[h1] Intro[/h1] (note this rp is based off of the gba game of Summonnight. No knowledge of the game is needed to rp this successfully) The island of Priam is a crescent shaped slab of rock off the coast of Senefer, a vast continent of forest, desert, and tundric terrain. Your character has come to (or has always) lived here, in the village of Degar. Where many flock from all over to learn the craft of weapon forging and to strengthen their skills. The profession of beast taming is to not only forge weapons but use them to protect the defenseless from the wild summon beasts surrounding sanctuaries (cities and places under protection) alongside their Guardian Beast. The monsters surrounding the cities have begun to show signs of being tainted- their violence increases by the day. It has been rumored that their behavior is linked to a cult that lives in the wild- placing the beasts under a spell to enrage them so they can push their own agenda. The force up against this cult is the Order of beast tamers known across Senefer as the Guild. They are the elite- the strongest in all of the land. They are legends in their own right. The capital is their home. All young apprentice tamers revere their names; Andras of Storms along with his Griffin beast is the Knight of Thunder, Talitha of the Abyss and her oni guardian claim Knight of Fire, Brogan the Bad along with his sharktoothed tiger beast is the Knight of Wind, Gyuri is the Knight of water alongside his serpent beast. And so the goal of all beast tamers is to train and join the forces that the Order leads- to defend Senefer from all evil. [h3]Premise/expectations[/h3] A simple rp where the characters have their own creature and have the ability to tame other monsters. The players will be part of a notorious guild, but will start off in one of the smaller, lesser known branches. Originally tasked with creature population control and keeping them off of farmland, the guild has increasingly encountered the same problem. Tainted monsters have begun appearing, spreading disease that has begun to kill the landscape. The source of the diseased creatures must be found and stopped, to restore balance to the land. **Roles have to be filled for this roleplay. Meaning your starting creature will be given to you by me based on the role you choose below. The RP starts after I assign you your creature. You can either have your character be a newly joined Guild member or a current member. This role-play will consist of the characters traveling as a group all over the island, killing tainted monsters, finding treasures, learning about the world around them, crafting weapons, completing quests and, simply put, becoming legends. [b]Beast Tamers[/b] Tamers are born, not made. At a certain age (the average is between 18 and 23, but beasts have appeared as late as into someones 30s) their Guardian Beast will be summoned. These intelligent creatures are bound to their tamer for life. Since there are so few tamers on the island and so many monsters, it is required by law that all gifted join the Guild. Life in the Guild, until recently, is straightforward; protect people from monsters and protect monsters from people. Keep the balance and all will be well. [h3]Roles[/h3] [b]TAKEN[/b][i]The Cavalier[/i] (a fighting class. The Cavalier will have a mount/beast they can ride)[b]by Heyitsjiwon[/b] [b]TAKEN[/b][i]The Theurgist[/i] (a magic class. The Theurgist’s beast will lend their power to their tamer in battle) for [b]Legion02[/b] [i]The Sentinel[/i] (a fighting class, focus: defense. The Sentinel’s beast will be a shield to their tamer in battle) [i]The Illusionist[/i] (a magic class, focus: defense. The Illusionist has no attack output, so they and their beast aim to distract and defend rather than attack) [i]The Rogue[/i] (a stealth class. The Rogue’s beast aids them in keeping out of sight) [b]TAKEN[/b] [i]The Cleric[/i] (the healer. Their beast will have some healing ability.) [b] for iHxzardx[/b] [i]The Ranger[/i] (like the rogue but less focused on stealth and more on speed. Their beast, like them, will be a wild card) [hider=CS] Appearance: no anime. Drawn is fine however. Name/Age(18+)/Gender: Role: Armor: (google some armor concept art or just describe it) Weapon: (your creature will have a weapon for you. so list a weak secondary weapon. Like a dagger. Or a wooden spoon idk) Guild status: (Newly Joined member or Current member? Also quickly list what you feel like your character does the most for the Guild. Ex: Night shifts patrolling the farmlands. Or herding peaceful creatures away from heavily populated areas. Or hunting dangerous creatures etc) Stats! (you have only an extra 10 points to distribute) Health: 10 Strength:10 (Determines how strong your character is) Charisma: 10 (determines how well your character can barter and deal with the world socially, also influences how NPCs view your character a bit) Intelligence: 10 (determines your characters wit) Agility: 10 (how quick and nimble your character is) Personality: (I’ll be really studying what you put here to determine what creature I give your character. But this doesn’t mean I’ll be giving your character a Demon type because they’re loud and “fiery” or whatever, so don’t drop any hints like that either lol. Bio: (Does your character come from the mainland? Or have they lived on the island all their lives? How many siblings does your character have? What would your character have been had their beast not been summoned?**after you know what your beast is: how did their family react to their Guardian being summoned? etc) Guardian Beast (just copy and paste the little profiles I send you, you can change their names, personalities etc but keep their abilities, traits, and appearances the same) [/hider] [hider=My CS] [hider=Roque's face] [img]http://media.tumblr.com/b4cf3a2753898744630732aedeb25815/tumblr_inline_mqil32eVSs1qz4rgp.jpg[/img] [h3]Roque Turilo/25/m[/h3] [/hider] Occupation: a knight commissioned by the Guild to be stationed in Degar to teach apprentices. Weapon specialty: [hider=Axe] [img]https://dailymedit.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/wwwpalgraphicsareacom.jpg?w=768[/img] [/hider] Summon Beast: [hider=Carthanach] [img]http://www.justinalbers.com/images/hyena.jpg[/img] A behemoth battle hyena. He's 9 feet at the shoulder. His skull is the size of a hay cart. Weighing in at 550 lbs of muscle. The lumbering beasts mouth smells like a morgue. His growls sound like demons being butchered with a blunt sword. His horrendous appearance speaks nothing for his attitude, however- he acts like an over sized puppy when with Roque. [/hider] [b]Personality[/b]: rough and rugged describe Roque well. When given a task he must see it through. He pushes his students hard because he believes struggle is the most efficient way to become stronger. He's patient and has a keen sense of control over his emotions. Its difficult for him, however, to concede defeat or error. Roque loves glory and power- and at times he may seem bloodthirsty and ambitious. [b]Bio[/b]: He graduated from the Militial Academy of the capital a year ago- a division that some craftknights take when they plan on reaching the ranks that work alongside the Order and the Elemental Knights. However he was chosen to return to Degar and teach. It disappointed him that he would not be needed in the battles up north- but he had no say in the decision. [/hider] [h3]Rules and Requirements[/h3] 1. Follow Guild rules 1.5 at least 2 paragraphs per post. 2. Don't machine gun the IC. Meaning don't just rp with one other person for pages and pages without waiting for others to post. Be patient. 3 If you plan on leaving post in OOC how long you will be gone (or pm me) so i don't kill off your character for being inactive for so long. 4. I don't tolerate OOC fights. I'll kill your character and kick you out of the roleplay if you're being an asshole. 5. Anything over PG13 must be taken to PM. 6. by doing this rp you accept the fact that your character may die, be disfigured, be tainted, or any other type of malady I come up with for the sake of an interesting rp. 7. Same goes for your Guardian beasts.
