A Broken Kingdom (OOC) ( )

Postby ShadowWake on Thu May 01, 2008 3:30 am

~edited~

Right - this is the Out-of-Character topic for the RP 'A Broken Kingdom'.
To make things easier and more understandable, I'll place a brief fact file below:

The time is based around the 31st century and many habitable planets have been discovered - some with humanoid life-forms already present and some used as additional homes for the ever-expanding population on Earth. Some races have previously inhabited these planets, including the elves and dwarves, and have now become a different species entirely.

Earth itself is now stuck in a medieval time period. Weapons like guns, bombs etc are no longer present and medieval weapons such as swords, bows etc are much more commonly used. This also applies to armour, building materials and transport.

Space travel mainly uses standard wind-powered ships (think large white sails and wooden hulls), their flight in space accompanied by the magic of so-called 'Wind-Mages' who are often the captain of the vessel. Alternative transport is possible depending on the magical ability of the race.

Ok - so the character profiles will go as follows:

Name:
Age:
Race: (generally human, elven, dwarven or alien - if alien please provide a short paragraph describing the characteristics of the race)
Planet of origin: (where your character comes from; note - not all humans/elves/dwarves come from the same planet; if you want to add a bried description of you planet, you may, but it'snot essential (we all know what Earth looks like))
Appearance: (can be a picture or a description)
Bio: (character personality, brief history and any other additional info)


My character:
Name: Litania
Age: unknown
Appearance: Image
Race: Elven
Planet: Iaos - once lush: full of trees, rivers and great architecture; now virtually barren and covered in ruins - few trees remaining.
Bio: Litania is one of the few few elves left of a broken kingdom - the planet named as Iaos. In an attempt to get help she has travelled to Earth on Reno. Reno appears to be a standard stallion-sized horse on land but with the aid of Litania's magic, he can develop great leathery wings to transport Litania through space (Litania can create an invisible capsule of breathable air to surround herself and Reno for comfort in flight) Unfortunately, she is pursued by a gang of Kandra from the planet K'tar - the warrior-like reptilian race that is to blame for the destruction of her home. She is bold and friendly but has a temper that she often needs to keep under control. Having fought in the war which has virtually destroyed her kingdom (and survived) she is a very formidable enemy but a good friend to those she trusts.

Post your character profiles in the format I've shown above and when I feel we've got enough, we'll start! ^_^

Let me know if this is good, kie? =)

Name: Alicen Larson
Age: 19
Appearance: A petite girl with strawberry blonde hair and brown eyes. A small mole rests on the side of her neck; her skin is tanned somewhat from working in the fields. She is usually seen in a normal farm girl’s wear, basically overalls and a checkered shirt with muddy black boots as well as a small locket with a picture of her family(Although it might change later on as the story progresses.).
Race/planet: Human/ Earth (I like challenges ^^)
Bio: Alicen has been born and raised on earth; she lives the life of a hard worker and enjoys the quiet life with her family and the animals that live there with them. Their home is peaceful until their attacked by another species in the middle of the night. Alicen was thrown out of the house in the middle of the fight; she remembers the screams of her parents and doesn’t really know what happened to her siblings. The only thing she has left aside from her locket is a puppy, named Mimi.

Re: A Broken Kingdom (OOC) ( )

Postby Wirik on Thu May 01, 2008 11:25 am

I hope its okay I made my own race, when I first saw this I immediately thought of a story idea I had been toying around with a few years ago, where the earth is on a cyclic phase with technology and magic, but in that story it was centered around this race, so I really wanted to rp as one : (, if its not okay I'll redo it as a human.



Name: Brandr

Age: 42

Race: Alien( Race called Dragoons) Draconian like race. They are lizard like, prominent features include an average height of 6'6", greenish purple scales that cover their entire body, and yellow eyes. They are a dragon riding species that breeds special dragons that can breath in space. Nomadic and capable of adapting to any atmosphere(breathing wise) They are slowly dieing out due to the length of the birth cycle and the fact that the females are slowly dieing out. Their culture reflects that of old Norse ways.

Planet of origin: Brandr was born on Saturn's moon Titan.

Appearance: Brandr looks much like his race, he is of average height, 6'6", has greenish purple scales for skin and yellow eyes. He has a distinguishing feature as a nasty cut that runs from the edge of his left eye to the base of his jaw, because of this cut he is slightly blind in his left eye. He wears clothes that appear to be made out of fur.

