The Lands of Lemea

I am here.

First some GMing.
All the character sheets present on the OOC until this post have been accepted, including Mr_pink's.
All of you have at least one character except for Zane which said that he will be joining in.
Currently we have ten character, nine roleplayers, three player created nations, five player created races and a nice amount of OOC posts.

Also as another person in charge of the IC I requested a Co-GM and Tatsua PMied his interest. Since no one else answered the calls Tatsua is now officially the Co-GM in charge of handling the IC with me and all non-setting related things in the OOC, which would mostly be character sheets based on one of the races we already have.

Lucius glad to have you here. Hope we have some nice RPing experience together again.

I also have one thing to ask of all of you (through you don't need to answer if don't want to): "How did you stumble upon and why did you join this RP?"

Bio:

Early Childhood

Aerrea was born in a small village in Solvis, a mountains part of Geworia from which is almost isolated from the rest of the country, so isolated that many of the demons of Everian sought refugee in the mountains of this area. Dotted by small villages and town in river valley, near mountain lakes or the high pastures, it was a peaceful area ans Aerrea lived a simple life for the first four years of her life. But no peace lasts forever in the lands under the Geworian crown and a few weeks before Aerrea's fifth birthday a hunting party discovered the entrance to a mountain hideout of demons. A council was held to decide what to do, but demons did not wish to risk anything and put the whole village to sleep and changed the memories so they would not remember the demon's hideout. Unfortunately one of the villagers, a zealous Mersian, already sent a message to the Geworian Inquisition. Two weeks after this a small military task force, roughly two hundreds in number, came to the village, lead by a Geworian Inquisitor and started to question the villagers about the hideout of the demons. Angered by the lack of answers coming from the villagers whose memories were changed and realizing that the demons were the ones behind this the Inquisitor, in a burst of anger, ordered the troops escorting him to wipe the village off the face of the world. The troops proceeded to do this and only two things saved Aerrea from death, the fact that her father was a retired soldier and knew the searching methods of the military and that their house was the one furthest from the troops. Following her father's orders; to hide in a small pond and use a hallowed reed to breath until the Moon rises. Hours passed in which the soldiers restlessly killed the villagers and then, still many hours from moonrise set all ablaze before heading off to form a patrol zone around the village so no one escapes. As flames engulfed her home, the young Aerrea could only watch and wait. It took almost half of the night for the Moon to come out, allowing Aerrea to do so. What laid in front of Aerrea was a dreadful scene, although fires were still burning away at the few stone buildings in the village the, all made out of wood was now chars except for the largest and thickest beams and all over the village, where they fell, were bodies of dozens and dozens of villagers, including Aerrea's parents. Before the few other survivors, a priest hiding in an apparently sealed sarcophagus, a few children and adults from hoses which had hiding places left from more turbulent eras and a old knight which managed do blockade himself in the small stone tower of the village, a demon, which was sent to investigate the bright light coming from the settlement, noticed her, and feeling pity for Aerrea, which was crying tears over her dead parent's bodies, took the small child in his hands and disappeared in the darkness of the night.

In Fharis

The demon, named Zeharr, which saved Aerrea was no other than the sword master of Fharis, the local demon hideout, which was once a dwarven mine although it was extend by demons trough many years. He presented her to the local demon leader, Yurras, which trough concerned, allowed the child to stay in Fharis. From then Zeharr and his lover at that time, Verrka, raised Aerrea together, teaching her the knowledge, stories and ways of their kind as well as of humanity, at least which the ones they knew about. In such a way two years passed when the two demons deduced that Aerrea was ready to start basic training in arms. Under her foster-father Zeharr, she trained her body and begun learning the basics of using a sword. Three years later she begun slowly learning more advanced techniques, but she wished to reach the maximal what could her body reach and started learning the secret ways of Shadow-Walking which using mixture of acrobatics, sneaking and multiple techniques to evade detection, fool enemies and strike from where the enemy expects it. When she was seventeen she suffered a injury and was forced to case all heavier exercise from some time, but not being a person which can do nothing for long she found a female Night Elf, one of the rares races that one can meet, resting in one of the forgotten and long-abandoned dwarven mining storage, and after many tries finally managed to get the elf to teach her something, and this was the Night Elven Moon Dance, a form of magical channeling which allowed even those with no magical capability to make use of the Moonlight to aid oneself with magic. The last day of her recovery and training with the elf she found the cave empty except for a single earring in the shape of the Crescent Moon, one from the pair that until then hanged from the elf's ears.

