- No God-modding. My meaning of this is that you cannot control another persons character or kill without permission, also meaning that your character is not a god and can get hurt in a fight.
- No Auto-hitting. Meaning, your attack on another character is NOT absolute. Give the person a chance to decide if they get hit or not. This leads back to rule 1. Though this excludes NPC where they are free use.
- Though I am going to let you, the players, control most of the flow of the story, I have the last word.
- Adult Content. I will allow cursing, but be reminded that there may be younger players so please tone it down. Lewd content such as sexual scenes are prohibited. If your character are in love/fling simply hint towards their time together. Absolutely no details. Keep that in PM.
- I understand sometimes it may be hard but keep posts somewhat lengthy. Go into detail about things around your character. (Additional characters may help increase post lengths.)
- I won’t give a character limit but I will say that you MUST keep up with them all. So try not to have too many to get yourself lost.
- Any talk outside the role play must be said here on the OOC. Quick tidbits are the most you can post ((OOC…)) in the IC.
- The magic elements: Rai, Divine, and Rift are rare. Please don’t abuse them.
- Unless I say so NO ONE can use the Daeva Rune Grimoire. NO ONE unless I say you can.
- If anything else should pop up that doesn’t strike me right I will add it to the list. I’m sure you’re all used to how RP’s should work, so really there shouldn’t be a problem. Keep an eye out for the OOC.





Technology wise the world’s setting is placed in a medieval time. Though slightly more advanced, some countries are developing steam powered engines. Guns are a rare commodity reserved for the richest of entrepreneurs or the slyest of thieves.

There are a wide arrange of monsters that roam the vast plains, forests, and mountains. I’ll leave their creation up to the players.

I will post the leaders of each nation and they will be considered NPC, so they are free of use. But please keep in mind that they are the leaders so their sanctity and integrity must be kept in mind.

Magic

The use of magic is somewhat of a rare thing. There are hundreds of Rune users but not everyone can use it.

These magic runes are used in combination with weapons. I.E.: one swings their sword while combining the power of Reth to send a shockwave of earth towards the opponent. The magic is used by the symbol to channel their power through it. Often times, to make it easier to wield, the user etches the symbol on their weapon, or on some article of clothing they are wearing. Some magic can be used through words of the ancient language, and very rarely can be used through thought alone. Magic consume ones inner strength. In a nutshell, if you use magic too much or in a large quantity you’ll be a limp noodle by the end of it.

It is very rare for someone to be able to channel more than one rune.

Each element tends to play an affect on the users personality, though is not 100% of the time.

Fyre: Tends to be courageous.
Reth: Tends to be loyal.
Rin: Tends to be intellectual.
Sky: Tends to be strong willed.
Rai: Tends to be domineering.
Divine: Tends to be benevolent.
Rift: Tends to be malevolent.

If you have any questions in regards of the magic section, please PM me. I’ll answer all your questions.

Please post your characters and any questions that you may have for me. When I’m sure that we have enough players to start I will make the IC thread and post the link.

I'll just start off with one character for an example.

Name: Zachary “Zack” Zadkiel

Age: 15

Gender: Male

Race: Anthrop Fox

Appearance:

Occupation: Chardendalian Royal Elite Guard

Equipment: Fenix (broadsword)

Hometown: Mali Village

Alliance: Chardendale

Daeva Element: Fyre

Traits: Zachary is a very bold, brash young man. He often talks too much and is very straightforward. Though what he says may be harsh at times he means it sincerely. He has a heart of gold and honors the code of the sword. He often rushes into situations headfirst even if he doesn’t understand it.

History: Zack was grew up in the small village of Mali, just outside the city of Chardendale with his mother and baby sister. He knew very little of the world outside his village.

At the age of 9, while outside playing with friends near the forest, he was attacked by wild monsters. At that moment young Zachary’s life altered as the power of the Daeva Rune of Fyre ignited within him and exploded in a fiery passion, incinerating the monsters that attack. He, himself, had no idea what happened. Upon returning home he told his mother, in which she told him of his true upbringing.

He was the son of the famous Crimson Knight. A man of much respect held in Chardendale, known for his vast powers in magic and leadership. He had retired from battlefield and settled down in Mali for a normal life, where he met his wife. After his youngest daughter was born he was called back by oath into battle but never returned.

From then on for a year Zack trained his hardest to master his powers, learning of the runes.

