Author:  Lady Dark Moon [ May 24th, 2008, 11:04 pm ]
Post subject:  Sacred Realm

Many thanks to the RPers Guild.


They called it Erys'lite. They planted seeds in its nurturing earth and tended the saplings until their branches brushed the sun. They bathed in rivers of cascading silver and danced with wolves by sparkling moonlight. And under icy starfire, they whispered the name from their emerald treetops - Erys'lite, Erys'lite.

The day the scarlet-sailed ships landed upon their shores, the elves fled to their forests and reemerged, terrified, with offerings to appease the invaders.

But the humans weren't interested in offerings.

The First War dragged its trail of blood for one hundred years. From the ashes of the last elven city rose the victorious humans, bearing the banner of their new empire. The few surviving elves, bitter and grieving, vanished into the Northern Wastes and were never seen or heard from again.

Three thousand years has its way of smudging the lines between truth and legend. The Scarlet Supremacy is truth. Its legions, its victories, its king - all truth. But the elves... the ones who planted the forests and tended the earth... The elves are no more real than the fanged monsters in children's nightmares.

Yet Erys'lite still endures. It endures in the hearts of the elven people - hearts now twisted with a starvation wrought only by vengeance. They shall rise again from the dark mists of legend. They shall muster their forces and come storming down from the Northern Wastes. They shall reclaim their ancient birthright.

When the Scarlet Supremacy drowns in the blood of thousands, Erys'lite - the Sacred Realm - shall be theirs.

-----

Here's the thing. You MUST play one of your best/most intimate characters, previously created, because the objectives here are
1. Save the world.
2. Get to know each other's characters better.
3. Save the world.
4. Get to know fellow rpers better, through the characters.
5. Save the world... oh wait did I already mention that.

Our characters will get plucked out of their original universes and tossed into this one. The (relevant) reason for this will become apparent later.

So what are you waiting for? JOIN NOW. [/threat]

Brief history/other*: n/a
Description of original universe: Born in the Erys'lite universe because he's an evil overlord and gets special privileges.
How you came up with this character: He was originally an rpg character on another forum. I thought he'd be a fun character to play. I've used him in several rpgs here, but his main role is the arch-villain of my story.

Age: Appears mid-30's
Profession: Former military general, mage, ruler
Appearance: Tall; slender; long, black hair; dark blue eyes

Brief history/other*: Began as a soldier in the army of the dwindling Elvish nation, rose through the ranks until he was a general, decided that it would be nice to be in charge, and staged an overthrow; once in power, he began effecting the eradication of the inferior human race and all who stood in his way
Description of original universe: Kytana and the surrounding nations are primarily human, though there are reclusive dwarves and a diminished (but recovering) elvish population; during the time of the rebellion in Kytana, Raen emerged as a threat to humans as a whole (was ultimately defeated)
How you came up with this character: Well, we had the Regent as the main bad guy, and he wasn't doing much of anything, and one day I was randomly like "Hey, we should have someone cooler than the Regent." So I made someone. *nods sagely*

[Lady Dark Moon]

It refers to the ages-old dream that Ornium shall one day conquer the other worlds.
How you came up with this character: I've used her for a few rpgs, but again, she's mainly another character from my story. I came up with her in fourth grade, and she's been around ever since.

[smeagollum]
Name: Ruth Ann Underhill
Gender: Female
Race: Halfling
Age: 27
Profession: Ranger
Appearance: Short, Extremely wavy, brown hair that is on the brink of being curly, Brown eyes

Equipment/weapons: The Elven Cloak, Sword, Dagger, Bow and Arrow, Stolen Dwarven Ring of Power (even though I do not think it will be much use.)
Brief history/other*: Ok.. to sum it up.. she began exploring when she was 5, father died somewhere down the line, she went back to the Shire and got to know Bilbo and Frodo really well (mainly because they were the few that didn't shun her), and has been going in and out of the Shire ever since.
Description of original universe: Middle-Earth
How you came up with this character: She is my LotR RPG character with a VERY VERY VERY complex backstory that, if you want to truly understand her, you need to know.

[smeagollum]
Name: Kira Marshall
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Age: 17
Profession: Student
Appearance: (I'll get a photo)
Equipment/weapons: Fire power.
Brief history/other*: (Explained later)
Description of original universe: Springs, New Jersey, and, before that, San Franciso, California. Basically just our world.
How you came up with this character: This is the intended use for Kira Marshall. I originally made her up for "Gifted Abilities", the story Balathor started and wanted my input of a character. Basically, she was mutated, obtained fire power, and fights villians, and, oh yes, she has a serious ego problem (even though that may be giving her too much credit).

