Story So Far:
World Description:This RP will be based in the wild, and infamous forests of the planet of "Matri" A world filled with magic and rampant monsters. The planet of Matri is one so very saturated with raw magic power that any mortal being who sets foot, (or paw) apon it's lush surface finds his or herself able to comunicate with any of the planets inhabitants. Unlike many a world, Matri has never been 'cultivated' or industrialized, while they do have many of modern earth's conviniences, they planet is still wild with living green growth. Settlements on Matri are ussually clusters of small towns scattered about in the forest there are roads that lead from one to another but traveling them is just as dangerous (if not more so) than tramping aimlessly through the thick jungle-like trees.Matri is inhabited by many dangerous and irritating creatures, including but not limited to, Gadmirs, giant acid-spitting cobras, larger than an 'anaconda' Hokkas, dog-sized nearly sentient rats. they will eat almost anything. Buzzar dragons, A.K.A "Mini-dragons". small brightly colored lizard-like dragon's with wings, who chase anything remotely "shiny" or will torment anyone who strikes their fancy. feral dragons, a matritian dragon who has gone insane and reverted to its base and predatorial instincts Loulgers, which are enormous and inteligent crocodile-like creatures. Ferealas, long-legged, long necked, carnivourous mammilian creatures which can be utilized as mounts if one first castrates and declaws them. and if one is bold and or stupid. Glyers, small winged monsters similar to pteredactyls with blade-like spikes along their wing edge. they use these spikes to dismember their prey. These are ussually found in the scourge plains. Gazles, four-legged, armored, mammals. They vaugely resemble ankleosaurs. Rakfants, Deer-like creatures with horns that resemble oversized bottle openers. they also have extermely sharp cloven hooves and armored fore-legs. The most dangerous of all are the immortal "Beasts of Misery" Large animal-like creatures, with the ability to perform limited shape shifting as well as specific elemental control. There are only a handful of these monsterous creatures but they are well known and feared, the most prominant of which is the beast of Fury and Fire, Feralina. Followed by the Beast of Pain and Earth, Cirez. Then the Beast of Water and Sorrow, Siobe, and finally the Beast of Confusion and Air, Arelis. these four beasts did end up bearing offspring, the most well-known of which is Siobe's son "Misopan," Beast of Hate and Darkness.
Despite the numerous dangers of Matri it remains a popular mutiversial tourist attraction. and Dimension travelers visit the planet so often that even the lowliest of it's inhabitants is exasperatedly familiar with them.
Playable RacesWolves- Just like earth wolves and in the same variety, they are inteligent and widely accepted. and due to Matritian magic can speak "english" or common. Cercanths- similar to wolves but larger and more sophisticated. They have small horns and spines decorating their backs and legs. Like wolves they speak common. Humans- I expect all of you are familiar with the human race Gryphons- Large mythical creatures with the fore-parts of an eagle and the hind-parts of a lion. Matritian Gryphons come in wide ranges of metalic "precious metal' colors, including gold, copper, bronze, brass, and the royalty is Silver. Matritian Dragons- Legendary Dragons, long semi-reptilian creatures, which meander on four legs and have the ability to breath fire. Their heavily scaled and armored hides come in a large variety of colors and paterns. everything from stripes to spots to blotches. and no two dragons, (unless they are 'identical twins') have the same coloration or markings. These dragons also have large bath-like wings, leathery with scales covering the outer side. they can fly with these. Sacri Dragons- Dragons native to the island of Sacri, they are mammilian dragons covered in fur, which give birth to live young. they also run on two legs and can live off of fruit. Lightning Birds- Enormous sentient birds with rainbow-colored feathers, they have the unique capability to fly outside of the planet's atmosphere, where they target their prey and streak down at impossible speeds to catch their food, they flame-retardant feathers are wreathed with flame as they re-enter the atmosphere, and they look like a streak of blazing light, hence the name, 'Lightning Birds'. Kaijins- Basically very similar in nature to "Saiyans". They reseble humans wit long prehensile tails, and thick, spiky black hair. They are born with super-human strength and a natural gift to manipulate the energies around them. They are were not native to Matri but one of matri's rulers brought them here. Unicorns- just like the mythical beasts. Elegant horses with a single spiraling irridescent horn sprouting from the middle of their foreheads, this horn can be almost any color and is often pearlized or metallic. Unicorns on Matri also possess the innate ability to shape-shift. They also come in almost any solid color. including, Black, White, blue, Red, Purple,..ect. and their hooves are often in colors cooresponding with their horns. Chimeras- Due to the polymorphing nature of unicorns, and their unusual attraction to species other than their own. Matri is crowded with a wide variety of "Chimeras" or beings of multiple races, (I.E. half Dragon, or quarter gryphon / human...ect...) So if you choose you may be a creature born of any of the above, provided of course you have unicorn heritage. (please no more than half or quarter breeds please!) Off-worlders / Tourists- If you do not desire to be one of the native inhabitants of Matri, than this world is very versitile, due to the dimensions attraction, people and races from almost any other world / culture have been known to find their way here. So you may choose a character from vitually any background! (I.E. 'Sesshomaru', from "Inuyasha" or a 'dragon rider' from "pern" ect..) Character Creation

Moderator Characters.
