I assure all of you that Initus will remain a neutral territory in this great nation. All that has been happening is a slight disagreement between the Forza and the Geld. I do not speak for the Geld, but I assure you, the Forza shall not place any more troops unnecessarily in Initus," [i]lies[/i] "Furthermore! the Forza have officially taken training of local guards to the next variety by donating a great sum of funds to the guard training facilities. No longer shall there be a lack of guards when you need them, when a theif steals from you, when a foul criminal assaults you, you will be more protected than ever, thanks to the Forza!" [i]deceit[/i] "I promise you, as long as the Forza clan stands, Initus will remain neutral in our affairs with the Geld. Now please, no more questions." [i]power[/i] The man turned away from the large crowd, shouting angrily at the Forza politician he hid inside the large roman-esk building that was the Forza Initus representative house, where this specific politician would stay. He hid inside, away from the people and moved up to his room where he could relax, and enjoy his gaudy decor and overpriced cigars... He leaned back in his silk laced chair as he took a deep breath, giving off one final exhale as to relax, when he felt cold steal against his throat. He turned his head to his right, shifting his eyes to see behind him slightly, and gazed upon a figure cloaked in black, with one knife against the corrupt man's throat... [i]"Vivant revolutione..."[/i] [/spoiler] [spoiler=Plot] In the nation of Penial, there are two superior clans that control the nation, the Forza and the Geld. The Forza have their routes from another nation of Penial, Bortar, while the Geld take from Deusht. The Geld are economically and socially superior to the Forza, their people having far more trust in their leadership than the Forza's people do in theirs. However, the Forza controls more land and are more powerful. However, both clans rule what was intended to be a free nation. It was divided up between the two families during one of the great wars, and now one group of people have decided to change it, turn it back to the way it once was, a free nation. People from all races have joined up for this rebellion, now there are enough recruits to begin a strike, first, freeing the territory of Initus. Pick your race, select your abilities, choose your side, and fight for your beliefs.

[/list] [/spoiler] [spoiler=Characters] [spoiler=SilenceinDreams] [b]Username:[/b] SilenceinDreams [b]Name:[/b] Travinis Benndrathal (Born: Trevinaar Brandentheel) [b]Age:[/b] 23 [b]Nickname:[/b] The Logophile [b]Gender:[/b] Male [spoiler= Appearance:] Travinis isn’t quite fit, but he is more athletic than most others his age, his legs are definitely built. He’s not that tall, but hey, six foot isn’t bad and only 214 lbs. Travinis has natural tan looking skin, and he will always defend the fact that he never tans. He has scar indentations all over his bodie from back in his early days of robbing. When he was 16 he got tattoo of his mother’s name and the date of which she died in remembrance of her on his left forearm. When people first look at Travinis, to someone he feels like taking advantage of, they see in his face what he wants them to see, a bright young man who has a smile on his face. Yet as to those he sees as just another nobody or even a friend, he shows what he really looks like, a full face (not fat, full) shaggy hair, hazel eyes. When not in formal dress, he has his labret piercing in, even if it means he has to re-pierce it from not having it in for too long. If you saw him like this, he would be like a punk Scarface .Now Travinis isn’t exactly the person you’d expect to see walking down the streets, He’s more the person you’d expect to see with the wealthy, since he is always finely dressed, not in the best clothes, but fine enough that people often mistake him for nobility. Travinis always wears a jade encrusted silver pendant, which his mother gave to him only hours before she died. [/spoiler] [spoiler= Species:] Akrakatian (Descendant of the Arakacians through human breeding) [/spoiler] [b]Side:[/b] Neutral [spoiler= Weapon(s):] -Carries a steel rapier in a cane sheath so no one knows of it, and a pair of leather greaves in his pocket that give him a heightened ability to steal items from others(mostly NPC’s but occasionally other players). -Travinis also hides two knives about the length of his forearms beneath his pant legs. [/spoiler] [spoiler= Special Abilities:] - Can persuade people like no other - Able to steal remarkably when wearing enchanted leather greaves (given to him by uncles friend) - Can create inanimate copies of himself as to escape trouble(acquired through jade pennant) [/spoiler] [spoiler= Other information:] - He often carries a snake that he trained to sneak into certain areas in cases to infiltrate to steal certain in an arrow quiver on his back - Inherited a family curse that every Akrakatian family has from which when he fights, sometimes a spirit (which only follows one person at a time) takes control of his body and forces him to lose the fight purposely and become severely beaten. He can control it most of the time by channeling the spirit into one of his inanimate copies, but there are times when he is too late. [/spoiler] [spoiler= Personality:] Travinis is generally the kind of person who is quite until he sees someone he wishes to steal, or if he is amongst friends. He is very respectful to anyone until they disrespect him, and if you are kind and respectful to him he often doesn’t steal from you, unless for a job. He can make friends easily, which he has learned through necessity of connection for his habit of stealing for himself or a job for his boss which changes by whoever pays the most. Not many are friends with him personally only acquaintances because of the fact that he doesn’t need any. [/spoiler] [spoiler= Bio:] With not knowing his father until he was twenty two and out in the new countr , he didn’t care much about meeting him since his uncle fathered him. His uncle taught him the art of persuasion and thievery, his uncle was a master at getting whatever he wanted just by talking to someone. When Travinis was only sixteen his mother died from inheriting the family curse through marriage after fighting off some men who were attempting to steal the jade pennant from her. She was able to break free from the fight and escape to only live for several hours longer, just long enough to give her son Travinis (who at the time was still Trevinaar Brandentheel) the pennant. He later changed his name after being imprisoned for killing the three men who attacked his mother to Travinis Benndrathal and moved away from his home town with his uncle to complete his training and to learn sword fighting from his uncle friend with a rapier. But when he turned twenty-one his uncle died from a common heart disease. When he died he said that Travins was a more skilled artist at what he did than his uncle could ever be. Yet even till the day he died Travis believed he was still the master and Travinis holds his uncles standards of persuasion to a much higher state than his own. So Travinis continued on with his training until his uncles friend decided it was time for him to carry on with his life on his own, and self-train. When Travinis left for a new country he would meet his father in a stable with his “new” family, the family he left Travinis and his mother for. Travinis and his father could tell who each other where by the looks in their eyes. His father tried to explain that he thought that if he left maybe the spirit would follow him. Travinis confronted his father about how he didn’t believe him. He told his father how he was the one the spirit was following now, and he asked his father if there was any way to be rid of it, but alas the only way was to give it to another. At that point Travinis killed his father with the realization that his father purposefully gave the spirit to his mother hoping it would kill him and his mother. From then on Travinis did what he was taught to do, for jobs to whoever paid the most or if it was just something he wanted. [/spoiler][/spoiler] [spoiler=Death Label - Shinki] Username: Death Label - Shinki (Or as you refer to me... Flandre Scarlet) Name: [color=#0000CD]Neivina Neviru[/color] Age: Although she looks 12, She is at least 400 years old, if not more Nickname: She is often referred to as 'The Widow of Strings'. however, people that know her name simply refer to her as 'Vina' Gender: Female Appearance: Neivina is about 4'8' tall with somewhat flat chest and nice legs. She has White Hair, Human-like Skin, and purple eyes as well as small black wings and a long and Slender, black Spear-like Tail. She wears a White Skirt and a Tube top adorned with Black Ribbons that even connect her skirt to her Tube-top, She also has a lot of black Ribbons all around her body, Including the arms, ankles, legs, and torso. She also wears a pair of glasses to help make and repair the more Intricate Marionettes. [spoiler=Species:] Neivina is an Alice... [spoiler=What is an Alice?:] An Alice is a Subspecies of Succubi that often look like Children, regardless of how old they actually are, however, Alices tend to have a more powerful Charm effect than Inccubi and Succubi, and have more latent Mana than most races, even that of Demons, which easily allows them to use powerful Magic. The most prominent Features of an Alice is their Wings and very sharp Tail, The Latter they use to feed. Alices are a High endangered Demon Species and only a few roam the world. All Alices are female.... Alices are usually not seen living in cities, often preferring to live out in the wilderness in caves, Despite being sentient, and some prefer living alone, but All Alices call each other their 'Kin'...[/spoiler] [spoiler=What is their Diet?:]An Alice only live on their Mana, They don't need any sort of food that an average Species needs to eat. Alices use their tail to feed by Siphoning the Mana of other living beings, This Residual Mana is often self-sustaining in other creatures. Their Tails also contain a special Venom that Numbs their prey and puts them to sleep, allowing the Alice to feed off of them easily... [/spoiler] [spoiler=What is their relations with other Species?:]Alices often have Mixed feelings about other Races, Some like to coexist with other species, some are indifferent, while others have a dislike to other species and are highly aggressive. Some Species tend to treat Alices like Animals due to their Lifestyle Alice Venom is extremely valuable as it has a lot of uses, Varying from being applied to bladed weapons as a very potent poison, to Medical fields as an anesthetic, even to the Magical Field as an extremely powerful Catalyst for spells (As Alice Venom is Laced with their mana as well). However, The Alices themselves are even more valuable, especially in the Blacksmith field, as they can transfer their mana to a weapon and ignite it, Creating an Empathic weapon that is similar to a Tsukumogami. [/spoiler] [spoiler=What is their relations with the Clans/Rebellion?:]Most Alices have a hatred toward both the nations due to the fact that both Clans blatantly capture Alices, then use them as Slaves. They have Mixed feelings about the Rebellion, Some are more than happy to get back at the nations for what they did to their 'Kin', while others dislike the rebellion for various reasons... Alices have a Tendency to flee into Neutral Regions to avoid being hunted[/spoiler] [spoiler=What is their Lifespan?:]The Average Alice, provided that they die of natural causes and have plenty of mana, can live to be 1000 years old, however, the life expectancy of Alices nowadays is around 100 years, The oldest recorded Alice was 1597 years old[/spoiler] [spoiler=What is their History?:]The Alices Originally inhabited the area that is in Northern Privat and Southern Peso, including a lot of the border as a bunch of tribes, They were fine as the Humans arrived at Penial, since that meant more food for them However, As the 2 clans Started taking over that area and started enslaving Alices, They fled to different 4 Regions, Micci, Initus, Santo Marco, and Gier. The clans stepped up kidnapping Alices when they discovered many uses of their venom, however, They did not know how to actually harvest the venom without killing the Alice itself, so they left the cities for a more solitary life in the wilderness...[/spoiler] [/spoiler] Side: Neutral [spoiler=Weapon(s):] [b]Rena: [/b]A Living Control Bar that focuses in a person's Latent Mana to create Strings to attach to a puppet, The Strings can phase through anything, which allows her to control the puppet even if there are obstacles in the way. In addition, She can use the said strings to tie up anything, but can't control living humans. The Strings from this control bar actually sends slivers of mana to the puppet, where after a certain duration of using them, They can Live Temporarily. This Control Bar is White with Black Decorations and a Blue Jewel in the Middle... Rena's Human form is a little girl that is 3 feet tall with Blue eyes and normal looking skin and black hair, She wears a Blue Skirt and a white Shirt and walks in bare feet, She's able to pull huge hammers and Cleavers out of thin air, however, She only likes to use her Special Sword in fights, Which is a Sword that is Twice as long as how tall Neivina is, and still able to use it effectively, especially if Neivina uses her as a puppet. [b]Other Marionettes: [/b]In addition to her Rena's human form that she is able to use as a puppet, She has another Marionette that she is able to use which looks Similar to Rena, Except with red hair, red eyes, and a black Dress, and wields a pair of Short swords, She also is working on a 2nd extra Marionette that is huge [/spoiler] [Spoiler=Special Abilities:] -Neivina's Innate Charm is very powerful, Literally pulling the attention of Weak-willed people to her. Since this is a Pheremone-type Charm that comes from the skin, which in turn gets stronger as the she's close to the victim as well as the less clothing she wears, Which easily can allow either her or any Stronger-willed ally to ambush their Victims, This ability even affects women, causing even Faithfully straight women to fall for her. Neivina finds this ability annoying and seals this ability until she needs them by wearing Black Ribbons, Which has a compound that absorbs the Pheromones that make up the charm. -Her Mana capacity allows her to use powerful Magic, In addition, She can create Empathic weapons by transferring her Mana into a weapon, then Igniting it to create a 'soul'. She can transfer small amounts of her mana via Rena's Strings, but in order to make the 'Soul' Self-sustaining, and thus permanently empathic, A large amount of Mana is needed, which she has yet to learn to transfer. -Her puppetry skills, or "Acts" as she calls them, are quite legendary in battle, however, I'd rather keep their details a secret until the RP starts that is -Neivina's Marionettes are not only Sturdily built, but Highly shielded by her own mana, Preventing other people from breaking them, They can only be 'Killed', by damaging them in battle enough. She can 'Revive' them and 'Repair' them using her Mana, her Marionettes are Highly resistant to any sort of attacks, Especially Rena.