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.
~ Ren

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. ^_^


I will be playing the person whose view you read. She’s the one whose sent all of you a message.


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. Elemental magic, necromancy, divine magic etc… As the RPG starts, I’ll PM you regarding to your powers. ^_^ >
Relations: <If any.>
Other: <If you want to include a brief history, go ahead. But character histories won’t play a major role of importance.>



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

[Mystic_clown]

I would like to reserve a spot please ^_^ I'll get my sign up ready as soon as I can.

[Bulbasaur4]

I answered your PM and you are official reserved. ^_^

[Heald]

Name: Wake Ulrenhart
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Species: Human/Mutant (explained in history)
Appearance: When he stands straight, he is about 6 feet tall, but he usually walks with a slouch or a hunch. He is slender but has a muscular tone to his body. His head is bald but for a black pony-tail at the back of his head. He normally wears dark clothes and almost always wears a black cloak with a long, draping hood, normally covering the left-hand side of his face. He has a large, throbbing nose and dark green eyes. He has scars across his face, arms and body and burn marks on his face and arms. His left eye and the area around it are greatly swollen, not due to a wound but his mutation - his left eye is over twice as big as his right, hence why he normally covers his left eye.
Personality: A bitter, dark shell of a being. He has long since abandoned any emotions or desires and has cut off any links he has with other people. He speaks with a condescending tone and shows nothing but disdain to other people. This isn't to say he is anti-social or a loner, as he is willing to work with others when the occasion demands it, however, past experiences have taught him to throw away trust and love. He was originally a caring, gentle man who had even fallen in love, but his soul and being has been tarnished.
Profession: A professional thief and career criminal. Most of his work either involves him stealing certain articles or threatening clients and taking bribes or 'protection money'. When he isn't on the job, he is a petty thief, stealing change here or there.
Powers/Magic: His left eye is incredibly advanced and useful. He has the ability to see in any lighting condition with it and is able to detect the tiniest movement. It is also sensitive to certain invisible effects such as heat or magic - while it won't directly see magic or heat, it can sense it, especially when it is concentrated e.g. a fire or a spell.
Relations: He comes from the House of Ulrenhart, a once infamous and rich family that has fallen from grace and every member is despised by the general public. He is only aware of an uncle he has in the city who raised him, but all the family members have a tattoo on the upper left arm.
Other: The House Of Ulrenhart was a powerful aristocracy for over a millennium. As well as having much influence in all the major cities, they owned a huge mansion in the countryside. The Ulrenharts governed themselves by strict laws, including to only marry within the house. As such, when there were times of few suitable partners, the family became incestuous and the descendants became inbred.

This, twinned with the family's origins - that the man who founded the House, Malthus Ulrenhart, was a powerful magical being not believed to be human but had simply taken on the shape of one to marry his wife - led to many of the descendants developing grotesque mutations. This is why Wake has a super-sensitive, if grotesquely swollen, eye.

The Ulrenharts were also infamous for their experiments that they performed on the severly malformed children and innocent civilians whom they had abducted. Eventually, a lynch mob formed and had enough force to assault the Ulrenhart family home. Despite being armed and possessing potent magical ability, the Ulrenharts were overwhelmed and those that did not perish scattered into the night, with only the light of their mansion on fire to light their way. Wake himself has no idea what happened to his parents or the rest of his family; he was apparently abandoned as a child due to his defect and raised by his inbred, hunchbacked uncle. He has frequently been chased and attacked by lynch mobs, hence his scars.

[Shizo]

Dee and Dee? Hooray! 'Tis evil, what with the cheetos and sugary drinks.

