Story
The world of Solumfi was one of many in the endless cosmos. But this world was perhaps the most mythical amongst the infinite stars. A nearly endless amount of secrets had covered the land of the Gods. It had inhabitants of all sorts of different breeds, as the world itself was one of the largest. The prospering world was under rule of the Elven Kingdom of Álrfríki , the Corperi Kingdom, Vir'Regnu and the Ésotaller kingdom of Ésotaume.

Whilst these three were the major capitols of the world, there were still many other kingdoms that were either single-colony or interracial to help their own groups of people. Very scarcely did war rage across Solumfi, but when such a tragedy did happen, the damages were catastrophic. Though, in the most recent catastrophe, only one year before the current day in Solumfi, a Drow shaman had stumbled upon a rare artifact. This somehow opened a rip in the dimensional realms. Before his very eyes a massive amount of grotesque monstrous creatures began to pour through the portal. After a few hundred had surrounded the shaman, one single creature slowly emerged from the warp. This was Kel'Darren, the leader of the Felcytes. Kel'darren told the shaman to warn his planets leaders that war was upon them and he would give them one year to prepare. After the Felcytes gave their dark message they built colonies deep into the planets core.

On the current day in Solumfi, it is only one weeks time before the Felcytes launch their attack on Solumfi, their reason is unkown as is their objective. But all that is known is that studies have shown this bloodthirsty race has caused mass genocide on various planets. The current world is in a state of hysteria trying to prepare for the massive assault. Most of the kingdoms are feeling hopeless and likely to succumb to surrender. But the higher kingdoms are preparing for a merciless war. You are now set in this world with the freedom to do as you please. Choose wisely as it may mean certain death or victory.


Generic Races of Solumfi:
Elves: The elves are one of the most powerful races the most powerful of Solumfi. Currently the Álrfíkian Kingdom has the strongest economy and one of the most powerful militaries. The elvish race are a proud people and the majority of them are very religious. They believe the Comsos Gods have given them this land to live in and that every day is a gift from the higher beings. Elvish army troops generally consist of swords and bowmen, but there are many fighters among the elvish race. their current leader is Elliska, the Generous and beautiful Elvish queen.

Corperi: A race of very gifted arch-humans. They have the basic build of a human but have strange rigid markings across their body, normally on one random part. They have the magical ability to manipulate nearly any form of solid or liquid matter though they are only born with the ability to manipulate one sort of matter, and the matter is generally very specific. The Corperi are a race that is very skilled in the ways of war and are always fit for a good battle. Their kingdom, Vir'Rengu have the most powerful military in Solumfi. Their king is Corarchos, the "War God" as he is known.

Ésotaller: Ésotaller's are a strange outlandish magicially adept race. They are humanoids but have crystal-like rocks that erect from their bodies. They have sparkling colorful diamond like skin that is still as frail as flesh but beautiful in appearance. Ésotaller's are not very used to open warfare and always try to sort any problems out through diplomatic means. This is not to say that there aren't those that would rather speak than spill blood. Ésotaller's very own Ésotaume kingdom has an incredibly strong economic system that prospers mainly because of the amount of magical artifacts they have to barter. The Ésotalleric king is Ésoroi, the esteemed keeper of magic.

Skykin(By Aliath): Humanoid creatures who, instead of hair, have feathers on their head. They possess majestic wings, colored crimson. Their iris' are normally colored yellow, green, or red. Though they don't possess any magical powers, Skykin are physically stronger than most species, whilst conserving a compact form for flight. Don't underestimate the force of this almost extinct species. They're usually found wandering, often as merchants. They are somewhat persecuted by others, envied for their wings. Bards often praise them in their songs. Not most if known of this species, though some say that Skykin were almost entirely wiped out by a plague many centuries ago.

Felcytes: The destroyer of worlds. Legends tell that this evil race will eradicate then devour entire planets to gain more physical and magical strength, the essences of life being their power. The Felcytes pure lust for bloodshed have given them quite the reputation across the worlds and their current objective on Solumfi can only be guessed that they want the worlds massive spiritual energy. Felcytes have the appearance of a human, but the have many spikes that cover their body. They are born with markings that are twisted visages of what their personality mirrors. Only a few Felcytes have the ability to change forms but they must have seen what they are shifting to in order for it to work. Their merciless leader is Kel'Darren, the bringer of Armageddon.

Note: If you make your own race I will put it up here so other players will know what it is exactly. Credit will go to the creator

Cities:
Álrfbor: The capitol city of Álfriki. The town is in the great oakwood Álrfskó. It's majestic golden buildings are nestled within the old trees, which are connected by a complex of bridges and walkways. The way up to the forest city is via multiple elevator like rises that go up through the 5 levels of the city. The castle is on ground but veiled by a magical dome created by elven wizards that makes it seem like just another grove in the forest. Only elvish eyes can see the castle, though if someone is directed into the castle, they can see it themselves after crossing the threshold.

Visurb: The capitol city of Vir'Rengu. The base city is made of metallic dome-like buildings and is where the middle class live. Under the main part of the city are the central sewer system which is a dank lawless section of the town. The huts and tents that people live in are vulnerable to entrance or theft. The high class live in the citadel the overlooks the the town. The usual high class citizen has done much to protect and/or fight for the town.

Aeralaes(By Aliath): The fabled city of the Skykin, which now partially rests in ruins atop the massive pillar built to support the plate which is Aeralaes. Located well within the frontiers of Álfriki, it has been abandoned ever since the mass death of Skykin. The five-hundred meter tall pillar which supports the plate on which is built the city was itself built in the mountains, making Aeralaes very elevated. It can only be accessed by the flight, so the Skykin had an almost unreachable city. It is writen on old manuscripts that Aeralaes was surrounded by some sort of magical barrier which kept the city at an ambient temperature. Of course, the barrier has long since vanished and the entire city is covered in a thin coat of snow. Even though a plague seems to be the origin of the abandonment of the city (and the mass death of Skykin), most buildings lay in ruins; which obviously indicate some sort of battle took place.

Froardom Forest(By Rune_Warrior): A small forest colony where many monks, hermits, druids and many others would go to meditate or commune with nature. Farmers, herbalists and hunters frequented the area as game was plenty and the trees and bushes harbour useful herbs, ripe fruits and fresh vegetation.

Ésotté: The capitol city of Ésotaume. The mystics of this city have no class as the population isn't very high and everyone prospers from the funds of the kingdom. The usual building style is a marble-like glossy house. Most houses are medium sized but a few have many floors to them. The only way to enter the town is by passing through the arcane dome put over it. If anyone is banished from the town, the magical force will incinerate them the moment they try to enter. The castle is made of mystic crystals that reflect any magical powers or attacks.

Lleh(By Looco): A corrupted and twisted land where few newborn Felcyte's are cast out in order to be the best soldiers. Lleh is home to the most vile and wicked creatures. Not much is known of Lleh, as the soldiers trained their speak nothing of it. No one even knows how to get to Lleh either, except for a few Elders of the Felcyte.

Note: If you make your own city I will put it up here so other players will know what it is exactly. Credit will go to the creator. When I can, I will make a map that shows where the towns are in the world for easy direction.