-Illusor Meaneld- (played by Illusor Meaneld)
Origin: Illusor is a Matritian Native, He appears human except for his oddly silver hair... In truth, a truth that few people actually know, is that far back in Illusor's ancestors there was an out of wedlock offspring of a partial unicorn and Gryphonic royalty. This heritage lay so distant that Illusor does not even possess the unicorn gift of shape shifting.
Appearance: Illusor, if he is human, must be the single most perfect male specimen alive, at least that is everyone's first or second impression of him. He appears to be young, maybe early 20s (or equivelent). His face is smooth, and umblemished as though carved from marble. His long waist length silver hair is styled artfully in braids and beads. He wears a loose comfortable robe, with silk slacks tucked into shin high decorated boots.
Abilities & Skills: Illusor is THE single stongest magic user on Matri, a planet which is famous for it's powerful sorcerers. He is a white mage, healing adept though, and highly disinclined to combat. When he must fight he specializes in white fire and white lightning, in addition to a virtually perfect dodging capacity.
History: His past is a mystery. He is known by few, and seemed to have lived as a hermit in the hidden reaches past the infamous town of "partay".
Purpose: No one really knows what Illusor's true purpose is. Some believe he hasn't decided himself.
-Erevek Knightmage or "Vek"- (played by Ermak Lorde)
Origin: Erevek is a Matritian Native, and Royalty of the "kightmage" bloodline. but unlike his fellow Matritians his blood does not completely originate from his home world. He is probably the truest and most complex definition of the word "Chimera" Upon his birth, one of the goddess's of Matri, 'Kiabra' decided to embue this young boy with DNA and powers from almost any magical creature you could think of. in very small, but still significant degrees. Had his DNA not been meddled with, Erevek would have been 1 quarter dragon, 1 quarter human, and half Saiyan, with Unicorn magic and traits thrown in. (due to the fact his mother was a half Unicorn / Human, who used a magic spell to transform herself into a kaijin, before gaving unexpected birth to Vek) Also he is one of Ermak Lorde's pupils and has a version of young Angel who constantly harrasses him.
Appearance:Due to his Unicorn blood, "Vek's" appearance can vary depending on his mood and what doo-dad he is meddling with at the time, but his natural form, looks like an overly tall (nearly eight feet), 18 year old human figure with claws, fangs, a long tail that is both scaly and furry, and huge dragon wings sprouting from his back. He has incredibly long hair which appears as though it has never been cut (or brushed) that reached his calves. this hair is a deep Crimson red. His eyes, which are slitted, are both blue and brilliant green. and look like a painter had thrown the colors on the same surface without care. his figure is lean (nearly scrawny) and very solidly muscled without an ounce of excess weight.
Abilities: Erevek is a powerful polymorpher, it was a gift granted from his original DNA, that was only enhanced with the godesses meddling. He is also one of the most persistant and knowledgable Dimension travelers around. Another of his original gifts is partial Saiyan heritage, and his torturous training from Prince Vegeta himself. (whom Vek avoids like the plague) Vek owns several "Dimension Devices" and a few artifacts which grant him the ability to fully utilize one or more of his "DNA sets" ((become full human, saiyan, Dragon, Unicorn, ect...))
History: Erevek, as a very young boy, was 'assigned' to Ermak because his parents discovered a prophecy that concerned their murder. Vek was taken away from his home with no knowledge of this and only a few scant months later his entire family was ruthlessly slaughtered. His sense of abandonment was only heightened when Ermak, whom he considered like an older brother, decided to place him under the tutelege of Vegeta. ((hoping to draw out his saiyan powers since Ermak is no Saiyan)) Vek tends to be very bitter concerning familial matters and forsakes all ties to his home planet. ((the people are OK to him.)) He spends what little time he can escape from Vegeta's training regeme traveling Dimensions and finding his own amusement.
Purpose: Vek has a very strong sense of justice, if he thinks a specific person or group is being cruel or evil he will interfere to stop it. Ironic, since he is good friends with the lord of Rifts. And exactly whom Vek decides is evil or wrong might not agree with most people's Idea of the word.
