[iHxzardx]

@Nevix sounds good i need someone to watch the page tuesday and wednesday so that people dont leave just because they dont get a reply for two days.... Im headed to bed for tonight soon though

[MatthiasAngel]

@MatthiasAngel@Framing A Moose Will either of you be able to keep an eye on this OOC Thread as much as possible this Tuesday and Wednesday?

@iHxzardx

Yes.

[iHxzardx]

@MatthiasAngel Okay thank you. get them oriented and situated until i come back... if you have any questions about the RP ask me so that you can relay the info to any new recruits

[iHxzardx]

@MatthiasAngel can you repost your CS so that i can confirm it?

[MatthiasAngel]

@iHxzardx Two things,
1. I still want the sword to speak loud enough for people to hear, or at least people I'm directly interacting with. It throws an interesting dynamic in, because the Warbear counters Matt's cockiness and courage by being pessimistic and discouraging (at times), and it would be fun to have it interrupt or discredit him when talking to someone.
2, the "Magic Satchel" is not actually magic. It's basically saying it's a satchel that can hold all of my inventory/stuff without getting bigger, and just about anything can fit in it. Google it for a better description.

Basically, it's just a brown leather satchel that he carries all his stuff in. The "magic" is that it holds more than an actual satchel would, like in a video game.

[iHxzardx]

@MatthiasAngel your sword can speak loud enough for any in the vicinity to hear absolutely and alright if you really want that satchel go ahead XD

Name: Matt

Age: 23

Appearance:

Matt

-Note- Ignore the zipper and katana in the second sketch. Use the coat and sword from the first, and the gloves and boots from the second.

Class(desc. if needed): Swordsman/Knight

Personality: Matt is confident and at times cocky. He is never rude, always shows respect to elders, and wipes his boots at the door before going inside. He wants desperately to be as strong, if not stronger, than his uncle, even if it means risking life and limb, though he does know when to draw the line. If you need a friend, ally or "tank," Matt is up for it.

Bio: Nothing of note. His mother and father are both farmers of reasonable standing, and both are still alive. His uncle was a well-known knight in the army with a long record of victories. He trained Matt as a swordsman to prepare him in case he were drafted. His parents didn't really approve of Matt going to war, but they were honest folk and weren't going to help him get out of it if he were picked. Sure enough, he was. Now retired, his uncle passed on his sword: the Warbear. A blade with a mind of its own, Matt has yet to tame it fully. As of now, he can only access a fraction of its power, but since receiving it six months ago he has been training hard to wield it like a man.

Weapons/Catalysts: Warbear. A giant one-edged sword with a diamond blade and rubber-grip handle, containing a powerful 'swordspirit.' It can give him advice and increase the power of the weapon, but it's rather bitter about being retired and passed on to someone else, having served with Matt's uncle for so long. The sword can make itself heavier or lighter than it actually is. It is also able to move on its own, duplicate itself, glow like the sun, and even take a humanoid form to fight alongside its wielder, though Matt has never seen any of it happen himself. The swordspirit can speak, and it has an extensive knowledge of the land and history of the world, though it rarely shares its knowledge.

-Note- The only thing Warbear actually does is speak and make itself weigh more or less. All other abilities are only legends. The swordspirit's text will be brown and his voice will sound a bit like Liam Neeson.

Anything Noteworthy: Matt can throw a knife with relative accuracy, sense danger before he sees it (a "sixth sense" of sorts), and knows how to treat injuries in battle. He can also do a few card tricks, and he has a deck in his pocket to mess with if he gets bored. Everything he owns and needs is kept in a large, brown leather satchel he carries on his back.

[iHxzardx]

@MatthiasAngel Accepted. Go ahead and post it.

@iHxzardx

Don't let this fall yet.

Sometimes I think success in anything starts with the idea. I like this idea, and I'm sure you do too, after all you know more about it than me I'm sure.

The more that is put into the idea or I could say the more passion that is put into anything the better any thing at all will become.

Let's do this.

Edit: @iHxzardx

Jin unleashed on the Land.