Ketsueki
Name: Crusus Rufinter
Age: 32
Gender: Male
Race: Corperi
Appearance(include armor if applicable): Crusus has long crimson hair that extends to his middle back. His eyes are intense and wartorn, crimson as well. His skin is pale white due to the fact he has drained so much of his own blood in experiments. He has long blood stained finger nails on hands that have tiny scars all over them. On his chest he has an extravagant crimson Corperi mark that extends to his lower neck. He wears a tan tunic and brown pants. From time to time her will wear a crimson long coat. He never wears armor so he can leave his body open to cuts if he does have a chance of wound.
Weapons/magic/skills: The matter that his Corperi magic allows him to manipulate is blood, so he feels no need to carry any weapon other than a few vials of blood hidden around his person.
Personality: Crusus can be either calm or crazed. His overall personality is sadistic. He lives for killing and causing pain. Outside of battle he enjoys speaking in witty remarks and lecturing his prey. During battle he throws crazed taunts at the foe. Very rarely will he purposley encounter a person without the crave to kill them.
Are they aligned with Solumfi or the Felcytes?(Note that you don't need to be a Felcyte to be on their side): He has no alignment with anyone
Hometown: Visurb
Biography: Crusus was born into a middle class family in Visurb. While he was a child he made friends with a young boy from the lower class section of the sewers. He grew up spending half of his time in the sewers and the other half in the middle class. After a short time though, he learned why outlaws were spawned, and soon began to learn their ways. After his family was invited to a party that would be held in the majestic citadel, Crusus decided to go to get a taste of higher life, he quickly discovered he despised it. How the higher class treated him, and the lower class of the city. Crusus continued to use the sewers as the place he spent most of his time, he built up quite a reputation. While Crusus was spending time in the sewer, the Corperian military raided the lower class section. It was an assault that was provoked by a powerful artifact that was somehow stolen from the citadel. Crusus could only watch as the people he had come to respect were slain by the soldiers. With malice in his heart he returned home. His parents were disappointed, and punished him for being foolish and spending to much time with the lower class. Crusus finally snapped, he saw his parents as the same scum who slaughtered the people he came to love being with. He used his powers to slay his parents in a blind bloodthirsty rage. He quickly escaped town before his murder was discovered. Though he decided, since the higher class was decided through bloodshed, he would show them what bloodshed truly was.
Other Notes(if any): Crusus was born with a larger amount of blood than most people have, but it is still not unlimited.

Silavor
Name: Silavor Lightbringer
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Race: Corpori
Appearance(include armor if applicable): Silavor is about average height for a Corpori and skinny, although not overly so. His skin, while not tanned, isn't pale white, either. His brown hair is very scruffy, and his emerald eyes shine with an inner intelligence. His Corpori mark is black, and starts at his left shoulder. It starts off looking like little roots branching out around his heart, then extends down his left arm, where the mark quickly turns into a swirling pattern of mesmerizing but overall-meaningless runes. It ends at his wrist, where it once more branches off into tiny little roots that extend for about a centimetre or two on the back of his hand. Silavor usually wears a long-sleeved dark green tunic with black pants, but has been known to also wear a short-sleeved brown shirt when his current company won't care about seeing his mark. I'll include details about his armour in the skills section.
Weapons/magic/skills: Silavor's Manipulative Dominance is over the raw, primal earth itself. However, this ability does not hold much control over refined metals, and anything magically-imbued (like the buildings of Ésotté) is completely dead to him. So for example, he could try to mentally shove an opponent's sword away from him, but it would be much easier for Silavor to simply create a shield, or a suit of armour out of the ground beneath him to try and block the attack. His weapons and armour are usually made out of his ability, and are almost never built the same way twice.
Personality: Silavor is a very quiet person, preferring to let others talk while he listens. However, he's also very anti-social, preferring to spend most of his free time in whatever nature he can find, rather than in the confines of a modern, industrialized city. He likes learning things, however, and the upper-class schools of Visurb are really the only reason why he hasn't run away yet.
Are they aligned with Solumfi or the Felcytes?(Note that you don't need to be a Felcyte to be on their side): Solumfi, but that doesn't mean he can't change.
Hometown: Visurb
Biography: Silavor is the only child of two very well-off, upper-class Corpori. However, despite his parent's great wealth and power, he never really made a whole lot of friends. He doesn't consider himself upper-class, but merely the offspring of two creatures who can get him whatever he needs; which is never very much. Silavor longs to be in the outside world, exploring everything he can find at ground level, but despite his acrophobia he can't bring it upon himself to leave his parents (who truly do care about him, despite never understanding his seemingly backwards ways) or the massive citadel of the upper-class, which still houses so much more knowledge for him to acquire.
Other Notes(if any): Not really, he hasn't had much of a life yet, so there's not a whole lot to write.

Rene
Name: Leif Ward
Age: 29
Gender: Male
Race: Ésotaller
Appearance(include armor if applicable): Leif is slightly above the average height and has thin Silver hair that falls down to past his shoulders. He has bright blue eyes with a light silver glow in them. Crystal like rocks emerge from his lower arms in a curve and reach slightly past his elbows. He usually doesn't wear a shirt which means you can clearly see his well trimmed chest due to the continuous training he undertakes. He wears white,dirtied pants though held up by a brown leather belt and when required wears a ragged piece of cloth that was once a tunic and held a white color but had now dulled to a slight grayish color.
Weapons/magic/skills: He wears a sword at his belt that has a blade length of about 105 cms and which has a beautifully decorated hilt and hand guard. He has trained under the master who took him in around 16 years ago and has created his own sword fighting style based on his personal preferences and his master's old style. During his training and testing potential new students for him he has honed his instincts to an above average level.
Personality: He is generally a very kind and honest person who dislikes unreasonable destruction. He is also known for being very collected, serene and calm even under stressful situations and he always works hard and never tries to take the easy ways out. However, once he enter combat he becomes much more serious and won't hold back, despite this however he has only killed once and he tries to avoid killing.
Are they aligned with Solumfi or the Felcytes?: Neither, although he has stated that should the need ever arise or should he feel like helping out he would align with the Solumfi.
Hometown: Ésotté
Biography: He was raised in a poor family. Although normally the funding from the kingdom prevented this from happening but his parents rejected the funding because they believed that you could only reach something in life through hard work and effort, not just let somebody else take care of you, and it was the ideal he was raised with. Although they were poor they earned enough to take care of the three of them. However, his father eventually fell seriously ill and they could no longer afford to support all of them. So Lief, at the age of 13, decided to leave the house so his parents could live on and wouldn't have to sacrifice that which they had believed in all their life just so he could live on. As a result Lief ended up in a nearby town where he completed hard manual labour for very small low wages that could barely buy him food for a day or two. After living like this for three months he was found passed out in an alley, ready to die, by a hermit Ésotaller who lived in the nearby forest. This man took him in and he turned out to be a swordsman. He became Lief his master and trained him in swordsmanship. Eventually Lief grew to a high mastery of swordsmanship due to the same hard work that his parents had always believed in. Eventually when he was 26 his master died and Lief now lives in the small house that once belonged to his master. He survives by growing herbs and creating medicine from them. Every now and then Lief travels out of the small forest that the house resides in and sells the medicine in the nearby town and stocks up on supplies there.
Other Notes(if any): Nothing that I can think off.

