Default The Empire OOC

Alright, this is gonna be a fantasy RP through and through. Think WoW or something similar. Only thing about that is, there are no guns, they don't exist. But there's everything else, sword, bows, magic, and everything in between. Be imaginative with weapons.

What I'd like this RP to be, is something a little different from what I see most RP's are like. Many RP's focus on the plot and a story-line, and events that progress it. All those things will exist within this RP, however, I don't intend for those to be the focus. Rather, I thoroughly enjoy the interactions between characters, the relationships that develop, etc. So, what I'd like this RP to focus on are those things.

I do have an underlying plot in mind, dealing with an invasion by a foreign nation, however, the details of all that are things I'd like to reveal in the story, over time, and so...I'll say no more about that plot.

The setting is a very simple one, that I'm hoping others will help to flesh out within the RP, so feel free to add to bits of the land's history, so long as it fits with the things already established. At present, the land that this takes place in will simply be known as The Empire. There are cities, towns, and villages spread throughout the country. You can start in any of them, feel free to give them names. The story and settings will develop in game, as we go.

I like very open RP's, and so for this RP, I'm not going to set a limit on the number of people who can join, or anything like that. I just ask that if you do join, you are active.

Now, for the character setup, I'm thinking something a bit like this:

Name:
Gender:
Age:
Race:
Weight:
Height:
Class:
Appearance:
Weapons:
Items:
Skills/Abilities:
Bio:

Many of these are self explanatory, I just ask that you don't make the character an extremely powerful being. Having weaknesses makes the character much more realistic and believable. The only other thing is the Bio. You don't need one at all if you don't want, it's entirely optional. And if you do have a Bio, I'd ask that you do very little in the way of your character's history, as I find it much more enjoyable to find out a characters history through their interactions, and through descriptions of their thoughts, or internal dialogue.

So, other than that, if you've got an questions about this feel free to ask. If you'd like to join, just post a character here and jump into the story, no need for approval from me or anything. I'll post my character now:


Name: Dazac
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Race: Human
Weight:140lbs
Height: 6 feet
Class: Ranger/Rouge

Appearance: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3058/...9ac0c5.jpg?v=0

Weapons: Bow and Arrows are his primary weapon and he is quite skilled with them.
Carries three daggers; One large one at his hip, a small one concealed in a boot, and a small one hidden in his sleeve.

Items: Arrows, which he usually has around ten of.
Basic wraps and herbs for curing ailments and cuts.
A flint striker to start fires.
A small hatchet.

Skills/Abilities:
Strengths; Highly athletic, he can run for long periods of time, and is quite fast. He is also able to move very quietly when need be.
He is very good with a bow, even when there are many distractions around him, he is able to shut them all out and focus solely on his target.
He has excellent vision, even at night and can make out even slight movements from others.
Weaknesses; His prowess with blades of any sort leaves a great deal to be desired. He's alright with shorter blades, like daggers and knives, but the bigger the blade gets, the worse his skill with it is.
He wears next to no armor, and so in close confrontation he's likely to be injured.

Bio: Dazac is a man who is often hard to know. He is typically quiet and has a calm, pensive look on his face. He is sometimes prone to burst of anger when backed into a corner, or when his adrenaline is spiking from battle. he speaks little about his past, as if he'd rather just leave it behind.

Beyond all this however, he has a kind heart and often worries about others more than himself. This has lead him to a state of depression however, as he has found few people seem to care about others beyond the few they know, and he has grown exhausted from his efforts to help and worry about others. But, it is in his nature and so he has not stopped. The one thing he longs for is for somebody to care about him, in the same way he cares for others.

Here's the IC RP! The Empire

I think I covered everything... Is this okay?
>_>



Name~ Driscoll
Age~ Unknown
Race~Human\Dragon
Height~7'10"
Weight~410

Dris(Dragon)Collin(Human)~
Entering a battle together, Collin rode atop Dris' back, slashing and plowing their way through the main forces. Seemingly un-stoppable, Collin jumped off his partners back, landing amidst a dozen enemy warriors. Using his skills at full potential, he cuts down his many foe with one sight in mind; Killing the Evil Lords of this world. Drawing nearer to one such being, Collin was struck by a magic, cast from far distance. Dris, realizing was has happened, swoops down to his parter landing harshly above him. Upon hitting the ground, A shock wave is sent, violently throwing friend and foe alike into the air away from Collin. Watching as his comrades life fades, Dris sacrifices his spirit and body to the Gods to save and protect Collin. The Gods, surprised at a bond so strong, burn the bodies of the two, whirling their ashes together. After a few moments, two bright spherical lights engulf themselves into the ash, supressing the misty figure. Soon after, a new body was materialized mid-battle, revealing the likes of a dragon. However this new dragon also appeared to be human in certain ways of appearance.
Weapons~ Driscoll carries a huge buster-type sword, said to be handed down from the Royal Dragons ages ago. Many names have been given to this sword, however, the true name is known only to the dragons themselves; Bahamuts Grieve. Though a huge sword, tis not made for killing any species, rather to save the souls who have lost their way and joined with the evil forces. Bahamuts Grieve releases the trapped spirits, returning them to the royal palace of the heavens. As secondary weapons, Driscoll uses his own body parts, such as his long razor like claws, and his giant retractable wings. The claws are used for close quaters, and ripping his enemy to pieces once they are dead, so evil can no longer use the empty vessel. Discoll's wings do not allow him to fly, for unknown reason, however, when used correctly, Dris can send huge waves of air powerful enough to crumble small buildings.
Abilities\Defense~
Driscoll possesses no major powers or abilities. The only thing he really holds to his advantage is his enhanced speed. This is due to his adapt Dragon muscles and build. His scale like skin allows for a natural defense against some blades and all projectiles. The webbing in Discoll's wings allow for extremely light protection against magic, allowing him to protect his body from weaker mages.
Personality~
Drsicoll is a very quiet individual around others. Do to his minor split personality problem, Driscoll sometimes has trouble, making aquaintances. The dragon side of him tends to be very protective of those he may care about, as to his human nature allows him to veer away from some emotion, allowing him his cold slight bitterness towards others. All Driscoll really wants in life is to rid the world of evil and return the lost spirits back to their place of origin. Those who share the same vision, will get along just fine.
