The cool winds blew by, ruffling the sails gently as they danced on by. Afar the vast sea spread out, lit by the brazen sun high in the sky. With not a single cloud in the atmosphere, the day was refreshing to the young swashbuckler Salden. He smiled at the horizon, opening up his arms to let the winds give him a refreshing blast of energy. Broom in hand, he tilted his head back and stared at the skies, "One day. I'll rule it all."
Adventureres, Pirates, and Colonists alike gathered around the newly found lands. At the center of everything the islands met, with qualities so unique all wanted to see their bizarre states. Kings, Pirate Lords, and small states sent out those to excavenge those lands.

- Races -
Human - The plain though hardy humans. Known for their courageous and risky acts in history the humans are quite balanced in everything they do. With no type of society to pressure them into any type of personality, this race finds themselves with a diverse range of specialists. From determined warriors to sly thieves the humans are easily known as the race with many factions. Though the poor thing about the humans is with no specialization single-handedly a human is said to be outmatched by any other. Though through courage this 'fact' has been broken in many legends. And in war the diverse troops they can pull out do give humans quite an advantage.
____Factions -
____Knights of Alzor - One of the most prominent kingdoms of all, Alzor holds a strong theme of loyalty. With an army of Knights all sworn to protect the king Alzor is constantly conquering new lands. The Knights of Alzor are almost all noble bred, meaning that they've all come from either the king's family itself or one of the king's closest friend's family.
From the age of 6 all male and perhaps female knights begin their training. At the age of 14 they become squires, serving knights then at the age of 18 they finally become full fledged knights.
The king's obsession with conquering new lands has led him to send his troop of knights to the new lands.
____Thieves of Seras - Seras, seemingly the scum of the human's. Many have tried to rid of it though the sly residents of it always seem to find a way to out-wit those who oppose Seras. A town of thieves, run by only the richest who are quite prone to becoming the poorest in a day's length. From Teich, the great thief's list of quotes, "Money goes in circles, only meant to stick to the slyest of all; while it slips from other's hands into mine one day I'm bound to have my money pried from my own dead hands."
Recently many stolen boats have been reported along the coasts, the Thieves of Seras have been taking a new approach to thievery. Thinking larger, they've taken to the new lands in search of new fledged colonists to steal from and perhaps buried treasure to dig up. The Thieves of Seras may give birth to a new generation of pirates.
____Passim Mercenaries - It is unknown how the group was started, though being one of the most well known group of mercenaries they have spread across the human lands dispersing their own into assorted groups for the right price. Masters of the bow and dagger, the mercenaries often are hired for assassinations; hitting hard at the hearts of their targets with an arrow or blade.
Some of these Mercenaries have been hired for various expeditions to the new lands by various factions.
____The Voxin Guild - A guild located just south of Alzor. An ally of the kingdom that sends their own to aid Alzor and recieves Knights to defend themselves. Those of the Voxin guild have been there since their childhood. For only those raised from such an age could master the arts of magic. A wide range of arcane magics are practiced at the guild.
Voxin is seemingly a school for life, at the age of 16 are its students allowed out into the real world for various missions or to aid their allies. Alzor's troop of adventurers heading to the new lands includes those from the Voxin Guild.
____The Church of Sanctus - Its heart is located north of Alzor, though they branch out largely to other lands. Including a group attempting to convert those of Seras into their own religion. Their god's name is Pium, representing all that is right. Two groups reside within the Church's grasp. Those who worship Pium directly are called Sanctus Healers, not only do they worship their god but they also practice the arts of holy magic, which includes the art of healing. Another group would be Sanctus Warriors, those who seek to purge all evils and fight on behalf of their god Pium's name rather than the Knights of Alzor who fight for their king.
Often do missionaries visit Alzor, in fact Alzor has a Sanctus church in its capital. On behalf of the king's praise for their god Pium, Sanctus Healers and Warriors alike have found themselves aiding the kingdom.
Procerus - These tall human-like beings are a good two to three feet taller than the average human, and are found in the Northern continent of Defro. Most if not all of the Procerus are well built and muscular, two times stringer than humans, seemingly giants to others. The continent is best known for its black snow and dark constantly clouded lands. As a result of living in the lands, the Procerus have developed darkened skin. Often do they wear large coats made of animal skins to wade off the cold. The shade of their eyes differ from humans, being either red or green due to having to see well in the dark. Due to their harsh and cold conditions they've got hardened skin as well.
The Procerus are rarely ever visited for to outsiders their lands seems like a hell, where one is constantly at fear of falling into the dark snow in the midst of all the land's darkness or freezing to death.
Living in huge buildings of ice, the Procerus have a stable society and single kingdom. Though tribesmen still stuck in the old ages wander about the vast and dark land.
____Factions -
____The Erratun Demons of Defro - The wandering tribesmen of Defro, lost in the old ages constantly wander the lands in small tribes. They are berserkers, consuming the plant Furor they're consumed by rage and madness as they go berserk on the battlefield. Only those of their genetic line can use this plant, for others it merely drives them insane or quells them in a temporary fear. They gained their title Erratun Demons for all the pillaging they had done simply with blades and in small tribes, their berserk fighting style is ruthless and at no extent merciful. Though the Demons have found themselves a new ground of pillaging, the new lands.
____The Coastal Barracudas - Humble residents of the cold and harsh coasts of Defro, their pastime is fishing though many relish combat using the same spears and javelins they use to fish to engage their enemies. Though the Barracudas of Defro's coast do not fish for small game, they sail out to sea on small boats looking for the crazed beasts of the sea. The Caedo beast, matching the size of a warship is the prime and most praised target of the Barracudas. Its large teeth are often carved down to form the tips of their javelins and spears. The Barracudas use every part of the Caedo beast, as it is a rare though bountiful catch. Many young Barracudas have died in hunt for it, though to kill one makes you a true man among the Barracudas.
Lately the Barracudas have been hired to man their boats to the new lands by the Solum kingdom of Defro. Many of the Erratun have been pillaging their coasts for boats, though their javelins and spears often make a match for the Demons.
____The Solum Guard - Devoted and loyal guards to their land, the society of Solum focuses more on their kingdom as a whole rather than the king himself. The guard devotes himself to guarding his homeland from those of Erratun and wild animals. Many times has a Solum guard witnessed the berserk Erratun and clashed in combat. The Solum Guards have en edge over the demons though, in battle their minds are clear and they can think of ways to outwit their berserk and primitive minded enemies. The Guard has a code of honor that they must uphold, never straying from the path of honor and committing an act of wrong.
From childhood have the Guard mastered the use of serrated blades, hunting was a required practice of youth to train them against minds like those of the Erratun.
The king's recent push for trips to the new land is questionable, for up until now it the Guard's duties were to protect their land with their lives.
More details to come. Just an idea in the making.

