-=The Land of Hitor=-







-=Areas of Note=-









-=Soul Stones=-
The source of life in all things. Each living creature has a soul stone within their body, it grows with them and is a testament to their power. Soul Stones are valuable and useful as they carry the life essence of a creature. Once extracted a Soul Stone can be used in many ways. One use is for power, Soul stones literally fuel the Empire as they are used as a fuel source in the Empires Magics. Everything from Cooking and Lighting to the Empire's flying warships run off of Soul Stones. Another use of the Soul Stone is Magic, When used correctly a Soul Stone can be used to tap into to increase ones own magical power.

Humans have Soul Stones as well and if properly cultivated allows for Humans to use magic tapping into their own power. And although humans have Soul Stones it is forbidden to extract the Soul Stone of a Human, but that doesn't mean it isn't done. Human Soul Stones are used in Dark Magic rituals for various purposes and in some rural civilizations The Soul Stone is removed from the Corpse of the fallen as a keepsake for the family.

-=Magic=-
Humans and Creatures use magic by tapping into Soul Stones. Some tap into their own Soul Stone to produce the magical effects, while others draw power from relics socketed with refined Beast Soul Stones. And there are some who use Soul Stones in other ways, But all magic in the world comes from a Soul Stone in some way or form.

Magic that is produced for everyday life is generated by magic foundries that break down spirit stones into raw magic and then distribute it as needed.

Magic used for combat can either be a much simpler or complex matter entirely. The simple path is the refinement of Beast souls, A beast itself will have a natural affinity that will allow the mage to tap into that element to cast spells (Example Fire Dragon = fire Element, Bear = nature, Frost Giant = Ice ECT.). While those who tap into their own Soul Stone must either find out their own natural element, or attempt to alter their element though extreme conditioning and focus, Both options being harder than it sounds. A Relic user has the ease of knowing what they can cast because of the Souls in the Relic, but they don't exactly know the limit of the Soul in their relic. If pushed beyond its limits the Soul can shatter and cause a backlash, But as long as you don't push it beyond its limits the Soul will replenish itself when not in use. Mages who use their own Soul Stone must go through a difficult process to learn their Soul Affinity, but once that is known it is much easier to know your own limits and ensure you don't end up killing yourself in a backlash.

-=Combat Rules=-

Combat will be separated into two parts Free Form and "Boss Battle" each having their own rules.

Free Form - A simple form of combat, The GM (in case its a side arc I don't control) will send out a mass of enemies each player will then have a go at taking them out. This section will be all on the participants and I will allow you to control both your character and the NPC enemies. You will be allowed to kill at will, but please remember you are not alone, If there are 10 enemies and 5 players I don't want one person claiming 5 of the enemies. Colab posts are acceptable in this phase of combat, but please don't have the group waiting two weeks for one Colab post.



Boss Battle - The more advanced combat that will play out post to post. Boss battles will mainly be group fights or will be in place if a Player vs Player fight. It will be more turn based as in one player states its action then the next will post his reaction and counter/followup to the previous actions. During this type of combat there will be no auto hits or auto kills.



-=Character Sheets=-

Character Sheets are to be placed in the OOC until they are accepted then moved to the Characters Page.

All characters will start out as either Empire Soldiers, Irregular Troops, or Militia called to defend the front

Name: Arden Vale
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Appearance:

Bio:
Born into a wealthy family line, Arden inherited great wealth at a very early age. After his families sudden and mysterious disappearance. With no siblings or other known relations he was considered the last of his families name. Estates, servants farmlands and small businesses all fell to him.
Not a single painting was ever done of his parents which for a noble couple is quite unheard of. Arden holds only blurry faint memories of their appearance and trusts in the words of those that served them.
Despite the heavy responsibilities they bestowed upon him, Arden was raised well in fine luxury by his servants who spoilt him. They did their best to tutor him in the affairs of business and finance but between their bias interest and his inexperience it slowly began to crumble.

