*I have been allowed to create a new character*

Name - Unknown
Nickname - Shadowlord
Apperance *Looks like a shadow in a rather large robe. His eyes sometimes beam red, however the shadow over his face is too strong to reveal, if his face has a form at all that is. Aside from the robe there is a black mist following him.

History: Some say it is a false myth, some swear they have seen him. Despite what people say this creature seems to be extremely strong, but never inflicts physical damage. Some of his victims are reported to have gone insane, mindless or too scared to even talk. He is said to be able to visit other in their dreams, but at some times even turn dreams into reality. It is unknown if he is immortal, or if he even can communicate. Perhaps he is a fragement of everyones deepest fear? It is hard to understand him, however he bears a message. His mouth never utters a word, but he speaks to the mind of those who hear him with a language they do not know, but still can understand.

[Dante]

OOC: Given that my characters seem to be having difficulty interacting with the RP from the other side of the grave I am going to create a pair of new characters to have fun with… of course some might be old characters in disguise, or maybe I’m just throwing out a red herring… ya never know mwah ha ha ha!

National Origin: The Ancients
Character Name: Rei Jikari
Race: Human
Apparent Age: 17
Gender: Male

Physical Description: Has red hair in a style rather similar to Genki’s, but his ears are smaller and he lacks a tail. All the same, he has a deep concern for others. His clothing consists of loosely fitting shirt and shorts that allow him ease in maneuverability, but they stand up remarkably well to attacks from the elements and even minor gun shot. He wields a pair of swords known as the rose blades and wears a dull dark-grey amulet of a wolf’s head around his neck on a thin glowing thread, the amulet glows darkly.

History: Rei casts a unique shadow on the history of this world after crossing a fine line that theoretically shouldn’t even exist in story purposes… or that’s at least true if you believe his word, his claim, to be of the blood of the Ancients, the lost race of men that Ryuken once hypothesized to have existed long ago. If there is any truth to his story however, then it certainly means that Ryuken may have been on to something before falling victim to the attacks of the Dn’I at Myra De Lycia. However, Rei tells us little more and instead acts as one seeking to fit in and learn how to adapt to the various societies of the world rather than giving us vast amounts of information.

Nation: Ecclipxa (Currently formed on the island of Myra De Lycia)
Character Name: Epita
Race: Human – Aikon Mix
Apparent Age: 15
Gender: Male

Physical Description: The young leader of the nation of Ecclipxa, Epita is very quiet and reserved. He has silver almost translucent hair, but lots of it so that one can’t see his head beneath it and his eyes gleam a brilliant red orange. His skin is somewhat different then most Aikon because of his Human-Aikon heritage, that is to say that its less translucent and so he can spend more time in the sun.

History: Epita comes from the aikon villages that lived in the hills surrounding the Organization but whose existence were over-shadowed by the Organizations rule over the region. With their destruction however, many of the villagers were killed and in this difficult time of pain and strife, Epita came to power beneath the decisions of the mysterious mountain Aikon council. All the same, his rule is more for show and has little power and is able to travel about given that he sees his position as mostly an image, suggesting that the real power lies with the council… he does however smile at this and suggests that he has his own dark intentions of cutting off the council and controlling his own nation one day. He even claims to have known Zadok prior to the Organizations destruction, and ironically is gifted with the lack of aging the other world leaders experienced, almost as though Zadok knew the boy would one day take this position shortly before his demise. In many ways, he is also still young and acts this out by playing pranks on the council members using the other side of the Aikon arts, the dark symbolic school of thought similar to those ideas and concepts that form the basis of the Compassionate Empire. In fact, despite its small size, the Aikon nation of Ecclipxa claims that their ancestoral home does indeed merge with those lands that once made up the original Compassionate Empire and their current home to the north and many of their myths bare a stark resemblance to the shadow Creatures Raven employed… as such it is likely that they did at least have contact with those lands long ago.

OOC: And there ya go, mwah ha ha ha hah!!! Now I has fun…

[~darkelfgirl~]

OOC: I probably should've done this before including this character....



Name: Galena Mirrior
Race: Human
Apparent Age: 25
Gender: Female

Physical Description: Clad in a crimson robe with a crimson headdress, Galena has dark red hair and an unusual dark red eye. The other is dark brown. She wears red lipstick and red rings, and she has red, long nails (you can tell that's her favorite color).