Name: Raynel Sunn
Age: 23
Gender: M
Species: Human (whee)
Appearance: Here! He's thin, pale, and basically looks like the kind of guy who got shoved in lockers by the guys who were shoved in lockers. That's metaphorical, since I figure they don't shove kids in lockers in this world. They probably use chests and crates. With his rather ragged brown hair and dull grey eyes with bags underneath, not to mention the slight whimper that arises in everything he says, he's a wimp. Classic hero.
Personality: He's rather timid, self-depricating, and easily cowed by those he deems higher than him (which is most people) except on issues he's passionate about such as help those that he can aid which amounts, at the moment, to people with splinters and bad sunburns.
Profession: Cleric (newb)
Powers/Magic: He's a cleric, but he's always felt drawn to the necromatic and shadowy arts, not to mention the idea of shapeshifting due to reoccuring dreams of being a wolf in the woods. That's a lot more appealing than the reality of who he is.
Relations: Casual friends with Zani ever since an incident involving boots. Open, otherwise.
Other: He was rather sickly as a child, leading to his rather deathly palor. In fact, his family was rather surprised that he didn't die from the plague, even those he was over twenty. He was pushed into being a cleric by his family, mostly so he could support himself and provide his own medical care (his family isn't precisely rich, and he's a rather bankcrupting child). Also, he likes rats. There's one he's kinda claimed as a pet that's either really, really old or brain damaged. Or both (It walks into walls. Repeatedly).

[Samchu]

I'd like to reserve spots for me and Crystal Tears. We'll have our signups soon. Hopefully.

Danke much!

[Bulbasaur4]

Yayness! ^_^ All of the reserves are reserved and those who have signed up thus far are approved.

[Mystic_clown]

Name: Boneca
Age: looks in his twenties, but is really ten years old.
Gender: Male
Species: LebendePuppe < LebendePuppes are, in essance, living dolls. They can be made from a variety of substances, from stone, to metal, to flesh, to a combination. They are animated with magic thought judging by how they’re made, the LebendePuppe itself could have no magic powers. They’re viewed as abominations by the clergy.>
Appearance: Boneca stands at about 5’4 with a really thin build. His face is pale, yet youthful, handsome and flawless. He has wild, tangled read hair which reaches down to his chin.. His eyes are his most noticeable feature. They’re black with yellow corneas. While he looks human, underneath his clothes you can see the joint holding his limbs to his body. His right arm from the elbow is also wooden, yet he keeps this hidden under a gloves and his clothes.

As for clothes, Boneca’s clothes a couple of sizes too be for him. He wears a large gray coat, a red scarf (even though it’s not cold), a red undershirt, black baggy pants held up by a large brown belt with a copper buckle. He a gray glove on his right hand and a pair of brown shoes. A number of tools can be seen in the pockets of his coat.
Personality: Normally a happy go-lucky kind of person. He’s friendly and easy to get along with, though has some disdain for the clergy, especially after what they did to his “father”. He has a love for tinkering with mechanics and will usually be the first to volunteer for such tasks. He has a soft spot for children, and as a result, feels a deep sadness for what happened to them.
Profession: He’s a toy maker. Being in essence, a toy himself, he’s skilled at putting them together and fixing broken ones for the children.
Powers/Magic: I may edit this later. If not, I’ll leave it up to Bulbi.
Relations: none
Other: Created ten years ago with a combination of magics and materials, Boneca’s creator was hunted down and burned for dabbling in the forbidden arts used to create him. Boneca managed to escape and was never discovered by the clergy. Since that day, he’s been hiding what he truly is under his bulky clothes. Because of his appreciation for mechanical things and his love for tinkering, he became a toy maker for the children of the city.

[Blademaster]

I'm curious enough to join, but I don't trust how non-restricting this seems to be...

Tell you what: I'm curious enough to sign up... Tell me how to get this stupid quick reply box to stop being so small, and I'll toss a sign-up in. This may be fun... Heheheheheh.

[classy_cat18]

Firefox doesn't seem to have the Quick Reply box problem.

Shoot! Three D&D books and I don't remember anything in them! Reserve me a spot and I'll get to writing my signup!

*huggles Kalah and gives her a cookie before running out*

[Blademaster]

I don't have Firefox.

