Markiel Sviatolev

---

So far, Markiel has been having a good time at Ealdormuda. He had arrived earlier in the day and had some time to explore the city before nightfall. The city was like what he had heard, and he was glad of that. Plenty to see and do in the capital of the Eahamingas, and Markiel spent most of the day seeing the sights of the city. Taking the land of a new place as he walked the streets and gazed at the buildings and landmarks.

Now Markiel had found himself near the harbor, and seeing how it was nightfall. He figured a trip to a tavern would be his next stop. So after looking for a bit, Markiel found one nearby and went inside. Taking a drink and choosing to sit down at a semi-filled table.

He was thinking about his next move as he sipped his drink when he noticed a group forming near him. When he heard about what sounded like a vault and he was interested. So he listened more, and he became more interested. So, a group of people want to explore a long-lost Turakindian vault by the sounds of it. He thought as his mind pondered the idea. He knows some about the Turakindi from his travels, nothing his father would care to teach him about. But, for someplace that old, and sounding forgotten. There can be relics or something of value inside.

Perhaps this is his next adventure, he thought as more people joined the group. Markiel came to this city to see what his next adventure would be, and it seems like he discovered it. He had a big smile on his face and time to see if this group would let him join them or not.

So as he took a final sip from his drink, and after seeing a female Sylpharim quickly rush in and seemly join the ranks of the growing party. Markiel stood up and walked over to the group and introduced himself to them.

"Hello there, and I could not help but overhear what plan you all had, and I would like to join." He had a friendly tone to his voice. "My name is Markiel, and I am a good fighter if you need another blade for your party." Which is all he can offer, unfortunately, but time to see how the leader of this group's leader feels about him.

STARFINDER ~ Rogue Voyage

Rif Korenvel

Rif did not know how the others felt about their first mission, as he double-checked his gear. A nervous habit of his, and while he did not expect this, it would be their first mission. Then again, who would think that a new crew's first mission is to recover a package on a dead ship on which something bad has transpired there. Only five were alive on board, and Rif could not help but feel nervous since this was beyond his training and what he was used to.

But this is his mission, and he is not one to chicken out despite the situation. Rif only wished that things were different, but things were beyond his control, like most things in his life.

After checking his gear and making sure his weapons were loaded and ready to go. Rif took a moment to look around at his teammates. He knew little about them and hoped to learn more organically by talking to them, rather than by looking up their records. Though Rif could tell that one of them was a bit nervous. Zaeli, he thinks her name is, and he cannot blame her for feeling that. At least he is not alone in feeling nervous, and Rif felt a bit better because of that. It made him feel human, and that is a feeling he always wants to feel.

So, after noticing that no one was preparing to use the prybar and open the airlock. Seeing how he was ready, having his gear and then some, all checked and ready to go. From his medical supplies, armor, flashlights, and what else he felt would be needed. Rif was golden ready, and since no one else seemed to be going to open the airlock. Rif figured he could, and give his cybernetic arms something to do.

Thus, after grabbing a crowbar and getting into position. Rif used his strength and used the crowbar to get the airlock opened. Putting the cowbar in the middle of the airlock where the doors connect and starting going to work. After some moments of trying to get the thing open. It would eventually open, and Rif was greeted by darkness on the other side.

Rif turned on his flashlight and put away the crowbar just in case they might need it again. He turned his head to the others and said, "into the breach, as some might say." Rif then waited for the others to move and start this mission in earnest. He might be ready, but it is time to see if all of them are ready for what lies inside the Prudent.

Leo and Sofia were in the middle of talking ot each other when Veronica approached them, and Sofia, with a happy smile, responded to Veronica. "Hey Veronica, and it is okay." Sofia sounded a bit annoyed. "Just next time, say something before you go and disappear in the darkness." Sofia's tone shifted back to a happier tone. "Otherwise, I am glad to see you."

Then came Leo's chance to talk, "Hello, Veronica." Leo giving her a small wave and a small smile. "I am Leo, and yeah, I am new here. I came here yesterday with the rest of the new arrivals, and I guess I missed you at the party last night." Leo missed much at the party last night and most people, but he at least met with some. "But about the training," Leo turned his gaze to the obstacle course for a moment before looking back at Veronica. "I am sure I will be fine, but yeah, it will not be an easy course for some."

