After a stint in jail and a few years in a recovery center, he was given a second chance thanks to his older sister. She gave him a home and a purpose--to help raise her infant son. Having lost her husband in a car crash shortly after her child's birth, she desperately sought help where she could, and given her brother needed his own form of help, it was the perfect mix. He'd live with her and help raise his nephew and, in turn, he would be given the means to stay out of trouble. Unfortunately, tragedy struck years later as his sister lost her own life in the same way her husband had. Now alone with the safety and well-being of a child on his hands, he struggled. By the time the child became a teenager and began to rebel, as teens often do, his patients began to slip. He began drinking once more despite being over five years sober. He lashed out at others for his misfortune. He drove people further away despite needing their help and support. After learning that his nephew was suspended from school for once again talking back to a teacher, the yelling match began between the two. All his nephew did was sit around playing video games, watching anime, and reading comics. He basically wrapped himself in a fantasy world and stopped focusing on reality. Why couldn't he see that? Why did he have to be so wrapped up in something that wasn't even real? He'd done everything he could to raise this boy and yet... In the midst of the fight, his temper boiling over, he began to rip apart comics, break discs of his anime collection, and all but destroy everything his nephew treasured. In response, his nephew took off from the house to stay with a friend, screaming about how he hated his uncle and pulling the 'you're not my real dad!' trope. With his nephew away and his temper still flaring, he began to bag everything in the room. How could his nephew act like his life was so horrible? He didn't know the meaning of the word! Grabbing at the TV, he'd try to rip it from the wall, only for it to snag and fall from his arms. The loud crash of the TV and the broken glass only made his anger rise. Grabbing the broken TV, he would lift it to throw, only for his finger to hit a, now exposed, live wire. In an instant, he was gone and the world had gone dark. When he awakens, the world around him has changed. Instead of the reality he knows, he sees the world as it looks in the very anime his son watched. While attempting to regain his sanity he feels he's lost, he's attacked by a wild animal, one that does not exist in his reality. He is ultimately saved from the beast by a beautiful warrior of a woman and taken back to her camp where the rest of her group is. They are a rebellion against the current lord of the land who has done nothing but harm since his reign. Although they accept his explanation of not being from their reality, to some degree, there isn't much that can be done. The leader, the woman who saved him, tells him that if he helps them overthrow the current royals in charge, she'll do what she can to assist him back into his own reality. Since there isn't much else he can do, he accepts the offer and joins their group. ✫ In this roleplay, you will have the option of playing a human in the anime world or having been changed into something else. This will be discussed ahead of time.[/hider] ° Freedom from a King ° [hider=Click Here for Info] Main Female: Outcast Leader Main Male: Prince Main Others: King and Thomas *We can decide who plays the extra in discussion* He was the only child of the king. He was spoiled, uptight, and felt invincible. He was kept inside the kingdom walls, away from the filth that was the poor. Being only sixteen, he knew he would soon be in line for the throne, but his father wanted to be sure that he was ready for the work that came with ruling a country with a fist of iron... When fourteen years old, his teacher in swordsmanship vanished. His father informed him that his mentor and friend had been killed by rebels, but not much else was said. He knew that rebels existed, they did in all kingdoms. It wasn't until he was sixteen that the king explained the full story. The 'rebels', known as 'Hunters', were a group of people who had disbanded from the kingdom. They were disrupting trade and killed innocent people who traveled to and from the kingdom. Knowing the truth about the Hunters, he accepts the task to prove himself ready to be king by agreeing to go to the forest outside the kingdom and hunt them down. He was to bring back the leader, dead or alive. With a small group along for the ride, he enters the woods late at night, feeling confident. Then...it all went downhill. Ambushed, his men are taken down and he is surrounded. He prepares for the worst, only to receive two large shocks... The first is that his mentor and friend appears, alive and well. The second is the appearance of the leader, a blind woman who informs him that everything he knows is a lie. She gives him an offer. Let her prove it to him that his father is not who he says he is and, if she can, he will assist their cause of taking away his throne... If she fails to prove it to him or he is just as corrupt as his father, she will go back willingly as a captive... Knowing he cannot go home without proving himself and curious of what has been stated, he agrees to the terms. ✫Thomas is a very important character and the romantic interest of the leader. If you are desiring a romantic relationship, you may take on Thomas with a bit of backstory to help. If you're alright with no romantic ties at all, I will play him in full.