[OOC] Southward!

[Nymeria]

okay....Then can I make a mage who works for the rebellion?

[Marlowe]

@LordVoldemort Dramon is the one who's gathering people to send south to search for signs of a rebellion. XD

@Nymeria Well, we're not sure if there is a rebellion in the first place... we're just going south to see if there is. If you really wanted to make a mage that works for the rebellion, that means you'd be a bad guy and would constantly be separated from the main group, and I rather avoid that early on in the RP. ^^

[Nymeria]

@Ambra Unless other people wanted to play for the rebellion....

But I understand. I just can't see playing a mage who willingly works for the government that oppresses them. Unless they were begrudgingly doing it.

Maybe I won't play a mage. I'll have to brainstorm a bit more.

[Wick]

@Ambra

Okay I think I fixed it.

[Marlowe]

@Wick There's still the issue of being able to land everything she aims. Like I said before, that's impossible, because even deadshots miss.

I also just realized she started to practice after the war... the war was fifty years ago. Which means she should be 50+ years if she started after the war like you said. That also voids the mages killing the people in her village, since again, the Holy War was fifty years ago and there haven't been any wars since.

You say she studied combat from 10-14 years. That's a reasonable amount of time, but is there a reason she stopped? Soldiers study combat even though they may be experienced warriors. Practice makes perfect. :)

Enid Adair

Name: Enid Adair
Age: 24
Gender: Female
Country of Origin: Graelia
Weapons: Two large jagged swords and various knives are on her most of the time. She will on occasion leave one or both of the swords behind but she is always carrying knives. She is a dead shot and almost never misses what she aims at.
Abilities:

Appearance: Enid is 5'9" and 135 lbs. Her hair and eyes are both brown and her hair has a lot of waive and some curls. She is considered very pretty but she likes to keep her face and hair covered when in combat mode so people don't recognize her.

Personality: When off duty Enid is just 'one of the guys.' Since she is a warrior she spends more time with men than women usually, so they treat her as one of them. She is a good card player and can out drink many of the men. She has a good sense of humor and tends to be a pretty good listener. Most of the time she is laid back but when it comes to work she gets very serious.

Short Biography: When she was a child Enid watched a couple of mages kill a couple of people in her village, including her grandfather. After that attack she started studying fighting in combat and learned how to be stealthy and accurate with both her swords and knives. She has continued training every day to keep up her skills and agility. Enid is competent with her swords but her biggest threat to others is in her knife throwing. (She has been studying combat and all means of fighting since she was ten so about fourteen years- she didn't stop, she is only 24)

Enid has no love for the mages but she works as a bounty hunter for both mages and humans alike. Recently she offered her services to Lord Dramon Caerlight to tamper any war that might be brewing in the south. This trip doesn't bother her at all since she likes to travel and see new places.

Other: Enid loves dogs and strawberries. She is also open to finding a relationship.

I made my changes in bold so you see them. I had put the word almost after never somehow. I fixed that and I only saw a long long time ago as to how far back the war was so I changed it to reflect a random attack.

As long as you don't plan to ruin it, it sticks. XD

@Ambra So just wanted to ask, how are tomes created, what makes them have magical powers? The material that constructs it, the writing, the power of the one who writes it, the ink used to write it? Are they special for each person or some are mass printed?

Aram Vikkar, the Ex-Mage Hunter

"It shouldn't be too hard to get it through the thick skull of yours huh? I ain't coming back and that's final!"

---

Name: Aram Vikkar

Age: 30

Gender: Male

Country of Origin: Remulus

Weapons: Though he doesn't use it as much as before, he does have a well-maintained arming sword. With it coems two knives just in case he were to be disarmed. He is also in possession of a bow and a multitude of arrows that he still personally makes.

Appearance: Sporting unruly dirty blonde hair most of the time, he usually comes off as a lazy person. He typically loves running his hand through it or ruffling it to make it more messier. He has blue eyes - rather torquiose when you really look at it. He doesn't have much in terms of casual clothing. Aside frmo his chef's uniform when he is in work, and his old armor from when he was a mage hutner, there isn't much of anything left. He does have a brown cloak and normal traveller's clothing that he usually wears whenever he leaves to gather supplies or visit other kingdoms and whatnot. He stands at a height of 5'10 with a rather muscular build thanks to his years of training and hands-on experience from when he was a mage hunter, but isn't too muscular as to be considered bulky. He has multiple scars running across his body thanks to the numerous fights he has been in - with a mage or not.

Personality: Aram is a rather outspoken individual, unafraid of people's opinions on him changing when he does. He will say what he thinks should be said. He's straightforward and brutally honest, which can cause some problems when it comes interacting with someone sensitive. Other than that, he's a relatively nice and easygoing guy who knows when to have fun - especially when others need it. He only dabbles in two vices - smoking and drinking. Other than that, he's a decent person. He has a high tolerance against alcoholic drinks so he's not scared of spilling information when he's drunk. Despite his past, he has no ill will towards mages and finds them rather interesting. Outside of work, he honestly seems like a very lazy person. And like every person in Remulus, he's very easily irritated.

Having been through years of training, he knows how to pace himself when it comes to fights - and knows his own strengths and weaknesses. He knows he isn't in top shape because he hasn't been through the same arduous training as when he was a mage hunter, even though he still keeps himself in relatively good shape. When you look at him, you wouldn't really realize that he's a rather strategic person. After all, when you're fighting someone stronger than yourself, you'd have to find a way to survive the battle - and Aram is well-versed in the art of strategy. Unfortunately so, he's not used to working with others without the same training as him as he mainly communicates with hand and eye gestures instead of verbally speaking - as is the norm when you're in a group of mage hunters.

