to produce the taxes in place and give food to the ver growing army. Soon fed up with his starving family Xaio's father joined the rebellion Of course the revolution failed and eventually everything was as it was. But soon left alone as his father was on the run hiding or may be even dead. His mother had fallen to illness and though he tended to her needs it wasn't enough and she eventually passed. Left alone with no one he was taken into servitude under Garlant. Who noticed Xiao had a very stong will and would often get in trouble with the castle guards for not tending to the stables and often ended up getting hurt for fighting against them... Seeing the potential Garlant took him under his wing and had Xiao trained to kill from ten years old to his seventeenth year of his life. Finished his training and brain wash from Galant Xiao became the very thing his father was fighting against when he joined the first public rebellion. In the year of service that Xiao has given Garlant Xiao's mind has been filled with the lies that Garlant tells his people so they follow his cause. A young boy being given psycological bull crap to ensure his loyalty from childhood to youth could have very well given Garlant a killing machine. As with his training and his mindstate Xiao's emotionlessness is followed with horror stories of opposing militaries that have encountered him. A shadow, a demon, all sorts of tales that aren't true demonize the boy infront of locals and militaries alike. But these are just bar stories and bed time stories told among the people they are as real as freedom under Garlant's rule.

Personality: Peaceful detached empty. mostly he avoids killing unless ordered by whom ever has his services but he will defend himself if all other options are exausted.

Skills: Hand to hand combat, stealth, swordsmanship.

Vestige Warrior
04-12-2013, 05:37 PM
*facepalm* I can't believe i didn't post that. Sorry! Here's the long and the short of it.

looks human, roughly 6'4, late 20's, light build, tanned skin with narrow green eyes, smooth face with short sandy-brown hair. He's wearing a simple tunic and britches, boots, and gloves. A long sword is strapped to his back by a simple leather sheath and strap. The scar on his back carries through to his humanoid form, but is hidden except for the top of it, which enters his hairline.

Name:Arienai (pronounced Air-E-nigh) His name means Impossible.

Age: 57

Race: Faerie. (Male)

Class/Occupation*: Dragon Rider

Alignment: He is a freelance dragon rider. He and his dragon share a love for chaos.

Appearance: Arienai (http://serchito.deviantart.com/art/Harpies-brother-50894071) is unlike any other of his race. He is larger than most due to his association with dragons throughout the past couple years. Their magic has caused him to grow to an astounding 2ft 9in. He wears actual leather armor and has custom tailored clothing. He has daggers that he uses for swords that he keeps hidden sheathed behind his wings.

Background: Faerie are magical creatures and are often born in magical ways. Arienai was born from a dragons breath. He was born in a fight between four dragons. They all breathed at once, acid, fire, lightning, and ice causing an explosion. In the center of this explosion Arienai was born. When the fighting had ceased He followe dthe wounded ice dragon to her cave. He tended to her and watched over her. The dragon named him Arienai, meaning impossible, for he had been born of dragons breath. Arienai was shunned by his people due to the raw magic essence around him and his un-faerie like apperance. He went back to the dragon he had met and lived with her and her mate for 55 years.

Then King Garlant's forces came. They were searching for dragons. They took both the dragons and beat Arienai. He crawled deep into the cave and found a large blue stone. (http://browse.deviantart.com/?q=sapphire+stone#/art/Blue-Sapphire-96786879?_sid=6408b41b) It was cool to the touch. Then realisation doned on Arienai, this was an egg of the two dragons. So he stayed and cared for the egg and after a short time it hatched. He and the dragon were of one mind. They had been partners ever since the dragon had hatched. They had an Telepathic and Empathic Link before the egg had even hatched. So from that day on they were rider and dragon.

Arienai often was called a freak, and many claimed his dragon was mearly a Wyvern. He never named the dragon for he one day wishes to bring him to their shared mother and let her. In essence these two are half brothers. While the young dragon is born of two dragons, Arienai was born of the female dragon and magic itself. They always refer to eachother as brother because to them it just makes sence.

Personality: Arienai is proud and arogant. He hates when people mock him and is often quick to secretly get revenge. While he may be larger and stronger than most of his kind he still has the instinct of them and prefers to humiliate rather than mame. He will however fight. He loves too. His dragon brother and he both raise hell when anyone inssults either of them for their size. Neither of them know it, but Arienai grew so large due to being in such close proximity to his dragon and so it will never grow to full size.

Skills: He is a faerie and so is gifted with nature abilities. He can create a spark of fire/electricity, and he is tolerant to most natural toxins becoming ill rather than dying. He also has a cool air about him and his presence is often felt with a chilling breeze.

Other (optional): He and his brother are lonely and look for companion ship in other oddities of the world. Someone to understand their condition.


Is this ok? If it is I'll post first thing tomorrow :) let me know. I'm getting off for today. Bai

Name: Veyra Evodlin "Veve" or "Evy"
Age: 21
Race: Dragon/human
Class/Occupation*: Mercenary
Alignment: Combination
Appearance:
Veyra stands at 5'7 with black hair and gold/red eyes. he has a medium body build, but the strength of a Dragon. his skin looks human, but is as tough as a Dragon's also. he can make wings emerge from his back. they are a brassy color. he usually wears a sleeve-less shirt and pants that have a scaly pattern on them. over the sleeve-less shirt, he wears a thin coat that has sleeves to a little above his wrist. he has scars on his back. his teeth aren't as sharp as a Dragon's, but they are pretty sharp.

Background:

Veyra was playing in the forest when he heard shouting in the distance. he went to check it out but couldn't get in from anywhere. so he climbed onto a tree and saw a dragon with over 100 people around it. they were hurting the dragon. and he didn't like that. Veyra jumped out of the tree, thinking he would fall on someone and get to the dragon. and he did. there was a person hitting the dragon with a whip. the dragon was wounded. Veyra jumped in front of the whip and got hit by it. he screamed in pain. then stood up as people around him and the dragon gasped. "Why are you hurting him?" he demanded. one of the people told him to get out of the way and that little kids should be concerned with dragons. Veyra shouted, "NO! you are hurting him. i won't let you kill this dragon!" he hugged the dragon. the man whipped the kid again.

