Kalnar Dun Unleashed(OOC Thread)

Kalnar Dun Unleashed

(revised remake)

"1,000 years ago, in the land of Kalnar Dun, there was a dark and all-powerful wizard. Elsana, he was called, and even when his name was spoken, it was in hushed, frightened voices. In secret he concocted a powerful poison. In secret he placed the gorgeous potion in the Goblin King's quarters. And, not being able to resist the delicious drink, the Goblin King was turned into Elsana's soldier. With his immense power, Elsana removed the Goblins from their precious gold mines and into Kalnar Dun where he used them as puppets. These puppets were to overtake the free kingdoms by sheer number. The resistance was futile. To fight back was to perish. The people simply began to give up. The greedy Elsana transformed Kalnar Dun into an impenetrable fortress. The goblins waxed under the dominion of the dark wizard, and their numbers grew tremendously.

The world's grandest cities were simply overrun by the mass armies of Elsana. The dark wizard had learned to make trolls and giant scorpions bend to his will, and it was a terrible sight indeed. The populace did what they could do. Flee. But even so, there was a small resistance. It was a hopeless gesture, but the people knew it would be this or total domination.

The Alliance of men and dwarves met the host at the great gates of Kalnar Dun. The army was flanked by a contingency of scorpion riders from one side, and a group of trolls from the other. The goblins came in from the front, and decimated the confused warriors. All hope was lost. Beldar, the King of the Dwarves, was slain by a boulder thrown from over 40 yards. The brave soldiers of the Alliance all perished that day, and the enemy grew stronger as they knew that not only their only enemies had died, but they had captured a few thousand sets of some of the greatest dwarven forged arms and armor known to man."

You play the role of a a warrior, ranger, or civilian trying to live in this once great world Gadrenal. Rolepaly as part of the Light or Darkness trying to either save or destroy this world and take it down into the misty darkness of forever night.

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

Bios:

A bio is necessary for your character, a picture is recommended but you can also just do a very discriptive descripton.
I do not have a bio template for a reaon, I want YOU to be creative and make it yourself, so you can put anything you want as customized and unique as you want, remember that the more unique your character is, the better.

Here is an example of the bios I expect. Thier just bi;s, so I dont really expect them too great.

Name: Elequim

Age: 26 - 27

Darkness or Light: He has fought for both sides, dark and light, each of them have qualities that he either likes or dislikes. His creator was a wanderer, a necromancer or some sort. 26 - 27 years ago the necromancer tookhim as a young boy and cast spells apon him to make him fit for assistcance for reasons that could not be met because soon after the wanderer was killed by a village mob.

Appearance:


Weapons: Regular mace, not chained but just a large spikes ball on the end of a strong metal rod with a wooden handle, accompanied by a short sword.

Personality: He has a combination of mixed personalities, at some times he will have a caring nature that could last weeks or months at a time, where he stays in villages or castles of the light. Where as other times he will for unexplainable reasons turn evil and bloodthirsy, killing or attacking what he cares about and living in the dark of the caves of Kalnar Dun where the mist and shadows lie.

Background History: In a short description, he was created by a wandering necromancer for aid in reaons that could not be met, because the wanderer was soon killed after that by a villages mob. So young Elquim who was once an elven boy was set on his own and in the wilderness of the night, where he aged into a warrior that fights on both sides yes isn't nuetral. More will be talked about during the roleplay.

[Owl]

Hyzenthlay (shining dew on fur)
Young Woman maybe around 18 to 20 years in age
appearance: 120 lbs and 5'9"
http://doodlepad.deviantart.com/art/Druid-119151694

http://doodlepad.deviantart.com/art/Ruf ... -119152065

Powers: Her desire is to live in the wilderness where the trees and streams and mountain peaks call to her. She understands animals and their ways and so therefore can track and hunt. She speaks to and lives with bears, wolves, deer and fantasy creatures. Hyzenthlay's best animal companion is Rudoe, a bull elk, who serves as a horse and protector. The greatest of her abilities are the ones which have puzzled her mentor the most, her ability to transform into monsters: werewolves, werebears, and giant owl like birds. However she hasn't mastered the ability to control when or what she transforms into. It's a most unusual and rare occasion for these transformations to occur. However they leave her animal like in behavior.