Short Biography: The Vikkar family is loyal to the reigning House in Remulus - the Vikary family. There has been some talk that the Vikkar family is actually a branch family of that House, but no one has ever spoken the truth about it. There is some truth to this rumor, as the Vikkar family is related to the Vikary family by blood from a time long past. However, the Vikkars decided to branch off from the main family because they wanted to become mage hunters, and wanted to keep that under wraps. Being under the spotlight as the kingdom's main house would eliminate the possibility of them ever getting complete privacy.

From a young age, a Vikkar child would be trained as a mage hunter - honed to hate the mages and to kill them, all while serving the Church. Aram was not an exception. Growing up in this kind of family would have usually made you cynical and jaded - taught at a young age that killing was right as long as the things you kill are mages. Aram, however, never fell into this kind of thinking. While he still served his family and the Church loyally, he felt remorse whenever he took a mage's life, or took them to Ivorytower. He finished his training when he was only seventeen years old, 'graduating' early because of him being a Vikkar. From then on, the only things that he could remember was avoiding magical shots, getting hit by said shots, cutting down a mage, cuffing a mage, reporting to the Church and the likes.

Because of his job, Aram never got to meet someone to spend his life with. However, when he was twenty-six years old, he was gravely injured. Trapped between mages with his squad slaughtered, he took on quite an onslought as he waited for reinforcements. People claim that he was lucky to be alive, and he believed that as well. Because of his injuries, he was put on temporary leave which then turned out to be his retirement as he couldn't come back for six months to recover. Then, he took on becoming a chef while being a part-time blacksmith. In the span of four years, former colleagues visit him freqeuntly to tell him to come back as he was already healed, but he turned down each offer and the Vikkar family was close to disowning him - claiming that he was unworthy to call himself one for being so weak. Recently, he had heard news of Lord Dramon, head of House Caerlight, was looking for soldiers to investigate rumors about a rebellion brewing. Aram wasn't planning on joining but he got a visit from his father who told him to join or face the consequences. Having no choice, Aram packed up his things, took on the mage hunter gear once more and set off for Graelia.

Other: Being a person raised in Remulus, he's used to traversing through wetlands. He's also rather good at swimming because of this. He has a pet falcon named Gurui - mainly used for messaging and the likes.

Aram has been seen still pracicing with his sword and going to a range to practice archery as he seems to have the innate want to use it despite not wanting to go back to mage hunting anymore. Given his years of experience, he's a rather good shot and proficient with the sword.

Having drank a special potion, he's resistant to magic but may still be killed by it if hit enough times.

Tell me if I need to change anything!

[Marlowe]

@Wick I would still rather prefer you leave out the "almost never missing" part because that'll make combat pretty dull, especially if it ever comes to PvP.

As for the mages attacking her village, it's still unrealistic. You can have it that it was a group of bandits that caused the most damage, and that there was a mage among them, but a whole cluster of mages doesn't make sense in this situation.

[Marlowe]

@Bishop Tomes are created by mages themselves, though the process isn't really specified. They're pretty much a mystery. All that's known is that they're created by mages (since they are the ones that come up with new spells), are copied down by mages, and are passed down by mages.

@Polaris North I see nothing wrong with Aram, though I'd like to know why his father said there would be consequences if he didn't join Dramon's cause.

[Polaris North]

@Ambra

Well, his father sees it as a chance for Aram to 'redeem' himself. See, because Aram is part of the family, he has to serve as a mage hunter. Since he had retired despite the fact that he could fully heal and can be returned to his top condition, his family started to see this as a negative thing and constantly wants him to get back to the fight. So, his father gives him this last chance or else, he will be driven out of Remulus and probably kicked ou to the Southernlands.

[Marlowe]

@Polaris North Aight! Accepted.

[Polaris North]

@Ambra

Since the CS is going to be permalinked, I assume that I don't have to post it on the Character Tab or am I still supposed to?

[Marlowe]

@Polaris North You can, cause I can permalink it from the character tab.

[POOHEAD189]

@Ambra I see you saw me creep creepin'

[Demon Shinobi]

I had ideas flowing for possible male status, but I won't be able to work on the cs until tomorrow!! Hoping to get it out as soo as I can!

[Wick]

@Ambra
I said a couple of mages not a cluster. There are always a few bad seeds. I did what you asked. If that isn't good enough I withdraw.

[Marlowe]

@Wick There are always a few "bad seeds" but mages don't usually travel in groups because that makes them easier to signal out. Not to mention, they don't just spontaneously decide to attack a random village and kill everyone there.

If you heard of Dragon Age, I've taken multiple aspects of it when it comes to mages. Mages aren't bad. Sure, there might be bad seeds, but they aren't really easy to come across since they don't go around and commit random acts of terrorism or violence because that means being killed.

If you don't agree with me on this aspect, then unfortunately this is when I can't do anything else for you. Your history is not realistic for this setting. If you don't want to change it, then it's fine, but that means you can't participate in this RP. Sorry.

[Wick]

@Ambra

Did you even read it. Half of what you are claiming isn't even correct. I said two men were killed by two mages. I'm too tired to do this with you. Maybe another rp but count me out of this one.

[Marlowe]

@Wick That's unfortunate.