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Other information:] -She swings both ways in terms of Sexuality, although she prefers women over men -Her biggest hobby, aside from Puppetry, is kidnapping women she does not like to bring to her cave so she can feed on them and torture them. She never kidnaps a man (Unless they venture near her with Blade in hand) or anyone she likes... This results in her being 'Wanted' as a criminal -Despite the mana not hitting her tongue, She can taste the mana that she siphons, Women's mana tends to taste sweeter, which is why she likes women more... -Anyone around Neivina can hear Rena Speak if Rena is speaking[/spoiler] [spoiler=Personality:]Since her Weapon is Empathic, I'll put the Personalities for both [spoiler=Neivina:]Neivina is aggressive towards people that approach her with the seeming intent to harm, even if you have your blade out during a battle or are being extra cautious. She tends to dislike men and the taste of their mana, since they tend to be more than pigs around her, and she watched men kidnap some of her 'Kin' when she was younger. She is a shut-in and does not leave her cave unless it is absolutely needed (Like if she needs to feed), and is highly territorial, even though she welcomes company. Neivina enjoys using her puppets, especially Rena, but she also likes to use her control bar to tie up unsuspecting people. Due to her values, She may or may not Revolt alongside the rebellion[/spoiler] [spoiler=Rena:]Rena's personality is best described as Motherly towards Neivina, She cares a lot for Neivina and will guide her through the toughest times, even though since she's a puppet and therefore extremely submissive to her. She has a dislike towards people that show aggression towards Neivina, however, she will not attack regardless of whether she's angry unless on Nevina's order. If Neivina hooks Rena up to her Control Bar, She will gladly follow Neivina's orders as she submits herself as a puppet. She loves to ride on Neivina's Shoulder[/spoiler][/spoiler] [spoiler=Bio:]Neivina's past is rather dark, She used to live in a tribe of other Alices, known as the 'Stringweavers', whose puppetry, in both Entertainment and Combat, were legendary. Each Stringweaver Alice was taught of their own style of Puppetry and given a Special Control Bar known as a 'Mojiretsu uiba' which is an Empathic Control Bar used to control their puppets. The time had come to recieve her 'Mojiretsu uiba', but everything changed when Forza Attacked the Stringweaver Tribe, Kidnapping a lot of Alices and Splitting the tribe up. to keep herself from being hunted, She fled to Initus and found herself a nice cave to live in...[/spoiler][/spoiler] [spoiler=Piercer of the Heavens] Username: Piercer of the Heavens Name: Tapio Nyyrikki(It’s supposedly Finnish, so if you want to know how to pronounce it use google.) Age: 26 Nickname: N/A Gender: Male [spoiler=Appearance:] Guy in the front-middle(shirtless, long hair, tattoo on shoulders) [img]http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2011/140/f/0/the_fire_tribe_by_ronairis-d3geuya.jpg[/img][/spoiler] Species: Human Side: Neutral/Geld Weapon(s): N/A [spoiler=Special Abilities:] Were-Magic(Don’t know what to call it so I’m calling it this.) [spoiler=Explanation]Were-magic is really simple to understand, but very hard to master. Essentially it can turn you into a were(animal). By the way “were” translates to “man” in case you did not know. There are rules and risk to this magic though, it’s not just turn half animal and kick ass. For you to be able to turn into a were(animal) you must first make what is known as a pact with said animal. It really isn’t a pact since the user can force it onto the animal, although the transformation is stronger and easier to use when the animal that the user made a pact trust the user. When making a pact the user summons a magic circle around the animal, this circle floats mid-way to the height of the animal, and then shrinks into the animal. The animal might not even know that you’re doing it since they don’t feel anything. What really happens is that you kind of take part of the animal’s soul away and is absorbed by the user. This allows you to turn in to that were(animal) since you contain a little bit of them inside you. The risks that come with this magic is that the more you stay in the transformed state, the harder that animal side is to control. Many users of this magic have been known to lose control of the animal side and stay in that transformed state for the rest of their life; acting like that animal. There is a good side to this, the less aggressive the animal the easier to control. Another risk is that if the animal that a pact was made with dies the rest of their soul is absorbed into your body. This makes turning into the “were” version of that animal exponentially harder to control, but the transformation does become stronger. If you transform while you’re either physically or mentally weak there is a high chance that the animal side will take control. Like any other magic the more you use it the better you get at it. In this case the more you use a certain transformation the more time you are able to stay in it. You can even reach a point in which you will no longer lose control, but that takes years of usage to obtain. An actual were(animal) is stronger than a person using this magic, unless the pact animal is dead, then they have the same strength. One last thing with this magic is that it has a thing called a “Resonance State.” This can only happen when you are in a “were” state and the animal you made a pact with is there with you(same one as whatever “were” state you’re in). This turns that animal into were(animal) so it can fight along with you. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Current “Were” states.]Weretiger Werebat Werelobster Werebutterfly Wererat [/spoiler][/spoiler] [spoiler=Other information:] Along his travels he met an tiger cub who was injured. The mother was killed for her skin, but the poachers did not know about the cub. Tapio raised it ever since then and has a pact with it. This tiger accompanies him everywhere. The tigers name is Kuu(its female).[/spoiler] [spoiler=Personality:] Tapio is unlike the men in his tribe. Most men are “manly” men, this includes being sexist, always trying to be in charge, etc. He actually believes that men and woman are equal. He enjoys to things with people, usually as a supporting role and not the leader. He has good charms and is good with the ladies do to his kindness, although he himself is oblivious to the “being good with the ladies” part. This has gotten him in weird situation with girls, were they are flirting with him, but he does not know it. His kindness isn’t just to people, it also is toward animals, due to how he was raised. He thanks whatever animal he is eating for giving its life to feed him(we all know that the animal didn’t give its life because it wanted it to…). He does not care for the ridicule he gets because of the way he dresses when he goes into bog cities, he is proud of his heritage.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Bio:] Tapio was born into the Nyyrikki tribe, which is located on the border of Sarro Marco and Gier, a few miles from the ocean. This tribe resides in the middle of a jungle, where not many people visit. The only people that do are either traders or scholars. This is either to get obsidian weapons, armors, decorations, etc.(which the Meilikki tribe are expert makers at) or to study the jungle and wildlife in it. The tribe is, well kind of tribal, where men rule everything. When he was born his tribe was attacked by a group of thieves, there to steal the secret to “were” magic. You see only four tribes know this type of magic, all of which are friendly with one another when they do meet. The [url="http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2011/140/f/0/the_fire_tribe_by_ronairis-d3geuya.jpg"]Nyyrikki[/url] tribe is located all the way west of the continent, the [url="http://th05.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/f/2011/324/6/e/the_wind_tribe_by_ronairis-d4gqh7b.jpg"]A[/url][url="http://th04.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/f/2011/140/0/a/the_frost_tribe_by_ronairis-d3gbha3.jpg"]nnikki[/url] tribe is located at the very tip of Farale, the [url="http://th05.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/f/2011/324/6/e/the_wind_tribe_by_ronairis-d4gqh7b.jpg"]Tellervo[/url] tribe is at the most eastern point of Silber, and finally the [url="http://th02.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/f/2011/215/6/c/the_nature_tribe_by_ronairis-d43fwwf.jpg"]Tuulikki[/url] is at the border of Gier, Privat, and Um.(Pictures are just so you can know the dress style, not that those are the only people in the tribe ). All four tribes were not only known for their “were” magic but for the great warriors that came from them, both male and female. These thieves were no ordinary thieves though; they were very skilled in magic and knew exactly what to do. They ambushed the tribe, but the tribe was still able to hold off the attack. Many were killed by the thieves, one of which was Tapio’s father. According to one thief, they were sent by the Forza, who wanted more magic to be able to defeat their enemies. The thief also told them that not only were they getting attacked, but the other three tribes were also going to get attacked. He didn’t know if they were going to hold back the attack like Tapio’s tribe did. So Tapio ended up being raised by his mother, who taught him to be respectful to woman, not to be like the other tribe members. Once Tapio reached the age of 19 his tribe was attacked again, but this time a full scale attack. Once again though, the tribe held its ground. This time though Tapio fought with his comrades, unlike when he was born. After the battle the tribe elder told the young warriors about the previous attack and how their sister tribes were getting attacked as well. That’s when Tapio decided that he would go and check on the sister tribes, except since he was the only one who wanted to he did that journey alone. Once he had check the other three tribes they all had the same story, they were attacked but they managed to fend off the attackers. So Tapio, now 27, then took it upon himself to stop the Forza. It was time the revolt against Forza...[/spoiler][/spoiler] [spoiler=Ketodama] Username: Ketodama Name: Vincetti Asantes Age: 36 Nickname: "Il Fantasma" Gender: Male [spoiler=Appearance:] Vincetti stands somewhere around 5 foot 8 inches in height (1.73 meters or so for you metric-minded folk), and though weight isn't apparent his build is not what you would call muscular though not quite scrawny either. He is a very lean fellow, whether because of exercise or due to low caloric intake is not exactly easy knowledge to come across. His skin is naturally olive in color, though he himself appears darker due to bearing a fair amount of tan across his body. His hair is a dark, silky black though he keeps it cut short at all times. His face is somewhat narrow in structure, and though they are not high his cheek bones are quite prominent. His face is kept clean of facial hair, with the exception of a simple pointed goatee upon his cleft chin. Perhaps the most shocking feature of his face are his eyes, the irises of them being such a dark brown as to give the appearance of him simply having solid black eyes. Typically, Vincetti is seen wearing clothing befitting a noble. He wears boots crafted of the finest, supplest leather and bright blue leggings almost certainly made of silk and bearing bright orange trim along the seems. Accompanying this, he wears a white long-sleeved tunic which is almost always open at the collar and his outfit is completed with a wide-brimmed gray hat within which is set a peacock's feather. A fine leather belt is wrapped around his waist, and at his left hip he always carries a finely crafted rapier. He does have another outfit though, one which is only worn when he exhibits himself as the alter-ego "Il Fantasma." He is clothed predominantly in black, the majority of this being a cloak over his body which bears a hood. This cloak reaches almost entirely to the ground, and when he stands still it covers him entirely and closes partially in the front. Beneath the cloak he wears a well-fitting set of pale grey tunic and trousers, along with a set of boots with padded soles to reduce the noise they make. The piece of clothing which completes the costume is a solid white mask bearing no features other than the holes through which he can see, which are covered over with specially treated reflective glass that bears an unworldly shine, particularly in low-light scenarios. Additionally, he caries different weaponry in this guise.[/spoiler] Species: Human [spoiler=Side] Apparently:Neutral Secretly: Rebellion[/spoiler] [spoiler=Weapons:] [img]http://i521.photobucket.com/albums/w339/Kiokama/Weapons/The_Slicer_by_Soulflame81-1.jpg[/img] At his left hip, when in the guise of Il Fantasma, Vincetti carries a peculiar sword which he claims has been in his family for generations. Whether this is true or not, the blade itself is remarkably sharp. So much so that it is capable of overcoming the fact that its shape is not meant to penetrate armor, most forms of mortal armor are as nothing beneath its edge. Furthermore, despite the obvious craftsmanship and the care taken in maintaining this blade, at night or when in dark places the blade reflects no light at all. [img]http://i521.photobucket.com/albums/w339/Kiokama/Weapons/CamDaggerx1-1.jpg[/img] Kept within a sheathe upon his chest, this dagger is meant less for direct hand-to-hand combat than it is meant for stealthy kills. It lacks the armor penetrative qualities of the blade, but its shorter length means that in Vincetti's skillful hands it can find the gaps between armor plates. At least as long as he can catch his foes unawares. Furthermore, the weapon clearly bears some magic within it, evidenced by the fact that whenever it is thrown it returns to his hand.