The Blue Sylph

Exile: A Sci-Fi RP On an Untamed World

Thinking of making a sort of PMC/Industry big company that came about by an alliance between a merc or ex-military folks and a daring entrepreneur who do recognizance into locales outside of the safe zone for materials, resources and good locations, go clear them out, secure a route and establish and outpost for the company to then acquire the materials and either use it in their industry or sell them or even the outpost off to the nations. Think that may be possible, Pepperm1nts? I could also maybe just do the military side and perhaps ally with the mining company we got so far if it seems like two much what I propose.

A Vision of Doom and An Unlikely Hope - Warcraft Adventure RP

Final, shameless bump.

A Vision of Doom and An Unlikely Hope - Warcraft Adventure RP

So we, will be needing at least two more characters to get things going, up to a maximum of a group of around 7 or 8.

A Vision of Doom and An Unlikely Hope - Warcraft Adventure RP

Good day, everyone! Here comes an idea for a new RP I had in mind and discussed with my Co-GM, Red Savant.

Given the great world of Warcraft franchise, wouldn't it be fun to explore it and play in it in an RP? Thus we got to planning and came up with a rather simple plot which should let us go all around and have a good diversity of characters.

The timeline would be just before the start of the events in the Burning Legion expansion in World of Warcraft, where so many big players of the world are still alive and kicking. During a skirmish between the warriors of the Alliance and the Horde, on a corner of the pitched battle something interrupts the fight. An Orcish Shaman runs from a shadowy and fell foe, wounded to death when he runs into the battle, giving the warriors of both sides a look at the evil which pursues the man before he falls over among them.

With his dying words, he bids the few warriors of both sides to take a peculiar medallion and go to some hidden ruins for the sake of all Azeroth. Evil is afoot, one who has tried for so long to engulf the entirety of Azeroth in death and destruction. Giving them a vision of what is to come, the man perishes and the group which were enemies but moments ago must band together and travel all through Azeroth, slipping through conflicts big and small, avoid the gaze of greater evils as they venture into long forgotten ruins to gather the means to stop an incoming threat.

Players would be free to play any of the races or anything that is reasonable. You may take base on the classes available on the MMO or simply make up your character with whatever skills and equipment you desire as long as it fits the setting. The emphasis will be in interaction, exploration and growth as we travel and find long lost secrets.

If you are interested then let me give you the character sheet to start making your character with. A few things to take into account. We shall be starting our game somewhere on the Eastern Kingdoms, it's been roughly 6 years since the end of Warcraft III: Wrath of the Lich King when Arthas crowned himself as the Lich King. A year before that, Archimonde was defeated when he attacked the World Tree and a year before that started the Plague of the Scourge and Thrall led the Orcs to Kalimdor.

As for your characters, remember you may come from all walks of life and while you can stick to the classes in the MMO if they suit your needs, you can certainly ignore them and tailor your character to what you want to play. I'm thinking the characters are not complete novices to fighting or adventuring, or if you are, you are extremely talented, and more likely fall somewhere in the mid range of power. You're not a famous hero or one of the major names in any faction but you shouldn't be brushed off as just another warrior. Feel free to have few magical items to your name, Red Savant and I will try to gauge what is alright or too much as it comes up.

Name:What are you called? Include aliases and titles.
Gender: What gender do you have?
Age:For how long have you lived?
Race: What race do you belong to?
Appearance:What do you look like and what do you wear?
Personality: What do you act like? What do you think like? What do you believe in?
Associations, Allies, Pets:What factions are you a member of? What allies, servants, connections do you have? What pets, minions, mount or the like do you have?
Gear, Weapons and Belongings: What weapons, armor, gear and other possessions do you carry with you? If magical, what do they do?
Skills, Abilities, Magic:What can you do? If you have special skills, attacks, abilities or spells do list them. Also list mundane skills, like cooking, athletics, scholarly knowledge and the like.
Bio: What has your life been like that eventually drew you to this battlefield somewhere in the Eastern Kingdoms?

Do note that the GMs will be using player characters as well and take part in the adventure. Red Savant will most likely use a Tauren Hunter and my own character, a human mage, lies below as an example. Do note that you don't need to be quite as extensive when building your character as I was.

