Aradis Chronicles: Quest for the Sacred Gems [Sign Ups, Rated PG-13]

[Billy Mays]

I've noticed that a ton of people have been treating the class names like they are groups of people. The class names are just that: names. People don't just refer to a thief as a Rouge just because I listed the Thief class in the Rogue catigory, or you aren't nessesarily literally a monk just because you are in the Monk class. Just thought i should mention that.

Now that I've rambled on about yet another thing, I can get to the matter at hand. From what I've seen Cynthia definately is acceptable. So that is exactly what I shall do; accept her. Cynthia is Accepted.

[Lost Requiem]

Alright Mays, I editted it to what you said to. We talked about the age thing and some other stuff in Vm too...

Well, besides the Sneaker. I was going for Japanese School Boy/Girl Look, so I thought sneakers would fit (I'm surprised you didn't talk to me about the Sailor Suit)

[Billy Mays]

I had a problem with the sneakers because it was the only thing that really could not have existed in the 19th century. Some of the other stuff may have odd colors, sure, but they still could have actually been possible to manufacture in that time period.

I still have some problems. First, why is the gun still there? I don't care if it's some Persona envoker thing or a laser gun. Either get rid of the gun, or get rid of his ability to use elemental magic without the gun and choose Gunslinger as your second class (magic gun or otherwise, it's still a gun).

And what is a "magic leak"? Although you explained why his wings are sealed (though I still don't see why sealing his wings would affect anything), you didn't explain why he has this "magic leak" in the first place.

Just going to say it right now: Magic does NOT work like that in this universe. In truth, no sentient race has ANY magic power by themself. All magic is obtained through Divine Gems, and how powerful you are is dependant on the quality of the gem itself, as well as how receptive your body is to the Gem's power. A "magic leak" could not possibly happen from Yuri, as Yuri is not the object that is magical; the Divine Gems are. If a Divine Gem was for some reason "leaking" magic (which it wouldn't and can't do), the problem could be solved by simply replacing the gem. Besides that, the effects of the "magic leak" getting out of control are WAY too extreme.

I don't really know what to tell you to do at this point, except that I think just simplifing Yuri's backstory would solve most, if not all of his problems (except the gun of course). Yuri is still Pending, for now.

[Billy Mays]

Excellent! You are Reserved. I'd try to get that sign up done by the end of the week.

[deltakurumiru4]

[Billy Mays]

Oh good, we needed a Fire Gaian. You are Reserved. I'd get that sign up in somewhat soon though.

Name: Halt Erzit

Age: 20

Gender: Male

Race: Gaian

Class: Elemental-Custom. Halt never liked the ‘stay back’ mentality of Wizards, so he adapted a form of fire magic to his body and his liking. His magic is based around forming varying fire magic’s to his body, and using physical combat to break down his opponents.

Skills/Weapons/Powers: In terms of weapons, Halt uses gold metal gloves. The gloves are made of gold, and are spindly made, not forming a complete grip around the hand, but are more like a gold band around each knuckle, with a red gem in each ring. A gold rod connects the bands along each finger, and emasses into a large network of gold rods along the back of each hand, with red gems at each point that the rods connect.

While the gems are located on his hands, his signeture ability is to surrond his body, wheter it be just his hands of his entire body, in fire. From this, he devolps hand-to-hand technics relaying on the fire around his fists and legs for extra damage. He often surronds himself in fire for defense. Not only that, but from hsi constant exposure to the flames, he built a resistance to fire, but its fairly minor, only being able to resist outside flames for about ten minutes beofre serious damage begins to form.

When fighting someone with long range weapons, he uses a barrier known as Infernal Barrier. He surronds himself in fire, while gripping himself onto the ground, and starts to super heat it. It takes a minute, but when he gets it into max temperature, anything in a five foot radius of him with be burned, metal melted, and bullets fired will be both melted and turned off course by the thermals generated by the high heat.

As a child, he accedetly ate a fairly large Red Gem, and even now, its stuck near his throat, having been melted into the flesh around his esophagus. While his voice is now raspy and he has a really bad smokers cough, the plus side is that he can use a form of Dragon Breath. He focuses the magic of the gem into his breath, and breathes out though his tightened mouth, and as a result, he breathes fire. Its extremely hot, capable of burning flesh away on contact. However, when he does use this ability, he finds it difficult to breath for a while, as well as coughing a lot.

As a child, Halt learned a few tricks to night navigation from his father, a trader who often sailed. While he was interested for the most part, Halt can't remember exact locations to use from a map in order to navigate. He did remember, however, how to navigate via the stars very accurately.