[/hider] ° The Golden Soldier ° [hider=Click Here for Info] Main Female: King's Maiden Main Male: Golden Soldier (Laurent Hurst) Main Others: Created/Played as Needed Born the son of a king, he was adored at birth and immediately his training began to prepare him for his life as the future king. However, by the time he was six months, they knew something was different. Not even a year old, and he was already taller than the average two-year-old. Before he was ten, he was taller than his father. By the time he was a teenager, he was nearly seven and a half feet tall. People looked at him in both amazement and fear. By twenty, he was eight feet and two inches tall...and still growing. He'd been part of his father's army, fighting the opposing forces of a neighboring kingdom since he was old enough to battle, which was quite young due to his size. The longer he was at war, the more he began to realize that he was fighting for the wrong side... He loved his father, but once he confirmed that he father had been the one to rage it over territory and refused to relent despite many offers of peace from the other side, he knew he had to leave. During a raid, he would abandon the fleet he was part of and his friend, who helped him leave unseen, would report his death to the captain. While his kingdom mourned his death, he went straight for the enemy kingdom, a place known as LaQuin. Due to his size, he was well known, so his arrive was met with guards and forces. Despite being raised in power, he spoke calmly and respectfully, all the way to the moment he stood before the king. The king, a much calmer and level-headed man than his own father, didn't doubt the man's wish to be part of his forces. He had no loyalty to his father any longer, as he sought peace, not war. Sadly, this would mean raging war against his father's forces. It was a task he took without question and did not regret when confronted by the royal forces of his father. He had effectively 'outgrown' his father and his teachings. Over the years, the war raged, but it would calm for stretches of period, allowing him to return to LaQuin to rest. Now in his forties, he stands at eight-feet and eleven-inches. His body his strong, but weak all the same. Having raised to the highest rank in the LaQuin army, a rank known as The Golden Soldier (a title earned by the gold armor he would wear), he was adored by the people. The armor helped him stand and fight in battle, but once removed, a cane assisted him. His entire life, he had done everything needed to accomplish his goals. He had driven back his father's army, helped make peace in the majority of France, rose to a rank that put him in line for the throne should the entire royal family pass, and...that was all. Despite all he had accomplished and all who adored him, he was...alone... Love had passed him by without a chance. His inhuman size made it unlikely he would ever find someone to love him. In the end, he accepted that he would be alone in love, but surrounded by those who cared about him. At least, that was until the day he saw her. On his return from another successful battle, having been away from the kingdom for upwards of a few months, he greets the people of the city as his giant Clydesdale took him back to the castle. Spotting children running in the king's garden, he would stop watch, able to spot the youngest prince among the children. Among them, he also spotted a new boy--an inhuman boy. The inhuman were not unusual in the city, nor anywhere else. However, it was always interesting to see them when they were not attempting to pretend to be human. LaQuin had a strong ban on magic due to instances in the years before. Most people who relied heavily on magic simply didn't stay in LaQuin for more than a short stay. Since the child was in the garden, it meant that he lived in the castle. He would continue to watch the children, soon saying hello to them all. When the inhuman child introduces himself, he questions who the child's guardian is. In turn, he points out a woman in a colorful attire near the tomato plants, harvesting with a few other women. He knew the colorful attire meant she was the head maiden, which meant she was in control of all the other working women in the castle. It took only one look at her face for his heart to jump a beat, and from there, he was determined to know her and become a part of her life. ✫ As is probably obvious, Laurent Hurst is a pre-made character. I even have some drawings of him somewhere. Despite his backstory and appearance, you are more or less open to play him and create story using him as you like.[/hider] ° Of Rose and Thorn ° [hider=Click Here for Info] Main Female: Queen of Rose and Thorn Main Male: Inhuman Blade for Hire Main Others: Created/Played as Needed Of all royalty across the land, she had made a name for herself that traveled the distance. Not only was she the only queen in existence to have dedicated her life to mastering magic, but her beauty made her shine like the brightest star in the night sky. Unfortunately, whenever something shined so bright, there were those who sought to take it for themselves. Every king, Prince, and man of power who came to her door were turned away. Many refused to give up, but would continue their charm from afar with gifts and letters that told of their love for the queen. Others, however, threatened to take her by force if she did not give herself willingly. They threatened to destroy the city she ruled and create hell. Her response? Bring all the power they can... In the years to come, she would become known as a deadly queen who slaughtered her enemies. Her title arose by the walls of roses and thorns that grew into a dome around her city, protecting it from all outsiders. It was safe behind these walls of roses that she remained, practicing her magic by the means of ancient books and tutors... With her goal being to open 'The Gates of Heaven' using a spell of the same name, she put out word across the land for anyone who could tell her of the spell’s location. Sadly, what came were many false leads. Then came the day a letter arrived by a trusted source, telling her of a location far away... For the first time in years, she decided to leave her kingdom to seek out the spell she had sought for so long... Months after her adventure began, word was known that she had gone out. People looked for her, but no one could find her... Hiding as a blind traveler, she didn't face much more than the occasional annoyance, but as more and more people began to look for her, she decided her cover needed more...well, cover... Within a large city, she decides to look for a sword for hire... If she can have someone traveling with her, her appearance as a traveling blind woman would only seem more honest... So, with posters for hire in her hand, she heads for the local tavern to find someone best suited for the job... ✫ I keep your character out of the initial backstory as I want you to create your own for your char and design him as you please.