Wait, who's supposed to be coming back from our old group?

Probably Deathmaker, although we're not sure about anyone else.

I hope a lot of us come back. I really love this rp.

Same -- though I wonder how many people will join this time around, like anyone new...

You want to go talk to her with a knife in her hand? Are you wanting to part with a finger or are you just that stupid

Name: Kyalia Zaphiris
Age: 23
Species: Angel
Role and Kingdom: Queen of the Michael Kingdom
Abilities: She's wicked with a dagger and she can blend in with most anything
Small biography: Princess Kyalia was always someone who just didn't...fit. Instead of being the regal, sophisticated, Queen she was supposed to be, she was reserved and didn't talk to anybody really and if she did she had a humor that not a lot of people could really understand nor relate too, not to mention it's rumored she cut a man's finger off once. She was closest to her father though and after his death...she tried. She really did. She went to all the functions she was required to attend with out to much prodding and threats, she was remotely social but she quickly fell back into her shadow. But of course she was named Queen Regent, instead of her younger sister, no matter how much she protested. So now, while seemingly less elusive than her brother, the King, she spends her day trying to avoid the nobles while still not giving them real reason to complain.

I hope you don't mind that I A. Joined and B. Her history...I wanted her to be a part of the Michael royal family I just didn't know how to fit her in...I will change it if there's anything wrong with it or if it just doesn't work

Hello! We're always happy to have new faces join us~!

There's a few things about your profile that need to be gone over, though.
o1 . As an angel, she's going to be less inclined to violence - they will fight for justice, but will not be violent without provocation. That would be a sin, and result in falling from grace.
o2 . Technically, even if she didn't want the throne, she wouldn't be able to refuse it without a strong argument against the title. What would her argument be?
o3 . Her biography is too short, and needs to be expanded on. There's no background or personality explained. So perhaps expand using the second point?
o4 . This is a smaller thing, but she doesn't have a surname. Michael's royal family has the surname of Zaphiris.

I discussed these things with Touhoure - since we're co-GMing - and we'd love to see what you can do with Kyalia. c:

Okay, I have edited

You got a longer bio, which is nice, but I would love to know about what happened or how she responded to the assassination of her parents, the previous king and queen of Michael -- how did things change or happen? Even if her nature is rebellious she she not looked upon, she would have to step up to become the next in court because she is the eldest of her three siblings. Unless she was absent during the time, or even committed a crime, but those such things could remove her of her title... a little tricky situtation, I should say.

And Once again I edited...I apologize for all that. I had not seen anyone put an extensive biography, except for Savi, so I did not think it was necessary and then, while I had read the first post, it was earlier in the afternoon and I thought I had remembered what I needed to remember but obviously I had not so I apologize for my lack of knowledge when creating my Character Sheet.

BUMP!~ I definitely don't want this to die.

I think two hours is a little premature for a bump.

Honestly, looking at the Hunters' bio, it feels cramped and rushed. I'll work on fleshing that out some tomorrow. In the meantime, as an explanation of Reuben's: I didn't want to change the bio just yet, but obviously Queen Ernestine may not be making an appearance. So I've bracketed everything that might need to be changed.

Meh. I saw it at the end of the first page and I definitely didn't want to lose it. That would be very sad.

"That fool. I can't help but be unnerved around him. I have this feeling like his bandages hide something more than just mere wounds."

Name: Ash Medai Venel

Age: 25

Species: Cursed Human

Role and Kingdom: Loyal and hardcore Servant in the Kingdom of Gabriel

Abilities: Ice Manipulation. Ash can manipulate things which are already frozen which means he can't manipulate water for it to become ice, rather, he has touch things to freeze it. Only when the water is frozen can Ash command it to do his bidding.

Small biography: Before the turmoil and chaos happened in the world, Ash was born to military parents who fanatically served the king of Gabriel. As such, Ash was immediately trained in combat. The young boy was a prodigy when it came to fighting and this showed on his parents' faces who were really proud of their child. It was obvious where the young Ash would end up at the young age of 18, straight into the military. Ash gained the respect of his peers and his commanders who frequently gave him the dangerous missions, knowing that he could handle it... However, not one mission was as dangerous as the one given to him on that fateful day.

It seems that the rulers of Gabriel concluded that a great evil would surface in Michael, and to avoid this evil, someone or rather, some people had to be put down. With no other warrior present in the kingdom during that time who had the same skill as Ash, the rulers sent the young soldier to kill the rulers of Michael. Ash contemplated his mission, grieving over such a murderous deed. However, Ash knew where his loyalties lie... with Gabriel.

