Athel Thoralia is a world between worlds. It it were to be compared with anything, it would most likely be the sun within a solar system. All the different realms rotated around it, and the people of Athel Thoralia watched them with interest. However, each realm that they observed could only be observed from a specific area. Their wizards scryed day and night, trying to unlock the secrets of these fascinating people. Soon, each of these areas adopted different customs, fashions, weaponry, and even food. Every one was so diverse, its technology so different, that when one citizen migrated from one town to the other, they had great difficulty adjusting. Thankfully, the language remained the same throughout the world, although each area now had different intonations of their wording, similar to what the other realms had as 'countries'.
While the world was relatively safe, Athel Thoralia was still plagued by monsters, which were now more a nuisance, than a dire threat. However, before the people learned how to defend themselves properly, the monsters would kill, rend and destroy, until the people fought back, and built a wall around their cities. These cities now teemed with citizens, and going out of the city became dangerous as monsters waited outside for wary travellers. It was then that the portals were developed, a fast way of travel from one city to another. To travel to anywhere else, would ahve to be done by horse, foot, or as in the case of Aldour, airship.
Throughout its whole existance, Athel Thoralia was relatively peaceful, apart from the occassionaly incursion from orcs or trolls, or the more barbaric monsters. That was, at least, until the coming of the Puppetmaster. One dark day, the Puppetmaster emerged from a dark portal that spontaneously appeared outside the area or 'Marwule', which, at the time, was under siege from Orcs. No-one knew what casued the portal to open, but out fo the portal strode a dark, hooded figure. Almost as soon as he was free from the bonds of the dark tendrils of the portal, he flicked his fingers, and several black, flaming strings flew out, attaching themselves to the orcs, who began to renew the assault on the walls of the city. Even when an orc under the puppetmaster's influence was impaled, it would keep moving, as if nothing had happened. This caused a great loss of morale, which ultimately caused the city to be lost. Now, it stands as the Puppetmaster's fortress, and the seat of his power. The lands have decayed and died in his prescence, as if the land itself rejected him and his existence, but even so, he binds monsters to his will, and sends them to do his bidding.
All the remaining areas sent their armies off to combat the imminent threat of the puppetmaster, but they were ravaged and slaughtered by the awakening of dragons, of whom the Puppetmaster bent to his will. Their forces severely weakened, the armies returned to their areas to lick their wounds, and wait for the inevitable invasion to begin... All the while, the mosnters had grown more aggressive and more powerful, and the cities could barely hold them at bay, though there were some areas that were reportedly cleansed of the monster taint. One day, a group of adventurers, gathered from the best of every area, declared that they would attack the Puppetmaster's capital, and slay him. With that, they ventured off, and reportedly made it to the Puppetmaster's inner sanctum...before they were slain, one by one. The one survivor, a paladin, came back, bloody and wounded, and managed to speak of wounding the puppermaster, before he died in the arms of the local preacher. With that, their hoped were crushed.
However, the mages would not hear of it. If they could not find suitable heroes from their world...how about the worlds around them. Since they were the Crux for all these other worlds...perhaps they could drag their heroes through the scrying gates and into their world. Surely the champions would listen to their reasoning? After all, they were defenders of their own worlds, and surely they were noble enough to defend theirs?

BEASTIARY:
Slimes are the lowest of the low monsters. Simply just an amorphous liquid bound within a semi-permeable membrane, the slime poses near to no harm apart from suffocation. While they are the weakest type of monster, variations do exist. The most common is the green slime, used by various schools as live training dummies. However, what slimes lack in quality, they make up for in quantity. Beware the Slime Hordes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rules:
1. Don't swear excessively, a little is fine.
2. Don't godmod, just cause were in an RPG doesn't mean we can slaughter a whole army in seconds (No matter what Dynasty Warriors says)
3. No Cybering, thats why PM was invented...not really, but you get the idea
4. Put Pies somewhere in your CS so I know you've been reading this
5. Have fun
To be continued if I see further problems

By systematically destroying the command structure of an enemy, the Sniper throws them into disarray.

