WARNING: Blood gore, sexual themes, religious and racial themes may be expressed in detail. Recommended for 18+.
This is the Descended first arc.





Rules. They're fun right?
No godmoding or powerplaying as usual.
No sex or cybering in explicate detail over the board.
RPGuild rules apply.
If your character about to die and you choose to save them a dice roll must occur to decide if they live or die. Another must be done for their level of Ascension.
No infinite stamina, magic, or weapons unless said so by the GM
Respect and pay attention to each other both OC and IC
NPCs made by players other than GM will not have significance to the main story.
The main story comes into priority over your characters stories.
Try to make at least 2 paragraphs per post.
GM is master of the domain, creator of order. And you may call him Rai.

Dice Roll logic: For a fatal wound to kill your character a roll of a six sided die will be made. The result is 3 and below they die. The Ascension level if you choose to Ascend will be done in a similar way. You will choose 3 possible things your character can become through Ascension and a dice roll will be made to see which is chosen.

Ascended Adv/DisAdv
Advantages: Ascended beings are usually older, sometimes significantly making them capable of being more wise and adept. They can perform ghost abilities such as dimensional stepping (going through objects via a parallel dimension.) Their bodies are made out of soul, which is fiery for descendants of dragons. Making them able to set things on fire with their very bodies and even move as controlled flames. Sometimes reaching the point where natural weapons cannot harm them at all. Their affinity for magic is increased. They are freed of flesh and blood's desires and needs such as eating or sleeping. They cannot feel pain and some of the most powerful are indestructible by natural means. Limbs can be absorbed if dismembered to regrow without issue, or if one limb is missing it can be reformed with ease, even beheading.

Disadvantages: Amnesia befalls all characters Ascended so they must relearn what they once knew. They must have strong will to stay in their original forms so many Ascended become animals, weapons, objects or simply fade away. Anything that puts out flames can potentially kill most Ascended, as their bodies are made of flames. Flaming bodies without control hurt or kill anything in it's path and can fade away with the wind. Ascended have little strength physically compared to that of Descendants. Any character with slight control of their soul and magic affinity can damage a Ascended and if an Ascended's form is damaged, dismembered or worse it depletes some of their magic gauge to fix the deformity immediately.

Magic
Magic is the interdimensional powers of a god written into a soul and broken down into limited constructs. Think of coding in video games, or the matrix. Imagination, character, training, skill, affinity are all factors. The soul makes the magic possible, the mind makes the soul work. The atmosphere and other dynamics can affect the success in even casting a spell. With developed skill, spells can be cast at different levels, a simple flame spell can be expanded to summon fireballs. A spell meant to put one person to sleep can put down a dozen as well as give them nightmares. It's related to one house and the doors will open depending on the house you are in. Coincidentally a lot of magic is learned from schools or teachers in this world. But the more advanced arts are hidden and require self teaching or special training.

There is a gauge for magic. Your soul is linked to your magic directly giving it the code to be able to push out spells with little to no cost depending on your character's training in the art. There are no limits on magic use most of the time as most spells are not tremendously powerful. For those who are well taught in the arts of magic or who use the more powerful spells their spells must have a limitation to it in order to be accepted.

If you happen to throw fire. Ask yourself some questions on realism.
How fast is it going?
How hot is the fire?
What length can it go before fizzling out? etc.

Technology
The level of technology is high. Mostly weaponized, medicine, and aquatic technologies may I add. Other technologies are mostly modern with the old world mixed into it. Magic sees to the comfort of nomadics and technology sees to the life styles of the average citizen you could see today. This being said the world is still very harsh and science is a means to an end as most scientific pursuits are superseded by magic. Only three kingdoms have become pioneers in the road of technology. Fotia, Tearia, and Nero. Fotia focuses on weapons and heavy machinery. Tearia has come very far in their water exploration technology, pillaring on the most advanced Kingdom if they were not so secretive. Nero is medically advanced, curing most diseases and sicknesses that has befallen their people. There are no space advancements besides highly advanced satellites within their skies that are both weapons and more. Other planets have been observed but few have gone beyond their realm to visit the solar system above just yet. Despite their advancement, they have chose to stay put so to speak. And work on true dimensional warping.

Well, here's hoping... Oh, and, I hope you're okay with him being very dragonlike, yet not quite a dragon.

