Introduction
Our story is a long and brutal one, one that we don't have time for. So I'll give you the short fairy tale version of it.
It starts with the Archmage, back when it was just Ranal. He spent most his years alone, refusing to pass on his knowledge or power to any. He feared what it would've been used for. Unfortunately his life was coming to an end and he knew he had to pass on his responsibilities and knowledge. So his picked thirteen young minds as his disciples. For a long time things were fine, his students respected him and seemed to have the wisdom to use his power. However if that's how things really worked we wouldn't have a story now would we?
No, his students had been preparing an experiment of cosmic proportions behind his back. They didn't have any foul intentions, they were simply curious. So they decided to open a dimensional portal and pull another planet through it, yeah I'm serious. They succeeded, but they lost control of the planet and it smashed into Ranal. It took about 32 hours for this new planet to tear our home in half, both planets suffered massive losses, and if that wasn't enough, well lets just say our new arrival wasn't the most polite guest in the universe.
War broke out between planets. Mass slaughter, and merciless slaughter. Those on the other side, we viewed them as animals, and they viewed us the same way. During the confusion a group known as the Imperians swept through the remnants of Ranal 'restoring order'. During this time they were revered as heroes. As well that they deserved it too as Ranal probably would've destroyed itself in panic if not for them.
The thirteen mages knew they had to end this, The desperately fused the two planets apart and then created a wasteland boundary straight down the middle of this new, hybrid world. They created a gate, one safe passageway from one world to the next, but this gate was locked and the key's location was unknown.
Things finally started to calm down and everyone expected the Imperian to disperse. Now I'm sure you can guess the next part, see the story is starting to wind down and close, and if this story closes then you won't have a story, Obviously the Imperians didn't disperse. Instead they used their positioning and backing to grip Ranal and force it into a military dictatorship. Now, two centuries later, they are searching for the key as they wish to expand into Tera (the name of the other planet.) And now this is where your story begins.
In a small nameless town in Ranal during an important festival celebrating the goddess of the fields a young man is about to have a chance meeting with fate (and fate is a drunk old lecher.)

Damion walked out of his house, enjoying the sunny day. His dad was in the fields, and his mom was dealing with the animals. He decided to go and have some fun. His brother was helping his father, and Damion wasn't that helpful in the fields. So usually it was just his father and brother. He was much better at delivering messages. But today, he would play. He went looking for something to do. He also remember the festival was tonight.
He started looking for something to do. He went to find some of the other kids, who were probably by the lake swimming. He got to the lake, and found his friends backpacks and clothes and stuff. He took off his backpack, shoes, ect., placing them under a rock so they would not blow away. He went to the diving rock and dove into the water (its not that high). He found a friend of his, Tim. "Cant wait for the festival, right Tim?""Yeah, i hear its going to be the best one yet". Damion dove down into the water, going somewhat deep, then surfacing for air. "You are getting better""Thanks, this is a great day" he replied, spinning in the water. He loved to swim. He was having a good day. Its a good thing too, since he had no idea what was coming at him. The festival was closing....and his journey would start soon...
(TA DA, Intro post! What do you guys think?)

It was that time of year. Festivals. Nothing was more depressing than a festival. It was so bad while the everybody is dancing and bars are giving out free ale, hell a good man would never complain about free ale. It was the day after, suddenly you were reminded that the world had gone to hell, that they were now being ruled by a mad man, and the only escape was across a barren wasteland. Yeah life sucked, and after four days were up everyone would remember life sucked. Luckily Orith had a cure for that. Five pints of ale and some guys fist in his face. It was guaranteed to make you forget everything except the massive hangover. Yeah, that and moving onto the next small village with a festival. Achieving constant ending happiness meant being a constant drunk or having a never ending festival. Orith had found that if you combine those constant happiness became perfect happiness. Yeah he was living the good life.
That was until the kid showed up. He was running through town on his way to the lake, just a normal looking boy to the naked eye. But Orith saw something different, something he didn't like. That boy was gonna be a hero. "Son of a bitch...." Potential heroes were hunted by the Imperians, nobody else knew this but Orith knew a lot of things other people didn't know. Orith was a fighter, not to mention the only one who immediately noticed that kid's potential, Orith also knew fate didn't make mistakes. He sighed, there was gonna be an adventure, Orith was familiar with the drill but the kid was so young. How was this suppose to start without him looking like a creeper.
Once again fate decided to slap him in the face with the answer as a group of Imperians rode into town.

