[S-U/D] Aina - The return of Sorvahr

Wow, if this wasn't a role play, it would have been a damn nice story to read. I read the whole story, and I'm keen to join. I'd like to reserve the Temple Knight. I'll be adding the bio in a moment for approval.

EDIT:

My bad, I need to know if the Temple Knight is specifically male. I see the character being referred to as 'him'. I was hoping to make a female Temple Knight, but I also don't mind making a male Temple Knight for a change... But if possible, I'd prefer to create a female Temple Knight. Is that possible?

Boo! I had my eyes set on the temple kngith Monarch. Ah wells, first come first serve.

I want to reserve prince please! Yay! I haven't joined a fresh RP in ages so this should be fun! EDIT ~ Dammit I reserved prince weeks ago

DAMNATION!

Hm.... may i import a character i made?

Waiting on answers, but hey. Tipsynaruto If you want the Temple Knight, you could take that. I wouldn't mind going for the head of the military forces. The same question would apply either way.

Hm, well you applied first, so you pick. Ill get the left over or make a non important character

Joey spoke to be about being a prince as well, I'll allow three children of the king and queen, therefor, you can all be brothers, brothers and sister, or brother and sisters, whatever you so please.

@Monarch Yeah, it can be a female, I'll reword the description.

@Tipsynaruto Any position works fine. Monarch came first so she gets the position. I'm also open to suggestions for more positions. Also, yes, imports are possible so long as you add the information I have above.

Squee, I told you that I was going to make a really OP character. Just tell me if I need to dumb it down a bit. I tried not to go too far…

But if you need me to cut back a bit, just tell me. I’ve got no problems doing so.


I'll be working on my other character here soon. Unlike this one, she will actually be a very likable character.



Name: Ruexian Weis

Gender: Male

Age: 78 (With the appearance of a 27 year old man)

Race: Human

Occupation: Head of the Magical Arts

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Appearance:

Ruexian is a rather tall person standing in at 6,3. He has long, white, straight hair that extends just past his shoulders. His clothes typically consist of traditional Mage clothing, such as robes and the what not. However, most people often mistake the bottom of his robes as some kind of dress like garment when in all reality; it’s just really baggy pants. When in combat, he wears shoulder armor with deadly looking spikes coming out of them. His clothes as well as his battle armor consist of mostly black colors with blue outline.

His eyes vary in color, and do not stay one color for very long. They change primarily from blue, to green, to red. He has no control over this. As he uses more and more magic, you will see black markings start to come over his body. This does not harm him, but the more magic he uses, the more damage it does on his mind. Given enough time, he could go completely rational to bat shit insane as he uses more magic.

Personality: Ruexian is almost completely withdrawn. That’s not to say he’s shy, he’s just an ass. He is very direct, very rude, and very condescending. He fears no man, no woman, no king, nor God. Smart talking Ruexian is enough to get you irreversibly harmed. He tolerates no nonsense, and he doesn’t care much for jokes unless they’re his own. He can’t grasp the concept of proper human emotion, and as such, he is a complete sociopath.

Most people find him to be a pain to deal with, and for good reason, as he finds it a pain to deal with everyone. Quick to anger, quick to judge, and quick to strike, Ruexian is not one that most people want to deal with often. His temper has legends that go back for ages. It’s rumored that he’s killed a bartended for handing him the wrong drink, and that he has killed a man for snoring too loud.

In combat, Ruexian is one to be feared. He can end a fight in a few seconds, but he never does. Like a cat, he prefers to play with his food before he eats it. He enjoys drawing things out, and torturing his victims.

The worst thing about him is that when his mind is rational, he is completely logical thinking. If it serves a greater purpose, he will leave thousands to die to complete his overall goal. Speaking of his mind, having so much power does take its toll. The more he uses, the more his mind slips away from him, moving from completely logical, to spontaneously random and insane. There are times when one can catch him saying a sentence that has nothing to do with anything in the middle of a conversation because of this.

He also has the tendency to speak to himself… and argue with himself.

Abilities: Most, if not all of Ruexian’s abilities are magical in nature. Quite a few of them take next to no toll on him, or any time to charge. (And as such, the ones that do will be listed in the “magic” section. The abilities here are rather small time.)

Speed Enhancement – Using his magic, he can increase, or decrease if need be, his speed.