Quote: "This was supposed to be a freeze ray, but I think it works better as a toaster."
Name: Sol Ignis
Age: 24
Ascended: No
Race: Sajukai/Bleek
Species: Descendant
Gender: Male
Sex Preference: Hetero
Abilities/Powers: He prides himself in his inventions... however, they never work correctly, pretty much forcing him to rely on his fire and lightning magic instead. He is also quite fast, however, his scales aren't as tough as they should be, making him somewhat vulnerable to weapons. He is also capable of flight, though, he's not very good at it, yet.
Lightning Bolt - A simple magic spell which fires a small lightning bolt from one of Sol's claws (usually the claw on his pointing finger). The lightning bolt is actually created by firing a single electron from Sol's claw into the enemy, the rest of the lightning bolt relies on the attraction between Sol's positively charged claw, and the now negatively-charged enemy.
Fire Breath - With Sol's mixed Sajukai and Bleek heritage comes some fiery abilities, one of which just happens to be the ability to breathe fire. In order to do so, Sol usually casts a type of fire magic inside his own mouth, and uses his own breath to spread the otherwise small flames around his foes.
Slice up - A rather simple attack which utilizes either Sol's sword, or his claws to slash at the enemy nearly non-stop, doing so at high speeds, however, due to how quickly the attack is performed, there's little to no control over where the enemy's getting attacked.
Fire Ball - A more focused attack than fire breath. For this one, Sol focuses his fiery magic in his hand until it forms into a ball, after which, he throws it at the enemy.
Lightning Grid - A more advanced lightning magic where Sol creates a grid using his lightning bolt attack built to hit as many enemies as possible. This magic takes a lot out of Sol, and he only uses it when he's in a bind.
Weapons: A strange, bronze-colored sword that has electricity sparking off of it which was apparently supposed to be a combination laser gun and blade. Obviously, that didn't work, and he looked back at the idea, and figured that it was just plain stupid anyways. He also carries around various, random, malfunctioning rays, most of which he's forgotten the original use for.
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 205lbs
Physical appearance: Sol resembles a dragon much more than a Seraphin, and as such, his body is completely covered in scales, which are a bright, golden color. He also has a four-foot long tail, and two wings, each of which match his body in size. His snout is somewhat long and skinny compared to other dragonlike descendants like him. The scales on his underbelly are a silvery white, and his eyes, wing membranes, and claws (which measure in at a measly two inches long) are all a red color. Those are the only things that make him stand out from the other Bleeks... well, that is, if you don't count his ridiculous choices in clothing, which includes his weird green hat, goggles (which, by the way, don't do anything), and his 'trademark' green coat with a bronze trim. His pants are actually somehow normal, being simple denim jeans that are just about the correct size. All of his clothes are obviously fitted to include tail and wing holes. While he is dragonlike in appearance, he has a bipedal stance, even if he stands on his toes rather than his entire foot. He also has four fingers on each hand, or rather, three fingers on each hand and an opposable thumb on each hand as well. He also always carries around a plain brown bag that has all of his failed inventions in it... and thankfully, he hasn't invented too many things yet.
Personality: Sol is somewhat energetic, and very curious about how certain things work, however, he can seem pretty distant towards his friends, especially newer ones.

History: Sol was an oddity, not only because his father is from Fotia, but also because neither his mother nor his father were bipedal, yet, he was. The first few years of his life were fairly normal, save for the fact that he had to hide the color of his eyes and wings to keep him, or really, his family from being judged by the other families. Sol never really liked the idea of Ascension, mainly the fact that you had to die, and somehow trust that you'd still exist for some reason, the fact that his peers would almost never keep quiet about it. It seemed to Sol that these others were basically giving up on life over some sort of idea that what comes afterwards would be better. Sol had some minor aptitude with magic, but that was nothing to write home about, and he was simply 'average' when compared to the rest of his kind. This cycle of 'Get a C in magic, pretend to listen to peer's opinions on Ascension, go home, and repeat' went on for about thirteen years, which seemed to be how long it took his father, Magmus, to figure out that Sol was bored with his life. That was when Magmus, despite Luminis, his mother's, complaints, took Sol to his homeland. It was there where he finally found his passion, inventing. The place was so different, almost opposite from where Sol grew up, and, for a while, the only place Sol knew about. There were so many different machines everywhere, and they seemed to work on something that wasn't magic, and something that was actually visible, physical, and impossible to disprove. Of course, by then Sol had noticed something had... left his mind. Something wasn't inside of his head anymore... it was weird, but, at this point, he didn't actually care. He had to know how to make these things.