[Eruraina]
Name: Vincent Kurusamno
Gender: male
Race: human
Age: 32
Profession: druid
Appearance: http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g111/ ... edruid.jpg

Brief history/other*: Vincent was born in a small country village. His father was a local carpenter, his mother stayed at home to help care for him and Vincent's siblings. (two older brothers, one older sister, twin younger sisters, and baby younger brother). Vincent, through his father, learned the basics of carpentry. At the age of 10, a druid came to his village looking for an apprentice. Vincent was chosen. For 6 years he served as an apprentice, then for 4 years he was a journeyman, and finally at age 20 Vincent became a full druid.
His last name means "Magic carpenter".
Description of original universe: originally from an old rpg "Crystals of Chaos" where theres sort of a war going on between men, dwarves, elves and demons. men, dwarves and elves try to live together despite their differences and battle the demons.
How you came up with this character: I usually play younger females, so I decided to do something different when I thought up Vincent. He's sort of a mix of Gandalf and Vincent Valentine(final fantasy vii). I hadn't meant to take the name Vincent, but it just seemed to fit.

[Eruraina]
Name: Vondell Correl
Gender: male
Race: human
Age: 22
Profession: bard/haper
Appearance: http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g111/ ... uff007.jpg

Vondell can sing, tell stories and peoms, play pipes, flute, guitar, harp, drums, tamborine, lute, and lyre. And also had excellent memorizing skills.
Description of original universe:
Quote:
In the land of Aden used to live all kind of folk but the most extrodinairy kind would be the Purebreds whose has some special wolfen DNA in them from birth that makes their blood silver. But alas no more... In the Terrible War with the land of Cercum almost all the Purebreds were taken or killed by the enemy. This is because the blood is the Purebreds is valuable to them for mixed with a vile poison the Lords of the land Cercum can create Uruks, dark demons who already roam through Cercum, tyrannizing it's people.
Only two Purebred are left in Aden, siblings, Aiden and Eavan. But then the brother, Aiden, is caught by the men of Cercum, ejected with the poison and taken. Now it's upon the sister, Eavan, to save her brother before the 40 days are over and the poison is completely throughout her brother's body.
On her journey she meets six people whom eventually will help her to save her brother and Aden

How you came up with this character: I just came up with him, I guess... *is tired*

[Meldawen]
Name: Merrin Dragonrider*
Gender: female
Race: human
Age: 19
Profession: dragonrider
Appearance: Shorter/slighter than average. Brown hair worn loose, blue eyes, not noticeably pretty or striking, average looks. Wears breeches and tunic/jerkin, as well as silver-grey dragonrider cloak.
Equipment/weapons: Light rapier.
Brief history/other: Grew up a peasant girl, started dragonrider training at 14 and was knighted at 16. Her dragon is silver, called Wyvern, and on the smaller side, for a dragon.
Description of original universe: The Star Crystal universe is pretty varied - you mostly have humans, some of which are Renegade (basically = good) and some of which are Meiltha (basically = bad). There are a substantial amount of dragonriders on both sides, and they've been warring for...a very long time.
How you came up with this character: Merrin took a total of 30 seconds to come up with and was originally intended as a sort of...anti-Mary-Sue. Her entire personality sprang from a single conversation near the beginning of the RPG, and I honestly don't know how she became the character she is. Anyway, the whole anti-MS thing hasn't quite worked out, as anyone who is even slightly familiar with Crystal will know, but she remains, weirdly, among my best characters.
*for those who know Merrin and are randomly interested, this is pre-Star Crystal.

[Meldawen]
Name: Raignheidra Terhin
Gender: female
Race: human
Age: 23
Profession: former princess, leader of a band of her exiled subjects
Appearance: dark brown hair, usually worn braided and pinned up; dark brown, almost black eyes. Height is slightly above average. Wears green cloak, tunic/jerkin and breeches.
Equipment/weapons: slim scimitar
Brief history/other: ...you'll find out, I think
Description of original universe: Raign's from a universe I created, with a little bit of inspiration from the RPG What Night Brings, a while back. She's from a group of islands called the Jewel Isles, but the universe extends further, with other kingdoms and the like. There aren't many beings besides humans, though you will stumble across the occasional one. The kingdoms tend to exist pretty autonomously, though there is quite a bit of trading and therefore quite a bit of piracy.
How you came up with this character: Raign was for What Night Brings, like I said, and I used her there for....oh, ten pages. She's got a long backstory that mostly exists in my head, and pretty much took on a life of her own after the RPG.

[Curunir]
Name: Xarw Meldi
Gender: Male
Race: Drow
Age: Appears around 25
Profession: Assassin
Appearance: Has a slim and thin apprenticed, but is very agile and handles his rapier well. Wears black clothing with a hood on his normal clothes and a dark studded leather amour covering his clothes, additionally he wears a gray cloak.
Equipment/weapons: A crossbow and a pair of short swords.
Brief history/other: Forgotten Realms
Description of original universe: A character from one of my forgotten realms rp`s, in this xarw was like any other dark elf, scheming and looking out for himself as he operated for a mercenary organization named Bregan Daerthe. However he everything didn`t really go his way in the end and he ended up traveling to the world above the large underground caverns that is underdark in FR.
How you came up with this character: Well the idea was to create a rather clever yet ruthless mercenary/assassin type of character, who isn`t a the top, but somewhere near it and happy with it. He is hardly ambitious as long as he isn`t at the bottom of the food chain.

