Four nameless gods created the world. First the god of earth made a ball of clay, dirt, and stone. The ball was cold and bare. The master of fire then came and filled the ball with his very esence. The baren world was still life and brown. The lord of Water came and decorated it with water. The spirit of air decorated the world suroundings with air and gave force to wind. The gods gazed at their wonderous work, but regreted haveing none to share it with.

The sages of Light and Darkness came giveing both the night and day. Creating shadows and glows makeing the ball even more wonderous. For with this final aid the planet bore it's children and life began.

A final two gods came to contribute to this wounderous thing. The god of void took this ball and placed it were none would be destracted, on a black curtin of void. The enforcer of the Chasmos placed little stars in the void and encicled the planet with two balls of glowing light.

Finally the gods could rest. With life springing forth how ever they found no place on earth to quitely rest. The gods of the four substnacial had used most of their power, so the four gods of the insubstantail, agreed to make a heaven. They placed it at the far edge of the ball a place few could reach. They filled the plane with pillars of light and darkness, walls of void, cosmic force for tile. It was here that they rested.

The first gods to wake were the first four to rest. Earth, fire, water, and air. When they awoke, they found a small god, the he claimed to be the god of mortal will. He explained how the life had grown and become varied, he told them of their paculair habits of fighting. He said it was like the gods. Even the gods wish for power he explained, he told of how the other four would try and detroy the four present. And how they'd stand a better chance if they had an extra soldeir. he told each to shed a single teir of power. He would give the four tiers to a mortal to make him strong enough to help them in a fight. The four each shed a tier and set abut finding one to weild their power in an upcomeing battle.

The small god then awoke the other four. He told the others of the elementals plans for war. he told them if they wished to survive they would need to each shed a tier of power and give it to one mortal to aid their cause. The four gods did just that. So eight powerfull artifacts were given to the mortal world.

The god of mortal will then departed to the mortal world. He cast his lies aside and resumed his form of destruction. The war that came was both long and feice satisfing destruction, a world so beutiful slowly being unmade.

All eight gods that created the world were wageing war on a single battle feild, another god apeared. He told them of the souls true intention, how he planed long ago to unmake this world. They asked what to do. This god told them little could be done but that he would help. the tools to heal the world were amoung the mortals who had the tiers. All's they needed was to remove the god of destruction and he would give the world a chance to heal. The god anounced he was the god of mortal souls. he would allow the world a chance to heal, thus he gave a gift of time upon the land.

The eight gods of the elements took the lord of destruction back to the other realms and the god of time remained behind hopeing that time was enough for the world to heal. Then finally he to left.
 
I hope the back ground is enough to get you interested. Okay the plot here is about 1000 years latter. The world here is largely open and many strange creatures do exist. All the tiers have a specil power based on their driveing force. The idea is to get all eight, what you do with it as a nortal is your own concern destroy the world or heal it, your choice.

Now let us talk about characters. I'm doing a bit more depth because I like character creation it's just fun.

Name:

Race: Human, Elf, dwarf, Goblin, ect. Custum races are fine just run them by me before useing them. Gaints and dragons are also rpesent but a little to powerful for a starting character. Half dragons, and gaints are aceptable. But run your plans by me still.

Description: Eyes, hair, build, age, gender. if you'd like height weight. Cloathing

Enchant: Magic desaises like vampirism, lychanthopy (Were- wolf), curses, blessings, anything along those lines fits here.

Primary Element: Okay their are eight tiers but ten elements. Fire, earth, air, water, light, darkness, casmos, void, will/destruction and, soul/time. Any element is as god as anotehr it effects your natural ability with the element as well as your resistence. It represents wich force you relate best to.

Specil skills: Black smithing, erotic art, seamen ship, ect. Anything that might be important to note as a skill.

Bio: Life history or important notes be long here or short just what else is needed but a story is always nice.
 
Sounds fun

Could I play a half dragon female? Human sized with dragon wings, eyes and a tail for flight balance.
 
I have no problem with that. However consider the other half, is it elf, human, shadow, ogre? I'm guessing you intend on it being human, thats fine. The type of dragon is up to you if you have any prefrence.


