[b]Background[/b]

[i]The world of Gaia faces impending turmoil. The Chancellor of Verdun has ordered a rapid expansion of the nation's military powers, including the construction of the world's first long-range military silo.

These developments are troubling to Verdun's southern neighbour, Oleron. The peaceful land of Oleron is based on the use of magic and swordsmanship; not on the use of cannons or guns.

The Oleronean Guild of Power (the governing body in Oleron) has called a Grand Assembly, inviting the leaders of Gaia's other two populated nations: Esperna and Almaran.

As the representatives arrive in Oleron's capital of Meridion, a large explosion rocks the eastern sector of the city. It seems that someone isn't interested in peace -- the people of Oleron strongly suspect that Verdun was behind the attack, but there are some who suspect that greater forces are manipulating Verdun behind the scenes...[/i]

[b]The World of Gaia[/b]

[IMG]http://www.itsmysite.com/j-otaku/images/Gaia_Map.jpg[/IMG]

The world of Gaia is made up of [b]seven[/b] continents. Of those seven continents, [b]four[/b] are populated by a specific race of beings.

The map above uses colour coding to demonstrate where each race's territory lies. As you can see, Verdun is home to the Hume, Oleron is home to the Elves, Almaran is home to the Halbreed and Esperna is home to the Quart.

In the map above, the colored icons represent [b]capital cities[/b] and [b]important geographical locations[/b]. Specific towns and buildings are represented by numbers, which are listed at the bottom. Each number and its corresponding structure/city/town is also colour coded, to demonstrate which race it belongs to.

[b]Select Character[/b]

Selecting a character is pretty simple. But you'll need to read carefully, just to ensure that you choose wisely.

Below, you will find a complete list of possible characters to use in the RPG. Each individual character is given a number. In the select character field, all you need to do is type the number of the character you want. If someone else has selected a character that you want to use, you will need to find another. Only one model per participant.

Once you have chosen the model of how your character will appear, you simply need to fill out the following fields:

[b]CHAR. NUMBER:
NAME:
AGE:
LOCATION:[/b]

And now, I'll introduce you to the various races:

[b]Elf[/b]

[IMG]http://www.itsmysite.com/j-otaku/images/Female_Elves.jpg[/IMG]
[size=1]Female Elves[/size]

[IMG]http://www.itsmysite.com/j-otaku/images/Male_Elves.jpg[/IMG]
[size=1]Male Elves[/size]

The Elfin race occupies the nation of Oleron. Elves are generally considered to be the most noble creatures in the world. They are highly knowledgable and their society prides itself on knowledge and wisdom.

Elves tend to focus on non-mechanical weaponry. That is, they utilize everything from daggers and swords to lances and ninja stars. All of their weaponry is hand-made and in some cases, elves add magical qualities to their weapons.

In general, elves carry two light weapons -- one in each hand. They do not carry guns, pistols or any other kind of automatic weaponry.

Elves are moderately powerful when it comes to magic ability. And in general, elfin magic is based on the dark arts (offensive magic).

[b]Hume[/b]

[IMG]http://www.itsmysite.com/j-otaku/images/Female_Hume.jpg[/IMG]
[size=1]Female Hume[/size]

[IMG]http://www.itsmysite.com/j-otaku/images/Male_Hume.jpg[/IMG]
[size=1]Male Hume[/size]

The Hume are the wealthiest and most technologically advanced race on the planet. They occupy the nation of Verdun, to the north of Oleron.

Throughout history, Hume were perhaps closest to Elves in terms of their society. But in recent decades, the Hume have moved beyond Elves in terms of technology and society -- the Hume capital of Vin Kartia is the largest and most polluted city on Gaia.

The continual technological advancement has come at a price; the hume have completely forgotten magic. They no longer practice magic of any kind within the borders of Verdun and recently, it has become illegal to practice any kind of magic at all.

Those who practice magic are sent to Solace Prison, a prison which already contains thousands of people from all over Gaia.

Hume generally use some sort of automatic weapon -- a pistol, a rifle, a shotgun or even a high-energy laser weapon. Due to the fact that Hume weaponry is the most powerful in the world of Gaia, hume generally only carry one weapon.

[b]Halbreed[/b]

[IMG]http://www.itsmysite.com/j-otaku/images/Male_Halbreed.jpg[/IMG]
[size=1]Male Halbreed[/size]

[IMG]http://www.itsmysite.com/j-otaku/images/Female_Halbreed.jpg[/IMG]
[size=1]Female Halbreed[/size]

The Halbreed are an ancient race. They occupy the nation of Almaran.

Halbreed are actually a mixed race; they are half Hume, half animal. The combination is a unique one, because it gives the Halbreed much more sensitive hearing, vision and sense of smell.

