Roleplay Online with RolePlayGateway

Sounds interesting i'll join do you have a charchter sheet you need up?

Guidelines and other Information

The Rules
-Obviously the forums rule apply and the standard rping rules that should be common sense to most of you. This includes no godmodding or any other modding what so ever.
-All posts should be at least a paragraph (three to four sentences). No one liners please. You can be descriptive, i know you can.
-Only accepted members can post in the IC Thread and only IC can happen there. (Unless it's something like trying to explain something you feel may be confusing to the readers or stating this is your last post for the night or something.) I'm not too strict on this, I just want more IC posts than ooc.
-Follow the rules of the land. See below to read more in it. I will be keeping track of each sections weather and whether it is morning, afternoon or night.
-PLEASE specify where your character is on the very top of your post. Kind of like a title. (Ie: Cade is in Kaldaka) This is only for organization since this world we're rping in is huge! This also helps other rpers trying to join in to find where the most people are at so they can drop their character there and begin rping.
-Speaking dropping characters. Your very first post will start you out in this vast world so be careful where you drop your character at in the kingdom. Once you post, you'll begin the rules of the land rule for the rest of your posts.
-I have the full right to add more rules as I wish. I will warn you if I do.

The Council

Currently, since this thread is very new, I will be playing the entire council. However, when I get more people, I will be searching for people to take the npcs place of each race to be my council. Obviously I'll be staying the Head Chairmen.

In the story, The current Council is responsible for the private treaty between all races. Each main race has a spot in the council and that person has the responsibility to be the leader of their own town. All decisions however, will be discussed with the Head Chairmen. All of the council communicate either by traveling to a chosen town or through hawks who travel from town to town with a message tied to their foot.

Current Council
The Head Chairmen:
Lord Cyrus Sjachpaw

Council
Lord Bade Othokenti - Voice of the Werewolves
Lady Eadoin Svorcra - Voice of the Witches
Count Daemyn Thurkear - Voice of the Vampires
Lord Galvin Temesj - Voice of the Humans

Rules of the Land

Due to finding this rule faulty, it is now revamped. New rule:

Your traveling is based on your posts. It will take three, count them, THREE, posts in order to travel from one town to the next.

Your first post is describing you heading out of the first town.
Your second post is describing how your travel is going between towns.
Your third post is describing you entering your next destination.

How Time Works:

Time works this way. Don't worry you wont have to keep track, I will. But this is so you know the ways of my madness. Starting now, I will determine the exact time it is in the game. Once I determine this, every single post after will equal 5 minute of the games time.

The math: 12 posts = 1 hour of game time.

Suggestions/comments on this are welcome.

The Races

Werewolves
Where they originated:
The Outposts of Kaldaka within the Xarzith Mountains
They Specialize In:
Blacksmithing weapons, armor and all other metalwork.

Werewolves have no need for medical centers in their nomadic outposts as they have the ability to quickly regenerate over an amount of time. The only time they need medical attention is if they're hit by silver. Werewolves are extremely allergic to silver. If it gets in their blood stream, they have only a few hours to find the antidote that reverses the effect. Stabbing them in the heart with the silver kills them minutes later instead of hours as it goes straight for the heart. Their silver antidote is stored in their leaders large cabin and a case is delivered out to each member of their tribe each month.

Werewolves have the ability to shift from their human form to their werewolf and wolf form when ever they choose. Yes, not only do werewolves have human forms but they have normal wolf forms. Their eyes, in all forms are generally any shade of yellow to green. it's rare to find them any other color. The only werewolf that has different eyes is the Head Chairmen because he's a hybrid, a deep purple color. (If you want your wolves eyes two toned of those shades, you may. If you wish your wolf to have another shade of eye color, speak with me.)

