Back Story

A long time ago in the kingdom Aurland there was a horrid plague spreading through out the kingdom amongst the towns people...the plague did not discriminate and it was impossible to predict who it would attack next. People young, old, poor and rich caught the plague which soon adopted the name 'the angels curse' it got this name because hours before the infected passed on they would become delusional and claim to see angels standing at the foot of their beds ready to take them to the after life.

People who suffered the illness usually only lasted a year at the most before dying; the first signs of having the curse was random nose bleeds, constant sneezing and coughing, loss of appetite, terrible mood swings, headaches then eventually becoming weak and unable to get out of bed.
However it was discovered that the plague was not something that could be passed on by contact with the sick people.

Many years went by and there was still no cure found and no explanation as to why this illness was occurring throughout the kingdom, it had also been noticed that Kingdom Aurland was the only place in the entire world to suffer from such a horrid plague.

There were many rumours about the origin of the curse, some even believed that it was in fact the doing of Angels...some said that the good people who God loved dearly were being taken away to heaven and that it was a blessing to receive the Angels curse; others believed that the angels stood at the foot of the deceased beds were actually demons posing as angels and that the sinful were being taken to hell.

But there is no real facts about the plague other than you will most certainly die if you get it.

Now.

The King of Aurland has just fallen ill of the Angels curse and it is said that he has gone insane, babbling about visions and dreams of hell and the end days that are coming forth.
He speaks of a secret cult hidden somewhere in the Kingdom, apparently he has tried many times to take his own life saying that to let the curse end you is the way to hell; he speaks as if speaking to someone else yet there is no one there.
He says that he speaking to the devil but this does not make sense because he also claims to be talking to God too.
The King has clearly gone insane but is still in command and still rules the kingdom. He had demanded that the entire kingdom be stripped of any religious statues or symbols and has punished many with death for merely having pictures of angels or crucifixes in their homes.
The royal family is scared and had contacted many doctors paying out much money to get the King back on his toes but nothing has worked.

The King has sent for the best Warriors and Mages in the land to attend a meeting being held in the castle...he has much to discuss and has orders to give; he wants someone on the case and his holding onto dear life with his fingernails...he believes that if the angels curse is broken he will survive but there isn't much time left!

Still Interested? Here are the rules.

1. Be literate...the odd spelling mistake is fine, no one is perfect and I understand that some people might have a little bit of trouble with spelling but please just try to make your post understandable.
2. Try to avoid one liners; although if there really isn't much to reply with then it's fine...just don't make a habit of it.
3. This is a fanatsy RP but try to make things a little believable, for instance if you get injured you will not make a full recovery right away.
4. None of the characters can be unbeatable, your character will have flaws in their personality and their fighting.
5. Post as often as you can, tell me if you're going to leave.
6. PM me your profiles
7. ((Out of Character chat in double brackets please))
8. Have fun with it

Race.

Okay, I'm open to pretty much any race as long as it goes with the story, no vampires or werewolves. The story will be set in daylight as well as night time so vampires are kind of inconveniant and I just don't like werewolves

Your character can and probably should have some sort of magical ability, however if your character is amazing at fighting then they can't also be mazing with magic too. Now I'm not saying that your character can't do both...infact it would probably be better if they could but they can't be spectacukar in all areas...a perfect character is a boring one, flaws make them more three dimensional and interesting.

This is the application I'd like you to fill out, try not to miss any of it out!!

Gaia Name: XDangerXStarX
Name: Darla Rudolph Morgenstern
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Personality: Often seems stuck up but is in fact just a little shy, she's usually very friendly but sometimes gets a little snappy and cold when she's under stress. She's quite distant and doesn't really get on in groups of people; she thinks too much about things and sometimes overlooks the easy ways because she's thinking too much. Sometimes she says the wrong thing out of nervousness around people since she's kind of socially awkward.
Appearance: Dirty blond hair, really long but tied back so that it doesn't get in the way, heavy bangs and short layered bits in her hair that she can't tie back so it often gets in her face. Fare skinned, light blue eyes, pale thin lips and a pointy nose. Stands at 5ft 6 and is quite petite. Usually wears a black dress with dark blue leggings, black combat boots, a black hooded cloak and a dark blue scarf.
Weapons/Magic: Very strong street fighter can also handle a light long sword (nothing too heavy) and a dagger. She isn't very good at long distant attacks with bows are anything. She has a bit of magical ability but not much. She can sometimes manipulate things around her to move but it wears her out fast and she isn't particularly good at it.
Profession: Assassin
Bio: Darla usually does a lot of illegal work, being hired by people to kill other innocent people. It pays well and she's good at what she does. No one in the kingdom really knows who she is and not many know that she works as an assassin. However she became very popular when she was hired by a very greedy thief; her mission was to get into the castle and steal many jewels and gold. She managed it getting into the castle without being caught, a few guards spotted her but she killed them with haste. She then left and completed her mission leaving the royal family dumb founded. The king ordered that who ever found and turned in the mysterious burglar would get a great gold reward so the thief that had hired Darla turned her in gaining much gold. Darla was thrown into jail until the king came to see her, he was shocked to see that the one who had broken through his best security system and killed the finest of his guards was a mere timid little woman. She was then hired by the king to do tasks for him, sometimes very simple things and sometimes very bad things. She's usually sent to other kingdoms to deliver messages to other royal families...she's paid a lot to work for the king only which keeps her off the streets doing illegal stuff.




