Before humanity had writing to record it, the Demon Lord Xalafoor walked the surface, feeding on the suffering of others, causing more when he didn't find enough, which was most of the time. Eventually a group formed to fight him off, containing a Warrior, a Hunter, a Priest, and a Shaman. Xalafoor had servants of his own, though, an Assassin, a Spy, a Dark Warlock. Though they fought valiantly against him, they could not defeat him. Contact with the Demon Lord's magic left a mark on the souls of these seven, however, and for the next thousand years they continued to return to the mortal world, reincarnating into new bodies and once again taking their old roles, or something close to it, always drawn to each other.

After a thousand years of this, however, he was defeated when his servants turned on him. With his death, the magic which drew the seven together was weakened, and he their legacy passed into obscurity.

Thousands of years later, after the invention of writing, metallurgy, farming, and many other things, the bond strengthened again. The Shaman, man gifted in reading the hearts and minds of others, soon found himself bumping into one of the others of the Seven. This triggered the past-life memory of the Demon Lord. He showed this memory with the other, and together they set out to gather the rest of the seven, as the resurgence of their bond can only mean one thing; Xalafoor is returning.

Question: Is the Priest like... a spiritual/emotional type priest, or a RPG-esque healer type? It'd help me make my profile. I realize I"m really unsure on that part.

I was thinking a spiritual type, such as you would want if fighting a demon. Healing powers would still work, though.

@TheUnknowable

Ok, cool. I will get on it.

What's the level of fantasy for this? My character is a dark skinned woman with white hair. (Think Storm, kinda.) Is that ok with you?

That's fine. Things like elves and dwarves are legends, but no one's seen them if they exist. Exotic looking people might draw attention, but they exist.

ok, I added you.

everyone: After our characters meet up, I'm going to have them relive the first battle, so that we can get backstory. Your past lives don't have to be like your current character, as long as they still fit the category, so feel free to play around with different powers and abilities.

Cya, then. If you have an opening, though, feel free to join up again, assuming we still have an opening.

If the role of assassin is still available, you have my interest.

Yep, it's the last one available, though I may start clearing spots if their owners haven't checked in. I'll warn them first, though.

cool.

@everyone: I will start the RP in a cave. We were driven into it by a storm, a monsoon which heralds the return of Xalafoor. We'll then link our minds and relive the first battle, so that we have some backstory on the enemy and our past lives.

I think mine will be a freerunning shaman who's good at animal transformations name Ratonhnhaketon. Actually, that seems kind of familiar.

One question about the assassin, is it the conventional assassin you think of?
Like being hidden in the world of shadows and really stealthy

Like Dark elemental powers (absence of light, not evil)? Cloak yourself in shadows or be invisible and attack people while they can't see you? That would work.

Basically, most versions of these classes will be fine, as long as it fits the description (in your case "Assassin") and isn't too OP compared to the other characters.

For example, it doesn't matter if the Dark Warlock uses mind control, fire, necromancy, or summons lesser demons, as long as his skills still fit the definition of a Dark Warlock. For example, a character heavy on melee and light on magic wouldn't fit this description, though it could be a warrior or, with the correct magic, an Assassin or maybe a Spy.

Umbra


Age: 26

Role: Dark Warlock

Skills
  • Expert Pugilist - Umbra's physical training in the ring has rendered him one of the best hand-to-hand fighters in the region.
  • Inhuman Strength - His training has imbued his body with incredible amounts of strength and endurance.
  • Full Contact Magician - Combined with his knowledge of magic, Umbra is a powerful fist fighter, able to imbue his fists and feet with the elements.


Magic/Supernatural Abilities
  • Elemental Adept - Umbra is sufficiently adept and efficient at handling all the elements: Fire, Water, Air, Earth, Lightning, Light and Darkness. He is able to manipulate and weaponise them to a good extent, though his mastery of the different elements is still a ways away.
  • High Jump/Speed Boost - Using his magic to bolster his body, Umbra is able to use bursts of strength and speed to either jump really high, or travel horizontally really fast. These tire him fairly quickly so he doesn't use them often.