Damion, after having a nice swim, got his stuff. It was time for the festival. He hurried back into town, the rest of the kids soon behind him. Damion watched as pleanty of food was brought out. He also noticed some Imperians in town. One of them gave him a good look. Damion blinked, and hopped away. He looked for some free food they always gave. He got some apples, chicken, ect. He was having the time of his life. Of course that was not going to last forever. The same Imerian from before was looking around, and noticed him again. Damion, slightly scared of this man who looked at him funny twice, left, going back into the party. The man started to follow him. He noticed another man who was a Imperian also started to follow him.....
(Oh no! Someone save him! Maybe, i can always find a way out of this. But still, this is a good introduction for one of the others. I cant have him fight off 2 Imperians at the 3rd post though....he still needs more training...somewhat....maybe.....we shall see.....still save him! Just to get a good introduction in!)

Qassie heard a commotion. She turned around a saw three Imperians going after a guy. She sighs. Imperians. They are so creepy! She starts to follow them with a dagger in hand.

"I'm starting to hate the world more and more." Orith muttered to himself as he noticed a girl with a dagger approaching the Imperians. He slid up behind her. "Let me handle this." Two Imperians were nothing to Orith. They wore thin metal armor, carried spears with short swords on their sides. Their helmets looked like plates with a single spike on them. He ran up behind one, jumped, grabbing the Imperian's helmet as he flipped over the man. He shoved the spike on the helmet through the man's chest, The other Imperian turned and came at him with the spear. "I'm way to drunk for this crap." Orith slipped slightly to the right and caught the spear between his arm and rib cage. With his left arm he stole the Imperian's short sword from its sheath and shoved it into the man's face. Blood sprayed across Orith's face as the man's body dropped like a rock. Wiping off the blade of the short sword Orith looked at the kid. "Hey, you okay?" The rest of the squad was approaching but Orith ignored them, he viewed them as nothing more than flies, while the Imperias were powerful they were too organized. Orith's unorthodox, weaponless, fighting style threw them off. "Girl, now get that dagger ready."

"Who are you? Whats going on? Why does that man have a sword and coming at you?...." he kept asking from panic. Moments later, someone grabbed him from behind. He started to flail and kick, and while in most cases that never ever works, this time it did.....because his leg kicked.....well, im sure you can figure out where he kicked. The men let go, and out of pure....adreneline? fear? spite? Wll whatever it was gave him a good punch in the face (as the person was kneeling down in pain after being kicked there.....ouch...). The man went down, and Damion blinked. "What just happened?" he finished off his questions....
(well, that was interesting....dam, that guy went down hard....)

There were four of them. Well five if you count the one the kid just dropped. Three had spears with short swords on their belts, one had a long sword in one hand and a shield in the other. Obviously the captain. Orith tossed the short sword to the kid. "Keep a hold of that, stab anyone who gets too close. Girl! Protect the kid. I'll take the captain. If you can just keep the midget alive I can clean up after I'm done with blondy." The large, hobo looking man, lurched forward and the captain tried to bash him with the shield. Orith ducked it and ripped the shield off the man's arm, using the moment to smash the captain in the face. The captain fell back and took a moment to figure out what happened. Thats was the sign the fight had officially started. As expected all three of the lesser Imperians went after the kid.

Damion blinked, catching the sword, but vastly not thinking of the weight, and began to spin a little. He did do any "lethal" hits while spinning, but the 3 lesser Imperians were now belt less. They charged, and Damion instinctivly fought them off....well. He actually defended himself fairly well. He didn't even know how he was doing it. He managed to stab one in the gut. He went down. He knocked a sword out of one of the other persons hands. He was disarmed and slightly startled. the last one went for him and they fenced for awhile, before Damion rolled under and behind him and stabed him in the back.
"Now i really want to know what just happened......" he noted. He looked at the man. "Who are you?"

