Bio

Alright Soooo here it is,
I'm an old man (post 30's) who has been at the RP game since I was in Middle School. Happily Married and a huge Nerd. My main interests for RP's and such are Medieval Realistic Fantasy, As in no one person wielding a massive 200 lb weapon in one hand or going way over the top with crazy 25 hit combos in the air. I like things to play out as they would normally of course with magic, magic is always fun. I also like Futuristic Space (Star Wars, Mass Effect, and almost anything involving some sort of Mech). I work a crap ton and cant really get into a real post every day but I do try. If you think you got something I might like hit me up.

Gabriel listened to Puru's complaints. "And I am sure she is sorry she destroyed your funnels, or will be once she gets to know you. But she was fighting for the enemy's at the time so I can't really blame her. As for being a weird Newtype its not nice to judge someone by their race Puru you should know that. She can't help being what she is." Gabriel scolded the young girl. Before Puru responded Gabriel started to open a connection to the ship. "This is Gabriel, were done over here. Ambush was successful, and we have captured an enemy Ace who wishes to defect. But enemy leader escaped and Rowan was KIA. Things didn't go exactly as planned but our units only suffered minor damage. Unless you want us to push forward we will be heading back to the Sundown." Gabriel reported. before starting to salvage what he could from the downed suits. Then Saturnalia showed herself, and her presence was a little confusing. "Saturnalia? what are you doing over here, our operation was successful and were getting ready to move back." Gabriel said over coms just before Reve used her speakers to call out the name Tieria. "Seriously? you had outer speakers this entire time and you instead decided to barrage my brain to talk instead of using your speakers." Gabriel said to himself watching and waiting to see what would happen.
Malikoy: Jagrid as a character looks fine to me, the only thing that gets me is the nation of choosing. Spartan's in general were of greek decent and although Alexander never conquered Sparta, they were very close and still part of his lands. and with that being said I believe that if there were to be a Spartan culture in this world it would develop in Anavio which is similar to its original home. Where as the Caudium is more based around Rome which was an entirely different Culture in which a city state like Sparta wouldn't be allowed to exist as an individual city so built on fighting could be a threat to the entirety of the nation. But aside from a quick change in Nation I don't see any real problem with the character and ill accept him.
-=Character Sheet=-

Name: Silus Drakos

Gender: Male

Age: 38

Nationality: Kingdom of Anavio

Appearance:

6'3" Athletic Build

Bio: Born and raised in the Kingdom of Anavio, Silus grew up on stories of the great Iskandar and always dreamed to become a great hero himself. This dream, along with his parents standing in the kingdom pushed Silus into a military career at an early age. As a boy he began training and was enrolled in the military academy of Tolbiacum. Silus excelled in his training and was even moved into the advanced classes with training to become part of the Royal Guard. And by the time Silus was eighteen and enrolled in the Military he was far above his classmates and well on his dream.

Even with his intense training Silus still had to serve in the normal military for 5 years before he could be accepted into the Royal Guard. Again Silus excelled in the military setting working his way through the ranks. Within three years of joining the Anavion Army Silus was promoted and able to lead a troop of his own men. And his first mission with his group was simple enough to eliminate a group of bandits hold up in the Central Forest of Anavio. But the simple mission went wrong somehow and although the bandits were eliminated Silus' team never made it back. The remains of the team were found a week later most unidentifiable and the entire team was pronounced dead.

Ten years went by before Silus mysteriously returned. But he didn't return as a Anavion Soldier, but as a member of the Order of Hunters. Sworn to secrecy over the event years before he had come back to Anavio to see his family and say goodbye one last time before leaving to his post far from home. In the seven years since then Silus has once again proven his worth on many a battlefield and worked his way up the ranks of the Order. Today he stands as Captain of Raven's Peek and is once again ready to lead soldiers into battle. But this time he will not face man, but something far worse.

Caudium Empire

History: An old Nation dating back to the dawn of civilized man. They were once the most powerful nation in the land ruling over most of mankind. But the Caudium Empire grew to large for it's own good and tension started to brew. Soon Rebellions started to form, and what started as a few town soon grew to a threat to the entire nation. And the Caudium Empire's strength was turned against it. The men who remained loyal to the Empire were constantly pushed back and overpowered until they got to Dragon Tooth Pass. The narrow and highly defensible pass was where the Rebellion's advance was brought to a halt. Soon after a there was piece, the Caudium Empire agreed to let the rebelling regions have their freedom and focused on rebuilding and strengthening itself so that some day they could reclaim their lost lands. Today the Caudium Empire is once again powerful, but the current Emperor has focused on his nation as it is instead of going to war in order to gain more territory.
Culture: Old Roman
Capital City: Dragon Tail Keep