[Haruko]

Name: Goes by "Gio", dropped his surname a while back.(Was Gio Ackart)
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Species: Human; although some comment he eats too much to be one.. Silly Gio..
Appearance: Around 5'8" with dark brown hair that tends to get him called a girl(Hair like this, image credit to Random Curiosity.) and emerald eyes that are as calm as Gio himself. His body is a good bit built from doing security for his sister's tavern; all which hides his appetite(some say it's proportional to 3 towns worth of humans, but thats pushing it..) Wears a skin tight short-sleeved black shirt(it is of a fabric, but it's just skin tight on him) that gets him in trouble with the clergy - "You're showing off too much!", but it allows for easier movement when he fights off thieves; since his fighting style is very laid back. His pants are a bit less tight and are black with pieces of crimson red fabric sown in by his sister to "improve style!".

When he travels he tends to wear a draped cloak over him thats of a pitch black.
Personality: Lax and a bit nonchalant, Gio tends to go about things with ease and take the shortest route possible to solve matters; even if it involves hurting himself. He tends not to show his emotions on his face; yet by his actions. You can also tell what mood he is in by how much he eats; some say..
Profession: Helps run a tavern with his sister, and also takes on various security jobs for people in town.
Powers/Magic: Is more towards a fighter-class, having no skill at magic. This is made up by his skill in fighting; he's very agile despite his looks.*
Relations:His NPC sister, Mirae, who he'll be leaving behind and he knows Minoru from the tavern; having fought (side-by-side) with him.
Other: Lost his parents as a teenager due to a house fire, he's been dependent on his older sister ever since. Perhaps this is why he wants to leave the city; so then she doesn't have to worry about him anymore(or so he thinks, of course.) Also seems to have a deep voice; which tends to dispel the rumor that he's a she once he talks.
Likes Spicy and Sweet foods the best; dislikes Sour foods!

*I hope this is ok; since you did say you wanted some that were skilled in other things.

[Bulbasaur4]

mystic: accepted

Blademaster: The Quick Reply box works fine for me, so I guess check your browser settings or just make a regular reply.

classy: reserved! Yayness!

Poly: Accepted! Nice to see a fighter in the mix. Beserker rage time! XD XD

[Dr.McNinja]

Name: Dimitrius Valen

Age: 26

Gender: Male

Species: Human

Appearance: Dimtrius wears a white button up shirt underneath a stylish black vest. His pants and boots are similarly black and high quality. Over everything he wears a long red coat that hangs to his lower calves. Atop his head is perched a wide-brimmed red hat, a single feather stuck in it to hang roguishly. When performing, or whenever the mood strikes him, he also wears a white mask, featureless except for the eye holes that reveal his strangely colored, yellow eyes. His facial features when revealed are handsome with a strong jawline and midlength, slightly curled red hair.

Personality: While performing, Dimitrius is the consumate magician, mysterious and charming with just enough of a distant, airy attitude to make his audience believe he is communicating with foreign powers. That his normal attitude is not much different makes this rather easy for him. Granted, he is less grandiose and pretentious but he has a tendency to seem like he is looking or thinking about something far away from the present location and can drift off into his own thoughts rather easily.

Profession: Dimitrius is an illusionist/magician who performs generally at a small storefront he owns in the city though he also takes hired jobs at whatever location the buyer desires. He is very skilled, performing seemingly impossible miracles, but he is frank to those who need to know that his skill is nothing more than slight of hand (he has shown how he does most of his tricks to representatives of the clerics to allay any suspicion on him).

Powers/Magic: When he gains his powers, Dimitrius essentially becomes a DnD Sorcerer. Since there likely isn’t a repository of real magic spells in the world he would essentially get new spells from the Magic itself or would just invent them himself as he controlled his spells. If needed I can make a spell-list for him.
It is interesting to note that Dimitrius’ mask changes as a result of his powers, features suddenly appearing on it mirroring the user’s emotions.

Relations: Dimitrius has had contact with Mei, mostly to assure the Palm Reader that he was not going to be a threat to her business with his magic shows as he does not involve any mysticism in them. Some clerics would know of him too since he had to demonstrate to them that his show was purely for entertainment.

Other: Dimitrius has a weakness for tea.

