Sparks in the Dark

Postby mastersquirrel » Mon Feb 26, 2007 7:24 pm

Long ago, an ancient people named the Ae'er Lon were at the epitome of their civilization. They were a loving people, wise beyond their years, blessed with abilities to be used for the benefit of all. Healing, protection, and many more abilities were granted them, along with their closeness and love of the one true God.

However, many years ago, this race met a tragic end by the hands of one of its own. A grave darkness destroyed everyone of that race. Though they were destroyed, their legacy lived on in those that they had encountered in their travels. The stories of the race were not forgotten, but eventually they were cast aside as myth.

But now, the darkness that consumed the Ae'er Lon has set out again. What is its goal and what form has it taken, both are unknown. But when the time comes, will there be anyone to stand and shine a light?

"Darkness is merely the absence of light. Even a small spark will cut through the darkest night."

----------

The story behind this RP actually came from the RP Facing Fears, formerly known as "The Goof Off RPG". The premise of this RP is simple, you create a character in this world, and you essentially contribute to the story. The things that you do must be reasonable of course, and you are not allowed to just randomly pull things out of the clear blue sky.

Ground-Rules:

-Your character ideas must be submitted to, and approved by, me. I'm pretty lenient, and I really like to see what people will do with their characters. I would suggest that you stick to the normal races of this realm (humans and furries), however if you really want to have a character of another race I will have an open mind about it, but I can't garauntee anything.

-You may control more than one character, however I ask that you limit yourself. You will also be in control of any NPC that you introduce, especially those that have something to do with your past.

-Be serious. And I don't mean that your character's personality must be serious. I mean take the RP seriously.

-For the love of all that is good please write in complete and legible sentences. You can consider this grammer and writing practice. ;)

-Have fun! Or else... :)


Note on races: It is possible for your character to be half one race and half another. For example, my character is half human, half wolf furry. Understand that if a character is a half-breed, only one of the races will be visible under normal circumstances. In other words, my character looks like a normal human, but is in fact a half-breed. Most people won't be able to tell if someone's a half breed, so keep that in mind. (There are some groups of people in this realm don't like certain races. Even more dislike half-breeds)

There are also many humans who don't like the furries, and vice versa. This will crop up during the story.


Character Format Sheet
Name:
Gender:
Age:
Race:
Height:
Hair/Fur Color:
Eye Color:
Fighting Style:
[weapons, martial arts, no guns please]
Abilities: [healing, protection, speed, etc. I'll inform you if an ability you choose will not work.]
Personality: [What kind of person is this character?]
Back Story: [Tell a few things about their past (optional)]

Please note that you MUST send me your character sheet via PM and reveive the okay BEFORE you post it! Also note that you may choose to omit certain parts of your character sheet, such as their past, abilities, and if they are half one race half another.. This is basically to make the story be a little more interesting.

Remember to PM me your character(s) BEFORE you go posting them! Thank you!

____________


And now, for my character-

Name: Adrian (doesn't tell anyone his last name)
Gender: Male
Age: 20
Race: Human/Wolf Furry (In human form under normal circumstances)
Height: 6'0" (athletic build, kind of skinny)
Hair/Fur Color: Dark Brown
Eye Color: Very light gray (he's blind)
Fighting Style: Martial Arts, uses kicks prominently but is effective both at kicking and punching
Abilities: Despite being blind, he can still "see" in a sense (see Back Story). His other senses are very heightened. If not for the vacant eyes, you would probably swear he could see. His reflexes are very good, and his physical strength is higher than that of a normal man. He really enjoys playing chess.
Personality: Very calm and collected. Tries to be friendly with everyone he meets. Doesn't care to talk about his or other peoples' pasts. Is very defending of his friends.
Back Story: He doesn't talk about it, though rumor has it that the reason he can "see" though he's blind is because he can sense vibrations in the ground, but no one is sure. Not much else is known about him except that he enjoys wandering around from town to town and visiting their pubs.

Name: ???

Gender: Male

Race: One of the only Kaldrean Felicians left. That is, a
human with cat-like features.

