(note this rp is based off of the gba game of Summonnight. No knowledge of the game is needed to rp this successfully)

You are born into the world of Senefer, a vast continent of forest, desert, and tundric terrain. At the heart of one of these forests is where the roleplay begins- The woods of Degar enhouses a village where many flock from all over to learn the craft of weapon forging. The profession of Craftknight is to not only forge weapons but use them to protect the defenseless from the wild summon beasts surrounding sanctuaries (cities and places under protection). The monsters surrounding the cities have begun to act strangely- their violence increases by the day. It has been rumored that their behavior is linked to a cult that lives in the wild- placing the beasts under a spell to enrage them so they can push their own agenda.

This cult is known as the Maw. They are made up of a motley crew of individuals. Intelligence has returned that they are not merely a group of bandits and crazed mercenaries- but hardened fugitives and outcasts from the Guilds. They are lead by Andropedas- a bear of a man who's brutality is matched only by his faith in the task he follows. Their Task is known as the Absolute- who's goal is unknown at the moment. Maw squads go about brainwashing summon beasts to terrorize towns and destroy things- as of late their actions have been minor and spread out- but it is understood that their acts will only increase in the future.

The force up against this cult is the Order of beast tamers known across Senefer as the Guilds. They are the elite- the strongest in all of the land. They are legends in their own right. The capital is their home. All young apprentice Craftknights revere their names; Andras of Storms along with his Griffin beast is the Knight of Thunder, Talitha of the Abyss and her oni guardian claim Knight of Fire, Brogan the Bad along with his sharktoothed tiger beast is the Knight of Wind, Gyuri is the Knight of water alongside his serpent beast.

And so the goal of all apprentice craftknights is to train and join the forces that the Order leads- to defend Senefer from all evils like the cult of the Maw.















(Character limit is 3)
Appearance: (All pictures allowed. I'd prefer art though. I'd include armor too)
Name: (Make it fantasy. I don't want to see common names)
Age: 17-19
Gender:

Weapon specialty: (Pick only one. What type of weapon does your character like to forge/wield the most?)

Personality:
Bio: (Does your character come from Degar or were they born somewhere else? What is their family like? etc..)



Possible Races (All appearances, save for the Fairies, are from the games. These are not concrete. I'll most likely be picking images from google searches)

Mechanoid- Robots from the Machina World of Lorelai. They are aligned to the element of Thunder.



Oni- demon creatures from Silturn. They are aligned to the element of Fire.



Fairy- fairy type creatures from Sapureth. Aligned to the element of water and often specialize in healing.



Beast- more animal than the other races, these beast types hail from the world of Maetropa. They are aligned to the element of Wind. (The games show monkies as being part of this race- but I'll open this up to any kind of fantasy animal)



I will be roleplaying the Summoner. Your characters will be lead to the town hall where they will meet the Summoner. The ceremony is pretty simple- your character provides a 'Token' which is an item that means the most to them. The Summoner will take this item in his hands and form a ball of energy around it. Then they will commence to ask your characters a series of questions.

Depending on how your characters answer will determine what kind of beast I give you. I'll provide their appearance, race, and element- you are free to name them and give them their personalities.


All Guardian Beasts start off with an element- this is their aligned element that is linked to the dimension that they hail from. However- this does not mean that your creature cannot develop a new element or learn new skills and spells from other elements.

How Guardian Beasts develop new abilities:
Your Guardian Beast holds great potential. Despite who they were in their previous dimension- they reach Senefer being able to do very little element-wise. Meaning they (for a wind element, for example) could only use small bursts of wind for attacks or (for water aligned) manipulate water into attacks.

New moves and skills can be learned simply through training alongside and befriending your creature. Roque has studied each element and knows exactly what each creature would need to reach their next level of ability. Tamirlan will aid the students in bonding with their creatures.

As for the mechanics of the rp and how this will work- I'll be handing out the abilities to your creatures. Once I feel like your character and creature have grown enough.


1. Follow Guild rules
1.5 at least 2 paragraphs per post.
2. Don't machine gun the IC. Meaning don't just rp with one other person for pages and pages without waiting for others to post. Be patient.
2.5 If you plan on leaving post in OOC how long you will be gone (or pm me) so i don't kill off your character for being inactive for so long.
3. I don't tolerate OOC fights. I'll kill your character and kick you out of the roleplay if you're being an asshole.
4. No sex. Take it to pm for that.
5. Be gory and gross as possible, though. Bloodshed is not frowned upon once the apprentices are out in the real world.