Itzu - The Itzu are a race that represents intelligence. The oldest of all three races, they're the elders of time itself. Over the years the Itzu have gained extensive knowledge over magic and the art of fletchery. On average the Itzu are about the same height as humans though their eyes burn a deep golden yellow or green. They primarily have whitened skin, that some say almost glow with knowledge. Their pointy ears show that their ancestry included that of the elves, though the Itzu have evolved and moved out of the forests.
Their architecture is legendary, towering in height with mosaics lining building's walls and filtering colorful rays of sunlight in. During the dark the Itzu light their cities with orbs of energy which have been augmented to give off strong light to allow the Itzu to even work during the night more efficiently, unlike those with simple torches.
The Itzu are the only race that are all united together a nation, theirs called Urun.
At childhood Itzu children go through a ceremony to determine whether they are to be one of three things, a Fletcher, Magi, or Plainsman.
Lately the Itzu have found a liking for the new lands, curious as to what secrets and knowledge it holds, so expeditions have been sent.
____Factions -
____Magi of Urun - Those who practice the art of Elemental and Arcane magic, which has been mastered over the many years of the Itzu race, are greatly respected in Itzu society. Magi can even run for head of Urun. A few Magi have mastered both Arcane and Elemental magic due to their long lifespans.
The Magi have discovered a new art of Magic, the art of summoning. By keeping a life source within an object, a Magi can pull it out into a cast of either elemental or arcane magic to summon it. To put it simply, the power of the summon depends on the amount of magic that the summoner can put into the cast. Putting large amounts into the cast can deplete the summoner's energy, though. There are five types of summons, fire, nature, water, earth, and arcane.
____Fletchers of Sutilas - Sutilas was the Elf who long ago discovered the art of fletchery. Those who practice and master fletchery follow his teaching's. Sutilas taught that fletchery not only require physical strength but also knowledge and a strong mentality to deal with tough situations.
Once a child is chosen to follow Sutilas' teachings, he/she is detached from his/her family to live in the forests of Sutilas. There they spend their adolescence learning about Sutilas's teachings and practice the art of fletchery untill they have reached a mature age. Once they leave the forests they join Urun's armies to serve their king.

Description:
Islands:
Frigus - A cold and harsh island. The southern island of the four, from afar the island looks like a huge floating iceberg due to the large and jagged mountains. Though the size would point out that it is not, in fact an iceberg. The island is one of the largest, spanning out fields of snow with a mountain range on the southern-most coast. Frozen lakes solemnly dot the island, the more south one would traverse the thicker the ice in the lakes would be; therefore it'd be less likely to fall through the ice in the southern most point of the island. A few icebergs float around the coasts of Frigus, filtering out poorly driven ships. Though even with its harsh climates a Procerus would find this place to be home. There are many fish along the coasts, including large crabs. As far as vegetation goes there is only one type of fruit up high in the mountains, said to have a sour flavor though nutritious. Few creatures scour the island, including large bears and wolves.
Deep inside the mountains, inside the caves some believe there may be treasure or old artifacts.
Tepidus - A tropical island, three fourths the size of Ustulo, the western-most of the four. Diverse vegetation and animals cover the land, giving it an array of colors. Vast beaches line the coast, covered with seashells and a warm breeze. Many fish swim along its coasts and in its rivers. Palm trees make up most of the forests. Large mountains cover the eastern-most side of the island, and almost form a shell as the island is in a crescent shape, opening up to the east. Hot springs dot the mountain's base. Many would wish to visit this island, for simply its warm climates or the scientific knowledge that could be gained from its diverse animals and vegetation.
Ustulo - A hot and scorching island, just as big as Frigus, a large volcano sits in its center. It is the northern-most island. Around it, black beaches from cooled lava are formed. No fish swim around this land, though a rare resource dwells at the volcano's base. Genis, even more profitable than Diamonds. The crystal turns different colors during the time of day, at morning yellow, at sunset red, and at night a dark blue. Kings and nobles have dreamed of creating whole halls filled with these color changing minerals. Though the unforgiving island has eruptions once every other month, making permanent residence hard, though the lava flow does not cover the whole island so one could create a residence outside of its reach and make temporary excavation camps by the volcano. Barely any trees exist on this island, as they'd all be burnt out. Black deserts surround the volcano, the only pleasant part of the island are its oasis's that reside just outside of the volcano's reach.
Altus - A diverse island, the largest of all, though only by a bit. Easternmost. Its beaches are quite dull, though fish swim around its coasts and in its fresh water lakes and rivers. Vegetation is limited to crops like corn and beans. Large forests full of oak and evergreens cover the northern half, small animals dwell in these forests. Large plains take up the south eastern fourth, populated by grazing animals and predators. And a huge lake takes up a bit of the south western fourth, abundant in fish and lily pads. The land is diverse itself, and would make a perfect residence. Though it has no special resources or treasures, its quite homely to Humans and Itzu.

