Make comments about the RPG or give feedback and questions right here. Be sure to watch as this first post gets updated with chars and data. This is your new home in Durandel. [b]:::Characters[/b] [img]http://img31.exs.cx/img31/4572/radface8bk.jpg[/img] [b]Name:[/b] Rad Candel [b]Player:[/b] Dragon Warrior [b]Age:[/b] Twenty-Five [b]Sex:[/b] Male [b]Appearance:[/b] Rad has long black hair, deep green eyes, a height of 6?6?, and a light paleness. He chooses to wear goggles to protect his eyes from any thick smoke he runs into in the slums that he often lives in. He cloaks himself in red with a large flowing cape. His shirt and pants match as well and only his boot is as black as his hair. His right leg, like his right arm, was taken off during an experiment by the government and replaced with mechanical limbs. They gave a little bit more strength and he appears to not be someone you want to meet in a dark alley, but he despises the new parts. [b]Weapon:[/b] Tech-Scythe: A small rod that can extend and unleash a blade of a scythe in mere seconds. It?s handy as a portable and even handier slicing and dicing your foes. [b]Specimen Oddity:[/b] Rad has nothing to show for his experiments except his Mark and his two missing limbs. Otherwise, you?d never know he was a changling. It?s been numerous years since he had his experiment and he?s been practicing his newfound gift ever since, growing stronger with it and being able to hold a new form for a longer length of time. But being a changling isn?t always easy. [b]Information:[/b] Rad was adopted into a family. He was older than his half-brother, whom he never got along with at the start. He grew up in a Garden and had a sensible life until he and his brother were taken by the government for their ?experiments.? That was when he was twenty-one. He wasn?t able to return to his home in the Gardens because it was burnt to the ground by fools. He and his brother separated from each other. They both knew of one another?s whereabouts, but they tended not to talk unless needed. Rad tore out his tracking device from his body, so he?d no longer be found. He became a bounty hunter, using his changling ability to his advantage. He began getting odd jobs from several gangs of Durge until he was recognized by the Dead Letters. Though he didn?t officially join, he was allowed to do missions for them since an inside source assured them he was okay. But things are changing and with the rise of Rook Vanguard, suspicions begin floating around. Rad gradually left the Dead Letters and became more invisible to the society. He then just called himself Candel and kept to himself. He didn?t bother joining Rook, though he was well aware of it. He wanted revenge on the government too, but he?d do it his own way? and alone. [img]http://img183.exs.cx/img183/4787/blueface6wo.jpg[/img] [b]Name:[/b] Blue Alderidge [b]Player:[/b] Sage Kaley [b]Age:[/b] Twenty three [b]Sex:[/b] Female [b]Appearance:[/b] Blue has long, mid back length black hair that is sometimes confused for being a deep blue. Her left eye is a darker green and her right eye is deep blue. Her skin is a little more pale than most because she usually wraps herself in a tan cloak when traveling outside. She stands at 5?7?? and often wears a loose black tunic and baggy Arabian style pants. She likes the airy feel. [b]Weapon:[/b] Her trusty Double Blades may seem rustic but they serve as armguards as well, since they curve up and out and store easily in two rods that she carries on her belt. With a quick flick of her wrist they go from compact to deadly. [b]Specimen Oddity:[/b] Blue?s power may not seem important until you?ve seen it in action. Her abilities are to control and change water and air. The government planned on using her to see if a human could master the four main elements but when only water and air showed up in her they tossed her out. However a few times when she was provoked enough they did witness shadow powers. [b]Information:[/b] Blue?s life has always been hectic. As number 6 of 7 children, she had a big family to look up to. Her older sisters were all very talented in the arts, music, writing and just about everything else except combat. Thus, wanting to be better than her sisters she took up the double blades and learned to fight. However, as a daughter of great wealth she knew no one would take her seriously and so at the age of sixteen ran away from home to pursue her training. When she finally came back however after four years she found her family had been murdered. Deeply depressed and distraught she fled once more, running to the darker parts of town. Blue learned, after dealing with a gang, that her family had been killed for a crime against the government. Having no place to go, she took to street life and stopped caring about things, feeling helpless. Soon she was picked up by the government for testing. When her abilities failed to show much power they threw her back on the streets. However this gave her the incentive to care