In some cases, it also allows Halbreed to control wild animals through a form of hypnosis.

Halbreed are fairly peaceful but are often reluctant to accept outsiders. They prefer to deal with their own kind whenever possible.

Halbreed weaponry is fairly simplistic, consisting of basic swords, knives and clubs. However, what they lose in weaponry they make up for in physical attributes. Halbreed are the physically strongest race in the world in Gaia. They can run the fastest, jump the highest and they even have the ability to camouflage with natural surroundings.

Like Hume, Halbreed can only carry one weapon at a time.

[b]Quart[/b]

[IMG]http://www.itsmysite.com/j-otaku/images/Female_Quart.jpg[/IMG]
[size=1]Female Quart[/size]

[IMG]http://www.itsmysite.com/j-otaku/images/Male_Quart.jpg[/IMG]
[size=1]Male Quart[/size]

The Quart are a race which inhabits the western continent of Esperna.

Quart appear very short and look very young. However, they posess the longest lifespan of any creature in the world of Gaia.

Some Quart have been known to live for more than 500 years -- Quart do not age on the outside and therefore, it can be very difficult to tell exactly how old a Quart male or female actually is.

The Quart are tribal people who live in villages which sit amongst the branches of enormous trees. They are physically the weakest of any race on Gaia, however, they posess very powerful magic abilities. In general, Quart utilize powerful white magic (which can be either defensive or offensive). Due to their magical power, the Quart actually have a great deal of control over the planet -- they are considered to be the guardians of the natural balance.

Quart do not carry any weapons. They use magic, which does not require weaponry.

[PiroMunkie]

[color=indigo][b]Character Number:[/b] 73

[b]Name:[/b] Zaius ¥undra [ Zay' ? us Uun' ? dra ]

[b]Age:[/b] 54

[b]Location:[/b] Thira Town

[b]Bio:[/b] Zaius ¥undra originally lived in Antakan City. At quite a young age he grew tired of the city's dense population. He went on a long and tedious journey clear across his people's lands, all the way to Thira Point. The journey took him many years as he traveled on foot. He even had to create a small wooden boat to cross the water from one island of Almaran to the next. Traveling across he had many adventures through wild life which in turn hightened his senses and his ability to control them. Once he reached Thira Town he was welcomed in. From then on he has lived fairly peaceful for the rest of the life that he has lived thus far.

Though, upon hearing of the disaster of Oleron he has become upset. He fears the potential of great battle, and hopes for the reign of peace.

[b]Personality:[/b] Despite his age, Zaius ¥undra is one of the greatest Halbreeds in his particular town, not to mention great wisdom. He much prefers to stay out of confrontations, only fighting when absolutley neccesary. He is exceptional in the hunt and a skilled craftsman. His physical ability is often doubted, but he is no lesser able than any of the other younger Halbreeds. He is very strong both phsyically and in will power.

[b]Items:[/b] A thin, soft leather utility belt holding[b]:[/b] Basic tools [small hammer, pliers, sharpening stone/filer] ? First aid ( pouch ) ? Small rations (pouch)

[b]Weapons:[/b] Large, blunt club [ length: 4.5' ? weight: approx. 150 lbs ? circumfrence: 27" at its widest ]

[b]White Magic Spells:[/b] N/A

[b]Black Magic Spells:[/b] N/A

[b]Ability1:[/b] [i]Focus:[/i] Zaius ¥undra has grown the inate ability to focus his senses to increase their use. He can see as far as 100 miles over water* with crystal clear picture. He can hear things from great distances and even through objects, such as walls, but he must be in close proximity. His sense of smell is similar to his sense of sight. Only one sense can be focused at a time, and it isn't just automatic. Also the ability to focus them depends on his health condition. (ie: if he is sick, he won't be able to focus very well if at all)

[b]Ability 2:[/b] [i]Durability:[/i] Due to the Halbreeds exceptional strength, and Zaius ¥undra's wilderness experiences, he has developed very coarse, thick skin making it rather difficult to be pierced. Pain is also rather difficult to inflict upon him.


*over water: For those of you unsure of this term, it simply means as long as there is nothing obstructing view, things can be seen that far. If there is a mountain in the plane of view, obviously one can't see any further than that.[/color]

.He never knew his mother. Indrid now lives with his father in a small hut, high in the trees of the Kahn Forest. Due to this Indrid is an expert climber aswell.

Of late, Indrid has been searching for any trace of his mother, as his father never talks of her. He is determined to find her, and is readying(spelling) himself for his quest, on the search for his mother.

