Sounds awesome. I do have questions regarding the abilities of the mage and their creatures, though. Would there be a sort of 'evolution' to our creatures? Or somehow enhancing them through 'support' cards? Would love to know more about the magic system in general. :)

The morning heat was prevalent on the main roads, a nuisance that only made walking along the dusty, uneven path that much more uncomfortable. But to the lean, sandy-haired Knight that strode along the edges of the path to make room for the various carts of merchantmen and diplomats that came to and fro, it was but a refreshing, brisk walk of relaxation. Adolin Sinnet had been on the main road for about two-and-a-half days now ; before that, he had spent several months venturing through scraggly mountain passes and abandoned villages plagued with various beasts of darkness as he tended to business directed by the Order. A little heat is nothing compared to what he had already endured, so Adolin continued his cheerful pace, a small smile hidden by the slight shadow of his traveler's hood.
Within the hour, the Knight had finally made it to the grand gates of the Capitol, finding it to be completely packed with horses, carts, and people alike. Li Lian Beastmen could be seen interacting with Silvercliff merchants as they waited their turn to be approved into the city, and one could also spot out several robed strangers bearing the marks of Al Zidoan diplomats through the dense crowd. The Knight took his time as he politely pushed his way through the masses, though he had no trouble of doing so when the people around him recognize the insignia displayed on his polished arm band. One should know better than to hinder an Arcane Knight's way. Still, Adolin smiled genuinely at those who greeted him, giving small waves here and there as he reached the captain of the guard who stood stern and fierce while overseeing the entry process.
When the man saw Adolin approaching, a light of recognition flared within his hawk-like eyes. Turning a stoic face to the men manning the huge gates, he immediately barked an order for them to be open. As the monstrous machinery groaned to life, the captain turned back to Adolin and stepped forward with a salute.
"Sir! Glad to see you back and out of harm's way. The citizens of Silvercliff thank you for yours and the Order's service of keeping the populace safe."
Adolin grinned as he reached up and pulled down his traveler's hood, revealing his tanned, angular face. "Awh, c'mon now. No need for that. I'm just doing my job, as you are doing yours."
The captain nodded in response, his face still not showing any emotion even to the compliment. Adolin tried his hardest not to chuckle. Thankfully, the guard still had more to say. "Sir, a courier of the Arcane Knights came not too long ago. He came to instruct me to direct any of those within the Order coming back into the city, to meet up at war room for an obligatory meeting. He is the copy of the summons."
Intrigued, Adolin tilted his head as he grabbed the letter and read it to himself. The Knight perked his eyebrows, giving an amused whistle. "Well, this is surprising. There's no break for me, huh?" Adolin folded the parchment, tucking it between his belt as he saluted the captain. "Thank you for informing me, Captain. I shall be on my way then - keep up the good work."
Both men nodded respectfully at each other before Adolin made his way through the opened, grand gates of the Capitol.
So far, coming back home from his travels has proved to be more exciting than any of his journeys.

Heads up!
Heading to work, so I won't have time to suggest any ideas for the two at the moment, but if you want to give me a PM of how'd you like our characters to interact, please do! :D
Excited for the IC as well. :)
<Snipped quote by tatszico>
That´s good, similar to my ideas. Lets say you guys know eachothers names and basics already as initiates/knight brothers of the order even if you´ve never really conversed before. You could be out on business or general monster hunting when an simply penned letter from Edward arrives by courier(I´ll start my IC with the writing of it) You could also as you said, meet up on the road (confirm with others before making surprise entrances on someone.)
For now lets wait for all accepted group to finish their CS before we start.
Perfect. I was about to ask about the relations between our characters too, so that answers that! And great, sounds like a solid start. I was planning to have my character coming back to Silvercliff from a dutiful journey anyway, so that will make it easier.
Also, as we're waiting for the rest of the CS to be submitted, let me know if you guys want a specific relationship with my character, Adolin! I think it'd be cool to establish some background between some of us. :) Just give me a heads up here, or thru PM!