The Jin are reptilian. Their looks vary widely. From snake people that can look similar to Naga to Lizard men (women too obviously) like Lizalfos from The legend of zelda series.

How were the Jin created? Crossbreeding.

How did this Crossbreeding happen? Basically someone with significant authority and a group of tough guys forced lizards or snakes and hostage grandcastrians persons "to get together" to create a new race: The Jin.

Who decided to Crossbreed? "The Now Emperor or Empress of the Jin", basically The Jin Creator. BUT... Guess what, this Emperor or Empress actually was originally a significantly important Grandcastrian person but they were exiled for a vile crime.

The crossbreeding came about as sort of revenge by The Emperor or Emperess for the "Injustice that befell them inside GrandeCastrum" So The Emperor or Empress of the Jin created the Jin to get back at GrandeCastrum and take over the place.

What do the Jin believe in?: Brute force, Gold, enjoying being out in sun light, hunting, trading things or bargaining.

What are the Jin good at? Weapon combat (sword with shield, axe, dagger...), making poisons, crafting pots, attacking and generally being aggressive, creating jewellry, climbing, staying still as a statue making for excellent spies, bargaining.

What do the Jin hate? A lot of them do hate GrandCastrum and will dispose of trespassers in their lands. They hate winter and cold weather. They also hate insults to their looks.

Appearance: She has small purple hair along with green eyes also with a height of 5'4, Wearing only light armor she has a nice figure clearly a product of her training, Never wearing a helmet

Squires Appearance: She has long black hair with purple eyes also with a height of only 4'9, Wearing only light armor as well but wears a helmet

Class: Knight

Personality: Always a troublemaker she always getting into trouble be it a fight or some feud, But always wearing a big smile and always cheerful whatever happens to her and always living life with no care and enjoying what it has to offer, But above all she cherish Freya and will protect her at all times.

Squire Personality: Contrast to Athena's carefree attitude Freya is Always Serious and hardworking solving the problems and damages that Athena causes, But she acknowledges and respect Athena's prowess when it comes to battle determined to pass her in terms of skills and technique she trains everyday like Athena she cares about her sister the most and will do anything for her.

Bio: Athena and Freya where both raised in a orphanage in the town both taking care of each other and where inseparable since childhood but it was mostly Freya that did all the taking care of and Athena fighting the bullies or getting in trouble, They grew up like sisters and cared for one another despise not being related by blood, When Athena got old enough and the orphanage wasn't able to support them anymore Athena joined the army in order to quickly earn money for them both leaving Freya behind in the process but after a fighting for so long She obtain the rank of knight and was able to get Freya as a squire now reunited again.

Weapons/Catalysts:

War golok A simple blade with no edge since it was the cheapest sword around but it is a multipurpose tool and quite deadly when used effectively.

She uses a long bow for hunting and hitting the enemy in a distance but she isn't used to it or trained in using it likely to miss than hit anything.

She wears a Blue talisman with tribal pattern and strange designs decorating it but It well she gives a small prayer it boosts up her defenses and also making her dodge enemy attacks by chance or by luck.

Squire personal Weapons:
She uses a short sword but isn't at good as using it but she she also uses a short bow which she can use more efficiently

Anything Noteworthy:Well if she attacks she do it in the front not in the back often making herself the bait if needed.

Bumping this for the G.M. and anyone else who wants to read the thread. :)

[iHxzardx]

@Wildman13 Love'em. Go ahead and post

[iHxzardx]

@Gareth I like where its headed but i would rather the Jin just be human. I dont like the multi species and complexity. I just want man to hunt man for the base of survival. Land. We can become diplomats and split the land or we can just eliminate the Jin and take it all for ourselves.... see this RP will come together. we just have to get started. anyone can add to the story I would just like it if no one posted multiple times in a row and we all need to choose colors for our main characters and out squires

@iHxzardx

So there is only humans as sentient races?

I can come up with more ideas like plot based ones...

This whole squire and I guess Champion thing.... Is this based off the knights of the round table?

Where all the knights are good people and have servants or kids really that are their squires. The squires polish the knight's shoes and whatnot.
