The world of Lost Empires is very similar to our own. But the key differences come within the history.





Lost Empires Overview I: The Card Game


In Lost Empires you will play as an indidual with access to the conduit-stone's power which allows you to summon the real world magic used by the battle mages in the times of the Mythic Wars. The creatures and weapons used by the mages are reprsented by the Mythic Legends trading cards. They are in very limited supply in the modern time and you will only have access to a small number at the beginning of your journey.

The battle system is very similar to that of the Lost Kingdoms franchise, if youve played that somehwat rare game you will know the basics, but dont worry if you havent as the exact rules of how it will be adapted to this RP will be fully explained here.

The objective of a duel is to use the cards in your deck to fight your opponent until they become defenseless and have to submit. You will actively be on the battlefield summoning monsters and wielding weapons as if it were live combat. Your access to the conduit gives you the abilites of a battle mage. So when in a Mythic Duel you will be able to do things you couldnt in the real world, physically.

Lost Empires Overview II: The Card Types and Elements


There are 4 different types of cards in Mythic Legends and each card can only be used once per battle. You will start off with a Deck of 15 cards, and your deck may hold a maximum of 25 cards, with no card replicas more than x3 with some even less. The 4 types of cards are as follows.





Lost Empires Overview III: Victory and Defeat


A game of Mythic Legends is not to be taken lightly, each game, even friendly exhibition rounds come with a price. Both players must wager something before every battle or the cards wont activate, as to reflect the risky nature of the wars that the mages had in in ancient times. The most common is card wager, the winner wins the card that the loser wages. Depending on the rarity of the card, this could be dissapointing or devastating. There are other important things that can be wagered, but that will be revealed later in the RP

In a Duel, both players start with 100% hitpoints, as they inflict damage on each other the percentage will go down. Only attacks made directly against the other player (including as a transformed creature) will effect hitpoints unless an effect states otherwise. The character who hits 0% first is the loser. A player can also forfiet the match. Another way to lose is to simply run out of useable cards in a match. So you must use your limited supply wisely.

Lost Empires Overview IV: Mythic Rings and BattleMage Profiles


Not everyone in the world can duel, and those who can are only able to duel with others who have the ability. So no one can use their cards on an average person, the conduit stone was built with these safeguards in place. Mythic rings are the equipment which allow people to duel, each ring has a small piece of the conduit stone inside it, and also holds the spirit of an ancient battle mage from the mythic wars.

The mythic rings are not easy to obtain, there are only about 100 or of them in the world, they cannot be destoryed, and they cannot be stolen, the only way to obtain one is to win one wagered in a duel (which you would need a mythic ring in the first place to duel) or to be given one with the original owner verbally handing it over to you.

Battlemage profiles give you a passive boost to your abilites in battle depending on whose spirit youve inherited in your ring. The effects are usually minor, such as a climbing ability or added accuracy with projectiles, but you will gain more effects as you win duels.

@TaroAndSelia

Firstly, I have to express how much I love your idea. I'm also expressing my interest, but had a couple of questions I wanted to ask before finishing up a sheet.
1) How much about the myths/conduit do the players actually know? (I'm thinking of submitting a rather nerdy archaeology buff.)
2) Do you have an overall goal for us? Or is each player harnessing this power for a personal agenda? (Or both; I'm not one to put restrictions on another man's aims.)
3) Do you choose which starter deck we have?

Okay finally to answer your questions!

1) Basically the conduit technology is basically a myth to the public but some very dedicated people have learned bits and pieces about the magic properties but are seen as conspiracy theorists.

2) A plot will reveal itself but for now the players are motivated by collecting cards and using their newfound abilites in this exciting game.

3) You are able to choose from the available decks but 2 have been already taken

@Ryougu@rawkhawk64
Okay I'm going to repost your characters in this thread with the same characters and cards from the beta test you can add pictures to the character profiles and change info about the characters before re-posting them in the Character tabs but the cards and battlemage ring and profile must remain the same.

@Bishop No the decks are pre made, but as you gain more cards you can add more and customize.