Gaia Name: selphie395
Name: Anne Linn
Age:50 (appears to be 20)
Gender: Female
Race: 3/4 Human 1/4 Elf
Personality: Anne is a girl who always thinks at least three times before she speaks. Very patient, wise and calm, people often turn to her for advise. She observes everything around her, but keeps her impressions to herself. Can look antipathetic at first, for she tends to be sarcastic, but she's actually quite kind to those who know her.
Appearance: Anne is tall and slender, and her strong features have a elvish smoothness about them. Her honey-brown eyes are slightly almond-shaped, and her skin has a tanned tinge. Her ears aren't pointed.
Weapons/Magic: She is very skilled with her quarterstaff, which is of a dark reddish wood and covered in runes. It is said she made it herself, from the living core of a tree planted the day she was born, and that it has spells on it so it's unbreakable even against steel swords. Her elvish heritage gives her some diluted magic, specially control of fire, and she has great observation and tracking skills, and improved sight and hearing.
Proffession: Mercenary
Bio: Anne lived in a small town with her family, a happy comunity where nothing went wrong. At least, not until the first cases of plague started to appear, causing havoc amongst the people. When her younger sister got ill, she started journeying around the world to find a cure, an answer, anything. She returned, beaten up and empty-handed, to watch the little girl die. Now, she answered the King's call to find a way to stop the deaths.

She is very kind, always wanting to help everyone around her, sometimes to the annoyance of those receiving her help. Despite growing up in a convent she talks incessantly, always speaking her mind. She will try to end a disagreement as quickly as possible, as she deeply dislikes fighting.
Appearance: She has long, wavy, brown hair and big, brown eyes. She is of medium hight and rather plump, though the shape of her body is hidden behind her pastel green robes.
Weapons/Magic: A master of healing and protective magic, she has never learned to use weapons. Though she has knowledge of some hand to hand combat for the purpose of self defense, she will try to avoid a fight in the first place.
Proffession: Nun and healer.
Bio: Melany grew up in a convent, learning healing and protective magic so that she could better help those in suffering.After barely passing her novitiate because of her energetic way of being, she started her work as a healer in the area around her monastery. Despite her talent in curing an illness, she could not save anyone from the Angels' curse when it struck. The best she could do was to ease their passage to the afterlife. So after consulting with her Reverend Mother she set out to answer the King's call, hoping to find a cure.


Gaia Name: Stefnick
Name: Joyce Lydia Harris
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Personality: People often mistake her quietness for being shy but that is certainly not the case. She always thinks to herself, daydreams, and reflects her life in silence. She cuts herself off from other people emotionally, staring not at but past the people in her life. Because she always off in the world that dwells within her mind, she doesn’t always notice what’s happening around her, which is sometimes create unwelcome circumstances.

Her mother was a very wonderful person to be around, a very blight personality. Joyce and her mother were like best friend, she was everything to Joyce, so you can imagine how crushed she was when her mother stuck with the Angel Curse. Joyce mother was her world without her see saw no reason to live or she afraid of her unknown ahead life after her death. She dreaded seeing watching her mother hallucinate and suffer that one day she ran away, from her village, her mother, her fears; she just ran and never looked back. She finally stopped and truly thought about what just happen. She grew frantic when she realized what she done; she abandoned her mother. She lost her soul, she couldn’t forgive herself but had to something to make things right. Then, like a sign from heaven, word of the King’s meeting reached her ears. She will answer his call, not only to repent for what she did to her mother but also destroy this truly devilish curse that plagued her mother’s mind.