-Misopan Kurai- (Played By Misopan Kurai)
Origins: Matri, Misopan is the son of The Beast of Sorrow and Water and his father was half kijin and half.....something else.
Appearance: Misopan is 5'6" and therefore much shorter than most people on Matri. He has spiky black approximatly shoulder length hair whcih he keeps tied back in a ponytail. He also as a beast for that seems to be a strange mix between a dolphin and some form of canine.
Abilities and Skills: Misopan Tends to disdain weapons, he is a fist fighter and very powerful, unfortunately his technique leaves something to be desired, fighting somewhat like a mad dog and he has very bad defense.
He also controls and can become darkness, and while not a true ability his black blood is so foul that no creature can taste of it and ever wish to repeat the experience. THe same can be said of his breath when he assumes his beast form.
History: Misopan's father left his family when Misopan was only 10 years old, he balmed himself for the problems and he was digusted with his mother's insatiable grief. He went to the castle where some of his family lived but had serious trouble getting along with other kids. He is very bitter, and tends to keep himself distanced.
Purpose / Goal: Misopan wanders fairly at random, and travels with Dyonisu because "that scrawny living popsicle gets himself into interesting situations" in this comment, the word interesting seems to be a synonym for dangerous.
Other: The only time Misopan shows even a semblence of respect is when interacting with people who he is aware can beat the living daylights out of him. He actually can be sort of polite when he first meets someone but can be easily wearied and will revert to a mocking demeanor when annoyed. For the most part he will just avoid people.
-Fubrant/Noctis- (Played By The demon Angel)
Origins: Fubrant was born and raised on Matri. He is entirely human, though not without power, and approximately 120 years old, a fact that makes many suspicious of him.
Noctis is an ancient extra dimensional being known by some as a Soul Reaper. His powers and motives are completely alien to the human mind.
Appearance: Fubrant appears to be an ordinary, if stern, old man. He has a shaved head and washed out blue eyes. He physically looks very frail, yet his body seems more resilient than it should be.
Noctis, when he is actually seen, is a wraithlike specter made of shadow with piercing red eyes. His departure is always accompanied by the effect of the spectator questioning whether what they saw was real, followed shortly after by completely forgetting the encounter.
Abilities and Skills: Fubrant is a master of very old intricate spells, perfect for enchantments and truth spells and other such incantations one would expect from a former judge. However it seems he has very little actual training or ability towards actual battle. The Soul Reaper however is a very powerful being both mystically and physically, but for those that do not knoww him this remains mostly unknown.
History: Fubrant has served the Crown his entire life. He highly respected his masters, with the exception of Tanya Knightmage. He had no quarrel toward her specifically he simply thought the woman completely mad. When the murders occurred none were more deeply aggrieved than Fubrant himself, but seeing the chaos unfolding he decided to take control of the government, in hopes to solve the problems.
Noctis actual abilities and skills are largely unknown, however it is obvious for the short time anyone might see him that he is immensely powerful both mystically and physically.
Purpose / Goal: Fubrant seeks only to do what is best for matri, however he is extremely prejiduced toward Kijins.
Noctis would have finished off Fubrant long ago if it weren?t for his own paranoia, and obsessive thoroughness. He has spent many years trying to confirm a suspicion, that a Knightmage still lives. Only once he?s satisfied that his plans did indeed work, will he begin the next step of his dark design.
Other: Fubrant is often possessed by an entity of oblivion known only as a Soul Reaper. When this creature takes hold of him he has no recollections of what happens. He realizes the gaps in his memory but writes them off to his old age and doesn?t speak of them, lest his enemies use it against him. He has become extremely paranoid, while some of it was merely his traditionalist personality and immense distrust of the Kijins, a great deal of it now comes from the creature which influences his every action, waiting only for the right time to devour him, and twisting the old man's mind. Eventually nothing of Fubrant will be left but his body and that will be in the full power of Noctis.

