Deep into the territory of Karethia, students of the Order Camp study and train to become defenders of the abstract force of Order. There are two Divisions - the Light Division, which protects the Shrine of Order, and the Dark Division, which protects the Shrine of Chaos.

In the training camp of the Light Division (otherwise known as the Vargas Camp), Ferram, a skilled 19-years old man, trains as a Celestial Knight - a knight who uses the forces of the Sky, of the Stars and most importantly the Moon to aid in his battle by either offensive or defensive means. The instructors expect the best of him as there was rarely any Celestial Knight in both Divisions, and his powers are promising.

This is the current prologue. The plot will come later. On to rules:
  • You can only have one character, villain or hero. Sorry, just one.
  • Try inventing an original class. Anyway, im looking for someone as a Fenrir Knight - someone who uses the forces of wind and earth - and a summoner.
  • And the general RP-ing rules.
CHARACTER
Name. Last name not needed.
Gender, Age.
Allignment. Order or Chaos.
Class. See second rule.
Division (only if Order). Light or Dark.
Weapon of Choice.
Special Ability. Three or less.(e.g. if bow is used, Snipe, Tri-Fire, use of special arrows)
Strenghts and Weaknesses. 100% SUN 70% FIRE means you take normal sun damage but you only take 70% FIRE damage. Also state Base Strength, Base Magic and Base Defense. (e.g. Celestial Knights are strong against Sun and Moon, have balanced magic and offense, but below average defense)
Short Bio. A little goings-on your char's life. Be sure to include important events (e.g. your mother fell into an uncurable illness and died XX years ago)

MY CHARACTER
FERRAM
`
MALE, 19 YEARS
`
ORDER
`

-BASE DEFENSE = 7
`
Ferram is a student at the Order Camp for 5 months and is one of the best of the 1st year students. Her mother, who was Elite Order Knight for the Light Division, maintained her duty for 20 years - she motivated him in joining the camp. His father passed away when he was 7.

A bit more story would be nice mate. Are the Chaos shrine defenders bad guys etc.? Can you have any kind of abilities and if not what are the limitations? It seems like an interesting RP and I wanna join but not without knowing whats going on properly :)
 
Thanks for the support!
So, more about abilities and limitations.
-Be balanced! Don't put overpowered abilities ("Kill Instantly" etc.). Put the abilities you commonly use in RPGs and other RPs, but make them relate to your class (Dont make a white mage with an ability such as Jump). Should i put more examples?
`Red Mage with Doublecast, Red Magic (Basic black&white mgc) and Mana Sword - use mp to enhance damage.
`Mystic Paladin, with Seiken (Holy Sword in JP), WHMagic and Cover.
You see, that's very FF like, but we can be more diverse.Try 2 common abilities and 1 original one (Seiken, Mana Sword like above)
Im tired...sorry...see ya later
 
Ahh thats better, I'll write up a bio when I have some free time :D
 
I am going to use a modified version of Koffin XD Oh and i geuss i will take the place of Fenrir Knight, il kind of make my own version of it >< Seems how im not completley sure what it is

Name:Koffin Shepherd

Gender:Male

Age:19

Allignment:Order

Division:Light

Class:Fenrir Knight (Fenrir is a mythological wolf beast creature with amazing feroucity and streangth and in FF it is clouds bike, i will base this class upon both of these attributes)

Weapon of Choice:http://www.trueswords.com/images/prod/c/TS-FSRWFS_540.jpg This is a very finley crafted sword that has the depictions of a wolf howling on it and other such things to represent Fenrir. It has a sharp blade that represent the claws of Fenrir and it moves quickly to represent the speed of cloud's bike XD

Special Ability:

Geomancy - This type of magic is different then regular black magic... This meaning that in black magic usually the caster creates the element used for the magic, where as the nature magic uses existing things in nature for magic, such as the wind, the earth and other such things. This is to symbolize the connection a wolf would have with the nature around him.

