{This roleplay is currently closed to new characters due to being in the final stages.  Thank you for reading!}

 

Have you ever wondered why it rains in the worst possible moment?  Does it ever feel like someone is watching you?  Why are you really so scared of the dark, when there is almost always nothing there?

 

The truth is, there are explanations to all of these things, only we as humans lack the knowledge of them.

 

Far above us in the medieval era dwells a kingdom--no, a world--filled with whimsy, fantasy and phenomena of your wildest dreams.  The world dwells above the clouds, filled with rich stone walls, cobblestone homes, water fountains aplenty, and the palaces whose splendor rivals even that of the great King Alderon down below in the human world.  This world is beautiful, massive, and rich.

 

But who could live in this world, you are probably asking yourself, if this happened long, long ago back in the age of medieval living?  If there are no planes, how could people reach this magnificent place?  And if humans did not know of this world, then what could possibly live there?  There is only one simple explanation, and that explanation is the very reality of what lives there: fey.

 

Fey, all sorts of fey.  Predominately fairies, though they are not your average fairy that you read about in a bedtime story.  They are in every sense of the word human, only they are gifted with three things that the mere human does not possess: magic, immortality, and flight.  The range of fey that dwell in the Overworld vary, from fairies, imps, minotaurs, eidolons, vampires, and just about any mythical race.  While it would seem they have a paradise, it may be surprising that they desire something much, much more, more expansive such as the world below.

 

Which has brought them into the disaster that has befallen them today.

 

A young fey, perhaps three hundred years old, ventured into the forbidden world below, sneaking past security with his two friends.  He met many humans, many curious, some kind, and others . . . more power-thirsty than anything.  A dreadful fate befell the three friends: one had been kept by the human King Alderon for his own dark experimental purposes, another died while trying to save him, and the last made it home, but was punished so severely he'd wished that he'd died.  While the majority of the underworld do not know of the existence of the Fey kingdom, King Alderon does, and he's attempting to reign supreme over all the kingdoms of his world.  In doing so he plans to use the one weapon he doesn't have and is known as a forgotten art: magic.  Yes, magic existed within these young fey, and he would stop at nothing to obtain these magics for his own purposes, even if it meant draining the poor fey dry of their magic, killing them in the process of transferring this magic into their own warriors.

 

You have a choice: to be human, or be a member of the mythical race of the Overworld preparing for the greatest of wars between worlds.  If you are a human you wouldn't know anything about fey, unless you serve directly under King Alderon and know of his plans.  If you are of the Overworld you have never been to the main world, but rather have only heard stories and probably yearn to see what it is like.  Travel between the worlds is forbidden for fey, to prevent the very tragedy that the young boy had created.  You may choose most any race for an Overworld dweller, though if I feel it isn't a good fit or is over-powered I may decline the race.

 

The rules consist of:

 

1.) No god-modding.

2.) No auto-hitting or mass slaughter.  This means if you are battling someone don't make your hit automatically meet its target, but rather have it aimed at a player and they choose whether the attack hits or misses.  No mass slaughter means don't kill off a bunch of NPCs without permission.

3.) Go with the plot, and please choose a character that fits well with the world and setting.

4.) Original characters only.  If you would like to use a canon character please modify them until they are your own creation, and rather inspired by a canon character.

5.) When in a group of other people, please post after everyone in your group has posted.  I don't want anyone to fall too far behind.

6.) Keep everything PG-13, please.

7.) Romance is permitted, but again please remember rating restrictions.

8.) Please don't have invincible characters.  While you get to choose whether your character is hit by an attack, don't make them avoid everything or else it seems like god-modding.

9.) Don't be over-powered.

10.) All KH13 rules apply.

11.) This is going to be a heavy world-building roleplay, that will rely heavily on plot and character interaction.  I intend to keep this roleplay going for a considerable length of time, though it may not be entirely fast to update.  Having said that, please try to post at least once every two weeks, but if you are going to be away please let me know and we will make arrangements for your characters.  Should you remain absent for an extended length of time, I reserve the right to utilize your characters as I deem fit for the RP's progression.

12.) Have fun!

 

Now, here is the character sheet.  There is no maximum amount of characters that you can possess, but I would like for you to only control as many characters as you can reasonably handle:

I hope to have some maps drafted of the world in the near future, and if anyone would like to suggest some names for locations please feel free to.  Thanks for your interest!

