Classical Fantasy RP? [Sign-Ups]

Coro

Evil Overlord of the Rebellion
I guess I'll come out of the shadows for this. :3


Well, if you're reading this you have either made a grave mistake in your clicking/adress-typing, or you've come with the intention of at least pondering the idea of a more classical fantasy-styled RP, run by yours truly. I can assure you, if the process by which your computer displayed this page was the latter, you'll welcome the idea.




Classical Fantasy RP, Basic Information










So, to begin, the first thing we'll need is a setting. This RP will be set in a fantastical realm of magic and mayhem, the world of Ysilhaven. A medieval-styled world, filled to the brim with differing cultures of humans, along with the magical species that are littered across the world. Some examples of these various species include; pixies (small, winged critters with a knack for mischief and fun), undines (akin to a mermaid, with magical properties), harpuia (bird-like women of the sky), minotaurs, orcs, and the ever-present but rarely seen angels and demons.


With our setting a little more fleshed out, we'll need to have a minor plot, won't we? Allow me to spin a small tale to start, and let the RP do the rest.


A long time ago, in the world of Ysilhaven, there was a war waged between the angels and the demons that came from above and below. Both wanted to use the middle ground of Ysilhaven to launch further attacks on the other side. Exactly how the war began, nobody knows for sure, not even the most ancient leaders either side has to offer. But, with the war waging all around them, the inhabitants of Ysilhaven had to choose sides.


The humans sided with the angels, long having worshipped the majestic beings. Most of the magical species sided with the demons, feeling more kinship with them than with the aloof and condescending angels of yore. Of course there were crossovers, such as humans loyal to the demonic hordes, but as a whole each side stayed together.



As the battle drew into a close, the humans and angels emerged victorious. The angels sealed the demons back into their depths to be dealt with later, and left the humans to rule the earth unchallenged.



This is where our story begins.



SIGN-UP!


So, I will provide a quick template for anyone interested in signing up. Fill it out to your leisure, and post it back here. I'll be approving them every so often.



Name:



Age:



Gender:



Appearance:



Race: (Don't go overboard, and try not to pick something anyone else has, other than human. We don't want a million vampires or werewolves. One or two is fine. Of course magical races will some abilities within reason that others won't.)



Personality: (Try to be somewhat original. If what you're writing sounds like a cliched character for an anime, I won't be impressed.)



Backstory: (Feel free to be mysterious, but I need a taste at least.)



Items on hand: (Again, don't go overboard.)



Skills: (Off-hand, what is your character good at that others might not be?)



Weaknesses: (Every good character has a couple.)



Skill with Magic: (Magic is very present in Ysilhaven, and all inhabitants have some form of magic in them. In humans, it manifests more passively, and rarely in active abilities. Magical races need trade offs in the form of weaknesses for access to more powerful magics. It's understandable that an Undine will have power with water, but they ain't summoning tidal waves for free, got me? And magic will be very precious, not a plaything like some other RPs *coughWWcough* I know from experience those got out of hand very fast.)



One thing to note about posting a sign-up, is that I am extremely picky. I look for interesting ideas, originality, and most importantly, good grammar and spelling. I WILL NOT approve someone who doesn't share these qualities, nor will I tolerate it in the RP itself.



Other than that, I'm incredibly easy going as far as anything else goes. Just let everything come naturally to you, spell-check your writing, and we'll get along famously.

Shiyoumi: I will have to say no to this character, it feels far too overpowered and strikes me as somewhat bland. You're more than welcome to make another character, however.
 
Name: Vesper Signum


Age: 19



Gender: Female



Appearance:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/25212471@N03/2911366304/


Race: She is half-fairie



Personality: Vesper is content. That is the best way to describe her. She is normally in a cheery mood and is always willing to help out around the house or others when asked but she doesn't really have something that drives her. Vesper has mostly just slid through life not really wanting to change much and so has not changed much herself. She has her moments of anger and sadness but it mostly comes through as disappointment. Although not maybe people know Vesper had the tendicy to ignore or block out bad things so that she does not have to deal with them and is a bit unemotional.


Backstory: Vesper was born to a human mother and although she did not really know her fairie father as he was a known player he did make time to spend with her. Vesper did not reject her step-siblings either when her mother married. Vesper does want to travel with her father.


Items on hand: Vesper carries very little on her person. She owns a dagger given to her by her father that he picked up on his travels. She usually carries a sweet or two as well. Vesper also has a flask which is filled with spring water usually.



Skills: Vesper is not really skilled in much. She is okay with her dagger but could not handle a real fight. She is a good cook though not the best and a good sewer as well having made a few small items. or patching things up. Vesper though is good at attaining information when she has to. She tends to read up on things and is somewhat well versed in history and races. Fairly handy with a map.



Weaknesses: Vesper is a coward. She is also not good with blood and gets queasy around it. Vesper is also terrible at keeping secrets.



Skill with Magic: Vesper is okay with magic. She has light telekensis and uses it mostly for household chores. She can move small or light objects fine but the bigger or heavier give her difficulty and can cause headaches or nosebleeds if she uses it. It is hard for her to use it on a person and can normally only push them a few feet back. Vesper is also pro-efficent with air magic, able to float herself a few feet off the air though not for long periods of time.
 
Mint: First approval goes to you. If you could also add in an appearance to your post, which I forgot to put in, my bad, you'd be set. :3
 

Name: Gwendon Starfeather


Age: 22


Gender: Male


Appearance: His wings are folded behind him


Race: Griffmen (A race of birdlike people from the far east, In the land beyond the endless sands)


Personality: A bit condescending of humans, as they remind him of featherless chicks, not yet ready to leave the nests.