"Out of the way child!" he screamed. Veyra shook his head and didn't move. the man started whipping the dragon and Veyra. and Veyra would leave. a defender of a dragon should be treated like a dragon. Veyra heard. the dragon Roared with all its strength and pushed many of the people away. it was most likely the force of the air from the roar. the dragon looked at Veyra. his back bloodied with cuts from the whip. the dragon bestowed some of its power to Veyra, speeding up the healing. Veyra was still hugging the dragon. the people got scared and ran away. Veyra went unconscious.

When he awoke hours later, the dragon was gone. and Veyra had wings, and he was stronger and tougher.his tongue got hot and when he opened it, pointing toward the sky, a beam of fire shot out. he closed his mouth tight and blinked. he had protected the dragon because his mother, a dragon rider, had told him that Dragons are a sacred being. and if he proves himself to one, maybe he will to be a dragon rider. and how he adored dragons. he was sad that he couldn't help the dragon anymore and came home. he found his home ransacked. and saw that his mothers dragon had been killed. and he knew what that meant. he heard someone upstairs and thought it was his mother. till he heard the man shout at some other men. he ran away.. after a day or two of running, a mercenary had found Veyra and took him in.

Veyra grew up with the Mercenary and lived a happy life. he also found his skills and became a Mercenary. he has fought in many battles. Huge wars, or bandit fights. he has fought enough to be called a Veteran. though there is one catch. the highest payer is the only one he works for.

Personality: Veyra is quick tempered and smart. he will analyze a situation thoroughly before joining in. even if someone was paying him the highest, and he sees that the battle will lead to a failure on his side, he will fight for the payer who will win.
Skills: Flying, Hunting, Fighting, Cooking, Smithing.
Other (optional):
Veyra can't control his fire breath yet. but he is getting better at it.

Veyra can't fly that far without his wings getting weak.

he is weakest in extreme cold temperatures.

his abilities are weaker than a full dragons

Quick question-- If I wanted to make a dragon without a rider (he'll receive one later) how should I apply for that?


Name: Arstrath Velos

Age: 37

Race: Darune (Dark Elf)

Class/Occupation*: Assasin/ Enforcer

Alignment: Evil (For the time being)

Appearance: http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs45/f/2009/080/0/8/Dark_Elf_male_by_kerembeyit.jpg

Background: Arstrath doesn't remember where he came from, or who he was before he turned eighteen. Everything before that point eludes him, yet he possesses an exceptionally rational (yet merciless) mindset about life and how it should be treated. Without an ounce of regret or remorse, Arstrath has brutally cut down anyone who posed any sort of threat to his mission. Desperately, Arstrath seeks to reclaim his memory, as the occasional smell or sight will trigger a short but excruciatingly enticing memory of his past. Arstrath could not achieve his goals alone however. He enlisted with Garlands forces as a hire able mercenary and, later, professional assassin.

Without a doubt, Arstrath only desires one thing--his identity. Although he confides in almost no one, Arstrath realized long ago that he could not work alone. In the early days, he had served with a multitude of partners and adventurers, all of which died in tragic and unbearable deaths that Arstrath couldn't have avoided. Arstrath would often grow close to people, but when he did they would hardly last the year. All of those he had called friends either abandoned him to his fate, or died honorably by his side. Although Arstrath works for Garlan, he has shown mercy to those he considers an honorable opponent, or worth saving.

When the war started, Arstrath murdered many influencial political enemies as well as opposition soldiers. For his cunning and brutality, Garlan saw fit to enroll him in his own personal assassin order.

Personality: Arstrath is cold, unforgiving, and reclusive. He speaks to people only when he has to, but even that proves to be a challenge. The fact that he cannot remember his childhood or his family has taken a great toll on him. When he was younger, he searched with an open mind for his past, but he realized that he was causing more harm than good. Over time he developed a very anti-social outlook on life, relying on himself before others.

Arstrath was good at one thing however: murder. Some instinctual part of him desires death, as if by killing he is paying back the cruelty of the world. Arstrath realizes that Garlan's regime is doomed to fight with its opposition forever--he simply doesn't care. Rationally speaking, its better to be on the paying side than the outlawed side.

Skills: Exceptional Assassin, Decent Archer, Excellent Swordsman. Arstrath is proficient with most weapons, but his natural heritage grants him an increased stealth bonus-- a gift he makes the most of. Arstrath is also good with equipment, and is a bit of a tinkerer himself. Tools like the grappling rope, and the deploy-able torch are his favorites.

Other (optional): N/A

What I meant, however, was that I would like to make a dragon character (if it's permitted) which doesn't have a rider yet. The idea would be that Arstrath would eventually end up with him. Either way, thanks for the acceptance :)

Name: Camille Lockstorn
Age: 20
Race: Elf
Class/Occupation: Mediocre Hunter/fledgling inventor
Alignment: Currently neutral, though subject to change
Appearance: Camille is shorter than your average Elf, standing at about 5ft 1. Her slightly wavy, peach colored hair falls to her shoulders and compliments her eyes, which are a light shade of lilac. She has a lithe frame like most other Elves, which coupled with her height makes her appear to be several years younger than she actually is. Her skin, a light brown, is mostly covered by the garish clothing that she wears, courtesy of her minstrel upbringing.

Here’s a reference of her clothing and appearance, if you’d like:
http://i1115.photobucket.com/albums/k558/xCissnei/Camille.jpg]

Background: Camille, having been raised into a small clan of wandering minstrels, learned at a young age how to be entirely dependent upon the land and its bounty. Eccentric in their lifestyle, her clan traveled about Lillias as vagabond entertainers, content in the simple act of spreading joy and excitement wherever they went. For that reason, they hardly accepted money for their services and lived an impoverished though wholesome life. She grew up as a part of the clan’s musical troupe and was taught to play the lyre, though it wasn’t something that she particularly enjoyed to do when forced to perform for others.

