The Great War marked the end of an old era with the blood of its fallen brethren and foes. Malice, the tyrannical leader of The Dark, and his Captains fell in their final battle against a mysterious group whose names were seemingly lost in time. Sentenced into the dark voids of Otherworld, Malice is now trapped and no longer a threat to Firstearth, the world of five nations. (Ignis, Glacies, Ventus, Humus and at the very center Skyheart, the foundation.) However, with the battle, the citizens saw the fall of their kingdom and the death of King Lucien Brenin, and thus Skyheart turned to dust and became a city of dystopia. Craving a leader, civil war broke out amongst the countries over who should control and lead Firstearth into the new age of peace. Though with every decade that passed peace seemed further and furthest away. Now controlled by the Court of Mask, Skyheart is crumbling and with it any hope of bringing the world back to its beauty, an heir is needed, one born of Brenin blood, no matter how diluted by time. The Court of Mask has been hunting for an heir for the last 100 years and each lead goes down the same path, assassination. It would seem that some outside party does not wish for a new King or Queen and is ready to provoke a battle, tension is rising and people are growing suspicious. A new bounty has been placed upon the head of a single person, if you find that person, surely Skyheart will be in your hands.










Welcome to a new RolePlay by your beloved [Rice]! This time around I won't stand for any disappearing acts, god they kill RP's and make my children cry, well if I had children. If you want to join head over to the audition page and submit, I'm not going to be overly picky on characters so if I think you've got a few flaws that are stopping you getting accepted I'll help you remedy them. :D This is a fantasy/sci-fi/monsters everywhere sort of story line so expect violent, cursing, gore, magic, sharp objects and nasty personalities. <3
The setting was first used in a RP between me and [Chimes], so some of the credit needs to go for her. :) Thank you for helping me create this 6-year old story setting, it's amazing.

2011-05-18 [Rice]: Who are you mysterious fourth watcher? Is it [Chimes]?

2011-05-18 [Chimes]: Was not me. :P

2011-05-18 [Rice]: GAME ON! I think it was [Flisky] 8D ?

2011-05-18 [Flisky]: *will create a character*

2011-05-18 [Rice]: OMG I don't know who the mysterious watcher is then.

- Flisky

...and? o.o Akane? Maybe

2011-05-18 [Rice]: And also yeeeessss make a character Flisker >;D

2011-05-19 [Alexi Ice]: ...>> I'm not a mystery watcher until now! Hahaha!

2011-05-19 [Alexi Ice]: Didn't we decide Mort is almost always the mystery watcher?

2011-05-19 [Rice]: Ha ha then this wiki is complete!

2011-05-19 [Thunder Cid]: Oh I can't handle it anymore.

2011-05-19 [Rice]: YOOOOOOOOOU! *popcorn goes everywhere*

2011-05-19 [Thunder Cid]: <img:stuff/aj/101743/1305813460.jpg>

2011-05-19 [Rice]: *eats some more popcorn* 8U THIS IS THE BEST MOVIE EVER!

2011-05-19 [Thunder Cid]: Modern CG.

2011-05-19 [Rice]: Just thought I'd let people know that as of yet there is no deadline for applications. So take your time thinking over a character idea or whatever, heck you can even bounce numerous ideas off me. I am tough and pliant. 8D

2011-05-19 [Rice]: The RP will open on 26th of May- or at four accepted characters! However I will be accepting new characters for a time afterwards so still no rush. :)

2011-05-19 [Flisky]: How many characters are we allowed to have?

2011-05-19 [Rice]: Two main characters, that are in the group..but then there can be minor characters in whatever sub-plot we're currently exploring. Also character are allowed to have previously known each other or met one another. :D

2011-05-19 [Flisky]: Okay, just checking. ^_^

2011-05-19 [Rice]: S'alright chuck~ BTW I'm doddlying the current characters as we speak..do you mind if I doodle Naka?

2011-05-19 [Flisky]: Not at all. ^_^

2011-05-19 [Rice]: YAY!

