The Artifact

This RP still needs more role-players.

The Artifact

Medieval Setting/Near Perfect Grammar Needed

Living creatures speak of it, they make tales of it, but only some are connected to it. When a unique soul is made, it is linked to an Artifact. An Artifact is nothing but a mere empty substance, which is created slowly, piece by piece as the soul linked to it grows in age. The factors which control how an Artifact is made by taking the nature of the linked soul. An Artifact must be found, it is hidden until the soul has reached maturity. Once a soul has reached maturity, it then feels it's Artifact. These souls weren't selected for no reason. There are those who are born with an Artifact but use it for evil. They're lust for power, and the fact that they have gotten it has given their power to create a whole new being, based on their self. The Vengeful, no matter how powerful they are, they are still bound to the Ancient Rules. They cannot create a being and ensure it an Artifact. They may create a being but with a very minimal amount of power, sometimes just for striking terror into normal beings, so they can take power of the public. Those gifted with an Artifact and use it for good are already chosen to join in the war against the Vengeful.

Races

Humans

Elves
Finds their Artifact at the normal rate due to their ability to live twice the life span of a Human or Demon.
Demons

FAQ
Question: What does an Artifact look like?

Answers: It could be a mere essence, a blade, an object. Use your imagination, as you will be the one who decides the initial physique of your artifact, and I will tell you what I think of your nature based on my observations and observations from a certain role-player in this RP. But you will be allowed to tell me if I am wrong in thinking of your nature. You will then select what the ability your Artifact gives.


Question: Is there magic in this RP?

Answer: Yes there is, you are born with a menial amount of talent which must be trained through battle and a NPC sorcerer.


Question: My character has fast reflexes and others, is that okay?

Answer: Definitely, but there must be a reason. Like you have focused your magic onto your speed, muscles. Reflexes don't always work, remember that, you must get hit sometimes, but those who's reflexes are trained are an exception, but must get hit. There is no one who is powerful in both, speed, muscles, and reflexes, unless it is magic coming from an Artifact, and is obviously temporary.


Question: What is are the Elements?

Answer: Arcane, Flame, Frost, Lightning, and Earth

Arcane Magic is composed of magic from celestial objects, and telekinesis.

She has two white leather gloves that have steel in the tips. The palms also have little hollow pieces of steel in them to allow for echoes. She wears worn steel toe and steel heel boots. This allows her to use her main skill, sound. She carries a pouch on her left hip.

She will accept help if she realy needs it, but perfers to work on hewr own. If you can get to know her, she is a really kind person and is always looking for a good laugh.

Fighting style- she uses her sound magic to attack and hurt her opponents. She can vibrate different objects to have varrying effects on people and things, like destroying rocks to causing heart attacks. She mainly uses her gloves, but will use the metal balsl and her flute for more long range attacks.

Weapons- Her gloves- she can use them to get a quick glance of sound waves. They have small hollow plates in the tips to allow her to manipulate the sound coming from them. She carries metal marbles around in her pouch. These allow her to "throw" her sound abilties and bend then at will, they do not work on soft areas though.

Flute- she has a flute that she can use to create illusions on her opponents. This instrument is always in tune due to her keen sense of hearing. She uses this for illusions to confuse people. She has learned to vibrate sound at certain pitches to cause different effects of pain on people, like getting hit by lightning.

Her main weakness it wind, since even with ound, she can't see it with her magic

Magic- she can manipulate and bend sound waves to create different effects on people. She uses this power to "see" what is going on around her. She is a natural at this, since she was blind at birth, and this was the only way she could see around. She can use her magic to neutral out other magic by finding its frequency and warping it with her magic.

History- She was born into a family of gypses that lived in a forest clearing. Her parents soon found out about their daugther being blind, and were saddened by this. She surprised her parents when she showed signs of being able to use magic, especially since this type of magic was rare in her family line. She used her sound magic to find her way around, but was taken advantage of her unpraticed magic by older men. She was abused and violated many different times, until she ran away from home. She used her magic afterwords to live on her own, stealing and fighting when needed. She soon became a naturalist with her magic, and was happy again in her life. She had come to distrust most people, men in general, because of her past. She also came to dislike people who treated her as a kid, even thoguh she was one.

Temperament- Champion

Name: Elena Jem.
Gender: Female.
Age: 23.
Race: Demon.
Magic: Arcane.
Story: Elena's father was a famous surgeon, renowned far and wide for his ability to repair any manner of grievous injury with his scalpel. It was a little known fact that his scalpel was, in fact, an artifact. Being a somewhat pompous man, he'd rather that people believe his skill was great, rather than it being something bequeathed to him by a powerful object.

Elena lived well because her father was so needed and respected in the community. She was well educated, healthy, happy, and engaged to the Mayor's son. Things were going extremely well for her. Unfortunately, things were fated to go horribly wrong.

While riding one day with her fiance, Elena was thrown off of her horse and landed face first onto an old broken stake sticking out of the ground. Her lover raced her to her father, praying that he could save his sweetheart. The spike had rammed right down her throat, tearing out teeth, rending her tongue and palate, and leaving her mouth and face a gruesome mess. However, her father was confident that he could save her and her face with his artifact, even with how extensive the damage was. Once in the operating room, his confidence waned. One hour turned into two, into three, into eight. Mister Jem put pin after pin into Elena's face, trying to hold the bleeding flesh and shattered bone together. In the end, the operation was declared a failure. His scalpel had not been good enough to fill his needs that once. Although Elena could move her jaw, too many teeth were gone for her to eat correctly or speak.

She began to wear bandages around her mouth and nose every day. Her fiance found a prettier girl and gently explained that she should concentrate on her recovery, though he had to move on with his life. Her father lost his reputation for being a great surgeon, as the rumor that he had marred his own daughter's face on the operating table spread across the country. Her father soon put her out on the street, hoping to put the source of his shame far from him.

But, Elena didn't seem too unhappy with that. She had discovered that the pins in her mouth were very interesting, indeed. They resonated with her soul. And, when she opened her scarred red mouth to reveal the glinting metal inside, people lost it; went insane. She realized that, just like the obsidian scalpel her father had held precious as his artifact, the metal pins in her mouth were her artifact and she was sure there were better things she could do with them than cry and be left behind.
Appearance: Elena (http://i892.photobucket.com/albums/ac122/sleep_remedy/My%20Female%20RPCs/Welcome_to_Silent_Hillwonails_by_wr.jpg) is fairly short, but wears large boots that prop her up to a respectable 5'6". Her hair is inky black. It was once long and silky, but living on the road, she's neglected it and mostly just cuts the knots out, leaving the cut choppy and her hair frizzy. Her skin is pale and has various bruises and cuts. Most fellow travelers leave her be, as her eyes are strange. Usually hidden beneath her bangs, her eyes flash between indigo and red, depending on her mood. Her clothing is usually dirty and the bandages over her mouth are often black with dirty blood and discharge from her wounds.
