Forsaken ( a fantasy rp)

[abandoneddolly]

-Forsaken-

A land on the edge of war. An adventure waiting to happen.


It has come to the priesthoods attention that  we as humans are a blessed race. It is us that the angels have appeared before.  Us that the mountains move and earth quivers in the path of our conquest. How much greater would our Great country be if we removed that which tarnished us. It is time to take out that which the Gods disdain. Once the Land is purified Our blessings shall flow fourth in bounty. Great rains and Fertile soil for the farmers, Great wealth for the adventurer, bounty for the fisherman. Everything that we want the Gods hand will give us.

I write this letter as a call to arms. I will gather the solders and we shall march forward through the mountains and dark forest, through fields of wolves and towers of magic, and in our path shall lay a better future for man.

Irasis Knight

Head Master of the Priest hood.

They always have golden eyes, and wings. They have some healing magic as well.

All of the dragons are said to have died out years ago still their rumors that some may still be about taking the guise of other creatures. For Most of the dragons they are dead, and they left behind there heart when this happened in the form of a jewel.  The jewel is said to have the ability to give anyone who wields it the powers of the dragon. The problem is that the dragons will starts to insert itself into the body of whoever uses the stone changing them.  If they ever lose the stone it is said it will cause them so much pain that they die, or go insane searching for it again. People who have a stone are called dragon touched,

The stone of Illusion-   the stone grants the ability to charm humans and animals, to fascinate them in a illusion of the stone holders making. The more the user uses the stone the more they get sucked into their own illusion until they are trapped there and  no nothing of reality.taken by jayline

The stone of Healing- Can cure wounds and illnesses though they use the strength and life energy of the stone wielder to do this. While they will not kill the holder, it can cause them to slip into a coma
they try to cure something to serious.

Dwarfs

Dwarfs are stout strong creatures that live within the mountains. No one can outmatch them in close combat or the make of their materials. They spend most of their time deep in the mountain mining materials and pride themselves on hard work.  They used to have good trade relations with humans but that  has been injured by recant fights, and beliefs that the humans have about purifying everything. Female dwarfs are rare and guarded very closely.

Elf

Elves have fragile builds and are usually smaller then humans. They may not  be able to fight closer range as good as a human, but are masters with a bow, and are the best at using magic. They can use any magic without having any consequences except if they pick up a dragon stone. They are also very connected with nature. They live inside the forest, and any elf that ventures outside usual is accompanied by some sort of animal. 

Half Elves

Are elf and half something else. They are considered whatever  else they are by the elves and thus banished from their forest sanctuary, while the rest of the world looks upon them as elves.

Humans

Humans are the youngest race, but they are creative and versatile and breed like rabbits. Humans have taken over the entire continent. They are also are superstitious and seem to think that they are the superior race. They follow a group of priest and priestess that rule the land. When they decided the other r aces were cursed by God. The humans started plotting the genocide of the other races, a full war has not surfaced yet, but tensions between races that already resented humans for there sudden take over has reached new highs.

The priesthood

The ruling force in humans. They have spread all over the country until they have become a major force in the content. They are a group of Human and Celestial priest and priestess that say they are working for God and to make the world better. They have made decrees such as the humans are Gods chosen race, and that the other races are abominations that must be cleaned from the country in order to have  the Gods blessing.
They have temples dotted all over the place, but there major place of operation is In the city of Ai.

Mage

A mage is a human who uses magic. The problem with this is the human body and mind were not made for magic, but they have learned spells and other ways of using it. The problem with this is that it usually leaves the mage crazy, or destroys the mages body. For that reason all magic has been band, except for healers.

The Strati is a secretive sect of Mage that have found away around the problems of magic by carving  protective runes into their flesh. It also marks them so everyone knows who they are, A young Strati once said “ they mark to keep you as much as to protect you.” The more powerful you are, the more runes are carved into the body. Strati are recruited when their young rather they wish to be recruited or not, the first rune is put on their cheek, but varies after that.  They all stay in a tower and spend their lives studying magic. They are outlaws because they use magic, though no one dare try to  confront them within the walls of their tower. If one ever left, The law would come down on him as well as the other Strati since leaving is forbidden.

Vampires

Vampires are quick, deadly predators of the night. They are allergic to the sun and only come out once it has gone down. Vampires are a sickness, a collection of other creatures who have died and come back. Because vampires are dead they can become thralled by a necromancer and avoid them if they can help it.
The only way to make a vampire is to infect another creature which is done when he vampire bites another character. Because it is forbidden by the vampire council, a group of the oldest vampires, to create others without permission. A vampire often beheads the creature they feed on to make sure it dose not become one. Vampires live off the blood of others. Since they depend on others to live they frequent the most populated areas. They only need to feed about once or twice a week.
Vampires look like they looked before they died except they have red eyes and an allure to them that was not there before. They use the allure to charm there prey into willingly becoming their victim.
Their society is ruled by the oldest. The oldest vampires have covens Where all the vampires they have created and those vampires created and so fourth live in one place under the oldest rule . Every year the coven leaders meet together to discuss  the state of their race.