Sample Character Sheet

Name: Selina Northall
Gender: Female
Age: 22
Race: Human
Appearance: Basically this appearance, though wearing more conservative clothes in a long tunic, pants, brown boots and a cloak. Around her neck she wears a chain from which hangs the symbol of Dalaran and on her hands she wears a pair of long gloves with jewels encrusted on the back of the hand.
Personality: Selina, like most mages, is a person of keen intellect, boundless curiosity and a scholarly attitude. She's bright and pleasant to be around, though she can be stubborn and a bit set in her ways. While she appreciates new knowledge and working onto it, the core of her beliefs are something she's quite reticent to change. She has a deep love for arcane magic and power, considering it an expression of her own person and an integral part of her being... and thus, she's quite defensive about the potentially corrupting properties of the same. However, she keeps an open mind and interest about other kinds of magic even if just from an scholarly point of view. Having been born of the city of Stratholme, where the valorous Silver Hand was founded, Selina has a deep respect and wonder for the Holy Light, indeed, in another life she may have followed a path under it. However, she bears a great hatred for undead and the plague which destroyed her homeland... specially the Lich King himself, Arthas Menetil who she once admired and looked up after.
Associations, Allies, Pets:

Mage of Dalaran: Selina is a proud citizen of Dalaran, servant of the Kirin Tor and thus allied to its organization of spell casters. She has a respectable home on the city.
Human of the Alliance: As a Human and former citizen of Stratholme, she does have a natural inclination towards the Alliance and would likely be welcomed into their cities, however as a Dalaran mage she remains neutral in this new war. Indeed, a great many of her teachers and friends are High Elves who are being cast as enemies of Humanity given recent events.

Nahris, the Iron Hawk: She additionally has a pet in the form of Nahris, an iron hawk which is her magical familiar, an animal bonded with her through an arcane link. While they can't yet speak in any tongue, they tend to understand one another. The silver feathered bird has Selina's personal mark inscribed upon its forehead and through it they are linked. Selina can use her magic to temporarily see through the eyes of the feathered raptor and communicate with it at a distance. She can also use a spell to summon him to her side.

Gear, Weapons and Belongings:

Seal of Dalaran: A magical artifact in the form of the necklace around her neck, upon which hangs the eye which is the symbol of the city of Dalaran and the Kirin-Tor. An amulet whose function is quite basic, yet essential for a mage, it naturally attracts arcane energies, allowing a magic user to more easily cast their spells using it and to replenish their stores of mana. It can also work as something of a battery storing a moderate amount of arcane power within it.

Gloves of Magical Focus: A gift from her teacher when she began her travel outside of the city of Dalaran. These are a pair of gloves with magical gemstones attached to the back of the hand. These work by giving the mage a focus upon which to unleash their inner energies, providing greater power to their spells with a lesser amount of power expended.

Protective Cloak: The brown cloak which Selina wears is her sole defensive means besides whatever evasion or defensive spells she may weave. It is in general enchanted to give protection from physical threats by mean of a magical field around the wearer which somewhat mitigates damage. However, the cloak itself can be reinforced with arcane power to temporarily improve its protective qualities and thus used as an impromptu shield. Additionally, unlike the rest of her gear, the cloak is not enchanted with normal, arcane magic. Instead it has engraved a rune for protection on the back, from which it draws its magical power.

Selina's Endless Tome, Everink Feather and other books: Selina's own creation is a leather-bound book, inscribed with sigils whose main asset is the magic to both never run out of pages and the ability to hold as many pages as necessary at the same weight and size within it. Split by the way of some markers, the Tome works as both her personal magic tome, her journal, sketchbook, map book, notepad and the like. Attached to it, is an Everink feather which never runs out of ink. Additionally to this tome, for traveling she carries a book of universal arcane theory, a book of theory for arcane summoning and a book on linguistics and writing systems, both new and old.

Miscellaneous: Selina carries a backpack on her travel, on which she keeps her books, a letter of identification from Dalaran, a bracelet from her home, a couple change of clothes, a bed roll, wax, a signet ring, a dagger, waterskin and some rope.
Skills, Abilities, Magic:

Arcane Magic: Selina is a trained mage of the city of Dalaran, a prodigy in the arcane arts fully educated in using spells to protect herself, attack her foes and go around her daily life.

Evocations: The primary means of offense of a mage, as a wizard of Dalaran Selina is highly proficient at evocating both flames, ice and sheer arcane power to bear against her enemies.