again and soon she wanted revenge for what had been done to her family and herself. This is when she found Rook Vanguard. Despite what has happened, she is sometimes still prissy but tends to be kind to others and serious when needed. [img]http://i134.exs.cx/img134/6854/lokesface5cz.jpg[/img] [b]Name:[/b] Lokes [b]Player:[/b] NPC [b]Age:[/b] Twenty-two [b]Sex:[/b] Male [b]Appearance:[/b] Lokes fancies himself handsome, so even in the heat of battle he tends to try and keep himself perfect-looking. Shortly after joining the Dead Letters he died his hair gray with blonde highlights to disguise himself from his past. He has dark blue eyes and always dresses in white. He wears a simple black glove over his left hand, though. [b]Weapon:[/b] Bullet-Gun: Being a member of the Dead Letters, he?s required to use the Bullet-Gun, guns similar to the ones we use today. The future of Durandel has brought around Electro-Guns, but for some reason the Dead Letters prefer the ole retro style. [b]Specimen Oddity:[/b] Unknown [b]Information:[/b] Lokes was only eighteen when he decided to hook up with the notorious group called the Dead Letters. Before then, his life was nothing, but bliss. But he found his true calling through gangster crimes and wonderful vice. He crawled his way to the top position of the Dead Letters within a year and a half and it was simple. He has a dark heart it seems and that?s what the Dead Letters? leader wants for his second in command. Lokes often does missions even though his life is rather important. If he dies, plenty of Dead Letter operations shut down. But he believes in himself enough to not let that get to his head. But his beauty does make him a tad egotistical. [img]http://img105.exs.cx/img105/9597/alisterface4kk.jpg[/img] [b]Name:[/b] Alister Gunn [b]Player:[/b] NPC [b]Age:[/b] Twenty-Three [b]Sex:[/b] Male [b]Appearance:[/b] Alister always made sure he was built and ready to fight government scum at any time. He constantly works out and gains huge muscle from it. He?s also a cyan-haired fellow who?s quite tan and 6?4?. His normal clothes consist of a white shirt, black pants, army boots, and occasionally some sort of classy robe. He tends to smoke cigs every now and again. [b]Weapon:[/b] Spear: Any spear will do for Alister to plunge it into his foe?s chest. He may also resort to fist-fighting if necessary. [b]Specimen Oddity:[/b] Abnormal Strength: Pretty self-explanatory. [b]Information:[/b] Alister Gunn is a real trooper. He once lived with his grandparents in the Gardens, but when they died when he was fifteen, he moved out on his own. He constantly buffed up, so if he met trouble he could put up a fight. Not to mention the experiments done to him for testing strengths. The effects weren?t sudden, so the government through him back out on the streets with a device. But once he began to feel a change, he cut the device out and began using his newfound power. It was a hard road ahead, but now he?s the leader and founder of the most successful-looking renegade group the world has seen. He fully believes in Rook Vanguard and hopes to finally take down the government. [b]Name:[/b] Aria Iro [b]Player:[/b] ThatOneOddDude [b]Age:[/b] 24 [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Weapons:[/b] Aria boasts a small laser stungun that looks like a magnum, but its blue and has a green cross embedded on the top. He also has a real magnum, but has no idea how to use it properly, though he has recently been training. [b]Specimen oddity:[/b] In times of danger, a third and fourth eye appear on his forehead which are able to lock on to a target, allowing him to aim perfectly. Unfortuanately, he cannot control who he locks on to, though he will not open his third and fourth eye unless his life is being threatened. [b]Information:[/b] Aria was born in the slums of Durge, and grew up an only child. Because he was a son of poor parents, he never had any toys as a child, so he trained himself to be a tough kid. One day, a man was being chased down by the government and decided to hide in Aria's house. The man stayed with then for a week and told Aria stories of how the government is corrupt. In order to keep the family out of troublle, he decided to leave, and left Aria with a laser stungun with a cross embedded in its top. Only 2 weeks after the man left, Aria found him dead in an alleyway. He decided to dedicate his life to taking down the government. He spent years practicing to use the stungun. When he was 18, he decided he wanted to singlehandedly take down the government. He was caught breaking into a government facility and was captured. The government officials operated on him, trying to create the perfect marksman. Unfortuanately, he lost all control of himself and began to mutate. The project was ended before the mutations branched beyond his arm. After his release, Aria immediately traveled back to his home, only to find that it had burned to the ground. He quickly dug through the rubble trying to find the