Doooo.
"Salden jumped from the ship onto the hot and steamy beach, his feet sinking into the grains of sand. The ocean crashed and receded behind him, creating a calming rhythm. He grinned, as the ocean breeze blew past him. Marching forward he made way into the forest, the sun high above his head bearing down on him and his crew. In the horizon the mountains could be seen, towering. His destination was the hot springs of ____"

Name: Autumn Folis
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Faction: Passim Mercenaries
Weapon: Bastard Sword (1.25m, 1.03m blade, based on standard English longsword, figure the rest out), Two Shortswords (80cm, 67cm blades, based on TYPE-MOON Black Keys- shape and design anyway), Four Daggers (Three, two 30 cm and one 20cm long, stiletto style, One, 30 cm long, standard dagger (slightly thick base, triangular blade))
Inventory: Currently equipped clothing, sets of cloaks, and whatever that's on the ship
Description:
-Physical: Long black hair a bit past the shoulder, halfway to the waist. Slim, firm and slightly muscular figure, the muscles don't show that much, but one can easily see she has little excess meat on her body. Her arms look slim but firm enough to pass out as a normal girl's arm. Her legs however look more trained. Her body is a good figure, and her BWH is 89-68-85. Her height is 174 cm, her leg length is 106.14cm, roughly 61% of her body. She is capable of reaching up to 226 cm with her arms stretched, showing she has rather long arms. Her fingers are a bit long too. She has dark-brown eyes that are a bit smaller than average, and her face is a bit long (up&down). Her eyebrows are a bit thin, her nose is slightly, although it is not crooked anything. Her cheeks have a bit of fat, making them look slightly full. Her forehead is of average size, but she puts her hair down so it isn't usually all the visible. Her hair covers her forhead, and a bit of her eyes.
-Mental: Her attitude is rather accepting of everything, so that she's not overly shocked and is able to keep calm at times. She has a bit of an attitude, and is a bit of a deadpan snarker. She seems a bit introverted, but she is always willing to join in a conversation. She's also rather perceptive and specializes in seeing the negative. However, she is not necessarily a pessimist, she's a bit down to earth and realistic though. That doesn't mean she's void of imagination, it's just that she sees reality in a very down to earth way. In a way, she seems to have a bit of that mature kind of attitude. She also acts insensitive of other people's feelings at times, although she is empathetic. It's just that it's hard for her to consider other people's feelings above her own, and will act upon rather disturbing choices if she feels its right, but she definitely has enough of a heart to feel guilty about her actions if she makes any morally doubtful choices.
-Situation: She was hired as a mercenary to work as a guard and as a member of a settlement. However, all the other people on her ship, 6, have died- 4 by a raid by thieves out in the sea and 2 who had accidentally drowned. She is not capable of managing a ship, however, so she is drifting to wherever she may be able to find. She is currently unaware where and who her contractors (not the ones who were dead, but the ones in the settlement) are nor of anything else in her situation such as the local geography and such.

Character Sheet:
Name:Sasin
Gender:Male
Race:Human
Faction:Passim Mercenaries
Weapon: Sword, bow and arrows, and a hunting knife
Inventory: 30x arrows, some herbs that have been mixed together that can be used to cure some illnesses, bandages, about 100 gold coins, and a pouch with the Passim Mercenaries' crest on it.
Description:
Appearance: Hair is blonde like sun, and eyes as blue and cold as ice. Always wears a facial expression that is apathetical as he is. Wears a light platemail that is primarily brown with silver edging. On the pouldrons of the armor there is the crest of the Passim mercenaries. Even though the rest of his armor is brownish, he has black gauntlets with rubies on the top. Obviously this isn't standard for the merc. He stole the gauntlets from a royalty he was hired to assassinate during his first year.
Psychological: Very very apathetical. Come to him with your problems and expect to be turned away with his gaze. Also, he is greedy. Sasin is known for abandoning team members during a mission to steal (or leave them behind so he can get more of a cut). But even with this greed, he is very loyal to people he gets close to. It has been said that he gave up a chance for some wonderful treasures to help out one of his friends in a dire situation.
Weapons: even though his armor is the generic standard Passim Merc gear (with exception of gauntlets) his weapons are far from. His main weapon is a rare katana with a blade as black as his gauntlets. The hilt is red with Black decal of a reaper on it and has a golden guard. Even though this is his favorite weapon, it is one of the least used due to its value, so as a substitute he also has a knights sword, stolen from an Alzor knight. finally an ashwood bow, bought from a merc who found it on a mission in Itzo territory. Finally he has a hunting knife concealed within his armor, standard.

