Tirza

Tirza R'Miva a.k.a Tears

Race:
Gem
Age:
19
Element(s):
Wind
Height:
5'6

Bio:
Tirza was an orphan, she was told that her mother was a lover to a man that already had a wife. Once she became pregnant the wife of the man found out, she was angry but waited for Tirza's mother to give birth. Once she did the wife went to Shadow Worth and told the guards there that there was a beautiful young Gem that they should take for the Reaping. The guards agreed and took Tirza's mother, where she was chosen by a Drakkan noble.
Her father couldn't take her in as his wife wouldn't let him, so she was put into an orphanage. There she grew into a lovely young woman, were people told her that she was as beautiful as her mother.
But being an orphan meant that she was higher on the list of young girls that would be chosen for the Reaping. And once she old enough she was taken, her life now in the hands of the Drakkans.
Other:
She has no idea if her parents were both wind elemental's or if she is an oddity as no one will tell her.

Krone

Krone the Scream Taker

Race:
Drakken
Age:
353
Element(s):
Air and Water
Height:
6'6

Bio:

Krone was raised by a strong Drakken woman up until he was 25 after that his father raised him. He was taught to fight and kill in the most effective way possible, his father was well known for coming up with new torture techniques that made the victim last longer. For this he was given a title as the Collector of Screams, and his family elevated to nobility. This meant that Krone would learn how to torture people without them dying too quickly and take a seat in the royal court.

By the age of 115 he was done his training from his father and was ready to earn his name in war and conquest. He was sent out on missions and wars where he did many unthinkable things. Burnt down whole villages, slew thousands and took his pleasures from where ever he pleased. Though he could of gotten a Gem bride sooner, he wished to earn a name first before taking one. As having a name and a bride meant that he was of higher esteem.

When he came back the Drakken Lords debated on his other name as he was a ruthless sort, but they decided to call him Krone the Scream Taker. He was told that for his actions and serving the Drakken kind with loyalty that he would get a bride from the Gemminites. He has always looked forward to having a Gem Bride as that was the ultimate reward for a Drakken Warrior.

Other:

His Armour

Krone's Drakken Wife

Milligan is from a prominent family of Hul'Drang. Her father was the son of Durk who is the head of the family, though her father has no house of his own (so he must still live under his father's house). So any children born of her father belong to her grandfather Durk.
Seeing that Krone was rising in power and taking over his father's house, he wished to get the the king of torture on his good graces. So Milligan was used as a bargaining chip.
Krone accepted the offer, though he had every right to take her, he took time to get to know her and in time she accepted his bed. Krone has two son's by her.

Krone's conquest from the Southern land of Delbrick

She was a young woman from the blighted land of Delbrick. Her people are know as the Dells and are tribal in nature. She was given to Krone as a peace offering and to make him leave the tribes territory. It is unclear if she is the daughter of the chief or was just considered beautiful by her people. She doesn't speak often (as she knows little of the Drakken language) so Krone calls her Cia.

His Branding Mark

Raya T'mivus

Raya T'mivus

Race:
Gem
Age:
18
Element(s):
Earth
Height:
5'7

Bio:
Raya grew up in the northern part of Gemminia, where the terrain is rougher than the rest of the country, but still beautiful. She is the youngest of twelve children, most of which are boys. She only had three sisters, but one was taken for the Reaping and never seen again. The family went through much pain during that time and wished never to go through it again. They prayed to the Great Mother for protection and it seemed like they got it when the next two weren't taken.
During her young years her brothers taught her how to fight, seeing how she had no interest in being a lady. She loved every minute of it, but the thing she loved the most was running bare foot through the Dales Forest not far from her home. Even though her family were all earth Gems, she seemed tell most connected with it.
It was while she was out running in the darkness of the forest that the men from Shadow Worth came to her family. They knew they had one daughter left that was of age, and they wished to see if she was pretty enough to be selected.
When the family told them that she was running in the forest, the Gem guard sent one of the two Drakkens after her. Raya had no idea that she was being hunted, as she was resting by an ancient tree next to a small stream. When the Drakken found her, he simply watched her for a moment before told her to get up. Her eye flew open and looked up at the giant in front of her. "You have come to take me to Shadow Worth?" She asked in a cool voice.
"Yes, your beauty is enough to catch one of the nobles eyes." The Drakken said harshly before motioning her to walk in front of him.
The walk home seemed to take forever only because she could feel the eyes of the Drakken on her. She could fight but they would kill her family and take her sisters. No, it would be best to save her retaliation for the Lord she would be given to.

