Name: Kieran Kassel

Age:22

Personality:Cheerful and open, this warrior seems eager to keep others around him in high spirits. It seems almost impossible to destroy his good mood or cheerful disposition. Even in the worst of times, he always seems to find a way to smile. This does not mean that he can't be serious, and even he knows when silence and seriousness is better then a smile. In combat he likes taunting his enemies and throwing out remarks in hopes the enemy will slip up in a fit of anger. With a strong determination and and a need to see evil removed from the world, Kieran does his best to make the lives of others easier...though his eyes show that he carries a terrible weight with him, something that he has done in the past.

Gender:Male.

Race: Arcanian/Dalrazunian

Looks: http://img70.exs.cx/img70/1875/kratoss1vt.png (White is good, Purple is Evil)

Powers:
Transmutation- This unique ability gives Kieran the ability to change the molecules of one object into something else, or capable of modifying that object into a different form. This powerful ability is not without its limits, however. He can only change the item in question so long as he knows what kind of material it is, and he can only affect things via touching them, spreading the said ability to a maximum of twelve feet. This ability has a wide range of capabilities, from mending/destroying items, to creation of new items, to the complete change of an objects form, so long as the proper materials are present. (think of abilities along the line of the characters from Fullmetal Alchemist)

Flight- Kierans people have almost energy like wings that can sprout from their backs and make them airborne. These wings can go through any material, so they are not hampered by clothing or armor. However, Kieran can only activate and use his wings for a short time, three times a day after which he can't activate them again for a full day. (Max limit is fifteen seconds he can stay airborne per use.)


Shadow Energy Control- A 'gift' left when his powers were sealed, Kierans abilities to call upon what he called 'Light Energy' has been drastically altered.. These powers make use of dark energies, known as 'Shadow Energy', a polar opposite in the powers Kieran once used in his own world. These powers can cause the one using them to be corrupted by evil. However, used in moderation, the powers corruption can be controlled. Also, if one doesn't use the shadow powers for an extended period of time, the corruption begins to fade from the user. Because his powers have been greatly weakened, he can only use the shadow power in two forms.

*Shadow Blast- A basic range attack, Kieran concentrates the Shadow Energy into a ball like form which is then fired as a straight line beam. Because his powers have been sealed, this attack is only powerful enough to defeat common, low level foes at the moment. However, he can concentrate the energy to fire a more powerful and lethal blast, or he can fire a total of five small beams in front of him. This ability causes little corruption. (One corruption point per blast, five for special attacks.)

*Shadow Shield- Calling upon the shadow energy for protection, this ability creates a 360* energy barrier of darkness that protects the wielder from outside attacks. This barrier can extend to six feet and protect others from attack as well. In its current state the user can't move or see outside the shield. This ability causes high corruption. (Ten points per post)

Corruption Points- These points keep track of the corruption level of Kieran. The more he has, the more his personality begins to shift to that of a dark version of the warrior, going from someone who likes helping others to being one who likes bringing pain and misery through deceit, lies, and other shadowy deeds. When the corruption points reach full, Kieran becomes truly evil, doing everything in his power to hurt others in any way possible, especially those he feels close to or is obligated to protect. In a sense, evil Kieran tries to 'undo' what the good Kieran has accomplished. These points are gained each time Kieran uses one of his shadow abilities, and they only disappear at certain intervals depending on how many points he has gained.

Corruption 1-20: One point disappears every hour.

Corruption 21-49: Five points disappear a day, and continues doing so until they reach zero.

Corruption 50-71: Ten points disappear a week, and follows this until they reach zero.

Corruption 71-99: Twenty points disappear a month.

Corruption 100: These points will not go down until he is redeemed by someone who wishes to save him.

Current Corruption- 0/100

Spirit of Latina- When Priestess Latinas soul entered Kieran, it gave him some of her abilities and powers as a priestess of light. For now he has access to only basic abilities but as time moves on he can become more powerful. However, if his corruption points reach above thirty five, he can't use any of these powers.

*Cure Poison/Disease- One of the most basic healing abilities, as the name suggests, Kieran can remove low level poisons and diseases from someones body, and can slow stronger poisons and diseases, giving the affected more time for an antidote to be found.

*Mend Wounds- Another basic ability, this healing spell can heal minor wounds from the body, such as cuts, scrapes, and bruises. However, against more serious wounds, this ability can only partially heal the target until proper medical attention can be found.




Weapons

Lightning Blade- This large Flachion blade is shaped and colored similar to that of a lightning bolt. As its name and appearance suggests, this blade is capable of unleashing bolts of lightning against attackers that can reach to a forty foot range. Also the blade unleashes electric shocks when ever it strikes any kind of target. Whether the target is affected by the lightning shocks is another story altogether. The blade can also be used to absorb lightning and lightning based attacks to increase its own power for short periods of time. The lightning blade can only fire three lightning bolts a day, unless recharged.