Im always up for player given ideas
Well, after reading your CS's, it seems like the arrival of Hastuk is important to the OAKs, or specifically, to Edward. Not sure what you have planned for the two, but maybe the Grand Master is calling the Knights back home for the same reason why Hastuk came to the Capitol? :p That way it gives us a chance to interact with each other as we make our way back to Silvercliff.
That being said, All CS looks good to me, I believe we can start penning up some IC fellows!
Got an idea of where we should start, or where you want us to start? :) Or are we free-forming this for now?
I should probably say this now, but you're quickly going to end up with too many characters if this pace keeps up.
I'm sure once the IC starts going, we'll be whittled down a bit to a more comfortable number. :) With that said, just posted my CS.
Name: Adolin Sinnet
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Age: 25
Title/Nickname: Sir Sinnet ; Knight Sinnet ; The Radiant.
Kingdom of birth: Silvercliff.
Worship: N/A
Magical affinity: Sun and Stone
Skills:
As a man, Adolin is quite graceful with his tongue and can be charismatic or intimidating. He's naturally fit and lean, having the body of fighter. Though not considered as a scholar by any means, he is still quite logical and is a quick-thinker.
As a seasoned adventurer, Adolin has acquired quite a variety of skills that allows him to sustain for long periods of time in the wild. He's adept at hunting and gathering, knowing where to find beneficial herbs and how to locate sources of fresh water. He's quite disciplined due to having experienced true hunger and thirst during many of his travels, allowing him to have an increased physical endurance as he learned how to manage with low resources. He's mediocre at medicine, knowing only the basics of first aid and the simplest of antidotes and rely mostly on using his Sun affinity to heal minor wounds - he knows just enough for him to get by to the next city if he were caught in a dire situation.
As an Arcane Knight, Adolin is an experienced fighter and caster. To put it simply, he's fluid with the sword and shield, as well as being adept with most weapons and hand-to-hand combat, which allows him to be versatile and adaptive to any fighting scenarios. These are the skills that truly made him into a successful adventurer, as he had gone into the depths of the hellish unknown and somehow found his way back.
Equipment:
Adolin is garbed in a light, traveler's armor that consists of highly-durable leather and cotton, and is then accentuated with steel guards located on his sword-bearing shoulder, elbows, and knees. His armor is custom made, having hidden pockets and sewn-in pouches, as well as having a traveler's hood. He also carries around a small traveler's pack that contains the essentials for his journey, ranging from medicine to seasonings, to a firestarter kit. His signature weapon is his curved, combat sword in his left hand, and a light-weight steel shield on his right - both have been tempered to be utilized with magics.
Favorite spells:
His primary affinity of the Sun allows Adolin to super-heat his blade, creating a deadly weapon that will cut metal, like parchment. His shield, on the other hand, is tempered to hold the charges of the affinity, which then in turn is able to release it as a burst of light that can stun his enemies. In combat, his magic makes it seem like he is wielding the rays of the sun itself, thus had been given the nickname of Radiant.
With his secondary and weaker affinity of the Stone, it enhances him more passively by gaining him short bursts of strength and defense during combat, and allows him to manipulate small stones as projectiles, or cause very small quakes to disrupt his enemy.
Character backround history:
Nothing special could be sead about Adolin Sinnet ; in fact, his upbringing could be compared to any ordinary middle-class citizen living within Silvercliff. He is the son to Gavin and Erma Sinnet, a small-time blacksmith and a kind tailor respectively. They had lived in a small agricultural village that was on the outskirts of the Kingdom of Silvercliff, where the boy spend his childhood years growing up with a playful and rebellious streak. Though he never meant any harm and loved the villagers just as he would his own family, Adolin had become quite an infamous troublemaker and prankster as child.
He did not know it for a long time, but the reason for his recklessness was the cause of his boredom - in truth, he did not want to pick up the forge like his father wanted, or the sickle like his peers did. No, what he sought after was excitement. He wanted to see the world, to feel the thrill that he knew would change his life forever. So when the yearly recruitment of the Order of the Arcane Knights rode through his village on his thirteenth birthday, he bid his friends and family a heartfelt farewell before venturing into the Capitol, where the story of a particular and formidable Arcane Knight began.

Will be creating a CS soon, if this is still open! :)
Also a tentative interest - I'm enjoying the creativity behind the magic system, as it allows each hundreds of possibilities for characters. I'm going to have so much fun trying to create my ideal OC. :)