I wanted to let you guys know that you're doing a remarkable and wonderful job with the worldbuilding characteristics of roleplaying.  It does my heart wonders to see character and environmental depth and triggers a more creative side to me in writing and several other art forms.  With that said, thank you all.

Just wanted to let you guys know that for the next week or so I may be relatively unavailable.  We are moving next weekend and are in the process of getting all loose ends tied up.  I'll also be without Internet for a little while, so on those days you can definitely count me out.  I will try to keep things rolling to the best of my ability, though, and hopefully get things on a more active path soon.

 

That being said, does anyone have any characters that seem stuck or unable to progress story-wise?  Or you just don't have much to do with them?  I was able to make plans for the original cast into the plot, with the addition of new characters I haven't done well with integrating them.  So again, let me know if I'm ignoring someone that needs to be a part of things more.

...............The angel says it'd be easier...the devil says easier to feed. I'd say yes but if you can give me a good idea of her character I can do my best!

Gah, sorry for taking forever to respond to this.  I don't wish to trouble you with Fiona, but I thought it may be more fun if you were able to actually control her.

 

Are you familiar with Flora from Fire Emblem Fates?  She was on my mind when creating her, but basically she is a sweet girl who loves adventure and exploration.  Obviously as a maid her life is confined to the palace walls and she seldom has the opportunity for excitement, danger, and exploration, but she loves all of these things and I'm sure she heavily admires Eclaire for her lifestyle of having traveled from place-to-place.  Fiona would rather be a knight, but she feels that her path is sort of destined for her.

 

She is rather docile and very obedient.  She would never do something that would betray the queen or her new mistress.  I'm thinking that she is fairly young, probably 16 or 17, but you're welcome to customize her age (and her personality, for that matter) as you see fit.  Would you like me to post for you once more before you take over to conclude the scene, or would you like to take things from here?  I'm good either way.

 

And posted!

 

And Henry's route has been updated!

 

 

 

 

 

Come get me Unversed/Mystics

*Everyth pants as she treks down the long path in hyper-speed mode*

 

He's making good progress, and I keep forgetting about Everyth as a whole.  At the moment she's not too concerned about Henry's escape, as she very much believes that fate will have them meet again.  I think that could get quite interesting, especially since they both share Ariana's blood.  I wonder if there would be an odd clash of their powers of sorts, since it is basically the same blood and power going against itself?

 

I wanted to let you guys know that you're doing a remarkable and wonderful job with the worldbuilding characteristics of roleplaying.  It does my heart wonders to see character and environmental depth and triggers a more creative side to me in writing and several other art forms.  With that said, thank you all.

Yes, indeed!  This has been a terrific roleplaying experience so far and I'm very much enjoying the progress.  I'm loving how everyone is contributing to the plot so wonderfully as well as the development of the cast!

Lol, there could possibly be some power clash. But the way I see it, the experiments had different effects on every subject. what with one gaining Wolverine levels of regen, one guy able to harden his skin and create rock armor as well as control fire and darkness. 

 

And everyth with her own. 

 

Definitely some interesting possibilities.

 

As for stuck characters, I don't have anything to do with Typhon other than talk with Mikhail for now . any ideas would be welcome

Just a heads up, I'm not going to be able to post for Jynn until next week (sorry Unversed) due to a short two day cruise.

Well, Typhon seemed interested in doing something regarding Jynn.

One more post, to give me a good idea of how she is. I never got Fiora, sorry. I haven't gotten very far in Fates tbh Dx.

I managed to post! Yes!

 

 

And Henry's route has been updated!

 

Come get me Unversed/Mystics

 

You know I'm pretty darn tempted to just make a new human character just to attack Henry & his friends right now haha

Also, I kinda thought Mystic would use Everyth to pursue Henry

 

 

I wanted to let you guys know that you're doing a remarkable and wonderful job with the worldbuilding characteristics of roleplaying.  It does my heart wonders to see character and environmental depth and triggers a more creative side to me in writing and several other art forms.  With that said, thank you all.

 

Hey thanks man! It's actually easy for me to be creative & create new things since my mind doesn't live in this reality haha I broke my mind's rules & limits so to speak haha But I'm glad to see others becoming more creative & inspired. You know I really love character development more than world development as I want to see what story the character has to tell me, I also like finding common ground with them to which to connect with the character more. I'm kinda wondering if any of my characters have connected or are starting to grow on any anyone here in some way? I know it's a silly thought but I like to think my characters can influence the readers in some way. Also just what are these other forms of art do you speak of? cause my writing also influences my artwork, which is drawing haha  Also what Rufus said about those bugs being juiced, funny as! haha I never thought you'd bring that up again haha nice.

