I started planning an RP a year ago, but decided not to follow through with it since I was uncertain whether I would be able to efficiently run one. And simply because I didn't want to devote myself to such a project. After thinking it over, I've decided that I may as well give this a shot. Unlike common RP's this RP will have an established setting (world) based loosely around an FE world. How the players interact with said world and what choices they make is ultimately up to them. I have got a general outline of how things will flow planned, but am more then willing to adapt the plot to the RP'ers and their actions.

At present this thread will serve as an incomplete information thread for me to store my ideas. I would appreciate any feedback or suggestions people are willing to give at this early stages.

Opening Post: If you've read "The World" you have a pretty good grasp on the worlds situation already (hopefully). The RP will start in Fort Talgusta, where characters may elect to be a soldier/volunteer from Crestia, or a mercenary under the employ of Crestia. Alternatively you could just wander around the fort, but you'll probably run out of things to do. There are two possible starting points. You may start in an adjacent city, or inside the Fort itself. If you have any questions or want to discuss anything, there is a place to address issues and questions here http://serenesforest...opic=22700&st=0

Name: Shizunai

Age: 29

Gender: Male

Occupation: Samurai/Monk

Weapons: Swords, specializes in katanas, bows

Affinity: Nature

Appearance: A man heavily scarred all over the place, on his hands, arms, legs, face and chest. He has short scruffy green hair and gentle blue eyes. Because of his appearance, he wears a fox mask and heavy samurai robes to cover his body.

Backstory: From the country of Izu, Shizunai was a loyal soldier and monk, trying to serve his liege the best he could. He worked his way up to be one of the generals in the army, having honed his swordsmanship and spiritual side. Unfortunately during battle, he was set aflame by a magician and remained somewhat scarred since. A man with a strong sense of justice, Shizunai disliked the treatment of women in his country and was infuriated when he heard of Crestia's attack and Izu not lifting a finger to help. Because of this, he deserted the army and joined up with Crestia, intent on helping them out. He is pursued by Izunian bounty hunters and soldiers for his crime.

Gender: Female

Weapons: Knives

She however, has underlying motives, hoping to steal the technology for herself and make her fortune. Stopping at nothing to achieve her goals, her masked emotions hide her true character. Stemming from an incident in her past, she has a deep fear of water, and can't stand to ride on a boat. Her expedition had recently run into a hitch, and knowing the correct palms to grease made her way north towards FOrt Talgust.

@Sage
Two minor issues.
Affinity: Wind is not an affinity, I assume you mean Nature?
Nation: "Izu" refers to the people from Izuna, Izuna is the nations name.

And being proficient in a bow and sword is fine. But I'm assuming the sword is your primary weapon, and the bow a secondary. Probably not as skilled with a bow as someone who's dedicated their life to only mastering one weapon.

Other then that, no issues really, Accepted.

@Psych
Likewise, Earth is not a selectable affinity
Other then that it looks great. Nice variety of characters we're developing :P

I'm working on Kieru right now. (My character) at to the dismay of a few of you, it's Kamilla XD Only this time she's acting her age :P

Excellent. Thanks. Yeah, the sword's his primary weapon, bow is something he's only passable at. Samurai use a variety of weapons.

And yay for Kamilla!

Name: Kieru
Age: 9
Gender: Female
Affinity: (Chaos)
Occupation: Healer
Weapons: None
Appearance: Posted Image
Background: Found in a state of starvation near the Yarvek estate, the nobles took pity on the girl and offered to feed her. An offer Kieru accepted with less then an acceptable amount of dignity. She remained with the Yarveks for a few weeks before she displayed a natural talent in healing. Not wanting to leech of the Yarvek family forever she accepted the Church's offer and was sent to the nearest church to work under the sisters there. Much to the sisters dismay she proved to be loud, rude and a prankster .