The young assassin went forth, travelling for days on foot until he reached Michael. Ash examined the glorious city, already preparing himself to spill blood. On that night, the young assassin went about his mission without delay. He had everything in check and accounted for, he was sure that he would succeed. However, in his 'perfect' plan... he had missed something. It was the King and Queen's servant... The fool was still awake when Ash theorized that everyone would be asleep. The servant alerted the guards as Ash was chased off the castle and into the streets where he was incapacitated. The assassin was carried off and interrogated for which would be the worst years of his life.

For sometime , Ash was interrogated by the guards... even going as far as torturing him, however, the young lad's tongue was never softened by the burning irons nor the sharp blades. Ash endured such hellish treatment under the guards where his sanity was being eroded. It seemed that it was Ash's end as the one day, the guards decided to put him to 'sleep' for good. If it wasn't for an urgent news that the Kings and Queens were assassinated, Ash would have been killed. His wardens left the boy to die by bleeding as they ran to the castle. It was at this moment that Ash made a deal of a lifetime.

Calling upon his rage and spite, his desperate soul silently made a deal with a demon... Asmodeus, one of the princes of Hell, heeded his desperate call as the two exchanged deals. In exchange for strength and power, Ash would be forgotten by everyone as a soldier or as a talented captain of the army... He would only be remembered as a lowly and poor servant in Gabriel... with nothing to his name. Minds in pain often think rashly as Ash sealed the pact... Ash felt his body rise as the chains that held him were turned to ice. Ash broke through his bonds as he realized his whole body was beginning to turn pale, his eyes had turned blue, a mark of the cursed.

Panic ensued through Michael as Ash got some bandages and a sword. The boy wrapped the bandages around his whole system to cover the scars that would never heal. Using the chaos, Ash escaped through the crowd as he made his way out of Michael. Ash traveled back to Gabriel as he was met with the disgusted eyes of the people, his commanders, his peers, and even his parents. With nothing left to lose, Ash took his job as a servant in the castle and for 4 years he worked from the bottom, keeping his powers secret. Through the years, Ash never had friends, nor did they even want to be with him in the same room for a minute... As the number of servants dwindled in the chaotic times, Ash was then assigned a task by the rulers... to become a personal servant of a snotty young princess.

Ash took the job happily as he knew that it was just another method of protecting his beloved kingdom... Through the years, Ash never forgot the scars he had faced and up to this day, he seeks to immortalize the memories of him which he had allowed to be forgotten years ago.

Without Bandages:

Hopefully there's room for a... weird... demon knight. I wanted to try out something different from usual knights, though I'm not sure if it's different in the first place. Feedback is appreciated! (below is a rough draft until it's either approved or unable to join the roleplay no matter what) There are many additional details put into the bio.

EDIT (1/20/14): The Backstory was updated to a MUCH longer one. Feedback is appreciated.

"The coldest heart and an unpredictable path of cruelty... What more would you want from that cold bastard?"

Macbeth

Age: Unknown

Species: Demon

Role and Kingdom: Demon Warrior, Lucifer's Kingdom

Demon Abilities**: Cold Flux - Macbeth affects temperature and blood pressure around him at a small radius. The more he sticks around a human being or an angel, the colder his body becomes. The cold around him can drop anyone's blood pressure (regardless of species, including demons).

Witch Hunt (Secondary Ability) - If there are three or more people within his Cold Flux radius, Macbeth will have slightly increased resistance against magic spells. Note that his Cold Flux radius is deceivingly large and small. Demons cannot fulfill the requirements of this secondary ability.

Backstory/Biography: Deep within hell were the more isolated and unknown lands. While many of Lucifer's demons were found within the kingdom, Macbeth was found trapped within an eternally cold prison in a vast underworld far away from the mainland. Two of the underworld's soldiers spotted his frozen form behind a broken pillar of ice, where his body was taken to the kingdom. Even when his frozen tomb was within the kingdom's reach, it refused to melt without the use of excessive heat. He was quickly, and primitively, nicknamed the "Ice Man."

The Ice Man was equipped with heavy armor, and a sword pierced through his face beneath his lifeless helmet. Even before the tomb was brought to the kingdom, the sword glowed and oozed of demonic energy, though it was rare magic even among demonkind. The very existence of the unknown victim disturbed many who witnessed its presence. Claimed to be a far too dangerous for its mystic background, the Ice Man and his malevolent sword were buried under one of the most isolated and empty prison cells. His underground cell was placed slightly near the kingdom.