Aliath
Name: Zendekel
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Race: Skykin
Appearance: Of average height, this Skykin has a slim yet muscular build. His feathers are silver, which differs from the usual crimson color of a Skykin's enchanting wings. Being an oddity amongst his own race (not to mention that Skykin aren't much of a common sight), Zendekel is garbed with a dark red cloak and hood which he uses to conceal his unusual traits. Fate gave him not only bizarre coloring of the feathers, but eyes with iris' that glow purple- an impossible eye color for a Skykin.
Weapons/magic/skills: A gladius rests sheathed at his hip, which is concealed under his cloak. He does not possess any magical powers, per se, though he was bestowed with the fabled physical and mental force of a Skykin that can easily compensate for the lack of magic. He is somewhat awkward on the ground, but he can perform aerial feats which leave others of his species dazzled.
Personality: He is shy, though friendly with people he trusts (which, might I add, aren't many). He is very wary of strangers, and acts of kindness towards him make him even more suspicious. Gaining his trust is an ardent task.
Are they aligned with Solumfi or the Felcytes?: Solumfi
Hometown: Zendekel himself doesn't know, though he believes to have been born within the Álrfíkian Kingdom.
Biography: All his life, Zendekel had to fend for himself. Being of an almost extinct species, he never knew anyone of his kind. Raised by an elven woman, who he thought to be his mother until the age of five, when she told him that she wasn't his biological mother (he had guessed that far) but refused to tell more until he was older. At the age of sixteen, she still remained adamant of keeping his origins a secret. Angered and confused, Zendekel fled home, trying to find his biological parents- or even someone else of his race. A year into his journey for answers, Zendekel was ambushed by bandits whilst travelling a forest road. They crippled his left leg with a wooden club, shouting curses at him and whatnot because of his wings. Soon afterwards, he obtained a cloak from a traveling Skykin merchant named Emrys, who he befriended for a short while. Emrys told him much about his species, commenting on Zendekel's unusual appearance.
Other Notes: Even though he has some difficulty walking (he limps), he prefers traveling the ground to avoid attracting attention. He's somewhat paranoid since the incident which deprived him of full ground mobility.

Ellibereth
Name:Ellibereth Asmodeus
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Race: Corpori
Appearance(include armor if applicable): Above average height. Thin, around 124 pounds. Short black hair, black eyes. Black polo shirt and same colored pants shirt. No particular armor other than a traveling cloak (guess the color!!). His Corpori mark is on his back, beginning at the base of his neck, running down to the waste. The mark is symmetrical along where his spinal chord is, and bears a resemblance to a sort of bird.
Weapons/magic/skills: Ellibereth's manipulative dominance are Shadows. His own shadow is a special case. It in essence, can be used as "puppet" or seperate entity from Ellibereth. In it's orginal state, it's just a carbon copy of Ellibereth, except made of shadows (which in the case of his powers, becomes a sort of jello like solid/liquid). His shadow is protus, or extremely malleable, able to change shape assuming the shape retains the original value. Most importantly, Ellibereth and his shadow can switch places from each other, allowing ease of movement. The shadows of others, or objects, can only be manipulated normally.
Personality: Ellibereth has a ridiculously wide range of emotions dependent on situation. If left on his own, he's usually pretty quiet. Overly sentimental or philosophical on occasions. Generaly quite laidback.
Are they aligned with Solumfi or the Felcytes?(Note that you don't need to be a Felcyte to be on their side): No particular alignment.
Hometown: Visurb
Biography: Ellibereth's parents were always hovering between "doing well" and financial collapse. Unfortunately when he was still quite young, the latter occurred. His parents never really came back to the house one day when he was 5, and he lived on the streets in the poorest area of the city. Essentially, it was the people that kept him fed and gave him occasional shelter that kept him alive until his teenage years. Eventually he was able to work his way up the class "mountain" with grim determination, but his memories of the past are still clearly imbedded in his mind.
Other Notes(if any): My record with histories means that it might not be followed down through the letter one the roleplay actually starts.

Xtel
Name: Alessandra Nido (I'll likely just call her Aless at times.)
Age: Appears to be in her early twenties (I'm kinda assuming every race ages about the same, but if not... If you want an exact age, I'd say likely 23)
Gender: Female (I feel weird making female characters, but I think she'll do well)
Race: Esotaller
Appearance(include armor if applicable): Aless has a strong, yet still thin, physique. She stands at near 5'2" and has skin that looks similar to diamonds, yet with a very faint green tinge to it. Her hair, which glimmers almost as brightly as her skin, is a color similar to honey and falls down near her shoulder blades; while she keeps it down quite often, she has been seen with it pulled into a braid to keep it out of the way. Her eyes are a shimmery silver-green, almost as light as her skin, yet darker and more vibrant. Lining the outer edge of her arms from her wrist up are small faint green crystals, jutting out just barely further than her crystaline skin, spaced about evenly, with around 3" between each. When she is not travelling around the countryside near Esotte, which seems to be rare, she usually wears an elegant skirt, made of a dark green material similar to silk, a simple sleeveless top, its material the same as the skirt but its color rather lighter, as well as several thin silver bangles at her wrists and feet. While travelling around the countryside, she often wears slightly heavier leggings and a short-sleeved coat, both an earthy brown, over a lighter tan sleeveless shirt. She often has a small bag over her shoulders, usually with food and supplies, and a leather belt around her waist, the sheath to her long knife attatched to it, with her while travelling.
Weapons/magic/skills: An adept sorceress, Aless has learned to use her magic in many different ways. The most useful skills she has learned to use, as she often travels the areas around Esotte, are an odd ability to strengthen the crystaline skin covering her hands and upper arms and another odd ability to sense everything around her for a distance (about 500 meters). She also has learned to use her magic for more defensive and healing arts, such as barriers. For the sake of protection and to aid with getting through less traveled terrain, which she often comes across, she carries a thin, long knife at her waist; while she is able to use it with some skill, she is most certainly not a match for a soldier weilding the same thing.
Personality: Normally quiet and resigned, Aless is usually seen with a bored look on her face, as if she isn't paying much attention to her surroundings. However, when something catches her attention, she is often focused and somewhat chatty. (Likely to change as time goes on)
Are they aligned with Solumfi or the Felcytes Solumfi
Hometown: Esotte
Biography: Aless was born to a young pair of Esotaller that had eloped from their homes in a village a distance from Esotte. They traveled to the capital city, hoping to find a good place for a happy home. After six months in Esotte, Aless was born. She had a rather normal childhood, often learning from experience rather than being told, and left her parents when she turned eighteen. She decided to stay within Esotte, even though she had a somewhat strong desire to travel the country, and made a living through odd jobs, doing anything from dancing at festivals to selling herbs and mushrooms she found while travelling. She has many friends that she has made through these odd jobs who she believes would do a favor for her if she ever needed one.
Other Notes(if any): If I forgot anything, want to edit anything, or think of anything else, I'll ask or tell you later. And (even if you don't think so) I apologize for the weak bio (I'm having a brain lapse right now sleep.gif )


Life
Name: Esleniér Tórion.
Age: 32.
Gender: Male.
Race: Half-Corperi; Half-Skykin.
Appearance: Esleniér Tórion stands at 6 foot and 6 inches and to all appears lean and tall, emitting a sense of mystery to those around him. He has shaggy, dark brown hair (with no feathers on his head due to him being Corperi also), that is flecked with black. His rough face is said to hold green eyes and a slightly tanned skin. Tórion lacks a grown beard, which is replaced by black stubs of hair that contributes to his rough outlook.

He clothes himself with a black linen, long sleeved tunic which lies under a long, grayish, leather, sleeveless waistcoat. When travelling, he dons a long sleeved duster coat and brown, leather gloves and vambraces. Leather trousers cover his legs and are tucked into tall, soft boots of a brownish colour. Tórion's outfit can be simply described as being worn, suiting such a drifter of the lands.
Weapons/Magic/Skills: Esleniér is a skilled bow-man thanks to the Elves, and wields a bow handed to him by his Elfish guardians, about 3 feet long, made from the finest of yew and strung in precision and detail. The bow itself has faint markings, engraved into the side that reads 'Maranwe tuluva rince' - which is roughly translated as: 'Destiny will flourish'. A quiver of arrows, approximately 20 inches long, can also be seen, slung over his back. Along with his weapon of choice, Esleniér carries also a short blade, slightly larger than a dagger and curved like a scimitar. This is sheathed by his side.