Over the years as he grew, to no fault other than misfortunate and inexperience, his finances dwindled. Shortly after much of the inheritance was lost, through deceit and trickery he was duped out of the quickly dwindling resources before he could bring complete ruin to his families estate, which all the servants were eager to readily claim. Without realisation he suddenly became legally a boarder in his own home with nothing left to his name.

Things grew dark and quickly. Greed got the better of many of the once kind servers. Hostilities flared amongst themselves as a deep selfishness festered and grew within each and every one. Turning against one another the air was full of spite and backstabbing, theft and ransacking, and eventually murder. Arden's safe world came crashing down.

It was the kindest of them, the very servants who raised and betray him, that convinced him to join the Blood Rose Irregulars. Arming him with the fodder found from his parents collection he was gifted with a weapon, some armour, an old blank magic book and a small pouch of coins, all in aid to hasten his departure. It was no longer a safe place for him to stay.
Very little was known of the history of these seemingly unused ornamental impulse buys or their true worth and value.

Arden set out in haste. He had never been out in the world on his own. When the estate had been in his name there was always a great deal of fuss and protection over his safety. He had thought it was because they cared, now he knew better. The world could be a cruel place and the coins didn't get him far enough. He was eventually mugged for his remaining possessions, left only with his tattered old, seemingly worthless empty book. It was then it spoke to him. It is unknown what awoken the tome, maybe time, Arden's helpless desperation, or perhaps the blood that trickled down his trembling hand. Irregardless, it's pages whispered to him the secrets to summon an imp. In the fall of night, a beaten and hungry beggar boy completed the summoning and took back his possessions from the corpses of the unprepared sleeping muggers.

He felt no guilt that day and continued on his journey. Keeping secret the events of that night. Soon he would be at the mercenary guild.

Fighting Style: Clumsy flailing, frantic desperation and blind hope. Inexperienced and untrained he is guided through combat purely by a degree of luck, intuition, reflexes and determination.

Equipment: Fine outfit and light armour. Sturdy ornate sword. Pet owl and an old magic tome.

The spell book appears empty to anyone other than a Vale. Even then only when they concentrate will the book reveal to them what it chooses to, which isn't always what the user was after. Hidden beneath the tough leather exterior, soul stones of unknown origin are imbedded firmly into the spine of the book.

These are not normal or simple spells that it holds but complex rituals that require dedication, resources, time and focus.

Hidden Spells
Summon imp
Create flame


Skills/Abilities: An unnatural ability to spot, read and understand hidden, old and magical writings or languages.
Able to cast dark magic from his ancient family tome.

Other Information: Unbeknown to Arden and most others, his lineage is long tainted with clandestine dealings both in hunting and worshiping dark spirits. Which side of this his parents fell on is unknown but is related to their abrupt and sudden disappearance.

Name: Volux

Gender: Male

Age: 27

Appearence:
https://i.pinimg.com/736x/0a/e1/23/0ae123e42cf03cfef477a1a73ebc1190--karla-ortiz-character-concept.jpg

Biography:
Few settlements dared stay far to the north. Threats coming from both the Shadowland and from the Silent Forest itself had forced many settlements to be left in ruins as its occupants fled farther south towards the Empire or had been put 6 feet beneath the ground. Volux manged to survive in these harsh conditions, but only through the diligence of those around him and the training afforded to every youth as the community struggled to survive. As the son of the village healer Volux was expected to (and very gladly accepted) training in medicine and over time worked with his mother and siblings as a herbalist; treating the ill and injured on the behalf of the village.

As the most adept at physical combat, it soon became clear that he would be the one to go out foraging with the Militiamen hunting both game and picking medicinal herbs. Often these trips would last several days as the team set up camp in abandoned buildings that had long ago crumbled past being liveable but they were good enough for the purpose they now served. Along with what herbs to use to heal, Volux learnt what herbs and barks would kill and incapacitate, an anti-medicine if you will. Every excursion lead to his stockpile of toxins growing larger.

