Keepers of the Magic: From the Ashes

[Karu Hitoshi]

Here are the rules for all to follow.

Rule #1: I alone will, as my good friend would say it irl god-mod, and will appoint others to help push the plotline along when the roleplay becomes larger.

Rule #2: Okay...detail, detail, detail. Remember to be very detailed with your post, but keep in mind that too much detail will kill it. Be moderate.

Rule #3: PG-13 people. Indeed romance is the seed in which new life buds, but lets keep how the process works to ourselves. Of course those who know what i'm talking about will do so, and if you don't...go ask your mother.

Rule #4: You can't kill another player without first...they're say so...and second, my okay. I may need them for the plot or something.

Rule #5: Stay proactive. I know I haven't been around for awhile, but thats the problem with being in the military. Even if I have to go away for a little while to fight Uncle Sam's wars...it doesn't mean everyone has to stop. Break off into some sub-plots if the main event is on hault.

Rule #6: Post all profiles to me. Note that above I said that all profile bio's should be brief...well don't make it so brief that I have no idea of who you are...just give a little something for us to jog on.

Rule #7: No one is going to bring you into the roleplay, you have to pick some conventional way to do so...we're all adults here, or at least I like to think we are. We need no one to hold our hands so stop whining and get in the game slugger.

Rule #8: There will be times when you (the roleplayer) may have issues in life, and have to stay off the roleplay for awhile. Do not be angry if we, A: take control of the character, or B: Kill em off. This is all forewarned.

CHARACTER LIST

(please pm LadyMnemosyne your characters to be added to the list)

Name: Karu Hitoshi
Age: 18
Race: Trans-beastile
Magic: Light
Weapons: A katana called "Wolf's Bane."
Personality: Cold, yet Kind
Brief Bio: The product of a very horrible past, Karu came up from the bowels of society, and quickly made a name for himself at the young age of 15 for being top assassin throughout the land. He later founded the group known as the Silver Fang, unknowingly. To this day Karu struggles to earn a living in the small town of Yaroh...the place where legends are born...and the place where they die.
Appearance: Pic in main forum

Name: Wilhelmina Vigoth
Age: 28
Race: human
Magic: lightning
Weapons: Wilhelmina uses two main weapons. Her first is a repeating crossbow that she has modified to be able to shoot a projectile up to 500 feet, conditions permitting. She will either use plain or poison-tipped projectiles. Her second is a war hammer with a large head and a spike on each end of the head. The handle of the war hammer can change lengths when she needs it to, and Wilhelmina often uses it as a walking stick.
Personality: vigilant, insightful
Brief Bio: Wilhelmina was practically raised on the battlefield. Both her mother and father were trained warriors, so it was no doubt that they would raise their child to fight. Ever since she could wield a weapon, Wilhemina has been fighting and has become a warrior worthy of her family's name. Gaining the reputation of having defeated 200 foes single handedly throughout the course of her adventures, her very name has begun to strike fear in her opponents. Despite all of this, Wilhelmina is not perfect; she has a disease very similar to tuberculosis and has her limits on how long she can exert her energy. It was expected that she would die at age 10; it has been 18 years since then.

Name: Lilium Braegyn
Age: 98 (equivalent to a human of 29)
Race: elven
Magic: Earth
Weapons: Lilium uses twin scythe blades as her main weapon; they are attached by enchanted chain to her specially made gauntlets, that allow the chain to grow in length, increasing her fighting range up to fifty feet. The blades themselves are very strong and durable, having been passed down through her family for generations. The right blade, Castor, is silver etched with blue markings along its side. The Left, Pollux, is gold with similar red etchings. Her hidden weapon is basically attributed to a black hole located where her mouth should be, with which she sucks in the souls of her victims to temporarily gain extra strength.
Personality: hollow; indomitable
Brief Bio: Lilium was the first female to be born into her family that showed any promise of becoming a great fighter. With a history running back hundreds of years of mercenaries and assassins, she had a lot to live up to. When she was only three, she broke into the sacred vault of the family shrine and became possessed by an ancient sealed demon. She was quickly taught to control the demon's power by her teacher, an aged man who originally sealed it away. Her master sent her off into the world after 80 years of training, when he believed she was completely ready, after which she soon met Wilhelmina.
Appearance:to be added...

