Introduction

Image


The year is 301 Z.E. A spiritual race called Metyxi planet was invaded and conquered by a bloodthirsty organization of powerful warlords. Most of the Metyxi were murdered, or enslaved, corrupted to join the Warlords powerful army, though very few of the Metyxi escaped the clutches of this evil with their spiritual magics and advanced technology to a nearby world called Nyrune. Nyrune is a well populated and diverse world with many different races, though mainly inhabited by Humans, which is known as 'the Ancient race', since there race can be traced back thousands of years ago. The Nyrune world is ruled by a Monarchy. King Weldon and Queen Prudence, allowed the Royal Family of the Metyxi be a guest to Salphira, the Kingdom. The King and Queen of Metyxi feared the Warlords would pose a threat to Nyrune and invade their world like they did to world of the Metyxi. Though the King and Queen of Metyxi had propheted salvation for this world, and owned the weapon to their success. Their one and only son, the prince of the Metyxi. Not much is known about the Prince, all that is is the fact he can communicate with higher beings. Though before a war plan was set and stone, attacks were happening all over Nytune. It was an Invasion of the Warlords.

The King set the army to protect major cities, though some small villages were destroyed. The location of the Warlords is unknown on the vast planet, though there minion hordes are scattered all over the Globe. It wasn't long before Salphira itself was invaded. The army of Salphira was able to kill the horde of minions, though the Castle was burned down. And along with it was the King of Nyrune, and the King of the Metyxi. The Queen of Nyrune had the the war plan that was left from the King of Nyrune it read:

"As foretold, the enemy grows near to our beloved world. With the help of our new found friends, we have a support for what is to come. It is destined, that the son of the Metyxi is to set on a pilgrimage to the 7 temples on our world and ask for the God's Mercy, and protection. It is unknown to me how this plan will help us in the end, but as a result of the conquered worlds, its all we have. Any worthy warrior that aids these Guardians on their quest will be rewarded to the highest extent. As for the Army, each group of soldiers will be ordered to watch over a specific Major City that involves trading, or mining. Lets hope that we will be like the blade that slices through the warlords flesh, and break all the bounds they have put on our faithful friends..."

And quickly, the Son of the Metyxi, begun the Quest to the First Temple, 'That of the Earth', quickly finding beings worthy to protect him. Along the way they will make allies, enemies, and lose friends. As long as the prince is not killed there will be hope. The Younger brother of the King took the throne, as he is an equally good leader, it still feels as though something is missing.


Classes


Classes will be broken down into 3 types, Mages, Attackers, and Rangers. Each of them have their own primary offenses and defensed. There are also Sub-classes that follow under these 3 classes depending on the choices and decisions of the individual.

Mages
Those taught in the art of magic. Sacrificing physical strength, they use their minds and spiritual energy to manifest for their or an allies benefit. Mages start out with 1 primary spell, and 1 special spell. The primary spell can be cast over and over, with no fatigue, this is the Mages only spell that doesn't require much to cast, the primary spell is always in the form of an orb, wave, or blast depending on the need in which it is used. The special spell can only be caste when 'necessary', this spell requires a lot of concentration and usually takes a lot of energy, though benefits beyond belief. The Mages are allowed 3 other spells/special abilities depending on their sub-class.


Attackers
Warriors with brute strength and taught in the art of fighting. Attackers are the all around best protectors, and can handle a blade with ease. Attackers are allowed 1 fighting art, and 1 special attack. The fighting art is how the Attacker fights, if they are using only their hands, a weapon, or dual weapons. The special attack is less strict then the Mages, a special attack requires mental focus and use of spiritual energy. An Attackers special attack will somehow link the attacker into their sub-class but not fully. An Attacker is allowed 3 special skills depending on their sub-class.


Rangers
Those who attack with ranged weapons. They are easily able to become the best defenders, as they are swift on their feet, the art of hunting, and some knowledge over how the body works for piercing benefits. Rangers start with 1 ranged art, and 1 special attack. The ranged art usually comes in that of a bow, crossbow, dart, or throwing star depending on the individuals preference. The Special attack can be used over and over again depending on how close the target is, the farther the target the more the use. The Ranger is allowed 3 special special skills depending on their sub-class.



Races


There are many more races, though here are some just to give you a few if you don't really have your mind set on a specific one. Think about how your race will benefit your class.

