From Misfits to Rebels: A Twokinds RP (OOC, SIGN UP THREAD)

#1 Post by MainEventMan »

This is a story about friendship. A story about love (possibly :P), and a story about Rebellion. But mostly...it's a story about a loser wandering around in the woods, looking for even bigger losers to join his cause, and help him escape execution. Meet Jaden Kahl. A down on his luck Templar of Twenty-Three years who is wanted for crimes against the Empire. Since birth, he's never really understood why humans believe themselves to be superior to the Keidran. If anything, the Keidran were superior to humans! They were faster, stronger, their sense of smell was better, sure they couldn't naturally use magic, but magic was never something Jaden understood. Currently, a bounty is on his head for attempting to free the Keidran slaves that were in service for his own homestead. Now without a family, and a job, he's taken up being a fugitive. However, he prefers the term "Rebel."

The main objective of this RP is for Jaden to make it through the forests to find a port, and leave the main land, at least until the man hunt for him dies down. However, he won't be making this journey alone. This is where you guys come in! The basic outline is going to be like this: All the characters meet up, they travel the woods, they talk and learn more about each other, possibly becoming friends (or something more, for you hopeless romantics. :P), making it to a port town, and going out to sea. If you want to join, post a character sheet here! Looking for a group of 4-5. Come on down! I want there to be at least 4-5 people in this group, counting myself. Have at it!

CHARACTER SHEET:

Name: The name of your character
Age: The age of your character. Please state whether it is in Human/Basitin years, or Keidran years.
Species: The race of your character. Human, Basitin, or Tiger/Wolf/Fox/Dog/Mixed Keidran
Appearance: What does your character look like? Any distinguishing marks or scars?
Languages: What languages does your character know? English, Basitin, or Keidran. Please state how well they know this language(s).
Class: The class/occupation of your character
Weapon: What weapon(s) does your character use, if any?
Personality: A description of your character's personality, how do they think? What are their likes and dislikes?

EXAMPLE

Name: Jaden Kahl
Age: 23 (Human Years)
Species: Human
Appearance: Pale skin, with brown hair and blue eyes. No distinguishable marks, except a scar across his right eye, but that was from an accident while training in sword play.
Languages: Human, Broken Keidran (He knows Keidran, but not well enough to keep from letting human words slip in)
Class: Warrior/Fugitive
Weapon: A silver short sword.
Personality: Jaden is a generally joyful, albiet sarcastic person. He is normally in a good mood, but he tends to get a bit jerky when in a bad mood, or when something bad happens. Until then, usually he tries to lighten the mood of a bad situation with a sarcastic remark, or a joke. He doesn't do well in awkward situations, and sometimes tends to say the wrong thing without thinking.


SLOTS FILLED: 5/5


AMENDMENT: If you want the final slot, I recommend using a female Keidran character. Just for some diversity. We have four humans (counting myself, two male, two female, and one male Keidran, to give you an idea of how we currently stand. :P

STARTER IS UP!!!!!!

Centering an RP around a single character is something I haven't seen before. I will say that I hope everyone's characters have the chance to be involved and matter in the story, otherwise I don't think it will turn out well.

That being said, the premise is interesting. I'll put up a sheet soon. I want to go through the comic and make sure any sort of history I have planned doesn't step on any established lore.

How heavily are we going to involve the comic's storyline? Vaguely speaking, involving main canon characters in an RP ends poorly, since you have disagreements over characterization and actions taken.

Other characters are going to have a HEAVY influence in this story, so you don't have to worry about that. Also, I wasn't planning to put ANY canon characters in this. This is OUR story that takes place within the canon universe. The actual story will have little to no influence here.

Agreed. I think it would be best to avoid the main storyline altogether. Maybe make reference with rumors, but not involve it so heavily, and definitely no playing established characters.