I also forgot a favored weapon would be nice. along with other gear.

Now for my character,
Name: Ren
Race: lesser elf (Desciprtion below)
enchant: N/a
Element: Darkness
weapons: twin sided glaive, weighted chain (Kensai)
skills: Claok fighting.
Eyes: Blue
Hair: long dark brown
Height: 6'
age: 63 looks 18
Weight: 150 lbs
Description: Pale skin with a controled sadness in his eyes. His dark hair covering the slight point of his ears. His face emotionless.

Cloathing: white cloth button down shit and black pants. Black claok reinforced with a layer of leather. Uses it for defense.

BIO: Still young by elven standards Ren has left his elven home in the woods for a life of drifting. Very sad for one that lives for adventureing many say he is looking for something. They would be right the problem is Ren has no idea what he is searching for in the first place, many say the dark element drives some to madness and otehrs to sad lonelyness he would seem to fit in this second catagory. His skills could of earned him some degree of fame, but he never stays for long in one place. His adventures have recently taken him to Floren.

I forgot to give more of an imedate plot. Cloey, the princess of Gilda recently gone missing, they suspect that their ancheint enemy Floren is behind the abduction and have decleared war, puting an end to their peace of the last 12 years.

Martail arts are also in here if you'd like to use them. Feel free to choose your own style. Prehaps it's highlights is it good for groups, does it use weapons, how much control over your Ki you have.
 
Ki? HUH?

What's Ki?
Anyway here's my character:

Name: Sierra Drachus
Race: 1/2 dragon, 1/2 mountain Elf
enchant: lightness, for flight
Element: Air/Moonlight
weapons: Bow, twin bladed sai
skills: Elven Ninjitsu, dragonic messmerization
Eyes: Tribanded like a dragon- silver, blue, platinum
Hair: dark blue down to hips
Height: 5'8"
age: about 120 look to be about 17 or 18
Weight: 145, with spell 45
Description: thin but well muscled, dragonic wings and long prehensile tail, Sierra is oft mistaken for an angel before people see her tail and look at her eyes. Then they think she's a sorceress who had a problem with a dragon-change spell. Soft spoken yet known for using deadly force if need be. Her wings are silver with blue boning as is her tail.

Cloathing: Backless tunic, legging and dragon-hide boots from one of her father's moltings. Wears over this studded leather armor with solid metal thigh plating
BIO: Born of an elven mother and a dragonic father who mated during a Beltane ritual, Sierra isn't your normal elf girl. She's fiery, full of spirit and ready for action. Probably due to her dragonic father. He was a big part in raising her, teaching her to fly and introducing her to most of the dragons in the realm. NO one messed with Magnus' daugher- just was SO not safe. Now she's an "adult" and out to seek her fortune as well as the afore mentioned amulet. Normally keeps her wings closed and folded so they look like a cloak at first glance and hide her tail.
 
Ki I spelled wrong. It's Kai, the bodys natural flow of energy. Or chi the energy of the mind. Use wich term you like best. The chi is from China and Kai from japan.

I hope I'm not discourageing people with more info then they need. Oh well I'll start it up today hopefully that get some more people interested.

No problem and welcome silver wolf.

On another note- you're Pagen too? What branch? I'm studying Wicca right now though I believe an interesting montage of things personally.
 
Well personly I don't think it'd be wise on my part to say whats okay and whats not. The trhee of us have been here long enough to know the standard rules, no super moves that kill or leave some one at your mercy, no takeing control of some one else character beyond saying on or two short things if needed. Why the hell am I going off on edicit! You to know this just as well if not better then me. Oh and no biteing each otehrs ears off if you lose a fight. :)

A magic user would be fine. Hopefully this trhead will last long enough that our characters can advance into magic, martial arts, weapons, ect.

Also as the story goes on I think it's a wise idea if we take up aditional characters. That could be important as the plot expands.
 
