Ah, so, we are here again... The world, once chained by tyrannical gods, whom killed and slaughtered any mortals who dared to resist their rule, their power... Are gone. Banished by the Queen of Renalta, Kouri, and those who stood with her against those who would stop mortal men from having true liberty and independence over their own lives.

Now, this dream stands upon the precipice of destruction... For in removing the Heavens, and the Gods, there came a new threat. One that was once repressed significantly, now slowly awakening and spreading out its corrupting tendrils. The Nine Hells have begun to mobilize. Their agents--succubi, cultists, the insane and deranged--now aim to bring the world freed from tyranny into total anarchy and chaos. They aim to kill and destroy every single thing the mortal realm ever was, is, or ever will be.

Yet, before the Queen could return to rebuild her kingdom, already, the world had begun to fall into war. The once proud and united religious nation of Rheinfeld is now split between three factions all vying for control. The Free Holds, once a superpower slave state, now wage war on two fronts against freedom fighters and empire makers. The rest are either too weak, or too isolationist to be able to fight alone or care.

This, this has been the world for ten years... But something has changed. Now, the Queens of Renalta mobilize their forces, their military and their agents both diplomats and spies working around the clock to keep tabs on where corruption lies and how to resolve conflicts and create alliances to strengthen the mortal realm’s defences. There is one such group, however, that stands apart from the rest. One group that actually marshals out and gets the alliances signed, fights the battles, solves the mysteries, and roots out corruption wherever it may stand.

The Queen’s Blades are that group. Men and women from all corners of the world, from all walks of life good or evil, united in one cause: To stop the Nine Hells from consuming the world, whatever the cost. This group was formed by Queen Kouri, and elite members of the King’s Rangers were sent out to recruit men and women, all those that had something special, or unique. Those whose potential was greater than that of the average person.

Someone, such as... You.

Will you join the Renaltan Royalty in their castle? Take upon yourself missions to heal a fractured world?... Or will you turn your back on this world, and leave it to its fate?

---

Welcome to the Legend of Renalta 2. This story uses a missions-based system to progress the story and advance your character. Between missions, you can spend time in the city of Renalta or its castle, and interact with any NPC’s you’ve met before. During missions you can explore the area and are free to use whatever means or goals or ideas you have in order to resolve the mission’s objectives.

Your every action, however, impacts the status of the story. If your character dies, it’s noticed. If your character fails a mission, it’ll be noticed. Not every mission will be a total success, some are harder than others, and some even give you impossible choices that you must make. Relationships formed with NPC’s will mean something down the line, with honourable actions generally being returned in kind, and so forth. This is the closest thing to a living world I can create, and is a sequel to a four year long RP. Anyone is welcome to join, so long as they fit the advanced section’s qualifications.

Mission Board

Mission Rules

3-5 Players per mission. Reinforcements can be sent if mission numbers drop below the maximum (5), and NPC's do not count as characters, so bringing along non-combat pets or otherwise should be harmless so long as it's requested beforehand.

Missions

Amazonia Imperiia

Description: The Amazons were once, years ago, the first official “colonial” state of the Imperial Realm. Both the Amazons and Imperial forces have been struggling to fight off the Free Holds, which have been pushing further and further westward in an attempt to stave off a potential killing blow by the Goblin Holds and to crush both factions before they can put up any real fight.

The Imperium has requested aid in merging the two nations. They have provided information that the Queen of the Amazons wishes to join with the Imperium for a stronger overall nation, mainly because of the promise that they would be allowed to continue to manager their own affairs and culture unimpeded by Imperial rule.

The Princess of the Amazons, however, has claimed that the Queen is under daemonic influence, and any merger would cause systemic damage to both nations which would allow the Free Holds to win. She is leading a resistance force against the Queen and by extension the Imperium.

Our diplomats have managed to get all three factions at one table within the Amazon jungle, in a tribal village called Do’ken, by the river of blood. Your mission will start there.

Your job is to go in, talk to each side, figure out the best method of resolving the conflict, and then resolve it. While Kouri would prefer siding with the Imperium thanks to already friendly relations, if it turns out that the Queen is under demonic influence, it would be preferable to prevent further spread than honour alliances.

As a show of good faith, Queen Alexandria will accompany the party on this mission. While her protection is desired, the mission should come first.
Type: Conquest, Nation Merger, Diplomacy.
Relations Improved: Amazons-Independent or Imperials-Amazons Merger.
Objectives:
--Primary: Discover if the Queen of the Amazons is under demon influence.
--Primary: Side with either the Princess or the Imperium.
--Primary: Resolve the conflict through diplomacy or violence.
--Secondary: Keep Queen Alexandria alive and well. She is there as a symbol of Renaltan power and camaraderie, her loss would inflict a great blow to the kingdom’s morale.
Number of Players: 3/5.

Sarah’s Request

Description: Sarah Darkhammer, otherwise known as The Abomination’s Wife, one of the most fearsome assassins and oldest living entities... Has come out into the public eye for the first time in several generations... To issue a request to the recently instated Queen’s Blades. This woman’s motives are largely unknown, but having her favour would be a boon towards the survival of the world, and she is known for being a keeper of artifacts that even the Mage’s Guild would kill to have...

Needless to say, Sarah Darkhammer has asked for the aid of Queen’s Blades members to infiltrate an abandoned temple in the Underdark. Apparently, there is an ancient artifact that the Drow desperately want there, which she wants to get first. This artifact holds great religious importance to the Drow and would easily secure their aid if we gifted it to them, though, this might piss off Sarah Darkhammer...
Type: Treasure Hunt!
Relations Improved: Sarah Darkhammer or The Drow.
Objectives:
--Primary: Infiltrate an abandoned temple deep in the Underdark. Sarah Darkhammer will lead you there.
--Primary: Find the ancient artifact, likely located in the main chamber. Sarah Darkhammer may be able to help in this regard, though she’s known for being fickle.
--Primary: Acquire the ancient artifact and either give it to Sarah Darkhammer, or make your way back to a nearby Drow camp and gift it to them instead.
--Secondary: We are aware that a Dwarven excavation party was lost within the depths of the Temple two days ago. If you could find them as well, it may win over some Dwarven support, regardless of who we give the artifact to.
GM: Kadaeux.
Number of Players: 4/5.

First Blow

Description: In a war, the best defence is often the greatest offence. At least, this is the policy of Liveria’s witch hunters, which have discovered a Lich tainted by corruption to the south of the Kingdom of Tuleria. One of the witch hunters has requested Renaltan aid after the loss of her squad attempting to take down the Lich.

Your mission is simple. Enter the blighted lands, find a way into the twisted cathedral which the lich calls home, and destroy the lich. After this is done, recover the lich’s phylactery. We need to know how it is that even the undead could be corrupted, and that phylactery is likely the key.
Type: Search and Destroy, Boss Hunters, Research and Development.
Relations Improved: Kingdom of Liveria, Kingdom of Tuleria.
Objectives:
--Primary: Join up with the witch hunter who requested aid. Her name is Wren Vesper.
--Primary: Infiltrate or storm the twisted cathedral.
--Primary: KILL THE LICH!
--Primary: Recover the lich’s phylactery.
--Secondary: Try to keep Wren Vesper alive. Having a positive voice in the Liverian military would only aid any potential diplomatic actions with them in the future... Witch hunters are also known for repaying debts in times of great need as well.
Number of Players: 5/5.

Royal Blood

Description: With the death of Crown-Prince Xavier’s father and wife, the kingdom has gone into mourning, and the prince has been forced to call in outside aid after failing to resolve the murders himself. He has been known for having a stern no-tolerance policy towards outsiders, which makes this act an incredible desperate one.

The Queen’s Blades have agreed to help find out who murdered the king and the prince’s wife, and why. While violence isn’t expected, due to the nature of the deaths, one should come armed and ready to fight. Leaders and Seducers will be key here, as will Mages and Sneaks. We’re here to resolve a murder investigation, not cause mass hysteria.

With any luck, this will convince Liveria that Renalta is indeed their friend, and not their foe. Failure here may have significant repercussions...

This being said, Spymaster Mikan will accompany you on this mission. She will likely be focused on keeping Xavier calm with her... Friendly... Energetic... Demeanour, but can easily be asked for aid in knicking information or simple advice on how to proceed.
Type: Murder Investigation, Mystery, Diplomacy.
Relations Improved: Kingdom of Liveria.
Objectives:
--Primary: Find all potential suspects, witnesses, and key persons.
--Primary: Recover any and all information discovered by Xavier’s investigations.
--Primary: Find out who the most likely culprit is.
--Primary: Bring them to justice.
--Secondary: Keep Mikan out of harm’s way, though, often, it is known that a pair of legendary assassins watch out for her, so perhaps it would be best to keep an eye on your own backs instead...
----Secondary: The Crown-Prince has a teenage daughter. Keep her out of harms way as well. If she perishes, it may very well lead to a termination of the investigation, and the blame may be placed on the investigators…
Number of Players: 4/5.

Carnival of Chaos

Description: Reports have arisen of a strange man in purple robes claiming to be from the Carnival of Chaos, announcing grand plans involving the village. Normally such reports would be verified by King’s Ranger. We sent one. They went insane and have been screaming about crows eating out their eyes for fourteen straight hours.

Hanus Wolfblood has decided to take on this problem himself, being a vampire he has an easier time against mind tricks. He has, however, decided to take a small detachment of the Queen’s Blades with him, in case assistance is needed.

URGENT UPDATE: Strangely, as Hanus made the request for the Queen’s Blades aid, a letter came in delivered by a crow. Hanus has been invited to the Crystal Lake inn, for a “surprise only befitting of one so glorious as he.” Perhaps it is coincidence, perhaps it is not, either way... Caution is urged.

It should also be noted that Arian village is where most of Queen Alexandria’s family lives. Any threat to the village is a threat to the royalty and must be eliminated.
Type: Terrorism, Demon Infiltration.
Relations Improved: People of Renalta, World View of Renaltan Security.
Objectives:
--Primary: Find out what is going on in Arian Village.
--Primary: Keep Hanus Wolfblood alive.
GM: Kadaeux.
Number of Players: ?/5. (tbd)

Cease Fire

Description: The Templar Order and Rheinfeld Republic have come to a stand still in their conflict over which movement has more legitimacy. Taigyn, unable to produce siege machines without the Republic’s forests, and the Republic, unable to make a move on the capital without the aid of trained battalions, have decided to attempt to forge an agreement that will satisfy both parties long enough to remove the Papacy.

In this, they have requested neutral arbitrators. The Queen’s Blades, naturally, have been dispatched.

Success here may mean a much quicker end to the civil war in Rheinfeld, which in turn would free up the armies of the Templar and Republic for the ends of the greater good of the world.

It has been noted that elements within both the Order and Republic are against a cease fire, and the Papacy may also attempt to interfere. Keep your eyes open.