Other: can't resist temptation for sarcasm, is always relaxed, changes his name and appearance frequently for no apparent reason, except that he is wanted in several countries, for everything from petty theft, to murder, to flagrant disrespect of authorities, to...you get the idea. -Drakian Moteru Knightmage- (Played by "Furry1337Otaku")Origins: Matri. Like Erevek he is a child of Tanya and Kantagon Knightmage and also like his younger brother his DNA was meddled with, only his incorporates genes only from the Creatures of matri as opposed to every known species in the multiverse. Appearance: In human form Drakian is a very tall very well muscled man with a chronic 5'o'clock shadow. He has emerald green eyes and steelgrey silver hair. In his natural form, drakian is well over 10 feet tall, mostly due to his draconic talons he also Has large wings and a powerful tail. He looks about 25 but in reality is closer to 75. His hair color actually has nothing to do with his age, but the fact that he too was meddled with by the goddesses. Abilities and Skills: Drakian is extraordinarily fast, despite his fairly bulky build. He has a very large sword which he weilds quite well when he isn't drunk. History: Drakian is the eldest son in the Knightmage Family. As a child he was very bright young prodigy, however, at the age of seventeen his one true love died before his eyes. Since then he is a notorious drunkard and was considered the best gigalo in the town of Par until he retired shortly after the murder of the royal family. (while he lived in Parte he was known only as Drakian Moteru and very few people know he is actually an heir to the throne) Purpose / Goal: Drakian acts like a slobbish drunkard, but spend enough time with him and you'll begin to learn he drinks only to temporarily drown out his tragic past. Other: Drakian is prone to lose control of his sanity whenever he is in the presence of Gadmir serpents as one of them is what triggered his first "Dragonrage" -Andrea Jamie Wayfarer- (Played By Furry1337Otaku)Origins: Matri, she is half Kijin, and approximately one quarter dragon. The rest is human. Appearance: Andrea is above average height but fairly short compared to her companions, a fact Vek tends to hinge upon. She has perfectly straight black hair to her shoulders, and icy blue eyes. Abilities and Skills: Andrea is a very skilled swordfighter, she uses her grandmother's sword technique which is based on an in penetrable defense. She carries two short swords on her hips and two nodachis strapped to her back. A barrage of throwing knives are secured across the front of the straps but andrea has little use for them. All of her weapons and most her usual outfit was inherited from her grandmother. History: When Andrea was a child she lived a pretty good life. When she wasn't touring the planet with her family she was one of Eravek's very few playmates. Then came Fubrant's hostile takeover, when essentially every being of Kijin descent was sent off planet to a small hostile planet which barely supports life. Andrea was fortunate to avoid being caught and was raised by her grandmother. However this too came to an end when a evil sword possessed the old woman, frocing Andrea to kill her in defense. Since then Andrea has become a minor bounty hunter, mainly going after problem animals (such as feral dragons, gadmirs and loulgers) which attack towns. Purpose / Goal: Andrea follows Vek becuase he saved her life when a Gadmir attacked her. But there are times that it seems she follows him for more reasons than simply gratitude. Other: Andrea is like the girl-next door...with a short temper and sharp metal objects. -Dyonisu Knightmage- (Played By Misopan Kurai)Origins: Matri, only he's not even born till about twenty years into the future, he is Drakian's grandson and has a lot of god-blood in him, his mother was the daughter of Kiabra and his father born of the beast of fury. Appearance: Physically Dyonisu is pretty frail. He is very tall and thin. He has a mullet like hairstyle where it is buzzed on the top of his head, but the rest of his hair is in a ponytail which reaches the back of his knees. Both his hair and eyes are a very pale blue. Abilities and Skills: Dyonisu is very good with magic and loves to have a good arcane discussion. He has elemental control over Ice due to his god-blood. His god-blood also allows him to bend the dimension. It is very difficult for him to control this power and when he feels frightened(which is pathetically often) small dimensional rips start to appear. On a few rare occasions, he has actually teleported into other worlds. It was in this fashion that he traveled to this time and the strain knocked him unconscious for about a week. History: Dyonisu has had many people in his life die. His mother died giving birth to him and his father committed suicide. He was raised by an aunt who died tracially by slipping on a bar of soap in the shower (she is actually the first person in all of matri's history to actually have done so) So in result Dyonisu is afraid to really get to know anyone, with the exception of Misopan, who really cannot be counted as his friend. Purpose / Goal: Dyonisu time traveled in an attempt to meet his father when the man was still sane, unfortunately he overjumped his time and is stranded in this timezone until he can gather the strength to warp back. Other: It is cruel to say but Dyonisu is actually a coward, when faced with serious danger to himself, he is known to wet himself, faint or run away. -Leo- (Played By Blue_Elf)Origins: Matritian Native: Chimera (1/4 Unicorn, 1/4 Gryphon, 1/2 Human.) Appearance: Due to his Gryphon and Unicorn Heritage, Leo has