Not unaware of the dangers of traveling and the brewing tension across the lands, Camille’s mother, once an able bodied archer, took it upon herself to try to teach her daughter the way of archery in order to offer her some form of protection. Disappointed when she was unable to master the weapon to her satisfaction, Camille instead focused on using small blades and daggers in the hopes that she’d be able to use smaller weapons with ease. Despite her best efforts, she was unfortunately horrible at wielding both a bow and a blade, much to her embarrassment. In her free time, while not busy entertaining or training with her mother, she would spend hours reading the various old books she acquired during her travels.

Around the age of seventeen, Camille began to question her true purpose in the world. Growing tired of her clansmen’s flagrant disregard towards Elven tradition and their hectic lifestyle, she estranged herself from her roots, albeit it with a tinge of remorse and sought out her own way of life. Still every bit the vagabond she had been since birth, she spent six months traveling across the treacherous plains and mountains towards Ironmore where she eventually stumbled upon a Dwarven settlement. There, she took up residence for two years, enthralled by the Dwarfs creativity and ability to make wonderful creations. It was then that she knew what she wanted to do with her life: not submitting to the hectic world of a wandering minstrel or creating weapons and armors like the Dwarves she admired, but to use her gained knowledge to become an inventor of useful/practical items to benefit others.

Personality: Naturally free spirited and consistently easy going, perhaps due to the way she was raised, Camille tries to avoid causing waves. She’s rarely one to take matters into her own hands, preferring to simply go along for the ride while watching things unfold, and perhaps taking action if the situation calls for it. She’s a people person but detests being the center of attention and while she enjoys the company of others, she doesn’t go out of her way to seek companionship. She’d much rather do her own thing than conform to someone else’s will and can often be seen alone with her head in the clouds as she thinks about plans for some invention or another, something she can get a bit fanatic over. Camille has a quick wit and sharp tongue, her often times blunt words landing her in sticky situations. Though it takes no effort for her to remain placid, she is known to become overly excited around well crafted inventions/creations ranging from weaponry to architecture, and if she feels she’s been unjustly wronged she is not above holding grudges and openly displaying her anger.

She has a few insecurities, including her height and the fact that she’s not a particularly skilled fighter.

Skills: Other than being somewhat able to use the bow and arrow, she is also a decent musician and even more so (or so she’d like to believe) innovative technician.

Other (optional): While she likes playing the lyre, she hates doing so in front of others. She also sinks like a rock in water.


Please let me know if any changes need to be made. I’d happily do so! Also, thanks for having me; I can’t wait to get started. If all is well, I plan to have my first post up sometime tonight. :’)

Honestly, the story is open to your own taking. The war is the main storyline, but your character can go and do as they please as long as they stay in the bounds and rules of the rp. You can go to Lillias, or not. Rose is not a "GM post" so don't feel obligated to follow her.

Name: Blake Loreon (He goes under the name Luke Dakota)
Age: 20
Race: Cat Hybrid
Class/Occupation: Scout and Stealth Combatant.
Alignment: Good
Appearance: Reference to this (http://i657.photobucket.com/albums/uu291/my-suicidal-romance/YukiLoveless_zps8fbb27d1.jpg)
Blake’s cat tail and ears are dark brown, rather than Alison’s black. He has retractable claws, which are stronger than Alison’s. He has about 3 throwing knives, strapped to his side and his bag. He does have a bit of lighter armor. He also uses one dagger as a primary weapon, with one throwing knife in the other hand.
Background: (See Alison). After the two got separated from each other, Blake continued to train with various weapons and tactics. He gained skills with various weapons, but prefers either a bow, dagger or throwing knives. Blake then went onto going by the alias “Luke Dakota”, just for various reasons. He is now trying to do the right thing and continuing his life. He later joined the Rebellion to make up for all he previously has done
Personality: Blake is more trusting than Alison. Like her, he is respectful to anyone but doesn’t have any problems with loyalty. Blake has a bit overprotective with his close friends due to what happened to his sister. He does think she is dead, and tries to forget that fact. It has been a few years; however Blake still thinks she might be still out there. So he is determined to make up for whatever faults he did by helping the rebellion.
Skills: Like Alison, he too is good with stealth work and has similar abilities combat wise. He goes for lighter weapons and goes on with ranged combat or quick battles. The two trained together for the most part, so the two have a similar combat skill set. He too uses his instincts and speed in combat. Blake does have a bit of a combat advantage to his sister, with his skills in a wider variety of weapons.
Other: Blake’s birthday is later on in the year than Alison’s.

So yeah, internet is down so I won't b posting in the ic today. To hard to type on the device I'm stuck on. I'll be back tomorrow and look forward to a Gm post!

Back from my weekend trip! I'll make a post today as well as a GM post soon. Try to wrap up what your characters are doing for the evening because I'll be making it morning in the GM post. Thanks for everything so far!

Also! I am wanting the king to be a jerk and insult Arienai. I want a reason for him to cause a bit of chaos and havic. ;)

04-22-2013, 09:01 PM
Ok, but please remember rules, all major npc encounters must be under my permission BEFORE posting. It's a high security castle, you would have not made it into the throne room nor would Garlant even be available in the dead of night.

04-22-2013, 09:10 PM
I can change the post.

And I did ask but you never responded any more than saying it sounded cool.

Also Brother wasn't in the castle if you are ok with me not changing the post.

Sereth
04-22-2013, 09:20 PM
I didn't respond because I saw you posting with someone about meeting up instead. Next time there's confusion, jut pm me :) sorry about that. You don't need to edit your post, I'll edit mine.

I am going for the interview tonight after that I will post... Hopefully I didn't get a chace to say that I would be MIA for a while because my ex roommate didn't tell me they didn't pay the net in two months so it was shut off....

