Knighthood
New Battles, Old Lands
Edit: Ive already had people start asking if we're still taking players. As far as I'm concerned the more the merrier. Dont be scared off if this thread is kind of old when you find it. Please come check us out. Chances are, unless the whole guild descends on me in mass, there will be room or I will do my best to make some
You can’t halt progress in the end. No matter how set in your ways you are. If you don’t change with the world around you, you will find yourself obsolete. So we change, we adapt, and we grow stronger for it.
This is my call to those who would hear it. Angel’s Landing needs you. A new enemy stalks the streets of Angel’s Landing and we are the ones who can defend it. To those of you who have the will and the strength to do it. The Tower of Stars is looking for new recruits. The ranks of The Knights of Stars have grown thin and our enemies have grown stronger.
Heed the call those of you who would join me.

Setting
Knighthood takes place in the city of Angel’s Landing. Millennium of war and peace have ground the city of Angel’s Landing to dust time and time again only to have the city to be rebuilt upon the old cities bones. Now it is home to towers that rise from the slum streets where the higher you go the richer it gets...and the deeper into the skeleton of catacombs beneath the streets you go the poorer and more dangerous it gets.
The setting is Fantasy turns sci-fi as Galendar started out as a fantasy setting. This can be seen in the way that the line between technology and magic is not always clear. It can also be scene in the large variation in lifespan and the appearance of races that are traditionally seen in fantasy settings making use of your 60th century top of the line tech in conjunction with their 5000th year old magic.
Characters
As a result of the setting characters should be a mesh of fantasy character concepts with a sci-fi spin. Or a Sci-fi concept with a fantasy slant. Ex: Knight who uses nanobot strengthened armor, a shield of kinetic force and a sword capable of changing form to a variety of other weapons. Or. A ship mechanic with a penchant for magic items used for repair on his high tech vehicles. Please feel free to come at this from either angle but you should try to balance your character between having a sense of fantasy and an edge of the cyber. Treasure planet, Shadowrun, and The Asgard from Marvel's new Thor movies are good places to draw inspiration.
Characters will be new recruits or possibly veteran members of the Tower of Stars guild. Characters should possess some sort of tech, magic or combat expertise. They Tower of Stars takes a variety of individuals everything from ex soldiers, to hackers, to mages. The guild is not a military organization but one of its primary functions is combat.
The Tower of Stars provides a variety of services for its contractors, some of the jobs are less than savory and it is rumored occasionally have included assassination. All of the jobs taken are approved by The Master of Stars and The Avatar of Storms himself, Christian Highfell. Christian allows many of the members of the Tower of Stars to take their own jobs usually with a cursory approval.
Characters should have a strong backstory and ideas for their own jobs as well as a means for fitting into the overall plot line of The Tower of Stars battle for survival in Angel’s Landing against The Stygian Blade guild.
If you are interested I have the OOC up as we speak. I do have a few characters and players that should have their stuff up in the next couple of days but no worries I have a longer timeline in mind for this so please. Drop in and check it out.
