[OOC] Torn Realms (High-Fantasy) (Mid-High Casual) [ALWAYS OPEN]

[Emuxe]

Quick question, I don't know if this has been asked as far as elves go, but how old can they get?

@SanaChan

300.

[Chickn]

@Emuxe *Pops in* Would like to say that this looks interesting, and that I am currently brainstorming a character for this. Some Q's:

What are society's views on cross-race relationships? If they happen/are possible, what is the result of the offspring? (Not necessarily wanting to make some cross-breed, just curious what a Fae-Treant would be like)

What is the extent of a Fae's affinity for magic? Is it typically just nature-based magic, or does it extend to other forms? What about Elves?

Under Nephilim's header, you specify that Humani are blessed by Raziel. Does that mean that humans are the only ones that are capable of being blessed?

Armor/weapons enchanted by a dwarf's runes. Is that restricted to only enhancing strength/protection, or can it have different enchantments? Like a sword of flaming, etc.?

I apologize for the probably unnecessary questions at this point. I am really interested in this, and see so many possibilities.

[Emuxe]

@Chickn

Cross-race relationships aren't generally seen as strange, but cross-race breeding is incredibly difficult (hybrids are actually very rare).

Raziel typically grants the humani more protection, as he views them as one of the weaker races as they are not as closely tied to Terra as the other races. Any race can be blessed and become a nephlim, though.

Yeah, it's typically nature-based magic. The fae can be both male and female (they're like fairies and elves rolled into one).

They can only make strength/protection runes (dwarves can't create elemental runes), unless an elemental assisted in it's creation.

@Emuxe

elves live to 300 period? 300 pushing it? 300 on average?

[Soragoku]

@Scyntell@Shmektheshmuck can i get you guys to put your character posts in hiders? it helps keep it organized and viewer-friendly. thank you! :)

[Soragoku]

@Lawful Newtral

I'm working on a CS to post *rubs hands together*

@SanaChan

I'm interested, but I'm about to be too busy to be online for a few days over New Year's, so I'll doubt I will get a CS up till after then.

@Ezekiel

[Emuxe]

@Emuxe

elves live to 300 period? 300 pushing it? 300 on average?

@Soragoku

300 is pushing it. Like how humans live to be 100, and we know how rarely that happens.

[Scyntell]

@Scyntell@Shmektheshmuck can i get you guys to put your character posts in hiders? it helps keep it organized and viewer-friendly. thank you! :)

@Soragoku

Done

@Chickn

I'd say that races that most similarly resemble each other are possible and might be somewhat common. I could see Humani/Elvish, Humani/Dwarvish, and Elvish/Dwarvish being existant and decently common. Thoughts? @Emuxe

@Soragoku

Well, more common than other hybrid breeds, but still relatively uncommon. It'd be like a cat trying to mate with a lion, it just wouldn't work too well.

[Soragoku]

@Emuxe

Done! I had a lot of fun creating this character, it took me a while though because I had so many ideas and I had to finalize everything I wanted, and be consistent with the character's personality and philosophies.

Race:
Previously Humani, now Wraith (afterlife, ghost)

A little in depth, a wraith is when a restless soul passes, and it retakes a new supernatural form. It's physical body becomes a manifestation of the deceased's clothing and armor, its soul, and its memories. A wraith form is overwhelmingly more powerful than a living form, but is not indestructible. A wraith can be killed, and the spirit will remain restless for its eternity after death. Once a wraith has completed its task to become peaceful once more, its spirit will be released from the form.

Nephlim

Personality

Kaezira is of the INFJ personality category. INFJs have an inborn sense of idealism and morality, but what sets them apart is the accompanying Judging (J) trait – INFJs are not idle dreamers, but people capable of taking concrete steps to realize their goals and make a lasting positive impact. Kaezira is very kind and likes to help his allies and friends in any way he can. To people who do not know him, he is at first glance, very scary, as he is a wraith. But people who get to know him realize that this is only the hideous shell of a kind hearted, pure soul inside. Kaezira is emotionally unstable, and his emotions control him. When he is angry, he is very violent and rash. When he is upset, he is stubborn and close minded. Becoming enraged in battle is one of his greatest yet most dangerous weapons. He is usually a strategic thinker and very honorable in battle, but when enraged, he becomes relentless and merciless, taking out anyone and anything that opposes him.

3 Words:
Cold Winter's Wrath

Like(s):

Fire Magics and Fire Elementals.

Want(s):
Kaezira's goal is to avenge his fallen people, and protect Terra from evil. He has such a passion for magic, that he dreams to become the most powerful magic through the entirety of history.

Fear(s):
His biggest fears are wasting the second chance he has received to avenge his people, in the form of reanimation, and not being able to protect his current friends and allies from destruction, once again. He constantly seeks to become more powerful to ensure the safety of everyone around him, and those he swears to protect.

