[OOC] Destined to Save the World [CLOSED]

[phantori]

The royal family was gathered in the square, the head mage standing in the center, chanting. It had been a hard year, and information had arrived that Baron Kovelch had been using his wealth to amass an army and begun setting it upon the villages on the outskirts of the kingdom. But there had been a prophecy. At their darkest hours, six young men and women from a place far away would come to save them all. There was a hush as everyone present held their breath until a bright flash of light lit up the square.

When it faded, four teenage boys and two girls stood on the cobble street that had been bare a moment before, all looking very confused.

Setting

Okay, so the kingdom our characters have been sent to revolves around the use of technology as a form of status. Basically, the harder you try, to more comfortably and easily you get to live. Some use their wealth and advantage to exponentially increase their treasure, buying robotic slaves to mine or farm for them, selling the crops afterward and using the profits to buy even more robots. Of course, there is a limit to how advanced the kingdom's scientists can get things, and about the best thing money can buy is a large anatomical dragon that has been popular recently among the richer nobles who use it to guard their homes. Of course, there are plenty of things magic can do that machines can't, such as healing, setting defensive spells, and, of course, curses, so the mages, clerics, and sorcerers still play an important role in society. One cleric in particular prophesied when the kingdom was first built about six heroes who would receive extraordinary power upon entering this world. I think you know who I'm talking about.

Rules

Everyone's already accepted, but that doesn't mean I'll be fine with absolutely anything you come up with. If something in your form doesn't go along with the rules of story, I'll ask you to change it, and if you don't/can't I'll either ask you to make a different character or I'll go ask a friend to fill the role. Also, you will be required to read the rules before being allowed to post in the IC.

Characters should be from 14-18, no older (otherwise they're not really teenagers anymore) and no younger (otherwise they're not suitable for fighting).

Ask and you will receive. I won't be putting up all the character classes' abilities and strengths until everyone has their form up, so I can try to suit them to their personalities, but if you need to know just sort of what they can do or anything else about the roleplay, I'll be happy to tell you.

No cursing please. Most people allow a certain amount, but nothing above "damn" and "crap" is tolerated here, not even starred out.

If you have a bone to pick with another player, do it in PMs.

Romance is allowed, encouraged even, but only to a certain extent. They're teenagers, remember, not adults. Keep it PG.

And that's about it. If you read all this, put "Bards aren't combatants" in "other" on your character form.

Character Form

(Appearance here; anime please)
Full Name:

Nickname/Alias:

Gender:

Age:

Class:

Personality:

Short History:

Abilities: (Nothing here yet; copy and paste once I put it up.)

Other:

I will be playing a talking cat, the head mage's familiar, to lead the heroes on their quest, along with the Baron and a few other NPCs. Throughout the roleplay the Baron's army will be growing closer and closer, and there WILL be a final boss. (It's hinted at in this post; see if you can find it, but don't post it here.) Over time, if you put in the effort, I will give your characters' powers upgrades, which you can paste into your form. Eventually, you'll be stronger than the Baron and whatever he has waiting...hopefully.

Quick question: Do the 6 of us know each other prior to appearing in the square? (this site is killin' me)

(Well you're polite. I left the tab open so I could check on it, but I was eating dinner. Try checking next time to see if I've actually posted recently instead of just assuming I'm ignoring you.) No.

I didn't assume you ignored me O.o I think you're assuming I was irritated at you when I was frustrated with the site...

[Zombehs]

Those ignores are just because of the triple post I assume. RPG has been having weird issues.

[Emuxe]

Oh god was RPG being a butt and making you triple post? I hate when it does that.

Yes to both these things!

[LetterA]

I'll save this spot for my CS I suppose.

[phantori]

Oops, sorry. I didn't see the edit bit.

Alright, if you want to put up your form, feel free. We still need the other three people.

[Emuxe]

I'm in the middle of making my CS.
I'm doing it in a PM to myself so I can see how it looks midway instead of having to annoy you guys with constant edits.

[Emuxe]

<Ignore this post>

[phantori]

Gotcha. Good idea, I might try that.