Description: Halt, while born a red scaled Gaian, had been torched to a very smoky black. He stands six feet tall, and weighs a slightly smallish 145 pounds, though he blames his lousy growing. His head is dragon shaped, with scales looking like a frill extending out from his head. The frills start from behind the silts that are his ears and emcompase his entire head. They jet out from behind his head to about six inches, making it hard for him to hide his head. His eyes have a silted pupil similar to lizards, and the iris around them is blueish-green. His head is half burned, leaving half of it crimson red while the other half is smokey black. His face is compacted similar to a human's, but his mouth is slgihtly wider, about ten centimeters, to account for his large set of canines that are his teeth. The scales that form his face area are much smaller and more flexible than the rest of his body, meaning that they can form facial expressions easier. His nose is two slits in the middle of his face, slightly longer than the average human nose, and can flare open to increase the range he can smell, though not near super human levels, just slightly more acute. His body scales are slightly small, and jet out along his spine and at the ends of his elbows. The scales that jet out kept the crimson coloring, though the very tips are blackened. His feet are talon; though still have five toes, except the right foot which is missing the large toe. Halt’s hands are the worst burnt of his entire body, being not only blackened, but have gone to a temperature where they have become glossy like glass. The gloves that he wears are more like a network of gold rods and rings around each hand, leaving his palm with the larger parts of the rods. The gold rods are strong enough to stop a sword blade, but they only cover his hand, so Halt has to be fast enough to stop a sword with his hand.

Halt’s day to day clothing consists of a long flowing cloak that completely covers his body. It’s a dull grey from being in the sun and worn away by the wind, and the hood is deep enough to completely cover Halt’s head, which he does often. Underneath he wears a fire-resistant black gi with a red stripe along the inside. The gi pants have the same stripe, as well as being flame resistant.

Personality: Halt is a very big loner, not wanting to talk to others. He has a bad phobia of people touching him, such as hugs or similar modest expressions, and will lash out with his magic if someone tries to. He isn’t a nice person either, being rude and often lashing out at others when they either insult him or someone else. He can be honorable, but he tends to stay out of a fight if he can help it. An ongoing fight he will refuse to join, but if he starts a fight, he’ll burn the enemy to a crisp if he can help it.

He can’t trust others, a large problem situated in his past, and from that day forth, he never looked at people the same. He sees others are hateful creatures, only out for their gain or someone else’s gain. He hates no room for love, just hate. He has a particular irrational hatred for happy young children, as they have never felt suffering, and at that point in their life, he feels that they should.

Halt also has a fairly large dislike to half breeds, or useless mongrels as he likes to call them. It's not that he finds them repulsive, it's just that he can't see any point to why they should exist. They can't use magic as well as Gaians, and they aren't as flexible as humans, so why? He's smart about it though, and won't call a group of half breeds useless mongrels. One alone though, and Halt might attack it, just to prove to the mongrel that it is useless.

History: Halt Erzit was born to two Fire Gaian in the coastal desert town of Jalabad, and being born to two fire Gaian meant that he was more…reptile than human. His scales and manor of walking made him look more like a dragon than his parents, as his father was a red scaled lizard, and his mother a red scaled snake. He enjoyed life well enough, though it was tough to survive in the desert area. He and his parents had to squeeze what life and water they could from the parched land, often fishing or, in his father’s case, trading overseas as a sailor. It was tough, but Halt learned to appreciate what they had. However, this joy could not last forever. On his fifth birthday, his father splurged a little money that he had been saving, and bought little Halt a medium sized Fire Gem. Halt loved the gift, and often played with it when he could. However, two weeks later, he was tossing the gem up and down in the air, lighting it on fire as he did, when it slipped past his finger, and down his throat. Halt started choking, unable to breath past the flaming gem. His parents tried to get him to spit it up, but suddenly, he breathed the fire of the gem out from his mouth, torching the room. His parents, to his despair, ran from the building, leaving him to burn. Halt, from then on, hated everyone. As the gem burned, it began to melt, fusing itself into the flesh around his throat.

When Halt awoke, he was in the doctor’s office in Galahad. He had burnt his house down, and as a result of being in the flames and smoke, his lungs were heavily damaged as well as his scales being burnt to the point of being black as charcoal, a smoky esk color. He left the hospital homeless and familyless, as his parents had run off during the blaze and booked a vessel to the mainland. Alone, Halt roamed the streets of the trading city, using his minor magical abilities to get a few coins for food every day. He loved the solitude more and more every day, but eventually it had to be broken. One day, at the age of eight, Halt was found by a traveling martial artist by the name of Drake. The human was curious of Halt’s history, as well as his tenacity. Halt agreed to be his student, but only because the man promised to give Halt golden gloves with Fire Gems inlaid into the gloves.

