[OOC] The Strife of Ostaria

[AquaAzura]

I'm still here, I've been busy moving the last few days. I wonder what Ryoichi thinks of Mira?

[RainDash]

I think they'd get along to a point. They both have a strong sense of justice and are pretty similar, but in my experience people hate other people's traits based on what they hate about themselves.

[AquaAzura]

Mira would admire Ryoichi's patiences and kindness, since she lacks both and feels that she's wouldn't be strong enough to have either of those traits.

@Ambra sorry!!! I've been out of commission for a while since I was getting ready to and going to San Diego for the week to visit a friend. I'm here and settled in so I now have time to work on him some more so I'll get right on that. I'll definitely have him up in like an hour or two! ^_^

Finished it!

Username: Nate
Name: Takasu (Taka or Takun with really close friends) Tosen
Age: 33
Gender: Male
Class: Lord
Rank: Lord

House: Tosen

Weapons: He uses a Katana with a dragon etched Saya (scabbard) and Tsuba (handguard) and the Sageo and Ito (Cord and Braid respectively) are in the color of his house. He has a matching wakazashi and tanto.

Appearance: minus the weird rocky stuff. His hair has been white since birth, a blessing of the gods according to his parents, however he has never seen it as such. He does not look as old as in the picture however the years of stress of lording for House Tosen has caused his face to appear a little older with wrinkles around the eyes and forehead however he still looks like a strong and able lord.

Personality: Takasu is a very stoic man, years of protecting and lording over his house have left him rather introverted. He is generally a quiet and calculating person and very stern. His punishments are strict but fair. He sticks to his honor and the honor of his house ensuring that in all of his actions he is never a disgrace to his name or house.

Short Biography: Takasu was born to the late lord of House Tosen as the second son of the prestigious family. His father died when Takasu was 13, his older brother was 20 and take the title of Lord. Takasu began to serve under his brother as the Lord's hand when he came of age. He served faithfully for two years before a skirmish in one of their boarder cities killed his brother. Now being the oldest heir of the house Taksu became the new Lord at the same age his brother did, 20.

As a boy Takasu learned the arduous and tedious skills of politics, deplomacy and economics. Alongside his brother he also learned to use a sword and ride horses. Through his many years of practice and training he learned respect and honor. When he became Lord he pushed for tighter stricter laws to deter crime and keep his people united. He increased taxes slightly to raise funds to strengthen defense along the boarders and he ruled on the principle of honor and loyalty. But despite his strict rulings and discipline he was fair above all else, he treated his people kindly knowing that without them he would not be a lord.

Other: “By the honor of my house and my father who gave it to me I mustn't fail.”

@Nate Why is his name Landis if he's actually Tosen, and an oriental House? Also, it's Tosen, not Tousen. XD

[Nate]

I think because when I was writing it I intended for him to be adopted. XD

[Marlowe]

But... you said Landis was born to the late lord of Tosen... I'm sorry, I'm just confused. ^^;

[Nate]

Yeah, when I started making him I intended for him to be adopted, then I finished it differently and didn't change the name because I liked it XD

[Marlowe]

Yeah but... the thing is, if he was born into the House instead, he'd have to have an oriental name. You know, right? I'd like for you to change his name if you can.

[Nate]

Oh that's fine, I knew you wanted that all along XD I was just answering your question. Anything else you see a problem with?

[Marlowe]

There's also the fact that you misspelled the House name. That's about it. ^^

[Nate]

Ok... still bummed you didn't change the house name :P

Edit: Ok, bio updated.

[Marlowe]

Other than that, he looks pretty old for his age, but I guess it's fine now.

Now that I have both Lords I'll go and start today.

[Nate]

I can explain that! I did forget to mention that he was born with white hair, it was considered a blessing from their gods though he never saw it that way. The stress of Lording has caused his skin to lose some resilience and so he looks a little old for his age, however he is not meant to look as old as he does in the picture. He looks strong and able but a little tired in the face.

[Marlowe]

Alright, I see now. Accepted.