[Sworkill87]

Name: Minoru Shohen
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Species: Human

Appearance: Minoru stands at 5’ 11’’ tall. He has dark blue eyes and jet black hair that he keeps mostly slicked back, with a few strands hanging down. Nothing too fancy for his clothing, he wears a very worn, but comfortable pair of pants. His sleeved shirt is of a heavier black material and could almost be called a cloak. This is because it reaches near his knees and tends to billow out behind him, as Minoru rarely buttons it at all. This shows off his ripped abbs. One can tell from a glance that Minoru is very athletic; he has a very toned and well built musculature. I’ll draw him later.

Personality: Minoru is kind of the bad boy. He’s actually pretty intelligent, but he’s quick to action, so people usually don’t think he is. He isn’t one to follow rules that he doesn’t agree with, and he gets in a lot of fights. There is a set of morals Minoru has, but it really doesn’t take much to set him off. This all goes back to his family. The shohen family is actually very rich and influential. But Minoru feels “They’re all a bunch of pricks to concerned with their money to care about anything real.” Although they’re handy at getting him out of trouble, Minoru has essentially cut himself off from his family. His hatred of people like his family, and those in charge has also led him to hate the clergy, who he has deemed ignorant of most things in the world.

Profession: Street fighter. Minoru drifts through life on his parent’s money. He’s never needed to find a job, so he hasn’t. He gets in a lot of fights and usually takes the money from his defeated opponents.

Powers/Magic: Minoru’s powers will really just augment his purely freestyle fighting abilities. He will have notably increased strength and stamina, but it is his speed that will amaze people. Minoru’s speed and reflexes easily surpass that of any creature. Generally his movements are too fast for the eye to follow.

Relations: He doesn’t have any real friends, though probably knows Gio (given that’s ok with Haruko-san) as Minoru is apt to hanging out around taverns. There’s even a good chance that Minoru has fought with Gio. (Side by side that is.) Helping out as a makeshift bodyguard when things get rough, just for the fun of it… and ‘cause he’s a good guy at heart.

Other: Minoru has an odd affinity for small, fuzzy animals.

[classy_cat18]

Shoot. I forgot all about making this post! I'll finish it later, I promise! I just forgot after I looked through my D&D stuff!

Name: Zani (no last name)
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Species: Human
Appearance: 5'3", medium build and dark skin. Zani has amber eyes that stand out. Her clothing consists of a simple tan tunic and green pants, with leather shoes. She wears a leg pouch for shuriken and her crossbow is strapped to her belt when she carries it. Zani has strange tribal tattoos around her neck, wrists, and ankles of the same triangular pattern. And she has one big pattern on her back of a dragon spitting fire. She somehow can't remember how she got them.
Personality: Zani started out as a little "spitfire", according to her master and caretaker. She's now more controllable, but under the surface of calmness still rests the old Zani. When she's in a fight or other confrontation, she's calm, quiet and rational. But as the fight gets more intense she'll get excited and reckless, something that she's still training on getting rid of. Sometimes she'll spit out insults without even knowing, but rarely apologizes since she always means it. But she never starts unnecessary fights, and will help out anyone when she can without asking for anything in return.
Profession: Monk. Not having much to do with her abilities, she's stuck as security at a bookstore as well as doing various odd jobs.
Powers/Magic: *hopes she got research right* Zani is immune to most poisons, but the stronger ones will render her useless for a short time. She has excellent accuracy with her shots, good senses and agility. She has also been trained in hand-to-hand combat. Kalah, if there's anything wrong or something I need to add, please tell me.
Relations: Her master and fellow monks, as well as Raynel who she met after a accident involving his shoes.
Other: Has a fondness for toys, although she doesn't own any. She appeared at the doorstop of her master's monastery (sp?) ten years ago, with no memory except of her name (it may not even be her real name).

[Haruko]

Thats fine, Sworkill. Edited Gio's relationship to match.

[Weasel Overlord]

I want in! I want in!! I'm severely lacking in active RPGs right now! *salivates*

Sign-up should be done tomorrow, if that ish okay my Bulby friend!

