The book of the Unwithered (OOC)

Arvis is a world filled with many mystical creatures, ranging from the very deserts of Vona, to the icy plains of Tirh. The world is parted into two clans, the Raghnall, the major races being Elves, Dwarves, Dragoni and Humans, and the Vatusia, the major races here being Orcs, black Elves and Demons.

For many centuries the two clans had been at war with one another, not even wishing to find the faintest glimmer of peace. The imperial army is the major protection of the Raghnall clan; they have two lines of fighters:

Firstly the Brutes, mostly warriors, berserkers, paladins and fighters
Secondly the Stalkers, mostly hunters, rogues, night runners and assassins

There are five continents, the endless desert Vona, the land of green fields Ehelar, the changing range of Rheknar ‘Hel, the black desert Lekardiar, and the icy plains of Tirh.

While Lekardiar is fully populated by the Vatusia clan, Ehelar is fully populated by the Raghnall clan, the other continents are mostly neutral, or are split.

There will be two spots I need filled, and those are:

Hayyels bodyguard (later her lover): taken

Hayyels best friend (who will also join as a guard): taken

Other than that you can play about anyone you like.

Rules:


  • Stick to the basic rules, of course!
    Romance is welcome, since there is supposed to be a romance between the two major characters anyway, just don’t overdo it.
    Don’t give your character any major godly powers.
    Think fantasy world, lord of the ringish!
    You may swear, just don’t overdo it!
    Don’t make up anything about the story just yet!
    No speed posting! I don’t always have time.
    Be original, I encourage creativity!
    I encourage you to play characters from both good and bad side.
    Just plain, have fun :D


Post your character sheet here, just follow my example.

My charr:

Name: Hayyel Moonbringer

Clan: Raghnall

Race: Elf

Age: 218

Position: Newly joined stalker in the imperial army, night runner

Personality: Hayyel is a very quick witted and adventurous persona, she loves nature and exploring. You could hear the famous words “I laugh in the face of danger.” coming out of her mouth. Being very agile and a quick learner, she does have very good qualities to become one of the head stalkers in the imperial army.

She doesn’t like to be pushed around or bullied, always standing up for the weaker and knowing when to stand back. Her need for adventure can get her into trouble easily. Other than that she is mostly kind and very energetic.

Weapons: fights with two daggers

Magic: possesses some healing and nature magic

Bio: ((Look at IC))

Appearance: Hayyel /Her Armor

Heya, nice RP idea, here is my charrie:

Name: Caspian Livida

Age: 39

Race: Human

Clan: Raghnall

Position: Personal Shadow Agent of the Dragoni King, newly-appointed bodyguard to Hayyel.

Appearance & personality: Caspian is a weedy man, standing high at 5'9" with a slim thin build. His sharp face matches his cutting tongue and bitter attitude, and his eyes, well, his good one anyway, show a deep resentment to most things in their dark green recesses. Still, despite being an annoying man at times, Caspian's knowledge and talents have kept him in the Dragoni King's esteem, and he is his top agent.

Dark lanky hair, falls to his shoulder-blades, done up in a messy ponytail and out of his face, and he regularly shaves to avoid a stubble. Over his right eye is a pure black leather eye-patch, with a magical property most useful to his job. The man usually wears a light-fabric black shirt, ending with long leather vambraces on his forearms, both sheathing slim daggers.

Over this, he'll wear a thin dark leather cuirass, falling to just below his waist. This armour is covered in scrapes and cuts, and the lower part of it is padded with an extra layer of square leather pieces, allowing an ease of movement.

Around his waist is a black silk sash, embroidered and enchanted. It grants him the ability to track down men, by simply sniffing it whilst willing to find the prey. He's tried it on other beings, and it doesn't work. This strange article of clothing was bestowed to him by his late, slightly crazed master, who taught him all the tricks of the trade. Over this, he wears a thick utility belt holding various pouches, all full of knick-knacks, an ornate sheath for another dagger, and a few vials of various potions and poisons.

Caspian's trousers are of a dark brown leather, tucked into padded boots at his feet. These black boots are lined with velvet, and small insoles of leather make the boots fit his feet perfectly, thus making no sound when he treads. On these are sheaths for yet two more stilettos.

Over all this, the agent wears a loose and open robe, made of a reasonably thick material, and lined with gold trimming. It is ample enough to allow him ease of movement, yet also hides his equipment well.

Posted Image

Weapon(s): Caspian keeps two slim daggers tucked into his leather vambraces, two stilettos tucked into his padded boots, and a larger dagger sheathed on his belt. However, perhaps the man's most lethal weapon, is stealth. He can blend into shadows, walk without a sound, and slice a man’s thraot without him even noticing.

He also possesses a few magical abilities, just as lethal as his worldly weapons. These include the ability to change into a black cat, the various enchanted pieces of equipment he has, like his eye-patch being able to revert his vision to see souls, as wisps of green vapour in a shadowy black landscape, and some elemental damaging spells.

Bio: Born in the slums of a large city, Caspian's mother died in childbirth, and he was left alone with his no-good father to live. His dad often lost money gambling, and while not the worst of chaps, he wasn't the best either. One day, when Caspian was eight of age, his father was visited by a hitman, here to demand the man's debts, or his blood. Naturally, it ended in manslaughter.

Left to fend for himself on the streets, Livida joined a group of similar street urchins, and learned the tricks of the thief, and the pick-pocket. When they came of age, those remarkable enough to survive were brought to the Guild of Thieves, and association of criminals ranging from assassins to illegal alchemists.

There, Caspian was appointed a master and followed a rigorous training to reinforce his mind and his body. Excelling, the boy soon got the attention of those higher-up, and was entrusted with some of the more, daring, missions. Again, succeeding, the boy quickly climbed the ranks of the Guild.

