Are you still accepting new players? I was thinking of maybe playing a Pradian blacksmith who was captured from Pradus and sent with the garrison to make and maintain their arms and armour. Maybe even have him in prison for sabotage after delivering a faulty batch or something.

I dig that idea. Go for it. :)

So far i have three ideas. A witch (magic user that was never aligned to Yulia and probably chased by the inquisition or imprisoned for refusing to bow). A disgraced crusader from Miriand. Or a traitor Yulian who has decided to side with the underdogs.

Hmmm what to do...

<Snipped quote by AtomicNut>

Any of those could potentially work out well, though one has to wonder how to imprison a mage... I'd assume however it is it's probably unpleasant.

@VitoftheVoid

Are magic runes a thing in this world? Because if so all we have to do slap some disruption ones on a pair of shackles and boom. We good.

Helena Crawford [+]

Full Name: Helena Crawford

Nicknames/Aliases: Anything is okay with her, though she doesn't have any specific nicknames at the moment.

Age: 22

Gender: Female

Occupation/Class: Blacksmith/Fighter

Kingdom of Origin: Yulia, but currently lives in Pradus (See backstory)

Description: Helena is well-built, standing at 5'4" weighing about 135 pounds. She's one of those people who don't look too strong until they flex or exercise. She has deep brown eyes that go dark in the center and lighter around the edges. She has dark brown, wavy hair which is many times worn down unless working or training.

Equipment: Generic smithing equipment, a one-handed sword she crafted, an iron shield, and leather armor, though she doesn't tend to carry these around. Probably has a small knife with her on all times, but doesn't want to use it unless needed.

Personality: Helena is a pretty friendly person. She's not afraid to start a conversation with a stranger. She really enjoys talking to people and making new friends. Overall, she's the kind of person who would give you the last of her money if you're hungry, even if she's hungry too. She has a lot of confidence in herself, but doesn't like to show off, unless being silly. She's also very stubborn and doesn't usually compromise easily. If you know which buttons to push she can get angry very easily, but usually won't get violent unless physically provoked.

Skills: She's an apprentice in smithing and can craft most common blades and is now focusing on learning more advanced blades. She is a skilled fist and sword fighter.

Weaknesses: She has a "bleeding heart." If an enemy begs for mercy, most likely she will show mercy, and even help them out with wounds depending on the situation.

Fatal Flaw: She has 0 knowledge of magic wielding and would have extreme trouble trying to defend against it. (Though not too sure how the magic works in this thread. XD)

[Brief History: It needs smoothing out- a lot-, but Helena's father, Warren, was a citizen of Pradus, and her mother, Katherine of Yulia. Warren was a simple mine worker while Katherine a powerful mage. Immediately, once the two first met, they vowed themselves to each other. The two met as often as they could, wanting to keep the meetings a secret because of the tensions. Soon, Katherine became pregnant. Although she couldn't quit her training in magic, she reduced it, as the physical consequences could cause her the loss of her unborn child. During this pregnancy, and due to the tensions between Yulia and Pradus, the couple agreed it would be safer to wait a while before seeing each other again. The problem was the custody of the unborn child. Both parents wanted to keep the child, but they couldn't settle a solution happily. Finally, Katherine gave birth, not to one, but to two daughters. Immediately she informed Warren. The two finally found a solution to their problem. One child would be given to each parent. So, Katherine chose Helena to go with Warren and live in Pradus. Her fraternal twin, Diane, remained in Yulia. Since this, Warren and Katherine lost touch. Despite this, both parents have informed the children about each other, though they have never met.

Because of the hard work in the mines, Warren died. Helena now owns the small house he once did (not sure if this is okay with the lore) and is an apprentice under one of the many blacksmiths. Through the years she has been trained in the art of the sword and hand-to-hand combat in case of a full-scaled revolution. When she can, she practices both techniques, making her well-rounded fighter.

Due to the death of her father and the overall harsh conditions put upon the citizens of Pradus, Helena is considering joining the rebel groups.

Other: She knows Diane's name, but if she were walking down the street and crossed her, she would have no way to recognize her as her twin as they aren't identical.

Diane Dawson [+]

Full Name: Diane Dawson

Nicknames/Aliases: Her mother occasionally calls her Di, but she prefers Diana for anyone else.

Age: 22

Gender: Female

Occupation/Class: Mage

Kingdom of Origin: Yulia

Description: Diane is very thin, standing at 5'5" weighing about 115 pounds. She has very dark brown eyes with even darker flecks near the pupils. She has dark brown, wavy hair which she prefers to wear down than tying up. She wears flowing clothes because she feels she can use magic better that way.
Equipment: Honestly, I'm not sure what kind of equipment a mage should have. She does have many books of spells and techniques.

Personality: Diane is a pretty quiet person and prefers to listen to someone talk over talking. At first she'll seem shy, but it's because she likes learning who someone is before opening up. She loves listening to others to learn who they are and will keep her talking not too personal. Once she does open up to someone, they will learn she can be hard to keep quiet.

Skills: I'm not exactly sure how the magic works, but she's still an apprentice. Though she is powerful, she is still learning a lot.

Weaknesses: She majorly lacks in physical strength. Although a strong apprentice, she isn't a master and that could be a problem.

Fatal Flaw: Diane has very little hand-to-hand combat training, so if someone runs up and punches her before she can cast a spell, she's done for.

