Scenario:
For a thousand years, people have lived in harmony. Not a single war raged. People lived without a care. Mages, warriors, archers, all flourished. Then, just two years ago, that all changed. One mage found an ancient text, thought to have been burned. It taught how to separate one's soul into two parts: The moral part containing the soul and half the mind and the dark part containing the hidden recesses of the mind and soul, as well as the other part of the mind.
The mage practiced for months, on animals small and large to evade suspicion. Finally, when he thought he was ready, the mage set his sights on the first victim, his daughter Luina. It took only two hours to ready and recite everything. What became of Luina is not well known. The mage, however, was found dead at the scene, blood sprayed on the walls. The book had disappeared.
All was quiet for two months, minus the rumors. Then, a village was massacred in a night. Others followed at two week intervals, always on time, for two years. Then, when everything else had failed, the queen sent out five of the best people she had, a Warrior, a Dark Mage, a Light Mage, an Archer, and a Diviner, to stop the threat and find the book.
What she doesn’t expect is the threat to spread.
She doesn’t expect the spells to be learned.
And above all, she doesn’t expect that good may not always win…
Setting:
Medieval
Magical
rules: 1. i reserve the right to allow whom i wish into this role-play. I will check other rp's you are in to check your posting style to se if will be good for this rp.
2. please. have a backup rp'er if you are going to be away for an extended period of time.
3. no one line posts.... -_- it is frustrating having to read like 40 posts and only a little bit has happened. if you are talking to a character, move to chat, or another program, and do it there then have one of you insert it into the rp. if this is not possible dew to time zone differenced... please just be as descriptive as possible while writing.
4. do NOT take control of another person’s character, or bring them back to life. ONLY if you get the ok form RPer and send it to me. Both parties will have to do this or it will count as an offence.
5. Please refrain from posting idle chatter in the rp its self.. that is what the ooc is for. (i am working on doing this to, I’m guilty of inserting random things like i gust did here) <--- that is what I mean right there.
6. Please... you characters MUST HAVE FLAWS, not something lik 'cant read' or little things like that. everything has a negative.
7. you MUST have a personality stated in your character sheet. it is ok if you veer
SLIGHTLY from it. Nothing like saying they are shy, then having them walk up to a random person say hi and walk off..
8. do not post more than two pages if someone is out for an extended period of time, or they are not online. It gets frustrating when an rp is moving too fast for even the GM to keep up.
9. No more than two sheets per person for a main character...... nps do not need a sheet unless they are going to around for a while. (like more than a few pages or will pop up often thought the rp.)
10. Listen to me please.. i do not like having to repeat myself... if you break any rules... i will give you a warning via pm AND in the OCC.
11. BE RESPECTIFULL... please do not fight in the ooc... or main rp.
12. have fun and enjoy. i am sure if you follow all of the rules, i won’t bite or eat you. promise!!!

8. Doesn't always think ahead, a bit too optimistic at times, may not say when something is bothering her or wrong (Such as illness or a comment by others), Is not very skilled in telling when others are ill.

lets get this started, then maybe more will join in, if not we have it all to ourselves :3
-
1. riku (chainmeil)

3. human
4. tall, thin and lightly built, he normally wears black baggy pants, a loose shirt with long sleves with small pockets hidden inside where he keeps his main tools and bread, the ends streached out making them wide and hiding his hands most of the time. he has long, straight dark red hair and an almost musical voice

7. adept with some form of rare magic riku can change the nature of what he holds, efectivly re-pourposing it. (turning the cross into a sword for example)
8. his hunger is the main one, when he get's hungry his powers seem to increase but his temper does to, making him more likely to lash out mindlessly if not savagly than think......and the mere smell of food will distract him (think puppy chasing a ball)
9. good when calm........questionable when prevoked
10. Back-story (will come up as the story goes)
11. collects small trinkets and objects to test his effects on them, carrying them in a bag that hangs from his shoulder

1. Lucinda
2. 22
3. Umbra Wolf

7. She is incredibly strong and dangerous in her own right. She can pick out an enemie's weaknesses and play with them. Lucinda is also unpredictable.

4. Tall and hefty, long red fur. Blue eyes. Wears a chainmail "Dress", boots, and leggings most times, but also carries archer garb.

6. Chain mace
7. Incredibly powerful, well trained in the art of attack and defence. She can carry a lot of weight, often helping Rachel train.
8. She tends to be a bit slow physically, and is always ready to jump to Rachel's aid, injuring herself in the process.
9. Good

I'm DEFINITELY joining this one though... if you'll have me.
1. Name: Quentin Jekyll
2. Age: 21 (Yep... and older character. I finally did it.)
3. Species: Half taricha granulosa (rough-skinned newt), half cat
4. Appearance: A newt with the eyes of a cat dressed in dark brown pants and black-brown boots with a cream-colored undershirt and a brown jerkin; also wears a ranger's camouflage cloak and a double-knife belt with a quiver on his back.
5. Personality: Calm, but often makes wry remarks about things
6. Weapon: Longbow with a quiver of 24 arrows, a saxe knife and a throwing knife
7. Skills: Expert marksman and knivesman, can poison a person just by adding some of the excretion from his skin glands to their food or drink (TRUE FACT: ROUGH-SKINNED NEWTS ARE FREAKING POISONOUS), enhanced tracking abilities, is nearly undetectable with his cloak on and the hood up
8. Shortcomings: Can't kiss people on the lips or have people kiss him on the cheek; has great difficulty when facing an opponent close-range, ESPECIALLY if said opponent wields a battle-ax or a very big sword; regular swordsmen he can kind of fend off, but barely
9. Division (Side): Good... despite the fact that he could pretty much slay an entire village just by swimming in their well
10. Back-story (Optional): Nothing really needed here...
11. Other: Is often believed to be gay because he won't let girls kiss him... not that that happens a lot. He's not really the type you'd want to kiss anyway...
(Oh boy... Lucinda's back. :S Hoorayyyy.... *GULP*)

-
Alright. Kinda expected that anyway, I've been a bit of a jerk in the past.