Sisera, royal adviser and close friend of Queen Kouri, has been sent to aid in the negotiations. A potent smoke mage, he can hold his own, but is old and frail from intense angelic-based torture. His loss would be a blow to the royalty’s credibility.
Type: Peace Agreement: Nations, Alliance Building.
Relations Improved: The Templar Order (Rheinfeld), Rheinfeld Republic.
Objectives:
--Primary: Secure a cease fire agreement between the Rheinfeld Republic and Templar Order.
--Primary: Attempt to discover any dissidents between the Templar Order or Rheinfeld Republic’s emissaries and guards. Prevent them from acting out any plans against Taigyn or Alida Spiegel.
--Primary: Kill or knock out any Papacy agents that attempt to interfere.
--Secondary: Keep Sisera alive. This is especially pertinent during negotiations. If he dies before the negotiations end, chances are good that the cease fire will dissolve unless a player character can convince the two factions otherwise and take Sisera’s place.
GM: Tempest.
Number of Players: 3/5.

Here Cometh The Wolves

Description: A string of brutal murders has gone on unabaited in the Kingdom of Tuleria. While it would normally be handled by local authorities, there are hints that the murders are the work of either lycanthropes or lizard men. Perhaps both. As well, the targets have always been close friends or advisers of Janelle and General Varro. If something isn’t done to curb this soon, the underlying, tense racism against the lizard men will erupt into violence and plunge this kingdom into an incredible violent xenocide.

That being said, Janelle and General Varro have both put aside their infighting temporarily to request for international aid. The Queen’s Blades are, of course, happy to oblige in preventing xenocide.
Type: Murder Investigation, Political Intrigue, Alliance Building.
Relations Improved: Kingdom of Tuleria, Magi Tower, General Varro.
Objectives:
--Primary: Discover who the murderer(er)s are by following any clues and leads found.
--Primary: Stop them by any means necessary!
--Secondary: General Varro has been known to be unstable. If possible, attempt to find out what could be causing the instability in your investigations.
GM: Tempest.
Number of Players: ?/5 (tbd)

The Hunt for Diana

Description: Diana is one of the last three remaining pure bloods. Of the three remaining, she is perhaps the only one that could be loosely called sane. There have been reports of her resurfacing in the Free Holds in Southblood, where her isolationist ways have strangely ended and she has started a small congregation of her own kind, almost like a religious organization.

Diana was once a guard in Renalta, over one thousand years ago. She protected Queen Kouri, but was eventually banished due to the potential threat she could have brought from the other two pure bloods by being present in the personal guard of the princess... Perhaps we can call upon old loyalties, and bring her back to protect the kingdom, and work with the Queen’s Blades. Queen Kouri has given a personal article that may aid in stirring old feelings.
Type: Legendary Character recruitment.
Relations Improved: Overall Queen’s Blades power, perception of the Queen’s Blades in the eyes of the world.
Objectives:
--Primary: Recruit Diana and her congregation into the Queen’s Blades.
--Primary: Try to discover why she has chosen to leave isolationism in the Free Holds, and not in a nation that would be safer for her kind.
--Secondary: Gift the locket unopened to Diana, as per Queen Kouri’s explicit instructions. This may aid in the recruitment process.
--Secondary: Prevent any of Liveria’s witch hunters or Rheinfeld’s crusaders from finding her. They are both factions dedicated to eradicating supernatural threats, like Diana, and while valuable allies, if it comes to blows, it may damage relations with these factions.
Number of Players: ??? (Mission may be scrapped!)

From here on out, the various chapters of information to aid you in your quest of joining this role play!
Chapter 2 is where you will find your character sheet.
Chapter 3 is where you will find rules and regulations, and any game terminology I feel needs explaining, like that corruption can effectively kill your character regardless of whether they are good or evil.
Chapter 4 is in the next post and is all of the lore entries on characters, nations, cities, artifacts, guilds, and more that you’ve picked up on over time. These are usually added as you participate in missions. This is also the chapter for the character list and any other miscellaneous information.

Chapter 2: Application. (CS)

This is your application sheet. It’s a little different from your regular character sheet in that it’s better constructed to address both the player’s needs and their character’s information. There is a lot of information to take in so don’t be afraid to take your time with your character sheet!

Biographical Section

Name: Your character’s name, real or not. (If name is false, send me a PM with the character’s real name.)
Age: Your character’s age. Note that it’s very likely your character was alive to see the revival of both The Imperium and Kingdom of Renalta as major factions, as well as the general destabilization of the world.
Race: Your character’s biological species, such as elf, orc, dwarf, human, etc. Try to keep it humanoid for the sake of simplicity.
Sex: Your character’s biological gender.
Appearance: Your character’s appearance. A text description or picture, or mix thereof, will do fine.
Homeland: Your character’s homeland. This sometimes affects how NPC’s interact with your character, and where appropriate, when in their homeland, your character may encounter NPC’s from their past, or know additional pertinent information about the local culture or geography. You may pick only one homeland, with each having relevant information given with the choice.

Homelands

Kingdom of Renalta: The Kingdom of Renalta was restored by Queen Kouri ten years ago, prior to this, it was a series of villages and towns that mainly kept to themselves. This Kingdom is perhaps the most idyllic in belief and in practice, with the concerns of the people often directly addressed by the royalty themselves, a great deal of emphasis is placed upon keeping the commoner fed, clothed, and housed, with ample opportunities for work at every corner. Often times the royalty themselves can be seen, sometimes even without bodyguards, walking the streets like any regular commoner. This has earned them the reputation of being both trustworthy and zealously adored by the majority of the people.

The culture of Renalta is openly tolerant, though there is still some underlying dislike of the now banished gods whom punitively destroyed the kingdom one thousand years ago. Their military is zealous and loyal, but untested in real warfare and relatively small in comparison to the other major world powers. Religiously, they tend to scatter across several religions. Racially, they tend to be the most diverse nation, though this sometimes causes friction between two immigrants whose homeland kingdoms are at war.

In general, most of the land is farmland, rolling grassy hills, hamlets, and rivers, with foothills and mountains to the north, and forests to the west and south. East they have a direct border with Liveria, which has little in the way of trade due to the sometimes tense relations between the two kingdoms. Renalta is the only significantly populated city, but it is one of the most populated on the planet, easily spanning several kilometers in every direction and boasting large, open streets for trade with open, welcoming architecture. The recent population explosion from refugees is making even this city however a little crowded.

Kingdom of Liveria: Liveria is a single city-state with self-sustaining farmlands. They are isolationist in nature and their ruler, Crown-Prince Xavier, rejected the idea of folding into the greater Renaltan kingdom due to conflicting ideologies. Where Liveria wants to be left alone, Renalta wants to swing open its doors. This has led to some friction between the two kingdoms at points, with Liveria claiming total control over the only coastline Renalta could feasible use.

Liveria is small but determined, and their people tend to be either commoners who work for the rich, or the rich who pay tariffs and taxes to the royalty, whom in turn use said taxes and tariffs to ensure their isolationism remains intact.

Unlike Renalta’s open city architecture, Liveria as a city holds are more gothic architecture, with stone gargoyles and dark stone used in construction one could almost be forgiven for confusing the keep for a citadel of engineering genius. Almost.

Kingdom of Rheinfeld: A once united nation now fractured in civil war, Rheinfeld holds to a germanic culture and is highly religiously charged. To call Rheinfeld a religious state would be to do a disservice: Nay, it is not religious merely in government, it is religious in its language, religious in its stature, religious even in its wars and how it holds to simple social gatherings. Grand cathedrals of great beauty dot the landscape, in every town there is a church, in every family a crusader or a priest.

The Papacy represented the four hundred year old government of the state, ever in contact with the Gods it lost its right to rule with the banishment of the Gods ten years ago. With the Templar Order and Rheinfeld Republic both nipping at its heels, the Papacy has surrounded itself with mercenaries and commoners still loyal to its cause. Pope Irvine the IV is rarely seen by his own people, though, which sometimes causes dissention among the ranks.

The Templar Order is the religious military wing of the government that declared the Papacy’s right to rule defunct and void. They have by and far the best trained men for combat, and women for priesthood, though they lack the siege machines necessary to truly besiege the Papacy, and don’t have access to the lumber necessary to construct it thanks to the Republic. Currently they are led by Taigyn, a member of Kouri’s companions who banished the Gods ten years ago. Middle aged but still quite fierce in battle, this one eyed man is highly respected by most of his peers, save for his second in command, Davian, whom questions his every motive.

The Rheinfeld Republic is by and far the most idealistic though weakest of the three splinter factions. Primarily made up of commoners and young ex-crusaders, they hope to form a government that represents the typically repressed commoners, inspired to take it a step further than what reports of the idyllic lives of commoners in Renalta presently have. Their leadership is chaotic, but most agree that Alida Spiegal, the child of two immigrants from distant lands and herself an ex-templar, inspires the most faith and wields the most leadership out of all those who attempt to lead the Rheinfeld Republic.

Kingdom of Tuleria: The Kingdom of Tuleria is ruled by a triad council, and holds a merchant’s culture above most other concepts. They are the masters of trade now that the Free Holds is under attack from multiple angles and tend to stay out of the world’s affairs, save where their own survival is involved. Presently, one of the three leaders of the triad council has gone insane with power, and is attempting to overthrow the other two at Barracks Varro.

The landscape can be summarized as swamps and desert. While they are a trader’s nation, this was at first by necessity: They had no farmlands to speak of, and thus had to import food. They began to export speciality goods, and soon enough the “little sister friendly not-slaver culture” to the Free Holds was born. Notable, lizardmen rank as one of the highest demographics population-wise.

This nation also holds a proud naval tradition, and claims the most powerful fleet in the world. They also tend to be one of the only nations that trades with distant lands, thanks to their natural presence on the ocean, though contact with such peoples is extremely limited.

The Free Holds: The Free Holds is arguable the oldest nation still around, and is arguable hardly a nation at all. They are a series of city-states that hold to two creeds: That they shall only fight others when their own overall independence is threatened, and to keep trade as open as is possible. Infamously, they even deal in the slave trade, and monopolize the market at every opportunity. They have the most ingenius military save perhaps for the Goblin Holds, and boast the widest range of the finest assassins, mercenaries, and... “Physical Entertainers”...

The entirety of their territory is desert, save for the northern front, which is a frozen wasteland cut off by a magical barrier that has not been penetrated in thousands of years. Not that they much care, for profit is the single reason this nation is united and exists for.

Leadership is left to each hold’s currently reigning warlord to decide. Again, infamous, the laws of one hold can change overnight with the warlord’s sudden and unsurprising death. Followed up with the next one... And the next one... Some holds even place bets about how long the currently reigning warlord will live. After all, anything in the name of profit.

The city architecture and overall culture is a mix-mash, with a dominant Arabic culture present, though hints of Latin can be seen in some of the oldest holds.