[/spoiler] Special Abilities: - Vincetti, through years of training, has developed the ability to move almost silently. This is evidenced even when he is simply walking along and many who meet him for the first time often find that something is off about the surroundings. Additionally due to the training, he is quite agile and displays great skill in utilizing his weaponry. - A more secret ability of his is one which is hereditary amongst his family. He has the ability to teleport short ranges through the shadows cast upon the ground, that is to say he may enter one shadow and emerge from another not more than 65 feet(about 19.8 meters) away. With particularly large shadows or spaces of uninterrupted darkness, he can vanish into them and remain hidden for several minutes. Other information: - Vincetti is from an old and noble family which has lived and worked within Initus for five generations, and due to the financial successes of his ancestors he has access to a great deal of wealth. He himself adds to this fortune occasionally through offering loans at fair rates to businesses or the occasional traveler with a letter of credit. - Il Fantasma is a notorious assassin famed for his ability to infiltrate locations thought to be impenetrable and eliminate his target regardless of the strength of their security. He vanished from the trade of death 6 years ago, and only recently reappeared doing work for the revolt. [spoiler=Personality:] Vincetti is often considered loud, boisterous, exuberant, and generally a fine example of the more playful aspect of nobility. He holds parties on a whim, goes to parties on a whim, and has enough wealth for himself to more or less spend it on whatever he wants. It's common for him to have celebrations open to anyone, regardless of class, at which there is all the food and drink available that one could ask for. He's pretty much that rich guy that makes as many friends as he possibly can in just about every level of society. However, he is also prone to escapades under cover of darkness, cloak, and mask which work to further the cause of the fledgling rebellion. He does this out of a desire to make up for the wrongs of his past.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Bio] A bit of family history first. The man who originally brought Vincetti's family to the city of Initus was at one point wrongfully imprisoned in the country of his birth. Through the aid of a priest also wrongfully imprisoned, he escaped and learned of a treasure which gave him the wealth to punish those who had wronged him and live out his life comfortably thereafter. This man began the trend of the Asantes family heads being incredibly well trained in personal combat and stealth, as well as being the first in the family to utilize their hereditary gift with the shadows. Some four generations later, Vincetti's father Alexander married a girl by the name of Celeste. Though Celeste died giving birth to their first and only child, Alexander never held any contempt for his son and according to tradition taught him to use their family's hereditary gift when he turned 16 and also taught him the arts of stealth and to utilize the two relic weapons passed down from one head of the family to another. When his father died of fever, Vincetti was only 20 years old. Despite his grief, he took up the business of death and through the procurement of his chosen costume was able to do so without anyone realizing that the head of the Asantes family was the most brutal and successful assassin to live in Penial in the last fifty years. Because of his skill in stealth, and seemingly faceless nature, he earned the title "Il Fantasma", which translates to "The Phantom." Some ten years down the road, Il Fantasma simply vanished from the criminal underworld when Vincetti became tired of killing for no reason other than money. The money he had earned, though, bolstered his inheritted fortune and using it he set about making his living as a professional investor and took up his exuberent life style, explaining his absense from the city's upper class society by saying he had been traveling the world. However, when word reached him of a rebellion meaning to set Penial up as its own independent nation he publicly renounced any idea of doing such things. To the rest of the nobility, and the population of the city of Initus at large, he appeared to be sincere in this and often entertained members of either of the clans. In secret though, Il Fantasma raised his faceless head once more and offered his services to the rebellion.[/spoiler][/spoiler] [spoiler=SunKistRebelution] Username: SunKistRebelution Name: Urrte Va'aland Turoqua [i](War-Natured Wanderer [of the tribe] Turoqua)[/i] Age: 94 Nickname: The Beast-Marked Gender: M [spoiler='Species: Braekyl (pronounced bray-uh keel)'] (ALL CHARACTER RIGHTS RESERVED BY SunKistRebelution) [spoiler='General Info'] -The Braekyl race is technologically behind the majority of the world around them. This is not to say that they are in any way lacking in intelligence. As they say, necessity is the parent of innovation, and it would seem that very little threatened the race in their prior natural existence. They are natives and were the original inhabitants of the mineral-rich region of Silber, from far before humans ever arrived in the nation of Penial. [/spoiler] [spoiler='Economics and Livelihood'] -They are traditionally and most prominently a mining people. The race has had an affinity for and easy access to all sorts of rare and valuable stones, gems and minerals due to the prevalence of such things in their native region of Silber. Interestingly, the species has adapted to be able to survive off of minerals found in soil and rocks in addition to the omnivorous appetites normally exhibited by sentient species. Since it is a significant part of their sustenance and a major part of their livelihood, the Braekyl live throughout an incredibly extensive system of caves, tunnels and canyons carved out over the centuries by the combined efforts of natural erosion and their own ancestors.[/spoiler] [spoiler='Society'] -Socially, their tendencies resemble what most would deem borderline-barbaric. That is to say that they have very little in the way of domesticated technology or recreational technological development. Nearly all of their advances in the fields of science are focused around the two things they hold most dear: their mines and war. The different tribes were constantly warring with each other, mostly for sport. Many tournaments are held to determine bragging rights and often to avoid outright war. In the land of the Braekyl, victory is law. In fact, the Braekyl were so overconfident of their talents in the art of battle that when humans first arrived on Penial, they were invited to the Braekyl capital, Coron I'okal (meaning crown jewel in their language), in order that they might see firsthand the Compedorum Pen'hkl (Tournament for the pinnacle). Once the humans were in the capital they tricked the then-tribe-chief-of-chiefs into an unfavorable treaty concerning their land and resources.[/spoiler] [spoiler='Politics & Recent History'] -From the time that humans first arrived en masse on Penial, the Braekyl have been looked down upon for their simple lifestyles and 'barbaric' traditions. In 'civilized society' members of the race are often looked down upon and treated as sub-human, in both Geld and Forza-controlled territories. No Braekyl has ever held any authoritative title higher than Konigsaegis, which is the group of warriors that personally serve the king's wishes. They have never had any say in the governing authorities that rule over them.[/spoiler] [spoiler='Physical Description'] -The Braekyl are physically impressive specimens. The average male stands at around just under seven feet tall and weighs in at around 500 pounds. The average female stands at a height nearer to six and one-half feet, normally weighing somewhere under 400 pounds. The heavy weight of the species is accounted for by their massive size, incredibly dense bone structure, remarkably compact muscle mass and very thick, dense epidermal layer, which ranges in color from dull grey to brown to purple to black. -While typically humanoid (athletic) in build, the Braekyl race have proportionally long arms. They also have relatively long legs, which have a joint between the knee and ankle facing the opposite way of the knee. All members of the species have a shovel-like crest jutting first out, then curving upward from their foreheads; in males it is typically larger. If a member of the race has a markedly smaller crest, they normally have a trait very rare among the species: magical attunement, the degree of which varies from specimen to specimen. -Braekyl have two almond-shaped eyes of pure white, one long ear slit on each side of their head, no nose and a large mouth with humanoid teeth (except for having two extra sets of more-pronounced canine teeth and the ability to unhinge for consuming larger objects). They have two fingers and two opposable thumbs on each hand. Each foot possesses three marginally splayed, long toes. No claws or spikes can be found anywhere on the species. Braekyl grow hair behind their forehead crests, which is styled differently in different tribes.[/spoiler][/spoiler] [spoiler='Species Abilities'] -extended lifespan, which is, on average, 400+ years -incredible strength -durable skin, bones -low light vision ability -excellent hearing (compensate for lack of sense of smell) -distance running stamina -survive on consuming soil/rocks -forehead crest acts as internal lodestone [/spoiler] [spoiler='Appearance:'] -He has an athletic, humanoid build in the typical fashion of young warrior males of his race. Standing at an above average height of seven feet, four inches tall and weighing just over 525 pounds, he is a large individual, even for his species. -His skin tone is a silver-grey color, with the exception of a large, zig-zagging, deep-purple birthmark over the right portion of his torso and his right arm. He wears his hair in a mohawk-ponytail combo in the style of the Turoqua, his tribe. -He wears two white-bandage sleeve-wrappings along the upper parts of his forearms that continue to about mid-bicep. He wears a sleeveless tunic-robe of tanned, black animal hide, which remains open and exposes his chest. Matching white-bandage wrappings cover his lower abdomen to upper thigh. Over this, he wears tanned, black animal hide pants that continue until just past his knees. [/spoiler] [spoiler='Weapons'] -His main weapon is an absurdly large (by human standards) halberd crafted by the magesmith of his tribe, called Urscese, which means War-Ender. Due to the method of its smithing, it is capable of cutting through most magical barriers and nearly all materials. -His secondary weapon-set is made up of two large axes crafted by the magesmith of his tribe, which are named in English and called Upriser (which has luminescent, blue engravings) and Jury (which has luminescent, purple engravings). These axes are magically imbued with the ability to return to their wielder when cast away. [/spoiler] Side: Rebellion [spoiler='Other Info'] -heterosexual -birthmark is referred to by native people as "Mark of the Beast-Half", and supposedly forebodes a great animal companion one day -no family; parents both dead; siblings won't acknowledge him because he lost a fight in one of the important tournaments [/spoiler] [spoiler='Personality'] -He is intense nearly all the time. This is due partially to his being raised in a somber society of warriors and partially to his new fluency in the widespread conversational language of the nation. He is actually worried about joining the Rebellion due to the opinion humans and the like commonly hold of his kind. That he has usefulness as a warrior, there is no doubt in his mind, but as a compatriot he is unsure of himself. He has always been somewhat of a loner, actually. Not afraid of conversation or people but of his own ineptitude. He often states the obvious or repeats observations due to his lack of verbal confidence, meaning that while he appreciates the humor of others, he can only join in very infrequently. [/spoiler] [spoiler='Bio'] -Urrte was born into a clan that had a long line of legendary warriors in the history of the Braekyl. He was raised and trained from birth to follow in their footsteps and bring much acclaim to his clan and tribe. His father was abusive and a supporter of Geld interests in the area. Utilizing Urrte, his son, as a tool for profit, he forced many conqueror's tournaments to overtake nearby tribes and gain access to their resources in order that he might have better resources to use for bartering with the humans. The son, the tool, hated what his talents brought upon others. One day, his father challenged a nearby tribe who had an agreement of trade with the Forza, the hated rival of the Geld. When he found this out, Urrte decided to teach his father a lesson. He lost the tournament intentionally, forcing his father to forfeit a great portion of his lands and control. After his father's fall from grace, he never blamed Urrte. The son felt feelings for his father than conflicted with those he had held while his father was in a position of power. Shortly after the transition, the tribe that had overtaken the lands cruelly forced Urrte into exile and brutally executed his father, then his mother and three sisters. His hatred for all those allied with the Forza burned with great strength. However, he could never bring himself to join the Geld due to their prior exploitation of his people. He decided that there was only one way to get back at those who had so wronged him and his people. He could join the rebellion. This prospect worried the Braekyl, however, due to the fact that most humans didn't particularly like his kind. Additionally, as far as he knew, none of his people had ever attempted to join the rebellion. Perhaps it was time for that to change; perhaps this could be a step in the direction of equality for the Braekyl; perhaps now would begin a new era, an era of change...

