There are many worlds in the great planes of reality and madness. Many different stories and scenarios bound by a single truth, yet different and unique in their own right. This is but one of those stories. The story of heroes and legends incarnate. . .

The land of Aldmorn is one of peace, wisdom, and the arts. Where lush land with rolling fields of grass provide harvest for all in the western front. Where the ocean sings its song and ice caps provide shelter for both prey and predator near the northern mountains. Where the desert winds billow forward, and only the strong may survive in the southern plains. And where the great forests of crimson and gold cover the lands of the eastern land. Aldmorn is home to a diverse set of creatures and beings who have all gathered to live in unity and prosperity.

The land of Aldmorn is one of growing ingenuity and religious background. The people praise the deity known as the Dyteniteity, a supreme being said to create all and nothing. A being who gave birth to all universes and all realities, as well as the nothingness between each world. And so the people rejoiced, learning new ways to blend the magics of old with the technology of the new. It wasn't perfect, and Aldmorn was still far from a perfect society, but it was a shining example for many to follow in its footsteps.

That was before the time of fear. The time of uncertainty. Years ago, a creature appeared. Something who's existence defied all logic. Something that's very presence ripped time and space asunder. Since the time this creature has been released into the world, Aldmorn had grown into unsettling chaos. Factions on all corners of the land have their own opinions, but all can agree on one thing: the creature, now dubbed Yggdrasil from the old Norse, is a herald of the Dyteniteity. A creature sent down to bring about judgement and the changing of the world. No one has seen its true form, and any who do go mad from its power.

And so our story begins as such. The creature has been spotted heading towards the middle of Aldmorn. Whatever it wants, it lies in the heart of the land. Yggdrasil has now taken physical form, that of a terrible dragon-like creature wielding powers and technology almost alien to the land. You embark on a journey to either slay or attempt to understand Yggdrasil's true motives. In the end, what true secrets lie in wait for you traveler?

*Some Notes to Consider*:
-Technology is abundant in Aldmorn, but not enough to create star fleets. The most advanced thing you'll see in Aldmorn-besides Yggdrasil-are combat drones and some aircraft. Magic however, is unlimited.
-Each region has its own rules and if a character is coming from that region, they must abide by those standards. For example, someone from the Southern Region would be more adept in blistering heat and know more about survival in barren areas.
-There is a Central Region to Aldmorn-the area Yggdrasil is heading-but it is generally considered as sacred territory for the worship of the Dyteniteity.
-North controls ice and water, South controls fire and lightning, West lays dominion over earth and poison, and finally the East bears wind and fear magic. Each class can only focus their skills on one of the two types of magic originating from their area. Technology is available in all regions.
-Priests do have the ability to communicate with the Dyteniteity, but it's up to chance whether or not their prayers are answered or not. Furthermore, there are corrupt priests who use the blessings of the Dyteniteity for their own purposes and false priests who only practice in worship for money and profit. That said, priests are considered as respected authority in the Regions.

Additional ideas for story, characters, etc are widely appreciated.

Personality:

Background:

Notable Skills or Abilities:

Appearance:

Name: Jarrod Smith

Age: 23

Region: Eastern Region

Personality: The childlike mentality Jarrod had as a child is still retained to this day. His nature is so laid back, people often question his skills and, more often than not, end up underestimating him altogether. Jarrod prefers it that way. Despite his intimidating looks, he's a jokester by nature and it is extremely difficult to get him serious about anything. That said, it takes drastic measures to annoy or anger him.

If by some chance, an enemy does indeed get him to take things seriously, a natural and confident calm will overtake Jarrod for the rest of the time until the enemy is no more. Other than that, he's a pretty laid back guy overall. Indeed, many question whether or not Jarrod Smith ever really grew up.

Background: Growing up in the Eastern Regions of Aldmorn, Jarrod spent most of his childhood days forests of his homeland. Carefree and laid back, he didn't learn true responsibility until he was 19. At that time, rumors had begun to spread about the legendary being known only as Yggdrasil, and how it was raining judgement on all throughout Aldmorn. Jarrod's home was one such location of such ruination, and Yggdrasil attacked his home, destroying everything in sight. Among the dead were Jarrod's family, and only a few stragglers and lucky ones survived the ensuing chaos. Blaming Yggdrasil for the lose of his home and family, Jarrod took up his blade and began a long journey in hunting down the creature.

