Alright first RP. Where to start? Deep breath...
Okay. Story first:
Year: 1503
City: Fernar, a fairly large city. Devided into factions.
There are many Gods that rule the land, each possesing its own power. Everybody in the city believe in/support one or another. Some are lucky enough to have been recieved their respective gods blessing and gain magic powers corresponding with their god, others strive to be blessed, others just don't care. All have one thing in common: to end the war between the gods. It has been going on for hundreds of years, turning Fernar into a very dangerous place to live. Supporters of the various gods fighting against each other. All except for the Marlag. They try to keep this war under control as best they can. They break up battles and are hated by all the other factions.
Races:
Humans:
Humans are equally rounded in all fields. They live to be about 80. They can believe in any diety except for Tramph and Kel Nu'ur.
Elves:
Elves specialize at magic and ranged combat. Live to be about 750. They are more likely to be blessed than any other race. Believe in: Rowt, Meri'ik, Gla'en, Kel Nu'ur.
Gorbinwitz:
Gorbonwitz were my own idea. They live to be about 20 years old and 5 feet tall. They posses the ear, feet and tail of a gerbil (yes, really). They are very rarely blessed and frowned upon by elves and humans. They look like animals and are often treated as such. Most end up thieves. Believe in: Arnahk, Enrit, Tramph, Aetherion.

Diety: Arnahk
Sex: Male
Race: Gorbinwitz
Magic Power: none

Blessed?: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA no.
History: A young master theif who has less intrest in little things like pick-pocketing people (which is not to say he dosn't do it) but more intrest in elaborate heists for big payoffs. Cares little for the gods and thinks the fighting is pointless. Secretly wishs the Marlag would give the factions a swift kick in the butt. does not vocalize this point of view often.
Class: Thief

Why miss the chance of missing something good? Expand your maximum rps by one.
Although this would ruin the concept of a maximum.

EDIT: Stover, there is no such thing as "luck". There is only chaos.
I got your chaos right here, bitch.
Really, I do. I'm holding it right here. Its in my hand. See? I, for one, find the fact that chaos chose to be a sphere quite ironic...
...BALL OF CHAOS IN YOUR EYE!
Anyway, here goes:
Name: Jason
Diety: None
Race: Human male
Magic power: Does enchanted equipment count?
Weapons: Rapier, short sword, big knife, small knife. Krives disappear and return after being thrown.
Age: 29
Blessed: No
History: Jason knows the gods exist, he just chooses not to worship them. Instead, he relies on himself. He's been traveling the world for the past 12 years, so in his travelworn backpack, he'll probably have whatever you need.
Class: * (except mage/priest)

Oh why must it be played in 1503? Such a boring era. Why not for instance 1743. And besides that, is it based on our worlds 16 century or a fantasy world 16. century.
Name: Melandie Bell
Deity: Rowt
Sex: Female
Race: Elf
Magic Power: Can control flow of time around her casually, but usually doesn't use her powers much. They wear her out and thus she uses them in extreme cases for instance when she starts pouring boiling water on herself.
Weapon: (if I may) cooking utensils including bread knifes, pans and pots.
Age: 178
Blessed: yes
History: Born in 1325 to an ordinary family of Eleven merchants, who lived in the city of Fernar. She enjoyed a nice childhood, but never made more then few friends at a time. At 1340 she got herself the unusual luck of being able to learn art. She used it and studied art until 1384, when she decided to get herself a house and start living alone. Her portraits were one of the best of her era, since elves rarely deal with art and she had studied it for 44 years. She sold portraits and lived a fairly easy life. In 1426 3rd of May she suddenly started thinking on divinities and eventually took to believing Rowt. From that day on she thought about religion (not actually praying, but believing) everyday and on the 26 of August 1432 she noticed she could control time. (It happened when she was carrying a pot of boiling water across the hall and tripped. She slowed time and could catch the pot before it fell.) Her belief is not too strong but has been constant. In 1478 she even painted a picture to the temple of Rowt which was praised by all visitors. But since then nothing special has happened to her. Except beginning to write a book on religion she has lived quite a ordinary life. She
Class: citizen with few magical powers.