Although lacking the natural ability of a Corperi, he still possesses the gift of a man of Skykin descent - crimson wings that grant him the freedom of flight through the open skies. Esleniér is often underestimated for his ragged and torn looks, cloaking his true skills with a bow and blade, not to mention his skill of the hunt. However he has yet to learn and master one particular ability - horse riding.
Personality: First impressions see Esleniér Tórion as dark and brooding, with the latter being certain, although those who have the fortune to know him further put aside their assumptions of him being 'dark' in the personality sense. Esleniér has some unexpected moments of levity which are matched with his calm and soothing voice in which he sings numerous tunes with. Esleniér's parent's leave from him has given him a sort of unnerving guilt, which is further more exacerbated by him being ashamed of himself (although he does his best to not show it, even to himself). His burden is laden more with Esleniér knowing little of his parents, which tends to lead him to the wrong conclusion that his selfishness in his youth as he was studied and honed by his parents, should have been replaced with a selflessness to delve into the origins of his mother and father.
Are they aligned with Solumfi or the Felcytes? Prefers Solumfi over Felcytes, although his current status leaves him sided with neither.
Hometown: Being a mobile wanderer, he has no fixed residence, although he has been known to stray from place to place, nesting in what forests and woods nearby.
Biography: The history of Esleniér Tórion is buried in mystery and secrecy, with Tórion himself knowing little of his origins to say. The life of Tórion began in the seclusion of Álrfbor, in the outskirts of the forests there. He was born in the setting of the sun, left with his robed parents to the mercy of the cold of the night and the array of beasts that prowled through the dark. It was no sooner than this did two Elves, sneaking away to bask in the new found silence and romantic atmosphere of the outer forest. Finding Tórion and his two parents, they took them, ushering them in towards the warmth and protection of Álrfbor. From there, all three were treated so ever kindly by the two Elves, who themselves were a couple.

But months later, Tórion's father, revealed by the community of Elves to be descended from the race of the Skykin, was banished from the tree-city, leaving Tórion's mother to grieve and despair for her lost husband. It was only his presence and youth that kept her at bay and in Álrfbor, and to this day, Tórion is flooded with guilt, believing him to be the cause of what had happened next. He grew up strong, raised by the Elves and taught in their ways, becoming skilled with the bow and arrow. In some ways, he was granted fortune, with his mother, too, schooling him in the origins and ways of both the Skykin and Corperi (who she revealed herself to be of). As he reached the age of that of a young adult, his mother began to wither, growing old herself.

And at her most fragile state, did she fall. Tórion's mother believed the time to be right for him, granting him the liberty to practice and train his abilities gained from being of Corperi descent. Yet after hours of poring over books that he had gained, bewildered at how to tap into such power, he began to realize his weakness: Tórion lacked the matter-manipulating gift he ought to have had. This pushed his mother off the edge. She grew wild and abusive, even suicidal at most, for she believed that his son was a failure and deserved nothing but death. Tórion, feeling even more ashamed, was oblivious to the knowledge that his mother's grief and harsh words were formed at the banishment of his father - not because of him. Life drained out of Tórion's mother who saw no reason left to live in the world that had so betrayed her, and she took her own life, mad and aged.

Tórion was left at the hands of the seemingly immortal Elves, who, in pity, served as his parents for the remaining years of his time as a young adult. At 20, he took off on his own, left with a handful of supplies and equipment that would aid him in the first few weeks of his leave. Tórion then lived life as a wanderer, hunting his own animals and roaming the wilderness and cities. And so this is still his life, his occupation. Lacking a purpose, Esleniér Tórion lies near the shallow end of life, left to hone his skills in the waiting for a greater calling.
Other Notes: None that I can think of at the moment, however this may change.

Looco
Name: Rune Kash'ar
Age: Very old (Around 1000)
Gender: Male
Race: Felcyte
Appearance: Kash'ar is a sight to see. His skin is soaked red, due to his addiction to blood. He has spikes splitting out from most of his body that are each about 4-5 inches long. The spikes are several inches apart. Kash'ar's head is somewhat deformed. It sort of stretches out in the back, with a few layers of cartilage. He has many spikes here. His eyes are a glowing dark-green haze. His teeth are yellow and red, and all of them have been transformed into fangs. Kash'ar is a massive site, he is 6'8, and weighs around 450 LB. (He's not fat, just all the muscle.) For armor, Kash'ar wields heavy plate shoulder guards. They are a jet blue color and are very tall. On his chest he does not have much. Just a few layers of simple armor. But what sticks out is a sort of pendulum that drags down to his waist. This is his Blood Rune. (Explained in skills)
Personality: Wicked, Ruthless and sadistic.
Are they aligned with Solumfi or the Felcytes?(Note that you don't need to be a Felcyte to be on their side): For the Felcyte!!
Hometown: Lleh: A corrupted and twisted land where few newborn Felcyte's are cast out in order to be the best soldiers. Lleh is home to the most vile and wicked creatures. Not much is known of Lleh, as the soldiers trained their speak nothing of it. No one even knows how to get to Lleh either, except for a few Elders of the Felcyte.
Biography: Kash'ar comes from the Rune family. Each child from the family receives the first name 'rune'. Their last name serving as their distinguishable name. Kash'ar was trained in Lleh for hundreds of years. The experience scarred him in so many ways. It is said the only way you can survive out there is if you cling onto one special thing. For Kash'ar it was blood. He fed off of his friends and allies and was able to survive off of it. Kash'ar has been one of the leading War Masters for several years now.
Weapons/magic/skills:

Kash'ar wields the Bloodfury. It is an odd whip-like weapon that protrudes out of Kash'ar's palm and strikes the enemy, creating blood clots or simply draining blood. Its appearance is that of a red lightning bolt, simply put.

Kash'ar uses blood as his power source. His spells drain his own blood, weakening him. But of course Kash'ar feeds off the blood of others. Here are some examples of some blood abilities he has.
Blood Nova: If an enemy is injured enough, or is simply just weak, Kash'ar can crush the enemy, forcing them to explode and launch missiles of blood in a circular radius.
Blood Rune: The blood rune is like a slate. Whenever Kash'ar feeds off blood, part of the blood is soaked onto the rune. When the rune is full, it can be released to truly unleash Kash'ars potential. The slate will cleanse itself shortly after battle.
Blood Spawn: Kash'ar summons a blood spawn, a familiar that is about half his height and can distract enemies and such.
Other Notes(if any): I realize my guy is a bit powerful... To that I say: I'm the only Felcyte.