The ability to fuse with Earth and its constructs such as trees and stone. She cannot harm once she is in this state nor can she be harmed. She is immune to poisons and most status effecting ailments.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#5A5A5A][font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Other information: She's a medicine woman believes in the power of herbs and natural remedies.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#5A5A5A][font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3][spoiler: Personality:] Ayana is the kind old woman that no one has an unkind word to say about. She comes with all of the mannerisms of the kind sage lady. She's great with kids, she's always willing to baby sit and she repeatedly gives candy to the neighborhood children. Even the soldiers refer to her as Granny because she is known for providing them with shelter and bountiful baked goods. In her old age Ayana has a thirst for knowledge and wanting to experience new things, while she still can. When she is not spoiling the young like a grandmother or babysitting she has her head in a book trying to learn as much as she can about the world. In terms of combat never underestimate her power or her ferocity. Like the sea she can be calm one moment and a torrential storm the next. Its akin to how a mother bear and eagle acts as when their babies are attacked. [/spoiler][/size][/font][/color] [font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#5A5A5A][size=3][spoiler: Bio:] When Ayana was born in a small village a shaman had told her parents that she was one of the chosen children to become an Orisha. This would be the most trying experience in her parents lives. For to become a full blown Orisha one must make a pact with the Earth soon after birth, so the parents had to bury their living child in the Earth for two days. After those two long agonizing days Ayana's parents dug up their child expecting the worst, but in actuality she was fine and still crying no less. She had become a full fledged Orisha. Orishas are the embodiments of the Earth itself. Agents of Gia who can use the Earth to their need. They watch over it and aid all of the creatures that dwell on it. Due to this connection with the Earth all Orishas have some power that involves nature. [/size][/color][/font] [font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#5A5A5A][size=3]After the nightmarish experience known as her birth it Ayana had a pretty normal life. Her people were pretty much into herbal remedies and mud baths so it was natural to her that she never noticed something weird about her physiology. She doesn't age, well she does age but at an alarmingly slow rate. Mostly because of her connection to earth every time she makes contact with it the Earth will replenish her energy, stamina, an her youthful appearance. Nevertheless like stated before her life was normal. She learned to use her abilities to the best that she could though it was hard for her to use them towards violence with her not being a violent person. About the age of 30 she decided to go venture out into the world and learned of the budding feud between the Forza and the Geld. It would be improper for her to pick a side though seeing as all of Earth's creatures deserve a fair shot. So she did what she thought would be the natural thing to do and that was abstain from any interaction with the opposing parties. She had made a little home for herself on the coast of the island of Medius. And as she was comfortable with her life their she did here word of the rising tension in the town of Initus and that is when she realized that as a beacon of the Earth she should not allow such mortal blood to be shed. Therefore she packed up all her things and set sale for Initus hopefully joining the rebel army.

He is a large man and very much decorated from head to toe in gaudy attire. He is pompus and arrogant, but that's only because he can be. His family has enough influence and power that he can be that way without worry. He is protected by guards twenty-four seven in his large castle in Santa Marco and rarely leaves, especially since the rumors of revolution began to spread.[/spoiler] [spoiler= Fritz von Geld] Fritz von Geld, age 42, is much younger and skinnier than his enemy, Salvatore Forza. Fritz tends to think more logically than his counterpart and keeps his people happy, however he uses his people's loyalty against them, making them pay an absurd amount of taxes for so called protection from the barbarians that exist in this world. They also take whatever they please from their subjects and promise to repay them for their gratuity. How can they do all this? Fear. Fritz has thrown so much fear into the lives of his people, they are blinded by a sense of loyalty where none truly exists.[/spoiler][/spoiler] [spoiler=Ponce Fury] Username: MortalKombatSmoke Name: Ponce Fury Age: 24 Nickname: none Gender: Male [spoiler=Appearance:] Ponce is 182.8 cm tall (6 ft tall) and weighs 81.6 kg (180 lbs). He has your average build and short brown with some facial stubble. He sports various black and red garments with a long black over-coat with a black hood. He also wears a black mask with red painted lines on it that make a red outline of a flower to the right side. The mask itself covers the entire front of Ponce's face except for his mouth and nostrils. The eye holes fit nearly perfectly as the mask was made specifically for him. He wears two tight fit black leather gauntlets with metal stacked on the outside of each. The gauntlets are tipped at the fingers. Ponce also has black leather boots and spaulders which remain over his cloak, underneath is a metal chest guard.[/spoiler] Species: Human Side: Rebellion [spoiler=Weapon(s):] Short Blade: [img]http://jodysamson.com/images/News/10-23-06/short-angular-fantasy-sword.jpg[/img] Rapier: [img]http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110826024531/forgottenrealms/images/f/fe/Rapier.jpg[/img] Poison Darts: [img]http://therionarms.com/sold/com133l.jpg[/img] Crossbow: [img]http://fourriverscharter.org/projects/Inventions/images/europe_crossbow2.jpg[/img] Smoke Bombs: [img]http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2011/127/b/8/paper_mache_smoke_bomb_by_estomayka-d3ftorf.jpg[/img] Clawed Gauntlets[/spoiler] Special Abilities: Ponce has very heightened senses and a much better vesicular sense than most people (the sense of where each part of your body is and how they are moving). He also has a rather high agility and accuracy when it comes to his poison darts and crossbow. He is fairly fast and does have a high endurance, however he is still human. His father is dead, he never knew his mother or brother whom went missing when ponce was at a young age, presumably taken by the Forza. Other information: Ponce is a devoted master assassin, his favorite foods are chicken (specifically the legs) and potato soup, and he is homosexual. [spoiler=Personality:] Ponce is generally light hearted, a very fun person and can tend to get a little off track at times, but when it comes to his work, there is no fooling around with him. Once he sets his mind to something, he tends not to stop for anything, or anyone. That includes the revolution, he will do anything to make sure it succeeds, no matter what. He is also the type that loves to eat, constantly, and never seems to gain much weight. Ponce, being the devoted assassin that he is, also endulges himself in constant training to make sure his skills are at the best they can be. Living this kind of lifestyle lives little room for any type of relationships and causes Ponce to focus all of his frustrations on the Forza and Geld.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Bio:] Ponce was born in Micci, he was raised and trained as an Assassin by his father and has known nothing else but to be an Assassin and the moral obligations that come with being an Assassin, one of the most important rules to never kill an innocent. When Ponce was young, around the age of 15, Micci was taken over by the Forza, who took the depressed state of this territory to their advantage by practically invading the entire area before they had complete and utter political influence. Ponce's father tried to stop and kill the leader of the Forza clan, Salvatore Forza, but failed. He was captured and executed. Never knowing his mother and not having any siblings of his own, Ponce drove himself to a singular purpose, to avenge the death of his father, and end the Forza reign in Penial. He planned a Revolt no one would forget any time soon.[/spoiler][/spoiler][/spoiler][/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Standing at an above average height of seven feet, four inches tall and weighing just over 525 pounds, he is a large individual, even for his species. -His skin tone is a silver-grey color, with the exception of a large, zig-zagging, deep-purple birthmark over the right portion of his torso and his right arm. He wears his hair in a mohawk-ponytail combo in the style of the Turoqua, his tribe. -He wears two white-bandage sleeve-wrappings along the upper parts of his forearms that continue to about mid-bicep. He wears a sleeveless tunic-robe of tanned, black animal hide, which remains open and exposes his chest. Matching white-bandage wrappings cover his lower abdomen to upper thigh. Over this, he wears tanned, black animal hide pants that continue until just past his knees. [/spoiler] [spoiler='Weapons'] -His main weapon is an absurdly large (by human standards) halberd crafted by the magesmith of his tribe, called Urscese, which means War-Ender. Due to the method of its smithing, it is capable of cutting through most magical barriers and nearly all materials. -His secondary weapon-set is made up of two large axes crafted by the magesmith of his tribe, which are named in English and called Upriser (which has luminescent, blue engravings) and Jury (which has luminescent, purple engravings). These axes are magically imbued with the ability to return to their wielder when cast away. [/spoiler] Side: Rebellion [spoiler='Other Info'] -heterosexual -birthmark is referred to by native people as "Mark of the Beast-Half", and supposedly forebodes a great animal companion one day -no family; parents both dead; siblings won't acknowledge him because he lost a fight in one of the important tournaments [/spoiler] [spoiler='Personality'] -He is intense nearly all the time. This is due partially to his being raised in a somber society of warriors and partially to his new fluency in the widespread conversational language of the nation. He is actually worried about joining the Rebellion due to the opinion humans and the like commonly hold of his kind. That he has usefulness as a warrior, there is no doubt in his mind, but as a compatriot he is unsure of himself. He has always been somewhat of a loner, actually. Not afraid of conversation or people but of his own ineptitude. He often states the obvious or repeats observations due to his lack of verbal confidence, meaning that while he appreciates the humor of others, he can only join in very infrequently. [/spoiler] [spoiler='Bio'] -Urrte was born into a clan that had a long line of legendary warriors in the history of the Braekyl. He was raised and trained from birth to follow in their footsteps and bring much acclaim to his clan and tribe. His father was abusive and a supporter of Geld interests in the area. Utilizing Urrte, his son, as a tool for profit, he forced many conqueror's tournaments to overtake nearby tribes and gain access to their resources in order that he might have better resources to use for bartering with the humans. The son, the tool, hated what his talents brought upon others. One day, his father challenged a nearby tribe who had an agreement of trade with the Forza, the hated rival of the Geld. When he found this out, Urrte decided to teach his father a lesson. He lost the tournament intentionally, forcing his father to forfeit a great portion of his lands and control. After his father's fall from grace, he never blamed Urrte. The son felt feelings for his father than conflicted with those he had held while his father was in a position of power. Shortly after the transition, the tribe that had overtaken the lands cruelly forced Urrte into exile and brutally executed his father, then his mother and three sisters. His hatred for all those allied with the Forza burned with great strength. However, he could never bring himself to join the Geld due to their prior exploitation of his people. He decided that there was only one way to get back at those who had so wronged him and his people. He could join the rebellion. This prospect worried the Braekyl, however, due to the fact that most humans didn't particularly like his kind. Additionally, as far as he knew, none of his people had ever attempted to join the rebellion. Perhaps it was time for that to change; perhaps this could be a step in the direction of equality for the Braekyl; perhaps now would begin a new era, an era of change...