Thats why I asked what century we are dealing in. I'm going to post a picture.
Here it is http://www.deviantart.com/view/8102680/
There is also a side wiev of her (badly drawn) here http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/8102816/
Please comment.
Besides what is seen from the pictures she is about 5'6'' weighs 145 lbs.
As I think personality should also be added here it is
Personality: As she hasen't had a lot to worry about, she has grown self centered and selfish. And jet she cares a little about others also. She generally acts friendly and never worries about money.

This sounds like a good RP. Count me in.
Name: David Wolfram
Diety: Arnahk
Sex: Male
Race: Human
Magic Power: Air Render. With his hands David can send out a powerful blast of air that can cause severe damage as well as knock enemies down. (I know I stole it from FFTA...but I like the attack; so there.)
Weapon: Crossbow and a katana for infighting. Also not too bad fighting with his bare fists (okay...he's actually wearing gauntlets...but whatever)
Age: 25
Blessed?: Yes
Physical Description: About 5' 10". Has light chest armor and wears steel gauntlets. Wears a long black coat with gray clothing underneath. He has a medium build, blue-gray eyes, and a spiky mop of blond hair.
History: Ever since his parents were killed in a massacre in his hometown 6 years ago, David has been seeking to avenge them at every turn. To that end he had become a mercenary, fighting every single side in the long and embittered conflict. He is an accomplished sniper and swordsman. After a particularly viscious battle 2 years ago he was critically wounded and near death when he was rescued by some Arnahk priests and taken to their temple in order to recuperate. It was there that they told him of the Wolfram family history.
As it turned out, the Wolframs were a family deeply rooted in Arnahk legend. Although David didn't know it, his family had been blessed for hundreds of years by Arnahk...hence the name. They had also been ruling nobility, although David's father had rejected the lineage in an attempt to have his son grow up 'normal'. The priests told David he had to realize his destiny and fight to end the wars between the Gods and help bring peace to the land. David accepted, and now fights with a second purpose...end the conflicts.
Class: Minor Noble Mercenary with magic powers.

I have a good feeling about this RP. I hope Jaguar joins. If he takes the character I'm hoping he does Vars Kaslerr, seeing as this is sort of a sequel to Thief Guild (please?).

if you want him to join try PMing him to make sure he reads it.

Good idea. If anybody wants to learn about Kardin's past, see the two Thief Guild Threads, preferably both.

This is bound to get interresting, but I can't immagine how you are going to bring the characters together. But I have one question. Where do most of youy live and in which timezone. You see I live in GMT+2 and I rarely can stay up for longer then 3AM

I live in the eastern time zone. RP started.

You still may be an hour or so behind Froof though, For example, I live even farther east than him and we are about an hour behind... or was it half hour, I can't remember.
cruelty13
06-15-2004, 09:02 AM
So where do you live?
slightly aboveaverage man
06-15-2004, 09:06 AM
Nova Scotia.
Whoever can guess exactly where that is and what type of sea-creature it resembles gets a hug and a cookie.
cruelty13
06-15-2004, 09:18 AM
I know! It's a half island down from Prince Edwards island and left from Cape Breton Island. It resembles either a shark or a coral rift! But infact when you said eastern timezone I thought differently. I live in Estonia, one of those extremely small countries in eastern Europe. Maybe you know it. We have some famous champions in sports.
slightly aboveaverage man
06-15-2004, 09:23 AM
The correct term would be a peninsula, and Cape Breton Island is a part of Nova Scotia.
For knowing that, you get a hug.
:D :D *HUG!!!* :D :D
Now add Cape Breton to the mainland and see what animal you get.
This is for the cookie!
Edit: And I believe I do know the country... even though I don't know much. Baltic Nation, former Soviet territory, now independant and doing economically well, searching for and/or gaining membership into the EU. That sound about right?
cruelty13
06-15-2004, 09:29 AM
Exactly! It's nice to know someone knows a little of our country. But I'm not very patriotic at all. Actually I'm quite the oposite. I don't care at all!
The animal I get with Cape Breton is either a shark or a dolphin.
By the way are you Candada or an independent country?
P.S. Thanks for the hug
slightly aboveaverage man
06-15-2004, 10:03 AM
1. We should probably make a discussion thread for this RP.
2. Think "No Spine"
3. Nova Scotia is and was one of the 4 founding members of Canada... and makers of some of the best Beer commercials.
4. Your welcome.