History: Thylali Had watched over her as a child, however it was an old wandering wizard that mentored her, teaching her to read write and speak, as well as how to control her shape shifting. She served as a study for him. It must have been some great power that had given Hyzenthlay her gift and he wanted to unlock that power. However she was difficult to work with seeing that she would run off and disappear in the wilderness for months on end.
One sunny morning Hyzenthlay had gone to seek her master's guidance when his little hobble near the creek had obviously been abandoned. All of his things were there but they were strewn about in a mess. Something came and drove her master away.

So she began her adventure with Rudoe on the search for the old Wizard.

I liked your bio, it seems like your character would be nice for this Roleplay.
You can make your intro post whenever you feel that you would like to, preferably not at a tavern or inn.

As much as I love The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion im kind of trying to make this original, so before you start could you please take out Tom Bombadil and Goldberry? Thanks, and welcome to the thread.

[Owl]

yeah no problem 0.<

She lost her family to the endless fighting and killing leaving her to tae care of her brothers and doing a little bit more. Soon though her youngest brother died of diease.

[Blade]

Your bio looks good Akieko, you're welcome to make your intro post.

[Akieko94]

Thanks! so much. I'll get to posting right away.

[Owl]

Are we waiting for more characters to join?

[Moblin Killer]

I hope you are, I getting excited about this one.

NAME : Benjamin Noranis

DARKNESS - LIGHT : Works to stop the armies of darkness from possibly destroying his home.

SPECIES : Human

AGE : 28

POWER : Spell Enchanter (Uses words to channel the magic around him into a form of his disire. The more syllables and specific, the more powerful it is. One stanza per post. Must be put in rhyme. For example,

Post one
Infront of me stands my enemy thine,
rise around him, stalagmites nine.

Post two
Encircle him, make a cage,
against your strength he will never wage.

Post three
Crush him, stalagmites nine,
make this problem again never mine.

Like that. That would summon a nine stalagmites to encricle the enemy and crush within three posts.)

WEAPONS : Uses whatever he can lay his hands on to defend himself with. While this makes him versatile, he is never a proffesional with every weapon he encounters. Also, his words.

APPEARANCE : Large frame, broad shoulders, six feet tall. Head slightly forward, but high chin. Short brown hair, but with bangs in the front that go down to the brow, covering the forehead but not getting in the way of the eyes. Brown leather vest reaching to the waist, no sleeves, unbuttoned, hanging loosely. Under that, a simple white long sleeved shirt (any material) that also hangs loosely around the arms and torso, but tight around the wrists, stained in many places. Simple cloth (any kind) pants that are loose around the legs but snug on the waist, with a red cloth belt around them anyway, also slightly loose. Leather boots reaching a few inches above the ankle but the same few inches are hidden by the cuff of the pants. Laces also hidden. Boots (simply use work boots as a base) are dark brown leather, laces a simple pitch black. Soles of the boots a darker brown than the leather. Caucasian complection, but tanned by the sun slightly. Knuckles slightly hairy, and a small light-green ring on his right hand's pointer finger. Thin eyebrows, but ruffled. Light brown eyes (terrecata? (Spelling is wrong)) and a small scar on his chin, left side.

PERSONALITY : At most times, as a result of his training since a young age, he is cold, quiet, always prefering to stick to his crowd rather than go out on a limb. Sometimes, however, he comes out of his shell when he sees injustice or someone in dire need, unlike some of his family. A quick thinker, which helps in casting his spells, he has a knack for puzzles of logic or writing poetry.

BIOGRAPHY : Benjamin lived in a hidden village somewhere between Kalnar Dun and Avon Den, but since leaving has no idea where it is. Becuase of the natural word weaving talents of both parents, Benjamin is an excellent spell fighter. While he was training with other word weavers, his father was killed in a battle with silently aproaching goblins that were passing the village, close to even finding the passage leading to it, but his father was able to hide the passage to the village with magic before the goblins could find it. After finishing his own training, Benjamin was sent out into the open world to improve his skills up to the point at which he felt he could return to the village through a trial set up by the elders. If he could find the entrance to his village once more and reverse a gateway spell put upon the outside of the path by the elders, he could return and join a sub-council that would lead the village and help protect it. However, once he had left the village, he had been gagged and blinded by passing thieves a few miles off, and therefore does not remember where his home is now. After his kidnapping, he escaped once he could speak and channel magic once again. Now, hearing of the goblin army and their leader at a nearby town, Benjamin vowed that he would stop that army, for if they found his village, it would be decimated by there ruthlessness.

There, hows that?

[Owl]

I like it but I think you gotta wait n see what blade says

[Blade]

I like it MoblinKiller,

When ever you're ready you can post, and sorry about the late reply.

