Welcome to the land of Velesian, a land which many call home. The monstrous Trolls to the north east, who reside in the great peaks of the Sevron Mountains. The wise but reclusive woodsmen known as Elven who have small tribes dotted throughout the expansive forests blanketing the land. The stout yet kingly Dwarves who make their homes deep within the Underground, mining feverishly in the hope they'll one day find the lost Houlds of their ancestors. The misunderstood Gnomes, who long ago possessed mighty walking fortresses in the northern planes, but have since been forced away due to enslavement by the Empire. The diplomatic Humans, a young but powerful species who own the very surface of the ocean. The fabled Magic Users who hide themselves away from the prying eyes of civilization in the desolate Sea of Sand. The Kitsune of the flat lands, or more commonly known 'foxfolk' who are adebt at magic but oddly have been reported to be weak against it. Lastly, the ferocious and hardy Wargals take refuge in the frost bitten mountains to the east, to which none but their own have ever dared to set foot upon.

This land, like many, has not always been a peaceful one. Before the Empire rose to power and established their dominance, all the known races were swept up in what is today known as the War of All. This so called "peace" has been fading fast ever since. The Empire is being tainted with the power they now wield. They have begun abusing this power, and the elders suspect they will soon destroy this beautiful land, and all it's life along with it. Unless a group of unlikely heroes band together and defeat the tryanny known as the Empire once and for all. This, is their story. This, is the Unicorn Chronicles....

Thanks to GUNINANRUNIN for making it prettier.

Attack: 124     Defence: 88    Critical: 88
Health: 95       Stamina: 6/26
Skills:
Speed Demon - Has had his soul fused with the essence of an actual Hell-spawn which allows him to move, attack, and even think much faster than normal, although invoking its power often leaves him somewhat drained. [75% of max stamina] [Can attack two targets in one turn, 20% bonus to Attack roll]
 
Rabble Rouser - His rebellious nature has led him to be quite adept at starting actual rebellions, and he is particularly good at rallying followers to his cause. Can more easily recruit followers and also start riots in settlements with a disgruntled populous. [1-6 Stamina]

Name: Nárira Tanendonel       GOLD:15
Race: Elven: LVL:1               Exp: [//60 of 300\\]
Gender: Female
Weapon:  Elemental/Ice
Magic:70      Defence:53     Critical:57
Health:77     Mana:62

Skills:
Spell/Heart of Winter - Naria's icy magic sends the target into a cold, merciless rage, giving them increased staying power and strength at cost to their own welfare, and something of their sanity. Targets in this state will find it more difficult to think logically and rationally, and will feel inclined to obey their most base urges-be it protection or destruction. Once the spell wears off, the target will be in an exhausted and vulnerable state.
 [24-36 MANA] [Target loses 80% of max stamina/magic]

Skill/Freeze the Flesh, Temper the Spirit - Naria can compel a crawling frost to quickly-and painfully-seal up a subjects wounds.

Health: 15      Mana: 85

Skills:
Spell/Soothing Touch - Sairi's hands, though covered in a layer of white fur, glow with a radiant light from the wrist upwards. By close contact with the target, she spends her own reserves of Mana to increase the healing of cuts, other superficial wounds, clearing their minds of any mental abnormality, or physical afflictment. [20-28] [1d4 roll to decide effect]

Skill/Lux Aeterna - Invoking the power of her people, Sairi is able to use light as an offensive weapon, utilizing the shifting reflections to either distract, or blind. Even in total darkness this is possible, but heavily taxes the user. [Sustained spell, draws mana at a constant rate: Able to either Blind, Confuse, Create an Illusion, Harm, Heal multiple allies or Temporarily light up the area; 1d6 for the effect] [30-32 mana per turn]

Riposte: Talon can block an attack with one axe and retaliate with the other - he gains a defesne bonus the turn he uses it and will automatically counter all incoming attacks, but at only half strength. [10-27 Stamina] [50% bonus to Defence -50% to Attack]

HERO'S WHO ARE STILL DREAMING

Array

[mentallama]

RULES
Leveling up

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

attack/magic: this decides the maximum ammount of damage you can do with a regular attack.
defence: this decides how much damage you can negate from an enemy attack.
Critical: this is how likely you are to get a damge bonus for your attacks.
Health: how much damage you can take before you are dead. (you will need to be healed for this to regnerate or sleep at camp)
stamina/mana: this is needed to use skills/spells. (Stamina will regenerate if you are not in combat. Mana will continuously regenerate. They will be completly restored when you sleep.)

When you level up I will roll a 100 sided die for each of the above traits, except for critical which will be a 20 sided die, and they will increase by the number rolled.

First you need to pick your race, gender, and a name.

RACE

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Troll: These creatures stand 7-8 feet tall. They have a very tough skin almost rock in nature and as such cannot wear armor. They also cannot wield proper weapons, but crude clubs. They are resistent to physical attacks but are at a disadvantage when it comes to magic. They can learn very basic spells.

Elven: They are human in appearance except for pointy ears and shorter standing from about 5 feet to 5 feet 9 inches, as such they are not as strong as humans but have great eyesight and hearing. They are quick learners and can learn most weapons and magic spells easily. They cannot wear heavy armor or use two handed weapons. They are slightly resistent to magic.

Gnomes: They are shorter than Elves and less stalky in build than the Dwarves. They are dangerous in large groups but harmless otherwise. They are woodsman by nature but have mostly been captured for slave work for the Empire. (not recommended for player use)

Humans: They are able to learn most spells and all weapon types as well as the ability to use any armor. They have no resistance to magical or physical attacks.