[/hider] ° Tears of an Angel ° [hider=Click Here for Info] Main Female: Angel of Love Main Male: Human Prince Main Others: Because there are a lot, I'm going to list them and who is expected to play them: Me: Angel of Entry, Head Maid and Demonic Princess You: Angel of Destiny, Angel of Darkness and Demonic King The Angel of Destiny had watched over the human realm since his creation by the hand of God. He was designed to ensure that things went as it should to stop the world from crumbling due to interference from outside forces. To his delight, he was gifted a creation from God, a female angel known as the Angel of Love, to be his love. Unfortunately, it seemed to also be a test from God, for despite how much he cared for her, she was known for caring for the humans too much. With help from her friend who guarded the entry to Earth, she would often visit the human realm and interfere in small things to better their lives. They were unable to see her, so they did not know of her existence beside them, but every small thing she did would redirect the lives of many. Often, he would remind her of that one big falter which caused an entire nation to vanish over time. However, she never took him seriously, as she believed destiny was not something someone else controlled, but something created by the action that those, and themselves, took. Down in the human realm, a prince has learned that his parents have arranged a marriage between him and the princess of another kingdom. Despite his disinterest and argument, the marriage is sealed. In response, he decides to run away, only to be attacked in the woods outside the kingdom wall that leaves him on the brink of death. Only once his life is nearly gone does he see a glowing figure across the field who approaches slowly, singing to him. The next thing he sees is his room as he awakens. Upon the floor are his bloodied clothing. Near the window, a glowing feather. Believing an Angel saved him to show him that he must follow the destiny set before him by his family. In reality, the Angel of Love had saved him simply to save him, feeling sorry for him. When back in Heaven, her Fiancé bans her from leaving Heaven for her interference, stating she doesn't know the problems she might have caused. In annoyance, she leaves Heaven and goes back to check on the prince, only to learn of his arranged marriage. At first, she is happy for him, but when she spots the arriving king and his daughter, her angelic sight allows her to see beyond their human forms. The two are possessed by demons who have killed the true king and princess. They are planning an overhaul of the kingdom through marriage, which will lead to more death. Worried for the safety of the prince and his family, she hurries back to Heaven and confronts Destiny. Despite her pleads, he refuses to intervene. He also bans her from doing so, this time ensuring that she cannot enter the human world anymore. Her friend attempts to calm her, but he can tell that she is determined to help the prince. When he refuses to open the gates to the human realm due to the rules of Destiny, she chooses another route. Without warning, she dives down from Heaven, heading for the underworld. Upon entry, she lands in the realm of the Angel of Darkness--an angel cast down by Destiny himself. Her friend follows to stop her, but becomes trapped out of the void due to the dark power surrounding it. When approached by the Angel of Darkness, she asks him to remove her wings temporarily, as she wishes to save the prince. The removal of her wings will allow the humans to see her, but also limit her powers. He warns her of the pain it will cause her, and when he sees her determination despite the agony she will go through, he decides to up the game in his favor. He tells her, he will remove her wings, but only if she agrees to his terms... If she saves the prince by stopping the marriage, he will return her wings. However, if she fails to stop the marriage, she will be dragged back into his realm at the stroke of midnight and given wings of darkness, to stay by his side for all eternity in the pits of the underworld. She agrees.[/hider] ° The Painted Lady ° [hider=Click Here for Info] Main Female: The Painted Lady Main Male: Leader of Army Main Others: Created/Played as Needed A land of warriors—that was where they had ventured to. He and his army. He and his country. He and himself. Seeking new lands to make their own, they were determined to ensure their own survival through the destruction of others. They’d been across the world, picking and choosing where they would invade and where they would conquer. The only place they sought but failed was a secret land of warriors that was all but a whisper in the wind when it came to myths and legends. A secret society of powerful men locked behind the unseen. Yet, one day, the entrance would be found upon the ocean. The rift tore and the entrance into the secret land opened wide. Prepared and without hesitation, they entered, sailing toward the flourishing island of the unknown. The island, thick and wild, kept them guessing as they searched for the tribe they wished to battle and enslave. After two weeks of only clues of the existence of the tribe, they grow weary and unsure. He, unwilling to give up, heads out alone to find the tribe. From the height of a cliff, he finally succeeds in finding the location of the village where his proclaimed enemy hides, but he knows he cannot proceed alone. As he makes his way back to camp, he decides to cross a frozen lake, only to catch a glimpse of the dark blue skin of the men he desired to fight. When he finally manages to chase down the creature, he’s surprised to see a woman. More so, a woman who is painted blue. She is clearly a warrior, but not of the same breed of the creatures he came to battle. Due to her beauty, and his sexist views, he chooses not to battle with her, but tells her to warn the men that they will come for them. That night, as his men prepared to head out for battle, they end up the one surprised by a powerful attack. However, not from the army of blue men. A single familiar woman is taking on the masses. Although they manage to overtake her, it’s not before she has slaughtered many and injured many more. Realizing the risk of battle, he counts his losses and opts to take her hostage as he hears the tribe approaching to assist her. Sacrificing a few more men, he and his men escape through the rift and head for home.