Fantasy Legends of Nomai: The Silver Isle

Shadowmancer

The Immaturenator
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~IC THREAD HERE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Many years ago, in the land of Nomai, a great war between brothers tore the land apart. King Rohphir fought against his brother, Armahn, who wished to destroy the land and to enslave her people. The war raged for a decade, many sons and fathers dying in its destructive path until, one fateful night, Armahn was defeated by a grand sorcerer who burned him until there was nothing of his remains...or this unnamed sorcerer.


Twelve years passed and the Safir kingdom began to birth new life. The plains rolled with luscious, green grass and the forest dawned tall and mighty trees of which grew in thick, shady shelters. The mountains seemed to even stand taller as they towered high into the clouds. While peace seemed to flood Nomai, there were still battles and brawls between her many races over many a trifling matter. However, King Rohphir was a just and wise king, mending the land with every argument that entered his courtroom.


Now, there was one place where not even Rohphir's grace could reach. The Silver Isle. A dark, lifeless place that called fourth shadowy creatures from the mist and surrounded itself with fog and haze. Evil lurked in its waters along the shore and devils would slink between the dying trees as they watched unfortunate souls shipwreck on its rocky shores.


Whispers of an evil began to shutter through Nomai, unsettling those under Rohphir's reign. Fishermen and men of sea disappeared as the darkness of the Silver Isle made its presence known. Something was stirring and Rohphir knew the time of Great Evil was nearing.


Thus, this is where our story begins....


Here's the Character Sheet. You don't have to make the bio long, but do give us a quick summery of your character. Please keep in mind that this will be a casual/detailed casual RP.


Just PM me your Character when you've finished. :)

Shadowmancer:





Name: Kira Ryic


Age: 28


Gender: Female


Race: Elf


Appearance:
image-jpg.119165



Personality: Reserved and proud (as most elves tend to be), Kira does not take kindly to strangers, often giving them a cold shoulder and harsh tongue. She rarely smiles, but when she does it is quite a sight to behold. Kira holds grudges and is firm when she speaks, demanding discipline and maturity. At times she can be overbearing and sometimes unintentionally hurtful, but a sharp retort usually evens the playing field. All around general stick in the mud personality.


History: Kira grew up in the time of war. The land was split and so was her household. While her father left her mother to join Armahn's army, her mother stayed behind as a healer for Rohphir and his court as she struggled to raise her.


Kira saw many a wounded soldier as she grew up, most of whom died in front of her. By the time she was eleven, five years into the war, Kira had learned her mother's ways and helped her heal the injured while secretly learning the sword.


As the war raged on Kira grew cold and her mother grew sick. After nine years of constant suffering walking through their doors. it was finally wearing her mother thin. Just after Kira's fifteenth birthday which fell just days before the anniversary of the war, a man was dragged, almost lifeless, through their doors by Safiran soldiers. He was badly wounded and beaten, like the rest that had been brought to their doors, however, this time it was one of Armahn's men.


The Safiran soldiers demanded him healed, however, Kira refused, hoping that the man would suffer and die slowly, but her mother was gracious and kind as she headed to the soldiers request. The man lay for four days as her mother struggled to keep him alive, when one evening, as she was tending to his wounds, the man jolted awake, grabbed her frail body and killed her. The man fled and was shortly thereafter apprehended and killed. He was her father.


Kira became bitter as she completed her mother's work alone. The war ended and Rohphir called for her to become the court healer in place of her mother. She did not refuse, but on several occasions let certain men slip to death.


Weapon: Dual katana. She is also handy with a bow.


Beowulf:





Name: Buras


Age: Around thirty, probably a little under.



Gender: Male



Race: Wildling



Appearance:






(Best I could find and still I don't like it.)



Bio/History: Wildlings are a variant of elves, except they have animalistic features such as ears and a tail. They are more often then not segregated in the elven community, which didn't help his impression of "regular" elves. In fact, he rather hates them. Always thinking so high and mighty of themselves. Would serve them right if someone knocked them down a peg or ten. But his opinion of humans isn't much better. They go right to his abnormal features. Why can't they ever notice his eyes or smile or something besides his ears and tail?



Other/Weapon of Choice: A simple hand and a half sword. Nothing fancy. But he does dabble in some magic. Simple stuff, like hurling a rock at you or maybe a fire ball. A small dust devil to get, well, dust in your eyes. Little things.







Mr. Mopp:





Name: Trina


Age: 18


Gender: Female


Race: Skinchanger (a person who changes into an animal)


Appearance: Brown hair. Green eyes.


(Feral appearance: picture a giant, bulky, ridiculously muscular, brown wolf that weighs about 700 lbs, can stand on its hind feet like a bear, and has big, rotatable paws with claws the size of your fingers.


