There is a great turmoil erupting in the World: From the plains to the mountains, terrible earthquakes violently rumble across the land, causing great buildings to tumble and homes to be destroyed. The fishing boats are being rocked by ferocious waves and fierce storms. The simple folk are being stricken by terrible plagues and sicknesses, and many are dying. On some occasions, there is what seems to be fire in the skies; Terrible red clouds that spit horrible fiery rocks to the earth, devastating the world further.

Some folks and soothsayers are saying that the terrible events that are transpiring are a message from the gods, a message stating the world has been corrupted by greed and selfishness, and that the only way to cleanse the earth is to destroy its denizens completely. Riots are being staged to the leaders of the land, and martial law has been placed. People are being slain in the madness left and right, adding to the devastation that is already occurring. Crime is booming. Looters and robbers are taking claim to the land that is shrouded in chaos and darkness. In this bleak time, there is almost no one with a positive outlook...

However, in this madness, there may be a way to end the wrath of the gods...

So welcome and such to Wrath of Gods: An Apocalyptic journey to end, well, the end basically. The main chunk of plot will be handed to you very early in the story, so your character's goal will be revealed soon.

Some basic groundwork to be laid out:

1.) Be...excellent to each other. In other words: behave children. I don't want any OOC fighting. We're all reasonable people here (I hope).

2.) As I stated in the interest check, this is a very seriously themed RP, and due to the extreme circumstances of the RP's world, there will be a lot of hardships and not-so-happy things going on. If you came here for a basic "Save the girl" type Role-play, prepare to be disappointed.

3.) No God-Modding, character killing (without my permission), OP characters, or extreme deus-ex-machina BS to be pulled out of your characters. Everyone's character is going to be a relatively normal person.

4.) Be sure to post in reasonable intervals. No offense, but if I see pages and pages worth of 1x1's right out of the gate, I may seriously scream be very disappointed. Be sure to give your fellow RP'ers time to post.

5.) If you have any questions, concerns, complaints or suggestions, you can drop me a PM or post it right here in the OOC anytime and I will be sure to get back to you in a very timely manner.

I'm going to post the introductory post once I have a few people accepted already. Anyway, here are the sheets:


CS:Name: (Self Explanatory)

Age: (Young adult/teenager to Old-man basically. No 10 year old mage prodigy's or whatever.)

Race: (Standard fantasy requirements, Humans, dwarfs, ect...:)

Appearance: (Preferably non-anime, but if you absolutely must, go ahead.)

Occupation: (You can range from a peasant to a soldier. In terms of jobs, you can be pretty much anything except anything high class, for story purposes. However, if you opt to be a soldier of sorts, you must be low-ranked.)

Personality: (Another given. Just please don't ham it up if you're going the "dark and brooding anti-hero" route...)

Bio: (Doesn't have to be in excruciating detail, just a little background on character.)

Equipment: (Weapons are allowed, but if you're character is someone with a non-violent background you're gonna have to sort of either improvise or come up with a good excuse. As we go along, our characters will find better stuff, so start small. No carrying "The level-8 super-powered master sword inherited from his demi-god father" or whatnot.)

Talents/Traits: (Everyone's gotta pull their weight somehow, you know. Correlates to your occupation and background.)

ACCEPTED MEMBERS:

“Gold in blood.”

If he's not normal enough just tell me, I was trying to walk the line between interesting to play and not OP.

Name: Marlaq Veyacour

Age: Possibly 200

Race: Elf Lord

Also, can I join with 2 characters?

Gnome said

Sure, man.

Char's fine. When I mean "normal," I mean not able to do flashy time-warping super powers and things of the "this character is so good he can kill an entire army" nature. If he has gold or metal blood or whatever, that's okay.

Name: Erec Oak Glazer

Age: 45

Race: Human

Occupation: Erec is just a mere guard, though he isn't very good at what he does. Usually while 'guarding' he takes frequent naps or drinks to his hearts content. He pushes aside his responsibilities to dwell on the better things in life which has caused more than enough trouble for him since he gets scolded and beat by the captain later on when they find him drunk in a ditch.

Personality: He is just an average middle-aged man. He drinks, sleeps, and eats as if it were his last day(everyday). Erec is slow to anger, but he's usually under the influence when someone does manage to anger him. He is easily persuaded with fancy trinkets and currency(He'd be willing to do anything just for a few gold pieces so he can buy himself a drink at a bar). Some don't see him as a fatherly figure, more so as a wife-beater or an old coot(He still believes he is rather young, though his old age is getting to him.)

Bio: When Erec was younger and more handsome he enlisted as a soldier to serve in the army. The young boy underwent training of sorts and soon began to realize the the army life wasn't a life for him. Although, he knew he couldn't turn back and leave in the middle of training now, his peers would mark him as a traitor. So, young and foolish Erec approached the captain and begged asked him to change his current occupation for a mere guard job. Fast forward twenty years later and now Erec is swimming in whores and alcohol. He had never married, though he is pretty sure that he does have a few sons or daughters mucking about.

Equipment: Erec carries a steel spear which is sturdy enough to fight with and a knife on his hip just in case the spear decides to break like a twig.