Name: Alorae Spellsong
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Faction: Voxen Guild
Inventory: Pouch of 50 gold, Steel dagger, Book of Mysteries (Murder mysteries. LOL.), and Bunny Plushie.
Description:
Physical Description: Alorae's hair is white as snow, as a side ponytail hangs off to the side of her head. A golden witch-like hat tilts down, covering a part of her twinkling set of eyes. One eye is black, while the other one is white. Golden sleeves hang over her arms like drapes. Under the drape-like sleeves is a short dress: gray and white top with a pure moonlight-dyed skirt. Pitch dark laced boots cover her legs, as a red belt connects with the woman's light-skinned legs.
Other Physical Description: http://public5.tektek.org/img/av/1008/d09/1920/0fd8326.png (http://tektek.org/avatar/38838386)
Personality: Alorae is mostly like a mood-reactor. Whenever she's happy, she seems excited like a cardinal is born. When she's furious, she acts bitter to others like a shark, and when she's normal and bored, she acts silent like a stealthy wolf, trying to catch a bird. She sometimes likes to spar, to test her skill, and whenever she loses, she goes to the library to study more magic for a very, very long time.
Weapon: Alorae hates things that she has to carry all the time, so she decided to train under books and fiery and flames, fire. The book is apparently titled, "The Mysteries of Inferno Runes", by P. Head and Dr. Suess. (Yeah that was a joke.) She tucks the book neatly into her pouch, and wipes the dust off at pretty much most of the time. If her book is damaged or ripped, she has a backup book: "Fires of Fury Runes", By Mary Pope Osborn and Harry Mason (JOKE.).

Name: Lien Tulson
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Faction: Thieves Of Seras
Weapon: Bow and Arrow, dagger.
Inventory: Arrows, journal, and secret pouch.
Personality: A power-hungry, narcissistic (insert bad word here), seemingly normal on the outside, until you've been robbed or conned, obviously. He wants power, control, and most of all, to not be known as a petty thief. Would rather travel light, and find his way from there on.
Phys Desc: 6"4, average in body build, has an orange tattoo on his torso, believed to bring luck and prosperity to the bearer. Whether he got his prosperity with honest work, however, is a different story. Lien has silver-gray hair, in a wild fashion as he doesn't style his hair. (thank god (xaoz)) Green eyes, a NAVY BLUE (HAPPY, XAOZ?) jacket, and torque pants (couldn't think of another word), he has dark-looking bags around his eyes due to countless nights out in the town, partying and conning with the best of the best residents of Seras. Relatively well-kept hygiene, as well as you can get in the times, and about average in fitness. Wears bandages around his feet instead of shoes so as his footsteps will be quieter.

Phys Desc: http://public5.tektek.org/img/av/1008/d11/2349/f023491.png (http://tektek.org/avatar/38896166)
Mental: Pretty plain, but good. Not cracked, like most of his friends. While others are way out there, like Lien, Pascal is the voice of reason, always pulling them back into reality. This makes him a good friend, to Lien at least. Loves naps.
Inv: (soon) Crossbow & bolts, knife.
Weapons: Crossbow & bolts
Skill: Mainly a marksman, he has great eyesight and hearing, which would make him a great robber if he hadn't resolved to only to con people. Very aggressive if intoxicated.