Backstory: His father was a Silverwing Captain, part of a mercenary company sent from the homeland to help the humans fight their war. Gwendon was still a chick at the time, having not yet earned his quills, but as the war ended. he found himself battle hardened and became the leader of the Silverwings shortly before the war ended. After the war. Most of the company took the long journey back to the great nests, but since Gwendon had spent most of his life on the battlefield, he no longer felt the connection to his old nest, and instead wanders the human lands.


Items on hand: A long hooking polearm called a "talon" that can be used effectively from flight to gruesome results. A similarly hooked knife. Light basic armoring that still allow for flight, and a pouch that holds his basic survival stuff (and gold)


Skills: Flight, sharp eyes, and battlefield experiences. He can hunt and track, and even without a weapon, his sharp beak and claws can easily separate flesh from bone


Weaknesses: Hates getting wet, not very magically inclined (though he can use magical artifacts, he can't cast his own magics)


Skill with Magic: He can fly? I guess air magic would be the closest thing to what you're looking for.


 
I think I'll stay away from a mage,this time. We both know how I handle magic. ESPECIALLY telekinesis.


Name: The only name he gives is "Honnoleath",and often shuts down anyone who inquires further.


Age: 37


Sex: Male

Honnoleath stands at a jaw-dropping ten feet,with a shoulder-span of an astounding two and a half feet,with his hands reaching just above his knees. Built like a tank,he has an extremely imposing figure. His head appears large,mostly due to a back-swept armoured crest growing from the brow and behind the ears. His ears resemble that of an elf's,but broader,and sporting a secondary shorter point below the primary one. His black hair,which grows under the crest,is kept in a short knot,reaching the nape of his neck. The crest ends with a smooth curved edge. His skin is stone gray,with his crest,and by extension,bones,jet black. His eyes are wide and narrow,and set deep,with a white scalera,brown iris,and black pupil. His face is clean shaven,revealing a very squarish chin,but otherwise angular and long face. His nose is long,broad,and shallow,ending in a slight hook. His mouth is filled with teeth designed to pierce and tear,black like the rest of his bones. His hands are five-membered,and end in small black talons. His muscles are extremely pronounced,and dense,providing something like a natural armour. He wears his armour with pride,but only cleans it,in order to keep it from reflecting light. He lacks a scabbard for his weapon.


Race: Ghor. They hail from the more tropical climes of the world,living in a totalitarian military republic,with a rigid caste system. Honnoleath is a member of the Shield Caste.


Personality: Honnoleath is cold and aloof,caring only for loyalty to one's superiors and one's own convictions,as well as strength of body. He has zero sense of morality,and will do what he believes will fulfill his orders best. He has a fondness of fine art,likening the artisan's mastery of their tools to that of a warrior's mastery of their weapons.


Background: "Who is worthy of respect?" Honnoleath was sent alone to the mainland of Ysilhaven by the Warrior King of the Ghor. Respect to the Ghor is earned through blood and action,and therefore the Ghor univerally respect proud and talented warriors. Leaving the Ghor Republic with only his armour,weapon,basic supplies,and a small ship,Honnoleath set sail for the mainland. This was ten years ago. Refusing to return to his people until he came upon an adequate answer to his King's question,Honnoleath still roams the lands,in search of an army,order,or nation worthy of Ghor respect.


Items on Hand: Honnoleath wears his armour proudly. Although dull,it is expertly crafted. His armour is fairly angular,making it quite difficult to land a square blow in intense combat. His armour is worn in two layers; a splintmail suit with platemail pieces worn over top. His breastplate is thick,featuring the sigil of his caste; a shield bearing the emblem of the Ghor. His arms are protected by layered plates,with thick shoulder and elbow plates attached to the upper arm. His gauntlets are thick on the forearm,allowing them to serve in lieu of a shield against smaller arms. His legs are protected in a similar manner to his arms. Honnoleath's weapon is an impressively large bearded axe with a two foot spike at the top end of the shaft,and a hammer-like head on the opposite side of the shaft to the axe head,allowing him great versatility in combat. The weapon is enormous,bur he wields it with one hand. He also has an assortment of basic survival tools; knives,flint,twine,ect.


Skills: The man is a master-at-arms,being able to expertly use any weapon you hand him,however he preffers his personal weapon above all others. Honnoleath is also quite proficient in unarmed combat. All Shields recieve survivalist training; failiure to complete the training meand dying in the wilderness cold,tired,and alone. Less a skill and more a trait,but he feels no pain.


Weaknesses: He feels no pain,which means the only way to know if he's screwed or not is when his body gives up on him...Or he uses common sense. He cannot use magic,period,and will shun all magic,calling it "Free strength for the weak".


Skill With Magic: Not at all.

Race: Unknown (Assumed to be some sort of demon)



Personality: Gnasher is easily distracted, and probably only about as smart as a sack of potatoes, but what little he does know, is that he's ready to die defending anything he cares about.



Backstory: Gnasher is a natural born fighter, but lacks the mind of one, or the general persona of one. Most times the giant simply slumps about, following whatever catches his attention. Recently he's grown to dislike sharp objects after being chased from a town by an angry mob. He's not sure why, but everyone was yelling something about eating a horse.

Skills: Smashing. Gnasher is unnaturally strong even for a being of his size, but lacks the finesse to do much more complicated than lifting things.

Sui: Approved!


Heartsteal: Approveddddd.


Rid: We'll talk about the race, my only real concern being the race's culture and such. We'll talk later, but conditionally approved.


Pandaa: Angels are their own race, not ascended humans. And the magic seems off, and is slightly overpowered. If you'd like to have a character whose mood swings would impact the story and their abilities, we can talk in a PM or in the shout box. It seems too drastic and overpowered for this RP. Not approved, but feel free to talk to me or make another character.