Special Ability: Hawkeye: Sniper arrows always connect, regardless of the path they must take. They are able to change direction as long as the Sniper has line of sight to their target.
: Preferring to work with speed rather than precision, bowslingers have forsaken the bow in favour of the crossbow. Fast, mostly accurate, they find its sleek deadliness quite fascinating. However, the fact that it almost takes as long as a rifle to reload often turns away most archers. To compensate, the bowslinger is literally shrouded in crossbows. Instead of carrying around a single weapon, the bowslinger is festooned with crossbows of all shapes and sizes. What bowslingers lack in accuracy, they make up for in numbers. A frontline sharpshooter, a bowslinger is most often found near the action, filling their opponents with bolts.
Can Equip: Crossbows, Light plate armour
Special Ability: Boltstorm: Throwing their bandolier into the air, the bowslinger proceeds to fire out bolts in a cone in front of them, peppering enemies in that area. While undeniably effective, teammates should be warned before use.
Cannons are large projectile weapons usually mounted on a wagon or city fortifications, because of their large size and incredible weight. Cannoneers are an exception. While the cannons these people used are miniaturised versions of the ones on walls, they still bear enough power to break through the first layer of the enemy and into the second layer.

Arsenal: Operatives carry around a literal arsenal with them, being able to carry 5 weapons into combat with them and switch between them in the heat of battle.
An expert in the art of the silent kill, the assassin can kill one person, before swiftly disappearing back into the shadows, only to reappear in another location and take out another enemy. Like the Sniper, the Assassin removes high priority targets, but they ensure the kill with a kill stroke, and are able to chase an enemy to the ends of the earth to hunt them down, unlike the sniper, who gets one chance at a shot from range. Utilising weapons which remain hidden in the folds of their clothes, Assassins only rarely use weapons which can be seen on their persons. Fast and agile, Assassins rely on speed and dexterity to avoid retaliation.
Can Equip: Knives, Daggers, Swords, Cloth Armour
Special Ability:
Spectre: The assassin fights best at night, where he can disappear and reappear at will. During night battles, the assassin has a higher dodge ratio, as well as increased damage.
Pirates are Hitmen who have become interested in pursuing their business to the waters. By taking to the seas, pirates attempt to make their fortunes by scouring the seas for sunken loot, preying on trade routes, and generally causing trouble in the waters. However, that does not mean that they are useless on land. The large distances between ships in naval combat means that the pirate have to learn to use a ranged weapon, in order to live out his life, and so many take up the pistol, while using a sword.

Masters of disguise and quiet death, the ninja is an expert on the use of poisons, and handles killings that require a less bloody hand than an assassin, such as causing the death of a competitor in a mayoral election. Able to disguise themselves even better than a trickster, ninjas can infiltrate a facility, slip a virulent poison into their target’s drink, and disguise the death as a natural cause. While less proficient in direct combat than the assassin, ninjas tip all their weapons with a virulent poison that can cause fatality within moments if not treated.
Can equip: Daggers, Knives, Throwing Weapons, Cloth Armour, Blowguns
Special Ability:
Poison tipped: All weapons, including thrown weapons and blowdarts, are tipped with virulent poisons that cause damage over time, atrophying an enemy’s muscles and eating away at their flesh. While this poison is capable of killing, the body is able to isolate the areas the poison affects and destroy it, so without periodic reapplication, the poison will fade away.
Jesters are tricksters who enjoy toying with their enemies. Using almost comical weapons, the jester is able to incapacitate enemies and then forces them to watch him as he laughs at their death. While the jester cannot disguise himself any more, he is capable of drawing great attention to himself and his antics, before slipping away in the ensuing celebrations, leaving behind an array of ‘toys’.

