Legend of Legaia RP


Just something that's been in my mind a while, for a lesser known but wonderful rpg that was back on the PSX called, Legend of Legaia. I don't know how many people have played it or not, but I think with the storyline, the way it involves monster companions which are a stable here at The Flux, as well as some darker elements might be appealing. I'm pasting in the opening blurb from the actual source since I think it defines it best, but I would be willing to host an RP around this universe. Frankly, instead of having more cuddly beasts but instead more alien, metallic, even armor-like pets with sentience could make for an interesting ride... I'd take some liberties with the locations to allow diversification of the cast but, without further adieu, the premise behind the series, taken from the opening of the game itself.


----

In the beginning, God created the skies and the earth and seas. To rule over this world, God created humankind in his own image. Though endowed with God's own spirit, humans were impulsive and physically weaker than the wild beasts of the world. Humanity reached a point where it was on the verge of extinction.

To aid his human children, God gifted them with the mystical Seru. The Seru were creatures with varying appearances who seemed to be made of some jewel like substance. When a human touched a Seru, the Seru and the human merged. The human then gained extraordinary powers, such as extreme strength, magical powers, or even the ability to fly. Humanity broke from its wild origins and founded a civilization where humans and Seru lived in close harmony.

However, one dark day, a mysterious Mist appeared as if from nowhere. When the Mist touched a Seru, the Seru was driven insane and began to attack all within reach. A human wearing a Seru inside of the Mist was transformed into a crazed and bloodthirsty monster. The Mist quickly spread from its origins to cover the entire planet. Human civilization collapsed almost instantly, and only a few isolated pockets of humanity survived the Mist.

-----

We would be playing one of those pockets of survivors. There will be others, in fact some characters may have carefully traveled from one safe haven to another. But only with the presence of a Ra-seru, something strong enough to withstand the mist and help purge it's presence. Even then, no one can stay very long outside the walls of safe zones... unless certain things are awakened. Namely, the dormant genesis trees, just as old as the Seru themselves and left behind as a legacy of the gods. Except their true purposes were forgotten long ago in the advent of progress.




Warriors bearing the Ra-seru parasites, gained from awakening these trees, from inheritance, from the outright subjugation of other seru as nourishment are the future of such a world, and the only way to not only drive back the mists, but to realize what created them in the first place.


Notes:

Ra-seru are elemental based and the following are the elements included; Light, Dark, Fire, Earth, Water, Wind, Thunder, Evil, Void. As they grow stronger they physically take up more of their host's body in the form of weapons, armor, wings, whatever the true shape of such a creature is.

Looked up Legaia and scoured the internet a bit for it. Looking at the idea itself along with the game in question, I think it's safe to say i'm highly interested in this idea and will definitely join. o_o

Human civilization collapsed almost instantly, and only a few isolated pockets of humanity survived the Mist, the rest trapped between life and death in an eternal nightmare.



Plot

In a world dwelling in such nightmarish circumstances, the source of the mist catastrophe is unknown, only that it came down like a cascade from the northern-most continent to infect the entire world, seemingly over days. There was little warning as city after city fell under it's power, those able to protect themselves few and far between. Frozen in ice, or held aloft by might towers, the last vestiges of the human race that remain free are struggling to make due, unable to fight off the threat from the mist around them.

But there are those who have been chosen, whether by thrift or fate to challenge this world. The last gift of Tieg to his children being beings known as Ra-Seru, and the mystical Genesis trees. If one were to wield a Ra-Seru they would be impervious to the effects of mist induced madness, able to travel through without fear of succumbing. However most people are now afraid of Seru and would be wary of such individuals, or perhaps be so indifferent to their plight they no longer care.

These sentient caretakers and their hosts are the last line of defense in waking up the world from it's nightmare. Gathered from all over the four continents they have been drawn to the fortress town of Rim Elm for reasons unknown to them, but perhaps their parasitic companions know...

It's been fifteen years since the mists came. It's time to start waking up the world again...