Fire – Using magic, he can fire flames from his hands (or mouth) very similar to a flamethrower, or fire orbs of fire. The temperature of these flames can go as high as 200 degrees. (Something akin to raining fire from the sky takes time, and has a drain)

Water – Taking moisture from the air, or water from bodies of water around him, he can turn this element into a weapon. If there is enough moisture around, he could potentially drown a man while he’s on dry land. (Only to be used on NPC’s really. And doing things such as creating a tsunami, takes a little time and has a drain)

Lightning – He can shoot lightning from his fingertips with ease. (Creating a lightning storm has a drain)

Wind – Small uses such as blowing a man off of his feet is usually no problem for Ruexian. (However, creating hurricanes or tornados requires time and a drain)

Metal – Anything metal can be bent and moved to Ruexian’s will with no problems, this only applies to a radius of 9 feet. (Destroying a huge metal structure takes a drain)

Shadow/Darkness – Using shadow, he can create three long arm-like tendrils from his back. They look like extremely long arms with hands at the end of them. Using these, he can fire spells of other elements through them. This effectively means that he can fire eight different spells at once; six from the tendrils, two from his hands. Other uses of this element include surrounding a person in a shadow-like substance that causes their skin to rot on contact. (The bigger the area of shadow, the bigger the drain. However, used lightly, there typically is no drain.)

Using this power, he can also teleport long distances in the blink of an eye.

Earth – He can move earth and rock to his will. (The bigger the size, the bigger the drain. However, for the most part, this is typically no drain… unless trying to move a mountain; that takes time and takes a huge drain.)

Telekinesis – He can use this to lift a human body or other objects. There is no “bigger” version of it.

Magic: These are skills that otherwise take time, or take a drain, or both. Using any of the following in excess will cause black markings to appear on Ruexian’s body and cause him to slowly descend into madness.

Fire – Creating huge storms of fire, raining fire from the sky, and creating huge walls of flame and otherwise “meteor” like things do take time, and as such they do take a drain. As such, once he uses a little too much of this, you’ll start to see the appearances of the “black markings” mentioned earlier as he slowly starts to descend into madness.

Water – As said before, creating tsunamis or using the moisture in the air to creating large balls of water would cause a drain and take a little time.

Lightning – Using this to create large thunderstorms takes a drain, and time.

Wind – Creating Hurricanes and tornados takes time and a drain. Using this combined with fire takes twice the time and the drain, but is ten times the deadly.

Metal – Destroying a large metal tower takes time and a drain as opposed to simply using it to cause a sword lying on the ground to fly at an enemy. With a charge, he can increase the 9 feet radius to a higher limit. However, it takes time.

Shadow – One of the most deadly spells causes a large shadow to spill out over where he stands in a 100 meter radius. Anything standing in it will become covered in a liquid shadow substance. Once it makes skin contact, the victim’s skin starts to rot almost immediately. This doesn’t take much time, but the drain it takes is massive.

Earth – Moving huge boulders or parts of mountains takes a lot of time, and a pretty big drain.

Necromancy – He can’t bring back the dead, so to speak, but what he can do is reanimate a corpse to fight for him. No matter what the corpse may be, be it animal, child, adult, etc. This will always take a drain on him.

Skills/Talents: Experimenting – The one place no one wants to be is strapped to a table having Ruexian standing over them. He has no qualms or problems with human experimentation… whether the person on the table is alive, dead, conscious or unconscious doesn’t matter, and is entirely subjective.

History: The only thing greater than Ruexian’s power is how he managed to acquire them. Most Mages earn their power by intense studying. Ruexian only did a quarter of that. He was always one to bend or outright destroy traditions and rules, and the ultimate breaking he did was the breaking of traditional learning. Mages in his time were all twisted and corrupt, and Ruexian was no different. However, one could say that he was less twisted and corrupt at the time.

So it was of little surprise to anyone when he set out to learn things in a different way at the age of 23. He was a formidable Mage at the time, but he wanted more… so much more than what he had. A few months after he left society, he learned a new way of learning. He found that by killing another Mage, he could then absorb their soul and learn everything that they knew in an instant. He wouldn’t have to go about it the way they did. He wouldn’t have to sit by and study and spend decades of his life learning.

He would learn everything in a flash and all it would cost him was blood on his hands. The first thing he did was destroy all physical evidence pointing out that one could learn by absorbing a soul. The second thing he did was destroy all physical evidence that could teach others to absorb a soul. After that, he returned to society, and started a small war between himself and every other Mage in Aina. No one joined his side, and for good reason; they had no way to trust him, and odds are, Ruexian would only absorb them as well.

His return was met with fire, blood, and a small magical war that would last four years. The “war” was kept small, and very little ever found out about it. Ruexian single handedly attacked the academy of Mages and everyone that stood in his way either died or was physically maimed to the point where no one could recognize them. For every Mage that he killed, he took their power. In just four short years, he had learned more than any Mage that had lived to see 200 years.