The Goblin Holds: These are the Free Holds liberated over the last ten years by the Goblin Revolt led by Emperor Xixis Madheart, a shaman with a terrible powerful spell tome capable of rendering entire garrisons obsolete. The goblins have outlawed slavery, and work with other typically slave-races of the Free Holds, such as other humans and orcs.

The goblin hold is known for some of the most ingenius and unorthodox strategies ever created, partially thanks to Xixis, and partially thanks to his main military adviser, an orc named Nash Skullbringer. They even managed to tame massive sand worms known as ‘Asimov Worms’, and goblins ride them underneath the ground only to burst above ground and swallow several mercenaries whole before diving back into the sand.

Overall, they’ve finally gotten the attention of the entirety of the Free Holds, whom have made it their civic mandate to retake their holds, though neither side is making any significant steps forward after the recent taking and subsequent sacking of a now unnamed hold.

The Imperium: Ten thousand years ago, there was an Imperium that reigned over what is now the Amazons, Free Holds, Goblin Holds, and Tuleria. This Imperium was destroyed, and for ten thousand years a sliver of it remained hidden in a cavern system and maintained by a lich known as Maurie Merryweather. Kouri and her allies discovered them and aided in helping the lich bring back one hundred thousand souls to life by banishing the gods to ensure that they would not be immediately slain for the act of bringing so many back to life.

The Imperium now is a revived incarnation of its ten thousand year old ancestor. They fled the Free Holds and arrived in a heavily forested area, long ago abandoned thanks to whispers of evil from Rheinfeld priests. Undaunted, they set about clearing the forests and building their towns and cities, with Animus becoming the capital, and finding no evil creatures.

Their attempts at retaking their old homeland from the Free Holds were only initially successful. Surprising the Free Holds with their impressive one on one combat skills and formation-based tactics, they took one of the holds and renamed it to the West Hold Colonia--their foothold into their own homelands. They lost said Colonia shortly after as mercenaries and others used magic-based tactics, something the Imperium is not familiar with in the slightest, to decimate their legions and force a retreat.

The government of the Imperium can be summarized as a republican democracy with now Empress Maurie directing the military forces. Their nation, whilst struggling to remain populated, does inspire some fervour for their lucid dream of reuniting the world under civilization, order, and equality. Their architecture is grand and majestic, though not always tactically sound it does inspire their people.

The Underdark: A realm hidden underneath the world known as the Underdark, it is accessible through mostly mountainous areas. It leads miles into the ground, leading to the Drow, the Dwarves, and even Mindflayers. This land is entirely unmapped due to its chaotic and ever-changing nature; a tunnel that was there a week ago may no longer exist now. Most supernatural creatures hide within its depths as well, safe from the overworld thanks to the Drow’s inability to care that they exist, and the Dwarves mostly congregating near the surface.

The Drow live in a couple of large cities, where they sell indentured slaves, and have a primarily matriarchal government though men are not entirely excluded from power. Their architecture and general appearance often glorifies spiders and other arachnids, and they are infamous schemers and backstabbers, though few know the underground passages quite like they do, for even with its chaotic nature they know how to navigate it.

The Dwarves, on the other hand, live in great cities of iron and timber, and focus on living within mountains as natural fortresses. They are known as an eccentric people who have a love of all things rare and antique, and are often compared to the world’s greatest collective of librarians and collectors. They are also one of the only races whom speak and sometimes trade with the ever enigmatic Mechanists.

As for the Mechanists? They are a highly reclusive race of technological masterminds, responsible for introducing the world to black powder and firearms and are the sole producer of such technological marvels, for attempts to replicate them otherwise are mysteriously ineffective. Mechanist towns or cities are unknown, as nobody has ever seen them save the Mechanists, whom only rarely leave such places.

History: Your character’s past. You may want to delay doing this part until you get through stats and traits.
Motivation: Your character’s motivation for wishing to see the plot be resolved. This is mainly to ensure that both you and I know what your character’s reasoning for joining the Queen’s Blades and fighting against the Nine Hells is, be that personal glory or righteousness is really up to you. I just want to know the reason.

Rules

Be cool like Fonz!

No adult-level content explicitly stated--this is a role play, not a sex shop. That being said, you can still hint at your characters being adults, having romantic or sexual inclinations, or otherwise. Simply black screen any scenes that contain obvious sequences of sexual contact and things should be just fine. Simple rule of thumb: If it can appear in a PG-13 film, it can work here. If it can’t, you may be stepping over the line.

I have no rules about blood and gore. Go insane on the grim details.

No auto-hitting, godmoding, or metagaming.

To start with, we’ll have one character per player allowed. More will be allowed later as the RP goes on and players with high leadership/seduction scores start recruiting followers and earning favours.

Have fun!

Game Concepts

Corruption as used in this role play means more than just political or personal corruption. Demonic corruption is a literal poisoning of a character’s heart, mind, and soul, slowly draining them of their willpower and individualism until they become empty, obedient shells of their former selves. This kind of corruption can vary in several forms, ranging from magic, to succubi, to poison, and more. A character who becomes fully corrupt is treated as having been killed in action, regardless of whether they are good or evil--avoid being inflicted with corruption where possible!

Note, that NPC’s over time can also be afflicted with corruption and eventually lost to it.

This does use a dice system with all the stats and traits. Don’t worry about keeping track of the numbers, the GM’s will do that.

General Information

The Timeline: There are four major eras to keep in mind, though the third and fourth eras tend to be the only relevant ones for this present time, the other two can come up from time to time.

The first era began at the beginning of time and ended ten thousand years ago. It is marked with a sparsely populated world, and incredible powerful monsters, creatures, and people of legend, including Malaki Duralus, Sarah Darkhammer, Amanda the Archmage, and others. One vast empire known as the Imperium held control over what is now the Free Holds, Amazonian Jungle, Tuleria, and the Blood Sea, as well as lands to the north now locked away behind Time’s Veil. The first era ended when Amanda the Archmage brought the last Well of Power to life. This also marks the fall of the Imperium.

The second era is marked as a notable dark age of history. The few attempts at new empires to replace the fallen Imperium failed, their leaders constantly assassinated and taken down by Sarah Darkhammer and Malaki Duralus, as well as by a few others who perished as history went on. The second era is known mainly for a large burst in mortal populations, and the massive decline of supernatural creatures and monsters in comparison. The second era ended with the fall of Kingdom of Renalta to the wrath of the Gods, one thousand and ten years ago.

The third era began roughly one thousand years ago. It is known for a period where a mixture of tyrannical and benevolent gods ruled the world, hellbent on controlling the mortals that worshipped them in order to retain their own power, and protecting them from their own naivety. It ended when Queen Kouri, awoke from an ancient, magically induced stasis. Still a princess at the time she gathered those few willing to brave the journey, and banished the Gods from the mortal realm.

The fourth era began with the reconstruction of the Kingdom of Renalta, aided by magic and open arms many raced to a kingdom whose main features included most prominently tolerance and even a measure of respect for the commoner. We live in the fourth era, and depending on the choices of a select few once again, it will decide whether this era will see an ending in chaos and massacre, or unity and friendship...

Vampires & Pure Bloods: In the first era, vampires were monsters that marauded townsfolk with superhuman powers the likes of which took entire squads of professionally trained hunters to take down. Seeing as how the population during that time was limited and the Imperium’s forces were stretched thin fighting a burgeoning Gault and keeping peace over its own realms, it couldn’t spare anything to stop them. Then, the pure bloods appeared.

All in all, six mortals took down a vampire and instead of immediately burning it, found a way to take in its powers as their own. They became the first infection-based vampires, known as pure bloods, each with their own set of powers that gradually evolved over time based on what they did. Among them was the infamous Malaki Duralus, whom at the time didn’t have much of a reputation. Together the six destroyed nearly every monstrous vampire with the intent to forge their own realms within the Imperium until a great cataclysm utterly shattered the world of mortals, and the Imperium.

For the next two eras, vampires were fairly quiet, keeping to themselves unless being hunted by especially xenophobic members of the Templar Order in Rheinfeld. What is known is that one fell to such hunters under the command of Malaki’s father, Granis Darkhammer, and two more were slain by Malaki himself. Diana opted to hide within the upper echelons of society, and Garroth chose to flee far to the south in lands shrouded by mystery, now known as the Kingdom of Dreams, to surround himself with an army of undead.

As for Malaki, well, he set to occasionally overthrowing burgeoning empires for a few thousand years, and then with the reappearance of his undead sister, mostly vanished from the public’s view. What it is he does now is entirely unknown.

Vampires themselves are universally identifiable with their silver eyes, though some use magic to hide this trait. Their fangs can retract which, unless closely examined, makes it difficult to tell whether they are or are not vampires. Furthermore, Diana’s brood in particular, tend to merge well in the upper echelons of society and gain favour with others.

If I can give one piece of advice, it would be to not trust vampires. Even me. For in our most desperate state we forget who we are and revert to the monsters from whence we came.

--Hanus Wolfslayer, General of Renalta.

Magic 101: The history of magic starts in the first era, ten thousand years ago, when the then-apprentice Amanda – myself – was living within the first Imperium, attempted to ignite five hidden, and now ethereal, Wells of Power located across the world. I succeeded, and magic flooded the world, both to the great horror and wonder of all the mortal races that lived within it... It has been this way ever since.

It was quickly discovered that there were a few curtails to magic that prevented mages from dominating the world. The first is that the more powerful the spell is, the longer it takes to cast. Even wildly experienced mages who have spent their entire lives perfecting the craft find their most powerful spells still take them time to prepare and cast. Another discovery is that mages can be detected by other mages: The more powerful the mage, the larger the radius in which they can be detected, even by other, lesser mages whose presence cannot be felt by the more powerful mage.

An additional discovery was made, much to the joking humour of halfwit children everywhere, that mages whom attempt to cast a spell that would be, say, apocalyptic in origin, often... Explode. The more magic a mage attempts to wield, the more difficult it becomes to contain. When a mage can no longer contain the magic required to cast the spell, well... The mage and sometimes half a city block will simply cease to exist.

Along with those facts, certain things are barred even from magical influence, and attempts to the contrary have always ended poorly. Chronomancy, power over time, has always resulted in horrifying, painful death for mages whom have experimented with it. Shapeshifting also seems to be out of magical bounds and is exclusively a racial trait, and that being said, teleportation tends to induce motion sickness in users at short range, and several seconds of debilitating disorientation at long range. It is also nearly impossible to “combat cast” teleportation spells.

Furthermore, anti-magic and supernatural elements can combat and dispel, or even outright ignore, magic as a whole. This is especially prevalent in the religiously charged Kingdom of Rheinfeld, whom barely tolerate the existence of mages and distrust them to an extreme, and sometimes genocidal, degree.

