Introduction

Image
Dunshire Manor was once, 17 years ago, home to a family of nobles, the Castiel Family. Mr.Castiel being the head general of the Army of Orwell's Kingdom, also known as the most powerful army in The Land. Known for its talented alchemists, ruthless warriors, and beautiful, captivating structure, the Kingdom of Orwell had a very prestige society, which was home of many famous people. Mrs.Castiel, who was known to be one of the most powerful Alchemist in The Land, gave birth to a girl, they named Amaryllis, who was named after her birth flower. It was in Mrs.Castiels last breath, before Amaryllis was brought into the world, that her alchemy and sacrificed life to save her child, tainted Amaryllis. Which gave their daughter a power so great, and so rare that Mr.Castiel and his subjects had to protect her from the world. She gained the ability of healing.

Though, in the very depths of Hell, powerful demons yearned for Amaryllis's light, believing that her power would be able to open the gates of Hell, so demons could final rule over Earth. One by one, selfish, powerful demons tried to capture Amaryllis, though Mr.Castiel was a very strong man, and fought them off with help from his subjects. It wasn't till the day, a royal, mystical demon named Ryss and Mr.Castiel had a fought to the death. Ultimately, Mr.Castiel was killed, though with one final blow, killed Ryss...the last demon thought to try to capture Amaryllis. The one year old Amaryllis was now without parents, and different from all the world.

For the past 17 years, she lived in an orphanage for children whose parents were nobles, and died by noble means, near The Castle of Orwell, in The Sanctuary of Truth. Here, they could learn the practices of Alchemy or Battle Tactics so that they may follow in their parents footsteps when they become older. On her 18th birthday, she was given Dunshire Manor, as well as a dangerous fortune that was left for her in her parents will...It was only her closest friends that she told about her power too, and it was them that she took with her to Dunshire Manor, in hopes to give them a better life. Her life seemed normal, she could live the life of a normal, noble girl...until today...the day she saved The Demon Prince.







Setting

The role play will take place in a Fantasy/Steampunk like Era with Victorian style elements. The government is strictly Monarchy, meaning that all capital cities will be Kingdoms run by royal family, regardless if their rule is corrupt. The nation in which the role-play will take place is known as The Lands, think of it as its own continent, their are others, though they are not important(...not yet). The most powerful kingdom is The Kingdom of Orwell, which most of the story will take place. Sky pirates are a very important part of this role-play, they are seen as enemies of The Land. They believe in either Democracy or Anarchy depending on the type of Pirates, most Sky Pirates do not land in cities or even towns, unless the towns are Sky Pirate friendly. Reason Sky Pirates are enemies of The Land, is because of their belief in elected representatives, which speaks against The Sanctuaries. The Sanctuaries are Holy Places which the Kings and Queens ancestors earned their rights to rule, and are now places of love and acceptance(Evil can not step foot in this place). The most modern modes of transportation are horse-carriages, steam car, steam ships, airships, sky-cycles, inventor contraptions and Blimps(though unless you make a deal with the sky-pirates it is very unsafe), although some prefer horseback riding. Important mythical creatures are Mer-people, Were-people, Elves, and Ogres, only because they will brought up a lot in the role-play.

-Let it be known that every Sky Pirate Leader, or Captain, is Battle Tactics Master. Skyships are steam operated, many townspeople believe that Skypirates are powerful Alchemists...they're not, they are actual the opposite. They are inventors


Practices

Alchemy: Alchemists, Necromancers, Witches, Wizards

Alchemy, is the form of magic which will be used in this role-play. The ability to use Alchemy is a recessive gene in this role-play, meaning not everyone can use it, you have to be born with it. Alchemists are able to manipulate certain elements, depending on the Family Element. Family Elements fall under Earth, Wind, Water, Fire, and in few cases Lightning. There are those who have the element of Darkness, though these are corrupted families, witches and wizards who live in caves and the thickets, hoping to cause chaos and summons demons to do their bidding. Everyone who is an Alchemist has a Mana Pool. A Mana Pool is the limitation on which you can use your Alchemy without becoming very strained and stressed, everyone has a different Mana Pool, that comes with practice, age, and Family Gene. Alchemists are able to manipulate the element, as for Fire and Lightning, these elements can only be created by the Alchemist themselves by sheer concentration.


Battle Tactics: Guardians, Warriors, Thieves, Mercenaries, Pirates, Rangers, Gunmen

Though not a magical practice, depending on the fighter, could make someone just as powerful as an Alchemist. The art of Battle Tactics is quite simple, there are different branches in which someone can learn how to use weaponry and other means of protection and attacking. Most basic being sword-play, or how to use a bow and arrow, which is everyone basic learning depending on what they want to excel in. Depending on what the person uses their skills for determines their title. Guardians protect certain people, usually being paid or given a bed to sleep in. Warriors go off to the Army where they could become Noblemen. Mercenaries track down murderers and bandits. Thieves are either novice fighters, or good fighters gone bad who are also sneaky, as seen as scum to others. Pirates, Rangers, and Hunters also learn battle tactics in order to survive doing what the love. Gunmen are a little different, not really falling under Battle Tactics, they use marksmanship learn within battle tactics to strike down their opponents.

