We live in troubled times. Or at least the people in this world do, I do not know the details, but many gates to other worlds have been openeing up around the country. I have seen men, women, and creatures that do not belong in this universe, technology that we should not yet have acess to, and all manner of conflicts we have no part of being invested in. I study in the Chronos academy just outside our great city and my work is in danger, there are some more religious types who believe my studies are wicked and unnatural, but I argue this is already the reality we are in.My funding and recources have been all but cut off. But I've been able to summon all of you here, from different times and worlds. To undo this chaos in our land, and maybe one day return to your own. You did not ask for this, but now that you are here......what else can you do? I expect good things from you...warriors.
-Artemis James II
This is a historical/fantasy RP about a group of individuals plucked from different countries and times in history to undo the chaos of what is a fractured realm. You will be assuming the roles of great historical warriors and will be working as group to overcome the many challenges of this strange land. I have detailed a few of the roles you may take but here is the current list, they are on a first come first serve basis, seen below. I will cross each one out as it gets reserved so please choose wisely and quickly. I may also add more depending on the amount of interest shown.
The feats of the Ninja are mostly legend, but in this realm your mythical skills will become reality. The skill with the katanna, the accuracy with the kunai, the smokebombs, grappling hooks and poisions are all extentions of yourself. In the crossrealm you will be the operative, the spy. The silent killer from the shadows. Feared by many but only witness by few. Although your ability in direct combat is indeed fierce you may want to scout an area ahead, and let your more battle hardy teammates take the brunt of the action as you are not fully armored and can be overwhelemed. Your shadow is no longer one of solitude.
Time Period: 1600s Japan
Skills:
Lockpicking-Can pick almost any lock, some take longer than others.
Espionage- Can infiltrate and spy silently, also able to steal if needed. Stealth ability is second to none.
Urban Acrobat- Is capable of wall running, climing, balancing, and generally traversing city enviroments like an expert at parkour.
Super Power: Ghost Hand
This power can only be used once a day, and only lasts a couple of seconds, but the ninja is able to 'phase' his or her body through solid material, this inculdes walls, the ground and even other bodies. This ability is dangerous as the ninja will be killed if they 'phase in' when they are in a solid material that is harder than they are, like a rock, and will be crushed to death.
The Empire is in it's twighlight, the once all consuming nation is under threat and the gods seem to have turned away from their people. But the might of Rome was built on the backs of its influential leadership and deadly fighting ability. This is personified in the famous legionary, the perfect soldier. Disciplined, assertive and fearless, this warrior employs some of the most effective combat tactics on the battlefield and is perhaps the most well trained out of all the cross-realm warriors. Inelligence, Leadership and Strategy are the themes of this proud captian. Be ready to make split second decisions and long term estimations about the best step forward. Remember, you must earn your team's respect, not demand it.
Time Period: Rome 800 AD
Skills:
High End Armor-Has some of the most wonderfully crafted roman armor, which allows a lot of protection and mobility.

Super Power: Rallying Cry
This power can only be used once a day, and is the legionary's 'buff' skill. The voice and tone of this powerful commander will have a magical effect on not only his own but his team's spirit and for a full minuite they will become stronger, faster and will have a superhuman amount of energy to fight a lot harder and hold their own against more powerful outmatched opponents. There is also a 'cooloff' period where after the effect leaves, the team becomes sluggish and weaker for a few seconds before returning to normal.

The barehanded fighter represents the true origin of the warrior, he or she who only has their own body to wage battle with. Just like the many wild creatures that co-exist on the planet, they are very in tune with their own bodies and put everything on the line with every encounter. Nowhere is this more apparent in the martial artist, who has honed a wide range of techniques and skills to turn their hands and feet into deadly weapons.

Skills:
Brave the Elements: Vikings travel the world and fight in all conditions all over the globe.

Anything nature has to throw at the Viking, he/she will be well prepared for.
Worldy Scholar Being very well traveled has allowed the Viking understanding of a lot of ancient symbols and runes from awound the world. This includes forgotten history and dead languages that the Viking will have at least a basic understanding of. They also have the widest understanding of foreign cultures and are able to pick up on specific customs very quickly.
Savage Infamy-The Viking inspires fear among normal people and even dangerous enemy's spirit and resolve will be tested in the presence of the Viking Warrior.

Super Power: Nordic Beserker
The Viking can activate this superpower once a day, for 2 whole minutes the Viking works themselves up into a vicious frenzy which triples their strength, stamina and speed to superhuman levels.

No Master, No Restraint, No Limits.
The Ronin are similar to the famous samurai warriors yet the swear alliegence to no shogunate or clan. They are free people with the skills to make their own way in the world. Deadly skilled with the Katanna, but unlike the strict Samurai, they can be creative with their weapons, also using the Longbow and the Naginata when needed. The ronin are feared and misunderstood as ruthless mercenaries, but in the cross realm, their true intentions will be known, for better or worse.
Time Period: Japan 15th century
Skills:
For Want Of Coin: Ronin literally selling their fighting skills on a regular basis to whoever can afford it. So they understand money, and they understand their worth. Ronin are some of the most excellent merchants and marketers and are able to buy at low prices and sell at high prices, with an uncanny ability to estimate the valure for something and know exactly what to trade for it.
Supremely Sharp Ronin have the most expertly crafted swords in the world, they are extremely sharp and wielded to precision, they have been know to cut through weaker armor like tissue, and even through thick trees and bricks.
DemonologyRonin are often thought to be demonic in nature, so its only natural that they would have an understanding of the hellish underworld and those who inhabit it. This includes the ability to analyse and recognise any demon and understand it's behaviour and possible weaknesses.
Super Power: The Duel
A very specific super power which can be used once a day. When facing another group, the Ronin can issue a direct challenge to the leader of that group to a 1 on 1 duel. If the Ronin is able to win this duel, the entire group will flee out of respect and fear. This super power can work against a squadron, or a small army. The downside is that the power will only work if the duel is fought 1-1 and honorably. Even in the face of death there can be no intervention.