 

Just wanted to let you guys know that for the next week or so I may be relatively unavailable.  We are moving next weekend and are in the process of getting all loose ends tied up.  I'll also be without Internet for a little while, so on those days you can definitely count me out.  I will try to keep things rolling to the best of my ability, though, and hopefully get things on a more active path soon. 

 

Wait, your moving again? or are you just getting things tied down still?

Anyway, I hope to continue the RP when you return as I'm just loving this whole thing to much haha it's great fun with great RPers & their characters

 

 

Just a heads up, I'm not going to be able to post for Jynn until next week (sorry Unversed) due to a short two day cruise.

Well, Typhon seemed interested in doing something regarding Jynn.

 

Hold up man! I know I'm late to reply here but, your telling me, your going on another cruise?... I'll say what I said to you last time... you lucky dog haha see ya when ya get back Jynn, which might be now I guess... welcome back! haha

Edited November 9, 20168 yr by The Unversed

COme on then Unversed Maybe your bounty hunter character can try something? (the one without an arm I saw in an earlier post somewhere of yours).

 

Oh by the way. Since I found some new art.

 

This is Henry's current armor.

 

 

 

Minus the helmet...until he needs to use it anyway.

I might also make Mikhail an character, I love the old guy. And he has SOOO much customization that I can do to him.

Edited November 9, 20168 yr by Scrapmaster

Aaand im making Mikhail a legit character, cuz I don't know any better and i've been marathoning The witcher 3 once again.

 

 

Name: Mikhail Of Ravix.

 

 

Gender: Male

 

 

Race: Witcher (Enhanced through mutagens Fey).

 

 

Age: 4986

 

 

Appearance: 

 

 

Clad in his light armor: 

 

 

 

 

Light, tough, magicaly enhanced to increase his overrall swordsmanship skills and agility. The armor allows Mikhail to match his foes in speed, albeit not as much as other speedsters.

 

 

Magic: Witcher Signs: A variety of quick to cast, low cost, but effective spells they can utilize mid battle or outside without too much issue, with a small cooldown in between sign usage. 

 

The normal witcher comes with five main signs and one last resort sign. 

 

 

Aard:

 

 

A strong, quick and capable of good range telekinetic blast. The witcher makes a sign gesture with his hand and casts the sign forward (or onto the ground for an AoE shockwave). For a strong telekinetic blast, which does no damage by itself, but can lead to an opponent being staggered and knocked off his feet 

 

 

Mikhail's expertise through years of battle has given his Aard a increased effect, in both knockback and range.

 

 

"Aard...Effective, simple to use, and with plenty of usage out of combat. Gotta love the simplicity."

 

 

Igni:

A witcher's only real main damage dealing sign, yet it is used for more crowd control and weakening defenses more than anything.

 

Igni is a high intensity flame burst or flame stream (depending on the witcher's preference). It can ignite flamable targets (obviously) as well as others harder to set fire upon, unless they are immune to it altogether, very effective against plate armor and other types, as the armor soaks up the insane heat from the burst of flames, melting the user opponent from the inside, especially useful against armored monsters. Such as a Shaelmar.

 

 

Mikhail's expertise has allowed his Igni sign to be much more intense than other Witcher's. Capable of melting low grade plate armor in short notice.

 

 

"Aaah Igni, very commonly used against crowds, more so than aard, simply because of its flaming properties, burning multiple targets at medium range is very useful. Not very useful against elementals or monsters made out of pure raw material...I hate golems."

 

 

Axii:

Possibly the most well known and most commonly used sign by any self respecting witcher. What Axii does is what any good ilusion mage Thrives to do, influence an opponent's mind or rather "Charm" them, instantly winning conversations, haggling, defusing fights, collecting information, stunning an opponent in combat, its the swiss army knife of the witchers when it comes to living beings. Be it monster or Human/Fey, if they have a mind, it can be influenced by Axii, though it is no mind control, and its effects may vary on the target and their mind. With enough experience the Witcher may even use it to "Charm" an opponent's mind, causing him to attack his allies.

