The Last City OOC

Corpus · **Tips:** 0.00 INK by **Corpus** on Mon Aug 25, 2008 4:53 am

Some time during the 10th century, a huge and perfectly round piece of land (the size of China) rose up 100 meters from the Earth. Some people decided to settle the new continent and soon a new civilization sprung forth on top of the continent. But alas, for such a huge piece of land to rise so high, land must also sink, therefore the rest of the world began to have an Atlantic experience in which they all started to sink causing the extinction of all the other races. The remaining continent also began to sink, with pieces (the size of Texas) of its sides crumbling and splashing into the ocean. Luckily, the continent stopped when it was exactly around sea level creating a huge island. But, alas the continent's foundation collasped and more land sank down into the ocean leaving room for only one city.

During the 11th century, the city was flourishing and a few knights decided to explore the forest that had developed over the past 100 years. As they delved deep into the forest hunting the occasional animal, they soon met elves, dwarfs, and creatures of all sorts. The different races soon formed an alliance and the city expanded into the forest, accepting the new races as its own citizens.

The year the roleplay is set is the 12th century (no invention of cannons or guns yet.) There is a currupt government set in place called the Remainers. They are protected by the local military force called the Guardians. Due to the high level of curruption in the Remainer ranks, a rebel force rose named the Reclaimers. Remember that the area is just the size of Atlanta except in the Middle Ages.

You could be a Remainer (King, Prince, Noble, etc.), a Guardian (leader, trooper, etc.), a Reclaimer (leader, rebel, etc.), or just some person caught up in all this.

Rules:
1. No auto-hitting and no godmodding.
2. You're allowed to kill other players, but you need their permission first.
3. Romance and violence are allowed, but keep it toned down. Inappropriate stuff goes to PMs.
4. Swearing is allowed, but again, keep it toned down.
5. You're allowed up to two characters.
6. At least 4 lines please.
7. If you're gonna be gone post it in the OOC forum. If you're gone for a week or more without saying anything, you'll be kicked out. If you get back to find that this has happened, and you had a reasonable reason for leaving and not saying anything, message me and we'll talk about getting you back in.

Character Profile
Name: Joe Smit, Bob Walker, Luis Styler, too many to list currently goes by the name of Reclaimist
Age: 29
Race: Human
Gender: male
Position: Reclaimer Leader
Weapons: 4 throwing daggers and one short sword
Powers: deception (slipping into shadows, disguises, concealment)
Description: The Reclaimist comes from a line of asians that managed to arrive at the great city and survived the disasters Mother Earth (now called Father Sea) threw at them. Therefore, he has black hair and eyes. Although he is tall, he usually seems taller as he is a bit on the lean end. He could usually be seen wearing full black giving him a dangerous and intimidating appearance. Last sighted on a failed assasination of the current Remainer King.
Biography: The Reclaimer was an idealist in his youth and a great thinker. In his childhood, he was taught the arts of concealment from his father whom was from a long line of ancient ninjas back when the world had more land than now. Full of ideas and a burning will to learn, the Reclaimer soon excelled in school and noticing this, the Professor decided to let the Reclaimer on a secret that only a few knew.

That day the Professor told of the Remainers curruption and mistreatment of the people. Only a few people had figured this out as the Remainers had managed to hide all evidence and turn the word curuption into a synonym with love. After learning this knowledge, The Reclaimer found that everything since he was born fitted with the Professor's theory and vowed to save the 'land'.

A few years later the Reclaimsts was formed.
Personality: The Reclaimist is extremely friendly despite his occupation and name. He enjoys interacting with others but doesn't mind killing people in cold blood. If the need demanded it, The Reclaimist wouldn't hesitate a second before setting out to kill his closest friend.
Extra: The Reclaimer hideout is in a weapons store owned by one of the Reclaimers.