Name:
Kilo Nanoya
Age: 24
Profession: IT/Computer Programmer [freelance]
Nationality: American
Personality:
Analytical and strategic, Kilo likes to think things out before taking any sort of action. He is not much of a people person, mostly due to his Asperger's Syndrome. However, he will make fast friends with anyone who shares his interests (computers, video games, and TCGs). He also tends to be a bit of a cynic, and always has a witty sarcastic remark and a pun in reserve.
Interest In Trading Card Games:
Kilo discovered TCGs when he was in elementary school, and has been avidly playing them since. He has at least one deck for every popular TCG, and has quite a few obscure TCGs as well. He recently discovered Lost Empires, and has yet to actually study the game in-depth.
Bio:
Kilo was born in a small town in the United States, and had a fairly normal childhood... well, as normal as one can expect with a kid who has Asperger's Syndrome. Despite being very intelligent, Kilo was always very lazy during school. This resulting in him having average grades, even though his teachers knew he was very bright. In fact, several of his teachers tried to find ways to get him more interested in his school work, although only one ever succeeded. His foreign languages instructor found out about Kilo's love of TCGs, and would regularly work lessons into games. After graduating with a Bachelor's in IT, Kilo now works as a freelance IT Specialist and computer programmer, building up a portfolio for when he decides to get a regular job with a company.

Name: Ronald "Ronnie" Baudet
Age: 23
Profession: Photographer
Nationality: France

Personality:

Ronnie is a bold young man with passion in his heart. He often takes some risky actions just to get a better angle for his pictures. When he's disinterested however, he barely moves at all. And while he is usually a very social and peaceful person, he's not afraid to fight if he feels someone has seriously slighted him.

Interest In Trading Card Games:
Ronnie's best friend introduced him to card games when he was 12, he and his friend eventually made some new friends, a dedicated circle of card gamers. Since then he has played all kinds of card games, and he has become a notorious poker-player. When he heard of this game, he knew he simply had to try.

Bio:
Growing up, Ronnie was a dead-set average kid. Grades, looks, everything, dead average. There was one thing he always excelled at; photography. He had a knack for finding the best views, though in the beginning his pictures were rather blurry. As he grew older and got into card games, he once more found himself a dead-average player.

When he had become objectively superior to his old crew, he just couldn't seem to get better in his new crew. With a few all-nighters of mixed learning about several forms of strategy, tricks for photography and his college studies, he finally broke away from his losing streak. Since then he had a second dream. Not only did he wish to take the most beautiful picture there'd ever be, he also dedicated himself to dominating any card game he played.

Character Sheet


Name: Adam Meyers
Age: 24
Profession: Student Teacher (History)
Nationality: United States

Personality: Obsessive (though he would rather call it passionate). Primarily about history, myth, and legend. He still hasn't figured out the whole "how to court a woman" or even a basic level of "how to treat a girl," so he still has never had a significant other--just a few dates that went... very poorly. When he's not distracted with old architecture or new historical finds, he can be pretty nice. Helpful even. But his thoughts tend to always be somewhere else, even when you're talking to him.

Interest In Trading Card Games: It's a game about the old legends he's so fond of teaching. He had to jump in.

Bio: He was the nerd in high school. Adam accepted that a long time ago. He rocked it, too; 4.0 GPA, even in P.E. (not every nerd has to be out of shape; do you realize how much work it takes to be part of an archaeological dig? Or to tour Rome? Or to bike to work because he can't afford a car?) After high school, Adam went right on into college to study history further, and he soon arrived at the conclusion that he wanted to teach history. Preparing his classes to that end, he is just wrapping up his Master's Degree so he can be a full-time teacher. In the meantime, he works as a student teacher at the university for the lower-level history classes: American history, the Renaissance, ancient Egypt, the Orient. The older it is, the more Adam likes it (and yes, it can be painful at times to live in such a young country).

@TaroAndSelia your picture link is broken, but everything else looks fine, and Pride and steel is yours!

Please choose a colour for your ring, that will determine your battlemage profile