Erebus
Name: Anu Erebus
Age: 34
Gender: Male
Race: Elves
Appearance(include armor if applicable): Anu has an innately dark complexion when compared to other elves. His hair is jet black and rather short being only a couple inches long unlike the usual long fashion of most elves. His green eyes have an overbearing sense of intensity to them which makes it difficult for many people to look him in the eye for long periods of time. That along with his sharp features and the fact that he rarely seems in a pleasant mood gives him a foreboding appearance. His body is covered in a number of scars from various travels and fights in his life and a couple notable ones are a slash across his right eye and a jagged one along his jawline. He stands at 6'3" and has a relatively muscular build which isn't as smooth and fluid looking like most elves but is more reminiscent of a human's. He also has an ornate black tattoo on the right side of his neck that extends across his shoulder.
As far as clothing is concerned Anu generally wears clothes of a dark brown, green or black. He generally wears some sort of a dark cloak and his clothes tend to be on the loose side of things and are meant more for comfort without constricting his movements.
When it comes to armor Anu generally will be found wearing a mix of leather and plate armor. The plate armor is relatively jagged but at the same time has a sleek appearance to it. The plates of his armor cover his torso, upper arms, forearms, thighs and shins and are on top a covering of black leather. He wears a pair of light gauntlets and armored boots which end in a point. The forearms of his armor have a line of three bent blades which can be used as weapons or merely to catch an opponents blade. His helmet is of a sleek design similar to a samurai's and is complete with a face mask which leaves just his eyes exposed.
Weapons/magic/skills: Anu carriers an assortment of weapons which are generally black or of a dark hue. The most notable include the three swords carried on his back. Two of them are similar in style to a short katana and are single handed weapons which he uses together. The third sword is two handed and is longer and wider than the shorter swords. Anu also has been know to use Naginata like weapons and bows. Anu also has some direct magical abilities which are mainly used in the process of manipulating air which he uses in a force like manner.
Personality: Anu has a relatively dark outlook on life and directs it mainly at other people which makes him come off as brash and selfish. His stance towards people he respects however is much different and a few even report him to be a warm and caring person underneath his iron facade.
Are they aligned with Solumfi or the Felcytes?(Note that you don't need to be a Felcyte to be on their side): Solumfi (although he could care less about most of its inhabitants.)
Hometown: Not really know but it is generally accepted that he came from the outskirts of Álrfbor or some other elven village.
Biography: Anu's early life is shadowed in mystery, but it is know he came from poorer background and entered the Álrfíkian army at the age of eighteen. Anu showed great promise as a warrior, having skill with the sword, bow and even magic but his time in the military wouldn't last. Anu hated taking orders and often considered his superiors to be incompetent and unworthy of leading him. In less than a year Anu found himself kicked out of the military and on his own.
The following decade of his life are as much of a mystery as his early life, what is known is that when Anu was twenty eight he suddenly reappeared in elvish lands. He came back as he is today, brooding, dark and resentful of most living beings. He had also honed his skills as a warrior and few can match him in the elvish kingdoms. He came back bearing news of raiders attacking the Álrfíkian frontier and he offered to rid the kingdom of them for a hefty price.
It was in the following debate that the queen took an interest in Anu and while he debated with the generals advisers she cut in and gave Anu a contract to rid the frontier of the raiders out of curiosity over the man. With him she sent a detachment of elite soldiers under his command to squash the raiders. Anu took the command in stride, and leading the detachment to the frontier he brutally squashed the rebellion massacring any raiders who stood in his way. In less than a month the threat had disappeared as the remaining raider bands fearing his wrath fled the lands.
When he came back the queen promoted him as an adviser and placed him in permanent control of the soldiers he had led to squash the raiders. Since then Anu has pledge utter fealty to the queen and has remained a deadly force amongst the queen's advisers. The elite soldiers he leads are often referred to as the shadow troopers, men who like Anu have been all but erased from society and exist as more as a secretive group of guards for the queen to whom they have all pledged an oath of unwavering fealty.
Other Notes(if any): Yeah, he's pretty powerful but I'm not going to be cheap with him. He still bleeds like every other person.

Sacred:
Name: Kruschev
Age: 34
Gender: Male
Race: Corperi
Appearance(include armor if applicable): Kruschev is seven foot three and somewhat bulky but that bulk is almost pure muscles. His eyes glow a fiery red due to his connection with fire and his own destructive nature. All over his body are a set of black tattoos which have some significance to Kruschev but what that may be is for others to guess. His armor is a dark crimson, almost black in color but the red is clearly visible. The armor is smooth in form, almost organic look although from various points sharp spikes protrude giving it a deadly edge. His helmet is a full face mask except for a pair of slits in front of the eyes which glow red when Kruschev wears his helmet/
Weapons/magic/skills: Krushcev's element is fire, and he uses it mostly for destruction and self defense. In battle it is not uncommon for him to walk around as a giant inferno which makes it difficult to get close to him without at least minorly burning yourself. He uses a massive claymore in battle, the blade of which has been harder to withstand extreme temperatures that come from Kruschev's use of fire in battle.
Personality: Kruschev is a lone wolf kind of guy. He isn't particularly friendly and likes good fight, especially when the fight involves crushing a man's skull.
Are they aligned with Solumfi or the Felcytes?(Note that you don't need to be a Felcyte to be on their side): Felcyte oriented. Destruction in hand with destruction.
Hometown: Visurb
Biography: Kruschev has always had a hard life, the day he was born he was left in the sewers for anyone who cared to pick him up. A particularly soft criminal named Mordun ran across Kruschev and being that Kruschev was just a baby Mordun decided to care for him. In the long run that ended up being Mordun's only stroke of fortune in his life for as Kruschev grew it quickly became evident that he was note going to be a small person. By the age of twelve Kruschev was already past six foot and able to intimidate men far older than himself. At the age of sixteen Mordun began using Kruschev to bully his rivals and Krushchev proved quite adept at the task easily crushing most of the men that were used as bodyguards by Mordun's rivals.

Course Mordun eventually made the worst of mistakes and that was crossing Kruschev and after deciding to cut Kruschev out of the loop since Kruschev was getting a little too smart Mordun sent a group of men to rid the world of Kruschev. What he didn't expect however was the unleashing of Kruschev's inner dominance over fire when the men attacked him. In the midst of the midst of the attack Kruschev had seen the symbol of Mordun's gang imprinted on the necks of the men attacking him and it had caused him to become angry enough that his suppressed control over fire leaped forth. The men trying to kill him suddenly found themselves facing a raging fireball of a man and the tried to flee to no avail.

Kruschev then hunted down Mordun and crushed the man who had taken care of him with his bare hands before setting off on his own. Since then Kruschev randomly travels where he will, often picking fights with others and often killing for the sake of it.
Other Notes(if any): Big seven foot tall fireball of doom!