It wasn't long before Granford asked all Celists to return to Granford. While the entire church around her packed their things up and made for Granford, Kieru didn't really care about God or his rigtheousness and opted to remain behind. Despite her young age, she was forced to join the army as she was one of the few healers who had not left Crestian land. Unlike normal healers, Kieru doesn't require a staff to heal. Instead she is able to heal by covering the wound with her hands. Unfortunately she also has the ability to drain life force from another person. When applied to normal people it simply makes the victim more tired, draining the person of energy and will.

Name: Gerard (Jer-ARD)

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Affinity: Order... kind of. While his heart is in the right place he's noticed a tendency for his hands to be in the wrong place.

Occupation: Summoner

Weapons: None* Gerard lacks traditional weaponry on his person. Though he carries a small knife, it is more of a dinner/cooking tool than it is a actual combat measure. Instead, his 'weapon' is a small stone made of Granite that he carries about his neck. This stone grants him the ability to summon up the souls of certain creatures to do his fighting for him. Currently he has access to the ability to summon a hawk or a wolf, though this collection of monsters may grow as he becomes more powerful.

Appearance: Despite his unique ability to summon, Gerard is surprisingly plain-looking. Instead of the tell-tale black robes of a shaman or necromancer, Gerard wears simple and common travelers clothes. A shirt made of greyish-brown cotton (more from dust than actual dying) and a pair of simple pants are his only notable clothes. His hair, though unbound by a bandanna or hat or any other kind of headgear, is well combed and maintained. He has also gone through pains to ensure that he is clean-shaven. His wearly-looking green eyes complete the image of normalcy. At first glance, he seems like just a weary worker, except for the granite medallion hanging about his neck. Even this seems more like a common mages charm or knockoff bauble at first than anything else.

Background: Born in Tolmaeus, Gerard was not one off the lucky people to be born with innate magical talent. Stuck living within the capitol city with no where to go, he was pretty much a bum until, one day, a mage fell from the sky (actually the roof above him) and went 'SPLAT' right beside him. Hearing the shouts of guards, he did his duty as a proper citizen and told them what he knew (namely 'A mage fell from the sky and went 'Splat!'). Later that night, he 'found' a stone pendent with runes carved into the sides hiding away in his pocket. Though he was happy at his new fortune, he decided it wouldn't be wise to turn the stone in to the authorities on the off-chance they recognized him from earlier. So, eager to pawn the stone off away from the prying eyes of the Academy, he left home for Talgusta. After all, those Granfordian people were traitors! Right?

Is a wyvern knight acceptable?

That's what I was going to do in Astelaine's RP, which doesn't in fact seem to be a thing anymore.

EDIT: Never mind.

Name: Andra Lachesis
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Affinity: Nature (but more Wind, yo)
Occupation: Mercenary wyvern rider
Weapons: Lances and spears, knives
Appearance: Tall, spiky red hair, green eyes, medium build, long green coat
Background: A mercenary from Garius. He signed up as a men-at-arms of a nobleman in Crestia. However, the noble turned out to be extremely corrupt and cruel, and so he and a few other men-at-arms turned on their employer and left his army. Now works as a freelance mercenary along with an old comrade of his (CATZ's Ivan)


I can give more detail if you like.

It's a concept I've approved so it's acceptable. Affinity in my mind reflects personality, so if he intends to do "good" he goes under order. (Nature=Neutral). Though to be honest, I don't really care how you decide an affinity.

To clarify, if you want to make a "creative" character like Gerard, you should probably contact me first. At present Gerard can summon a wolf or hawk, but both are mainly for combat sake, and personally, I don't consider the wolf and hawk to be much stronger then an average soldier. Simultaenous summonings are not allowed. (one at a time) And I don't intend to give him many more types of spirits to summon. (3max)

I've allowed it since I want to see how creative people can get during the RP. I don't know how hawk/wolves are going to be creative but if it results in constant idiocy/godmoding, I'll just smash the damn granite stone and we'll all be happy. (bar Snowy). :P I doubt I'll end up smashing it, but I don't know Snowy too well... so..... XD

@Fush
A wyvern Knight... is not XD
A wyvern rider is. If you read "The World" The only nation which has wyverns is Garius (Gavotsk). And neither are an active military force. Since Garius is more a mercenary type nation.

