Personality

Oonar is old and with age comes a strange mix of wisdom, humor, peace, and rudeness. Oonar is confident in his own powers of observation and decision-making and, indeed, is known throughout Aeos for his wisdom and power. It is said that even the Dark Lord has failed to best him. Oonar himself can be considered proud and impatient with those whom he deems to be foolish. Nonetheless, he never forgets his own failures and genuinely cares for the people of Aeos.

Weapons

A Magic Staff.

Skills/Magic

Oonar is remarkably powerful in magical ability and blessed by the gods. He can manipulate fire, light, water, earth, darkness, and lightning and is gifted with telekinesis. However, because of his age, Oonar tires easily when using his powers. Thus, he uses them as little as possible and most often fights with his staff.

History

Oonar was born a normal human mage over a thousand years ago. He is old enough to remember the time before the Demon Lords and the chaos that followed in their wake. He was one of the heroes of that age, using his magic to battle demons and it was he found the Hero, Miernes, in a small village and rescued him when the demons attacked and led him to Falendale, the elven city. It was he who guided his friend on his quest for vengeance, recognizing the power that lay within him. Oonar was at Miernes side throughout his adventures. After the death of the last Demon Lord, the two traveled together. It was during these travels that Oonar noticed the change in Miernes, but he closed his eyes to the truth of his old friend’s corruption. It was only when they separated that Oonar realized his mistake. He returned to Falendale, but found that he was living long past the normal span of a human. In a dream, he was visited by the gods, warning Oonar of his old friend’s corruption and decreeing that he must live for as long as his old friend was a threat to Aeos. Oonar left Falendale to search for Miernes, but he never found him. Now, a nine hundred years later, Oonar searches for heroes to aid in the downfall of the new Dark Lord.

Age

Gender

Human

Appearance

Personality

Truthfully, Ossian is the furthest thing from a fairy tale that you can get. He is cynical, sarcastic, and prefers to keep to himself most of the time. He has no time for grand rebellions or reliving stories from the past. He is a realist and prefers to only have himself to look after. Nonetheless, despite this uncaring attitude, Ossian cannot bring himself to be totally heartless. As a mercenary, he is willing to do a lot of things. He is willing to fight, kill, and steal without hesitation, but he draws the line at hurting children or innocents. Nor is he one for torturing people unnecessarily. Often, he struggles between doing the right thing for himself and the right thing for others. Still, he retains a self-preserving attitude and doesn't often do anything that would not benefit him.

Weapons

A longsword and dagger, both accompanied by an oak longbow.

Skills/Magic

He is a skilled swordsmen and bowman. In particular, he is skilled in fighting with a longsword and a dagger in tandem and possesses speed beyond most normal humans. In addition, he can endure extreme heat and cold and can manipulate fire. He can also endure injuries better than most humans.

History

Ossian was born a bar wench’s bastard in a small village within the Empire of Halleoth. He never knew his father and, though this bothered him as a child, he grew not to care as he grew up. Though it seemed likely that the most he would amount to would be an innkeeper, Ossian was always fascinated with the mercenaries and soldiers that would visit the tavern his mother worked at. He was able to befriend one particular mercenary company, the War Hawks, and caught their leader’s eye when he showed himself to be a natural with a knife one mercenary gave him. When he grew older, he was invited to join the company, though his mother objected. Nonetheless, despite her objections, Ossian joined, promising to return to his village at a later date. He quickly showed himself to be among the best in the company despite his age. One day, he did return to his home village, but the place was a ruin. It had been burned down by the Dark Lord’s forces and its people enslaved. When he returned to the War Hawks, he found them slaughtered as well and himself a fugitive in the Empire. He does not know why he is hunted, but Ossian has vowed to survive. Unknown to him, however, the reason the Dark Lord hunts him is simple. He is the descendent of the hero, Miernes.

Yaaaay. Maybe I should wake up on a caravan again. Or in the trash. He'd be a trashman. He'd throw trash all over his enemies. And then start eatin' garbage. And then pick up a trashcan, and bash it over a guy's head.

in all seriousness though, he will probably be waking up in a trash can.

@Lord Orgasmo

im looking forward to the trashcan

Shall I just put my CS in the tab then?

@dereken

Even though it was accepted in V1, you'll still have to post it here in the OOC tab so me or Aqua can accept it.