Sofia is taking this moment to bump in. "That some may be me, Leo, since I have never done an obstacle course before and this one looks.... tough." She said while sounding a bit nervous.

"Do not sweat, Sofia, it looks tough, but it can be overcome. I just wonder how the people with hangovers will do." That ought to be a sight to see, he thought.

"If you say so, Leo, and thanks for the vote of confidence." Sofia needed that, and seeing how she did not drink last night. It might be funny to see the hangover people try to do an obstacle course like this one. She is not going to envy anyone who can and from Leo's physique. If anyone can, it would be him.

"So...." Sofia started, "Anyone here know anything about our new leader, River?" Sofia then scanned the arena for the people who had arrived so far. "Since if the first day of training is this obstacle course, I wonder how the rest of life here will go." Along with wanting a face to go with the name, she thought.

"Unfortunately, Sofia, I only know what you know, I think." Leo thought back to last night just to be sure, and other than that silent guy at the bonfire. His memories did not help him in that regard. "Yeah, only the announcement, this is what I know about the guy and nothing else." Then he had a thought and turned his gaze to Veronica, "you have been here longer than me and Sofia. Do you have any idea why camp is getting a new leader in the first place?"

Aviean Exodus

The world of Aviea is dying, and there is no hope for a cure. Poisoned by the ambitious elf mage Voron Vamenor who wished to control the world. Delving into forbidden magic and through research, he found a way he could become a god. However, a group called the Vigil was formed to stop Voron from accomplishing his goals and was able to stop his plans. Voron managed to barely escape and seeing how he could no longer become a god and control the world. He decided that if he can't have the world, then no one will and enacted a new plan. Using what he had learned, he devised a way to end the world and kill everyone on it. The Vigil was able to learn of Voron's new plans and acted to stop him. Meeting at a forgotten shrine on the island of Weydare as Voron was preparing the ritual to end the world. A fight broke out, and while they were fighting, Voron managed to start the ritual, and a burst of unknown energy burst out of a portal and into the earth. The battle was fierce, but the Vigil was able to kill Voron. Volon died with a smile on his face, and the Vigil, after some time, was able to stop the ritual. The Vigil thought by closing the portal that they had saved the world, but it was already too late.

Hours after the closing of the ritual, the sky across the world darkened, and violent storms appeared across the globe. Then came massive earthquakes that caused devastation to the people of Aviea. Finally, after that and the dust settled, came the Rot. Starting from Weydare, a blackish-purple substance spread throughout the world. Killing any plant life that came into contact with it and poisoned any water it touched. Along with it came a plague that spreads fast. Killing millions before proper containment was established. Healers were unable to find a cure for the plague, and the Rot was spreading at an alarming rate. For Voron did not wish for a sudden death for the world but a slow one caused by a festering wound, for there would be no cure.

Three years later, the Rot had made most of Aviea unhabitable, and there was no way to stop or reverse the Rot. The survivors had decided to work together and formed a new government called the Aviean Coalition. Under the Coalition's watch, many solutions were thought up as a way to survive. Nothing proved to be a permanent solution, and as the people started to give up hope, an idea was brought up. A human scholar by the name of Garth Redwood, after researching ancient texts. He believed that with enough resources that he could create and maintain a portal to another world. People were skeptical about this idea, but after reviewing the ancient texts. There was a possibility that it could work, and without a better idea of how to save everyone. The Coalition focused all resources on building this portal, and within three months, a working portal was created. When it was completed, a test was done to see if the portal worked. A couple of brave volunteers walked through the portal to the other side. After ten minutes, the volunteers came back and reported a fertile river valley on the other side. The portal had worked, and a lush world was waiting for them on the other side.

The Coalition immediately ordered teams and supplies to be sent over to establish a base camp and a working portal on the other side. Once news of the new world came out, thousands wanted to settle the new world. The Coalition did not wish to send settlers until more information could be gathered about this New World, but relented after a safe spot for a settlement was found. Too much was on the line if the world proved to be dangerous and settlers died. So the Coalition created the Pathfinders, a group dedicated to exploring, cataloging, and identifying threats of this new world. Made up of volunteers and led by an Elf ranger Ryul Miraven. The Pathfinders start their first trek into the New World and hopefully are able to deal with any trouble that lives in this new world.

