Well at the very least Drallinix hasn't changed his post yet i haven't actually looked to see if anyone hasn't gone yet. There are like three poeple who haven't fought yet but they haven't been on for 2 or more weeks so...

Jon you can do your wake up thing, and then all we need is Esayo to finish the second part of the test and everyone who is still here (im assuming) has gone. I'm guessing drallinix dropped when I told him to change up his post and not be a total bad ass off the bat. I have seen it before so wouldn't really be surprised

I don't have much to say. Can't we just assume Atticus walked back to the rest of you?

Eh Easyo hasn't posted for a week either. :(

Damn are we really down to 4 people? Well Arthanus I guess you were right to recruit a lot of people. If you hadn't this would already be dead.

So do we want to attempt to get more people or is four fine? Cause I could probably get one or two more people to come over

I defiantly would be for getting more people in. if you guys know anyone who would be interested have them join up

eh yeah not trying to be a dick herem but making assumptions isn't that great I haven't gotten around to changing it uyet because I have finals. Got a lot to do writing a decent post is taking a bit longer than id hoped, but that being said ive got a lot on my late so im dropping this RP.

I'll be joining back at the end of Christmas.

Sorry to hear that drallinix, but you were gone for over a week without saying anything so I assumed you had quit. But now that its for sure I wish you luck on your tests and all that. As for BK well we will still be here when you get back.

I am SO sorry for the absence, also dealing with finals and I completely forgot I hadn't posted here. I'll get one up later today, promise, and again sorry.

If this isnt dead, I'd like to be a part of it.

Name: Alexander Van Helsing

Gender: Male

Age: 16

Nationality: Caudium Empire

Appearance:

Bio:
Alexander was born in a small town run by a conservative branch of the church. The town was constantly besieged by minor undead and other supernatural threats and it was up to the church to protect the town. The church ran an orphanage and when a child became a part of the church they would begin the child in some basic education until they got adopted, but that was rare. Usually the church was forced to raise the child into a practitioner of the church.
There are several paths a child in the churches care can take, but by far the least popular and the most dangerous is that of an exorcist. Still, as Alexander was raised it became clear that he was unfit for any of the other branch of the church. They were reluctant, waiting until they were absolutely what the almighty wanted, but eventually they started him in training as an exorcist.
An exorcist is a warrior-magi who relies on Divine magic inherent in religion and is bound to fight the evils of the land. Most don't survive vary long, so it is important to train a new crop every year. This particulate branch of the church feels that calling it 'magic' was an affront to their deity, but that is what it was and everyone knew it. Many exorcists learn to specialize in a single type of spell, which they use to fight the evil that the church commanded.
Alexander was instantly enthralled with the battle aspect of his new line of work, and he became adept at sword-craft. Young exorcists are at one point in their training allowed to meditate on a single tome before they begin their final test. Alexander chose an obscure text on the holy warriors of the church from which he learned the avatar fighting stile.
As an avatar the mage takes on the aspect of a powerful being, and wielding this might fighting in the name of that being. It was amazing how quickly he was able to learn this powerful magic, and when he practiced it during his test the counsel was blown away. Of course at the time he could only call upon a lowly spirit, but still it was the spirit of a powerful exorcist and he was able to blow away the undead he was being tested with.
Slowly his skill grew, until at the age of 13 he was able to take on the spirit of the hero of the exorcists, the first of the exorcists to become a part of the order after the patron saint and founder! Still his skill grew, until the order realized that he was waited on the low-level evil that their little Podunk town had. They decided that they should send him to the Order of the Hunters, so that he may do battle with the greatest evil scourges of the land. Still, they bided their time, and only once he reached the age of 15 did they tell him of their planes. It took a year of time to get the entire thing in order, and now he has been with the Hunters for several months.

Fighting Style: Fights without a shield, just a single sword and a free hand for magic.

Equipment:
-He wields a strong steel sword with engravings in a dead mystic language done in silver.
-He wears minimal armor, its mostly just a cloak.
-He carry’s a tome of lore which he draws upon to fight the unholy.

Skills/Abilities:
-Average swordsman
-Journeyman in divine magic, specializing in the holy battle benediction of the Archangel.

Other Information: He's young and just... don't complain. I'm fairly sure I have a fairly good explanation in the bio... and I just like to play a character close to my age...

Might have to specify what exactly celestial magic is. Also the ranking system is Novice<Journeyman>Expert>Master>Grandmaster and GM says he would prefer no higher than expert magic at the start of the Rp and since you are an able swordsman you would probably set yourself at Journeyman level.

Celestial magic is drawing on the power of the gods, the fith element... and sence at the bagining Darkness was said to be a type, I thoght 'why not'/ Thanks for telling me I got that wrong thow on the expert/master bit. I ment expert but I had been wrighting it for a while first :P

Well that's what Celestial magic "is" but can you do with it. Can you make fire, raise earth, blow wind, rain water etc. What excatly does using the fith element entail. Darkness for example would be controlling darkness, making shadows, possibly turning darkness into weapons. Light would also be fairly simple but what does Celestial magic *do*. At least these are questions i anticipate the GM asking

Clestial magic mostly enhanses peopple, like healing and stuff. in this case he draws on the power of a celestial being to help his fighting skill/

Everyone: sorry for my absence the last few days, been really busy and whenever I have had the chance to get on the site was down :( but anyway back to work.

22xander: It is an interesting concept for the character and I do like it, but I'm going to have to nitpick a few things.

First off I will as always complain about age and say the character is a bit young, but ill let that slide seeing how you explained his induction into the hunters and it makes sense.

Second will be your skills, as I said at the start I want the Expert level of magic to be restricted to pure mages who have magic as their only form of defense for the start of the rp. That being said your character being a mage-warrior hybrid of sorts I would allow you to start with a Journeyman skill level in magic with your "average" sword skills, kinda balances it out and makes you good in both but not great in either.

Next is the magic type, when I here Celestial I think Fairy Tale (which is awesome btw) and the whole summoning spirits to fight for you thing. but from what you explained I think I would label it in the Holy/Light magic area.

Lastly the bio, With your specialized magic style, which ill allow because of the way you fight and all that, I would save the big bad ass spirits for character growth in the future. So summoning something like patron saint of the exorcists would only be possible once you reached the master or grandmaster levels of your craft. If you want to keep it maybe go with something of you pulled it off momentarily but were unable to control it and it fizzled out kind of thing. And for the moment you would still be able to control mid level spirits and that such.

If you wouldn't mind changing up the things I asked and all that I would gladly accept the character into the order.

P.S. Sorry to everyone else who's cs's i chewed to hell and spat out. I know I am being lenient today in some aspects, but I finally got a job again and am in a good mood. Thanks for everyone who has stuck around.

So, I moved us up at least for a bit, You now have some time to interact among each other and get some character building in before the mission. but if we don't really get any talking in before Christmas ill move us forward in a little time skip and get us into a real fight :)

Also Silus and our three NPC characters are open for conversations. I'll talk to you if no one else will :p

Well I was thinking that the final thing would be takeing on the aspect and of a god. The magic isn't persicly summoning spirets as takeing on thair power. I was thinking that he is a magic user, but he has to be able to use a sword adiquitly to be able to channel the angel or spirit in it. I 'll work on it when I get to a computer, just think about this: the Pattren saint is still a human being and sence it's the Patten saint of this obscure order would it really be the.final thing? I can lower my char to that, be he started out at the only level below that of takeing on the aspect of a dead person...
