OOC is up and running!
Let me tell you that this story will not have a happy ending, one way or another. People will die. People will break. People will become mad, and hurl themselves to my arms in an attempt to avoid it or in an act of spite or because they have just given up.

Rude? Of course, I'm being rude. I'm spoiling the ending, not only of this particular story, but most of the stories after this.

I don't have much interest in building mystery. It bores me. Chores me. I know what will happen and so do you. I'm more interested in the machinations that wheel us there. Now that aggravates, perplexes and astounds me. There are many things to think of. There is much story.





~The Kingdom Of Magic~


In a world of magical fantasy is the country of Razelia, the magical capital of said world. It hosts Seraph Academy, the most prestigious magic school in the entire world, and the Great Library Of Razelia, an immensely huge library containing books about almost everything the world has to offer. Many mages and sorcerers consider visiting Razelia an obligation. A pilgrimage of sorts to expand and expound their knowledge in the arts of magic.

The capital of Razelia is Zauberheim. A huge city that is protected by three layers of walls and some mountainous terrain. From here rules the benevolent Reinhardt von Zauberheim, Fifth Ruler of of the Magical Kingdom. Husband to Brunhilde von Zauberheim also known as the Luminous Queen, and father to young Lisianthus von Zauberheim and Lutz von Zauberheim, crowned Princess and Prince of the Kingdom.

It is also in Zauberheim where the aforementioned Seraph Academy is located. While it is a school dealing with the teachings of sorcery and alchemy, it is also a renowned combat school. Students there are able to learn various martial arts and weapons training. It is after all, one the most well known academic institutes that powerful mage knights arise from.

Every year there is a festival held in the capital to celebrate the graduating class of the academy. Part of the festival is a tournament held between the top graduating students. The tournament is a 32 contestant five-round competition set in the arena on the school grounds. Those who do well in the tournament are rewarded with prizes such as money and status increase. Any student who wins is guaranteed a spot in the Royal Knights squadron.

Sometimes officials like to invite outside "special opponents" to participate in the event. This is because they sometimes feel it's nice to let students see what it's like to fight opponents with real combat experience.

Do you have what it takes to win?

~WORLD LORE~


The Twin Goddesses






Minor Gods




RACES













Players will be students participating in the tournament though they can be one of the outsiders or even the faculty and staff although being a student participant is strongly encouraged.

I look forward to your characters~!





FAQs
How many characters are allowed per player?
Three.

What is the player limit?
I'll stop accepting when the voices in my head tell me to.

I have more questions.
Then ask away!
Looks enough people are interested. Let me get to work on the OOC.
#1: How many characters are we allowed to control? The concept I'm angling for calls for two, a student and his companion.


I'm leaning to two for now but it might change in the future.

#2: How is necromancy seen in this kingdom? Is it super secret and forbidden? Accepted as a legitimate practice? Does it even exist?


Necromancy exists but it's super-super hard. Even the great Archsages and Master Warlocks have difficulty making a dead body move. It is said only the gods can truly reanimate the dead.
Welcome, friends. Welcome to a world of fantasy. Of magics and sorcery and the arcane. Of kings and wizards and knights. Of alchemists and warriors and rogues. Of majestic castles and sacred temples and mysterious lairs. Of Men and Elves and Beastkin and many other races.

But this story is not an epic journey of a chosen one. Nor is it the adventures of a ragtag group bound together by circumstance or coincidence. No, this is a more personal story.

This is the story of one boy who will change an entire nation and, in turn, the whole world.

...

I suppose it is an adventure of epic proportions after all.

And that is what this RP will be about. Or at least half of it. Players will be a student participating in the tournament though they can be one of the outsiders or even the faculty and staff although being a student participant is strongly encouraged.

This is just an interest check so the Character Sheets and more will be on the OOC. Don't hesitate to ask any questions~

The Great Horizons
~@Silver Carrot (REB), @Restalaan (DIT)~

"First of all, do you mean weeks, or generations? There's a fairly large gap there between those two time periods. Second, what exactly are you trying to find at Boreal Port? Third, to get to the port, it's pretty much straight west from here. In fact, the guildhouse is about halfwau between here and Boreal Port."
Eilidh Chiron


"I-I think the week-generation thing was just a figure of speech, Eilidh." Neil interjected.

