RP interest check/signup: Twokinds, Retribution Of Man.

#1 Post by thewaltham22 »

Recently I had an idea for a plotline based in the Twokinds universe, and I wanted to test it out, so here it is!

The current kingdom of mankind has been a powerful force for hundreds of years, built on the back of Keidran slave labor, and under the iron fist ruling of the Templar their civilization grew and prospered into one of the greatest empires our world has ever seen.

However, all empires fall eventually, and the current empire is old, cruel, and rotten to the core. Something needs to change.

Not everyone is happy with how the world lives in fear of their near limitless armies, and a resistance was formed. For the most part this resistance is harmless or even beneficial to mankind, fostering new ideas of cooperation and peace between the races to build a newer and brighter future seems like such a good sell for the world.

However, the resistance is not all benevolent. Lacking a central leadership certain splinters of the group have split off, each pursuing their own ideals. These splinter groups normally would be no major threat to a large civilization, however one splinter, with only Keidran and Basitin members as humans are (for good reason) strictly forbidden, have taken it upon themselves to enact the doctrine of "an eye for an eye".

For now, they strike at civilian targets, razing human villages and towns and slaughtering anyone who "owns" a Keidran, but there have been rumors and dubious intel reports sent from their strongholds by Templar spies that they are constructing some sort of magical super-weapon to destroy humanity once and for all.

Who do you believe? For who's ideals will you draw your blade for? Only time will tell if you made the right choice.


So, yup. If you're interested, here are a couple of example character sheets of two characters i'll be playing as, make your own. I'm not sure how many people i'll have on board for this, but first come first served.

Name: Fahlk Jariin.
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Age: 23
Occupation: Mercenary/adventurer
Fighting style: Battle mage
Backstory: Fahlk has always been an adventurer. Every since he could swing a sword he was out exploring the wilds, looking for places forgotten and undiscovered, with unknown riches just waiting to be explored.

Fahlk never really found his fortune doing this like he had hoped, but he managed to scrape together enough to survive comfortably enough away from his parents who he considered far too restrictive, trying to "protect him from life itself" as he saw it.

When he was 14, he ran into the young Keidran Ruertai, the only survivor of a wrecked slaver's wagon, holding onto a greatsword which at the time was bigger than he was. Judging by how he had slipped his chains, and how the greatsword was covered in the blood of several caravan guards and the slave trader himself, he had most certainly broken any control spell placed upon him.

Fahlk befriended the Keidran, able to convince him that he was not like the slavers that had taken him and killed his family, and that he had two options, let Fahlk help him or die alone in the forest, and through their many adventures they slowly became as close as brothers, breaking through Ruertai's distrust.

Today the two are inseparable, forging a path through life's struggles, both glorious, terrible, and of course the parts of life that are swimming in mead.

Name: Ruertai
Gender: Male
Race: Mixed feline Keidran
Age: 11 (roughly mid twenties in Keidran years)
Occupation: Mercenary/adventurer
Fighting style: Beserker
Backstory: Ruertai's parents were killed in front of his eyes when he was just two years old when they attempted to fight back against a large group of slavers. Seeing this tragedy Ruertai ran for several months, until he succumbed to exhaustion and passed out.

He was quickly found by a smaller slaver caravan, just a single cart and a few guards, and taken back towards the human lands. Throughout these travels, Ruertai managed to recover his strength, barely holding his mind from becoming feral from pure rage. He tricked the slaver and the guard that he was under their control when in reality their control spell had failed.

They were deep into human territory by the time they let their guard down long enough for Ruertai to strike, he had been working at his chains for months, and they were finally loose enough for him to break free at a moments notice.

He saw that the guards and the slave trader was asleep, so he took his chances. His original intention was to just run, but something inside of him boiled over, seemingly forcing him beyond his control to grab one of the guard's greatswords and in a violent rage, he slew them all, taking them by surprise.

The horse pulling the cart, startled by this sudden noise rocketed off and smashed the wagon into a tree, instantly breaking its neck and ruining the cart.

Once Ruertai had managed to pull himself back to his feet, he surveyed the scene, his lucidity quickly returning. He couldn't flee, he didn't know the lands, nor the beasts that roamed them, so he decided to stay put, the cart had plenty of supplies, enough to last him a while.

It was merely an hour later that Fahlk stumbled across him. Ruertai's first thoughts were to slay the young battle mage here and now, however, Fahlk was able to talk him down. He was unsure why he trusted him, but he nonetheless saw his logic and traveled with him.

Now, nine years later and plenty of adventures and mis-adventures under their belts the two are as close as brothers, almost completely inseparable.

And there you have it. I'm going for a different feel to the regular twokinds comic, a gritty fantasy, almost Peter Jackson's lord of the rings or Elder Scrolls esque, anyway, if you're interested, leave a reply and if you're even more interested leave a character sheet with your character. Hope to see you soon!