For centuries, rumors spread amongst demons that the Ice Man may be brought to subject from the kingdom's royal officials. He, however, was never mentioned. Time allowed the corrupted denizens of Lucifer's kingdom to forget about the once fearful Ice Man.

But not everything was meant to be frozen forever.

One fateful day, like any other malicious day a demon would enjoy, the sword began to pour out massive waves of energy out of itself. It was quite the hungry cannibal, for it did not thirst for any kind of blood; it demanded the blood of demons. With an enraged impatience, the cold, yet hot-blooded weapon called upon the Ice Man, who was coincidentally its final victim. It was time for the demonic weapon to finally take over a host's body. Using up the last of its energy, the Sacrificial Rite managed to awaken the frozen man beneath the ice.

A substantial amount of time was given to the Ice Man to break out of his frozen tomb. He no longer wore a simple battle helmet, but a more royal, yet broken helmet of a hardened warrior. Wielding the Sacrificial Rite in his hands, the Ice Man crawled and found his way out of the prison his own kind placed him in. He was terrifyingly angered by the demons' refusal to help him, their own kind, in getting out of his dreadfully cold grave. While he was angry, however, he also noticed that he knew nothing of what he was doing, who he worked for, or where he even was. It was then, while on the way to Lucifer's Kingdom, that the sword answered his questions.

"You are special," it told him with a soothingly sinful voice. "Nothing can bind you in any sorts of chains, for I am here to guide you."

The Ice Man wondered what the malevolent weapon wanted to help him with.

"Your answers will be given when the time calls for it," the sword claimed with its energy continuing to preserve the Ice Man's newfound strength and will. "But for now, I crave for what is rightfully mine. You, Macbeth, will serve me."

"Submit yourself as a loyal servant of Lucifer, Macbeth. Serve him, but definitely not with all of your heart. Trust him to make him trust you, but you must remember that he is not gullible."

"Kill him, but that will be for later."

Still confused by his creator's words, the now cold-hearted shell and servant of the Sacrificial Rite proceeded on to enter the kingdom of Lucifer. There, he will become known as Macbeth, the servant who spread agony through the cold.

Personality: Macbeth's sword does some of the talking and cutting, while Macbeth carries the sword. While the two of them do synchronize well in terms of power and authority, the weapon tends to stay asleep for long periods of time. Macbeth learns through what he does and what others tell him, and he never draws his sword on others first. He cannot bring himself to strike down royal figures (such as kings and princesses) without his sword's permission.

Macbeth's weapon is slowly losing control of itself, which is the reason why it wants to bask itself in the blood of demons, return back to its original form, and kill Macbeth before things go completely out of hand.

Macbeth rarely talks.

Additional Information: None.

... Maybe I should make the queen of Lucifer... hmmmmm....

Maybe you should. We're going to have our hands full as is, considering how many minor characters we have as well. Rissa, Rowan, Joy, Vern, Phillip, Wren, Lloyd, Grizzle, Roy, and then Lucy if we ever get there.

Oh, right, I needed to ask: are half-demons or half-angels possible? Or would a child be a pure angel or pure human?

True! True!... I have an idea for the Queen of Lucifer anyway. Hehehe.

So before I forget I am going to post a large thing on this-and-that answering all your questions and concerns and what's going on. I was originally going to do this after I finished my profiles since that would be a decent outline to work on, but considering that I may procrastinate even more, I thought, "Hey, I might as well just do it right now." I'll also throw in a disclaimer -- I'm either kind and lenient or straightforward and to my word. I'm sorry if any of this comes off as mean -- I share no intention of doing so! However, I must not let this version of the role-play become unbalanced and chaotic as the original. On top of that, I like to consider my co-GM's words, so moving on...

✥ Kaalee: It's okay, it's okay -- I personally don't find longer biographies necessary, but if it helps keep consistency, then throw in whatever you may. Now, you did put yourself in a tricky position because you did want to be part of the Kingdom of Michael as a 23 year old princess. Even if she didn't want to take the throne, she would naturally be bumped up, unless if she ran away... but her chance of return? Well, if she returned, she may not be very welcomed, or at least not warmly. You are put in a difficult spot too because if your character was younger than the twins, this wouldn't be much of an error. I can try to see if Wisp wants to bump our character ages up, but I don't want the whole "depending-on-another" going down. Yet, at the same time, you kind of do depend on the twins because they are the siblings to your character technically (unless you toss up something like she was adopted by the king and queen). I'm sure to revise my profile and edit the mention of the elder sister when we figure out how Kyalia will fit.