Name: Regan Lancaster
Age: 36
Race: Human
Ability: N/A
Weapons: An over sized wolf/dog mutt named Hector that, for some reason, is fiercely loyal to the chilly doctor. Regan also has a variety of self-fashioned medical instruments, many bladed, though he would be loathe to use them for any reason other than research or treatment of a patient.
Personality: Intelligent and logical.
Brief Bio: Regan's extended past is a bit of a mystery, mostly because he rarely finds reason to talk about it. He abstains from magic and religion utterly, going so far as to publicly discuss his hatred of both practices. Instead of waving his hands or praying to some impartial "god," he spends his days learning about the human [or inhuman, he isn't particularly picky] body. Some see him as a miracle worker, as he employs both logical and biting intelligence in his everyday practice to cure diseases and mend wounds through means that most would consider impossible. However, he has also been pictured as a villain, not only an arrogant jerk but also a murderer. Speculations about deaths that occur near him have been heaped with wild rumors, though he maintains that he is an impartial man of science, and he is only associated with death because he works so closely with it.

Name: Rian
Age: 216(looks around 16)
Race: demon
Ability: shape shifter
Weapons: Wooden staff, looks like an ordinary long limb of a tree but it is thought to have came from a very tree in Aticlon that the black lotus fell from. It holds hidden powers even to the user.
Personality: Blunt and rude, but incredibly clingy; in need of interaction.
Brief Bio: Rian knows a few tricks such as voice manipulation and such. She learned the skill from her father, whom ate her mother after she was born. Geesh thats family values.

Name: Chizome Dakatsu
Age: 19
Race: Transbeastile/Serpent
Ability: Blood-based magicks and typical Transbeastile transformation. Due to her mixed heritage and years of experimentation, Chizome has several strains of extremely unusual magic. Some she uses on an almost daily basis, some she has used only once, and a few she has yet to tap.
Weapons: Chizome utilizes the whip for most of her needs, though she uses a dagger and talwar for close combat; if these are not an option, she is very good at using her own body as a weapon. Her great khopesh is reserved for tribal wars only.
Personality: Naive, Unpredictable
Brief Bio: Chizome grew up in a tribe of Beastiles called Nagas that made their home in the subterraneas near a lake not far from Jaraoh. She and her twin brother, Karasuhebi, were the product of a lab-experimented Serpent Beastile and a human, and were further experimented on as children.

When Chizome was fifteen, her clan was the target of a genocide, led by a clan of Beastile Eagles, called the Garudas. The war between the two clans came to an abrupt and bloody halt, and Chizome was supposedly the sole survivor. Chizome became a mercenary in order to become stronger and have her revenge someday. Her occupation crosses over into assassin at times, as she kills both for the government and for private clients.

Age: 20
Gender: Female
Race: Half High Elf and Half Dark Elf
Occupation: Priestess of Gia
KoM: Holy
Magic: N/A
Weapon: Long Silver Staff with house’s seal on the tips but otherwise void of decorations.
Background: Apart from showing magic abilities at a young age and being accepted as a Priestess of Gia, Atameh has lived a short life span. She was often teased by other elves for her natural wisdom and keen eye at such a young age. Many say she has an old soul but others say she is unnatural and most just avoid her because of her mixed heritage.
She was orphaned at her birth as her only living relative, her mother, died giving birth to her. Many have tried to take claims on her estate and all have either been discovered as fakes or turned away with the door in their face. She lives her life a shadow of what she thinks it could have been and is often seen at the tomb of her family, paying respects to her dead parents. Otherwise she is seen wandering to and from the temple-
She mostly keeps to herself but if she were to stumble into a situation in which there was wrong being done, she would find herself quickly in the middle of the fray.
Appearance: Atameh

Name: Shikigami Ren
Age: 20 yrs.
Race: Demon

Weapons: He has a chakaram that's really his halo, and will take any
piece of metal and alter it to a projectile type weapon if he can't use his chakaram.
Personality: Timid, Curious
Brief Bio: Ren is a run away demon from his clan of like demons who are professional killers and flesh eaters. He rejects all flesh and ways of his kind other than fighting and metal altering skills. He soon left his clan and stole the treasure of his clan, the Charm of concealing, and escaped to the human plane, where he was most interested in learning. With the charm he is able to hide his demonic aura and features to walk around human freely minus his clothing and weapon being unchanged.

