Fantasy The Cost of Peace Students

[silenttiger43]

Hellooooooo! Welcome to school!
Please be at least semi-active if you want to join. Is a post a day too much to ask for? Basic literacy of course and if you do have to vanish just be courteous enough to let me know so that others aren't waiting on you. I appreciate it and others will to.

Please fill out your profiles, I'm excited to read them!
If you decide to be from the mountains, your loyalties towards one country or the other may be questioned, regardless of which you prefer or ended up in. Or do you think the mountains should be their own country?

Appearance:

Name:

Home country: Topros, Eldonia, or mountain vagabond?

Talents (magic or otherwise):

Basic Backstory:

Do you have a weapon or nifty item? Tell us about it:

Other stuff:




Here's one of mine, I'll post a student later.

Name: Lakar

Home Country: Eldonia (mostly)

Talents:
A strong user of Force Magic, a translucent magic often used for creating walls and barriers but can also be channeled as a blast. Don't be fooled by his obvious mage appearance however, Lakar knows how to fight with a variety of weapons and if you disrespect him you'll be in for a wallop on the head by his staff.

Basic Backstory: Lakar was once high mage to the King of Eldonia, a title that earned him more respect in Topros than home. With a voice to the Eldonian King and respect as a mage in Topros, Lakar was able to negotiate the peace treaty. He's made friends and enemies on both sides but still hopes to mend the tragedies between these countries and bring them together at last. Starting this school is a big step towards that, hopefully.

Do you have a weapon or Nifty Item?
Yes.
Lakar's staff is a hard, unyielding oak covered in living vines that twists into a circle on top. At times it radiates with magical power and yet sometimes seems as simple as an old piece of wood. It helps him to channel his force magic so that he is able to extend his range and dexterity with it. It also really hurts if you get wacked.

Other stuff: Some people think that Lakar might not actually be Eldonian but no one has the balls to outright question it. He fought in the war on Eldonia's side but his underlying loyalty seems unclear.

ARON RESTHA

Introduction

INTRODUCTION

Name: Aron Restha
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Home Country: Eldonia

Spoiler: Appearance

Backstory & Extra

BACKSTORY & EXTRA

Basic Backstory: Aron was born from one of the most noble families in Eldonia. He should have lived a wealthy life, but the problem was, he was born with illusion magic. The Restha family were quick to get rid of him, they simply abandoned him in a dustbin outside. However, one of their maids sneaked out one night to retrieve the weeping baby. Her name was Lila. She treated him as her own, but revealed the truth to him on his fourteenth birthday.

Being the brash, emotional child that he was, he lashed out at his blood-related family straight afterwards. This led to Aron being restrained and thrown out on the streets, and Lila, 'disposed' of.

Aron was incredibly angry, frustrated and sad. He felt every kind of despair tear his soul apart.
He couldn't stand the unfairness of it all.

So he decided to try and fix it.

He became a thief, a not very skilled one at that, to survive, and gain enough wealth to be able to travel and apply for the mountain-top academy. It was during this time, he trained his magical abilities as much as possible, which aided his novice thieving skills.

Personality: Brash, emotional, quick to anger, blunt, not good at being friendly, fun, active, kinda dense, blushes easily.

[Raku]

Name: Ander Wolfhart

Age: 17

Home country: Eldonia

Talents: Skilled swordsman, more specifically a short sword. He is also is moderately skilled with a bow. Other than that he is quick and agile.

Basic Backstory: Ander was born and raised in the Eldonian wilderness. He grew up with a father and a mother that would hunt and his father was also a guard for a nearby town. Learning his swordsmanship from his father, he preferred a sword over a bow. Though he still got his bow training in, he was far more skilled with a short sword. He actually had a custom one built for his 13 birthday. From the way his father spoke of him in the barracks, many guards believed they may have another skilled troop join them in the guard. Ander was not aiming to be in the guard though, instead, he wanted to be an adventurer. He wanted to explore the world, not just stay in one place.

Special Weapon: Ander has a custom made short sword with a wolf head etched into the steel of the blade and a wolf head burnt into the leather handle. He always has this on him, calling it the "Blood Wolf"

Other stuff: He is actually rather open to meeting new people, especially those not from Eldonia. He will great almost everyone with a smile and a respectful bow. ​

Sounds great! and what a hawt piece of meat to, rawr ^_- accepted

 

[Trine]

Appearance:

Name: Diana

Age (Guess this is a mandatory field now..?): 18

Home country: Mountain Vagabond (though she has settled in Topros)

Talents (magic or otherwise):
Diana knows how to use conjuration magic, so she can summon non living items within a 2 mile radius. She also knows basic healing magic and how to cancel certain types of traps. She is capable of defending herself with sharp objects such as knives.