Name: Kyuu: Son of the Damned
Gender: Male
Race: Itzu
Faction:Magi of Urun
Weapon: Magic and a short sword
Inventory:Ink, brush, paper a sword and several books of magic study
Description: medium length crimson hair with piercing red eyes, He stands at a healthy 6'2" with a toned physique.
Personality: Do to his harsh past he has a very cold exterior to those who he does not know, it is very hard for him to put his trust in any one as most people in his life have betrayed him in some way. Once someone earns his trust they can expect the most loyal of friends; however once betrayed he will never trust that person again and be a bitter enemy.
Back story: It all started when he was three; his parents had always been so nice to him, so kind, so gentle... He got everything he wanted; games, toys, attention. His family looked to be perfect... At least that's what he thought. His parents had actually been the worst criminals in the history of the Itzu Kingdom.
It happened at night, there was a loud crash. his mother burst through the door, her face filled with panic, and yelled at him to hide under the bed. Not a moment sooner the wall beside his bed was smashed to pieces, as the dust settled he saw Itzu soldiers and several summons through the newly created entrance. He looked at his mother who stood in front of him protectively bow drawn. "Mother?" he cried shakily. "Shut up, and run!" She Shrieked and ran at the soldiers, she didn't get far as a snake like summon had wrapped around her, effectively capturing her. it was only after his mother was taken out of the way that he noticed his father, unconscious, being dragged by the hair from one of the soldiers. "FATHER! MOTHER!" He started to cry but when one of the soldiers made their way to him he stopped and tried to crawl away...
The next thing he remembered was waking up in a dark room ,what he later found out to be a jail cell, with a soldier sitting at a table. "good, your awake." The soldier spoke gruffly "Come over here, I need to ask you some questions" he gestured to the empty chair. Kyuu shakily walked to the table and sat, he was in no position to disobey. "Were are my parents!" Kyuu demanded boldly "now, now. there will be time for that later, I'll be the one asking the questions for now" The soldier told him, almost sounding sincere "Do you know why your here?" He asked. Kyuu shook his head no. "Do you know why we took your parents?" Again Kyuu shook his head. "I see, so how did your parents treat you?" "they were the best!" Kyuu exclaimed "they would always treat me kindly, and never once hit me."
"hmm" the soldier pondered not expecting the answers the kid was giving him, he decided to tell the kid what was going on, or at least part of it “Kid.” he started “Your Parents were arrested and executed last night.” Kyuu looked down silent, not sure of what to make of the situation “They did horrible things, some of which we are just finding out about from their journals found at their house. They were using live people in experiments to further their magic knowledge” Kyuu was crying now, how could his loving parents be such horrible people? How could the ones who treated him so gently treat others so cruelly? It didn't seem possible, didn't seem real. It must be a dream, or at least that's what he thought. Until the next day when he woke up in the same cell that he was in the day before.
In the kings meeting place:
“IT IS AN ABOMINATION IT MUST BE DESTROYED!” Yelled out an enraged council member.
“Calm down” another said “We don't even know if it is dangerous.”
“according to the reports from the interrogator it doesn't even know what it is.” said a third “It seems to think it is just a normal boy.”
“THAT'S WHAT IS WANTS YOU TO THINK!” The first screamed
“SILENCE!” yelled the King “we will decide this by a vote! All in favor of discarding the child?”
There were several shouts of I
“All in favor of letting the child live but not telling him of what he is?”
There were some other shouts of I
“It is decided then......”
4 years latter.....
“GET BACK HERE” someone snarled Throwing rocks at the boy he was chasing “YOU FUCKING DEMON SPAWN, I'LL KILL YOU!”
Kyuu was running for his life again, it was almost every day that something like this would happen. After he was kicked from the orphanage he had to live on the streets and steal for food, after all that's what all homeless children did. The only thing he didn't understand was why all the other orphans never got chased, oh well count that up to bad luck he supposed and continued to run while downing the bread he had stolen. He rounded two more corners before running into something hard. “KYUU!!!” yelled the man that he ran into. “Pa...Patsu!(patsu is the same soldier that interogated Kyuu in the cell)” Kyuu exclaimed in surprise “umm I was just umm.. GOTTA GO!” He turned to run but was grabbed in the air by his collar.
“GET BACK HERE!!!” The street vender rounded the corner “Oh umm sir!” he straightened up when he saw the soldier holding the boy up. Regaining his composer he talked “That boy stole some of my food. He needs to be punished at once!” Patsu sighed “Here, this should cover what he stole” he handed the vender a gold coin. “o...of course” the street vender stammered and walked off muttering about not understanding why the king decided to let the Demon brat live.
“Kyuu, what have I told you about stealing ?” Patsu reprimanded setting Kyuu down
“That it is wrong, and evil”Kyuu started as if rehearsed “and that I shouldn't degrade my self to doing such things. And that if I don't stop doing it the people will never stop hating me.”
“That's Right!” Patsu Shouted “And don't you forget it”
14 years later:
“I would like to congratulate you all!” Yelled out a commander “each and every one of you have excelled in each part of your military training. You will all be put into the elite force of the. Itzu military. And will be sent as part of the research to the new lands. Now go get ready!
“YES SIR!”

Character Sheet:
Name: Atra Frost
Gender: Female
Race: Procerus
Faction: Solum Guard
Weapon: She wields a long and heavy bladed whip. The whip itself is like a barbed wire, but at the tip of the whip is a large and heavy obsidian bulb that can split and splay into a flower with bladed petals. Her weapon is meant more for mutilation than for killing. For close combat, she uses martial arts as well as dual serrated daggers. The daggers have intricate designs that traces back to her race's art history.
Inventory: Other than her garments, armor, and weapons, she carries a pocket journal to write down what she sees in her travels, as well as odd-looking sun goggles to protect her eyes from the sun.
Description:
(Physical)
A fierce-looking woman. Almost reaching seven-foot tall. Layered long black hair. She’s muscular for a human, but pretty scrawny as a Procerus. She wears a large heavy cloak that climbs to her nose and then reaches down to her knees. Under her cloak, she wears light body armor and tough leather pants. Her heavy-plated boots reaches up to her knees.
(Internal Conflict)
She used to be a tacit strong-willed woman with an ego because of her job as a guard.
However, ever since she was sent away to the islands, she’s been feeling insecure and nervous because she didn’t know why SHE was to go there. She thought maybe it was because she was the weakest of the female guards. With these issues, she can be a little absent-minded from time to time, but tries her best to focus on her job. Her strong will was largely eroded because she felt that she does best at her homeland. She doesn’t know how far her brute strength would get her in these newlands, but nevertheless, she knew that what she’s doing is for the good of the kingdom. She’s willing to swallow her pride to do her job, which she believes is a form of a demotion as a Guard.
(Personality)
She was a prideful, loud, and strong woman back in her homeland. Now that she's away from home, she's always cautious, shy, never-trusting, and tries to be very aloof. She is constantly having contradicting thoughts, thus can be indecisive sometimes. However, she tries to keep a close relationship with her kinsman.