What is the difference between a Diviner, and a White Mage?
Are Diviners a summoner-type, or are they Paladin-type?
-
Diviners are summoners that interact with the dead and with goddesses/gods/what have it. White mages are "Good" mages that have powers related to the life force of others.
-
quick question, what are the avalable spot's left on the good team?
-
there are still three spots left
the others of aldrea are side characters besides lucinda and danny
-
no i mean of these five
a Warrior
a Dark Mage
a Light Mage
an Archer
a Diviner

1. Name: Horace
2. Age: 22
3. Species: Arctic Wolf
4. Appearance: A double layer of robes, the outer is white with red trimming and the inner is green with gold trimming. Wears waterproof leather boots, along with a shirt of chain mail. He is 6' 2'', with red highlights at his head, and an average physical stature.
5. Personality: Eager to help, give charity, and is usually a cheery and cheeky fellow.
6. Weapon: An Egyptian-style Scimitar, along with his magical abilities.
7. Skills: A man blessed by the gods, Horace has the ability to call up the dead to fight by his side, along with the assistance of the gods/goddesses/what-have-you.
8. Shortcomings: Except for his abilities and knowledge as a Diviner, as well as some street smarts, Horace can't speak to the opposite gender, else he stammer his way into forgetting what he was going to say.
9. Division: Good
10. Back-story: Horace is the nephew of Queen Escenda, but with the Queen's daughter being alive and his own abilities causing suspicion he has no foreseeable future as the land's prince or king.
11. Other: He is an excellent chef...
I don't know if I made him bait for Lucinda, or just the prudish extrovert of the group. Also, I'm the Diviner...

everyhing but deviner.. and.. um Danny!!! what whas yours again???
Post Merge: June 03, 2012, 05:45:39 AM
you are good chrono. :)
-
from what i can see, chrono is the deviner, Aldrea has the warrior, i think i'm the dark mage, so we need a light mage and an archer.....that right? (was half asleep earlier >_>)
-
Yep. :) Kaya mentioned a second character, so we'll see what she puts up for her.
-
1. Name: Elistra
2. Age: 23
3. Species: Black Dragon
4. Appearance: 6' 3'', full studded leather armor under a green tattered cloak.
5. Personality: Tomboy, and moderately perverted.
6. Weapon: Composite bow, a backpack quiver that holds about 200 arrows, and her longsword.
7. Skills: Can land head shots on moving targets, as well as hunt, fish, and set up camp.
8. Shortcomings: Tends to let instinct rule over logic.
9. Division (Side): Good
10. Back-story (Optional): Elistra is Horace's "guardian", as Horace's tendencies to do good also draw the attention of local criminals trying to make a name for themselves. The rest she would rather keep between herself the royal family (Horace included).
11. Other: Elistra is only attracted to women, and is one of the few females that Horace will talk to.
My second character, and she shall be archer.

-
sorry i did not c that. i will change. XD
You should give her a club for sneak attacks :3
*sneak sneak sneak* *CONK!* *loot* *sneak sneak sneak*
-
*Does happy dance.* Woo baby! What do you say you join us in the RP? :)
-
Danny, it is up to you whether or not Elistra is speaking the truth, or just blowing things out of proportion...
-
Hmm, okay. :) I could have some fun with this. *Evil grin*

I honestly don't know what to do. If these gods can contact a character, it wouldn't make sense to only do it periodically. It would make more sense to contact the character constantly, give them updates, protect them from harm, and allow the characters to take down the evil easily, eliminating the purpose of the roleplay. It makes things hard to work with, opens massive plot holes... I can't write anything to it. Even telling some things and not others because of rules hits a few hard notes. When I mentioned blessed amulets, it was in the same way as a rosary: no signicant power except a show of faith. So if the gods/goddesses can tell things, why not sooner or more often?
I'm honestly sitting here, staring. For days. Chrono, PLEASE explain this one.

I believe that a Diviner is a LIVING holy symbol. Whereas some items can be blessed by priests and clerics, a Diviner is someone born as a holy item.
I can change the context to where he got visions of the book, as well as some of the murders... but this can also be seen as being 'touched in the head', and that most people think that he is just a practitioner of evil magic that raises the dead.
Like he had gotten the visions for the entire time period of the murders, and was doing private research to interpret the visions. Horace then told Elistra of the visions when she asked why he was studying so much rather than doing his normal charity and grocery routines.
NOTE: That entire post was a test to see how far a Diviner's "godly assistance" can go.
-
Ah. I was just sort of stumped. It does beg the question though: How far CAN they go without breaking Willing Suspension of Disbelief?
In my personal experience, I've only ever seen Diviners that can summon creatures and entities from other planes to protect and fight. That's why I was so at a loss. I'd like to see what you do with the role. :)
-
Ah. I was just sort of stumped. It does beg the question though: How far CAN they go without breaking Willing Suspension of Disbelief?
I believe this is what he must adhere to:
- He cannot perform miracles for the sake of ease.
- No theft for any reason, even if it will save the lives of others.
- Must offer mercy to any enemy asking for it, even if they intend to kill him later.
Breaking any of these will result in a punishment that can harm him, as well as the rest of the group.