[Close]
Silavor
Name: Silavor Lightbringer
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Race: Corpori
Appearance(include armor if applicable): Silavor is about average height for a Corpori and skinny, although not overly so. His skin, while not tanned, isn't pale white, either. His brown hair is very scruffy, and his emerald eyes shine with an inner intelligence. His Corpori mark is black, and starts at his left shoulder. It starts off looking like little roots branching out around his heart, then extends down his left arm, where the mark quickly turns into a swirling pattern of mesmerizing but overall-meaningless runes. It ends at his wrist, where it once more branches off into tiny little roots that extend for about a centimetre or two on the back of his hand. Silavor usually wears a long-sleeved dark green tunic with black pants, but has been known to also wear a short-sleeved brown shirt when his current company won't care about seeing his mark. I'll include details about his armour in the skills section.
Weapons/magic/skills: Silavor's Manipulative Dominance is over the raw, primal earth itself. However, this ability does not hold much control over refined metals, and anything magically-imbued (like the buildings of Ésotté) is completely dead to him. So for example, he could try to mentally shove an opponent's sword away from him, but it would be much easier for Silavor to simply create a shield, or a suit of armour out of the ground beneath him to try and block the attack. His weapons and armour are usually made out of his ability, and are almost never built the same way twice.
Personality: Silavor is a very quiet person, preferring to let others talk while he listens. However, he's also very anti-social, preferring to spend most of his free time in whatever nature he can find, rather than in the confines of a modern, industrialized city. He likes learning things, however, and the upper-class schools of Visurb are really the only reason why he hasn't run away yet.
Are they aligned with Solumfi or the Felcytes?(Note that you don't need to be a Felcyte to be on their side): Solumfi, but that doesn't mean he can't change.
Hometown: Visurb
Biography: Silavor is the only child of two very well-off, upper-class Corpori. However, despite his parent's great wealth and power, he never really made a whole lot of friends. He doesn't consider himself upper-class, but merely the offspring of two creatures who can get him whatever he needs; which is never very much. Silavor longs to be in the outside world, exploring everything he can find at ground level, but despite his acrophobia he can't bring it upon himself to leave his parents (who truly do care about him, despite never understanding his seemingly backwards ways) or the massive citadel of the upper-class, which still houses so much more knowledge for him to acquire.
Other Notes(if any): Not really, he hasn't had much of a life yet, so there's not a whole lot to write.
Ketsueki
Very nice, I'm curious how exactly you'll use the earthen armor skill in battle. Accepted, of course.
Looco
I'll post an app later once I think up my character.
Rene
Name: Leif Ward
Age: 29
Gender: Male
Race: Ésotaller
Appearance(include armor if applicable): Leif is slightly above the average height and has thin Silver hair that falls down to past his shoulders. He has bright blue eyes with a light silver glow in them. Crystal like rocks emerge from his lower arms in a curve and reach slightly past his elbows. He usually doesn't wear a shirt which means you can clearly see his well trimmed chest due to the continuous training he undertakes. He wears white,dirtied pants though held up by a brown leather belt and when required wears a ragged piece of cloth that was once a tunic and held a white color but had now dulled to a slight grayish color.
Weapons/magic/skills: He wears a sword at his belt that has a blade length of about 105 cms and which has a beautifully decorated hilt and hand guard. He has trained under the master who took him in around 16 years ago and has created his own sword fighting style based on his personal preferences and his master's old style. During his training and testing potential new students for him he has honed his instincts to an above average level.
Personality: He is generally a very kind and honest person who dislikes unreasonable destruction. He is also known for being very collected, serene and calm even under stressful situations and he always works hard and never tries to take the easy ways out. However, once he enter combat he becomes much more serious and won't hold back, despite this however he has only killed once and he tries to avoid killing.
Are they aligned with Solumfi or the Felcytes?: Neither, although he has stated that should the need ever arise or should he feel like helping out he would align with the Solumfi.
Hometown: Ésotté
Biography: He was raised in a poor family. Although normally the funding from the kingdom prevented this from happening but his parents rejected the funding because they believed that you could only reach something in life through hard work and effort, not just let somebody else take care of you, and it was the ideal he was raised with. Although they were poor they earned enough to take care of the three of them. However, his father eventually fell seriously ill and they could no longer afford to support all of them. So Lief, at the age of 13, decided to leave the house so his parents could live on and wouldn't have to sacrifice that which they had believed in all their life just so he could live on. As a result Lief ended up in a nearby town where he completed hard manual labour for very small low wages that could barely buy him food for a day or two. After living like this for three months he was found passed out in an alley, ready to die, by a hermit Ésotaller who lived in the nearby forest. This man took him in and he turned out to be a swordsman. He became Lief his master and trained him in swordsmanship. Eventually Lief grew to a high mastery of swordsmanship due to the same hard work that his parents had always believed in. Eventually when he was 26 his master died and Lief now lives in the small house that once belonged to his master. He survives by growing herbs and creating medicine from them. Every now and then Lief travels out of the small forest that the house resides in and sells the medicine in the nearby town and stocks up on supplies there.
Other Notes(if any): Nothing that I can think off.
Aliath
Name: Zendekel
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Race: Skykin
Appearance: Of average height, this Skykin has a slim yet muscular build. His feathers are silver, which differs from the usual crimson color of a Skykin's enchanting wings. Being an oddity amongst his own race (not to mention that Skykin aren't much of a common sight), Zendekel is garbed with a dark red cloak and hood which he uses to conceal his unusual traits. Fate gave him not only bizarre coloring of the feathers, but eyes with iris' that glow purple- an impossible eye color for a Skykin.
Weapons/magic/skills: A gladius rests sheathed at his hip, which is concealed under his cloak. He does not possess any magical powers, per se, though he was bestowed with the fabled physical and mental force of a Skykin that can easily compensate for the lack of magic. He is somewhat awkward on the ground, but he can perform aerial feats which leave others of his species dazzled.
Personality: He is shy, though friendly with people he trusts (which, might I add, aren't many). He is very wary of strangers, and acts of kindness towards him make him even more suspicious. Gaining his trust is an ardent task.
Are they aligned with Solumfi or the Felcytes?: Solumfi
Hometown: Zendekel himself doesn't know, though he believes to have been born within the Álrfíkian Kingdom.
Biography: All his life, Zendekel had to fend for himself. Being of an almost extinct species, he never knew anyone of his kind. Raised by an elven woman, who he thought to be his mother until the age of five, when she told him that she wasn't his biological mother (he had guessed that far) but refused to tell more until he was older. At the age of sixteen, she still remained adamant of keeping his origins a secret. Angered and confused, Zendekel fled home, trying to find his biological parents- or even someone else of his race. A year into his journey for answers, Zendekel was ambushed by bandits whilst travelling a forest road. They crippled his left leg with a wooden club, shouting curses at him and whatnot because of his wings. Soon afterwards, he obtained a cloak from a traveling Skykin merchant named Emrys, who he befriended for a short while. Emrys told him much about his species, commenting on Zendekel's unusual appearance.
Other Notes: Even though he has some difficulty walking (he limps), he prefers traveling the ground to avoid attracting attention. He's somewhat paranoid since the incident which deprived him of full ground mobility.


Skykin: Humanoid creatures who, instead of hair, have feathers on their head. They possess majestic wings, colored crimson. Their iris' are normally colored yellow, green, or red. Though they don't possess any magical powers, Skykin are physically stronger than most species, whilst conserving a compact form for flight. Don't underestimate the force of this almost extinct species. They're usually found wandering, often as merchants. They are somewhat persecuted by others, envied for their wings. Bards often praise them in their songs. Not most if known of this species, though some say that Skykin were almost entirely wiped out by a plague many centuries ago.
MarionettesDonutsIllusions
I've been on anti-app strak for a while, but for you blood...
Anyway...with you usual blood power...I guess for the sake of tradition...
You would be suprised how little I've used the below character template for a while...