Bio/History: Trina lived with her mother, grandfather and three older brothers in the woods on the mountains, an ideal location considering that all of them (except for mom) were shape shifters who took the form of wolves. They made their living as trappers and hunters, illegally hunting deer and selling their wares to the townsfolk below because, frankly, no one in that region gave a darn about poaching. This worked out fine until Trina hit puberty and started manifesting some of her mothers grizzlybear traits on top of her wolf form. As Trina grew bigger, the townsfolk below started to take notice of a "monster wolf" wandering around the woods. It got to the point where one or two hunters would occasionally shoot at her (and consequently get mauled). Not that a few arrows would be enough to take down something of her bulk but the last thing she wanted was to put her family secret in jeopardy, so Trina figured it was best that she left for a little while until the heat died down.


Personality: if you took Beorn from The Hobbit and made him a moody, loud mouthed tomboy, you'd get Trina.


(Feral personality: kiss anger management and impuls controle goodbye )


Weapon of Choice: Bow/arrows and tomahawk.


Other: Given that her alternate form is a 700 lb predator, Trina can eat three times what a normal woman her age could and still stay skinny. And yes, she can digest raw meat.


Sora:





Name: Leo Vhelan


Age: 15 1/2


Gender: Male


Race: Human


Appearance:
image-jpg.119131



Personality: Leo is incredibly intelligent for his age and very kind to others, which is a surprise considering his past. He loves the company of all kinds of people and loves to read.. And train. Although generally giving off a calm and composed demeanour, he has an angry side nobody wants to witness. His pet hate is seeing people suffer


Bio/History:


Leo was born from two mage parents who both had a thirst for magic and the mundane, they would do almost anything to achieve their goals, and were normally associated with evil magics due to their harsh thinking, although that is not the case.


When he reached five, Leo became subject to their Magical experiments, they took him to a darkened room under the house and used magic focus crystals to channel arcane energy into him, granting him the powers he has now, although a breakthrough for his parents, Leo was less amused. Unable to control his powers he went on a rampage, killing his parents in the process.


After that he lived in the 'family' home alone until he heard rumours of the Silver Isle and wanted to find out more.. That's where Leo' story begins.


Other/Weapon of Choice: He has the ability of Telekinesis and Levitation.


Misc: Leo has still to master some forms of his powers. If he overthinks too much or expends too much magical energy at once it could cause serious damage to him, so he is always careful.


Trundle:






Name: Okami Umbris


Age(Human years for the sake of sanity): 27



Race: Super human.



Appearance:
image-jpg.119155



Bio/History: WIP



Other/Weapon of Choice: Chained scythes and his umbra kinesis.






(Just waiting on the rest of the CSs from some people.)

I'd be interested, depending on how the plot will unfold. Will creatures be on their way to Nomai? What will be the roles of the PCs?
 
I'm thinking of such things to occur. My brain is a little fuzzy at the moment, but I figure all ideas and plot twist are welcome. I do have a few things I'll be incorporating for plot twists etc, but I like to have these open for discussion. What would you like to see or play out?
 
I think it would be cool for the Silver Isle to always have existed (as mentioned in your title, it's been a legend) and its danger mostly known, though it never came as a threat because it was across the sea. For it to become far more dangerous to the society of Nomai, I believe it would be very interesting if something, or someone, finally rallied these creatures into working as one mass, or an army, and brought them overseas.


Maybe Nomai is sent into a dark age as these creatures take control, but a group (the PCs) rises up to try and do their best to put an end to the Great Evil?
 
That's precisely what I was thinking. Along with other rising struggles, I'm thinking about introducing the Dark Age with a massacre of one of the villages, so Rohphir collects a group to investigate the Isle.


 
Bump.
 
Id like to say that I absolutely love this idea for a role play and I want this to be a thing. It's just beautiful. But I do have one question. What races are allowed?
 
@Trundle, I'm so glad you like it. :)


I'm pretty much down with whatever, elves, orcs, dwarves, halfbreeds, wizards, centaurs or anything else you can come up with as long as they are reasonable beings that have weaknesses and feelings etc.


I'll edit in a CS for you guys.
 
~chuckles~ It's done.


@Sora: That's fine, no rush. :)


 
Also, there is only one request. Please only past tense, third person writing. My brain hurts trying to flip flop between past and present posts. >.<'
 
Alrighty, just make a CS and either post it or PM it to me. I can edit the character sheets into my opening post. (I'll get this thread moved soon.)
 
Should Personality be included?

Just remember everyone, limitations and weaknesses are very important in this RP. [is planning something evil. ]


While this is a fantasy world, let's try to limit the superhuman abilities some unless you are a socerer or wizard. :] Limitations are key for growth in a character. [Especially in this one. ^.^]


Here's my Character:

Name: Kira Ryic


Age: 28


Gender: Female


Race: Elf


Appearance:<p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2015_05/image.jpg.a48868f8e76c8039dae0e624b1be1ca1.jpg" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="51975" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2015_05/image.jpg.a48868f8e76c8039dae0e624b1be1ca1.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p>
