And here it is my first RP... First I would like to thank those who inspired me to finally make my own RP: Inx, Mistress, Kenji, Kyoshiro Major inspirator for races, classes and magic: Dragon Age: Origins Inspiration for the Spiritbound: Meta-Bestia, another thanks for Inx Map courtesy of Warhammer. Rules: - The usual Gendou City Rules Apply - Love and romances... yes! Keep it reasonably civil please, PG-13 or so. - You shalt not control other player's character(s), unless approved by the other player. - No godmode, No Auto-hitting, No quick kills. - Death can happen, if approved by me and the one to die. - Script Style - Others are allowed but this is recommended - You can make up to 2 characters - Replacing dead ones is allowed - Please follow the profile requirements - Questions, Leaving & Ideas - PM me Story: Urthemiel has long been a place of eternal war, constantly under attack by the Darkspawn from the north. For some unexplainable reason the Darkspwan stopped attacking decade ago, since then Urthemiel has known relative peace. This peace has caused great changes in the power balance of Urthemiel. The raiding parties of Darkspawn that had roamed the land have been mostly eradicated causing more and more people to leave the city states, seeking a better life in the wilds. The city states which during the Long War, kept mostly to themselves, have begun forging alliances with their neighbors and trying to gain controll of Urthemiel. Only the Shadow Alliance is still keeping watch over the north, instead of trying to rule the others. But now there is a threat of civil war in the air, as each Alliance is strenghtening their armies. Also the number of Free Spirits has been increasing steadily since the peace started, the Free Spirits are considered to be rebels and they have also started gathering their numbers in the independent city state of Saphery. Tension in Urthemiel is high and the civil war might break from any aggression. And all the while the real reason for the peace is preparing to make it's move. Location:  Short summary of the locations: Blighted Isle: A blasted wasteland where the Darkspawn launch their raiding parties, several unsuccesful attacks designed to scour the Darkspawn from the Isle have been made. Chrace: Elven fortress city built with the aid of dwarves to protect the other access way to the rest of Urthemiel the other one is Shadowlands. Shadowlands: A fortified city blocking the pass from the Outer Sea coast. The arcitechture was built by dwarves and designed by humans. So it has influences from both. Grim place almost constantly under attack by Darkspawn. Averlorn: The Elven Capitol, built into the trees near the coast of the Inner Sea. Main population lives high in the trees, but it also has a small amount of houses built to the ground to act as market place and to accommodate visiting dwarves. Architechture similar to Rivendell. Ellyrion: The Human Capitol, originally a coastal fortress, the city is built around the original fortress. Has architechture similar to Minas Tirith. Saphery: Small community consisting almost solely of Spriritbound, built partly into the mountain and partly to the forest growing on the mountainside this city is a peculiar fusion of elven and dwarven architechture. Mountains of Caledor: There are rumors that dragons live in these mountains, but all expeditions set to find out the truth have either come back empty-handed or haven't come back at all. Fist of Malekith: Fortified city that contains the only safe port in Urthemiel capable of receiving visitors from outside Urthemiel. City contains almost equal amount of human, elven and dwarven population. Dragonwake: The Dwarven Capitol, nigh impenetrable fortress in the mountains, also the only permanent dwarven city. The place has been carved into the mountaiside. Architechture similar to Moria. Eataine: Another city of dwarven origin, dwarves abandoned it for unknown reason thousand years ago and it was then repopulated by humans and elves. Lothern: The Capitol of Urthemiel, the city was originally built dwarves, but since it has been influenced by humans and elves. The city contains the House of Lords, which acted as the main seat of government. The Capitol means a city where most of the Nobles of the race live. Races: Human: Humans are the most common of the races in Urthemiel, and while they are bit more crafty than other races rest of their abilities are average. Humans have the uncanny ability to excel in whatever field they focus into. Humans favor swords, shields and crossbows. Humans live up to 100 hundred years old. Dwarf: Dwarfs have the ability to withstand greater amount of bodily harm than other races, they also have a natural resistance to magic but this resistance also makes them less adept at magic than humans. Dwarfs favor two handed axes and mauls. Dwarves can't be mages or Arcane Warriors. Dwarves live up to 300 years old. Elf: The elves are more attuned to magic than the other races and thus their magical abilities are greater than those of others. Elves prefer to use curved blades and bows. Elves live up to 200 years old. Classes: If you want to have unique class PM me with the details These are meant to be used as guidelines Rogue: Rogues are dextrous fighters who fight with agility and cunning rather than brute force. Rogues work in armies as scouts but some also do more shadier businesses. Usual weapons are short swords and bows. Assassin: The assassin finds any notion of fairness a quaint ideal that has no place in combat. They are efficient killers and are known to employ poisons. Usual weapons are daggers and slings. Duelist: Duelists excel at one on one fights where their precision and reflexes count more than on larger melee battles. Usually fight with sword and dagger or two swords. Warrior: Warriors are the frontline fighters having accumulated great physical strenght and strong body they rely mostly on strenght and tend to do well on larger melee battles. Berserker: Berserkers are warriors who harness their rage allowing it to grip them making them fearless and hard-hitting. What they lack in finesse they make up by the strenght of their blows. Almost always use two-handed weapons. Champion: Champions are born leaders they inspire their allies and put fear into their enemies. Usually wield shield and sword. Mage: Mages draw power from Fade, to damage their foes or to support their allies. Can use staff to fire weak magic projectiles. Arcane Warrior: Arcane Warriors are mages who have learned to channel their magical powers into their bodies greatly boosting their physical abilities. Wields one handed weapons. Mages and Arcane Warriors can live longer than other members of their race, but no more than 50 years. Magic: Magic is something that every sentient being in Urthemiel possesses and they are able to use it to limited degree. Mages are exception to this rule as they have born with greater connection to Fade, the realm of magic, than other people. The magic is divided into four Major Schools which are then further divided into four Focuses. Each character MUST pick one Focus that they are aligned with, they can use spells from this Focus only. You can't choose more than one, exceptions below. This doesn't count against your number of abilities. Mages can additionally choose 1 Major school, they can use all spells from this school. This counts as an ability. Arcane Warrior can choose two additional focuses from single school as single ability. Both Arcane Warrior and Mage can choose any number of additional Focuses as their abilities. Schools of Magic: The explanations on Focuses is what that Focus usually does, not all what it does, imagination may be applied Major School Primal: Focuses: Fire: Creation and manipulation of fire Earth: Manipulation of earth Ice: Lowering temperature rapidly Electric: Creation and manipulation of electricity Major School Creation: Focuses: Healing: Healing self and others Enhancements: Improving physical or magical abilities Glyphs: Inscribing glyphs on the ground to create variety of effects to the area Summoning: Summoning small beings, like wisps and insect swarms Major School Spirit: Focuses: Anti-Magic: Variety of effects to shield the user from magic or to dispel magical effects Magic Alteration: Draining mana from foes Death: Draining health from the dead, summoning undead minions Telekinesis: Use telekinetic forces to stun, immobilise or push back foes Major School Entropy: Focuses: Debilitation: Weakening the opponent Hexes: Disabling parts of opponents body Sleep: Disorienting opponents, inducing visions Draining: Leeching opponents of their life-energies Spiritbound: No one really knows how the Animal Spirits bind with host but the process changes the host. Spiritbound usually has personality that matches with the animal's usual behavior, but this is not always the case. The host receives a number of benefits from the Animal Spirit, or Spectre as they are commonly called most notable being increased physique, the host also receives some abilities from the Spectre, these abilities depend on the race of the Spectre. Lately there has been increasing number of Spiritbound. Spiritbounds can sense each other's presence when they are in vicinity, they also feel strong kinship towards each other regardless off race. The Spiritbound live with the other people of Urthemiel and they are accepted as members of society but they are almost universally considered as second class citisens. Spiritbounds can live up to 500 years old. Factions: The Southern Alliance Consisting of the nobles living in Ulthern and their allied city of Eataine. These nobles have ruled Urthemiel for the last six centuries, but the recent events have caused their power to wane and they only really control the capitol and the city of Eataine. They have the largest army of the Alliances but most of their soldiers are badly equipped, only the elite units have proper equipment. The Dwarven Alliance The alliance between Dragonwake and Fist of Malekith this Alliance aims to overthrow the current government. They have the best equipped army but they are less numerous than the armies of other Alliances. The Elven Alliance Consisting of the cities of Averlorn and Chrace, former rivals, who when the power of the south waned, joined forces in an effort to gain control of Urthemiel. Some of the old tension still remains between their forces however. Their army relies on stealth and surprise rather than traditional force of arms, the skills trained against the Darkspawn in the forests of the north. The Alliance of Shadow The Alliance between Shadowlands and Ellyrion their army is the best trained of the Alliance armies, tempered against the invading Darkspawn. They are more concerned about the Darkspawn than ruling the land. The Free Spirits A group of containing mostly of Spiritbound but also some normal humans, elves and dwarves. Their aim is to convince the government to give the Spiritbound same rights as the rest of the population in Urthemiel. Their base of operations is in Saphery. Leadership positions for each Alliance are open, PM me if you want to one. Each Alliance has a pair of leaders, the Free Spirits have one.