A family emergency has arisen, so i'm catching an early flight home sunday morning. I will try to post at least once per day, but no promises.

Also, i'm really sorry to anyone who had questions about dragons or riding. I kinda dropped the ball on that; my brain went googly on me trying to study for finals. Please PM me if i didn't get with you, and i promise to get back with you within 24 hours. Again, really sorry for the delay.

Everyone, don't worry about lack of pots an I appreciate you all giving me notice. It is finals week for some and I understand emergencies. Good luck to you all and I hope you all succeed.

I, also, ran into some conflicts this weekend and did not have an opportunity to warn all of you. I apologize an hope to get back on track tomorrow.

Sereth
05-01-2013, 03:07 PM
@Death 101: please change your post. The whole reason Garlant couldn't see you is because he is meeting with king jerthakk and the darune lord as stated in the GM post. He wouldn't be in the gardens.

Sereth
05-01-2013, 03:30 PM
Just an advanced heads up: I may be going on a trip this early weekend and will not be able to post for a bit. However, when I do return, there will be a GM post involving the attack on southern Ironmore. If you want your characters to be involved, they can if they are in that area or a part of Garlant/jerthakks army. The battle will involve several GM posts, but if you are not in that area, your characters can continue to do whatever involving their business.

Back from my trip! I plan on getting all my posts up tomorrow and a huge apology for the delay!

@minasm: I found the base picture online and did minor edits myself to make the landscapes and areas more fitting to my vision. I also named everything. I put in a majority of the forests and positioned the goblek isles.

Just wanted to share this with you guys: http://etherpad.wikimedia.org/a5xBflrBRA

This is a link to a site that I've used for Rping before, in situations where several characters are interacting at once. I have more details on the site itself, so check it out for yourself!

05-09-2013, 04:51 AM
@Amodeus: While I have nothing against checking out other RP sites, you might want to be careful. RPA has rules against posting other RP websites here. Just a friendly fyi. :)

Amodeus
05-09-2013, 04:53 AM
Oh, it's not another site for RPing, it's a tool for collaborative writing. It's like a Word document that people can simultaneously edit, so a few of us could all write together in real-time before posting to RPA.

2. approximately how many members ARE dragons? I wouldn't want the roster to be lopsided by becoming one.

I can't answer 1, but there are currently 2 dragon characters (though I've only seen one active).

Vestige Warrior

There are two total dragon characters. I'm not sure if this thread is still recruiting, it depends on the leader Sereth. We'll find out soon enough. :)

So sorry, I lost Internet! Dark Xeno, the other dragon, quit and I still need to update the roster to account for that. It definately opens up room for a dragon character :) just pm Vestige Warrior the character sheet for approval (since dragons tend to be more specific characters). Thank for your interest and you can find all the current info for dragons under the appropriate tab.

Once again, sorry for running late and computer issues! I'll post for rose soon and a GM post is due on Monday.

Aside from classification by color, can a dragon also be more..element based? For example fire,water,earth, etc..

Vestige Warrior
05-11-2013, 10:26 PM
Welcome back Sereth! Sorry to hear about your technological woes.

Slender: The dragons are more of a magical being, rather than a natural creature. Each color has a corresponding breath attack that is usually elementally based. There is a small read-up on the main page. But any questions are welcome. :)

Junko Enoshima
05-13-2013, 11:50 PM
Was told to post this after gaining approval by Vestige.

Name: Gravi
Age: Unknown, but apparently by his tone of voice, pretty old.

Race: Dragon/Wyvern (A wyvern is basically a dragon that walks on two legs instead of the usual four, and they're arms are well developed wings.)

Class/Occupation*: Dragon

Alignment: Neutral, but most likely leaning on the good side.

Appearance:
http://i.imgur.com/OzeqUU7.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/q3iPmrx.png

Background: Born and nurtured in the more hot, and or volcanic regions of the mountains in Eldon, Gravi had always been a seldom,and lone-wolf type of Dragon. He didn't bother any other dragon when he was there, but if it so happened that he would be threatened Gravi was not going to ignore such an action without giving the attacker a wound or two. It took many year's for him to obtain such a stature, but at the same time, that he's spent many year's without interaction, not wanting to be bothered with the trifles of others.

Time passed by, and announcement was declared. A new king was declared in the domain know as Ferniar, and as time progressed he turned out to be a tyrant, that wished to conquer the land, and using dragon riders as the backbone of the whole ordeal.

Gravi didn't want anything to do with it. Seeing as he how he wasn't fond of unnecessary conflict. So, despite the consequences he got off of his heavy behind, and left his home in search of a new one. Out of the way of the ordeal, and someplace to rest. Strangely, he found a cave within a swamp to be the perfect candidate. It wasn't as hot, and humid as the previous, but it had a plentiful amount of rock's,and ore in which he could consume. He's resided there ever since, coming out every now and then to give his legs and wings some exercise.

Personality: At times rude, and cranky, but that doesn't mean that Gravi is a horrible dragon that no one can get along with. He's often skeptical about getting someone to ride him, mainly because he feels that his flying skills would only make them regret such a choice in the long run. When idle, he's just...lieing about and searching for ore to consume. After all, lagging that body around on an empty stomach is difficult.

Skills: He feed's heavily on volcanic rocks for minerals and ores, which consequently aid the development of his supremely strong shell and immunity to intense heat,gasses and fire beam. His tough rock-like hide also makes a good battering ram..meaning he can,and will charge head first at enemies.

He totes special internal organs that enable him to do two specific yet dangerous skills if he were to be threatened.

First, Gravi can fire off a astonishingly hot concentrated beam of fire with surprising range,that exits his mouth in a straight line, Despite that, he's capable of using it to sweep an area by simply moving his head.

Second, Gravi can emit gasses from the odd pipe-like protrusions that are near his leg and chest area. If the gas's color appears white it contains a strange mixture of bodily fluids that can induce sleep.
And if the gas he emits is more of a red coloration, Gravi is dispersing excess heat that his fire emitting glands produce.

