Ruler of the Rebellion: Phase 0, Update 6 - Power of the Kings
« on: October 19, 2011, 04:59:30 pm »

Great War, Year 1211: The nation which your people most feared, the Northern Empire, finally launched an attack on the Coalition, a group of the last fifteen nations that remained outside of the Northern Empire's control. For weeks the fighting continued non-stop with no end in sight for this long war, and as each day dragged on the casualties for both sides rose extremely high until finally the Coalition surrendered in the hopes of saving its people from even more death. The leaders of the Coalition, and the Coalition Army were rounded up, and publicly executed in-front of thousands of people in order to show that the Northern Empire would not tolerate resistance. And for the most part it worked many people just turned their heads as people were beaten in the streets by the Imperials, or as they burned down the house of a neighbor who refused to give up their child for training in the army.

Current, Year 1247: Nearly 40 years after the Great War certain forces are stirring, and preparing for the chance to free themselves from the Empire's grasp. And a very unique being finally comes into existence on this day, and that is you. Little do you know it is you who will lead the rebellion, and it is you who will free these people from oppression.

Name: Huli ma Abaiz
Gender: Female
Birth Sign: Tome
Race: Afari Ulum Nomad- The Afari are a southern-born cousins to the elves of the Empire. They are of darker skin but have peculiar eyes that glow slightly. They are a nomadic people of craftsmen and warriors, always on the move. Some however were forced by the empire to remain in Imperial grounds, to become subjects forever more...These Afari were called Ulum, meaning imprisoned. They have much of the agility of elves, but are not incredibly skilled in the arts of magic and archery. Instead they prefer the way of spears and crafting; especially glass. They often ally themselves with djinn, who make up for the Afari's lack of true magic.


Busy right now, will edit in the rest later.

Name: Lewis Azul
Gender: Male
Birth Sign: Scroll
Race: Krisa: The Krisa are a race of rat like people that can survive in most environments, but tend to live with Dwarves. They tend to be not as tough or as strong as Dwarves, but are more agile and intelligent then Dwarves. Being rat people most races are put off by their appearance.

I hope that is good, first time making a race.  :)

Name: Esael Manabastion
Gender: Male
Birth Sign: Mage
Race: Dark Born
No race is completely loyal, so it should have been suspected that some demons would grow tired of their masters and wish to seek life elsewhere. No one remembers exactly how it happened, but far in the past a large group of demons broke away from the rest. They went their seperate ways, creating small cities in remote and inhospitable locations that were linked together with what were called Hellgates. Over millenia, the Dark born had forged a strong trade alliance with the dwarves, but it was still incredibly rare to see them outside their cities.
The Dark Born look mostly humanoid, with light gray skin, black, white or gray hair and vertically slanted glowing red eyes. Each Dark Born has a vestigial remnant of their demonic nature, often called a mark. These things can be anything from scales, to wings, to third eyes. Babies born with three marks are rare, with it often being seen as a sign of great things to come. Anyone with two marks dies during or shortly after birth for an unknown reason.

(I hope that could be considered short. I understand if you need to rewrite or remove anything if it clashes with already laid out backstory.)

Oh we will only be playing one, but all of the ones you guys suggested will most likely find their way into play as other Rebel leaders (Most Likely)

Name: Kjetyl Jormangandr
Gender: Male
Birth Sign: Knight
Race: Fjordman
The Fjordmen are stereotypical 'nordic' humans. All men have long braided beards and die their hair blonde if they are not born with it already. The women are renowned for their beauty. They are adapted to the cold northern landscape and their economy relies heavily on fishing and trade.

Name: Luka Ankariy
Gender: Male
Birth Sign: Crown
Race: Drakken
The dragon-kin Humans, or "Drakken" as they're colloquially known, are a race that supposedly split off from humans in ages past, twisted by a dark ritual consumption of the blood of dragons to gain their magic strength and fire breath. The truth, it is suspected, is far less dramatic (the actual cause of the Drakken's state is proximity to a fire-abundant ley line imparting them with some of its magic - the same source as the mutations of the fire wyvern family of dragon-Kin - due to generations of exposure), but the similarities do exist. Drakken stand around seven feet tall and possess prodigious strength, hardened skin, fire breath, and unusually angular but distinctly human facial features. Their lifespans are often shortened by their body's inability to handle such potent magic. Their dark hair and mid-toned skin are hereditary but completely unrelated to their status as dragon-kin. They originate from a chain of magic-and-volcano-blasted mountains nominally conquered by the Northern Empire on principal despite lacking just about anything of interest to the Empire.

You are born under the Birth Sign of the Scroll, and grow up to the age of six as Lewis Azul, Son of Jenkin Azul the Town Record-keeper. You are currently sitting at a desk in your School with a test in front of you, and it has numerous varying questions that all seem to be up to you to answer.

Test Questions:
1.) You are confronted by a thief, and he tells you to hand over all your money. What do you do ?
2.) One of your neighbors has stolen something from the Imperials, and you have found that out. What do you do ?
3.) For your birthday you get 10 Gold Coins, and are told you can buy whatever you want unless its illegal. What do you buy ?
4.) A friend of yours is being bullied, and he suddenly snaps, and fights back. What do you do ?
5.) You find a bag of coins on the ground as you are out walking. What do you do with it ?
6.) You have time for two hobbies in the afternoons. What are they ?
7.) You see a Unicorn bleeding out in-front of you, and it will soon die without help. What do you do ?
8.) You absolutely love doing a particular task. What is it ?

1. Kick the groin and run away.
2. Call the guards on him if it's a big thing.
3. A fancy suit.
4. Fight as well.
5. Take some coins and find owner.
6. Reading and jogging
7. Use cloths to stop bleeding, find help.
8. Writing.

My vote goes to Time Blossom instead.