Tachikawa

History: Men of honor and tradition. The Nidel Dynasty have controlled Tachikawa since the Warlord Natsumi Nidel rallied the local warlords to fight back the Caudium Empire. After the Caudium Empire was pushed back the Nidel Dynasty started a tradition of Isolation. During this time of Isolation the Warlords of the country have built up their strength, some in support of the Nidel Dynasty and some with hopes of overthrowing the ruling class and becoming the countries ruler. During this time of isolation the Nidel Dynasty has allowed strong warriors who have no master to call their own to join the Order of Hunters and still support the Order despite the isolation practices.
Culture: Warring States Japan
Capital City: Kanzaki

Kingdom of Anavio

History: Born after the Caudium Rebellion under the banner of the war hero Iskandar Anavio. Iskandar used his reputation and the instability caused by the rebellion to bring together much of the lands freed after the rebellion. With the promises of fair leadership and protection from Caudium and any other invaders the Kingdom of Anavio grew quickly, and it's military was quickly able to back up Iskandar's promises as his own personal fighting style was taught to the troops improving on the training that the Caudium Empire had already implemented. And even after Iskandar's death the Kingdom of Anavio has thrived and strengthened itself to become the single most powerful nation of man in existance.
Culture: Alexander's Greece
Capital City: Tolbiacum

Tribes of Grimsgil

History: A strong and resilient people who refuse to bend knee to any nation or army. The Barbarians who never relinquish their freedom and independence were never truly satisfied under Caudium Rule and were some of the first to rebel against the Empire. And although they remain independent the Tribes have formed a loose government in which a council of elders meet and decide the best course of action for the Tribes as a whole. And although there were some tribes who refused to join the council and stood on their own the majority of the tribes have stood as a single unified nation. And although spread out and small in number the barbarian tribes are fierce fighters revered for their strength.
Culture: Barbarian Tribes
Capital City: Laxa

Theocracy of Hieledran

History: Hieledran sits on the far northern side of the great continent known as Udimond. At first, it began as only a
small island nation of nearly ten thousand people or so, until it had begun to flourish gradually in the early century, suffering a few bloody civil wars and power struggles, leading to a schism of the continent into East and West Hieledran. Twas not until the Church of Rhon, the religious authority of Hieledran, set up a strong and prominent theocracy, appointing the priestess Marion to the title of Holy Queen, that the land was finally unified under one banner. Isolated from the rest of The World, Hieledran grew prosperously without any outside influences or hindrances. Endeavors to weed out the old mysticisms of the land led to intrigues into science and technology, which in turn led to a great surge in the technology and industry of the land. However, despite all this, Hieledran....was cursed by a scourge of hellish creatures, wretched monsters of the undead, vicious, flesh eating horrors that could have only crawled from the darkest pit of that infernal realm. Vampires, werewolves, zombies, wights and wraiths, the scourge of terror soon engulfed Hieledran like a plague, leaving countless dead in its wake. To combat the recent spike in activity of these gruesome fiends, the Church of Rhon called upon the finest men and women of the land, forming them into the Blackguard, an elite clan of warriors in service to Her Holy Majesty to eradicate the lurching evil that had befallen Hieledran. Soldiers of the Blackguard were called Reapers, not just for the skull-like bandanas they wore to keep from breathing in any toxic spores, but also for their task of reaping the souls of the damned and sending them back where they belonged, to burn forever in Hell. With the threats of the Hellspawn growing every day, the Holy Queen has agreed to a conditional truce with the Order sending some of her finest to see if the Order and its Hunters are worthy to step foot on Hieledran.

Culture: Gothic/ Victorian era England with some elements of Steampunk
Capital City: Rhonshire, named for the Rhon the Lifegiver, Hieledran's chief deity. It is also where the Church of Rhon stands.

-=The Order=-

The Order of Hunters was formed over 500 years ago when mankind first came together as a whole to combat the powerful dragon Ragnos. And with the combined efforts of man the beast fell proving that mankind did not have to fear these beasts. Since then the Order has stood against the monsters and beasts that come from the Dead Lands plaguing mankind's existance. And although Mankind's own worst enemy seems to be itself the Order has not stepped in to settle matters between the Human Nations wanting staying neutral and unbiased in the situations. In order to combat the monsters and beasts that roam the Dead Lands the Order is always willing to take any able bodied talent that is willing to sacrifice its life to rid Mankind of these threats.

