Sole Fiction

Bounded Ideas;Limited World

Hello there! If you're reading this, we're going to go ahead and assume that you're curious about what, exactly, this monumental roleplay is. The following will provide all the necessary information, including details that will indicate whether or not Sole Fiction is for you.

What is "Sole Fiction," Anyway?

Sole Fiction is a Condensed-Universe RP. you probably haven't seen those anywhere on the site, but this is the only form they can possibly exist in, so once you've seen this one, you've seen them all. You may compare a Condensed-Universe to a Multiverse, where characters from various pieces of fiction and OCs can exist, but in a Condensed-Universe, all possibilities MUST exist. If a character can exist in the universe, it does. Also, a Condensed-Universe takes place in a singular world, rather than many separate worlds. Due to the infinite, but singular scale of Sole Fiction, the impossible becomes not just possible, but inevitable.
Arguably one of the most prominent examples of that is our casual treatment of extremely "overpowered" characters. We exceed planet busting here—it can get as far as exploding stars and taking all that energy for oneself, or even farther. The interactions in Sole Fiction are worthy of the scale they're set in, by far.

Okay; How Does it Work?

Sole Fiction is a universe for true intellectuals. We don't follow plots, or a coherent story structure in any way, shape, or form. Instead, we make shit up as we go, being unable to actually make sense of what is going on, and therefore must rely on the actions of our characters (aka just make more shit up.) Here you have to be willing to adjust—that's vital. If it doesn't go the way we want it to, we make it go the way we want it to.

Because of this, we've developed a sense of urgency and involvement in Sole Fiction. Because there's no plot to this RP, we can't be sure of what's actually happening. We don't give a shit about your characters, or any silly arcs.. If you're not willing to save the Condensed-Reality, someone else will do it off-screen. It's as simple as that. Even if you take the place set for you in saving the Condensed-Reality, your actions will always have no meaning, as is expected in a quality roleplay.

The Infamous Requirements

Perhaps you're thinking it's too good to be true. There's got to be some catch. And yes, we're not ashamed to say that there are some important requirements that you must be sure you can meet before you can effectively participate. First of all is adaptability: we've already mentioned it a couple of times, but you need to be flexible. SF is different from "conventional" RPs in many aspects, which we consider a good thing. We're not going to change for you.

Secondly, we don't enforce grammatical standards. We embrace the inevitability of errors, and therefore accept and welcome all typing errors. Also I have no intention of reading your posts to check your grammar.

Thirdly, you need to understand how to obfuscate. Being clear and honest with what you mean will get you a swift ban. Never have a character say what they mean, and always accidentally imply things you don't intend. The truth is a tool only bad writers want to use. Do not describe what your character is feeling, seeing, doing, or anything else. We can create immersion through confusion. As long as the reader is completely unaware of what is occurring, they will be transfixed and wish to delve further. If you want to convey something, do not.

Finally, do not have dedication. I should see weeks between posts, and near-constant dropping. The best case scenario is that people drop after a single post, and a new wave of players join every month. If you want, you may post every 5 minutes, but this will only lead to your own disappointment. Maintaining a solid distance from Sole Fiction will manage your expectations and prevent you from ascending to the 5th realm beyond this mortal plane with how woke you'll become.

Perhaps you're reading this now, after all that, and it seems... perhaps daunting. Well, you can trust us when we say that it is—You will not get into this roleplay. In the end, you will regret joining, and your only solace will be inevitably forgetting about this in a few years. So, if you want to make a mistake and join, keep reading.

Rules, Guidelines, Entry, and Extra Info

Besides those requirements we talked about, there are still some rules. They're pretty simple and easy to follow.

• We have no limit on maturity of content, including plot darkness, violence, life issues, etc. However, the one restriction is that there must be some sexual content somewhere. It should not be blatant, as outright smut must be faded to african american and slid into the DMs. If you can think of adult-tinged thoughts for your character, include them. This will tie into the following rule, but generally this requirement of at minimum sexual thoughts is for a celebration of diversity.
• Please, no heterosexual relationships or activities of the sort. It'd be easier for all of us if it's not mentioned at all without creating a huge ordeal.
• Do not respect other players or their characters. God-modding is expressly allowed, as it can be remedied with more god-modding. We are trying to avoid plot progression, so please do this as much as physically possible. When someone tells you to stop doing something, please continue to do it. There are no limits to your actions, unless those actions violate the above rules.
• Posts MAY NOT be longer than a single sentence. They may be a run on sentence, but they must only last for a single sentence overall. There can only be one period in a post that is not part of an ellipses (which is specifically three periods separated by spaces, aka . . .) anything else will result in immediate removal from the Roleplay and the non-existence of your character.

