Wizard Tears OOC
by Immortal Fri Aug 21, 2009 11:49 am
In a world way before ours or May I say other then ours, there was a world. A world of knowledge and magic. The time was peaceful and five kingdoms lived in harmony with each other (you will learn about all the kingdoms as the story goes). Then for no particular reason at all, one empress desired more then she could have. She decided to go out on a war to dominate the world...and in that fight she won and conquered that world creating a new single Empire. She convinced the people that her goal is a nobel and divine one, that all she wants is peace and harmony in the world thus many people accepted the coming of the new Empire. The only thing that she allowed is that only an empress will rule, only a female can rule. They say she cast the world into a dark shadow, masked as a divine cause, and those after her are no exception, but no one is sure if it really was just a lie or if she really had a greater good on her mind.
Long time after that story was forgotten in the folds of time, its our time. Only one thing remained and that is the part that the empresses rule the world. Many organisations, made out of rebels and people who no longer tolerated the Empire, formed and devoted themselves to bring back the five kingdoms and what they believe is the true peace. While others set to persue their own personal goals.
So far for the plot.

There are four factions that you can be in
Races
Class
Little about this world
Character Template
Name: (Would be nice to have one though even a nickname counts)
Age: (Try to be reasonable.)
Race:
Class:
Where you stand: (Empire, Eve Awakening, Dawn of Era, just someone)
Rank: (if you have one)
Appearance: (Written or a picture…never really cared)
Personality:
Bio:(Everyone was born/created/whatever so even you should have a life story no matter how trivial it is
)
A word of wisdom:
I consider myself really adaptable so one could say this is mostly free-style based. (though I have a idea or two on how things might go).
The Rp is a mystery...yes, all the better for you to be creative and show others what you´re made of. Of caurse you will learn more about this world (what are the former 5 kingdoms, what kind of magic items there are and so on) even from my NPCs posts, so that might give you more working material if you´ll need.
If something is unclear do tell and I´ll make sure to help to the best of my abilities.
(Disclaminer: Some credits for this RP go to my friend. Thx mate, wherever you are)
- Spoiler:
- The Empire
Any Nobel, solider and the people under them say, they want to gain peace in the world and wont stop at nothing to gain it. To this group belongs almost everyone except the ones in the resistances of EA and DoE. You can choose to have any rank in the army and even people that are not in the army but they want to help the empire in some way.
Eve Awakening
An organization that wants the empire down and to hang all people related to the royalty. Their methods are terrorism and power. They are larger then Dawn of Era by far. They are like a little army (the org. has ranks and you can choose almost any rank).
The ranks for EA and the Empire are almost the same and they go like this:
a. The leader (for EA) - is a hard right (politically) -NPC
b. High counselor - the one that help the empress the leader of EA to decide what to do.
c. General - second in commend and control the army as he want unless he was given an order from above also the generals helps make the decisions (the generals in the Empire can't betray the Empress because of their deep belief in the ideals of the empire).
d. Captain - the Captain is a solider that has proven himself on the battlefiled or on a high risk mission. And on few occasions its been heard that a Capitan has the same power (strength and magic) with the generals.
e. Squad leader - solider that got promoted
f. Soldier - normal solider
The ranks don't say how powerful one is (beside the general, you need to have some power to be one, most of the time). You can be a normal solider and be as powerful as the Captain.
Dawn of Era
A group of people that want to do the same as EA but do not want to use terror for this. They are much more mysterious and more hard to find. Their main goal is to take down the royalty but they do not want to kill innocent people on the way. They achieve their goals by secret mission and low casualty assasinations. Also almost evrey one in DoE is not just a brainless solider that will follow orders like a robot but a more sofisticated individual.
a. Leader - well the leader in DoE is smart and also powerful. -NPC
b. Second in commend - help the leader make the decisions.
c. Spy - an elite group that was made and trained very hard to be able to do high risk mission and gather info from the Empire and sometimes from EA. The spy will do assassinations + gathering information.
d. Commando - The elite fighting force of the DoE, these units favore strength and fighting ability over stealth. All have been proven capable fighters, so they're generally used for large-scale attacks or taking care of stronger enemies.
e. Normal solider - they act as guards or for easy missions and are also the first step to turning into either a commando or a spy.