a very "Wild" look to him. With tan, almost bronze skin, and a light grey silvery Hair, Leo is often confused for a much older Man. Abilities and Skills: Leo has a natural talent for Magic and favors the raw destructive forces rather that the gentle ones (though he secretly entertains thoughts of necromancy.) Leo fights with bracers and Cat Claws, as well as throwing knives when the situation requires it. History: Leo's talent in magic was recognized at an early age and he was taken in as an apprentice to a master wizard. It didn't last however because his destructive nature was soon recognized. Leo now wanders Matri seeking whatever form of employment/recreation he can find. Purpose / Goal: Leo seeks to become an accomplished and respected sorcerer (or perhaps even necromancer) Other: Leo remains as a human most of the time, though he can polymorph into a half-unicorn-half-gryphon with some difficulty. -Auron- (played by The demon Angel)Origins: A long dead guardian from the land of Spira. Roughly in his late 30s physically. Appearance: Auron is tall and muscular with a light tan, and dark hair. He once had a scar across his eye imparing his vision, but that seems to have disappeared along with his recent reincarnation. He wears dark laquered combat armor under a long red coat. He leaves one arm unsleaved at all times, and wears yellow sunglasses. Abilities and Skills: Auron is a master of Bushido, the way of the warrior. His swordsmanship is legendary in his own world, and he carries an extremely heavy and powerfulMasamun Katana. History: Auron was a guardian to the summoner Braska, but was disillusioned in his faith after completing theirpilgrimag. He died, but remained among the living to carry out his task, set upon him by his best friend, Jecht. He watched over Jechs son within a dream, and then assisted the boy in accomplishing what none other could. Together along with a number of friends and allies they defeated the vastly powerful entity known as Sin, and brought peace and tranquility to their world. Only then did Auron accept the death which had been slated for him. However, he has since awoken to find himself in a strange new world, along with another unusual being who also claims he should be dead. Together they will seek out the reason for their reincarnation. Purpose / Goal: Auron desires above all else to discover why he is no longer dead. After that he seeks to further his long dormant training, and perhaps return to his own world. -Raziel- (played by The demon Angel)Origins: Raziel was born in Nosgoth, and was a Saraphan Priest before he was slain by himself, and then raised as a vampire. He was yet again transformed into a soul reaver, and then passed on to become a soul devouring entity within a sword. His age is completely indeterminate. Appearance: Raziel has passed through many incarnations, but most recently he has been revived in his Vampiric body. He is a lean handsome individual with jet black hair, and cold turquoise eyes. He also possesses functional bat like wings, as well as Vampiric fangs. He also has only 3 fingers, on each hand, and two toes, each tipped with powerful claws capable of cleaving through solid rock. Abilities and Skills: Raziel, despite his renewed appearance, is a devourer of souls. He can fuel his hunger and his skills by absorbing the essence of any recently slain foe. He also possesses super human strength and speed, as well as a vicious and powerful wraith blade known as the Soul Reaver. He is a potent, if unskilled, telekinetic, and has a number of other unique supernatural abilities at his disposal. History: Raziel has never really known where he belonged. He knows that he was once a Seraphan Priest, who lead a self righteous crusade against vampires. And he was also once the greatest of vampire lieutenants to the god-emperor Kain. He remembers most of his travels as a wraith creature alternately serving and opposing a number of manipulative entities before resigning himself to become the ultimate weapon for his once master/malefactor. His last memories before awakening in this new world were of sacrificing himself to become the entity within the Soul Reaver. Now he finds himself reborn in a new world, and with a strange companion. Purpose / Goal: He desires, as Auron does, to discover the purpose behind their reincarnation. And also seeks to discover the fate of his ally Kain in his own world. Beyond that he seeks a purpose in itself, as he does not know what that should be. -Lorali Pearl-Haunt- (played by Faea)Origins: She was born and raised deep within the forest. She grew up making a life from town to town. There are few deep within the forests that don't know who she is.(though they don't know what) Appearance: In her human form she is medium height with gold/red hair that is neatly braided down her back. A scarf the color of the tree leaves hides most of it. Her eyes are gold and pearly white. Years of trianing have honed them to be sharp, and miss nothing. Pale skin is hidden under pants and a loose shirt of browns and greens. The colors excellently dyed to blend in with the background. In her dragon form she is no longer than an arm. Her teeth and nails are an unnusual pearly white. Her little serpent body is covered in red scales that glint with gold. so small and fine the scales they almost look like fur. delicate wings adorn her back that are not big but flap fast, like a humming birds, giving her that extra manouverability. her teeth and claws are a pearly white. Other forms to be announced. Abilities and Skills: She is skilled in most rangerly abilities. tracking, hunting, hiding, sneaking, pickpocketing....okay theiving skills too. She