Now a singular guideline:

• We have a special posting style that we believe makes for the greatest immersion possible. There is to be no differentiation between speech and actions. If you are using multiple characters, refrain from making them distinct in order to add to the confusing atmosphere we are going for. Here's an example:

Hi there, says Jack who waves at me and I respond simply by saying I am fine, followed by the black knight who is less fine.

• You may have noticed that this line is clusterfuck, and also in first person. This is intentional. First person is recommended, though feel free to experiment with anything that isn't third person for the purposes of obfuscation. Second person, and even 99th person are viable options.

Character Creation

There are several things to note when it comes to creating a character. Keep all of it in mind.

• Your character is not important to us. Throw shit at the wall, we don't really give that much of a shit.
• You can pretend to be creative, but nothing truly creative exists, as all things innevitably have already been produced within Sole Fiction. Do whatever.
• We don't care what the powerlevel of your character is, as the point of this RP is to obfuscate what is going on enough to draw more people in and continue the cycle.
• Don't expect your character to win fights, or even have fights, or do anything. In fact, expect them to do as little as possible and you'll do well enough.
• As you can already guess, nothing We've mentioned here even matters, do what you want.
• There is no character sheet. Make your own, or don't make one. To be honest, a name isn't even necessary. You don't even need a character, roleplay as nothing if you want to.

Entering the IC

So you've come across the RP, decided to make a character, and spent hours contemplating the intricacies of our bullshit RP. Well, for one you've made a massive mistake, but here's what you need to do to actually get started: post in the IC. Interrupt someone else's conversation, intervene in a fight, show up in the desert with nobody present. No one actually gives a shit what you do as long as you do it.

Extra Information

• Some might compare this RP to Myriad Reality, because the language we use in this OOC post is so similar. I assure you, this RP is completely unrelated to MR, as it is completely the opposite. For one, we allow homosexuals, unlike the bigots who run MR, and we do not allow straight, bigoted characters.

Celestial Bonds

We have another slot available if anyone is interested. We've been slow starting due to several people have events coming up in their lives at inopportune times, but we are still moving. I'd hope to actually start within two weeks.

The Collected Garbage of VarionusNW

Character 1: Arkiyel 'ein
Roleplay: Academy of the Arcane Artes
Upload Date: October 12th, 2014
Drop Date: December 11th, 2014
Drop Reason: RP died.
Context: Basically, I saw this one RP and thought it was cool. It was late 2014, so I would've just started my second year of high school, and therefore been in the middle of transitioning between my dumb awkward kid phase and my edgy asshole phase. So, arguably this is the worst time to be me. I had began RPing on a forum where all RPs had to include dragons, so I though dragons were cool, therefore I thought a lot about Draconians, which are like Dragons but are also people. I had full on lore for the race, and AAA seemed like the perfect setting to throw them at. The people from AAA are what kept me around for the following two months, as it's one of my favorite RP casts. I'm still friends with several of the people here, though we were a bit closer in the two or three years right after this died. So, now that I've reminisced about the Oldfucks, lets look at Ark:

Arkiyel 'ein

Ok, Here's the best image I could find. I somehow found something. Problem is it doesn't have wings and the armor looks stupid, as well as the angle being pretty bad for a character picture. So I guess I will still do a desc. along with this.
Ark stands at about 6 feet tall, which is relatively average size for a draconian. His scales are a pristine white, with an *insert wingspan here because I honestly cant bother to think at 2 in the morning, though I may change this later*.
The fact that I never actually edited in a wingspan causes me some pain. I had two months to decide, and I just forgot. That's quality content.
He usually wears some sort of a cloak and armor (probably some form of the armor in the picture, minus the weapons, things on his arms, and thing on his neck) or a long shirt and pants, varying between red, white, and grey. His eye color is a dull grey, which is actually quite common in light draconians. He keeps his quiver of arrows at his side rather than on his back because, well, we can't have a quiver of arrows preventing his flight, can we?