Over the years, he's grown to be quite adept at his family treasure, the sword known as Marionetta. He continues to search for Yggdrasil to this day with the full intent and aim of killing the thing once and for all. He doesn't care if the thing is a potential child of the Dyteniteity, Jarrod will stop at nothing to finally end his quest. That is, if he doesn't get distracted by the millions of other things of interest along the way.

Notable Skills or Abilities: A master of the sword, Jarrod wields his blade, Marionetta, with expert ease and skill. The sword itself contains a small turbine engine hidden in the hilt of the blade. When activated, Jarrod is able to pull strong gusts of wind towards his sword and release the energy into a concentrated attack. Furthermore, Jarrod can propel himself great distances by unleashing this compressed wind behind himself and using the momentum to launch off. As such, his deadly usage of the sword and his speed has made him into a deadly foe. Rumor states that under the right circumstances, he can became fast enough to cut through the wind itself.

ready whenever you are

Alright first post is up. This'll be my only one for now as it's really late where I am. I'll be heading off for the night.

Okay here goes everything.
This character is my experiment and though I know you don’t need to know this its based on one of my friends.

Name: Ananeas “dark mask”

Age: 21

Region: Northern Mountains

Personality: Quiet. Doesn’t say much, but then again doesn’t listen or obey much either. On the outside he looks calm and confidant. On the inside he has self-issues with everything that he can possibly can. He doesn’t say much because he’s scared that if he will people will notice his problems. He doesn’t listen to anyone because he doesn’t want to look like a weakling.

Background: Because his father was a swindler Ananeass whole family lived outside of villages. At the age of twelve someone killed his father. The reason was that ananeass father screwed someone up and stole half of the man’s wealth. After death Ananeas was taken care of by his older brother Serbitar. AS they grew they had to hunt and survive on their own. Because of their father’s name they bought were rejected and hated by most people. In the mountains Ananeas learned how to climb and move around with great agility. Because he spent lots of his time on all fours, crouched down, or slumped, his body suffered deformation. Though because of this deformation, his skill to move around grew unimaginably. When he grew 17 he meet a girl. When he told her he loved her she laughed out loud and said “who in the world would love a freak like you? Look at your brother. He is strong, beautiful, capable and intelligent. Truth to be told I don’t even know why he allows you to stay around him.”
That sentence broke Ananeass heart. After that Ananeas began to have self-issues with everything. He trained more and more… even made his own weapon with which he challenged his brother to a fight, but lost miserably. Though his brother tried to explain to Ananeas that there’s nothing wrong with himn Ananeas didn’t listen, his mind was set, and he continued on his delusional goal to beat his brother in everything. When other noticed this and asked him about it he furiously denied it. Sometime after, his brother left to kill the great terrible legend. After a year Ananeas followed, in hope he will be successful and prove to himself he is better than his brother.To hide his body he wears a large dark cape.

Notable Skills or Abilities: He excels in climbing and basically all kind of movement through mountains and likewise terrain. When equipped with mae sun sawk, hes in a crouched position or on all fours like he would be climbing., he can move on the ground better than a rabbit. He’s fast and can jump large distances and can change direction at any given time into an impossible degree.
Is also quite good with an ancient sling he keeps around his neck as a necklace

Appearance:

Accepted orcpunx

Name: Corvain Ulthreos

Age: 38

Region: Southern Region

Personality: Corvain is a very proud individual, he tends to belittle foes he defeats, or outwits. He is arrogant and straightforward with his speech and mannerisms.

