    Mature Burning Battlion: A War of Earth and Steel [M]

    Setting:
    If there was a time that the Kingdom of Famus and the Republic of Grandus were allied nations it was a time history long forgotten. For the longest time it was a simple war, fought by men with steel in their hands, they kept other smaller nations out of their quarrel and kept to the battlefields like our forefathers but neither side was achieving anything from that. Soon enough resources began to wane for both sides as the prolonged stalemate bared no fruits of progress and that’s when this simple war between two nations became more complicated. Both sides began to resort to more dishonorable methods, raiding villages for supplies, resorting to imperialism as both Famus and Grandus took over other smaller and weaker neighboring countries for militaristic advantages against each other, using either empty promises of protection from the opposing nation or threats of raiding and pillaging. Over the decades, the war demanded changes and advancements in attempts to end this seemingly endless war, first came the loud guns then the fouls machines and now there’s Ungodly Arcanist. No one knows how they came to be nor how long they existed, but it didn’t take long for the warring nations to take advantage of these gifted individuals. Masters of the elements, these people were first feared by the common folk for good reasons which made them a priceless resource and deadly weapon for either side. Recruiting as many as they can find, both nations promised fortunes for their loyalty and service and though some resisted, opposed to fighting in such a pointless war, they would have their loved one’s lives threatened if refused, coercing their service instead. Now, with a war of machines and magic grows more so with every passing generation, the common folk try their best to avoid the problems of politics. This war has long become a part of the lives of everyone, the wealthy few that try to move too far off nations to live in peace do so in secret of their governments to avoid prosecution...or worse. Will there be an end to the conflict between these Nations...or will the end be something far worse?

    Kingdoms
    FAMUS:
    As the Kingdom of Famus reside in great hills in a pasture as far as the eye can see, the need for proper education of the world around them was dwarfed by the need of food from the many farms around them. Many of the people of Famus would treat your average Arcanist with awe or fear. None of them dare lay a finger on them for every single Arcanist is property of the Monarch of Famus, and degradation of royal property would be a life sentence. The Famus Arcanist themselves live good lives when their off the battlefield as their paid sizable wages being in the king's service though it's not much higher than the average merchant for the wealth of Famus is spread out quite evenly for its heavily agricultural based income.
    GRANDUS:
    With the smoke from the various factories that manufactures the many different weapons for the Army, the Republic of Grandus is a polar opposite from it's more rural counterpart. It's not uncommon for a citizen of Grandus to hold a job in on of the many factories for the Republic has grown in technological advances over the years. The Grandus Arcanist are seen a those fortunate enough to win a genetic lottery into a far better life. With the power of a Arcanist, you are awarded a more aristocratic lifestyle as they are given a more then generous wage in service to the republic while the common folk are off "slaving away" as they put it in the factories to make ends meet. A sense of bitter jealousy can be tasted in the smog of Grandus between the classes.

    Rules:
    1. Be respectful of other players
    2. No god-modding or power plays. Write out fight scenes with a willing player
    3. DO NOT KILL Another character without their permission
    4.Skip overtly violent or sexual scenes

    5. Try to post at least once a day or notify in OOC if going to be away. Try not to get involved in a scene and disappear, character will be written out of that scene until your return

    Name: Hestia Cauld
    Age: 25
    Appearance:
    Hestia stands at 5'8 with a slender, yet muscular build. She still has the hints of a curvy figure complimented by a full bosom and voluptuous backside. Her hair are long, bouncy vermilion curls usually pinned back. Her skin is pale like moonlight and freckles highlight her oval face. Bangs fall over her cat-like and light green eyes.
    Loyalty: Famus
    Power: Fire
    Background:
    Hestia grew up as an only child with her mother and father. Hestia's mother, Hera, had served in the great war as an honored officer. Hestia's father,Bruce, is a local butcher for the townspeople. On her mother's side generations of fire arcanists had served during the war. Unfortunately Hera died when Hestia turned 18 during an epic battle. Hera is now renowned and a statue is erected of her in the courtyards of one of the training schools for arcanists. Hestia prior to her mother's death had hard military training from her mother at a young age, starting at age 6. Hestia had always shown her powers around the time she was able to walk. After many hard years of training Hestia took up the mantle of the family legacy at 18 when she graduated from boot camp. Since then she has been fighting non-stop in the wars and has seen countless battles. She continues to defend Famus, even though sometimes she questions why the two nations are at war. and if this is the correct course of action. However, she has never shared these inner thoughts with anyone. Hestia's childhood was lonely with her mother always away fighting and her father busy working at the butcher shop. The only close person to her besides her family is Xavier, her childhood friend. He use to be her old sparring buddy growing up and is now her most trusted confidant, especially in this time of war.

