@Hero - check the pairing list and find somone vwho's unpaired, read through their character description, and find one you'd like to partner with. Contact that character's RPer either in this thread or PM to ask if they want to partner with you.

@Izaka Sazaka - thanks for the appreciation! I'm trying to remember which RP we'd met in before...?

[KabenSaal]

Name: Emily Kabal
Age(15-25): 18
Gender: Female
Appearance: (Dress and all)
Personality: Emily can, coming from a noble family, appear pretentious and snooty at times, but this is exactly how she wants to come off. THe lower riff-raf have no place fraternizing with someone of her high station, begone peasant.

She can also have bouts of nuttiness, often brought on by people talking, looking at, breathing the same air as, or existing within the same square mile as her lovely Casina, but can also just spontaneously come out of nowhere. A good example would be 'i'm a little tea pot, short and stout... this is my handle, smash the tea pot, it's evil! it doesn't deserve to live die! die! diiiieeeee!'. She can, as shown above, be rather possessive of her things, and sees people she likes as her things.
Equipment: Everything. She has a train of servants to carry everything a young woman would need in her life, and makes use of it all at some point or another.
History:Emily was born into a noble house, where her parents, and family for many generations where known to be insane on occasion, thus sprouting the unofficial name for the family residence 'The Gilded Asylum'. Of course, it wasn't really an Asylum, asylums keep the crazy in, but in Emily's house, the crazy flourishes. As a child, and a teenager, and since birth really, she had been given everything she wanted, and taught to stand above the mud covered peasants who are always crying about being repressed, bloody peasants. One day she was staring out of the window, and saw a young peasant girl that she would later learn was called 'Casina Regulus'. She told her father that she wanted this girl, and thus the great emotional bond between the two began, with a kidnapping, obviously.
Paired with: Casina Regulus
Emotional bond description: Stockholm Syndrome
Artifact(Knight only): The Barbed Spear of Death.
Artifact description/pic: .
The spear has two fuctions, depending on how it is used. The first, close quarter attack that strikes a fatal blow that always pierces the opponent's heart and ruins their body from within with its thousand iron thorns. The second function, is activated when thrown. Emily leaps into the air and pours her energy into the throw, launching the spear at the intended target,. Unlike the first function, it will not always hit the opponents heart, but instead seemingly split itself into multiple spearheads and bombard a wide area for massive destruction. However, once thrown, Emily will barely be able to stand since all her energy has gone into the throw

UPDATED: Newstyle CS. Not yet approved by GM.

Mage

Name: Ishye

Age(15-25): 17

Gender: male

Appearance:

Personality(you can keep it basic to RP it out if you like): Shy/Cautious around people. This means his mischievous streak normally catches people unawares.

Disabilities(optional): Ishye has spent a long time away from human society, added to the fact that he was so young when he left his intuitive social ability is somewhat lacking and his moral compass is somewhat skewed. Whether you'd call this a disability or not -shrugs-

Equipment: Woolen shirt and trousers. Flint short spear, balanced for throwing. stone 'knife'. Body paint made from woad leaves.

History: When he was young Ishye lived in a small village, his parents were local farmers and they had a happy and content life there. The village was situated very close to an extremely large forest. A group of bandits set up in the forest and began raiding the area and attacking people on the road. The village wasn't touched, the town watch was far to large for the small bandit group to overcome however a few farms were lost. Eight year old Ishye, not quite having a realistic grasp on the world and having grown up listening to stories of hero's decided to hunt the bandits down himself! One night he snuck out of his home and taking one of his fathers farming scythe's headed to the forest. Unfortunately his adventure didn't end quite how he had hoped. He did not find the bandits, infact he went so deep into the forest that he could no longer find his way back. He does not know what happened to his parents, the village or the bandits. After a week of walking trying to escape he gave up. He found himself a place to sleep, high up in a large willow tree where the branches joined to make a safe enclave.

Some years late (He had no way of counting the days), the sound of footsteps alerted Ishye to the presence of a human, he'd long been out of contact with humans but he still remembered why he had come to the forest, the bandits. He stalked towards the footsteps, careful to keep quiet, a makeshift flint shortspear at his side. Needless to say the redheaded girl he found marching through the woods was not what he had expected, in his surprise he must have made some noise, stepped on a twig or brushed past a bush too forcefully for the girl spun round revealing a sword at her waist. (< Subject to change depending on what my pair thinks :) )

Paired with: Valeria Vicinte

Emotional bond description: Teacher/Student bond. Perhaps a little bit of awe. Ishye left home to become a hero, he'd grown up hearing the tales and off he went to start his own adventure. Some years down the line and even he can tell he has slightly missed the mark. In his eyes Valeria encompasses all that a hero should, she is hardworking and dedicated towards honor and justice. Ishye may have failed once, but perhaps if he can follow such an example he too can be a hero, though there are many pitfalls along that path, his loose understanding of the concept of ownership being one of them.

Preferred element: Air, Storm.

Casting style: QuickCast Offense.

Ishye primarily focuses on a multitude of small attacks to keep an enemy off balance and on the defense whilst giving his knight a chance to.. well do her job.

Familiar(optional): Kee

Familiar species and description/pic:

A black panther with something of the shadow about it. It has the ability to 'blink' (teleport short distances) from shadow to shadow, if you lose sight of him be wary for he will be at your throat in moments.

Other(optional):

PS. Please PM me if you need someone to pair with!!

[Falconi]

With my partner out and some important things coming up at work this RP looks too bid for me, so I bid you a farewell until next time.