[/hider] ° A Race for Life ° [hider=Click Here for Info] Main Female: Angel of Legend Main Male: Descendant of Child Savior Main Others: Created/Played as Needed Thousands of years ago, the world raged war in every corner. Every breed and race hated others and raged battle to destroy them. The hatred between the races continued for so long, the world began withering into a wasteland. During the 'Last Battle', legend tells of an angel that appeared high above the battlefield, its power strong enough to make the world shake. The angel had watched them fight until it could no longer stand to witness the hatred. If they all wished for one another to die so badly, the angel would grant their wish and destroy them all. Yet, as the angel went to do just that, in the silence, a crying was heard of a young Elven child. His mother and father had died in the battle prior to the angel's arrival. In a moment of compassion, the angel flew to the child and took it away to the ledge, safe from the onslaught of the creatures below. There, they spoke... If only due to the child's belief that the people could live in peace, the angel decided to spare the world. The angel warned them that, should it return on this date twenty-thousand years in the future and see only hate, they would be given no mercy. Twenty-thousand years later, with only months to the day of warning, the legend has...more or less died. The majority have forgotten or simply don't believe the legend. Others, however, run the world, warning people of the angel's return. Though the world has improved by great leaps and bounds, hatred still remains between many breeds of creature. One powerful man, a descendant of the same line from the Elven boy saved by the angel, rolls his eyes at the idea of the legend. He runs a powerful business that runs excavation of magical stones. When visiting a grand hotel run by his company, he spots a beautiful woman who is speaking with people in the lounge. She is attractive, appears wealthy, and also seems polite and well-mannered...just the way he likes his women to be. He introduces himself as the owner of the company. He learns that the woman is the daughter of wealthy line, traveling to learn more about this 'legend' everyone is talking about. He doesn't see the point, but she explains she has interest in legends such as these, as they give a deeper look into the mentality of the people who create them. Using this knowledge, he takes her for drinks and informs her that he is one of the descendants of the Elven child from the legend, but he isn't sure how much he believes in the whole thing as there isn't much proof other than a story. After a night of dancing and flirting, he offers to take her to the train the next morning to see her off, to which she agrees. Once she boards the train, he overhears to men planning to attack her, and so he jumps on to follow them, protecting her when they attack. However, by the time the two men are subdued, the train is on the move. Knowing it will be a long ride before the next stop, he decides it's the perfect time to take a vacation from work. ✫ Despite being from an Elven line, you can make him a mix of whatever you'd like. It's just in his blood, it doesn't mean he must be specifically Elven.[/hider] ° Crown of Blades ° [hider=Click Here for Info] Main Female: Maiden Main Male: Executioner OR King Main Others: Elderly Head Maid and whatever you don't choose as your main. Because the plot can be evenly split when it comes to your main character, you may choose which you'd like. The Executioner is the darker character, while the King is the holier character. When her village is pillaged by raiders and set ablaze, she manages to escape, but only barely. Wounded and tired, she wanders into the open land, heading in the only direction she knows civilization can be found. As the castle comes into view in the distance and she finally sees the walls of the city, her exhaustion brings her to her knees. So close, yet her body refuses to go any further. Her sight fades to darkness and she collapses into the grass. Motion awakens her as she sees the blurry figure of a man carrying her. As she moves in and out of consciousness, she hears a deep voice speaking and sees the castle gates. When she awakens in full, she is lying in a bed with an old woman tidying up the room around her. She learns from the old woman that the king's executioner found her on his return from a trip to a neighboring village. He brought her to the castle where she and the other maids took her for tending. The old woman warns her that she will be without the ease of walking for a few days, as her feet are badly wounded from both the fire and the long journey she took. The king, once he learns of what happened to the woman, decides to meet her in person. Unlike many people of power, he is a man of honor and a kind heart. After his parent's death as a child, he was raised by the elderly maid, who he saw as a second mother. Upon his arrival to meet the young woman, he is entranced by her beauty and saddened by the pain he can see in her eyes. Wanting the best for her, he offers her a job as a maiden in his castle, which she accepts. Once she is capable of walking, she is shown the establishment and given simple chores by the elderly woman as not to push her too far when still weak. When asked if she can thank the man who found her, the elderly woman shakes her head and tells her it is best to stay away from him. She gives no further explanation, but it is not needed. On her third day of work, a maid asks that she take over the changing of the sheets in a room she was stationed to because her child has gotten a fever and needs tending. Without thinking twice, she takes the job so that the woman need not worry about her child's safety, not realizing she has put her own in danger. While in the room changing sheets, a powerful looking man