Well, since forum activity seems to have gone down a bit, and the RP that seems to be running is RtC2. So here's something I've been working on for a while.

The lore can be found here.

If you wish to apply for a characters, here's the template.

Age:
Gender:
Faction(Morai or Spiral):
Class(Can be found in the lore):
Appearance:

Personality:
History:

You are allowed to get creative with the gear and powers a bit, but nothing too OP and make sure it makes sense and would belong in a storyline like this. Also, since this is my first RP where I am the GM, we'll have a stat system.

You have 35 points, each stat can go from 0-10.

The world does not break me; I break the world.

Name: Sistele Sintaris
Appearance
Age: 21
Gender: female
Faction: Morai League
Class: Death Bringer
Gear/Abilities:

Vesuvius: a Volcano Blade.
Flame Augment: Sistele possesses the ability to envelop herself in the fires of vengeance. If what she carries couldn't previously inflict fire status, it does now. It also has the beneficial side-effect of burning to a crisp anything that gets too close to her.
Isora's Purity: a fire-resistance Aegis unique to Sistele.

Stats:

Vitality: 10
Swordsmanship: 5
Sharpshooting: 0
Demolitions: 0
Magic: 5
Technology: 1
Agility: 5
Strength: 9

Personality & Bio: Sistele is a fiery young lady, brimming with feisty energy and a hot temper that shoves her into countless spats more often than not. If two words could describe her, it would be "inverted tsundere"; she starts off fighting and hating everyone, but as she gets to know them, she cools off a good deal and becomes friendlier. She's also rather arrogant and loud-mouthed, bragging about her powers to her enemies to intimidate them (and generously informing them about her abilities, thereby putting her foot in her mouth).

Orphaned by the Energy Wars and scarred by men who abused her, Sistele joined the fight more out of an intense desire for vengeance than for any conception of justice. While she isn't the brightest bulb in the bunch or the best swordsman in her unit, she is without a doubt one of the strongest. She has tussled with some of the strongest men in the war and won by sheer strength alone. Her physical might is rivaled only by her incredible vitality; even the worst famines, deadliest diseases, and gravest wounds seem not to faze her.

It's just as well; having to fend for herself on this forsaken planet against all the evils of the human spirit is a daunting challenge indeed, and only an act of God can allow one so young to live in it. And despite her failings and sufferings, she still firmly believes that there is a God out there watching over her and protecting her from the world.

It cannot break her fiery spirit. Give her a weapon and a reason, and she will break the world.

YES

Name: Thurian "Red-Eye" Nychta
Age: 31
Gender: Male
Faction: Spiral
Class: Warden
Appearance: SEE WARDEN
Gear/Abilities: Standard Warden attire, save for an extra, Spiral Standard Rifle.
Personality: Rather loud at times and loves to boast about his son, Daud. If fights he tends to run forwards but not before taking a shot with his ranged weapon first.

History: Having worked long and hard Thurian found himself inside the coveted halls of his father's working as a Warden for the Order. It was in his blood and he hoped one day his son would take up his mantle as a Warden as well. He spent most of his life just trying to get smart enough to use a sword, but he found his favorite weapon was the Ranged Rifle made to counter the enemy's snipers. He spent around ten years of his life honing his skills at the art of quick scoping and learning how to track down his targets by aiming above and head of them. The only downside he ever faced was when he became less able at a sword. Yet he was able to make up his bad attack with a deffence which sent off his attackers. It did not always work but then again he relied on taking someones head off above all else rather then trying to kill them right off with close range attacks.

When he reached the age of Twenty-two his first and last son was born Daud. The boy was born a runt and Thurian could hold the boy in the palm of his hand. Yet he cried like a baby the first moment he held his son swaring to protect him no matter what, for the boys mother died during child birth leaving him a single father to tent to his son. Now the boy is nine years old and some times tags along with his father, one could sware the body who was no bigger then the Warden's hand was never a runt for at this age he was already at Thurian's chest level. Thurian standing around a monster Seven Foot tall, has always had a soft spot for his son, and thus he almost beat a man to death for trying to harm Daud. Some say he is over protective, Thurian says he is just protecting his heart from danger.

Once the boy turned nine he entered the military school to become like his father, with that Thurian knew he would have a son who would carry on the family name, even if it was to another world all together.

Ok, that looks good, but do you mind giving me a little insight on Daud? I wanna know what he's like just a bit more.