Overview

Welcome to the New World, recruit, which the New World now called Ehiri. As you can tell, this RP is about exploring a new world as part of a volunteer recon force named the Pathfinders. Which your characters will be apart of as they see what this new world has to offer. Both the good and the bad. Which players will have the opportunity to handle how the Pathfinders affect Ehiri and how they face any possible allies or foes that the Pathfinders might face. It is a whole new, unexplored world, after all.

As for races, I am going to be lenient. As in, you can play as one of the standard fantasy races. Like elves and their variants, orcs, dwarves, races like that. Nothing exotic or rare or too out there. If you really want to play a certain race, just ask me, and we will see if it can work. About magic, I am going to be lenient with it. Just no magic too strong or anything op, and it should be fine. As for the tech level of the Avieans. The tech level is medieval.

If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask me.

Races

Humans

Humans: The most numerous and widespread race of Aviea, and the most divided. Averaging around 5'8 in height and being diverse in appearance. Humans are known for their resourcefulness and their independent nature. Along with their drive, that makes them a race that should not be underestimated even if divided into many nations. It was not easy for humanity to unite with the threat of the Rot. But, once it was known that the Rot would certainly spell doom for the planet. Humanity put aside their differences and was the first to suggest the formation of the Aviean Coalition. Since then, the humans are driven to settled Ehiri and build a new home for them in this new world. Humanity is represented by Talon Embermore on Aviean Coalition Council.

Elves

Elves: Just slighter taller than humans and generally thinner in build than humans. The elves of Aviea are considered to be the most agile of the races. Also, the most magically gifted and many mages are elves. A small portion of the elven population chooses to honor and uphold the old ways of the elves before they started to build cities. Before they started to live apart from nature and they call themselves the Dalish. Choosing to live within nature and often give themselves tattoos. These Dalish elves are considered to be among the best archers in the world and several have joined the Pathfinders to lend their skills as hunters and rangers to exploring Ehiri. Even though the two groups had strained relations in the past. With the formation of the Coalition, the two have put their old troubles aside and have united with the female Tanelia Wynyarus representing them on the Aviean Coalition Council.

Dwarves

Dwarves: The shortest of the races and the most industrious. The dwarfs are considered some of the best blacksmiths in the world. Only the Kossith coming to their skill and quality. Also, they are known explorers and were the first race to travel and map out the world. Being the most spread out race and having a presence on every continent as a result. Having an adventurous spirit and many of the Pathfinders' members are dwarfs who are ready to explore their new home. Confident that can overcome any troubles that await him with dwarven steel and iron. The Dwarfs are represented by the male Kiroul Ferivam on the Aviean Coalition Council.

Dragonborn

Dragonborn: The children of dragons, the Dragonborn are the last traces of the dragons' legacy. For long ago, dragonkind for an unknown reason dragons was dying out and with no real way of saving their race. The remaining dragons came together and used their magic to create their successors, the Dragonborn. Standing at an average of 6'3 and coming in many colors. Retaining their forebear's ability to breathe fire but not the ability to fly. The Dragonborn, despite being the youngest of the races. They have established themselves with the other races as a peaceful but battle-ready race. This having been proved during their wars with the Kossith which they successfully defended themselves from being conquered by them. The Dragonborn is represented by male Nyeciar Wubroth on Aviean Coalition Council.

Kossith

Kossith: About slightly taller than Dragonborns and having metallic skin colors. The Kossith are a people whose origin is lost to them and with the coming of the Rot and the evacuation to Ehiri. They will probably never know for sure. Being both scholarly and warrior race. The Kossith or at least the Kossith government has tried to conquer its neighbors over the centuries. Particularly with the Dragonborn who have resisted their attempts to conquer them. Still, despite their warring ways, the Kossith have shown that they are willing to work well with others under the Aviean Coalition's banner. Even with those that they tried to conquer though there are some lingering feelings about that remain. The Kossith are represented by the female Seraan Nazek on the Aviean Coalition Council.

Leo had a good night's sleep in thanks to only staying up until midnight. Plus, the fact that his bed was comfortable. Due to his routine, Leo woke up a 6:00 AM, something that even after moving to a new country and a new time zone. His internal clock still works accurately, to his surprise, as he slowly woke up and looked at his alarm clock. "Six ay," he smirked. "Good thing I can still wake up on time." He said to himself, sounding pleased. He sighed in relief and got out of bed to start his day at camp.