is not a fighter, depending more on abilites of magic. She is a skilled illusionist and ventrilloquist. there are few she cannot mimic perfectly without magic, for those few, she just uses magic. Her kind has natural healing magic, but it is not something she fostered over the years and thus remains a weak ability. On the other hand, compunication with animals and such are also a good skill. she often uses small harmless creatures for simple tasks, that will nto bring them harm, like spying. As for weapons, she just shapechanges into whatever form would best suit her needs and use those natural abilities. History: She was born in a small village deep in the forest. Her family are cousins to the royal line. They had high hopes she would join the ranks of her royal family as a gaurd or investigator. From an early age she showed signs of excellent abilites in dealing with nature. Even the very nature of people and understand. Like her parrents she was not a violent person. They trained her as a ranger, to understand the forest and all its natural inhabitants. "Balance," her father once told her, "is only kept by understanding all sides." Upon her coming of age quest, she returned home to her village successful in her task, only to find them under attack. It was far too late for her to be able to save anyone, recognizing this she hid before being found. She watched her home being destroyed, as she recalled the rumors that other villages had disappeared in similar fashion. She memorized the faces and uniforms of those who did this atrosity. When they left, they continued to scour the area, so she hid. And hid well. She now spends time watching people come and go. Her thirst for vengance is second only to her need to protect others from such a fate. She is intelligent and knows a way to stop all this and make things right will come along if she has patience. Purpose / Goal: see history. -Violet- (Played by lil_skyangel)Origins: Human race. Comes from... Appearance: Long black hair tied back, strands of blue hair falling over her grey eyes. Wears an ankle length white dress with a grey silk cloak clasped around her neck with a pearl clasp. Carries with her a small dagger. Abilities and Skills: Archery and a bit of hand-to-hand combat. but she is inexperienced and not very skilled. History: She was abandoned in the middle of a forest. There she was raised by a retired soldier who taught her only the basics in order for her to survive. Purpose / Goal: To find out who she really is. Other: She knows little of anything, that's about it... -Name: Matrias the III- (Played By "Zaber Blade") Origins: A Laguz from the Land of Tellius, from the Lion Tribe to be more specific(From Fire Emblem: Path of Radience) Appearance: Beast Form: He is young, still basically a cub. In his beast form, he is covered in brown fur, with a mane of long red hair, size wise he's about two feet long and two feet tall while standing, and about a foot wide. He wears a small necklace with a complicated pendant. Human Form: He is essentially about 9 years old in size. He wears a pair of baggy black pants and a brown leather vest. His hair is messy, long, and covers his eyes unless he adjusts it. Abilities and Skills: As a laguz, he is able to change back and forth between human and beast forms. In his human form he is useless in battle. As a beast, he is a bit more formidable, using speed and sharp claws and teeth to fight. Since he is young, he still lacks the power of older, stronger fighters. History: Matrias is one of the laguz, a beast tribe from the continent of Tellius. In Tellius, humans, or beorc, prejudice against the laguz. This causes Matrias to distrust most humans until he gets to know them. He is the great grandson of King Gahengis, the king of the beast tribe in the Fire Emblem Gamecube game. Spending a lot of his life in the palace, he is rather spoiled and unacustomed to the outside world. Purpose / Goal: As the laguz prince, he was sent by his father Matrias the II as an emissary to Matri. After arriving and seeing what was happening on matri, he went into hiding on the planet, trying to learn about the conspiracy rumors he heard that Lord (Sorry I forgot the Name) had thoughts of attacking Gallia. Other: Matrias is very eccentric, and being used to only being around other laguz and the occassional beorc, he is fascinated by the new beings he meets on Matri. He is very happy, easy going, and loud. He is, in all essence, just a kid. A kid who can shapeshift into a lion cub and kick some serious butt. . . . [...Pending...] . . .

NPC AND DEITY BIOS
Name: Sabel Fukaimori
Origins: Sabel says she is from Matri, and is an anthropomorpic striped hyena. Although no one on Matri can recall ever meeting another of her species. She rides a very large tri-color Gypsy Vanner horse, who seems at times to be more than just an ordinary mare, and travels with a young tanuki demon, with little to no grip on her own abilities.
Appearance: Sabel has a human body but her head and neck as well as lower legs are fully hyeanid including her short fluffy tail, she has hands tipped in stubby claws and she is completely covered in fur. She wears a metal chestplate painted dark royal purple with a pheonix blazing across the front. She also has a sleeveless violet cloak and purple hakama. A pair of metal rimmed glasses perches on her muzzle.
Abilities and Skills: Sabel carries a kodachi(mid sized Japanese blade, somewhere between a wakizashi and Katana in length), she also has a numer of magical herb packets with varying capabilities, unfortunately she can't ver seem to recall which one does what, and may accidentally blow up something vital or heal a foe.