Special Ability:
Smoke and Mirrors: Every few seconds, the jester can teleport himself a short distance in a puff of smoke, reappearing with an echoing laugh.
Rider is a title given to a horseman who has become able to tame and ride any beast, including flying mounts and water-borne mounts. Their stats vary according to the type of beast they ride, but they are generally fast, agile, and act as the vanguard of the army, as well as being 100% of a nation’s air force. However, just mounting a creature does not make it able to be ridden. One must first tame it so that it does not throw you off its back in the midst of battle.
Can Equip: Lances, Swords, Light Plate
Special Ability:
Take the Reins: A rider is able to use their experience in beast taming in order to wrest a beast under control for one battle, before it starts to disobey orders right afterwards. Occasionally, the beast may grow fond of you, and you will have a choice to switch mounts.
A cataphract is a heavily armoured horseman suited to breaking through infantry formations, and wreaking havoc within them. Both the rider and horse are heavily armoured, and thus shrug off many blows from enemies as a minor annoyance. The hoof falls of a cataphract are horrifying to behold as the gleaming slab of metal charges towards you at a breakneck pace, and has caused more than one formation to rout from the simple sight of it.
Can Equip: Lances, Two handed weapons, One handed weapons, Shields, Heavy Plate Armour
Special Ability:
Trample: Cataphracts deal constant AoE damage around them when in the midst of an enemy. In addition, the horse itself is able to attack surrounding enemies.
Survivors are woodsmen who have lived long under their own power, foraging for food and building their own shelters. Doing so much with your own hands grants these men and women great prowess in the art of survival, and the knowledge of how to survive in any environment. This includes where to find water, what areas to avoid when ensuring safety, and what is poisonous to eat and what is safe. These people are an integral part to any party, and any without one would surely die once they run out of rations. However, utility is not the Survivor’s only use. Able to lie in waiting in almost any environment, survivors can easily ambush their enemies after they have fallen into traps he has set.
Can Equip: One handed weapons, Slings, Leather Armour, Survival Kits
Special Ability:
Survival Instincts: Survivors are able to tell the lay of the land and its properties by simply taking a stroll through around the area. He can identify water sources, poisonous plants, and areas to avoid. However, he is also able to hide himself in any environment, be it desert, rainforest or tundra, and be nigh on undetectable if he lays still.
Beastmasters are woodsmen who have developed a kind of understanding with fauna and their ilk. Able to speak to them in their own language, beastmasters can call creatures to his aid, and to attack enemies for them. When a beastmaster is around, the ecosystem itself is bent on your demise. Able to gather information from animals in the area, beastmasters are able to effectively locate enemies, and send his companions after them. However, more advanced beastmasters have been known to not only call upon mythical creatures, but turn into beasts themselves and rend their enemies asunder with tooth and claw.
Can Equip: Staves, Talismans, Leather armour
Special ability:
Metamorphosis: Beastmasters are able to take on the form of animals in order to maul their enemies, or to travel around at a faster pace.

Personality: A selfless individual who always puts others before himself. He is calm during battle, keeping a solid focus on what happens around him. He wears what little emotion he feels on his sleeve, not afraid to speak his mind whoever he speaks to.
Bio:
Born to wealthy parents, Robert was expected to live a live of life of luxury attending court and living off the work of his servants. However he had other ideas. At the tender age of five he had already developed a distate for the way those who worked for his parents were treated. By seven he had become such a pain to his mother and father from his constant protests, that they couldn't take it any more. Thus he was sent to the local barracks to work.
Upon arriving he was immediately impressed by the armour and vast array of weapons on show. He was soon disappointed as he found a ladel in his hand rather than a sword. Working in the kitchen to help feed the soldiers he would prepare all their meals. In between cooking he would sit and watch as they trained and drilled, often mimicking their moves as best he could.
Finally his twelfth birthday arrived. The barrack Sergeant had noticed Robert copying his men every day since his arrival and offered him the chance to wield a training sword. Robert wasted no time in accepting the offer and soon found himself training against men twice his size. He took a beating for years, the soldiers treating him just as anyone else. For almost four years he was constantly bruised but sixteen was a turning point.
He was a relatively small child but from his sixteenth birthday his body developed at a rapid rate and he was able to stand his ground with the other men. His increasing bulk and years of training meant he was able to successfully defeat the majority of the troops.
The years that followed up to his twentieth birthday were filled with endless battles and bloodshed in defence of his homeland and families. His height had reached 6'5" and his body 264lbs of muscle mass.
The final battle of a war with a neighbouring nation was won when he cleaved the head from the enemy commander. Robert had come close to losing his own head, only saved by a quick deflecting of the commanders sword with his shield. He responded with quick swing of his sword, forcing the blade through the flesh and bone of the enemy. Robert celebrated but no sooner had he started, that he found himself blacking out. When he awoke he was surrounded by a group of other people awaking from a deep slumber.