arrives. Hearing his voice, she recognizes it as the man who had been carrying her. Unsure of how to react, she simply attempts to excuse herself, but he blocks her way. He already knows the old woman would have told her to be weary of him, but that old woman is of no concern to him. He has a seat of power due to his relationship with the royal family, allowing him to get away with quite a lot if it cannot be proven. After forcing her to thank him for his kind act of saving her life, he explains the rules to her. If he gives a command, she do it, whether or not the old woman agrees. The only one who can override his commands are the prince. He is her savior, so she owes her life to him. Once the rules have been established, he allows her to leave. Unbeknownst to her, a game is about to be played with her as a pawn. The executioner plans to use her to end the King's life, just as he had ended the lives of his parents... He failed once to kill the King when he was but a child, but he refuses to stand by and watch a child sit in the throne that would have been his. As for the king, he desires to become closer with the woman, which throws a wrench into the plans of the executioner, who worries that she may be unwilling to assist if she becomes too close to the king.[/hider] ° A Dragon's Heart ° [hider=Click Here for Info] Main Female: Mystic Main Male: Dragon Main Others: Created/Played as Needed Long ago, when dragons roamed freely, a rumor began that stated 'if the heart of a dragon is consumed upon removal, the one who devours said heart will gain immortality and the strength of a dragon'. Many dragons were killed to the point of the extinction of specific breeds. Many dragons would take to destroying themselves in order to protect them from suffering at the hands of the humans. Despite many attempts, no one had proven the legend true, but it did little to kill it. The slaughter of dragons became so intense that those who still existed chose to hide as the very things they hated most--humans. Using their powers, they would turn themselves into humans, living among them and living normal lives like all the rest. It simply became the norm. When the truth was discovered, specific hunters would be hired to seek them out and hunt them down. That was exactly how he would come to be before a king. Bound in magical chains that kept him from escaping, his anger would reveal the dragon within as smoke billowed from his mouth. The king would thank the man who brought him the dragon, but before giving him his handsome reward, he would some his mystic to ensure that this dragon was indeed a dragon, and not a creation by the hunter--something he had fallen prey to before the mystic came to live in his home. From the shadows a beautiful woman appeared, who would stare into the eyes of the dragon and confirm his identity to the king. Once paid, the hunter would leave and the king would demand a dagger to cut the heart from the beast. The mystic would intervene, however, informing him that the dragon had to be in dragon form for it to work properly. The only way to get the dragon to appear would be to wear him down until he could not remain as a human any longer. To his dismay, the king begins to call for the dragon's torture, but again the mystic intervenes. Physical bodily harm would not lower the dragon's magic. It would have to be slowly removed from his body. It would be a slow process, that could take upwards of a month or more depending on the dragon's strength, but it was something she could do... The dragon is than branded on the neck with a mark that would seal his more dangerous powers. While his strength would still be beyond that of a mere human, it would not be enough to escape the walls of the castle. With shackled wrists and ankles, he would be taken to a tower high above the castle and locked away. A few days would pass before the mystic arrived, and immediately the first thing he asks her is 'why did you lie?'. Though it was true he would not leave his human form unless his power was weakened, it did not matter which from he was in to take his heart. She simply informs him that it is of no concern to him and that she will begin the removal of his power. Despite attempting to harm her a few times, she never attempts to hurt him in turn despite clearly having the magical ability to do so. She simply keeps on schedule with the removal of his powers, day by day. Over the course of many sessions, he realizes she is only taking a small portion each time and always giving him enough time to replenish the majority of what she took. She isn't trying to harm him. She's stalling... She wants him to escape...[/hider] ° Love of a Beast ° [hider=Click Here for Info] Main Female: Sanctuary Guardian Main Male: Human turned dragon Main Others: Rival Soldier and other Dragons/Soldiers The dragons were once a powerful and threatening force, but now were a rare sight. After centuries of dragon hunting, only so many were left. Even still, they too were hunted down, for the humans believed it best that they be purged from the world. He was no different. The son of a powerful general who was one of the top-ranking soldiers when it came to killing dragons. The only person even remotely close to his level was his rival--his brother. The two hated one another. It had started as a playful game to see who could become the best, but somehow had turned into utter hatred and disdain for one another. After a dragon attacks a local farm, the two race off to find the culprit. Upon arrival at the dragon's den, they argue about the best way to strike. This ultimately led to a battle where he would become mortally wounded. To his horror, after his brother slayed the dragon, he simply promises to tell the people he fought valiantly...and left him there to die. The dragon, still holding on to what life it had left, would stare at him and he at it. Then he would hear a voice that echoed inside his head. ~With all that I have left...you will know my pain...