 

 

Mikhail's expertise, while he uses it mostly to defuse a needless fight, and to convince a contract giver to give a bit more, or to collect valuable info on his target, Mikhail's Axii is not much stronger than a common illusion or mind spell. But he knows when to use it and when to not use it. At least.

 

 

"Axii...Useful sign, yet dangerous, one can easily get addicted to using it, many a times this has saved me from needless fistfights and having to kill hostile locals."

 

 

Quen :

 

"The witcher's shield", is its nickname. Quen is a barrier type sign, which the witcher casts on himself creating a barrier around his body, this barrier blocks and deflects a certain ammount of damage of all sources, a small ammount of damage is blocked, but it is guaranteed to block one hit from an enemy. combatant, unless the attack is extremely powerful enough to break through it altogether.

 

Upon Quen breaking, it releases a shockwave of energy, knocking back the attacker. Without doing damage.

 

 

Mikhail's Expertise has allowed him an active version of Quen, he may cast a bubble like shield around him, protecting him from harm, with a percentage of damage done healing him. However it can only block little, and a strong enough attack will not only break through his barrier but hit him full force as well, damaging him. 

 

 

"Quen, how many times have you saved my life? I lost count, you heal, you protect, i'd kiss the man who invented you."

 

 

Yrden:

The trap sign, With this, The witcher places a magic rune on the ground, and upon the target stepping on it, it releases a jolt of restraining energy, and holds them in place. Perfect for big targets, as they get stuck within the trap, leaving them open for Mikhail to strike them. The ttrap doesn't last very long and can be broken through with sheer force or magic quite easily, again, its mostly for restraining.

 

 

Mikhail never got very far with Yrden, he always thought it didn't hold the targets long enough. So his Sign has a bit more restraining power.

 

"Sometimes I don't know why I use you, other times im extremely grateful you exist..."

 

 

Abilities: 

 

 

A witcher's Physique: A witcher is especificaly made to fight monsters and other fey/humans alike, so their strenght, agility, toughness, reaction times, vision are all enhanced to the point of being abover the best of the best feys in physical traits, however this doesn't equal in skill, and an equaly skilled  opponent stands a good chance. The witchers can see in the dark, and have an extraordinarily attuned sense of smell and awareness. Many cases have the witcher Smelling and tracking his target through smell alone. As other they can detect from up to 40m of distance easily. One needs to be extremely good at stealth to avoid a witcher's senses.

 

 

One thing to note is that, while they are stronger and faster than normals. Their vitality and overrall toughness aren't much higher than regular warrior feys. In fact Witchers are more considered Glass cannons than full blown warriors

Witchers also see in the dark due to their viper-like, glowing eyes.

 

 

"Changed us so much to achieve so little, funny really. Now we have to deal with being treated as freaks and folks spitting as we pass." 

 

A Witcher's metabolism: Mikhail especially, can brew many potions, which would outright kill a common fey using them in an agonizing death, and use them in battle or outside of battle. These vary from the usual healing potions "Swallow" (Light regen) and "Gadwal" (High Regen with a minor strength drawback). From the magical enhancing potions Like "Petri's Philter" (Magic power) And "Tawny owl". (magic recovery/cooldown). From the strenghtening and reflex increasing potions like "Thunderbolt" (Damage increase) and Blizzard (Reflex increase).  All of which varying in toxicity (Mikhail can only imbibe so much, and NEVER  more than three). 

He can also make bombs and blade oils for an extra edge in battle.

 

Mikhail's mutation (An unique effect due to an experiment): allows him a passive increase in power and agility depending on the ammount of toxicity he has in his system from the potions. Not a huge increase, but a noticeable one nonetheless.

 

 

"Not proud of it."

 

Note: Potions are MUCH more effective and last MUCH longer when used outside of battle, when used in the middle of battle their effect is lessened and their duration cut shorter. Toxicity only decreases after the potion's effects wear off.

 

(Example: In battle potion life: 1 minute, outside of battle: 15-20 minutes + increased effect).

 

 

"Witcher potions...regular poison for normal people".

 

Weapons: Witcher's steel and silver blades.

 

Two well made and designed, nameless swords with no history. Simply crafted by a good blacksmith at Mikhail's order. While there are better swords out there, a Witcher's sword needs to be durable, strong, light and very, very sharp. 

 

The steel sword is better used against Humans,feys,dwarves, elves and whatnot. The blade designed to cut but also to parry incoming blows pose an admirable threat to combatants, Mikhail is precise enough in his slashes to attack weakpoints in one's armor, such as the joints and open spots on the arms. Quickly incapacitating or killing opponents.