While outside fending off monsters outside his village a traveling band of knights were passing by and saw his ability to use the rune. They decided to scout him. His mother, yet reluctant, was happy to see her child become something than just a farmer. At the age of 10, he was the youngest person to be recruited into the guard.

Five years later he grew into a highly skilled fighter and a member in the Royal Elite Guard.

Other: N/A

Name:Jake Blakeway (knows as Jay,or 'the crafter')
Age:15 (due to turn 16 in a weeK)
Gender:Male
Race:Hume (human)
Appearance:Jake stands at 6"0",he is tall for his age and has dark brown hair that looks black,and can only be distingusihed if you go up close.He has a small nose and a large pair of ears,he wears most of the time blacksmths clothes in a black colour,and always wears his black tool apron,with tools in,when he is around the town.
Occupation: Gun making Weaponsmith and a Science type mage as a hobby
Equipment: Guns,not a specific,just what ever he can grab...lots of weaponsmiths tools (hammer etc)
Hometown:Shrewsline
Alliance:More towards the Empress
Daeva Element:N/A
Traits:Kind,but always has a view on everything.Tends to speak and act in a posh manner due to selling things to the rich and posh.
History:Jake grew up in a working class family in the Cerulian nation .Jake never went to school or anything like that,his father taught him to read and write.But form an age of 5,his old Father taught him how to make guns.His father was the only Gun maker in the region and the rich flocked to him for the guns,and even the Empress herself had visited his father and him.Now of course making a gun is a hard thing to master so it is hard to get them made enmass so his father sold them at a high price,but by 13 He was too old to make guns and the Nations rich and powerful were starting to worry they would run out.But Jake took over.At first it took them a while to trust Jakes ingenuity,Jake had many ideas on how to advance the technology,but after proving his protoypes worked the rich flocked once again.Jake is a family boy,giving nearly all of his prfits to his parents who live over the weaponsmiths shop.Jakes dream is to make guns the Nations standard weapon and make then so anyone can buy them.

Jake himself can not harness the pwer of Runes.It made Jake very upset as all of his friends could.So jake wanted to find away to do it ithout the person doing anything.He spoke to the Empress during her yearly visit to his father and him and she was willing to help Jake out.Sending down a yound female Appretnice Mage (and i mean Aprretnice) she and Jake were able to start making new technology,and Jake is nearing a breakthrough that the non-Rune upper class cannot wait for.Combining a rune to a gun to fire bullets linked to that element or based around that concept.

As for Jakes future.with the war increasing the Empress is investing more into Jake and his weaponsmith,his father now also working day and night with him,So Jake can make guns for a special Gun divison for her Empresses Army and also so Jake can finish he reasrach into the ultimate weapons.the weapons of war.

I hope the IC goes up today, i need something to do

I'm so very sorry about the long wait, but for whatever reason the server for me wouldn't allow me to even enter this site. But it did give me more time to think. I would've had it up much sooner.

The IC thread is up and ready for play.

Since this is still accepting more players.. I'd like to give it a go.

Name: Sera Leslie 'Swan'
Age: 14

Gender: Female

Race: Hume

Appearance:

The picture also shows her favourite form of dressing. Which means she is often seen dressed as shown in the picture. I will explain in detail if otherwise.

Occupation: Free-Lance (Any job goes, so long it isn't strenuous. Her opinions take priority unless circumstances state so.)

Equipment: Prefers to rely more on Magic or unarmed combat. Capable of using any weapon, but not to a skilful level.

Home town: Cerulian

Alliance: Neutral.

Daeva Element: Divine

Traits: Kind-hearted and caring. She may not exactly be warm to the first stranger she meets on the streets, but she will not hesitate to help those in need, whoever the person may be- even if the person is her enemy. (Not like she'll go undefended, even this help rendered is accompanied by caution on her part)

Particularly well-versed in unarmed combats, her fighting style is pretty unique too. She does not make use of her own internal strength to bring down the enemy, but instead, relies on the enemies' exerted force, turning it against the foe to ultimately bring him down. The fighting pose and style throughout battle tend to be elegant and graceful (As commented by most who witnessed the style)

For more details on her fighting style, you could refer to Avatar: The Last Airbender (Yeah, that cartoon series.), and watch how the Water Benders fight. Sera's fighting style is adapted from the Water Benders, namely, Tai Chi.

