Bio: Ahmed was born in a land far away from Crosshaven that was and still is covered in sand dunes making it almost impossible to build a city on the dry, arid landscape. Nevertheless, one city was built and still stands to this day, the city that Ahmed was born in, Deir-Elazig. The city was large and populous, with large walls made from sandstone keeping sandstorms and invading armies from breaching the city. Ahmed was born the son of the king's royal wizard, employed to heal ailments and train the king's royal janissaries in the art of magic. Ahmed grew to be one of these janissaries and took a special interest into magic, pursuing it after his required training as a royal janissaries. His father trained him to the extent where he would replace him as the royal wizard if he so chose after his father passed away. Ahmed refused though, and after serving his time as a janissary. He began to study mercantile under a travelling merchant at the age of 25 and founded his own travelling caravan at the age of 30. He primarily sold potions, ingredients and spells but also sold some weaponry and other miscellaneous objects on the side.
He travelled far and wide before he discovered the town of Crosshaven, a small 'backwards' sort of place that Ahmed had only seen the likes of populated by your stereotypical stupid farmer. But the people of Crosshaven were different, a lot of them yearned to learn and explore the world rather than just stay in one place like the older generations. After travelling for a few more years, Ahmed made the decision to buy land in Crosshaven and set up shop there selling magic, potions, ingredients and the equipment needed to use these ingredients.
Who is the Seer?: Someone to match intellect with.
Name: Arman Ryanson
Age: 16
Gender: Female, but looks male.
Bio: Arman grew up traveling, village to village, never settling anywhere. She was the story keeper for her troupe, telling stories for her keep. They are currently stopping by in Crosshaven for a little while, before they plan to move on. Arman hides the fact that she is a girl. When she was little she was picked up from the roadside and has been with the travelers since then.
Who is the Seer?: Another traveler, someone, she respects if ‘he’ exists. She has heard of ‘him’ in legends and one of the first stories she read was a piece of poetry about ‘him’. She would also like, if possible to be the one to record the seer’s story, and tell it to others. (But for that matter she quite likes telling anyone’s stories, if they will let her.)
The way I have this formatted is in a way that the roleplay is essentially always open, due to the fact that people can enter and leave at their convenience. So its kind of like a revolving door, people will be constantly dropping by and then heading out, just some will stay longer than others.

Bio - Lucas comes from a town a little ways down the road from Cross-Haven, where his parents own a locally famous tavern by the name of "Your Friendly Niirborhood Tavern." Their service is fantastic and incredibly quick, with their only being three people employed: Both of Lucas's parents, and a single cook. Their business was their pride and joy, and ever since childhood, Lucas was captured by the devotion his parents showed towards their business, and aspired to run the store some day.
Lucas helped out around the tavern, and eventually was considered to be a fourth employee by everyone. He learned much from his parents, and eventually became skilled enough to open his own tavern in Cross-Haven by the same name. Business there, although a little slower due to the smaller size of the town, was well, and lived up to the reputation of his parents business in the town over. Lately, however, it had come to Lucas's attention that his father had come down with a terrible sickness. Due to this, his normally cheerful and eager-to-please attitude has waned a little bit.
Who is the Seer? - Lucas has heard of him/her, but doesn't believe in The Seer. Upon mention, he usually will laugh and reply with: "Hell, we can all see, can't we? I don't see the big hoopla over it."
I´m interested. I was just wondering if magic is allowed and, if so, what the boundaries are? Where does magic come from? Are monsters a thing? Etc. etc.

And if there is magic, does that mean there is no technology, like lights or vehicles?
adding to that if there is technology and or magic, what about weapons? =3 surely there are dangers that need defending from, but will it be with strength (swords) skill (guns/crossbows/bow n arrows) or will? (magic) =3

Keep in mind this is a fantasy RP, I doubt there are guns unless they are extremely rare and powered by magic. Vehicles would be the same way unless you meant like boats and maybe a horse-drawn buggy or something similar.
I'm not the GM though so you'll have to ask IceHeart.
Right so I added a section about the roleplay setting to the first post. Technology level is late medieval to early renaissance, magic does exists but pure magic has been on the decline for quite some time. Monsters also exist but are scarce, especially anywhere near human settlements. More details in the first post.
As for weapons technology I would say crossbows would be easy enough to obtain so armored knights would not really be a thing anymore. Swords and other melee weapons are still used quite a bit though, magic not so much but custom made contraptions and chemicals can make up for that.

Name: Michael J. Caboose Hunterson (or just Caboose for short)
Appearance: Caboose stands just over 6ft tall, with blonde hair, blue eye's with a little more than average athletically fit build and slightly tanned light brown skin.
Personality: Caboose is a cheerful fellow most of the time and always try's to see the brighter side of any situation, god have mercy on those who somehow make him mad, despite that he's not the brightest, by that I mean he's hopelessly dimwitted, but what he lacks in smarts he makes up for in his incredible almost inhuman strength.