Swordplay - This represents the ability Koffin has gained by practice with the sword already. Also a sword is both a powerful yet swift weapon and so is the wolf powerful and swift. This skill has various uses like mindbreak: lowers the person magic, powerbreak: decreases oppenents streanght... also skills can be mixed with magic to enhance damage.

Berserk: This utilizes high streangth and agility to defeat his oppenents. It is also used to mimic the fighting of animals and thus Koffin is also capable of going into Berserk mode: very highly enhanced streangth and agility for a set time, but Koffin is limited to much of his witt that he once had, in other words he becomes the animal.


Strenghts and Weaknesses:
120% to Speed and Agility
-BASE STRENGTH = 18
-BASE MAGIC = 9
-BASE DEFENSE = 18
120% More damagae taken by black magic or other magics in genereal... with some exceptions.

Short Bio: Koffin spent most of his child both going to school to learn as much as he possibly could and practicing his combat skills as freaqently as he could. He was a very serious and mature kid and because of that lacked time to make alot of friends, but still he is a nice person if you get to know him.

You Like ?
 
Aw, damn. i was going to be dragoon, but CH's character pretty much is one. And i added an image thingy. In any case, hope you like it.

Name: Phallia De Masquas

Image (plus armour unless CH says we all wear the same thing):
41w6sLTgxL_SS400_.jpg


She also wears a feathered helm like Lenneth from Valkyrie Profile
This is for those who don't know what it looks like (In the first one, the grey area is white)
http://gamedepiction.com/media2/vp-lenneth4.jpg
http://gamedepiction.com/media2/vp-lenneth9.jpg

Gender: Female

Age: 20

Alignment: Order

Class: Holy Matriarch. It is similar to the Paladin class in which they specialise in fighting and holy magic

Division: Light

Weapon of Choice: Twin swords. Both swords rest behind her hip in a crossed X fashion.
Ascendant Justice:
Image:
000.jpg

The Ascendant Justiceis a blessed holy blade made from an alloy of titanium, mirthril, platinum and silver, producing the white sheen. It is extremely hardy in comparison to the other blades. It in itself is around 100cm long with a 30 cm handle. Ancient writings are etched along the upper half of the blade down towards the hilt on both sides. They are believed to be some form of blessing.

Auralises' Deliverance:
Image:
Black_Sword_by_DarkXStrike.jpg

Auralises' Deliverance is the binary opposite of Ascendant Justice. It has the same dimension as the Ascendant Justice. As with being the opposite of Ascendant Justice, the blade is a tainted blade that thirst for blood. Marked with ancient script in a similar position as the Ascendant Justice, the words are etched into the pitch dark sword of unknown alloy. It is on par with the Ascendant Justice in terms of workmanship and durability.

Special Ability:
White Magic: As the name implies, it is the art of healing and restoration. It is particularly effective against dark or undead foes. Draws on the inner strength of the person, it enables magic that can heal wounds, cleanse attributes and skills and magic that causes holy damage.

Shirahadori: With her lack of strength, Phallia makes up for parrying and countering. A master at shirahadori, she is capable of halting and locking most weapons when contacted.

Divine Wind: As one that is affiliated with the Holy side, Divine Winds allows magic damage to be mostly absorbed, replenishing her own stamina and mana whilst boosting the strength of her own magic. In addition, by intentionally boosting the circulation of her own mana, her mana will be siphoned to her swords, adding several holy sword attacks available to her, and to her body and armour, increasing defense. Mental concentration has to be kept for the second part. Otherwise, it is just the normal effects.
Strengths:
70% against black magic
125% Speed and Agility

Weaknesses:
85% Strength (Weaker strength)
90% Defence (Weaker Defence)
120% Ground damage

Strength: Average
Magic: High
Defence: Below Average
Vitality: Average
Energy: High

Short Bio: Phallia grew up in a military family. Through the family traditions, she was trained vigorously in the art of war. After following family heritage of excelling in fighting, she showed signs of magic prowess. Her father died in a campaign when he was in the Elite order. Like the rest of her family, she joined the Order. Despite her rather cool exterior, she is actually open and good natured, not to mention rather charismatic. In general, she acts in a normal manner, leaning more conservatively.