Bio: Brandr is young for his race, and as such has gone out on his own to decide his own fate, rather then sit on his home planet and help rebuild his clan. As such he journeyed to Earth in hopes of finding work of some sort, hopefully he could make a name for himself. But on his journey to Earth he relaxed his attention for several minutes and did not see the ship that collided with his dragon Onyx. He was able to make a landing on Earth but his dragon died, now hes just trying to make a living so he could one day return to his home, hopefully he can find a job as someones body guard.

Humans can have magical abilities but they have to be taught at a Mage College; so a child would only have very limited use, a young adult would have more control and an adult above the age of 30 would have virtually complete control. Anyone above middle age would have extensive use of most magics. Humans can be both specialists (one or two magics) or generalists (many magic types) but most choose to specialise as generalists usually have to spend a life-time learning. Hope that's ok. If you have any other ideas, feel free to ask and I'll try and oblige. ^_^

Name: Rin Indavida
Age: 35
Race: Human
Planet of origin: Lamanos VII--A cold, mountainous moon orbiting a ringed gas giant. The natives are primitive aliens who call themselves Miinom, but the world is also home to a multiracial brotherhood of magi known as the Quin Shaliha.
Appearance:
Image
Bio:
Mr. Indavida was born to a pair of prospectors, one a Wind-Mage, looking for their fortune within the rings of the planet Lamanos. Their small ship was attacked by pirates, and they had just time to put Rin in an escape craft. The two-year old boy survived the fall to the planet alone. The next day, a band of hunter Miinom found him, and took him to their village. They raised him until the age of twelve. He grew hardy and healthy in the stark mountain landscape, and his hair took on the albine hue of Lamanos VII's glaciers.

In his early teenage youth, he began to show that he had inherited his father's talent: manipulation of the winds, something no Miinom knew how to do. They sent him to the monostary of the Quin Shaliha, where the magi trained him in their ways. He became a respected member of this brotherhood, but at times he found himself longing to see his own people. There were humans amongst the Quin Shaliha, but they were a minority. This year, he leaves the monostary on a self-assigned pilgrimage to human space.

Postby Mr Hyde on Fri May 02, 2008 7:34 pm

Name: Grim

Age: 204

Race: Shade (Very dark skinned, very strong, very fast, highly resistant to heat and radiation.)

Planet of origin: Eden. A planet over 1.5 times larger than Earth in every dimension Eden has a much stronger gravitational pull and is covered primarily by deserts.

Appearance: Like all Shades his skin is thick, leathery, and completely black. A long scar runs down across his left eye from a battle in his youth.

Abilities/Powers: While he has no magic and isn't particulary brilliant he is excellent in close combat. While he appears to be athletic growing up on a planet with such a difference in gravity makes him a great deal stronger and heavier than a human of equal size. While he is very vulnerable to low temperatures he can easily survive in high temperatures and is highly resistant to most forms of magic.

Bio: An elite warrior of the his clan Grim seeks to aid his people in any way he can. If that means being a mercenary to get money then he's willing to do it. Though he'd prefer more honorable means his people are his first priority.
Hello all, I'm sorry to say any and all RPing has been put on a complete hold on my end. The school I am presently attending gives me time to eat and do homework. My sleep usually averages 5 hours a night and I don't have enough free time to do any RP justice. I'm sorry and hopefully I will be able to continue my participation in this fine community once summer hits.

That's great guys, I think we can make a start. Myri, in answer to your question I think you should be the one Litania first meets (seen in the paragraph in the IC thread) as you are an Earth resident; the others we can meet in a bit.

Here's the IC thread. http://www.roleplaygateway.com/broken-kingdom-t5635.html

Thanks for joining and have fun!! :D

Postby The Rogue Doll on Thu May 15, 2008 4:44 pm

Name: Nexis

Age: 1020

Race: Adinde/human

Planet of origin: The sun/earth. The Adinden are creatures of light and energy. They inhabit places of extreme energy as they need a constant store of it to survive. They live quite happily inside of stars since it is full of the stuff. Everyonce in a while the flow of action and reaction of energetic forces causes the conciousness of an Adinde to fall to a planet like a sunbeam. They are more common on earth than on other planets because of the greenhouse effect that is still leftover from the technological age and the extensive pollution. For the most part they go unnoticed since they tend to inhabit things with a lot of energy such as rivers, but every once in a while an Adinde finds refuge in a sentient being.