History: Unknown origin. She is the mysterious advisor and mentor of Lord Iridion, whom he met at the Edge of the World.

[Jingo Jaden]

Just for fun effects, I want to tell you who some of the characters remind me of. Now this is just my opinion and in some ways the characters might be very different. This is basicly a just for fun run XD

Mirzen - Aragon *Lotr*

Reason - Got the honor, attitude and loyalty of a true warrior.



Lunord - Kefka. *FF6*

He likes to kill, he seems trigger happy with his magic and defidently has a noticeable attitude. Probably not the clotheing image however.



Ryuken - Raoh *Fist of the north star*

I made Ryuken and wanted him to play by some of Raoh's traits, but still makeing my own character.



Komai - Rio from Spiral/Jeane from no more heros.

Ok, neither might be a nation ruler, but both are tricky and manipulative.



Zohar - Archaon *Warhammer*

This one is hard to read, but the presence and personality...... Something just pointed towards Archaon



Genki - Zidane *FF9*

Lower class, cool attitude and mostly a nice character. It was the first character that popped to mind here.

[~darkelfgirl~]

I love LOTR. Maybe that's why my characters are similar to those
Aragorn is so cool.

[Peanut]

I would just like to mention that that picture...is really not how I envisioned Zohar...wait...ok, maybe it would fit when he went all berserk...ok yeah it fits...I agree with everything else as well...and Zidane actually looks like Genki as well...scarry...

[~darkelfgirl~]

Ok...I'm submitting another character for plot's sake.


National Origin: Technically from New Sharakar, but a descendant of the exiled Silvanians.
Name: Tarah Silvana
Race: Human-neko hybrid
Apparent Age: 18
Gender: Female

Physical Description: 5' 4'' ; She has jet black hair (in a high ponytail), white ears and tail, and green feral eyes. She wears unusual clothes for this world--a black tank top and black balloonish pants with combat boots.

History: Great-grand niece of Ayrus Silvana, Tarah deserted her people and their ideologies (including the anti-Shadowtail attitude). She wishes to restore New Sharakar by finding exiled Mirzen and restoring his rule.
She travels alone, her multi-barreled silver machine (?) pistol her only weapon, and nekojin fighting arts her only art. She is rather persuasive and intelligent beyond her years.

[Taliesin]

Hello, and welcome to N&S, the RP soon to be ruled by yours truly. We hope you enjoy our many attractions, and find your stay here pleasant.

[Dante]

GM: Welcome to Nations and States Taran! We are currently in the begginings of a vast war that covers... well continents... don't ask me, but it seems like EVERY war that occurs in this game turns into a global conflict of some type. May I reccomend that Taran start a nation... given that all the other leaders generally have nations... even I have a nation at the time .

-Pascal

[Peanut]

Oh my a new player. Hi, and welcome to Of Nations and States, if you need any information on Ninja Monkies (such as their techniques, society, etc...)...besides the GMs, I'm the guy. Anyway, welcome and I hope you enjoy yourself.

Edit: I might as well post my new characters...now...

Character: Seth
Race: Human
Description: He's about 6'0, slender build, he always wears a mask that looks like someones face and a black cloak similar to those that the Invisible Hand use.
History: Seth is an enigma. Nobody knows anything about his past, where he came from, or why he wears a mask. He is relatively silent and appears to enjoy observing what's going on around him more then contributing. However he is determined to accomplish some mission and he seems to have some understanding of the world around him.
Powers/weapons: It appears that he has increased speed, agility, and strength. He also has a general knowledge of the Ninja Monkey Arcane Arts. He also now wields Judgement, a sword with unusual powers.

Character: Z
Race: Appears to be a Ninja Monkey...
Description:Taller and bulkier then your average Ninja Monkey. Similar to Seth, he wears the mask that looks like the face of an individual and an Invisible Hand cloak.
History: Who is the monkey behind the Mask? A saint? A madman? An actor? Your Mom? Only the Peanut knows and he ain't talking...
Powers/Weapons: An advanced understanding of the Ninja Monkey Arcane Arts (comes with being a former Invisible Hand member) and what appears to be unusually quick speed and agility.