History: Born an orphan in Cerulian wasn't good. At least, that was what Sera believed, even now. Despite this, she was still sent to school to be educated. This was a blessing in disguise, as she managed to become literate (To ensure her own survival in the harsh world later on), and versed in combat. Also, it was the time spent in this time that helped her learn to harness the power of the Runes, where she found her Daeva element, Divine, awakened during one of the training battles. This was all within the time where she was 5-7.

Now, at age 14, she can scarcely remember exactly the age she was when those happened. To her, those were memories she didn't want to dig into, especially when it was accompanied by memories of bullying from other kids, and harsh training by teachers who stereotyped her. Over the 7-9 years that went past, she perfected her fighting style to what it is today by sheer creativity and continuous efforts.

She didn't learn much of her own Daeva element though, the school she attended having students who mostly held the element Rin. Not that it matters to her now, seeing as she have just left the school to be live life out her own way. (If stated in her own words)

Others: She does not feel one bit of loyalty to her home town, though she does hold some amount of respect for the Empress, Xiu Juan. Nicked 'Swan' because her graceful and elegant fighting style resembles a swan, which many use to represent grace and elegance.

Very nice, and welcome Logarthims. Thank you for your submission, Sera. feel free to start posting on the IC thread at anytime. The link is in my post above.

i have posted..Underwolder...you dont mind being the empress do you?

A fast question. Can the Daeva Rune be a tattoo? Also I am reserving a spot Need time to think of a good character for the world

Welcome Sinaar. And yes, actually I thats a pretty good idea.

I do not have time to finish it atm After about an hour or two I will finish it But I hope it is well for now

Name: Aram'lor, also known as "Black Rose"
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Race:Elf
Appearance: Clickness... He also has white hair and red eyes.
Occupation: Mercenary
Equipment: Black Leather armor and two Shirasayas, One with black scabbard and hilt, the other pure white
Hometown: The town of Chithain from the county of Cerulian
Alliance: Mercenary
Daeva Element: Rift
Traits: Loyal to his friends and very twisted toward his enemies. He is a bit cold, but friendly to everyone.
History: He was born in the city of Chithain. During his childhood he did not have a lot of friends, because many joked around with his red eyes. At the age of five he was sent to the Cerulian academy. He showed admirable sword fighting skills. But even there he was joked around, but thankfully he had already gotten used to it. In time his fellow students started accepting him. He showed admirable team work. He was able to easily work with everyone, no matter who he was or what Aram'lor thought of him. Because of that special ability, he was sent to the Special Force of Cerulian at the age of fifteen. He trained in special moves and Daeva runes for four years. There he also had the Daeva Rune of Rift tattooed on his hand, but he covers the rune with a glove.
His first assignment was the assassination of the family of a notorious thief. After some information gathering, Aram'lor found out that the thief had left his family and has never returned to them for eight years. After refusing to kill them, he was exiled from the city. For two years he was a mercenary in other countries, choosing his duties carefully.
Other:

Posted! Added in some side information into the 'Others' segment of my character's information to explain the reason for her nickname. Not exactly a big change, really.

Thank you Sinaar for your submission.

And, remember I posted in below the rules that the leaders are technically NPC, just very important NPC. You can play them if you need, but I suppose I can help out.

As for the post that you said you added, I don't know if its just me but I can't find it.

Sorry, after I typed the above post, I took my own sweet time to make the post in the thread

Current Occupation: Any job that doesn't require commitment, pays on the spot and that he has no qualms with. Desperate times call for desperate measures, and sometimes you take what you got from someone else in order to live.
Equipment: Everyone has to defend themselves and the average person carrying around weapons isn't as unusual as one would think, Ronzo carries two rather poorly crafted but sturdy large knives, weapons he wouldn’t think twice about discarding for a better choice.

Ronzo fights with massive strength and untrained quickness, supplemented by his innovation in gadgetry rather than the volatile but budding magecraft of Rai. A quick learner, he uses what he is given. Swords, bows staves ...he has no preference and can use them all but excels at neither. Just like everything he does in life, a jack of all trades ...a master of none.

Hometown: Xuag Lou, Cerulian. As far back as he can remember.
Alliance: Cerulean
Daeva Element: A novice in using Rai
Traits: Daring and above the law, to accomplish greater things Foresten does not mind treading that path. Even his mannerisms show it, but there are some few things in the world he feels responsibility for.

OK I finished the sheet... I think I hope it is fine

You mentioned your character having the Daeva Runes imprinted on him in the form of a tattoo, right? However, it doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere in your character sheet. Is it omitted for plot expansion purposes, or hidden from others intentionally (By the character, that is)?
