Hello and welcome!

Finally time for the roleplay I promised possibly a month ago or so...
Anyway...

I've spoiler tagged the longer peices of information.

Rules :

No godmoding characters, don't create a character that cannot get hurt.

No magic blasting, the characters need to rest every so often depending on the spells effects and range.

Do not control another user's character without permission, ask first and make sure to follow the characters personality to the best of your ability.

If you have to leave for some reason, please try to make sure you had your character over to someone else to control while you're away.
Otherwise, that character might be killed.

At max, I'll allow 3 important characters to each member, you can create NPC's for anyone to use.

There are 3 different races you can choose from.

Remalare: (Rem-a-lair)
A pale blue skinned humanoid, usually with silver or grey hair. Their ears stick out and hang down. The race has more female than male important figures and their 15 greatest fighters are also more likely to be taught the way of ice magic rather than anyone else in their kingdom.
Remalare live extended lives, an extra 100 years similar to Elves, their appearance often stops ageing at 50-60, an age of wisdom and experience.

Diagan: (Dee-a-gan)
A beast-like humanoid creature, their large size and muscular figures put fear into their enemies, although in actuality, they are quite peaceful and only produce one type of weapon, steel claws, even then, they are mainly used for the cutting of plants and catching their food.
Diagan that leave their homeland often learn to use other weapons, although they are forbidden to return to their homeland unless the Diagan kind are involved in a war.

Human:
Human are noble and strict people, unforgiving and trapped by their own greatness and fear.
Most humans in Welstarm live in some form of nobility, with very little poverty, the kingdom is regarded to be one of the most financially advanced compared to the others of the human race.
At the same time, making it a worthwhile target for raids.

Nickname:
Race:
Age:

Gods and Godesses


Each race has their own personal religion and Gods.

Garvoras, the Godess of the Dragons and Silver.
Godess to the Remalare people.

Randelius, the First God of War and Hammers, created the First Being in his own likeness, although, in storytelling, the First being is redesigned to look like a member of whichever race is telling the story.
God of the humans.

Gervaros, the God of creation and gold, said to be the creator of the world and royalty, although there is much debate in the community of scholars and wisemen.
Said to be god of all, and also said to be fabricated.

Forastara , the Godess of life and birth, said to be the Creator of the world and its people.
Godess of the Diagan people.



Other
Ruined ones:
Not a true race, but rather a group of changed beings, once peaceful people, now large golem type beings in an eternal berserker rage. Rarely do they stop when they see something they want to kill.
There is no known reasoning for why the people became the Ruined Ones, only that it may have happened by way of Uxire, the keeper of the Dead, an alternate reason could be they are the Underground Shadows, a race of monsters or people that were lost ages ago.
They have huge muscular bodies, their skin is like some kind of leather, cutting into it is very difficult, arrows snap and swords crack.
Magic is the best weapon against these beast's.
Very few have been known to be killed, approxomitly, 7 heads have been claimed from the 54 that are known to be living.


-------------------------------------------

Well, I already have one character for myself done.


Full Name: Drake Willard
Nickname: N/A
Race:Human
Age:35
Appearance: A muscular and tall man, he often wears a suit of heavy green armour .
His casual clothes often consist of black trousers and shirt, green jacket and leather boots.
His jacket has the kingdoms emblem stitched into the sleeve.
He has shoulder length messy red hair and a light beard.
Job: Royal Knight and captain of his unit.
Weapon: Spear
Background: Joined the royal army at 26 after he proved himself to be more than capable of fighting multiple opponents in bar fights, the amount of times he was arrested got him into deep trouble, so he was given two options: fight for Welstarm or work in the gold mines.
He choose to fight, to get away from the pubs which was causing him nothing but grief, guilt and sadness.
In his time in the army, he’s visited multiple parts of the lands, his knowledge of the lands is unrivalled by many in his unit.
Personality: Quick to temper and to fight he is a poor battle planner, his manner of speech seems rough, but he means well. He doesn’t judge people by looks. He is slow to trust people and sometimes a single mistake someone would make would throw any chance of a decent friendship out of the window.



I'm hoping to start this when at least 5 people join for sure.
When we do start, it will be one day before the kingdom is transformed.


Currently in the World of Alsta
The group make it to Morento but find that they not exactly talk of the town, expecting to be immediatly put into an Inn of some sort, the group are left at the gate to do nothing.
Most of the group split up to find Xavier and put an end to him while others stay around to look for the Prince and get him to safety.