 

Whereas Silver is for monsters, magic beings (Note, just because you can use magic doesn't mean you have to be fought with silver). And other supernatural creatures. Silver is the most effective weapon against them, and against them, their wounds don't heal as quickly, they feel a burning sensation along with the slashes, and specificaly designed silver can hit apparitions as well.

 

Witchers are known to be extrarodinary swordsmen, capable to taking multiple opponents head on, while leaving with but a few scratches and small scars. They do not fight like normal warriors, engaging head on. No. They twirl around, they dodge and sidestep and parry graciously, almost as if battle was a dance for them. They are literally a whirlwind of slashes and magic signs that only few, very skilled opponents can fight against. If one can predict the attacks, and block them accordingly. They will had an edge, because if you throw off a Witcher's rythm, they are in deep trouble.

 

"Steel and Silver, both are for monsters".

 

Personality: Gruff, Snarky, overral doesn't respect anyone before being respected beforehand. Quick to annoy but not to anger. Yet admiringly noble (for a witcher), Kind and caring to his friends. He is not one to insult others outright, but he will criticize others for mistakes or lack of attitude. 

 

A witcher never accepts a job without payment, he will haggle, and he will negotiate for a contract. Its his job to hunt monsters who trouble others. While harmless ones don't need to suffer, he even condemns the mistreatment of magical beings that mean no harm and will protect them if he has the chance.

 

Biography: 

 

The story of the witchers

 

Witchers are not very well known, well, not in present times. But before, when civilizations of feys were beginning, where the present empires back then were only but a small to medium sized village with little in the way of protection against incoming monster hordes. The feys needed something else to fight off the monsters.

 

And so came the witchers. Specificaly built warriors to fight off monsters and men alike, the witchers ushered a new age for kingdoms and cities to thrive. From their own blood, sweat and lives they fell monsters who plagued cities. But as time passed, and the development of magic and overral army force for kingdom's increased with time. The witchers lost their reputation and began being shunned by the populace. Witcher schools were destroyed and guilds invaded by peasants and kingdom guards alike, to kill these

"abominations". Due to their inhuman experiments and trials, which only left 3 out of ten healthy kids alive. whom became witchers and set off on their path.

 

There is no current record of a working witcher guild presently, The teachings and experiments of how to make witchers lost in time forever.  

 

Witchers are a thing of the past, but one once in a while can prove very useful. And that is what Mikhail is for many kingdoms and villages, whom he remains neutral to.

 

 

Mikhail himself was taken to the witchers as a young kid, passed through the grueling experiments and trials and became a well known witcher, his villge of Ravix destroyed and lost in time, now another kingdom stands in its stead...one Mikhail does not wish to share  the name of.

 

Mikhail has been on the path for milenias, never too much work, and never too little. Often doing the regular odd job for change, since a monster contract is not always there. Mikhail has gained quite a large reputation throughout the land, one of the last few surviving witchers who continue hunting monsters for a living. He is well known, feared and respected by many kingdoms.

 

Having had dealings with almost all kingdoms in the overworld and meeting their rulers personaly, he especificaly remembers his meeting with Shiva and her Armor guardian. 'A good and silly bunch' he comments about them when asked. He also met Raiden and his personal bodyguard Alastor. As well as having the displeasure of interrupting Midneah's punishers once.

A memory he does not remember so fondly, for he got his ass kicked. Then again it was him against multiple experienced magical beings,  it was not the easiest engagement he ever had. 

 

Mikhail continues on his path, hunting monsters, awaiting the day some higher purpose is needed of him.

Okay, I wanted to provide a little update and confirm that I am still among the living.  We moved our stuff into the new house on Saturday night, moved in ourselves yesterday, and I should have Internet at the new place hopefully on Friday, if not Monday.

 

I'm going to try to post sooner if I can, though.  I'm heading to the local library for wifi, predominately for school but I'll try to get a post in there.  Once I have Internet again I'm going to pull this RP from its mini-hiatus, and see about getting a series of interesting events taking place, perhaps even some of those larger battles we all have been looking forward to. ; )  Characters who hadn't intended to pick a side may find themselves doing so with these change of events that are about to unfold.

 

Thanks for your patience during this very busy time!