@ Oliver : Yeah, I like it. Also...
Ragnarok, in the Norse mythology is the day that the time had come for all the gods. And guess what, Fenrir was the name of the beast that actually killed the All-Father Odin.
Just to inspire you!
@ Tipsynaruto : Wow, didn't expect something like that. Thats cool. And no, we won't wear the same clothes.

The balance of both characters pleases me.
Anyway, there's an open spot for a Summoner as I said.
Oh, and an edit for the original post... The class I wanted to say was lost by me, but it came back to me. It's STARLANCER, not Celestial Knight!
To be honest, Starlancer and Fenrir Knight are actually classes from Seiken Densetsu 3 (Secret of Mana 2). Here's the class tree:http://mmxz.zophar.net/rpg/mana2/class/classchanges.html
Yes, Starlancer and Fenrir Knight are from the same base class, but I thought of the Fenrir Knight to use a big sword.
Anyway, the classes there might inspire you.
More info on Ferram. (Also changed "Magic" to "Arts")
Celestial Arts
Starburst - A quick, triple attack followed by a quick burst of light.
Luna - The wild energy of the moon turns the most disciplined men into wild beasts. Berserks allies and enemies, turning the fight into a brute-force brawl. Interesting skill.
-More empty space-
Supernova - The ultimate attack. This skill is so dangerous, it could actually kill user. Unknown to most persons, present only in myths.



See ya!

(With armor)
Anima__Assasin_guy_by_Wen_M.jpg

Gender: Male
Age: 19
Allignment: Chaos
Class: Summoner
Weapon of Choice:
Cerberos of the Blood Sea
Special Ability:
The specials abillities of this weapon are:

1st - By touching in walls, floor or thin air, it creates symbols which Promoteon is thinking of and opens a portal to his desire summon.

2nd - In case of mortal danger, Promoteon disspersses in a purple smoke, leaving nothing behinde.

3rd - When angry, Promoteon makes the scythe wirl and it creates a purple smoke (poison), which surrounds the blade. Afte slashing the enemy, the poison gets into the enemy's organism and paralise him.

Strenghts:
0% Dark
80% Black Magic (exc. Light&Wind)

Weaknesses:
130% Light
125% Wind

Base Defense: 18

Short Bio: Promoteon was born and raise on an alchemists familly. After his father injected, in his own blood, poison he began to be able to summon dark creatures around hm by drawing symbols of his dreams.

One year later, his own summonings turned on him and anahilate his familly and friends. That was his very own deep desire. Of spreading chaos over the world (due to the poison injected on him).

After a couple of years later, he was blessed as the "Chaos Summoner" of his land and set out to learn more summonings.

Nice. A Servant of Chaos in disguise...
And a thing about weaknesses... he's too weak. Villains need to be stronger.
Lemme say... his weakness...
...wind and light?
So, he takes 130% Light damage, and 125% Wind damage.
And strenghts, lets say he nullifies Dark - that's 0% Dark damage. And summonings are generally elemental. Let's say he takes 80% Black magic.
Is that better?
So...
Str&Weak
0% Dark
80% Black Magic (exc. Light&Wind)
`
130% Light
125% Wind

A great idea popped up my head. What if he himself could transform into a poison cloud? (CSOTN lol)
Gotta go.

Summoners are magicians, right? So shouldnt he have weak strength? why is he more powerful physically than his magical powers? In any case, CH, you should actually give us a scale for the base things, like 20 as highest etc.

Yes CH actually i know very well Norse Mythology, i have studied it quite a bit, the fact that Fenrir is actually the offspring of Loki who is actually the son of Odin so technically Odin gets killed by his grandson, who is a wolf beast ><

PS: I like your Luna spell, i can totally see an awsome combo with my character right there and also i know that Fenrir Knight is a class from that game, but i decided to make the class mine own whilst still retaining the essence of the wolf/beast kind of class.


