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.

2011-05-19 [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!