Witches
Where they originated:
The Village of Arcaniss in the center of the Forest of Levex
They Specialize In:
Alchemist, Their own practice of medicine(Witch Doctors), Magical items

Witches generally are humans gifted with the dark arts. Warlocks(male witches), witches(female witches), necromancers and demonologists are some of the few that reside in this coven. Some witches have been found within other races besides humans however, this includes the werewolf hybrid that is the Head Chairmen. It is rare though, as the Goddess of the Black Widow only see humans fit to control her gifts of magic.

The large black widows that cover the forest are praised by the Witches, giving them thanks for their powers. Each witch, based on what they specialize in, receives their own Book of Magic. The witches do no believe in the modern style medicine that the vampires have the other races practicing. Instead, they rely on their witch doctors for healing using the herbs found in their own forests.

Vampires
Where they originated:
The Town of Iejir that sits on the jagged cliffs that overlook Haruhe Ocean
They Specialize In:
What they consider the modern medicine of this age.

Sunlight does not kill them instantly but will severely burn their skin if outside for too long. After about an hour, they'll finally burn alive so I wouldn't recommend it. They do heal but can only heal after a full days rest. They don't regenerate as quickly as a werewolf can. No holy water, crosses, garlic and all of those superstitions don't work on them. Obviously driving a stake in their heart or severing their head will though(no one can survive that, duh! o.o).

Picture these vampires as the romanticized type where they've got flawless skin and significant beauty. If you wish to roleplay some other type of vampire (ie: Dhampire or whatever other type of vampires there are) then ask me and we'll discuss it alright?

On Donors/Blood:
Vampires generally get their sources from willing donors or from the blood bank where they well preserve their blood as best as they can.

Humans
Where they originated:
The town of Sthyr that sits on the beaches of Ruhahe Ocean.
They Specialize In:
They're generally all around people but specialize in Horse Trading, bringing mounts to the various races in need of them.

Obviously I don't have to explain these guys haha. If I do then shame on you. -shakes fist-

On Half Breeds/Hybrds

If you want to bring in hybrids or half breeds of some sort, please discuss with me what races you're combining and what features/abilities you're wanting your character to have. I don't want the ultimate killer machine running around.

Last but not least, the character sheet! Post your character onto here and I'll accept or reject or help you tweak it. Remember, if you've got any questions don't be afraid to ask. ^_^

Delete the parenthesis stuff when posting your profile. They're just guidelines.

It doesn't have to be a book, just a couple of paragraphs so I can get a view of your rp style. Doesn't matter the topic. and DO NOT beef it up so you can get accepted then your rp style change to something else in the IC Thread please? )

Anything else you'd like to add on, say like some sort of pet or something I missed..you may add it.

Thanks Aznmafia. Just posted the character sheet for you if you still wish to join. By the way, could you do me a favor and delete your question post so the information is more uniform? Thanksies!

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Name: Aaron Forrow

Race: Vampire

Residence: Currently in a room in a tavern in the Hemata District.

Age: Appears in mid twenties.

Gender: M

Skilled With: War Axes, heavy armor

Appearance: Wears a black cloack, hood up in the day, hood down in the night. He has short white hair, and blood red eyes. His skin is pale, and hair is usally unkept. When in battle he wears a suit of heavy plate mail armor.

Personality: Slow to form bonds, doesn't soalcilize much. If you do crack his exterior, he is a valuable friend and ally, and always protects his friends.

History: Fairly new to being a vampire, Aaron is still getting used to life syle. He currently is renting a room in a tavern. The tavern is also where he finds clients, as he is a killer for hire. He mostly takes care of things city guards won't, and doesn't mind any contracts outside the law. He seldom leaves his room during the day, only to meet with a client every now and again. At night, he walks the grounds of the Hemata District.

Entry Post: Aaron sat in the tavern. Midday and still no contracts. He leaned back in his chair, his cloak flowed down the sides of the chair. Some one walked in, a city guard. Aaron sat up instantly, and pulled off his hood. The guard came over to his table, and pulled up a chair.

"You're needed." The guard said to Aaron.

"What's the job?" Aaron replied. He was used to visits like this, guards came to him often. Despite their line of work, they didn't like to perform large scale attacks, and having an extra man always helps.