[Sworkill87]

Cool, thanks Haruko-san. Wee for bar fights!

[classy_cat18]

Edited my sign up!

[Bulbasaur4]

Yaynesh!! Everyone is accepted. Classy, your sign up is really good! Like I said... this RPG has D&D undertones, so we don't have to play exactly by the rules anyway. ^_^ But I like it!

And of course Weasel, I eagerly await your sign-up!!



Edit: Sign-ups are closed, granting those who already made reserves. ^_^

[Weasel Overlord]

Signup might be either delayed or none-forthcoming... Sorry for my lateness and all, it's just that this character refuses to work in this world, and I can't make him fit! My brain doesn't want to RP, it would seem...

So yeah... if I can tease the damn thing out of my brain, then I'm in. If not, then I'll have to withdraw my reservation. :_;

[Samchu]

Name: Crimson "Drog" Lionet
Age: (approx.) 24
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Appearance: Crimson stands a little over 6 feet in height, giving him a slight advantage over his brother. Like Jett, Crimson also has shaggy blonde hair, though his is much neater and clearly better kept. His eyes are a deep, dark shade of blue. His figure closely resembles his brother in the sense that he has a very agile frame but Crimson's physique is bulkier. For one, his shoulders are broaders and there is a much stronger definition in his upper body (especially around the legs and torso). His legs are built much more for strength rather than speed. Crimson wears a pair of baggy navy blue pants that cut off an inch below his knees and a black shirt with baggy, red and black checked sleeves. Over his shirt, he wears a blue sleeveless top that zips up to the middle of his chest. From here, two thick pieces of red fabric stretch upwards, following the collar of the shirt. He also wears a pair of dark blue, skin-tight gloves that he never takes off. Even his brother hasn't seen what his hands really look like.
Personality: Crimson has always had a serious and driven character; a stark contrast to that of his younger brother. From an early age he was forced to provide for his younger brother and sister and this drove much of his child-like qualities from him. He can come across as being a bit of an ass because he always appears to be serious but that's because he spends the majority of his life either working or sleeping just to support his family. His job has granted him the ability of easy conversation and he can comfortably converse with anyone. So long as that person is a male. When it comes to women, Crimson's at a loss. He doesn't know how to talk to them or how to act around them. As a result, he can make himself appear as even more of a jerk than his serious demeanour implies but he will try his best to fix whatever problems he might cause. He's very loyal and extremely hardworking, especially as he's known little else.
Profession: He works in one of the taverns in return for food and board for him and his brother Jet. He also earns a little pocket money as well.
Powers/Magic: Psychokinesis: Psychokinesis powers manipulate energy or tap the power of the mind to produce a desired end. Many of these powers produce spectacular effects such as moving, melting, transforming, or blasting a target. Unfortunately, his powers only seem to stay in check when he's with his brother. Any seperation makes them almost impossible to control and occassionally unstable.
Relations: His brother Jett. He also recognises Mei from the time she spends in the tavern but he's never had the guts to speak to her (simply because she's a girl)
Other: He and his brother have been on poor terms since the death of their sister Ameena.

[Crystal Tears]

Name: Jett Lionet

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Species: Human

Appearance: Nearly identical to his brother Drog, Jet looks younger and a bit happier. He stands at exactly six feet and has a deep tan. His eyes are a deep oceanic blue coloration, while his hair is a in a shaggy cut and is golden blond with brown roots for some reason. His body is lean built, exactly like his brother’s, though his brother might be a bit more buff then he is. For clothing, Jet tends to wear a loose and comfortable black vest with a white, expensive looking tank top underneath that’s bottom is lined in a soft blue. He wears black long shorts (is that a term…?) with numerous blue chains hanging off them and many (three) silver studded belts hanging criss-cross on his hips. Why? No one knows, but they look good for some odd reason, as does he. On the back of his vest is an emblem of shards of a sword and its hilt by a stone.