Leo did not know when training will start, but until he finds out when. He plans on taking things his speed, but it does not mean he will waste time. So the first thing he did was take a quick shower. After that and drying off and picking his clothes for the day. Which he went for some workout clothes he found in the closet. It almost made him think about what his new full closet does not have. Leo went downstairs to get himself some food.

Now, Leo did not know what to expect food wise since he did not explore the kitchen properly. But to his relief, there was food and food he liked. Since he was not picky that morning, he decided to go with some waffles and bacon. Which the waffles took a bit to make, and the bacon had to be cooked. But when all was said and done. Leo had himself a nice breakfast, and once he finished, and put things away. He grabbed a glass of lemon water and ventured outside with it in hand.

As he opened his cabin door, the cold air greeted him as he took a step outside. It was cold, as it should be in the winter. Something he liked and did not mind. He took a sip from his cup and spent a minute gazing at the snowy landscape. Meditation is going to suck in this snow, he thought as he took another sip of lemon water. Back home, snow was not a thing, the cold was, but not snow. So finding a good place outside to meditate is not going to be an easy one. He would rather not do it inside and because of the cold. It would have to be brief.

Leo sighed at the thought, and as he went back inside, and started looking for some winter clothing. Did he hear a voice on the speakers and listen to it. So River is the new leader of the camp, and Leo started to think about whether he saw him last night. The voice is not familiar, so who knows. Either way, he has an hour before training starts since he has done most of the things on his checklist. Leo opted to simply stay at his cabin and wait until it was close to 8:00 before heading to the Arena.

When it was finally time, after resting and getting to really know his cabin, he ventured to the Arena, and as soon as he got there. Did Leo notice how warm it was, and he was not alone. So other campers had beaten him to the Arena, and he could recognize some, like Andy, who was lying down on the benches. So after finding a spot to sit down and taking off his winter attire. Laying it down next to him. Leo sat there on one of the benches, a good distance from everyone, waiting for the training to begin.

Sofia had a good night's sleep, thanks to her comfortable bed. She slept like a baby until a voice came on the speakers. She took a deep breath as she woke up and simply wished she could spend more time in bed. "Of course it has to be in an hour." She was annoyed that she did not have more time to get ready. So Sofia sighed as she got out of bed and went to get ready.

Sofia did a rushed version of her normal routine. Which she ended up skipping the shower part. Getting clothes, she picked out, workout clothes and some winter clothes to wear on top. Since she would rather not freeze during what training exercises River had in mind and it is nice to know who is leading them now. If only she could have a face to match his name and voice to. Regardless, Sofia went downstairs to get some breakfast and opted to eat some cereal and a muffin. This was a light breakfast for her, and Sofia figured if she was hungry later, then she could just eat when training is over.

When she was done and cleaned up, Sofia saw that she still had time, and with everything ready and done. She went outside and walked to the Arena. Which she wondered how she will do. While she did have a better build than some, she was not that strong when compared to those who work out regularly. Hopefully, it will not be bad and she will do fine. Though that is an if, and who knows what River wants to do. Sofia sighed at the thought, as he got closer to the Arena, well, time to find out, she thought as he arrived with time to spare.

Sofia was glad she showed up with time to share as she looked at who was there. Some she knew, like Heath, who was talking to someone, whom Sofia wondered if he would have time today to make her those shortbread cookies they talked about last night. Those cookies would be a boost to her, but she will have to wait until later for that. Which, after scanning the Arena and realizing that it was rather warm like last night. She took her winter clothes off and holding them in her arms. Sofia found a certain redhead alone on the benches and sought to correct that. More so since she has some news for him, and she wanted to see how his night was.

Coming in with a small wave and a small smile, she spoke to him. "Hey, Leo, and good morning."

Leo replied back in kind with a smile, "Good morning Sofia and happy New Year."

"Happy New Year to you too," she sat down next to him and laid down her winter clothes. "How was your party last night?"

"I had a fine time last night, meeting people and whatnot. What about you? How was your night?"

"I had a good time, hung out with some people, and did stuff."

