A Time for Heroes (OOC)

A world in dire peril
Under siege
By the forces of darkness
Will you rise above the darkness
As a beacon of light
As a hero

For countless centuries the world of Rhy’Din has been under the oppressive shadow of the necromancer Amarant Faust and his undead hordes. The goodly races of the world are all but hopeless with the soulless hordes closing in around them. King Usso has sent out a summons for heroes that would take on a quest to stop the evil that has corrupted the land and starved its people of happiness.

OOC

Those that have posted about being interested and those that find this to be in there interest and would like to join. Either post a character sheet here or send me a PM with your character sheet and once we have at least 4 people with approved characters we will start. I will be acting as the GM for this roleplay and will control King Usso, Amarant Faust (Actually one of my personally created characters) and any NPC throughout the roleplay. Also I want to give everyone that signs up for this roleplay to help in creating the world of Rhy'Din, espically with the places, people and history.If anyone needs to have me make a character sheet skeleton for them, just send me a PM and I'll write one up for you.

Tyro · **Tips:** 0.00 INK by **Tyro** on Fri Nov 20, 2009 10:57 am

Tyro

Age: 19

Race: Kitsune

Abilities: Energy absorption, Fire production, limited form-shifting, possession

Bio:

Firstly, Tyro isn't his real name. Not that he's going to tell anyone...

A weird traveller that simply turns up. This'll be the first time he's been invited...He wonders from place to place attempting to help out however he can. Seeing as he tends to travel reasonably quietly, leaving little trace of his visit but occasionally something too big to hide from crops up.

After managing to defeat the Dull Man, a creature that could paralyse with its elongated hands that had been spotted far away from Rhy'Din, Tyro answered the King's call. He's a little flattered to be honest...

Abilities: Tyro's abilities are an interpreted version from my research. So, as a Kitsune, he can breathe fire, produce fireballs, possess people, create small illusions, drain energy from his surroundings and change his form - not much further than differing amounts of fox and human though).

Equipment: His weapon of choice is The Kitsune Tail. Its a blunted axe in the shape of a fox that is designed to be heated-up. The red-hot edge is a powerful image. Its heated by the pendant around his neck that contains the soul capable of incredible amounts of fire at stupid temperatures. Its more of a last resort weapon. He also has a sitar that he can summon then play to travel around on the wind.

Name: (Real Name is Unknown) Goes by Toshi or Toshiro.
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Age: 34
Class: Samurai
Weapons: Katana Blade, wakizashi blade, shriuken, throwing knives. He has no armor. He carries survival thingswith him wherever he goes. Copsticks, flint, tea, and stuff like that. His two swords are made of an enchanted steel. It cannot be destroyed. The sword has been known to destroy some weapons as durable as a battle-axe without suffering a scratch.
Special Abilities: Nothing special. However when he gets in touch with his inner mind, time seems to slow around him, and he becomes much faster than anything around him. He can dodge things better, and kill faster. His inner mind is so strong, he has become resistant to possession, can sense dark energy from those who do evil, and can use what can be called a sixth sense. If you think he doesn't know you're there....he knows you're there. Toshiro is very deadly in combat. He knows how to use both of his blades very well, and is quick to the kill. He is also very accurate with his knives and shriuken. But he is also formidable with his own style of martial arts.
Appearance: His head is shaved. He stands at about 6'4''. He wears completely dark blue cothing, which resembles the atire of most ronin, only his pants resemble that of a martial artist. He wears his swords on a belt like most ronin. He has a scarf around his neck, which he has had most of his life. He also has a headband around his head which he also has had most of his life. He has a scar under his right eye.
Personality: Very mysterious. He spends a lot of time as a wanderer and is therefore a man of mystery. When facing trouble, he usually looks to solve the issue peacefully before drawing his sword. He spends a lot of time in meditation. He does not always form alliances, but will do it when he sees no other choice.
Bio: He doesn't know much about his true past. He was found as a baby near the base of a sacred mountain on an island by a monk. He took him to a secret location where a clan of martial artists lived. There, he took the name Toshiro, and there he lived. He learned their own style of fighting, became very formidable in combat, and quickly became a respected member of the clan. He was happy with them. But when he was 18, some inhuman being, with a longing for power beyond his own attacked. The clan fought bravely, but in the end, the monster slaughtered them all. Toshiro was the only survivor, having been pushed into a river by one of the clan members in an effort to save him.