Background: Corvain is the second son to a noble house within one of the few large civilizations within the desert of the southern region. Since coming of age he has been trained by many master's in the art of being a spellblade. To augment his strength and his survivability his father bought him advanced armor, while his swordsmanship was growing at a dramatic pace his spell casting hardly grew at all. It took a lot of time and money for him to learn even the simplest enchanting spells, and combat magics. So he got himself a gun, and learned marksmanship along with his sword-work, his enchanting gave the gun's shots elemental capabilities, ranging from flame, ice and lightning based elements. However these shots normally fizzle out if he tries to use them at longer ranges, so he tends to just not use his magical abilities during battle. Corvain has helped keep the peace around his family's lands until he left to forge his own legend.

Notable Skills or Abilities: can easily survive the harshness of the boiling and rolling sands of the southern region, can scavenge for food better than most. Great mid-long range and decent close range in wide open areas. His marksmanship and sword work are on par with experts and adepts, while his spell casting and enchanting his on par with apprentices at best and maybe even initiates on his bad days. He does not use magic as much as he should, and feels that practicing with his gun and sword are more in line with how he fights.

Appearance:



Maybe done if you think it's good enough.

For future reference, armor is allowed.

Name : Scarlet Alard

Age : 22

Region : South Region

Personality : Scarlet is much like someone you would expect to come from the Southern Region. She's strong willed with a sharp tounge. The last thing she's afraid to do is speak her mind. In fact, she tends to voice her opinion much more than needed. Along with that she's very cocky and, at times, over confident. Scarlet doesn't joke much, unless she's speaking with sarcasm. She also tends to be stubborn and hot-tempered. Some of the smallest things could set her off, but it seems that her temper isn't permenant. Scarlet is never one to hold grudges and usually lets it go fairly quickly afterwards. When it comes down to seriousness, Scarlet is like an off and on switch stuck in the middle. She feels like she has a certain duty but at the same time she never seems to get too caught up in it. Her seriousness usually depends on the situation and even with that said she usually still has some sarcastic remark to make.

Background : She grew up as the only child of a previous thieft and the town's local healer. The harsh conditions proved rather unfavorable for child birth and rearing. So, even though her origins are from within the Southern Region, Scarlet was actually born in one part of the Western Region. Her parents had learned from previous experience that babies were usually unable to survive very long there. They had lost two other children before having her. Each didn't even make it to see their first year of life.

Scarlet lived in the Western Region until she was two years old. Since she was only two, she has little to no recollection of her time spent in the Western Region.

Afterwards, she spent her time living in the Southern Region, quickly adapting to the conditions of the desert. From there, her life was rather simple but since she lived in the Southern Region, it also meant she had to fight to survive. This was especially true when a time of drought would fall over the place. Her first drought occurred when she was 13 years old. Knowing that surviving meant possibly fighting, her father taught her how to properly wield and use a dagger, which explains why she uses it so well now.

Her mother tried to teach her the lessons and art of healing but Scarlet, as a reckless and rebelious teenager, showed no interest and preferred to be practicing her fighting skills rather than learning about how to heal.

When Scarlet was around 19, her mother was pregnant again and it called for a family road trip to the Western Region again. It was there that Scarlet was no longer an only child and now had a baby sister.

When the threat of Yggdrasil was first heard of, Scarlet's family was just beginning to return to the South. They had spent a longer time there than before due to her sister falling ill. But now they had another threat. Since sitting back and watching this threat attack was not on Scarlet's agenda, she left her growing family in order to try and protect them. Of course, the only proper way to do that was by slaying Yggdrasil. Or at least that was Scarlet's plan.

Noteable Skills/Abilities : Scarlet is exceptionally skilled at weilding her daggers. She can do anything from close combat with them to range throwing. She carries two, one for each hand. Both were inherited from her father.... He gave her one and she kind of stole the other one when she headed out on her journey. She has even learned to combine her expertise of daggers with her small knowledge of using lightning to strengthen her attacks.
While she doesn't know much about healing, Scarlet has some knowledge as to how to treat simple wounds and illnesses. But this only applies when using plants and herbs from the Southern Region. Her knowledge doesn't extend past that and may be foggy at times or things can get jumbled around. So it's kind of unrelieable.

Characters can only use one element each ebug, but other than that, accepted. Also, there's no posting order so people feel free to post when you can.

Whoops. Got confused there. x) I'll fix it.