[Elegost Eruaphadion]
Name: Devarion
Gender: Male
Race: Demi-God (Taken down a step, lol)
Age: Appears around 30; Ageless, but killable. (lol)
Profession: Demi-God, keeper of night, gourmet chef.
Appearance:Devarion has fiery red hair, which spikes naturally, going down to about shoulder length. Two strands hang down over his face. He has bright green eyes, and a chiseled face, with strong features. He is quite slim, but not thin; he's quite muscular also.
Equipment/weapons: Devarion carries with him a smoothly curved, ornate glaive, decorated with the crescent moon and emeralds like his brooch. He is also an adept martial artist.
Brief history/other*: Devarion is the God of the Night, and therefore has a number of unique skills. Firstly, Devarion can manipulate the shadows, appearing and disappearing at will, in a swirl of darkness. He can also bring moonlight out, or put it out completely, at night.
Devarion's glaive is an ancient relic, feared and wanted by many. It is very sharp, and has odd properties. Some say it is made of an ancient ore only found on the moon.
Description of original universe: Originated in When Chaos Rules. Generic fantasy medievil world.
Quote:
Chaos rules in the land of Wavryni, though it was not always that way. There was a time not so long ago when Wavryini was a land of goodness and plenty. It was ruled by eleven gods and goddesses who kept the land in order. Occasionally, there was fighting or disease just as there is in any other land, but for the most part the great deities took care of everything. Wavryni was an ideal place to be.

That is, until the Rebellion.

Asmundr, the first and oldest god, unbeknownst to any of the younger deities had been plotting for a long time. Unfortunately for him, the powers and privileges of the gods and goddesses were equal, none standing above any of the others. He wanted more. He had taught the younger deities to be as great as they had become, and he stronger in his abilities.

In a terrible stroke of dark magic, Asmundr threw Wavryni into chaos. He put the seed of his evil into the hearts of many of the inhabitants of the land. He gained many minions, and they formed an army. They were determined to defeat all that was good and pure in Wavryni.

And with this deadly blow, Asmundr also banished the ten other deities from the heaven in which they had existed for all of time. Now they lived among the mortals of Wavryni. No one knows of their true identities. They still retain their powers of course, but even together they are still far too weak to challenge Asmundr.

They must stick together and train to become stronger. They must also find people who oppose Asmundr, and unfortunately that number dwindles daily. They need all the strength and help they can get, for a great battle looms in the near future… and the fate of Wavryni rests in their hands.

How you came up with this character: I basically wanted to have a different character to my normal ones. And the picture I based him on needed something cool. :)

[Will]
Name: Tristan
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Age: 26
Profession: Tristan has become a wanderer after he turned blind, he occasionally begs
Appearance: Tall, dark hair, grey eyes, usually wearing worn travelling clothes
Equipment/weapons: A long wooden staff used as cane. A bow and two daggers, Tristan might not be able to see, there's nothing wrong with his hearing.
Brief history/other*: Tristan, grew up in Cercum and since he was a child he was taught never to cross the border of the kingdom for those people were evil. He had a pretty good childhood being the eldest of 5 (he'd also 3 sisters and a little brother), without any worries. Then in the year Tristan would turn 18 there was an anouncement that all eldest boys had to join the army. Tristan left home and fighted for 7 years in a bloody war in which they had to capture all the Half-Bloods. In the last battle Tristan was severely injured in the battle and became blind, he deserted and went home. He found his home in ruins and his family was nowhere to be found.
Since then he wondered through the kingdoms, bittered and disillusioned of the evil deeds he has done
Description of original universe: Tristan is a character from Wolfen Blood. In this RP there are two kingdoms: Aden, a peaceful kingdom where the Wolfens live and Cercum, a dasrk realm where the Lords rule. The Lords of Cercum want to kill the Wolfens for their valuable blood. This happened in a Terrible War where Tristan in the last years was part of.
How you came up with this character: I wanted to create a new character with flaws. I thought it would be a challenge to create a character who was blind.

[Elenya]
Name: Ashraem
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Age: 23
Profession: Currently a farmer, previously a spy and rebel
Appearance: Average height, thin, with shoulder-length brown hair and brown eyes.
Equipment/weapons: Two knives, a hunting bow and arrows
Brief history/other*: Ash lived on his family's farm until his teenage years, when some troubles with the local nobles convinced him rebellion was the way to go. He joined up with the rebels and helped to change things, then went back home and got back to farming.
Description of original universe: Ash is from the country of Kytana. Most of the population is human, with some dwarves and elves in there, too.
How you came up with this character: I came up with Ash in about 5 minutes for the Phantom Grey RPG. Since then, he's grown and changed quite a bit.

[Nurrantiel Mashiara]
Name: Jateyani Ralkaien
Gender: male
Race: human
Age: 22
Profession: king
Appearance: tall, brown hair and eyes (considering I have a full sig full of him...)
Equipment/weapons: daggers. can use other weapons, but doesn't like to
Brief history/other*: Was born the younger son of a noble. After being kidnapped by rebels, he eventually joined them. It was discovered he had a rightful claim on kingship, and became king after the Regent was desposed.
Description of original universe: Kytana is a land peopled mostly by humans, though there are some elves and dwarves. After the rebellion, the new king attempted to make life better for his people.
How you came up with this character: Every other single person in the RP had someone who was with the rebellion at the start. I wanted to be different, hence a noble. Then he just came alive and went in random directions.