The three weeks Sol spent in Fotia were amazing to him. It took him a little while, but, after asking some of the locals how they make some of their machines, Sol finally figured it out... kinda. Sol, after figuring out what he needed to know, spent the last hour of his vacation gathering supplies to make various machines with. Sol's father, who was happy simply to see him happy, paid for all of the supplies (which wasn't that much) for Sol, who, being as young as he was, was completely broke. During the trip back, all Sol talked about was how he was going to make this trinket, or the next gadget which didn't seem to bother Magmus at all. Once Sol returned to his home, something seemed off, he seemed more restrained in his thoughts, which was reflected by his first few inventions, which were a flashlight where the glass the light passed through was of a smiling Seraphin face (basically, just this emoticon :) ), a bubble-generating gun, and a pillow. Not only were these inventions not what he had in mind, but they've already been invented before. Frustrated with his 'work', Sol left Vrondi for a little bit, and the moment he left, he noticed something... that thing... it left again. Sol tried inventing just outside of Vrondi, and finally came up with his first invention worth mentioning, his sword. Sure, the laser part didn't work as he had intended, and the thing seemed to randomly spark electricity around the edges of the blade, but he felt that this invention was finally his own. He finally made his own thing, now he just had to find some way of doing this, while still at home.

Yes, every time Sol went back into Vrondi, he was incapable of inventing anything that could be used to harm someone, something that annoyed Sol quite a bit. He asked himself how he could possibly stop this 'thing', which turned out to be the bubble which protected the city filtering out any 'bad' or 'impure' thoughts, from affecting his work... of course, while Sol was under the influence of this brain-washing sphere, he was bored. Nothing seemed sufficiently exciting, or even really fun. Unfortunately, he had to put off inventing until he found a solution to his dilemma, which, in no less than ten years later, somehow came in the form of a crazed beggar, uttering complete nonsense to passers-by. The descendant seemed completely unaffected by the bubble's mind-prying influence, as evidenced by his anger towards certain, snootier, members of the community. However, Sol wasn't completely convinced, yet, and as a test, Sol walked up to the descendant, sword drawn. The descendant shouted in fear at Sol's weapon, prompting Sol to sheathe his sword and ask the descendant how he became immune to the bubble. The descendant pointed to his tin foil hat, which seemed completely weird to Sol, who initially laughed at the man, and returned to his home. Once there, he decided to put together a test, and made several hats out of several materials. Sol tried all of them, however, none of them seemed to work, that is, until he tried, almost as a joke, the tin foil. As a part of his test, he left the bubble, put on the hat, and then re-entered. Every other time, he'd still feel the bubble's influence on his mind, however, this time, he was free. His mind wasn't effected by the bubble with the tin foil hat on, however, he didn't want to draw attention to the fact that he had escaped the bubble's influence, so he put on the dumbest looking hat he could find, and, just to draw more attention away from his tin foil hat, he put on a pair of goggles. After that was done, Sol went on an inventing spree, finally able to create inventions with his own mind and in his own home. Within the last year of his life, he came up with three new inventions, none of them worked properly, but at least these failures were his own.

That seems about right.

I'll see what I can do. For now, I don't have the current time available to read everything.

Btw, what's the current level of technology in the RP? Low-medieval-ish?

Take your time. I am jolting this thing to life as we speak so bare with me. Keep the questions coming if anyone has any. I was asked by another possible member some things on magic, and Ascended which I put on the opening post to see. The more questions answered the more I figure out what I want to do with this "World" of mine.

To put it out there. Once characters are accepted you can post, positioning your character where ever you wish. As long as they see the catastrophic event that's about to happen. :D

#Lugia 'stole' my idea for a character

Will edit my app into this post, although it's not likely to be complete.

Btw... I'm actually younger than everyone else, so to speak. As in, I'm 15. However, I won't be disturbed by the elements of discrimination and violence; I've been longing for that for quite some time, actually.

RED Pyro, you've just given me an idea- oh, bloody hell. Ignis means 'fire' in Latin (and Sol means 'sun' in... probably Spanish), so it's pretty obvious that role's been taken. Oh well, I'm outta ideas for anything else... talk about a lack of diversity.

#Lugia 'stole' my idea for a character again


...I'll admit I have very little time on my hands.

'Sol's' name was supposed to be explained as a sort of take on the fact that he was a mixed-race.
-the sun is the main source of LIGHT
-the sun is extremely FIERY
so, that's why. Sure, he's still got some fire-based abilities, but, since he's not a pure-bred Sajukai, his flames might not be the strongest.