~ Using the last bit of his energy, the dragon would curse the dying human to become a dragon like himself as he faded from existence. For weeks after, he struggled to survive. Not only was he having to be cautious of the many humans who wished to do him harm, but food was scarce unless he attacked the neighboring farms... A month after living as a dragon and having begun raiding the farms of livestock at night, his own brother manages to shoot him down as he flies toward the mountains. Upon crashing near a lake, he is netted and surrounded by hunters. When his brother arrives, he feels his anger rising, but he is too weak to stop him. Before the killing blow can be made, his brother's sword is shot from his hand and a woman arrives upon the back of a wingless dragon as it runs across the lake toward them. The woman, despite initial backlash for her actions, calmly explains to the man's brother that he is breaking the agreement by attempting to kill the dragon on her land... The land they were on was not ruled by their kingdom, but by her. It had been written into a decree with the neighboring kingdoms that from a mile before the lake to the mountain, there would be no dragon hunting. The price was steep should the rule be broken, so the soldier takes his leaves. The woman immediately frees the dragon and tells him to come with her. He follows her to the mountain where a sanctuary has been built. Dragons of all type reside there, including some who were said to no longer exist. Through the other dragons, he learns that the woman's family had always been friends with the dragon lineage and they worked together to ensure a peaceful unity. She protected them and they protected her. With the teaching of an elderly dragon, he begins to learn to communicate with the woman, but finds that whenever he attempts to tell her the truth of who he is, he can't remember the words. The elderly dragon informs him that it is part of the curse. He will never be able to tell a human the truth, nor will he ever be freed until the dragon's soul, which now resides within him, feels he has paid for his crimes... In an effort to do just that, he begins to help the sanctuary in any way he can, working beside the woman and growing a new respect for the dragons she tends to. He grows close to the woman, and due to him truly being human, begins to fall in love with her, but is unable to tell her. One evening, he sees a group of soldiers arriving, led by his brother. When she comes to greet them, he realizes that his brother has come to apologize for what happened at the lake. He even brings her a gift as an apology. She accepts and simply wishes there to be no more confusion about the line they cannot cross when hunting. He agrees and states he has warned his men to not pass into her territory when chasing a dragon. He expects him to leave, but no... Instead, he tells her he will come around from time to time to check in on her. Given her family has long since passed and she lives out in the middle of nowhere, she isn't exactly living the best life. He doesn't like this. His brother had decided to take an interest in the woman, but he worries it is simply to win her favor... If the two were to marry, the land would become his...and the dragons could be killed under his rule... With his own feelings for the woman and his concern for the dragons a priority, he begins pushing to expel the curse by doing whatever he can to help the dragons that reside outside the sanctuary, and by keeping his brother at bay.[/hider] ° The Mana Core ° [hider=Click Here for Info] Main Female: The Mana Core Main Male: Surviving Mana Main Others: The other Mana Pieces The world survives by the flow of mana drawn from a source known as the 'Core'. Eons ago, the mana core, to better protect the energy flow across the world, created 9 living mana that were scattered across the land. They acted as a means for the mana to flow directly into their location, playing guardian for their location. In time, many eons after their creations, one mana lost his way, forgetting the reason behind saving the world that seemed too selfish and self-absorbed. Why protect people who did not care to protect the world in return? Due to his departure, the other mana would have to try to share their own power with the location he had left to die. In time, the rogue mana would destroy many of the others, leaving only three. Their power along could not feed the world, resulting in the death of nature. As the world turned to wasteland, the mana grew weaker and soon had to stop their own flow of mana to keep themselves from dying before they could find a cure for what now plagued the earth. One mana, on his last bit of life, decided to seek out the core that had created them. Upon finding the core, his energy would be taken from him and the core would awaken, becoming a beautiful woman who brought life where ever she went. Even his life was returned upon her arrival to the surface. Without the mana spirits being upon the world, the world would begin to feed from the mana core itself, weakening her to the point of collapse and amnesia. Knowing she must be around the other mana, he takes her to where he knows the other two reside. Despite her amnesia, she seems to be determined to protect the world. To do so, the mana must assist her in rebuilding the other mana pieces and returning the world to its former glory. However, to complete that, the rogue mana must be found and reabsorbed into the core.[/hider] ° Mirror-Mirror ° [hider=Click Here for Info] Main Female: Sacrifice Main Male: Prince Main Others: Created/Played as Needed Long ago, a king met a beautiful peasant woman and fell in love with her instantly. Despite his immediate request of marriage, she refused. Though upset and confused how someone could reject him, he didn't give up. He continued to come visit her village, bringing gifts, helping her and the other people out on their farms, and doing all he could to win her love. Even though it took nearly a year, he would win her heart and she would agree to marry him. In his castle, she was adored by everyone. The biggest and most beautiful wedding was being prepared and everything seemed to be going perfectly. That was...until the fire... Only two days before the wedding, a portion of the castle went up in flames. Though she escaped with many of the maids, when she heard a child crying in the flames, she ran back inside. Because of her actions, not a single life was lost, including that