Mon, 04/07/2014 - 16:26

Darkwatck

He will later be known as Daud "Deadman" Nychta. Second in command of a Mercanry group made by a man infected with Dark Matter. I kinda want to go from the fathers perspective and give people a insight to how different the father and son really are.

@Midnight-Dj

No. It's strongly suggested in the intro movie, so it could be argued that it's actually OOO's idea.

BUT

Prior to the addition of said movie, the only source of the civil war was in the Wiki (even then, only about the Morai). And the wiki itself is and was pretty unreliable...

Name: Barbossa Malinant

Age: 42

Gender: Male

Faction(Morai or Spiral): Morai Legion

Class(Can be found in the lore): Deathbringer

Appearance: https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTyGAJgadswJ0Dd0fvT...

Gear/Abilities:

Firestorm: A large Isoran Shotun that can transform into a sniper rifle and grenade launcher

Blade of Hephaestus: A large, perpetually burning blade that bears a resemblance to the Sudaruska

Reaper: A unique piece of gear that flips out from the top of Barbosssa's left armplate. It has two blades, and deals flame damage

Flame Wings: An ability that is pretty much what the title says it is, a large pair of flaming wings that Barbossa
Personality: Barbossa is probably the most utterly ruthless Morai you'll ever meet. Surprisingly enough, he is very calm, and not one to brag in certain situations, instead preferring to calculate and plan. Also, another unusual thing is that he is a jack of all trades in his Deathbringer Unit, good at most things but a master of none.

History: Barbossa was born to a gentle Isoran family, but was abandoned when a troop of Morai soldiers destroyed his parents. Normally, they would kill the child, but they saw great strength in him, so they took him. Their idea proved right: he exceled at many things, but did not master any. While some Morai were displeased, most saw him as a great sucess in the military.

After the initial training, the selected candidates were allowed to choose their class, and Barbossa chose Deathbringer. This required extra, extremely hard training, and Barbossa's fellow men teased, saying that he would never become a Deathbringer. After ten years of rigourous training, the candidates were put through a test: survive the harsh wastelands and scarred terrain of Isora, and be the first to come back. The first three peopel to come back would be given membership in the Deathbringer squads.

It was really more of a contest than a test, for the many candidates immediately tried to kill each other off, with vicious precision, after beign blindfolded and dropped in a random location. Instead, Barbossa, using the knowledge he had gathered, followed a path straight into the camp, only to find another was beating him. Barbossa attacked, and the two fought until Barbossa dropped the other man into the mouth of a beast.

And so Barbossa became a Deathbringer, and lived up to the title, leaving waves of blood in his wake.

Name: Chibi Haiiro
Age: 3
Gender: Male
Faction(Morai or Spiral):
Class: Vigilantes.
Appearance: http://www.seacats.net/teaparty/src/129967363811.jpg
Gear/Abilities
Puff Ball: A magical art that does nothing at all.
Cutie Power: Uncomprehending magic that not even the most elite magicians can cast. This is Haiiro's main ability.
???: An unknown power.
???: An unknown power.

Personality: Cute but fiendishly stubborn.

History:

Basically this guy is an amnesiac who used to be a fun-loving child until he was cruelly murdered by the Morai who were rampaging down the streets.
His father was distraught and angered until one day when by his door was a thread made out of energy which emitted cries of a lost child. If the childless widower (Yup) was to lace it into something, he might bring his son to life. But all he found was an ancient teddy bear. But it still worked!

But then there was a crash at the door, then out burst the same Morai soldier. There was no hope for the man and all he could do was throw the teddy bear out of the window in hope (He could not jump out of the window as it was very small) and suffer a bloody fate to the Morai.
.
His last words were, "The light of hope shines bright but not to me, so I say to you Farewell."

A Spiral Knight defeated the Morai soldiers after and found a teddy bear on the floor, crying. Now Haiiro fights not for victory but for a newfound life and
vengeance.

He's 3?! No man...children will not fight in wars. Unless they're scared, confused, and hellishly powerful. Just like Cortexephan kids from Fringe. Also, you can be a vigilante, just know that people in the RP will refer to you as an Aturin Knight or a Knight of Aturin. Revise.

Darkwatck

I feel a little out numbered, sure Thurian is a Warden, but outside of that he is only going to scare off lesser Morai soldiers.

