[h1][center]~Codex~[/center][/h1] I am mostly using this as a log to keep everything straight and so I don't always have to fish for a description of something. As such, everything here can roughly be described as public knowledge. However, do be smart about this sort of thing, hm? Don't go making me question how your character knows something they reasonably shouldn't just because its posted here. [hr] [hider=Musings of a Goddess] [hider=Oda Nobunaga][color=6ecff6][i]"Aaaah, its her-ah what do I- ahem...sorry. I was distracted. Yes. Nothing indecent at all. A pleasure to meet you, after all this time. You may not remember it, but I took ~very~ good care of you. Ahem, getting off topic again. Unfortunately as I wanted to preserve you in the most pristine way I could, so your body is a bit older model. Its affinity for supernatural feats are quite low, and perhaps its muscles aren't quite right but...fufu, you're Oda Nobunaga. I look forward to seeing your progress.[/i][/color][/hider] [hider=Misaki][i][color=6ecff6]"A scholar, hmm? History is always good to know, lest you run the mistake of repeating past sins. Discovering this worlds history...I wonder what you'd do with it if you discovered it? Be in awe? Amazed? Despair? Maybe all of them? I think I know the perfect thing that you'll do well with. Go and rebuild, but do remember not to get to far ahead of your time. You should know what happens to those who do from your own world, hm?"[/color][/i][/hider] [hider=Alice][i][color=6ecff6]"I...are you sure this is what you want, my little one? I understand you've had a hard life but...mhm, no, never mind. It takes all kinds to create a world. Just be careful you are not swallowed by that darkness you court...fufu, though I suppose such a world might make an interesting story. Reject your humanity then. Unite the monsters of this world and lets see what comes of it. A tragedy or a comedy? Whatever it will be, it will be entertaining, but I digress."[/color][/i][/hider] [hider=Leannah][color=6ecff6][i]Oh my. Are you trying to appeal to certain desires of mine with that appearance? I'll have you know, I'm not so easily swayed, my cat-nip loving feline. A fighter hm...I can't say I've ever been fond of such skills, but I suppose they do have their uses. Such strength and talent will serve you well, here. Just don't get in over your head, hm? I'd rather you not die from trying to say, 1v1 an Elder Beast. Still hmm...what to give you, what to give you...your body already has strength, you can build agility well enough...magical feats are a-hmmm...ah. Egypt, hm? I might be overstepping my domain, but I think you'll quite like this.[/i][/color][/hider] [hider=Bella][i][color=6ecff6]"A burgeoning politician, I see. Do you want me to be honest? I will be anyways. I hate scheming sorts like you. Reminds me of some rather unpleasant pasts. Always stabbing each other in the back. Theft. Destruction. Then all drowned in a deep, dark, sea. But such was their fate for their folly. I suppose I shouldn't judge too harshly, however. Such methods are always necessary to ensure a place remains running smoothly. I have juuuust the thing for you, but should you misuse it - heh, well no, I won't do anything. 'Tis not my place. Don't worry, it'll only hurt for a moment."[/color][/i][/hider] [hider=Isidore][i][color=6ecff6]"I knew someone like you, once. Instead of being trashed and bullied, he decided to be the one doing it himself. He rose to lead a nation, you know, in an effort to ensure people lived safely. He was eventually killed by a girl who was the opposite of everything he was because he took something from her. You have had a hard life,I apologize from pulling you from your well deserved rest, but a man of your determination is needed in this land."[/color][/i][/hider] [hider=Malphas][color=6ecff6][i]"Heh...hahahaha, oh aren't you just adorable. Playing god like this! Do humans have no end to their folly? You would think they'd learn after the first fool that attempted to do that failed miserably....hmhm, or no, perhaps they succeeded in getting what they wanted. Well, no matter. I should simply damn your pitiful soul to oblivion in your realm...but...color me curious as to what sort of tale you'd weave. Go, then. Lets see where your beliefs however shallow will lead you this time. I will be watching."[/i][/color][/hider] [hider=Abigail][i][color=6ecff6]"A writer of sorts, hm? We have something in common, heh, so let me ask you. What is a hero, you think? Someone who saves lives? But what if saving a life comes as a cost to the entire world? Would you find a way to do both, however impossible? Or would you buckle and make a hard decision? But then you're not a hero, are you? You can't save everyone, but you can try. Just don't burn yourself out. Alas, I suppose, 'twas not to be. The aspiring hero was lost to a deep, dark, sea."[/color][/i][/hider] [hider=Donovan][i][color=6ecff6]"You led quite the peaceful life, hm. A peaceful, noble life. I wonder if you could see it. See this world, similar to yours. Skyscrapers. Bridges that span oceans. I can't. This world never had those things, and probably never will. A single foolish human with a selfish desire could easily send everyone back to square one. But go on then. Build. Lay the foundations for generations after yours."