This higher part of the association is directly linked to the local government, and when the Dragoni King asked for a special agent to replace his late one, Caspian was sent to him. Completing the King's decisions, Livida soon found his true calling, working like this and amassing a reputation and wealth not easily achievable by other means. It was during one of these missions that he lost his right eye. The contents of the missions themselves are known only to him and his boss.

Now appointed for whatever reason to be this Hayyel's bodyguard, Caspian will have to protect her for whatever quest she has to embark upon. But in his words to the King: "Why me when I can barely swing a sword ?"

--------------------

Hope he's okay. Being the man he is, he'll rely more on ruse than muscle-power. If you don't feel he’s adequate as a bodyguard, I can make him just another guy in the quest, if you so wish. Let's hope you get more people !

I'll join as Hayyels best friend and someone from the dark side ok? I'll post my character in a second. You have a really nice Rp idea here by the way! :)

Edit:

Name: Narsis (Called Phoenix around others) Livanda

Clan: Raghnall

Race: Elf

Age: 321 (Early 30's in human years, human years are used in Bio)

Position: A Paladin, Greatly known for her skill and even her stealth.

Personality: Narsis or, Phoenix, is calm yet rough. She respects those greater than her though those are few with just greatens her respect towards them. In battle she is a different person, if she is in a big battle with someone at her own level Narsis tends to talk back to the person, intimidate them to get their rage up.

Off of the battle field, she is nice and talks a lot. She knows her place so she is not known to get in trouble with higher ups, like others. Narsis is also respectful to new recruits, teaching some certain things.

Weapons and Magic abilities: Judging by her nickname you may already know of her powers. Narsis is known as the Phoenix because she is able to control fire. This is her only magic ability and she uses it responsibly. She has a weapon, again others have came up with their own name therefore it's known as plainly, the Flame Sword. Narsis calls it the Fairu's Flame. The sword is a real sword, blade and all but willingly she sets it on fire, extreme heat that many people cannot bare. Fairu's Flame and just her magical ability is her weapon also her lack of armor is a weakness and an enhancement seeing as it makes her light weight and is a problem as she can be taken down easier.

Bio: Fairu and Alzuan Livanda were Narsis's mother and father. They had barely any money and could not afford a child. Fairu refused to allow the child to be given away or be killed even though Alzuan knew their daughter would suffer if they did not. Seeing as he loved his wife and he understood how she felt, he did not push her to give their daughter away.

Narsis Livanda grew up in starvation, the fact she survived was amazing. It was her parents that allowed this as Alzuan and Fairu gave her most of their food, water, and other things. At the early age of eight her mother died leaving the young child and her husband on their own.

They were never the same and Narsis always got the feeling her father was going to give up, feel no reason to live anymore. She would cry and beg him for things, important things as to give him a reason to go on. Alzuan could not live like this anymore, he couldn't allow himself to see his wife and daughter die so, trying to forget Fairu's wish, and he sent her to live with a blacksmith. Narsis still does not know what came of her father.

After this day, she was only eleven then, she worked hard and still lived in bad conditions. This part of the world was under war and her new family decided to live closer to the main land which helped them greatly.

Once she grew older (Slower than humans seeing as elves grow slower) Narsis discovered the sword, though she was never skilled in it. Unlike others, she was not naturally gifted; her family wished she would not pick up this art as the girl was not built for it. She did it against their will and after years and years of hard training she finally became skilled with the sword.

Later on she discovered she could not be burned and she could control the flames. This she was skilled in and when someone saw her skill they naturally went to the elders to tell them. One woman with the name of Hayyel was the first woman to join the army. Sure, it was a different type, not a Brute but as a Stalker. After this other women were recognized though many people did not except this.

Narsis took different challenges, although she still had to fight the strongest man, and was able to complete them just as well, if not better, than most of the men. The Phoenix became her name around the other men, a title she accepted and smiled every time she heard it. She was one of the highest ranks and if she isn't on a mission she may be training as in her mind there is always room for improvement.

________

I hope this is acceptable and seeing as you would like people to create one on each side I shall create one on the bad side. If you would like me to edit things then I'll edit them as soon as I can. If you do not like it I understand.

I have a question, what does she actually look like ? I guess being elven she'll be fairly pretty, but apart from not wearing any armor, I can't picture her, which is a bit of a bummer. Give me the looks, babe ! lol.

The dragoni race can be both full and part dragon, depending on their history, meaning, that they aren't as large as pure dragons, more humanoid though, they can be partly human, or full dragon.

And I think it's great that you guys like the thread, this is actually a book I am working on, thought it would be a good thread idea :D

My character was accepted I see, thank you. :) Should I post in the IC?

Oh, you're making it into a book? Very nice, I'm sure it will come out good.

Anyways, to answer your question Selothi Demnevi, the character was actually inspired by a picture though she was human I felt it would be more likely for her powers if she was elfin. I could explain how she looks, easier to change things that way, or I can go find the picture. Either one works for me.

Ok, I thought you might want to be called with your full name so I didn't want to take any chances. I'll be showing you what she looks like in my posts, that's how we should do it no? If you want me to give fuller detail after a few posts then just ask me but other than that, I'll be explaining in posts! On to the IC!

Edit: Question! Is Narsis and Hayyel best friends yet or do they not even know eachother yet? Is Narsis going to be her guard first and then they become best friends? Just wondering, it would help in my posting.

Here is a Map

Every place the story had talked about is on there, it's so that you have a better picture of where we've been, and where we're going.

And secondly, make sure you know nothing about the "flame of eternity" nor the "unwithered army", it should seem like forbidden tales, never to be told again, that kind of thing.