NOTE: These skills cannot be used by him if he's hungry, and or exhausted.

Other (optional): He's capable of flight and far distances aren't much of a problem, though..his flying speed is a bit on the slow side due to his weight.

Sereth
05-13-2013, 11:54 PM

If possible, is there any character near a forested, and or swampy area?

Honey&Milk
05-14-2013, 12:12 AM
I'm unfortunately in the capital of Ferniar at the moment. I do have plans to leave eventually and possibly join the resistance at some point, but I'm not sure when that will be...As far as I'm aware, everyone is scattered throughout different parts of Ferniar and Lillias.

Minasm
05-14-2013, 12:12 AM
For quite a while I mentioned perhaps introducing a dragon character--since way back when. If I wished to add him, would I ask vestige about that then?

Sereth
05-14-2013, 12:18 AM
@minasm: yep, vestige would be the one. He helps make sure people arent overpowered and knows the lore great. Usually, I don't want too many dragon characters, but you have definately proved yourself with your exquisite writing that I think it would be great for you to start up another dragon character :)

Junko Enoshima
05-14-2013, 12:24 AM
Hmm..at the very least I might as well put up an introductory post :/

Exquisite? Well shucks guys. Thanks sereth--I wanted to provide a parallel for Arstrath which would later help him out in the story. Similar to what Pyre is for Rose, (insert dragon name here) would be for Arsrath.

Minasm
05-16-2013, 02:37 AM
So Vestige approved this dragon character of mine. Thought I would just post the C.S. here for you all.

Name: Carthencor

Age: Undetermined (roughly half a millennia)

Race: Copper Dragon

Alignment: Nuetral

Appearance: http://browse.deviantart.com/art/Cop...ness-114814999

Background: Carthencor is one of the few remaining dragons of the East. In a time before, his tribe ruled the easternmost hills and mountains. To the Elves and Darune alike they were widely known for their impressively had shells and burning, acidic breath. For generations, tales and poems had been crafted around their existence--in particular the Darune idolized many of the great drakes; many of the beasts found their way into old Darune legends and songs.

Even before Garlant assumed control of Dragon Keep, the Eastern Dragons had begun to dwindle: many of the greats dragons either were hunted, or simply hidden away from the world. Carthencor, like his brothers and sisters, used his corrosive breath to hide away amongst the earthern caverns many decades ago. In the time before his descent, the last of the great East-Dragon Elders sought to either fight against the growing mortal population, or fly across the seas to seek anew. Carthencor's own brood was ordered to remain in Nadilan, but few did. He was loyal then, but as a result of following the demands of his misguided elders, his own brood departed without him.

Now, centuries later, a bitter and hardened Carthencor awakes from his long hibernation beneath Lillias. He knows not the world's fare, yet seeks to return to his birthplace. Deep beneath his violent and unpredictable exterior, Carthencor is burdened with a great regret for having abandoned family for pride. If he could change time, he would. Unfortunately, he is doomed to search for a new companionship.


Personality: Carthencor is, at worst, a very obscene and rude beast. He is completely indifferent to the whims of mortals, but holds a strong passion for ancient order and tradition. Like those before him, if he were to encounter a mortal worthy of the dragon's test, he would subjugate himself to the age-old blood debt.

Carthencor is not beyond saving--if he were to conquer his own misgivings about his betrayal, he might gain become the brave and loyal dragon he used to be. Until that time, however, he is doomed to live in a world that he feels he should have left long ago.

Skills: Carthencor's breath is the customary acid stream of his kind. Besides that, he can fly, transform and regenerate in the way that any other dragon can. Besides those physical skills, Carthencor has a wealth of old world knowledge--no part of Nadilan is foreign to him (besides any new cities).

As I always say, more dragons--more fun.

Amodeus

Hey guys. I'm feeling a bit under the weather and as such have been brooding in bed for the past few days, devoid of any amount of inspiration or want to write. I'll try to get a post up tonight, but if not then you can expect one sometime tomorrow!

Sereth
05-17-2013, 04:00 PM
makes sense. sorry about the long day. i plan on making night fall as soon as rose reaches base as well as a new GM post. things took longer than expected,so playing your dragon would be a good idea

Sereth
05-17-2013, 04:22 PM
Just as a heads up and reminder:

Vestige Warrior is as much as a GM as myself; especially when it comes to dragons. If he ever pms you in regards to this RP, it is usually under my jurisdiction and approval. As per the rules, GM word is law and that includes his word. If there are any questions about this, please PM me before making assumptions.

Have a nice day! When I started this rp it was out of the love of writing and collaborating with others. I hope this is the same with all whom joined it. :)

05-17-2013, 05:26 PM
Hey, I was browsing the forums when I came upon this little gem. (I don't normally tread over to fantasy, just because of the lower member count) And I am fairly certain I'd love to join this.

Just a few questions. In regards to dragons are they of your own mythology or do they borrow from D&D: Whereas Chromatic Dragons are evil and Metallic Dragons being good? Or are all of different allignments?

Also are custom races allowed? I'll most likely be sticking with a human or elf. But I ask just for the sake of it.

EDIT: After reading the first post(s) more thoroughly, it does seem you've based your dragons on D&D varieties. And I know this is of course your own creativity mixed in. But Silvers are actually the same size as Golds as they are the second most powerful of Metallic Dragons (as per D&D's Monstrous Manual)

@Minasm: Where is your dragon geographically located at the moment?

@Mr. Boxer:

Some parts of the dragons were taken from Forgotten Realms, but they are not entirely based there. The primary differences:

They are closer to the size of Nazgul from LotR (sorry if I spelled that wrong.) The general length of a full grown adult is 20-25 feet.

Color has nothing to do with alignment. Many dragons are neutral until they take a cause or Rider. Then they assume the appropriate alignment. Some start out with an alignment other than neutral; it's generally left to the player.

The hierarchy is a bit different, clearly, but it's more of a tradition thing than based on raw power. No color is really more powerful than the other. They all have strengths and weaknesses.