[Rancealot]

Name: Renee Rootfellen
Age(15-25): 17
Gender: Male
Appearance: Renee stands at 5'10" with spiky red hair and black eyes.
Personality: He is a man who is always trying his best to get stronger through training and sparring. As long as you can refrain from calling his name a girls name, he is a mostly friendly person who tends to rush into things before thinking them through.

Equipment: A bag full of mono colored shirts and pants.
History: The youngest in a forgotten, small village, Renee spent hours on end training to become a guard like the other men. Being a klutz, he found himself unable to utilize any form of weapon and resorted to learning fist-to-face combat. Over the years, his wanderlust got the better of him and he decided to leave the village to find new lands to grow strong. During his journey through a swamp, he met a pariah by the name of Jurd Fennisk. From there a beautiful friendship arose of Renee punching things, and Jurd tending to his many injuries afterwards.

Paired with: Jurd Fennsik
Emotional bond description: FRIENDSHIP

Artifact(Knight only): Entumecido: The Anesthetic
Artifact description/pic: Entumecido is a shiny but otherwise transparent film that covers Renee like a sort of armor. It effectively numbs any form of pain the user would receive, and allows him to fight unhindered even with broken bones or torn ligaments. When the artifact is called away, internal damage is healed at the expense of the inability to move or call back the artifact for a period of time.

[Parser]

Name: Shiloh Santos
Age: 19
Gender: Boy
Appearance: Shiloh is a short, somewhat overweight boy with dark-tanned skin, short greasy black hair, and a sad little non-mustache.
Personality: He's extremely relaxed, possibly because he suffers from narcolepsy and is always half-asleep.
Disabilities: Narcolepsy
Equipment: Clothes, a pipe, lots of exotic plants, a brazier, and a comfortable pillow
History: A transfer student from a the faraway kingdom of Dormos, the Land of Dreams. Shiloh's presence is a result of an old treaty which long story short means Dormos has to send some guys to the academy as part of their end of the agreement. It's complicated and not really important.
Paired with: Simon Courcelles
Emotional bond description: Shiloh met Simon after a strange encounter in the 'White Castle' tavern. It was a long and arduous journey where they bonded over their love of food.
Preferred element: Smoke (Air/Fire)
Casting style: Medium Support
Familiar: Pablo
Familiar species and description/pic:

pic

Pablo is a huge sloth. He has like a little garden on his back and is super soft and pretty tough I guess.
Other: Like all people of Dormos, Shiloh is superhumanly strong and durable, but gets weaker the longer he stays up.

OK, I just read all of the CS's and I am finding 1 very common issue. Many characters seem to be gifted with magic, or already been trained as a knight. I probably should of mentioned it, but I wasn't planning for that, I was looking for something like this: You just joined a school, and you have just gained the ability to use magic, but you are still clueless, or you now have the strength to fight with a weapon, but you can wield a sword about as well as a horse. This was where the progression was to come in. It isn't all about drama or just fighting. It doesn't matter who is the best with a sword, or who can already cast spells like a badass. This RP is supposed to be a bunch of pairs of people thrown into something they may or may not be able to handle. So those of you who dont have a partner, pair up, and design your characters in unison, create a history for them, give them the ability to blossom into something badass, not already be it. (Oh, Drake, your the biggest offender by far.)I would prefer if you have already made a character, but not found a partner for them, to find someone, and then you both can format your characters to make a bond for the two that will work for the RP, allowing room for them to grow (or shrink) in whatever way that you desire.

IRL the age most men were knighted was like, 16 or 17. Training begins from when they were like 8, if I'm remembering right. On top of that, there's no reason why an aspiring knight as old as twenty-five shouldn't have some form of combat training or experience. At the age of 25. Even our modern military can have an 18 year old battle-ready in just a few months.

I think 'Knight' was just a term, and we aren't actually 'Sir whoja' because in them days women where never knighted at all. The mere idea of it would get you shunned from society.

[Jerkchicken]

Then what's the point of the name if I don't get a horse?

We aren't Knight knights. We are just Knight class.

[Parser]

Do freeforms even have classes?

[Jerkchicken]

But a knight class would involve horses and knight stuff though

[Professor_Wyvern]

Name: Simon Courcelles
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Appearance: Simon is a fairly tall, pale boy. He has short blonde hair, and a fairly pronounced chin, with a thin layer of hair growing on it as he is trying to grow out a beard.
Personality: Simon is typically on edge, due to his constant fearful nature.
Equipment: Clothes, a Text-book on Political Treatises, A White Flag, a Personal Notebook.
History: Simon didn’t want to be a knight, all things considered he wanted to be a Scribe, and he was always told he had good handwriting. But unfortunately, Simon came from a long line of proud knights. Though this wouldn’t be a problem, except Simon was the oldest male, and was destined to take over as the Knight of the House, but Simon was able to convince them not to teach him knighting the “old-fashioned” way, instead opting for an Academy, where he hopes all the lessons will be book learning.
Paired with: Shiloh Santos
Emotional bond description: Emotional bond description: Simon met Shiloh on a highly strange (and terrifying) encounter after eating at the 'White Castle' tavern. It was a long and arduous journey where they bonded with each other. In particular they bonded over their love of food.
Artifact(Knight only):
Expeditious: The Breakneck
Artifact description/pic:

Picture

These boots allow Simon to run at incredible speeds that the human brain could not even process.
Other: Simon does not like fairy-tales because more often than note they are true regarding the horrific monsters.