Ok, character accepted

FollowYourMoonlight · **Tips:** 0.00 INK by **FollowYourMoonlight** on Mon Aug 25, 2008 10:03 am

Name: Robin Lafette (Jessamine)
Age: 19
Race: Shapeshifter
Gender: Female
Position: Civilian, she thinks the whole Remainer/Reclaimer thing is useless though if she were to choose it would probably be the Reclaimer side.
Weapons: Numerous daggers hidden on her person, she can also use any sort of long stick as a staff for staff fighting.
Powers: Robin is a shapeshifter, as her race suggests. She is quite powerful for someone of her race at her age, she has six forms already. She can change into a human (her most common), a cat, a sparrow, a boa constrictor, a horse, and a seal. She is currently working on perfecting her polar bear form and starting to develop a jaguar form. She can also twist other people’s senses if they do not know she is doing it. Making them see or not see something, as well as hear, taste, feel, and smell.
Description: In her human form Robin is tall and thin, 5’8” 120 lbs. She has long, wavy, white-blond hair and deep blue eyes. When in her original form she looks like a misty multi-colored cloud. She is rarely in that form though, preferring her human form.
Biography: Robin left her family at a young age, feeling that the simple life of the hidden shapeshifting community was to dull for her. She found the city and settled in there. Having nothing to do, she became a pick-pocket and was soon recruited by the thief lord of the city to work with his band of thieves. As she grew older and grew better at her thievery she rose in the ranks of the thieves of the city. By the time she was eighteen she had challenged and defeated the current thief lord taking the position of high power and fear from him. All the thieves know and respect her, and most people and nobles in the city know and fear her too. They do not know her by her real name though; everyone refers to her as The Thief Lord or Jessamine, her trademark scent and poison.
Personality: Robin is very sarcastic and witty. She uses sarcasm so often it is often hard to tell if she is serious of not, which can be quite hard for her thieves. She has a way of striking fear into the hearts of others yet she is also very seductive, leaving many men confused as to where their feelings lie for her. Being the Thief Lord and all she comes across as ruthless and mean, but really she is quite kind and in a Robin Hood-esque way helps the poor people of the city. She hates killing even though she does it often. To keep the fear for her high she makes it seem as though she enjoys killing people, which pains her even more.
Extra: Robin doesn’t really have any friends or alliances. She has many contracts with people but she is always the one who benefits. There is no one she thinks of as her equal but she often wishes she would find someone who put up a reasonable challenge to her power.

Aerilyn · **Tips:** 0.00 INK by **Aerilyn** on Mon Aug 25, 2008 10:27 am

Name: Aerilyn Black
Age: 19
Race: Human
Gender: Female
Position: She is working undercover for the Reclaimer side, although to most people it would appear as though she was a Remainer
Weapons: she can use basically anything, but she specializes in the bow and arrow
Powers: She can turn herself invisible and create illusions to trick other people. No one else knows that she has powers. She has always kept it a secret.
Description: Aerilyn's family is of European decsent. Her skin is pale and fair, during the summer her face id dotted with freckles. Her hair is long, about to the center of her back. It's a sandy color and it's straight. Her eyes are almond shaped and emerald green.
Biography: Aerilyn grew up in a large estate with servants and maids to assist her in any way she needed. She never went to the schools with the other children, instead her parents hired private tutors to work with her. She is an only child. Her mother had another little girl after Aeriyln, but the baby died when it was three months old.

Aerilyn's family all support the Remainers. Her father is a major Remainer and has devoted his life to hunting down all rebels and punishing them severly. Aerilyn's mother is also loyal to the Remainers, though she is more conservative about her beliefs. Ever since Aerilyn was a young girl, she had been unsure about the ways of the Remainers. Because her father is in the inner cirle of Remainers, she got to see up close how corrupt they were. As she grew older, her doubts grew and she felt that she had to do something about them. She knew she had to be secretive about her actions, though. Her father would stop at nothing to squash out the rebels, and wouldn't think twice about killing his own daughter.

For years Aerilyn worked independently. She didn't think of joining the Reclaimers for some time. When she was thirteen, she began to sabatoge the Remainers from the inside, using her family connections and secret powers to her advantage. She worked tirelessly to bring down the Remainers, but she discovered that she couldn't do any major damage unless she joined up with the Reclaimers even though it would put her at even more risk than she already was. When she was seventeen she joined the Reclaimers, but has kept her true aliegance hidden from the rest of the world.
Personality: Because of her upbringing, Aerilyn seems stiff and formal to anyone who doesn't know her that well. Sometimes she can come acros as haughty and a bit prideful. Because of operating in secret for a large portion of her life, she finds it hard to trust people. It took her a while to be comfortable around the other Reclaimers, but even still she is a little careful around them. Once you get to know her, however, you wil find that she isn't as frosty as she seems, in fact, she can be quite warm when she wants to be.
Extra: Aerilyn still lives at home with her parents, but sneaks out whenever she can to meet up with the other Reclaimers.
