The City in the Clouds (OOC/Signups)

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby Koritai on Mon Jun 14, 2010 4:57 pm



Plot:


On the planet of Corin, a place much different from here, there was once a mighty empire. An empire so great, it ruled over Corin from the sky, with a unique mix of science and magic. (Not alchemy though, although there is alchemy here.) Their cities floated in the sky and their people sprouted wings from their backs. They were the Draconians, and their empire was one of unequivocal glory. It was this glory that bred the pride and vanity that ended them. The Draconians descended to the ground below, and became cursed, while their cities continued to float in the sky, forever a reminder of that great power they once had. At the time of the fall, the capital city burned bright and from the center of the city, a light beyond comparison shot forth into the heavens.

The city burned until it was an empty floating husk, after that the other cities abandoned their inhabitants. Without the royal family, the spells that once protected them, forced them out. The light that had been seen was the departure of the royal family. The royal family had left Corin entirely and went to its sister planet, Earth. Although far away, Earth was very similar to Corin, but it had no magic. Thus, the royal family lost their wings and blended in with Earth's inhabitants.

Back on Corin, the remaining Draconians were hunted and in the end all died off, but they did have half Draconian children. Their children were spared by a gift that had not been given to their parents, the ability to hide their wings. A hundred years past and the empire itself was forgotten, but the cities cast shadows over the land as permanent relics of the past and its treasure and power. Many have tried to gain entry into the cities, and many countries have advanced in technology in such away that they create things like the cities, but they are still completely different. They can create an airship, even one so massive it's called a floating fortress but they are nothing like the cities. They are not as powerful, they don't even float the same way.

War is not an uncommon thing now and days, but it still comes as a surprise. When the industrial empire of Kimera hears of the fantastic Guardian (Mecha) that could be powerful enough to breach the floating cities, they invade and destroy the country of Fenaldin, in search of it. This Guardian, however, could only be used by the half Draconian king, who had just finished his coronation by making a blood pact with the machine. Because of this turn of fate, the king was able to keep the Guardian out of the hands of the Kimerans, and escaped into the Fenaldin forest. Unfortunately, he was forced to leave his kingdom behind, and was forced to let it burn.

At the same fateful time, a light that hadn't been seen in a hundred years streaked through the sky down to the Fenaldin forest, and the last heir to the Draconian throne and the key to the cities above entered into Corin. Now that the gears of fate are turning, who could possibly know what will happen?

Character Name: Lieta Bodivar
Age: 17
Sex: Female
Rank/Occupation: Whatever works for you works for me, well sort of.
Race: Human
Appearance: Lieta
Hair color: Blond
Eye color: Blue
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 120lb
General Description: Lieta is a tall and thin girl, she has pale skin that matches her blond hair. Her hair is short, hitting her jawline.
Bio: Lieta was born in a small town in Utah, USA. She lead a simple life, with a family of just her mother and brother. Her father died when she was little in a car accident. Her brother has always been her best friend. She's an athletic girl who was on the track team, doing mostly high jumps and long jumps. Although her little school had her do most everything, she competed in high and long jumps. She often wears the necklace her grandmother gave her, it's been pasted down through the family for generation.

Lieta thought nothing of it until she was walking home one evening and the crystal on the necklace began to glow a strange blue light. Then, suddenly, a pillar of light formed around her. The next thing she knew, she was floating down from the sky until she reached the forest floor of a forest she'd never been in. The moment she was safely on the ground, the crystal pendant returned to normal and it was as if nothing strange had happened.