[The Harlequin]

[font=gothic][color=crimson]Char-Number: 26

Name: Lacroix Vukodlak

Age: 234

Location: Wasteland in the Auril Desert

Bio\History: Lacroix lived a complacent life until he was 53 years old. Reivers destroyed his family home, and brutually murdered his parents. Lacroix survived barely, the flames and the attackers leaving him physically scarred, and slightly deranged. Lacroix wandered the world for 160 years, not knowing who he was, what he was, or what his past was. Then, upon awaking, his mind was suddenly flooded with images. The attack, crawling away from the flaming wreck, his parents' blood staining his hands. Wondering where he had been, he searched his mind further, and found nothing. The 160 year gap where he was lost and insane is unknown to him. He is aware there was a large period of time, but he has no knowledge of it.

When he started to remember things, Lacroix realised a few things about himself were different. He had skills he had certainly no learned in childhood. He could fight extremely well, both with weapons and martial arts styles, and he was extremely acrobatic. Lacroix now wishes to find out what happened to him during the large gap in his life, and to find out just who he is.

Personality: Lacroix is a dark, introverted soul, with mental problems that still occasionally haunt him. He is almost miltantly pessimistic, with a depressed and cynical outlook on life. He finds company often oppressive, and prefer a solitary existence. He rarely speaks other than to make a point or to tell people to leave him alone, although he has been heard to hold long, rambling discourses with himself, despite his existentialistic beliefs.

Weapons: Twin scimitars, set of throwing stars.

Items: A small hunting knife for skinning, a small tent. Lacroix prefers to live off the land, and travel light.

Black Magik Spells: Static discharge (basically ionizing the air around him, a shield against any metal missles), Life tap (drains the life force of opponents. If the opponent is particularly strongwilled, this spell has no effect. If the opponent is undead, this spell is likely to harm Lacroix)

Abilities: Assasination: One of the skills Lacroix learned was assasination. Due to his increased knowledge of deadly arts, he is able to perform acts such as poisoning weapons, or killing without being noticed.

Weapon Arts: Lacroix is trained to perfection in twin weapon fighting. He blends acrobatics and martial arts into his combat, quite often discarding his weapons in favour of disarming his opponent and using his weapon against him, or some other such trick. Lacroix is loathe to use his throwing stars in combat, he reserves them mainly for hunting beasts too swift for him to run down.[/font][/color]

...James, why does the background plot of this RPG remind me so much of Episode II? o_O;;


[b]Name:[/b] Amadrienia Lómilmandel (Ami for short)

[b]Character number:[/b] 5

[b]Age:[/b] 17 (In Human years)

[b]Location:[/b] Kahn Air Station

[b]Bio/history:[/b] Ami was born and raised in a tiny village in the Kahn forest. She was an only child, and was raised by her grandparents. She had a love for adventure. At the age of 14, her Grandfather died, and she began to run the household. Bby the age of 15 her Grandmother had passed away, and Ami had decided to move away from the village. She had been working on an airship of her very own, and could now devote all of her time to it. She sold the family home, and finished her Airship, the [i]Drienia[/i]. Ever since, she's been adventuring around the world, living out her dream.

[b]Personality:[/b] Although she can come off as a bit ditzy, Ami is a serious, smart and occasionally mature person. She loves to travel, and is one of the few who actually own an Airship of their own. She's a caring and loving person, and doesn't like anything bad happening to anyone. She has no enemies, and has no rascist feelings towards any of the other species on Gaia, but is sometimes fearful of the Humes, and their quickly advancing technologies.

She can do this in battle as well, and use her Airship as a means of Offence and Defence. Her piloting skils are easily the best in Oraneon, unrivaled by even the best commerical pilots.

[b]Agility:[/b] Ami may not be a very strong fighter, but certainly makes up for it with Agility and effective blows. She knows where to strike and has the speed to get there. Her agility also helps her dodge moves and escape fights, which is essential, seeing as she has lower defence than most.

LOCATION: Meridion, Oleron

Bio/history: she has lived in Meridion for the past 5 years, nothing is known about her past.

In 5 years even the people who have known her longest have never seen her cry or smile, nor any kind of emotion shown on her face

Personality: difficult to understand, to many she seems cold hearted, she only speaks when she needs to and holds no regard for anyone else. She is usually the quiet one, the "loner", if you will.

[James]

[b]Char Number:[/b] 50

[b]Name:[/b] Luca

[b]Age:[/b] 19

[b]Location:[/b] Vin Kartia

[b]Bio/History:[/b] Luca has lived in Vin Kartia since he was five years old. Before that, he lived in the coastal town of Nara-Zemir.

Currently, Luca lives in a tall apartment building within the heart of Vin Kartia. His best friend, Rasanak, lives in the same building.

One of Luca's biggest passions is [i]Sky Hockey[/i], a sport which originated in Verdun countless years ago. Verdun is the only nation which plays Sky Hockey, as it requires highly advanced technology to work.