The rule of thumb, thus, is this: The simpler the magical spell is, the more likely it is to succeed, and the quicker it will occur. Only experience out in the field will tell a mage what they can and cannot achieve, and many find out the hard way what happens when they fail...

--Amanda the Archmage.

Kingdom of Renalta

History

Death and Rebirth of Renalta: During the end of the second era and the beginning of the third, the kingdom of Renalta spanned both the current kingdom's borders and the Kingdom of Liveria. They were a people united a common desire for freedom and protection from those whom would take it from them. Many races inhabited the lands, though the royalty was at times suspiciously human-dominated. Their rule was generally benevolent, though not always, and ended when princess Kouri rejected a marriage proposal from a newly inducted Archangel. The archangel, young and infuriated, gave the gods the last piece of "evidence" they needed to condemn the kingdom, which had already been a little too rebellious for their comfort.

When the kingdom fell and the capital was destroyed, those few remaining with distant royal ancestry went into hiding. Most were ferreted out and slaughtered, though a select few survived, and most remain in hiding to this day. The King's Rangers' few survivors, ever watchful, made certain to keep an eye over Kouri's resting place, making sure that not a soul would disturb it. They did what they could to aid the devastated towns and villages, but alas, there was little that could be done without jeopardizing their own safety and with it, the last remnants of the kingdom.

During the vast majority of the third era, the Renaltan villages had to contend with assaults from Rheinfelder crusaders looking to destroy witches and heretics, orc raiding bands, bandits attempting to hold villages under their "realm", and more. As some villages grew into townships, they formed a loose confederation, with towns and villages riding out to provide relief efforts and militia reinforcement wherever possible, though it was often not in time, as messengers were often targets to prevent warnings and pleas for help from getting through to the rest of the confederated towns.

During this time, the easternmost towns were most heavily affected by piracy along the coast and orcish marauders from the mountains. As they began to lose faith and seclude themselves from the confederated towns, they were harassed less. Likely a scheme to divide and conquer, but alas, it worked as the eastern half of Renalta--its entire coastline--formed a schism state and began to adopt a culture of isolationism and strength in solitude.

Just as things seemed at their most hopeless, the gods were banished, and the third era ended, giving way to the fourth era. Kouri returned as legends said she would, legends propagated by the King's Rangers and kept alive by the patriotic and fervent dreamers. Using magic, her now legendary reputation, and the King's Rangers, she recreated the capital city in all of its splendor. Towns' mayors whom also doubled as lords, formed the backbone of the aristocracy, trading in political power for financial power and political security.

Still, as this happened, the lands known as the Kingdom of Liveria refused to fold and rejoin, their culture now too disparate from Renalta's to be considered the same state.

How things shall go from here, is entirely unknown.

The Amazons

Culture

Matriarchs: Where most societies are either gender neutral or male-dominated, this civilization has traditionally been ruled by women. Each tribe has a head mistress, and in turn each of these report to the royalty of the Amazons during times of conflict or desperation. Of note: Where most societies determine royalty purely by heredity means, the Amazonian Matriarchy determines it both through hereditary means and mastery of the art of passion. Passion in this case referring to any strong emotional act: War, artistry, lovemaking, and more. Thus, someone can "earn" their way into royalty through sufficient skill and emotional display.

Men in this society, whilst not entirely a secondary citizen group, tend to the more passive and submissive roles in society, such as basket-weaving and knitting, child care, and more. While warrior men are not entirely unheard of they're a definite rarity, as the Amazons tend to look down on them as being unreliable for long-term familial bonds.

Passionate People: There is nothing more important to this society than seeing passionate emotions in others. Whilst they respect power and discipline, passion is what they live and die for. Passion as defined by them is putting great emotional investment and pride into one’s works. If there is a blemish in a piece of artwork, they repair it. If there is a flaw in a fighting technique, it must be remedied. There is no such thing as “good enough” to these people, there is always room for improvement.

The more emotionally stirring the act is, the more likely it is to be labeled as a passionate act.

Names: There are no family names in this society. Just a person’s chosen profession and a first name. Examples include Queen Moira, or Hunter Lyra.

Special Thanks

Special thanks go out to the following people, for being good friends, and long time role players that were around for the original’s four year long story, and whose characters are now ingrained in the world itself.

Special Thanks

Tempest: For being an amazing friend who has kept me... Somewhat sane all these years. You are my best friend... And words cannot express the roller-coaster of a life we have been through together. I’m glad you made it to the other side of the raging rapids with me.
Played As: Elsha Raines (K.I.A.), Brent Basset (K.I.A.), Alexandria Sumera Nabecasar (Queen of Renalta), Taigyn (Leader of the Templar Order), Paige (Only Tempest will know her fate), Aedil Brand (Mage's Guild member).
Created: The Kingdom of Tuleria, including all of its culture and characters.
Is a Co-GM of LoR 2!

Kadaeux: For always being the rival I needed to constantly compare myself to, and constantly attempt to best in friendly jests... Without you I don’t think LoR would have been quite the same.
Played As: Xixis Madheart (Emperor of Goblin Holds), Zix & Xiz (Both K.I.A.), Breakre (K.I.A.), Gatheron (K.I.A... Hilariously so. )
Is a Co-GM of LoR 2!

Andi: Again, for being a great friend, and those slut sisters really did bring in a whole new angle... Cough. In all seriousness though, you went out of your way to have your characters save a sixteen year old girl and give her hope in the world. You’re beyond admirable.
Played As: Jamiahl (Legendary Assassin), Salini (Legendary Assassin), Mesharra (K.I.A.)

Gat: What can I say man? I’d be hard pressed to say anything foul about you considering your immense patience and unorthodox ideas gave everyone a few smiles and lasting memories.
Played As: A forgettable lizard (Ha!), Os’Falan (Renaltan Court Bard)

Slade: Again, a good friend... It seems I am surrounded by them.
Played As: Sisera (Renaltan Clamaint, Royal Adviser), Insane Creativity (seriously never stop being creative.)

Sarzum: You and your Drow always had me guessing. Always had me wondering when the knife would come out. You pretty much embodied what the lightness towards morbidity was all about with the Drow... Again. Irreplaceable, just as all the others on this list are.
Played As: Harrad (K.I.A.), Naream (Apprentice Necromancer), Shade (Unknown Fate).

Orion (AKA: Icarus): You were with me in the original LoR. You were with me in its remake. You were with me when I was sick, when I was injured, when I was in pain, even when I hated myself, you were there, ready to role play, ready to go on epic adventures, even as Dean took Godsplitter, your first act was to look at me and ask for your next duty.

You are quite probably the most loyal role player I have ever met in the 10+ years I have been role playing, you glorious son of a bitch.
Played As: Dean (Legendary Warrior).

Genais: You joined in and despite the several times where I had a hard time trying to coordinate posts with you, you stuck through. Even when the RP had a couple month-long hiatuses you stuck through, and you provided great interactions with Teila and her demon. The RP would not have been the same without you, and the fact that I forgot to add you to the special thanks is a shameful display on my part.
Played As: Teila (Mentor), "The Cripple" (K.I.A.)

[Sathanas Rex]

Name: Alhvaharyis
Age: 22
Race: human
Sex: male
Appearance: Alhvaharyis is tall, slim, somewhat androgynous. His hair is pale blond and his eyes are bright blue. His jawline isn't very strong, and his nose is small. His cheekbones are high. He wears a modified version of papal robes: two silk sashes embroidered in gold, draped over his shoulders, leaving his chest bare. His pants are white, and died with sashes at his waist. When he is on a mission, however, he will don more sensible, albeit equally stylish and expensive, clothes, and also wear a nondescript, expressionless white mask. Regardless of what he's doing or wearing, Alhvaharyis always keeps several daggers about his person.

image

Homeland: Rheinfeld
History: Alhvaharyis was born into a respectable and renowned family of the Papacy, and raised accordingly. At the age of 12, shorty after the chaos that was the banishment of the gods, when the papacy acted out of desperation to preserve their power, his father spoke against them, and was executed for treason. He was forced to watch, and then observe helplessly as all his core beliefs were shattered. Confused, Alhvaharyis fled from the papacy and to the city slums, living as an urchin for two miserable days. On the second, he was picked up by a mysterious person that turned out to be a powerful and enlightened demon. For reasons still unknown, this demon took him in, trained him, raised him, taught him. Alhvaharyis was taught how to obtain results quickly and in the most effective way possible. He learned stealth, where the human body is weakest, the nuances of several languages, social etiquette across the continent.
These lessons were often imparted over a game of chess or some other tactical activity, which subconsciously improved his ability of analyzing and considering multiple things at once. The demon taught him to approach everything with rationality, to think and look before acting, and to reflect upon the eventual outcomes of his actions. It is because of this that there is a method to what he does. Yes, he feels most of the leaders currently are evil and useless and therefore must be eliminated, but Alhvaharyis also understands this must be done with a certain criteria to it. He realizes he is playing a risky game, and is exceedingly careful not to slip up.
Aged 16, he decided he had been trained enough, and it was time to make his way into the world, to start moving towards the justice and peace he sought after. In this period of time Alhvaharyis started learning the ways of the world, and, more importantly, establishing connections with the nobility of the area. He garnered enough interest to be considered amusing, and was thus able to understand the situation, associate faces with names, and more importantly, faces with events and reputations. In this period, he returned to his master briefly, in difficult moments.
Currently, he is staying in the Templar Order (geographical area), to hunt down the corrupt templars, and hopefully also to strike at the Papacy.
Motivation: he wishes to purge this world of the leaders he sees as corrupt and weak, but how can he do that if everyone is dead? This is the only reason why he is working with Queen Kouri in the first place.

Name: Kasim Amibilus
Age: 25
Race: Human
Sex: Male
Appearance:

Homeland: The Goblin Holds

History: Kasim was once a slave in the city of Kinghold, set free by the goblins when they conquered the city. He was either born into slavery or taken at a very young age, for he knew nothing but servitude in the time before the goblins came and he never knew his parents or land of origin. He was owned by an aging merchant woman who was fairly kind as far as slave owners went, only rarely ordering whippings and being frugal enough to feel that working a slave to death was a waste, but Kasim could never work his way around to being happy about his lot in life. The merchant woman mainly used him for simple manual labor, hauling heavy crates of goods to load up her wagons, but once she realized that his strange statements about other people originated from a rare telepathic talent she wisely put his skill to use: she had him serve food and drinks during business meetings at her estate, just happening to make fleeting skin to skin contact to read the surface thoughts of her guests and then discreetly relaying that information to her. She kept his talent a secret of necessity, for if other merchants found that she was using a telepath in such a conniving way she would lose all trust and trade agreements, and perhaps her life. As Kasim grew older she started to take the young man (though he could have accurately been called a boy when it started) into her bed to fill the void left by the passing of her favorite bed slave. He didn't really fight against this, and definitely enjoyed it on a carnal level, but he had enough presence of mind to be disgusted by the knowledge that he was being used like an object. Vague stirrings of wishing for freedom, and hatred for his owner, swirled around his mind without being given any critical examination for years.