Approved!
Name: Praxis of the Tundra Tribe
Age:12(Human years)
Species: Arctic Wolf Keidran
Appearance: As seen in this picture, Praxis has purely white fur, long, braided white hair, and a scar over his left eye. He is an average height(for Wolf keidran[6'3]). Not seen in the picture, he wears a necklace with mana crystals attached. He wears the clothing seen in the picture.
Languages: Low and High Keidran, enough human to communicate, and scraps of Basitin.
Class: Axeman/Magi. Was his tribe's leading long distance runner(once ran a total of 13 and a half miles, nonstop).
Weapon: He uses a large axe, iron stained with Templar blood. He also uses a longbow.
Miscellaneous: Praxis writes to his sister at least once a week. He has a small golden trinket of hers.
Personality: Praxis has a bit of a narrow minded view of the world: most humans are bad. Humans, by default, are bad. Only humans that help Keidran are good. Hurt bad humans. Help good humans. Kill human Templar. He very much enjoys running and swimming. He loves pastries, strangely enough. He doesn't like tormentors, like rapists, murderers, or thieves, of any species. He has no disposition towards Basitin.

Approved and all that jazz.

Appearance:
Standing at 5'7", Lisa actually owns and wears the cape seen in her profile picture as well as the eye patch. While the eyepatch is simple leather reinforced by metal, the cape's epaulette is actually two thick multi-layer pads of leather sandwiching a thin metal plate. The area around her upper torso also has a thin light mail layer weaved into the back of the cape to provide protection against arrows and slashes. To further compliment the protection her cape provides, she also wears a hardened leather chest plate under the cape to provide further protection against piercing attacks.

For clothing, she prefers to wear a loose grey short sleeved shirt, white camisole, well worn travelling pants, a belt with multiple pouches attached, and heavy black naval boots riveted metal plating over the foot and calves. The metal plates on the calves seem to have been installed more recently than the foot cover. However the foot plates are much more thinner than the calve plates. For accessories, she has a pair of padded leather gloves with armored fingers and knuckles that keep the shock of clashing swords from number her fingers as well as providing some protection against grazing hits to her hands. Finally, she does own and wear a naval leather collar but it is very uncommon to see her with it.

Lisa prefers her left hand and wears her Hand-and-a-Half and Arming Sword on her right side. Her Zweihander is wrapped lightly in fabric and worn on the back over her cape.

Name:
Lisa Inazuchi

Age:
25

Species:
Human

Languages:
Lisa speaks Human, Bad Wolf Tongue, and Conversational Basitin.

Class:
Former Naval Marine, Currently Soldier

Skills:
Ambidextrous
Lisa is ambidextrous with a preference for her left.

Twin Blade Fighting
Lisa is capable of using two swords at once without losing any level of skill or killing ability.

Boarding Action
Most fighters hate getting in close and having to fight in buildings, thick woods, or other situations where movement can be restricted and terrain is unpredictable. Lisa, being a marine, thrives in fighting in these situations.

Stitching and Cloth Repairs
Repairing sails and other cloth parts of a ship takes quite a bit and is rather important. Thankfully, the skills of cloth repair can be translated to other places.

Equipment:
Hand and a Half Sword
Lisa's personal sword, this 45 inch long Hand and a Half can be used as both a one handed weapon and a two handed weapon depending on the situation. Notably, the section slightly above and below the diamond section of the blade, including the diamond section of the blade, is not sharpened to more easily allow for half-sword techniques and to increase durability when using that area to block or catch other swords.

Arming Sword
A one handed 37 inch long Arming Sword, this particular version is an interesting example as the lower half of the blade has not been sharpened. Furthermore, of that lower half, most of it has been wrapped with leather and further reinforced by riveting some additional metal to the dull blade. This results in a weapon that is poorly balanced for precision slicing or cutting and is also difficult to swing in wide arcs. However, the weight of the weapon and the shape of its blade makes it a devastating chopping and stabbing weapon due to the surprising amount of force behind the weapon. Despite this, Lisa usually uses it to block against attacks.

Zweihander
This Zweihander is a clearly looted weapon due to the inscription on the sheath denoting it to be for a "Captain Luka Aragus for the Successful Third North Campaign against the Arctic Wolves". This weapon is quite literally longer than she is tall due to it being almost 68 inches long. Lisa actually wears the weapon on her back and at an angle as a direct result of its size. Lisa herself can use the weapon, though barely with any proficiency. It is a rather intimidating and savage weapon despite her lack of mastery with it and its sheer size and mass allows it to part other weapons and armor with little difficulty.