[Nurrantiel Mashiara]
Name: Mikol Roviny
Gender: male
Race: mostly human, small part elf
Age: 33
Profession: cause trouble, make problems. He is good at things though, so can make a living as jack-of-all trades
Appearance: dark hair, blue eyes, tall
Equipment/weapons: twin daggers, sword, and misc. small pointy objects
Brief history/other*: Abandoned as a child, grew up with a mistrust/hatred toward those people who proclaimed to be "good" but in fact just used others for their own ends
Description of original universe: The Enlightened are a group of people who in the past used powers for the wrong things. Small groups of people are attempting to stop them from taking power again.
How you came up with this character: Too many people were Enlightened. You can't have an RP without both sides. Besides, playing evil people is fun.

[ellie_girl]
Name: Aerin
Gender: Female
Race: human
Age: early twenties
Profession: lady knight
Appearance: Strong build not a thin twig with curly RED hair with blue eyes that chill the blood of her enemy!
Equipment/weapons: sword, knife, bow and arrows, staff, or anything else she can get her hands on...
Brief history/other*: will be revealed later on in the story :p
Description of original universe: um a random fantasy world rpg...
How you came up with this character: I just did... O.o

[pirateoftherings]
Name: Kjan Armadur
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Age: 33
Profession: Noble-turned-rebel-turned-noble
Appearance: Short, wiry build; blond hair; green eyes (also have sig of him)
Equipment/weapons: Higher-class clothing, but nothing ridiculous; two long knives for fighting and an assortment of daggers
Brief history/other*: Youngest of four children in a family of lesser nobles, he's been a lifelong friend of Phaerin Grey. When Phae began the rebellion in Kytana, Kjan was the first to join, first as a spy and later as second-in-command. After the rebellion, Kjan met a nice girl and settled down as lord of his own estate.
Description of original universe: If you haven't figured out Kytana by now, you need help. :P
How you came up with this character: Like most characters here, he was pretty spur-of-the-moment. The Phantom (Phaerin) seemed to have lots of followers but no true friends, so in came Kjan - the quintessential sidekick, but cooler.

[Old Man]
Name: Gramsil (Literally, Stone-Swimmer in the Dwarven tongue) He was known as Madai in his "previous life".
Gender: Male (spirit)
Race: Golemni (A Dwarven word for a magical machine)
Age: 635 (Since transformation)
Profession: None
Appearance: About 7 feet tall, with large hands composed mostly of claws, perfect for digging. Large black opals for eyes, and flexible stone for skin.
Weapons/Abilities: His claws, magic. Although Gramsil appears to be very bulky and heavy, he is surprisingly agile and has quick reflexes. He can also drain magical energy from others, although he still doesn't know how to control precognition, communication with animals, or the manipulation of earth. These three abilities are the ones he had back when he was Chosen, before his spirit was locked in his current body. Being composed of living stone, Gramsil is immune to almost all magics, although his spirit can be manipulated, like anyone's. He is, of course, virtually immune to melee attacks as well.
Brief history/other*: Created by Dwarven Spirit and Earth Elementalists, Gramsil is essentially a spirit somehow infused into a sculpture. It is still not known how he can move; his entire body is composed of stone, after all. Two large opals embedded in his eye sockets fuel his movements, gathering sunlight each day to provide energy for him to function. When deprived of sunlight for too long he will be unable to move. He has a history of miscommunication with others, due to his inability to speak and his appearance. He was originally a Human captive of a group of vengeful Dwarves. They attempted to turn him into a machine for use in the caverns or as a soldier. He managed to escape their enchantments and reach the upper world. At first questioning his very existence, Gramsil then roamed the land searching for his creators. So far he has been unable to discover more than their types of elements and his own abilities as a Chosen one. He remembers nothing from his Human life.
Description of original universe: This was an old roleplay by Raven Sparrow that never really took off. The world of Vahaera is kept alive by a magical and mysterious heart buried deep within the land. This heart had become tainted, causing chaos and destroying its Guardians. There are several races in Vahaera, the most common being humans, elves, dwarves, vilrae, and bestaed.
See link: http://www.arwen-undomiel.com/forum/vie ... sc&start=0
How you came up with this character: Don't ask me. It was a long time ago, and I don't remember the details. I had an image of what Gramsil looked like, and worked from there.

[Nauriel Rochnur]
Name: Kith
Gender: Male
Race: Half Shapeshifter
Age: 28
Profession: Pretty much a thieving bum. But don't call him that.
Appearance: Tall and pretty muscular, with black hair and dark brown eyes.
Equipment/weapons: A dagger, but mostly his ability to grow fangs/claws/venemous pinchers. As a thieving bum, his clothes arn't the best.
Brief history/other*: Throw a bunch of angst in a bucket and you've got it: he was sold into slavery at age eight by his own father, worked as a slave for 15 years, escaped (barely) and the closest thing he had to a friend was brutely murdered in front of him. He's been a tad bit peeved ever since.
Description of original universe: Fantasy, but not ever the top: like our world (about 1000 bc, give or take) with a dash of magic and imaginary creatures.
How you came up with this character: I was feeling extreemly angsty and wanted a character to match.

