"Heeding The Call, one and for all
never surrender, with glory we'll fall
Brothers unite, let's stand up and fight
fulfilling our fate, we are
Heeding The Call"
~Hammerfall - Heeding the call

----------------

Welcome to the magical world of Lafegath (Lah-fei-jath).
It is a world of peace, prosperity and friendship.

After the last World War, most of the technology was wiped out. This sent them back several decades in the technological department.
They are now at the point, where they have light, and heat via electricity, though it stops there, as the rest is steam powered, or manual.
Although the world is peaceful, some have chosen to arm themselves with both modern and ancient weaponry. Some of the people have chosen swords, and other olden day weapons, after all, if it works, why change it?
Some have chosen newer and more modern weapons, such firearms, which come in a diverse variety, yet no Hight-Tech weapons are available, such a flamethrowers or lasers.
Various forms of explosives still exist, but few tend to use them, since the arts of magic, enchantment and thaumaturgy have taken over the need for explosive weaponry.

The annual festival was going on, in the luxurious town of Kailuna (Kai-loo-nah), to celebrate the end of the 10 year war. This is where the traveling circus had set up their camp. The World of Lafegath was far more festive than most, partially due to the fact that the drinking age was 16 years, thus there were many more bars in Lafegath than our world and they were exceedingly more crowded.
The Ferris wheel was spinning, to the sound of the steam engine that was powering it.
The children were running around without a care in the world, with various sweets and balloons grasped in their petite hands.

All of this is celebrating the annual festival, like they have done many years in the past. Although, this particular festival, things were going to change, going to change for the worse. It all started with the fireworks.

As soon as the clocks had struck midnight, the moon had befallen an inky black color. The moon also began to radiate an ominous crimson shine.
Roars and screeches of the dark howl around. The people first laughed, thinking that it was a new attraction. But they where sadly mistaken.
Various shadows lurked around. They had the form of humanoids, but tinted like the shadows themselves, they had blazing red eyes filled with hatred and anguish and most sported animal features such as claws or tails.
Roars and growls echoed out as the encircled the people.

Then, they attacked; they seemed to use whatever body parts they had, but there were a select few who had no animal feature, wore black armor and wielded dark tinted weapons, such as swords, guns, axes and even throwing knives.

Since most where peasants, and civilians, they could do naught but flee.
A brave few stood up to them, but even with all they did, they were simply sacrificing themselves to the savages, a noble act, allowing the others to flee.

Why are they here? What are they? Who will save Kailuna? Who will repel the savage assailants?

These are a mere few of the questions that need answering, but the questions would have to wait, as it was time to fight!

I've been RPing for about a year and have been in several serious RPs in a variety of fandoms. I'm new to this site, though, so I'm not sure if I'd be qualified as an "Experienced RP'er". I'd be able to put a lot of time, effort and dedication into it, though.

If I qualify, I'd love to join! Please let me know.
 
You sound promising from what you say, but could you plese send a Hyperlink to the character you are going to use. We will need to see your character so we may evaluate him/her.
 
Yeah, since you may be a good RPer, you may even be excellent. However, your character may not fit this particular RP.

AND, if possible, could you link to an RP that you have been in.
then we can actually judge your posts.
though, this is not as important as the character himsefl
 
Sure. Here's a link to an RP I participated in last spring. It lasted for several months, but due to mutual agreement on both sides it slowed down. Harry Potter, just so you know.

I'm working on my charcter bio right now--I'll send that along too once I'm finished, ka. ^_^


(In that RP, I'm Mystic Katt)
 
well. I have read some of the posts. kinda annoyed that I had to register, but meh.

It seems to be only discussions there, I was hoping for some battle posts.

however, this will all be cleared once I see your character. since that alone can explain he "level" of a RP'er you are

Also, the sentence:
d be able to put a lot of time, effort and dedication into it, though.

almost gives you a spot.

Although, a character must be posted first

Name: Celen
Title: Sleeping Crystalman
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Element: Earth
Age: 17
Appearance:
Hair: Black, worn just below the shoulders. It’s washed and fluffed as often as possible, because Celen considers his hair his only nice feature. Sometimes he’d rather wash his hair than do anything else.
Eyes: Blue
Height: 5’8" (170 cm)
Complexion: Very freckled across his nose and cheeks. He tans easily, but since he’d rather spend his days sleeping in the shade than actually doing work, his skin usually looks pale.
Build: He has a very slight build, all of his muscle coming from the work he had to do to support his family as their fortune dwindled.
Attire: Loose-fitting brown pants with drawstring ankles; loose blue shirt with sleeves to his elbows; a belt to put all his crystals in; since he was almost granted water power, he finds favor and comfort in water and dresses to that extent.
Noteworthy Features: The gash on his nose has left a faint scar that runs from one cheek to another.
Personality: He's very laid-back and doesn't get too worked up over things. He'd rather sleep or wash his hair in a stream than most of anything else. He's slower than most, physically, but sometimes act slower mentally too because he doesn't take the time to actually understand things. Too much work, as far as he's concerned.
Weapon/Magic: Celen carries blessed crystals on his belt that he can control and shoot. Each crystal does a different thing, but they each tax his energy and mana in different ways. At the beginning of a battle he starts out with (if you were to put this to scale) 25 energy, 50 mana. But these numbers change the more he trains.

