DARK OMENS
In a future yet to be,
A cataclysmic battle will ensue.
For the fate of the world,
We struggled,
We fought...
And we lost.
At the end of all hope,
With our backs against the wall,
There is but one final gambit to play.
Mages,
Warriors...
Champions of Gaia.
Be cast back through time
And alter the course of our fate,
Foretold by dark omens.

Before getting into the premise of the roleplay, I'd like to just get a few things out of the way first. The setting is medieval fantasy (no guns), humans only and single character limit, albeit with a twist which I'll explain shortly.
So basically, the skinny of the story is something like this: you're a hero from the future who's been sent back 10 years into your past self to avert a tragedy that will trigger the destruction of humanity by forces from other worlds and a traitorous deity. If you'd like to know more, then please read on.

The goddess of the world, known as Gaia, had three deity sons known as the Warrior, the Magician and the Trickster. The Warrior had incredible strength and power, the Magician had control over the elements and the Trickster had freedom of form and movement. All three were meant to protect and guide humanity as beings from other worlds tried to enslave them. Dragons, ogres, demons and the like.
Many battles were fought throughout the ages and together with humanity, the three brothers managed to beat them back each and every time. But throughout all that time, it became apparent that the Trickster was the least favoured Brother among the humans, if not outright despised. This is because between each invasion, humanity tended to turn on itself and the most amount of misery by far was wrought by those blessed with the powers of the Trickster.
Deceivers and betrayers, they would often make puppets out of kings and usurp control of entire nations, causing wars, famine and deep divides among the people. Almost always, they would play the role of the villain throughout the annals of history and as those born with the blood of the Trickster came to be shunned, so too did the Trickster himself. No matter how much he had contributed to protecting the world, humanity would sing praises to Gaia, the Warrior and the Magician... but not him.
Eventually, the Trickster was no longer counted among the Guardian Brothers and he became so embittered with jealousy that when his only worshipers consisted of black-hearted rogues and devils, he sought to become the monster they thought him to be and abandoned all interest in protecting an ungrateful race, seeking instead to engineer their destruction. With all the combined malice of those who had misused his powers in the past, the Trickster sewed chaos among humanity and when they were at their weakest, he opened the way between worlds. All the enemies of old came flooding back in a torrent and not even the Guardian Brothers could stop them this time.
The Warrior fought valiantly, but was eventually slain in the field of battle. The last remnants of humanity dwindled to a mere handful and all, it seemed, would soon be lost... but the Magician had a final gambit to play, which brings us to now. Gathering the most powerful mortal champions left, he sent their souls ten years back through time into their past selves and gave them a final mission. To stop the assassination of the king in the city of Liotra and thereby prevent the beginning of the end.

So basically, your character would essentially be a composite character of their past and future selves. Here are a few examples to illustrate (free to claim if not used already):
Anyways, the roleplay will begin immediately after the leap through time and your character would have experienced it as something like waking up from a dream (or nightmare). It's important to note that your character will wake up with all their memories from the future, but NOT their abilities. All that will have to be built back up from scratch. That said though, as a descendant of the first heroes, those blessed by the Guardian Brothers, you will at least have a power you were born with. It can either be physically oriented (aspect of the Warrior), relating to elemental magic (Magician), or stealth (Trickster), but only one of the three aspects. Can't mix and match I'm afraid.
For those joining at the start, your character would either be within or near the city of Liotra. For whatever reason, you were already around when the assassination of the king was about to take place. For those joining a bit later, we'll just say they were a bit too far away to make it in time, but can still have a part to play in the events to come. In any case, the roleplay will be open all the time. Just make sure you can post when it's your turn to post and say when you can't. If you don't feel like there's much you can write at a certain moment, there's always the option of skipping your turn and if you don't post within three days, your turn will be skipped anyway so communication will be key.
It's important to note that for the personality of your character, you should detail how they were like in the past compared to their current selves. If the disparity is big enough, say that they might as well be two different people in the same body, then it's allowed to treat them as if they are two different characters with one in control at a time. If you're a fan of RWBY, think Ozpin and Oscar. Though it's also possible for a perfect merge to occur and it won't be necessary to deal with such nonsense. Basically, this is all optional so whichever route you decide to go with, it's up to you.
If you've read this far then hopefully that all sounds fair and if you're interested in joining, please let me know so I can notify you when everything's ready to go.