Moved :D

@karamonnom Accepted. Please move Calette into the CS section c:

Interested. I'll see if I can come up with anything.

Ah, is there a limit on how many characters we can create?

Good question. I say the limit is 3. usually when I say 2- people make their 2 right then and there- but later on want to make a new character. So I'll allow 3 for that reason.

Hmm I'm quite interested in this - I think I'll create a character or two tonight and throw them in :)

Lebelont [+]

Appearance [+]

Lebelont stands at 6'2''. He has muscled and there are a few mighty scars he bears on his body. His skin is lightly tanned from the many hours spent toiling under the sun. He has bright blond hair that sticks out everywhere (His bed-heads are incredibly hilarious) and fierce sky blue eyes that matches his spirit.

Name: Lebelont Askeladd
Age: 18
Gender: Male

Weapon specialty: Spears

Personality:

Boisterous and aggressive, Lebelont will always be that guy who charges in head first. He is driven by the desire to achieve, so many of his decisions will be influence either on the opportunity to improve or to prove his existing skills. While he may come across as hot-headed and dim-witted, Lebelont's passion makes up for it. He has a very powerful presence and mind, something that will only translate into power as he continues to learn. Lebelont knows he has a long way to go before he becomes the best Craftknight.

Bio:

Lebelont is the son of village head. He is the second oldest of his four siblings, not including Altea. If there was one thing that could describe Lebelont, it's 'Mama's boy'. Of course Altea came along and then momma was all doting on Altea and maybe Lebelont got a bit jealous. However, he knew Altea was a good person and pretty darn strong too. Lebelont has always seen Altea as his equal and has probably grown most attached to her compared to all of his other siblings. (Mostly because Altea shared the same dream as him.)

While Lebelont originally wanted to learn how to wield and create a long sword, his small stature at 14 would discourage him. It was then when his father jokingly told him to take up the spear instead. His head filled with cool spear technique names, Lebelont bothered the local blacksmith to teach him to make a spear. He was rejected many times before his persistence paid off.

After that, he started to grow taller and taller. However, Lebelont is still sticking with his trusty spear.

[See more at Altea's bio.]

Altea [+]

Appearance [+]

Altea stands at 5'9''. She is also muscled but more of the 'lean' side. Her skin is lightly spotted with freckles and is slightly tan as well, if not a more darker color compared to Lebelonts'. Her body is a canvas of scars and burns that tells a story of hard work and dedication towards her craft. Altea keeps her chocolate brown hair in a messy bun and has cloudy gray eyes.

Name: Altea Askeladd
Age: 19
Gender: Female

Weapon specialty: Glaives

Personality:

Altea is an amiable person who keeps her feelings locked away. She speaks and laughs freely, and is known to be brutally honest and ever-enduring. However, Altea does not form attachments easily. To those who manage to worm their way inside her heart, expect lots of shy love. Altea may seem a bit meek at first but she is in fact very cunning and quick-on her feet. She shares a fiery passion with her brother to also become one of the best Craftknights.

Bio:

Altea's real surname is Mereski. Her mother died when she was young, leaving young Altea to fend for herself. Her father was a Craftknight who was never home because he was out travelling to rural places where wild summon beasts ruined farms and killed people. Unfortunately, he vanished and was presumed dead. With no parents, the head of her village (Lebelont's father), took Altea in as it was his duty to take in young children until they turned 18. However, Lebelont's mother, who never had any daughters took Altea as one of her own children.

Thus began Altea's real childhood that was filled with love. She was given a place to call home - a mother and a father who stayed home to raise his children the right way.

Altea met Lebelont when she was 10 years old and Altea found herself slowly drawn to the tiny little boy. Lebelont, fondly called Lebie at the time, would always spout off some random nonsense about becoming the best Craftknight. His parents and other siblings would just scoff at him. Altea knew it was a far-fetched dream, nevertheless, she found her own heart wanting to become a Craftknight like her father.

When Altea found Lebelont being beaten by some boys one day, she promptly kicked their butts and helped Lebelont stand up. Little Lebie thanked her and then challenged her to a duel right off the bat.