[Nauriel Rochnur]
Name: Amaran
Gender: Male
Race: Elf
Age: 2013
Profession: Captian in the army
Appearance: Average elf height and build, curly red hair, grey-green eyes
Equipment/weapons: Killer with a bow, but not to shabby with his twin fighting knives (the ones that all the elves in LOTR have.) Garbed in light armor.
Brief history/other*: Nothing significant.
Description of original universe: Doesn't really have one.....
How you came up with this character: I needed a character, so I made one.

[Turwaithiel Swann]
Name: Dark Rising
Gender: Female
Race: Avian Hybrid
Age: 17
Profession: Hunter
Appearance: Dark haired, fair skinned, tall and strongly build, yet thin. Oh, I forgot to mention, she has a pair of black wings on her back. ;)
Equipment/weapons: Wings, two daggers
Brief history/other*: She was a science expierment gone bad - not evil, bad, but it went wrong. She wasn't suppose to live. She was just suppose to be 'playtoy', if you wish, something the sciencitist wanted to play around with. Well, sorry to disappointed you, but she lived, and is now a hunter of things that cause evil in the world.
Description of original universe: N/A
How you came up with this character: After reading The Maximum Ride series by James Patterson, she popped into my head like popcorn pops in a bag in a mircowave.

[Turwaithiel Swann]
Name: Eavan
Gender: Female
Race: Wolven
Age: 17
Profession: Vagabond
Appearance: Long brown hair, different color eyes depending on her mood, dark skin, musculer.
Equipment/weapons: A bow and a sword
Brief history/other*: Eavan has been hunted all her life. She is special. She comes from a rare race that is slowly becoming completely gone from her world. She is one of the last of two that are left. She is so special because her blood has traces of silver blood that came from a Wolf. If someone takes this blood, freezes it for 40 days, and then mixes it with varies others, it can make many different terrifying creatures. She also has many abilities - some she herself hasn't discovered yet - from her blood.
Description of original universe: Like Middle-Earth, except mostly forest, with taverns and such along the way.
How you came up with this character: In a dream, to be honest. ;)

[The~Doctor]
Name: Kayne Rhydderch
Gender: Male
Race: Human (Welsh)
Age: 108 (Explain this later)
Profession: Wizard (Professional), Warden, Blackstaff (Explained later, too)
Appearance: http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o298 ... esden2.jpg
Equipment/weapons: A staff; MAGIC; a slender, enchanted scimitar; and multiple other magical foci/enchanted items
Brief history/other*: N/A
Description of original universe: It’s ‘The Dresden Files’ universe that Kayne originally came from. The DF universe is our own, except it has magic. There are wizards and witches (people with innate talent for magic that grows stronger as they grow older, they can live for around half a millennia), sorcerers (likes wizards and witches, but only use evocation magic), Wiccans (like ours, but they have minor abilities in forestry magic), vampires (Red, White, Jade, and Black Courts (Black Court are like Stoker’s Dracula)), ogres, faeries, ghosts, ghouls, specters, ect…

The Wardens are the White Council’s (which is the wizard form of government) secret police/military. They enforce the seven Laws of Magic, which are as follow: (1)Thou shalt not kill by use of magic, (2)Thou shalt not transform others, (3)Thou shalt not invade the mind of another, (4)Thou shalt not enthrall another, (5)Thou shalt not reach beyond the borders of life, (6)Thou shalt not swim against the Currents of Time, and (7)Thou shalt not seek beyond the Outer Gates. (First five laws only apply to humans.)

The Blackstaff is the White Council’s ‘wet works man.’ In the cannonical Dresdenverse, there is only one, but in the one Kayne comes from the Blackstaffs are a group of wizards. Blackstaffs are allowed to violate the laws of magic whenever it is nessary to do so, but they almost never violate the sixth and seventh laws because to do so could cause a paradox or release an 'Outsider,' very, very, very powerful demons.

Wizards and witches use magical foci (such as staves, swords, bracelets, and rings) to help them focus and channel their power. They also enchant things (such as clothes, belts, boots, and gloves) with magic. An example of a magic foci is a ‘blasting rod’ which helps control evocation magic and an example of an enchanted item is a belt that, once activated with a little bit of a wizard’s will, increases strength exponentially for a time.

Potions are potent brews that wizards can use in sticky situations. They are like enchanted items and can have the same effect, but they take much less time to make can only be used once. They require seven parts: one for the mind, one for the spirit, one for touch, one for taste, one for smell, one for sight, and one for hearing. A small bit of a wizard’s will must then be invested in the potion for it to work, else it is just a brew of a bunch of disgusting things. Most potions look, smell, and taste disgusting, but to add anything to better the taste would mess with the effects of the potion.