Asriel Dreemurr Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Username: Ketodama Name: Vincetti Asantes Age: 36 Nickname: "Il Fantasma" Gender: Male [spoiler=Appearance:] Vincetti stands somewhere around 5 foot 8 inches in height (1.73 meters or so for you metric-minded folk), and though weight isn't apparent his build is not what you would call muscular though not quite scrawny either. He is a very lean fellow, whether because of exercise or due to low caloric intake is not exactly easy knowledge to come across. His skin is naturally olive in color, though he himself appears darker due to bearing a fair amount of tan across his body. His hair is a dark, silky black though he keeps it cut short at all times. His face is somewhat narrow in structure, and though they are not high his cheek bones are quite prominent. His face is kept clean of facial hair, with the exception of a simple pointed goatee upon his cleft chin. Perhaps the most shocking feature of his face are his eyes, the irises of them being such a dark brown as to give the appearance of him simply having solid black eyes. Typically, Vincetti is seen wearing clothing befitting a noble. He wears boots crafted of the finest, supplest leather and bright blue leggings almost certainly made of silk and bearing bright orange trim along the seems. Accompanying this, he wears a white long-sleeved tunic which is almost always open at the collar and his outfit is completed with a wide-brimmed gray hat within which is set a peacock's feather. A fine leather belt is wrapped around his waist, and at his left hip he always carries a finely crafted rapier. He does have another outfit though, one which is only worn when he exhibits himself as the alter-ego "Il Fantasma." He is clothed predominantly in black, the majority of this being a cloak over his body which bears a hood. This cloak reaches almost entirely to the ground, and when he stands still it covers him entirely and closes partially in the front. Beneath the cloak he wears a well-fitting set of pale grey tunic and trousers, along with a set of boots with padded soles to reduce the noise they make. The piece of clothing which completes the costume is a solid white mask bearing no features other than the holes through which he can see, which are covered over with specially treated reflective glass that bears an unworldly shine, particularly in low-light scenarios. Additionally, he caries different weaponry in this guise.[/spoiler] Species: Human [spoiler=Side] Apparently:Neutral Secretly: Rebellion[/spoiler] [spoiler=Weapons:] [img]http://i521.photobucket.com/albums/w339/Kiokama/Weapons/The_Slicer_by_Soulflame81-1.jpg[/img] At his left hip, when in the guise of Il Fantasma, Vincetti carries a peculiar sword which he claims has been in his family for generations. Whether this is true or not, the blade itself is remarkably sharp. So much so that it is capable of overcoming the fact that its shape is not meant to penetrate armor, most forms of mortal armor are as nothing beneath its edge. Furthermore, despite the obvious craftsmanship and the care taken in maintaining this blade, at night or when in dark places the blade reflects no light at all. [img]http://i521.photobucket.com/albums/w339/Kiokama/Weapons/CamDaggerx1-1.jpg[/img] Kept within a sheathe upon his chest, this dagger is meant less for direct hand-to-hand combat than it is meant for stealthy kills. It lacks the armor penetrative qualities of the blade, but its shorter length means that in Vincetti's skillful hands it can find the gaps between armor plates. At least as long as he can catch his foes unawares. Furthermore, the weapon clearly bears some magic within it, evidenced by the fact that whenever it is thrown it returns to his hand.[/spoiler] Special Abilities: - Vincetti, through years of training, has developed the ability to move almost silently. This is evidenced even when he is simply walking along and many who meet him for the first time often find that something is off about the surroundings. Additionally due to the training, he is quite agile and displays great skill in utilizing his weaponry. - A more secret ability of his is one which is hereditary amongst his family. He has the ability to teleport short ranges through the shadows cast upon the ground, that is to say he may enter one shadow and emerge from another not more than 65 feet(about 19.8 meters) away. With particularly large shadows or spaces of uninterrupted darkness, he can vanish into them and remain hidden for several minutes. Other information: - Vincetti is from an old and noble family which has lived and worked within Initus for five generations, and due to the financial successes of his ancestors he has access to a great deal of wealth. He himself adds to this fortune occasionally through offering loans at fair rates to businesses or the occasional traveler with a letter of credit. - Il Fantasma is a notorious assassin famed for his ability to infiltrate locations thought to be impenetrable and eliminate his target regardless of the strength of their security. He vanished from the trade of death 6 years ago, and only recently reappeared doing work for the revolt. [spoiler=Personality:] Vincetti is often considered loud, boisterous, exuberant, and generally a fine example of the more playful aspect of nobility. He holds parties on a whim, goes to parties on a whim, and has enough wealth for himself to more or less spend it on whatever he wants. It's common for him to have celebrations open to anyone, regardless of class, at which there is all the food and drink available that one could ask for. He's pretty much that rich guy that makes as many friends as he possibly can in just about every level of society. However, he is also prone to escapades under cover of darkness, cloak, and mask which work to further the cause of the fledgling rebellion. He does this out of a desire to make up for the wrongs of his past.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Bio] A bit of family history first. The man who originally brought Vincetti's family to the city of Initus was at one point wrongfully imprisoned in the country of his birth. Through the aid of a priest also wrongfully imprisoned, he escaped and learned of a treasure which gave him the wealth to punish those who had wronged him and live out his life comfortably thereafter. This man began the trend of the Asantes family heads being incredibly well trained in personal combat and stealth, as well as being the first in the family to utilize their hereditary gift with the shadows. Some four generations later, Vincetti's father Alexander married a girl by the name of Celeste. Though Celeste died giving birth to their first and only child, Alexander never held any contempt for his son and according to tradition taught him to use their family's hereditary gift when he turned 16 and also taught him the arts of stealth and to utilize the two relic weapons passed down from one head of the family to another. When his father died of fever, Vincetti was only 20 years old. Despite his grief, he took up the business of death and through the procurement of his chosen costume was able to do so without anyone realizing that the head of the Asantes family was the most brutal and successful assassin to live in Penial in the last fifty years. Because of his skill in stealth, and seemingly faceless nature, he earned the title "Il Fantasma", which translates to "The Phantom." Some ten years down the road, Il Fantasma simply vanished from the criminal underworld when Vincetti became tired of killing for no reason other than money. The money he had earned, though, bolstered his inheritted fortune and using it he set about making his living as a professional investor and took up his exuberent life style, explaining his absense from the city's upper class society by saying he had been traveling the world. However, when word reached him of a rebellion meaning to set Penial up as its own independent nation he publicly renounced any idea of doing such things. To the rest of the nobility, and the population of the city of Initus at large, he appeared to be sincere in this and often entertained members of either of the clans. In secret though, Il Fantasma raised his faceless head once more and offered his services to the rebellion.[/spoiler] Probably the quickest I've ever gotten an app out. Whoever can guess the litterary reference made in his family history gets an e-brownie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is immune to poisons and most status effecting ailments.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#5A5A5A][font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Other information: She's a medicine woman believes in the power of herbs and natural remedies.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#5A5A5A][font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3][spoiler: Personality:] Ayana is the kind old woman that no one has an unkind word to say about. She comes with all of the mannerisms of the kind sage lady. She's great with kids, she's always willing to baby sit and she repeatedly gives candy to the neighborhood children. Even the soldiers refer to her as Granny because she is known for providing them with shelter and bountiful baked goods. In her old age Ayana has a thirst for knowledge and wanting to experience new things, while she still can. When she is not spoiling the young like a grandmother or babysitting she has her head in a book trying to learn as much as she can about the world. In terms of combat never underestimate her power or her ferocity. Like the sea she can be calm one moment and a torrential storm the next. Its akin to how a mother bear and eagle acts as when their babies are attacked. [/spoiler][/size][/font][/color] [font="tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif"][color="#5a5a5a"][size=3][spoiler: Bio:] When Ayana was born in a small village a shaman had told her parents that she was one of the chosen children to become an Orisha. This would be the most trying experience in her parents lives. For to become a full blown Orisha one must make a pact with the Earth soon after birth, so the parents had to bury their living child in the Earth for two days. After those two long agonizing days Ayana's parents dug up their child expecting the worst, but in actuality she was fine and still crying no less. She had become a full fledged Orisha. Orishas are the embodiments of the Earth itself. Agents of Gia who can use the Earth to their need. They watch over it and aid all of the creatures that dwell on it. Due to this connection with the Earth all Orishas have some power that involves nature. [/size][/color][/font] [font="tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif"][color="#5a5a5a"][size=3]After the nightmarish experience known as her birth it Ayana had a pretty normal life. Her people were pretty much into herbal remedies and mud baths so it was natural to her that she never noticed something weird about her physiology. She doesn't age, well she does age but at an alarmingly slow rate. Mostly because of her connection to earth every time she makes contact with it the Earth will replenish her energy, stamina, an her youthful appearance. Nevertheless like stated before her life was normal. She learned to use her abilities to the best that she could though it was hard for her to use them towards violence with her not being a violent person. About the age of 30 she decided to go venture out into the world and learned of the budding feud between the Forza and the Geld. It would be improper for her to pick a side though seeing as all of Earth's creatures deserve a fair shot. So she did what she thought would be the natural thing to do and that was abstain from any interaction with the opposing parties. She had made a little home for herself on the coast of the island of Medius. And as she was comfortable with her life their she did here word of the rising tension in the town of Initus and that is when she realized that as a beacon of the Earth she should not allow such mortal blood to be shed. Therefore she packed up all her things and set sale for Initus hopefully joining the rebel army. [/spoiler][/size][/color][/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MortalKombatSmoke Posted November 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 [quote name='galesonic' timestamp='1353378943' post='6073809'] Hmm. I'll reserve a spot here. I have a question before I make my app: Are there going to be animals/monsters in this RP? [/quote] reserved and yes there will be [quote name='SunKistRebelution' timestamp='1353388774' post='6073895'] Here's my app. Still in the process of working on the bio. Username: SunKistRebelution Name: Urrte Va'aland Turoqua [i](War-Natured Wanderer [of the tribe] Turoqua)[/i] Age: Nickname: Gender: M [spoiler='Species: Braekyl (pronounced bray-uh keel)'] (ALL CHARACTER RIGHTS RESERVED BY SunKistRebelution) [spoiler='General Info'] -The Braekyl race is technologically behind the majority of the world around them. This is not to say that they are in any way lacking in intelligence. As they say, necessity is the parent of innovation, and it would seem that very little threatened the race in their prior natural existence. They are natives and were the original inhabitants of the mineral-rich region of Silber, from far before humans ever arrived in the nation of Penial. [/spoiler] [spoiler='Economics and Livelihood'] -They are traditionally and most prominently a mining people. The race has had an affinity for and easy access to all sorts of rare and valuable stones, gems and minerals due to the prevalence of such things in their native region of Silber. Interestingly, the species has adapted to be able to survive off of minerals found in soil and rocks in addition to the omnivorous appetites normally exhibited by sentient species. Since it is a significant part of their sustenance and a major part of their livelihood, the Braekyl live throughout an incredibly extensive system of caves, tunnels and canyons carved out over the centuries by the combined efforts of natural erosion and their own ancestors.[/spoiler] [spoiler='Society'] -Socially, their tendencies resemble what most would deem borderline-barbaric. That is to say that they have very little in the way of domesticated technology or recreational technological development. Nearly all of their advances in the fields of science are focused around the two things they hold most dear: their mines and war. The different tribes were constantly warring with each other, mostly for sport. Many tournaments are held to determine bragging rights and often to avoid outright war. In the land of the Braekyl, victory is law. In fact, the Braekyl were so overconfident of their talents in the art of battle that when humans first arrived on Penial, they were invited to the Braekyl capital, Coron I'okal (meaning crown jewel in their language), in order that they might see firsthand the Compedorum Pen'hkl (Tournament for the pinnacle). Once the humans were in the capital they tricked the then-tribe-chief-of-chiefs into an unfavorable treaty concerning their land and resources.[/spoiler] [spoiler='Politics & Recent History'] -From the time that humans first arrived en masse on Penial, the Braekyl have been looked down upon for their simple lifestyles and 'barbaric' traditions. In 'civilized society' members of the race are often looked down upon and treated as sub-human, in both Geld and Forza-controlled territories. No Braekyl has ever held any authoritative title higher than Konigsaegis, which is the group of warriors that personally serve the king's wishes. They have never had any say in the governing authorities that rule over them.[/spoiler] [spoiler='Physical Description'] -The Braekyl are physically impressive specimens. The average male stands at around just under seven feet tall and weighs in at around 500 pounds. The average female stands at a height nearer to six and one-half feet, normally weighing somewhere under 400 pounds. The heavy weight of the species is accounted for by their massive size, incredibly dense bone structure, remarkably compact muscle mass and very thick, dense epidermal layer, which ranges in color from dull grey to brown to purple to black. -While typically humanoid (athletic) in build, the Braekyl race have proportionally long arms. They also have relatively long legs, which have a joint between the knee and ankle facing the opposite way of the knee. All members of the species have a shovel-like crest jutting first out, then curving upward from their foreheads; in males it is typically larger. If a member of the race has a markedly smaller crest, they normally have a trait very rare among the species: magical attunement, the degree of which varies from specimen to specimen. -Braekyl have two almond-shaped eyes of pure white, one long ear slit on each side of their head, no nose and a large mouth with humanoid teeth (except for having two extra sets of more-pronounced canine teeth and the ability to unhinge for consuming larger objects). They have two fingers and two opposable thumbs on each hand. Each foot possesses three marginally splayed, long toes. No claws or spikes can be found anywhere on the species. Braekyl grow hair behind their forehead crests, which is styled differently in different tribes.[/spoiler][/spoiler] [spoiler='Species Abilities'] -incredible strength -durable skin, bones -low light vision ability -excellent hearing (compensate for lack of sense of smell) -distance running stamina -survive on consuming soil/rocks -forehead crest acts as internal lodestone [/spoiler] [spoiler='Appearance:'] -He has an athletic, humanoid build in the typical fashion of young warrior males of his race. Standing at an above average height of seven feet, four inches tall and weighing just over 525 pounds, he is a large individual, even for his species. -His skin tone is a silver-grey color, with the exception of a large, zig-zagging, deep-purple birthmark over the right portion of his torso and his right arm. He wears his hair in a mohawk-ponytail combo in the style of the Turoqua, his tribe. -He wears two white-bandage sleeve-wrappings along the upper parts of his forearms that continue to about mid-bicep. He wears a sleeveless tunic-robe of tanned, black animal hide, which remains open and exposes his chest. Matching white-bandage wrappings cover his lower abdomen to upper thigh.