History: Sabel is very dodgy when it comes to her past, and will usually try to change the subject to lighter subjects. Her young tanuki-demon companion Coon-chan is more open on the subject but knows nothing of 'Sabel-neechan' before the furry girl rescued the orphan Tanuki. She constantly will begin to tell tales of a place called Vaquiero, but Sabel always hushes the child before she tells very much. Usually one doesn't get any more information of the place except that it's where Sabel's Gypsy Vanner horse came from.
Purpose / Goal: Sabel doesn't seem to have a real reason to wander as aimlessly as she appears to. Mainly she just seems to suffer from wanderlust, like the majority of Matri's population. She occasionally jokes that her ultimate goal in life is to "...sick a pack of 'little-me's' upon the multiverse. . ."
Other: Sabel is very sensitive regarding her species, and constantly curses 'spottys' for ruining the family name, referring to spotted hyenas giving a bad name to the taxonimic family Hyaenidae. Even though Striped hyenas started the myths regarding a hyena's cowardice and are entirely scavengers. She will reply to such acusations with 'it's not cowardice it's just common sense, and there is nothing wrong with being an opportunist'
Name:Jianre Moriancomer A.K.A "The Wandering Goddess"
Origins: No one is quite sure which dimension, if any, Jianre originated from. Wherever she came from she is well known throughout the Multiverse. true to her nickname Jianre does just that, wanders, frequently she visits her freinds on Matri and lends her own advice and assistance whether it's welcome or not.
Appearance: Jianre can appear in many forms, either that of an exotically dressed teenager, a wise and ageless woman of obvious power, a Wolfish anthropomorph or even Mischeivious Fay Elf. No matter her appearance she ussually makes her identity known.
Abilities and Skills: Jianre is a goddess, and unlike some dieties she has jurisdiction and powers which are not limited to her home dimension, (wherever that might be) However because of her ablitilies and her penchant for wandering, Jianre has had a group of special mortals and even immortals placed under her care. Many dimension travelers are given to her to keep out of trouble since their own Dieties are far too busy to keep track of them in the multiverse, some of her minions include Erevek Knightmage and Ermak Lorde, and even a few versions of Angel. amongst others.
History: Jianre does not have much of a history unless it is with other Dieties, few of them do not know her personally and those who don't have heard of her. By accepting new mortals to keep an eye on she racks up favors with her fellows and is not one to use those lightly.
Purpose / Goal: If anyone were to figure out what Jianre's purpose was he or she would be the first. No one besides herself possesses that knowledge and she gaurds the secret well.
Other: Jianre has no problem chiding the other gods and goddessess, particularly the ones associated with Matri as they have a penchant for trouble, however she has just as much likelyhood to join the mischief as to halt it. and some even wonder if she hasn't claimed other dieties as her 'charges'.

Before This Story Began...
The Planet of Matri, despite it's numerous dangers and pittfalls was a relatively peacefull planet, Ruled as it is by a constitutional Monarchy, people are allowed to make laws but it is also ruled by 7 monarchs one for each species. Dragons, Unicorn, Gryphon, human, Kaijin, Lighting Bird, and Wolf. These ruling seven were both a council and royalty. and such an organization has pospered for hundreds of years. Recently however this balance has been disturbed. The long standing royal bloodline for the humans known as the "Knightmages" has been decimated, the current king and (almost) all of the heirs have fallen prey to mysterious 'accidents'. This also had the effect of eliminating the Unicorn royalty, as of a scant generation ago the two royal lines had joined and interbred. This loss lay heavily on the people of Matri, and the thrones wer temporarily placed within the hands of the now extinct rulers advisor, one Lord Frubrant. this same lord had an inexplicable prejudice against the Kaijins, and many of those with Kaijin blood were rounded up and shipped off planet, sentenced as guilty with the crime of the Murder of the Knightmage line. Those Kaijins who escaped this fate generally avoid blatant use of their powers, and try o blend in with the rest of the mottley populace. I the ten years that follwed Frubrant's rule, the Royalty and the Gryphonic populace slowly diminished, until all of the royalty was gone, and most of the rest fled to Sacri. Perhaps it was their gift of truth that caused them to become hunted, ...The populace is not sure, they can only speculate. After the destruction of the Gryphonic Royalty, the rest of the monarch species fled into hiding, bidding their time and their gifts. Thus leaving the entire rule, all of the power to one, regent monarch. Lord Frubrant. The people are just starting to fel the oppression, and the fear, Frubrant has soldiers loyal only to him, but he is such a kindly old man, most don't believe him capable of such attrocities as have been committed. This is how things currently stand, with those few who know the truth biding their time in the shadows, and those who don't becoming suspicious. Matri is not the peaceful land it once was, and the dangers of this world are felt all the more harshly in the brewing chaos.