Bet ya glad to see me

Full Name: Damien Howler
Nickname: any part of his name
Race: Human
Age: 25 (though he acts older)
Appearance: Calm and collected, blonde hair and crimson eyes. He wears a variety of higher class clothing, though he rarely enjoys it he also has a strange tattoo on his neck. He is about 5 foot 9, he looks very youthful and is often mistaken for being younger. He is a rather slim, but very healthy.
Job: No job as such but he dabbles in work of all kinds.
Weapon: Well trained in a multiple of short range arms and prepared for use of long range arms. Though he most likes to use twin daggers and (combined with his quick foot training from dancing-all academies as I said) He is incredibly deadly with them. He carries a blunt pair at all times, more for show than to harm.
Background: Son of the Howlers, co-owners of an incredibly successful industry He has been tutored by some of the finest minds from a very young age in both academies and physical training.
Personality: He has alot of respect for those smarter or stronger than him but he looks down on all others. He has alot of respect for those smarter or stronger than him but he looks down on all others. For this reason he has always been a poor employee. He longs to be accepted and appreciated by a group of free thinking people like himself, though he has incredibly poor social skills (brought up in a higher class of people) and is often seen as cruel,cold and calculative
Life deal spirit name:

additional notes: I noticed he sounds a bit too So I thought 'I'd point out he really can be a bit of a cruel guy. If killing a little baby would save an airship full of people he'd do it in a second (calculative) and his only indecision is when choosing a weapon, though he actually despises war he loves to deliver a hypocritical judgement to those who love war and would kill innocents without reason.
As far as conversations go he will almost definitely kill the mood and leave his listeners in an awkward silence.

hope this sounds good

Posting for interest, i have a question though, could i be allowed to be the son of Welstarm's duke? Think of Luke from Tales of the Abyss. XD

Thanks for joining in!
Am glad!
Appreciated!


And, yes, I suppose you could be the Duke's son.
Haven't played Tales of the Abyss so I don't know much of his character.
But yeah, suppose you could be,

Yay! ^^
Ok i'ma post a bios later today or tommorow.

Full Name: Oliver Sarkon
Nickname: "Young Master"
Race: Human
Age: 19
Appearance:

Job: Duke's son
Weapon: A custom made rapier (Shown in picture), whose form resembles a rose. It's mostly for decoration but he knows how to use it if necessary.
Background:
Son of the Duke, he always kept himself shut off from the rest of the world, reading books at home, talking to his house's employees or practicing fencing. He doesn't care much about finding a cure for the kingdom, and he considers it mostly just a big distraction.
Personality: Whiny and hot-headed, he doesn't like being ordered around nor likes when he is ignored.However, he is a very persuasive person and is actually very clever, the thing is, usually he uses his qualities to bother other people or make either ironic or sinic comments.

I think the more diverse the characters the better. 7 random nobodies is just too :/

good games always have characters from all over the place and from all levels of nobility.

Okayzors, i updated my previous post with my BIOS. Please do tell me if there's anything you think that needs fixing.

It's fine., Nicsp.



True point.

ooooo I sense a rivalry (friendly rivalry) between our guys nicsp

looking forward to this just need a few more members and we can start, seeing as how peeps can join (and die ) whenever.

*Looks around* Jeez, another sausage fest... Well, somebody's got to play a girl. Why not me?