Outside Sky Hockey, Luca travels all over Verdun's enormous Desert of Solace with Rasanak on the hunt for Monsters. This is both Luca and Rasanak's primary source of income.

[b]Personality:[/b] Luca is a bright and cheerful guy who loves his Sky Hockey and Monster hunting. Outside of these pursuits, he has very little in the way of other interests, although one of his dreams is to travel the world and explore the unexplored.

Luca was brought up in a very stable household and as such, he has never suffered any major problems in life. Even though this somewhat contributes to his general cheerful disposition, it also makes him slightly naive when it comes to life experience.

[b]Weapon/s:[/b] Luca carries a long, thin staff made of pure titanium. The staff is technologically wired to Luca's DNA, meaning that nobody else can use it. Furthermore, Luca can simply grip the staff in different places to use its various functions.

[b]Items:[/b] 1x Grenade, 1x Pendant, 1x Sky Shoes (used in Sky Hockey), 1x Hi Potion and 1x Antidote.

[b]Ability 1:[/b] [i]Pogo Jump:[/i] This ability is based on Luca's titanium staff. By gripping it in a certain way and driving it into the ground, Luca can boost himself up in the air very high. It is particularly useful during battle and allows Luca to be highly flexible in combat.

[b]Ability 2:[/b] [i]Elemental Rod:[/i] Whilst Hume are not able to use magic on their own, Luca's staff is equipped with the ability to utilize the four major elements -- fire, ice, water and lightning -- in order to further expand the staff's capabilities. Luca can "charge up" the staff with a particular element and use it for added effect in some circumstances.

[size=1]Okay, there we go.

I have a few ideas about this RPG, which I'd like to explain.

Firstly, there could be an added benefit to having everyone select characters from the models I have provided.

I'm considering cutting out each player's model and making them seperate images, each hosted off-site.

My idea is that, whenever someone talks, they use the IMG tag to put their model infront of their name. For example:

[IMG]Link to Luca's model here[/IMG] Luca: Hi, I'm Luca.

See what I mean?

Admittedly, it'd require extra effort...although, it wouldn't be too hard to put the links in, as you'd merely have to right click the appropriate model (I'd put them all up at the start of the RPG) and copy and paste the link into the image tag.

That way, it'd be a bit more like a "real" RPG. If you'd like me to demonstrate it, I'll do so at the end of this sign up thread...so you guys can see how it looks. By actually using models within the story itself, we can always remember what the characters look like...and it gives us a better impression of who is talking (rather than just having a name and nothing else).

I think it'd be cool and I'd be happy to cut all the images up etc...but it's up to you guys, if you think it's worth it.

I have a few other ideas which could potentially make the RPG a little more interesting...but I'll introduce those later. ;)[/size]

[The Harlequin]

[font=gothic][color=crimson]Excellent idea. The artistic people might even be able to put a few personal touches onto their models as to better reflect their character.[/font][/color]

[Dragon Warrior]

CHAR. NUMBER: 29

NAME: Real Daskar

AGE: 17

LOCATION: Nuroa Beach/Village

Bio/history: His life has been madness ever since the evening in the Auril Desert. His father was an adventurer and merchant and collected special items. Real traveled with his father since his mother died of a disease after he was born. That one evening... it was the most terrible thing he ever saw. His father was killed by shadow creatures. He's been out to kill them ever since. he was only 6 when this happened and luckily he made it to civilization before the shadow creatures found him.

He lived with some old folks out on the Nuroa Beach. The place was good enough to call home. The painful memories of his lost family was hard on him through the years, but the thought of his brother still out there stayed with him as well. His brother was lost in the same desert, causing Real and his father to go there.

The world can be a crazy place and that's what got Real started. He felt the need to leave his home. A journey. He doesn't know what it is, but he must find it.

Personality: His humorous ways get him some places and his kindness can attract many friends. yet, his eagerness for adventure starves his appetite and he always leaves on that same quest of no meaning. If he had some people that'd dare to journey with him, maybe his life would let up a little.

and a puch to carry the items

Black Magic Spells: Bolt

Ability 1: Agility- He has increbile agility and speed which serves him well in a chase or battle or even escapes.

[SIZE=1]James, that idea rocks ^_^! Do you mean little avatar-sized faces, or just the ones you've shown us already?[/SIZE]

[Justin]

I think your idea is cool, James, and I'm all for it. I think you might have to reduce the size of the images, though, for loading time and all.

-Justin

[PiroMunkie]

[color=indigo]That is a great idea James. :) Though I do agree with Justin that that could be a bit smaller to save on the loading time. Still a very awesome idea. :)[/color]
