Run. (Victorian-Fantasy RP) OOC

[W164]

NO LONGER RECRUITING PLAYERS

"A few days ago, you all saw something that you shouldn't have seen. Yes, we know about that. And sadly for you, so do they. While I can't say what it is that you saw, I can tell you that they aren't too happy about you seeing it. In fact, they're searching for you as we speak. And you can be damn sure they won't be very friendly to you if they do find you. Luckily for you, we can help."

SIMPLIFIED PLOT

Deep within a local forest not far from where you live, you and a few others witnessed an peculiar event. While it isn't exactly known what it was or what it was for, you saw what looked like cruel magic and a great bonfire that towered over the ghostlike silhouettes that were gathered around it. A few days afterward, a man confronts you and tells you to meet him at a local abandoned home that isn't too far away from where you live. When you go there, a group of people are waiting inside, along with the mysterious man that confronted you beforehand. He tells you that the event you saw a mere few days before what led by a group known only as the Cultists, an incredibly stealthy cult focused on 'purifying' the world in some way, and that they know that you saw the ritual. He also proceeds to tell you that he and the other people who are with him are apart of an organization known as the Watchful. The man offers you protection from these Cultists if you agree to travel with them to the Monarch's City (the capital city), so you can provide proof of the ritual and help stop the cult before they're mission becomes a success. The only problem is that the Cultists are stealthy and enjoy hiding in plain sight, so trying getting to the capital will be difficult, but possible. And so, the journey begins.

SETTING

The RP will take place in a Victorian-themed fictitious and heavily civilized region (Or country, if you prefer that term) known as the Third District, run mainly by humans yet the other species of the world still thrive there as well. And although the 'district' is heavily civilized, many natural lands and areas still remain intact (like forests, caverns, lakes, etc). In this region, magic exists but is hard to come by and equally difficult to master. Along with humans, other species that occupy the Third District include elves, dwarves, and many other fantasy species.

More about the cult: As stated in the basic plot, the cultists are incredibly skilled in the ways of deception and stealth. Why, your local butcher could be a member, or the traveling doctor, or even the newspaper writer's apprentice. You can never be completely sure of who's working with the cultists and who's not. The cult is said to have been around for many many years, possibly even before the beginning of the Third District. Their exact intentions are currently unknown, though it's fairly certain that their intentions are not for the greater good.

More about the Watchful: Another incredibly stealthy group that was formed in the early days of the Third District (centuries ago) to enforce the laws of the government, but have since then broken away and started fulfilling their own desires and secretly enforcing what they believe is right. Not much else is known about them. All that is known is that they are nearly extinct with only around 150 active members scattered about the district, but what they lack in numbers they more than make up for in loyalty, honor, and efficiency.

If you have any questions, let me know. I'll gladly answer them. The IC will be up as soon as we get enough people in to start.

[Anshar]

This sounds like fun. I hope it's okay if I join in.

Name: Thierry Cassardi
Age: 26
Species: Half-elf, half-human (if that's alright?).
Gender: Male.
Bio: He was born poor, grew up poorer, and entered adulthood without a single coin to his name. He did, however, have a few skills to offer the general public: one of which being an excellent baker, thanks to his mother's teachings. He started his 'career' by cooking bread over an open flame and selling it on the sides of the street, and ended up--a few years down the road--with a small building all to himself. On the lower lever is the bakery, and on the upper level is his home. He doesn't make a large amount of money, he still has to scrimp and save to buy even the smallest luxuries, but he isn't in danger of going hungry anymore, and that's all he's ever wanted.
Appearance:

Personality: He's not awfully talkative and his jokes tend to fall flat, but he's genuinely cheerful and happy with his lot in life. He could probably even be charming if you gave him enough money. He doesn't have much of a capacity for malice, and he'd rather be nice than confrontational when it comes to bad situations, if only because he knows he's not about to be winning any fights.
Other Info: Thierry is not pronounced 'theory', it's tee-AIR-ree (at least the way I say it).

Only witness characters? Or do you need a watchful char?

[W164]

Anshra, you're accepted.

Only witness characters? Or do you need a watchful char?

You can be a watchful if you want to, Cartwright.

[Tumblepop]

Name: Rowdy Pistols
Age: 25
Species: Human
Gender: Male
Bio: Rowdy grew up with his brother Weston half a world away. When otherworldly forces swept his brother away, Rowdy has followed the trail in pursuit. The trail has now taken him to the Third District, where he may have found more trouble than he was looking for.
Appearance:
Personality: Rowdy is a man of few words. Quiet and determined, he can come off as cold and insensitive, but he has a passionate loyalty to those he is close to.

[Cartwright]

So! Small questions: How old is a watcher suppose to be? Is there a blood line routine for in the event a Watcher is relieved of his duties? Need to sew a logical bio together

[CorruptedShadow]

Make my CS in a bit!

Gender: Male

Appearance (Either picture or description, or both):
Personality: Intelligent, brave, kind, cares for friends(Even more to females....his race explains it.)

[W164]

Tumblepop, you're in.

So! Small questions: How old is a watcher suppose to be? Is there a blood line routine for in the event a Watcher is relieved of his duties? Need to sew a logical bio together

Good questions. First of all, the watchers don't really have a set age limit. They can range anywhere from 16 to 72 years old. As long as you can fulfill your duties, age doesn't matter. Secondly, there isn't a set bloodline routine. I hope this info helps.

[Cartwright]

So they get recruited through a specific process?

[W164]

So they get recruited through a specific process?

If someone wants in, they have to be trained by a preexisting watcher (usually by taking the recruit along on missions, stuff like that) for a few months (to see if the recruitee is trustworthy/is worth the Watchful's time). If they are, they're accepted in, but only as a trainee. When they finish training, they become a true watcher.