Toshiro got out of the river two miles down, and returned to find the clan slaughtered. He burned down his home and became a wanderer. The only survivor of his clan, he is the only one who knows their fighting style. He became a legend as a wanderer to people who have been saved from bandits by a warrior in blue. He continues life as a wandering ronin today.

We have two so far and I am hoping for at least a total of four before I set up the IC thread.

Zman · **Tips:** 0.00 INK by **Zman** on Fri Nov 20, 2009 2:48 pm

A bit of information about the two most prominent NPCs so far.

King Usso
King of the Alandra Kingdom, the largest human kingdom of Rhy’Din. He is known as the Lion of Battle and wears a white lion belt at all times (save when naked) and is always in the company of two white lions. His personal body guards are thusly named White Lions as well. He wields the sword Ratheol, an ancient elven artifact. A man of grand stature, towering over most people at a six and half foot height with broad shoulders and lively sapphire eyes, though is once midnight black hair is seasoned with gray/white streaks these days. King Usso was once married to the High Elven Princess Talalanna Nelenddal, and were on the verge of merging the budding kingdoms of man with the long-lived and every present kingdoms of the elf. It was not to happen, for the medaling of an The Seer caused Talalanna to die at the hands of Amarant Faust, during the days in which he was but a simple wizard. After the death of his most beloved, Usso turned his love to his land and people and set forth on a journey to unite every kingdom of man under one banner and to rid the world of the darkness that had cast itself over Rhy’Din.

Amarant Faust
Amarant Faust, The Devourer formally known as Talaladason Nelenddal, Prince of the High Elves and twin-brother to Talalanna Nelenddal. Corrupted by his want for power and in his mind, the betrayal of his twin-sister by marrying a human man, he turned to the dark gods and their dark powers. After being manipulated by The Seer, and after realizing he’d been manipulated, Amarant unleashed the powers granted to him by the Old Gods (Dark Gods). By doing this, he killed his sister and The Seer, and unleashed the horde of undead which is now strangling the world of Rhy’Din of the living. Fleeing from the world of man and elves, hiding himself in his Iron Tower in the farthest reaches of the Saethos Desert. There he currently rules over most of Rhy’Din through his undead horde and his various other evil allies, though the most prominent of these allies is Rezo Cromvathar, a Dark Elf assassin, who though cast out from his own people still uses his surname. Amarant carries two daggers, both of which are artifacts to the Dark Gods along with the Tome of the Stilled Tongue which is a particularly powerful artifact from his Dark Gods. These artifacts, plus Amarant’s powerful arcane and divine spells make him the most feared evil in the lands of Rhy’Din.

Could I please reserve a female hero?

TatersAndTots · **Tips:** 0.00 INK by **TatersAndTots** on Fri Nov 20, 2009 8:09 pm

Name: Analan Liseeker
Race: Human
Age: 24
Class: Cleric (healing, buffs, anti-undead)

Description: An average man with a height of 5'10". He has short cropped brown hair, with hazel eyes. He is olive in skin tone, from a sunny seaside village to the south. His features are hard, with a prominent nose and an angled chin. His teeth are all in line and white, which is to be expected from a man with healing abilites. His hands are caulosed, very unlike a spellcaster. He wears a ratty white cloak over grey woolens or linens, with white leather boots, steel capped. He can wear long white leather gloves as well, which are muddy and ratty like his boots and his cloak.
[spoiler]

[/spoiler]
Personality: The iconic healer with a twist. He does all he can to protect his charges, even at the espense of his own health. He is still an asshole nonetheless. He adores to mess with people through jokes and lies. He is vicious with practical jokes too. Analan will go out of his way to use a cliche one-liner or stupid 'thats what she said' joke, beyond where it is appropriate or funny. His mouth tends to get him in trouble, but his good looks, dazziling smile, and devotion to the clerical arts keeps him safe. He is a powerful ally and support caster, as long as you can survive his awful puns ("Knock knock! Orange... orange ya glad I healed that gaping leg wound?! You better be...")

Equipment (Armor/Weapons/Tools/etc): A long wooden staff, capped with steel on the ends, and with many steel bands along its length. It is well worn, to reflect many hours of use. He wears a sunburst pendant, to represent his god Vi. He has a toolbelt of sorts, full of alchemical regeants for potions and spells. He also has a decent knife, for eating and fighting without his staff.
Powers/Abilities/Spells (Both Innate and Non-Innate): He is a natural holy magic user. He can heal with the best of High Priests and turn undead like an elite paladin. His other spells can oust enemies in hiding, or make a soldier twice his natural strength. He has limited offensive spells, but he is skilled with them and is extremely skilled with a staff. His Smite Undead attack is a thing worth watching. For when his magic fails, he is gifted in alchemical arts, creating salves and potions for things that his spells cannot handle.

