Whoah... ok. I now have this sudden idea where maybe... I could take a page from N. Korea defectors.
Considering having my Regalia working for your theocratic Templar force to clean up some secrets but eventually she couldn't take it anymore and she went to the other side (Votara). Was almost killed in the escape, but that's when the Dominant came to her.
Again, just spitballing here, open to ideas or reverting to others if you're not into it.
I Couldn't agree more! I was hoping we would have characters who subvert the expectation. Like yes, a big burly man can absolutely transform into a hot bodied Goddess. It's cool lol
Your comment inspired me to dread there will be "Only Regalia" accounts on the net.
On a side note, I am deep into Nibelheim lore. In the middle of a version 2. Just incase anyone was thinking of any connections there so we can align up. I have spoken to Aeolian who said about their character being from there originally, so expanded the mythos!
Short version is Gaelic-Norse inspired with some very old and deep traditions. This has a duality with its capital, which is become like a mini-Hollywood with the commercialisation of the mythology and culture with movies and tv series, bringing around a new way. So Pagan and Neo-Paganism within the land, as it were.

I'm from Sweden, so I look forward to reading this :) I love it when Norse mythology is in media. I was a bit disappointed by how Odin was portrayed in the "God of War" game, but eh, can't have everything.
@Mirandae Really sorry for the sudden 180, but some IRL stuff has come up, and as such I need to back out of this RP. I told rabidbacon they are welcome to use the WIP stuff I provided them as background or NPC material as they see fit, as well

Oh, nothing serious I hope? :( real life comes first, so no worries honey. You're welcome back any time.
P R E S E N C EMihai is known for being a reserved and calm individual among his friends and family. Always able to think with a clear head, even during stressful moments. However, he can be an expressive person, given the situation. More so with friends and family.
Still, despite living a remote community where living there was preferable to the cities. Learning about the world and its history started a curiosity in him, and Mihai wished to learn more about the world and one day explore it. Even though he knows why his family hates the cities and wants to stay far from them. Mihai still wishes to see them first hand, rather then just being told about it and make up his own mind about it. Though a bit cautious in them and the corporations regardless.
Personally, Mihai is like an introvert. He enjoys his time alone with his own thoughts and is normally the one who likes to meditate in his free time. Ever since leaving his hometown, Mihai does not like to draw attention to himself and likes to keep a low profile. However, the one thing that people tend to remember him for is his smile. A soft but warming smile that makes you think that everything is okay. Mihai does know about this and does not try to exploit it, and when it happens, it is always a genuine smile.
Mihai does not like to take advantage of people and likes to be honest with them. However, he still lies about certain things unless he feels he can trust the person. Which Mihai does not take being crossed and can hold a grudge. Which if he has to work or be in a group with that person. He can be cold and be short with them. Still Mihai can forgive someone if he feels they are deserving of it or are sincere about it. Though when Mihai gets angry and he rarely does. It will try to control it and but if things really get him angry, then it will be bad.
While Mihai does not seem like a fighter, he was trained in his hometown on how to fight. Mainly in close-quarters combat with both his fists and melee weapons, as well as some training with firearms. He knows how to handle himself and can keep a level head during a fight. Mihai, since leaving his hometown, only fights when he feels he needs to and is not one to throw himself into a fight. Recklessness and being foolhardy are not things you will associate with him.
C H R O N I C L EMihai was born in a small, remote town in the countryside of his homeland. Far from the sights and influence of the cities and which most have not even heard of. The eldest of three and in a close family. Mihai's life was different from most, given that he had no contact with the outside world for the most part. His parents, along with the rest of the townsfolk, were adamantly against living in the cities, and the town was meant to be their sanctuary from it. Thus, growing up, Mihai did not leave the town and only went as far as his parents would let him.