Full Name: Agatha Christina Asimov
Nickname: Aggie
Race: Human
Age: 16
Appearance (I have a sketch; I'll scan it sometime later): Aggie is a teenage girl of average height. Her figure is slender, with narrow hips and a small chest (and she is very sensitive about the latter.) She has thick red hair that falls to her waist, and is usually worn up in two bushy tails on the sides of her head. Her face is dominated by enormous, deep green eyes and a light dusting of freckles. She has a fake seal on her right wrist; it's just an ordinary tattoo, but it's convincing enough that all but the most astute believe she's a contracted rather than natural spell caster. She dresses modestly, often in a slightly over-sized sweater and knee-length skirt and stockings, and has a preference for the color green. Over her clothes she usually wears a white jacket with a four-leaf clover and the word "Lucky Girl" printed on the back. She keeps a broom strapped across her back. It's a normal broom (in less than stellar repair), but Aggie is hellbent on making it fly one day.
Job (such as it is): Sorceress
Weapon: Aggie's never had any battle training. She relies entirely on her magic, though if cornered, she swings a mean broom.
Background: Aggie was raised at an orphanage, abandoned by her parents as an infant. She was an active child with an insatiable curiosity, frequently running away. During the last such episode, two years ago, she was attacked by a monster and almost killed when her powers emerged, roasting the creature in a ball of fire. She decided to not go back, and took off into the wilderness. For the last two years, she's been a wanderer, making a living by using her powers to do odd jobs and occasional charity from strangers. Her grasp of her powers is still incomplete (and she's prone to "oopsie" moments), but she's improving steadily.
Personality: Aggie is cheerful, impulsive, and more than a little arrogant, especially where her powers are concerned. She's good-natured, and tries to be friendly, but her attempts are spoiled by a natural inclination towards rudeness. She's afraid of being persecuted for her powers, to the point where she's had a fake seal tattooed on her wrist and has invented a phony life spirit for herself. She enjoys cooking, and has a tolerance for spicy foods that puts grown men to shame. She prefers her nickname over her given name; Agatha, she insists, is an old lady name.
Life Spirit Name: She doesn't have one, but she pretends to have one named Minuet after a pet mouse she used to have. However, the "spirit" Minuet is a human woman who supposedly died in a fire (Aggie constructed a complete life story for her, or rather ripped it off from a novel she read once). Aggie's gotten pretty good at having it "manifest" via an illusion cantrip.

I was thinking the same thing
Also there seems to be more humans then... anything actually

Full Name: Sari' Nul Lortildion
Nickname: Sari
Race: Remalare
Age: True age is around 50, appears to look like 20. You don't ask a lady of her age!
Appearance: Quite slender and quite short for her age, but got a silver shimmering hair as long as her self, often tied up together to avoid tripping on it or getting it caught up in objects. She usually wear a one piece dress, a long black and white one with several small decorations on, like ribbons and such. It looks fancy but is in fact self made.
Job: She works as a baker, making bread and other sweets.
Weapon: What ever she can get her hands on
Background: Sari' Nul's parents where both successful mages and wanted their daughter to be the same, but she didn't want to waste her life, as she saw it, to be a mage. She wanted to go a smaller path and started a bakery in her home town, a small town at the border of Welstarm. Her parents let her do as she wanted, she was still very young and had not gained alot of experience in life. Lately Sari' Nul have been noticing stalkers following her around, she as no idea who or what the want. Also there are many rumours about the kingdom turning to stone.
Personality: Sari' Nul is a happy go lucky gal, she doesn't like heavy responsibility and often tries to stay away from the heavy loads of work such as being a mage. She is a nice gal who doesn't discriminate between the races, very social at her job as she's quite the chatter box sometimes.

Ooh

Full Name: Amadorusi Denoda
Nickname: Amado
Race: Remalare
Age: 138 (appears about 31)
Appearance: Slightly taller than average, and rather thin. His skin is pale blue with just the slightest hint of green. He has neatly trimmed white hair. Pale yellow eyes. He generally wears fairly formal handmade clothing.
Job: Tailor
Weapon: Scissors, used as a knife.

Background: He took up tailoring after the death of his father. Initially, he planned to go serve in the military, but he did not want to abandon his remaining family.
Personality: Amado tries to keep up a pleasant appearance, but deep down is rather pessimistic. He tries to avoid confrontation unless he is sure he can with the fight. He enjoys detail work with his hands, and is very patient. He favors tradition over new ideas, and uses tailoring techniques that have been in his family for ages.
Life deal spirit name: Ja'anid Synnik

Your profiles look good, thanks for joining in.

I'll have to ask those that choose the Remalare race to add an age they would appear as and their true age since they live a extra hundred years, similar to elves.

I'm going to leave this open for a few more hours or so more before properly starting.
Just to mainly make sure everything looks right on the information, cause I've left out so much in terms of detail, like the Remalare age difference.

I Edited to age, My remalare is very young soooo... Anyway, cant wait to get it started

Pac, Hero, I hate the both of you! I thought I was going to be the only Remalare lol. Guess I'll be the first Diagan! kickass! =D

Full Name: Nobu Ishimak
Nickname: Nobu
Race: Diagan
Age: 19
Appearance:

Nobu stands at 5'11 and weighs around 165 Ibs. Blood shot red eyes, long blonde hair that reaches his shoulders. Underneath the huge overweight coat, Nobu's beast-like body is revealed. Though he is much more slim than the rest of his kind, and a little less muscler. He wears black camo pants, with leather & steel plated boots. He is Diagan, however, on the contrary, he looks more human in the face than most, with the exception of his sharp teeth.