of the child who had been trapped in the flames. The only damage was to her face and body, burned by the raging fire. The wounds healed as much as they could, but she was left with hideous scarring. The king, unable to see this, canceled the wedding and banned her from the kingdom. With her heart broken and feeling torn inside, she would prepare to take her own life, only for a red-eyed man to appear in her dying minutes. He tells her that there is much that can still be done and her life should not be wasted because of the actions of a heartless king. In exchange for her service, he offers her a deal. He will grant her everlasting life, beauty, healthy, and power...if she agrees to allow him to curse the King...and for her to give him sacrifices ever twenty years... Still sad and angry for the actions of the King, she agrees. Her body and face are healed, and she is given the power she desires. In return, he curses the King to have every daughter born to his family line to die at birth...and for every Queen married in to die giving birth regardless of the gender... A cruel cycle, but one that would continue for over a thousand years. As the new cycle of sacrifices are summoned by letter, the current prince, having watched his step-mother and sister die to the curse, decides he must find a way to put an end to the madness. He manages to track down a sacrifice from a neighboring kingdom, a beautiful woman who had been the mystic to the king of the kingdom she resided. Unlike many sacrifices called upon, she explains that she goes willingly. There is no escape. Those who do not go willingly are forced to go through actions of the curse that will take over their minds. He asks to accompany her, telling her that his family has suffered at the hands of the curse for too long and he seeks vengeance. She tells him that it will be hard to achieve such goals, but that she admires his desires to change the way the lands had worked for so long in an effort to not only save his family but also the many victims. Together, they will venture into a land of demons and mystical creatures as they journey to the tower where the demonic resides.[/hider] ° Time-Lock ° [hider=Click Here for Info] Main Female: Time Traveler Main Male: Hero Main Others: Created/Played as Needed She lost her life young to an attacker outside the club she worked at. Without friends or family, there was no one to miss her. This was why they picked her for their experiment. Dug up from her grave, she was given new life by a group of women who required her assistance to better the world. by all accounts, they were feminists who sought to change the flow of time by removing serial killers and rapists from history. The time machine had been functioning for over a year, but they'd been unable to find a way to go back in time without damaging the life of the person sent back. That was where she came in. They had realized that a living being could not enter the portal without risking death to themselves when history changed. However, they could send in someone who was technically dead. The life they gave her was only enough to give her the ability to live, despite her heart no longer beating. Should she change the past, she could not die, for she was already dead. Due to the way she died, she took on the job and began traveling through time to take away the filth that cursed society. Thanks to her revival, her body had enhanced abilities, from strength to speed. This gave her the upper hand in every fight should she be unable to use her weapons or needed a quick escape. When given a mission to go back to medieval times to stop a serial rapist, she finds the world to be much different than history had ever described. The town she arrives via the portal in is under attack by demonic creatures who circle in the sky. With her weapons and enhancements, she takes down a few of the creatures. Unfortunately, the villagers do not see this and believe that she is a witch who is controlling the very demons she just protected them from. With the use of magic, she is captured and locked away in a cage in the center of town. due to a magic chain, her enhancements weaken and she is unable to escape. Two days later, a man arrives who the town seems to adore. He was summoned to the town a week prior to help rid them of the demonic creatures she'd taken out days before. When he sees her, he is curious to say the least, and given his sexual nature and love of beautiful women, he wants to know everything. Not believing that she is the one who controlled the monsters, having seen a few of the dead corpses on his way into town, he offers to buy her and take her away from the town. They warn him of the dangers, but he presses on and ultimately purchases her. Once outside the town, she attempts to open the portal to go home now that her hands are free, but the portal doesn't open. Assuming it's a glitch, she doesn't worry, even though the reality is much grimmer. With nowhere to go, and the man not fully grasping what she explains the remote to be, she reluctantly decides to travel with him for the time being. Things become complicated quickly when not only does she realize he's her target and isn't exactly what the notes given to her explains he is (he is not serial rapist, but allowed towns to pay the debt of his service by the means of a woman of his choosing should they be unable to pay), but due to the era and the fact he purchased her, he truly believes that she is his property.