There are many types of magic. The main ones are thaumaturgy, evocation, ectomancy, curses, necromancy, veils, and wards. Thaumaturgy is your basic voodoo dolls, get a small part of someone (hair, nails, blood is best) and us it in conjunction with a representation of the person to do thing to them. Evocation is destructive; fireballs, explosions, mini-earthquakes, ect… Ectomancy is the art of speaking to willing spirits (doesn’t violate the fifth law because the spirit is willing to be communicated with). Curses are harmful magic that isn’t evocation, as they make deaths look like accidents. Necromancy is the art of resurrecting the dead and the older the corpse is, the more power it has. Humans have the most powerful corpses, but the fifth law forbids raising them, but there is a loophole that allows you to raise non-human things without punishment. Veils are just illusions, they let you put up a magical screen that makes people see something other than what is actually there (it canbe defeated with a wizard's Sight (see below)). Wards are defensive magics that block or deflect incoming harmful magics (such as evocation or curses) or mundane attacks, and the strength of the ward determines how well the attack is deflected.

A wizard's Sight allows them to see through veils and glamours and also see the true form of mortals and immortals, along with the echos of what has been done in that area in the past. Whatever is seen with the Sight stays with that person forever, be it good or bad, and it will always seem as though you just saw it.

A soulgaze is something everyone can do, though it is only so vivid with a wizard. The soulgaze starts when eye contact is maintainged for a long time (more than a second or two). During a soulgaze, both the wizard and the other person see into the depths of each other's souls and see exactly what they are. This, like what is seen with a wizard's Sight, never goes away.

The pentacle is the symbol of magic. Each point of the star represents a type of magic (Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Spirit) all bound together by human will (the circle).

You never said it had to be short. :-D
How you came up with this character: He was made up for an RP on a different site. I didn’t really take that long to make him up, I just needed a leader for the group in my RP and this guy was it, though I'm editing him down a little bit for this RP so he isn't quite so powerful (or so he doesn't have guns :-D ).

Description of original universe: This was for Ellie's Rift in Time RP: futuristic universe, with space stations and alien invaders and such.
How you came up with this character: an adaptation of a CIA agent charrie that I had in two earlier RPs. Because there weren't enough Asians. Or engineers.

[Fencing Maiden]

Gender: Male
Race: Human
Age: 29
Profession: Smuggler
Appearance: Tall, bearded, and average weight.
Equipment/weapons: short-sword
Brief history/other*: Merrick grew up as in immigrant in a country of inequality, where the human race was under constant oppression by larger and more especial races. Once old enough, he joined the Revolution Meter, and became involved in a complicated plot for freedom. Now he works as the royal smuggler to the true king.
Description of original universe: Trella is a world I conceived as soon as my imagination began kicking in. Populated by a few typical races - and some I invented - it's main occupants are pretty humanoid. The world is yet fairly young, and has a very small history with only two major wars, one of which Merrick was active in.
How you came up with this character: Merrick was always the sarcastic voice in my head that insisted I write things differently. Eventually I gave him his own name, and started exploring his personality and background through random RP's and fragments of writing.

[Caunion the Time Lord]

Race: Elemental
Age: 24

Description of original universe: There's a world of elementals and a village of elementals were killed by a marauding army. Among the murdered elementals was Jeniya's family and lover.
How you came up with this character: Just came up for it and wanted a unique elemental.

To be honest, except for Ruth Ann, my characters are really like real-life type characters. So, do I just use Ruth Ann, or do I use a real life character?

Author:  Lady Dark Moon [ May 24th, 2008, 11:46 pm ]
Post subject: 

Your choice. We can make it work either way. He/she will just be rather bewildered at first.

And.. my compromise.. I'll do both. :P

Name: Ruth Ann Underhill
Gender: Female
Race: Halfling
Age: 27
Profession: Ranger
Appearance: Short, Extremely wavy, brown hair that is on the brink of being curly, Brown eyes
Outfit: The color of the elven cloaks, a slender brown belt around her waist, pants and a long sleeved shirt that has a tied together V-neck making the shirt the regular neckline, and a hooded cloak.
Equipment/weapons: The Elven Cloak, Sword, Dagger, Bow and Arrow, Stolen Dwarven Ring of Power (even though I do not think it will be much use.)
Brief history/other*: Ok.. to sum it up.. she began exploring when she was 5, father died somewhere down the line, she went back to the Shire and got to know Bilbo and Frodo really well (mainly because they were the few that didn't shun her), and has been going in and out of the Shire ever since.
Description of original universe: Middle-Earth
How you came up with this character: She is my LotR RPG character with a VERY VERY VERY complex backstory that, if you want to truly understand her, you need to know.

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

Name: Kira Marshall
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Age: 17
Profession: Student
Appearance: (I'll get a photo)
Equipment/weapons: Fire power.
Brief history/other*: (Explained later)
Description of original universe: Springs, New Jersey, and, before that, San Franciso, California. Basically just our world.
How you came up with this character: This is the intended use for Kira Marshall. I originally made her up for "Gifted Abilities", the story Balathor started and wanted my input of a character. Basically, she was mutated, obtained fire power, and fights villians, and, oh yes, she has a serious ego problem (even though that may be giving her too much credit).

Here's mine! And I hope to get another one... it depends if I can make up my mind which I do.

