Many people gather at a banquet. Lords, ladies, nobles, peasants. All to
commemorate the birthday of thier king. A noble ruler of the land who has no bloodlines that should follow him. No advisors, he ruled on his own, and the kingdom thrived. Over the entire land, east, west, and south. All the players gather at the banquet. Not knowing that disaster shall strike. Now, each region has thier own species they shall use. East and west compose of humans. The south is furs. The north is the enlightened race. Hidden far away in the mountains. They are unplayable, but events shall get you on thier side.
--------------------------
Now I shall break everything you need down.

For the western & eastern sides.
Nobility: Peasant, diplomat, noble, and leader.

Peasants have the most classes available. But don't get much recognition unless they have connections or have done exceptional work. So thier role can vary greatly. They can be blacksmiths, merchants, explorers, and lower warriors. Those will inevitably climb the ladder, and may become higher warriors pending on the paths you choose.

I want 2-4 per side

Diplomats deal with any foreign affairs. Known well for thier sharp tongues and ability to gather information quickly. They work very well in convincing those around them, the perfect political speaker. Most only speak to others, but can easily be used as spies if needed.

I want 1 per side

Nobles hold a fair amount of property. Are also trained well for many situations. They mostly reign over the peasants and can give orders. They are the only ones who have the ability to higher any mercenaries to do thier job. But they have no power to fight. So are useless on the battle field.

I want 1-2 per side

Leaders hold the most political power. Though they don't control anything
directly, they have a great amount of influence upon the leader of the lands. As well as commanding the battlefield.

I want 1 per side
--------------------------------
Southern side.

The fur race. All of them are just mercs for higher. At no point were they ever really with the main kingdom, but trusted the king. Now that the land is in turmoil they broke off and made thier own nation. They aren't accepted well either since they broke off ties with the east and west. So they can't talk with or visit the shops of thiers unless they are travelling with a human companion.

You have swordsman, wizard, and thief available for the fur race. Techs are special with them. But they are limited. Each excell in.. Well take a guess. But all they are are for higher. They can challenge those who higher them, but will probably be kicked out, or killed.
--------------------------------
Northern race

A race hidden in the northern mounatians. Not much is known about it. But it is said they chronicle all that happens in the land, and watches over it.
(Yash is the only character allowed in this portion. Since I modified his character so he could be part of this RP.)
--------------------------------
Now, abilities.

I'm borrowing Suikoden's rune system for this. Not sure what that is, let me explain.

Each person has a rune. It's given an element. (Pulls out suikoden instruction booklet) Fire, wind, water, earth, Lightning. Each having four spells, weak to strong.

Fire-Flaming arrows, Dancing flames, Blazing wall, Explosion.
Lightning- Beserk blow, Thunder runner, Soaring bolt, Furious blow.
Water- Kindness drops, Beath of ice, Kindness rain, Silent lake.
Wind rune- Wind of sleep, Healing wind, The shredding, Funeral wind.
Earth- Clay Gaurdian, Vengeful child, Guardian Earth, Earthquake.

A few you can imagine what they do, but if you need explanations I will make that later.

Now how they are used. Each character only can have one rune equipped. That includes physical ability runes, as well as magic runes. I listed the magic rune, but the physical ones I'd prefer not to make. Since there would be too many for each class and my head would spin.

Now then, for magic you get a certain number of spells. lvl 1 spells can be used a total of 7 times, lvl 2 spells a total of 5 times, lvl 3 spells a total of 3 times, and lvl 4 a total of one.

MP replenishes at my choosing.

As for physical runes, Unlimited use, but only one move attached to it.
-------------------------------
WHAT I NEED FROM You

You character should have
NAME:
AGE:
SOCIAL STATUS (nobility):
(Age and SS should correspond with oneanother)
HISTORY:
BEGINING RUNE (Only if of eastern and western, and are noble or leader.):
ALIGNMENT:
RACE(If applies): Now, the fur race has advantages and disadvantages pending on

what animal you choose.

BACKSTORY: Your characters history. I encourage for you all to have characters

to have histories that correspond with eachother.

Everything is first come first serve. From class, to race. There are limits to a few, but if enough people start signing up, I shall increase the amount for a few of them.
-------------------------------
Methinks I don't have enough. But it is more than enough for now. Once the RP gets along, I think you'll all see how this works. I look forward to doing this. And sorry if this seems a little on the long side.

Location: Florida
Name: Silvia Bluefur
Age: 19 (in human years)
Gender: Female
Race: Arctic Fox (I love 'em too much.)

History: Everyone who was there when Silvia was born could immediately tell that she was special. A small patch of fur on her forehead is colored differently and takes the shape of a fire rune. Naturally, she was sent to a magic school to learn more about runes and magic. She eventually graduated at the top of her class and received a fire rune of her own. With her parents she attends the King's banquet and happily eats her fill.

Appearance: The young blue-furred fox stands at 4'8" and weighs roughly 87 pounds. She wears a long;tattered gray robe that has been in her family for generations. Under it she wears a long cloth that is wrapped all around her chest. What she lacks in muscle she makes up for in magical power.

Uuuhhh... HEh... Alignment is kinda messed up here.

What I meant by alignment was which nation you swore by. The easter or western nation. The only place it doesn't apply is the fur race. All of them are arms for hire really.