    Name: Xavier Farrus
    Age:29
    Appearance: Coming in 5’ 11”. Xavier is a slender fit caramel skinned, pale eyed man with long white locked hair. He can be seen walking with a slight limp at times as he carried his silver cane with him.
    Loyalty: Famus?
    Power: Lightning
    Background: Being the third born son of seven children of a crop farmer, Xavier didn’t stand out in any way growing up. His older sibling helped their parents care for the farm and sell their harvest while his younger siblings were too young in their age to help at all so he is tasked to look after them while his parents and older sibling are away. At first Xavier didn’t mind his place in the family for he understood that with a big family like his, someone had to maintain vigilance over the children but over the year he grew curious of the world around him, with the war still raging, he would see the soldiers go in and out of his small village, sometimes in numbers less than they left. The Arcanist would always lead these men and women out to the battlefields and he would always be so curious of them and their supposed “power” over the elements, but his curiosity would be quenched soon after his 12th birthday when his “powers” blossomed as one day thunderstorm came over his village and he was running home in the rain when suddenly multiple bolts of lightning struck him, at first it terrified him into slipping into a muddy ditch and breaking his right leg into a grotesque angle. As he groaned in pain, he tried his best to crawl out of the ditch and on his way home when another bolt of lightning struck him...and then another...but soon Xavier noticed that that brought him no further pain than his broken leg; in fact, his broken leg was the only pain he felt, the bolts of lightning made him feel euphoric and bursting with great energy, so much of it that he got on his two feet and ran the rest of way home in breakneck speed with the sound of a loud boom following behind him, he completely forgot about his broken leg.
    Arriving home in a white flash of speed as electricity emmenated from his body constantly, his mother saw him first as she of course worried about her son and was soon met with the white light that turned into Xavier, giggling from the euphoria. His mother, on the other hand, was shocked and terrified at what she was witnessing first hand and Xavier noticed this immediately as no one ever looked at him like that before but this would be a common trend soon enough.
    It didn’t take long for the King’s men to arrive and take Xavier off for his training which his older siblings were reluctant as their both were well in the age to seen as adults themselves but both of his parents allowed Xavier to be whist off for he would be already the black sheep of the family, none of the other children exhibit any powers besides him and it was a rarity for someone as old as Xavier to start showing his “gifts” since most Arcanist tend to show their powers as early as six months outside of the womb. He was a “Late-Bloomer” as the men put it, and he would be largely behind his peers when he would be eventually enlisted into the King’s Service.
    So with all of the fussing and fighting, Xavier just left with men in a limp (neither of his parents bothered to call a doctor after the incident), the boy didn’t resist, he went with the men without a word for he could never forget the look of terror his mother gave him, to this day it still haunts him.
    As his life rapidly changed, Xavier figured out that he would have to change just as fast, as his training was merciless to compensate for him being so far behind other Arcanist his age he eventually took a hint to push himself harder. He studied when others slept, trained when others grew weary, and fought when many would have fallen. Perhaps he got accustomed to the life of an Arcanist too quickly but with his circumstances he didn’t have much of a choice. He came from a farmer with too many children that giving one away to the King was nothing, he wasn’t born into an Arcanist family like the others, he was just Xavier. Along the way, he met his first friend, Hestia, or as he would call her the “Little Fire-Cracker” for her small stature but loud temper. They quickly became good friends despite their age difference and he would show her a couple things about magic and such since he was already excelling in his classes at that point.
    Soon Xavier earned an early promotion at 16, two years before most Arcanist were allowed to graduate but the Magistrate noticed the boy’s drive and motivation.
    Of course, Xavier was ecstatic to see his hard work noticed, he was the envy of the school at that point but then it didn’t take long for that feeling of elation to be met with the horrifying reality of war. With many men and women dying on the battlefields, Xavier soon realized the gravity of the war and why some soldiers did not come back…
    Years of fighting and killing changed him, he was once just a simple farm boy with a family...now he’s an Arcanist that lucky enough to survive over a decade of this war...but how many more years does he have left?

    Name: Otto Von Schmidt
    Age: 27
    Appearance: Otto is a regal man with neatly combed black hair. His skin is pale and his eyes are gunmetal grey. He carries himself with an air of confidence and condescension. His clothes are in dark greys and blacks, with a single blue handkerchief. He is constantly spotless. He wears a bracer of curled steel around his right arm that he can manipulate into a sword.
    Loyalty: Grandus Forever.
    Power: Earth, with a specialty in metals
    Background: Born of a street urchin, Otto spent his formative years slinking in shadows, stealing food, and fighting to survive. At the age of 13, he was caught stealing and brought to a guard. The guard was known as a corrupt one, taking bribes, sometimes by force. The guard drew a dagger and meant to stab Otto and take what he could. He almost succeeded, but to everyone's surprise, Otto caused the dagger to fly from the man's hands. He caused the ground to shake and open up. The guard was found one week later, nearly unrecognizable. Bystanders to the event brought Otto to a more respectable town official, who reported him to the crown. He was lifted from his life of poverty and made a noble, provided he helped the military. He honed his skills of metal and earth until he could create walls of stone in moments and make other's swords leap from their hands and cut them.

    Sorry I haven't posted in a while. My sleep schedule is all kinds of messed up. I'll try and get a post up soon, but that might be tomorrow.

    Hey guys. I'm having trouble coming up with ideas, on top of my stuff IRL. So for now, please continue the roleplay without me. I will jump back in eventually, most likely very soon. But for now, you can go on without me. Sorry for the inconvenience.

    I apologize if our lack of character interaction is part of the cause. You are a very talented and wonderful role player. I hope you do return. Our characters will be established in Grandus soon and then the RP might offer you something more. If you do not return, good luck in life and in future role plays!