2011-05-19 [Rice]: <img:stuff/aj/87488/1305834589.jpg> FIVE MINUTE DOODLES FOR YOU! I'm sorry id I failed with Naka's outfit..xD I was like 'Okay come on..think monk'

2011-05-19 [Flisky]: But they's so cuuuute!!! ^_^

2011-05-19 [Rice]: I imagine someone has just approached them and Rendon is like 'Stand back Naka...' and Naka is just like '^_^ I can take care of myself you know'

2011-05-19 [Veltzeh]: It's just me. X)

I was thinking of making a character (also correcting a few typos, like "auditions") but I feel like I need more info to start working.

2011-05-19 [Rice]: Google chrome raped me!

Ask away. :)

2011-05-19 [Flisky]: I can see that too. :D

2011-05-19 [Veltzeh]: I don't even know what to ask. XD Umm... geography? Culture? Role of monsters?

2011-05-19 [Rice]: Look in the AUDITIONS *glares at chrome* part. It lists the culture there and general geography.
As for monsters once you know about the nations and races etc I can fill you in.

2011-05-19 [Veltzeh]: Yup, read that. I even thought of a couple more specific questions, yay! Are there any bigger differences to our own cultures? (Equality of sexes is one thing at least.) Are there humanoid monsters that could possibly pass off as humans or "civilised" humanoids like dwarves etc.?

(Also yes, er, would it be okay if I fixed a couple of typos? X))

2011-05-19 [Rice]: (Yes go ahead..xD I don't take offense at people correcting me)

Gender equality is the same as our world I suppose, for the most part people are pretty indifferent towards and don't think less or more. However there are tribes around, specifically one that will appear in the RP which is a bandit tribe of misogynistic men who treat women like slaves. 

And yes there are humanoid monsters due to cross breeding and odd magical experiments. So you could have a normal human looking man who actually had dwarven blood in him.

2011-05-19 [Rice]: Thank you Veltzie~

2011-05-19 [Veltzeh]: Same as in our world now or back then?

What's the status of non-human civilisations? Or is the point to make the characters (mostly) plain humans who don't know about such things? Do the nations have similar climate and terrain as their real-world examples?

You're welcome. :3

2011-05-19 [Rice]: Our world now. Firstearth is a different place however civilizations in the social manner is the same as ours. Equality for all but there are off course racist and prejudice groups.

There is every race possibly, humans aren't the dominant races at all and the diversity has meant that all races are pretty wide spread. And yes the nations have similar climates as their real world examples but of course there can be fluctuating differences. As Skyheart controls much of the weather, since it is breaking the weather is beginning to change.

2011-05-19 [Sideways]: Sounds way fun! Thank you for the invite! Will audition soon!

2011-05-19 [Rice]: I can't wait to see. :D

2011-05-19 [Alexi Ice]: Oh! Do my charries get a doodle O.o They are so epic!

2011-05-19 [Rice]: Oh yes of course, when you do them. ;D

2011-05-19 [Alexi Ice]: Woot! I'm not dead now so I will get to work on it ^^

2011-05-19 [Rice]: YAY! Free art for everyvone!

2011-05-19 [Alexi Ice]: I've always coveted a Rice art piece because they are so amazing! Hehehe ~

2011-05-19 [Rice]: OH YOU..you're just telling me what I want to here. X3 ..don't stop.

When this RP get's moving i'll probably draw some real stuff, not just doodles.

2011-05-19 [Akayume]: You're so good at art Rice! :3 I love that picture up thar in the comments. :P

2011-05-19 [Rice]: Oh god it's like some 5 minutes doodle. xD I was just trying to jot down the concept art for the characters. But thanks!

2011-05-19 [Akayume]: IT IS GOOD. GOD SAYS SO. *is god* O_________O

2011-05-19 [Akayume]: ...I might make a character for this. >.>" Why are you guys feeding my rp addiction? XP

2011-05-20 [Rice]: Because we want to corrupt you! >;) And take you away from the real world.