The Story So Far...
A new face has shown itself on the Infamous planet of Matri, and a more experienced figure has followed. THE Mini-Dragon has just begun her mischief, is she truelly oblivious of Matri's current predicament? or does this small psycotic dragon actually have a purpose in dragging these strangers together? This is a question asked by not only the dragons vitims but the native Matritians who meet her prey. Illusor Meaneld, a powerful healer has recently come into contact with two of THE Mini-dragon's targets. The unwitting Torvelion, who calls himself "Lucien" and the fellow Matritian Leo. Elsewhere on the planet another powerful native has found herself thrust together with outsiders, Young Andrea has had the fortune, (or misfortune) to meet and join up with the warriors "Raziel" and "Auron" these warriors seem powerful, but what secrets are they hiding? and what motives might they have?

With lots of trees,
and lots of monsters,
But no PC's. crying sad "

Bearing swords and trudging through snow."

OOC: ninja So exactly what time frame are we using for this rp?...hmm this reminds me, i need to send you a few things which concern the chronology of matri. I'll e-mail those to you, oh and check out the Matri rp(there is a link on the bottom of Misopan's sig, and all of furry1337otaku's sig is a link there) i have going in the normal forums for links to a bunch of the things you might want on hand, including, pics of Misopan, Andrea and Firalina. I also have a rough drafted map of Matri...I really need to set up the new version of that....

Mahia M
What thinkest thou?It needs more purple *LOL* And this is Kim, i have four accounts around here, and i act in character with all the other ones even when in ooc which kinda scares me at times. This one is my Sabel one and since sabel is just me with fur, i can just be myself with this one, as opposed to being angsty/antisocial with Misopan_Kurai, uber-phobic with Tsuyoi_Kurai and doing whatever with tanyaknightmage. oh and here is an updated map of the planet of matri http://www.geocities.com/wildcat4413/matrimap2.jpgOh and if you click my sig, it'll take you to the rp i started elsewhere (and you'll notice that four out of the five people on it are me, and that is probably the best example of my schizophren....er ability to act i/c... sweatdrop yeah sure ninja you're all looking at me funny, aren't you arent you *runs away giggiling hysterically for no apparent reason, then pops back like nothing happened*)....I'M NOT CRAZY!!!!!

I also have a rough drafted map of Matri...I really need to set up the new version of that.... As for the time frame, I am planning on placing it in post-Frubrant's arrival. After the murder of the knightmages and the Royalty, but before Vek and Illusor became very well aquainted, so before most of our champaigning. Angel has requested to play as "Lord Frubrant" and his possessor. And I thought it would be more interesting if many of the characters were meeting for the first time. So this RP would take place Before the Chaosflow one. How does that sound? You can reintroduce Auron and or Alex, perhaps even Kari and Dyonisu if you like. Simply submit the Bios for the characters you want to play and I'll see what I can do. we'll say that Vek, Andrea and Drakian are already aquainted though.

A bush!" etc.etc. Okay so i'll use Drakian and Andrea from this account and eventually get around to introducing Dyonisu and Misopan in a bit....Torvelion is going to get along with drakian so well it's scary.... eek

Just copy/paste Seline's bio from ChaosFlow. I know that's earlier than we originally introduced her, but we could redo it. I don't know about whether I can figure out a good character concept for a new character on Matri . . .
or i could always do Enelia . . . *shrugs*

Okay, seeing as we have several PC's now, I will give you all a starting point and setting.
From wherever they might have come from, select personages, minding their own buisness, and wandering their own worlds were suddenly greeted by an alien flying lizard, or what some might recognise as a 'dragon' this 3 and a half foot long, creature was covered in irridescant purple scales. crazed, beady eyes locked breifly with a certain unfortunate being, and it's muzzle broke into a toothsome grin, bearing rows of needle-like fangs. Suddenly, both the creature and it's unfortunate victim disapeared, and the interloper now found His / herself standing in the middle of a deep forest. It was night, and it was raining softly. odd sounds emitted from the thick jungle-like underbrush. And drifting from the darkened skies, came a mischievious chuckle, followed by a whisper of insane plottings. Then all fell silent. The trees were immensly tall, stretching towards the heavens with their silvery purple tinged branches, the equally metalic leaves glittered in the fain light, and a smell, not unlike a strange mixture of chesnut and cinnemon, wafted through the damp air.
