Tales of Arcadia
PREMISE
Welcome to the land formerly known as Arcadia.
Many centuries ago, this world was a unified realm with one king, populous and prosperous. They say that it was once filled with magic, where beasts and fiends lurking around waiting to devour you was not a possibility. Such days have long passed and are just mere stories now, fables of a golden period that are told to children.
Not many are sure on why the old world fell. Some involved a calamity; a large meteor, a destructive earthquake, or a great firestorm that enveloped the land. In others, the king had gone mad, rebellions ensued and the unified world became split into seven regions. A few tales involved a wicked witch who cast a curse upon the land.
The time of the unified realm is now nothing but fragments of recorded history and the only proof we have of the time when the world still had magic are the relics from the past. Mysterious ancient artifacts from the golden age forged under orders of the one King, now scattered all around the wide world. Legends say that when all one hundred relics are brought together, magic would return to the world and the successor to the king would reveal himself. Sadly, that day has yet to come.
As absurd as it sounds, destiny has somehow lead you here. Plucked out from the modern world, you will be blessed with a relic of your own and be plunged into the world of Arcadia. Good luck!

INTRODUCTION
Along with my passion for RPing coming back, @Zeroth has inspired me to look at this concept and again, give it a go.
Like many others, this'll be a New World/Reincarnation type of story. The initial arc will be linear in plot, probably not that long, and a bit straightforward. If we remain active and intact by the end of it, it'll serve as a jumping off point for the succeeding arcs and gradual world building.
What I'd require for this RP would be patience and sustained enthusiasm/interest (hopefully). Given my line of work, I can promise weekly updates but when not swamped with work, I could probably dish out updates every two to three days if everyone's extremely active.

@Dark Light@UltraCraftGames As mentioned, relics would initially be inactive. What ability and name it would get would depend on the circumstances your character is in or based on your character's actions.
Let's say one starts of with a simple DAGGER. If frequently used for killing, it could transform and gain the name BLOOD SEEKER.
Once attaining its name, abilities then would be assigned to the relic. Initial abilities would be simple and could either be something that affects the wielder (an increased sensitivity to the scent of blood) or an ability of the relic itself (able to repair and resharpen itself when exposed to blood).
So the general/pending format would be something like this:
The more a relic is used and the stronger its wielder becomes, the better the abilities become.
Hopefully that makes things a bit easier to understand?

Name: Blood Seeker
Appearance: A serrated foot-long dagger possessing a white edge and a distinct dark red hamon.
Power:
- Able to reform itself using the iron harvested from the blood of its victims
- Grants the user an increased sensitivity to the scent of blood
The more a relic is used and the stronger its wielder becomes, the better the abilities become.
Hopefully that makes things a bit easier to understand?
@deadpixel101 Oh. Still no. You could be jedi-inspired I guess or an animal trainer?
@deadpixel101 Crossover with another RP? Nope. Definitely not. Well, at least I'm not planning to make it one. Seems too messy for my taste.
Coolio.
Just a few more and I'll probably make the IC/OOC thread. Not going for that many for the first arc anyway. Around 4-6 players would be perfect.
If you guys have any questions, feel free to ask.