Character Name: Drefan Mill'nak
Sex: Male (if you can consider him that)
Age: 273 (He's a Libra)
Country: Kimera
Rank/Occupation: No Rank (but well known for his powers)/No Occupation
Race: Sorcerer (Lich)
Appearance: Drefan
Hair color:Unknown (might be revealed if hood is removed
Eye color: White
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 120 lbs
General Description: Though dealing with death and chaos, this warlock is surprisingly friendly and lighthearted. He makes no attempt at hiding his evil, even flaunting it with a joyful laugh at times. Oddly though, he hates other evil people and likes generally morally neutral people. His favorite snack is baby back ribs (yes, from the back-ribs of babies). He Does like to dance.
Ability: Elemental Control of Fire and Ice. As well as the ability to create undead minions. Among other small abilities all sorcerers know (flights, telekinesis, etc)
Weapons: His hands. (Absorbing the souls of warriors has given him a small amount of fighting ability)
Guardians: None (though sometimes he uses peasants as a good shield)
Other: Though he is powerful, once his powers are expended (most likely after a huge battle or a major task)
Bio: Drefan was always an interesting kid, torturing ants and burning bugs (with his mind). He mastered elemental magic at an early age, but his teachers thought it was odd he only had limited specialty. He could do the basics, such as making force arrows and the basic magic attacks. But something was missing in his gift. Then Drefan discovered the wonders of dark magic. After a trip to the infernal plane, he turned the head of a demon lord into a block of ice and became the ruler of the third level of the infernal plane. After mastering the dark arts, Drefan began to journey across the world, happily killing innocents. He allied himself with the good and the bad on occasion, but never stayed too long. Now he simply searches for more entertainment.

Okay changed a bit. The Libra thing was simply not needed information that was humorous. But He is a lich. Therefore Undead. He CAN be destroyed. But he is pretty much dead....

Character Name: Jacoby Reaver (Goes by "Rev" for short).
Age: 19
Sex: Male
Country: Kimera
Rank/Occupation: Drifter
Race: Half-Draconian
Appearance:
Jacoby
Hair color: Black
Eye color: Ice Blue
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 175 pounds
General Description: Rev has a defined athletic build. He generally wears a long goth style black coat with black dress pants and black shows. He wears a white dress shirt underneath the coat. His wings are ice blue, disproving the general assumption that all draconian wings have the same color. Due to this combined with the reputation half-draconians have, he likes to say he's the Angel of Balance.
Ability: Due to his heritage, Rev has the ability to fly. He is able to move across vast distances much faster than normal humans and can out maneuver guardians with ease. He is second to none in speed, sometimes even toying with his opponent. His wings can also act as makeshift shields, though they can only take a few hits from a sword. If sliced through they will heal in a few days, but he won't be able to fly or use his guardian during that time.
Weapons: Carries a katana style sword, wielding it with one hand. He also carries a bow but rarely uses it.
Guardians: Eternal Song
Other: Rarely uses his Mecha as even he feels its a little flashy. He refers to himself in the form of titles, often changing it when he gets tired of the old one. He has gone by everything from "Rev of Steel," to "Nice Guy Rev." Currently he has taken the moniker, "Rev of Dawn."
Bio: Jacoby was born into a poor family. He never knew his father, which caused problems for both him and his mother. His father was the Draconian Descendant, meaning he made Jacoby feel like he was the most alone person in Kimera. Due to this his wings became unstable, often appearing whenever he had a bad dream or was upset. To hide this from others his mother shut him up inside their small home, not allowing him to meet people or make friends. When he was thirteen he broke his mothers rule and ventured out into the city. His mother furious upon his return attacked Jacoby, the feelings of separation and abandonment finally taking over. Jacoby killed his mother trying to defend himself, disappearing from his house that night.

Jacoby drifted and still continues to do so. How he came into possession of his Guardian is a mystery to this day. The few who have seen it believe its design and technology come from the Floating Cities, though since the few is around three to four, word has not spread, he hasn't been questioned nor has this outlandish claim been proven. Jacoby has found himself in Fenaldin, wandering aimlessly like he has for six years.

Character Name: Colonel Livia Luprentiss

Age: 24

Sex: Female

Country: Born in Fenaldin, schooled in Kimera where she joined the Miltary.

Rank/Occupation: Serves as Commanding Officer or second in command of a Flying Fortress.