Human
The ancient race. They are average in everything, which makes them able to do any class at ease. A Human human can only breed with Elvens at this time.

Metyxi
A spiritual race, the royal family has light brown/naturally tan skin, though ranges for everyone else. Each individual is marked at the age of 5, where there is a spiritual outlet somewhere on their body. This outlet looks like a tattoo the same color of their odd colored eyes, the outlet keeps them into with the spiritual world, letting them see and hear spirits...though only 1 in the royal family can actually communicate with Spirits. The Metyxi have their own language that they speak in fluently, though they can also speak English.(Everyone who is a Metyxi, I will send you a pm of the Metyxi Alphabet...its easy to learn but hard to decipher.PS if your not Metyxi..you don't speak their language.)

Elven
A pointed eared eloquent race who are naturally beautiful. They are very in tune with their magical ancestor. They can actually communicate with animals...or well, the ones that already don't talk. Elvens are naturally quick on their feet. Elvens can only Breed with Humans, and Aeroians.

Terrians
A Humanoid breed of Earth Creatures. They can either appear more human, or more beastly. They are naturally strong.

Aquaians
A Humanoid breed of Water and Reptile Creatures. They can either appear more human, or more beastly. They can naturally climb walls and breath under water.

Aeroians
A Humanoid Breed of Flying Creatures. They can either appear more human or more Beastly. They can breed with Elvens if they appear more humanly, to form a race of beings who can sprout wings magically.

Rules


1. Be creative, you are who will make this role play fun if you don't follow the normal everyday hero. You are also entitled to your own opinion in the role play, you could think that the pilgrimage is just a waste of time, or have a grudge on a specific race...as long as you don't take your hate in the OOC, lol. Sub-Classes can be as creative as you want, as long as you don't make your character 'better' then everyone else, or steals someones spotlight if they get it in the role play.

2. No god-moding and auto-hitting in the Rp. This role play is taking place through a time of War, so its bound that we will get into fights along the way. I think its only fair if in BIG battles that if we play each others opponents, so its not like you will win every time.

3. You are allowed to cuss, be romantic, and be gory. As long as you don't go overboard with any of the things I listed.

4. Keep in mind this is a Futuristic & High Fantasy Role play. When you think of the Setting think Star Ocean. There are Advanced Technology in this time period, meaning Skyships, Fancy Guns, Robotic Enemies...but then there is Magic, Spell casting, Sword Fights, Mythological Beasts...Have fun with it. As for Clothing, it can vary depending on the individual person, though I suggest something comfortable to your character when battling.

5. Post at least 75 words per post, though usually there will be more, 75 words is the minimum.

6. I will not be accepting poorly made characters that seem to have no flaws. What I mean by poorly made is no thought into it, going back to Rule 1 creativity. I like seeing new things, if your character doesn't make me go 'hm, interesting', then I'll ask you to spice things up. ^^

The wind blew cool calming air in the Night. Stars twinkled around the full moon like friendly whisperers in a huge crowd. Sanctuary walked patiently through the tall grass as the wind made the grass sway like his white hair, his mind wandered between the sudden death of his father, and the pilgrimage he had to come. Though in such a dark time, Sanctuary wished that he could just curl up in cry next to one of these lonely boulders, but for the sake of his current planet, and planets to come, he had to be strong. Sanctuary watched as a spirit orb rose from the ground and into the sky slowly. It was beautiful, as though it whispered 'hope' to him, giving him courage.

Sanctuary was happy that he wasn't alone though. He already found a couple of guardians to aid him on his quest, with this, he didn't feel as scared as he should. Though he was still worried about Descending, he didn't know if the Gods whose temples where located on this world were like that of his world. Gods on his world were easily influenced, and kind, but he knew that was usually never the case. Sanctuary stopped, and turned around looking towards his guardians with a distant smile,"Its going to rain soon," Sanctuary said in his soft friendly tone of voice,"Its best that we find someplace to stay for the night, there isn't a way that we could make it to Terrayln tonight." Sanctuary looked through the mountains in the distance where he saw Sky Ships rising threw. That's where they were headed."Maybe we could find an abandoned cottage, or perhaps a traveling camp site?" Sanctuary through out possible outcomes trying to sound optimistic, even though he didn't see anything for a while.