Islands: Frigus
Name: Darmani
Gender: Male
Age: 73 (Human Years)
Race: Procerus
Faction: Coastal Barracuda (Retired)
Weapon: Fishing Spear
Inventory: Fishing rod, fishing bait (larva), spear holster, whicker basket (to put in his catches), small club (for clubbing 8D lolololololol), fishing net, and carving knife. He carries his fishing equipment in a small wooden barrel.
Appearance: Darmani stands at roughly 9 feet and weighing over 300lbs. He has hard, dark grey skin, like most of his race. Due to his age he doesn't have the large muscles seen on the young of his people, but he is still rather fit. He has light orange eyes hidden by his long and ragged white beard. He wears a a cloth and animal hide loin cloth along with boots and gloves made of animal hide and metal (for grip on ice and on rod/spear). He is missing a few teeth either from a hunt or his age, and he has several scars from past hunts.
http://public5.tektek.org/img/av/1008/d10/2248/76fd177.png
Personality: Darmani is a rather gruff person. Whether it be from age or experiences, he always seems a little grumpy. The only time he isn't is when he's fishing, and then he's just silently sitting, not paying attention to anything but his lure. He isn't all tough though. He is willing to lend a helping hand or two to those who need it, and he can give good advice (as long as it's about fishing).
History: Born and raised on Defro, Darmani's future was set in stone alongside his brothers and father to be Coastal Barracuda's. He wasn't deterred though as he loved the hunting stories told by his father and elder brothers. Once he reached age hid entire life became centered around the ocean. He made many friends out of the fishers and of the fisherman families too. It wasn't until his first Caedo hunt that he new the truth of the hunt. Darmani was one of the few that lived after taking down the beast. He watched he friends and even his brothers die before him, and when he returned to the shores, he along with the other survivors were the one's who told the families of the deceased what had happened. Despite that, Darmani continued fishing with the same joy. He saw others pass and went on a few Caedo hunts. It wasn't until all his elder brothers, his father, and his mother had passed that Darmani retired from the hunts. He set sail for Frigus to live as a hermit, and he has done so for the past 7 years...

Character Sheet:
Name: Fiammetta [Fi]
Gender: Female
Age: 25 in human years (~50 in Itzu years?)
Race: Itzu
Faction: Magi of Urun
Weapon: Fire Magic, Staff of Fire.
Inventory: Money pouch with a little bit of money (nothing too extravagant but enough to get by), some bandages, a small dagger used more for a tool than a weapon, and a locket her family gave her before she left so they could be with her always.
Description: Like many Itzu, Fiammetta became a mage and from a young age was gifted. However as she grew older she grew bored with her home and longed for adventure and thus left to seek it out. She grew up in a fairly average family, nothing special about her upbringing. She joined Sasin fairly early on in her adventures, and they have known each other for awhile now.
Appearance: http://public5.tektek.org/img/av/1008/d10/2140/1e5c801.png
Fiammetta like all Itzu has glowing white skin, especially since she is a magic wielder, along with burning golden eyes and flowing blood red hair as fiery red as her magic is. She likes to wear dark clothes which accentuate even more the glowing brightness of her skin, as well as red things because red is her favourite colour. She always carries her black fire staff, adorned with red rubies that help her in her magic using, however she is perfectly capable of using magic without it.
Psychological:
Fiammetta is as fiery as her magic in terms of temper and can flare up quite easily about things she is passionate about, and can be especially destructive in this state. Usually however she is quiet, observant and very nice, although if she doesn't like you you will tend to find yourself burning up in her stare.... quite literally sometimes. Her kind and easy going disposition make her well liked to almost everyone she meets, although her attractiveness helps. She is also quite short and because of how she looks, she is often greatly underestimated in battle where she can instantly become quite fierce, quite like a small flame that can turn into a raging bushfire with just the right conditions. She is very loyal to her friends and would do anything for them, and will often help out strangers as well but she will never endanger herself for strangers like she would for her friends.

08-11-2010, 09:55 PM
This seems to be the largest and most active RP right now, so I guess I'll join and try not to ruin it for you. And just a note, but I was originally going to join Tepidus, but the fact that it apparently has significantly less people than Frigus made me change my mind (less people » less active » less fun). However, below my main character I posted another one that, if I can have two charries, I could post on Tepidus a while after I got myself situated in Frigus. Thanks for reading all this. Don't mind how Sue-like they might be.
Li'than Magus
[Name:] Li'than of the Magi (Li'than Magus)
[Gender:] Male
[Island:] Frigus
[Race:] Itzu
[Faction:] Magi of Urun
[Weapon:]
Sol: A golden staff with a bright orb at it's end. It draws it's power from the sun, and the brightness of the orb reflects the amount of magic it can draw.
[Inventory:] Nothing.
[Description:] For many years Li’than adapted heavily to the human lifestyle, ditching his Itzu heritage. He is less of the traditional mage of Urun and is much more akin to the modern human battle-mage: proficient in wielding powerful elemental spells and adequate at healing spells. His clothing reflects this, as he wears heavy magical armor designed to absorb enemy spells. Covering that is a human tabard with his personal colors: blue and yellow. On top of his shaggy white hair that’s long enough to disguise the elven ears of the Itzu is a large royal crown. He wears it not to show some form of superiority, but instead because it matches his colors perfectly, and no other hat seemed to fit quite right.
http://public5.tektek.org/img/av/1008/d11/1649/2579671.png (http://tektek.org/avatar/38885692)
Personality: Li’than is always the adventurous one. He doesn’t always think things through, and tends to be overly dramatic a good portion of the time. He thinks he’s quite funny, and is usually cracking hit-or-miss jokes during times that jokes would be considered generally awkward (like in the middle of a battle). He secretly yearns for a best friend he can have kill-count-competitions with, because his current best friend, Oinkers the forever-piglet, can’t fight. Or speak. Or really do anything besides charge into battle beside Lithan wearing specially crafted armor.
[--x--]
Summer T'zan
[Name:] Summer T'zan
[Gender:] Female
[Race:] Human
[Faction:] Knights of Alzor
[Weapon:]
Moonsilver: A large and deadly sword crafted magically so it's less cumbersome than it appears to be. Summer uses the size of the sword, as well as her small body, to trick opponents into underestimating her.
[Inventory:] A small magical orb that, when broken, will create an immensely bright light that Summer can use as a distraction.
[Description:]
Summer has incredibly pale skin, and even whiter, long, billowing hair that flows behind her with a surreal sense of otherworldly-ness. Her entire appearance is incredibly white, including her armor, her sword, and her eyes. Her forehead is covered by the large pale helm for blocking arrows shot at her head. On her shoulders she wears a bolero which, although not traditional clothing, she finds is one of the things that does not affect her movement negatively. Below that is her traditional white armor, and below that is her long pal sash that extends down to her feet (so not to be low enough to trip her). Altogether many regard her fashion as quite ridiculous and not very functional, but years of training have allowed her to respond swiftly to opponents anyway.
http://public5.tektek.org/img/av/1008/d10/1850/da75424.png (http://tektek.org/avatar/38862634)
[Personality:] Summer is a quick-witted, cheery and overall happy person, although a bit cynical and overly sarcastic when she hasn’t eaten. Originally she trained to become like the female warriors of legend: weaker than her male companions, but making up for it with intelligence and strategy. However, after realizing the tales were just to increase recruiting rates for the Knights of Alzor she ditched the idea and focused on becoming as strong as her male counterparts.

