Scheming bastards who only wish to further their own needs, killing and destroying other people's lives in order to do so...I was a fool to think that way...not anymore." Character Sheet: Name: Tolan Cruz. Age: 64 Gender: Male Race: Grey Appearance: Tolan and his Granddaughter...before the gods attacked. Under the coat he has a large scar over his right cheek, grey-ish black hair due to age, he appears to be a medium-to heavy build. Very very fit, even for a Grey, and his age. Abilities: "Moonlight's crescent magic" "This blasted thing, that binds me to this world, its what these so called 'gods' bestowed upon me and my clan, and exactly what I will use to wipe them out..." Tolan and those of his small clan wield a special kind of magic, inherited through generations of rituals and communication with the "Moon lord" A god which had disappeared along with the others...Called the "Luna clan" Who paid homage to the moon and its magic. Tolan's magic is not exactly moonlight, it feels holy in its essence and may be confused with a holy energy, but it is far from holy, in fact. It is PURE magic. It is only called Moonlight's crescent. Because of its coloration and the fact that when the moon hangs over the sky, its power increases drasticaly, however it is still very powerful during the day and out of the light of the moon. Tolan always showed an affinity with the magic ever since a young age. Tolan may use this moonlight as a multi-use sort of spell, to cast powerful magic against his enemies, teleport himself, teleport others, project items and other things with Moonlight, and many other uses. Tolan may use it to complement his physical combat prowess as well as his ranged combat skills, and even his hunting skills.

Moonlight however, like the rare silver is especially effective against non-human beings such as monsters, ghosts or even gods.

The sword can fire projectiles with some slashes, create magical explosions that harm all around it except the user.

Tolan cares little for authority figures, only doing what he thinks is right by himself and his friends and loved ones. He is rather blunt, rude and silent to whoever he doesn't know or doesn't trust. However as one warms up to him he will become more friendly, caring and thoughtful. Loyal to a fault as well.

Clouded Sun 1,232 Posted October 22, 2016 (edited) Name:Seth Astreal Age:18 Gender:Male Race:Human Appearance (don't sweat it if you can't find an image of gray skinned people, just use a regular image and say they have gray skin): FACE Clothing: Wears a black-with-blue-trim collared, sleeveless sweatshirt and tank top. Designed on the back of the sweater is an emblem of a gear. Wears a dark blue drab and black pants, a gear-buckled belt, a ring on his left middle finger crafted like a skull, and a gold earring stud with a blue gem in the middle. Gear Emblem (Blue and White) Abilities (this includes magic, godly powers, or assorted abnormal skills): -Conduit- Able to absorb and manipulate both artificial (magic created by other people) or natural elements of magic (including fire, ice, and thunder). First abilities include channeling Fire, Ice, and Thunder Later on, can Channel Water, Stone, Metal and Posion Late game, can Channel Life Force (of living things), Pure Energy (like atomic forces), Creation (Spells that craft items with abnormal properties) and Divine Element (like light and darkness) CANNOT CHANNEL Magic spells that require mind-to-mind communication (i.e. Spells that initiate telekinesis, hypnosis, etc.,), spells that animate inanimate objects (i.e. throwing swords, making puppets dance) and spells that require a draining amount of life force or energy THE TOLL on Seth is a temporary sluggishness throughout the body and crippling of the arm he absorbs with. Effective anywhere between 15 minutes to an hour depending on the spell's intensity, uniqueness, and effect (Such as amount of people it hits, side effects, etc.) SETH HIMSELF CANNOT CONJURE MAGIC, EVEN IF HE CHANTS THE SPELL. He will always require external sources. Weapons (Greys use only a single weapon, make note of whether this is the weapon they've had since the ritual or not): Recensere Merely a piece of scrap metal that Seth found within a peddler's shop. It is a silver hilt of a blade long since shattered, with a golden gem in the middle of the blade, gold-colored aluminum fins, and a red and black ribbon wrapped around the shaft. The Recensere has holes throughout itself that Seth can channel elemental magic through, acting as a sword, a greatsword, a katana, or a shiruken. Personality: Seth isn't a tough nut to crack; he's clearly expressive and straightforward when it comes to his emotions. Taken as that may be, he does try to seem much more mysterious and cool than he actually is. Seth definitely minds a challenge, as he is adamant about besting situations he doesn't always seem fit for, and reaching out of his comfort zone in everything but how he feels. This especially comes through in his cooking, where most of the time his meals are delicious, but when he gets adventurous is when things may go wrong... Conversely, his new ideas lead him to invent or propose to others things to invent or fix, as he's well versed in the atmosphere of weapons and armor crafting in advanced human society. Seth disdains authority and the divine, and will try anything in his power to refute and disprove that there is any form of fate that rules the lives of people. He never gets hung up on stuff that can be fixed; "If there's a way to make it work, why bother stressing? Fix it!" Bio: Seth understands and empathizes with tragedy, but he himself has led a normal life in human civilization. He's toiled through life in the city, having to learn how to deal with urban life. In it, he became a blacksmith by day, crafting his own weapon and enhancing weapons, ancient or new, and his own connoisseur by night, shopping and cooking different foods and trying exotic recipes, sometimes with an unwanted twist. Growing up, he was actually very rebellious and mischievous despite his intelligence, Miscellaneous: Seth loves, in hobby, to cook and music. Singing, dancing, and overall performances enchant him.