In secret though, Il Fantasma raised his faceless head once more and offered his services to the rebellion.[/spoiler] Probably the quickest I've ever gotten an app out. Whoever can guess the litterary reference made in his family history gets an e-brownie! [/quote] Nicely done accepted!

SilenceinDreams Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 This is my first app, hope it’s good enough, if I messed up on something please let me know. [b]Username:[/b] SilenceinDreams [b]Name:[/b] Travinis Benndrathal (Born: Trevinaar Brandentheel) [b]Age:[/b] 23 [b]Nickname:[/b] The Logophile [b]Gender:[/b] Male [spoiler= Appearance:] Travinis isn’t quite fit, but he is more athletic than most others his age, his legs are definitely built. He’s not that tall, but hey, six foot isn’t bad and only 214 lbs. Travinis has natural tan looking skin, and he will always defend the fact that he never tans. He has scar indentations all over his bodie from back in his early days of robbing. When he was 16 he got tattoo of his mother’s name and the date of which she died in remembrance of her on his left forearm. When people first look at Travinis, to someone he feels like taking advantage of, they see in his face what he wants them to see, a bright young man who has a smile on his face. Yet as to those he sees as just another nobody or even a friend, he shows what he really looks like, a full face (not fat, full) shaggy hair, hazel eyes. When not in formal dress, he has his labret piercing in, even if it means he has to re-pierce it from not having it in for too long. If you saw him like this, he would be like a punk Scarface .Now Travinis isn’t exactly the person you’d expect to see walking down the streets, He’s more the person you’d expect to see with the wealthy, since he is always finely dressed, not in the best clothes, but fine enough that people often mistake him for nobility. Travinis always wears a jade encrusted silver pendant, which his mother gave to him only hours before she died. [/spoiler] [spoiler= Species:] Akrakatian (Descendant of the Arakacians through human breeding) [/spoiler] [b]Side:[/b] Neutral [spoiler= Weapon(s):] -Carries a steel rapier in a cane sheath so no one knows of it, and a pair of leather greaves in his pocket that give him a heightened ability to steal items from others(mostly NPC’s but occasionally other players). -Travinis also hides two knives about the length of his forearms beneath his pant legs. [/spoiler] [spoiler= Special Abilities:] - Can persuade people like no other - Able to steal remarkably when wearing enchanted leather greaves (given to him by uncles friend) - Can create inanimate copies of himself as to escape trouble(acquired through jade pennant) [/spoiler] [spoiler= Other information:] - He often carries a snake that he trained to sneak into certain areas in cases to infiltrate to steal certain in an arrow quiver on his back - Inherited a family curse that every Akrakatian family has from which when he fights, sometimes a spirit (which only follows one person at a time) takes control of his body and forces him to lose the fight purposely and become severely beaten. He can control it most of the time by channeling the spirit into one of his inanimate copies, but there are times when he is too late. [/spoiler] [spoiler= Personality:] Travinis is generally the kind of person who is quite until he sees someone he wishes to steal, or if he is amongst friends. He is very respectful to anyone until they disrespect him, and if you are kind and respectful to him he often doesn’t steal from you, unless for a job. He can make friends easily, which he has learned through necessity of connection for his habit of stealing for himself or a job for his boss which changes by whoever pays the most. Not many are friends with him personally only acquaintances because of the fact that he doesn’t need any. [/spoiler] [spoiler= Bio:] With not knowing his father until he was twenty two and out in the new countr , he didn’t care much about meeting him since his uncle fathered him. His uncle taught him the art of persuasion and thievery, his uncle was a master at getting whatever he wanted just by talking to someone. When Travinis was only sixteen his mother died from inheriting the family curse through marriage after fighting off some men who were attempting to steal the jade pennant from her. She was able to break free from the fight and escape to only live for several hours longer, just long enough to give her son Travinis (who at the time was still Trevinaar Brandentheel) the pennant. He later changed his name after being imprisoned for killing the three men who attacked his mother to Travinis Benndrathal and moved away from his home town with his uncle to complete his training and to learn sword fighting from his uncle friend with a rapier. But when he turned twenty-one his uncle died from a common heart disease. When he died he said that Travins was a more skilled artist at what he did than his uncle could ever be. Yet even till the day he died Travis believed he was still the master and Travinis holds his uncles standards of persuasion to a much higher state than his own. So Travinis continued on with his training until his uncles friend decided it was time for him to carry on with his life on his own, and self-train. When Travinis left for a new country he would meet his father in a stable with his “new” family, the family he left Travinis and his mother for. Travinis and his father could tell who each other where by the looks in their eyes. His father tried to explain that he thought that if he left maybe the spirit would follow him. Travinis confronted his father about how he didn’t believe him. He told his father how he was the one the spirit was following now, and he asked his father if there was any way to be rid of it, but alas the only way was to give it to another. At that point Travinis killed his father with the realization that his father purposefully gave the spirit to his mother hoping it would kill him and his mother. From then on Travinis did what he was taught to do, for jobs to whoever paid the most or if it was just something he wanted. [/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bad Pennar Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Username: Death Label - Shinki (Or as you refer to me... Flandre Scarlet) Name: [color=#0000cd]Neivina Neviru[/color] Age: Although she looks 12, She is at least 400 years old, if not more Nickname: She is often referred to as 'The Widow of Strings'. however, people that know her name simply refer to her as 'Vina' Gender: Female Appearance: Neivina is about 4'8' tall with somewhat flat chest and nice legs. She has White Hair, Human-like Skin, and purple eyes as well as small black wings and a long and Slender, black Spear-like Tail. She wears a White Skirt and a Tube top adorned with Black Ribbons that even connect her skirt to her Tube-top, She also has a lot of black Ribbons all around her body, Including the arms, ankles, legs, and torso. She also wears a pair of glasses to help make and repair the more Intricate Marionettes. [spoiler=Species:] Neivina is an Alice... [spoiler=What is an Alice?:] An Alice is a Subspecies of Succubi that often look like Children, regardless of how old they actually are, however, Alices tend to have a more powerful Charm effect than Inccubi and Succubi, and have more latent Mana than most races, even that of Demons, which easily allows them to use powerful Magic. The most prominent Features of an Alice is their Wings and very sharp Tail, The Latter they use to feed. Alices are a High endangered Demon Species and only a few roam the world. All Alices are female.... Alices are usually not seen living in cities, often preferring to live out in the wilderness in caves, Despite being sentient, and some prefer living alone, but All Alices call each other their 'Kin'...[/spoiler] [spoiler=What is their Diet?:]An Alice only live on their Mana, They don't need any sort of food that an average Species needs to eat. Alices use their tail to feed by Siphoning the Mana of other living beings, This Residual Mana is often self-sustaining in other creatures. Their Tails also contain a special Venom that Numbs their prey and puts them to sleep, allowing the Alice to feed off of them easily... [/spoiler] [spoiler=What is their relations with other Species?:]Alices often have Mixed feelings about other Races, Some like to coexist with other species, some are indifferent, while others have a dislike to other species and are highly aggressive. Some Species tend to treat Alices like Animals due to their Lifestyle Alice Venom is extremely valuable as it has a lot of uses, Varying from being applied to bladed weapons as a very potent poison, to Medical fields as an anesthetic, even to the Magical Field as an extremely powerful Catalyst for spells (As Alice Venom is Laced with their mana as well). However, The Alices themselves are even more valuable, especially in the Blacksmith field, as they can transfer their mana to a weapon and ignite it, Creating an Empathic weapon that is similar to a Tsukumogami. [/spoiler] [spoiler=What is their relations with the Clans/Rebellion?:]Most Alices have a hatred toward both the nations due to the fact that both Clans blatantly capture Alices, then use them as Slaves. They have Mixed feelings about the Rebellion, Some are more than happy to get back at the nations for what they did to their 'Kin', while others dislike the rebellion for various reasons... Alices have a Tendency to flee into Neutral Regions to avoid being hunted[/spoiler] [spoiler=What is their Lifespan?:]The Average Alice, provided that they die of natural causes and have plenty of mana, can live to be 1000 years old, however, the life expectancy of Alices nowadays is around 100 years, The oldest recorded Alice was 1597 years old[/spoiler] [spoiler=What is their History?:]The Alices Originally inhabited the area that is in Northern Privat and Southern Peso, including a lot of the border as a bunch of tribes, They were fine as the Humans arrived at Penial, since that meant more food for them However, As the 2 clans Started taking over that area and started enslaving Alices, They fled to different 4 Regions, Micci, Initus, Santo Marco, and Gier. The clans stepped up kidnapping Alices when they discovered many uses of their venom, however, They did not know how to actually harvest the venom without killing the Alice itself, so they left the cities for a more solitary life in the wilderness...[/spoiler] [/spoiler] Side: Neutral [spoiler=Weapon(s):] [b]Rena: [/b]A Living Control Bar that focuses in a person's Latent Mana to create Strings to attach to a puppet, The Strings can phase through anything, which allows her to control the puppet even if there are obstacles in the way. In addition, She can use the said strings to tie up anything, but can't control living humans. The Strings from this control bar actually sends slivers of mana to the puppet, where after a certain duration of using them, They can Live Temporarily. This Control Bar is White with Black Decorations and a Blue Jewel in the Middle... Rena's Human form is a little girl that is 3 feet tall with Blue eyes and normal looking skin and black hair, She wears a Blue Skirt and a white Shirt and walks in bare feet, She's able to pull huge hammers and Cleavers out of thin air, however, She only likes to use her Special Sword in fights, Which is a Sword that is Twice as long as how tall Neivina is, and still able to use it effectively, especially if Neivina uses her as a puppet. [b]Other Marionettes: [/b]In addition to her Rena's human form that she is able to use as a puppet, She has another Marionette that she is able to use which looks Similar to Rena, Except with red hair, red eyes, and a black Dress, and wields a pair of Short swords, She also is working on a 2nd extra Marionette that is huge [/spoiler] [Spoiler=Special Abilities:] -Neivina's Innate Charm is very powerful, Literally pulling the attention of Weak-willed people to her. Since this is a Pheremone-type Charm that comes from the skin, which in turn gets stronger as the she's close to the victim as well as the less clothing she wears, Which easily can allow either her or any Stronger-willed ally to ambush their Victims, This ability even affects women, causing even Faithfully straight women to fall for her. Neivina finds this ability annoying and seals this ability until she needs them by wearing Black Ribbons, Which has a compound that absorbs the Pheromones that make up the charm. -Her Mana capacity allows her to use powerful Magic, In addition, She can create Empathic weapons by transferring her Mana into a weapon, then Igniting it to create a 'soul'. She can transfer small amounts of her mana via Rena's Strings, but in order to make the 'Soul' Self-sustaining, and thus permanently empathic, A large amount of Mana is needed, which she has yet to learn to transfer. -Her puppetry skills, or "Acts" as she calls them, are quite legendary in battle, however, I'd rather keep their details a secret until the RP starts that is -Neivina's Marionettes are not only Sturdily built, but Highly shielded by her own mana, Preventing other people from breaking them, They can only be 'Killed', by damaging them in battle enough. She can 'Revive' them and 'Repair' them using her Mana, her Marionettes are Highly resistant to any sort of attacks, Especially Rena.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Other information:] -She swings both ways in terms of Sexuality, although she prefers women over men -Her biggest hobby, aside from Puppetry, is kidnapping women she does not like to bring to her cave so she can feed on them and torture them. She never kidnaps a man (Unless they venture near her with Blade in hand) or anyone she likes... This results in her being 'Wanted' as a criminal -Despite the mana not hitting her tongue, She can taste the mana that she siphons, Women's mana tends to taste sweeter, which is why she likes women more... -Anyone around Neivina can hear Rena Speak if Rena is speaking[/spoiler] [spoiler=Personality:]Since her Weapon is Empathic, I'll put the Personalities for both [spoiler=Neivina:]Neivina is aggressive towards people that approach her with the seeming intent to harm, even if you have your blade out during a battle or are being extra cautious. She tends to dislike men and the taste of their mana, since they tend to be more than pigs around her, and she watched men kidnap some of her 'Kin' when she was younger. She is a shut-in and does not leave her cave unless it is absolutely needed (Like if she needs to feed), and is highly territorial, even though she welcomes company. Neivina enjoys using her puppets, especially Rena, but she also likes to use her control bar to tie up unsuspecting people. Due to her values, She may or may not Revolt alongside the rebellion[/spoiler] [spoiler=Rena:]Rena's personality is best described as Motherly towards Neivina, She cares a lot for Neivina and will guide her through the toughest times, even though since she's a puppet and therefore extremely submissive to her. She has a dislike towards people that show aggression towards Neivina, however, she will not attack regardless of whether she's angry unless on Nevina's order. If Neivina hooks Rena up to her Control Bar, She will gladly follow Neivina's orders as she submits herself as a puppet. She loves to ride on Neivina's Shoulder[/spoiler][/spoiler] [spoiler=Bio:]Neivina's past is rather dark, She used to live in a tribe of other Alices, known as the 'Stringweavers', whose puppetry, in both Entertainment and Combat, were legendary. Each Stringweaver Alice was taught of their own style of Puppetry and given a Special Control Bar known as a 'Mojiretsu uiba' which is an Empathic Control Bar used to control their puppets. The time had come to recieve her 'Mojiretsu uiba', but everything changed when Forza Attacked the Stringweaver Tribe, Kidnapping a lot of Alices and Splitting the tribe up. to keep herself from being hunted, She fled to Initus and found herself a nice cave to live in...