((Nice character sheet nova. Though regarding magic, I'd like to remind you that the Itzu and most magi focus on either arcane or a single element to master. As practicing all of them is just... ineffecient and weaker than focusing on one. So I'd choose one of those to master. Unless you're sacrificing that for the ability to more like a battle mage. Also, it'd be nice if you could go somewhere other than Frigus because those on Tepidus need more people, as well as the large 5 person group heading to Ustulo at sea right now.))
novapirate
08-12-2010, 12:06 AM
If a battle mage knew only one type of magic, he would be quite inefficient, because once he uses the magic once everyone knows about it and it's quite easily countered. Therefore, I will give up power for versatility. I guess I'll change to Tepidus, and have my secondary change to Altus by herself.

A 100 year old itzu is not like a 200 year old human. But rather a 200 year old itzu, is like a 100 year old human.
Kyuu's character is 40 but in human years he looks 20.

08-12-2010, 02:17 AM
You see, we compare Itzu years to Human years so we as humans can imagine how they look in terms of age. Itzu live longer, because they age slower.
So little Timmy, a human is best friends with Marie, but she's an Itzu. By the time they're both forty though... Marie looks 20 but Timmy looks 40 in humans years because Marie ages twice as slow. Their friendship is now a little odd.
So... ScrewbaII's character being 50 in Itzu years looks 25 in humans years. But the confusion here is that Itzu yeas converted to humans years change, but they do not as they share the same calendar system. So its simply comparing what they look like in age.
Does that make sense? xD

Character Sheet:
Name: Gursel
Gender: Male
Age: 57 In Itzu years (~28 in Human years?)
Race: Itzu
Faction: Magi of Urun
Weapon: Water Magic (Ice as well), Water Sceptre (two sapphires embedded into it midway up the rod), prepared water sources
Inventory: Loose coins, general and very basic first aid supplies (enough to treat cuts, but not enough for stuff like missing limbs). A small collection of exotic materials within a ceder box (gunpowder, a few weak poisons, ect) which are used more for creative experiments then anything else. Also has a small strange gold amulet which he keeps hidden. Also has three jars of water, or sometimes a red liquid with a high percentage of water within it.
Description: Having becoming a mage since the ceremony in his childhood, Gursel has had a natural atunement with water over any other of the elements. While he learned and progressed quickly, his boredom with that style of life rose as well, always trying new and creative methods of using his powers, something that was not readily encouraged. This eventually resulted in him leaving the safety of his homelands to explore the new islands, the tales of them intriguing him, and hoping to find secrets or knowledge that none of the other Itzu know. He has explored the Islands for some time now, and has yet to find anything of interest
Appearance:
http://public5.tektek.org/img/av/1008/d14/0416/8905383.png
As is almost a given of all Itzu, Gursel has the same white skin as most of his kind, while his eyes are of the piercing green variety. His hair is a dark navy blue colour, almost black in some places and is somewhat long, as a result of is dismissal of its importance. His clothing for the most part is also mostly blue or white, except when travelling through large parts of muddy or dust parts of islands, at which he normally wears very dark clothing. His staff normally hangs by his side, hidden behind a cloak, a piece of clothing he always likes to wear, and his hands are normally covered by studded leather gloves.
Psychological: Much like the element he controls, Gursel is calm and accepting, preferring to flow around problems rather than destroy or annihilate obstacles in his path. For the most part he is quite happy to be at the back of a conversation, observing a situation and only providing information when he believes it is relevant. While slow to anger, and also very forgiving, once angered he is very brutal and efficient in extracting his revenge, not above using exceedingly overwhelming force. Due to the way his mind works, he will very rarely take the common approach to a problem and if given the chance will attempt to come up with a different solution. Gursel very rarely leaves a last impression on people, much prefering that people do not remember him but while working with someone he will stay loyal providing they do not cross a moral event horizon or attempt a tactic that is bound to be suicidal. He is very unlikely to help you if he doesn't know you.