First and foremost harby, you must understand that I am a former thief, and therefore a rebel, and so I refuse to mention the dreaded round, baked pastry that you seem to be ever so fond of!
Name: Emil Al-Atel Age: 19 Gender:Male
Personality: Formal and courteous, Emil gives off the no-nonsense, almost cold demeanor typical of members of the Knights of Ilya. He is loyal and seems almost fearless, capable of facing the fiercest of odds without batting an eye. Calm and capable, emotional outbursts of any type are far and few between for a man like Emil. Emil acts with a calculated and precise pace, recklessness is unheard of with him, and his discipline is something to be awed by. As a Knight of Ilya, Emil works well with others and has been trained to be able to operate with a variety of people and personalities, though some are easier to work with than others. A very prideful man, his pride also serves as a point of weakness. Not a complete emotionless hunk of ice, Emil has a soft streak and has been known to develop soft spots for select individuals.
Bio:
Spoiler
Emil hails from the realm of Guardia, a land currently plagued by swarms demons and war. The nation of Ilya is among the largest of the standing nations of Guardia, and is currently engaged in a 3 front war. Ilya faces Gerundo to the north, Bendan to the east, and the demons that plague the land.
Born into the noble Al-Atel Family, Emil was the youngest of seven. As the youngest, he was not entitled to anything but a small paltry sum of inheritance. Emil, like many of his younger siblings, turned to a military life early on in his life. He began his training at age 8, 2 years younger than the common age for trainees. He learned quickly, and easily, and his ability put him on level with the older and physically stronger trainees. He picked up swordplay with considerable aptitude and thanks to his family's high standing in the political world, he attracted the attention of the Royal Knights of Ilya.
At age 12, he was accepted as the squire of Rasklar Aiden the Phoenix, a knight famous for his prowess and honor on and off the battlefield. As a mentor, Rasklar was ruthless and worked Emil tirelessly to further improve his mastery of the blade as well as the way of knights during the day, and to learn his letters and proper etiquette during the night. No matter how difficult he was worked, Emil did everything with his calm, deliberate manner. Emil excelled in almost all aspects of his training. He was skilled with swordplay, his speech was eloquent and proper, if somewhat empty, and his discipline impressed all but the most impassive of knights.
At the age of 18, Emil was inducted as a full Royal Knight of Ilya. After a brief session of supplementary training to complement the training he received from his mentor, Emil was placed under the command of Captain Frenrick Tesayla, one of the major leaders of the Royal Knights of Ilya.
Almost immediately after his induction, Emil was deployed along with Captain Frenrick and the rest of his knights to liberate the small town of Galna. Before the Royal knights headed out for Galna, Emil was visited by his mentor. Rasklar gave to Emil a white bird. Emil questioned his mentor. Rasklar had never been one for sentimentality, and something as fickle and flighty as a bird would hardly be a very useful gift on the battlefield. Rasklar left Emil's question unanswered, and with the question still in his mind, he followed Captain Frenrick's troupe of a score or so knights made their way to the town of Galna.
The knight's arrived on the hills overlooking Galna to see a foul sight. The soldier's of Gerundo had easily swept through the defenses of the small town, and were in the middle of helping themselves to their spoils of war. The town had little in the way of weapons or gold, so the soldiers helped themselves to the town's women, some even in broad daylight and in the streets. Disgust and indignation swelled in the hearts of the knights, and after a quick runthrough of Captain Frenrick's plan, the knights deployed to exact their vengance on the soldiers of Gerundo. Prior to the battle, as Emil strapped on his shield and mounted his horse, he released his small bird, still wondering why his mentor had bothered giving him the delicate animal to begin with.
While the soldiers of Gerundo numbered over a hundred to the Ilyan Knight's twenty three, they lacked the training, discipline, and prowess of the Ilyan Knights, and with the knight's attack, the Gerundo soldiers were caught unaware. Many were literally caught with their pants down as the knight's charged in from the south and west. The knights had eliminated over a thirty of the soldiers before the Gerundo forces were able to regroup and counter attack.
Emil and three other knights had dismounted and waded into the thick of the battle, towards the center of town, a bid at rescuing the town mayor, his wife, and their three daughters. Emil's blade skillfully found its way into the hearts of many of his opponents, and whenever his blade for some reason could not weave its way through his enemy's defense, his heavy weapon simply hewed through them as Emil and his comrades continued through the street. Two of Emil's comrades fell to the mass of enemy blades as the knight's pushed onward, surprised at sudden resistance of the enemy forces.