Summoning: Though not her specialty, Selina is quite capable of doing summoning rituals and has memorized a spell to bring into Azeroth an Earth Elemental to assist in battle.

Enchanting: With enough materials, time and effort, Selina can enchant items to imbue magical properties upon them.

Transformation: One of the mages most infamous skill, that of turning something into something else. Greatest feat of this kind is being capable of using the shape shift spell to temporarily turn an enemy into a harmless critter, though the bigger or more powerful the enemy, the harder it is for the spell to work and the less time it shall be effective.

General Magic: Selina may use telekinesis to move with her magic things up to about 25 kilograms with ease, summon magical lights, conjure tasteless food and water, carve her magical mark upon something and other such spells. She may also attempt to use a Counter-spell against an enemy magic user and blink to move instantly a short distance away.

Skills and Abilities: Additionally from her magical skills, Seline is an avid reader, with good at penmanship and painting. She knows the basics of cooking, though she's only just passable at it. She keeps her body fit to better house her mind and as an active and bright girl, it's not hard for her to find motivation to at least maintain herself in good shape. She knows the Common tongue as well as Thalassian, some Kalimag and is currently learning Darnassian. She has a keen mind and good memorization skills.

Bio: Selina Northall was born and raised in the human Kingdom of Lordaeron, in its second greatest city of Stratholme. Her father ran one of the city refineries, placing the family in a good economic position to allow their young daughter to get an education from an early age. However, aside from her studies, Selina's life was as happy and carefree as any children's... running through the streets, bathing in the lake and sitting on the roofs to see the processions of the great Paladins of the Silver Hand, specially the esteemed hero Lord Uther and even on occasion the young Prince Arthas Menethil. Those were days full of childish joy, in a world protected by Light, good and heroes walking through the very streets on which the kids played their games. However, Selina's path would take a severe turn upon the visit of a family friend by the name of Leios Leafbloom. A high elf mage from Silverymoon, who studied upon the mage city of Dalaran, who befriended her father when he required his chemist expertise for a particular alchemical discovery. Through their work, the two worked out an unlikely friendship years before, and since the elf mage was passing through the human city he decided to stay with her family for a few days. During those days, he came to become interested in the 10 year old human girl for her cleverness, her impeccable record of studying and what he felt within... an untapped arcane potential. After a couple days of work, young Selina proved herself by mastering the small magical cantrips his elven teacher taught her... and in it, she fell in love with arcane magic and its wonders. A recently made master, Leios wished for an apprentice to instruct on manners arcane... however, unsure due to his lack of expertise as a teacher, he preferred to have a... test run, to call it something, with an apprentice whose life span will come and go much more quickly than the commitment that may be taking in a elven pupil. Thus, with some sweet talking and the promise and prestige of having a mage daughter, the Northall allowed their eldest daughter to part ways with them and be taken by the elven man to Dalaran. Her mother gave Selina a bracelet with the initials of her whole family, father, mother, little brother and the baby daughter her mother was pregnant with at the moment. It was a sad but hopeful parting... however, young Selina didn't have much time to be homesick as she soon had the singular honor to step with her teacher into elven lands, the breathe in the enchanted air of Quel'Thalas and see the natural wonder and magic of such a place. It was an experience that forever marked her and only renewed her desire to learn magic, as she stood over a hill and saw on the distance the beauty of Silvermoon and the majestic Sunwell on the distance. She never actually entered the city or came close to it, as they met up with a friend of Leios that hill, who cast for them the portal that would take them to Dalaran. And there, from one wondrous sight, she receive another. Selina fell in love with the mage city and was honored to be a part of it. She dug into her studies earnestly, with a fervent desire to learn that was rewarded by the beauty of magic. Among the high points of her career were watching the great Antonidas work his magic for the city and to attend a class given by Archmage Rhonin. However, Selina's life... like that of many, took a dark turn by the moment of the Scourge. To hear of the fate of her dear city of Stratholme, of the purge by Arthas, of the turning by Demons and then the subsequent taking over by the undead were a shock that stuck her very heart. At age 15 she was there when Arthas brought his undead to Dalaran, casting spells to desperately try to defend her new home. Needless to say, she failed and saw many of her friends fall that day... as well as Antonidas, one of her heroes. All by the hand of the blight that was Arthas Menethil, once her Prince and Hero who she saw from afar as a symbol of all that was wrong and evil in the world. She survived, as did many mages... barely, but they survived to see the great demon Archimonde destroy their beautiful city. Once the greatest darkness moved from their enchanted city, young Selina knowing both fear, sadness and hate like never before joined her fellow mages in fighting the undead within and rallied by the remains of the Kirin-Tor embarked upon a mission of reconstruction. Years passed of building anew what was once destroyed... but the mages of Dalaran did not let the demons destroy their spirits. Selina grew from a hopeful child, to a scared young mage into a strong wizard woman, one of the brightest of her generation. She embarks away from her city for the first time in a long time, on a short research journey to once again see what lies beyond the walls of the arcane city, not knowing that she would soon stumble upon something greater.