The minor seeds of rebellion in Kasim's mind finally and suddenly sprouted when he was 16, when the goblin Xixis Madheart's surprise attack on Kinghold sent the guards from the merchant's estate running off toward the newly made hole in the wall around the city. With the merchant woman left with nobody but her slaves to guard her, Kasim found himself drawn to the then deserted guard quarters; time blurred as if he was in a dream, and the next thing he was aware of was a bow and a few arrows clutched in his hands. He'd always fascinated by the bow, but this was the first time he ever held one. Kasim took the weapon inside the main building of the estate, up into the merchant woman's bedchamber, and found her hiding under the covers like a child. She looked hopeful for a moment, as if the slave come to protect her, but that notion was soon dismissed as he raised the bow and inexpertly nocked an arrow. It took him three of the four arrows he'd brought before he finally hit his target from a distance of no more than ten feet, during which time she sat there frozen; when the arrow struck her in the gut she finally screamed and writhed in pain, and the frozen state seemed to transfer to Kasim. He stood there for a few minutes, shocked at his own actions, before dropping the bow and walking forward. When he reached the bed the merchant woman flailed at him, screaming for him to get away from her. Upon her hand touching his arm, his telepathy gave him a flash of her thoughts: she thought of him as a traitorous wretch, scum who she had always known would betray her, a spray of mental vitriol that rocked Kasim to his core. He had only a moment of hesitation before using the last arrow gripped in his left hand to stab the woman to death.

When a troop of goblins made their way around to check the estate, they found Kasim sitting with his back to the wall beside the open gates, his arms and torso caked in dried blood. When they inquired and learned that he had killed the slaver merchant and set the other slaves free, they congratulated him and told him to come celebrate his liberation with them. A night of drinking and revelry later, Kasim was initiated into the army of the Xixis Madheart alongside many other freed slaves who wished to aid their fight against the Free Holds. He stayed with them for three years, learning the way of the bow from Morilab, an orc who wielded a massive longbow that Kasim struggled to lift using both hands. The orc's style of strength being equal to finesse in archery was picked up eagerly by the young man, who was fairly strong after a lifetime of hauling crates and loading wagons. He also learned a lot about thrown weapons, with a preference for knives, and a little about using a sword from the various goblins he befriended. Over the course of the many battles he fought as part of Emperor Xixis Madheart's army, Kasim had so many close calls that people started jokingly calling him undead, because nobody could squeak by death that many times without their luck running out; a sword slash that looked like it was going to rip him in half was deflected by a small rock that had somehow gotten into his pocket, more than once an arrow that looked to be heading straight for his vitals instead scored a gash along his ribcage, and in one instance a knight in heavy plate had charged him and tripped on what appeared to be his own feet and ended up snapping his own neck as he stumbled into the archer.

Kasim parted ways with his abolitionist compatriots due to a simple realization: he'd never seen the world outside the desert lands of the Holds, and he very much wished to. He traveled to the city of Tuleria, where he stayed for a couple years and at the age of 19 (shortly after he first arrived) discovered that women tended to find him attractive, and that he was fairly skilled at convincing them to join him for an evening of entertainment (which was a large reason why he stayed so long despite his aspirations to see the world). His time spent in Tuleria was a period of self-discovery in many ways: he found that he had a cruel streak a mile wide even after leaving the war behind him, which he came to realize had been the true impetus behind his slaying of the merchant who once owned him; he discovered in himself a strong affinity for the weak and downtrodden of all sorts, ranging from the poor and sickly to the criminal elements of the city; he quickly picked up on the fact that these same people placed an inordinate amount of trust in him, that they seemed to view him as some kind of natural kin even without knowing his story. Long story short, Kasim ended up working for a gang of sorts that extorted money from merchants of middling wealth through threats of violence, as well as engaging in a variety of other illegal activities for profit and entertainment; Kasim specialized in using of his telepathic skill (which he kept secret from others) on carefully selected and subdued targets to gather information, which he then sold off to whoever he felt would pay the most, and those targets also served as handy objects upon which he could vent his pent up desires to inflict harm on others. He pulled up stakes and left Tuleria after an extortion scheme went sour thanks to a trap set by the city guard, by way of a plea for help from the merchant target, wherein Kasim had once again lucked out by getting away with his face covered and only a moderately bad gash along his forearm instead of the gutting stroke that had been intended.

Over the course of the following five years, Kasim made his way from city to city, hiring on as a guard for merchant caravans and one ship to travel and climbing easily and familiarly into the underbelly of the cities he spent extended time in. His wandering took him back for a brief stay in the Goblin Holds that he thinks of as his homeland, then to Port Luclin (shortly after he turned 22) where he took a ship down to Liveria, then up into the lands that were once a unified Rheinfeld, from Veldhausen to Heiligen Stuhl before he finally headed south into Renalta at the age of 24. He has found the city to be quite interesting in its differences from other places he'd visited, somehow managing to be crowded and bristling with racial tensions but remaining peaceful and quaint. Despite the general lack of oppression to work with, Kasim quick found his particular talents of lucrative use in the nebulous and volatile criminal element in the city of Renalta, which is mainly made up of smuggling operations and territorial spats between various factions that still haven't found a comfortable balance after the massive influx of refugees.

Very recently Kasim was caught using his telepathy in very unscrupulous ways. Due to the laws being hazy about the legality of such things, and the inability of the authorities to pin any clearly illegal activities on him, they were forced to let him go with a stern warning. Some members of the Queen's Blade heard of his relatively rare talent, did a little bit of snooping to scope him out, and approached with an offer to join. Their pitch was convincing, for Kasim had been growing tired of remaining sedentary and his particular sense of justice places demons in the same hateful category as slavers.

Motivation: General boredom, a sense of adventure, and a firm hatred of demons.

Subliminal Messages: Unbeknownst to Kasim himself, he has refined his telepathic skill to send out subliminal messages to those he feels a level of kinship with. Due to this being a subconscious effort, Kasim thinks it's the other way around, that these others are feeling some kinship toward him for reasons unknown. Anyone who Kasim views as weak, downtrodden, oppressed, or part of the lower dregs of society will find themselves very much inclined to help him in any way they're able, though this effect cannot coerce people into doing anything that goes against their morals or beliefs.

Name: Rayvon Krayvitch
Age: 28
Race: Human (Aasimar)
Sex: Female
Appearance: Image Reference *Note: There are no wings.

Rayvon stands at approxiamately 5’11” and weighs in at 133 lbs. Her hair is cut short, framing her face and is black, glinting a deep blue in the light. Her eyes are a deep piercing blue and her face is marked with dark markings. Overall, she is of a slender but strong build but can be notably seen staggering from time to time as if she is still not used to distributing her weight a particular way. Notably, down her back, near her shoulder blades, are two large scars with irregular planes denoting where her wings once were.

Homeland: Kingdom of Liveria - Outcast

Homeland

Kingdom of Liveria: Liveria is a single city-state with self-sustaining farmlands. They are isolationist in nature and their ruler, Crown-Prince Xavier, rejected the idea of folding into the greater Renaltan kingdom due to conflicting ideologies. Where Liveria wants to be left alone, Renalta wants to swing open its doors. This has led to some friction between the two kingdoms at points, with Liveria claiming total control over the only coastline Renalta could feasible use.

Liveria is small but determined, and their people tend to be either commoners who work for the rich, or the rich who pay tariffs and taxes to the royalty, whom in turn use said taxes and tariffs to ensure their isolationism remains intact.

Unlike Renalta’s open city architecture, Liveria as a city holds are more gothic architecture, with stone gargoyles and dark stone used in construction one could almost be forgiven for confusing the keep for a citadel of engineering genius. Almost.

History:

Open to the capital of Liveria, a grand scene of dark architecture, looming overhead. Snarling gargoyle’s leer down upon commoner and noble alike, wings outstretched to the heavens ready to swoop forth and claim their victims… A haunting city of grim beauty for a child to behold, with the hidden demons and weeping cherubim of stone. For Rayvon, staring up at these cherubim with wide eyes, she wondered why this child angels danced upon in glory while she hid her gift from the heavens under tight wraps, cloaks and more…

She lived like this for some time, clear into her teen years until, before the statue of King Xavier’s father, staring up at the imposing giant… She shed her disguise, wings unfurling. A quiver ran through the young woman at the feel of the air across the feathered appendages. For a time, the world was brighter, she felt exhilarated, empowered, a true glory to behold…

There were those of another opinion. The Witch Hunter Davis Christo took it upon himself to remove the problem in the city. As the girl wandered about her city and home, free for the first time, he rallied a hunting party. They stalked her in the night until she returned home to her father, the source of her power, and mother, a well-respected Witch Hunter of Liveria. From her home, the abducted her, took her into holding and sought out justice. There were things done there she does not speak of to this day… But the worst act against her, was the ravaging of her wings… They began first, shredding them off, joint by joint… Before hacking them off where they protruded from her back.

Justice dispensed, they cast her out into the streets. There she lay, coated in muck and her own blood, sobbing, too weak to move. A holy man found her there, in his patrol through the street to grant sanctuary in the monastery to the poor and downtrodden for the night of rain… There were still so many who condemned angels, even here, so many refugees of Renalta holding their heritage in secrecy… Yet this one man, carried the woman to the monastery and saw to her treatment.

For a time, she was too preoccupied fading in and out of consciousness to make any note… When she awoke finally, the man began to speak of the clergy and gods and holiness. She spat and kicked him away, cursing him and his gods and demanding to know what they ever did for her… In her attempt to leave, she proved to still be too injured… So she was stuck listening to the his drivel.

After a time, her family found her, her father blamed himself and his bloodline for it. He took it hard, straight to his grave… She did not take his death well. Her mother, however, sought vengeance for the actions against her brood. She began a hunt of her own in pursuit of Davis Christo… Successfully. The results of this act against a fellow Hunter resulted in her mother’s trial and impending imprisonment.

She got better, sure enough, and ended up, the loss of her parents, home and anything really to support her, she fell into the dark cracks of Liveria. She lived in the gutters and begging and until she finally grew and saw her calling. Rayvon struck out against the lowlives. This, however, fell into her bringing down the downtrodden who were forced into such a lifestyle just to survive, much as she had.

This work, was eventually, brought to eyes of higher authorities. They managed to bring her in for her acts. Of course, there was another motive behind this. They sought to recruit her for the Witch Hunters. To which she promptly declined due to her past with them… This had repercussions, though. She was to pay for her crimes. Not wishing to share a cell with her mother, though, she fled Liveria like a bat out of hell.

