Furor Titanicus

The way the sun hung in the sky above Galrond made it look almost otherworldly. It was interesting, but Rebecca just couldn't shake the feeling of unease rising within her. After all, she was here for a reason. Despite how cheery and peaceful the town seemed in the daylight, rumors had spread across the country about a mysterious beast appearing in the night. The beast was said to have been the death of many an heir, and had terrorized the people if Galrond for ages. It was only natural for Rebecca to want to investigate. If she couldn't use her blessings to protect world order, what good were they?

She had arrived earlier in the day, and was surprised to find a town that didn't seem gripped by fear of some fantastic beast. The streets were absolutely bustling with activity, making it hard to guide her horse through them with out getting a few annoyed looks. She needed to find a place for him to stay as soon as possible. She tapped on the shoulder of a man passing by for help. "Excuse me," she began.

The man turned to face her, and was met with a strange sight: a dark skinned woman dressed in polished armor and carrying a large halberd. It definitely wasn't something you'd see every day. Was she going to war or something? Rebecca carried on without noticing his confusion.

"Excuse me, sir" she continued, "I'm looking for an inn to spend the night in, preferably on with a stable for my horse. Could you show me-"

"Stay the night!?" the man exclaimed, "Are you mad!?"

It was Rebecca's turn to look confused. "Mad? I'm only looking for a place to rest."

"You should leave." The man's eyes were nervously darting left and right. "It isn't worth risking your life." With that said, he sped back back to the rush of people around them, leaving the confused champion to wonder just what was going on. Maybe there was something to these rumors after all.

As the time passed, the crowd was slowly thinning out. Rebecca and her horse cpuld finally move comfortably, but she still couldn't find any sign of an inn. Suddenly, screaming could be heard up ahead. People began to fall left and right as a hail of pebbles rained from the sky. Rebecca raised her arms to protect herself, and the pebbles loudly bounced off of her armored gauntlets. Those around her weren't so lucky. The pebbles fell like a hail of daggers through the unprotected people. Those caught in the attack dropped like stones, never to move again. Those who could still move were panicking wildly. They all struggled to push past each other to reach what safety they could. In the resulting commotion, her horse panicked. She grabbed hold of the reins, struggling to calm her steed, but it snapped its constraints in the struggle. "No, wait!" she shouted, but the horse ignored her. He sprinted off with the crowd, leaving Rebecca on her own.

Let him go! her instincts screamed in her mind, People are being attacked right in front of you, and you need to help thrm first! She turned to face the coming threat. A group of strange men were at the center of the chaos... No, she realized. Theses weren't normal men. These were... mages! She tightened her grip on her halberd. This was going to be a difficult battle.

The Legend of Dragoon: Awakened Fate

The shop was bigger than he had thaought it would be. He had expected it to like any old tool shop, small and homely with cheap but long lasting farming equipment. This was nothing like his expectations. As he stepped through aisle of hard, intimidating steel blades, he couldn't help but wonder if he should even be there. Every weapon there, from swords to spears and axes, seemed to kill, and that wasn't even the worse part.

Richard took hold of a sword that caught his eye. It seemed more welcoming than the other weapons, though not by much. Looking down, he noticed a price tag that hung on a string tied the sword's hilt. After reading it, he almost wished he hadn't.

"I don't have that kind of money!" he muttered to himself, "How does anyone pay for things like this!?"

A voice called out from nearby, "Are you going to buy something or what?"

Richard jumped. He had been so lost in his financial worries that he didn't even notice the burly, one-eyed shopkeeper with an eyepatch glaring daggers at him from the counter. The man repeated himself. "Are you gonna buy something or what? I see the way your looking at the price tag. If it's too rich for your blood, you might as well leave. I don't need your grubby paws screwing with things you know you can't have."

"Well, I was just looking..." Richard began, but he could already feel the shopkeeper's glare somehow getting worse. Luckily for him, someone else entered the shop.

"Hey kid, is this really the place you want to be?"

Richard turned to find two familiar faces, Kest and Veragwen. "Oh, good morning," he said to them. It was a relief to see a friendly face.

"Good morning, Richard." said Veragwen, "What brings you to the weapons shop? Thinking about learning to fight?"

"After seeing the both of you, in action, I felt I at least had to learn to protect myself" Richard replied.

" It certainly couldn't hurt, right? I'd be happy to give you some pointers if you'd like."

Richard's eyes lit up before remembering the price tag. "I would like that, but I need a weapon first. I don't think I can afford anything here" He looked towards to sword once more, still shocked by the price.

Furor Titanicus

Appearance: Along with her steel gauntlets, greaves, and chain mail vest, Rebecca is most often seen in a cream colored tunic and black pants. Her trusty halberd is usually carried in her hand or strapped to her back.

Name: Rebecca Themis

Age: 28

Titan: Rylai

Origins: Luther Kingdom

Personality: Normally, Rebecca is a quiet girl, preferring to take things slow and linger on her thoughts and actions. To anyone observing, it would be strange to see a girl like this carrying the same steel halberd that Rebecca carries with her, whatever the reason may be. She sees it as a reminder of home, where she came from, and where she wants to be, but that doesn't change how strange it looks to passer-bys.