Reboot - Prized Bride

Hello,
This is a mature rp with dark under currents. I am looking for high casual rp-er's, as I love character development and drama.
If you have any questions after reading please ask, I will be happy to answer.

Intro

It was a lovely spring afternoon when you were call back to the house by your parents, they seemed off in a way, as they looked worn out and more quiet than usual. That is when you see two large guards that came from the palace of Shadow Worth; a chill runs up your spine as a visit from the armed guard was never a good thing. You then see a smaller (though still very tall) man step out between the two large guards. “You have been selected to be a bride for one of the Drakken Nobles.” Say’s the man who gives you a look that says that you are doomed, but that could have been your imagination playing tricks on you. Better yet maybe this whole thing is your imagination, you pinch yourself to make sure it’s not real but to your disappointment it is. “Come, we leave now.” The man says as he grabs your arm and takes you to the carriage before you have a chance to say goodbye to your parents. You stumble into the carriage and look back to see your parents watching as the carriage pulls away fast, a single tear falls from your eyes as a question pops into your head. Why me?

Early History

There was once a time when the Gemminite's were a proud and strong people, always in a favour of peace they were shrewd diplomats and knew how to get what they wanted. They could charm nearly every race that they came into contact, but that was before the savage nations of the south came up from their blighted lands. These nations had no need for diplomacy, they simply invade and take whatever they wanted. They were brutal and savage, the Gem peoples knew that they were not ready for war. In fear they searched for a solution, a way to keep their peace and way of life without having to fight and losing thousands of their people.

That was when a nation to the west of Gemminia came and offered to help. This nation was just as brutal, just as savage as the nations to the south, but they knew how to twist diplomacy to their favour. They offered to fight the enemies of the Gemminites, but they wanted something in return and the Gem people desperate for help, as the southern nations were now on their borders, agreed to whatever the nation of Drakka wanted. The Drakken's pleased with what they got launched their troops for the southern borders of Gemminia.

It was written that the Drakkens fought more savagely than the nations of the south, and that there has never been a people so addicted to the death and horror of war. The blighted peoples of the south fought hard, but their own brutality was nothing compared to the Drakkens. It was only then that the Gemminites wondered what they had agreed to, seeing that they had just made a pact with a people that seemed to love death, war, torture and all things that was against the nature of Gem culture.

Once the war was won, the Drakken lords came to the court of the Gem's. Their armour still covered with blood and gore, their muscles still tense from the fighting, their eyes still seeking a honourable fight or challenge. They were in every way intimidating, and when they asked the Gem court for their prizes, there was confusion among the them. All the court looked to King Nixus, who frowned and nodded and with that the Gem guards grabbed the daughters of the court and gave them to Drakken lords. There was an uproar from the parents of the daughters that were taken, but they were quickly reminded of the power of the Drakkens when Oggar the Horrible threatened to annihilate the court and their country. With that the Drakken lords filed out with their new brides, but before Oggar left he turned to the King saying, "We will be back next year for more brides, if none are ready next year our peace will be... over."

From then on, the Gem peoples have given up their daughters in order to keep the peace and to pay the Drakken's to protect them from the nations that will not use diplomacy.

Plot

The Drakkens get their brides as gifts for noting their success in battle and other success's that are on the side of horrifying. You, the new bride or Drakken noble, go back into the Drakken territory when communications break down between the Drakkens and the Gemminites. This causes the Drakken race to declare war on the Gems which means that the Gems and their peaceful way of life will be Obliterated. It's up to you, the brides, to convince your new husbands (who are nobles) to convince their King and the Court not to go to war with the Gemminites in order to save your homeland.

What Gems and Drakken’s are

They are known as the Gems or Gemminites, they are human looking in nearly every way and have human life spans. Though they are born with the power of one of the four elements, they can control that one element though if used for too long or if they ask it to do something complex it will drain them of their strength. They can have different coloured hair and their skin can "glow" (as if they were covered in glitter).