Job: Rogue
Weapon: Two steel-bladed claws strapped to both hands.
Background: Growing up, Nobu was often teased by his own race about his appearance. He looked more human in the face. He was often called other historic names such as "vampire" due to his human face with sharp teeth. Ashamed as a kid, Nobu hid his Diagan features by dressing his entire body with overweight clothing. As he got older, he grew tired of the teasing. After stealing a pair of steel-bladed claws from his neighbor who was a weapons smith, he nervously murdered one of his own kind and fled and branded himself as a rogue Diagan, who hated his own race.
Personality: Charming but psychotic, blood thirsty but satisfied. Though Nobu's movement and actions can seem intimidating, he is really calm amongst others. Unpredictable, he may burst out in a shout of insane laughter at times, or may say or do things that doesn't seem normal to everyone else. Hard to judge whether he is good or bad.
Life deal spirit name: N/A

So ready for this to start lol

Welcome to the RP Spirit Master X

RP is up
http://www.rpgrevolution.com/forums/index....showtopic=34987
Join in and post everyone!

Yeah, i posted, i'm wondering, would you like me to post a BIOS for Jeeves too? He prolly won't show up too much but...

If you want too, completely up to you.

I think I just missed nicsp, wanted to ask if I could mention his character in my post

guess I'll have to either edit my post when he replies of wait. seeing as both me ands his characters are noble it would make sense that they may of met

So I'll post once I have an answer to my problem

Okay, here it is.

Full Name: Jillard Warpon
Nickname: Jeeves
Race: Human
Age: 76
Appearance:

Job: Butler/ Ex-Military
Weapon: A small short blade hidden inside his cane.
Background:
A friend of the Duke, he served in the army for many years, after retiring himself at the age of 40 he became the Duke's butler, he's also Oliver's fencing teacher.
Personality:
Quiet and calm, he usually spents most of his time taking care of the flowers in the Duke's manor or teaching fencing to Oliver, he doesn't like being still, despite his age, he always likes to be in constant movement or working. He's very gentle to most people, except criminals and drunkards.

Also, i get the feeling my house's about to get raided, lol.

No it isn't >_>

not if I can stop it

This is gonna be so awesome! And doomsday haven't even started yet! lol

atleast we'll have an intriguing backstory

Exactly. Hell, I haven't been this excited about a role-play since Persona 3: Another Path lol.

Ya don't suppose we should choose a winner here do ya?

I'm thinking you could injure me (or I get a good blow in but the initial blow+summoning my spirit in sword form leave me to hurt to continue) then leave to rob Oliver, when you get there he defends himself, I show up and between us we fight then you leave to get someone on your team, only to find yourself double crossed. You are imprisoned but when the kingdom goes to hell you escape and come back after us

Just an idea, pulls all the story in quite nicely. Just think we should write in a direction, what do you think should happen next?

Haha, I love the show you guys put on so far

I can't wait to see this unfold

cheers, I think my guy is losing

No dude, I seriously could not find any other way to dodge Damien's sword after he pointed it in the air. I mean, you can't beat gravity, unless you can fly, and due to gravity it pushed Nobu to fall on Damien's sword. I was like, crap! I can't escape this! lol. But about the story thing, I agree with everything else except the part where Nobu comes after everybody.

Nobu isn't really that evil to go off and kill everyone, but he really isn't all that nice either. He's the neutral type. To be honest, he's the negotiating type. Though he can fight, he prefer business over blood. I was hoping that Nobu would turn out to be the teammate that others hate, but feel like they have to respect him as a member as well. And over time, I don't know, guess we'll see how the relationships start to differ.

I thought it could end in a kind of crisis situation where we have to get along or we'll all die, so we settle our past fights and work together.

As for the now I was quite happy with that outcome (sorry about the shoulder)
Still my character used a complex spell and is on his way out the door I've set us up a timer now with the guards coming, next move is yours I believe, unless DarkBlade wants to be the guard that stop us Still I am thoroughly enjoying this story so far, problem is, I'm gonna have to send Franklyn back the way he came Which essentially will knock Damien out

Perhaps reward could influence his mind.