Location: In my mind, I'm just a figment of my own imagination.
NAME: Blaze MoonShadow
AGE: 19
HISTORY: Three years ago, he woke up alone in the streets of <insert human city name here>, with no memories, and soon took to simply wandering. After wandering for a time he grew hungry, but had no money, nor means of obtainig any, and soon began to steal whatever he needed. One day, he was wandering the woods, when he met a girl, like him, a white wolf. She told him her name was Jade, and asked his name, but he didn't know it or else just didn't have one. She asked him if he liked anything in particular and he told her that he liked fire and so she said he could be called Blaze then, he liked the name, and accepted it. She was the nicest person he had ever met, and he soon fell deeply in love with her. She introduced him to her sister Lightfoot, and their friend Stormrider, and the 4 of them traveled together for a time, becoming the best of friends. For a time, things were good, everything was going great, until Jade got into some trouble, and had to lay low for a while, but still secretly met with Blaze on occasions, arranged by Light and Storm. But after not long of that, Blaze also got into some trouble and had to lay low as well, when he got back, he met with Storm, who unfortunatly hadn't seen Light or Jade in quite some time... So Blaze waited until the time Jade was to return, but after the elapsed time, she still didn't seem to be about. He waited and waited and waited for her, but she never came, he was worried something may have happened to her, but there was nothing he could do. After a while he went on with his life, doing what he could fr money, and taking what he could when he had none. He still met with storm every once in a while to see if any there had been any word on Jade's whereabouts or wht had happened, but it was always the same, he still hadn't heard from Jade or Lightfoot... So he wandered across the globe, taking what he needed where he could get it, and developing a bad reputation for it, as the "Moon Shadow", as he most often stole things at night. He began to feel empty as he had few friends and no family. He had no past. In an attempt to prove to himself he was someone, and had a true identity, he adopted his title as his last name, and felt complete for a time. But eventually he felt empty inside again, and tried to make something of himself, something good. He went to turn himself in at the King's castle and was strangely invited to a banquet instead. Apparently someone was looking for strong mercenaries to hire... (I know it's long and there's probly lots of run on sentances and it could be seperated in paragraphs, and it could be written better, and the useless sentiment could probably be left out, and it might need editing... *sigh* but I think it'll do for now.)
ALIGNMENT: None/Chaotic Good
RACE(If applies): White Wolf
GENDER: Male

(If I can't be a fur, then I'd have to be a human werewolf or something, or else I won't play. But I am already tweaking my character, and I can't tweak him fully into a human, I hope everyone understands, but this character holds sentimental value to me, in memory of someone I love, and hope to someday see again... I posted my story on the story board a long time ago for those who have no idea what I'm talking about...)

P.S.
Chrono... you need better names... for places and races, "The Fur Race" really doesn't cut it, name the race, and why call these countries or whatever "Eastern Side", "Western Side", "Southern Side", and "Northern Side"? they should have real names in my humble opinion, but I guess it isn't my choice to make... also... I think you need at least one more fur race person, as only 3 from a whole country is too few in my humble opinion, and with so many furry people on these forums you'd probly get more players.

All right Blaze. Do that if you wish. But I've put alot of thought into this, and you give suggestions that sound like you tell me how to do things. Ask MarioRPG I don't take kindly to that. At all. Secondly you told me these things as if I hadn't thought of them. This. Is. Massive. I'm more worried about how it's going to be run than what to call something that the players will decide.

Oh and another thing. Thank you for writing it off as "another war RP" when... There will be plenty of character development and more of that than battles. I probably fell a few rungs on your ladder for how I said things, but what you did was not respect the DM and just say "I'm not playing unless I get my way."

Also its a little hostile because... Just not doing well as of late. I have enough problems as it is. Hang this over my head for as long as you wish. But I personally think you didn't need to do that. And I'm sorry you wish not to join simply because you can't be part of the 'fur' race. Which really wasn't going to be in this origionally.

If no one else joins because of my behavior, I wouldn't be surprised personally. I responded like a jackass. So they expect me to act like one while DMing. So. Be. It.

Frankly, I just want to have fun with this. I suggest everyone else do the same. Why don't you keep an eye on it for some time. You'll see something fairly deep in this other than 'another war rp'.

Oh, and thank you. You show patience for a person who pretty much insulted you in an entire post. >.> I don't know what I was thinking. Just really... Well have fun with Morrowind.

-.- Good god was I being an idiot. I'm not going to ask for an apology because I don't deserve one. That was far too hostile than it should have been. But you did come off as how it should be so you can fit in it. Still wasn't enough to tear your head off like that though. Just... Immature which... *Sigh* To be honest I'm becoming fairly bitter and lonly. Will probably be that way for some time. But these are my problems. And still give me no reason to say those things the way I said them.

well, I'm sorry anyway, I'll probly be playing Morrowind alot lately, but I'm sure I can chck often enough to post plenty, at least everyday around dinner when the TV gets taken for a few hours as the family watches. I should have noted the whole thing was just my opinion more often and it did sound a little demanding at first. *sigh* I can use a different character, I just prefer to use my favorite, but some of my characters don't work in this case. So far I can think of...

Blaze MoonShadow - The humble merchant/theif(already denied)
Ashen Twilight - The rude sword for hire(can be human)
"Wolf Angel" - The benevolent priest(can't work, no holy or supportive magic, he's more of a not so much priest, but supportive team member, and using holy magic can harm creatures of darkness, which there are also none of. and he's usually more of a furry person)
Aion Oaks - The caring forestal(also not possible as there is no naturelike magic either, but he could be human otherwise)
Kiri - ?(not very developed, also I usually don't play female characters as my main char)

there're others, but I can't think of any that aren't too underdeveloped, anyway, you can tell me which... aw nevermind, I'll just go with Ashen, he seems to be the only one left working, but I'll post the sign up later, morrowind calls me now, as the TV is available.

Alright, this isn't being done over IM, at all. So all you need is access to this forum. So you're free to sign up. This is going to be done over privy messages and main forum. 'Cept Yash, >.> <.< if he has AIM or something, that would probably be best to use with him.

As for AL, I'm sorry to hear that you're leaving us. Please tell me when you get back. Hmmies... If not enough people join, this'll be kinda rough, I need a fair amount to make this work.