Name: Silver Accolon
Age: 22
Race: Human
Magic: Water
Weapons: Silver carries no weapons with him, preferring the theory that those who go looking for trouble will find it, and those who don't will avoid it. Besides, who needs weapons when you have magic?
Personality: Tranquil, analytic.
Brief Bio: Silver is and has been blind for most of his life. He was blinded when his home caught fire and the roof fell in on him. He managed to get out, but to this day has extreme claustrophobia as well as a fear of fire. Because of his blindness, Silver always walks with a long, staff like cane to help him over rough ground. He also always wears a cloth of some sort tied across his eyes to hide the scarring.

Name: Daniyebb Amabile
Age: 10
Race: angel
Ability: clairvoyant
Weapons: Daniyebb uses a sword that is as long as she is tall. It was forged for her by dwarves from a special metal that has the ability to change shape at her will. In it's standard state, the blade shares similar characteristics of a large claymore though she can wield the typically two handed sword with only one with apparent ease.
Personality: timid, astute
Brief Bio: Originally, Daniyebb's mission was to act as an advisor to a governor of one of the many elven provinces. However, when she reached the province, she found that it had been attacked by General Ticus and his army and the elven ruler was dead. Daniyebb was taken prisoner, and has been kept at Emperor M's palace ever since, forced to use her powers to help aid General Ticus in the war.
Appearance: Daniyebb


Gaia name: Gear-Richie
Name: Richard Wright
Nickname: Gear
Age: 21.
Gender:Male
Race: Human
Occupation: Weapon smith/Inventor
KoM: No.
Magic: None.
Weapons, and gear: Primary weapon is an unnamed sword. He's also good with a bow-and-arrow set, staff, and bola. Spent some time with unarmed combat training as well. Richard is well known for all the odd objects he keeps on his person, not all for combat.
Acid Pellets: Pellets that contain acid capable of (albeit slowly) chewing through stone.
Belt: Contains pouches to keep equipment. What doesn't fit there goes in his backpack.
Crete: Quick-setting substance that traps its targets in stone.
Grapple Gun: Spring-loaded for firing, the grapple gun can hook around objects, or cut into them and brace, using the diamond-tipped blade at the end of the firing line and the one-way unfolding flaps just beneath.
Lock pick: Used for picking locks. The odd design prevents them from being used by anyone other than him. It also comes equipped with a few small bottles of oil for those loud, rusty hinges.
Parachute: For softening those otherwise painful landings.
Periscope: Angular piece of metal, couple mirrors, a couple lenses, and viola! A periscope that can also zoom like a telescope.
Smoke Bombs: Using combinations of certain chemicals, these bombs release a thick smoke, great for covering up escapes or making combat situations more difficult.
Background: Where magic has eluded him his whole life, Richard makes up for it with an inventive imagination and resourceful skill. He opened up his weapons shop at an early age, but quickly earned the nickname "Gear" due to the oddities (though they rarely sold) he had up for sale in his shop. Aside from the typical swords, shields, lances, and other weapons, Gear always took pride in grappling hooks, glass cutters, lockpicks, and other odd devices. He wasn't a thief, nor had he ever stole anything in his life, but always loved the idea of infiltrating an enemy base or something to that effect. And so went the daydreams of the under-stimulated 21 year old. Personality-wise, he tends to be a little bit too serious, always taking responsibility when things go wrong, always trying to fix them, and always scolding people who make light of serious situations. Early in his youth, in an accident with an early prototype of the acid pellets, Richard scarred his eyes, and as a result wears a special visor that increases his night vision range slightly.
Appearance: (In character forum)

Name: Engel "Kurt" Niemann
Age: 33
Race: half-angel, half-human
Ability: healing, flight
Weapons: Heckler, for self-defence
Personality: sweet, soft-spoken.
Brief Bio: Engel hates his first name, so he goes by "Kurt." Thanks to his half-breed statu, he has hollow bones and is a hemophiliac, but tries to keep it a secret, since he wants to be seen as anything other than weak. He loves life in all its forms, especially insects and arachnids, and he'll get extremely upset if you kill a bug in his presence. Romantically, he's very tangled up, since he's indecisive when it comes to preference (he refers to his orientation as "stray.") Part of this might be because he's lost someone very dear.

A professional bibliophile, Marcus has raised a library to feed his obsession, and also to gain a trust with the locals, while still trying to contain his unique ability and his heritage. His father?

He has been successful with hiding his beastile form, taking the form of a wary Weasel at night, With a strange, colorful coat of fur and a sharp set of teeth and claws.