[/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aix Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Well, it's time I submitted my app. Be warned, there's is a pretty big description on the species and I'm not quite done yet. He's prolly OP, though. If he is, I'll be happy toning him down. [spoiler='Le App'] [b]Username:[/b] AixDivadis [b]Name: [/b]Lonn Dys'leidas (pronounced Dees-LIE-daz) [b]Alias/Nickname:[/b] Lord Frost, White Knight [b]Age: [/b]47 [b]Gender: [/b]Male [spoiler='Species'] The Lucifrine are a race that mainly dwell underground in beautiful glowing cities within giant cave systems to the north (Think Blackreach-type scenery, if you don't know what that is, search it up). They are generally a peaceful and reclusive race that live in harmony with each other and their environment, seldom coming in contact with the overground races. The ones that you would find above ground are usually young adventurers, seeking fame and fortune which their home does not offer and return when they've had their fill, or exiles and outlaws, like Lonn. They are noted for their bioluminescent skin and almost unbreakable metals. [spoiler='Physical Traits']Most visibly different physical trait of the Lucifrine race is their bioluminescent skin. They naturally give off cool, chemical light, usually bluish white, though some are turquoise-ish in hue and others may have a slight purplish tinge. The color of the light gets paler with the vehemence of the Lucefrine's emotions, extremely enraged Lucifrine are pure white, and become a soothing color when the Lucifrine is calm. If they are in full control of themselves (and many are as they practice discipline and mental control as well as psionic power) they can even turn the light off. The Lucifrine do not have hair, rather they have slightly duller colored and less bright bioluminescent very thin tendril/tentacles coming out of their head, which they can control and it does not hurt to cut. They have completely white eyes, irises and pupils, making some people believe that they don't have them at all, but it is distinguishable up close. Their skin, flesh, muscles and bones are all very malleable, making them quite resistant to blunt force and allowing them to squeeze through rather small spaces. They heal faster than most other races and can, after a year or two, sprout a new limb if one has been cut off or removed in some other way. Because of their malleability, they also can increase their lung, stomach and bladder capacities so they can hold their breath for longer than most races, eat more than some races and hold it in for a considerable time. They may seem soft, but their strength almost matches humans (though they can enhance their strength with psionic power) and their warriors are very well trained and highly disciplined so that no nation would attack them, their losses would be much greater than their gain. Lucifrine skin is insulated and they are quite resistant to cold, but they cannot stand heat and thus live in chilly caves. The Lucifrine's average lifespan is about 140 years. A Lucifrine of twenty years is considered an adolescent, one of thirty years is an adult and one of one hundred years is a senior and one of one hundred and thirty five years an elder.[/spoiler] [spoiler='Psionic Power']All Lucifrine exercise an amount of psionic power, they can all use telepathy, they do not have a language of their own and so they usually use telepathy, and those who have meditated and practiced for long years can even bend others to their will though those with strong will or determination can resist it. Most Lucifrine use telekinesis, which is usually based on raw talent, though it still requires plenty of practice. Mind reading is generally considered taboo and an invasion of privacy but it is used in interrogation of outsiders and criminals. Lucifrine don't have mana, though they can utilize magical artifacts. Their psionic power can create friction in the air, enough so that it seems they can control fire, they can pick up rocks with their mind and throw them and direct the flow of both water and air. Electricity can be created, though not in lethal amounts but can stun opponents. In a fight, the Lucifrine's psionic power is used to overwhelm the opponent's mind while they have to concentrate on engaging the Lucifrine in close combat. They can throw their opponent's back with telekinesis and also barrage them with any objects available. Lucifrine can read minds and anticipate their opponent's next move, so unless you can block them out of your mind, you would probably have to rely on instinct, adrenaline and berserk rages to fight.[/spoiler] [spoiler='Lucifrine Society']Lucifrine society is structured within individual city-states which govern their own and trade as well as share scientific and magical advances with each other. Lucifrine city-states are further divided into Houses, there are usually about twenty to fourty Houses of an average of three hundred people each. Each House is mainly self-sufficient, with their own farmlands, factories and mines manned by mana-powered automatons and homunculi, and trade only for greater variety or if they particularly like something. The city-states are ruled by the Council of Five, the five Heads of the five richest, most powerful or most influential Houses. Many Lucifrine also choose to join the Order, or are pressured by the Head of their House to join. The Order is a monastic group which practices martial arts, discipline and psionic ability. They are single-minded and the guardians of ancient artifacts of great power (:3 sounds cheesy). There is a temple in almost every Lucifrine city, but their main Citadel is located in the large metropolitan Raizenmoria. [spoiler='Lucifrine Attitude Vs. Outsiders']Outsiders, unless they have an important mission (like a diplomatic mission, a trade mission or quest of some sort) or good references, are not allowed within the city and are housed in a large building outside the city walls. Lucifrine consider themselves superior to most other mortal races who constantly squabble amongst themselves and cannot seem to live in peace. They do not discriminate, merely pity those inferior creatures. They do understand that even amongst those inferior races are good people and they treat those people with respect and as an equal.[/spoiler] [/spoiler] [spoiler='Lucifrine Technology'] The Lucifrine have been peacefully advancing their technology for millenia, undisturbed by other races. They are a people of very high intellect (any race with psionic power have high intellect) and they wish to perfect the world around them. By combining magic (found from other races and in artifacts and ruins), psionic ability and alchemy, they are able to create machines to do their labor work. They have also perfected the art of metalworking and create almost unbreakable titanium alloys for armors and weapons. Their armor is perfectly made and plated so that the seams are covered and the armor itself is very light. The Lucifrine have carefully observed health and nutrition. Their medical science is very advanced and they all know what food is healthy and what is not, they even have data on food from above ground. [/spoiler] [spoiler='Pros and Cons'] [spoiler='Pros'][list] [*]Flexible body, able to take lot's of blunt damage and fit through small spaces. [*]Fast regeneration and even limb regeneration (but over a long period of time) [*]Flexible lungs able to hold breath for considerable time. [*]Insulating skin for cold temperatures. [*]Bioluminescence [*]Psionic power, telekinesis, mental lightning, telepathy and some can even use mind control (but not Lonn). [/list] [/spoiler] [spoiler='Cons'][list] [*]Skin is easy to cut [*]Not resistant to heat [*]Inability to use proper magic [*]Slightly weaker than humans. [/list] [/spoiler] [/spoiler] [/spoiler] [spoiler='Appearance'] Lonn is tall, proud-looking and highly muscular, being temple warrior of the Order. His skin is unusually pale for his race, an icy white, and his long "hair" is the color of newly fallen snow. He generally allows it to flow gently behind him as if he were underwater. He has fierce-looking translucent tribal tattoos all over his body, signature to the Order, which show well against his bioluminescence. Lonn's face is very angular and he has high cheekbones. His nose is thin and slightly hooked, his mouth seems to always sneer at you, which he often does. Lonn wears full-body form-fitting titanium armor, including diamond-knuckled gauntlets and spiked boots, and a titanium mask that covers all the way past his chin, ears and most of his head. Though, despite his knight-like appearance, he doesn't seem to carry weapons of any sort beyond a small, very expensive-looking silver dagger he wears as a necklace. He wears a very thin, decorative but torn, white silk cloak. [/spoiler] [spoiler='Personality'] Lonn Dys'leidas is an arrogant and proud man who does not take insults easily. He is constantly driven to extreme effort by his belief that he is destined for something great, to be a king or a hero and believes that he is more important than anyone else. He does not give up, he will not back down from his goal. He does not value the lives of others, considering them nothing more than mere pawns to advance him in his path, the only difference is that some more useful than others and some completely useless, which he promptly gets rid of with a slash of his sword. He is somewhat impatient but quite cunning, able to manipulate others to his bidding and understands war strategy and court schemes and knows that creating alliances is often quite essential for his ascent to greatness. Lonn Dys'leidas used to lead his men by fear and example, he has a demonic bloodthirst, he is like a man possessed and enjoys nothing more than a nice fight or massacre from time to time. As the first to leap into battle, he goads his men, pushed and depraved by fear, but emboldened by his example, to follow suit. But he knows, now, how to but on the guise of compassion and of sympathy. He knows how to pretend to be kind. He knows what kind of leader people want, but though he is not that kind of leader, he could play the part. Once, Lonn may have been a compassionate being, taught the value of peace, harmony and life but his insane drive for power has slowly drained it from him. His suffering and wounds only serves to make him stronger. Lonn is formidable, imposing, an example of determination and never giving up, but he is also a depraved and scarred man. [/spoiler] [spoiler='Biography'] Lonn Dys'leidas is the third child of Zenonothé of House Dys'leidas who is the first son and heir of Patriarch Frieze, the oldest Councillor on Raizenmoria's Council of Five. Since he could walk, he was initiated into the Lucifrine's Order and trained as a Temple Guardian, trained to be the very best and perhaps someday take up the honor of Sentinel, the head of the Order. But Lonn did not wish to simply be a member of the order, not even just become the Sentinel. He dreamed of the world above him and the great many things to see. He was entranced by the stories told by retired adventurers who had returned to, once more, live in their homeland. Lonn also felt he was something great, he believed he could change the entire world and bring it to its knees before him. But, he knew he required power to change the world and he toiled relentlessly, going far beyond what was required. He trained until he dropped, every day repeated softly to himself [i]"One day, I will be the Greatest"[/i]. This determination combined with his natural talent made him one of the best soldiers the Order had ever brought out. Upon his initiation to manhood and full acceptance into the Order, when he put his hand upon a sacred artifact, the Quicksilver Blade, an unbreakable weapon that can change shape to suit it's owner's combat needs and has an evil sentient spirit living within it, to test his willpower. Lonn was not outright broken by the spirit's power, he was enticed by it's telepathic promises to bring him to greatness as long as he gets it out of the control of the Order. That night, he snuck into the guard compound, swiftly despatching the guards, but not before one of them raised the alarm. Lonn had to work quickly, he gave up all thoughts of stealth and gave in to haste. He broke the case with his psionically enhanced strength and took the sword. The sudden mental outburst of the sword was twentyfold the power during the initiation. Of course, the sword both hid its strength and was also restrained by it's small sheath. The Order's guard's stormed into the room. Taking advantage of Lonn's sudden panic and fear, the sword overwhelmed his weakened mental defenses and took control of his instincts. Lonn escaped, but not before slaying fifteen of his kinsmen and a near death experience against the Order's artillery. Struck by the horror of his deeds, he was almost destroyed, but the sword reassured him that it was necessary. It whispered praises and promises into his ears, it knew what Lonn wanted to hear and took it to it's advantage. The Quicksilver Blade was the weapon of commanders and generals, it was the sword of kings and emperors, it's sole goal for it's existence was to be a weapon suited for a leader... no, rather, it is the weapon for a dictator. Lonn joined the Forza clan. He performed unspeakable deeds and ascended in their ranks to become one of their top warriors and commanders, but he wished for more than that. He wanted to be a King. Not even leadership of the Forza Clan would satisfy him. No, he must be King of Penial. He knew he had to take this one step at a time, but he realized that he was not favored among the higher ups in the Forza Clan. There was no way he could become their leader. He had gravely insulted many of them and he knew it. It was time to take his chances elsewhere. He needed a fresh start. He had gotten used to how this world works now. He knew how to manipulate people, to control them by their desires, dangle their dearest wishes in front of them and hold a sword behind them. The Rebellion. Yes, he would go to the rebels and offer his services. He would rise amongst them and win their favor. He would slowly gain leadership and control and he would rise to become... King. [/spoiler] [spoiler='Combat and Psychic Info'] [spoiler='Armor']Lonn's armor is made of a very light titanium alloy and it is close to unbreakable, titanium being one of the things closest in hardness to diamond. It is sleek and practical, designed from decades of intense research to be optimal for a Lucifrine and was tailored to fit him perfectly. Lonn, after leaving the Lucifrine, had a small amount of psionite, an anti-psionic power, put on his armor to prevent major psychic attacks and the psionite is [i]tuned[/i] so that it does not interfere with Lonn's own psychic ability. Lonn's armor also has diamond knuckles so Lonn can utilize unarmed combat when necessary (though it is unlikely that he would now since he has the Quicksilver Blade).