Owl, if there are any bios like that, or like the ones that we've already posted than they are able to join, I only dont let godmodders join,people who dont post enough detail, or people who are very bad with thier grammar.

Anyway, Im looking foward to your post Moblin.

[ZenMon]

Name: Darrick

Age: 22

Allegiance: He holds no allegiance to either side, but he follows whoever can pay him the most and can offer him the most in return for his services.

Species: Human

Abilities: He is a highly skilled assassin, a very good poison/potion maker, and he can virtually blend in with the shadows. (You'd have to be really looking for him to find him)

Appearance:

Personality: Darrick is impassive and uncaring, just as any assassin should be. He feels no remorse for those who fall to the bite of his kama, and he has no problem slaughtering anyone who gets in the way of his target. He doesn't normally trust anyone, and he is slow to make any allies.

Weapons: The dual chained kama in the picture, as well as a black bladed katana.

Bio: Darrick was born in a small, secluded village, far away from any major civilizations. He lived an unhappy childhood, with an uncaring mother and an abusive father. Almost daily, his father beat him in their home, and his mother would only watch. He was helpless to fight back, since his father was a sizable man and rather strong. He still bears a few scars from those beatings. They are a constant reminder to his past. And with every beating, Darrick's hatred, malice, and disgust for his father grew. During one scuffle, he fought back. After that struggle, Darrick was the only one that walked away. The corpse of his father can still be seen in the barn (although it's decayed) with the pitchfork through it's skull, nailing it to the wall. Darrick felt relieved that his tormentor was finally out of the picture. When he returned to his mother, she called him a monster and sank to the ground sobbing. Darrick grew enraged at his mother's actions, so he slew her too. Then, bloodlust overwhelmed him. He grew paranoid, thinking that everyone in the village was going to kill him for his actions. He went into every household as the families slept and murdered every single one. Not even the village children were spared. Darrick fell to his knees in the village square, his dark deeds complete. Staring at his bloody hands, he knew that he was destined to end the lives of others. That very night, he took up the mantle of the assassin. Darrick was only sixteen.

For several years after the massacre of the village, he trained in the art of assassination, and he took contracts from many people to test his skills. So far, he hasn't failed one assignment. His skills have increased from when he first started his occupation, and they continue to grow. He moves from city to city, taking contracts and then moving on. He never stays in one area for more than a month.

[Blade]

SpudJohnson,

Im not trying to be mean or anything, but I can't accept you into the thread with the bio so short. I like the overall character but I just dont think you put enough thought into it, and when you said Bio: (Will be added later, can't really think of one right now.)

I know that I said that bios dont really have to be anything fancy in the opening post, but they need to be a bit more descriptive.

Sorry, but you'll be accepted once you have lengthened your character description, and written a bio.

[ZenMon]

I edited in a bio and added a little bit more. Is it acceptable?

[Blade]

Yes, thanks for editting it.

You are welcome to make an intro post on the IC thread whenever you're ready.

[Moblin Killer]

It seems this is getting more and more popular. Oh, by the way, I noticed you have a link from the IC to here, but not the other way around. That would make things easier for people interested if you did have a link from here to the IC, just so people would know how everyone else Roleplayed here.

[Blade]

Thats a good idea, Moblin Killer.

Im going to do that.

EDIT: Now that we've prettymuch got all of our main characters into the the roleplay (Hopefully spudjohnson will have his character meet up with ours soon) I think that we need to think of some type of storyline or something that they are trying to accomplish. It will get boring soon if we dont have our characters any goals but to wander around the map of Gadrenal.

Do any of you have any ideas? We've got the basic background histroy about Gadrenal, so do any of you have any ideas for what our characters can try to accomplish or do? We can have alot of sub-stories and such too, just depends on what the main storyline would be.

[Moblin Killer]

The Return of Elsana, or maybe a demon king, or maybe even some all powerful dude is trying to destroy Kalnar Dun as he sees it corrupted by Darkness. Actually, that third one sounds to be my favorite.

[Blade]

That actually sounds like a good idea, I kind of thought of a way to combine two of them together.

We could say that Elsana returns as some type of sprit/demon and retakes control of Kalnar Dun, regaining his power over the goblins, and making one last effort to take Gadrenal as his own.

then if we make it to a second thread, we could say that someone all powerful is leading to destroy(Maybe the three kings of the different races) form an alliance once more to fight off evil again.

How does that sound?

[Kravos]

Uh-huh, you know this sounds fun blade. Mind if i join or are you all full?