Orith raised the shield above his head and then dropped it as fast as he could aiming for the Imperian's throat. The Imperian rolled to the right and sprung up, long sword in hand. After blocking a few shots Orith bashed him in the face again then followed up with a gut shot. The Imperian went to his knees only for a second, but thats all Orith needed. Three quick thrusts came from a knife that had been hidden underneath the drunk's scarf. The knife was tiny, with a two inch blade and three inch handle, but its the only weapon that the right person needs. He addressed the kid again, now that they were free of enemies. "Me? I'm just a drunk. Unfortunately I'm also your new best friend." He took the sword from the child and kneeled down. "The more important question is who are you?"

(can i just say it was really fun to re read that post ^.^. Granted, one of the hits he did was actually lethal, but i meant that for the spinning. One is still disarmed, one is on the floor passed out and bleeding, one is dead. XD Its a good thing he had no clue what he was doing or else it might have ended differently)
"Im Damion Gray, and you don't look drunk" he noted. He also noticed that everyone else was ether too drunk or too loud to notice the fight much. And also he then asked "Why?". He looked at the sword and the men and then asked "Im not in trouble right?". He then added "So what was your name again?"

"That's the trick kid. To never look as drunk as you are. I go by Orith." Orith sighed, not really wanted to explain all this to the kid but knowing he was going to have to. "Yes, your in trouble Damion. Your in big trouble. But its not your fault, blame fate, blame destiny, blame the motherfucking king but don't blame yourself for this one kid. Did you ever hear the story of Cedric and The Dragon king?" It was a common fairy tale and Orith knew for a fact that every year the story was told at the festival. "Your gonna be in a story kinda like that one. Could you take me to your current caretakers?"

"They live all the way over there" he noted, pointing to the big blue house. Granted, the big blue house that just bursted into flames and is burning down, but that is still it. Some Imperians also were headed their way now with explosive stuff. Damion started to cry a little. He also noted "I Don't like today!". Poor Damion. Anyways, Imperians coming, Damion is sad now. "What is going on!!!!" he asked Orith.

"Guess I don't need to ask permission....." Orith sheathed his small knife, tossed the sword on the ground, scooped up the kid and threw him over his shoulder. "This is gonna hurt a little." He took off at full speed, heading as far away from the village as possible. The smell of smoke hit his nostrils and Orith went into autopilot as his brain switched into flash backs.
A burning cross, the body of a woman strapped to it, it was truly a horrible way to die. In front of the cross kneeled Orith, in tears. Then the image was covered by another, the face of a beautiful woman smiling. "Karma's a bitch." The words echoed through his mind over and over...
Orith snapped out of it just as he plowed down an Imperian. "Sonofabitch!" He continued running, the child bouncing on his shoulder. Three Imperians on horses were following them. Seriously, I wasn't placed here just to die protecting some kid, okay maybe I was but isn't the kid supposed to at least survive? Orith slipped into the forest surrounding the village. The Imperian's horses would have a harder time maneuvering in the forested area.

(im back from parties of new years and such!!!)
Damion looked over and saw them on horses catching up. He began to panic a little, and picked an acorn from a passing tree, throwing it at one of the horses, and it managed to hit the horse in the eye, causing it to fall down and knock down some of the other horses. Well, all of the other horses. Damion looked around for some place they could hide, and the only place was some creepy old shrine on a nearby hill. "We could hide there!" he pointed out, pointing to the old shrine. The Imperian were almost back up too, so they would need to hide...
(Question: Shrine being a Magic Hero Shrine with some sort of stuff that helps in some way or another: Yes or No)

Re: [OOC] Rantera: A Key to Fate
What Character said. A lot of people have shown interest in this and then ended up too busy or just decided they didn't care so that's why the spots keep opening and closing. I actually enjoy having newbies around as long as they can make a decent character.
Re: [OOC] Rantera: A Key to Fate
Censored is very acurate with this. Feel free to make a charrie for any open slot, as it has probably been updated recently...
Re: [OOC] Rantera: A Key to Fate
Heyo.
Sorry if this is out of line or not with the norm of how things are done on this site. I am new here, though not to RPs in any sense of the word. I read at one part that all the roles were filled, I was just wondering if that was still correct. I happen to be interested in joining in the RP if there is a spot for me. I did not want to submit a character sheet however if the spots were filled and just be denied.
Please let me know if you can use me and if you are interested in having someone who is new to the site in your Story. If you are not, I understand completely and good luck to you.
Thank you for your time,
Rhaegon.

I could play the Trickster, but the Heroine is still open, so if you'll have me I'll do either one, it's up to you!