I am the Dragon GM for this RP, so if you have any questions about them, feel free to ask here or PM me. Other questions I leave to Sereth to answer, as she is primary author.

Denraven
05-17-2013, 05:56 PM
Ah, excuse me for my rudeness. But Nazguls are actually the wraiths, Fellbeasts are the dragon type creatures. :P A common mistake. (Again sorry if that came off rude, it's just I being a rather big Tolkien fan see that mistake more often than not.)

Now, do you include Wyverns and Wyrms in this? the former only have two legs and wings, the latter having no wings or legs

Sereth
05-17-2013, 06:26 PM
In regards to custom races, they are fine as long as they are approved ad not overpowered. Also, a custom race would probably be the only one of its kind as the rps mythology states the different races and their provinces. There is an animal hybrid race that can be more customizable than the set races, however.

Sorry if our dragons are similar to D&D, but that was not intentional. All mythology, size, and color properties should be explained in the first post, but when it comes to alignment it is a dragons personal choice. Otherwise, they tend to live as their own seperately or together in the dragons keep. As you have already found out, Vestige is the one To go to involving questions of that nature.

Thank you so much for your interest!

Denraven
05-17-2013, 06:34 PM
Oh, I actually love that your Dragons are D&D rooted. It means that I have a better understanding of them. ^_^ I base a lot of my character creation around D&D style, at least in terms of race.

Minasm
05-17-2013, 07:44 PM
My dragon is currently trying to break free from the earth in the relative vicinity of the battle going on right now. The explosions I wrote about were the blasts of lightning that Pyre was giving off. I plan for him to only arrive after the battle or at least at the very end. He's not sticking around either--heading north as it is.

Denraven
05-18-2013, 01:39 AM
Anyone home?

Vestige Warrior
05-18-2013, 02:48 AM
That works. Just didn't know if Pyre would've been close enough to stumble on him or not. If so, cool. If not, just as cool. Whatever you'd like to do. :)

And yes Boxer, I'm home. Finally. Seems like i've been running around since 7am.

Oh wait... I have.

Denraven
05-18-2013, 02:54 AM
Sounds like my day as well though I chose to skip Friday Night Magic this week.

Vestige Warrior
05-18-2013, 03:04 AM
Man I wish I had time for something like that. This is all I can really afford, time-wise.

Denraven
05-18-2013, 03:10 AM
Unemployment has its perks.

I am glad to see there is a variety of talent in the IC. Some nice short posts, mixed with mid and intermediate length posts. Something I can settle into.

Denraven
05-18-2013, 03:58 AM
So, without me having to go through 20+ pages of IC (I could do it, but I'd rather not) where is everyone located?

Junko Enoshima
05-18-2013, 03:07 PM
My character, Gravi is located within a swamp near the border of Lillias.

Also, sorry if I haven't been around much, my condition had worsened for a few days or so, but im feeling a tad better. Not that u have a clue what to post though... id force interaction, but I don't want to disregard my characters personality in order to do so.

Sereth
05-18-2013, 03:53 PM
Rose is on her way to the rebel base, alongside the mountains in Ferniar.

Glad you're feeling better, Slender!

Honey&Milk
05-18-2013, 04:30 PM
My character is in the Capital of Ferniar at the moment.

It's slow going, too. I feel like I should hurry up with this side plot I have going on so I can jump in on the action, but I like character development entirely too much. Not to mention my character isn't much of a fighter.

Vestige Warrior
05-18-2013, 04:58 PM
Pyre is maybe 20 miles behind Rose, but further out from the mountains, heading toward the main base.

Minasm
05-18-2013, 05:15 PM
I'm in a remote village in Lillias waiting until daybreak. I'm in the same predicament as Honey. I want to work on character dev a little before interacting with the rebellion.

Sereth
05-18-2013, 05:20 PM
Just a heads up, I'll be doing a GM post by tonight. Sorry for taking so long on this day change, but evening will fall for this coming post.

Amodeus
05-18-2013, 06:07 PM
I am currently on y way back to the rebel base as well, though I hafta post to reflect that. I try to throw CD into flashbacks and such, so expect them to pop up randomly through my posting.

Denraven
05-18-2013, 06:29 PM
So, I do this with every role-play I join: Does anyone have Skype? Or Teamspeak?

Minasm
05-18-2013, 06:48 PM
Unfortunately not, no.

Sereth
05-18-2013, 07:43 PM
We do not use Skype or team speak on this rp. If you wish to speak that way with other members, ask them in a pm, please, not the OOC :)