Shield of the Flame- This medium sized shield is shaped similar to a roaring flame, and has an ability attached to its name. Besides being able to thwart most fire based attacks via absorption, the shield can momentarily create a wall of flames around the user, which can block most basic forms of attack. Also he can use the shield to shoot small fire balls as a ranged attack. He can only fire three fireballs a day, unless recharged.



History:
Kieran Kassel is unique in the world because he is not from this world. His history begins on the massive world of Arcania, on the continent island of Dalzaru. Dalzarunians were well known for their affinity with unique magical abilities that made them different from others in the world. Instead of being spell casters like mages, shamans, necromancers, summoners, enchanters, or warlocks, they had abilities to use magical abilities through combat, which earned them the title of 'Spellsword', magical warriors who knew the art of the sword and magic. Kieran was unique among his people because he gained two special abilities, instead of one like most of his people. His gifted power, the art of transmutation, allowed him to change and reconstruct objects to his need, which often gave him an advantage in battle. A second ability was gifted to him when he helped heroes of that world reach one of the legendary Elemental Stones of power. On his continent, it was the Stone of Light, and since he was the chosen of Light on his world, he was blessed to use the powers of light. He traveled with the heroes of his world as they sought to defeat a dark evil that had risen from the planets depths. Near the final stages of the massive, all out war that had eventually broke out on the planet, Kieran and his party was faced against an almost unbeatable demonic creature from the dark depths which none of their weapons or abilities had any effect on. In a last, desperate measure, Kieran threw all of his energy into a mass transmutation spell against their demonic foe. Understanding what the creatures armor was made of, and the fact that the demon used its armor as a type of outlet for his attacks, Kieran was able to transform the creatures entire armor structure that caused the demons own impressive power to fire back on itself. Never using such a powerful transmutation in a large area, Kieran disappeared from the world as the demon was destroyed. It was believed that he had died.

On the contrary, during the reign of the evil king Dark King Celeron, four years before his defeat, the dark king commanded that one of his sorceresses, Malati Sydro, to summon a powerful entity to assist his evil rule and to stamp out all resistance. This sorceresses was partially successful in opening a new summoning gateway that was suppose to bring a demon of great and terrible power through. Instead, due to the unique energies that Kierans transmutation abilities gave acted as a beacon for the summoning spell, and a one in a million chance occurred that instead of a entity of destruction being summoned, Kieran was summoned instead, effectively saving him from what should have been his death. Realizing fairly quickly that he was in a place of evil, and the fact that those who summoned him attacked him after realizing Kieran would not help the Dark King, quickly took the path of the sword and began battling the dark sorceresses and her followers inside the temple. It was a hard fought battle, but Kieran eventually prevailed against the dark casters, but not before Malati cast a spell of sealing upon the spellwarrior, which effectively cut him off from his powers and abilities, bringing his power level down to what it first had when he first meet the heroes of Arcania. Worst of all that his powers of light had also been corrupted by the same sorceresses, causing the energies now to be powers of shadow instead of light.

During his counterattack against the temple occupants, a resistance force lead by a priestess named Latina Kaltana pierced through the temples outer defenses after they received word via a spy that had infiltrated the enemy ranks of the attempted summoning. The resistance force attacked the temple in hopes of stopping the creature from exiting and wreaking havoc on the world. When they found the sorceresses in question, they arrived in time to see Kieran land a death blow just as his powers were sealed. Securing the temple for themselves as a temporary base of operations, the head priestess took time to care for the warrior who had bravely fought through Malati's defenses. When he finally came too, Kieran discovered that much of his original power was sealed away, making him only about as powerful as some of the best in the resistance group. Hearing the stories of the Dark King and his tyrannical rule, Kieran quickly agreed to help bring the evil ruler down.

As the resistance began to move closer and closer to the Dark Kings castle, Kieran and Latina began to form a relationship with one another as they fought battle after battle against the forces of darkness. However, the further they pressed on, the more Kieran began to change. He had grown accustomed to using his light powers, and felt little difference when using his new shadow powers. Despite the warnings, he used these abilities which began to slowly twist his soul into a dark version of himself. The resistance found themselves starting to loose ground as the Dark Kings forces began to seem to anticipate their every move. It was all to late that they discovered that it was Kieran who leaked the information. Shadow Kieran wished to defeat the Dark King as well, but for the sake of ruling in the Dark Kings stead. But if the resistance was the one who destroyed him in the end, then even with all of his power Kieran would have been unable to defeat the resistance alone, nor would he have had troops that he could lead through power and fear alone. By this time his powers were almost fully restored, and between him and the Dark Kings forces, the resistance took terrible losses. In the end, it was the priestess Latina who was able to get close enough to Kieran to cast yet another seal upon him, though not before delivering a fatal blow to the young woman. As their powers struck one another, Kieran was enveloped by some kind of energy like crystal made of pure light before vanishing from the scene, along with Latina.