Good old Double posts, boy dose that bring back memories. *Sighs*
 
Karrenthian

sup cats...i'm new here, but i've got about 3 yr RPing exp. mostly DnD3rd, but also some CoC, VtM, and custom worlds set for mainly d20. yes i have read the rules as posted by Ravenloft

submitted for your approval:
Name: Karrenthian
Sex: Female
Race: Risen Demon
Description: 5'7", 130 LB, 227 yrs old, raven black hair (as in
multicolred upon very close inspection), grey eyes, large
non-functional tattered bat wings that only apear in the
ethereal plane or to those that can see into the ethereal
plane normally, and a tiny set of horns that jut forward from
her temples which are usually covered by her hair. Karey is
strangley plain yet plainly beautiful, wearing a dull bone
white dress and a black choker. she carries a twisted ash
walking stick.
Enchant: Song of Persuasion, a mixture of angelic and demonic
healing abilities that combine into one which produces odd
effects on ocassion
Element: cosmos
Special Skills: can choose whom her songs can affect, celestial
jujitsu (brazilian jujitsu), staff fighting
Bio: Born of a union of an angel and a demon, Karrenthian was
stolen by her father and raised as a servant of the god of
destruction (g.o.d.) :devil: After many centuries of service
as a succubus, Karey fell in :heart: with one of
her "assignments" (?he possessed a tear?). The g.o.d.
found out and she was risen from hell, losing all her powers
given to her by the g.o.d. However, the god of mortal souls
(g.o.m.s.) found out also, and gave Karey a chance for
redemption. The g.o.m.s. gave Karey the quest of searching
the earth for a pure soul, an innocent soul, but restricted
her in that she must refrain from physical violence when at
all possible. To fasilitate in this, the g.o.m.s. gave to Karey
the Song of Persuasion gift, letting her calm anger or
bolster prowess in combat. Yet, upon return to the earth,
she found that the g.o.d. had destroyed her love and so
lost the tear once more. Karrenthian has been searching for
her "pure" soul for 227 years now...

thats her...i've been wanting to play her for so long now...and when i read your story i thought that this was the perfect opportunity for Karey to come alive...but i am willing to rewrite her to fit your ideal... PM me for my email if you'd like...or for whatever Thanks, Schyler

Very good chara especilly for a first post. Your welcome to join and post when you want to.

Just note that the 10 gods of this story have all left. In 227 years, I didn't really include much of a timeline. But if your dealing with the gods prehaps it'd be best to increase that. Only the oldest charas were actully around to witness the two avatars that weilder the tears and the gods left shortly before those two avatars were deafeated. So I say 1000 years would be the minium amount of time. Prehaps we can adjust it some how so that only the last 227 years were spent on the planet because you first had to make your way here from the underworld on foot or something along those lines.

Otehr then that you have an excellent chara I don't want to make any requess about. But keep in mind that this sight is dedicated to writeing so this is jsut as much of a story as a game. So lets take everything light hearted and not worry to much over who loses or wins a fight, or what the last person posted simply go with it and build on it.

So lets have fun.
 
Sounds interesting
Name: Dranz Urlborn; Weapon Master Name: Blade of Justice
Race: Human
enchant: None
Element: Earth
weapons: Double Bastard Swords; Composite Longbow; Greatsword; Kusari-Gama. He can use anything, however
Martial Arts: Ju-Jitsu, Tang Soo Do
skills: Erotic Arts, Focus, Over-Exertion
Eyes: Black
Hair: Short, cropped Black
Height: 6'5
age: 27; In truth, he is hundreds of years old. However, his post as a Weapon Master has slowed his aging to 1/10th of the normal rate.
Weight: 258lb.
Description: Massive. Layered with muscle all over. Has a tatoo sygnifying he was in the army(special operations) on his right arm. He has a scar on his back and on his chest that bleed whenever he kills. He has a normal scar on his hand and is missing part of his ring finger on his left hand.

Cloathing: Baggy leather trousers, Red sleeveless shirt. Black cloak.