Basic Backstory: Diana was born in the mountains. She was raised by her mother, away from civilization. Her mother taught her the arts of magical healing and how to disarm certain traps. One fateful night, her mother was consumed by an old Toprosian venom trap. Diana heard the scream and rushed towards her. Poison was slowly turning her mother's body to a blotched purple. Try as she might, Diana could not heal her. Her mother gave her one last command before breathing in her last: Go to the people in the Desert. Diana obeyed, and started to live among the people of Topros. Nobody seemed to like her much because she was mountain born. She wanted to learn how to disarm all traps, so the mountains would be safe for everyone, but everyone was busy with their own grandiose projects. She was one of the first to volunteer to go to the school in the mountains, since it reminded her of home. She also wanted to see the magic-less people from the bad side of the mountains. She was immediately teleported away and into the school.
"Guess they were really eager to get rid of me..."

Do you have a weapon or nifty item? Tell us about it: Diana has a moon pendant which collects moonlight, then glows if tapped three times, though it's purely magical aesthetics.
She can conjure weapons, though the only weapon she owns is back in Topor, so there's no way she can conjure it.

Other stuff: Diana prefers not to fight, and takes a passive stance. She was taught how to defend herself from some of the creatures from the mountains though.

This sounds awesome! Accepted

 

[Will_0121]

Appearance: ^^^^^^^^^^

Name: Zak Doyle

Home country: Topros

Talents (magic or otherwise): a great swordsman and he can infuse elements (like Fire, Air and water) into his swords to give him abilities. Brewing!

Basic Backstory: Zak lived in Topros with his mother and worked hard everyday at a famous pub. He made an excellent beer in the brewery and he was very proud of it because lots of people now drank it in most pubs. He noticed recently that if he tried he could put different elements into his sword instead of actually trying to cast spells and, One day, he showed Alyssa (his girlfriend) his magic sword technique and it was going all well until all of a sudden the power of his magic infused swords got out of control and because of the fire it accidentally wounded Alyssa. it started setting fire to the grass. She screamed and immediately people came to help her, Zak was mortified at what he had done as he saw the massive cut in her and the destruction he made. She survived, because of the medic healing spells but the people would never forget what Zak had done and all the people would learn to hate him as the rumours of Zak got more exaggerated. Alyssa didn't want to press any charges so he was fine.

That day, as soon as he came home from the rest of his job at the pub he found 2 unknown people in his house "quickly bury her up and take as much as you can!" Said one of the men. Zak's first step into his house immediately opened up his vision to see his mother on the floor with a dagger in her chest. Zak went into a rage taking the two men by surprise and taking them down with a flurry of sword strokes. His mother was dying right in front of him and her last words were, "I love you, now go to that school I told you about and keep your head down and work hard for me ok?"...After This he buried his mother in the back garden and decided he would obey his mother. He gathered up food and his belongings and chose to move out before people knew what had happened. He ended up bieng teleported to the new school but, however, this new distraction could never distract him from the death of his mother.

Do you have a weapon or nifty item? Tell us about it: Swords that can be infused with elements and saxe knifes

Other stuff:
There are rumours around his father was a great swordsman from
Eldonia who had a relationship with his mother, whom was very good with magic, so Zak inherited both skills from them.

He cannot control his abilities of infusing as they get out of control, an accident happened that made him keep it secretive and not tell anyone about it. (look at backstory)

In exchange for having advancing proficiency in swordsmanship and brewing, he lacks in most other skills, such as some magic, archery and lack of control in his powers.

Talents (magic or otherwise): a great swordsman and He can infuse elements (fire,air,water) into his swords to give him abilities.

Basic Backstory: Zak lived in Topros with his mother and he worked hard everyday. He didn't know who his dad was and he was ALLWAYS asking but never got an answer that satisfied him.One day, he came back home from working hard and practising his magic and swordsmanship, (even though people looked down on him for using swords) and found 2 unknown people in his house "quickly bury her up and take as much as you can!" Said one of the men. Zak's first step into his house immediately opened up his vision to see his mother on the floor with a dagger in her chest.