Inventing: Artists, Painters, Writers, Contraptionists

This could be Artists, Painters, Writers, etc, though the most important type of inventor is known as a Contraptionist. A Contraptionist has the knowledge of Steam Power, and uses it with clock-work parts to create machines, weapons, and cars. Even more powerful inventors are Lightning Alchemists who can use their powers to operate their machines. It is these people who are responsible for making Steam-cars, Steam Ships, and Blimps.


Character List

*The Guardian, The Alchemist, and The Gunman are the close friends I was referring to. They will live in Dunshire Manor with Amaryllis, as well as a few maids and butlers, but those are NCP's.*

Amaryllis - Taken


Demon Prince - The first royal demon to step foot in the human world in 17 years, and is the son of Ryss, the demon who killed Amaryllis's father. He was sent to the human world to find and Capture Amaryllis to sacrifice her soul so that the gates of hell could be opened. Though when a band of witches and wizards nearly kill him, and wipe his memory clean...it is Amaryllis who saves him with her healing powers, also giving him Human Will and emotions in her healing. This will take place in the beginning of the role play, *if you are interested in this part please PM me.*
- The Demon Prince is probably the strongest of them all demons, though with his memory erased he doesn't quite know so. He knows his name and that he is not from 'around' Orwell, though he doesn't understand why he is stronger, faster, and can be more ruthless that the other people, as well as having enhanced senses, and a high vitality rate. He feels a very strong bond between himself and Amaryllis, regardless if it will blossom into a love interest, or stay loyal friends, he is very protective over her. *SPOILER ALERT* Over time he will become more aware of what he is, and he will have flash backs of Hell, and when he came to Earth...and what hes reason of being there is. Amaryllis's healing, causing him to become more humane forces him to fight between his demon urges and the human emotions he has gained. As well as over time, he realizes that he isn't just stronger and faster and has more animalistic senses, but he has a strange power over dark forces as well.


The Guardian - (Male)*probably Amaryllis's closest friend, for their parents died around the same time Amaryllis's parents died, so they've been best friends for a long time. Can use alchemy, though not very good at it, more of a weapon-using type guy.


The Alchemist - (Male or Female) very powerful Alchemist with a large Mana Pool, larger than most. [Taken]


The Gunman - (Male) a top-notch gunslinger and elaborate Contraptionist, being able to make machines with little to no effort and use his guns as though he's been doing it all his life.. Can use alchemy but won't be good at it, at all.

The clacking of the horse carriage was steady creatures of the forest stayed off the cobblestone road that allowed travelers to get from town to kingdom to town and so on. The air had a dim fog to it, as were the sky gray, though no signs of storms or rainy weather was present. The smell of the forest was always sweet though had a hint of musky blood, as though something dead was hanging from the tall, blinding trees. In the carriage sat four young adults, off to grave yard not too far, though in the outer limits of the lands owned by The Kingdom of Orwell, the most elaborate kingdom in all The Land. There was a quiet girl that sat closest to the door, peering out a small view between the curtained window and the uncurtained part, which she watched the slow moving carriage pass large trees, and the eyes of wild things that lived in the forest.

Amaryllis sighed as she fixed her eyes off of the window, and looked down into the cup of tea that was in her hand. It was her father that they were going to go visit, it was his 17th year anniversary death. She never knew her mother, but she paid her respects to her as well when she visited every year. She was wearing a simple, white maidens dress that showed her upper chest, and the start of her bosoms, with straps(not sleeves) that fell off her shoulders. It flowed long to the ground, just above her feet, where it could be seen that she was wearing a pair of white slippers. Her hands up to her elbows where covered by silk, white gloves and she wore a red cloak outlined in gold fabric over her outfit. Her hair fell as usually, bangs cut off to her eyebrow length, side bangs long falling down just below her stomach, and the rest of her hair falling below her lower back. She never wore makeup and yet she was still beautiful, which some woman weren't able to pull off.

She carefully sipped her tea as she tried to use perfect etiquette and not make eye contact with her loyal subjects and best friends."As you know," She started, her voice simple and sweet, high though not too high pitched," This is the 17th year anniversary of my fathers death. Though I didn't know him, I know what he had done for me. You all may have heard this story a hundred times,"She let out a small nervous laugh," but he truly did give his life for me. I appreciate that. I can't believe someone was trying to kidnap me and hold me for ransom." The story that everyone told her, only her fathers loyal subjects knew what truly happened that day. How the demon, Ryss, tried to capture her for her power of healing. She had been lied too her entire life, though it was probably for the best. She took another sip of her tea so that she'd get her mind off such saddening things. She tried to stay strong, always be stronger that she was expected to be. She wasn't as strong as her guardian, or as crafty as her gunman friend, or as gifted in alchemy as Magdalene, so she had to bring something to the table. Courage.

Re: [OOC] Flower in the Ashes

Is this role play still active, will it eventually start up, or has it been abandoned? I'm curious because I was very much interested in the plot.

Re: [OOC] Flower in the Ashes

@update: Just accepted The Alchemist, roles needed are The Demon Prince, The Guardian, and The Gunman(Contraptionist).

@almostinsane: You may make a profile if you wish, but for right now I'm waiting to see how many people are going to make a profile for him, since there is a couple already...I will choose which one best fits him in my mind. Though don't get discouraged! If I like your character, I'll PM you. :)

Re: [OOC] Flower in the Ashes

Do you mind if I make a profile for the demon prince?