bodies, but there were none. Someone nearby told him that the government officials had come and laid waste to the house 2 years ago. Aria spent the next four years traveling. He tried to leave Durge, but was chased down by the government. Along his travels he picked up some tatoos and battle scars. Just as he had lost all hope, he heard about Rook Vanguard. As soon as he heard about Rook Vanguard, he immediately sought them out. When he met the leader of Fook Vanguard, the he told Aria that there was a tracer somewhere on his body. The only place Aria hadn't checked was his arm which he had been to scared to look at. He found that it was hideos beyond imagination. The skin had eroded and the inside of the arm was a bulging red mass of flesh. Without the gauntlet, the mutation began spreading. The leader of Rook Vanguard quickly found the tracer, and Aria put his gauntlet back on. Finally, the leader took him to the garden. Currently, Aria is training to learn how to use a real magnum. [b]Name:[/b] Mint Dejon [b]Player:[/b] Pumpkin [b]Age:[/b] 24 [b]Sex:[/b] Female [b]Appearance:[/b] Medium length light brown hair with light brown eyes. 5'5" ft tall and has a slim body figure. Is usually seen wearing buisness suit attire or something more formal and rarely seen wearing anything revealing. She is always smiling and never seems to lose her cool under tight situations. [b]Weapon:[/b] Not very skilled when it comes to weaponry but carries around a laptop that she uses as research and when needed to actually fight can be seen throwing daggers or darts and has pretty good aim. [b]Specimen Oddity:[/b] Has been known to have abnormal hearing and vision to where she can track someone down by smell or sight from miles away. Her abilities are hard to control and sometimes she experiences visions of the future that are hard to figure out because they come out in pieces. Her abilities are not yet at their full potential yet. [b]Information:[/b] Mint grew up in a poor small house outside of the gardens by a harbour with her mother and her twin sister, Kelvia. She was always a happy child, even though she never knew her father who had gone missing days before she was born. She would play outside the gardens with her sister who was her best friend . One day, the government came to their house asking for Mint and Kelvia. They wanted to try and conduct experiments with twins since they had never researched on them before. Shocked and frightened, Mint's mother tried to hide her daughters in an old abandoned mill but were discovered. Because of her act, her mother was banished and she has not seen her since or known whether or not she is infact still alive. Mint and Kelvia were taken to the inner city where they were experimented on, but Mint soon grew ill from the mistreatment she received. Discouraged and having found no luck with conducting on twins, they tossed her out into the streets. She has no memory of what went on after she was taken from her house but has since had miscellanious flashbacks. She only had her memories of home and the times before she was torn from her family. Lost, Mint wandered into the gardens where she met up with a man that went by the name of Alister Gunn. He offered her shelter and food, and asked her to join up with the Rook Vanguard. She never wanted to become involved such a renegade, but the thought of finding her twin sister gave her hope. Hoping to find a way to get inside the place that conducts the experiments to help her sister escape, Mint decided to join the vanguard to reach more information about its whereabouts. To find her sister. To be reunited. To remember what happened. And to save the city of Durge in the process. [/left][/size]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=Gray]Hmmm..Looks like a great RPG, but there's something I'm a little confused as to. Can only two other people sign-up? And if so, or not, do we have to chose from the characters here? Or are those just the characters you will be controling. Sorry if I sound ignorant. ^__^;[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[Sakura]

[color=navy]Actually, I'm kinda interested in the same thing.

I was wondering if we're allowed to choose from these characters that you listed. Or are these yours and Sage Kaley's?

Sorry if I'm being ignorant too. ^_^;;

Only two other people aside from myself and Sage Kaley may join, yes. You create your own characters, though. The characters shown here are either characters controlled by me, Sage Kaley, or just plain NPCs. Rad Candel is my character, Blue Alderidge is Sage Kaley's, and Lokes and Alister are both NPCs. I guess I should specify that. Once I figure out who the two people are after sign ups close, their characters will join this thread as well as other NPCs as we go through the RPG.

Thanks for your questions.

[B]EDIT:[/B] ThatOneOddDude and Pumpkin's characters have been added. I'm currently working on their avatars and other graphics for the RPG. The RPG begins today! W00t!