ALSO I agree with Tipsy... Summoner equals less streanght more magic and weak defense but he can put his own twist just keep it along those lines, then again its not my decision to make, CH will decide...
 
Yeah, but he's a dark summoner. I think that's different but anyway, -2 B. Strength for Prometeon. Thats 17 Base Strenght.
And magic is kinda high too, so 22(-3) is enough.
See ya, not much time to spare.
 
Well that aside, what is the range for the base skills. I have no idea how high the numbers can go for the base skills. I can't gauge how sting a person actually is because there is no max limit to compare to.
 
How "Sting" somone is in an rp shouldn't really have to do with that their base stats are.... What should really determine a characters power is how well the player is at role playing, that is what its all about anyways right?
 
Im sorry... Im just a rookie to this, I actually wanted to see how it works. But come on. We're doing this to the end!
1.New "stats" system. What was I thinking? RP's are based on story!
  • Very Low
  • Low
  • Below Average
  • Average
  • Above Average
  • High
  • Very High
The mathematic average of the chars' previus values is 14,7.
So please reevaluate. I'm sorry I can't do this myself. Maybe I'll do it just on Ferram.
Strength: High
Magic: Above Average
Defense: Low (Maybe pairing with Phallia's Shirahadori skill is a good ideea; she could actually pair with someone else for extra effectiveness!)
2.The characters also have Vitality and Energy. (Just like HP and MP)
Ferram's vitality: average
Ferram's energy: above average
3. Even more info on Ferram. Plus a picture of what he would look like (but cut the axeblades on the spear! he's not using a polearm) : (Lawfer from Valkyrie Profile)

Celestial Arts
-Banish
Using the holy force of the Sun, Ferram banishes evil forces. He is surged by holy energy, discharging it with a jump attack on the enemy.
-White Draw
Draws the energy of ALL enemies, using it to power a beam of energy which damages ONE enemy.
-Comet
Ferram concentrates and tries to use energy to deviate a comet to unleash destruction!

Yeah, a small chunk of info again. Coming next is a prestory of the Order Camp.And another ideea for Prometeon - what if he is infiltrated, is close to finishing the training but actually fails to get in?
 
Srry if i was vague, but that was what i meant. i didnt know what would be consider strong. New system is good.
 
Neither of you made any mistakes.
Anyway, i think it's good to have a supporting character that's a standard order knight, to aid the party (You know, like Xu in FFVIII, only a more major char) in missions. Since minimum of age required to get in Order Camp is 16 years, training is 7 years and there's also 1 year before you become standard, the minimum of age is 24, which is good. The class I was thinking was Vanadis - like a lesser Valkyrie, Chooser of the Slain.(Did I mention she has to be a female? And we need her in the Dark Div. [note: DarkDiv. is NOT evil. It's protecting the source of it]) Maybe im too involved in Valkyrie Profile, but if not, check Wikipedia for Valkyrie and check this image - it looks cool:http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/valkyrieprofile/images//e/ef/Aelia.jpg.
I was thinking at a polearm anyway.
PS: Her name is Aelia. That's a cool name too!

oooo, i love Valkyrie Profile! I got the first on psp. I'sd prefer if the girl looked like Silmeria or Alicia from number two, but oh wells. Btw, i was going to add a helm to my character and (surprise), i was going to use Lenneth's feathered Helmet. Look at my character again CH for the changes.
 
Sorry for humonguos delay. Nothing too new.
Satix, say something! Come on, your char is great, but there's nothing since your first post!
Anyway, Oliver, do you know what the Gleipnir is? If you know Fenrir's legend, you should. Maybe you could add something like "He wears a magic necklace named "Gleipnir", which grants him ______."
Yeah, that's it. Maybe we should commence in a month or such.
 
Uhm I don't know exactly i geuss, it wouldn't by chance be the ribbon that held him down or anything like that would it? Anyways what do you mean by commence in a month, is the rpg up? I geuss i should go check ><