Grey eyes, though justified here, are a deliberate element of edge. This will be accounted for in the edge score.
I overused parentheses on this sheet and I don't know why. It's all pointless, and could easily be written in a different way.

Full Name
Arkiyel 'ein

Nickname(s)
Ark, as his real name is a bit difficult to say sometimes.

What the fuck was I thinking? Arkiyel 'ein doesn't make sense, sounds stupid, and isn't even correctly capitalized. I had this gimmick where I thought it was cool to put apostrophes in random places to make things look and sound more fantasy-esque. Of course, it just makes it a clusterfuck. Arkiyel Ein, while still shit, would at least be tolerable. The worst part is this isn't the last time I use this name.
Gender
Male

Age
178. This could be equated to about 17-18 in human years.
This is adapted from the "dragon characters are always older, but have equivalent ages to humans" gimmick that I remember seeing on my old stomping ground, and even here with dragons and other fantasy races. While it kinda makes sense, I've grown to hate it. It's kind of silly and overplayed. If you're going to play an old character, give them a personality and knowledge that fits with that, or just give them a normal human age so it's easier on everyone.

Year
4th

Birthday
August 1st. Though, its less of his actual birthday, and more of the day he was passed through the Dyniel 'Yn degrys (ceremony of the sun) as an egg (the ceremony is essentially how light draconians are born, and why they have a sub-tribe)
Okay, I'm just going to complete rewrite the birthday section here:
August 1st.
Yes, all that other stuff was pointless. I should have held world-building for IC when appropriate. I still have this habit of throwing around tidbits of world-building in random places.

Astrological Sign
Leo
I don't know why Astrological signs are on the character sheet. I guess it's just a thing that Cynder liked doing. I'm actually sitting muted in a voice chat with her right now as I write this, but I'm also lazy. I'll edit the answer in if I actually ask.

Species
Light Draconian. Draconians are half human and half dragon. There are 8 types of Draconian, each of these draconian tribes have scales with a color that correspond to a magical element, which they can control. The most common Draconian tribes are Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, and Lightning. On August 1st, the Draconians hold a ceremony as ancient as the Draconians themselves. During this ceremony, Draconian eggs are offered up to become that of pure light. Though, very few actually become light draconian eggs. The Draconians tend to retain their original elemental powers from their tribe.
More pointless worldbuilding. The first half mostly just needs to be updated in style. I could probably talk about the tribal stuff over the ritual thing, if at all. We really don't need a second section talking about how august 1st is really cool for dumb reasons that no one should care about OOC.

Class
Draconic Archer- The draconic archer carries a bow like any normal archer, though, given the fact that Draconians can fly and use elemental magic, the draconic archer is able to do so much more. Draconic archers are able to combine their elemental powers with their arrows and flight, allowing them to strike from afar with deadly power and accuracy. Draconic archers are also proficient in using daggers for hand to hand combat, though few can use their magic for much more than lighting arrows on fire.

He's just an archer. You could've just wrote "archer" here, me. Granted, the logic is that he had training by Draconian masters, so he's specifically a Draconian-trained Archer. It's not that bad, I guess?
Weapon

Syl' Dayhlijn

Syl' Dayhlijn, or The wrath of day, is an enchanted bow made just for use by a draconic archer. The enchantment on the bow prevents it from breaking easily, as well as preventing the string from wearing out or breaking. The bow is masterfully crafted, which adds to the fact that it looks cool.

I hate my naming conventions with this character. Stop making up bad fantasy names and then translating them, idiot! You can bring it up in IC at some point if it ends up mattering, but otherwise just keep the fantasy name. Oh, and stop with the apostrophes and pointless extra letters. Syl Dahlin would be better, or Sil Dahlyn. Yea, I actually like that more.

Just a few daggers

He has a few (2-4) of these hidden on his person at any given time.
This just feels pointless.