Since Love and Kyuu wanted me to join them as well, I made a second character XD
Character Sheet:
Name: Artemis
Gender: Female
Age: 21 in human years (~43 in Itzu years?)
Race: Itzu
Faction: Fletcher of Sutilas
Weapon: Bow and arrows
Inventory: Arrows, equipment for making arrows, dagger used for a tool or weapon, sewing kit all kept in a bag.
Description: Artemis was talented with a bow and arrow since she learnt to hold one, so from a young age she joined the fletchers in the forest and excelled. After graduating as a fully fledged Fletcher, she wanted only peace and solice and so left the Urun lands by herself and sailed to a new land to live alone and to find enlightenment. This new island she has resided on would later be known as Tepidus by explorers. Living by herself has allowed her to hone her skills to an extremely high standard. She also has a small 'pet' bird that she handraised after it fell out of its nest as a chick, and usually resides sitting on her head.
Appearance: http://public5.tektek.org/img/av/1008/d13/0505/40c8444.png
Artemis is a wild looking Itzu with extremely long white hair that drags on the ground and as a result gets rather dirty and looks blackish. She has piercing green eyes, and wears a lot of green to blend with the forest, even though her extremely white skin makes it hard to camouflage. As a result she relies a lot on stealth rather than camouflage to hunt.
Psychological:
Artemis is extremely quiet and always focused, just as much on her surroundings as her inner-self. Having lived alone for several years she is very independent and relies solely on herself for pretty much everything. Always being a loner she feels awkward in social situations and even more so because of living by herself. She is kind and generous of heart, but she lacks empathy since living by herself has reduced her emotions somewhat, so she is somewhat a sociopath in many respects. However she would never intentionally hurt someone without good reason.

Bio: Known as the runt of his tribe Dmitri was ridiculed and picked on as a child, but all that did was make him into a tougher adult. When he matured he joined his fellow tribesman's raiding parties. He'd raided many a village and killed many a man, until a most recent raid on a small village near the coast. His leader had commanded him to kill a child. Dmitri refused stating that he didn't wish to kill a defenseless child when there were many stronger men still left to kill. So instead his leader swung his sword down on the boys head. Dmitri, having a weak spot for children, caught his leader's sword and threw it out of his hand. Outraged his leader banished him from the tribe. He stole a boat and went out to sea, he'd heard of the new lands and thought he could find a place there...

Name: Cadwalden ("Waldy")
Gender: Male
Age: 62 (Itzu yrs, would be about 31 as human)
Race: Itzu
Faction: Magi of Urun
Weapon: Gaia Staff
Inventory: Small flute, double-edged hand sickle, various seeds and dried berries, charcoal sticks and empty scrolls.
Description: If you would ask five Itzu magi at the academy how Cadwalden looks like, you'd probably get five different answers, but they'd all agree in one word: eccentric. First, the short and round magus could easily be mistaken for a human; only his telltale pointy ears and glowing green eyes show his true origin. Then, in stark contrast with many of his fancy-dressing peers, Cadwalden prefers practical and comfortable clothing: plain tunics and simple hemp robes with numerous pockets.
Even his chosen field of study screams 'odd'. While most magi lost themselves in the Arcane or set themselves ablaze with popular elements like Fire, Cadwalden specialized himself in the art of Nature summoning, one of the least known fields of magic.
Only a few know the reason behind these seemingly odd choices. At an early age, Cadwalden became a member of a small obscure society called the Traditionalists. The group is disillusioned about the modern advances of the Itzu, and seeks to preserve and restore the values and traditions they had aeons ago, before the Itzu left the forests and abandoned their Elvish lifestyle. The group believes that the key to the lost values lies in the knowledge of nature.
When the Traditionalists got word of the new islands, they saw a great opportunity to enhance their knowledge about unseen and unspoiled nature - a rarity in modern Urun. So, they sent out a number of explorers to investigate. Despite his young age, Cadwalden became one of the chosen few due to his vast traveling experience, high intelligence and unique Nature summoning skill. His destination, Tepidus, looked like it was just made for such skills.
Personality:
Like many scholars, Cadwalden is quiet and observant, perhaps even too quiet. His dislike towards unnecessary noise and meaningless chitchat set him apart from peers early on. That isolation was helpful in many ways, but at times he suffers from loneliness, and he secretly yearns for someone to share his life with. His few chosen friends at the Traditionalists are not that close. As such, he welcomes any choice to travel to distant lands, a temporary refuge from the loneliness.

Race: Itzu
Faction: Magi of Urun
Weapon: A small wand with a mainly red orb attached too it, but has swirling colors along with it.
Inventory: A tank-top, shorts, and sturdy sandals. Carries a small back-pack on his back for storage.
Description: While his body is aging, this Itzu is stilled filled with energy and very bolting man. As a mage he tempers a bit too far into elemental magics learning spells that a very old Itzu, or none usually learn. He is very intelligent in his favored element, but limited on the others. Zaine went to Frigus to temper with the snowy island and do what he wants.

I just have a few questions about your sheet MrGiggles. What do you mean by bolting? Do you mean fast or agile? Also, what is his favored element? Otherwise, I don't see why you can't join. Is it just me or is this RP going to be much, much bigger that BIW ever was? I just hope it doesn't fall to inactivity like BIW did.

He's going to be a fire magi, also I don't really think it matters what he meant by bolting.
As for the question, this isn't the OOC thread. Go there.

bolting in this context would probably read as 'attractive' (just as a similar word, the meanings are slightly different but that's the basic jist of it)

Once she was the age of 18 she was given a choice, to dual the presiding bandit cheif and get freedom to leave or work for them as a slave. She chose to fight the bandit cheif.

She started walking toward her hometown and along the way stole what she needed to get by. One day a wealthy man came past her and he her dirty and hungry. He told her to get in the carriage and everything would be alright.