However, like many villages to the north, their time eventually ran out when it was attacked during the night. Most of the villagers survived, however all were seriously shaken by the ordeal and the councill decided that the time had come, their community was to move farther south. Away from the Elves and the Silent Forest and even farther from the Shadowlands. Days later the village was empty,  everything that couldnt be taken with them left behind. Volux had decided he was leaving, he had been chased out of his home by terrible creatures and he was going to ensure that others were not given the same fate. Once the village had been re-established closer to the Empire he left, seeking to join the mercenary band called the 'Bloodrose Irregulars' and eventually apprenticed himself to Gwendolyn who over time taught him the magic way of healing however he reserved this as a last resort for when traditional medicine had no effect or was too slow. He cares little for the gold he earns from his jobs, but more about ending the suffering of those around him.

Fighting Style:
Despite being first and foremost a herbalist, Volux has no hesitation to jumping right into the frey of combat. He is a general all rounder combat wise, managing to handle most traditional weapon reasonably well, however he is by no means an expert in any of them. His most advanced however is the common sword which he either weilds alone or with a parrying dagger in his offhand.

Equipment:
A simple rapier, parrying dagger, light leather to no armour, Emerald green cloak, medicinal herbs, toxins and a small handful of Soul Gems.

Skills/Abilities:
•Healing, both through traditional herbal medicine and a limited (but growing) knowledge of magic.

•Identifying of plants and knowing what medicines and poisons can be derived from them.

•Production of poisons.

Other: Rule 7

@Dark Light So I only have two issues with your character as is. First issue is that he doesn't exactly meet the character requirements with your Bio being two paragraphs instead of three, I would like to see more into his backstory and a bit more behind his character and personality before giving it the full go ahead. Second is the age, I get that he is a complete rookie here and all, but even then I would like to say 18 as the minimum age.

Other than those two issues I would say the character looks fine, although I would definitely say that he joins the Irregulars after the event that will start the rp and will take up the first post of the current members.

@MojaveCourier I'll say he looks good, I'll accept please move the character to the character's tab

@Cherrywitch As stated earlier I really like the character's idea and I'm glad you didn't go with a Frankenstein's Monster route with her. All and all I don't know how much I like the idea of a full non-combatant, But it goes with the character's premise so that's fine. But there is one thing missing from the CS (check the rules). After checking that I don't think I see much to reject. Also love the dress that has been edited and such.

Do you have an intended age for sera's soul? (Not the created body)
Was wondering if you were perhaps interested in linking back stories. (Not that either character would know.)

So since it seems no one else will bite I'll ask. Would someone be willing to take on a second character that will be pretty important to the story? If anyone is interested send me a pm and I'll give you the information. Either way I'll try to get this started on Wednesday

@stoneString yes you would still be in time. So you covered the biggest issue i normally have with bare knuckle brawlers which is nice. I do have one question that might be an issue. In the bio you mention being a loner and not really talking. Is that still part of your personality or would you have "grown out of" that tendency. Because from experience it's kinda annoying to try and to with a character who just grunts at you when you try and talk

Name: Xia Sanada
Gender: Female
Age: 22
Appearance:

Bio:
Daughter to the prolific ex empire military captain Jing Sanada, Xia has forever lived in his shadow, to other people and even him. As one of his younger children and a female, she has had trouble grabbing his attention and or affection. Most of her support has come from those close to her father instead of the man himself as he always finds himself busy with a new mission or adventure.
For the shy quiet Xia who is seldom ever heard when in the company of her father, actions speak louder than words. She forced her way into the blood rose irregulars as soon as she could fight and has sought glory and reputation ever since.

Fighting Style: Fast and fierce. Long reach weapons. Disabling attacks. Cunning. Takes advantage of any favours. Trips and disarms.

Desperate to be noticed and make a name for herself she goes into battle with everything she's got. Trained and mentored by some of the best her skills are exceptional but her insecurities cause her to always leave an exit strategy.

Equipment: A ninja's arsenal.
Blow dart
Shuriken
Caltrops
Smoke bomb
Metsubushi
Clawed climbing gloves
Rope dart
ko-naginata
niuweidao

Skills/Abilities: Besides nimble combat Xia had a child hood that went mostly unnoticed by many. What once she cursed she later turned into a skill and now has an uncanny ability to disappear in plain sight and be forgotten or passed unnoticed.