It was then, after four years of fighting, killing, and maiming that Ruexian eventually was able to corner the Council of Mages. In a battle that lasted four hours, Ruexian walked out the victor. Being filled to the brim with power, he singled handedly rebuilt the academy, and he would rule it himself. There was no longer a Council, there was only him. He opened the doors, and allowed people to come back in and learn. The corruption of the Council was gone, only to be replaced by his own corruption.

However, absorbing so much power came at a price. He could no longer age, which to this day causes others the question how he came by his power, as no one should be able to stay the age of 27 for so many years. His power also crippled his mind. There are times when he can’t think straight, he always has a headache, he speaks to himself in hushed tones, and there are times when he says something that he can’t control in the middle of a conversation.

This has left him a bitter, remorseless, withdrawn, uncaring, and dangerous sociopath.

He now rests as Head of the Magical Arts, a God in his own right.

I'm willing to accept this on the condition that you add a range to the Metal abilities. The reason being that melee characters are meant to be the only ones who can stop mages (Other than the head of magic, since that guy is meant to be near godly) and eliminating that entirely makes him immortal in a sense. Add a range to it and i will be pleased.

Also, the main occupations, like stated in the original post (That I edited in) really can't be done without some powerplaying, but the more powerplaying, the greater the consequences later in the RP.

Me thinks I'mma go ahead and let you pick the range for me. That way, I know it'll be right, if you don't mind.

At max I'd say a good 9 feet when it has no charge, your free to make it so that he can increase this range through charge though, but I leave that up to you

And it's done.

One more thing, the King/Queen/Prince/Princess all have commanding authority over any other characters, so bare that in mined.

Name: Kirile Merova (Most just call her Kiri)

Gender: Female

Age: 18

Race: Elf

Occupation: Great Healer – Youngest

Alignment: Neutral Good

Appearance:
Kiri stands in at around 5’6. She’s not short, but she’s not exactly tall either. She has a very slender build, meaning she’s pretty skinny and light framed. Her hair is long, but not overly so as it only goes slightly past her mid back. Her hair is a blue kind of color, and it sports a solitary braid just behind her left ear. There is no braid on her right side. Her eyes are a bright blue color, and she is often complemented on them. Her ears are pierced, and she often wears tiny loop earrings. Being so small, Kiri cannot lift more than 30 pounds without straining herself.

Personality: Kiri is somewhat of an… oddball. She is somewhat withdrawn from most people, but she’s not shy. She can be timid around certain people who make their presence known, but for the most part, she will speak when spoken to. Most people are kind of put off from speaking to her as she is never the first to say hello unless instructed otherwise. Her background and upbringing have taught her to be very reserved, but they neglected to teach her that introductions are polite.

Almost contrasting her silent personality is her determination to help others. She wanted to be a healer for the sole purpose of helping those around her. She doesn’t like being useless or helpless, so she became a healer to help herself and others.

Once one gets to know her, Kiri can often be found to be a voice of reason. She doesn’t mind giving advice to those she is close to. And more often than not, those that do find themselves to be close to will find that she will always heal their wounds when they are around. For example, if one found themselves with a papercut, she would heal them. However, if one found themselves with a papercut and they were not close to her, she wouldn’t care.

She knows her skills in healing aren’t that great, but she is very eager to learn, and eager to listen. When someone with more skill than her in healing speaks, she makes it a point to listen and learn. What makes her quiet is that she is somewhat afraid of people. Not just humans, she’s a little scared of everyone. She knows from history what evils everyone is capable of, and she doesn’t want to be part of it. Therefore, she finds it very hard to trust others, and once given a reason to distrust someone, she will never, ever, trust you.

Kiri tries to think as logically as possible, but she isn’t perfect, and at times she can let her emotions get the best of her. However, most find that she typically has the best interests at heart, and once you get to know her, she can be one of the kindest individuals you ever meet.

One of her greatest fears is being held captive or being taken against her will, she also cannot stand any amount of pain. This is rooted in a childhood experience she had as a child. (To be explained in History) Some of the things she loves the most are cats and books.

Abilities: Being a healer and an Elf, Kiri doesn’t do much anything else. And as such, her ability list is rather… small.

Ball of Light – Being afraid of the dark, Kiri has the ability to create a ball of light that follows her when she is in the dark. It is bright enough to light up a small room and comfort her. In case of emergency, she can use this ball to catch a man off guard should they attempt to come after her. It would only serve as a temporary distraction, and it would more than likely only serve to anger her pursuers more.

