[hider=Vocators] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-xPpqAl35I]Theme[/url] [b]Background[/b] The Vocators are an order as old as the Empire itself. When the Empress found her all powerful relic she also found a mask which she gave to her most trusted Lieutenant. The order eventually grew to 65, never more. 1 Leader with the Relic, 4 Lieutenants and 60 underlings (15 per Lieutenant). Their task is to hunt down relics and their users to bring them back to the Empire for "Re-education." If they cannot be brought back they are to be killed and the relic returned to the Sanctuary. They can also be assigned to duties in order to protect the Empress (They do not guard other dignitaries) when her life is in direct danger, they can also be used to remove key personnel from opposing nations however due to their stature and level of intimidation they are never used as Enforcers and if any Vocator attempts to act as one it is scorned and they are removed. --- [b]Relic use/Uniform:[/b] Vocators are all female, the Relic that is used as the source of their power is Genderlocked. Only the Empress truly knows why and as the Leader needs to use it all the members are female. If a male were to ever somehow enter the order they would never be able to obtain leadership as they could not wear the mask without dying and as such would be deemed unworthy. More about where the mask was found is only known to the first Empress, and her current descendant if records were kept. The Uniform is always the same: [img]http://media.tumblr.com/be05891229a0a6ee87d288733d0f82df/tumblr_inline_miivla8l9j1rnvs0g.jpg[/img] The exception to this image is that everyone wears a cloak and the hair is kept short. The cloak is black and simple, and long enough to make it hard to see peoples faces unless at the right angle or up close while the mouth is covered. The lowest levels all wear a plain silver ring, lieutenants have a plain chain necklace and the leader has the Mask. All these items are tied together and it is the first task the new leader has. To link these items to the relic, which does weaken it however the relic wearer still has 2.5x the regular strength/speed and agility. The lieutenants have 1.5x the regular strength speed and agility and the lower ranks only have an increase of 1.1x their regular strength speed and agility. This connection only works if the wearer is within 1km of the relic and the relic user can cut this off at anytime they chose. Of course, unlike true relics, the power of the rings is temporary. i.e. if a ringbearer is slain, as can happen, the ring is of no use to anyone else. Its lieutenant and the leader will know immediately of course, and the acquisition of a replacement vocator will be started. A new ring will be empowered instead and given to one of the many Vocators-in-training. We'd imagine that if there's anyone in the Empire that has proven to elude the vocators this long, he or she could easily be in possession of many such dis-empowered rings taken from those (s)he has slain. It is only the relic of the Vocator's leader that retains its power between owners. The reason it works to transfer between owners the way it does, is that all vocators change slightly upon being given a ring or necklace and slowly change further over time. Generally, by the time any of them try take on a superior, let alone the leader, they have changed sufficiently for the relic to consider them eligible. --- Their primary weapon is a Sovyna which is a six foot long pole arm with a blade at one end [url=http://www.larping.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/402824.png]Url[/url] Their secondary weapon is a sword attached to their belt, and a dagger in one of their boots. However most Vocators in the interest of competition have multiple knifes that only they know the location too. They have been trained to wield bows but it is very rarely that they are seen using them with the intent of getting close to the relic users. --- Can I just point out to anyone that wants to pick a bone with them to remember that they have been trained since childhood to be trained killers and to take down people with relics, they might not know what you have but with all the relics in the world there are bound to be duplicate relics so they may have heard of it before so are trained to adapt easily. Not saying you can't take them down, of course you can but first time or so it won't be easy. --- [b]Affinity:[/b]Kalesian Empire - The Empress [b]Location:[/b] They have a private sanctuary in the mountains to the North East of the centre of the Empires borders. [/hider] [hider=Ivona Danica] [b]Age:[b]25 [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b]Relic Description:[/b] The Relic is a mask. Though you can't see it as technically it is nothing. It hides her face as just a black hole underneath her cloak where her face should be. Which makes her faceless, the relic allows her to manipulate energy within her body and through direct physical contact (Only flesh/flesh none of this glove touch business). With this she can amplify her body to 2.5x its usual strength, agility, speed which is already high. Using this energy through her senses if she is still and concentrates she can detect the unique energy given off by other relics. She can also bind objects with the energy. Such as she is bound to the 4 lieutenants and them to each of their 15 underlings. [b]Skills:[/b] As leader of the Vocators she won the title through combat very recently. Due to the fact that the leader can remove the powers from a Lieutenant she had to fight with her regular speed, strength and agility to someone with just over twice their normal. Due to the fact that The order is hundreds of years old the leader becomes more and more deadly every year which makes her extremely deadly with a blade and a brilliant tracker and good at range. Her skills however do not extend past hunting people and killing them due to her history, and she has very little social skills and is distrustful of everyone. [b]Background:[/b] Like most Vocators she had no life prior. She was taken in from a young age from one of the many orphanages throughout the Empire. She doesn't have much memory of before as she was so young. Until she was fifteen she was fed propaganda, she was driven towards being in peak physical condition. Taught to trust no-one other than the Empress and her word. Her life was a one of struggle, her body was finely tuned into a machine. She had no childhood, she was taught to fight from the first day she was taken into the sanctuary. When she was 15 she became a Vocator when a space was available. Like many Vocators she was given a ring, this ring was tied to that of the Lieutenant in charge of her branch. She was told this would make her stronger however she never noticed it. She spent time in this role hunting down those who used Relics or and bringing them to the sanctuary for re-education, several times she worked against other states and guarding the Empress however as a Vocator she was primarily a hunter. When one of the Lieutenants died she fought for the position, her ring was taken and replaced with a necklace. This time she felt the change in power and like many before her it made her want more, she wanted to be the most powerful. She wanted to be the closest to the Empress. It was all she had ever went for, all she ever tried to achieve. There were several challenges in a very short space of time, the current leader had reached the age of thirty and as such many people were challenging her. Though with the power of the Relic and with the capability of stripping others of their power they all lost. So far she had kept her title as the most deadly, which was why Ivona chose her timing. She struck the second that her predecessor had finished dispatching another contender. As she began she felt her power wain, however it was too late. Her opponent was tired and Ivona won. Donning the mask she became the new leader of the Vocators and was privately congratulated by the Empress. She is now overseeing the invasion to ensure that anyone with relics does not interfere on the wrong side.