2011-05-20 [Veltzeh]: Are there any kind of game rules or guidelines?

2011-05-20 [Rice]: I think most people know the general rules and have common decency. So you know 'Don't go nuts and start killing everyone' yadda yadda 'No one loves a god-player.'

I've made this RP so that people have the ability to provide plot ideas and keep things moving forward, however sometimes I will need to take control to get characters to a certain place. I dislike it when there is a central character in an RP >_> so..for this i'm trying to make everyones character just as important and with as much power.

That being said I am still the GM and if things get out of hand i'll have a polite word, sometimes people can start trying to take control a bit too much and battle over plot ideas. Once we get everyone together the story will unfold.

2011-05-20 [Veltzeh]: Well, people do have different conceptions of what's general and decent. I usually err on the side of caution, and it got me extremely bored at one MUD I tried because I didn't know of their conventions. X)

Everyone getting together does imply that the characters should get along somehow, unless it's going to happen by trial and error where the characters keep getting killed by the others until there's a good enough group. Is that the point, or should characters only die if its player so wishes?

That reminded me: What is the driving point behind the initial plot hook, for the characters? Or are they going to be forcibly dragged into it? Is the purpose that all characters are on the same side (and what is that side?) or is the purpose to make two or more sides? Are my questions getting too tiresome? (I hope not, heh.)

2011-05-20 [Rice]: Every decent story line I have ever seen involves a group of people with conflicting personalities, so no they don't have to get along. However they will be unified by a small cause and develop, then when the time comes we'll see how it pans out.
Characters only die if their creator wishes them too.

Once the character is up I discuss how they shall meet the current group, some of the characters already know each other and are travelling together. The meaning behind 'A new bounty has been placed upon the head of a single person, if you find that person, surely Skyheart will be in your hands' is that it shows you there is a bounty to be collected. Giving people a window to pick, if your character was up for the hunt then they would accept the bounty and no doubt meet the other bounty seekers along the way. Or, they get dragged into it by some odd situation. Its up to the creator to discuss it with me.

I'm not releasing any other plot details at the moment though.

2011-05-20 [Veltzeh]: Oh, I meant "getting along somehow" as that they don't kill or outright leave each other, not that there wouldn't be any conflicts.

I think I might have enough info now. XD But I can't be sure!

2011-05-20 [Rice]: Well, yeah I wouldn't accept a character that's just gonna run at them with a machete xD

2011-05-21 [Rice]: <img:stuff/aj/87488/1305975741.jpg>

OH GOD ITS AWFUL! I drew it in the car..and well. *shame* Here is Martin and Drent for you [Flisky], sorry if Drent looks wrong but I didn't know how his hair looked or his shirt under the black jacket. xD So I went with a longish hairstyle since I reckon he'd rock that.

Drent: >8|
Martin: ;_;

2011-05-21 [Flisky]: Still love it!!!! ^_^

2011-05-21 [Rice]: XD ah good. I love them already..I must do a real drawing.

2011-05-21 [Flisky]: Yes. You must! ^_^

2011-05-21 [Rice]: They are my new favorite people. 8D

2011-05-21 [Flisky]: They are totally the most odd non-couple couple ever! :D

2011-05-21 [Rice]: It's sort of..brotherly in a way. xD Martin is the wimpy whiny little brother and Drent the older stoic one, who grumbles.

2011-05-21 [Flisky]: Heehee. That's the perfect way to describe them!

2011-05-21 [Rice]: <img:stuff/aj/87488/1305987962.jpg>
MARTIN! 8D

2011-05-21 [Rice]: There are no three character positions left for the first chapter.. 8U

2011-05-21 [Flisky]: He's soooo adorable!

2011-05-21 [Rice]: .3.

2011-05-21 [Dericious]: *JUMPS ON THE MARTIN BANDWAGON* http://i56.tinypic.com/rcpidu.png

2011-05-21 [Rice]: Martin: n-no-NOOO NOT SISTER *jumps out a window*

2011-05-25 [Rice]: Okay guys this opens today. I'm listing rules on the chapter page now. 8')

2011-05-25 [Rice]: Born of Sand Current - go there NOA!