Small healing – For small things like a cut, or a scratch, Kiri can use her abilities to quickly heal herself or anyone else.

Small telekinesis – Kiri can lift small objects to her, but nothing above ten pounds.

Magic:

Major Healing – Even though her powers are weak compared to her superiors, Kiri can heal small wounds, and a few big ones. If someone has been stabbed, she could heal it. However, for her it is a big wound, and as such, healing it would cause her to get tired and perhaps take some time.


History: Kiri was born an only child to an already small family. In fact, out of her family, she had ever known her Mother and Father. They treated her as kindly as parents could treat a daughter, and they both loved her very much. However, one day her Mother slowly died of an illness that no normal doctor was able to cure. This sparked her initial desire to become a healer.

After her Mother died, her Father took her and they moved to Aina. Her Father started teaching her things about healing, but there was only so much he could do. From then on, she read from books… but that didn’t help her much better. While she loved reading them, you couldn’t learn healing properly from just books.

Her Father was somewhat of a rich man. So a few days after their arrival to Aina, men had barged into their home and they took her for ransom. This experience irreversibly scarred her. While they didn’t do anything to harm her, they did manage to scare her like no one else before. They kept her for three days against her will before her Father managed to pay them off.

But it had turned out that he had fought with them first. When she saw her Father, he was beaten and bruised. And once again, Kiri could do nothing. After a while, she asked her Father to send her away for training, and he did just that. At the age of 16 she was accepted by two of the Great Healers, and she would study under them. In just a year, she learned more than she could have ever dreamed from reading books. While she still wasn’t anything great, she was well on her way, and she loved her studies.

Her Father would eventually succumb to the same illness that killed her Mother. She pleaded with her superiors to help him, but they had told her that he had already made his peace, and he had moved on. While it upset her greatly, she only used to fuel her inspiration to continue her training.

She is now 18 years old, and she is still learning. She is now a certified Great Healer, but she is the youngest of the three. She’s proud of her title, but still very wary.

Here comes the Temple Knight. Just realized the rules state that we take 3 characters per person? Do we? And the ages of Elf. Do they live as long as humans? Or shorter? Or even longer?

EDIT: Done with the changes.

Name:
Ecystera Rasmorya

Gender:
Female

Age:
24

Race:
Elf

Occupation:
Temple Knight

Alignment:
Lawful Neutral

Appearance:
Ecystera (Image too Big)

For an elf, she is rather short, at 175cm. Her jet black hair reaches down below her waist, and her body is generally tattooed with runic markings as a symbol of her Temple Knighthood.

Personality:
A straight arrow to the extreme. Ecystera hides her emotions in order to follow her orders without question - be it the ethical or unethical. She does not seem to have a moral compass, acting solely as a tool to be commanded about. In conversations, she is just as emotionless, rarely ever smiling.

However, she does show anger whenever anyone shows a slight bit of scorn for the Royal Family. Nothing else really come close to getting her angry, even insulting her directly - or even spreading bad rumors about her and getting exposed.

In battle, she is cool, quiet and merciless. Her only aim is to win, and even if it warrants the death of thousands, it is the death of thousands she work towards - and almost inevitably achieve.

Abilities:
Weapon Proficiency

The way of the Temple Knight required that she be skilled in swordsmanship. As such, she focused very heavily on swordsmanship when younger, and can now be considered a master with the blade. Her area of expertise is with the long sword, though she is just as capable with other types of swords - with significantly less skill, however.

She is also able to wield other types of weapons with skill, but the level of proficiency cannot match to her with a long sword.

Warriors' Agility

Having trained amongst the knights, fighting off bandits, rouge mercenaries, and other criminals, Ecystera has developed a swift way of maneuvering about the battlefield. (I'm referring to parkour)

Fire

Her worst element, she is only capable of small embers just enough to start a campfire, but paired with her wind manipulation, she can create an inferno... Well, if you wait for the fire to gain strength and, uh, momentum... ...

Water

Her next favorite element, paired with her wind manipulation, she is able to gather moisture to create a body of water that can be used for various purposes... Mostly non-combat purposes, however.

Metal

Although she could have studied deeper into magically manipulating metal, she is only capable of holding back metallic items... smaller and lighter than weapons.

Magic:
Ecystera's specialty lies in Wind manipulation, but as magic requires that she learns all elements, and because of her Elvish heritage, she also has the ability to use other elements. Her more embarrassing element manipulations are above.