Drakken’s are large horned race that can live for over 500 years, but look human in all other respects. They also have power over the elements but they have power over two instead of one. They can be brutes when it comes to choosing a female or two. Drakken males can have more than one bride as there isn't many females, since they like to fight and start/go to wars. Though they do have a strong peace treaty with the Gemminites as the Gemminites give the Drakken males free choice over some of the females they have selected for them. Any children born from a one sided Drakken pairing will be Drakken, no matter what. (Their genetics over power the other parents genetics. But if children are born weak or if for some reason have too much Gemminite in them they will be take to the Wilds and left there to die)

So a few things before we go on:

1. Drakken males can have more than one bride so it is okay if there is more females then males.

2. Females cannot over power the males no matter what. (physically speaking, mentally they can whip their butts, it depends on how you play it)

3. Gemminites only get one element and Drakkens get two. (Earth, Fire, Water, Wind)

4. A Gem with a certain element is usually always born to parents of the same element, though there is exceptions.

5. You can play doubles if you like, but if you have a male character then the other must be female. If you have a female character you can be either (unless we have enough males)

Culture: Drakken

• Drakkens live in a harsh environment (deserts, rock filled lands, forests filled with horrible creatures)
• Very few liveable places in Drakka.
• The Drakken Court is made up of War Lords (Who are heads of grand standing families).  The War lords' families have their own mini court which take  care of  strict family things that don't need to go to the high court.
  • These War Lords and important family members are usually the ones allowed to  take mates. So most of the children belong to these few. (Almost like breeding a small army)
  • Any of the Grand standing families may challenge the Kings right to rule. This is rarely done, and has only been done 4 times in all of Drakken history. (As only the strong can rule Drakka)
• There are Drakken females but they are rare as they too love to fight. (plus Drakkens seem to produce more males than females, hence why they take brides elsewhere)
• Drakken's are also not the kindest creatures, living in some of the harshest terrain and having an inbred need to cause chaos makes them difficult.
• Drakkens have a trio of Gods (Drun - God of War, Krenta - God of Death, Sorrak - God of Prolificity)
• Though they have this trio of Gods, they also have lesser Gods. The one most mentioned in Drakken writing is known as Norric, he is said to be the bringer of darkness and a servant of the God trio.
• To ensure that a Gem bride is not stolen or if she happens to run away, the Drakken give them a special mark to let others know who they belong to. (this can be a brand, tattoo or anything that can be seen)

Culture: Gemminite

• Gems live in something like a paradise called Gemminia (Rolling green hills, crystal clear waters, and beautiful cities)
• Gemminite court members are voted in from Grand families, but if a common Gem receives support from the people. They to can be voted into the  court.(A  grand total of seven Gems of each type are on the council at  any one  time, with the exception of the ruling element, which only has three  council members and then the king or queen presiding over each  council  session.)
• Gemminite royalty is a long line of rulers that are usually water Gems as they are usually wise. (There has been families of other elements, usually they ruled when they're most needed)
• Gem's are peaceful beings, and don't like fighting. That is why they give some of their daughters to the Drakken's, so that they get much needed protection.
• Female Gemminites become of age for the Reaping at 18yrs-21yrs
  
  • Most are taken at 18yrs, as most Drakken males don't want anything older.
• Gem's usually marry other Gem's of the same element (so wind with wind, water with water.) So their children will be of the same element.
  
  • A two different element Gem pairing will result in the child getting the element of its same gendered parent.
  • In uncommon cases the child of two different element Gems can get the same element of its parent of the opposite gender. But again this is uncommon.
  • There has been cases where the above have been disregarded and the child having a completely different element than either of the parents. This is really rare though
• Gems have a trio of Goddesses and one God (Naia - Goddess of Water and Wisdom, Auram - Goddess of Air and Liberty, Pyrus - God of Fire and Strength, Vivari - Goddess of Earth and the Great Mother)
• Gem brides have been known to set up small shrines/altars in secret within  their husband's estates to retain their native faith. Typically things  do not go well for the brides if these shrines are found.