Height: 6' 2"

Hair/Fur Color: White hair, Black fur on forearms, legs
from the knees down, ears, and tail (white on the tip).

Skin color: Brown.

Eye Color: Yellow

Fighting Style: Improvised, with strong dependance on the ability to think in tight situations.

Resembles martial arts at times, sometimes it does not.

Weapon: Experimental sword from the government. It's obviously too big and annoying to carry on one's back, so it's able to be called into one's hand, and made to disappear when not in combat. Has more uses than may appear to the eye. It works with the salts and electrical charges in the user's body, rather than a battery, so it will never run out of power. Because this works with the body, one may be able to call 2 swords, one in each hand, if that person's able and willing to use that much energy at once.

Abilities: Whatever he can make the elements around him into.

Speed.

Cannot heal or use any other kind of magic.

Personality: The happy personality that he's clinged to for so long has finally begun to escape him.

Back Story: ???

This character will make his entrance in the RP whenever the characters enter the first desert of the RPG.

Note, This character is from another world. A world that's like our world's present time.
had enough.

Oh, wow. I almost forgot about this one ^^;;
We have 5 characters in this so far, right? That seems like a good number to me, but you could wait for a couple more if you wanted to.

Actually one other person contacted me about joining up. I'll wait for them to submit their character before I decide whether to start or not.

Thank you all for your patience.

Here I am. I hope this is okay. Also, I would have sent this to you via PM first, but something's going on with the computer as usual. If there's any changes that need changing, I have no problem in doing so.

Name: Yashik
Gender: Male
Age: 25
Race: Marnog Dragon
Height: 6'5 in Human form, 7'7 in Marnog form

Appearance
Human form: Short jet black hair, blue eyes, lean build. Wears a blue cloth shirt, dark pants, a dark cloak, and dark sandal-like shoes. Also wears silver bracelets, anklets, a choker, and two silver earrings on the left ear.
Marnog form: See pic below. Black scales, blue under scales, blue wings, yellow eyes. Wears silver bracelets, anklets, a choker, and two silver earrings on the left ear.

Fighting Style: Carries no weapons. Uses hand-to-hand combat or a ranged fire attack.
Abilities: Limited fire breathing and flight in Marnog form. Also the ability to transform into a human or back into a dragon.

Personality: In general, Yashik is a very charming and clever individual. He has a lust for treasure or anything shiny, which is typical of the dragon race. So, it is very difficult for him to keep his eye off of anything valuable and considers this to be his #1 weakness.

Back Story: Yashik is from a clan of dragons called the Marnog. After leaving his peaceful clan he began to live with humans as one of them. However, stealing precious items and other valuables has earned Yashik the reputation of a thief and a high bounty on his head. He has never been caught.

Other Information: Little is known about the Marnog dragons. Smaller than typical dragons and just a bit taller than humans, they prefer living in groups or sometimes with humans. Unlike the much larger dragons, Marnogs prefer to wear their wealth instead of hoarding them in caves or caverns. There is only one way to determine wether the individual is a Marnog or Human: when in Human form and angered, Marnogs tend to forget their disguise and growl or snarl fiercely in a very dragon-like voice.

Of course I remember you Chibi! Are you looking to join up at the last minute or are ya just saying 'hi'?

As a note to everyone, I'll send the PM to an admin Friday May the 4th. This way I don't have to worry about the RP until after all my final exams are over. Gotta make sure I pull a 3.0 for the semester after all.

Well you still have almost 2 weeks to decide so there's no rush. And don't feel pressured to join if you have other things taking up your time.

I meant to clarify this issue about how long it's been since the last one. I considered 200 years at first, but didn't put it down because I wasn't sure. I decided that was a bit too long. This story starts around 100 years after the Facing Fears adventure ended.

Now for the issue of whether your character would be grandchild or great-grandchild. If we assume that the character is a direct descendant of the first born of Miu and her children, and we assume that each of them had their first child somewhere from age 25 to 29 then that would mean that your new character would most likely be Miu's great-grand daughter.

You might want to take that into account too Jack. As for those of you making completely new characters, the time change wouldn't affect you.

As for introducing a young wolf furry, submit the idea to me via PM and I'll consider it. :)