World
Lucis

Short Biography
Ark was an orphan. His parents died before he was born, even before the ceremony. He was originally from the fire tribe, but he was born as a light draconian. An old friend of his parents had asked if she could raise him, but, due to the fact that he was a light draconian, and not fire, the church would not let her touch him. (around this time the Draconians are extremely religious) Due to his unlucky early life, he grew up mostly on the streets, as most priests or oracles couldn't stand him. At some point he ended up training with an old Archer, who taught Ark everything he knows. His reason for going to the academy is unknown.

Crawling in my skin, these wounds they will not heal. Welcome to the edge point zone, boys and girls! He's an orphan who's parents died before was born, who wasn't allowed to go to his home tribe, and was kicked out by the church or something, so he does nothing but train with an old master. I'd been watching anime for two years at this point, so I'll blame it on that. Oh, more awful parentheses too. At least I kept his reason for going to the academy secret, unlike all my other character bits. I bet that's because I didn't actually know, and left it for future Vari. I'm going to say that his reason was that he had the old man for lunch, and ran away to avoid being caught.

Personality
Ark is the serious "Get it done, then leave me alone" type of guy, at least, that is how he acts around most people. He doesn't like messing around, and just wants to get things done, and so, he acts pretty grumpy most of the time. I will probably have him mellow out over the course of the RP.
Can you say Edge? Yea, I'm cringing here. This is exactly what I had in mind with the edge scale: he's a brooding loner who's only here to do as much as he has too. The mellow out note is pointless, what are you doing, young Vari? Character development is implied, you idiot.
Partner
N/A as of current

wait this RP had a partnering gimmick? I completely forgot about this. All I can remember is that Ark's first interaction with another character was losing control in flight and falling directly onto a snake girl, and accidentally grabbing her breasts. Yes, this actually happened. Ark later fights Dagny, a Dragon from Earth who can take human form, over the snake girl. Ark gets absolutely fucking wrecked, but all three are punished for the destruction of Academy property and are forced to room together. It was a great set-up from what I recall, but then the player of snake girl, who was the entire motivation for the Ark-Dagny rivalry, went silent.

Fear(s)/Weakness(es)/Limit(s)
Ark has a fear of Ice, and is actually weakened by it. He doesn't like water that much, though, he kinda had to get over that. Ark hates darkness, and never sleeps in the dark because of it. He despises dark magic, evil, and especially vampires. Ark is bad at using fire magic for more than lighting things on fire (AKA, no fireballs). His light magic is limited to adding a blinding effect to his arrows, or changing the light levels in small areas.
I guess I could've phrased these better. I probably should'e separated these into different lines to make it clearer. I guess the darkness stuff is a bit edgy, but it makes a bit of sense based on what I established? The vampire stuff makes less sense. I think I just actually hated vampires, or something?

Strange Attributes/Abilities/Traits
Ark has an ability that allows him to sort of "Zoom in/out" his vision. This ability is a take on clairvoyance, which allows the user to see beyond their line of sight.
I'm not actually entirely sure what this ability does? I think it's supposed to be really good eyesight, so he can see distant objects with better clarity and precision than the average human, but I phrased it more like he could actually change how is eyesight functions.

Themesong
I guess I should end this by looking at all the music I liked when I made this sheet, which is basically the only metric for something being a character theme for me at this time.
Theme 1: I'm on an Ark
What is this doing here? I actually don't know. You immature brat, don't use joke songs as themes for serious characters.
Theme 2: Wheelzes
I loved this video, that's why this is here. It makes no sense as an Ark theme.
Theme tree: Ark's seen better dayz, brohs
quirky joke replacing 3 with tree. Cringe acquired from that and the use of "dayz" and "brohs." This song is fine, but it also makes no sense as an Ark theme. He's supposed to be a serious, brooding character, but he's got this quirky song that most people associate with a sitcom I never watched. I don't think I've listened to this since creating Ark.
Other
Currently N/A

Finally, it's over. Here's the score for everyone who cares:
RC:0
MC:0
CC:3
NERD:7/10
While this deserved a high NERD score, I've decided to leave room for future entries to outdo it, because oh boy, I know they will.

Original Character Sheet

The Collected Garbage of VarionusNW

The Collected Garbage of VarionusNW

_{A Repository of Self-Roasting}

The following thread will serve a dual purpose, in one part holding all of the old character sheets of mine from previous RPs I've done over the years, and also allowing me to critique and judge my old work. In essence, it will give me access to my old garbage, and allow everyone else to laugh at all of my old failures.