Gem Gods - Lore

Vivari the Great Mother

Vivari - Goddess of Earth and the Great Mother

• Vivari was the founder of all the races.
• When the world was young and fertile she gave birth to many creatures; most she loved and nurtured.
• These loved ones were the first races, beautiful and gentle, they represented their mother's gentleness and kindness.
• But the Great Mother's violent side became manifest in her next children, who were vile and delighted in attempting to destroy or enslave the other races.
• Three of these children, Drun, Krenta, and Sorrak, became gods themselves, having drawn great power from the suffering they caused.
• Horrified at what she had created, the Great Mother birthed three others, Naia, Pyrus, and Auram, to try and stop the three hated ones. Into these three good children she poured all of her strength.
• They were to bring balance, but her violent children were themselves too strong, and created  their own children from the flesh of their Mother, weakening her. From the Mother's flesh many vile races were born, overpowering the Elder children. They nearly destroyed their Mother and younger siblings.
• As a final bargain, Great Mother Vivari offered her vile sons valiant, strong enemies to fight in the south, the place that was blighted. But in exchange for this hunting they had to keep their offspring away from the north.
• They agreed, but Vivari knew her children would test her will and power, so she made the Great Spine to at least forestall the inevitable.
• The mountains of the Spine were as high and as deadly as the one who made them; as protective of the Gemminite realm as any mother would be to her favorite daughters.
• To the north of these mountains Vivari and her three children ruled justly and brought prosperity back to their lands.

---

Auram, goddess of Air and Freedom

Auram - Goddess of Air and Liberty

• Auram is the youngest of the Mother's godly children.
• She is creative and rather quiet, always there but rarely noticed unless she's in a temper. Kind of like the element she embodies. Similarly, she is able to change her nature within seconds.
• As an individual she is less powerful than her siblings, but when she is matched with either her brother or sister she makes them stronger. As what is a raging ocean without  the mighty wind? What is a raging fire without the wind to fuel it?

---

Naia, Goddess of Water and Wisdom

Naia - Goddess of Water and Wisdom,

• Naia was the first of her Mother's children.
• Naia, like the waters she governs, is largely calm. It takes a lot to rile her up, but when she does, like a great ocean chruned in a storm, her wrath is a force to be reckoned with.
• Naia was named the keeper of histories and wisdom for her element's stability. While one choice may have been earth, it was determined that even mighty mountains eventually crumble and shift, but water stays forever. Even through drought, storm and flood alike, water is never destroyed; simply changed of form and moved someplace else.
• Water gems are the only ones known to bring their babies through a type of baptismal ritual. Depending upon the clan, a water gem baby will be blessed by the water in the village's most precious reservoir (be it a fresh spring, a fertile ocean, or a cleansing waterfall, it makes no difference so long as it is vital to the settlement). More on this later.

---

Pyrus - God of Fire and Strength

Pyrus - God of Fire and Strength

• Middle child of their mothers second birthing of godly children.
• Pyrus is the ridged back bone of the group, a fearless fighter/warrior and easily set off. He gives strength to the weary and warmth to those that need it,
• He is the only male god in the Gem gods pantheon and is the protector his sisters, mother and the people.
• Fire Gems make up the majority of military and city guard roles.

Mass Effect: Omega Serenade

Raya would call them "The Departed" or "The Reapers" ....... lol

Mass Effect: Omega Serenade

Penoraya T'mivus - Raya

When Daro stepped behind her, she was relieved that she didn't make it a big deal. She stood still as the Quarian cleaned and inspected the wound, which hurt but she kept her face from showing it. That was until Daro whispered something about bosh'tets and bombs, this made her smirk. But the smirk was quickly replaced when Daro told her to stand still and began to pull out whatever it was that was lodged in her back.

The pain would of caused most to buckle or cry out, but she kept her face as normal as possible. She did bite the inside of her lip and her body tensed while in her mind she screamed, but unless you were looking for such signs of pain you would of thought she was just pissed off about something.

Once the debris was out Raya gave a small grunt and took a deep breath in before letting it out slowly. She nodded at Daro without saying anything, she didn't feel like she needed to. She knew that Daro knew she was grateful, so no words needed to be spoken.

Raya looked over at Nik just in time to see him dash his head on the Krogan crest. She smirked again thinking about how her father said that it was okay to headbutt things, and she out of all her sisters did it to pretty much anything that moved, much to her father's pleasure and mothers dismay. She shook her head to clear the thoughts of the past, she watched as the Krogan and the rest of his squad launched a defensive. She knew they were going to die, but damn if they weren't going down hard.