Emil and his companion knight managed to fight their way to the courtyard of the mayor's house, where the mayor was waiting for them, a blade pressed against his neck by a large, heavily armored Gerundo knight. Also outside were a half-score of soldiers, also well armored and equipped, unlike the common footsoldiers that fought with the knights throughout the down. The Gerundo Knight was revealed to be General Cathca, a capable and powerful general, well known for his ruthlessness in battle. Because of his ruthlessness and bloodlust, he was often placed on the frontlines leading small commands of soldiers as they pillaged. Emil and his companion stood, two young knights preparing to face the feared General Cathca and ten of his best soldiers.
At a command, four of Cathca's soldiers entered the mansion and shortly returned with the mayor's wife and three daughters. Cathca released the mayor and sent him into the grip of another one of his soldiers. The general's black helmet shielded his entire head from the view of the outside world, and his twisted motives could confuse the greatest of psychics. The general reached out and grabbed the mayor's wife, and in a shockingly soothing voice released her and gently pushed her in the direction of Emil and the other knight. The mayor's wife made a few tentative steps toward the two young Ilyan knights. Suddenly, with a vicious bellow, the General drew his great blade and drove it through the back of the mayor's wife. Both the mayor and Emil's companion howled in rage and anguish, and the second Ilyan knight charged towards the general, his blade raised high above his head.
The General deflected the blade with a lazy flick of his wrist, and drove his sword forward and ran the young knight through with his blade. The young knight's helmet shuddered, its visor shielding the shock on the young knight's face. The General withdrew his blade and the young knight staggered back a step. The young knight staggered a step forward, and The General lifted his sword yet again and beheaded the young knight with a single swift stroke. The General then turned to Emil and lifted his bloody sword as a challenge to the young knight.
Emil, whose helmet and shield had long been discarded during the battle through the street knew he was at a considerable disadvantage, but he could not run away, nor could he face the General and his ten soldiers at once. Emil lifted his blade to return the General's challenge. The larger, more heavily armed General removed his shield, and the two men began their duel, the grey-brown and purple armor of Ilya and the dark grey and red armor of Gerundo meeting eachother in the center of the courtyard.
Emil was smaller, younger and less experienced. General Cathca was greater armored and wielded a heavier, more powerful sword. It took every trick, maneuver, feint, and strike Emil had in his arsenal to be able to defend himself against the powerful General. The General pressed his advantage, his swings becoming heavier and heavier, while Emil fought defensively, striking only when he found the opportunity. Each second felt like an hour and each minute seemed to stretch on for an eternity, and Emil found himself reaching his limit before the General even began to break a sweat.
While their duel went on, Emil was too focused on his sword work and his enemy's blade to realize that the sound of fighting had almost completely died out, and that the Ilyan knights had almost completely routed the remaining soldiers. Captin Frenrick and ten other knights poured into the courtyward while Emil and Cathca continued with their duel, and began to engage the General's personal guard.
Captain Frenrick, also without a shield, rushed into Emil's duel to aid him in fighting the vastly superior General, but even the two of them had difficulty facing the ruthless General.
Finally, with a fatefully lucky thrust, Emil managed to pierce the General's armor, landing a blow on his side. However the General quickly recovered and returned with a vicious stab, running Emil through and lifting him high into the air before throwing the young knight off his blade. The General only realized too late however that he was fighting two men instead of one, and the time he took to impale Emil had left him completely open to the Captain's strike.
A blade suddenly began to protrude from the General's chest, and blood leaked from the the seams of the General's helmet as the great knight fell to his knees and collapsed, dying. Yards away, Emil also laid dying, blood seeping from the gaping wound in his stomach.
Emil's vision flickered as he stared groggily at the gaping whole, not comprehending his Captain's shouts and words. Emil vaguely felt a sensation pulling on his mind but managed to resist it long enough to glance at himself once more, quite easier now that his head had been propped by something. His dying vision made out a small white bird landing gently on his chest, the little avian creature's head cocked at Emil's bloody one curiously. Emil had the brain cognition to wonder why he was given that bird once more before his consciousness left him and he fell into the cold dark, waiting for his first glimpse of paradise.
When he awoke, Emil felt no different than he did when he was alive, and he saw no gates of heaven. Instead, he found himself laying on a wide expanse of grass, with several others sprawled about nearby him.