[Werewolf

A werewolf is a man possessed with spirit of a wolf, or a wolf possessed with the spirit of a man depending on how you look at it. Werewolves can affect other species if any of their fluid, ( blood, spit, sperm ext...) gets in contact with the other persons blood. It is strongly forbidden f or a werewolf to make another werewolf in this way.

When werewolves first become werewolves they only change on the full moon. Then as the werewolf becomes older, the wolf changes more frequently. First another trigger might set the wolf off like any strong emotion, then later the wolf can come and go as it wants. When a werewolf gets older something called The Rage happens to him. It is named that because the person could go off at any moment. The werewolf becomes a wolf more and more often until he can no longer change back into a man again. Werewolves look like large versions of wolves when they change, and act just like wolves.

There are two clans of werewolves the fang and and The changed. The Changed live in a small village by themselves and try to live human lives. They see this as a curse. Their forbidden from ever leaving the village for the safety of the world around them. Anyone who comes into their village is either chased out very quickly or killed. When The rage hits these werewolves the leader kills them.

Fang embraces the wolf and live there lives out in the forest as wolves. The Rage to them is the highest honor that anyone could get as it means they have shed their impure human body for good.  The two groups hate each other.

Name: Arandur:
Age: 45 (Appears to be in his twenties)
Race: Half-elf (Passes himself off as human)

Appearance
Birthplace: kaze
Items:
Stone of Death:As per above...
Hunter's Bow: A composite shortbow that is of particularly good craftsmanship.
Quiver with two dozen arrows
Thirteen inch, double bladed dagger.
A set of sturdy traveler's clothes
Small rucksack containing essential camping supplies
Portable fishing gear
Small pony used as a beast of burden and mount

Skills: Hunting, fishing, fletching, marksmanship, hiking, herbology, tracking.

History- Born a bastard, little more than the product of a one night stand between a bar wench and elven adventurer, he grew up in the small fishing village of Kaze  being practically a pariah. Treated as little more than a slave by his mother, and bullied quite frequently, it's a small miracle that Arandur is not a sociopath...especially considering the burden he bears.

As he grew older, he started practicing with a bow, with some of the town's militia. Some thought maybe he'd "finally be worth something" by being able to keep their citizens safe, but really, he simply joined for the education he wanted...and then he promptly left, along with equipment.

Arandur has  since learned quite a bit about traveling in the woods, and how to best make use of them.  He's become a free lance adventurer to support himself, and constantly roams about restlessly, looking for some place where he might finally fit in...if such a place might exist.

Arandur, several years prior to the start of this story, discovered the Stone of Death in a cave he had been hired to clear of some dangerous vermin for a company that wanted to start mining in it again. He literally stumbled upon the stone, and thinking it valuable, took it with him.

Over time, he slowly managed to puzzle out its power...and introspection led him towards understanding the consequences of holding onto it. Realizing, through trial and error, he could not simply let the accursed thing go, he has instead dedicated himself to trying to master the item.  When the urge to kill rises, he takes it out on cutthroats, bandits, and other assorted bottom feeders.

Every day for him is a constant contest of will; a challenge that his childhood, which he manged to get through with sheer grit and stubborn tenacity, has helped prepare him for. The question, of course, is....when will he finally lose that battle?

[bubby]

I would like to join as well. As with Hanged, if there is something needing change on my bio, I'll gladly comply!

Name Natasha Feria 

Age 200 (Elder)

Race Vampire

Birthplace Originally Xite

Items Stone of Fire. This normally might be anathama for her kind, yet it has made it possible to pass for human better, as it warms her flesh from it's normal deathly chill.

Skills Very capable of seduction. Can speak within the mind of her intended victims, can use ghostly touch from afar, and can give visions of a sexual nature to those she hunts. Her strength is intense. Her speed immeasurable. As an Elder she is supposed to sit council, but tends to avoid this, as she finds hunting much more pleasurable.

History Born in Xite, she was raised simply, her father being a minor warlord, and her mother was a priestess. Both were very involved with the Priesthood, and wished their only daughter to follow in their footsteps. Natasha studied to be a priestess as her mother was, until at the age of 20, she was overtaken by a wild vampire while on her way home one night. Left to die, her head not removed, for this practice was not yet thought necessary, she found herself needing to survive her new situation. And survive she did. She became ruthless, cunning, a seductive creature of the night. Yet as the years passed she watched and learned, seeing the rise of the humans and the Priesthood. To her, they needed to be obliterated. The scales needed to be tipped once again, and she made it her duty to Hunt as many humans as she could, finding the taste of priest much to her liking.

[Yorubi]

Sorry to randomly but in, but if your doing those maps in paint, you can use shift to force it to make a line. Should make the maps look a little more clean, at least if something uses straight lines like walls.  ^^

[abandoneddolly]

thank you. I really dont know anything about paint.