Likes:
- Peace and quiet
- Origami
- A good debate
- Preaching to everyone about her current views of justice and equality

Dislikes:
- The vistas. They creep her out.
- The idea of gray morality
- War in general.
- pointless anarchy

Backstory: In kingdom of Luther, a royal advisor by the name of Raleigh Taylor had a child with the lady in waiting of Luther Kingdom. This child would go on to be Rebecca Taylor. Due to her higher status, she was a friend to the royal family, often finding herself in organized play-dates with the princess and her friends. It was an ideal life in the eyes of some, but her father wasn't satisfied.

Raleigh had great plans for her future. Unlike most girls of her status, she was taught to kill. Her father had hired ex-knights and spies to train her at a young age in combat and espionage. She was to use her status to keep a close eye on the king and his daily life, and report these details to her father. When the time came, she was to kill the king and throw the kingdom in to chaos.

Unfortunately, Raleigh waited too long, and Rebecca grew to the age where she could form her own opinion. Though she had never known the king directly, she liked the time she enjoyed with the royal family. She didn't think she would be able to handle ending the life of anyone close to them. When she was 16 years of age, she revealed every detail of the plot to the king. Of course, the king was horrified. Raleigh was sentenced to death by the guillotine for his crimes. Rebecca was allowed to live for bringing the information to the king, but she was no longer allowed in the company of the royal family. Her father's wealth was confiscated as payment, and she was only left with a few possessions that she would have to sell for money. Most of it she was sad to see gone, but she cared more about her livelihood than her father's possessions. The only thing she couldn't bear to sell was a steel halberd that her father had custom made for her. She couldn't bring herself to completely dismiss her father's memory, so she decided to keep it. It became a habit for her to carry it everywhere with her.

With nothing left to keep her in Luther, she bought a horse and set out on her own to discover what life could give her outside of her father's legacy.

Skills & Talents:
- Rebecca is reasonably skilled in the use of many melee weapons, including swords, spears, and axes. Her preferred weapon of choice is her steel halberd.

- Being the champion of the titan Rylai, she has to have certain skills to help her to represent proper justice, such as deduction, debating, orating, and interrogation.

- Despite the weight of her armor, Rebecca is very proficient in maneuverability. Though her actual travelling speed is hindered by her armor, her flexible body allows her move around the attacks of her enemies without too much movement. For this reason, her combat style is based on a defense of redirection and counter-attacks.

Equipment/weaponry:
- Though she may have a talent for using multiple weapons of war, her main choice of weapon is her steel halberd. She does her best to carry it with her everywhere. Her father had it custom made for her, and though she may not have used it in the way he had wanted, it was still a useful tool and a surprisingly sentimental reminder of her father.

- Her choice in armor is mich lighter than most. Rather than using the full armor of a knight, Rebecca prefers to only to wear a pair of steel gauntlets and greaves, and a chain mail vest beneath her clothing, all pieces that she bought herself after leaving Luther. She finds this easy to move in and strangely comfortable, so comfortable in fact that she finds herself wearing it even when there is no need to.

Reason for picking Titan/Branded: With her eventual goal of becoming an advocate for absolute justice and equality, it was only natural for her to side with Rylai, the titan of such.

I'll vote for @Mag Lev as well. It seems like he knows what he's doing, and has already been handling things pretty well. Keep up the good work!

Furor Titanicus

@Mag Lev I'll stay. I've already done the hard work of making a character, I only need to get her going in the story.

The Legend of Dragoon: Awakened Fate

The morning sun had barely risen when Richard woke up. Never mind that he had a hard night of helping out-of-towners with their luggage for a temporary place to sleep in a nearby hotel, his farmer habits still made it hard for him to sleep past a certain time. The idea helped him save the few coins he had, but he still had to worry about things like food. He sighed regretfully. It wasn't as if he was able to sleep well anyway. There was so much on his mind that it was a miracle for him to shut his eyes, let alone sleep.

The past few days had been nothing less than a chaotic blur for him. The fight with the thugs was especially stuck in his mind. What would happen when someone went after him with a knife? Vera and Kest knew how to defend themselves, but he didn't even have anything to fight with. The closest thing to a weapon he had was a small hatchet which he couldn't figure out how to use in a fight. If he was caught in a situation like that again, there was no garuntee that he would survive. He couldn't go any longer without something to protect him. In his sudden realization, he sat up in bed with hus eyes wide open. "That does it," he said out loud to himself, "Today, I'm getting myself a weapon."

The sun had risen, the stalls were starting to fill again, and the weapons shop owner was just opening up when Richard arrived. He had been trying to decide what weapon was best for him ever since he got out of bed. A sword like Vera's or Kest's? A spear? An axe? There were so many choices that the decision was a little daunting, but, at the same time, even a little bit exciting. It was the first time in days that he felt in control of his own situation. His posture rose, his gait quickened, and a small smile crossed his face before he opened the door and entered the weapons shop.