For this purpose, we will first want to set some boundaries:
1. I will not be including characters that were not accepted,though I will include characters that were accepted that I never posted with. This rule basically only cuts out 1 character that I don't want to remember, so feel free to look for it. I can't really delete it.
2. I must make some sort of criticism on each sheet, and point out how it fails in comparison to another.
3. I must also compliment the sheet in some way, which should actually add some challenge to this for me.
4. If relevant, I can discuss IC and OOC posts, but the bulk of the critique must be about the structure of the sheet itself, and not my overall writing.
5. If friends and others have commentary that I find relevant, I will add an extra section to the post with their credited critique.
6. All posts will be linked in addition to being reproduced in full, so that people may dig into my past further if they wish.
7. I will attempt to work in chronological order, starting from my oldest post I could find and working forward. If I find a post that I missed, I will simply tack it onto the end as an addendum.

---

And now for the fun stuff

The Rite/Ryte Counter and the Maxwell Counter: These are the most common last and first name I use, so we're going to count them and see how bad it is.

The Cringe Counter:Every time I experience the physical sensation known as cringing, where I actually wince at the awfulness of my own creation, I'll log it here. I expect this number to reach unreasonable levels.

The New Edge Rating Dynamic: This will be a scale from 1 to 10 which will subjectively rank how "edgy" I think a given character is. I am vaguely defining edge as a character with a try-hard grimness, undeserved tragic element, or brooding personality for the sake of seeming cool or interesting. This score will likely increase with an increase in Cringe.

The Full List

In here will be a list of every character sheet in this thread. Obviously, it's currently empty. The first character review will be up in a bit.

Celestial Bonds

we just had ANOTHER person drop, so yes, yes we do.

Celestial Bonds

There's a problem with the fact that we're currently out of mage slots. I'll try and see if I can get one of the two unpaired mages to switch, otherwise partnering might not be an option.

Celestial Bonds

Due to some more players dropping, there are currently two available slots if anyone is interested in joining this RP. I'd like to be able to start the IC within the next two weeks if I can get all of the character sheets sent to me in time.

Introduction

It is the year 1327, 32nd year of the reign of Vanel Adondum Galias VII, 16th Emperor of Grenheim.

Grenheim, a grand empire stretching across almost half the continent of Salfare, teeters on the edge of war. To the northeast lie the Barbaric Skauls, who assault Grenheim's shores with abandon, and terrorize any trading vessels in the Adelanian sea; to the East, the kingdom of Lyngald attempts to encite its allies into war against Grenheim, to reclaim land that has belonged to the Empire for over a hundred years; and to the southwest, the Halidar republic is slowly becoming more expansionist, taking over the smaller nations that lie between it and Grenheim's southern border. There is no edge of the Empire free from threat.

This constant tension has seemed to stoke the fires of innovation, leading Grenheim into a sudden industrial revolution. The people have yearned to move beyond the bounds of magic, which is cumbersome and takes dedicating most of your life to learning just the basics. The invention of the gun, mass production, and various gadgets and tools have made life very different from what it had been only a decade ago. In addition, many parts of Grenheim have seen several social reforms, broadened citizenship, and a growing middle class, upsetting the previous status quo of nobles and the peasants beneath them.

In this age of social and technological evolution, though; the most significant discovery may be one of a magical nature. Two years ago, mages working under the emperor, studying the Adondum, the holy text of the Empire's official religion, discovered a ritual that could convert the emotional bond between two individuals into power. Specifically, the ritual gave one member of the pair immediate magical potential and basic knowledge of their abilities. The other member gained the ability to summon a magical artifact, referred to as a Gear. The bonded pair would also gain a sort of enhanced awareness of each other, knowing the other's general location, being able to sense their emotions, as well as some telepathic communication.

Due to the problems at Grenheim's borders, those who underwent the Empowerment Ritual were immediately conscripted, though only a small percentage of the bonds seemed to have abilities that could be directly applied to a military context, despite attempts to find as many useful bonds as possible across the entire empire.