Red: Used as a knife, strikes an opponent
E: 1 M: 1

Blue: Is infused with poison that will slow an opponent down if struck directly into an opponents blood stream.
E: 5 M: 15

Green: Breaks apart into several crystals that stab an opponent all at one time.
E: 5 M: 10

Yellow: Infused with potion that can heal minor damage if struck into blood stream.
E: 5 M: 8

Others:

Purple: Freezes an opponent in place for up to a minute--it releases toxins into the opponent's body that temporarily slow the vital organs down almost completely.

E: 10 M: 20

RedPurple: When used inconjuction with Purple, it slows the opponent's vital organs down completely until it shuts them down. Takes an hour to fully complete, in what time the crystal could have easily been removed and remedy given.

E: 25 (It keeps taxing energy as the poison seeps in)

M: 40 (It keeps taxing mana as the poison seeps in, until removed.)

He only has enough control over his powers to use Red, Blue, Green or Yellow crystals right now. He has a few others, but he doesn't know what they do and would possibly hurt himself if he tried to find out. The drawbacks are that once he shoots a crystal, it's gone unless he uses more energy and mana to get it back.

He must also find his own materials and pay someone to make his crystals for him. Celen needs someone to draw the poison/magic out of the plant and then show him which rock is compatible with that type of poison or magic. Then he has to find that rock and fuse the rock and poison together. It's a lot of work considering the fact that he loses several at every battle.

Celen can also perform some generic non-crystal moves, but they also tax his energy:

Raise a rock wall in front of him for defense.
*depending on the size of the wall* E: 2+

Shoot a rock at an opponent
*depending on size of rock* E: 3+

Quicksand (small radius)
E: 10+

If he ever tries to use more Energy or Mana than he has left (E/M only come back after resting, and the only way he can tell is by how tired he feels; there's no exact measure for him) then the move won't work. Depending on how much more he tried to pull out of himself, he might collapse. Or worse.

History: Celen was raised with his widow of an aunt, his four cousins, and his father. His mother was so flighty that sometimes she didn't come home for years at a time, preferring to set sail on a boat for half a year without knowing how to sail; or becoming a dancer when she had absolutely no coordination (a trait she passed on slighly to Celen); or becoming a pirate without any idea how to weild a sword. As a result, Celen was never completely happy living with the rest of his family, knowing that his mother was out there having adventures while he was stuck behind.

Every once in a while she would come home asking for money, which Celen's father would dutifully give her in abundance. More often, the people his mother had crossed would come by, demanding his father to repay them for all the damage his mother had done. His father would pay, every time. Celen watched his family property get smaller and smaller as they were forced to pay off all of his mother's debts.

Until one day, he decided he'd had enough of it. Once his family had lived in a cliffside mansion; now they were all forced to huddle together in a small hut, farming like peasants. He was forced to work too--and that most certainly did not suit him.

So Celen packed up all his belongings that had not already been sold, and he tried to leave his family in the middle of the night. He had no idea what he was going to do to survive, but he figured that if he could learn a couple of easy trades he could make do. Celen was all the way to the door when something blocked his path: his oldest cousin, who was more than six feet tall and did back-breaking work for fun. Celen didn't stand a chance against her.

Instead of beating him into a slimy pulp, she asked Celen why he was trying to leave and if he was ever going to return. Though he's a passable liar now Celen was a horrible liar then, and recieved several punches for it. While he clutched his stomach in pain, his cousin grabbed a knife and slashed him straight across the face, across his nose and cheeks, with one slash. Celen stumbled out of the door. There was no rain to wash away his blood.

When he came to water, he washed the cut clean and bandaged his face as best he could, hissing all the time against the pain. Then he took up his pack and kept going in any direction he could, looking for easy work. But no one would hire him because the bandage on his face made him look suspicious. After a week, when he removed the bandage, the painful cut showed no signs of healing or closing. Celen had no choice but to put it back on and make do.

A month went by, but it was just as painful as ever. Two months. Nothing had changed. Celen didn't have any money for a doctor and didn't know his way home, so the best he could do was to wash and dry his face in a pond every night and hope for the best. One night under the full moon, after another day of no work, Celen dragged his feet to a crystal-looking stream and ripped off his bandages. He dove in, clothes and all.

The water got in the cut and seeped into his blood, making the gash hurt worse than ever. The pain spread all over his body like fire. Celen thrashed in the pond until he found the edge and pulled himself out. And he heard a voice far away, as if on the wind:

You have rejected my waters.
You have pulled yourself back to earth.
So earth you shall have.

Celen thought he was going crazy.