You are welcome however to have a character who is the son on a Gavotskian Knight, who carried on the title. (50 years means you'd have to be Eltair old to have served under Gavotsk)

Name: Bullet

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Affinity: Chaos

Occupation: Mercenary

Weapons: Prefers a sword, but has basic training in most weapons sans magic. Also rarely carries around a set weapon. He prefers to use whatever he can get his hands on, be it a sword, axe, rock or cast-off spear handle.

Appearance: Posted Image

Background: Formerly part of a famous mercenary group based in Izuna Granford. However, most of the group were hunted down and killed by bounty hunters after the 20,000G on their heads. As the sole survivor, he is constantly hunted. While on the run, he found himself in Fort Talgusta, defending it.

@Camtech
While I suppose I don't mind, Izuna is mainly a Asian-esque nation, with a closed door policy (No outsiders). You'd also have to get past Garius and Grolvas Pass to get away (near impossible). Though I suppose the wyverns could have killed his comrades. Personally I think that you'd be better off basing your mercenary group in Crestia or Granford. I'd suggest the later since it gives you a reason to be fighting against Granford.

Name: Ivan
Age: Late 30's
Gender: Male
Affinity: Chaos
Occupation: Merc
Weapons: Sabre, longbow

Appearance: Tall, lean, somewhat weathered, shoulder-length dirty blonde hair, short black coat, plain clothes; not 3 sentences but oh well, I'm not big on jamming lots of big flowery adjectives into char descriptions to try and make them seem more "vivid" or w/e, let me know if there's anything you want specified further

Background: Ivan was born and raised among the common folk of Crestia in a small rural village; loyalty to the local noble family was instilled at an early age, and Ivan was always happy with his position as a lowly servant of a wise and worthy ruler. Once he came of age, Ivan decided to gain the skills necessary to defend the home he was so fond of. Since Crestia's military was notoriously incompetent, Ivan knew that this would require him to leave his home nation. He took up a sword and set off on a journey across the lands; he traveled while working as a mercenary, usually defending caravans from highwaymen and bandits. When he finally returned to his village, Ivan had become an experienced and competent fighter, and immediately joined the local guard as a personal retainer of the ruling nobles.

However, as time went on and Ivan grew older, he began to question his decisions. As a personal retainer of the noble family, he was able to more closely witness their activities, to see things that happened behind closed doors. He became aware of certain less-than-savory practices; the way that the nobles often favored their own or neglected the common people when it suited them, told lies to the people in order to maintain the illusion that they were fair and just rulers, and other such abuses of their power. Eventually Ivan couldn't put it out of mind anymore. He decided to abandon his job and leave the village which he had devoted most of his life to. Now well past his prime, disillusioned with Crestia, and burdened with a jaded view of life in general, Ivan has resumed his life as a traveling mercenary.

@Fush
I'm sorry >_< I only read one post with him in it. And that was several months ago XD
See what happens when I try to make references to RP's I'm not familiar with?

Andra is accepted, but I just wanted to ask if you plan to do what was done in LoAF, where the wyvern will be named and have certain "quirks" or whether you just plan to leave it as an obedient mount which gets occasionally mentioned?


@CATS
As with Fush's character, it conveys the meaning well enough. I just didn't want to see something like "Is tall" and things be left at that XD
Seems great, and adds more context to Fush's. Good to see some of the characters already know eachother. I get the feeling Phoenix will say something about taking the name "Ivan" but that's not important.

Yes, I said I didn't mind you being based in Izuna and had you added into the Characters list at the top of this page. (All characters who are accepted will be listed there).

@Starting this RP
I'm actually going to be horrible and leave this until tomorrow. I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm not in any hurry to get this thing started within the first few hours of opening signups. And for most, I assume it's nearly midnight. I've got more signups then I expected I'd get, so yes, this will start soon. (within the next 24 hours)

Well, he'll probably name it something so it comes when he calls it. And any animal has somewhat of a personality. It won't be a second character though, if that's what you're wondering.