Meeting Naikawa

The next day the final stage of Aerrea's training begun as well as deciding what to do whit her life from now on, the demons were allowing her to leave Fharis, is she wished so, when she turned eighteen. During the time she was given to think about it she meet a rare kind of demon, a cloth(ing) demon, haling from Mugen Okoku, and befriended him. The demon, named Naikawa, was extremely knowledgeable about many things, as well as one of the many demons which worked for Yaes Numir Seyur as information gatherers, he took her interest by a proposition that he made - that she, under him, becomes an apprentice information gatherer, before going on to become a full fledged one under the flag of Yaes Numir Seyur. She accepted this and after turning 18 she and Naikawa went to travel the whole Everan, gathering information, experiencing adventurers and living on the road, all while Naikawa though her the secrets of the trade as well as many other things.

The city of Laggara

Finally, three years later, on a cold day in December, Naikawa said that they will traveling to Ainyas to finish to make her an official informer of Yaes Numir Seyur. After a long trip, which included riding one of the last dragons, the two arrived at the unofficial capital of Yaes Numir Seyur, the city of Laggara. There while Naikawa took care of the paperwork Aerrea was left to wonder the city and in one of the long forgotten parts of the city found a single sword which bewitched her to take it in her arms. She slowly gripped the handle and was startled when the sword spoke up, trough it soon cleared the situation. The sword was Immes, at least that was the oldest name it carried, and it was a powerful demon which chose to take the form of a sword while resting and waited for someone who cloud wake him up. After he finished explaining Immes changed his appearance to a young human's and then accompanied Aerrea all around the city, showing her the wonders of it, many of which Immes helped build. The two felt a attraction to each other, trough not one of love, but deep friendship and decided to travel together, trough Immes said that he was an old demon already so he would need to stay a sword most of the time to conserve energy. When the sun set, in the inn in which they were staying in, Aerrea introduces Immes to Naikawa, while Naikawa informed that all but a single thing, requiring her signature, were left and that they would take care of this the next morning. Aerrea and the two demons did this formality first thing after breakfast, but before leaving, on Immes' suggestion, they visited a small shrine that Immes said had the best and most accurate advices that he knew. They did so and Aerrea was told to head alone into the Great Forest, a part of western Ainyas which was covered under a enormous and dense forest dangerous even to demons.

Mystery of the Great Forest

Trough skeptical she was raised to give at least some regard to such omens and left to the GreatForest, asking Naikawa and Immes to wait half a year before giving up on her returning back. The trip itself and the events which happened on it are shrouded in mystery and Aerrea rarely start talking about it and if she does until now always ended the story after the point in which she entered the forest. What is know is what the experts in Laggare established, somehow, Aerrea had all the traits of being a demon but without any trace of being one, except when she was subjected to a directed flow of demonic magic which was also followed with her going berserk, just like a real demon would if his body was overloaded with demonic magic. After being under observation for some time she was given the "all green" to start her service as a informant of Yaes Numir Seyur she begun to traveling together with Naikawa and Immes.

Years have passed and the rumors of the Well of Wishes reached Yaes Numir Seyur and they decided to send their closes information gatherer, which was Aerrea & gang to Lemea to learn if the rumors are true or not.

Personality:
Aerrea is a person able to put any kind of front need for gathering information. Her real personality is one which wishes to always be doing something, even just studying something incredibly boring (like maths) and is incredibly open towards strangers which she thinks are trustworthy. Has quite a thing for cute things, especially people. Her being brought up with both human and demon customs, made her much more open to "bedroom stuff" that other humans would, trough she knows, unlike demons, where/when is the right place/time for such things.
Naikawa is a talkative demon which is ready to chatter almost about anything except ravens (for some reason).
Immes is a stern, serious grandfather-like demon which rarely speaks but his words usually carry good advices.

Combat Skills:
Swordsmanship of advanced levels, for the needs of one information she won the title of sword champion of Sorka.
Shadow-Walking, a skill similar to Ninjitsu joined with some basic shadow & light manipulation magic for greater effect.
Moon Dance, a multipurpose Celestial magic based on Moonlight.
A physique of a demon which is quite better then a human's.