Also, why don't you set a limit on Player Characters (I am just going to use PC's from here on out) Classes. Other wise everyone is going to run around as a Warden or the Morai Death Bringers/ Men of Death. What I mean is, say One Warden PC, One Death Bringers/ Men of Death PC, lower classes can be unlimited and same restriction for the forth class for both sides.

Gee Whiz Batman!

@Darkwatck Good idea...I'll go do that.

Well, that means we have only:

1 more Morai Deathbringer spot
2 more Warden spots
And a whoooooole bunch of other Spiral spots. I could use those.

Teddy bears...ok. This is a dark, war torn planet, and here we have 3 year old teddy bears running around zapping people with rainbow magic. Not only that, but that teddy bear is part of an elite sect of knights detected to winning the war. Are you kidding me? Make sure your character would fit into the RP atmosphere.

My Isoran Main

While I will act through many different characters throughout the story, this will be my main character for the Isoran side.

Name: Victoria Moireton

Age: 23

Class: Aturin Knight

Race: Isoran

Affiliation: Spiral Order

Appearance: Mighty Cobalt Helm(recolored white and grey instead of white and light blue) with a white plume. Azure Guardian Armor(recolored white and
grey) with a black scarf instead of a black and red one. A small grey cloak is draped around her right shoulder, with the Brand of Aturin embroidered onto it(a knight chess piece crossed with a flag and sword. Wings come out the sides.)
Gear: Ascended Honor Blade, Aegis, Double Barreled Valiance(a very powerful Isoran shotgun)
http://phototony.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/comicfate-sprouting-guy-...

Gear and Abilities:
Wields an Ascended Honor Blade, a Frostbitten Aegis(An Aegis colored light grey and neon blue with a white cloth and also has ice resistance) and a Doubled Barreled Valiance.

-Ice Bolt: Fires a shot of pure icy energy from her hands or weapons. Inflicts freeze.
-Gravity Reversal: Victoria can reverse the gravity around her in a fifty foot radius. It doesn't just go up and down, she can make gravity go left and right too, so if you were standing, you'd slide violently sideways. This can help her walk on surfaces that would be impossible to get on.

Personality: A very mature young lady. She always seems to have a cool head, and rightly so. She's called "The Ice Queen" by some of her colleagues(they would end up regretting that) due to her indifference to others. She's dismissed many suitors in her career, waving them off as "sentimental fools". However, when it comes to military tactics and warfare, she is one of the best in the Order, second to only Euclid and Ozlo. She's had a history laced with murder, deceit, and scandal, but in the end she came out triumphant, but a little more soulless. She is impressed by a man who can be her equal, and hates a man who surpasses her(she has a grudge against Euclid and Ozlo). If someone were to impress her, they might have a chance at the Ice Queen's heart.

History: Victoria Moireton was born into a wealthy, high family. However, they were wealthy and powerful for the wrong reasons. Her father was a dirty politician who got drunk often. Her father spent his money on prostitutes and booze, and he soon beat his wife to death when Victoria was only 14. The sight of her dead mother filled her with rage, and she killed her father. After being scared for a while, she tossed the corpse off the balcony into the spacious backyard in the dead of night. It looked very much like a suicide(sorry no forensics), and she killed her first man that night. When she was 18, she enlisted in the army as the only escape from a life of lady-like politeness she hated, and rose quickly through the ranks. When the Energy Wars started, she was already a general and engaged the enemy with vigor.

Callis-The-Wicked

Dual Characters

Name: Xindao Spade
Age: Appears 16, much older.
Gender: Male
Faction(Morai or Spiral): Neither, captured by Spiral Order.
Class(Can be found in the lore): (Will not participate as such)
Appearance: (will draw later)
Gear/Abilities: 6* Gavel-Staff. Takes two-three posts to activate the attack. Can use long-distance telepathy.(Will be used to control character below)
Personality: Dual personalities of malevolence and benevolence. His mind is dominated by those two opposing forces, and he acts upon them.
History: He has been in the deepest of dungeons for a long time. The King and Queen condemned him to as such. He has a habit of switching between his messy personality at no one's particular discretion. He guides everything delicately behind a veil of darkness that runs to the deepest chamber of secrets.

