I stood in front of my pupils, light from the fire illuminating them before me, curious and young faces staring at me in the comforting light of the fire. Tonight was the night of their first mission, and such it was my obligation to tell them what they've surely heard a thousand times by now, yet tradition must be obeyed. "Long, long ago there once was a kingdom by the name of Galvarok. Her citizens were happy and prosperous, her land rich and fertile, and her king kind and courageous. Until one day they came. From the depths of the earth the beasts rose, otherwordly monsters who killed as if it were some game, pillaging and plundering all that stood in their way. The other nations Voro, Nosk, the Midlands and Westland gave everything they could to aid their neighbor.

Yet it was not enough..........The king couldn't bear to see his people suffer any longer and took matters into his own hands. With his most loyal followers he built a gate, a seal that would lock these demons away for the rest of eternity. And so it came to pass, but at what cost? The king had died, or so it is said. Gave his own life to seal the armies plaguing his land away forever. And so his loyal followers, the men and women who stood by their king as he made the ultimate sacrifice, swore to stand watch over this gate and ensure it never be opened again. The other nations vowed to support these knights in their endeavors, and thus the Choosing came to be.

From this oath, from these watchers came, an order of knights, sentinels to stand watch over the gate and to protect those who cannot defend themselves. Sworn to valor, duty, and honor these knights have stood for a thousand years, protecting the weak and innocent, and striking down the arrogant and unjust. You are these knights, you have all been selected in the Choosing and have advanced to where you are now, standing before me. Each of you will set forth, Raiments in hand to do your sworn duty." I delivered the story solemnly, as tradition requires. Yes, soon these young knights would face the world and stand tall, or be crushed underfoot. I couldn't help but hope for the former. Rubbing my bearded chin I feel......hesitant, I can tell something is coming, something will happen soon, I can feel it on the wind, and only time will tell what awaits us.

This will be a high fantasy type RP set in the world of Ascalon. You will all be playing the young knights that the narrator mentions. Now a few things that I should explain here. A Knight's Raiment is your personal weapon. A weapon that defines you as a knight and can have a great range of powers from manipulating an element to protecting it's bearer from harsh environments or other hazards or to nothing and aside from providing passive benefits to it's wielder.

I will put more information about Ascalon in the OOC or if anyone is really interested and can't wait, just ask! I'm always open for questions.

A fair point, and something I had considered, however I thought it would be a bit much for just an interest check, you know?

It's usually nice when you have a bunch of stuff laid out for potentially interested parties to see and delve into your world some more beyond the base premise. I'd put it up in a spoiler tab if you're afraid it might clutter the opening much.

so how does this sound for my raiment?

Raiment: The Soulforged
Taking the meaning of the word "raiment" perhaps somewhat literally, The Soulforged is not a weapon but an exquisite set of armor which covers the entirety of the user's body. The armor is seemingly made out of polished bronze and its design is obviously ancient, a mixture of solid plates and small scales which together manage to cover the entirety of the body. While the armor's material and design are eyecatching enough it's also covered in runes from head to toe, each scale inscribed with an individual symbol while the solid plate cuirass, pauldrons, gauntlets, grieves and indeed the helmet are covered in intrincate diagrams. Not a single symbol is ever repeated across the whole armor and the entire set seems to blend together into little more than decorative carvings, requiring close inspection to make it all out.

The Soulforged is a very practical Raiment, instead of providing stranger or more complicated powers it simply boosts the user's physical capabilities to supernatural levels, making them innordinately strong, fast and tough. In exchange it lacks the more complex magical abilities of other Raiments, makes the use of weapons or implements practically impossible (as they tend to simply shatter from the Raiment's power) and, perhaps worst of all, The Soulforged attaches itself to the user's body, a painful and traumatic process which has killed potential knights in the past. The helmet is the only removable part, while the rest of the armor only ever detaches itself after the death of its user.

It's certainly interesting, especially against another defensive Raiment. Surely a formidable foe wields that one.

Alright, I'd like one more person for a total of 7 players counting myself, and then I'll make the OOC where I shall dump even more information and a CS!

I'm probably gonna have my character use a halberd, because Dark Souls made me love halberds, but I'm still thinking what power I want to use.