Adventuring & Survival Skills:
Pretty much an average to above average knowledge of all skills a eternal traveler needs, from bartering to fishing.

Other Skills:
Information gathering of many kinds.

Reason for traveling: Says that she wants to add "Reaching the Well of Wishes" to her adventuring achievements. Actually on a mission for the Yaes Numir Seyur.
Other: Carries all sorts of equipment for her needs, from a hunting bow to a shovel. Wears Naikawa as her outfit (over her undergarments), which can change into any desired clothing and color pattern.

The Lands of Lemea

I see, well tone it down, twice or trice the human learning speed would be enough.

Wait, there is one way for him and the country to be here! I could put the continent (quite) south of Talga, with a mountain range in the northern part of the continent isolating it even more. But that means that your character would need be to be someone capable of navigating a ship or part of a expedition to Talga islands and then to some more civilized place, for example a Alagorian trade port in Loraya. Does this work for you?

The Lands of Lemea

The problem is that I already layered out the largest landmasses and water-masses of the world and laid out the large countries. I was not planning on adding anymore large countries, rather I was planing for most off you to use one of the countries that I put or make a smaller/magical dislocated(*pointing to Tatsua*) countries from where your character would come from.

I need to keep an adequate land to surface water ration as well as the water ways of the world open. I just can't go on and add another continent just for your need even if it could be put somewhere. Note that Loweran and Everan take roughly the area of Earth's Europe, Asia and Africa. West from Everan and east from Loweran spreads the oceans which divides Ainyas and Lemea from the rest of the world. South of Loweran is ether open ocean or the islands of Loraya which then connect to the Talga Islands. So on this Earth-sized planet where would you put a whole continent when all you need is a single country?

Like I said the best bet for you county, if you wish for it to be large, to be in northern Erevan otherwise it could never be a large country. It would also make a nice counter-balance to the next to unopposed Geworia.

As for that CS it OK considering it is a Faerie after all. Trough just one thing

Prodigal Learning, a skill possessed by all Fairies which allows them to learn virtually any skill with ten times the haste and mastery of an ordinary human. This includes things such as conversation skills or speech habits, but doesn't include things the Fairy isn't interested in.

This is unneeded and really unfair towards ordinary humans which must really on skills and technology to overcome their low magical capabilities. Also there is little sense that a next to eternal existence would need to learn something so freaking quickly. Normal human speed would be more then enough since they probably outlive humans by quite a number of times allowing to learn any skill better then any human, as long as they wish so and invest time which they have in a next to infinite amount right?

The Lands of Lemea

Nice! Accepted!

With this we have 4 characters what I consider the minimal amount needed to start a RP. I will still give time for the rest of you to fix, edit and post stuff! I will soon make my own character. Expect the IC to start inside a days time, except if a few of you need more time to finish their sheets.

Also if anyone wants to Co-GM it would help run the RP when I am not around by taking care of IC stuff (due to the idea being mine it would be hard for someone to handle new sheets and a large part of the needed OOC stuff). If anyone is interested and had past GMing exeprience or just wants to try it out, then PM me.

Sanctuary

I fight back!

1. My CS and Sample are definetly readable now.
2. I showed my CS and Sample to Kaga (Kagamine) one of the people which were in charge of the Writter of the Month OFFICIAL CONTEST on the Old Guild which said that it showed a great level of grammar accuracy and dedication to making the post. I hold her oppinion twice more important then yours since she was one of the most influental people on the Old Guild and one of the rare people which I trust about grammar stuff.
3. I read at least one of your IC posts and glanced at a few other ones which you and the other made and I think my Sample and CS are at least incredibly close to that grammar level if not at the same.
4. My style of writting is based around long, multiple sentances linked together. Yes, this is a hard thing to do, but in the long run and with good linking it becomes a beautiful writting style which creates, at least by my opionion, a feeling like you are reading a novel not a post. If you want don't like this then do what you told me to do.
5. If you wish to drag this stuff feel free, but when it comes to argumenting my stand I was one of the best, if not the best, in my school. You have been warned.

Extra - If you need a show how good and dedicted my post can be take a look at my new RP. (LINK is here:http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/16966/posts/ooc)The first OOC post explaining the setting is clear, intresting and allows the roleplayers to be creative. I was also willing to spend a whole day working on it and the map to make the experience of roleplaying on such a RP nicer and smoother.