Talents/Traits: He has some training in fighting since he originally enlisted as a soldier, he is a little rusty. Erec has a strong liver(?)

|Name| Ariana "Ana" Razun

|Age| 29 (Appearance-Wise)

|Race| Half-Blood, Dark Elf/Human

|Occupation| Ariana is a bounty hunter, just recently earning her own position in the guild after a hard apprenticeship. As a woman, she has thoroughly relied on tactics less...aggressive. Giving her an edge when it came to any situation that called for her natural ability to talk. In her line of work, it's dagger against dagger, or brawn to brain. In matters of that nature, she will most always lean on brain. She takes her job very seriously, but as new as she is, she hasn't been on too many missions yet.

|Personality| She may be young, but Ariana is very mature for a woman her age, having seen many things one could only leave to the imagination. She is very cut and dry, one for facts, and as such, is very serious. As serious as she is, she still prefers a laugh every now and then, not too often, but after enough to keep her from drowning in the shallow pit of reality that has builded up around her. She is independent, strong-willed, and at times very fiery. She has made many mistakes because of her need to be better than her male guild members, being too stubborn to accept help. This has left her somewhat reluctant to receive help, but if need be, she will not decline a helping hand. It just depends who that hand belongs to.

|Bio| Once a sneak-thief on the streets, awaiting the perfect chance to snatch the coins from an unsuspecting passerby, Ariana had managed to get caught while sliding the wallet from a armored guard. So she had thought. As her wrist had been caught in the large man's hand, she noticed the symbol of a dark red dragon skull on his gauntlet. The symbol of the Dawn Riders, a well known guild made up of strong bounty hunters, or sell-swords. Some had even progressed to guarding royalty. The man, instead of reporting her or taking her to the dungeons himself, had simply smiled down at the wide-eyed girl. The same wide-eyed girl who would be taken under the apprenticeship to leader of the Dawn Riders, who would grow with a fire in her heart and a passion behind each swing of her blade. Even more-so when she were to raise her bow, a weapon she feel's most comfortable with, blending into her surroundings in the trees. She will sit upon the branches of the highest tree she can find, reflect over her day, or relax from time-to-time.

|Equipment| Ariana has sturdy leather armor with a belt for her money. A black cloak, and the deep silver gauntlets that are made from the guild blacksmith. As for her weaponry, she has a small dagger strapped and hidden on her thigh, as well as a light hunting bow made from smooth elder-green bark, with seven iron arrows to accompany it.

|Talents/Traits| Stealth has always been a major component to Ariana, followed by her quick-thinking and matched with her ability to persuade others. She is a fair-shot with a bow, and very agile, but struggles with close-combat. As a result of her dark-elf heritage, she has the ability to see in the darkness, her eyes taking on a bright glow unknown to other races. Her human features have bestowed upon her a charm that she can use to her advantage when trying to sway those who have what she wants.

Expect a CS from me in the next 24 hours :)

Name: Karhs (aka Redmane)

Age: 31

Race: Orc

Appearance:



Occupation: Hired blade/mercenary, but has also been known to partake in banditry.

Personality: Angry by birth and menacing by reputation, Redmane often takes advantage of people’s fears. He has been called sadistic and those who have seen him in a fight remember him most of all for his dark and booming laughter. In truth however he is not as cold hearted and selfish as people might think, and in truth you’re unlikely to come to harm from him unless you give him reason (that’s not to say he won’t treat you badly or rob you however). He is incredibly confident and likes to joke at the expense of others.



Equipment: Full heavy armour set, a warhammer that’s seen better days and a couple of pouches of gold hidden beneath his armour.

Talents/Traits: His two biggest assets are his strength and his ability to intimidate. Standing at around 6 and a half foot and being built like a tonne of bricks, Redmane has a natural combat advantage. His hard life has left him almost without fear although his bloodlust in the heat of battle can sometimes prove to be just as much of a downfall. Whilst he is a good fighter he relies too much on brute force, and whilst he isn’t slow he does lack technique. He cannot read very well either.

Name: Ti Qentuis

Age: 25

Race: Human

Appearance:

Occupation: Doctor

Personality: Albeit sarcastic and cynical, Ti is always there for her friends. To her, action serves her better than speaking. She's surprisingly quite trusting and optimistic. She's arrogantly confident in her medical skills and will remain determined in fixing someone up no matter how bad the injury is. She's actually very calm, though if you touch her journal, she will snap into a screaming fit of rage.

Bio: Ti lived in a quiet little village with her younger brother. It was a lonely life, but they were happy. Unfortunately, a plague swept into the village, taking multiple lives--including Ti's brother's. It was at that point she decided to become a doctor and help others so they wouldn't become like the sibling she lost.

Equipment: She carries a simple sword and light armour for self-defense and brown satchel. Inside the bag are some bandages, some herbs, a small book on healing remedies, and her journal.

Talents/Traits: Ti has a wide array of knowledge in medicine. She's stronger than she looks, but walks with a prominent limp in her left leg.

Going to take a guess here and say something went wrong?