"We've discovered a band of theives taking refuge in an old house. They've been ransacking stores for a while, and now we know where they are. Numbers are unknown, so we need a skilled man to assit us." The guard explained the situation.

"Where, when, and what's the pay?" Aaron replied.

"So you accept?"

"Did I say that?"

"Excuse me. The break in is at a house a few streets over. We'll operate under cover of night."

"Pay out?"

"To be discussed."

"Fine, I accept."

"Good, be ready an hour before midnight. We'll come to get you." The guard got up and left. Aaron walked up to his room to prepare for the attack. In his room was his bed, a table with a few chairs, and a bench with his armor and war axe on it. He picked up his war axe, it was large to the point where it needed two hands. He checked the blade, and set it down.

Aaron sat in tavern one again, this time suited for battle. The guard once again entered. He held a sheild and carried a sheathed short sword. He was dressed in the armor all city guards wore.

"Come with me." He said Aaron got up, and rested his axe on his shoulder. They walked out, to meet another guard. They walked in the dead silence of night to the house. A man was crouched at the door, picking the lock.

"Got it!" he said silently. He opend the door, and the small group entered.

"You two, check the basement." The guard said pointing at Aaron and another guard. They tried the door.

"Locked" said the guard. "Let me get my picks out of my pock-" CRASH! Aaron knocked down the door with his axe. "Shall we?" He said.

"I'm glad your on our side." Said the guard The descened the stairs. The basement looked empty, but it was dark, which can be very tricky. "Do you see anything?" Said the guard.

"No." Aaron replied. "You?" The gaurd didn't reply. "Hello?" Aaron ducked down, realizing the situation. With both hands, he swung the axe ine a three-hundred degree circle around him. He hit something behind him.

"Bastard! My legs!" SOme one cried. Aaron got up, and saw the man on the floor, and the guard, his neck slit.

"Killing a city watchmen, death penalty." Aaron said. He brang the axe down on the man's neck, just as he tried to yell a meager "No!" The axe thunked on the ground, and the man's head rolled on the floor. Aaron pulled a bottle out of a hidden pocket in the lining of his chest plate and filled it with the man's blood. He placed it back. He ascened the stairs. The other guards stood in the main room, two theives bound on the floor.

"In the basement, two dead. One hostile, one guard. I expect pay tommorow." Aaron walked out of the house to his room in the tavern.

You did do it right. Accepted! ^_^

One question though, when you said hood up in the day. Are you meaning your vampire travels during the day? Uses it for protection from the suns rays?

My Characters

Name: Ninette Duulo Kethend
Race: Human
Residence: Traveler
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Skilled With: She only has a dagger for protection. She replies more on her pet wolf.
Pets: A gray wolf named Troth and her white horse named Aussir
Appearance: Ninette stands at a short 5'3 making her look like nothing more than a child. Her eyes are ice blue and her hair reaches down passed her waist, colored the lightest of browns. Her skin is a fair tone but she's generally in a floor length long sleeved gown to cover most of it. This is mainly due to her constant travels up to Kaldaka in the frozen mountains. She also is usually seen in a pale violet cloak with rose details stitched around the entire rim of it. Her short dagger rests in a sheath at her waist, the only protection besides her wolf she has.
Personality: The girl has a very quiet soft spoken tone of voice but her heart is loud and proud. She is generally curious and tends to find her way out of paying things. It's what she does, finds her way out of obstacles. She is also perceptive and keen on her senses thanks to her years of traveling. This will only get greater as she ages.
History: Losing her parents to a recent scare of the plague, both Ninette and her sister Cadelaria saw it fit to go their separate ways in the kingdom to grow up how they wish. Ninette always had a love and interested for traveling which also made her find the werewolves more appealing to hang out with. With her pet wolf at her side, Ninette spends most of her days traveling to Kaldaka and back to Ulnaus either to deliver their supply of the silver antidote or just to visit them in the mountains. She wasn't old enough to feel the aftermath and suffering of the war, nor did she remember much of it. All she knows is the world is peaceful now and she can freely travel to her werewolf friends when she wishes.