The Adinden control non sentient energy as well as being made of the stuff. They can reach out and make it part of themselves and use it as you would an arm. A human with an Adinde inside finds themselves with new abilities, although it takes a lot to use them. There is no danger of dying from over exertion. The Adenden believe in self preservation over all else and will stop you long before you reach that point.

Few people know about the creatures. There was a scientist who was occupied by one who did a study on them, but most people in the field at that time just thought he was crazy. Since other races were discovered the idea has become more accepted, but they are still largely unkown.

Appearance: Image

Bio: In the year 1987 an Andinde fell to earth and took refuge in a woman's belly. The belly seemed to have a growing thing in it that took up more and more energy every day. Seeing the growth potential that Adende attached itself to the source. Eventually the source left the woman's belly and became it's own being. The being was a boy named Lexis. Lexis grew up with telepathic abilities and control over electricity. Over the years the Adinde spent time with the boy and got attached as more than a user and usee, which is unheard of among the Adinden culture. The creature learned about human mortality when the boy was fourteen and his mother died. The thing changed his cell structure on a molecular level so that it would continue producing at the same rate as it died off, hence no decaying, no aging, no mortal death. (This feat drained a local power plant and put the area out of power for weeks).

Lexis did not agree to this and was bitterly angry as his friends grew up without him. He had the same longings of an adult, but all women saw him as a child. The Adinde was unyielding, never explaining it's reasons, and eventually all of the people Lexis cared about were dead. He travels now, so he wont get attached to people. He keeps himself aloof and uncompramising. He is desensitized to human suffering, knowing that no matter what kind of life they have they will still die in the end.

Despite his bitter practical side, a flame of his old self lives inside of him. He finds himself rescuing kittens out of trees and helping old ladies across the street. He is generally good hearted. He is just what comes of a person forced to live forever against their will. He chose his new name as a reflection of his old name and his fixation on death.

Lexis before the Adinden came had very few skills, he was just a kid being a kid, getting c's in school. As magic became a part of life he discovered that he had little ability for it. He is very aware that his own skills in life are limited. I may decide to give him an aptitude in something later.

Note: The individuals of the race are called 'Andinde'. Plural it get's an 'n' at the end and to make it an adjective it becomes 'Adinden' as well. (Like how America becomes American). It would be like this:

An Adinde is shiny!
Adinden are shiny!
Adinden creatures are shiny!
(The statement is a lie, they are not visible unless they use energy to become visible, but I like the sentence anyway.)
The apple falls far from the tree
she's rotten and so beautiful
I'd like to keep her here with me
and tell her that she's beautiful
She takes the pills to fall asleep
and dreams that she's invisible
Too many dreams she stays awake
recalls when she was capable...

Hi, can I join?
Name: Viridis Sententia
Age: 24
Race: Human/ Cat (see bio)
Planet: Earth
Appearance:
Cat form- http://animals-pets.punchstock.com/imag ... 13-078.jpg
Human form- She has thick, dark brown hair that curls down to her waist, accented by reddish-bronze tints in the sunlight. Her skin is pale, more from lack of sunlight than anything else, otherwised it'sd be tan. Her eyes are brown.
Bio: Viridis, better known as Viri, was a promising mage, entering their college at the young age of twelve. She quickly outpaced her classmates and out of boredom, began to explore the archaic arts. Her interest was quickly caught by shape-shifting, a craft most frequently discussed by medieval witches. Shape-shifting was by then an extinct magic on Earth, and she longed to revive it. The way witches had done it was by borrowing the souls of animals. This method, however, was only temporary, and she wanted to be able to fluidly switch between forms at will. Lacking a spell, Viri made up her own, and tried to merge her soul with that of a stray cat at the age of nineteen. Of course, it was a failure. The cat died, and the remnants of its soul fused so tightly with her that she is now stuck in the form of a cat, except for times when her emotions run high. An example of such a thing would be her turning human if she was cornered by bandits in the woods who wanted a bit of meat for their dinner. The cat's quiet, shy nature rubbed off on her, and she now lives seven additional years for each year in her original life span. However, she retained her intellect, although she turns more and more feline over time.