Motivation: To establish angels as secular and stamp down scourges of the realm. It may not be her problem, but she’ll be damned if she just sits around doing nothing when the fate of the world is at such a critical juncture.

Biographical Section

Name: Esyllt Boudica
Age: 21
Race: Human
Sex: Female
Appearance: Without armour, with armour
Homeland: Renalta

History: For years, there has been tension on the border between Renalta and Liveria. Edmundal and Pennwic, respectively were two towns on this border where the possibility of conflict constantly cast it's shadow over the civilians. The lord of Pennwic desired the farmlands of Edmundal, and because of his greater wealth, he had greater military power and pushed forth into Renaltan territory. Edmundal could not fight on equal footing with it's Liverian rivals. At least, not traditionally.

Enter Cynbel Boudica, a young man known as one of many urchins in the streets of Edmundal. Cynbel had lost his parents to the conflict between his hometown and Pennwic. As Edmundal grew more desperate, Cynbel sought to experiment with his birth-gift; that of magic. Although he had received minimal training, Cynbel was prepared to risk his body and mind to turn the tide. He studied golemancy from books and scrolls he'd stolen from a passing merchant. He'd study them deep into the night, and in spite of many experiments having blown up in his face, the (now charred) hands of Cynbel created his first golem after a mere two months. Although it was but an inch tall, this would spell the beginning of a new resistance.

While he had used the souls of small animals for his first experiments, to create a golem that could be deployed in combat Cynbel required souls of something larger and smarter than alley-cats. Human experimentation, however, was outlawed. When Cynbel presented his designs to the court, he was denounced as wicked and locked away. However, one of the Edmundal lord's sons saw potential in Cynbel. Even imprisoned, this son saw to it Cynbel had materials to experiment further as well as access to prisoners of war and covered for Cynbel in order to not cast suspicion on him.

When Cynbel created his first golem fueled by a human soul, he was brought back to demonstrate it's power. The golem was stronger and more resilient than any of the lord's men, and as their battle was a losing one, the lord gave in to desperation and allowed Cynbel to pursue his research and the creation of more warmachines. Under the condition his work was kept underground.

Thanks to the golems, Edmundal gained the upper hand. They drove Pennwic from their lands. However, it did not end there. Edmundal gave pursuit and many skirmishes were fought until Pennwic surrendered. Edmundal demanded a portion of Pennwic's lands to pay for it's damages, which it received. The population was exalted, as not only had they extracted their revenge; their market had conquered the share of a competitor. Wealth laid in prospect and all the credit for it went to the lord. Cynbel's involvement was forever kept a secret to the general populace.

Perhaps this was for the best for everyone. The civilians knew too little about magic to suspect the true nature of golemancy. Not only had prisoners of war been used to fuel their victory, they had picked urchins off the streets and used fatally wounded soldiers from their very own army. It was the darkest secret Edmundal had ever had, and the name Cynbel Boudica faded into obscurity.

As time passed and the heroes of Renalta returned and reformed the kingdom, the lord of Edmundal did not fit in the queens their new vision. He was replaced by his son, adourned Wulfric the second, who did remember who they owed the war to. He searched for Cynbel to bestow upon him the honour of knight, but to the young lord's surprise, Cynbel was nowhere to be found.

Having died to the wounds of his experiments, what was left of Cynbel's legacy were a widow and a daughter. Lord Wulfric, indebted to the man, took both women in his care and made them part of his household. The girl, Esyllt, was treated as one of the lord's very own daughters. In her father's place, she was taught the ways of a knight and received the title to accompany her training. However this was but the beginning young Esyllt's journey.

When she was taken in, the then thirteen year old girl was quickly discovered to have peculiar gifts. She could occasionally foresee the future and telepathically share her thoughts with others. This lead the Wulfric to recognise she had inherited her father's talents and he assigned sages to teach her to wield her gift. Esyllt's life was filled with training in various disciplines; her divination, telepathy, golemancy and swordsmanship were all to unfold, and additionally she was taught etiquette, the harp, the managing of a household, and many more skills that would be expected from a noblewoman. Esyllt studied obediently, thankful for the kindness of lord Wulfric and remembering the alternative of having lived in the slums with her mother, had the lord not found them.

When Esyllt turned sixteen years of age, lord Wulfric deemed her old enough to learn the truth about her father and her gift. When she learned of the inhumane her father had practiced before her, Esyllt began to develop a duality towards her gifts. She continued her studies, struggling to learn how to extract souls and deploy puppets. At her twenty-first, she was knighted and finally became independent. Although Wulfric had much more knowledge to offer her, Esyllt decided she had to put her mind at ease.

The new knight put her skills to the test. She took her duty of protection her lord and the civilians very seriously and joined squads that defended settlements from beasts and bandits. Being able to be of assistance without relying on her forbidden gift, Esyllt became much more at ease. She had even planned to return to Wulfric's side to continue her studies in the arcane. However it would not be, as the Queens of Renalta had sent word of an invasion... And requested Edmundal's help.

Edmundal had forged great relationships with the royal family and as a token of that, Wulfric dispatched many of his knights to join the Queen's blades. Including his own sons and Esyllt. Along with her fellow knights, Esyllt swore an oath the the queens and their ideals, and so signed to fight for not only the sake of Edmundal, but for that of all Renalta. Perhaps even the world...

Motivation: Oath of loyalty to the royal house of Renalta, as well as a devotion to it's ideals.

Biographical Section

Name: Erasmus
Age: 34
Race: Human
Sex: Male
Appearance: A lithe and wiry man, he stands at a mere 5’8 putting him somewhat smaller than the majority of people he comes across. His skin tone is rather tanned, browned from a lifetime in the harsh elements of the world . His eyes are a dark grey colour, seeming lifeless at times due to the lack of anything bright or distinctive. The face is gaunt, seemingly drawn against the sharp features of his face; the protruding cheekbones, the hawklike nose, the thin ears and thin lips that are the same colour as his skin. His hair is kept very short, a close cropped sprawl of blonde hair is plastered across his skull. He is generally clad in a helm-less light grey leather armour, a black cape and a grey traveling cloak when traversing the land.

Homeland: Kingdom of Rheinfeld

History:

Born into a moderately successful merchant family as a third son, Erasmus was always going to have little in the way in his life in terms of future prospects. His two elder brothers were always going to inherit the majority of their father’s money and demand his father’s attention whilst his younger sister would draw his mother’s. Nevertheless he was in a loving, close family that kept food on the table and clean beds to sleep on so he wasn’t going to have a rough life either. His early years consisted of playing with his family, competing with his older brother; whilst mainly losing and driving his younger sister crazy. It was a happy and peaceful life.

There were childhood dreams of glory and heroics, the childhood games of might and magic but they were only that; the truth was they were merchant’s sons and they’d go on to become merchants. Yet Fate is an unpredictable mistress and she played her hand when a company of Templars rode through the town, hunting down heretics and burning them at the stake. It was then that the boy’s innate potential was noticed. Even at such a young age there was still a hint of nothingness around the boy’s aura; enough to cause the anti-mage of the group demand to find the source. When they worked out it was him, they offered what seemed to be the opportunity of a lifetime to the boy, a chance to become a Templar Knight and carve his own legend.

Whilst his parents were uneasy with the decision, sending their little boy away at a young age seemed like a cruel and harsh thing; after all can anyone raise a child better than their own parents? In the end with much pleading from the boy and a very persuasive Templar captain, the boy rode away with the band of soldiers and onto a new future. When he arrived at the chapter house, the bustle of the soldiers and military might amazed the boy; this was the stuff that stories were made of yet here was living in it. He still managed to notice the way that seemingly everyone in the camp stared at him; everyone wanted to know just what this little irregularity was.

He was soon shuffled on to an academy that was tailored to develop the anti-mage’s for the Templars, it had been worked out that in order to train the best anti-mages for the order, the younger they started the better they would be. They were trained to suppress and halt spells, how to manipulate the threads of magic so that they could protect the people around them and finally trained it melee combat; they were still expected to be able to fight as a Templar Knight. Whilst they’d never be normal knights nor in command of the patrols they still had a great potential within the order.

By the time they had reached their sixteenth summer the cadets were sent out to various chapter houses and to fight in the name of their gods. Erasmus was sent to a frontier outpost, being one of the most capable cadets with much expected of him and a great deal of danger ahead. The vicious Crusades tempered him and taught him a great deal more than the academy ever did yet the flow of enemies never stopped. There was always more heretics, rogue mages and bandits to hunt and kill yet his specialty was always rogue mages. On more than one occasion they’d purged a castle of mages without taking a single casualty, using groups of anti-mages to suppress any chance of magic being thrown around.

Once a chapter house settled down, he was sent off to another in grave danger, to fight a new set of enemies and all the while losing comrades and friends in the endless war. To any soul who didn’t enjoy the endless death, it began to take a toll; there was always innocents slaughtered by both sides and questionable battlefield executions. But it was the will of the gods.Then some twelve years ago it all changed for Erasmus; he became something more than just an anti-mage. Something changed within him when they fought a large battle near a Well of Power, being that close to a source of magic and actively trying to suppress the rampant magic, some sort of reaction occurred and he was drawn into the mysterious object, feeling as if he was falling for years before blacking out.

When he woke up, he was in a bed in the Templar camp with his abilities mutated so far that even the anti-mages of the Order found themselves unable to cast their magic in his presence. He became an object of fascination; he spent less time on the front lines and more time at various academies, libraries and castles; discovering the full extent of his power and unsuccessfully trying to replicate it. He became a specialist soldier, used in only the most pressing occasions, they gave him a Silver and Onyx pendant of notable power, a relic of their order which would resist the effects of any magic which manage to pierce his own abilities. The next two years passed this way, being trained and studied like some laboratory experiment and vaery, very rarely getting out of the castle he was being 'accommodated' in.

Then the unthinkable happened; the gods were banished, the Kingdom of Rheinfeld fell into civil war and suddenly the Templars needed every man they could get their hands on. Erasmus returned to the frontlines but it was different now; suddenly they were a godless people fighting their former comrades and friends. Their land was shattered by the conflict; the men moreso. The last shocking revelation was the callous disregard for anti-mages now; they were fighting a battle against enemies who spurned magic so what was the need for men capable of suppressing it?

He very quickly tired of the servitude, the new Crusades and left to become a mercenary, he decided to travel the land; pay his way with his blade and skillset, to discover the world before retiring back to his merchant family with whom his career gold was banked with.

After 8 years of endless traveling, the occasional fighting and a sizable amount of gold obtained from the exorbitant prices a good Anti-Mage could charge the rich folk of the world he was just about ready to return home until the word of demons returning to the world came to his ears and that childhood spirit within him stirred demanding adventure and glory.

Motivation:
To purge the unholy demons from the land, as a chance to settle the land and maybe even bring peace back to him homeland, all the while gathering glory and prestige for himself; maybe even have a tale told about him or an epic sung in remembrance of his glorious and everlasting deeds.