This night was very calm, perfectly relaxing. Right now, walking outside was the perfect place to be. Astrid was following the Metyxi prince at least five feet behind, his head tilted back to watch the stars as he walked. The outside world was truly amazing. Astrid could barely believe he was right now in the middle of this opportunity to live up to something. Could one even imagine? In a world like this... how insignificant must every creature be? But, to live to be a legend, well, it would be a miracle, really. Astrid could scarce imagine a more appealing sort of miracle.

Astrid was eased from his thoughts when the prince spoke to him and the other gaurdian. Astrid never really had much patience for anyone who broke a long silence without warning. It would tend to tear him from his thoughts so quickly as to startle him - usually causing him to stumble into something unpleasant. But when the Metyxi prince (Sanctuary, as he was called) spoke up, it was surprising to Astrid, but didn't cause him irritation or loss of footing. It was strange, and just being that it was out of the norm was unexpected, and therefore surprising. His voice was soft, soothing, non-invasive and it seemed to blend into everything perfectly in a way that harmonized with and complemented his surroundings. Interesting.

'Pleasant surprise,' Astrid mused to himself silently.

Astrid glanced to the side where Derik was walking, as if to take note of his reaction to the prince's pleasant voice. "Someplace abandoned sounds best," He replied offhandedly, carefully itching his cheek with the sharp talon of his index finger. "Shouldn't be too hard to discover something like."

There was a gentle presence in the night. Nothing was going wrong with it. Nothing could go wrong with it. Nothing will ever go wrong with it. These thoughts were always popping in Derik's mind. He emanated a happy presence, or at least tried to. The two beside him seemed like they were out of it, like they wanted to get out of this right now, but it didn't really matter to Derik. All he was really here to do was to watch the horizon and surroundings for anything that might be evil, but it really seemed like there wasn't any threat here, which put a bigger bounce in his step. The only thing bringing him even slightly down was that there was almost no noise. Sure, the soft hum of the insects surrounding the group was fine, but he was really longing for a good conversation.

Of course, when the Prince spoke up, he immediately felt enthusiastic by his forecast: rain. Sure, maybe they would want to find an abandoned house or barn, but Derik was perfectly fine with laying out in the rain. Actually, he loved it! The quick drops of water made the world seem peaceful, like it was nature's way of hugging them. Perhaps the others wouldn't understand that, but he knew to always stand by this belief.

But simply to contribute to the conversation, he added, "A while back there was a nice camp ground, so maybe another one will pop up soon. I'm getting pretty tired, too." He threw in a yawn for effect. "I hope we find somewhere soon, but I have no problem with sleeping against a log if it gets too late without any luck."

Neither the rumbling clouds above them, the Sky Ships from the mountains, nor the unenthusiastic thoughts he knew Astrid and the Prince were having about spending the night in the rain made Derik feel any less ready to finally lay down and nap the night away.

Re: [OOC] Sanctuary

can someone post, because I posted over three days ago and no one else has posted.

Re: [OOC] Sanctuary

Okay I have the first post up! Post when you are ready. :D

Re: [OOC] Sanctuary

Oh, cool! 2 guardian's, that should be enough! I will start this role play tomorrow! :D

Re: [OOC] Sanctuary

Hey! This looks like a REALLY cool RP!!!! I sent you my character request, and I thought I put A LOT of effort into it. I was going to create my own RP, but I'm not a leader, only a follower, for the most part. There were too many ideas jumbling my head that all of them seemed ungood... Anyway, can you accept my character request PLEASE, not to sound impatient or anything, since I just sent it in, but I like doing things fast! Thank you!!!!

Re: [OOC] Sanctuary

It pretty much just depends on the 3 abilities of your choice. There is a large range of things you can be. :D

Re: [OOC] Sanctuary

Hm... how do I decide what my sub-class is?

Re: [OOC] Sanctuary

Oh awesome, great! I will most definitely do that. :D

Re: [OOC] Sanctuary

This really sounds like great rp. I can tell that you put a lot of thought into it and you can most definitely count me in! I want to really think of a good character, so i'll take some time, but I'll send my character request asap. I really hope this gets off the ground (and quickly) because right now it's about the most detailed an interesting idea out there on this site (in terms of the newer ones, that is.)

Save me a spot, I look forward to it.