Within the last few months, further research into the Empowered Bonds, and the many passages of the Adondum that may reference them, led to a second discovery. The mages and priests who had slaved over the project had been able to pinpoint nine specific locations on a map, allegedly the locations of pairs that had been chosen by the Gods, destined for a greater purpose that could save or doom the Empire.

Immediately, these pairs were tracked down and brought to the estate of an old general by the name of Dalgen Carridan, who the Church and the Emperor's Mages could trust to train the newly bonded pairs in relative secrecy in a short period of time, as well as house them for the duration.

Once the pairs were all gathered, they were put through the Ritual. Unlike any pairs before them, the Ritual seemed to burn a mark of some sort into the flesh of the bonded individuals, with each pair's brand differing in shape and location. To the men conducting the Ritual, this was proof that they were correct, and that these fateful few were blessed by the gods themselves.

Setting Information

Celestial and Empowered Bonds

Two individuals with a deep emotional connection who undergo the Empowerment Ritual gain an Empowered Bond, or a Celestial Bond. The only real difference the two is that a Celestial bond gives stronger powers with a greater potential for growth, and includes a brand somewhere on the bodies of the members of the bond. The following powers are gained through a bond:

• The ability to sense the emotions being felt by one's partner. This ability cannot sense the reasons for a feeling, just that a certain vague emotion is being felt.
• The ability to know the general location of one's bonded partner.
• Telepathy, or the ability to communicate through thought.
• One member of the bond becomes the Mage of the Bond, and gains the Celestial Potential, which immediately gives them an affinity with a specific brand of magic. Most individuals have the potential to harness magical energy regarding a specific topic that is representative of, or important to them as a person, also known as the Focus. Learning the Focus to one's magic often takes Mages half their lives, and learning to harness and manipulate it takes the other, meaning the only mildly skilled Magi are withering old men. With the Celestial Potential, a bonded Mage immediately knows their Focus, and a basic understanding of how to harness it.
• The other member of the bond becomes the Knight of the Bond, and gains a Celestial Gear, a magical artifact that can be summoned and dismissed at will. Similar to magic, a Gear grants an ability to its wielder that has some connection to their life, personality, or position in the bond, though only a singular power as opposed to the Mage's repertoire of spells.

Religions of Note Within the Empire

The Eternities - Less of a religion in and of itself, and more of a value system that centers on success through belief, and supporting perseverance through repetition of the nine Eternities, which are simply long narrative poems. This was a major religion before the Empire originally formed, and is still quite common in the east, though it only has a handful of followers in modern Grenheim, and those that do follow it do so in tandem with another religion.

The Grennish Pantheons - The standard religions of Grenheim have always been those that worship a pantheon of what were once the various deities of the smaller cultures that were subsumed into the Empire. The central gods of this pantheon have been static since the birth of the Empire, and were the original gods of the country from which Grenheim formed.

The Original Pantheon

Aurdin - God of Fate, Order, and the Sun.

Vyra - Goddess of Love, Emotions, and Machinations.

Haermund - God of Knowledge, Cunning, and the Unknown.

Gelsa - Goddess of Nature, Beasts, and Instinct.

Lamure - God of Performance, Artistry, and Creativity.

Morrowyr - Goddess of Death, Mourning, and the Afterlife.

Gardwyn - Goddess of Honor, and Glory, and the Hunt.

Starmgein - God of the Sea, Storms, and Weather.

Harbingald - God of Fire, War, and Vengeance.

A second pantheon eventually came into popularity due to various myths and legends telling the tale of a new pantheon that was born into Primordium, the realm of the gods, and cast out the old gods with little effort. These Usurper gods were more commonly worshiped after Adondeism became popular, but their worship occurred even before the creation of the Church of Adondeus. Both pantheons are still worshiped, though never simultaneously. The Usurpers are much more commonly worshiped, due in large part to their importance in the Adondum.

The Usurper Pantheon

Aurmyr -God of Truth and Power. Bringer of Day.

Mordyn - God of Fate and Endings. Bringer of Night.

Garnmier - Goddes of the Sea and Winds. Bringer of Change.

Falk - God of Nature and Beasts. Bringer of Life.

Oremnyr - God of Ideas and the Unknown. Bringer of Enlightenment.

Galenmoor - God of Judgement and Order. Bringer of Justice.