i'm joining! ^^ will post the profile when it's done... [Edit] It's almost done. sorry it took awhile. just one quick question- do we still need a focus even if we aren't a mage/Arcane Warrior?

Bio: Elle was born in and grew up in Ellyrion. Her father was a noble man with much power there, and he had much influence on the city. As she grew up, the locals could see that Elle had much power and potential, so it wasn't surprising that Elle joined the Shadow Alliance. When Elle joined the Shadow Alliance, the people of the city started to look at the alliance more favorably, and that led her to becoming one of the leaders of this alliance at a very young age. Currently, she is traveling the land; looking to gain allies and to make a history for herself. Appearance:   |

Her parents told her to move far south, as far as possible, where the darkspawns would not harm her. She did as she was told. Leaving her dangerous hometown with bloodshed and sad memories, she spent years moving to Eataine where she could finally find a good place to rest. She decided to join the alliance to fight against the Darkspawns who made her lose her parents. Her former “training†back in the Shadowlands made her an outstanding duelist. Her spiritbound abilities helped her no less.

For Spiritbound only:  Animal spirit: Eagle Transmutations: Sharp eyes like an eagle’s, and also able to sense danger from behind.

But now it my work load has lessened, so I'm gonna wait for those who haven't yet gotten their profiles up and for others who sitll might join. For now, the RP will be scheduled to start in few days, depending how my week starts. Before end of the week anyway ;) Let's see what happens. |