Wind Weapons

Summoning her weapons with a brief chant that takes about 5 seconds at most, Ecystera can keep the weapons with her for at most half a minute. These weapons follow her every orders, and will not harm her in any way. She can stab herself with it and not be hurt, or even toss it on the ground and call it back to herself.

The weapons, which can be of any kind (but not extraordinarily huge; it is still restrained to the normal weapon size), are grey with a sparkle around it. Anyone that touches it, even lightly, will be cut. It cannot hold against metal, but it can cut flesh. In other words, this wind weapon cannot be used to parry physical weapon attacks, but it can 'go right through' and attack the enemies' exposed flesh. (If fully armored for the targeted body parts, the wind weapon is useless.)

E.G. Slashing at a man wearing a breastplate. The wind weapon will not slice through metal, nor will it be able to cut flesh within the breast plate.

Wind Manipulation

This refers to the other ways she can manipulate the wind - other than forming them into weapons. She can use the wind to bolster her speed. By focusing all the wind in one direction, she naturally pushes herself forward, and combined with her running speed, she technically moves faster.

However, because it takes time to change direction, slowing down takes more effort to do so. The same applies to her enemy (And allies).

She can also use the wind to levitate herself. Levitating would, however, restrict her movements as she will not be able to move while in the air. She can, however, jump in one direction, and use the wind to propel her further than her normal jump would.

Ecystera is also capable of firing wind projectiles at her enemies. However, if well armored, the projectile will not have any effect.

Lightning Bolts

To a much lesser extent, she can control lightning. It is yellow, and generally meant for armored units. Her bolt can only have a maximum of 3 branches, and with a maximum distance of 1m per branch. The maximum range of her bolt, however, is 5m.

Rising Darkness

Ecystera's next area of focus after the element of Wind. The element of darkness is well recognized for its dangers and strength. Although not her strongest element, she is able to enhance her physical strengths in darkness. When in 'darkness', including shadows in day, she is able to move faster, hit harder... etc. The enhancement is mostly in speed, and still not to superhuman levels.

Earthen Spikes

Ecystera can manipulate earth to some extent, far lesser than Darkness and Wind, but slightly more than Lightning. She can call up a few earthen spikes to toss at her enemies at speeds equivalent to a softball tossed at top speed by a professional. The maximum of spikes that may be summoned at any one time is 3.

Alternatively, she can simply summon a huge spike from the bottom to impale her foes. Only one can be summoned, but it reaches up to 3 meters, and is easy to avoid (rumbling in the ground for about 4 seconds before emerging at similar speed with spikes being tossed.)


Skills/talents:
Champion Swimmer

Ecystera is not only good on ground, but in water as well. She swims at speeds that is unmatched thus far.

History:

Born to Elven parents, she was raised to be an ordinary girl living an ordinary life, but she did not embrace the destiny that her parents defined for her. Contrary to their hopes, she chose the path of death. She wanted eagerly to be a Temple Knight, inspired previously when she witnessed how a Temple Knight literally changed the entire tide of the battle with just his participation in the battle alone.

It was a definite loss for the defenders, who were severely outnumbered by bandits. Not only were they outnumbered, they were also outclassed, and essentially had no way of winning until the Temple Knight showed up and wrecked havoc amongst the ranks of the bandits.

A loss became a resounding victory, and from then on, Ecystera knew what she wanted to be, and her parents could do little to stop her. They could only help her along her path, and that was they ultimately chose to do.

They engaged the best mage with all their life savings, and made sure the most skillful swordsman taught her all that was necessary. She, on her part, made good her parents' investment, paying such intense attention to her lessons that her teachers were sometimes intimidated by it - especially since she would chide them for not focusing on the lesson.

With such focus and desire to learn, Ecystera soon finds herself mastering the blade and several magical elements at the age of 15. Still, it was a tender age to attempt to join the Temple Knight, so she decided it would be more appropriate to start as a mercenary - as a reputation would be a fairly positive leverage when requesting for the Temple Knight position.

She works as a freelancing mercenary for about 7 years, slowly gaining fame for being the 'Invincible' who knew no defeat. They gave her all sort of nicknames, but most alluded to her superiority in battle. When she felt her reputation was strong enough, she went to request for a Temple Knight position.

There were several tests involved, but those meant little to her. Coupled with her reputation, she managed to get the position by age 23. She has been holding the position for a year since then.

(On a side note, when she took on mercenary jobs, she frequently sends back money to her parents as 'payback'. She still does.)

Ah well if there's more than one prince that's all fine with me!

Alright, I'll work my bio around Josh's bio, so it will be done when it gets done.