Name: Cadelaria Shehad Kethend
Race: Human
Residence: Ulnaus City
Age: 25
Gender: Female
Skilled With: Chooses not to wield a weapon. Musically she is skilled with a violin type instrument and singing.
Appearance: Cadelaria stands around 5'7 in height, taller than her sister Ninette. Her voice is also very soft spoken but it's because she's shy and a bit fearful of going out of the walls of Ulnaus City. Her skin is fair but slightly more tan than Ninettes, more like an olive tone. Her hair isn't as long either, instead it reaches her mid back and a more deeper brown than her sisters. Her eyes are also a darker blue. Her clothes generally are the colors that mark a witch, black and purple. She is almost always carrying her violin around so she's got something to do when not working at the local tavern.
Personality: Cade is really shy and fearful, not much of an adventurous type like her younger sister. Instead, the girl speaks with her musical talent. Her music is sad or happy depending on her mood at that moment. Even though she's soft spoken and shy, she generally wants to have interesting conversations and perhaps make friends with many.
History: Read Ninettes to get a full story. Parting ways with her sister, Cadelaria left her home for sale at Sthyr and moved to Ulnaus to try to make a living. She currently works at the Town Square Tavern where she also uses a room to sleep.

Name: Lord Cyrus Caex Sjachpaw
Race: Werewolf/Warlock hybrid
Residence: His home is the giant castle in the middle of Ulnaus City.
Age: 300 years, looks to be in his mid 20's.
Gender: Male
Skilled With: Broad sword and the dark arts of magic.
Appearance: Cyrus stands at a tall 6'4. He is very unique for a werewolf, having deep purple eyes instead of golden eyes. His wavey black hair hits a bit passed his shoulders, usually kept down and flowing free. His body is toned with muscle of a warrior still ready for battle. His skin is tanned lightly but not flawless as his body is covered in battle wounds from the war. His nails are kept long and sharp, due to the fact that he is a werewolf.
Personality: A very romantic yet serious person. He wasn't named Head Chairmen just for his looks, no it was for his ability to reason and lead an entire group. He was once a general of his band of werewolf warriors during the war and now he leads the entire kingdom. Still having the nomadic and feral nature of his werewolf side, Cyrus is constantly seen outside of his castle traveling about the city to stretch his legs. He has the constant urge to move, but fighting it to stay true to his position as Chairmen. He has manners like a true gentleman, you'll never see a bad hair on his body to any woman what so ever. However, don't expect the same kindness if you're male.
History: Cyrus grew up in the mountainous region of Kaldaka where he moved with his tribe from outpost to outpost. This time was rough to group up as when he was born, the war between races was still going. He constantly trained each time they moved, progressing through the stages of becoming a warrior to fight along side his father. When it came time for him to leave to the battlefield, a letter was sent to him that his father had been killed and appointed him to lead his group. No time to weap for his lost kin, Cyrus immediately went to the field to take the place of his father.

Cyrus led a successful group of barbarians and warriors through the fields, taking down anything who dared crossed their path. Years after years the battle continued, his men finally growing too weak from exhaustion. Younger warriors took the place of the elder ones and once he saw his younger brother, not even ready to step foot in battle, standing beside him..he had enough. He called off all attacks from his team and walked out onto the field towards the opposing leaders, proposing a meeting. It took a lot of trying and reasoning but each one finally saw what he saw. Their young was being destroyed, not able to finish their childhood to fight a never ending war. The death toll was growing with each day they fought and the entire kingdom was laying in ruins. It was time to band together to recreate their once beautiful lands thus The Council was created and the peace treaty was formed.

100 years later, all of the controversy is finally over and each race for the most part has accepted their neighbors as friends instead of foes. Now he stands as ruler of the kingdom, overlooking from the very top tower of his castle to make sure no new war begins.