We can try to make her a temporary queen, and perhaps by her word she stepped down? I'm not too sure if that is possible, but another thing I would personally consider is how often she did these violent acts. I feel like enough acts would make her unsupported by the people or perhaps null her from being heir by her parents. Sure, I mean, there was that one time, but think about it being like... multiple times -- and how much trust there is between those lines! You can also lower her age to make her younger than 19 to keep her from ever being considered queen in the first place.

And then there's the minor detail of the surname being Zaphiris, thus she'll be Kyalia Zaphiris since she's part of the royal family that is currently ruling Michael.

✥ Deathmaker: I see you have traded sides -- I mean, welcome back. X'D

Awesome profile, but there's only a few pet peeves that I'm gonna throw out -- but don't worry, you're not going to have to flip a table and recreate a character (( In fact, I really hope no one has to do that. I don't want to drive anyone through that insanity ))...
1) The quote comes from someone who is talking about the character, not the character actually speaking. It's kind of weird, isn't it? However, to see how people would think about them from the outside is interesting.
2) Be prepared to change "For years" to a smaller amount of time -- I know, it sounds less hardcore, but depending how long time has passed since the declaration of war... I would assume a few months or a year? Nothing too dramatic, but things are getting started. Unless if Ash is chill being in prison for some time, but I surely wouldn't.

✥ NarayanK: I'm going to first praise you for your creativity and dancing around the system -- yea, the latter may sound like I'm disapproving, but just hang in there.

I expected Macbeth to have a friend and run into three witches who told him that he will be king, but alas I was disappointed. Being a demon knight makes up for it though. But let's get to the point I wanted to make -- you got your ability, like usually, and then you got a weapon full of magic, which danced around the system of having only one main ability (( and for demons and angels, you get those subs 'n we have to consider skills 'n all, ya-da-da... ))

An awesome sword that is really powerful is neat, but with the magical enhancement you did bring in another ability to you. I could talk through with my co-GM about having magical weapons because it's not native to the wielder, but rather to the item itself. Also, the sword is really powerful, did I mention that? Yea, I originally wasn't gonna have any kick-butt magic weapons -- just plain old regular items and then the ability would be what you can manipulate, create, or do. The ability isn't exactly like a move -- no, you don't have to punch in up-down-up-down-a-b-a-b or any of that fancy! It doesn't get a name either; ability was meant to be the sort of power they have. I suppose you can title the general ability of summoning the acid (( for example )) and such, but it's up to you whether you want your character to have to say a spell aloud or have spells, like "Acid Splash!" and whoo, corrode an enemy. If you could for now cut out the weapon and save it onto a notepad or so, that would be neat. As for the last two, you did mention Cold Flux and then Unknown Ice Magic -- that's where everything comes down to your ability and what you can use, or you can attempt to combo it by saying one is the main ability while the other one is secondary, which means the latter relates to the first.

I also understand that what you have presented is just a rough draft. A very pretty rough draft.

And I just saw your update. Damn.

✥ TaroAndSelia: I thought about it, but I feel like it's just going to end up as pure angel or pure demon. Perhaps because you can get so many stat bonuses for being half-angel -- I mean. Yea, you either are completely a demon because of product of other demons as an angel may have to posses your body and think, "Hey, this is a nice place to stay." Those are the only ways when it comes to reproducing by the such.

I'm very sorry if I brought anyone down or upset anybody -- I do appreciate all of your ideas, but I just want to keep with what I've written and decided on for the role-play. u_u*

Some things may change as I consider on other things going on, but I will let anyone know if there are such changes going on.

She only did it once...but she never talked to anybody...they can't trust a queen they've barely met. Further, she refused to marry and refused to have an heir...I would prefer not to reduce her age to 19 just because of how I create my characters and how their personalities usually play out, with the air of someone in their early to mid twenties compared to someone in their teens. Maybe I could have made it that she ran away and came back recently, after the war had started...they would have already been coronated so they wouldn't be uncoronated would they? Or maybe she's the bastard daughter of the King but he recognized her as his child so therefore she would technically be a Princess but not eligible for the throne...if either one of those sound good I will edit....and I will add her surname...I am so horribly ADD about editing things...I mean to change two things and I forget the easiest one haha.