Denraven
05-18-2013, 07:57 PM
Ah, okay. Just thought it was easiest to ask in here first, but if that's not allowed, I understand. I just find it a lot easier to reach, contact, and get to know the people I'm going to be role-playing with through use of an IM service.


~~~~~Johnathan Royce G. Whoreson~~~~~
Name: Johnathan Royce G. Whoreson
Age: 28
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Class/Occupation: Mercenary

Appearance:
http://i1231.photobucket.com/albums/ee518/ThatBlueDude/__leader_armor_concept___by_eventrue-d5h1b9d_zpse8928114.jpg
Height: 5'11”
Weight: 76.36Kg (168lbs)
Hair Color: Naturally brown, dyed darker, though not quite black.
Eye Color: Black
Muscle Build: Swordsman Build – Heavy on the arms, with a splashing of legs and core for good measure.

Weapons: Johnathan takes great pleasure in the irony of carrying a Bastard Sword, which he has so lovingly called Whoresbane.
Skills: Johnathan prides himself on his skill at arms, though he knows he is far from the best, he has yet to meet anyone who fights nearly half as dirty as he does. Nothing is below him, as long as it wins the fight.

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Personality: Johnathan is a callous, bitingly sarcastic, abrasive individual who cares nothing for anyone and at times not even himself. He's reckless brash and barefaced, he'll speak his opinion whether you want it heard or not, he simply doesn't give a damn. He's your run on the mill mercenary all he cares about is lining his pockets with gold, and will sell his sword to the highest bitter.

That's what he appears on the outside at least, it's his way of shielding himself from the world, to disconnect from it, to make sure it can no longer cause him pain. Underneath it all, he's someone who is conflicted with his beliefs. On one hand he loves money, fighting, and loves that he can combine the too. Yet he resents all the same, knowing that this life is the best he's ever going to make it. His below base birth will never allow him to rise any higher then he currently is, and sooner or later, every mercenary finds his way to a grave before his time. You can either be rich and dead, or alive and poor, rarely is there any gray area for mercenaries. Johnathan isn't without friends, so he's not desperate in that regard, though he does wish his friends weren't Mercenaries such as himself, as rough around the edges as he himself is.

Yet he can't change who he is, he knows he has little to no hope of rising any higher, and he's coming to accept that as he grows older. He'll count himself lucky if he sees the age of 30 most Mercenaries never see 40. He'll continue to sell his sword, and hope that one day, he can say he was part of a great cause.
Background: Johnathan, as his last name suggests, was born the son of a whore. Though his mother likes to claim that he has the blood of a Nobleman in him, which though plausible, is quite doubtable and nearly impossible to prove. He grew up on the streets of one Ferniar's larger merchant cities, far from the Capitol. At first they tried to make him a whores boy, for more *ahem* special clients, but that soon proved to be a misinformed choice when he gelded the first patron who tried to touch him. He was cast out of the brothel and forced to flee the area lest he be arrested and imprisoned. From there he was on his own like so many others, forced to meet out whatever living he could on the street. He already knew the story of life on the street, it'd been told time and time again, and living in a brothel gave him no fantasies about how it would be. Eat or be eaten, fight or be beaten or killed, steal or be robbed. Dog eat dog, trust no one, even those you might call friends.

In time as he grew older he found he had a skill with weapons, particularly the old classic, the sword. Perhaps he did have a touch of noble blood in him somewhere. For surely only a nobles blood, imbued with centuries of training could impart the sort of raw, natural talent Johnathan showed himself to posses. It didn't matter to Johnathan though, all he knew is he was good with a sword and that it meant money. He knew it'd be easy, given the state of world with King Garlant trying to conquer it.

He is now currently unemployed, his previous employer, making the mistake of trying to skimp out on the agreed upon amount met and untimely end by Whoresbane.
Other (optional):

Sick character. Can't wait to see whoresbane in action XD

Sereth
05-18-2013, 08:54 PM
Thanks for posting your CS for everyone! Welcome to the rp!

Denraven
05-18-2013, 09:08 PM
I aim to please. Johnathan is the type of character that will fight beside you one minute, then, provided the pay is better, stab you through the groin with Whoresbane in the next. He has 0 loyalty, his only love and friend is money. Basically the quintessential Mercenary.

Minasm
05-19-2013, 02:50 AM
Forgive me if it sounds like I'm making a rude assumption here, but did you just completely take control of Rose in your post? Isn't that technically illegal?
Maybe you all spoke about it before hand, but it seemed a little strange to me. Sorry if that's the case.

Denraven
05-19-2013, 02:55 AM
It's a Co-Op post, I forgot to title it as such. :P We went back and forth in PM's.

Also sorry it's so long, I won't be making a habit of posting 11 paragraph posts.

Minasm
05-19-2013, 03:03 AM
Oh that makes sense. I got a little freaked out there.

Denraven
05-19-2013, 03:20 AM
Don't worry. I've been role-playing far too long to go about and blatantly god-mode.

Honey&Milk
05-19-2013, 12:53 PM
Oh my...I can't. I just can't. Your character, Mr. Boxer, is beyond the level of coolness that my mind can properly comprehend. Stop it this instant. :'P

I also bow down before you and your 11 paragraph post. I haven't read it yet, but I'm sure I'll be in love with it regardless.

Minasm
05-19-2013, 02:33 PM
Spoiler alert Honey--it was magnificent.

Honey&Milk
05-19-2013, 02:54 PM
Indeed it was, Minasm. My inner soul wept as I read it. I must work hard and aspire to such greatness, as I am nothing more than a fledgling RPer in comparison.

Hehe, seriously though. Amazing first post, Boxer!

Sereth
05-19-2013, 03:47 PM
Hey! Like he said, I helped in that post too! Praise me!

Ha ha, totally just kidding. It is a pretty good intro, and since he wanted to start along with rose, we made it easier over pm.

Honey&Milk
05-19-2013, 03:56 PM
Hehe! Of course, Sereth! An oversight on my part, you too were amazing in collaborating that wonderful post! ;'D I've never seen a post that was done as a collaboration before, so it was very interesting to read.

Denraven
05-19-2013, 04:41 PM
Oh hush. You're going to make me have an ego. Maybe if I make my Dragon Rider you'll all love to hate me for how cruel and evil I male him.

But yeah, before I came to RPA I had never heard of doing Co-Op posts. I love them because they're useful for conversation and in some situations player versus player combat. Though I still believe going into an Arena style thread in a separate section is ideal for the larger more serious fights.

Junko Enoshima
05-19-2013, 05:38 PM
I feel awkward and out of place here :s