Rules


1. This is my first time as a GM in a long time so bare with my inadequacies there. I do hope to give equal time to players and tailor plots that make things more memorable for everyone. This story is about every one of the survivors that chooses to follow the path of a reluctant or more willing hero for the world of Legaia.

2. There are elements, but there are not yet limits on Ra-Seru... I'd like to fill the main list but if you want wind and someone else has wind? That isn't impossible. There is no monopoly on wind powers. Just that maybe there could be some variation between the two to help differentiate. Ie. Water could be floods yet also ice.

3. Character limit would be two for now unless you'd like to play someone villainous as well. There is plenty of room for villainy, please discuss with me if you're interested in thwarting, being generally annoying and or badass.

4. The world is divided into four continents, I will make up a map and not everyone has to start off in so called 'beginner' areas, though I can certainly help if you'd like to be from somewhere further out in the journey we'll take.

5. There will be fighting! And there will be decisions to make in regards to whether or not you will kill, or try to preserve an enemy. The outcomes may affect you later in the course of the rp...

6. Though there is the possibility of playing a demi-human/beast type if you truly desire to, I would like reasoning behind that if it's your choice as it's easier to deal with humans for now.

7. Don't be a stranger, if you have an idea, I'd love to hear it!


The World of Legaia

The world of Legaia is divided into four continents or Kingdoms. Where you decide your character to be from will determine a bit of their outlook, views on technology and history as certain areas fell first to the mists before they traveled further south.

For now these are the locations your characters can be from, unless you would prefer playing someone who escaped one of the fallen cities, which can be arranged.

KINGDOMS OF LEGAIA: DRAKE

KINGDOMS OF LEGAIA: SEBUCUS ISLANDS

KINGDOMS OF LEGAIA: KARISTO

KINGDOMS OF LEGAIA: CONKRAM


Your allies, enemies and all things utilitarian.

THE WORLD OF LEGAIA: SERU


How your character acquired their Ra-Seru

For purposes of this RP, your options are the following:

1. Acquisition of an Egg, whether obtained as an artifact (not knowing what it is), a family heirloom or having stolen it.
2. Being called to a Genesis tree by the Ra-Seru in question, having it learn your heart and mind and seeking an allegiance.
3. Somehow freeing one from a less savory source.


The Roster

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.

Code:
 
[b]Name:[/b] (self-explanatory)
[b]Age:[/b] (The Mist has been around for -15- years)
[b]Gender:[/b] (Should be easy enough to check)
[b]Race:[/b] (Human for now...)
[b]Appearance:[/b] (How we look, of course! Pictures welcome, I may draw you)
[b]Personality:[/b] (How you are at the start, mostly. Keep in mind this isn't static, and may very well be changed by the game.)
[b]Miscellanous:[/b] (if your character has any possessions you may list them here.)
[b]Weapon:[/b] (What does your character normally fight with?)
[b]Fighting style:[/b] (Disciplined militant? Street brawler? Martial arts or even more of a magic user?)


[b]Ra-Seru:[/b] (Your friend in the post apocalyptic age.)
[b]Personality:[/b] (Maternal? Egotistical? Do they plan carefully or simply want to rush? Most Ra-Seru have a bit of logic in their... equivalent of heads.)
[b]Weapon Form:[/b] (Most start as a form of gauntlet, their baby legs curling around wrists and arms. But you can have them on other parts of the body as well. Ie. A Choker that ends up splitting into a pair of wings down your back.)
[b]Element:[/b] (The elemental attribute of your Ra-Seru)
[b]Seru:[/b] (For now leave this blank, but it will contain whatever Seru you happen to absorb)
[list]
[*][Name] ([Skills that would fit the element of your Ra-Seru, ie, Wind or Sonic attacks for a Wind attribute.])
[/list]

This looks really awesome! ^^ But I'm not sure if I have time to join in until after my exams (beginning of June). Would it be okay if I hopped on board ~4 weeks later?

I'm also fairly interested. And like Shiny, my exams ends in June. But I've got a week or so before my last 3 papers in June, I'll be posting up my profile by then--or probably this Friday. If that's okay with you..? (:

That's perfectly fine. I already have some plans for letting a later group into the rp should there be a desire for that.