A witcher's Physique: A witcher is especificaly made to fight monsters and other fey/humans alike, so their strenght, agility, toughness, reaction times, vision are all enhanced to the point of being abover the best of the best feys in physical traits, however this doesn't equal in skill, and an equaly skilled  opponent stands a good chance. The witchers can see in the dark, and have an extraordinarily attuned sense of smell and awareness. Many cases have the witcher Smelling and tracking his target through smell alone. As other they can detect from up to 40m of distance easily. One needs to be extremely good at stealth to avoid a witcher's senses.

 

 

 

One thing to note is that, while they are stronger and faster than normals. Their vitality and overrall toughness aren't much higher than regular warrior feys. In fact Witchers are more considered Glass cannons than full blown warriors

Witchers also see in the dark due to their viper-like, glowing eyes.

 

 

"Changed us so much to achieve so little, funny really. Now we have to deal with being treated as freaks and folks spitting as we pass." 

 

A Witcher's metabolism: Mikhail especially, can brew many potions, which would outright kill a common fey using them in an agonizing death, and use them in battle or outside of battle. These vary from the usual healing potions "Swallow" (Light regen) and "Gadwal" (High Regen with a minor strength drawback). From the magical enhancing potions Like "Petri's Philter" (Magic power) And "Tawny owl". (magic recovery/cooldown). From the strenghtening and reflex increasing potions like "Thunderbolt" (Damage increase) and Blizzard (Reflex increase).  All of which varying in toxicity (Mikhail can only imbibe so much, and NEVER  more than three). 

 

He can also make bombs and blade oils for an extra edge in battle.

 

Mikhail's mutation (An unique effect due to an experiment): allows him a passive increase in power and agility depending on the ammount of toxicity he has in his system from the potions. Not a huge increase, but a noticeable one nonetheless.

 

 

 

"Not proud of it."

 

Note: Potions are MUCH more effective and last MUCH longer when used outside of battle, when used in the middle of battle their effect is lessened and their duration cut shorter. Toxicity only decreases after the potion's effects wear off.

 

(Example: In battle potion life: 1 minute, outside of battle: 15-20 minutes + increased effect).

 

 

"Witcher potions...regular poison for normal people".

 

Weapons: Witcher's steel and silver blades.

 

 

Two well made and designed, nameless swords with no history. Simply crafted by a good blacksmith at Mikhail's order. While there are better swords out there, a Witcher's sword needs to be durable, strong, light and very, very sharp. 

 

The steel sword is better used against Humans,feys,dwarves, elves and whatnot. The blade designed to cut but also to parry incoming blows pose an admirable threat to combatants, Mikhail is precise enough in his slashes to attack weakpoints in one's armor, such as the joints and open spots on the arms. Quickly incapacitating or killing opponents.

 

Whereas Silver is for monsters, magic beings (Note, just because you can use magic doesn't mean you have to be fought with silver). And other supernatural creatures. Silver is the most effective weapon against them, and against them, their wounds don't heal as quickly, they feel a burning sensation along with the slashes, and specificaly designed silver can hit apparitions as well.

 

Witchers are known to be extrarodinary swordsmen, capable to taking multiple opponents head on, while leaving with but a few scratches and small scars. They do not fight like normal warriors, engaging head on. No. They twirl around, they dodge and sidestep and parry graciously, almost as if battle was a dance for them. They are literally a whirlwind of slashes and magic signs that only few, very skilled opponents can fight against. If one can predict the attacks, and block them accordingly. They will had an edge, because if you throw off a Witcher's rythm, they are in deep trouble.

 

"Steel and Silver, both are for monsters".

 

Personality: Gruff, Snarky, overral doesn't respect anyone before being respected beforehand. Quick to annoy but not to anger. Yet admiringly noble (for a witcher), Kind and caring to his friends. He is not one to insult others outright, but he will criticize others for mistakes or lack of attitude. 

 

 

A witcher never accepts a job without payment, he will haggle, and he will negotiate for a contract. Its his job to hunt monsters who trouble others. While harmless ones don't need to suffer, he even condemns the mistreatment of magical beings that mean no harm and will protect them if he has the chance.

 

Biography: 

 

The story of the witchers

 

 

Witchers are not very well known, well, not in present times. But before, when civilizations of feys were beginning, where the present empires back then were only but a small to medium sized village with little in the way of protection against incoming monster hordes. The feys needed something else to fight off the monsters.

