A question, although one I foresee the answer too. (Well, two, actually.) Would it be... possible (Let's say down the line in the RP in fact, make it easier.) for A. My character to dual wield...

Name: Rune Age: 20 Dancer or Fighter: Dancer Gender: Male Description: Keen, adventurous and happy-going, to be around Rune is to deal with his contagious positive attitude. At times he will act t
"It was a long time ago... Back many, many millions of years before we had these fictitious little lamps and flying cars... back when it seemed Magic was real again, when Iron and Arrows were the peacemakers... Back in the days where an elegant dancer could ebb away the horrors one could possibly see...That this story takes place, friend."
A leather-gloved hand reached and pulled the shade off of the lamp sat at your table. The smell and bright lights as well as hot fire and wooden ash decorated your senses in fine robes. A small motel, only themed to look like an old-timely inn, but despite it's cleanliness, you would only assume that this would seem like home for someone of that time.
A folk band plucked away at the strings and played their flutes, however you could tell from a glance it was only acting. The well-hidden speakers played the "folk song", as they acted it out. On the stage, standing with them, a female dancer and her male partner. Though they moved gracefully in time with the beat, they almost had no soul to them... The men and women, dressed in the garb of this time but made by machines in a factory, laughed and cheered and played. An act started with a "Bandit" team coming from no where and "kidnapping" a woman, but they were dressed in the garb and the bartender payed no mind to it, only listening to his orders, so it was hard to not understand the situation.
The booth you sat in contained others, but none of which you had memory of ever meeting before this day.
The cloaked man cleared his throat. With it, you wonder when you had ended up in this position. But it didn't matter now, you thought.
The man sitting at the table with you, cloaked in a large, brown shroud of leather and cloth. You couldn't dare go for a glance at his face. The hood hung over his face too low, he would instantly understand what you were doing. He put the lamp shade down, and with a nod, he began to tell the story.
" Back in the days of old, when Humanity was at it's seeming "Peak", it's pinnacle of performance... We were arrogant. Our technology at that time seemed to vastly superior to even what we have done today, but this is just legend, as far as we know. What we know for sure was, that we were, in fact... Arrogant. A virus, like none ever seen before, erupted in our advanced society. It started with one human. Then another, and another..."
"Millions died in the span of a week, some instantly, others spent the whole week suffering through a terrible agony, at least according to record..
...And these were the world's top minds.
With a majority of the best of our species in terms of mind power gone in what seemed a mere instant, the world panicked, naturally, of course. What few individual country areas that still existed began fighting over medicine stock, food, safe water supplies that were filtered and boiled and cleaned extensively for safety. Meanwhile, the non-government humans began to die out. It did not discriminate: the poor rotted with the rich, even the moat advanced medical care couldn't keep people alive....
..Children starved to death without families to feed them... If the virus hadn't already crippled them first..."
You face had contorted to a frown of disgust as the man talked. Such a sad story was not needed in such a time! Why bother? You figure you should leave, but yet, your strength has left your legs and arms. the seat you had taken felt too comfortable now. "I might as well stay..." You drowsily think, forgetting the notion of leaving the area. The speaker went on.
"But even in this dark, bloody time, we managed to cope. Until the different nations began to bomb one-another. No one can blame any specific person's actions. No country had enough to go around, let alone share. The people were desperate.No one could say that one party was wrong in the situation.
The bombs hit hard.
It was nearly the end of the Human Race.
They say, on the last day of bombing, a cure for the virus finally came. It was a miracle that came too late, except for a few lucky souls..."
A cold drip of water falling against your hand brought you back to reality for a moment. A server finally delivered your drink. A swig out of the cup of "Murky" water, and the man continued his story.
"Those lucky souls survived the bombings and virus began to rebuild society from here on in. This time period, a long with a great number of its sciences and records were destroyed, very little to go on as to what happened before, was named The Ending Age. The bombing was the last day of The Ending Age, and marked the beginning of what we are in now, the Endless age. From Year Zero of Endless Age until about 100 EA, the small amount of humans left rebuilt and recreated a small society of people.
Those people had nothing. None of the old tech, they didn't have guns, or bombs, or tanks. They had steel, feathers, string, wood... So they protected themselves with Swords, axes, and bows. Some fought to protect what little was made, some were greedy, and for this reason, a school was founded to make competent warriors to protect everyone else."
The dancers fell from the stage, but you pay them no mind.
"And dancers, one of few entertainments left to this world, followed suit with a school as well."
The "kidnappers" were dragged back in with their "victim" safe and sound, the Knights shoved the "wrongdoers" into the floor and began to make joke of them.
"It was decided to lump the schools together, eventually, as Dancers and Fighters seemed to work together well in this world. The fighters protected the dancers, the dancers kept the fighters fed and armed. It became almost symbiotic in nature, almost unnatural to see a fighter without their Dancer. So, the schools felt it best to work together in tandem to keep social order together."
The "Victim" joined in with the other dancers, seeing as she was dressed like one as well, and one of the Knights lied against the wall, keeping one eye on the trio of spinning people as the crowd cheered.
"And so this is where our story starts. But not tonight. Go home, we will continue tomorrow."
The cloaked man got up suddenly and walked off. You felt the odd enchantment of the story ware off on you, and you walk home, falling asleep soundly in your bed. As you dream, you begin to visualize someone...

RP BACKGROUND
This RP is a partial stat-based RP, much like my RP Kingdom Hearts: The Tirain Pieces. In this RP, your stats will only apply to Boss Battles or in PVP. Outside of that, stats don't pay much role in it. Your stats, however, will be randomly assigned via a RNG (Random Number Generator) and via what specific class you choose. This is mainly just for balancing and for fun, there will be shops with equipment, quests, ect,.
Follow the basic rules of the RP section, no Godmodding, and just in general be a good person.
There are NO limits to how many can be a class, but if you choose one class, and someone chooses the other, you may be paired up with that person.
On that note, I would like to Request But not make it a rule that you have only one character. If you choose to have another character, it may give you unfair advantages or disadvantages. But if you feel it won't be an issue, or really want another character, you can have another.
Other than that, everything is fine, I hope you enjoy and have tons of fun! Can't wait to see you all in game!