The Empire and EA also have spies but not as well trained as the ones in DoE.
None of the above
You are free to do what you want and to help who you want but later on it's a 100% that you will join one of them.
Races
- Spoiler:
- Human
Normal in all ways. Yet they have highest control over destructive magic (Fire, frost, air, water, death...etc) hand to hand combat and most of the weaponry there is.
Elves
Much more nimble and have better hearing and eye sight from the humans most of the elves will be able to do magic the magic their good at is healing and power ups magic (improve speed improve sight etc etc)...very good with bows and daggers.
Half Elf
They have better hearing eye sight and they are more nimble then humans but the loose to normal elves in all of that since they are a combination of human and elf they can use also most of the weaponry and the excel in summons and materializeing weapons and other things.
Fairies
Small creatures, at largest they grow to the size of a full grown mans hand. They don't have any kind of melee attack but they do excel in most forms of magic but the best one is illusion and a special feet is the ability to talk to the nature itself. Some have the ability to change into human-like form for a limited amount of time.
Orcs
A very war like race. They are green skinned and very strong. Usually there intelligence isn't that great but some Orcs are actually very smart. They tend to settle there differences with war but they have a code of honor which they always follow. There are about 8 feet tall.
Half Orcs
Half Orcs are half Orcs and half humans. They are treated pretty badly but they are pretty strong and fast. They look like humans expect they are much bigger and are seven feet tall. They usually are used to send messages between humans and orcs during times of war. They tend to live in exile.
Tiefling
These are ordinary people who are descended from demons, they usually bear ome sort of physical trait that resembles their kind e.g. horns, hoofed feet, tail, wings. They are usually treated with suspiciona nd hatred due to their "dark ancestry" Sometimes this can lead to violence, to avoid this tieflins are usually tought froma young age how to survive and avoid being seen, because of this they can make excelent thieves or infiltrators. A tieflings eyesight is unique because it does not suffer while it is dark. Just because a tiefling is descended from darkness does not gaurantee that they will be evil...Its just that enough turn that way due to their harsh treatment that the steryotype tends to stick.
Aasimar
These are ordinary people who are descended from a heavenly source. They usually have wings like an angels they tend to be treated better than tieflings. Their wings allow them to fly and they naturally have an aptitude for healing others with magic to an extent that they do not require a spell incantation for some healing spells.
Mithrii
These beings are half human and half cat. They have quick reflexes and they are almost as fast as elves. They also can use magic, they are skilled in destructive arts. Though there magic may not be as strong as a humans, the Mithrii still have magic that can be hard to deal with. They are also very intuned with nature. This race has been accepted into society while some of the others haven't. Mithrii are experienced in long range weapons such as the bow. Also they can use the spear very welll!
Dragon Disciples
Dragon halfs usually live in communities known as "temples". All members of the clan are equal exept for the elder which is a dragon. All dragon halfs have these in common: they begin looking like regular humans, their hair and eye colour will be differ depending on the type of dragon they are descended from and they will all learn at some point a breath attack that will again differ depending on the type of dragon they are descended from.
Their lifecycle is different from a humans because once they are 21 they appear to stop growing but over time they will become more and more draconic. The following is the usual cycle of their transformation It usually takes a long time for each stage to come around (they may earn minor spells or skills between each stage).
1) For the first 12 years of their life they will appear totally human.
2) When they turn twelve their muscular structur will rapidly change this is a dangerous process which many children do not survive, this is to prepare the childs body for the more severe changes that are going to happen later in life.
3) When they turn 13 their eyes will become like a dragons (their eye pigmentation will also change to be the same as their dragon ancestors.
4) When they turn 20 they will grow wings on their back.
5) Some dragon disciples grow a tail when they reach 25 though this does not allways happen.
6) When they turn 40 they will gain a breath based ability that will vary depending on the dragon they are descended from (White dragon disciples will get healing breath while red ones will get fire breath).
