"This is a tale of souls and swords, transcending the world and all it's history told, for all eternity."
The year is 1589, 5 years after the first appearance of the cursed sword. This sword holds demonic powers, and grants the user a great source of unlimited strength.. however no one can control the wrath of this blade. Many heroes from distant countries search for the cursed sword, maybe to destroy it.. maybe to wield it.

I believe "Ethnicity" would be better than "Race", you also didn't put an "Apperance" slot, i'll make it. But anyways...

Ethnicity: Portuguese

Sex: Male

Reason you want Soul Edge: Wants to use it's power to heal his daughter's disease.

Side: Neutral, will ally and unally everyone depending on the circumstances

Personality: Cold and quiet, his outside calm and uncaring attitude hides a loving father.

Appearance: With and without armor



small bio: Worked mostly as a mercenary, after his daughter, Melinda, was inflicted with a terrible and uncurable illness (Symptons symilar to tuberculosis) he focused all of his resources and money to try to cure her disease or at least keep her alive, his sources led him to Soul Edge, a sword whose power might be able to even cure his daughter's disease.

Ultimate Weapon: Dual "Blood Blades" (Sacrificial blades used by an Illuminati cult.)

@Scriptless, i'm interested. But what's happening? What's the backstory, or how are you going to lead this on? smile.gif
Kisuke Urahara
Yeah I was going to ask (out posted) i have no Idea what is going on or where this is going to go, If it started like this I could post and say (input character name) Had found the blade the end.
Scriptless
A legendary sword has been summoned to the land you're job is to find it. It has mighty powers but can posses you.
Sparrowsmith
and how are we meant to find it?
Scriptless
plots mai dear friend, plots. tongue.gif
Kisuke Urahara
back story ?
are we in the same world as this one?
Any specific area?
And... GIVE US A PLACE TO START FROM!
Scriptless
This is the RP sign up not the RP it self, you are responsible for where your character starts.
Kisuke Urahara
but we(mabey its just me) have verturally no understanding of what is going on!
why do we even know about the sword.
how are we meant to follow any leads to its location
Scriptless
I don't see what's so hard to understand, you start in your own country or wherever the hell you want you eventually meet up with people and eventually find leads. IT'S CALLED WRITING.

Anymore stupid questions will not be answered.

... So it's the death note Rp... but we're chasing a magical sword instead of a supernatural serial killer...
I think I'll wait this one out tongue.gif

It's not a stupid question, not everyone has played the Soul Calibur series so cut them some slack. Also, kudos for completely ignoring what i said about the ethnicity.

The RP will take place in the "real world" around the time Scriptless mentioned, from around all corners of the word go around the rumours of a sword called "Soul Edge". The sword is supposedly magical (And evil) and gives it's wielder incredible (Evil) powers wich grow as the sword devours people's souls. But as always, there's a (Evil) catch, the sword has a mind and conscience of it's own, even though it doesn't speak it's capable of manipulating the minds of it's wielder unless the warrior's will is strong enough to resist it. When the wielder's mind is completely taken over by the sword the wielder is transformed into a creature known as "Nightmare", Nightmare is a distorted humanoid creature whose only objective is to kill people and absorb their souls. Several people seek out the sword, some seek to destroy it and rid the world of it's evil (Or possibly as a personal vendetta? I dunno, this part is up to each person) , and some wish to take it for themselves and try to control it's power for themselves. The story happens in a fantasy version of our world, there is magic but it's extremely rare, technology and locations are also pretty much the exact same as our world at that time.

Ignore what Scriptless said regarding the questions, ask and i'll answer to the best of my abilities.

Edit:
Sparrow, this is far from being anything like the Death Note RP...Well...At least it's not supposed to be close to it...This has potential and it's an idea i had considered before but never really got to doing it, it can possibly turn out as a very good RP if stuff goes as i'm thinking and if Scriptless doesn't abandon this in the first five posts like he did back with the Bleach RP.
Scriptless
Omnial had asked me some good questions in PM. I wanted to put this for future questions
QUOTE
Hey I was thinking of signing up for your rp, but i have quite a few questions before I will do that, and I hope you can answer them.

We are going to be fighting each other in it correct?
Not necessarily it depends on your character's approach towards others.
Do you have or have you chosen a fighting system that will work for it that leaves the battles balanced?
It is planned to be text only, I will do whatever the majority wants for the battles.
Do you have a vague story in mind?
This is not my story, it is up to you to find and communicate with others, RPers are practically writers.
Like Kisuke, I do have some concern with where everyone starts, it is illogical to assume we all start scattered and meet up, I know they work that out in the games, but really most of them seemed to have a connection to the sword before hand.
Are we going to run into characters from that world? or is it all original characters?
That is why I said a character may start where he or she likes, discuss in RP Sign Up.
is Soul Calibur involved at all?
In the future yes, currently no. I would like to leave it so that our RP has a another plot later on.
Is this roleplay replacing the Full metal alchemist one?
No, if you are that concerned please post ^^

Also, just so you are fully aware, your last post to kisuke kinda made you come off as a complete dick, you should be careful of that.


Thank you for the warning but the answers to his questions were kinda of obvious, you however asked vital questions and I thank you for that.

I understand what you mean by Race however this word has been used for such a long time that humans should get used to it and move on.
I don't care for silly people who get their emotions hurt on this word, move on.
QUOTE
Scriptless doesn't abandon this in the first five posts like he did back with the Bleach RP.

If the majority doesn't care I do not care, take the FMA RP for example.. I would love it to come back however a single post from me which I have used on several occasions for some RPs does not work, so instead of wasting my time writing and waiting for a response I say "screw it" I'm sure every owner of an dying RP knows what this is like.

Oh and also, I think 'm going to change my character.. I'll edit it in the main post later.
Kisuke Urahara

scriptless doesn't want me in this so I'll go.
Scriptless
I said you were excluded from my RPs.
Kisuke Urahara
I thought you where ignoring me?

I was expecting a BANNED
Scriptless
I'm going to, once your great performance is done.
Kisuke Urahara
what performance?
I am really interested in joining this rp.
you always think the worst of people.
Scriptless
One more reply from you in this thread Kisuke and I shall report you. It's my choice for you to be in this or not.
Scriptless
The RP now belongs to Niscp, I'm pretty sure he can do a better job at setting this up.
TaFresh
Wha?
Nicsp
Lolwut? What brought this up all of sudden?
Scriptless
According to people I'm the cause of dead RPs, let's see if one of you can do better.
visionary197
lol
ur characters name is pretty damn funny
in kanji, igaki is actually a unmatured kid (like a dumbass) and musaki means a horse
therefore: dumbass horse
wink.gif
btw ur project is WAY too cliched
i like how ur making it into a mystery/shounen like game, but its storyline seems way too overused
AdamWired
Why have you posted! This obviously isn't going ahead! You dumbass!
OH! Sorry... wrong person... tongue.gif

But yea, is this still going ahead? I'm still interested in this RP along with lots of other people. Although i haven't actually played the game, i've looked into it, and the idea seems good, the thread just needs a bit of works smile.gif

Come on Scriptless!!! I know you can do it! biggrin.gif
TaFresh
Yeah, who gives a crap about what other people say. Just give it a try, and see how it works, unless there is a really good reaso (like time constraints) why you can't do it.