Name:Ellibereth
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Race: Corpori
Appearance(include armor if applicable): Above average height. Thin, around 124 pounds. Short black hair, black eyes. Black polo shirt and same colored pants shirt. No particular armor other than a traveling cloak (guess the color!!). His Corpori mark is on his back, beginning at the base of his neck, running down to the waste. The mark is symmetrical along where his spinal chord is, and bears a resemblance to a sort of bird.
Weapons/magic/skills: Ellibereth's manipulative dominance are Shadows. His own shadow is a special case. It in essence, can be used as "puppet" or seperate entity from Ellibereth. In it's orginal state, it's just a carbon copy of Ellibereth, except made of shadows (which in the case of his powers, becomes a sort of jello like solid/liquid). His shadow is protus, or extremely malleable, able to change shape assuming the shape retains the original value. Most importantly, Ellibereth and his shadow can switch places from each other, allowing ease of movement. The shadows of others, or objects, can only be manipulated normally.
Personality: Ellibereth has a ridiculously wide range of emotions dependent on situation. If left on his own, he's usually pretty quiet. Overly sentimental or philosophical on occasions. Generaly quite laidback.
Are they aligned with Solumfi or the Felcytes?(Note that you don't need to be a Felcyte to be on their side): No particular alignment.
Hometown: Visurb
Biography: Ellibereth's parents were always hovering between "doing well" and financial collapse. Unfortunately when he was still quite young, the latter occurred. His parents never really came back to the house one day when he was 5, and he lived on the streets in the poorest area of the city. Essentially, it was the people that kept him fed and gave him occasional shelter that kept him alive until his teenage years. Eventually he was able to work his way up the class "mountain" with grim determination, but his memories of the past are still clearly imbedded in his mind.
Other Notes(if any): My record with histories means that it might not be followed down through the letter one the roleplay actually starts.
Ketsueki
Alright, great submissions to the three who applied, all accepted. Once I finish the first IC or if Looco gets his app finished we shall begin smile.gif
Aliath
I have some ideas for settlements.

Aeralaes: The fabled city of the Skykin, which now partially rests in ruins atop the massive pillar built to support the plate which is Aeralaes. Located well within the frontiers of Álfriki, it has been abandoned ever since the mass death of Skykin. The five-hundred meter tall pillar which supports the plate on which is built the city was itself built in the mountains, making Aeralaes very elevated. It can only be accessed by the flight, so the Skykin had an almost unreachable city. It is writen on old manuscripts that Aeralaes was surrounded by some sort of magical barrier which kept the city at an ambient temperature. Of course, the barrier has long since vanished and the entire city is covered in a thin coat of snow. Even though a plague seems to be the origin of the abandonment of the city (and the mass death of Skykin), most buildings lay in ruins; which obviously indicate some sort of battle took place.


Xtel
Looks very nice. And so far filled with an all star cast of RPers. Hopefully I can work my way in without miserably failing.

Name: Alessandra Nido (I'll likely just call her Aless at times.)
Age: Appears to be in her early twenties (I'm kinda assuming every race ages about the same, but if not... If you want an exact age, I'd say likely 23)
Gender: Female (I feel weird making female characters, but I think she'll do well)
Race: Esotaller
Appearance(include armor if applicable): Aless has a strong, yet still thin, physique. She stands at near 5'2" and has skin that looks similar to diamonds, yet with a very faint green tinge to it. Her hair, which glimmers almost as brightly as her skin, is a color similar to honey and falls down near her shoulder blades; while she keeps it down quite often, she has been seen with it pulled into a braid to keep it out of the way. Her eyes are a shimmery silver-green, almost as light as her skin, yet darker and more vibrant. Lining the outer edge of her arms from her wrist up are small faint green crystals, jutting out just barely further than her crystaline skin, spaced about evenly, with around 3" between each. When she is not travelling around the countryside near Esotte, which seems to be rare, she usually wears an elegant skirt, made of a dark green material similar to silk, a simple sleeveless top, its material the same as the skirt but its color rather lighter, as well as several thin silver bangles at her wrists and feet. While travelling around the countryside, she often wears slightly heavier leggings and a short-sleeved coat, both an earthy brown, over a lighter tan sleeveless shirt. She often has a small bag over her shoulders, usually with food and supplies, and a leather belt around her waist, the sheath to her long knife attatched to it, with her while travelling.
Weapons/magic/skills: An adept sorceress, Aless has learned to use her magic in many different ways. The most useful skills she has learned to use, as she often travels the areas around Esotte, are an odd ability to strengthen the crystaline skin covering her hands and upper arms and another odd ability to sense everything around her for a distance (about 500 meters). She also has learned to use her magic for more defensive and healing arts, such as barriers. For the sake of protection and to aid with getting through less traveled terrain, which she often comes across, she carries a thin, long knife at her waist; while she is able to use it with some skill, she is most certainly not a match for a soldier weilding the same thing.
Personality: Normally quiet and resigned, Aless is usually seen with a bored look on her face, as if she isn't paying much attention to her surroundings. However, when something catches her attention, she is often focused and somewhat chatty. (Likely to change as time goes on)
Are they aligned with Solumfi or the Felcytes Solumfi
Hometown: Esotte
Biography: Aless was born to a young pair of Esotaller that had eloped from their homes in a village a distance from Esotte. They traveled to the capital city, hoping to find a good place for a happy home. After six months in Esotte, Aless was born. She had a rather normal childhood, often learning from experience rather than being told, and left her parents when she turned eighteen. She decided to stay within Esotte, even though she had a somewhat strong desire to travel the country, and made a living through odd jobs, doing anything from dancing at festivals to selling herbs and mushrooms she found while travelling. She has many friends that she has made through these odd jobs who she believes would do a favor for her if she ever needed one.
Other Notes(if any): If I forgot anything, want to edit anything, or think of anything else, I'll ask or tell you later. And (even if you don't think so) I apologize for the weak bio (I'm having a brain lapse right now sleep.gif )
Ketsueki
Alright, Xtel you're accepted and Aeralaes has been added to the city list. I'll make the first IC post tomorrow when I have a chance.
Grimm
Name: Esleniér Tórion.
Age: 32.
Gender: Male.
Race: Half-Corperi; Half-Skykin.
Appearance: Esleniér Tórion stands at 6 foot and 6 inches and to all appears lean and tall, emitting a sense of mystery to those around him. He has shaggy, dark brown hair (with no feathers on his head due to him being Corperi also), that is flecked with black. His rough face is said to hold green eyes and a slightly tanned skin. Tórion lacks a grown beard, which is replaced by black stubs of hair that contributes to his rough outlook.

He clothes himself with a black linen, long sleeved tunic which lies under a long, grayish, leather, sleeveless waistcoat. When travelling, he dons a long sleeved duster coat and brown, leather gloves and vambraces. Leather trousers cover his legs and are tucked into tall, soft boots of a brownish colour. Tórion's outfit can be simply described as being worn, suiting such a drifter of the lands.
Weapons/Magic/Skills: Esleniér is a skilled bow-man thanks to the Elves, and wields a bow handed to him by his Elfish guardians, about 3 feet long, made from the finest of yew and strung in precision and detail. The bow itself has faint markings, engraved into the side that reads 'Maranwe tuluva rince' - which is roughly translated as: 'Destiny will flourish'. A quiver of arrows, approximately 20 inches long, can also be seen, slung over his back. Along with his weapon of choice, Esleniér carries also a short blade, slightly larger than a dagger and curved like a scimitar. This is sheathed by his side.

Although lacking the natural ability of a Corperi, he still possesses the gift of a man of Skykin descent - crimson wings that grant him the freedom of flight through the open skies. Esleniér is often underestimated for his ragged and torn looks, cloaking his true skills with a bow and blade, not to mention his skill of the hunt. Despite this, there is still peace left in Esleniér, shown through his gift in healing. However he has yet to learn and master one particular ability - horse riding.
Personality: First impressions see Esleniér Tórion as dark and brooding, with the latter being certain, although those who have the fortune to know him further put aside their assumptions of him being 'dark' in the personality sense. Esleniér has some unexpected moments of levity which are matched with his calm and soothing voice in which he sings numerous tunes with. Esleniér's parent's leave from him has given him a sort of unnerving guilt, which is further more exacerbated by him being ashamed of himself (although he does his best to not show it, even to himself). His burden is laden more with Esleniér knowing little of his parents, which tends to lead him to the wrong conclusion that his selfishness in his youth as he was studied and honed by his parents, should have been replaced with a selflessness to delve into the origins of his mother and father.
Are they aligned with Solumfi or the Felcytes? Prefers Solumfi over Felcytes, although his current status leaves him sided with neither.
Hometown: Being a mobile wanderer, he has no fixed residence, although he has been known to stray from place to place, nesting in what forests and woods nearby.
Biography: The history of Esleniér Tórion is buried in mystery and secrecy, with Tórion himself knowing little of his origins to say. The life of Tórion began in the seclusion of Álrfbor, in the outskirts of the forests there. He was born in the setting of the sun, left with his robed parents to the mercy of the cold of the night and the array of beasts that prowled through the dark. It was no sooner than this did two Elves, sneaking away to bask in the new found silence and romantic atmosphere of the outer forest. Finding Tórion and his two parents, they took them, ushering them in towards the warmth and protection of Álrfbor. From there, all three were treated so ever kindly by the two Elves, who themselves were a couple.