Saber Lily 1,543 Posted October 22, 2016 It was originally structured as an RPG, so there remain some very game-like concepts. Regardless, you should definitely join, I have lots of ideas and it promises to be lots of fun. Name: Falling Boulder So if I made a character named the Sightless Rogue, would you hurt me...mister...THE BOULDER. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arya Stark 1,337 Posted October 23, 2016 I really need to join this! I will bring my favorite crazy, emotional detached elf, Rabs, into this conflict, before she got her most destructive magic spells and all kinds of artifacts. But I will do it in the morning because I'm very tired right now EDIT: Ok! I did it. Now to wait. Name: Eliltari Age: 495 Gender: Female Race: Elf Appearance: Abilities: Wields a vast repertory of elemental magics, both for Offensive or Defensive situations. Mostly stays with the "good" side of magic, but other elves say that the Lady of the Mist is far gone into the deeps of dark magic that she could destroy a while city or rise the dead with forbidden spells. She also has the ability of psychokinesis Weapons: Bows, swords and daggers. Personality: Emotional detached to mostly everyone she meets, not because she sufferes from it, but because it let her take choices without getting emotionally attached to something or someone. She can be a little strange sometimes, talking with herself or saying things bluntly. She can be caring with those who she deem her friends and would give her life to protect those people. She was a happy-go-lucky girl in her youth, but she slowly realized that the world was changing and so she had to change too. Bio: Eliltari was born and raised in the Elven Woods by her both her parents. She was the last of 3 siblings and the only female in the family besides her mother. She admired her father and her brothers for being part of the guard who protected the Queen, but there was a day when they did not come back, one by one they perished on the battlefield, leaving Eliltari and her mother by themselves. Eliltari learned magic from her mother, and later in her life she decided to join the guard. She was excellent wielding swords and a prodigy sharpshooter when a bow was in her hands. In recent years she had noticed strange things around the Queen and those close to her, there was also the fact that the Princess lost her way of speaking. Maybe the Queen, or someone close to her, could not be trusted. Perhaps the Princess was right all along. Eliltari wants to find the answers to those questions. Miscellaneous: In secret she is a pretty good craftswoman who makes magical items such as weapons and armors, also simple yet beautiful accessories to sell to help support her mother. There is also the fact that her cloak can change into mist, and that earned her the nickname of "Lady of the Mist" Accepted! hop in whenever/wherever you like!

An omega (normal) META shoots a beam of energy that emulates the size, weight, and power of a particular weapon, becoming one of four things (a shiruken, a longsword, a greatsword, or a katana).

Your weapon in particular is a problem, given that I assume it's scientific based on what you've said. If it were magical, it's capabilities would be completely fine, I just don't want tech to be so advanced. And while I'm mentioning problems, it's worth noting that the modern school system is nonexistent. While reworking your character I'd ask that you remember that this is placed in a time period similar to our late medieval times, approaching the renaissance. And please don't take this as a critique of your writing, or me saying I don't want you, I just want the character to fit in with the world I've built, and for any misunderstanding you might have had to be cleared up. So if I made a character named the Sightless Rogue, would you hurt me...mister...THE BOULDER. This is a reference that I wish I got but do not. I'm very sorry Oath.