Personality: Jett, unlike his brother, is carefree and really hasn’t grasped the idea of responsibility well. He’s a nice enough guy, and knows his manner, but sometimes he can come off like a jerk and seem not to care. He also quite confident, almost on the verge of being cocky, but his brother’s cynical and dominating nature over him tends to keep him inline. He loves to joke around and usually takes nothing seriously. Jett is also a firm believer in having fun before you die.

Profession: Artist

Powers/Magic: He’s quite adaptable and skilled with Arcane magic like Conjuration and Divination (Are we allowed to get this specific? If not, then just Arcane magic…). Though, Jett can’t really control the magic when he’s apart from Drog (Longer Drog is away, the worse it gets)

Relations: Younger brother of Drog

Other: Lost a sister (Ameena) to the disease, and wasn’t there when she died. Thus, Jett and Drog’s relationship has been unstable and aggressive towards each other.

[Weasel Overlord]

Sorry for the shoddy signup... if anything needs changing, please tell me Kalah.

Name: Anton Sumerechny (Anton meaning “invaluable” and Sumerechny meaning “twilight” or “gloom”)
Age: 29 (since everyone else is early 20s, lol)
Gender: Male
Species: Light Other. Others are humans who have the ability to tap into the Twilight in order to gain supernormal abilities. Others are born with this ability, but it is often dormant until their destiny manifests itself, and they step into the Twilight for the first time. Their first visit into the Twilight decides what they will be from then on; if they enter with fear or hatred, they will be Dark, and love or happiness results in Light.
Appearance: Antosha (the familiar form of Anton : )) stands at just over 6 foot. He has dark brown hair, clipped short at the sides, but it’s slightly longer on top, and so he most often wears it swept up and back, out of his eyes. He has a very slight receding hairline, as men often do. His eyes are a reflective light brown, and topped by expressive eyebrows. Anton has pouty lips of gorgeousness, and he can pull off such a lost-puppy expression it just makes you want to hug him! (Well, I think so anyway!) He wears the plain and somewhat boring combination of jeans and a t-shirt, and can most often be seen wearing a navy blue-and-grey hoodie or jumper over the top to keep him warm.
Anton is lean but strong, and has a somewhat Russian cast to his features, as that is where he grew up. (Well, the Ryffitania version of Russia anyway, hehe) See the pictures enclosed for more details. And no being mean to Konstantin! He’s pretty! *growls protectively* And he’s mine too! Grr!
Personality: While Anton is a Light Other, he is extremely cynical about most things. He knows that the Dark is bad, and he accepts that sometimes to combat evil, the Light must do things that appear to be evil in themselves, but he cannot bring himself to enjoy doing this. Though he is totally cynical, he still has great capacity to love, and he feels it is his moral obligation to protect humans from the Dark, although he knows only too well how fine a line he can tread before his actions break the Treaty.
(Laaaame personality. More may be added later on, depending on what I feel like.)
Profession: Tinkerer. He has a knack for made things.
Powers/Magic: Third level Magician. Anton can tap into the Twilight in order to affect the world around him. He can cast remoralisations (where he influences a human in order to make them a better person), he can cast small protections against the Dark, and he can reach the 3rd level of the Twilight. Any other specific powers are left up to le Kalah, save that he cannot heal or transform. He’s not a healer or a shapeshifter/transformation-mage, heh.
Relations: Any!
Other: Like an Other! Hahaha… Guess who's been watching/reading Night Watch...
Piccytures! One Two Three Four Five

Kirsten's got a point actually - what time period/technology setting is this RPG set in?

[Bulbasaur4]

I'm sorry... I made the assumption that everyone would know. ^_^;; Ooooops.

Think fantasy-based setting, as in pre-technology. Lord of the Ringish, if you will. However, some parts of Ryffitania have 'advanced' technology... but none of our characters would have seen that. (It is quite far away).

So yah... instead of PRogrammer, how about a Tinker? XD XD Clocks and basic contraptions would be new, but existing. Our city technically hasn't even found real elemental 'magic' yet... mostly due to their 'closed wall' policy. Hard to get in or out. Divine magic is the only known magic to them as of now, although legends and books hint to others.

W00t, I have divine magic!

I rock! Kinda! Not Really!