Armor: Embossed but simple adamantine full plate. When wearing armor, he wears a flowing cape

BIO: One of the Weapon Masters, he served for 8 years in the army before leaving it. In his time there, he matured from a naive, thin boy into a huge, musclebound realist. Of noble birth, he ran away at the age of 14. His family was slaughtered soon after and his castle razed. He has always blamed himself for their deaths. Even so, little is known about his past. He is a rare sight indeed, but in times of great strife he makes his appearance to assist the side he considers most justified. He is a man slow to anger but quick to friendship. There are rumors that a Weapon Master has been sighted throughout Floren, inquiring about various matters.

Hope the age and the Weapon Master stuff is ok!
I recently saw Berserk and I wanted to do a character at least somewhat like Guts.

Karey

"So, a new player enters the game. A friend of yours?" she asked as she turned toward Ren.

Karey turned back to inspect the new comer. This was obviously not the one she seeked, his soul could be described as clean, let alone innocent. He definatley was hansome in a brutish way, she would have loved to be a succubus once more...MMMMM....she thought. To take the man and then take his soul, but that life was over now.

For some reason she was drawn to these travelers, why? Maybe if breakfast was ever over she might find out...
 
Yeah I have a few requests. First off two bastard swords would be about 20lbs, great sword another ten, bow two, kusari gama (Weighted chain like the Kensai but attached to scyth like blade.) has to be another 5. Thats 37 lbs of gear, then you have the armor a breast plate is likely to be atleast 15lbs bring the weight up to 52lbs, I can back pack at a decent rate with about sixty lbs. You have yet to mention food, water, and other gear going along with him. Water for one person for an entire day is atleast 3lbs more if they are doing hard activity during the hoter parts of the day. Food is lighter but still a lbs or more. When I go back packing I only take what I need and it's atleast 40lbs.

I don't really want to get boged down with realism because these guys aren't goignt obe cariny around 40lbs of gear but you have alot of un need weight and some one who could fight just as well with his foes weapons as his own preoably wouldn't be so redundant. Two bastard swords would be hard to use at one time, you did mention he is a weapon master so I'll let that slide. Each Bastard sword could be used two handed the slightly greater size of the great sword becomes un need do to the amount of pwoer he can put in his swing to begin with. The Kunsari gama is a double weapon with a componet for range and close range. The long bow is simply ranged. Each person could make their own call her. The long bows great range or the greater amount of pwoer that could be placed into the kunsari gama. I figure he'd pick one over the other. He is mroe likely to be able to find the long bow for greater range lieing around then the kunsari gama how ever. I suggest picking one or the other.

Lastly the martail arts. With so many weapon skills I figure this is redundant. Leave thsi feild to others.

Also do to your great size I'd like you to take a trade off in speed. Some one this big isn't going to be able to move very fast. Most runners and martail artist don't get that big because it interfers with their quick movements. So while your likely to be the strongest it's doubtfull your as fast as the others in a sprint or jumping under a table during an earth quake.

Age.... like any one else is onyl 27 is acceptable and the entrie weapon master thing is giveing me an idea that'll I'll talk about a bit latter.

Oh and also to balance things out you don't have any magic spells. And the the armro shoudl probably be amde out of a lighter material, say mythril to sllow fast movements.
 
sorry

sorry about my last post, i hit the wrong thread.

but, Damn, cats, you take all the fun outta power gaming...lol:D
 
All right. That's cool with me. And I meant those were his favored weapons. I didn't mean to imply that he carried all of them around with him. He just prefers using them over others. His standard weapons are a composite longbow and a greatsword. I'll drop the martial arts and I never meant for him to have magic. As for speed, I did think of that and I agree with you whole-heartedly. Thanks for letting me be in on this one!
 
No problem, sorry about my mistake but you did say twin bastard swords so I thought that was his curent gear.

Personally I'm still trying to figure out a way to get out of the situation you left me in, in the "Wet Work" thread way back when I joined their are some times when you know your jsut screwed and you had me in a corner in that one. Whats the name of that devil or demon chara of yours?
 
:D Sorry 'bout that, Cats! I did have some trouble writing back then. The char's name was Wrathlance. I gotta say, though, he's still one of my favorite char's.
 
No, allthough I've been told you used that chara extremely often. I'm just curious this time.
 
I was just kidding. I dont use him anymore on Lit. Or on the web, for tht matter.