Nero Kunivas 3,046 Posted October 26, 2016 ....hmmmmmmm...let me answer the question of if I wish to join or not like this: Character Sheet: Name: Anthony Hackett Age: 37 (Ageing has ceased.) Gender: Male Race: Human (Physically Corrupted) Appearance: Abilities: Symbiotic Darkness: Unlike some would hope, this form of Darkness is totally impure and corrupts its users completely. This kind of power is understandably not used by the majority of people in this world, desperate measures or not, but Anthony did not make the choice to use the power; It was forced upon him. The use of Symbiotic Darkness, even in minor, infrequent usage, deeply affects the user in both body and spirit, so one can imagine what it would be like to be forced to bathe in this power. Anthony is blessed with great power but at considerable cost, as while he can freely manipulate dark energy, Darkness and the Shadows themselves, both via the typical fumes/flame-like auras or liquid shadows, his very being has been torn apart and defiled, his spirit crushed and forced to adapt to his new existence of perpetual pain and suffering. His body is capable of taking blows that would kill most men, given enough time to recover, he can heal from them, but the time required to do so practically requires him to be out of combat. Anthony no longer ages, thus he will never die of natural causes, instead he can only be killed in combat, though he does not object to the notion, his existence is one he wishes to be free of. For ease of travel, he can also make himself into a weightless Shadow Wraith to move faster and reach higher locations, this is possible due to his body being torn apart at the deepest level and it being held together by the very power that broke him. Doing this causes him even more pain, and even with his abnormally high threshold for it, he has to revert back some time just to make it stop or at least ease off, especially in combat where only a few seconds of usage could be considered sensible. This man wishes to just die so his torment can end, yet part of him, possibly a side of his mind either drunk on the power or his strong will, knows that with time, patience and training, he can control this power and make it his own. Currently, his power is unfocused and draining, any projectiles (Darkness Orbs, Dark Energy Waves etc.) are wild in appearance and their damage is spread out inefficiently, along with his combat style being animalistic and without the grace he used to possess. Weapons: The Greatsword pictured with him. Once simply named: Valiance. After his corruption, the tainted blade is now called: Precipice of Despair. Personality: Abrasive, cold, to-the-point and dark, Anthony is a far cry from his former self of nobility and even a positive attitude, though he has every reason to be so. Possessing a dry and snarky sense of humour, coupled with his bluntness, he never beats around the bush and won't hesitate to criticise the actions and mistakes of others, yet while he seems to do so cruelly and/or for his own amusement, he genuinely still has the best interests of others in mind, though he'll be very unlikely to speak it aloud. In many ways, combat is all he has left now, so he embraces this completely, whereas before he went into combat simply to fight off an opposition, he now takes delight in the action, seeking to fight powerful opponents and revelling in every exciting moment, he himself citing it as the only thing that makes him feel alive anymore. Bio: In the past, Anthony was a noble Knight of Xha, always adhering to his code and duty and his will never wavered, his loyalty to the Emperor never in question. He even had a family, with a loving wife and a young son, expecting another child soon even. He had always been interested in the Gods, often wondering why they were seemingly inconsequential now and if they'd ever be seen again...they would and not in the way he or others could have ever imagined. They did not hesitate, nor did they show mercy, wish to negotiate or give an opportunity for surrender...the Imperial Empire of Xha was decimated within a matter of days...by the very Gods that he was curious about. With all his might, he tried to defend his homeland, but it was futile. His attempts to protect the Emperor were futile and his efforts to save his family were to no avail and they perished in the chaos. His rage against the Gods was at breaking point, causing him to attempt to face off against them in combat to avenge all that had fallen. His feeble attempts to kill the Gods was met with a crushing defeat, his armour damaged, his body near-fatally wounded and his sword chipped and cracked from the strain. As he lay on the ground amidst the ruins of the Empire, a particularly sadistic and cruel God approached him; A God of Darkness and Shadow. Instead of granting him the swift release of death, the God sentenced Anthony to something far worse. With a quiet incantation followed by a violent expulsion of Darkness, Anthony was enveloped in a consuming, corrupting shadowy embrace, his blood quickly and painfully replaced with liquid shadow, his body torn apart at the seams, his soul subjugated and tainted and his whole being forever changed. Leaving him to convulse on the ground, the God of Darkness was quite pleased with themselves. Emerging from the remaining shadow a broken and disillusioned man, donned in a darker armour that was now essentially a part of him, he took up his blade that too had been submerged in the abyss and took to wandering the world. His anger great still against the Gods, his powers a blessing and a curse...yet he still could not exact his revenge, he would just be beaten again. Anthony has been left without an Empire to serve, no duty to uphold, no one to love and worse still: No purpose. Now he seeks either the easy way: Death. Or if he's lucky, which he's not at all convinced he can be anymore, something to give him that drive, that purpose...that push he needs to finally mean something again. Only then, can he grow stronger and serve a greater purpose...and one day, he will get his revenge. Miscellaneous: Anthony doesn't need food or drink anymore, it just breaks down inside him and provides no nutrition, he just drinks for the satisfaction. For clarification, while he was corrupted by a God, he is not a God or a Demigod himself, he is a Corrupted Human. He harbours an intense hatred for the Gods and even benevolent Gods are met with severe distrust from him. Theme: Yeah, yeah, I know. It was either that or Evanescence - Bring Me To Life. Though if all goes bad and he goes insane, I have a good theme for that too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCi7JP3jHQE Figure I'll have a better chance with this RP, cause you know, it's just starting.

Not impure or corrupt. nice I did shift my gaze unto your character sheet to make sure I didn't rip you off while I was making mine. I think Anthony would be envious of Henry.

Probably, or they'd just become good friends lol. Wonder what would happen If Henry lent some of his darkness to Anthony. Would it have any effect? 1 Nero Kunivas reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clouded Sun 1,232 Posted November 1, 2016 Gonna try to keep up with the RP, but if I'm not here for a while (it's not gonna be a long time), then it's cause of college applications. Just wanted to apologize and let everyone know in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clouded Sun 1,232 Posted November 9, 2016 I really like how the RP takes four different points in the story and connects them to the world. Will the characters ever join together/fight each other at some point? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arya Stark 1,337 Posted November 10, 2016 With any luck, things should come together like that. The thing about how I set it up was that there were many different places for a character to be, so I wanted to offer the utmost conformity to this. Once the initial conflicts like the fight with the Gods in Xha and the robbing of the Elven treasury begin wrapping up, I hope to be pushing characters (especially the ones in Xha as the region has a later game conflict compared to the other regions) towards each other. What I don't want to happen is for it to be just me interacting with a single player, I hope to get all the players interacting with each other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