[/color][/i][/hider] [hider=Novak][color=6ecff6][i]"My, how curious. Once I thought memories were a persons greatest treasure. After all, even if nothing else one could content to remember good things, and yet you wanted to forget. You humans continue to baffle me, but that's why I like you. Now, weave me a tale then, one who would forget everything in order to move forward."[/i][/color][/hider] [hider=Narkissa][color=6ecff6][i]"So many ambitious sorts, hm? Well, that's why I wanted you in the first place, hehe. I do hope you don't mind me giving you a little boon myself. That empire of yours...Britain, I think? Would have fared much better had they had me on their side. After all, the sea is one of my domains. Just try no to squander it, hm? I look forward to this endeavor of yours."[/i][/color] [/hider] [/hider] [h3][center]~Factions and Locations~[/center][/h3] [hider=Dawn] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/lJSEAlA.jpg[/img][/center] A small village located near the ocean. Once upon a time, worshiped the God of Knowledge, but seemed to have some falling out with him in the past at some point. The village is currently in decline, thanks to various factors. Trouble with the Elder Beast Kyrnith, a lack of children being born, and the forest growing much more aggressive. They primarily subsist off the bounty from the ocean as a fishing village. [hider=Lazhira] [img]https://i.imgur.com/xCu8NkS.jpg[/img] An energetic, friendly girl that lives in Dawn. Seems to have a penchant for getting up to small mischief and learning new things. Has a tattoo of the Illuminators mark on her left arm. Likes to visit the forest, and seems to have some connection with the Kyrnith in some capacity. Doesn't seem to have parents. [/hider] [hider=Enli] The current 'chief' of Dawn. An older man that often wears robes, contemplating how to fix the current troubles of the village. Doesn't like being accredited as being the leader, however, and prefers keeping himself out of the general day to day. Trusts Akando, the leader of the Hunters. [/hider] [hider=Akando] A large hunter and the 'leader' of the hunters of the village of Dawn. Seems friendly an amenable, and seems like he's concerned for the village. Little else is known about him, but he helped some of you put down a violent beast when you arrived. [/hider] [hider=Bolcha] A craftsman in the village. Simple, does leathwork and his shop makes most of the weapons the village uses, and does most of the building. [/hider] [hider=Soyala] A huntress that seems to have ties to the Illuminator. What that connection is isn't known yet, but she seems to be extremely skilled with all manner of weaponry. She too, also seems to be fairly loyal to Malphas for whatever reason. [/hider] [/hider] [hider=Elves/Tamaln] [hider=Leuca] The niece of King Boidmal of the Elves. Seems to have some special power within her veins, and is likely much tougher than she looks. [/hider] [hider=King Boidmal] The King of the elves, and Leuca's uncle. [/hider] [hider=Sorcha] Titles: Storm bearer A powerful swordswoman wielding an arming sword and strange abilities that seem to be natural, rather than learned magic. Not much is known about her, except she has been with the Elvish leaders for quite some time, likely hinting at a longer lifespan than that of a normal human. [/hider] [/hider] [hider=Chagawa] [hider=Lady Mie] A trader from Chagawa, though she seems to be quite...money-hungry and doesn't care much about the quality of her products. While she does have things of quality, she likes to maximize profits by preying on gullible people. [/hider] [hider=Haruno] A swordswoman that is part of Mie's Retinue. Seems a fairly serious, and earnest sort. [/hider] [hider=Ayumi] [/hider] [/hider] [hider=Dwarves] [hider=Lord Firebeard] [/hider] [hider=Otti] A friendly dwarf Stone-singer. [/hider] [/hider] [hider=Apostles of Rheane] [hider=Prophet Rheane] [/hider] [hider=Commander Morgan] [/hider] [hider=Captain Railey] [/hider] [/hider] [hider=Gloomhollow] [hider=Queen Vasserasa] [/hider] [hider=Prince Nesherit] [/hider] [hider=Rullphana] [/hider] [hider=Raelzeth] [/hider] [hider=Vallanur] [/hider] [/hider] [h3][center]~Items~[/center][/h3] [h3][center]~The Divine~[/center][/h3] [hider=Moon Goddess] Name: Delpithi Domains: The Oceans, Moon, Storytelling, Heroes The goddess which reincarnated you into this world. Currently little is known about her, save for her name. Seems friendly and playful on the surface, but her smile belies some ambivalence to humans. [/hider] [Hider=Sun Goddess] Little is known about this god, not even her name. [/hider] [Hider=Death Goddess] Name: Rifelshka Domains: Death, the Underworld. Little is known about this Goddess. Eshka root, is named after her. [/hider] [Hider=God of Knowledge] Name: Iva'Krorh Domains: Knowledge, the Mind. Also known as the Illuminator, this God rules over the Mind and Knowledge. Supposedly he has the ability to grant and take knowledge from a person on a whim, cursing people with dull minds. Seems to be a bit of a trickster god, and somewhat mad. [/hider] [hider=???] [/hider] [Hider=???] [/hider] [hider=???] [/hider] [hider=Suthain] Name: Suthain Domains: ??? An Ancient God only recently regiven its name. Though there may be those out there that worship a certain aspect of it, they do not truly know what this God is.