Name: Daoxin
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Faction(Morai or Spiral): Neither, a Vagabond
Class(Can be found in the lore): Vigilante (Unauthorized)
Appearance: Attempted drawing
Gear/Abilities: Twin Sais, which have a vanish/appear affinity so that they cannot be disarmed. Their attack corresponds to the weapons around them. Symbolic paper seals are wrapped around their handle, which, when removed, can fly and cause a status attack of Sleep. These seals are limited to twenty per Sai. They do not have a very good accuracy.

Daoxin has the ability to cause a status effect, Sleep. He may only cast this when the person being assaulted is also in contact with Daoxin's hands or feet. Psychological training has been put into creating this ability. It cannot be cast over any distance that is not immediate touch.

He also has a way of getting around. Not too far, but very able to cover ground.
Personality: Daoxin is calm, and collected. He has a sense of investigative authority, always favoring to look further. He is very charming, and if he gets to a goal in an investigation, he may turn a little....happy.
History: He has been up and down the countryside as a runaway Vagabond. A Curse lingers over his head, keeping him alive over the years. Only the blade of another of the Isoran race can kill him, or the sheer intent and action. He dislikes the idea of someone going to prison after killing him, and fighting with his race in general threatens to destroy him. He keeps as calm as he can, the potential to be angry. His only long-distance communication comes from a stranger he doesn't even know. In the past, it has guided him. It continues to do so.

Wait, There aren't Mercenaries? Why not? A mercenary will still be working under either Morai or Spiral Order, So why not?

+Ability:Pain Resistance Due to an accident in his early military career, flames that burned deep within his body numbed many nerve ending indefinately. As a result, many minor cuts and/or wounds dont cause him to flinch or pause.
+Trait:Liable Due to Lord Bastion's harsh and unforgiving nature to both sides, he can be unpredicatble in battle, and is extremely unlikely to gain assistance from Morai troops despite his allegiance with them.

Personality: Very mysterious and forboding appearance that wavers the morality of both friend and foe. Not much of a talker, though is very wise & profound when he does speak. Is merciless, showing no emotion in the midst of battle. Will cut down his own troops if he sees them showing mercy to Isorans. For this reason, he's feared on both sides, yet wanted by the morai none-the-less for his military prowess as a bladesman. Likes the occasional glass of wine now and then.

History: The past of Lord Bastion is clouded. The earliest record of his battling expeditions was only recorded after the civil war had broken out, during a skirmish during the great purge, as Morai troops were attempting to burn down a chapel containing some great artworks. At this point, he was noted to have been eager and ready to face Isoran troops as a normal trooper. During the expected counter by Isorans, a small number of Morai were caught in the raging fires that consumed the chapel. After the blaze had died down, scouts scanned the area for any survivors, an isoran body was moving and revealled a badly burned & wounded Morai underneath having used the corpse as a partial shield. The trooper was healed up, and apart from alot of numbed nerves through-out his body, he had recovered to fighting fitness.

The trooper grew distant from other troopers from that point on, seeing himself as different and scarred. Others shunned him for his burned appearance, and he could not enjoy the sensations of theirs such as the feeling of a breeze at his fingertips, or the warmth of a huddled body. It was almost as if he was a dead man walking, so he embraced his decision from then on in battle.

Bastion battled like a monster, brushing off light wounds and closing down upon scouts and recon during searches for forward Isoran parties. After a while of enduring battles and finding victory one way or another, he rose up the ranks to gain the position of Executioner, commanders seeing it fit to place a man with little fear or distraction to lead men into the stray. When offered the standard set of armour, he made a single request to his superiors, with his undying loyalty to the Morai legion in return. To create a suit of armour that would hide his burned complexion from the rest of the world. And a Blade to reflect his anger toward all that he had found void from his life since the day of the blaze. With both requests fulfilled, and his soul belonging to the Morai Command, Lord Bastion marched onward. However his grip on emotion in general began to slip after all the time he was void from it.

This took noticeable effect during a losing battle during the liberation, a fleeting squad of Morai were starting to fall back. As the Isoran's pursued, they took some captive. As Bastion's blade came into play and freed the Morai from oppression, only an emotionless gaze fell upon the captured Morai. With blade in hand, he continued to execute the morai one by one, seeing them unfit to be called warriors by accepting mercy from the enemy. Upon report of the after-battle he made out that both Isoran & "Morai Cowards" had perished. Though uncertain of the true events, morai command allowed Bastion to keep battling. Even after discovering his non-leniant views toward emotion and mercy on the field, they took it as an acceptable risk for his military prowess with his personal blade and skill.