For the next eight years, Halt was trained by the man in the art of the martial Xaolin style, learning the different animal stances such as Tiger and his favorite, Leopard. They both worked hard as well, earning enough money to buy a fairly large house for use as a dojo. However, one day, Drake’s old students came to the dojo, angry that the man took a Gaian as a student. They started to gang up on him, beating the man down. Halt, enraged, remembered about the gem melted into his throat. He took a deep breath, and focusing the magic of the gem into that breath, Halt used his Dragon Breath magic, and roasted the angry students alive. However, his master and friend, Drake, was burned along with them. Halt, again alone, became a mercenary, earing himself the name Dragon Tongue. He became well known in his home continent of Kamax, which is no wonder that while on a trip to Aradine for more supplies, he was contacted to join an expedition. He joined, but was wary of both the others joining, and the possible dangers that awaited him.

[Billy Mays]

Alright, good sign up. Just two things I'd like to mention though.

Based on Halt's powers, he's actually an Elementalist/Monk. Using magic in any form for hand-to-hand combat is basically what a Monk does. I'll just put him as an Elementalist/Monk.

A Fire Gaian wouldn't nessesarily need to get a Red Gem lodged in their throat to breathe fire, but that would probably make the fire breath stronger since the gem would be closer to where the actaul fire is coming from.

Overall though, Halt is good, and thus is Accepted.

[kacqn]

This seems like a really interesting RPG, hope I'm not to late to sign-up!

Name: Kristoph Coslends
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Race: Half-Velox
Class: Ranger
Skills/Weapons/Powers:
Kristoph is a skilled ranger and climber. In battle, he usually climbs in trees and attacks foes and jump to another tree and repeat, as he prefers to distance himself and the foe and tries to use his speed as an advantage (as he is a bit faster than most people). When he is using his sword, he charges straight at the enemy. When he is left without his weapons, he resorts to his fists and kicks (which he really isn’t skilled at).

Kristoph’s main weapon in his crossbow, which can fire three shots at once. He could also choose to fire on shot after another. The crossbow has a steel prod, while the rest of the crossbow is wooden. Around the middle is a slot where he puts his gem in. His short sword has a slot in the handle for his gem. He prefers his crossbow and usually wields it with two hands. He could also dual wield with the crossbow in his left hands and the shorts sword in his right.

Kristoph carries an orange gem, he usually doesn’t use it unless it’s required (like versing a foe who also uses a gem or when he needs a power boost). He uses it for either of his weapons. When dual wielding, he constantly switches the gem between weapons.

Description: Kristoph has an average build for a 21 year old. He is six feet in height which he considers pretty tall for a Half-Velox. He has pointed ears like any other Half-Velox, but he covers them his with kind of long, straight-ish black hair. He wears a black cloak on top of his clothes. Under that he wears a gray jacket over his white shirt, he also wears gray pants. He wears leather shoes. When traveling, he always has a sword harness which he usually tries around his waist.

Personality: To most people, Kristoph is a bit shy goody two shoes, but behind the nice exterior, lies a bit cruel interior. His shyness is something that he didn't grow out of, it makes it somewhat difficult to talk to some people who seems imposing to him. When meeting new people, he usually doesn't reveal that much personal info until they proven themselves trustful. When battling he abandons his shyness and reveals his cruel personally. In battle, he rather have the opponent bloody and beaten them letting the leave unharmed. Despite that, Kristoph has a sense of self control, as he tends to stop most of his battles before he or his opponent gets seriously injured. He also seems to take grudges a bit more seriously than others.

History: Kristoph was born into a ‘half-human’ family. His mother was human, while his father was a Velox, most of his relatives were also half-human or human. He was born in the outskirts of Shirazon. As a child, he was kind of popular with some of the locals. But feared by some of the children because of his personality, as a result, he didn’t play with kids his age, but rather stay with adults or close family. Sometimes, he would climb trees in his spare time.

At around the age of fourteen, a close friend of the family named Lance came to visit Kristoph’s family after a long journey. Kristoph was very interested with the weapon Lance carried on his back. Curious, he stole the cross bow from the man and tried to fire a few shots with it.

Things were going his way until one of his classmates from school saw him with it and ran to tell Kristoph’s parents. Like always, his parents did not believe his classmate, but Lance did and saw Kristoph using it. Instead of scolding him, he offered to train Kristoph with crossbows. Kristoph accepted and trained with Lance on weekends for several years. He also trained a bit with short swords. Eventually, Kristoph made his own crossbow which he still uses today. He got his short sword from Lance as a gift.

When he was older, Kristoph decided to become a mercenary and traveled to Aradine. Unfortunately, some people there didn’t like half-humans. He let his hair grow a bit to cover his ears, as they were probably an indicator that he wasn’t a pure human.

Despite his efforts, he wasn’t that successful of finding jobs, due to his shyness. Just as he was about to leave after not being successful at finding any job, he overheard two guards talking about Parliament hiring mercenaries to find some object. He smiled as he had found a job and decided to go volunteer.

[Billy Mays]
