[OOC] Seekers of the First Flame

[Stella]

I'll be posting my character sheet later today hopefully.

[Nobodyman123]

Prince Alaric

Name – Prince Alaric
Age – 24
Gender – Male
Sexuality – Straight

Land of Origin – Balder
Covenant – Way of White
Personality – Alric, though young, is a knight of some skill and experience. Brave in battle, he is skeptical and somewhat shy when talking to others, especially since coming to Lordran. He knows he cannot complete his fathers quest alone, however, and is willing to accept help despite of his suspicious nature.

Arsenal – Claymore, Balder Shield, Talisman,a higher quality version of the Balder Set (complete with pants!)
Magical Traits – Alaric dabbles in divine magic, and knows the miracles Heal and Emit Force.

Balder was the Home of the Knight King Rendal, but the kingdom was reduced to ruins after a widespread outbreak of Undead.

-Balder Shield description

One of King Rendal's sons, Alaric is a knight of Balder who came to Anor Londo along side his father and a company of his greatest knights. After the ravaging of Balder by the Curse of the Undead, they came to seek a cure. Of the nearly fifty knights that left to fight along side their king, only Alaric remains unhollowed. The chances of him leaving Anor Londo are growing slim, and so is his chances of completing the quest. Still, Alaric has sworn an oath to never give up, and it is only this personal conviction that has kept him from going mad.

[Cello]

Very nice. Alaric is accepted.

Done with my CS! I kept a few things purposely short like her bio so it can be revealed through the story more. It makes sense as she slowly recovers instead of loses her memory in a Jason Borne sort of way(perhaps, secretly revealing her darker, more painful pass, turning into a curse in of itself!). Anyway, here it is:

Cal

- Name –
Cal... Something?

- Age –
22

- Gender –
Female

- Sexuality –
"Straight as an Arrow"

- Land of Origin –
Catarina

- Covenant –
Path of the Dragon

- Personality –
A friendly, open, and straightforward individual is what one could consider Cal to be. Once someone starts to get to know her, they will discover a deep, clever thinker who is somewhat saddened by her current state. She has lost a large amount of her memory, from the people she knew, to even her full name. Thus, while she will try to smile, try to see the positive light, she'll always hold back, not willing to invest any real emotion into anything.

- Arsenal –
A Wanderer Set with a Thief Mask helm instead of the normal hood
Astoraian Straight Sword
Heater Shield
- Magical Traits –
Knows and commonly uses Firestorm and Fire Surge... loves to watch things burn!

- Biography –
"The curse? My life before? Erm.. well... I don't know... but I have this... this feeling that if I bothered to dig for it... I probably wouldn't like what I would find..."

Cal remembers little to nothing of her past life. The furthest back she can remember going was waking up in this dark land with the mark. There was a faint voice, a voice echoing the prophecy, her chance of retaining her humanity. Since then she's marched endlessly forward, determined to cure herself and maybe even others as well. Even if she can only remember part of her first name...

[Cello]

Awesome, Skeptic. It's going to be fun watching Cal's history unfold throughout the roleplay. Accepted.

If your character is accepted just chuck em over to the character thread.

[Skepic]

Cool beans. Posted in the CS section.

[Stella]

Below is my character sheet skeleton with the barest of details. I will flesh out the sheet further tomorrow as soon as I finalize all parts of my character. I spent much of my free time today going through several revisions of this character, so I couldn't get the final sheet done as quickly as I would have liked.

Also, praise the Sun. \o/

Saira of the East

Name
Saira of the East

Age
24

Gender
Female

Sexuality
Straight

Land of Origin
The Eastern Lands

Covenant
Warriors of Sunlight

Personality
Saira is a calm and aloof lost soul, seemingly disconnected from the events that unfold around herself. None of few individuals that have encountered Saira during her continuing journey can claim that they can understand her thoughts or motivations. She appears to only desire to aimlessly wander forward, guided by the brilliance of the Sun's light, to whatever fate she is destined for. Having no memories of her past before being afflicted with the curse of the undead, Saira does not fear the eventual loss of what remains of her humanity. Instead, she accepts this an ultimately inevitable fate that she must someday encounter. However, rather than lose her humanity to despair and accept fate as a Hollow like many other Undead, Saira chooses to follow the only thing left in the world that continues to live forever, with eternal incandescence: the Sun, hoping to find some residual purpose in her life before her eventual end.