Order's Insignia

The mark of the hunters the Insignia shows a depiction of the dragon Ragnos whom was the first target of the hunters. It is worn as a reminder of what evils have plagued the land and been defeated in order to show and prove no Monster is invincible.

Fort Raven's Peek

Once a frontier fort of the Caudium Empire, Raven's Peek was built as a first line of defense against the monsters coming from the Dead Lands. But soon after the rebellion started the fort was abandoned as even the Barbarian Tribes of Grimsgil felt the fort was to close to the Dead lands to settle into. But recently the Order came across the ruined fort and saw the use in the old fort. The Order put forth the resources to rebuild the fort in order to use it as a forward base. Now fully restored Raven's Peek serves as the home and base of operations for the 87th division of the Order of Hunters.

With the Order taking up protection of the fort and surrounding area, people of Grimsgil who had no tribe to call their own flocked to the Fort setting up a small community with the fort in its center. The town of Raven's Peek has also become a haven for those who wish to venture out into the Dead Lands for Glory and Treasure, so it's locals make sure the shops are filled with anything and everything one might need to take with them on an adventure.

Impoertant NPCs

Heidrek Starrason - Cook / Ranking Officer
Born to one of the many tribes of Grimsgil, Heidrek was a natural fighter and one of the strongest men of his tribe. But it was a time of piece and although warriors are a valuable asset during war, his skills wouldn't be needed during the current age. So it wasn't surprising when Heidrek went off to join the Order of Hunters. He quickly rose through the Hunter's ranks and became a valuable asset to the Order. Even after Heidrek was severely injured while out on a hunt barely surviving the ordeal Heidrek still had a purpose in the Order. Unable to go out in the field and hunt anymore Heidrek has instead moved to training and building up the hunters taking on the roll of a commander. He now is the Commander of the 87th division of the Order.

Christoth Scaleskin - Blacksmith/Armorer
Not every member of the Order is a warrior and Christoth is a perfect example of this fact. Son of the Caudium Empire's Royal Armorer, Chistoth learned very early in his childhood how to work a forge. And by his mid-teens was producing equipment that the Royal Guard was proud to wear. But Christoth didn't fit into the pampered life of royalty and on his 18th birthday he struck a deal to get him away from it. Chistoth signed up for the Order of Hunters using his skills as a blacksmith to forge weapons and armor for the order while getting out of the Caudium Castle and exploring the world. With the renovations at Raven's Peek being made Chirstoth pulled some strings and made sure a new fully equipped forge would be put in place so he would have a good area to work from. and with the renovations done Chirstoth has taken his place ready to serve the hunters in his own way.

Iris Drakos - Maid/Healer
Iris is the younger sister of Silus. She grew up close to her brother and after he left to join the Anavion Army she tried her best to remain useful. Although she wasn't the natural fighter her brother was there had to be something she could do. That is when her latent gift started to bloom. It turned out that Iris had magical potential, and from that moment on she devoted herself to the magical arts. Again her strong suit wasn't battle so instead she focused on healing spells hoping to one day be able to stay by her brother's side. Then it happened Silus disappeared, it was said that his team had been ambushed and there were no survivors. Instead of breaking down her brother's death only fueled Iris' study into the medical arts. Then years later when Silus returned she swore she wouldn't let him go out on his own so when he joined the Order she followed suit. And although Silus doesn't let her go out on field missions Iris still feels a little more at ease being apart of his team and keeping an eye on him.

-=Magic=-

Yes magic and mages are allowed!

Magic must be channeled through a mystic objects, or be recited spells in most cases (books, staves, ect) (special cases must check with GM and would go with the Other category of cs)

Magic is learned by specific elements (fire, lightning, earth, ect) and must be mastered separately

Mastery levels go as follows Novice (basic understanding) -> Journeyman (able to use practically) -> Expert (able to use a Specialization of that element) -> Master (Know how to use bigger spells of the element) -> Grandmaster (Know just about everything about the element)

I will allow progression during the RP so nothing over Expert at start of rp. Also a mage can have up to 3 "points" in magi skills (basically as long as your starting skills add up or are less then 3 its ok, as in Journeyman in fire and Novice in Earth, or Expert in one type with no training in anything else)

Magic Specializations: As your knowledge of an Element grows certain paths will open up for you. For example those who Study the arts of Nature will be able to take on the properties of animals and become a Shapeshifter or Druid. While those attuned to Darkness could learn the arts of Necromancy or Demonic Summoning.