Race: Half Draconian

Appearance: Livia

Hair color: Black

Eye color: Gold

Height: 5’8’’

Weight: 125 lbs

General Description: Livia is strong, independent person who answers to no one. She’s a bit of a control freak, and has a hard time taking orders. She is serious when it comes to her job, it is all that she lives for. She is a skilled warrior unmatched in close combat, but she also has a softer side. She can be a very caring person though it is difficult for her to show.

Ability: Skilled in swordplay and close combat. Also has the ability to read strong emotions, and she can manipulate those emotions if the subject is weak minded, and if she is extremely focused. She can also add an explosive force to her attack depending on the amount of energy she has.

Weapons: Sword shown in appearance.

Other: She has a soft spot for furry creatures. No one from her life in Kimera knows that she is a Half Draconian noble.

Bio: Born a member of Fenaldin nobility, she refused to conform to the accepted ladylike ways of her noble birth. Her parents did not know what else to do, so they sent her to an all girl academy in Kimera when she was in her teens. Instead of learning the ways of a proper lady as her parents hoped she would, she secretly joined the Kimeran Military instead.

She had finally found somewhere she could fit in with the Military, and she excelled in her training. She now serves as a Colonel, and second in command of a Flying Fortress. Her parents finally accepted her for what she was before they died, and she visited them whenever she could get the leave. She is currently due for some leave time, and plans to spend it in Fenaldin.

That actually works pretty well, just be aware that right now their parents aren't supposed to be alive anymore. Since in order for your character's brother to become king, their father and mother must die first. Accepted by the way.

Character Name: Virgil Dermic
Age: 21
Sex: Male
Country: Kimera
Rank/Occupation: Alchemist of the Emperor
Race: Alchemist
Appearance: Virgil
Hair color: Light Brown
Eye color: Hazel
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 185 lbs.
General Description: Virgil has a much more athletic and muscular build than a normal scientist does. His attire usually consist of a simple muscle shirt and baggy pants with his black boots and cloth gauntlets. Over that he wears his dark blue combat armor and leather strapping.
Ability: Being exposed to science at a very early age, Virgil's intelligence is far superior to that of normal people. He is able to think and react quickly and precisely due to his unusual build. A perfect combination of brains and brawn.
Weapons: A large claymore that he specially made.
Guardians: Exodus
Other: He's a pyromaniac, loving anything that explodes, burns, or incinerates.
Bio: Virgil had a normal life from birth, the day to day tasks ever so boring. The only thing that made him different from everyone else was his great intelligence. Normally, children wouldn't know how to make complicated machinery that would require months of study. Virgil, however, made these things as though they were nothing but toys. His genius didn't show itself early because of his village being in a very remote location. After a few years, though, word of Virgil had reached the Emperor himself. He knew that Virgil would be a great addition to his group of Alchemists. So, he ordered that Virgil be taken to the capital city and work as an Alchemist. His parents did not interfere. they knew he would have a better life if he left their small village and saw the world. Virgil would then spend the remainder of his life, until now, researching and helping the advance of technology.

Virgil became annoyed with always being within the confines of the city walls. He thought that he could get more in depth information that would lead to better technology if he were to leave the city and explore the world outside. Many called him foolish, saying that all he information he needed was right in the city. He didn't think that at all. What use is information if you can't go out and see it for yourself? So he did many favors and soon he was given a grant to do research in the outside world. He also did lots of task working and begging to get his hands on a new , prototype Guardian. Being the first to use it, he thought it would be better if it was to be tested on the field instead of a laboratory.

He now finds himself in the Fenaldin Forest, always looking for anything that could advance him in his research. Thought he's there for more than just that. For awhile now, he's been experiencing strange symptoms of sudden ferocity and rage. At first, he didn't know what it was, but he soon learned what was happening. His mind was deteriorating back to the basics of evolution. He was slowly becoming an animal, not in appearance, but in mind. While he searches for more information, he continually seeks the answer to revert this effect, before he becomes nothing more than a wild beast.