The story

The World of Aeos is one of astounding beauty, and yet, deep sorrow. It is an ancient world where even the elves, who can trace back their people's history several millennia in the past, have but a small inkling of the world's mysteries. One thing is for sure, Aeos has had a long and varied history. It has had its tragedies and its heroes with many a civilization ripening to perfection before slowly declining into nothing as history takes its course. The world isn't perfect, of course. There had been war, famine, and injustice in the past and many a tragedy making its way into song, but for the most part, people lived happily and at peace with their neighbors, at least, as peacefully as mortal beings can. It is a wonderful world of mystery and magic.

Previously, the last great conflict had ended 1000 years ago when the Seven Demon Lords were defeated by the legendary human hero, Miernes, who disappeared soon afterwards, leaving only the tales of his heroism and deeds behind. For 1000 years, the World of Aeos knew peace. Then the Dark Lord came and everything changed.

No one knew his history or even his name, but they soon learned to fear him for his great physical strength and nigh-impossible Mastery of Sorcery. When he made the call to submit, the Wise were taken aback by how quickly his ranks were filled. Creatures such as Vampires, Dark Elves, Goblins, Trolls and Orcs soon fell under his sway. These races had long been persecuted as "Evil" and were quick to heed the new Dark Lord's call. Many humans too allied or swore their allegiance to the Dark Lord for various reasons, a fact the High Elves are slow to forget. In his onslaught, the Dark Lord gave his enemies a simple choice: submit or die. Many fought valiantly against the Dark Lord, but his armies soon outnumbered the few that opposed him and his Dark Sorcery overpowered and corrupted or destroyed many a promising Mage. The Dark Lord showed no mercy and the tales of his cruelties are the stuff of legend Kingdoms fell and the Dark Lord pressed on relentlessly for a time, bringing the sword and deadly fire upon his enemies. At last, however, he set about consolidating his power for his realm was now vast.

In the center of his domain, the Dark Lord raised the Dark Citadel of Halleoth, an impenetrable fortress built from black stone and filled with everything the Dark Lord and his most trusted servants could desire and guarded by over a thousand of the Dark Lord's elite guard. It became the symbol of the Dark Lord's power and wealth as well as a symbol of fear for no one ever escaped its dungeons alive. From this might fortress, the Overlord set about bringing "order" to his domain, rewarding those that served him in his war with everything they were promised. Apparently, he could be trusted to keep his word. Those under his rule soon adapted to their lord's new order: obey or facet the consequences. If they obeyed, they were left alone. If they did not, they faced consequences. Deadly consequences.

Over 100 years has passed since the Dark Lord appeared. Slowly, his armies march to expand his empire while his enemies ponder on what to do.There are few kingdoms and strongholds remaining who have not already been conquered by the Dark Lord or have sworn allegiance to him. The Dark Lord appears to be immortal and all-powerful with his servants enjoying great rewards. Meanwhile, the Dark Lord turns his mind to hunting down the last descendant of Miernes and the heroes of this age begin to realize that if they do not do something, no one will.

For the character sheets, you only have to do one of them. Anyway, have fun picking!

The rules

1. All character applications are posted in this thread unless you are uncomfortable with such. If that is the case, please message me the CS.

2. No godmodding. Don’t go around and controlling other people’s characters without permission and all that stuff.

3. No instant death. Actually links to the previous rule, since it requires that you control another character to kill it. Another player-controlled character can only die if the RPer agrees beforehand.

4. Kissing, hugging and such is allowed, and so is mating to a certain extent. By that, I mean you are to take it to PMs if you really feel like typing out that entire thing. If not, go ahead and pull a timeskip on us.

5. Once it is your turn to post, please at least give a situation and/or progress-report if you are delayed from
posting by a week, and another periodically at least once a week from then, if the delay becomes extreme. If you expect to be unable to post for two weeks or more, please tell us in advance.

6. If you find yourself unable to post for a long period of time (a month or more), please consider allowing for your character to be carried during your incapacitation, preferably while giving relatively brief and manageable instructions on how to handle this OOC.

7. Communicate. If there is any doubt as to which player is the next to post, please address this doubt OOC as soon as possible; ask if the other player intends to post rather than waiting to see if they will. In fact if you have questions in general, don't hold back: a question asked is potentially a mistake avoided.

8. Do not argue in the OOC thread. If you really must argue, please take it to private messages.

9. Make as many characters as you want!
