Before creating your Character, it would be good to keep all these in mind about the story:
1. Tel`Quessir have been at war with The Wretched for over a thousand years, barely holding on. They're all that's left (in the known world at least) of the sentient creatures of Order.
2. The Tel`Quessir recently retook their ancient capital, Tal`Velahr, so everyone is rejoicing as they have never pushed the Wretched back so far before. (our rp will begin about a year after the retaking of Tal`Velahr). Although they have gained ground, the Wretched are still very much a threat throughout the lands, even behind the defense lines.
3. But between a very detached high king and a rather selfish crown prince, the Tel`Quessir pretty much put a fullstop to their fight and called it a day, celebrating their 'victory' like retaking the capital was the main goal afterall, instead of eradicating the Wretched. Despite that, certain quarters still call for vigilance and for the Tel`Quessir to continue to press the fight. Namely the First Princess (which I will play) the Grandmagus and a few other generals. But due to the holding order from the high king, any sort of counter-attack by the Tel`Quessir is a moot. **tentatively, RP will start roughly here**Worse still, a 'mysterious figure' will appear and bring darker tidings. That the retreat of the Wretched is just a distraction, and that a huge force of Chaos is preparing to sweep out of Blightreun and decimate the Tel`Quessir once and for all. But there is hope, an ancient treaty (that's the weird language bit in 'forgotten promises' tab in the main thread) signed by the long forgotten races with a Great Elven King of a time passed, Sildorin Velahr who sacrificed himself to end the Wyrmwars (crazy dragons basically). The catch is, according to the treaty, the Saelas and dwarves will only answer to someone from the bloodline of Sildorin Velahr. And his last descendant died fifty years ago without an heir. BUT the mysterious figure will reveal that there is indeed an heir to the Velahr bloodline, and that King Erlathan was not the last. I could go on, but we're already pass spoiler alert territory
4. Knowing all this, Princess Amaranth will have to gather a group of close individuals, people that she can trust, to find this heir. Seek the aid of the dwarves and saelas before the Wretched begin their attack! So yes, there is a 'quest' (adventure), there is political intrigue (cos the Crown Prince is uhm... lets say, deluded for now and will do anything to see himself in control of everything), and yes friendship (cos we're people on a quest! also, Hell0NHighWater will be co-GM with me, and will be playing Amaranth's childhood friend. hence' there will be some romance (within the usual guidelines ofc))
*if any of you wants to step up I don't mind discussing the finer details of plot with you guys too. Such as how you guys might be related (or not related) to Amaranth such that she would include u in the group. I've opened up the spot of her younger sister as a very obvious and straightforward option.
Your CS will be approved when I 'Like' it.

[div class=textbox][font=Timelord]Name:
Age: (This does affect your character's skills and background. Do note that elves are not considered a full adult until they are 30. Recommended age for elf, 25-200. Human, 20-50.)

Appearance: (include one realistic (basically non-anime design/colours) art picture, if you can't find one I can help!)

Class: (see the available character classes for further details)
Personality: (flaws and virtues, you don't need to be overdramatic, but no mary-sues.)
Tagline: (include how you were given/named. e.g. Luthien Goblinsmacker. Famed for killing a hundred goblins with a flyswatter in one night.)
Backstory:
Story Relation: (If you know any of the other characters. Your character's thoughts on the Chaos War. Should the Tel`Quessir bolster their defenses as the Crown Prince and High King wishes? Or press the attack as Princess Amaranth and the Grandmagus calls for. Do note that regardless of your view, you will eventually have to team up with the Princess on her quest. So try to tie your character in some way. I'm open for discussion!)
Skills, Interests and Fears:
Spells: (For Mages only. Describe in sufficient detail the extent of your abilities)