So strong were the feelings Latina had for Kieran that her soul energy was transferred to Kierans body to help fight off the corruption that now plagued his mind and spirit. For nearly three years he was held in suspended animation in a remote forested area as the corruption slowly left his body and his mind returned to the being he once was. Finally, when the corruption had been cleared, the crystal that had enveloped his body finally disappeared. With knowledge of what he had done to those he had considered his friends, the spellwarrior set off on a new adventure, an adventure of redemption. His first and foremost goal would be to undo the damage he had caused by helping as many innocents as he could so long as he still lived. Kieran also sought a way to reverse the dark curse upon him so his powers would once again become the power of light, and finally he sought for a means of possibly returning to his own time-line.

Your character design is very well done, but I'm still thinking of how you blend in, along with how sword/magic ties in with space.

Think of pathways that are opened magically, or in a sense, the very spirits and summons that you use in spells. These mystical creatures come from somewhere, and the spells that you have learned brings them from their plane of existence to our own, only with us in control, or at least in agreement with the said summonies. Perhaps these elementals and spirits are connected in your world through another, yet unseen world, such as a parallel dimension, where elementals and spirits run free in a world that has never been affected by human presence, or otherwise, as is seen in Warcraft with the main world, Azeroth, and the Emerald Dream.

In the same instance, it has been seen in many animes and movies alike where either a scientific or magical means can open a gateway to another world and drag things to the world in which the portal was first opened. The same can be seen in my characters instance, which could easily explain his arrival. The demon that the heroes from his world were fighting ended up being the target of the summoners in question, but due to the magical energies Kieran unleashed that occurred at the time of the summoning, he was dragged through the summoning gateway instead or possibly along with the demon in question.

As for how he fits in, it isn't much different from how one would fit in at a different city or town. Certainly customs might be different, clothing, language, way of doing things, fighting styles, magic abilities, so on and so forth between the two, but I have a hunch that their isn't much of a difference in how he can work with others. Based on what I have managed to come up with from the rp, the main characters are human or human based, and each have a variety of magical powers and abilities that others may simply not have access to, or have a variation of the ability. Since he looks very human himself, he could easily fit in on that account. As for possible language problems, I could edit it some so he has a crystal or some sort of other item that allows him to understand and speak languages he would otherwise not know. As for his magic, would fall under the same guide lines of how it works in the world. His transmutation ability could be seen as using a mix of earth type magic, only instead of summoning an ally or spirit, he changes the environment around him. His sword and shield could be seen as special weapons or items created from the fire village/temple, and his wings could be seen as a new ability from the wind village. As seen in any good show with magic, there is a high chance that magical casters will take the basics of what they are taught and then find a way to bend them to their own personal liking.

As for how he eventually ends up in the floating city...an interesting question. Based on the fact that there are floating cities in your rp, I (think) I can assume that there are ways to reach these cities from ground level (If I've read the site right, there were only three floating cities currently known, which two have been downed already, while the rest of the areas are on the planets surface). Some ways could include magical portals, flying mounts, airships, magical lifts, or some other method which he could find himself on a floating city. (Or are these floating cities actually large islands of sorts that hold multiple areas? I'm not terribly certain at the moment.) What I'd probably end up doing is having a side story first so he can gain a few levels (At least be level five) which revolves around him emerging from the crystal of light, finding a place to recover as he learned what he can and can't do, learn what has happened in the last few years while he has been out of it, and finally seeking a way to possibly meet these heroes to complete some of his objectives, and how he goes about it. That way, when he encounters the rest of you, he is at least a little above common soldier level (Cause personally, I can't really see a level one mook being able to help out a bunch of level fifteen people much. Then again, I really don't know how the level system works here, like how powerful each level is in comparison to others of near/equal/lower level. For example, can a level fifteen battle a level thirty and have some chance of survival? Or are they doomed to be a punching doll? Is your average level one person the simple commoner while your every day soldiers and thugs about level two to five?) But we'll touch on that later...

I created this character the way I did because I could not find much in the way of information that would help lead me to creating a character from the world that you have come up with. There are little to no listings anywhere that could hint on what each major area is like. For example, there is no listing anywhere from any of the major areas what the area is like now in the way of people, customs, laws, etc. Theres no real listing of how well other villages and towns get along with each other, a basic history of each area, or what each area is generally like. Also I have little to no idea how humans get along with other humanoid type creatures. While most of the characters are human, one of you is a Neko (cat person). Do neko and other humanoid type creatures live side by side with humans in each area? Are there some areas that reject/mistreat half-humans? Are there areas where only half-humans live? There are many questions I could not find suitable answers for, so hence the character presented. Given time, these questions can be answered for future players that will eventually come to this place and enjoy a quality role-playing game as the story and the world pans out, and more areas become available. But for now, I have only one, simple question I would like to ask...


Is my character approved? xP

...Dang, Sakura was right about your RP credibility, awesome explanation. I can consider you approved. It that alright with the rest of the mods?

The explanation of how the floating cities are reached will have to be left open for interpretation. Since majority of the people who lived or are living in the floating cities are supposed to have a decent amount of magical power. So, maybe they used magic. In any case, previous statement. I'd say approved.

I think we just need one more approval, but I cna already tell you're all set.

Have fun Rping.