Rose Anna Thatch aka Rosie, Poppy

Female

16

Rogue

Personality: Rose prefers to keep herself mysterious. She hardly ever speaks unless spoken to or if she feels she has something especially important to say. And when she does speak it is often in a sarcastic tone. Though she comes off emotionless at times, she can be very funny and relatable. She internalizes most of her thoughts and emotions, but showing hope and calm in dire situations. If she does find the extra time, she is usually spending it studying. She enjoys quiet meditation and is very secretive about her past. Serious and cautious to trust others, she keeps a cool head in order to make decisions with her mind and not emotions. She holds grudges easily and loses her temper in rare occasions, and when she does get close to others, she is loyal and will defend them to the end, risking her own life to protect. In her mind, things tend to be very black and white, and why get upset over things you can’t change? She can come across callous, but cares and speaks to others as if trivial things don’t matter in order to convince herself they don’t.

Short History: Rosie Thatch’s mother died during childbirth, leaving her father a broken man, despite now having a lovely little daughter. He had a gambling and drinking issue prior to the birth, but after losing his wife, he spiraled into depression. He left his daughter with his mother, not able to care for an infant in his condition. He eventually got in too deep, whacked by some men he shouldn’t have borrowed from, a night when he was stumbling drunk for the local bar. Rosie was aware of all this, as her grandmother would often complain that it was Rosie’s fault her son was this way. It was Rosie’s fault her mother died. Rose, instead of acting out, drew into herself and became quiet. Her grandmother tried to use violence against her almost every day, but Rose was too quick for her. She also developed a drug habit around the age of 12, finding which ones cleared her mind to allow meditation and peace for her. She never got caught, again using her wits and stealth to escape. She’s very sneaky without being proud of it. If you asked her class, even the students she’s been in school with since elementary school who she was as a teen, they would ask “Who?” or maybe say “Oh the quiet red head?” at best. She has trouble making friends but enjoys social company on the rare occasion. At least it would be a break from her grandmother.

Abilities: -

Other: Bards aren’t combatants

[phantori]

Great character, and I see you have everything down, except...the teenagers are from our world, and your history, despite being very interesting and in-depth, doesn't seem like it could happen here.

[The Scotsman]

For this roleplay, what are the differences between the knight and the paladin? I don't know if you're wanting to go by the D&D definition or anything, or if you would prefer to write your own class rules.

[Zombehs]

Full Name: Karum Jung
Nickname/Alias: N/A
Gender: Male
Age: 17

Class: Necromancer

Personality: Karum is a rather hard to read individual, his true personality difficult to determine. That is partially due to the fact that most people only see him in the confines of a hospital bed, but the boy has also learned to hide his feelings; usually under a pleasant smile. What he appears to be is a satisfied, calm, and collected boy. He speaks in a gentle manner, and seems to hold very little ill will against anything. His red eyes do gleam with intelligence though, made quickly apparent should one converse with the bedridden adolescent. He expresses great curiosity, an interest in learning, and seems to pick up things easily enough. Still… while all of these might have seemed normal or even encouraged on a regular boy, Karum was anything but.

Short History: You see, Karum was never supposed to live very long. The doctors had given him fifteen years at most to live when he was first diagnosed at birth, and he’s never left the hospital since. While his condition doesn’t affect his daily life, the constant risk of it acting up means that he was never allowed to stray too far from immediate medical attention. The hospital was a prison, one that kept him alive, but a prison nevertheless. Yet, a prisoner that has never known freedom never truly seeks it. Much was the case for Karum, even after he learned of the reasons to leave.

A green haired, red eyed boy isn’t something that goes unnoticed after all. Especially not when he resides in the same bed for years on end. Frequent visitors to the hospital caught notice, and just a few were of his age. They visited this strange boy, had him put aside the books, and struck up conversation. A few were fleeting acquaintances, but some became more than that. There was one that stuck out amongst the few he called friends though. A girl with hair just as red as his eyes, and a fiery personality to match. She was the first person to try and get him to leave, the first person to actually hurt him, and the first person to shed tears in front of him. She was also the first person he thought of after everything changed, oddly enough.

Abilities: (Nothing here yet; copy and paste once I put it up.)

Other: Bards can’t fight, ya silly goose.

The bandage wrapped around his head is nothing extraordinary, but he treats it like a treasure.

Rewritten!

[phantori]

*tears well up* Aaaaah he's so cute and sad!!! Very interesting history, I hope that gets elaborated on in the story. Gladly accepted.

Much better, Whirlwind, but I feel bad for your character. Accepted.

Scotty, the Paladin's meant to be more defensive than the Knight; heavier armor, a shield, and probably a mace instead of a sword. So slower but a little stronger than the Knight.