But he felt the gash close up at last, the pain subside. The next morning he was back up on his feet--and woozy from lack of blood and food. Though he saw no fish in the pond, he sat on the edge and tried to catch enough food to make him forget the weird "dream" he had last night. He never looked once at his own reflection, knowing that he'd see his gash had scarred over and that last night something odd really had happened. And odd things were just too much to bother with, really.

Surprisingly, fish gathered around his feet, but when he reached in to catch one they fled from his hand. At last he pulled one out, but as soon as it did his hand encased the entire fish in rock. Celen had no idea how he did it. He dropped the fish. It cracked open on the ground to reveal that only the outside had been covered.

No one that he knew of had ever had the ability to control rock before, so he had to figure out his skills by himself. He came to the conclusion that his ability came from the strange night at the pond--and perhaps his mother would know something about it. If only he knew where she was.

He made a vow to himself that he'd find her, so he can figure out his powers. So he can get rid of them. As far as he's concerned, they're a curse. They make him a freak.

Until he starts to see how useful they can be...

~~~~~*~~~~~

I'm sorry about the fact that you had to register. :shame: I forogt about that...

Anyway, here's my character--I hope he is acceptable!

uUUUuu.
I like.
I like the fact that you made the job easier for me.
you already have an element, and your character IS that element, no some hybrid that makes it hell to decide.

Your char is Earth. So this he will have as well.

the only thing I see, is that you state that he has more crystals, but nothing about them.

I can understand that "he" doesn't know what they do.
but it should at least be stated what color they have.
and if possible, what they do, in case your char decides to experiment with them in the Rp.

if you fix these, you are in.

EDIT:
You did as I asked.
and I deem the character APPROVED

Okay, I've talked with Zaiku about this RPG and I'd love to join! I've been roleplaying for 5 years now, primarily Dungeons & Dragons tabletop, but also many other RPG's online, all text based. I have good grammer (seen as I've been reading college-level books since 4th grade.)

You didn't really give any specifics, so if there's anything more about this char you want to know, then please tell me and I'd be glad to elaborate. But I'll steal from Alchemage 'till then.

Name: Crystal Starfire
Gender: Female
Fighting Type: Warrior (specifically, Swordmaster)
Height: 5' 10"
Age: 21
Element: Lightning
Weapon: Dual longswords, shaped like a lightning bolt (I'll try and find a pic)
Symbol: Dragon

Element Application: At a command word known only by Crystal, the swords are immediately sheathed in lightning. This lightning causes significant harm to whomever she's attacking, but it doesn't harm her. It can also jump to foes adjancent to the ones she is attacking. She can 'fling' lighting off her swords to make an explosin among the enemy ranks to cause chaos and split them up.

If she doesn't have her swords out, she can throw chain lightning at her enemies which will cause some damage. It can outright kill people if she puts enough energy into it. Or, if she doesn't want to do that, it can just stun or knock out people. If they are wearing metal armor, or holding something metal, this can burn them and set their clothes on fire if its' powerful enough. The result of someone getting shocked with a metal armor on is usually death. This lightning can also cause damage to buildings or other things, right down to cracking boulders in half.

She can also summon a bolt of lightning from the sky, provided there's at least one cloud in the sky. This attack can outright kill anything (unless GM disproves). However, it does take up a lot of energy, and she doesn't use it more than two times per day. She can do a third, but at that point she could pass out from exhaustion.

Appearance: I'll put this simply: She's beautiful. Not 'pretty'. Beautiful. Not a delicate beauty either, but instead brings to mind the impression of nobility. Long, black hair falls down to her waist, and is usually held back in a ponytail. One long strand of her hair frames one side of her face. Her eye color is violet. (not the pinkish color, the purple color)

Attire: Black pants (yes, pants), lightweight sneakers. Dark purple, sleeveless shirt, that is a few inches short of the waistline. A black leather vest goes over, leaving some of the shirt underneath exposed. She wears black, fingerlesss, leather gloves. A purple ribbon is tied onto her left arm, just below the elbow.

Noteworthy features: Her violet eyes.

Build: There is no denying this woman is strong (she's NOT like a female bodybuilder) Let's just say this woman has curves. Makes it easier on all of us.

Personality: Crystal is very serious about everything she does. It's hard to make her smile. She doesn't trust anyone unless they prove otherwise, which isn't exactly easy. She's a loner, plain and simple, and is uncomfortable in situations where she's stuck with a lot of people, like parties. However, she doesn't lack for confidence and isn't shy or afraid to speak her mind. She has very few friends, her swords being her only friends for a long time. She is very protective of her friends, should she gain any, and isn't so strict or serious around them.

History: Crystal is an orphan, abandoned when she was still an infant. As it was, life wasn't very pleasant there, and her mistrust of others stemmed from her life in this place. When she was old enough she left the orphanage and she went on to join the army. There, she specialized in the sword. Eventually, she got better and better, until she was teaching her instructors more than they were teaching her!


Crystal rose in rank until she reached that of general, one of 3 in the military. When she discovered how corrupt the military was, she left, refusing all bribes. She is now a mercenary, and is doing very well for herself.
