Sign Up Suiikoden: Hikusaaks war <M-VLS>

[PWNED]

In the beginning, there was "darkness."
Then, the "darkness" shed a "tear."
From that "tear," the brothers Sword and Shield were born.
Shield claimed it could defend against any attack.
Sword claimed it could slice through anything.
The brothers began a legendary battle.
At the end, both Sword and Shield shattered.
Sword became the sky, Shield became the earth, and the sparks from the battle became the stars.
As for the jewels, they fell to the ground and became the True Runes--The runes that all other runes were born from.

. . .


There is one man, corrupted by greed, who has the desire all of the twenty-seven True Runes, supports of all that exist. This man was once a hero. He unified a country and installed a goverment of peace, a teocracy. This man's name is Hikusaak. However, peace cannot last forever when you go stray, forgetting the purpose... The high priest, commander of the Holy Kingdom of Harmonia, owner of the Circle Rune, eventually began to use the Kingdom's military supremacy to try and gather all other True Runes. That was his downfall, for while he focused on that quest, insatisfaction steadly grew among the population, mainly among third class citizens. At first, the High Priest ignored the rebellions, letting some of his minor underlings supress it. But the scenario changed drastically with the ascension of a rebel group that nominated themselves as the Returners.

The Returners possessed some kind of ower that could easily match that of the army, a power that allowed them to distort the thin time and space and bring forth might warriors from the past. That started a huge civil war on the country. People suffered on the hands of both sides. Death. Unlike it was thought at first, the Returners were not a group that sought only to take Hikusaak and his teocracy down... They sought to completely cleanse humanity of its sins and start everything again from nothingness. But even with the power of those warriors, the Returners had no power to completely overpower the Harmonian army, for some of the people who were brought to the present refused to fight and joined other causes. That created an equilibrium in the war. Each side had its own wins and losses. It seemed that the war could just go on forever, prolonging the suffering of the people.

The balance was, however, broken down by the ascension of another rebel group, that sought to end the war and overthrow Hikusaak, implanting a Republic during the process... Destiny is something uncertain. It is of each one responsibility to create his own and help to write down History...

This is the story behind an RPG that I and a friend are creating which is based in the Suikoden universe. Before you have a go at me for using Suikoden locations for an unrelated story he is more details. It is set shortly after the Scarlet Moon empire aka Toran Republic is formed. By incident a tear in the timeline occurs and so characters from the games are plucked from history and taken to this time. And thats all there is to it.

I need some time to set up a character sign up sheet but feel free to check out the story and comment on it.

[COLOR=DarkGreen][SIZE=1]Sounds pretty cool to me, i've always wanted to try a Suikoden Rpg. Great backround story, it has a lot of history behind it. Iwas wondering which runes we can have .. true runes or just support runes?[/COLOR][/SIZE]

I'll let people use True Runes under certain circumstances and if they ask. I'm looking for more minor runes like Fire and Water runes.

[SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkGreen]Name: Royce

Age: 25

Gender: Male

Weapon(s): A large axe called Ramos

Rune(s): Fire

Physical Description: A hulking man with muscles that ripple out of his uniform, he is a leiutenant in the Harmonian Army. He has worn a bandanna tied around his large forehead since he was a child, these reasons unknown. Basically.. he's just a large, muscular man.

Personality: Believes in Hikusaak's cause and will stop at nothing to help his master in his quest for the True Runes. Though .. he still does have his own set of morals and will justly stand up for what he believes is right.

History: Royce was born in Harmonia, raised in Harmonian, and at a young age was put in the Harmonian army by his father. He has moved up the ranks in the army by showing brute strength and a never say die attitude, which has earned him great respect among the other men in the army.

Other: Royce was given his Fire rune as a commemeration of his skills on the battlefield, but he has yet to actually master its abilities. [/COLOR][/SIZE]

Not a bad character by you, That is the average of what I'll accept.


Now my character
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Dai Yonamaru

Age: 22

Gender: Male

Weapon(s): Dai weilds a pair of Shortswords he has named Crimson and Flash.

Rune: Lightning Rune

Physical Description: Dai is a fairly small man but he is actually very muscular for his height. His Harmonian Army uniform is in unusually neat for his being in so many skirmishes. He wears his bonde clipped short at the front and has a ponytail at the back.

Personality: Dai is a calm soldier but the only reason why he is like this is because of Disciplince. He is a firm follower of Hikusaaks cause but he wishes to come into possession of one of these runes so that he could become powerful.

History: Dai was bought up in a relativly poor family but lived a decent life until his parents died when he was 12. He was sent to live with some rich relatives but he ran away when he found out how his parents died, They had been killed when some brigands attacked their home. Ever since that day Dai has vowed to slay the murderers who did this and what better way than to enlist in th Harmonian Armies to find them.

They didn't allow him to enlist at such a young age but when he was Fifteen and had trained for years they allowed him to join.
After 4 years of fighting in border skirmishes with the growing Scarlet Moon Empire he came across a Lightning Rune that lay buried underneath his tent and soon got it joined to his left hand to help him survive.

Other: Oddly enough he was taught how to use the magic by a soldier called Geddoe who said he was a scout but was actually a fugitive although Dai didn't know that.
(Geddoe received the true lightning at about this time for those thinking that I don't have the right idea.

Yep, all those runes are fine to use but also ones such as the Sword Related ones in Suikoden 3. Also Weapon related runes like the Viper Rune, Titan Rune, Shrike runes and everything.