The team was walking away, but she watched the wall a little longer as the men began open fire. She turned slowly before jogging up to the team, which hurt like a bitch, but it wasn't too bad now. Though she was sure that Daro would disapprove of such actions after the mini operation. She reached the team in time to hear Nik's comment about how this was getting very complicated, then Daro's question and the others response to her. "For the team sure it's big, but if you want big take someone out who has political power and is well respected." She said coolly as she remembered taking out an Asari Matriarch.

The Matriarch was powerful and respected by those on the Citadel Council, but damn if that Asari didn't have a dark side. She had a hand in the slave and drug trade, she took family members of other political leaders and threatened to kill them if they didn't comply to her demands. In all she was evil and had many followers. Of course Raya didn't take her out on her own, no, she had a team of Asari that pretended to be followers of the Matriarch. It was a bloody fight and she lost all of her team once she reached the damn Matriarch. What was funny though was that the Asari thought she could talk Raya out of killing her. But those talks didn't last long and a fight soon took its place. They fought for many hours until they were both tired and reduced to hand to hand combat, Raya won by choking her to death.

What was great though was that no one knew what happened to Matriarch, as those that were on her team were dressed like those that followed the damn Asari. So it was a "great mystery" on who killed everyone. Raya never told the team about her exploits and things she had done in the past, but then they didn't ask much.

"You do realize Ardan, that is exactly what we are doing now? Offing Jek's competition so he will become the power house in this area." She said as she checked her gun and looked back up at the back of their newest team members head before commenting on the humans. "Don’t be too angry at the humans, they are simply quick learners and know when to take an opportunity when it arises.... Don't think that your species was any different, indeed all our species took opportunities even if those opportunities were not for the good of all. It's just some species are quicker to take them than others." She said coolly. She knew that her little speech would get her little love from Haze, but he knew her well enough to get over it (maybe not right away though). Ardan would probably get pissy and tell her off or something but she could careless.

She looked over at Nik seeing if he wanted her to stop talking, though it was mostly to see if she was in trouble for making such a comment. Goddess, who would of thought I would be acting like this. Seeking permission to speak! She thought as a light smile played on her lips.

Mass Effect: Omega Serenade

Raya would see that her prey would cause more harm if left alive than the total number of people who are in the small city. So she would kill him.... slowly. She would not give him the satisfaction of dying quickly while those on the planet die in droves. She would make him beg for death for days before finally killing him..... or she would hand his broken (both physically and mentally) but alive body over to the Citadel authorities.

Star Wars - Scum and Villainy

Ubatrazi - Trazi

What Hidan said was interesting, especially the part about one half wanting to kill her and the other wanting to have his way with her. She could deal with the latter but the first one she would have trouble with, so she hoped that one she wouldn't have to see. But she noticed how he didn't really answer her question, sure he told her about his problem with a bit more detail but he didn't explain why he left it out completely from the others. She was going to ask but instead she remained silent and just listened to the sound of Hidan sharpening his sword.

It wasn't long until she felt the ship come to life. She felt her stomach knot for a moment as she realised that she couldn't back out now. She strapped herself into a chair before shutting her eyes and praying to what ever cosmic force was out there. She prayed mostly prayed that no one die and that everything goes smoothly.

Before Trazi knew it they were in at the planet, but she knew that it wasn't going to be a straight shot to their destination. This was the part she hated the most, the evasive flying. She could feel Sia taking her ship practiced moves that only a skilled pilot could do. But this made her stomach knot, her head light and made her want to vomit. Oh she hated flying like this, in small ships that could pull moves like the ones their were currently pulling.

In the middle of her queezy haze she heard Sia yell out about TIE fighters. She knew she was no good at the large stuff, sure it might of been a simple point and shoot. But she rather not risk screwing up the ship or the mission by doing something she wasn't sure about. She could hear the running feet of the others as they answered the call to get to the cannons.

Trazi didn't feel useful, but she knew that she would have her moment soon enough. She would just let her "crew mates" do what they were good at. Once on the planet she hoped to be of more use, seeing as she relied on more than just blasters. Both her and the giant lizard were kind of useless on the ship, or at that very moment anyway.

Oh please let us make back for the money. She thought as she tried not to get sick.
