The original government of Velorio. Considered to be 'corrupt' by the rebels. They still control the upper and middle districts of Velorio, though they have lost the poor districts to the Rebel's protests. They all are dressed in the finest cloths, and often brag about their wealth and money, though a handful is more sensible. Their members have a branded tattoo on their arm, in the shape of an owl. They have a small army, called the Enforcers.

These are a ragtag group of militia that often forget their own leader. They stand against the Parliament, and claim that the people should rule. They, of course, have evidence, considering most have been wrongfully convicted, but they brought it upon themselves. They demand that taxes be withdrew. The poor favor them, because of their courage to stand up against the rich. Their numbers are bigger then the Parliament, but then again, the Parliament have an ally. The Rebels have no distinguishing marks, so there is no way to know if they have joined.

Founded by some of the most brilliant men and women in all of the four realms, Velorio is often acclaimed by all sides for its brilliance. Even the poor are intelligent. Of course, not everyone is equal. In this world, intelligence is valued more than brawn or strength, though there are some who are both. Some children play together by doing puzzles.

1. No godmodding. This is common sense, guys. While I won't seriously harm or kill your characters without consent, you can't be freaking invincible to any attack.

2. Ok, please, if some romance gets above PG-13, take it to the PMs, or fade to black.

3. It's allowed to curse like a sailor. I have no problem whatsoever.

4. No characters below, let's say...10. I don't want any four-year-olds to be taking part in a war.

5. Don't make your character find whatever they need to win the fight. Example: Gary found a pile of muskets and fired at the dragon. It dropped a magical sword that couldn't break. If you really need me to, I'll determine what they find.

6. No arguing in the OOC. And if you get mad at someone, don't take it out on their character.

Name: Vanessa Schulz

Age: 32

Gender: Female


Backstory: Vanessa was born in the poor districts of Velorio which were plagued by endless protests of the Rebels. Her life was in constant instability as fights can break out anytime between members of the Parliament and the Rebels. At a young age she dabbled in minor arcane arts in order to protect herself and her parents and found that she was quite proficient in fire-based magic.

Unfortunately during her older teenage years, a huge fight broke out and a gang of Rebels decided to hide out in Vanessa's home, her parents refused them entry and were killed without a second thought. In a fit of rage, Vanessa cast a fire spell which burned the whole gang into crisp. By the time the Enforcers had arrived, instead of asking for help, she demanded she be recruited so she could prevent the Rebels from causing any more harm. To her, they were nothing more than glorified bandits.

During training and countless battles, she proved that she was a capable swordswoman and with her skills in fire magic, gave her an edge in combat. She rose through the ranks quickly and became a captain of the Enforcers by the age of 24. Nearly a decade later, rumors of a war has caught her ear, with the same fiery determination as she had before, she hopes to end the Rebels once and for all.

Weapons: A meteorite sword, given to her as a gift for achieving the rank of captain and fire-based spells (fireball, fire wave, etc.)

Personality: Vanessa tries to stay calm in most situations but can be hotheaded when provoked. She usually avoids fighting if possible and prefers resorting to a mutual agreement, but if a fight is inevitable, she will end it quick and clean. She is also a good strategist, which is one of the reasons why she got the rank of captain so quickly.

Other Info: Vanessa is an expert in close to medium combat. Her meteorite sword is able to conduct her fire spells with ease, by casting a spell on her sword which coats the sword in flame, she is able to project a short wave of fire by slashing her sword.

Name: Étoiles

Age: 14-16 years

Gender: Female

Appearance: http://img-cache.cdn.gaiaonline.com/e4e0a77eba5381e870498a4b7e3e2b12/http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z92/jashie1/Anime%20girls/ss_nurse__february_by_hachiyuki-d3182qt-2-2_zpsf374d283.jpg

Backstory: Ever since the beginning of her lineage, her family has been slaves to those who are more rich and more successful than themselves. They had been shipped off from master to master, every generation having a new lord to serve and listen to. Her mother always told her it would be the same until the last of us just suddenly disappear.

The exact date of Étoiles' birth was unknown, but it seemed to happen more than a decade ago. She was born to a female slave and a male slave, just like her generations before her. Nobody seemed to notice her much; she was quieter than the other slaves or even her siblings. All she cared about was reading and doing her share of work.

That were true, until one of her newly found friends was killed while trying to escape. She became infuriated with the Parliament, thinking they should have let her go for all the work she did. She rebelled and refused to listen to her master, causing her to be whipped and abused for her defiance. One night she was sick of everything and everyone, and ran away from the household.

After that, she joined the Rebels and sought to kill every person that had that owl tattoo. She trained herself in the art of swiftness over accuracy, using many weapons, but deciding on one that she stole from her old master.

Weapons: The Sycthe of Lune, a weapon her master once had in his hands. He has been a retired veteran of the Parliament, and she knew he'd never notice it was gone. It seems lighter than it looks, and glows when blood splatters on it in the moonlight.

Personality: Though at first she seems unemotional, she is actually quite nice and kind to those on the same side as her. She isn't good with conversations but she will try her best to make new friends. During battle she is cold-hearted and cruel, the fighting making her remember the hatred she feels for the Parliament.

Other Info: She will secretly slink around in the shadows of towns or forests, preparing to scare any comrades or traveling caravans, or maybe even ambushing a member of the Parliament.

Name: Gaz Aiza

Age: 22
Gender: Male

Appearance:

Backstory: Gaz grew up in the middle class with his family. He kept up with his studies, trained in swordsmanship with his father, and even found time to get a girlfriend. However, his life changed during a rebel raid to his area. He used the skills his father taught him to keep himself safe, though after the fact he found his girlfriend, killed in the streets. It was at this moment that he went to enlist with the Parliament, got the tattoo and began training even more to defend against the rebels.

Weapons: The sword in his picture, which he has nicknamed "Vampire's Blade" because of the blood he douses it in. As well as a flintlock pistol, though he much more efficient with a blade.