[Asuras]

Appearance

Name: Aneura Shivan
Age: 20
Race: Human (Aasimar/Mechanist)
Sex: Female
Homeland: Rheinfield Republic

History: Malian and Belev Shivan, a commoner and a crusader, gave birth to Aneura during the low of an internal conflict in the ranks of the Rheinfield Templar Order, and while initially satisfied with the political atmosphere of their homeland, the Shivan family eventually removed themselves from the increasingly despotic hierarchy within the Order. The exodus alongside others of similar mind brought them to the newly formed lands of the Rhienfield Republic, certainly the type of place they wished their daughter to grow up in. Though clearly distanced from the Order and its militaristic lifestyle, Belev still maintained a high sense of honor and appreciation for the martial arts and respectable mind that came with it. He was a kind man, and devoted to the Republic's cause, but nevertheless pressed a certain behavior upon his daughter, Aneura.

Aneura was raised as if she were still a child of the Order; strictly, forcefully, and actively. Her friendships with other children were distant and rare, and celebrations few. On one particular birthday, however, while alone, Aneura discovered a rather tasty cupcake warm and decorated within her room, though she does not know where it had come from. When she had come of a skill to wield the sword and shield, her father often called her his, "Little poster child," though by no means famous or active militarily. Aneura adopted notable skill in use with the blade, but never quite went as far as her father expected her to. Throughout her young life, Aneura never truly experienced a sort of rage from her father, but in one particular freak incident, in which the right atmosphere and turn of events whipped up a storm in his heart, he lashed out angrily (but not physically) and forced her to enroll in the Republic's military, unsatisfied with her stagnation and half disappointed in his own ability to teach her.

Aneura eventually came through and willingly accepted his decree, entering herself into the young and hopeful Republic military at the age of fifteen. There she furthered her military career and skills, but never saw combat until one fateful mission into the dreaded Coldwood. Located in a particular section of the Republic's Eastern forest, the Coldwood had come to be known as a forest of surreal terror; it was beyond hope of saving with their understaffed forces, but at the very least they could stand to protect local villages from the horrors that scurried from its trees. Aneura was sent along with a convoy to take a single drive through the Coldwood and return to relay what they had recorded and seen. If they could better understand what went on in its roots and branches, they might have a better chance at combating it.

The party entered cautiously, and rightly so, as the reports of ghosts, dead, and demons flourished. Their convoy's mind for safety, however, would not be rewarded with an unscathed return. Their forces were attacked by an unseen force amidst the trees, and in the chaos many of their soldiers were lost, scattered, or left unheard of. Aneura was one such casualty, and as her eyes faltered, she could see the convoy and its disarray of warriors running into the forest. She was left for dead, face in the mud and weapon lost amidst the brush.

Aneura awoke with only her shield and a lack of direction, battered and hungry. The spooks that had attacked the party had since disappeared back into the trees, though she felt no less frightened. Struggling to find her way out of the forest, she collapsed of exhaustion under a gnarled tree and fell asleep once more. She dreamt that she was still in
the Coldwood, had developed angelic wings and was approached by an unseen figure, though by some hidden knowledge, she could understand that it was a demon.

Eventually you'll tear those wings from your back with your own hands, it spoke, taunting, with a surety that made her shiver. Aneura awoke to a voice in her head, the very same in her dream, which spoke of its nature and intentions. You have the blood of angels in you, and judging by your sincere and kind demeanor, I can assume that the minds of this land might, just might eventually turn an eye to the true nature of the gods' winged avatars, and once more the heavens will grasp the hearts of mortals. I am here to show them that these angels are no different than men; so easily corrupted.

The demon offered her unbridled demonic powers at her whimsy, and refused to leave her body until it got what it wanted. Eventually finding her way out of the forest (albeit by the help of her infernal parasite), Aneura returned to the Republic's ranks, but was sorely disappointed to encounter a priest in their presence. Detecting the evil living in her soul, she was cast out from the military and the Republic as a whole, scorned as a demon and, "No longer the Aneura that had entered the Coldwood."

Aneura became a wanderer within the lands of the Order, never staying in one area for too long in fear that they too might discover what lies within. Unlike the Republic, her fate if such an event were to occur would not be so merciful. Nearly without hope, Aneura was saved by the love of a being that preceded her; an angel. Going by the name of Terahneul, the angel bestowed a drive in her that washed away the muck that dragged her down closer and closer to corruption at the hands of the demon.

Terahneul told her to resist it. To fight back. To show how, in the face of untold power at her disposal, she would remain firm in cleanliness. From that moment on, Aneura resolved to do her very best to not only fight back against the demon, but to spit in its face all the same. She would take up arms against the Nine Hells, and slaughter their forces in the demon's very face.

And so it was that she moved to join the Queen's Blades of Renalta. There she could be accepted, she believed, for the curse she harbored, and there she could find the medium with which to enact satisfying revenge against the demon within. Since her encounter with Terahnuel, Aneura has remained a steadfast worshipper of The Mother, ignoring the scorn of others in Renalta that forsook such practices. Though steadfast in her decision to combat the demon in her, Aneura still occasionally brings forth the power granted to her in direst of situations.

Motivation: Aneura's motivation to join the Queen's Blade is founded upon acceptance, a drive to prove her worth, and revenge. The greatly religious nature of Rheinfield banished her from their lands due to the infernal creature inside her, and as the Renaltan kingdom is often seen as more accepting than others, she ventured to its lands in hopes that she might be seen with pity instead of fear and hate. Terahnuel's words inspired her to fight against the Nine Hells, and her hatred for the demon presses her to fell as many forces working for the Nine Hells as possible.

The aura only extends about ten feet around her person, and does not negate any inherently magical qualities to rooted entities' attacks. A materialized ghost that causes frightening visions to those it strikes, for example, will still retain such an ability.

Romance: I'm open to anything, really, but just know that I'm not one for romantic relationships occurring within a few posts. It needs to actually mean something for me to work upon it.
Play style: I prefer a mixture of action and dialogue-oriented missions. Slaughtering minions can be just as important and entertaining as debating with an important figure. I greatly prefer having choices in missions, as well as those missions having many endings. Anything and everything my character does should generally affect what happens to varying degrees.

Homeland: Renaltia

History

Jason's family can trace its heritage back to the Old Kingdom of Renaltia. 1000 years before the Drake family was once a well respected one. Who served the Kings of Renaltia faithfully since the kingdom was founded. During the time when the Gods attacked one of his ancestors died protecting the king as a body guard. The son of that knight knowing the kingdom was losses, threw down his knighthood and took his families fortune and made it into a thriving business.
He was born in the land that would later become the northern part of the Kingdom of Renaltia near the Templar order, the same land his ancestors owned in the old days. His families happiness short lived though when he was five his mother died during a winter giving birth to a younger sister. But she also perished that winter due to a sickness she caught. Leaving Jason to be alone with his father, a kind and generous man who taught him to act like a Knight of Renaltia, to serve and protect those less fortunate than him and never let evil men get what they want, saying evil only thrives when good men do nothing.

During the Kingdoms rebirth his father claimed the right over lordship over his families old lands, to serve the Kingdom once again. With his fortune he help greatly with funding the Queen's on what they needed, for two years he worked closely with the Queens, giving them access to their families journals and history which they kept closely guarded.

When Jason was 12 he was traveling to the capital with his father. During this trip his fathers caravan was attacked and killed by bandits, he of course when he saw his father fall tried to save him by fighting off the bandits. Untrained and young he was wounded in the attack and was knocked out, being left for dead. That's when he first came into contact with the Kings Rangers.

Just when the bandits were pillaging the caravan a ranger happened upon them. He was on his way to take care of another noble... Who wasn't cooperating with the Queens. When the bandits saw him they attacked foolishly, out of the ten men only three survived. After binding the men and searching for any survivors, the ranger found Jason, patched his wound and brought him and the three men to the nearest fortress. Medical attention for Jason and the dungeons for the three bandits.

The ranger left Jason there to complete his assignment and when he came back a month later he was about to take him home to his uncle, but felt inspired to offer Jason to live at the capital with him. The ranger explained he could go home and be like his father, and serve honorably as a knight of the Realm, in his own lands or he could live with the ranger, and serve the Queens more and become a Kings Ranger.

Jason though of his fathers words "Evil only thrives when good men do nothing." He also remembered his telling stories of Kings Rangers and how much they did for the Kings, more so than many knights at the time. He wanted to honor his father and help the Queens more than he could than being a knight. His uncle was a great man and he felt he should follow this ranger. So he accepted to be Ranger William's apprentice.

His training with William was different from most others due to the fact that William was stationed in the capital, spending a little more time in the castle than most apprentices, but after nine years he finally was skilled enough to be a Kings Ranger. But his mentor/ adoptive father in a way gave him an assignment he would have never had guessed, instead of taking up a post in the kingdom, he was assigned to the Queen's Blades.

Motivation: To make his father proud and honor to his family name. And for the Queen's and his duty as a Ranger

Kings Rangers Lore

In Renaltia 1000 years before The Kings Rangers were an Elite intelligence and reconnaissance force, respected and feared through out the world. During the time when the Gods showed their wrath almost all of the Rangers were killed, trying to protect the royal family. Though few did survive, one of which was with Princess Kouri when she was "frozen" in time. Afterwards when the surviving Rangers regrouped and found out Princess survived they decided to continue their duties by protecting her location from the Gods, as well as gathering all information of the kingdom so it can survive the ages. As well as keeping up on their intelligence of other kingdoms to aid the princess when she returned. But they decided to keep to the dark, keeping their group small they managed to stay hidden.
In the last ten years of the rebirth of Renaltia, the Kings Rangers have quickly regained their strength. As they where before, They're the eyes and ears of the Queens of Renalta, information gatherers and peace keepers of the kingdom. They don't answer to anyone but to the Queens, often being the Queens voice to her nobles or to other kingdoms if need be.

Skill set-

Ranger set of Throwing Knifes

As in the 2nd picture above. The larger of the two blades is made of far superior steel to normal blades (giving the blade a faint blue tint). It is longer than the throwing knife, made of a series of leather discs set one above the other and a short brass crosspiece. The blade is long and straight, nearly the size of a short sword. It is kept razor sharp on one side while the other end is thick and heavy.
The throwing knife is short with the same hilt design as the larger, but the blade is thin at the hilt, widens considerably down its length, then narrows quickly to a sharp point.
Both blades are balanced and both can be thrown if needed, while they both can be used in melee combat in a duel blade tactic.

Experience Traits
--Trait 1. The King’s Ranger - Whether formally trained or not, this character reflects some of the training of the once prevalent King’s Rangers, whom served faithfully and loyally to both the original Renaltan kingdom and the new one that has arisen from its ashes. They are masters of silence, especially out in the wilderness, and have learned how to spot and abuse weak spots in opponents... Though typically at a range, and this is most effective when they haven’t been seen as opposed to fighting openly and brazenly.

