RPG For Newcomers

[Lirel Starbright]

Can I join?
I know nothing of TOS, cos it hasnt come out here yet (Grrrrrrr...)
If I do join Ill just be following someone's lead.

If no-one minds having me trailing about after them, here's me.

Name: Alexandra Starsong
Age: Appears to be 26 in Human years
Race: Half-Elf
Gender: Female

Appearance:
Eyes: Amethyst
Hair: Light brown, comes to about half-way down her back
Build: Light
Skin: Pale

Background:
Alexandra was born to an elven ranger of the Starsong line and his human wife, a skilled mage. She had training in both professions, but had little love for a mages life, and so became a ranger. After many years of travel, she met another ranger, Darrakir Ravenwind, and the two became friends. After a year or two of adventuring together, he asked her to marry him, and she agreed. They settled down in the city of Noristai, waiting for the day of the marriage. A mere month before the wedding, the two went out together into the woods in the hills north of Noristai, and it was there they were attacked by a group of dark elves. They fought off most of the group, but just as they thought they had won, a dark elf mage cast an evil spell, and then the dark elves who remained fled through the strange magical portal the spell had created. Alexandra quickly took persuit, Darrakir behind her, but as he approached teh portal, it closed, leaving Alexandra stranded alone in a strange world, with no knowledge of where she was, or what to do.

(which nicely explains my lack of knowlege )


Skills:
Alexandra has one power which she has inherited as the last in a long line of rangers. This power was gifted to her ancestor, the ranger Astarl Starsong, by Mylinne, Goddess of rangers, and has been in her family ever since.
It is called Element Dance, and includes a complex set of movements, ending with her two swords being thrown into the air, and infused with their respective elements.
Alexandra then catches them again and slams them into the floor, sending a wall of fire and ice flying from her in every direction.
It is very powerful, but as a consequence, is very mentally draining, and usually leaves Alexandra unconscious. This makes it basically a last resort technique.

Weapons
Alexandra always has her two swords Fyre and Iyse with her. Without either one of the swords, Element Dance will not work, it needing both swords.
The two swords can deal fire and ice damage when a word of power is spoken. This is also slightly tiring as the swords draw their power from their wielder.

Armour
Alexandra wears a mythril chain vest made by elven craftsmen in the city of Noristai. It carries an enchantment which makes it light as a feather, so it does not slow her down.
She wears a leaf green tunic over it, so it cannot be seen.
She also wears knee-high leather boots, light green leggings, and a dark green hooded cloak.


_______


the other good thing is that she is from a different world, so that she has very little knowlege of anything, and all is new and strange to her. Which should be easy for me to write

A Name Defended to the Death is a Name Worthy of Repect

[Shinomuri]

Is it just me, or are there now a lot of people joining this thread? Well, it's really PreseaSymphonia's decision.

[PreseaSymphonia]

yeah you can join. Just pretend we know what were talking about. Ok so should we be in Sylverant or Tethe'alla or the place shinomuri suggested? and what time? I think we should do the tos worlds since just about everyone knows about them.

A Name Defended to the Death is a Name Worthy of Repect

[Sarcastic_cheese]

Hmm. Maybe this rp should take place 20 years after the events of Tos?
It was a thought.

How about the RP group meets the TOS crew on their epilogue events as they travel throughout the world.

[Seiko Hikari]

Hey, can I join?

Name: Zaiten Kyoushu

Race: Human

Age: 19

Physical appearance: Average in height and weight, Zaiten usually wears a long black cloak that coceals a black top and pants. His short black hair is tied back by a ash-colored headband with the kanji for speed written on it in white. He uses twin daggers that he keeps in his belt, under his cloak. ON his right hand is a grayish-blue Exshpere. Lithe and agile, he relies mainly on his speed and agility, rather than power, to defeat his opponents.