Personality:
Lisa is a rather gregarious and rowdy person with a slightly cocky attitude when it comes to combat. She also hates, with a burning passion, Templars and hates Keidrans. However, her hate for Templars eclipses her hate for Keidrans and, as such, is willing to work with them if only to further spite the Templars. Personally, she feels that pacifying the Keidran lands is the right way to go about things but not when the Templars are doing it. She has decided that she will take trophies off defeated Templar commanders when possible, though she has yet to encounter a second templar commander.

History:
Lisa grew up in a small village near Wolf territory and raids were a common occurrence growing up. Eventually, her family left to more interior territory close to the sea after losing too many neighbors in these raids. As a result, Lisa grew up fearing and hating the wolves. With this in mind, she joined the navy and was assigned to a flotilla of frigates that was patrolling the Grand Sea for pirates when the Templars started taking over. When one of the villages requested help in resisting Templar subjugation, Lisa's flotilla captain decided that it was their duty to help them. The marines on board would provide assistance on the ground while the frigates would provide assistance via bombardment.

As it turns out, resisting an army of mage knights when none of your own side can use magic is damn near impossible. While the marines stood their ground and were almost successful at repelling the templar normal troops, the mages showed up and quickly forced the tide against the Marines. Out matched, backs against the burning and mostly destroyed village, and with a lot of the villagers are dead or captured, the marines opted to retreat back to the frigates. Except as it turns out the Frigates were also on fire and burning after a few Templars managed to ignite them with magic.

Trapped with nowhere to run to, most of the Marines attempted to make a final last stand while others attempted to make a run for it. Injured in the earlier fight, Lisa was forcibly evacuated from the area as the other marines held off the Templars long enough for the wounded and unwilling to leave the area. Later, she learned that the Templars had spun off her flotilla as a rouge deserting unit that had resorted to piracy with the village and villagers being devastated due to fighting between them and the Templars. Infuriated beyond previous levels, she swore a blood oath to hunt down as many of the Templar leaders as she can find. Although she got lucky with the first kill, she has yet to encounter another Templar commander.

"Now I ain't saying everything's roses and sunshine, but the Templars are what's most likely to bring it."

Name: Bryan Dunting
Age: 35
Species: Human
Appearance: Bryan is 6'1
Languages: Human, conversational Keidran (Low and High), conversational Basitin
Class: Templar (Infantry)
Weapon: Lucerne Hammer
Arming Sword
Kite Shield
Personality:
Earnest and forthright about his intentions, Bryan is a loyal Templar to the last breath. He sees his pro-human actions as both necessary and commendable.

Vehemently convinced that humans are, if not the superior race, at the very least equal to the Keidran and Basitians. Bryan finds the idea of compromising with either to be repulsive, although he will not go out of his way to be rude or dismissive and even strongly disagrees with treating them as animals.

EDIT: Now approved!
Appearance: Stands at 5'8, and looks much less noble these days. Also lacking in the nice plate armor. Instead she wears a dirt brown hooded longcoat laced with metal plates inbetween two layers of leather over a nice reinforced leather vest, a darker brown than the coat. Aside from that, a plain cloth shirt and pants, with leather boots and gloves. The right glove appears to have been specially made, or modified, for her missing fingers.
Name: Elizabeth Vernon
Age: 34
Species: Human
Languages: Human, understands Keidran but can't speak it (Never bothered learning), and knows bits of Basitin.
Class: Hunter/Ranger/ex-Templar
Weapon: A simple but strong longbow, arrows, and a longsword. Also a hunting knife as a last resort, if need be. Bit of magic, too, although it isn't her specialty.
Personality: A quiet cynic, to put things simply. Tends to keep her opinions to herself unless asked or it goes against her morals. Doesn't talk much even when addressed.
Misc: Elizabeth is missing her pinky and ring fingers on her right hand. As such, her longsword is on her right hip instead of left. Still shoots a bow right-handed, though.