War of the Force: The Angel's Relic

Hey sometimes enemies to the Republic are far away from comfortable lightsaber-cutting distance ;-; :p

War of the Force: The Angel's Relic

Sorry for adding yet another post, but I'm glad you like Jayneth's concept Kurai :) Glad to be in.

War of the Force: The Angel's Relic

Alright, finally finished my sheet! Took me surprisingly long to hammer it all down... so most probably I think I'll just stay with one character unless I get great inspiration to write that tanky dark sider.

Character Sheet:

Basic Information

Name: Jayneth Orlearis
Age: 27
Gender: Female
Species: Echani
Homeworld: Eshan, Inner Rim
Current Residence: Corruscant
Current Occupation: Jedi Knight serving in the Republic Army
Affiliation: Republic

Physical Info

Appearance: Jayneth's appearance is greatly marked by her Echani heritage, as are all in her species. As such, her long hair is a silver color, as are her eyes and she has pale skin. Her build is lithe and athletic, packed with compact but effective muscles and stands at a height of 1,68 meters.

Casual Attire: Jayneth's casual attire consists of mostly long, sturdy military style pants, in either brown, forest green or other subdued colors, a simple white top for really relaxed occasions with a jacket on top otherwise. She wears sturdy leather boots as a norm and her hair in a high ponytail or loose depending on the circumstances.

Battle Attire: For Jayneth's combat attire, she wears a mix and match of light Echani armor and Republic Scout armor, prioritizing mobility while adding as much protection as possible without sacrificing this all important attribute. Her armor has blue details to it and a black half cape hanging from the back of the belt. She avoids wearing her Jedi robe over her armor in most circumstances, but when she steps out of her soldier role, she does find it comforting.

Personal Info

Personality: Jayneth is a hands-on-the-issue kind of problem solver, direct and getting straight to the point. While she much prefers action to reaction, this does not mean she lacks in patience. Indeed, she can spend hours on a single spot waiting for the right moment to move so long as the wait has a clear purpose and she gets to keep watch. While practising the teachings of the Jedi Order, she knows she fails in a few aspects due to her love of combat and somewhat passionate nature which seeps into putting great enthusiasm into what she does. Still, despite this unconventional trait for a Jedi, the words compassion, loyalty and duty resonate strongly within her and thus she remains a fierce warrior for the defenceless and protector of the Galaxy.

Connections: 124th Special Division Squad of the Republic Army who may or many not, be assigned to the mission with her. This is a twelve member of team of republic troopers specialized in small scale, high precision missions around the galaxy. Also Lairin Orlearis, Jayneth's mother and an Echani matriarch in charge of a small province in Eshan. She and her sisters have shown willingness to support their family. Finally, the Jedi Temple in Corruscant where she was trained, specially her original Master, another Echani woman by the name of Brielle Mornth, as well as some links to the Republic Army.