Name: Vincent Kurusamno
Gender: male
Race: human
Age: 32
Profession: druid
Appearance: http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g111/ ... edruid.jpg
Equipment/weapons: sword, staff, magic
Brief history/other*: Vincent was born in a small country village. His father was a local carpenter, his mother stayed at home to help care for him and Vincent's siblings. (two older brothers, one older sister, twin younger sisters, and baby younger brother). Vincent, through his father, learned the basics of carpentry. At the age of 10, a druid came to his village looking for an apprentice. Vincent was chosen. For 6 years he served as an apprentice, then for 4 years he was a journeyman, and finally at age 20 Vincent became a full druid.
His last name means "Magic carpenter".
Description of original universe: originally from an old rpg "Crystals of Chaos" where theres sort of a war going on between men, dwarves, elves and demons. men, dwarves and elves try to live together despite their differences and battle the demons.
How you came up with this character: I usually play younger females, so I decided to do something different when I thought up Vincent. He's sort of a mix of Gandalf and Vincent Valentine(final fantasy vii). I hadn't meant to take the name Vincent, but it just seemed to fit.

Name: Merrin Dragonrider*
Gender: female
Race: human
Age: 19
Profession: dragonrider
Appearance: Shorter/slighter than average. Brown hair worn loose, blue eyes, not noticeably pretty or striking, average looks. Wears breeches and tunic/jerkin, as well as silver-grey dragonrider cloak.
Equipment/weapons: Light rapier.
Brief history/other: Grew up a peasant girl, started dragonrider training at 14 and was knighted at 16. Her dragon is silver, called Wyvern, and on the smaller side, for a dragon.
Description of original universe: The Star Crystal universe is pretty varied - you mostly have humans, some of which are Renegade (basically = good) and some of which are Meiltha (basically = bad). There are a substantial amount of dragonriders on both sides, and they've been warring for...a very long time.
How you came up with this character: Merrin took a total of 30 seconds to come up with and was originally intended as a sort of...anti-Mary-Sue. Her entire personality sprang from a single conversation near the beginning of the RPG, and I honestly don't know how she became the character she is. Anyway, the whole anti-MS thing hasn't quite worked out, as anyone who is even slightly familiar with Crystal will know, but she remains, weirdly, among my best characters.

*for those who know Merrin and are randomly interested, this is pre-Star Crystal.

Name: Xarw Meldi
Gender: Male
Race: Elf
Age: Appears around 25
Profession: Assassin
Appearance: Has a slim and thin apprenticed, but is very agile and handles his rapier well. Wears black clothing with a hood on his normal clothes and a dark studded leather amour covering his clothes, additionally he wears a gray cloak. His hair are brown and short.
Equipment/weapons: A crossbow and a pair of short swords.

Brief history/other: Born in the Erys'lite universe, has always had a certain knack for sneaking around and naturally this was turned to help him kill people as a job. Of course like many elves he is out for human blood.

Description of original universe: A character from one of my forgotten realms rp`s, in this xarw was like any other dark elf, scheming and looking out for himself as he operated for a mercenary organization named Bregan Daerthe. However he everything didn`t really go his way in the end and he ended up traveling to the world above the large underground caverns that is underdark in FR.
How you came up with this character: Well the idea was to create a rather clever yet ruthless mercenary/assassin type of character, who isn`t a the top, but somewhere near it and happy with it. He is hardly ambitious as long as he isn`t at the bottom of the food chain.

Oooh this sounds awesome! I assume that anyone can join not just members of the RPer's Guild? I thought I joined once but I'm not sure.

Anyway, I think I'll join with Tristan. I hope he'll fit :P

Name: Tristan
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Age: 26
Profession: Tristan has become a wanderer after he turned blind, he occasionally begs
Appearance: Tall, dark hair, grey eyes, usually wearing worn travelling clothes
Equipment/weapons: A long wooden staff used as cane. A bow and two daggers, Tristan might not be able to see, there's nothing wrong with his hearing.
Brief history/other*: Tristan, grew up in Cercum and since he was a child he was taught never to cross the border of the kingdom for those people were evil. He had a pretty good childhood being the eldest of 5 (he'd also 3 sisters and a little brother), without any worries. Then in the year Tristan would turn 18 there was an anouncement that all eldest boys had to join the army. Tristan left home and fighted for 7 years in a bloody war in which they had to capture all the Half-Bloods. In the last battle Tristan was severely injured in the battle and became blind, he deserted and went home. He found his home in ruins and his family was nowhere to be found.
Since then he wondered through the kingdoms, bittered and disillusioned of the evil deeds he has done
Description of original universe: Tristan is a character from Wolfen Blood. In this RP there are two kingdoms: Aden, a peaceful kingdom where the Wolfens live and Cercum, a dasrk realm where the Lords rule. The Lords of Cercum want to kill the Wolfens for their valuable blood. This happened in a Terrible War where Tristan in the last years was part of.
How you came up with this character: I wanted to create a new character with flaws. I thought it would be a challenge to create a character who was blind.

*inward debate*

*chews nails*

*keeps debating*

...okay, I give in. Mary Sue alert.