[/spoiler] [spoiler='Quicksilver Blade']Though it is often called that, it is not actually made of mercury, rather some legendary alloy that allows it to be softened, manipulated at will and hardened to an extreme degree. It can transform into any weapon the owner demands as well as being able to turn into multiple weapons or even a shield. It's weakness is that it cannot leave a fifteen feet radius of it's owner. It is very heavy, but that is not a problem because it is controlled by it's owner's will. Lonn's favorite transformations include: Ten Longswords that just float around and rain attacks, a giant ten-feet long Halberd which he swings in gigantic arcs, a shield and a spinning lance for drilling and piercing. However, If he feels like having a fair-ish fight, he simply brings out two bastard swords.[/spoiler] [spoiler='Psionic Power']Lonn's psionic power is great enough to throw up to a weight of five hundred pounds, he is not particularly fine with his telekinesis, he is prone to breaking really fragile things and he can only move that which he can see. He is able to read minds (though you can protect yourself from scrutiny with psionite) though often pretends he can't. He likes using mental lightning to very temporarily freeze/paralyse his opponents. Lonn's psionic training is rather limited as he only received basic training.[/spoiler] [/spoiler] [/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asriel Dreemurr Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Well, seems we're going to need some characters not in the rebellion. I'll probably make one myself, but it seems we've a sufficient number of rebels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piercer of the Heavens Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 [spoiler=App]Username: Piercer of the Heavens Name: Tapio Nyyrikki(It’s supposedly Finnish, so if you want to know how to pronounce it use google.) Age: 26 Nickname: N/A Gender: Male [spoiler=Appearance:] Guy in the front-middle(shirtless, long hair, tattoo on shoulders) [img]http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2011/140/f/0/the_fire_tribe_by_ronairis-d3geuya.jpg[/img][/spoiler] Species: Human Side: Neutral/Geld Weapon(s): N/A [spoiler=Special Abilities:] Were-Magic(Don’t know what to call it so I’m calling it this.) [spoiler=Explanation]Were-magic is really simple to understand, but very hard to master. Essentially it can turn you into a were(animal). By the way “were” translates to “man” in case you did not know. There are rules and risk to this magic though, it’s not just turn half animal and kick ass. For you to be able to turn into a were(animal) you must first make what is known as a pact with said animal. It really isn’t a pact since the user can force it onto the animal, although the transformation is stronger and easier to use when the animal that the user made a pact trust the user. When making a pact the user summons a magic circle around the animal, this circle floats mid-way to the height of the animal, and then shrinks into the animal. The animal might not even know that you’re doing it since they don’t feel anything. What really happens is that you kind of take part of the animal’s soul away and is absorbed by the user. This allows you to turn in to that were(animal) since you contain a little bit of them inside you. The risks that come with this magic is that the more you stay in the transformed state, the harder that animal side is to control. Many users of this magic have been known to lose control of the animal side and stay in that transformed state for the rest of their life; acting like that animal. There is a good side to this, the less aggressive the animal the easier to control. Another risk is that if the animal that a pact was made with dies the rest of their soul is absorbed into your body. This makes turning into the “were” version of that animal exponentially harder to control, but the transformation does become stronger. If you transform while you’re either physically or mentally weak there is a high chance that the animal side will take control. Like any other magic the more you use it the better you get at it. In this case the more you use a certain transformation the more time you are able to stay in it. You can even reach a point in which you will no longer lose control, but that takes years of usage to obtain. An actual were(animal) is stronger than a person using this magic, unless the pact animal is dead, then they have the same strength. One last thing with this magic is that it has a thing called a “Resonance State.” This can only happen when you are in a “were” state and the animal you made a pact with is there with you(same one as whatever “were” state you’re in). This turns that animal into were(animal) so it can fight along with you. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Current “Were” states.]Weretiger Werebat Werelobster Werebutterfly Wererat [/spoiler][/spoiler] [spoiler=Other information:] Along his travels he met an tiger cub who was injured. The mother was killed for her skin, but the poachers did not know about the cub. Tapio raised it ever since then and has a pact with it. This tiger accompanies him everywhere. The tigers name is Kuu(its female).[/spoiler] [spoiler=Personality:] Tapio is unlike the men in his tribe. Most men are “manly” men, this includes being sexist, always trying to be in charge, etc. He actually believes that men and woman are equal. He enjoys to things with people, usually as a supporting role and not the leader. He has good charms and is good with the ladies do to his kindness, although he himself is oblivious to the “being good with the ladies” part. This has gotten him in weird situation with girls, were they are flirting with him, but he does not know it. His kindness isn’t just to people, it also is toward animals, due to how he was raised. He thanks whatever animal he is eating for giving its life to feed him(we all know that the animal didn’t give its life because it wanted it to…). He does not care for the ridicule he gets because of the way he dresses when he goes into bog cities, he is proud of his heritage.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Bio:] Tapio was born into the Nyyrikki tribe, which is located on the border of Sarro Marco and Gier, a few miles from the ocean. This tribe resides in the middle of a jungle, where not many people visit. The only people that do are either traders or scholars. This is either to get obsidian weapons, armors, decorations, etc.(which the Meilikki tribe are expert makers at) or to study the jungle and wildlife in it. The tribe is, well kind of tribal, where men rule everything. When he was born his tribe was attacked by a group of thieves, there to steal the secret to “were” magic. You see only four tribes know this type of magic, all of which are friendly with one another when they do meet. The [url="http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2011/140/f/0/the_fire_tribe_by_ronairis-d3geuya.jpg"]Nyyrikki[/url] tribe is located all the way west of the continent, the [url="http://th05.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/f/2011/324/6/e/the_wind_tribe_by_ronairis-d4gqh7b.jpg"]A[/url][url="http://th04.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/f/2011/140/0/a/the_frost_tribe_by_ronairis-d3gbha3.jpg"]nnikki[/url] tribe is located at the very tip of Farale, the [url="http://th05.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/f/2011/324/6/e/the_wind_tribe_by_ronairis-d4gqh7b.jpg"]Tellervo[/url] tribe is at the most eastern point of Silber, and finally the [url="http://th02.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/f/2011/215/6/c/the_nature_tribe_by_ronairis-d43fwwf.jpg"]Tuulikki[/url] is at the border of Gier, Privat, and Um.(Pictures are just so you can know the dress style, not that those are the only people in the tribe ). All four tribes were not only known for their “were” magic but for the great warriors that came from them, both male and female. These thieves were no ordinary thieves though; they were very skilled in magic and knew exactly what to do. They ambushed the tribe, but the tribe was still able to hold off the attack. Many were killed by the thieves, one of which was Tapio’s father. According to one thief, they were sent by the Forza, who wanted more magic to be able to defeat their enemies. The thief also told them that not only were they getting attacked, but the other three tribes were also going to get attacked. He didn’t know if they were going to hold back the attack like Tapio’s tribe did. So Tapio ended up being raised by his mother, who taught him to be respectful to woman, not to be like the other tribe members. Once Tapio reached the age of 19 his tribe was attacked again, but this time a full scale attack. Once again though, the tribe held its ground. This time though Tapio fought with his comrades, unlike when he was born. After the battle the tribe elder told the young warriors about the previous attack and how their sister tribes were getting attacked as well. That’s when Tapio decided that he would go and check on the sister tribes, except since he was the only one who wanted to he did that journey alone. Once he had check the other three tribes they all had the same story, they were attacked but they managed to fend off the attackers. So Tapio, now 27, then took it upon himself to stop the Forza. It was time the revolt against Forza...[/spoiler][/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is immune to poisons and most status effecting ailments.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#5A5A5A][font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Other information: She's a medicine woman believes in the power of herbs and natural remedies.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#5A5A5A][font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3][spoiler: Personality:] Ayana is the kind old woman that no one has an unkind word to say about. She comes with all of the mannerisms of the kind sage lady. She's great with kids, she's always willing to baby sit and she repeatedly gives candy to the neighborhood children. Even the soldiers refer to her as Granny because she is known for providing them with shelter and bountiful baked goods. In her old age Ayana has a thirst for knowledge and wanting to experience new things, while she still can. When she is not spoiling the young like a grandmother or babysitting she has her head in a book trying to learn as much as she can about the world. In terms of combat never underestimate her power or her ferocity. Like the sea she can be calm one moment and a torrential storm the next. Its akin to how a mother bear and eagle acts as when their babies are attacked. [/spoiler][/size][/font][/color] [font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#5a5a5a][size=3][spoiler: Bio:] When Ayana was born in a small village a shaman had told her parents that she was one of the chosen children to become an Orisha. This would be the most trying experience in her parents lives. For to become a full blown Orisha one must make a pact with the Earth soon after birth, so the parents had to bury their living child in the Earth for two days. After those two long agonizing days Ayana's parents dug up their child expecting the worst, but in actuality she was fine and still crying no less. She had become a full fledged Orisha. Orishas are the embodiments of the Earth itself. Agents of Gia who can use the Earth to their need. They watch over it and aid all of the creatures that dwell on it. Due to this connection with the Earth all Orishas have some power that involves nature. [/size][/color][/font] [font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#5a5a5a][size=3]After the nightmarish experience known as her birth it Ayana had a pretty normal life. Her people were pretty much into herbal remedies and mud baths so it was natural to her that she never noticed something weird about her physiology. She doesn't age, well she does age but at an alarmingly slow rate. Mostly because of her connection to earth every time she makes contact with it the Earth will replenish her energy, stamina, an her youthful appearance. Nevertheless like stated before her life was normal. She learned to use her abilities to the best that she could though it was hard for her to use them towards violence with her not being a violent person. About the age of 30 she decided to go venture out into the world and learned of the budding feud between the Forza and the Geld. It would be improper for her to pick a side though seeing as all of Earth's creatures deserve a fair shot. So she did what she thought would be the natural thing to do and that was abstain from any interaction with the opposing parties. She had made a little home for herself on the coast of the island of Medius. And as she was comfortable with her life their she did here word of the rising tension in the town of Initus and that is when she realized that as a beacon of the Earth she should not allow such mortal blood to be shed. Therefore she packed up all her things and set sale for Initus hopefully joining the rebel army.