"That is good, and how are you feeling about training?" Leo briefly looked around, "I will be fine with it being an obstacle course, but I am not sure about the others."

"I think I will be fine," the uncertianess in her voice was clear. Sofia sighed, "But, it is something I have to do, so here I am." Saying it with some energy.

"That is a nice attitude to have, and I am sure you will do fine."

"If you say so, Leo, and thanks for the vote of confidence." She gave him a thumbs up, and the two would stay there until training starts. Or unless someone approaches the two.

"True," Leo has to agree and nodded his head. While the father may not be there when a child is born. A mother would always have be there at the start.

"That is good to hear Pallas," Leo having a small smile on his face. "And I guess that is true as well." So he knows one person who likes their godly parent and has a decent relationship with them. Something Leo does not have.

Now is Leo jealous of Pallas because of this? No, he is not. Leo is not a person to get jealous and while his relationship with Ares is a negative one. This does not mean his cannot see the good thing of a demi-god having a good relationship with their godly parent. Though Leo wondered how many among the camp is like Pallas here. He knows Duke never met Hephaestus and it seems to him that the gods have their own way of dealing with their demigod children.

Which made him think of Ares treats his other demigod children. Leo knows he has a half sister, Trinity, and he should try to meet and talk with her at some point. Maybe after training but, that is something for later. Though he is looking foward to meeting her.

Then as Leo was about to as Pallas something else, the man spoke first and departed. "Okay, see you later and good night." Leo replied and watched as the Pallas walked off. Taking a sip of his water and he did not try to talk to the other person nearby. That would wait until later and as Leo got up thoguht about what to do now. Fireworks exploded in the night sky. "Uh, fireworks," he said calmly as he watched the spectacle.

That means it is midnight and Leo said softly to himself, "Happy New Year." He chuckled to himself, normally he would be with friends or family right now and here he is. Practically by himself and watching fireworks without anyone really to celebreate with. It was a sad thought but, and tried not to think this was some kind of a omen of his life at camp. He had a nice first day and with this new leader. Things are uncertain for him and though he is sure he will do fine with training. He is alreay fit and used to working out and training. So that should be a breeze but he will take notice if it is a too intense since he dobuts everyone has the physique he does. Since he knows what working out too hard can do to a person.

Either way once the fireworks were over and it was midnight. Leo decdied that he had enough of the party and after depositing his water in a trash can. He went to his cabin to sleep. Today was a nice but, he has no idea what the rest of camp life be like. So here to getting some rest before his new life here officaly starts. Hopfully it will not be bad and he can enjoy life at camp. But who knows and time to sleep and find out once his new life starts up in earnest.

"Sounds like a plan Heath," she gave him a thumbs up. She wondered how his cookies tasted, proably good considering he is sharing them with all of them. Which reminded Sofia on how her mother would sometimes bake food for them. They were good and her mother even tried to teach her how to cook. It was mixed results but, at least she knows how not to bake something.

Then as she was about to take a sip of her drink. Fireworks erupted in the sky and her quickly turned her head upward towards the sky. "Nice fireworks!" Sofia exclaimed as she watched the fireworks. A good start to the New Year in her opinion. A party and fireworks. And no one is flat out drunk as far as she can see and pass out on the floor.

Turning her head back to Heath, "Happy New Year Heath." Then adding more since Heath was not the only one with her. "Happy New Year Veronica," She said with a smile.

Midnight already, she thought and well she had a fun time. Did some sheding, ice skating, talking and meeting new people. Not a bad first day at camp, a good one even. However, it did dawn on her how life at camp will be after this with the new leader and training. "I hope you are right Veronica." Hoping that she was right and training would not be bad. But non of them would know for sure until when it starts.

Still, Sofia was willing to see how it would work and as long it is not intense. Then maybe it would not be bad. Who knows, she might get a six pack. Which while she does have a better frame then some, it might be awsome to have a six pack.

But as Heath left, Sofia had to say goodbye to him. "Goodbye Heath and good night," She did a small wave and as he watched Heath leave. Did her gaze turned to Veronica and while they had said they would be careful tonight. It seem liked the daughter of Aphrodite had changed her mind. Sofia watched Veronica down her double malibu and coke in one go and get close to another camper. Very close before taking off into the night.