Name: Raignheidra Terhin
Gender: female
Race: human
Age: 23
Profession: former princess, leader of a band of her exiled subjects
Appearance: dark brown hair, usually worn braided and pinned up; dark brown, almost black eyes. Height is slightly above average. Wears green cloak, tunic/jerkin and breeches.
Equipment/weapons: slim scimitar
Brief history/other: ...you'll find out, I think
Description of original universe: Raign's from a universe I created, with a little bit of inspiration from the RPG What Night Brings, a while back. She's from a group of islands called the Jewel Isles, but the universe extends further, with other kingdoms and the like. There aren't many beings besides humans, though you will stumble across the occasional one. The kingdoms tend to exist pretty autonomously, though there is quite a bit of trading and therefore quite a bit of piracy.
How you came up with this character: Raign was for What Night Brings, like I said, and I used her there for....oh, ten pages. She's got a long backstory that mostly exists in my head, and pretty much took on a life of her own after the RPG.

and *cough* a certain person who knows who she is very much wants me to play another character too (who knows who he is), but I'm leery of playing three, so I suppose we'll see, later.

*cough* I think I know who that person is, and I think I also know who that character is, and I think you should play that character too. :innocent:

Anywho, here's my bio

Name: Ashraem
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Age: 23
Profession: Currently a farmer, previously a spy and rebel
Appearance: Average height, thin, with shoulder-length brown hair and brown eyes.
Equipment/weapons: Two knives, a hunting bow and arrows
Brief history/other*: Ash lived on his family's farm until his teenage years, when some troubles with the local nobles convinced him rebellion was the way to go. He joined up with the rebels and helped to change things, then went back home and got back to farming.
Description of original universe: Ash is from the country of Kytana. Most of the population is human, with some dwarves and elves in there, too.
How you came up with this character: I came up with Ash in about 5 minutes for the Phantom Grey RPG. Since then, he's grown and changed quite a bit.

Name: Jateyani Ralkaien
Gender: male

Equipment/weapons: daggers. can use other weapons, but doesn't like to
Brief history/other*: Was born the younger son of a noble. After being kidnapped by rebels, he eventually joined them. It was discovered he had a rightful claim on kingship, and became king after the Regent was desposed.
Description of original universe: Kytana is a land peopled mostly by humans, though there are some elves and dwarves. After the rebellion, the new king attempted to make life better for his people.
How you came up with this character: Every other single person in the RP had someone who was with the rebellion at the start. I wanted to be different, hence a noble. Then he just came alive and went in random directions.

---------------------------------------
Name: Mikol Roviny
Gender: male
Race: mostly human, small part elf
Age: 33
Profession: cause trouble, make problems. He is good at things though, so can make a living as jack-of-all trades
Appearance: dark hair, blue eyes, tall
Equipment/weapons: twin daggers, sword, and misc. small pointy objects
Brief history/other*: Abandoned as a child, grew up with a mistrust/hatred toward those people who proclaimed to be "good" but in fact just used others for their own ends
Description of original universe: The Enlightened are a group of people who in the past used powers for the wrong things. Small groups of people are attempting to stop them from taking power again.
How you came up with this character: Too many people were Enlightened. You can't have an RP without both sides. Besides, playing evil people is fun.

Evil Overlord of Doom #2

Name: Lord Raen
Gender: Male
Race: Elf
Age: Appears mid-30's
Profession: Former military general, mage, ruler
Appearance: Tall; slender; long, black hair; dark blue eyes
Equipment/weapons: Clean-cut, simple black robes; silver circlet; proficient with any weapon but prefers a sword when magic won't suffice
Brief history/other*: Began as a soldier in the army of the dwindling Elvish nation, rose through the ranks until he was a general, decided that it would be nice to be in charge, and staged an overthrow; once in power, he began effecting the eradication of the inferior human race and all who stood in his way
Description of original universe: Kytana and the surrounding nations are primarily human, though there are reclusive dwarves and a diminished (but recovering) elvish population; during the time of the rebellion in Kytana, Raen emerged as a threat to humans as a whole (was ultimately defeated)
How you came up with this character: Well, we had the Regent as the main bad guy, and he wasn't doing much of anything, and one day I was randomly like "Hey, we should have someone cooler than the Regent." So I made someone. *nods sagely*

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

Name: Kjan Armadur
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Age: 33
Profession: Noble-turned-rebel-turned-noble
Appearance: Short, wiry build; blond hair; green eyes (also have sig of him)
Equipment/weapons: Higher-class clothing, but nothing ridiculous; two long knives for fighting and an assortment of daggers
Brief history/other*: Youngest of four children in a family of lesser nobles, he's been a lifelong friend of Phaerin Grey. When Phae began the rebellion in Kytana, Kjan was the first to join, first as a spy and later as second-in-command. After the rebellion, Kjan met a nice girl and settled down as lord of his own estate.
Description of original universe: If you haven't figured out Kytana by now, you need help. :P
How you came up with this character: Like most characters here, he was pretty spur-of-the-moment. The Phantom (Phaerin) seemed to have lots of followers but no true friends, so in came Kjan - the quintessential sidekick, but cooler.