Puck the Pixie | The Exit
With shoulders arched and muscles aching, Puck continued his small-scale bombardment in hopes of something eventful to take place. And by the Demon Lord's grace, something actually did.
The cascade of destruction that soon followed was more than what Puck had expected. The sight of dust clouds caused the young pixie's eyes to widen in awe while the sounds of screaming goblins along with crashing rocks were music to his ears. What had happened to the goblins and the exit that they were tasked to guard were currently unknown. And it would take quiet some time before Puck would find out as he had some new problems he had to deal with.
Being too preoccupied with the chaotic scenery he was responsible for, Puck had let his guard down and was unable to respond immediately. The ledge upon which he hid himself had shifted, and along with it, several loose stones came tumbling out of the crevices behind him.
Losing his balance and getting hit with a few rocks in the process, Puck found himself plummeting towards the cavern floor and unfortunately, there were a good number of stones just behind him. In his startled state, the young pixie's instincts had kicked in. His priority was to protect himself from the incoming impact of the fall and the subsequent pelting of rocks that would soon follow.
By now, Puck was well aware of his ability to use protective magic; this time though, he needed more if he wanted to get out of this in one piece.
You used Shield I.
You used Shield I.
You used Shield I.
You do not have enough MP to use Shield I.
Although drained and somewhat fatigued, magical energy gradually enveloped his body. Whether or not multiple spells overlapped directly or in effect, was still able uncertainty. It was a good question, but Puck didn't have the time to contemplate on it.
With whatever strength he had left in his tiny body, Puck tried his best to reposition himself and flapped his wings as fast and as hard as he could to at least lessen the damage from the incoming fall.
OOC: Bring on the pain, I guess? Also, wasn't sure how many Shield I spells Puck could cast. What I was trying to imply was as much as he could instead of three times.
@Zeroth
Puck the Pixie | The Exit
With his vision spinning and some ringing in his ear, Puck found himself fleeing atop one of the many ledge-like rock formations that were present all around the cavern wall. Laying on his back, his heart's pace began to slow down while the magical energy that surrounded his body slowly dissipated. Snapping out of his frenzied state, Puck's eyes widened as he found himself staring at the ceiling, giggling in between deep breaths. He finally took in what had just happened to him. What he did was more than reckless, but he couldn't help but just laugh.
"That was sure fun though." Puck thought to himself as he sat back up, peeking out and taking a good look at the goblins he had just faced. Only then did Puck realize how different he was from them. Their size, speed, and strength, most especially that of the gorilla-like goblin, were on levels far higher than his own; no wonder his senses were so rattled from just a swipe alone.
As the group of goblins had left, leaving only two by the exit, Puck took this time to recuperate and contemplate on what he gained from his rash and impulsive actions. What Puck had done wasn't wise by any standard, but the amount of information he had gained made it worthwhile.
- The difference in capabilities of goblins and himself
- The possibility of different types of goblins
- The existence of some sort of hierarchy among the cave goblins
- Goblins being armed with crudely made weapons
Sadly, even with all this things in mind, Puck still wanted to get through the exit and to the outside. His childish and trickster-like nature was still predominating; the curiosity innate in pixies wasn't making things better.
Flying short distances between crevices and ledges, getting closer to the exit with each time, Puck couldn't help but notice that the goblins left keep watch, had their eyes locked unto him. Feeling safe from a distance, Puck simply waved at the duo before flashing a grin as he made his way towards another hiding place. Here he had noticed that his breathing had become labored, turning shallow and rapid. It was no surprise though, given his lanky frame, how much stamina it had was definitely limited. And apparently, flying so high up in brief succession, took a lot of effort; it was time to rest. Hopefully, with Puck being idle for a while, the attention and focus of the goblins down below would diminish.
While taking a break, Puck found the opportunity to take a better look at his surroundings. It was mostly rock formations and pieces of stone scattered everywhere. It was beautiful in its own right, but nothing truly impressive. Once Puck noticed the cracks and early signs of erosion of the rocks, the illusion of a picturesque cavern had slowly vanished.
"Cracks?" he thought to himself before another playful grin had formed on his face. It seemed like Puck had plan.
The ledge he was on was fairly spacious with several crevices surrounding it. For what he was plotting, Puck had to first gather as many rocks and stones as he could. There were numerous pieces around him and a few more inside each crevice; they were relatively large and just heavy enough for Puck to carry around. With his pile of rocks and stones beside him, he began lifting them over his head and tossing them towards the cracks present on the formations hanging above the goblins down below.
Puck was hoping for one to break off. If it landed on one of the goblins, he'd be more than happy. If the crash would disorient them, he'd take the too. Either one would give him an opening to head towards the outside. If nothing happens and it doesn't fall off, well, I guess he got to work out a bit, which is also good. Whatever happens, as long as Puck survives, then its a win in his book.
OOC:
- Rocks would be between five to ten pounds, I guess. Since he's able to lift up to ones that are around fifteen pounds, I assumed that this was the acceptable weight he'd be able to toss with a significant amount of force.
- Puck's laugh has the onomatopoeia of "Pupupupu"
@Zeroth
@Zeroth No probs man.
Thanks for the info. Puck's might get some deathflags in the next few posts. I'd say YOLO but that kinda has been disproved by now.
EDIT: If anything's unclear about my post or if there's any problem, no worries on bringing it up. Not sure if everything's all good.
EDIT 2: Just realised that the ape goblin was actually the boss option. Oops.