"Okay, that happened," Sofia said in a surprise tone. Veronica was brave tonight and a thought entered her mind and she looked down at her mostly fill drink. With training starting, she was not sure if she finish her drink and after thinking about it. She held her for hand with the drink and poured down and let the alcoholic liquid fall into the snow. It might be a waste but, Sofia would rather not get hungover when training starts. That is a bad combo she does not want to experience.

Now seeing how the party is over and people are leaving to their cabins. Sofia thought about doing the same and went to walk back to her cabin ater throwing away her now emtpy cup. Party time was over and time to get some rest before training starts and so back to her cabin to some sleep. Hoping that this night will not be the last time she will have fun.

Background:

Role: Royal Knight
Backstory: Markiel is the youngest born to the Northern Sviatolev family. Born during the civil war that has ravaged the Jugkrai Kingdom. Markiel's early life was spent in his family's castle, staying safe as his father waged war to claim a title that he felt belonged to him. Learning the art of war and other topics as he grew older and watched as his older siblings endured strict training at the behest of his father. Strict training that he would undergo and find to be demanding and, at times, cruel. For his father wanted his children to be the best at war, so they could aid him in their fight with their cousins in the south.

But as the war drew on and more lives were lost. Markiel started to have second thoughts about the civil war and his father's drive to be king. Thoughts he would share with his mother, who while kept what he thought to herself. She tried to discourage him from such thoughts and to be a good son and support the family's claim to the throne. Markiel would listen to his mother's words, but still became more disillusioned with the civil war. More so, he started to notice that his father was growing more ruthless, and even his older brother, the heir, who was a kind man. Started to seem off to Markiel and was becoming more like his father. Then his other siblings seem to start to follow suit.

Markiel could not find a reason for this, and when his father discovered his thoughts about the civil war. He was brought before him in the throne room for all to see and was chewed out by his father. It lasted a good time, and by the end of it. His father would choose in anger to exile Markiel, and he could only return once he proved himself strong enough to bear the family's name and understand why only their branch can be rulers of the kingdom.

Markiel saw how none of his family stood up for him and let this happen unopposed. He begrudgingly obeyed and left the kingdom so after. But before he left, one of his sisters and his mother gave him gifts to help him on the road, and hoped that once the civil war was over and his father's anger would lessen. That he could return and reconcile with his father. A sentiment that Markiel did not share but chose not to reveal to them. He accepted their gifts and was reminded that some of his family still cared for him. Even if they would not stand up for him when he needed them.

So Markiel, after his exile, made the choice to see the world. Live on his terms and cared little about the requirements of returning home at the time. This brought him some peace as he saw a world that was at peace and not in a continuous war. Opening his mind to new things, he would be happy exploring and seeing the world. Becoming an adventurer, and for years it was like this, and Markiel had no plans of stopping. Though he would keep tabs on the civil war back home. Hoping that once the civil war was over, peace could return to the land, and who knows. Maybe his father would relax, and he could return. But until that day, life on the road was his, and a life of adventure was his life for now.

Character Intro: "So that is Ealdormuda," Markiel said to himself as he gazed at the city from afar. Standing on a grassy hill that gave a good view of the city. He could feel the warmth of the sun on his face as he gazed at the city. He has heard much about the capital of the Eahamingas. Good things, and now it was his next stop.

He had never been to this city, but after his last job as a caravan guard. Markiel had heard enough about the city from the guards and the traders that he should visit the city. At least once, and he could only imagine what he would find there. He has not been in the land of the Eahamingas long and is eager to explore more of the land. Once he was done with the city, that is.

Then, as he finished surveying the city from afar. Markiel had a thought, and he reached for his necklace that was hidden on his neck. Loosely holding it in his hand as he inspected the sigil on it. How would his family think of his travels? Markiel knew the answers to that, or at least what his father would think. Bitter thoughts began to invade his mind. He closed his hand over the sigil and went back to hide the necklace on his person. Expelling the bitter thoughts from his mind in the process.

No, he thought, now is not the time for thinking about his family. More so him, and so with his last thoughts becoming focused on the now. Markiel walked down the hill in a casual manner and with a warm smile. He began his final trek to Ealdormuda. Time to see what the city has in store for him and what tales he will hear. Time for maybe another adventure.