First Character

Username:
PaulHaynek

Appearance:

(Let me know if this look is too extravagant)

Name:
Iroha

Age:
21

Gender:
Female

Class:
Mercenary

Rank:
Member

House:
(Any recommendations?)

Weapons:
Steel Sword, Concoction

Personality:
Iroha is an outgoing and energetic person but still preserves elegance in her actions. She is also a heavy pursuer of justice and will not hesitate to jump into trouble if innocence was at stake. She believes everyone she meets is good at heart and will always do the right thing when it matters until proven otherwise, a naivety that inevitably got her into trouble but nothing she could not handle with a little hunt and search and destroy.

However, this bubbly personality disappears when topics about her childhood are brought up. She will either ask for the conversation to change or quietly leave. This little trait seems to be connected to an individual named 'Jester', of whom she is quite afraid of but will fearlessly face in battle.

Short Biography:
In all honesty, Iroha never knew where she came from nor who were parents were. All she could remember is that she was a child rummaging through garbage to eat at least one meal a day. When fellow abandoned began to compete for the scraps of society, Iroha learned to swordfight just so she could eat. The fact that many starved and died just so she could live is a weight on Iroha's mind.

Iroha felt very guilty in clawing for survival at the expense of people and so she devoted herself into making the continent of Ostaria a better place by honing her swordsmanship and dealing with bandits and vagabonds, living off the rewards the people give her for her efforts. In time, she amassed enough wealth to buy her a decent set of light armor to help her in her quest. Iroha's heroic crusade would then continued across Ostaria until she reached Sariwon.

Seeing the monster problem, Iroha did not even think about joining the fight against the beasts and immediately offered her services to the nearest House who would point her at the right direction.

Other:
Appearance is of Rose Knight of Valkyrie Crusade

Second Character

Username:
PaulHaynek

Appearance:


Name:
"Jester"

Age:
?

Gender:
Male

Class:
Soldier

Rank:
Member

House:
(Opposite of Iroha's)

Weapons:
Silver Lance, Elixir

Personality:
Jester has a psychopathic, obsessive personality revolving around Iroha and her suffering. Jester does not care about any other people or creature, only seeing them as potential tools in hurting Iroha. His mannerisms vary across people, all of which tailored to whatever those people prefer so he could lead them to hate and cause Iroha pain.

Hurting Iroha is literally Jester's entire world and he would not care if it burns if it meant causing Iroha incredible suffering.

Short Biography:
Jester could barely remember what his life was before he saw a certain, golden-haired girl. A burning, clawing desire sparked within him when he saw that child living happily with her family. A desire which soon consumed his mind. Every waking moment was about the girl and so was his every dream. The obsession soon took new heights when Jester killed his own parents to take what they have and acquire the means to satiate his obsession.

With some torches and a sword, Jester invaded the young girl's home and slaughtered her family and set fire to the house. The horrified look on the girl's face gave him the most greatest pleasure in his life. As the girl fled for her life, Jester was still savoring the look of horror when the house burned to the ground. He survived but he was terribly burned, something he did not mind as he had discovered his life goal.

Jester followed the girl to her foster parents and promptly took care of them, earning another horrified look on the girl's face and savoring the pleasure it brought. Since his burnt face instilled attention, he carved the face off the girl's foster father and stitched it to his face. It did not work as it intended but decided that time spent on fixing his face was time not spent in hurting the girl.

Time passed by as Jester tirelessly pursued the girl who had grown up. However, opportunities were limited and came too quick but arriving in Sariwon, perhaps he could finally deliver a whammy on Iroha.

Other:
"You... complete me."

Appearance is of Johan of Monster

Let me know if there's anything wrong... Wrong-er.

[Taka]

Ryoichi Aseryo And Ryuske Aseryo

Assuming not all people in the same House are related, would think they'd have some since Ryuske was prepped to be a Lord one day. The younger brother, cousin, etc.

[RainDash]

Younger brother. You can the be the one that decides wether or not he knows about Ryou and Royichi.