"I'll beat you Altea!" Lebie would shriek in his unusual high voice. And she would beat up Lebie too.

The following years, Altea and Lebelont would duel each other during their free time. At seventeen, their battle statistics amounted to this: 4023 clashes; 1540 wins to Altea, 1539 wins to Lebelont, and 944 draws. While their dueling matches could be seen as playful, their clashes eventually shaped how the two fought in the future. Plus, little Lebie was no longer little - much to Altea's disappointment.

During those good years, Altea learned from a nearby village's blacksmith who specialized in glaives. Eventually, she would surpass her teacher so she left for Degar with Lebelont when he turned 18.

They sound great!- I especially like Altea c: please move them into the Character section when you can

Would you like the character sheets posted here before being moved to the character tab?

Yes please. Once they are approved they can be moved to the character tab.

@Kiri

Thanks!

I look forward to RPing with you all. :^)

Tal [+]

Appearance [+]

Tal stands at around 5'6". You could not describe her as slim, but she is not overweight either. She is reasonably strong, especially her arms. Her hair is long and a dark brown, often tied back, though shorter strands often fall over her dark brown eyes. Her skin is a dusty brown tan in colour and mostly unblemished, though her hands and arms have a few visible rope burns.

Name: Aletta 'Tal' Rilynn
Age: 17
Gender: Female

Weapon specialty: Bows

Personality: Aletta is a reasonably quiet person, tending to stay calm and level headed and going about unnoticed. This isn't to say that she dislikes people, in fact she prefers to spend time around others. She just has a tendency to say very little. She is generally quite a collected person, one to think through her actions rather than rush into something. She is a good team player, but has a tendency to follow along with others a bit too much.

Bio: Born to a relatively well off family in Degar, Tal is the youngest of three. With an older brother to inherit and an older sister to be married into another family she was always somewhat reduntant. She was rather close to her older brother and it was him who first taught her to use a bow. She had a natural talent with this kind of weapon, and quickly worked on honing this skill. It was something her parents never particularly approved of.
She began to learn how to craft bows only a few years ago, liking the idea of making her own. Against her parents' wishes she went more and more down a path that would lead her to craft and use these weapons for a living. Now she has decided pursue a goal she has secretly harboured for a long time; to become a Craftknight

Sai [+]

Appearance [+]

Sai stands at around 5'2" and is rather short and slender, verging on skinny, with reasonable curves. She has raw muscles and numerous scars scattered about her body. Her skin is fair and her red hair often left loose. Her hazel eyes are often cold, and judging.

Armour [+]

Her armour is made out of leather, mostly.

Name: Sairse 'Sai' (Unknown Surname)
Age: 19
Gender: Female

Weapon specialty: Knives

Personality: A rather harsh person, Sairse has little tolerance for those she views as weak. She has a raw intelligence and cunning though she has been untaught and has never truly learnt to read or write. Her trust and respect are both things that are difficult to gain, and in general she is unlikely to like people she has only just met. However she is a rather confident person, somewhat flirtatious and headstrong. She has little regard for others feelings and will speak her mind whether it is hurtful or not. Above all she is a survivor, and will do what she can to stay alive.

Bio: Born in the capital, to a poorly mother who died within four years and an unknown father Sairse has spent most of her life looking out for herself. The only thing she possessed of her father was a knife left as a gift for her mother. Sai was young when her mother died and with little to do she forced to take to the streets. Here she was taken under the wing of a few other children such as herself and learnt to put her knives to good use, and the natural agility and speed she had been born with. She learned to defend herself and survive where there was no place for the weak. She became a rather skilled thief, something that she still views as useful.
Her life changed somewhat when she made an attempt to steal from a blacksmith, a knife that caught her attention. However she wasn't quite good enough to get out with it. The blacksmith took pity in the young girl, only twelve at the point, and decided to take her in. It was from him that she learnt to craft the weapon she had grown to love and honed her skills more, though she still felt the urge to steal. After five years learning from the blacksmith she left in the night. While she was grateful for what she had been taught she had no wish to make that her future. For two years she travelled from town to town, until now she has reached Degar.

Accepted- but quick question- knives are kinda tiny. They don't span longer than the hand. Did you mean daggers? They're longer and provide more defense.

Trueeee I was going to put daggers and then I changed it for some reason xD Whoops.