[/hider] ° Gem Born ° [hider=Click Here for Info] Main Female: Legendary Warrior Main Male: Gem Born Main Others: Played/Created as Needed War was inevitable. Those who sought power never stopped their pursuit in achieving greatness through any means. In this world, of many powerful beings, there were only two true powers that could turn the tide of war. The first had been around for as long as people could remember—the Gem Born. Every thousand years, a large gem would fall from the sky and crash into the Earth. Within, a powerful male grows, forming through the absorption of the life of those around them. Once born, the desires of those it absorbed becomes its own, making it a weapon that can turn the tide of war in an instance. Though war could be won, it was a win that never lasted for more than a hundred years or so. Those born from the Gem would fade from existence when all those whose life the absorbed to be born died. Upon their disappearance, war would start again… Due to the inconsistency of when the Gem would fall and when the Gem Born would die, many sought a new means of power. This second power would be found by chance. As two children ran for the lives from a group of goblins, they are saved by a lone woman who easily dispatched the attacking creatures. Unbeknownst to her, the children’s parents had arrived just in time to witness her power and soon the rumor of the woman passed from mouth to mouth until it felt as if the world was looking for her. The next few hundred years were spent in hiding, as a captive, forced to fight, and finding freedom. It was a cycle she faced day in and day out. Unlike the Gem Born, she did not seem to die simply by time passing or the death of those around her. During a time of freedom from those who sought her power, she would witness the falling of the new Gem Born. First on the scene, she planned to take the gem to safety, but sensing others arriving, she is forced to flee, wishing the creature luck in the battles he will face. Years later, the wars are raging as they always have, with the Gem Born active on the front line to those who found him. While running through a campground of the enemy, he follows a runner into a nearby cave where he manages to kill his target. As he prepares to leave, he senses someone else in the cave nearby, and attacks without question, only to be attacked in turned. The end result is him pinned on his back, and both their weapons at one another to cause a stalemate. The Gem Born immediately feels a sense of recognition as he stares up at the woman over him. Due to her having been the first to find him before his birth, her life force was the first absorbed, tying his life to hers. Hearing his group coming, she takes off without a word. Once reunited with his group, he informs them of the woman and finally learns about the other legendary power that exists in the world. Knowing that the combined power of the woman and the Gem Born will seal their eternal victory in the war, they send the Gem Born out to find her, unaware of his life tie that connects him to the hers.[/hider] ° Swapped ° [hider=Click Here for Info] Main Female: Look-a-like Main Male: Prince Main Others: King, Elderly Maid, etc. War had been raging for far too long and it finally seemed like peace was around the corner. The king of one nation had heard of the beauty of the other kings daughter and offered treaty for a marriage between the two. When all was agreed upon, the days began to countdown for the day he would send his daughter to the other kingdom in trade for the safety of the people. One kingdom waited excitedly, while the other scurried in panic. Little did the king know, the other king's daughter was nothing short of an all-mighty brat. She was rude, cold, and didn't take directions from anyone. His daughter refused to agree to the marriage and threatened to create a scene if he forced her. Not knowing what else to do, he began to prepare for the worst case scenarios. Take back his word and rage war...or send his daughter and have her create war for the unfair trade... While out in the city just a week to the day, he meets a woman by accident who, to his amazement, looks only identical to his daughter, though she is a little bit older and a lot more shapely. Basically, she was a more attractive version. She could have been a older sister. Maybe a twin? Once the two part, he realizes what he must do in order to save his kingdom. The night before he is to send his daughter, he has the woman kidnapped and brought to the carriage just outside the city. They explain what they are doing and that she has no choice. She only begins to realize the severity of the situation when she spots the corpse of the real princess lying beyond the carriage. Not wanting war to rage, nor to risk her own life should she refuses, she takes the role of the princess. Once she arrives, the king and his adult son notice she is more attractive than the paintings, but assume the paintings were simply from years prior. Well, the king does and proceeds with the wedding. However, his son is no fool. He had heard the tales of the princess and knew much more than his father. Using this knowledge, he confronts the look-a-like. Though she has power as the new queen, she still has to fear both her own death and the risk of war. Surprisingly, the prince has no interest in turning her in...assuming she listens. Not only does he want her help in killing his father to ascend to the throne, but he wants her as his own.[/hider] ° Dance ° [hider=Click Here for Info] Main Female: Hard Rock Female Main Male: Disco Prince Main Others: Created/Played as Needed *We can decide who plays the extra in discussion* Different worlds exist. Some more similar to the basic idea of earth than other. He was from a world where the 1970s never seemed to leave and Disco was the name of the game. He was known as the Disco Prince, a hero in his world who fought evil. She, on the other hand, came from a world of Hard Rock and Heavy Metal. Was she good? Not quite. Was she evil? Possibly not. But she had a set of lungs on her that could rattle the bones when needed. She wasn't known as a hero, but she was known by her people as a powerful figure. During a concert she attended, a rift opened, sucking her in. When she drops out, she lands in a world that is not her own. It's here she's confronted by the Disco Prince when her demeanor and attire gets her questionable looks. At first, he attempts to arrest her, but she puts up a fight and she escapes into the city. He takes chase, following her through the city. When he finally finds her, she is assisting a woman by defending her from thugs. It's then that he realizes she may not actually be a criminal. Once the two puts aside their concerns, they begin to focus on what brought her here. In time, rifts will open and they will be hurled through the many worlds as a dark force attempts to take absolute control and combine the worlds together under his rule.[/hider] [/center][hr]
