Ryfittania

It came swiftly and without any warning.
I awoke to the sounds of crying and instantly I was consumed with dread. Everyone was crying. Everyone was praying. “Please, let it not touch us. Please let it not touch them.”
But it had not grace or mercy. It infiltrated everyone of them.
They all died within four days.
I had a cough during the four days, but I did not know until my tears had run out and dried.

After a month some were still mourning. The world was still silently weeping but the sun still rose and set each day. The High Clerics held a counsel the other day, stating they had determined the cause of the deaths. A horrible disease which attacked the heart and brain.
“Why, why did it only affect the children?” A cry had rung out, but the clerics only shook their heads. They did not know but they told us that the other villages and cities had been plagued by the exact same disease. They were trying to find out how it came to be but they told everyone to pray often and move on with their lives. For the sake of the ones they lost, please move on.

I tried for two years to move on. I had not lost anyone but I was angry. No answers. No blame had been announced. Secretly the High Clerics continued to search and hired many others to search but they could not find answers. They were too busy healing, too busy trying to help the city, too incompetent to succeed.
There have been rumors amongst the streets that another plague is coming- and this one will take more than the babies now born. I want to find out. I want answers for it is clear to me this is no natural cause. The plague two years ago was created and I want to find the answers.

Then maybe the Clerics will realize there is more out there beyond their power. Maybe then the Cities will realize that differences in the world are not bad things. Then maybe the world can shake off its ignorance.
Because I have bigger plans than just solving a mystery.



Ryffitania.
A world far more expansive than those on the eastern half realize. Large cities dominate the Eastern half, but due to the Government run by the cities – travel is limited. You have to obtain a permit, which usually takes a year to obtain. Many of the people are content with their closed in lives, but there are a few that wish to explore the entire other half of the world that they read about in books. The other parts of the world are like little fairy tales… so much that one cannot help but wonder: What is really out there?

You are a resident of the city Tinnitlar. Your story is your own to decided, but one thing is certain: there is a need or rather an itch to get out of the city. Then one day, you stumble upon a note that strikes a chord with you.

If you want to leave this city, meet me at the city square at midnight.

Having no idea who this is leads you wondering how safe following those directions would be. Yet… this could be a chance of a lifetime.


NOTES ABOUT THE RPG
• This is a Mature RPG
• Everyone starts off being pretty normal. You have no magic unless you are a cleric from the temple, in which you have basic healing powers. Not everyone has to use magic. You can be really good at fighting like a warrior or stealthy like a ninja if you so desire. ^_^ People who desire magic will gain it later on.
• This RPG has D&D aspects.
• Everyone younger than 16 has died of the plague two years ago.
• I reserve the right to deny sign-ups, but I probably won’t. ^_^

Name:
Age: (approx.)
Gender:
Species: <Majority of everyone should be humans. But come up with a unique story how your species came to live in the city. Nothing too outrageous.>
Appearance: <wee>
Personality: <just a gist.>
Profession: <What do you do to get money?>
Powers/Magic: <This is what you want. You might not get exactly what you ask for. I ask some people don’t ask for magical powers… we need some people who are great at stealth, stealing, warrior-fighting etc… Again, think D&D. Not all magic is the same.

Relations: <If any.>

Name: Mei “Renegade” Oswen
Age: Looks to be about mid to early twenties.
Gender: Female
Species: Hengeyokai <Hengeyokai are solitary creatures that usually associate themselves with nature. They have the ability to shift between looking human, to half human/animal and to a fully animal form. They’re quite rare because they tend to be nomadic. Mei’s animal form is a wolf.>
Appearance: Mei stands about 5’7 with a graceful slim build. He skin is an exotic tan color setting a stark contrast again her raven-black hair. Overall her hair is slightly wavy and reaches midway down her shoulder blades. Her eyes bring in the mixture of gold and black through her eyes, which are very wolf-like in appearance with an amber gold color shifting within her iris. Adorned upon her body is a light weight but elaborate silken top that cuts halfway around her chest, branching off to have small strings of fabric wrap about her shoulders to hold it up. The silken shirt she wears is a royal blue intertwined with a few golden-appearing threads that make it shine and glint. Upon her lower her half she wears two semi-transparent sheets of black and gold, with a final layer beneath the two transparent sheets of solid deep blue- all three forming into a short and easy-moving skirt. Beneath the skirt she wears a lower bikini-like top of black so not to embarrass herself with swift movements.
She wears sand-colored wooden sandals that tie up a good half a foot above her ankles with golden ribbon-like thread. Upon both ears she wears golden hoop earings and around her neck is a small piece of leather string wrapped about a circular piece of black stone. She also always has a staff tied on her back loosely. The staff has a simple piece of red ribbon attached to the top with a white feather.
Personality: Mei tends to be calm but has her moments of outbursts. She tries to think things through but sometimes emotional or spiritual feelings cause her to act quicker than she perhaps should. She doesn’t outwardly seem affectionate or caring, but if one probed her emotions enough they could see a few remnants of care within her- she just doesn’t like to openly show it too often. <bleh, weak personality I know but you’ll see more of it. >
Profession: Mei calls herself a Spirit Shaman, but most people view this as crazy. So instead she often goes to a few taverns or busy places and offers to read palms. She’s also been known to perform exorcisms, which is slightly frowned down upon by the High Clerics. She escapes their eye however.
Powers/Magic: Mei seems to have a sixth sense for sensing unearthly things- spirits, if you will. However, she doesn’t have any real power with them. <Yet.> Later on she’ll be granted the power of the spirits- contacting them, performing slightly druidic magic with an emphasis on the soul and spirit.
Relations: None so far. You’ve probably seen her once or twice though.
Other: BLECK



that's right! I'm back! XD