Brief History: It needs smoothing out- a lot-, but Diane's father, Warren, was a citizen of Pradus, and her mother, Katherine of Yulia. Warren was a simple mine worker while Katherine a powerful mage. Immediately, once the two first met, they vowed themselves to each other. The two met as often as they could, wanting to keep the meetings a secret because of the tensions. Soon, Katherine became pregnant. Although she couldn't quit her training in magic, she reduced it, as the physical consequences could cause her the loss of her unborn child. During this pregnancy, and due to the tensions between Yulia and Pradus, the couple agreed it would be safer to wait a while before seeing each other again. The problem was the custody of the unborn child. Both parents wanted to keep the child, but they couldn't settle a solution happily. Finally, Katherine gave birth, not to one, but to two daughters. Immediately she informed Warren. The two finally found a solution to their problem. One child would be given to each parent. So, Katherine chose Helena to go with Warren and live in Pradus. Her fraternal twin, Diane, remained in Yulia. Since this, Warren and Katherine lost touch. Despite this, both parents have informed the children about each other, though they have never met.

So, Katherine taught Diane many elements of magic from a very young age. This led to Diane being very proficient in magic. Currently, she has switched teachers as both her and her mother thought it would be more beneficial. Diane has not seen her mother in a little over a year, but does exchange letters with her.

Other: She knows Helena's name, but if she were walking down the street and crossed her, she would have no way to recognize her as her twin as they aren't identical.

<Snipped quote by 1Hawkeyes>

@VitoftheVoid Was I accepted? XD

Okay here's my idea. This is sort of a nomadic faction of magic users. They are called Ravenites because they are descendants of the followers of the Crow Queen, a semi-legendary villain in Yulian history who rebelled against the customs long ago and was subsequently exiled. Ravenites are fundamentally animist. They worship Gods and forest spirits, and usually dedicate themselves to the study of the mysteries of the world and magic. Unlike legitimate Yulians, they do not discriminate genders. Talented users are called either Witches or Warlocks, depending on the gender. In recent history their numbers have dwindled because the lands and roads becoming inhabitable as well as several high-profile Ravenites siding with Miriand, Pradus and Alessa as magically-capable auxiliary forces. Ravenites are hunted by the Inquisition actively.

Liliwen [+]

Full Name: Liliwen

Nicknames/Aliases:Sparrow

Age:20

Gender:Female

Occupation/Class: Ravenite Witch

Kingdom of Origin:Nomadic (Yulian exiles).

Description: Liliwen is rather slim and average heighted woman with a thin waist and shapely hips. She posseses waist-long chestnut hair, fair skin and haunting golden eyes. Liliwen usually is demure in her manners and gentle in her voice, although her angered stare is quite penetrant. During her stay in prison, part of her usual beatiful frames have been wasting away under the roughness of her caretakers, although she hasn't been excessively marred.
Equipment: Prison Rags

Personality: Liliwen is a bleeding heart. She is extremely empathic towards the suffering and ailments of others, and usually interrupts whatever she is doing to help someone in need. Her attitude is fairly straightforward and serious, although she often relishes in naive pleasures such as sweet foodstuffs or playing with cute creatures. Calm in her demeanor, she rarely feels the need to exert ill will on other people. However, Liliwen is still a disciple of the Crow Queen and a Witch in her own, and as such she has an untamed desire to experiment and conquer the mysteries of universe, as well as an iron-bound ethic of "Live and let live". She is openly worried about the state of the world, and wishe that Yulia and others just stopped fighting and tried to work together to stop the rot of the world and survive.

Skills:
Magic: As a Witch, Liliwen is quite adept at recreating spells with mystical energies. Ravenites are often specialized in supporting enchantments as well as utility magic, but Liliwen has also a good array of offensive elemental spells. Most of her magic is often nature themed, however. Holding the title of Witch to signify her good proficience, she can hold her own in combat against battle-mages if need be.
Attunement: Having spent her entire life trying to unravel the mysteries of life and becoming one with with the world, Liliwen is often sensible to the subtle changes in atmosphere that many humans can't perceive. She has a sixth sense that may sometimes predict when an area is becoming too dangerous, as well as noticing nearby magic being cast nearby.
Scholar: Liliwen is versed in many subjects of study, as well as the hidden History of the world. She can assimilate complicated intellectual matters and books rather easily, as well as knowing snippets of other languages.
Quarterstaff training: Like all nomads, she can use a staff to defend herself.
Weaknesses:(Achilles' Heels that can be exploited by enemies.)
Magic Drain: Magic is not a toy. It has tons of drawbacks. And any magic user has to suffer the price for it.
Attunement Backslash: If the area is too dangerous or diseased, Liliwen can even become sick or impaired.
Ravenite Reputation: The Ravenites of Yulia do not have a good reputation anywhere. Pursued by the Inquisition and reviled as heretics, people would rather flee than associate themselves with them.
Fatal Flaw:
Naive: Liliwen cannot but see the inherent good on people. This has bitten her in the back quite a few times.

[Brief History:
Liliwen was born as a nomad, an exile of the followers of the Crow Queen, the ravenites. Political exiles from Yulia, their pursuit of the arcane arts and open nature was subject to persecution and hostigating from the kingdom. The situation deteriorated when their former nation invaded other three and made things untenable. The Ravenites were forced to go to war for survival, the habitable lands diminishing and the Inquisition encroaching. Liliwen bitterly remembers to this day how her father, a prodigious warlock, never came back from that war, having being slaing by battlemages.

But, violence would only breed violence. With a sad heart, the young magic user dedicated to her tasks, developing her arts and going from country to country, the Inquisition always on their heels. Even so she persevered, her talents recognized by her peers by bestowing her the title of Witch at age 17, one of the youngest ever made. Life was hard, but it was bearable. She even managed to enjoy the pleasures of having a boyfriend.

Until he ratted her out to the Inquisition. Liliwen... was furious. Lightning and fire was exchanged, but no one died in the end as the enraged Witch soon collapsed into tears, and gave in before hurting someone. Imprisoned by the Inquisition, she now awaits execution...