7) At 90 their body will become scale like (it will look normal unless you are very close).
The individual temples all have different allegancies. Some serve the empire while others are neutral or against the empire. An average dragon disciple and an average human would be one pair both in speed and power.
Witch Hunter
Witch Hunters hate all magic users. They are usually born with the intense hatred of mages and other magic users. Ironically, they have thier own type of magic called Witch Hunt, which strength increases depending on the person's hatred of magic users. They live in a clan that all hate magic user and if a person in the clan can't use Witch Hunt, they are exiled or killed because they are believed to be sympathetic to magic users.Ranks in the clan depends on how strong you are. If a person tries to leave the clan, they are hunted down and killed. There are spies in every organization that try to convince the organization to help the Witch Hunters and thier cause. Their ultimate goal is to create a magic-free world.
The magic they can use is diffrent from witch hunter to witch hunter. The witch hunter uses any type of attack and magic for getting things done, and they might get slightly faster and stronger then normal humans when some magic is in use.
NOTE: Being a witch hunter is both a job and a class. You can't be a witch hunter and a mage or a warrior etc etc.
Class
- Spoiler:
- Magician
Mages are mostly wise people but they are not that good at fighting since they train their minds more than their body. They need time to cast their spells properly but they are fairly strong if they manage to do so.
Warrior
The warrior is the ideal close combat fighter. They are very strong and resistant and can carry weapons much heavier then others. They prefere melee weaponry with which they can fight like no other, though they are no strangers to range weapons as well.
Rogue
The art of steel and camouflage. They are better with daggers and shorts swords than heavy weaponry and prefere ambushes and traps to face-to-face battles. (If you are a spy that doesn't mean you have to be a rogue. It's just that you will be able to steel things better and hide more effectivelly. That´s all).
Marksman
Their use of range weapons is extraordinary. They can shoot a target dead center from far away (with the proper weapon and skill) but unlike warriors they are not that good at hand-to-hand combat but they can take care of themselves if really necessary.
Other?
Of caurse, there are thos who don´t like to chose from the pre-set list. Those are free to chose any other class they think they like but only after consulting me first! (I will be mostly generous but even I won´t tolerate some things =D)
But think well what kind of class will fit the best for your rank (If you´ll have one that is =) ).
Little about this world
- Spoiler:
- DoE is a secret organization...which means that a normal person on the street won't even know what or who DoE is. Also EA don't want to be find out as easily as well. So keep that in mind.
Also, if you do belong to EA or DoE you DONT want to get caught by the Empire. So that's why a normal sane person from EA or DoE won't wear or do something that would make them stand out too much.
Another thing, EA doesn't hate DoE or the opposite. Each just don't like the other organization's main idea or philosophy.
EA are not cold blooded killers that will kill anyone just because they can. They need to have a reason for their terror. You must agree that if you put a bomb in the market to kill innocent people, it won't do much for EA just get them hated by the people and they don't want that (probably). What EA can do is to put a bomb or attack an Empire post/money wagon. Because the main idea is to attack the Empire and not the people. Although, if an innocent people get in the way, it won't stop them.
DoE won't kill someone important from the Empire if an innocent bystander MIGHT! get hurt. So in the most part even if there is a slight possibility for a bystander to get hurt, they will abort the mission.
This is a medieval world so no futuristic items.
Magic - Oh yes, the greatest problem of every fantasy based RP. What is it and how to use it ? Well, here magic is a part of everyday life but at the same time it isn´t something many are proud of. Mages exist and people known of them. Some want to be like them, others just don´t care and the rest are after their blood. Casting a spell takes time, it is even harder in battles since you need concentration which is scarce in a battle so mages are almost newer seen alone unless they are really really powerful(which none of you is at the start...where would be the fun in that ? =D ).
Different mages have different ways of casting their spells, like waving their hands or rhyming the incantation. It all depends on the individual. Some don´t even need to make a move or speak a word but they just imagine in their mind what spell they want to use, ofc. this also takes time like any other form its just considered more convinient.