Brief History: Analan grew up in a small village on the South Sea, called Grimbsy. It was full of happy little farmers doing happy little farmer things while never aspiring more than to get in next year's harvest. Analan was going to be another farmer until he had a vision.

In it a beautiful woman came to him in a field. He felt like it was the most perfect place ever. He was totally content in this endless place covered in flowers. The woman, who was glowing a brillant gold, told him her name was Vi. She was a goddess, who wanted to talk to Analan. She sat down with the child and talked to him for hours. It started about his life, his family, and other mundane things, but then he asked what she was. She said she was a protector of the weak. A creator of justice for those who cannot make it themselves. Vi said her followers though that she represented a beacon of light in the hell that was the modern world. She seemed rather embarassed about all the praise though. She continued to talk about a 'divine mission' for Analan. She would not tell him what, but only that it was important.

The next day the local pastor noticed somehting odd about Analan. He seem closer to the holy arts, literally overnight. He was sent off to the main church in the nearby city of Juilon. Skip forwards many years, and Analan was a rising star to the priests and other clerics. He was picked by the High Priest himself for this mission.

Also for Sexybabe, there are only three accepted characters so there are still spots open.

SamuraiMaster · **Tips:** 0.00 INK by **SamuraiMaster** on Sat Nov 21, 2009 12:46 pm

Maybe you should make a character Zman. That way we could at least put up an IC, and possibly gain more interest through that.

Souseiki · **Tips:** 0.00 INK by **Souseiki** on Sat Nov 21, 2009 11:05 pm

Name: Faeyr Renmiri

Race: Elf

Age: 17

Class: Marksman

Description:

Faeyr is about 5'9, a little shorter than a normal elf, and has black hair with dark-green eyes. An obvious scar runs along his cheek, from just below his right eye down to his jaw-line, and another down his neck. He is always seen wearing a green elven vest over a blank white shirt, along with pants fit for traveling. Light, worn down shoes can be seen as well, and a gray hooded cloak rests upon his shoulders. Under this cloak is a light recurve bow, loosely strapped to a sash on his back, complete with a set of arrows.

Equipment (Armor/Weapons/Tools/etc):
His recurve bow is made of Yew, delicately made and imbued with magic to make it extremely light and durable. The bow itself can be drawn quickly in the hands of a normal archer, but in his terms, he can roughly nock and release in the time space of a .8s of a second. A curving design was also carved onto this bow, shaping into a word or name of it, 'Rhythmos'. However, on this design is another layer of stronger magic, cast so whatever was launched from this bow would without a doubt hit its' mark. The arrows Faeyr uses are steel-headed but normal, anyone could buy them from any place. He doesn't have any weapon besides this bow, as he can hear others' movements reasonably well. He dislikes carrying more than enough as it would slow him down, so he doesn't have anything else.

Powers/Abilities/Spells (Both Innate and Non-Innate):
Faeyr, being an elf himself, can conduct electricity through his bow and into projectiles as they are launched. He can vary the amounts of the electrical charge he inputs into these projectiles, ranging from a stun to electrocution. In order to protect himself if an enemy could come too close, Faeyr always keeps a constant discharge of static into the air on which he can detect movement. Static itself is not especially very hard to summon and maintain, so using the least amount possible also helps to keep his energy level somewhat high. His reaction time is a little higher than usual, but can also be viewed as average.

Brief History:
Faeyr had always been talented in archery, graduating from his elven tribe for archers earlier than anyone else had. His entire family was made of hunters and the like, always something to do with weapons of some sort. Thus, the people always expected him to excel above the rest, and in turn he always exceeded their expectations. When he turned about twelve, his parents gave him an enchanted bow named then as 'Rhythmos' for a present on his birthday. Almost immediately he retreated to a section in the forest around to try to see if it could hold his destructive magic, on which it could, and was so focused on doing this that he didn't return until the day after.

As he returned he found that his entire tribe had disappeared, gone without a trace. Suddenly stricken by panic he grabbed a set of arrows and clothes from his house and ran, far away from his home. For the years after he left he took on jobs to exterminate monsters from towns and such, perfecting his skills with experience and at the same time looking for the people he once knew. Now, he still does what he did back then, completing missions and such but never finding any information on his old friends.