 

And so came the witchers. Specificaly built warriors to fight off monsters and men alike, the witchers ushered a new age for kingdoms and cities to thrive. From their own blood, sweat and lives they fell monsters who plagued cities. But as time passed, and the development of magic and overral army force for kingdom's increased with time. The witchers lost their reputation and began being shunned by the populace. Witcher schools were destroyed and guilds invaded by peasants and kingdom guards alike, to kill these

"abominations". Due to their inhuman experiments and trials, which only left 3 out of ten healthy kids alive. whom became witchers and set off on their path.

 

There is no current record of a working witcher guild presently, The teachings and experiments of how to make witchers lost in time forever.  

 

Witchers are a thing of the past, but one once in a while can prove very useful. And that is what Mikhail is for many kingdoms and villages, whom he remains neutral to.

 

 

Mikhail himself was taken to the witchers as a young kid, passed through the grueling experiments and trials and became a well known witcher, his villge of Ravix destroyed and lost in time, now another kingdom stands in its stead...one Mikhail does not wish to share  the name of.

 

Mikhail has been on the path for milenias, never too much work, and never too little. Often doing the regular odd job for change, since a monster contract is not always there. Mikhail has gained quite a large reputation throughout the land, one of the last few surviving witchers who continue hunting monsters for a living. He is well known, feared and respected by many kingdoms.

 

Having had dealings with almost all kingdoms in the overworld and meeting their rulers personaly, he especificaly remembers his meeting with Shiva and her Armor guardian. 'A good and silly bunch' he comments about them when asked. He also met Raiden and his personal bodyguard Alastor. As well as having the displeasure of interrupting Midneah's punishers once.

A memory he does not remember so fondly, for he got his ass kicked. Then again it was him against multiple experienced magical beings,  it was not the easiest engagement he ever had. 

 

Mikhail continues on his path, hunting monsters, awaiting the day some higher purpose is needed of him.

 

Accepted!

"And then I threw down the whole council at him--the whole council!"

 

This brought a huge grin to my face.  =P  Welcome back to the world of the living, Mystics, and I guess it is high time I rejoin it myself beyond the usual popping-in-and-exiting-without-a-word-ing.  A post shall erupt from me post haste while I hold a rex hasta Daein-style.  *hopes that Emerald would get the reference and a thousand cookies of her favourite variety in compensation*.

 

Furthermore, I love the addition of everyone's favourite witcher.  Who knew witchers could grow so old?  Then again, never has one died of old age.

Witchers can age until like around 300 or so years (though it is never explained in-game or in the books). Plus Mikhail is a Fey version of a witcher. So he is basically unageable.

 

Oh man I know exactly what to have Maxis and Ivany do now that Shiva visited them in ivany's room.

Minus the helmet...until he needs to use it anyway.

Ryobi is an extremely hard & sturdy sword meant for defensive use & tough clashes. Ryoki is a 2000 year old sword made from a special material that is said to be cursed or otherworldly for some reason & not only is this material almost as tough as the Ryobi sword but it is said to cut through strange things (It cuts through some magic). Ryona is a sword not build for tough clashes or under continuous strain but rather to cut things through in an instant & slicing through it almost as if it ignores the density of it's target.

Vark's childhood was mainly growing up along side the other knights at Sondon soon becoming rivals with a boy named Roger. The 2 would always fight each other to see who was the strongest, much later on Vark became the personal guard for the Queen Elysia up until her unfortunate passing. Vark uses a 3 sword style stance & each of his swords has a name from the Ryo sword brand that each have a special use along with his extreme skills mainly in counter attacking to put him on top of the list of knights.

Accepted!  Regarding the curse or otherworldedness of Ryoki, it could be related somehow to the Overworld if it is over two-thousand years old, when the barrier to the two worlds had not be sealed and there had been communication within them.  If it is more recent the legend of the sword may be more heresy than factual, but you're welcome to follow whichever you'd wish.  I just wanted to point that out. : )

Cue the sword shattering the moment it hits Henry's arm.

I have writers block,and I'm stuck. I keep starting to reply only to get stuck and delete everything. Any tips?

YES! thats a great idea! we'll go with the 2000 year idea you threw, also it's given me a really great & interesting idea too, so thanks for that Mystic

Cue moment when Henry's arm just cut by Ryona blade haha

I better make sure to use Ryobi more in that fight more too haha

 

 

I have writers block,and I'm stuck. I keep starting to reply only to get stuck and delete everything. Any tips? 