Arsenal
Saira owns no items of worth, power, or value, other than than her Katana. She does not remember why she carries the Katana, only that it was her only companion during her journey. Her only other possessions include her tattered clothes and pieces of leather armor pillaged from various Hollows.

Magical Traits
Saira has no innate magical potential or ability, and owns no items with any magical properties. However, with her strong faith and reverence for the Sun, she is able to cast the Great Lightning Spear miracle during times of need.

Biography
Little is known about Saira's past, even to herself. Her earliest remaining memory is endlessly following the guiding light of the sun, wandering towards the light that could never be caught, for a reason unknown to herself. It was during this seemingly unending journey that she eventually forgot the reason for her travelling, aimlessly wandering the lands. Without sense of purpose and reason to persevere, Saira's spirit began to weaken and despair as her soul rapidly declined towards a hollowing state.

Before the last echoes of hope and humanity left her weakened soul, Saira found herself standing within the ruins of a broken-down temple, with the Altar of Sunlight standing tall before her. However, Saira was not alone within the temple. There, at the base of the Altar, lay a dying and broken soul, mere steps from fully Hollowing from despair. Upon realizing it was the final remaining scraps of Humanity left within this nameless traveler's soul that drew her towards the temple, it was then Saira realized that she had become much more Hollow than Human.

To her surprise, Saira was met with unexpected joy and gratitude from the dying traveler, who confessed his realization that in his blind reverence for the Sun, he had mindlessly followed the Sun with every step of his travels. Each day, he would follow the Sun from east to west as it rose into the sky, only to travel back towards the east, as it rose again the very next day. All this in the hopes of eventually hold the radiance of the Sun in his own hands. In his last moments as a human, the traveler spoke these words to Saira:

"The Sun, as beautiful and radiant as it is, is something that can never be caught, never held, never cherished. Therefore, it is complete foolishness to even try. To do so is futile, and will only lead to anguish and despair. Perhaps... the Sun is something that is not to be caught, but something that guides. But.. to where? However, such words are meaningless, for I have already reached the end of my journey. But you... you have the strength to continue onwards. I recognize that gleam in your eyes, the same look that I once had. While I am still human, I beg you to use that sword in your grasp to end my life as a human, for I do not wish to see myself turn hollow. In return, I offer you the remains of my humanity. Take it, and follow the guiding light of the shining Sun. Praise... the Sun."

Honoring the traveler's last words and wishes, Saira took what remained of the traveler's humanity for herself, and set her sights towards the west, were the Sun journeyed to with each passing day.

Miscellaneous
Saira's name is pronounced "Sigh-ee-ra"

[IndianGiver]

Oh dear, I think I'll head off for now. I spent the better part of an hour writing a nice intro post where Mardrin meets Priscilla, and I just lost it because of a ctrl + c/v goof. Much disappoint.

[Skepic]

Also, praise the Sun. \o/

@Stella

Saira be like:

[Cello]

Tomorrow I'll write the introduction post for the IC, seeing as we have about 5 characters readily on the way.

[Nobodyman123]

Might change out Alarics long sword for something heavier. Any objections?

[Light]

Do you want us to post the character here first? And then to the Character tab after it's been accepted?

[Skepic]

That's the deal so far.

[Cello]

once the last few characters are completed I will work on the IC :D

[Nobodyman123]

There, I gave Alaric a Claymore and a Talisman so he can actually cast the miracles that he's supposed to know.

[Stella]

Saira's character sheet is done, since I wrote it after midnight it may need some touching up later: http://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/2688685

I left out the Talisman since I personally see it more as a gameplay mechanic than an absolute necessity.

[Cello]

Very nice character Stella. Feel free to add Saira to the character thread.

So far I'm liking our little mixed bag of characters. We have a nice varying degree of hollowing souls, and we have characters from many different lands. With Stella and my own character, that makes five. I will wait until Light finishes his sheet and then we can begin.

[Stella]

Awesomeness, looking forward to the start of this RP.

[Skepic]

yesh.

It shall be glorious

Firestorm the shiat out everything, beat the main quest, leave all y'all behind. XD

[Cello]

Speedrun through the rp, see who can beat the world record.