Equipment
  • Gaia's Will - A pair of leather gloves with metal studs on the knuckles, these weapons allow Umbra to channel his elemental magics through his arms and into his fists. These basically allow him to punch people with magic.
  • Strength of Nature - A set of leather harnesses and straps that he wears on his arms and shoulders, these strengthen his arms and bones with the essence of the earth, allowing his arms to absorb the sheer physical force behind his elemental punches.
  • Book of the World - A tome that contains information about the world. It automatically records whatever is spoken into it, its innate magicks translating spoken words into mystical ink prints. If a certain amount of magic is expended, he can even describe pictures that are also printed in colour in its pages. The book itself hangs on a chain attached to Umbra's belt, and he regularly consults it or reads it when he has nothing to do. So far it's barely even a third full, since Umbra has not seen much of the world.
  • Streamlight Shoes - A pair of black formal shoes that, like his gloves, allow Umbra to channel his elemental magics into his legs and feet. They also provide the same limb strengthening that ensures he doesn't break anything when he kicks with inhuman force.


Personality: Inquisitive and curious by nature, Umbra is one who seeks knowledge actively. His more stoic nature belies his natural personality, masking his curiosities and questions in an air of calm and cool.

Biography: Umbra was born and raised as a slave child; an arena gladiator made to fight for other people's pleasure. In the small town he was raised in, there was a gladiatorial arena and a committee, and every year the town would hold a competition to find the strongest fighter in the lands. It drew many, many heroes, fighters and pugilists from near and far, but none could best the town's champion; Umbra's father. For many years no one could best him and the champion went unbeaten.

Then, when Umbra was a young man, the king of the land visited his town to witness the fights in all their morbid splendor. It was the day of the annual competition, and as usual, many fighters went up against the champion but none could best him. Then, Umbra himself took to the ring and bested his father in a spectacular fight, one that lasted for minutes on end. After the end, the king himself applauded Umbra's strength and perseverance and granted the young man one wish. Umbra wished to learn about magic. The king asked why. That was when Umbra presented the king with a large, mystical tome. He told the king that the tome was a mystical volume of information given to him by his father just after the finishing fight, and it meant something to him about his destiny. The king agreed to his request and took him under his wing, placing Umbra under the tutelage of a man named Romulus. This warlock taught Umbra everything he needed to know about magic, but was unable to complete his studies before he passed on of old age. Taking everything he'd learned so far to heart, Umbra took his tome and left the king's castle to undergo a journey.

He followed his instincts, finding that he had a vague sense of several others going on such a similar journey. He went along with this sense and eventually found the other companions of his quest, thus beginning the current story.

Appearance:

Name: Kassandra Keigwan

Age: 24

Role: Priest

Skills: High emotional IQ, is excellent at reading people, gaining trust, and telling when someone is lying. Is excellent with children, has a very large amount of patience. Also makes really good cookies. She also has a very beautiful singing voice.

Magic/supernatural abilities: Kassy can cast all manner of illusions, from sight and sound, tactile, and a limited amount of taste and scent illusions.
- Kassy has intermittent visions of the future. When the visions come upon her, her mind is transported there. Her body is almost completely immobile, anywhere from ten seconds to a minute.
-Kassy can also control people's minds. How easily they can be commanded is dependent on the will of the person. Kassy's powers would fail against another old soul like hers. She also can't control anyone under the age of 6. Kassy is loathe to use this power on anyone, and it is a last resort.

Equipment: A solid wooden staff, a large earthen jug full of crystal clear water, ashes from a clean sacrificial fire, incense.

Personality: On the outside, Kassy is quiet and almost meek. Truthfully, she is a gentle soul, but at the core of her lies steel. She hates to see anything she considers 'bullying' and will stand up for people when they're hurt. She loves to make others happy, but is slowly learning that she doesn't have to sacfrifice herself to do that.

Kassy rarely loses her cool, but when she does, it seems to unbottle deep pain that has been festering for years.

Biography: Kassy's mother was a world-renowned medium, one who could speak to the 'other side'. Her parents traveled the world with little Kassy in tow, going from one place to another to further her mother's work. Some people believed whole-heartedly, while others were quite skeptical. They got attention wherever they went, but not all of it was positive attention. Kassy in particular felt quite alienated- she was born with her white hair, and odd-colored eyes. In some places, people were sure that her mother had consorted with some 'unholy force' to concieve such a child.

When Kassy was eight, Kassy's mother died during a showing, in the middle of contacting a spirit. Her father was distraught, and after months of grieving decided he couldn't care for his child anymore. He put her under the care of her mother's sister, Kassy's aunt Krista. He promised to return for her when he felt better.

Kassy hasn't seen her father since.

Her aunt Kristy hated her sister Kaia for what she was, and thought her sister nothing more than attention-seeking fraud. As a result of this hatred, she treated her niece like dirt: ruining her confidence at every turn, making sure no one in town would see her as normal, missing no opportunity to call her a freak, or wrong, or devil-child.