History: Zaiten's origins are unknown. He was found and adopted by an assassin in the employ of a wealthy noble, and was trained as his successor. During his time off from training, he enjoyed the comforts and joys of nobility, playing freely with the other children who did not know of the young boys future occupation.
Zaiten never really took his training seriously, even though he was natrually adept at it. His care-free attitude often annoyed his father. One day while out on a trianing exercise, the pair was attacked by bounty hunters who were after a bounty placed on Zaiten's father's head. They tried to fight back, but were out-numbered and Zaiten saw first-hand the horrors of battle. His father held off the attackers, yelling at Zaiten to flee.
The hunters did not pursue him because he was not part of the bounty, and Zaiten returned home in shock. His young mind could not handle the strain of the guilt and sorrow he felt, so he forged a new personality to deal with it for him, calling it Konran. Zaiten reverts to this alter-ego when he battles, and as a result, he can never remember anything that happens while he fights. He is aware Konran's existance, and has seen the destruction that he can cause, but is content to believe that it is not really him doing all of those things.
Swearing never to lose another battle, Zaiten trained day and night, honing his skills. He left the service of the noble his father had been working for, and went off in search of the bounty hunters that took his father's life.

Character:
-Zaiten: Most of the time, Zaiten is a happy and care-free individual. He likes to goof around with ihs friends, and usually has some sort of joke or comment that will make people smile. He is polite and free-spirited, always willing to help others.
-Konran: In battle, Konran is very serious, and sometimes cold. He finishes his opponents quickly and without mercy, and deals with anyone who tries to stop him in a similar manner. His ruthless fighting tactics have earned him the nickname, "Death's Shadow."

Because of his dual personality, Zaiten usually prefers to work alone, rather than risking the safety of his friends.

Skills:
-Shadow Cloak: Zaiten is surrounded by a cloud of darkness, raising his evasion and lowering his opponent's accuracy.
-Assassin's Eye: Raises Zaiten's accuracy and lowers enemy evasion.
-Speed Rune: Zaiten's battle speed rises.
-Dark Blade: Charges Zaiten's weapons with shadow energy.
-Viper Strike: A strike that damages and may poison an enemy.
-Dream Strike: Zatien strikes so fast that his hands and blades cannot be seen, hitting the enemy multiple times.
-Illusion Strike: Stronger version of Dream Strike, with more hits.
-Critical Blow: A pwerful stingle stirke that knocks the enemy down.
-Killing Blow: Stronger version of Critical Blow.
-Falcon Slash: Zaiten jumps up and over the opponent, slashing down between his legs as he goes, aiming for the back of the opponent's neck.
-Spin Slash: A quick one-two strike in which Zaiten spins around 180 degrees, driving his daggers into his opponent's side, then slices stright up the opponent's body. Great for attacking enemies behind him, as it both damages and leaves him facing the opponent.
-Shinobi Path: A desperation strike that deals a great amount of damage, but drains Zaiten of all his energy (TP) and almost all of his health (Leaves him with 1% of his Max HP). He makes a few quick signs with his hands, and all but a bit of the energy left in his body is released, sending lances of pure mana streaming toward his opponent(s).

EX Skills & Compund Skills:
Lv.2 Evasion - Evade +5%
LV.1 Accuracy - Accuracy +10%
Lv.3 Eternal - Combines w/ other EX Skills
Lv.2 Dash - Faster movement in battle

Accuracy + Dash - Guard Away: Can't be stunned while backstepping.
Accuracy + Evasion - Search Gald: Chance to find more Gald after battle.
Accuracy + Eternal - High Slash: Critical Hit rate increases.

--

EDIT: Added a few more things into his bio, and split his character description to better describe both of his personalities.

EDIT #2: Added an important item, his Exshpere, as well as the EX Gems and Skills he has equipped. Also added a more detailed description of his "Shinobi Path" attack.

[PreseaSymphonia]

I like Master T and Light's ideas. Lets make a alternate version and maybe we can meet up with the other characters later on. If everyone is ok with it then I think we should start in Meltokio since its such a big city.

Edit: yes everyone can join

Now that there are several people, I think we should split into two groups. One should start in Sylvarant and the other in Tethe'alla, then they'll meet somewhere and fight against a common enemy.

[Genis Rocks]

[Light]

I will start wherever my comrades from Survival Island and Kreloda start. I think it makes sense for me to be with them at the beginning of this RP.