"Right you are, dear sir!" Samuel agreed with Neil before returning to Eilidh. "As for your second question, Miss. Well, to be honest with you I have no idea." He answered. "My grandfather vowed that at least one member of our family will make it to the Stormy Seas. My father had made his trip across five regions trying to fulfill that vow and now here I am, continuing the journey." Samuel explained. "I suppose I could establish something in Boreal Port. But I have to get there first, don't you think?"

"Well, thanks for the directions, Miss Centaur." He produced a small pouch and handed them to you. "There, one hundred gold coins." He then stood up and began walking out of the tavern. "Again, thanks for listening to my perhaps silly request. I shall wish you good fortune in the days to come and I hope you do the same for me." With that, Sam exited the tavern a happier man. "To the great horizons!"

Neil chuckled a bit at the spectacle. "Nice job on handling that. And one hundred gold coins? That's a lot... right?" He said to Eilidh before clearing his throat. "Anyway, should we head back or do you two want to stay here for a while and explore?" He then surveyed the tavern. "I mean, we have gold so I guess you can spend some on some alcohol or something. I'll pass though. Not very fond of the beer and wine stuff."



Let No Man Put Asunder
~@Silver Carrot (REB), @Eviledd1984 (LIL)~

Lily was successfully pulled from whatever that had grabbed her when she was pulled down. However, investigating it revealed that it were merely some hard, rough plants that entangled Lily's legs and feet. They appear to be long dead so even if they were extraordinary plants, right now they only posed as minor obstacles easily removed.

There really is nothing more to this forgotten ruin and it would take quite a long time for it to be renovated and refurbished to properly host a grand wedding. Perhaps trying to repair this church could be beyond the guild's abilities for now. Talking to the old lady for alternatives like an alternate church to host the wedding might be the best way.

However, the old lady appeared to have disappeared. Searching for clues, the two women would find footprints that led away but they ended before it could reveal anything more. Rebecca and Lily could try to search for the old lady and bring her back or they could throw in the towel for this bothersome quest and rendezvous with Yang and Maria in Ambran.

~@Restalaan (YNG), @Eviledd1984 (MAR)~

"If we're to convince your wife, you're gonna also cooperate with us. Your wife must have a reason why she would leave you, or trying to at least. Mind explaining or what you figure the reason is?"
Yang Bethlehem

"Do you know why she had left? what happened that you two would be separated?"
Maria Falena


"Ahhh, it's just typical woman stuff." Peter dismissively answered the questions asked to him. "She thinks I cheated on her. I told her it wasn't what it looked like but did she listen? 'Course not." He explained. "You're going to need more than talk with that b****, though."

------

If Yang and Maria had no more questions, they then went over to the station which was quite near to the bar so they did not have to walk much. There Yang and Maria found a woman in a homely, green dress along with a couple of bags. Despite looking beautiful, her mood was quite foul as she paced back and forth, awaiting a stagecoach impatiently.

The moment Yang and Maria approached, she mouthed off. "If that useless, whore-mongering bastard sent you, get lost!" She yelled, suspecting you were there for her. Correctly suspecting, that is.

"Well, if I am not imposing... My name is Ozmandius Skyway, but people just call my Ozzy. I actually can be a bit useful. I know several languages and am fully fluent. I can do research jobs, writing, transcribing. And if you just need an extra pair of hands, I can make myself into a pretty fast courier. So yes, if I can work for my bread, as it is said, I will not let you down."
Ozzy Skyway


"Well then, welcome aboard Ozmandius Skyway." Bart shook your extended hand. "I'm sure you'll be a big help to The Guild."

"Now then, it's getting a little too late for you to undertake a quest so I suggest you just sit back and relax for now." Bart suggested to you. "Although, can you tell me more about yourself? Like why you want to explore this... monster-human-economy things? And in turn, you can ask me anything about The Guild though I cannot guarantee that there's an answer for all of them."

"You can also see our members who are still here. I believe Haley and Talia are here. They're a Siren and a Cyclops respectively."
We've successfully used every race available in the list.

Do we get an achievement or something?
Whew, that was a doozy.