[~darkelfgirl~]

Cool! Welcome Taran! ^_^

[Taran]

How do I start a nation?

[Dante]

Hmm... good point there really wasn't a nation version of the character startup sheet... well I guess the best way about this is to just start the RP off and proceed to start a revolution somewheres... in fact you can choose to cause a revolt on any territory on the map! See the great library for a map of the world and just send me a number from that map, that will be where your character will start out at and it will also serve as the starting point for your nation... a few places are semi-restricted mostly because a player already occupies that terrritory and that same player(s) have only one territory to their name (your nation respawns after it gets deepfried if you want it too in most cases XD.

-Pascal

[Dante]

Am I the only one who wonders why Raoh has the big dipper behind him? Or... given its size, maybe its the little dipper Ursa Minor! (They look more like beavers then bears though ).

[Taliesin]

Taran Wrath sounds suspiciously like Seran Wrap. Coincidence? I think not.

[Peanut]

Am I the only one who wonders why Raoh has the big dipper behind him? Or... given its size, maybe its the little dipper Ursa Minor! (They look more like beavers then bears though ).

The series is called "Fist of the North Star"...I'm guessing that has something to do with it...

[Jingo Jaden]

The series is called "Fist of the North Star"...I'm guessing that has something to do with it...

Yeah, it is part of the plot. The big dipper sort of represent the 7 points of movement a man has in that series. Kenshiro got that many scar marks on his chest too.

[Dante]

Wow... you know your a nerd when you properly identify constellations within series you've never seen before O_O... although I must say that it looks much more like the little dipper then the big dipper given the proportionality of the stars .

[Jingo Jaden]

Here we go.

Name - Sly Smith
Nickname - The eye
Age - 47
Hair - Medium
Hair color - Brown.
Height - 6 feet.
Weight - 172 p

Accessories - A duel set of aura pistols. A dagger, a set of various types of venoms. A locksmith tool belt. A rope and some well hidden explosives.

History: Has no record of known relatives. He grew up in the tougher part of the Ken-Oh nation where he got his nickname because of his ability to spot the unknown. The reason this name came into light was his ability as a small kid to know other people's weaknesses, he could even spot them in a fight. He quickly gained respect, but also gained access to the Ken-Oh military school at the age of only 14. There he spent 4 years perfecting his art. After this he moved to New Shakar where he worked in the library for 2 years. He quickly gained knowledge on the world and everything from customs to trade routes. He then worked 5 years in the Ken-Oh as a security officer in a rather dangerous area. After this job he apparently had gotten much income due to 'happy' upper class citizens living in the area for his outstanding work even though it is rumored that nearly half of them where killed for refusing to 'sponsor' his way of business. After this he moved on to the compassionate empire where he studied various, but disclosed classes. He was also part of Vandor's medical elite after his days of study was over. After gaining both medical and mechanical skills he decided to approach Kyr. Kyr, who was not expecting his arrival later found out that most of the elite bodyguards where either bribed, intimidated or killed upon Sly's arrival. After careful consideration Kyr gave Sly the position as the nations lead investigator and informant. He now answers to Kyr directly.

Personality - A shady, intimidating, but also quite smart detective. He leaves no stone unturned and leaves no trace of his presence. If he has done something dirty, there will only at most be a rumor left to confirm this. His ties to high political powers in every nation, his massive wealth, his experienced and effective team plus his reputation tends to always find the pressure point in whoever he is interrogating for information. To those who refuse to work with him, unfortunate things tend to happen to them and their families. He is a shameless person who takes joy in bringing suffering to others when he can. He has cracked the toughest of criminals, the smartest of investors and the most influential of politicians. Now, he is set to move closer to the main stage.

[USSRGirl]

Oh man! I haven't checked this thread in so long that I missed laughing my head off at JM's character parallels! XD (Mirzen = Aragorn for sure! And Genki/Zidane is pure genius. <3)

Welcome aboard Amzi! If you're looking for allies, the Free Kingdom is the place to go!

[Peanut]

Welcome Amzi, approval of your character and race should be coming soon. We're currently going through a temporary "changing of the guard." Hopefully we'll have your country logged into IMAGE soon but it might take some more time.

[Dante]

or maybe not... hopefully not . Ahem, approved.