History: Jayneth was born third daughter to Lairin Orlearis and her husband, a pair who ruled over a small province of the Eshan planet. However, as is the case with many Force Sensitive children in the Galaxy, she was discovered by a Jedi recruiter at her third year of age and the temple requested to raise the girl to be a Jedi Knight. After some discussion, the mother agreed, however she requested that eventually she be trained by Brielle Mornth so that she may not neglect her Echani heritage. Given the value of such teachings in combat, specially in such a dark time for the galaxy, this compromise was accepted. Then Jayneth's training started like that of all disciples. She took to her life with great enthusiasm, with her trainers finding her ever eager to try her best in her lessons, even if she struggled with the more esoteric elements of the Jedi life... and had a bit of a propensity to get into fights. Still, she managed to progress into becoming a Padawan to Master Brielle... who took time of their training to teach the young woman the ways of combat and culture of the Echani... helping her focus her warrior instincts and cool her temper and anxiousness for battle. The two went on many missions and adventures together until the moment where Jayneth was finally seen as fit to become a Jedi Knight. From there, she opted to continue engaging in battle for the safety of the Galaxy, joining up with the Republic Army. That is where she met the 124th Special Division Squad. As a Jedi Knight she was a valuable asset on the battlefront and assigned many special missions and the 124th was assigned to protect and assist her in battle. For nearly a whole year of fighting together, Jayneth mostly kept her distance from the soldiers fighting around her... taking pride in her Jedi teachings and Echani training to fight on her own. It was during this time that upon visiting a city for some downtime, she was attacked by mysterious assailants... who in truth, revealed themselves to be her mother, two sisters and a small guard of Echani warriors. Her family wished to meet her and see for themselves what the Jedi training had to done for Jayneth. After a couple of days of getting to know each other, they departed, giving Jayneth a way to reach them and telling the youg woman that they are family despite anything and will try to support her if needed. A bit shaken by the encounter, Jayneth returned to her military life and back to the troopers and battlefield. However, as time passed and she looked at the warriors of the 124th through the eyes of an Echani fighter, she came to understand and appreciate them and their methods. To respect the way they fought and see how her flashy Jedi style often put the more methodical and cautious soldiers in trouble. She became curious and wished to learn more of this third path... that of the Republic Trooper. With great humility, she came to them and eventually requested that they teach her some of their ways. How to shoot, use explosives, take point, fight as they do. Though initially surprised by the request, their Squad Leader eventually accepted... and for the last four years, Jayneth has fought first as a member of the 124th. She learned to use their precision and abilities while better complimenting them with her own gifts as a Jedi. Now, learning of this new mission, Jayneth was quick to volunteer her blend of skills.

Lightsaber Form III, Soresu: Jayneth focused on two different styles of ligthsaber fighting, the first of which is the fully defensive form of Soresu which allows her to prolong fights, defend herself and allies from concentrated attacks and tire out her opponent.

Lightsaber Form IV, Ataru: Jayneth's second specialization, the highly mobile Ataru meshes well with her warrior nature and high mobility. Using strong and acrobatic attacks, this style is for when Jayneth wants to end a fight quickly.

Echani Combat Training and Senses: As a trained Echani warrior, Jayneth is an expert in hand to hand combat and has the uncanny ability to infer a lot of information from an opponent simply by the way they fight.

Trooper Training: After a few years of fighting at their side, Jayneth has learned how to wield blasters, rifles and grenades with proficiency as well as the way these commandos move and fight. She also has a rudimentary knowledge of piloting, though this is more akin to a normal person learning to drive instead of being a focused pilot.

Special Abilities: None

Other Info

Notes: None.

War of the Force: The Angel's Relic

Gotta sleep now so I will make my profiles tomorrow. So far, I'm thinking of a big Keshiri Sith fighter. A veritable tank and powerful warrior wielding a lightclub... so pretty much not sneaky or subtle at all :p That he will leave to his other Sith allies. As for the Jedi side, I'm thinking of an Echani female who while not ignoring her people's tradition of agile fighting in meele also couples it with a bit of Trooper training and embracing long range weaponry.

Old Republic Era Star Wars RP

Interested! May play a Jedi... or if we lack players, double up and go Sith as well.

Heir of the Mitsumine Clan

"I'm glad he found with such a resolve and vigor, young Ryuunosuke. However, if he is still the boy that left our halls, I'm afraid to say that for the sake of the Boar Clan, he will not be named our heir. There is more to ruling than being the strongest man around, certainly.. but a soft man cannot bear the weight of the leading the Boar. Not our people. I do hope that, in your care, he may find another calling in life... to be happy if he may. Perhaps he can be useful to our people and you in another capacity. But the Kitsune I knew, will never, be the man with the strength to lead our clan, as much as it pains me to say it" says the red Boar with a certain level of finality.

"Now, if the next time I see him he truly obtains the strength needed... if he truly is another man, then we may reconsider"
