Celestial Bonds
The Fateful Few

Chatzy
Introduction

The Country of Grenheim has been under the threat of war for the past several years, and has been increasing the size of its army ever since. As of now, 40% of Grenheim's men have undergone military training. This isn't enough.

Two years ago, Grenheim's greatest magi made a revolutionary discovery: a powerful ritual that allowed them to take two people who share a powerful, nearly unbreakable emotional bond, and grant them great power, and an even greater connection. Grenheim's king ordered this ritual be immediately put into use, and that anyone elligable for the ritual be found and put through it.

A small training acadamy was built to house and train those with Celestial Bonds, though due its hasty construction, it was nothing more than a bunch of shacks and an open field for combat training. Well, that was how things were one year ago, anyway.

You are part of the second batch of future soldiers to be put through the ritual. A small batch of 18 people, 9 bonds, makes up your entire "class", and each and every one of you have been blessed by the gods. You are the holders of Celestial Gears and Celestial Potential, the legendary group that shall save, or doom Grenheim.

Of course, no self respecting King would allow holy warriors to live in the miserable conditions you were headed for. And so, the King had a nearby noble allow you to stay within his mansion, as well as use his grounds to train.

Lore

Currently unfinished. More will be added soon.



In Depth Information



Everything Explained

This is a pair RP, meaning that your character will be immediately linked and tied to another character, which will be chosen by you!
In any given pair (Celestial Bond) one character will become a Mage, while the other becomes a Knight.
The mage gets a conceptual focus, and a versatile and flexible range of spells, while the Knight gets a powerful weapon (called a Gear) with some sort of ability. We have also included the ability for a sort of "ultimate last resort attack" on the Celestial Gear, though this may be subject to change if we find it unpopular.
The Mage and Knight fight best as a pair, using their skills in tandem to combat any foe. The abilities of any given Celestial Bond should at least slightly thematically call back to the pair's emotional bond (Take whatever creative liberties you want with this. I encourage creativity and enginuity). Any two characters in a Celestial Bond should also synergize in some sense.

In addition to the abilities of Mages and Knights, the Celestial Bond gives the pair a fair greater connection, giving them a sort of mutual telepathy, allowing them to read each others thoughts and feelings, as well as predict and sense their actions. A sort of two acting as one type thing.

In this RP, your characters will be those who have gained the most legendary forms of the Celestial Bonds possible, equiping you with powerful Celestial Gears and Celestial Potentials. Together, you all hold the fate of Grenheim in your hands. Of course, this is not an excuse to be OP, and I will be quite strict with power level, though you are free to go just about anywhere with your powers and abilities.

The RP will start with your characters arriving at the mansion of the currently unnamed noble who has agreed to let you stay at his mansion. Your characters would have just undergone the ritual, and would most likely have yet to test out their abilities.

Also, there will be a big focus on teamwork in this RP, given that your character will be mentally and emotionally linked to their partner, and it is encouraged that you and your partner work together on posts (collaboration posts), as well as your character sheets.

Rules

1. Follow all RPG rules
2. Meta-gaming, powerplaying, and godmodding will not be tolerated to any extent.
3. Romance is perfectly acceptable, but keep rule 4 in mind.
4. Keep the RP PG-13, please. Mature content should be taken to PMs.
5. Please refrain from speed posting, or I will be forced to incorporate a mandatory posting order.
6. Posts must be at least a paragraph in length ( between 5-10 sentences, generally) with good grammar (I can let a few misspelling go, but if your posts are difficult to read due to bad grammar, I will probably ask you to leave.)
7. I usually expect about one post a week, but if something comes up, and you cannot post for some reason, just notify me.
8. Keep fighting out of the OOC.
9. This RP will require commitment, so if you believe you will drop this at some point, don't pick it up.
10. At first, you will have a maximum of one character. If we have less than 18 applications after a period, I will bump this up to two.
11. There will be only 18 character slots, which seems like a lot, because it is. I will not increase this limit for any reason.

Tips

Try to find a partner before working on your character sheet, and then collaborate and share ideas while making your sheets.

Be creative! I'm giving a lot of freedom for your abilities, so feel free to go crazy with concepts, just try to limit yourself to a reasonable power level.

Do some collaborative posts with your partner. I suggest something like titanpad.com

Encorporate your character into the world! Give them views on everything from Grenheim, to the religion followed within its borders. This world is highly religious, so it will be a pretty important aspect.

A note: There is still a bit of information I have to add to this, such as general information about Grenheim and its neighboring nations, as well as some info on Grenheim's religious text, oh and a map if I can get one made. This isn't entirely necessary for CS creation, though, so, I will be adding that stuff over the next few days. Feel free to work on and submit your CSs before then, but make sure you have a partner before submitting your CS.

We should probably work on who's partnering with who. Who's working and a Knight and who's working on a Mage?

Looking for a partner and I'm versatile as to whether I play a mage or a knight. Would anyone be down with partnering with me?

I'll mention the skype chat here, since I have yet to. This RP will have an OOC skype chat to make communication easier. Just add VarionusNW on skype and say something about this rp so i can tell you aren't a spambot.

Also, I am making a knight, and I'm not sure if Cyn is joining this yet, so, if you can't find a different parter, i'm here (unless Cyn gets off of her ass, atleast).

Here we go, almost finished. Just need a partner for the largest man to finish some stuff up. Also, if anyone makes a character over 6'8", Lucius instantly gains height on them.

Heyyy, this looks pretty fun~. I like the idea of linking characters together, it opens up a lot of opportunities for awesome collaboration. Lot's of room for character development as well. I already have a character in mind, if the daggers are still up for the taking. If anyone wants to partner up, let me know~.

I'm planning on making a mage. I had mentioned this in the interest check, but I'm just reposting it here.

I'm thinking of making a mage who specializes in sonic vibrations. Ideally, my knight will have a bludgeon-type Gear (like a bat, 'iron-whip', or kanabo) that vibrates like a tuning fork with adjustable frequency. The Gear can be tuned to the destructive resonant frequency of various materials. My mage could create 'cymatic zones' that amplify the Gear's destructive ability to whatever material the Gear is tuned to as long as the knight stays within the zone, as well as casting other sonic/air-based attack spells, such as sonic air-pressure slashes, sonic booms, vacuums, vertigo-inducing disorienting noise, etc. of course, whoever wants to be my partner, I am open to changes.

Another thought is making a gravity mage, though I haven't put as much thought into this.


Although I suppose instead of the partner weapon I mentioned, my partner knight would probably go with hammer.

of course, this is just a preliminary idea, if you don't like it, I will gladly brainstorm with my partner to come up with something that suits their tastes better, though I think partnering with a knight whose weapon is armor would be super interesting.