Growing up while cut off from the outside world does not mean that Mihai did not have an education. He was taught by several of the townsfolk about math, science, english, and all of the normal courses you would get elsewhere. But why would they teach him that while chances are he will not leave the town, you might ask? It is because the townsfolk wanted their children to be educated to at least high school level and develop strong minds. Along with mental training and a strong body, as with his normal courses. Mihai was given physical training to grow his body. It was during a test of his mental and physical strength that he passed with flying colors. He felt like something was watching him, and the next thing he knew, he felt a rush of energy in him. It built up until a red and white aura surrounded him, and he felt someone speaking to him. That someone was Valefor in his true draconic form, and it turns out that Valefour had sensed potential in him and had decided to give Mihai his blessing. Making Mihai his Regalia, and once Valefor disappeared and Mihai returned to normal. Did the townsfolk forever treat him differently, for they knew what this meant and did not want their Regalia to be taken from them and be corrupted by the outside world.
For years, while learning what it meant to be a Regalia and practicing his magic. Along with learning how to fight. The townsfolk made sure that no outsider would learn of Mihal's status and made sure he would not leave town. While he understood why they were doing this. Apparently, it had something to do with the last Valefor Regalia and them losing their way. Mihal hated this, and his hometown now felt like a cage in which only he was trapped. While the townsfolk did not care what he thought, his parents, on the other hand, showed some concern for what was happening to him. Trying to console him, knowing how they felt. But would not act on it and as time went by. Did Mihal want to be free. He would try to transform but was unable to activate it. As Valefor treated it as a test to see how Mihal could get out of this situation without using his powers.
It was on his 24th birthday that his parents and even his younger siblings decided to give him what he wanted the most, freedom. Unknown to Mihal, his family had been planning a way to get him out of town and found their chance to do so. So, under cover of a foggy night, the family smuggled him out of town by van. The last thing he said to them before he left was that he promised he would see them again.
For the last four months, Mihal had been traveling around Eswal and the world, working odd jobs to sustain himself. Seeing the world that his people warned against, and while he did understand some of them. He was just glad he could see the world for himself and live uncaged. Still, Mihal did not expose himself as a Regalia and kept a low profile.
His next stop is the Festival of Lights, and while he expects it to be a fun time. What Mihal would not expect is the coming events and, more importantly, his role in them.
H O M EMihai comes from Eswal but from a small, remote town in the countryside called Cajzia. Located in a remote forested hilly region of Eswal and far from the nearest city. Cajzia is unique in that the town is made up solely of Valefor followers, perhaps the largest congregation of them in the world. It can be hard to get to, more so when it rains, and the roads become muddy, but the town is able to support itself just fine.
Despite the isolated nature of Cajzia, the townsfolk can still connect to the world via the internet and keep up to date on world events. It also seems low-tech and gives off a rustic charm. You can still find modern amenities and vehicles in Cajzia. But nothing fancy. Also, given that the townsfolk are Valefor's followers, there is a temple in the town for him, and it is one of the few, if only one, temple dedicated to him.
The people of Eswal are known for their rich folklore and their commitment to tradition, but not to the point of being not progressive. They find a way to advance forward while clinging to their ways. Along with honoring the founder of the modern nation of Eswal, Count Danus Petri, with various holidays and festivals. Their language and culture is similar to that of Romania, and the people often talk with an accent when speaking in the worldwide language. Mihai is fluent in both and talks with an accent.
T R I V I ALikes: History Exploring Astronomy Stargazing Reading Meditating Quiet Places Fresh Foods
Dislikes: Ignorant people Being caged Being Betrayed
Others: Mihai does not like social media, and the only reason why he has one is to keep in touch with his family. Growing up, he had a telescope and since there was low light pollution where Cajzia is. It made seeing the night sky much better, and sometimes he would just lie down and gaze at the stars. Since he owes his family for leaving Cajzia, Mihai plans on repaying them once he returns to see them again but is still thinking about what that gift will be.
@Mirandae That pictorial cover for Laura is so cute!
@Tlaloc I love the promotional material, but gawd, is Cassiel a mess! Last thing he needs is to see his face plastered on billboards and giant LED monitors.
Now you guys make me want to make some promotional material, but Neon's role is so macabre. I don't know if he'd have any fr fr. UGH!
So, to break the sudden silence here :) Everybody (that I know of) has submitted a character except @TokyoPewPew and @AlteredTundra, which is fine. We have until Sunday. But, when they're all in, we can move forward.
