The city of Agartha holds a niche for everything, whether you are a petty thief or a respectable wizard not only can you make a living here but you can also get stabbed in the street for having to much gold on you. The monarchy is stable and crime is rampant in the "lowly quarter" where all the poor stay.

Ryan
Ryan walked down the road, snow melting against him as it fell. He didn't care, he found it increasingly difficult to care about much. Since he'd come to Agartha not only had he been unable to get into any mischief, but he was unable to make ANY friends. It's as if the weather had made these people less friendly, at least to him.
Ryan and Natsuki momentarily locked eyes. She turned her gaze away from Ryan as fast as she could. This intrigued Ryan which caused him to approach her and strike up a conversation.
"Hey beautiful!" Ryan said damn near soaking wet. He didn't care, he was to stricken with her beauty to care. He reached out with a cold hand to grab hers and kiss it.
To his shock the girl let him, and he made his introductions. "My name is Ryan,
it's a pleasure to meet you...". Ryan left a blank space in his speech for her to fill her name with.

I won't think twice about taking both."
~Ashana the Black Rose~
Ashana (age 25) hails from the arrid and dry deserts of Ahkshriba in the far west, a land of thieves, cutthroats, and mercenaries. She was abandoned at an early age when her father, a soldier of the Sultan Khomeni II, died in the Great War of the Mercenary Kings and her mothet died giving birth to her. For a majority of her childhood, she was taken care of by her mother's sister, a cruel and careless woman, who during Ashana's twelfth year, sold her into slavery.
Luckily, Ashana managed to escape the slavers before they sold her off. She ran away from her home in the capitol of Ahkshriba soon after and fled to the port town of Farro. Farro was notorious for being a den of thieves, and street rats like Ashana fit right in. For years, she lived off the streets by stealing whatever she could get her hands on, food, clothing, etc. Twas more out of survival, yes, but larceny gave her such a rush. Eventually, she grew into robbing people in the dead of night, holding up travelers and traiding caravans on the roads, and swindling people out of their hard earned coin.
Thus the infamous Black Rose was born.
She used her beauty to lure men, and even women, into a false security before making off with their valuables, and what she could not take by wit and charm, she took by blade and blood.
An agile combatant and a silver tongue, Ashana wields her two favorite daggers, Love and Hate, a sword on her back, and carries an assortment of throwing knives and/or smoke bombs on her at all times. In cities, she tends to dress normally in simple peasant clothes or in ways to accentuate her natural beauty. On the roads and at night however, she dons sleek, black leather attire, complete with a hooded shawl to cover her face. She's a smooth talker, often using her charm to con her victims, but sometimes her words can fail her and she has to result to more...drastic measures.
In combat, Ashana prefers three things, speed, mobility, and the element of surprise. She's a master of stealth and hit and run tactics, plus wearing little to no armor and wielding light weapons, she can move across the battlefield quickly and strike even moreso. However, her lack of protection puts her at a disadvantage if she does not land the first blow, and if outnumbered, she's pretty much dead.
For Ashana, personal gain is her only goal. She will only aid others if she is offered something in return, and when it comes to pursuing her own lust for wealth, she'll sink to the lowest rung to get what she wants. She is not above betraying others if it is a means to an end, and often she'll use seduction to lower her victim's guard before robbing them blind. That is not to say she doesn't have her caring side though. Ashana still has a heart. It's just been hardened by all she has endured in her life. There are sparse moments that she shows love or compassion for anyone and anything besides money.
Ashana
The snow cracked and crunched under her feet with every step she took through the crowded city street, shifty eyes dancing about in the sockets of her head to and fro, scanning for a potential mark.
Gods damned this blasted city! She shivered a little, wrapping her elegant shawl a bit tighter around her, a gift from a particularly innebriated nobleman she lured into bed. Thankfully she spared herself the indecency of laying with the fat, drunken pig. Just her luck he was one of those fools who liked to be tied down.
What I wouldn't give for the heat of the desert sand... A cruel place it was, Ahkshriba, but what would be more cruel than freezing to death in this gods damned snow?
She sighed, her breath a thin mist caught in the biting, frigid air. The buzzing of the market rabble was incessant in her ears, her head pounding. Maybe killing a few tankards of ale was not the best way to celebrate her victory over that drunken fool.
Hmm...there has to be something in this market worth stealing. Blast! But nothing of the sort, just the ususl, dried meats and fish, produce that could hardly be called such... Not a single jeweler or antiques dealer to be seen. Perhaps she would just have to resort to picking pockets, but that lacked the flair and the fun the Black Rose had come to known.