I can't tell if Myke is standing on something or did an amazing job of timing a jump. I'd like to imagine it was a jump
Neither, he is floating
I'm pretty sure he's just that tall
No he was on a table
I don't know.. Have you seen how tall he is?
In your dreams. See you tonight... (Alternatively, I also live in Australia)

I'm bouncing between a Soldier and Brawler. IF you aren't sure about any of the third tier classes, PM me and I'll tell you about them. Like how the Rider rides flying mounts as well, and how the operative can equip several guns. And the bowslinger is just...hilarious. Fire crossbow, throw it away, pick up a new one. Rinse and repeat

Name: Rant Landru
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Appearance: Rant
Personality: He is a happy kid, a bit goofy, and likes the thrill of a good fight. He, in general, has all the quirks and annoying habits that young adults have, as well as the awkwardness. He is, however, somewhat loud and boisterous despite his situation. He's not someone you would expect to be honor bound, as he's usually the guy cracking jokes at everything or goofing off.
Bio: He's had to scrounge around for money since he could walk, and since he could talk he discovered that fighting was the best way to do it. Using his fists has earned him his bread, so he's been fighting out of necessity his whole life. His decorations are intricate brands he gave himself every time he won a major fight, as a reminder that what he was doing wasn't right. Although he loves to fight, he hates that he has to fight dirty. He's never really gotten close with anyone else, but that's not really due to any specific social ineptitude, he just... Hasn't. He hasn't found time or need to team up with anyone, and couldn't deal with another mouth to feed. Again, while not outwardly showing it, most of his thoughts base around survival. He figures "No one hates the funny guy, no one would want to murder the funny guy in his sleep," so he's tried to be a pretty funny guy. He usually fails, but that doesn't me he doesn't try.

Should I just pm the three co-GMs my bio and have them PM you a stamp, or should I just wait here and have them basically just post "I stamp" if they approve of my character?
CJGodman: You have a grand total of five sentances in your entire CS. I dunno what Harby expects, but I'd expect a CS with a little more filling. I mean, in casual, the minimum post size would probably be five sentances, if not more. Shouldn't you be doing more for your CS, the heart, mind, and soul of your character?
Flesh out the bio a bit more. Until then
STAMP DENIED.
