'Once upon a time' is for a fairy tale...

Once upon a time... no that's not right. That's how faerie tails begin, and I assure you this is no faerie tail. Now it has elements of a faerie tail. Filled with trolls, dragons, young knights and beautiful princesses. For all once was about in the land. Back when the land was broken and in chaos. When wars were on not just fought on the front lines of men, but also in their hearts and souls. When the memories of the old are fronted with the hope for the new. So our story takes us back much further then the beginning. We go back to Arthur.

The story of Arthur and of his knights, Camelot, Merlin, the Holy Grail, and the Legendary Excalibur. All true true and all was beautiful in the land of Britannia. However also their was great betrayal amongst Arthur's own legend. The betrayal of his wife and closest knight Lancelot. The blood feud of his b*****d son Mordred. The encroaching armies of the Saxons. And last but not least of all the work of witchery at the hands of Queen Mab of the old ways.

Threw the work of time and ruin all that was great about Arthur was brought down. His knights died in battle or fled for sake of their families. The Holy Grail whisked away by thieves. Excalibur was placed back in the stone and Arthur himself died at the hands of his own b*****d son. Merlin disappeared deep into the earth waiting for the day when the spirit of Arthur and the glory of Camelot could be restored.

And wait Merlin did. For fifty years he waited till the roots in the earth told him of the children of Camelot. The sons and daughters of knights of old. Even the footsteps of those who would play great parts in this world that have not yet gone noticed.

He returned to Camelot to find it rebuilt and that a new king was proclaimed. King Rupert of the north. He took up the right of king ship saying he was the son of Lancelot. Many were over joyed at this news and agreed that he should be put into rule of Britannia. But those last dieing who remembered the once knight of the round table held grudges and disdain for the offspring of the traitor Lancelot. Other kin of the knights were soon brought forth. The grand son of Galahad and the twin boys of Gawain. Grandsons and daughters of Tristan, Boars, Eric, Griffith, Kay, and the others all stepped forward to help rebuild the hopes and dreams of good and justice that Arthur founded his kingdom upon.

Though the progeny of good lived in the land also does that of evil. Mordred, though cripple and old ,still holds much power in the mountains. Also it is rumored he himself has produced offspring with the aid of Queen Mab and her old magic. The long battle between the Old Ways and the new christian religion are still being waged in the hearts of the people. The tribes around Camelot are still divided and hold nothing then the shattered remnants of Arthur's past. Also the Grail is lost to the tides of human hands who can not use it's power, and so it has been lost to the world somewhere within Britannia. Excalibur lays ever frozen in place as when put by Arthur before he was slain.

And so our story begins. The youth of the past now stepping forward into a new future. And the choices they will make that shaped history forever.

'Once upon a time' is for a fairy tale...

:.1.:
This is a Lit RP. That means I have high expectations for anyone who joins.
:.2.:
If you have any questions about anything [Relating to the RP] Just ask me and I'll clarify.
:.3.:
Fallow Gaia TOS
:.4.:
I'm going to make this the most important rule of all. Give me a character with depth and originality. I don't care if it is not something completely new but I am so tired of seeing the same old characters pop up in ever RP. The dark bad a**, the whiny anti-hero, the all powerful guy with the doom sword... none of that. To put it simply. No god modding, power playing, character boosting, or [As I call them.] Cookie cuter characters. Remember! Depth and Originality. And no DOOM SWORD!
:.5.:
Cursing to a minimal please. Thank you.
:.6.:
Romance is ok, but don't let it detract from the story to much if you would be so kind.
:.7.:
Blood, gore, action... go for it.
:.8.:
I don't expect people to be killing each other but if it comes to it get permission. Also if your character dies for whatever reason you can make a new one. Seems fare and could actually make for a good twist in the story.
:.9.:
I love a good npc fight. However if your pitting yourself against 7 big burly guys make it realistic. Your going to take a few hits.
:.10.:
Here is something of a twist in Rping, at least I've never seen it. You will be in charge of your main character and his teacher. i.e. Sword master, bow trainer, mistress [teaches princesses.] and so forth and so on. This way even if no one else is on you can still further you character in the story by having them train. Also the more I see someone training or interacting with both characters I'm more likely to dish out something good that characters way.
:.11.:
PM me your character outline with the subject. For the Glory of Camelot!
:.12.:
I'm going under the assumption that every one kinda already knows the story of King Arthur already and the stories around him, but if anyone wants to know a bit more about him or the time setting ect just ask me. Or if you know something that I know or may have missed let me know.
:.13.:
You can have more then one character but if it is in a different class like a night and a prince then you will have to make another teacher profile
:.14.:
Everyone has to be human!

At the age of eleven he taped into his magical gifts. The Abby scorned him and cast him out for his connection to the 'old ways'. He then made his way to Camelot around the same time Merlin arrived.

[CresentMoon14]

CHARACTER

UserName: CresentMoon14
Character Name: Selina Hex
Age: 20
Sex: Felmale
Appearance: Long blond hair frames her angelic sort of face and black eyes that seem a little out of place. Her body betrays her work with her appearance not particularly pointing out that she holds a heavy mullet everyday, she is fairly toned but against her mature looking appearance you don't really notice.
Being an average height and weight she only really sticks out of the crowd for her long hair that id straight at the roots but as it falls past her waist it becomes wavy and her almost angelic face, but anyone paying attention to anything else will find small burns mainly on her arms and hands and see that her hands aren't as soft as the usual maidens and can feel quite rough at times, although she does soak her hands in oil to try and make her hands softer.
Class/Station: Blacksmith Apprentice
Biography: Selina grew up without a mother, which meant she had to learn all the feminine stuff from her friends while her father influenced very different behavior that she imagined her mother wouldn't have approved of. When she was five her father let her play with a mallet she could barely lift. When she was older he let her carry the logs for the searing hot kiln and put them in. She then became his apprentice at a young age and is still learning and mastering techniques for her work now. But even though she is suppose to be making horse shoes, swords, shields and various other things, she had found making jewelry entertaining, especially when her father catches her, he wouldn't punish his only daughter.
Weapons/Items: A long sword she doesn't carry around often and some 'Aloe Vera leaves' she uses for burns mostly but rubs on cuts just the same. She also usually has a roll of bandages on her just encase something happens in the workshop
Purpose: Become a good blacksmith and Win against a Knight in sword fight... It would be fun