[Kaisude]

(Hope this passes I am really interested in this story. If anything needs changing let me know.)

Name: Teron Orein (Pronounced Ter on O rain)
Age: 22
Race: Werewolf
Appearance:

Birthplace- Forest Kagemisha
Items- Stone of water. Twin Blades(Daggers).
Skills- Teron posses great strength and speed as a human. He also has the ability to shift when ever as he pleases. He's a great hunter and tracker due to his primal race. He has a calming aroma about him that can calm the angriest of beings. He's not deadly accurate, but rarely misses. He's a fisherman from time to time, and actually enjoys the water more so than anything. He's also aerobatic as his build leaves him light and limber.
History- Born in to the fang clan of the werewolves he was brought up to be more animalistic than human. Though as he grew older he realized that he enjoyed being a human more. There were things he could do as a human and not as a wolf. Still he took pride in his clan, and followed them as he should. He excelled strongly in being a wolf, but found it hard to be a human despite liking it so much. Being taught to speak like one was rather difficult due to the fact that the Fang clan did not believe in such necessities and were stead fast in living their life as the animal they were. He was given the stone of water by his clan's elder who like him enjoyed the water. Deciding that it should be past on as the elder was at his peak before his rage would set in.

Teron despied that of his clan, and decided that he would venture out in to the world of the humans, and try to become one of them. In which he found most difficult his lack of communicative skills was proof of that. That was until he met woman who was a school teacher, who agreed to teach him to be more human like, though she knew nothing of his heritage. Slowly he excelled in learning how to speak the native tongue, and the mannerisms of a human came with it. Though his dominant traits would never leave him, Toren was pleased with what he had learned. His downfall was that he fell in love something humans explained to be a very powerful and if not kept under control could destroy a human.

As he spent more and more time with Annebethea in the small village of Ikeen the Fang clan grew weary of his missed presence they sent out a tracking team to find him. The leader outraged with Toren's actions upon discovering him sought to that he would never see Annebethea again. Though Toren pleaded they turn her. His cry fell on deaf ears, and he watched as the murdered her in front of him. The thing that humans had called love was the destruction of Toren. The very moment he saw his lover die was the moment the rage had set in. Challenging the leader to a fight to the death Toren made it clear he was out for blood, and no matter how it ended he would be free of this clan, and of their ways. The fight had ended with Toren allowing the leader of the clan to live, but he would no long be apart of them.

For the sake of Annebethea he chose not to kill him, and to him that proved he was a human. Alone his only clench at life was his memories of Annebethea, and his love for her so strong was what willed him back to being a human. Wanting to be a human more than anything, he swore that if he could control his animal instinct then he would never change again. Taking up his human life Teron found himself in Ai where he began his new life, and did as much as possible for himself to be human. Though the full moons still had their grasp on him on the days he was at his lowest. He would always venture out in to the forest during that cycle in fear that he would hurt the human kind.

[Yorubi]

thank you. I really dont know anything about paint.

Haha no problem. :) Should make your map making that much neater and easy to do. :) I personally suck at drawing free style with a mouse myself, I can't make straight lines for the life of me with a pencil, never mind using a mouse to try and do that. ^^;;

Sorry for butting in too. I personally love your story, but I'm a little worried that I might be overburdening myself with too many RPs lately. Let me mull it over. I might come back later. Anyhoo, good luck with your RP!!

[jayline]

Hope this works

Name: Laszlo
Age:27
Race:Werewolf
Appearance:

Young, tan and covered in lean muscle, Laszlo's defining feature is the eye he lost in a scuffle with guards long ago. His usual garb is a ruddy cloak and rags to conceal his identity and blend in with the local beggars.
Birthplace: March
Items: Stone of Illusion, shortsword(concealed) tools of thievery
Skills: As a journeyman thief and werewolf, Laszlo is capable of getting in and out of secure areas with ease, by use of trickery, tools, and athletic prowess. He's also quite capable of incapacitating those few who manage to get in his way on a mission, usually by the same means. As werewolves go he is able to assume the wolf form quite easily, although he finds coming back voluntarily is still exceedingly difficult.
History: Laszlo lived an altogether normal life in March until he was conscripted into, (reads kidnapped by) the thieves guild at the tender age of four. Seeing the value of a werewolf towards furthering their goals, they trained him up as one of their own, sharpening his wit and honing his reflexes. By the time he was sixteen he was ready for his first solo mission. He was to intercept a highly guarded gem being shipped from the town of Redcross to Ai. Unprepared for the huge dwarven security detail on the package he lost his eye retrieving the gem, but gained an extremely useful tool in the Stone of Illusion. Having discovered its powers, he decided to turn his back on the thieves guild and keep the stone for himself. He's been hopping from town to town since hoping to steal some secret to preventing the rage from setting upon him in his winter years. Hunted by guard and thief alike, only skill, wit, and the Stone of Illusion have kept him afloat so far.