2011-05-30 [Earoluim]: Is any one on at the moment that could help me out for a moment ?

2011-05-30 [Akayume]: What do you need help with? (:

2011-05-30 [Earoluim]: I need to do one thing to my audition page before I can start posting. [Rice] Told me to Box500 it but I do not know what that means, but she logged off when I asked her about it .

2011-05-30 [Akayume]: Ahhh. She means use the box tag. It's pseudo html. (: So you put <*box500*>(your text here)</*box500*>. :D Hope that helps!

2011-05-30 [Earoluim]: What exactly does that do ?

2011-05-30 [Akayume]: It puts the text in the box. :3 example:

This is a sentence without the box200 tag. It looks like a plain old sentence. Nothing special, right?

This is a sentence with the box100 tag. It's... Well, in a box. See? It looks nicer and more "uniform".

2011-05-30 [Earoluim]: lolok.
Thank you very much, * bows my head *

2011-05-30 [Akayume]: Not a problem. (: Glad to be of service.

2011-12-23 [Earoluim]: ......

2012-01-28 [Flisky]: *starts chanting* Restart! Restart! Restart!

2012-01-28 [Rice]: MY EXAMS ARE OVER, SO I CAN! 8D

2012-01-28 [Rice]: People, post here if you want to continue on this. :D

2012-01-28 [Flisky]: Should I post here that I want to? XD

2012-01-28 [Rice]: I know you want too, so no need. 8D

2012-01-28 [Akayume]: I could try to be active in this. :D Uni/work is busy stuff, but I'll try. <3

2012-01-28 [Rice]: I'm at Uni too so, it won't be really fast paced, and no one will be left behind.
Alright, so we got three people so far.

2012-01-29 [Earoluim]: ....

2012-02-01 [Rice]: Okay. So, I'm sorting the characters out now.
Akay, reckon you can whip up a character for us ;)

Also, do people want to change their characters or keep them? I'm getting rid of Martin at the moment, for example.

2012-02-01 [Flisky]: Aww...then who will Drent babysit?

2012-02-01 [Rice]: Actually, I wanted to make Drent a partner is that was okay. We can message the details to each other. :3

2012-02-01 [Flisky]: Haha. Yes. I like this idea.

2012-02-01 [Rice]: *throws a message at you*

2012-02-01 [Akayume]: I will create one. :O

2012-02-01 [Rice]: YAY! Don't feel like you need to rush though .... :3

2012-02-02 [Earoluim]: keep

2012-04-11 [Rice]: I'm so sorry guys, I keep saying I'll restart this and then I don't..but I promise I will now.

So people, tell me one of three things, are you

- Staying and keeping the same character?
- Staying and making a new character?
- Leaving me for good?

:)

I'm personally doing the middle, hell, maybe my character will be up by the time you read this.

2012-04-11 [Flisky]: Staying and keeping Drent at least. 

2012-04-11 [Rice]: Oh snap, I just messaged you. <3

2012-04-11 [Kai Crewger]: wolowolowolowolowolOWOLOWOLOWOLOOLOWOLOWOLO

2012-04-11 [Rice]: 8U .... *falls over*

2012-04-13 [NOOOPE]: I've got a question about the "mysterious group whose names were seemingly lost in time". Do they play a part in the story?

2012-04-13 [Rice]: They were from the original RP me and some friends had but this RP is set years after it so they are all dead, though they could very well have descendants that show up. I hadn't thought about it.

2012-04-13 [Rice]: Also, feel free to make a good guy, one of my friends doesn't have time to rejoin so their is a space. :D

2012-04-14 [Rice]:

Okay guys, one more character and then we will begin. :) I'm going to set the scene now so think up an awesome way for your character to show up.

2012-04-14 [Rice]:

RP IS OPEN!