TEACHER
Teachers Name: Maxence Hex
Age: 45
Sex: Male
Appearance: Maxence is a very tall and muscular man after many years of his work. His face has hardened over the years and at most times he seems like an old, stubborn man, which he is but Selina never sees that side, only when he is angry or tired or when his ale runs low.
He is bald, strong and has actually aged beyond his years due to work, but he is still fine, not that he really cares about his appearance anyway.
His eyes are dark brown and the stubble on his face is black turning silver, He has rough, large hands and is quite a large man.
Class/Station: Master Blacksmith
Biography: Max is a bit of an alcoholic that man, but he holds it well, usually only suffering the effects of slurred speech and a hang over in the morning which, over the years that Selina has trained, has lead him to leave the blacksmiths to her while he sleeps in and wakes up with a small headache instead of his usual migraine he used to get since he used to have to get up early.
Max loves his daughter, she was the only one left after his wife died of some unknown illness, he has experienced such heart ache, yet he is happy with his little girl, teasing her and glaring at most men just to tease her more with comments to accompany his glares that Selina would rather he not say.
Max had it tough during the fall of Camalot and reconstruction, he worked a lot on it because he could apply his blacksmith skills and younger backbone to different crafts, he lived he survived and now he prospers.
Weapons/Items: Battle Axe, Bottle of Ale

《☀☀William Gryet☀☀ 》

William sat along the north wall of Camelot going over his spell book practices for that day. His task was to use a small mirror to find Merlin's old wand, which was lost in the castle during it's reconstruction. His introduction into the art of scrying wasn't going so well though. Merlin was off gathering ingredients for some of his more powerful magic out in the woods and just left the instructions on how to do it in his spell book. The spell seemed simple enough. Focus on the image of what you are trying to scry and look into a reflective surface to reveal it. However Merlin didn't tell Will that you had to have first seen what you are trying to scry. All he had was an old sketch of of what the wand looked like.

"Blast you old b*****d."
Will said setting the mirror down and putting his book away. The sun was high over head and the wind blew little more then a cooling breeze. He looked down to see knights and squires training. Blacksmiths hard at the forge. The marketplace was alive and bustling with activity. Even the kings castle was alive with activity in preparations for the first royal ball. King Rupert had ordered it upon the one year anniversary of Camelots rebirth. All under the rule of Camelot was invited. Even the tribal chiefs of the neighboring villages and towns were invited as a gesture of good will and faith.

"I never lost my wand. It's your wand. You find it."
Will gripped as he leaned against the wall running his fingers threw his hair. He cracked his knuckles and decided to perfect his skill at fire conjuring. He could do little more then just a small flame in the palm of his hand for lighting a camp fire or candles. He had been working move the flame threw the air and could now move it about a foot from his hand. It took a lot of concentration and skill to conjure anything outside of the four elements.

"At least I have fire down enough to light a pipe in the rain."
Will extinguished the flame and picked up the mirror again and tried focusing on the picture Merlin gave him of his wand. He was picking up sticks and branches around the castle but not a wand.

《☾☾ Merlin The Wise ☽☽》

Merlin strode up the bath from the woods into the open fields before the gates of Camelot. He stood for a moment looking at the farmers who tilled the fields and those who were traveling from far off towns and villages of neighboring lands. Manny were gathering for King Rupert's Banquet and Ball. He thought that the whole thing was a grand scheme to sway the hearts of those who still refused to join with Camelot. Not that Merlin could blame either side. The land was left broken and dark when Arthur fell, and those who survived now had regained some of seance of normalcy and piece. At to Rupert's honer Merlin could see how the king would like all those to see that he could protect them and bring Britannia back to it's former glory as it was under Arthur.
"Flowery words and festivals does not make you a King, Rupert."

Merlin said to himself as he eyed the banners of clans he once knew. The Fen's to the west, Scot's to the north, Gale's, Veet's, and some of the Irish even seemed to make an appearance. He looked back to the high walls of Camelot and had to shed a smile at the sight of seeing it rebuilt back to the way he remembered them. It was also good seeing that there were still people who remember what Arthur and Camelot stood for. Even if they were skewed in their way of going about it. Still there was nothing Merlin could do but train his senseless apprentice all he could so that Camelot might have a hope of surviving.
"Well... I best go see how my incompetent apprentice is doing. Hopefully he hasn't accidentally blown anything up."

Merlin secured his pouch of ingredient's snugly to hid belt and proceed down the bath to the main gate. He looked of to glance at how the squires were doing and saw that there was a bit of an altercation between some of the young would-be-knights. A deep scowl swept over his face at the lack of discipline the Knights and Paladins had over their charges. If he had been there the knights would have been busy the rest of the day trying to figure out which frog was their student. William had already vexed him to that harsh punishment within his first week of tutelage. Although it did bring a laugh to Merlin's lungs it was a good way to keep the foolishness of youth in check. Still he would leave the punishment of the squabbling squires to the judgment of their teachers. He had his own student to deal with.