--Trait 2. Charming Rouge - Perhaps the most antiquated concept known to man, a dexterous person with a silver tongue can do wonders for making enemies feel sympathetic towards them, making guards turn a blind eye, or flirt their way past individuals in their way to reach their ultimate goals. This makes it more likely that enemies will spare your character in a fight, and makes it easier to convince neutral people to aid your character.

Conditions
--Trait 1. Clean Blood - Clean Blood: This character is known as a clean blood, a member of their race whom has for several generations been lucky enough to avoid crossbreeding into other species for one reason or another. Due to this they can spend two extra points on physical stats. On the other hand, there are several creatures envious of clean bloods throughout the world... Especially vampires and lycanthropes, who prize the blood as being their equivalent to top shelf wine.
Effect: +2 Physical points on character creation. Vampires and Lycanthropes are more likely to come after your character, as well as other... Estranged... Characters.

--Trait 2. Powerful Connection - This character has a connection with one of the most powerful characters in the world, be they powerful through politics or powerful through sheer force of arms, and for one reason or another has earned their attention and perhaps even their care. Either way, in times of great need or upon request, said character might appear to help them, delivering information, or saving them from a particularly nasty spot... All for reasons that only they know.
Effect: Grants your character a special connection with a legendary hero or villain of the realm, whom may come to your aid in times of great need or upon request.
Note: You may request one specifically or leave it up to the GM to draw one for you and PM it to you for your approval. Characters include but are not limited to: Queen Kouri, Sarah Darkhammer, Amanda the Archmage, etc.

--Trait 3. The Chosen One - There are two forces in this universe which attempt to keep balance against one another. Fate, the embodiment of order, and Destiny, the embodiment of chaos. While they are not living or sentient by standard definitions, they have throughout the thousands of years chosen champions for causes both small and large, but which nearly always change the world in some manner. Your character can receive such a fate or destiny, to either reject or accept with open arms.
Fate: Those who become a champion of fate usually pursue a cause which grants power over others, creates stability, or otherwise attempts to create order. These are usually more impactful of those around you, sometimes at the cost of themselves.

Unique
--Trait 1. Kings Ranger Apprentice- Having been training since 12, the apprentice is very accurate with his shots while moving or in awkward positions, very effective and rarely misses. He/She is also trained to be expert trackers. Also with the cloak is well known through out Renaltia and can intimidate common folk (ex: peasants, bandits etc.) and on occasions some weak minded nobles. They also are given specially trained horse that are bred for incredible endurance, they are often mistaken for ponies for how small they are, but despite that they are fast and smart, being taught many tricks to help the ranger in certain situations.

Name: Tromund ‘Trom’ Five-blade
Age: 28
Race: Human (Freeholds)
Sex: Male

Appearance

Art work by einhajar

Homeland: Wanderer

History: A Scoundrel and a Soldier of Fortune, Tromand . Raised under brutal conditions in the Freeholds, Trom was a street urchin, scrounging in the gutters and making a living as a “face”; luring unsuspecting travelers into traps laid by his street gang. As he grew older they started teaching him to handle a blade and take what he needed at its point though he much preferred to coax it out of his targets peacibly.

He out grew his gang in time, as they had low ambition and where happy with the routine, and so set out for “greener pastures” as he had heard foreigners say. He left and went to west to the Imperium where he worked as a con man in his own right, sweet talking the rich ladies and ambitious merchants out of a small fortune. Of course leaving a trail of broken hearts and empty coffers does not earn one a long and safe life.

Eventually the blades of his enemies grew too thick around him and he had to flee south around the Blood Sea. While not the easiest of journeys, he eventually washed up in the Pious and Pompous lands of Rhienfeld in the middle of the civil war. He worked for the Papacy, who were desperate for blades, and worked with them for some time until he grew bored with the work and up and left them in the middle of the night, moving south with a couple of other mercs who had grown dissatisfied underneath the Papacy.

They moved south and wound up in Renalta. Here, Torm heard the call for the Queens Blades and saw the potential for a position that would sate both of his desires for adventure and money.

Motivation: Trom is here to save the world, get rich, and have a wonderful time.

--Trait 2. Wanderer: Never staying in anyplacel ong enough to be called "Friend" and have it be truely meant, Trom has lived an adventruous life though he never knows where it might lead him.
--Trait 3. Soul Shard: During his travels in the imperium, Trom found himself in the possession of an intricately detailed falchion. Its pommel is that of an eagle and its cross guard looks to be its wings. The blade a magical sharpness to it, never growing dull or needing cleaned, and also has some other magic in it, magic that can be called forth to produce a blast of air capable of knocking a person off their feat. Because of this, Trom has named the blade Zephyr.

Unique
--Trait 1. Know How to Spot a Mark: as well traveled and experienced Trom is, he has learned to pick out the right man no matter the situation, whether it is talking his way past a border outpost or getting in the know on the dealings of a warlord, Torm has a sixth sense on who knows or has what needs and what angel he will need to play to get it.

Name:Eins Nimgrud
Age: 26
Race: Human
Sex: Female
Appearance:

picture

Her equipments are salvaged from the battlefield, mostly from the templars she had fought against when under the employ of the Papacy
Homeland: Kingdom of Rheinfeld

History: Born into a reclusive village somewhere near the outskirts of a forest, she was raised to be a farmer's daughter, tending the crops, churning butter, and when she was old enough, a goat herder. Eins would be tasked to bring the goats to a meadow not far from her home, and to tend to them until it was time to return. While it would sound repetitive and boring to some, it was the only life she knew off. Plus, she gets to see Wallace who herds his goats to the same meadow she did.

One day during a rather dreary day without Wallace, who had gone to another meadow with his father, one of the newly born kid from her herd got frisky and adventurous, bounding away happily away towards the forest. Utterly oblivious to danger or the ominous feeling of the place, the kid bounded into a cave, one Eins knew was but a hole in the hill, having taken shelter there before during unexpected rain.

She jerked suddenly, blinking in the fading sunlight. The kid she was chasing was sleeping beside it's mother, looking rather tired. Eins stood up from her usual seat under the oak tree, and went through her daily task, bringing the goats back to the pen. It wasn't until later that she realized she had no memories between the time she had stepped into the cave and when she had jerked awake under that oak tree. She had reassured herself it was but the heat and the stress of working, but the dreams she had for weeks after of sharp teeth and beings tearing into her flesh denied it was just stress. Thus,while her father took care of the goats, Eins went back to the cave.

She returned to her village later to find it ravaged by lycans, who tore apart at everyone they can catch. The village itself was burning down, the fires spreading fast. Eins herself would have been some lycans' dinner, if not for the mercenary band hired to clean out a bandit camp nearby. Having no other place to go, and understandably reluctant to remain in the village, she followed the mercenary band, the captain taking her in as his own. It was there she learned how to handle a sword, and learned about the thing masquerading as her left eye.

It was there that she earned her own reputation, and finally left the White Tiger mercenary group.

Motivation: She is in the Queen's Blade to be the next queen of... Oh wrong one. She is in the Queen's Blade to end the torrent of monsters coming into the world, and perhaps lower the number of those who lusts after her blood.

Stat Requirements: Strength 4, Fighter 2.

--The Underdog Always Wins: You're a fighter who doesn't give even when facing something three times your size. Stronger opponents are more likely to underestimate you, giving you the edge at the start of a battle and neutral parties are more likely to cheer for you, or even help you, in a losing battle. As well, underdogs have the benefit of intimidating other enemies nearby if they win against a superior opponent quickly and with light wounds to no injuries at all.

Effect: +2 Physical points on character creation. Vampires and Lycanthropes are more likely to come after your character, as well as other... Estranged... Characters.

--Ancestral Ghosts: When entering new areas, there is a chance that an ancestral ghost will appear to aid your character in some manner. Be that something as simple as being a guide, to something as crude as slitting the throat of a guard, or unlocking a locked door. Once used, the ancestral ghost leaves the area and may or may not reappear later. Ancestral ghosts have their own personalities and histories, and as such, it is worth noting that since most people do not lead evil lives, evil characters may have a harder time convincing their ancestors to aid them than good ones. On the other hand, good characters may have a harder time convincing their ancestors to do perturbing or morally questionable acts, even if it’s for the greater good.
Effect: Gives a chance for family ancestors--ghosts--to appear and aid the character based on their request.

--The Chosen One, Destiny: Those who become a champion of destiny usually pursue a cause which grants power over self, creates imbalance, or otherwise attempts to create chaos. These are usually more impactful towards the character themselves, sometimes at the cost of those around themselves.
Effect: When attempting to accomplish goals related to their fate or destiny, they gain bonuses to success, as it has been predestined. Conversely, when attempting to buck their fate or destiny, they may incur the scorn or wrath of fate and destiny.

Unique

--Unknown Eye: Her left eye is slightly discolored, as a result of the parasite that had burrowed into her head and eaten her original eye, and replaced it with it's own as it connected itself to her brain, and thus her whole body. In exchange for her being host, and providing it with food and shelter, it had granted her with a sort of short ranged extravision, letting her 'see' even when her own eyes cannot. Eins and the parasite shares vision of the eye.

Personal Section

Romance: Its alright for me, though it'd have to be reasonable. Falling in love with someone who have done nothing or have anything that my character feels loveable would be strange, no?

Play style:

It depends on what the situation calls for, and what my characters are. I'm ok with all of those, as long as it doesnt become too convoluted or drawn out.

Name: Laenaia Erltana
Age: 20-ish (Maybe older, maybe younger).
Race: Vampire
Sex: F (…maybe)
Appearance: (Closest approximation)

Homeland: Wanderer
History: For as long as she remember Laenaia has been living on the road, moving from time to time for one reason or another. Together with her being a vampire, this lead to a hard life and adopting a mostly reserved clothing during the day (like a thick cloak or wide hat, maybe both), although she may wear other clothing during the evening or in-door. She often found patronage in upper class societies wherever she go or whenever she went along with a merchant caravan, given that she manage to keep her status as a vampire initially as the people were usually wary or even downright hostile when they discover it soon after meeting, although they tend to be more...tolerant after awhile.

Things weren't always kind, as several times hunters and Templars had hunted her. Several times she managed to escape, but one time, the Templars had come close to killing her, only for her to be saved by the local crime lord that introduced himself as Alexander Bishop. In return for the help, Laenaia agreed to work for the man, especially since they both shared a common dislike against the Papacy and Templarate, although for a different reason. The work she did in the Underworld served its purpose, as on top of having places she could fall back on and some training on doing dirty work, she had gained a number of 'friends' and contacts that she could rely on during her travel.

Motivation: Something smelt nice this way....Of course, she said it differently and was more in line of "Demon infestation isn't good for me either."