If they are able to save the kingdom somehow, their could be reward in his grasp.
A pardon for his murder? Unlikely due to the rules of the Diagan and Humans be different in their respective homelands.

There are alot of nobles in the RP, surely someone could rub the judges with golden butter and get Nobu off the hook. The argument would look like this
'Why should we help him!'
'The world is ending, do you want a ravenous man-beast for or against you'
'You make a good argument'
*Nobu has joined the team ^-^*

anyway, feel like breaking up our fight before one of us dies?

It will be broken up for sure.

Already broke it lol. I have to get get ready to go back to school soon, anyway. Damn community college! lol.

nice finish, next time we meet I'm opening with
'let's tango!' lol

and I'd say college has gotta be atleast a little better than school

Jeez. I was at work and missed the whole fight! Curse my blue-collar, low-paying job!

Anyway, I like Sparrow's direction for the story, but if Nobu knows Aggie helped Damien in that fight, I imagine it's going to take some very fast talking on her part to keep her guts inside her body .

As soon as his organs aren't upside down Damien shall help you back

Lol. Anyone thinks we should time-skip to nightfall?

Question: In character descriptions, can you add some sort of relation to prexisting characters that have already signed up? I'm aware that it may require permission from the role player to do so.

Also, is there a limit as to how many people can participate in this role play?

I dont think its to late to sign up, and I dont think its impossible to make a pre exiting relation with other, just as you said, ask before hand

I wonder who he wants to relate his character to? lol

Nope, not to late to join in just yet.

As a matter of fact, when the Airship leaves, that will be the final chance for anyone to join in, it will put on temporary close since the group will be traveling alone to another city.
Although, on the Airship, their will be a bunch of nameless passengers which you can join as.

Thats why I've been taking it so slow, so people can sign up.



Yeah, I'll add the character relation to the sign up list.
If anyone wants to add parents and family pets to it, you can do so, otherwise its not nessercery unless you want to introduce them to the RP or reference them.
And yeah, if anyone else wants to be a relative to another player, please ask first.

As for member spaces, hadn't thought of that, 10 at max.


We'll have to wait and see.


If everyones fine with going to night fall, then we can do so.

IMPORTANT
You MUST make sure to get your character to the sky docks when the time comes for Welstarm to get stoned and high (lol).
Otherwise, your character will also get stoned or forced to travel by foot.
We wouldn't want that now would we.

Welstarm won't be transformed today however, so you do have time to prepare.

Or raid as it looks

I messaged Nicsp about Oliver and got a link going between him and Damien, it made it alot easier to bring oliver into the current events and I think it worked out rather well.

So I think it's great if we conspire pre-posting, it adds direction to the RP.
As for characters. they could even join in a later town (though this would require us to inform them) I'd say we should limit joining until just after the first town we arrive at. We're even going to be attacked by sky pirates, so what about prisoners who escape and pirates who change sides.
Possibility for joining in is endless in an RP like this, but would be a waste after 1/4 in.

Up to Lord DarkBlade to decide the rules though

I was trying to decide what to do with Nobu at this moment. Either get him to go to go see Damien and his injuries (See, he's not so bad lol) or do something else. Since no one told him the information about the Lortildion mansion, getting in touch with Sari is a no go.

I thought you were gonna ask the bum about that, since he was your infomat after all

Damien is having sugar cravings, feed him or he'll die

sorry, I have a slight passion for physics and had to make the laws of energy take effect, if anyone can give him a sword made out of sugar he will be OK again

And yes, ask the informant ,he is all knowing (and therefore must die ) And do come visit me, I want Liza to kick you in teh face

Well, he didn't know Damien and Nobu got into a scrap, besides, he was asleep the whole time lol.



That'll be hott >_>

hey, whatever floats your boat

I have no problem with people joining in different towns.
Although pirates switching sides worries, they never seem to stick to one side.
As for prisnors, if the prisnors are on the pirates side, that means the survivors will need to win against the pirates, its not a battle I want them to win, but if you all want it then I don't mind, perhaps a pirate could have stayed in Welstarm at one point and wants to try to save it.

Pirates are hard to trust, so if someone takes one up as a character, expect them to be hated by the more morally good characters.


And yes, everyone should call me Lord Darkblade from now on! XD
It will please me greatly, lol.