History

The Past

Kaezira was born as one of the Vinterkin tribe, native to the north, inhabiting the mountains. He was named after a legendary Vinterkin hero, who also became a wraith after death. The Vinterkin are the only peoples indigenous to the north. There are many beasts, but no other tribes or people. The Vinterkin are a family tribe, they put their fellow tribe members before themselves, and they protect their tribe at all costs. The Vinterkin are territorial, whats theirs is theirs, and the only way anyone else can have it, is if they kill the Vinterkin first, which is not an easy task. The Vinterkin are fierce warriors. The children, boys and girls, are trained at young ages to fight with their signature ice magics. Many of techniques using their unique magic have been created and mastered by many of their kind over the years. Kaezira especially was adept in using the Vinterkin's ice magic. He was a natural born battlemage, his efficiency with magic came with little effort needed. He was very determined to become a great wizard, his ultimate goal being becoming known as Terra's most powerful and respected wizard. He would hope to learn other types of magic to accompany his natural ice magic.

Kaezira was son of the head of the tribe, the Hødvig, "Tauzin the Mighty". Tauzin Fjellborn was a strong, burly, pure hearted and loving man, and he was the Vinterkin's fiercest warrior. He fearlessly led the Vinterkin through everything they had endured. His mother, Haelden, passed soon after Kaezira was born. Haelden was a very loving partner to Tauzin, and she had stuck with him through sorrow and triumph. Kaezira, being the son of the Hødvig, was expected to become the new leader once Tauzin had passed. This brought him great distress, as he looked up to his father has his hero. Kaezira wanted to be just like his amazing father, but feared that he could not become as strong and fearless as his father, and would be a poor leader to the Vinterkin.

One seemingly peaceful night, a terrible event sealed the Vinterkin's fate. An unknown evil army attacked the Vinterkin villages, mercilessly killing everyone in the tribe. Many woke and fought to defend their tribe and home. Battle raged, but the Vinterkin could not put up a strong fight againts the fire the evil army used against them. Kaezira and his father were the last two of the Vinterkin standing, and they fought alongside each other until their very last breath. After putting up as strong as a fight they could, Tauzin fell first before Kaezira's eyes. The sight of his home village burning, his people perishing, and his father's death enraged Kaezira. His full potential was unleashed, and he fought against the evil army with all of his power, though it was not enough. Kaezira took down many foe, but he was eventually overcome by the army's natural advantages.

Soon after the battle, and the evil army's leave, Kaezira's spirit was reanimated as a wraith. Legends say, there was once, long ago, a hero of the Vinterkin named Kaezira. He was the guardian of the Vinterkin. In an important battle, the hero Kaezira was slain, and all moral was lost for the Vinterkin warriors. They quickly started to be overcome by the opponents, but Kaezira's vengeful spirit awoke as a wraith. The hero fought effortlessly against the foe with amazing power, and eventually won the battle with ease. He was once more at peace, knowing that his tribe was safe, and his spirit was released by the wraith form.

Kaezira knew he had to eradicate the evil army that ended his tribe to lay his spirit to rest, but he knew that even in a wraith form, he could not overcome them on his own. He soon set off travelling, seeking to further master his power and avenge his people by defeating the evil army.

In the 7 years that passed, Kaezira met many wizards, battlemages, mages, sorceresses and sorcerers who taught him lots about magic, but he was only ever able to use ice magic. At the age of 20, Vinterkin are given a title that they will be acknowledged by. When Kaezira turned 20, his whole tribe was lost, so no naming ceremony could take place. Instead, he decided to give himself his own title, to uphold tradition. He decided on "Kaezira of the North" because he is the last of his kind, indigenous to the north of Terra. He worked as a mercenary for many years to help him practice and apply his magic that he learnt in battle. Rarely did he ever face any real threats, but when he did, he learnt immensely from the battles, and he became more powerful because of them. After becoming immensely proficient in magic, it became more difficult to find wizards who could teach him anything, as he was more powerful than any other magic user he met. He sought out Raziel, the Avenging Angel, the Leader of the Nephlim, one of the two creators of Terra, and the only one who Kaezira thought would be more powerful in magic than he was. Kaezira traveled to the Institute and met with Raziel. Kaezira bowed down, and asked of Raziel to be taught further mastery in magic. Raziel denied his request, but offered him a position as an Arch-mage in the Nephlim faction to help him further master his sorcery on his own.

The Present

Kaezira is an arch-mage of the Nephlim faction, a highly respected and followed position in the faction. Kaezira is known throughout Terra to be the most powerful mage alive, even in knowing little about other types of magic besides ice magics, he has such a mastery of it that makes him unequalable in power. Many magic users throughout history have been considered to be more powerful than he is, but Kaezira's goal is to become stronger than them. Once he passes, he hopes to be unsurpassed and unequaled in power of future magic users, making him the most powerful magic user ever to exist.

Kaezira has many nephlim apprentices that he trains to become great defenders of Terra. He spends most of his time in his quarters, studying and practicing magic. His best friends mostly consist of other magic users who are from the Nephlim faction or are neutral. He and his friends use each other to become more powerful magic users. Kaezira's most important projects are learning to use other magics alongside his greatly powerful ice magics, to become the strongest magic user in history, to identify the army that wiped out his tribe and eliminate them all, and to protect Terra from all evil.

Memories

- Vinterkin feasts.
- Roasting Marshmallows at fires during the night.
- Learning to hunt, and going on hunting trips with his father.
- Practicing and learning magic.
- His tribe being attacked.
- His father's death. He uses it as a catalyst for becoming enraged in battle.

I tried to put emphasis on him being the most powerful magic user alive, hope you understood that after reading.
