Tales of another time

The legends speak of a time when the land of Rudlin was devastated by war. Azuctians, Huchians and Vendians wanted nothing more than to possess a powerful artifact: the Void Triangle.
Where did it come from? It is a mystery. When did it appear? No one knows. Who found it first? No one knows but all claim they did. No one even knew what the Void Triangle was capable of nor how to use it and maybe this was the true reason for those endless years of pain and destruction: fear. Fear of the unknown.

The lands dried, the waters turned red, the sons never returned. No one won, all lost. At last, a truce was signed between the three 'nations'.

As a token of trust between the leaders of each tribes, the old artifact was broken into three pieces. The blue diamond was given to the Azuctians of the islands, the red diamond was given to the Huchians of the mountains and the white diamond was given to the Vendians of the forest.

Each tribe protected religiously their treasure. The history became a story, the story a legend, the legend a myth.

Until the stones were stolen...the secrecy of it and the intelligence of the three current rulers of the three nations are the two only things which are delaying the inevitable: war.

Each king, queen or leader has called upon their strongest, smartest, most valorous warriors or subjects. For the first time since the dawn of times, the three tribes will work together to try to avoid the worst.Because, this time, war would mean the destruction of the world of Rudlin.

The races

The azure tribe of the Islands of Azuct

The tribe is lead by a group of wise men: three of them. When one of them dies, the two remaining appoint a third one.
Current elders: Paul, Prabhu and Johan

Physical traits:

- skin: blue tone from light to a darker blue, some might be more turquoise, others more grey
- hair: from white to black but always with a blue hint to it
- eyes: blue, green, grey, any declination in between

Element: Water is life to the Azuctians. They need a frequent contact with water, not just drinking but also swimming. They actually swim almost like fishes and can hold their breath for a while. They need to drink more than any other races or their energy becomes really low. They often suffer of dehydration when they go on land for too long. They love the rain.

Physical special ability: speed/agility/reflexes

The fire tribe of the mountains of Huche

The small kingdom is led by a king and his queen from the castle built on the side of the main mountain. Their male children are the heir to the throne.
Current King Darin Ist and his wife Queen Pam

Physical traits:



- skin: Rust, copper, brown, deeper/darker colors
- hair: from blond to deep brown, passing by red and orange
- eyes: gold, amber, red, hazelnut...

Element: Sun is life for the Huchians. Daylight replenishes their strength. Too long in the dark or under cloudy weather tires them and drains their energy. Although they enjoy the warmth of fire and have even developed a certain resistance to burns, they cannot manipulate that element in anyway nor can they use fire instead of sun for energy.

Physical special ability: strength/endurance

The tattooed tribe of the forests of Vende

The clan elects a new ruler every three years.
Current ruler is Ann Krom.

Physical traits:



- skin: white, very pale skin can take certain hint but still pastel: yellow, pink
- hair: black
- eyes: black
- tattoo: black, They are not as much tattoos as they are markings which develop on the skin of the Vendians as they grow up. When they die, their pale bodies are entirely covered by the markings.

Element: Moon is life for the Vendians. Their lives are somewhat linked to the moon cycle and they feel strongest during the full moon. As such, they have developed a mostly nocturnal society and see better than any race in the dark. (They will still see nothing in a pitch black room).

Physical special ability: developed senses

Mixed bloods

I know that some of you might ask so here we go...

Mixing between races is unusual and frowned upon or worst.
When two people from different tribes have a child, it will take the race of its mother and its abilities and weaknesses. The only thing that comes from the father is the color of the eyes.
Mixed bloods are weaker than people from their own race and ironically need more of their main element.
Example: Mother Azuctian and Father Huchian: the child can be blue skinned with red eyes. It will be able to stay under water less than a pure blood Azuctian and it will need to drink and be in the contact of water more often.

Skills

Fighting abilities:
a/Weapon: Pick ONE: sword, throwing knives, axe, katana, bow/arrows, staff,... you can be original
b/Hand to hand technique: Pick ONE: boxing, judo, karate, kick boxing, ...

Weapon range: This depends on the weapon you choose.
- Melee attack: sword, katana,...
- Ranged attack: throwing knives, bow/arrows...

Pick wisely. If you are a sword master and you try to throw a weapon at your opponent your chance of success will be low, if you are a bow hunter, your ability with a sword will be very meager.

If someone is interested and it makes sense with the profile, I will allow someone to have a second hand technique in replacement for a weapon. For example, someone who would do both judo and karate, but that means no knowledge of weapons at all!
You cannot both yield a katana and use throwing knives, for example.

If you want to create a healer profile:
instead of a weapon, you can choose Healing. You still have a hand-to-hand ability so you can still defend yourself if you are attacked but you do not master any weapon.


Other skills: Pick THREE
Skills which are not common and gives an advantage to your character.
Example: picking locks, pickpocket, premium cooking (which would restore better energy/health to people), ...
Special note: swimming (if you are not an Azuctian, by default you do not swim), fire making (if you are not a Huchian, by default you do not know how to make a fire), ...

Don't choose too vague, nor too narrow. If you have questions/ideas, just PM me.

You will be able to learn more skills as we go, but this is what you start with and how you will stay for a while.

Character Profile:

Once your character is ready, please PM me your profile.

Be careful to read the previous posts before creating your profile.
If you have question, ask first. This would avoid having me refusing your profile because you did not understand something. smile

Your character had NOT YET been called upon by their leader/king, so keep that in mind for your biography.

You are a warrior, a healer or someone skilled at what you do. You are not a god but remember you will be chosen by your leader for a very important task, so you are probably quite gifted in what you do.

Although I do not have a limited amount of spots, if I hope that the team will be balanced in terms of gender and tribes. So if you submit a profile later when some profiles are up, keep that in mind. ^_^