 

No worries girl, I can give ya some tips on how to kill writers block without getting caught haha .

 

- Don't try writing stuff when your hungry, thirsty, angry, tired or sad or have a headache as it just clouds your head up too much.

- Don't over think your ideas, reactions, words or plans of events to much as over thinking things can just cause a stop altogether with your writing. Sometimes your mind's ideas just change later on anyway if you keep putting it off for to long.

- Some say getting the blood bumping is good too, like running about or jogging on the spot.

- Sometimes you may just need to be somewhere quiet to be in tune with yourself & your mind to write.

- Also just relaxing & letting your thoughts just flow is good too.

- I personally find listening to any music to be the best killer, when I listen to music I like & think of my characters along with it I can connect them together & that is what creates my writing. Strange I know but thats just me haha

 

& heres some ideas for a post for Aqua too if your still stuck.

 

- you could have her go along with Elia to get Rufus & scout the mountain range as Jynn ordered.

- you could have her go along with Elia but have a change of heart & instead wanting to look after Bherna alongside Baxter.

- you could have her be so moved by his sad story & she'd tell Jynn that she should be the one to look after Bherna while Baxter goes with Elia & Rufus, & maybe she could help Bherna & herself train together to better use & control their magic powers while the others scout.

- or you could have her secretly follow Jynn somehow all the way to Mystras worried for his safety because shes totally falling for him is an option too haha     

 

Cue moment when Henry's arm just cut by Ryona blade haha

I better make sure to use Ryobi more in that fight more too haha

 

 

Henry'l be like:

 

*holds Ryobi with his hand, doesn't matter if its cutting him or not*

*slowly turns his head towards him Unversed's character* 

 

 

*goes dreadnaught*

Also the reason I haven't been posting is because i've suddenly had the desire to make a lore about Alastor's family, or rather his grandfather.

I have no idea what that last gif is from, but, I love it.

Just to give everyone a rough idea, I see ourselves being about halfway or 1/3 of the way through the RP.  There's a few plot points that I haven't moved yet in my latest post for other players to catch up, as I don't want to leave anyone too far behind.  I may update my post over the course of the next couple of days to move a few plots forward anyway, but we shall see.  I probably just won't end up getting around to it.

 

Lol, there could possibly be some power clash. But the way I see it, the experiments had different effects on every subject. what with one gaining Wolverine levels of regen, one guy able to harden his skin and create rock armor as well as control fire and darkness. 

 

And everyth with her own. 

 

Definitely some interesting possibilities.

 

As for stuck characters, I don't have anything to do with Typhon other than talk with Mikhail for now . any ideas would be welcome

Sorry, I missed replying to this somehow during the move.  I'd recommend Typhon getting involved with the party leaving Isopolis, perhaps he could see them and, because their outsides from the world below, follows them to Mystras and observes, perhaps getting caught?  That, or perhaps he could get involved with Morana?

 

And no problem about not posting yet.  Hopefully we'll get to see some of Alastor's lore throughout the RP!

 

 

 

Wait, your moving again? or are you just getting things tied down still?

Anyway, I hope to continue the RP when you return as I'm just loving this whole thing to much haha it's great fun with great RPers & their characters

I actually just got things tied down last week.  We were in the process of finding a place, having it fall through, finding another place, and then the actual moving ordeal.  Things are settling down a little now, and I anticipate being online much more often again. : )  Thank you for participating; I too am really enjoying this RP and seeing the development from everyone!  Hopefully I can dedicate the proper attention to it that I should have done over the past couple of months.

 

I have writers block,and I'm stuck. I keep starting to reply only to get stuck and delete everything. Any tips? 

The Unversed had some good suggestions, though at the moment I think Elia and Aqua have been instructed to scout the area by Jynn.  Perhaps they could do that, and encounter a bit of trouble?  Elia was addressing Aqua in my last post, so perhaps Aqua could respond next?  I will hold off on posting for Elia until then.

I'l reveal some lore on Alastor, Typhon and Mikhail. Thats whats planned anyway, and two out of those three Maxis has a part in. 

 

And I am planning on an "Evolving" plot arc for Henry. 

His body has not adapted completely to the fey blood, and as such regular mutations will occurs once he (if he) steps into the overworld. Which probably has another atmosphere than earth. One feys react to better. 

 

Expect great things for him

 

 

Meanwhile, say hit for Mikhail and his horse y'all.

 

 

 

 

He had to look away...
