Marches of Man: the Black Shields. [ALWAYS OPEN]

Name: Ebn Na Azhdar

Aliases: His name means "Son of the Dragon" who needs an alias.

Age: 28

Sex: Male

Sexuality: Bisexual

Religion: Sawarim

Family: His mother, Uncle, Aunt and three cousins.

Birthplace: Ib-Wahad Sultanate

Societal Standing: Lowborn

Personality: Headstrong, brash, argumentative if angry, reckless in front of interested women. Will display an extraordinary amount of loyalty to anyone who proves themeselves worthy of his trust.

History: Product of a rape by an invader from Broacien, Ebn grew up with a biased view of the world, his mother loved him but he was never quite able to shake the nagging feeling that she also resented him. Due to complications with his birth, Ebn's mother was unable to have anymore children.
He had heard about the fierce warriors, clad in huge metal suits and wanted to know why they felt it was their right to come and try to take from the desert. Perhaps deep down he hopes to find the man who sired him, but for either a father or for the blood vengeance he had sworn after his mother had told him of his birth, Ebn is still undecided.

Dreams, short term goals and fears:Ebn dreams of luxury, for his mother more than himself, he plans to use the Black Shields to pay for this.
His biggest fear is dieing and unworthy death.

Former Employment: Hired sword and forward scout for his Uncles Caravan Guard.

Rank and Role: Footsoldier, Scout, Archer

Skills: Desert Survival, Ebn knows how to read the signs from the desert, he is able to predict when a sandstorm is going to hit, several minutes before they do. He can find water and shelters as if by instinct. He knows which plants and animals are edible, which are poisonous and what uses they have other than just for food.

Martial Prowess: Trained in Archery, both on horseback and on foot, the use of his twin scimiters since the age of 16, Ebn is a combetent fighter but by no means undefeatable.

Combat Style: His style is unorthodox, it can be seen as reckless, with his two weapons fighting style Ebn is more focused on attack than defense, his strikes are all lightning fast and he is extremely nimble.
Ebn is not held by some rigid code of honor that means he is blind to the realities of war. If an opponent has proven a worthy foe then Ebn knows that their death is honorable.

Weaponry: His twin scimiters, one with a small chain attached to its handle, a shortbow and quiver of arrows, used for hunting and for striking the first blow against his enemies. Ebn also carries three daggers, one is used to skin and clean his food, the other two are strapped to his thighs, they are either used as throwing weapons or for close quarters combat.

Armour: A studded leather cuirass and light cloth is all Ebn's armour comprises of. Anything heavier would interfere in his combat style.

Marches of Man: a medieval RP set in 'Broacien'

I would like to see some magic in this, nothing world shattering like hurling lightning bolts or summoning hordes of undead to attack the local pigfarmer. But something subtle and hidden. Maybe spells that are illusionary and are more akin to tricks and sleight of hand that a few good street performers could replicate.

On the other end of this there has to be the medicinial herbology and poultices etc, would they not in there own way be low forms of magic. Before Science was named thus, this was how a lot of people made do with nettle teas and things like that.

Or there could be another option in terms of enchanted items, magic has been lost from the world but still exists in a few (very rare) artifacts of the gods (god). These could be holy items or weapons and armour. Just a suggestion.

Hope this is in some way helpful

I would also like to express interest. Have been waiting for something like this for a while now.

The Circle Complete [Arc 1, Interest Check]

Redward, I think we are all here for the long haul. Please take as much time as you need to sort out and deal with your real life problems.

The Circle Complete [Arc 1, Interest Check]

Ouroboros, I like it. Better than anything I could ever attempt on a computer. I still struggle with typing in word.

EDIT: Also, quick suggestion about the hybrid nature of the cat-person. Perhaps she was a normal human mage that dabbled with the wrong type of spells and the result left her as the hybrid creation you wish to play as?

The Circle Complete [Arc 1, Interest Check]

I call dibs on the Ranger/Scout character lol. Just any kind of Archer/Roguish persona in general really

The Circle Complete [Arc 1, Interest Check]

Sounds interesting so far, have subbed to keep myself in the loop and to keep up with new information.

Illyria - An Open World Fantasy Role Play

Like many of the others I see a lot of potential here. Very much interested. Are half-breeds allowed?

The White Company

Name: Crale Serventus
Age: 24
Gender: Male

Physical description: Crale stands at 6 feet in height, he is of medium build with well defined muscles due to his lifetime of training and performing many labours for the other villagers. He inherited his rugged looks from his father and also has the man's strong jawline and dark hair. A neatly trimmed goatee and mustache adorn his face and his hair is almost always unkempt or windswept. Crale's eyes are a deep green, his mother's eyes. He is considered quite handsome by most of the maidens in his village although none of them would ever dream of approaching him. A small crescent shaped scar mars his lower lip, the result of not reacting fast enough to a sword thrust.

Personal history: Living in the village of Andor, a small but vibrant place laying along the western edge of Elinor, where his father is the Mayor. Crale grew up amongst simple folk, fishermen, herdsmen, tanners and farmers. He was however, a man of noble birth, Gregor Serventus, Crale's father, was a former Knight of the crown, he had retired to Andor after a hunting accident had left him blind in one eye and needing the use of a cane to walk with. Crale had a very intense upbringing, he was educated by both his mother and father in history, learning to read and write, which quite a number of villagers did not know how to do. He was instructed in herbology by his mother's handmaiden. Gregor not only oversaw his only son's education but also saw too it that the boy was trained in the arts of weaponry and horseplay. Crale was a natural, almost any weapon he picked up he was a natural with, he favoured the sword and shield, the armaments of the old Knights. His horse riding was by no means superb, but he made do.
The only downside to Crale's childhood was the fact that he was almost always alone, his father was very strict and somewhat of an elitist. He believed that Crale should not mingle with the "commoners", something that Crale hated, it was one of the only things they could never agree on. Crale would often help fishermen, farmers and the tanners with their everyday labours, something else that did not sit right with Gregor.
He would often go on hunting trips with some of the more adventurous youths, he even came up with the idea of a militia of sorts so that the villagers had some protection from roving animals or the occasional bandit. His father seemed to be happy with this as he was once again called into action to oversee the training. All in all it was an almost ideallic life, until his father began to hear rumours from the north.

Character traits: Charming, easy-going, honorable, loyal but inexperienced in real combat. Some would say that he is Naive because of his youth and somewhat sheltered life.

Skills:

Highly trained in the use of his longsword and shield, wielding both from an early age.
Competent archer and hand to hand combatant.
Decent fisherman.
Has limited training in field medicine (can apply basic ministrations such as bandaging wounds)
Trained in herbal lore by his mother's handmaiden, is able to identify which herbs are safe to use as poultices or salves to coat wounds.

Edited my post. Hopefully I have addressed the issues you mentioned. I have also changed the languages to herbology because of your explanation regarding the languages of the world.