Hadra - Goddess of Love and Creativity. Bringer of Inspiration.

Lemnys - Goddess of Trickery and Schemes. Bringer of Vengeance.

Myrengald - Goddess of Consumption and Destruction. Bringer of War.

Adondeism - Adondeus Grenwel, the 2nd Emperor of Grenheim, was murdered on his throne by his council of advisers. When the scene was discovered, only Adondeus' corpse was found, along with seven tomes written in blood. The various volumes described everything from the various pre-existing myths and legends that had been past down for generations prior, to new prophecies about the end of the world and a war between the gods. Due to various reasons, the books were kept secret by the next several Emperors, until the 6th finally gave in to the demands of his Council of Mages and Scholars, and allowed the Adondum, as it was called, to be studied in depth. Eventually, the Church of Adondeus was formed, worshiping the 2nd Emperor as a prophet, and the Usurper gods as the true lords of Primordium. According to the church, absolute faith is required to save your soul in the end times, and assure you a place in Primordium among the Gods. Adondeism is the official religion of the Empire, and due to this, the Church has major influence over the Emperor, and most regions of the Empire, so while pagan faiths are not explicitly outlawed, those who worship them are guaranteed to face prejudice.

Rules

• This is a pair RP, meaning that you are recommended to partner up with another player and create your characters together, with a shared backstory and Celestial Bond. Making an entire pair on your own will only be allowed if we are unable to reach a full cast of 18 unique players.
• As implied above, there will be a hard one character limit unless we don't have enough players.
• Only join this RP if you are sure you are willing to commit to this RP long-term, and have the time to do so. Quitting the RP harms your partner, not just you, so consider carefully before you commit.
• There will be an expected minimum of roughly one post per week. There will not be a timer or anything, but if multiple GM update posts have gone up without your character having interacted during the previous period, expect a warning, or a kick if you've done it enough times. If extenuating circumstances prevent you from posting, simply inform a GM.
• Make an attempt to read all posts. Whilst skimming is fine, this only harms your ability to interact with other characters.
• Those who express interest will be PMed a link to the RP's official discord. As this is a Pair RP, communication is important, and as such, joining the discord will be mandatory, as it's an easier mode of communication than the OOC.
• Metagaming and Godmodding will not be tolerated. Autohitting/Autokilling is off-limits unless cleared through a GM.
• Romance is fine, just keep the smut to PMs. Fade to black, and all that.
• Please color code your character's dialogue in order to easily differentiate them from everyone else.
• And of course, follow all RPG rules.

Personal Information
Full Name:
Gender:
Age: I suggest staying between the mid-teens and the late twenties.
Appearance: An image or description is fine, though a combination of the two is recommended.
Height:
Weight:

Background Information
History: Tell me a bit about your character's past. You don't have to tell me everything.
Brief Personality: I don't want to know everything about your character, save it for IC, but at least give me something.
Emotional Bond: Describe the bond between your character and their partner.
Partner: Who is your character bonded with?

Celestial Gear Information
(Knight only)
make sure to submit both your gear, and your partner's magic to the GMs over PM, or at least the rough ideas you have for them, before you make your CS. If you were to build your character around it and then have that one element rejected, that would probably not be great.
Name: Your weapon's name, it's that simple.
Type: Is it a sword, a dagger, a musket? I'd like to keep types different from player to player, to avoid having a bunch of people with swords
Appearance: What does the weapon look like? a picture or description is fine.
Function: The weapon's primary ability. This shouldn't be too powerful, as it will be upgraded in the future. Do attempt to have it synergize with your corresponding mage.

Celestial Potential Information
(Mages only)
make sure to submit both your magic, and your partner's gear to the GMs over PM, or at least the rough ideas you have for them, before you make your CS. If you were to build your character around it and then have that one element rejected, that would probably not be great.
Focus concept: The idea that encompasses your character's magic.
Spells: You will start with three spells, of a reasonably low to middling power, and will gain more powerful ones over time. Each spell should correspond to your focus in some way. Keep your corresponding knight in mind for synergy.
Name: What you call this spell (honestly, this is optional, but spell names are cool)
Function: The effect of the spell. Please include all costs incurred from the spell's use.
