Beorhun Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 [I]The mage walked across the sterile, inhospitiable wasteland. The scorched white sand that bit like scouring dust when it was windy and the pale blue sky above were all that could be seen. This was the world after the cataclysm. But the question remained: What exactly was the cataclysm? When did it occur? What caused it to occur? [/I] [COLOR=Green] On the desolate remnants of the world lay a few scattered havens, known as Cradles, where the last of humanity lay. Many cradles were under the rule of the Temple of Kyros, which was a group of clerics that had broken off from the heathen Mages of old. The Temples preached about a great cataclysm that happened many thousands of years ago. They said that mankind had taken the power of the gods from the creators, and they were destroyed because of it, for they could not harness the pure power of the gods. For their insolence, mankind was cast out of the eyes of the gods, and their world was turned into the barren desert that it remains. However, one man, a cleric known as Arctherias Kyros, was able to create a few havens for mankind to remain, but they lived under fear, for the gods could strike them down at any moment. The world moved on, and mankind slowly built itself up, constantly living under the fear of the gods. The people working under the Temple of Kyros began to drift away from the Mages Guild where Arctherius had originated, and eventually cast them out, claiming them to be heathens who defyed the will of the gods. The mages resisted, saying that Arctherius was himself a mage, but the Temple said that Kyros had conversed with the gods, and that mankind would eventually be saved if they casted out the Mages. Their reasoning was that the needs of humanity outweighed the needs of the mages, and they were outcast. The people living under the Temple of Kyros' rule lived peacefully, but with a certain sense that something was wrong. A few people began to question the temple doctirine, saying that the mages were unjustly cast out and that Arctherius, being the last survivor of the great cataclysm, should make the truth behind the vauge at best writings of the cataclysm. Eventually, when the temple remained silent, a faction broke out from the Temple of Kyros, initiating full-out rebellion in the cradles where they had the most influence. They were called the Talon Faction. The mages, still scornful of the Temple's unjust judgement, began to back the Talons in their fight to bring the truth to the people. The temple cast them out, using their own mages to throw the Talons to the farthest corners of the planet, where the Mages had been put. However, that was not the end of it... The mages slowly built up their forces, allying with the Talon outcasts to make a final attempt at finding out the mysteries behind the Temple of Kyros. They live on a far corner of the desert, far away from any cradle, but they have survived, thanks in no small part to the arcana they are capable of using. They live in the subterranian city of Thalos, and they have almost amassed enough forces to finally assault the cradle where the last remnants of the world before lay...

Albel the Wicked Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Looks fun. If it means that I get a rematch with you Lord Eliwood, then alright. I will be looking forward to being the boy. Occupation: The Boy Mage Name: Fayth Leinier Faction: Mage Faction Weapon: A steel staff. It has a steel body, with a piece of oak wood, swirling up all the way to the top of the gem. Everything on this staff is black, except the gem at the top, which is silver. Well, it's not really a gem, it's more like an orb. Arcana: Fire, Air Appearance: Fayth is a little different then a regular mage, he doesn't really wear the uh, 'robe' that you see most mages wear. He dresses in a Navy blue shirt, as the top of his costume. The bottom part of his costume is a dark green robe bottom that kind of parts, which looks like it is made of dragon's skin. Then, he wears a cape, which is pure black. Nothing but black silk is in his cape. The gem that holds it at its place is a red flat circular gem. Fayth, also has a couple of other 'characteristics'. One of them is a huge gash that goes over his left eye. He can still see out of it, for the scar was created by magic. The scar looks a little like a cresent moon. To some people, it looks creepy, to some others, it looks pretty cool. In fact, it kind is something he uses to drag in girls. ;) Bio: Fayth, like all the other mages started with the mage faction. He was born there, which would only make him about, around 17 maybe? Well anyway, while growing up, he was taught the ways of spiritual balance by his father, so that he could have complete control over his powers. He meditated every day, so that his powers would be at a great balance. At the age of ten, he was starting to learn one of his Arcana powers. He was learning the way of fire Arcana. It was hard enough for him to control this power alone. He did experiments with fire, to see what would be the best use of it. Later, after three years, his air Arcana power was awakened. This made Fayth feel too powerful. Almost too powerful to control. So he was given his staff, to harness his powers through. Not only did this staff allow him to channel his powers through, but when he used the power of Arcana with it, it would increased the spell's power. This had become a great tool for Fayth to use. Fayth has many deadly attacks. One of such, is his great staff spin. He will start to spin his staff, until it is at the right speed, then launch it. Using his wind powers, he would control the direction it would go. It doesn't spin fast enough to cut through skin, but will leave a lot of broken bones and bruises if you are hit by it. As a backup technique, he will use his fire powers to protect himself. Well, there you go. I will be looking forward to this, Eliwood. I think that you might know the reason.

Beorhun Posted October 27, 2004 Author Share Posted October 27, 2004 Very good, everyone. I might be starting up this RP if no one else will sign up, but I'm going to wait a bit for any more signups. However, thanks Daermon and Bloody_Moon for changing that, the whole thing with Arctherius will play into the story later. Also, sorry if I seemed a bit nitpicky or whiny with that last post, but thanks for humoring me. Well, signups are really good so far, and I'm really hoping to get this RP off the ground for once. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0ber0n the Neko Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Name: Zirmas "Sir" Strassu Age: 26 Occupation: The Fighter Faction: Renegade Hunter Weapon: Knives and Daggers of varying lengths, A sword. Arcana: Air Appearance: "Sir" is a tall man of about 6'5". He is renowned for his hunting skills, and he is well praised. His mastery over air arcana makes him quick, and his reflexes are astounding. He reacts quickly, using a strange style of Dagger fighting. He can kill many enemies, but against isolated enemies he is very much reduced in power. He has a cursed scar over his left cheek. Bio: Zirmas had a family, a life, some adventures, but it was taken from him by the vengeful god Arturos. He is now cursed to live outside the sanctuaries, as the healing power that created them slowly kills him. He dedicated his life to hunting magical beasts and all things associated with the Gods. Often called a "Temple-Hunter", he desecrates all things divine. His life is dedicated to destruction, and he laments his own existence. He longs for a simpler life, but he remains out of contact with humans. Okay, Tell me if anything is wrong. I will fix it if you tell me to. -DK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