Make your momma proud! accepted

 

[silenttiger43]

Appearance:

Her body is completely covered in tattoos, aside from the majority of her face. Runic symbols crawl along her finger tips and spider down an inch passed her hairline, framing her features. Most of the time that’s all anyone can see but presumably the tattoos go further. Her eyes glow a constant lilac colour.


Name:
Kali’matr


Home country:
Topros


Talents (magic or otherwise):
Unlike most mages, Kali’matr can use nearly every type of magic.


Basic Backstory:
She’s blind and dumb and your teacher!

Kali’matr has been blind since birth, with wild magic that would rage out of her at the slightest temper tantrum. Despite many efforts, she was never able to quell the power within, nor was she able to channel it into any purposely useable forms. Desperate for a solution, Kali’matr had extensive tattoos marked across her body, each one a powerful rune to contain and focus her magic.

Because of this, Kali’matr is able to finally use her abilities to speak telepathically and can see people’s auras which makes it very difficult to sneak up on her-but at the same time if she isn’t careful she could run into a wall. Stupid non-magical walls.

After first meeting Lakar on the battlefield, she grew a deep seeded respect for the old mage and throughout the peace treaty process has found a friend in him. She was more than happy to come and help teach at his new school.


Do you have a weapon or nifty item? Tell us about it:
She carries a staff with her that is carved with many of the same runes that cover her body. It’s mostly a fancy looking walking stick.


Other stuff:

If you forget to shower, she will know.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Appearance:

Name:
Sir Tanus


Home country:
Eldonia


Talents (magic or otherwise):
Very skilled with just about any weapon you can name but prefers basic swordplay.


Basic Backstory:
Tanus grew up a simple farm boy, from a family that had very little. He was hard headed as a child and believed that he could always be more than what his parent’s name offered. The second he was old enough, Tanus enlisted in the army and began training with any weapon he could get his hands on. Quickly climbing through the ranks, Tanus was soon leading his own battalion against the Toprosians.

He grew up with a heavy mistrust of magic users and was responsible for the deaths of many on the battlefield. After a dangerous rockslide in the mountains, Tanus found himself indebted to Lakar for saving the lives of his battalion and himself. Since then he’s bonded with the old mage and has found a new respect for magic users, although anyone but Lakar still makes him a little uneasy.

After the war he became knighted and was allowed to come to Lakar’s new school as a teacher and an olive branch from the Eldonian King.


Do you have a weapon or nifty item? Tell us about it:
Sir Tanus has a simple but well crafted steel sword. He wears light armor but has a set of full battle gear tucked away for emergencies.


Other stuff:

He’s a boxers guy.

 

[silenttiger43]

Appearance:

Not pictured here is that he has Heterochromia, which means that his eyes are mismatched in colour. One eye is green and the other is a striking blue.


Name:
Malum Mauldrich


Home country:
Mountain Vagabond, ended up in the Topros half after the treaty was signed.


Talents (magic or otherwise):
Malum is a type of mage called a leach. He can absorb magic through direct contact but has little of his own to speak of. If you throw a fireball at him, he can absorb it and eventually throw a fireball back at you but it will be much weaker than the one you sent at him.

He also seems to have some increased healing ability but it only really works on himself. It’s not instantaneous either, for instance if you broke his arm it would take a day or two to heal as opposed to weeks or months.


Basic Backstory:
Not much is known about Malum, it’s kind of like he just dropped out of the sky one day and now he’s come to learn at Lakar’s academy.

He gets along easily with others but sometimes he can come across as a bit odd. Sometimes he seems like a different person depending on who he happens to be around which can make him come across as fake but in truth he’s just heavily influenced by surrounding personalities. He’ll naturally mimic the moods of whoever he’s closest to, probably a side effect of his leach abilities.


Do you have a weapon or nifty item? Tell us about it:
Nope. Malum has absolutely nothing but his bare hands and the clothes on his back.


Other stuff:

He does not own a brush and it shows.

 

[silenttiger43]

Name: Zeta Virez

Home Country: Topros

Talents: Fire magic

Basic Backstory: Zeta came from a well off family within Topros. As a show of good faith, some of these families were insisted upon by the pharaoh to send students to the new academy to learn alongside Eldonians. Zeta threw a fit about it for a month before finally being convinced/forced to go.

Do you have a weapon or nifty item?
Nothing of note that would help her in a fight. She does wear a ruby pendant at all times however and while there doesn't seem to be anything magical about it, she's never seen without it.