Bio:
(sorry, I got a little carried away X3)
Caboose is a bit of a mystery to the village of Crosshaven, he was found at night by a newly wed couple who were returning home after a little trip, Caboose was under the cover of a tree wrapped inside a small blue blanket just an hour or so away from Crosshaven on the side of the dirt road, he was just a baby, not even a year old, there was no sign of his parents. The young newly wed couple known as the Huntersuns looked around for a little for any indication of the parents before talking to each other about what they should do, they couldn't possibly leave the poor child by himself to become prey for wild animals, or worse. So they did the only logical thing and took the baby into their care until his actual parents were found. As a month went by, bad news found it's way to the Huntersuns, the boy's parents were found, dead only a few miles away from where he was found, it looked like the cause was murder, but the offenders were long gone without a trace.
With the boy's parents dead, the Huntersuns took the boy into their family, and named him, as the years went by it was found out by the Huntersons the Caboose was special in more ways then one, he had incredible strength and stamina for his age, and a naturally fit body to go with it. But it was later found out Caboose had a 'slight' learning curve when it came to schooling, in the end he never finished his schooling, not that he quit, the teachers couldn't handle trying to teach him, but that didn't his adopted parents teaching him what they could, despite that he always managed to find a job to do around the village, with his strength he help with lifting various heavy objects that would at least take two or three people to move. Caboose was completely content with his life, but even so his adopted mother wanted him to live a long happy life with a family, his adopted father didn't think it was really necessary, seeing as how Caboose never appeared to be longing for a partner and was just happy to help around the village, even so Cabooses mother didn't entirely agree with her husband and thusly had a little something set up.
On a day like any other, Caboose's mother had introduced him to a girl his age who also lived in the village, she was a girl who had taken a fancy to Caboose, and his mother had taken notice, when Caboose was working like any other day his mother had come by remind him he had something else to do before coming home, but before she had gotten to him she spotted a girl watching Caboose work from afar, Caboose's mother smiled ear to ear and decided to have a little chat with the girl. After about a week Caboose and the girl spent any free time they had with each other, he greatly enjoyed her company and she his, but their time together didn't go unnoticed by others, the girl with Caboose was quit the jewel to look at, Caboose didn't really care about how pretty she was, it was a plus for sure, but she was friendly and had a good heart and that's all that mattered to Caboose. But to others that wasn't the case, jealously rooted itself into the hearts of those who wanted her for themselves and they planned to make her their own through any means, it would be their greatest mistake.
It was late after work, Caboose was walking the girl home, something they he'd been doing for a while now, then they were approached by to guy's from the village, roughly the same age as Caboose and they look physically intimidating, almost as much as Caboose, they attempted to convince the girl to leave Caboose to go with them, Caboose didn't really understand what was going on so the girl spoke for them, and refused the boys. Then the boy's changed their attitude with angry stares filled with jealously, it was then Caboose was blindsided from behind by two more boys and knocked to the ground with force that would have knocked a lesser man out cold, the girl tried to run to Caboose but was stopped by the two boys that hit Caboose, the girl was being manhandled by the two boys as they brought her over to the other two, they began to do vulgar acts, groping, prodding without her consent, even then when Caboose got back to his feet to go help her, it wasn't the thing that set him off. When the girl managed to get her right arm free she slapped the boy in front of her who was groping her chest, when she hit him he stared at her in shock before adopting an aggressive glare and slapping her with more force then she did leaving an instant bruise.
At that moment something awakened deep within Caboose if only momentarily that slightly increased his muscle bulk, his speed and strength were nearly doubled as he charged at the offender, a look of sheer livid rage was in his eye's as he drew back his right hand and punched the boy in front of the girl with bone breaking force to the right side of his face sending him barreling down the dirt path and coming to a stop a dozen meters away, knocked out cold while bleeding from his mouth and nose. The other three boy's looked at their downed partner in crime before looking to see the eye's of rage gazing upon them, frozen in fear they couldn't escape what awaited them, the girl watched in a state of both fear and awe as Caboose nearly beat the offenders to death, she had stopped him by getting between the boy's and Caboose, reasoning that they had enough, as Caboose looked into her eye's he slowly calmed down, his muscle bulk went away before he passed out and collapsed to the ground. The girl brought Caboose home to his parents and she explained the situation, the three of them planed to talk to Caboose about it, but when he awoke he couldn't remember what happened after he seen the girl get slapped, later the next the next day the four boys who were in the wrong were punished for what they had done, and they promised they wouldn't do such a thing again out of fear of what happened to them the night before, it was then common knowledge to try and not to anger Caboose, which wasn't really a problem since nothing really angered him.
As of recent Caboose had the thought of adventuring after overhearing some travelers tails of their journeys with stories of monsters and treasure, it sounded like fun to him, and like a good way to make more friends, which one could never have enough of, one story had caught his attention, one about this person called, the Seer.
Who is the Seer?: Caboose: "The Seer is... a Powerful!... and Intelligent! Wizard, who goes on awesome Adventures!"

Bio: Roman was born to a traveling band of declining magicians who would travel from town to town looking for work where ever they went. As time went on the band started to decrease until only a few families remained meaning they had to adjust for the times as the time of magic was being left behind by the world around them which caused these few families to take up the mantle of alchemy. They used their magical knowledge combines with the laws of the world to create magical items and medical concoctions that could be sold at the towns that they passed through. As time grew on the need for true magic finally disappeared and on Roman's seventeenth birthday he was given the title of a full-fledged alchemist and given the task by his father to travel the world to find a way to create either a philosopher stone or the eternal life.
Roman took the task with gusto as he was unaware at the time that it was an impossible task and started his travels to the ends of the world in search of every rumor that he heard that could possibly be a lead. By the age that he is at now he has all but given up his search since he has traveled to some very mystical places but to no luck and was starting to realize that his family had sent him on a task to die on. A few years ago he had been given the name Life Bringer because he had saved a town that has been fighting a plague and he had used his medical knowledge to create a potion that cured the town.
Who is the Seer?: The Seer is someone who should be studied and could hold some the answers that he seeks.