Denraven
05-19-2013, 05:50 PM
Why do you feel that way?

Junko Enoshima
05-19-2013, 05:55 PM
Everyone's posts, and chit-chat make me feel inferior, and not that knowledgeable. I know it's not something that should bother someone, but it does to me.

I feel like that one person that gazes at a group of friends from afar, and wishes he/she was accompanying them.

Hell, I feel even worse admitting about how I feel. Eugh :s

*disappears*

Denraven
05-19-2013, 06:05 PM
Hey, hey. We're all here to have a good time. No one is inferior or superior to anyone. We all have different strengths and weaknesses, writing styles, etc. If I've learned something in my near decade of role-playing, it's that we are always constantly learning and improve. Don't feel inferior. When I started out I could barely write, one or two line posts, and those were filled with spelling errors and what not.

Come on, stick around. You're sure to learn lots, and I am always available to help and answer any questions you might have about role-playing.

Sereth
05-19-2013, 06:48 PM
Well said, boxer! Everyone is welcome! It's the joy of collaboration that I rp for.

Denraven
05-19-2013, 06:53 PM
I am willing to share my 10 years of experience with everyone, and I am sure everyone else is willing to share theirs as well. :3

Amodeus
05-19-2013, 07:19 PM
Sorry guys, I've been working like it's my job. I should get something up soon.

And Slendy, don't alienate yourself!

....see what I did there?

Honey&Milk
05-19-2013, 07:26 PM
I wholeheartedly agree with what everyone's said. You're more than welcome here! Stay a while, get comfy, and have some fun. That's the most important thing, right? :')

Amodeus
05-19-2013, 07:27 PM
Also, yes. ^

Denraven
05-19-2013, 07:56 PM
Now if everyone could just go ahead and post, that'd be real great.

Junko Enoshima
05-19-2013, 08:50 PM
Ah..err..thanks everyone.

Sereth
05-19-2013, 09:00 PM
Everyone can post when they like XD I want the rp to stay active, but not so much that it interferes with real life. Let us all be patient with one another and understanding.

And, just need to say, you have all been great members of this rp! I was SO scared to start my own roleplay and be a GM, but you have all made it great and worth it a million times over. You have all brought some great ideas and creativity an truly brought Nadilan to life I couldn't ask for it to become any greater, but it is all the time thanks to all of you! I only hope I can meet up to your expectations as a GM. :)

Minasm
05-19-2013, 09:07 PM
You're doing just fine Rose. Nadilan's a very fun place to explore. I think the best part about us all being rather separate is the ability for us to each sculpt different parts of the world simultaneously. This--I think--makes Nadilan unique.

Denraven
05-19-2013, 09:11 PM
And then we can gather up and destroy it in a long, bloody, seemingly endless war that will lives millions dead, hundreds of cities burned, and more than one bastard child due to soldiers.

Sereth, just don't randomly disappear for like 2 weeks without any warning and we'll be all good. If you do, I am sorry, but I may just have to sick a Illithid on Rose.

Vestige Warrior
05-19-2013, 09:11 PM
I think we should all thank Sereth for the time and energy she's spent putting this story together, as well as her efforts in maintaining it. She's done an wonderful job, and I am grateful for the opportunity to work with her. It's been an absolute pleasure! /bow

Junko Enoshima
05-19-2013, 09:43 PM
Im still not sure what to post. I'm not near anyone, and due to my characters personality, I won't be going anywhere unless persuaded etc.

Denraven
05-19-2013, 11:44 PM
I'm lonely and bored, and really want to read some posts. :P

Minasm
05-20-2013, 02:42 AM
Having a second character has some benefits: I can post even though I foolishly let my main be taken out of the story for a while.

Junko Enoshima
05-20-2013, 02:43 AM
Having a second character has some benefits: I can post even though I foolishly let my main be taken out of the story for a while.

But who is he referring to?

Minasm
05-20-2013, 02:50 AM
Sorry, but where did I write 'he' in that entire sentence? I was referring to the fact that I put Arstrath (my main) to sleep before the day was supposed to finish. My second character--Carthencor--is filling the void until my main can wake up.

Junko Enoshima

Umm what? I was asking about your post. Your Dragon was calling out for help, was he not? I was thinking that maybe it could be an opening for me to actually do something with my character. I know my previous post was a little vague about what I was trying to ask,but you didn't have to be a smart ass about it :/

Minasm
05-20-2013, 03:19 PM
Dude I'm so sorry. I didn't even realize how douche-y that sounded until afterwards. Honestly, I didn't mean any disrespect I just wasn't sure what you were talking about. If you want to jump in that's cool, but my dragon was referring to Vestige's character because he had specifically addressed my dragon in one of his posts. Seriously sorry for sounding like a jerk--I didn't read it through before posting.

Denraven
05-20-2013, 06:29 PM
*Waits patiently for Sereth to post*

Sereth
05-20-2013, 06:42 PM
I'm waiting for someone else to post. Also, you went into the cave party, so my posting shouldn't affect yours. Rose is still just gonna sit on that rock.

Denraven
05-20-2013, 06:56 PM
Damn, guess I froze myself until more people decide to join us.

Sereth
05-20-2013, 07:02 PM
You could always solo post?

Denraven
05-20-2013, 07:16 PM
Not my style. :P

Sereth
05-20-2013, 07:29 PM
Well, I am willing to post with you :) I almost forgot that she's bleeding to death, so it would probably be good for her to take a break from rock sitting. Post will be up in a minute

Junko Enoshima

It's..okay :/ At the very least you apologized. Imagine reading that when I was hoping for an answer to my question. It kinda got me disheartened..

And I don't think my character, Gravi is near your dragon.. stuck in limbo again. I need to think of something, because im far from saying im enjoying an rp when I haven't gotten to truly experience it...someone help me.

Amodeus
05-20-2013, 08:24 PM
Sorry that took me so long to get up, everyone. I'll likely not take so long in the future. My weekends are sometimes a bit harsh.

Sereth
05-20-2013, 08:28 PM
@amodues: all good! Loved your post, btw :D

@slender: I'll help you out! I'll make a GM post specifically near your area. It'll be short, but should be enough to get your character rolling

Honey&Milk
05-20-2013, 08:41 PM
I might be a bit slow with posting today. I'll try to have something up by 10 if I can.

05-20-2013, 09:41 PM
Update:

New characters have been added to the accepted characters list.

State of War has finally been updated.

New rule added: Please be patient and considerate of others and their posts

I will also be deleting the following characters due to inactivity: Xiao, Alison Loreon, Blake
If there is a mistake with any of the following, please notify me.
The deletion of these characters will also lead to more open recruitment for the rp.

Thanks for everything so far!