Name: Ryan
Race: Human
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Personality: Ryan is a smooth talking bastard, he doesn't like not being liked. So Ryan naturally tries to get everybody he meets to like him. The more they like him the better Ryan feels and the fonder he becomes of them in turn. In essence he's sort of a pacifist, because he knows fighting doesn't make people like you. That being said he'll fuck someone up that threatens him or attacks him.
Physique:
Face Claim:
Clothing:
Weapons: Mostly for show, but does occasionally use them for things.
Major Strength: Ryan's body's physical fitness is astronomical due to his self inflicted 6 year long disciplinary torture regimen. Due to this he could easily dent thick armor with his punches, bite through thin or weak swords, and even ignore most physical injury.
Major Weakness: Ryan is utterly defenceless when it comes to magic. He could be frozen or burnt or slain any number of ways due to the nature of magic. His bodies resilience stops at mages.
Minor Strength: Ryan has gained a rather happy go lucky charisma after reinserting himself into social society, he can't help but be giddy and people seem to like that.
Minor Weakness: Ryan can't stand not moving straight forward so to speak. If he has a problem and it can be solved most simply by one course of action. He would most likely not be able to go along with any other options. He would simply fixate on his own solution untill he actually solved it the simple way.

Character example.
Name: Natsuki Katsunagi
Race: Human
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Bisexual
Age: 15
Personality: Natsuki is a complicated girl, she likes people but hates to show it. If Natsuki gives you shit it's hard to tell if it's because she hates you or likes you, because she uses sarcasm and sassyness to express both. She's naturally suspicious and curious, as well as terribly vengeful against people to fuck with her.
Physique: about 5' even and fairly light, Natsuki is a petite girl.
Clothing:
Magic Staff:
Face Claim:
Backstory: Natsuki left her abusive family broken in half to seek a better life. Eventually she found a 20 year old self proclaimed knight, and convinced him to look after her in exchange for magical aid. After a few months of travel she accompanied the knight in a search through an old ruin marked "The Crystal Sage's Temple". The dangerous halls were barely survivable but with Natsuki's help they were able to make it to a room that held an old artifact. This artifact was a book, marked with a blue crystal sphere. It called out to Natsuki who grabbed it up as soon as she could and started commiting text to memory. However the book was sentient and in exchange for the knowledge it imparted Natsuki it bound itself to her, copying all the knowledge she would learn about magic the book didn't already have. This symbiotic relationship led to her becoming a skilled crystal mage over the course of the next year. Eventually the knight settled down with a nice wench and they parted ways.
-Abilities-
Natsuki is a young wizard, however her study from the Crystal Sage Tome has afforded her considerable aptitude for her age. She knows many offensive, defensive, and Utility spells. Focusing mostly around Crystal spells, barriers, and healing.
Major Strength: AOE spells.
Minor Strength: Enchantment.
Major Weakness: Incapable of holding her own in a physical fight.
Minor Weakness: Gets confused easily while tired.

Hey hey hey! How is everyone doing this fine day/night. Well if your hear hopefully it's to stay. What we have here is a medieval Fantasy inspired by Anime. Character creation and backgrounds are very loose and accommodating to allow creative characters. This RP will take place in one giant city and that city only, probably named Agartha. I'll be editing this topic to fill in more info so if it looks baren right now give me a second and a refresh or two hahah.
Hahah, well I don't think you should apologize for your speed percius. I think it was just to much for soul to keep up with for his schedule. I n my opinion you need to post faster hahah, Natsuki needs a job lol. I had to move her outside just so I could intro Ryan and break my boredom.