Magic Users: standing up to 8 feet tall and very thin they always have a cowl pulled over their face to hide what is under.... a blank pit of emptiness and dispair. These beings are very adept at magic and can learn all spells without trouble. They cannot lean how to use weapons or wear any type of armor.

Wargals: Bear like in stature yet bipedal, they are a little taller than Humans but hunch over so they stand roughly the same height, they are the width of 1 1/2- 2 Humans. These monsters are very strong and easily able to heft a twohanded weapon but heavy armor is hard to find for their unique shape. They cannot learn magic.

Dwarves: Shorter than elves but stronger in build than humans these peopple are very strong and sturdy, they can learn all weapons and can wear any kind of armor. They have a blood born ability to shrug off magic but this also prevents them from learning any spells.

Kitsune: Unable to use heavy armor due to their physical appearances, 'Kitsune' or more commonly known as Foxfolk to the commoners are a race of humanoids with fox-like characteristics being the only notable difference, stating bluntly. They are lithe in nature and more adept in magic than their human roots, but are more vulnerable to hostile magic in turn.

Next pick your starting weapon type ((sword, axe....etc))
Or a magic type if your race allows. Light is focused on helping your team and can only be conjured by using mana, Blood magic uses health instead of mana and does massive damage, Elemental is a middle ground using both mana and health (if you pick this one pick an element, fire, water, wind...etc).

Then pick two skills/spells (these use stamina if you are not a magic wielder or mana if you are)
These are subject to change if they are too overpowered. pm me if you have questions.
They will level up along with you. The longer you have a skill/ability/spell the stronger it will be.
((For example, if you learn "SNEAK ATTACK" and you are level 7 your "SNEAK ATTACK" will only be level 1))
Skills are not the only attack you can preform, evey player has a basic type of attack.

Sometimes there will be instances where you will be able to recruit NPC's for fights, they won't follow you out of the city or town they live in however, unless there is a big battle approaching in which case they may follow you. Same races will relate better than others. ((For example a Human trying to get help from a Human will have a better chance than say a Troll.

[mentallama]

I forgot to mention that as you level up your skills/abilities/spells will become stronger and sometimes gain additional effects.  Also sometimes there will be instances where you will be able to recruit NPC's for fights, they won't follow you out of the city or town they live in however.
All of this is in the rule section now 

[Parsely]

Do we get to choose names?

[mentallama]

oops, yes and be creative with it

[Parsely]

Be creative with it.

Gotcha.

[mesor]

How many players do we want for this?
Also, bump.

[Dwarmin]

Name: Nárira Tanendonel
Race: Elven
Gender: Female
Weapon:  Elemental/Ice

Skills:
Spell/Heart of Winter - Naria's icy magic sends the target into a cold, merciless rage, giving them increased staying power and strength at cost to their own welfare, and something of their sanity. Targets in this state will find it more difficult to think logically and rationally, and will feel inclined to obey their most base urges-be it protection or destruction. Once the spell wears off, the target will be in an exhausted and vulnerable state.
[Temporary Berserk Buff - Gives temporary HP, increases Attack and Damage. Targets are magically compelled to  seek out and satisfy their base emotional urges in combat to the exclusion of any overarching goal, be it destruction of an enemy, completion of a specific task, or even the protection of a loved one. Exhaustion penalties set in once the buff has worn off.]

Skill/Freeze the Flesh, Temper the Spirit - Naria can compel a crawling frost to quickly-and painfully-seal up a subjects wounds. This causes great pain, not only shocking them out of hostile effects, but also debilitating them for a time. The subject must hold still during the spell, making it difficult to use offensively.
[Powerful Emergency Heal, Removes Mental and Physical Debuffs-also stuns or debilitates the target. Much harder to use on a non-willing target. Elemental Resistance or defense lowers the benefits of heals and debuffs, but also lowers the stuns debilitating effects.]

[mentallama]

[mentallama]

Alright starting the game in 3.....2.......1

[mentallama]

........You look around and you see white. There is no other way to describe what you see, there is nothing, yet the edges of what you see seem to waver, as though the endless white has an end. You look around scared when you hear a horse clopping along ahead of you. You can't see anything yet but you intentively take a step foward. The scene before you tears at the very seams of reality. You have the feeling of falling and you shut your eyes in horror preparing for the death the will soon come, but you never feel the impact. Tentively you open your eyes and see you are in the middle of a lush forest. You can see the outline of a horse but it is at the edge of your vision and can't make out any details of this creature. Slowly you begin rising to your feet when again a change occurs, now you are on an island with what appears to be a horse.. only it has a horn on it's head. You are baffled by this and stare in astonishment at what you can only assume to be the mythical Unicorn. It is just beyond the point of being able to make out details.
   A voice rolls through mind rattling your very being, but the voice is not harsh, it is very and soft. The only thought you can come up with is that it should belong to a heavenly body, you realize it does and quickly stop thinking and listen.
"Mortal you must listen closely. My name and what I am is of no importance right now. I bring grave news of the world you know. The Empire that claims to protect it's people has abused the power it wrongly took from this land. It is up to you to unite the lands and bring them to destroy this wretched evil. To do so you must find my four bretheren, they reside in the four directions, North, South, East, and West. They are the true rulers of this land and will rise only to protect that with which they rule if a true hero represents me. Speak of this dream to them and they will give you control of their armies to destroy the Empire!"