But months later, Tórion's father, revealed by the community of Elves to be descended from the race of the Skykin, was banished from the tree-city, leaving Tórion's mother to grieve and despair for her lost husband. It was only his presence and youth that kept her at bay and in Álrfbor, and to this day, Tórion is flooded with guilt, believing him to be the cause of what had happened next. He grew up strong, raised by the Elves and taught in their ways, becoming skilled with the bow and arrow. In some ways, he was granted fortune, with his mother, too, schooling him in the origins and ways of both the Skykin and Corperi (who she revealed herself to be of). As he reached the age of that of a young adult, his mother began to wither, growing old herself.

And at her most fragile state, did she fall. Tórion's mother believed the time to be right for him, granting him the liberty to practice and train his abilities gained from being of Corperi descent. Yet after hours of poring over books that he had gained, bewildered at how to tap into such power, he began to realize his weakness: Tórion lacked the matter-manipulating gift he ought to have had. This pushed his mother off the edge. She grew wild and abusive, even suicidal at most, for she believed that his son was a failure and deserved nothing but death. Tórion, feeling even more ashamed, was oblivious to the knowledge that his mother's grief and harsh words were formed at the banishment of his father - not because of him. Life drained out of Tórion's mother who saw no reason left to live in the world that had so betrayed her, and she took her own life, mad and aged.

Tórion was left at the hands of the seemingly immortal Elves, who, in pity, served as his parents for the remaining years of his time as a young adult. At 20, he took off on his own, left with a handful of supplies and equipment that would aid him in the first few weeks of his leave. Tórion then lived life as a wanderer, hunting his own animals and roaming the wilderness and cities. And so this is still his life, his occupation. Lacking a purpose, Esleniér Tórion lies near the shallow end of life, left to hone his skills in the waiting for a greater calling.
Other Notes: None that I can think of at the moment, however this may change.

Name: Rune Kash'ar
Age: Very old (Around 1000)
Gender: Male
Race: Felcyte
Appearance: Kash'ar is a sight to see. His skin is soaked red, due to his addiction to blood. He has spikes splitting out from most of his body that are each about 4-5 inches long. The spikes are several inches apart. Kash'ar's head is somewhat deformed. It sort of stretches out in the back, with a few layers of cartilage. He has many spikes here. His eyes are a glowing dark-green haze. His teeth are yellow and red, and all of them have been transformed into fangs. Kash'ar is a massive site, he is 6'8, and weighs around 450 LB. (He's not fat, just all the muscle.) For armor, Kash'ar wields heavy plate shoulder guards. They are a jet blue color and are very tall. On his chest he does not have much. Just a few layers of simple armor. But what sticks out is a sort of pendulum that drags down to his waist. This is his Blood Rune. (Explained in skills)
Personality: Wicked, Ruthless and sadistic.
Are they aligned with Solumfi or the Felcytes?(Note that you don't need to be a Felcyte to be on their side): For the Felcyte!!
Hometown: Lleh: A corrupted and twisted land where few newborn Felcyte's are cast out in order to be the best soldiers. Lleh is home to the most vile and wicked creatures. Not much is known of Lleh, as the soldiers trained their speak nothing of it. No one even knows how to get to Lleh either, except for a few Elders of the Felcyte.
Biography: Kash'ar comes from the Rune family. Each child from the family receives the first name 'rune'. Their last name serving as their distinguishable name. Kash'ar was trained in Lleh for hundreds of years. The experience scarred him in so many ways. It is said the only way you can survive out there is if you cling onto one special thing. For Kash'ar it was blood. He fed off of his friends and allies and was able to survive off of it. Kash'ar has been one of the leading War Masters for several years now.
Weapons/magic/skills:

Kash'ar wields the Bloodfury. It is an odd whip-like weapon that protrudes out of Kash'ar's palm and strikes the enemy, creating blood clots or simply draining blood. Its appearance is that of a red lightning bolt, simply put.

Kash'ar uses blood as his power source. His spells drain his own blood, weakening him. But of course Kash'ar feeds off the blood of others. Here are some examples of some blood abilities he has.
Blood Nova: If an enemy is injured enough, or is simply just weak, Kash'ar can crush the enemy, forcing them to explode and launch missiles of blood in a circular radius.
Blood Rune: The blood rune is like a slate. Whenever Kash'ar feeds off blood, part of the blood is soaked onto the rune. When the rune is full, it can be released to truly unleash Kash'ars potential. The slate will cleanse itself shortly after battle.
Blood Spawn: Kash'ar summons a blood spawn, a familiar that is about half his height and can distract enemies and such.
Other Notes(if any): I realize my guy is a bit powerful... To that I say: I'm the only Felcyte.
Rune_Warrior
Name: Lethias Wood
Age: 32
Gender: Male
Race: Corperi
Appearance(include armor if applicable): Standing at over 6"5', he is a formidable enemy. Has short blood-red hair and striking purple eyes that crackle with magical energy. Wears a black hood and robes with a red sash on his waist. Has purple coloured chainmail under his frail robes. Bandages his feet with a thick layer of black leather.
Weapons/magic/skills: Able to bend and control wood, he always has a wooden club at his side at all times. He also keeps a small wooden dagger etched with magical symbol which, like his eyes, crackle with blood-red electrical energy used to stun or paralyse his opponent for a short period of time.

Wood Morph: Using his magical bending skills, he can bend his wooden club to become any weapon he wishes, a sword, a hammer, an axe or any weapon that he knows of although he prefers the original form.
Wood Golem: He can summon faithful wood golems to do his bidding. They stand as high as a ten-year old. They will disappear after their task is done or they are defeated.
Wood Armour: He can morph his skin into wood, making him harder to kill although he is vulnerable to fire.
Personality: Very hard to sway from his cause but can change allegiances if his employer angered him to much. Also has a hot temper.
Are they aligned with Solumfi or the Felcytes?(Note that you don't need to be a Felcyte to be on their side): Felcytes
Hometown: Froardom Forest is where Lethias was born. It was a forest where many monks, hermits, druids and many others would go to meditate or commune with nature. Farmers, herbalists and hunters frequented the area as game was plenty and the trees and bushes harbour useful herbs, ripe fruits and fresh vegetation.
Biography: After his parents was killed in a forest fire which was set of by a careless adventurer, he felt lost and hopeless. He was taken in by a passing group of mercenaries after his fine display of skill against a hungry bear. They brought him to many cities which he had never even heard of and he gained alot of wealth in his trade. The group was disbanded after most of it's members were killed in a battle against a larger and highly-skilled group of mercenaries. Again, Lethias felt lost and afterwards, in the busy tap room of an inn on the side of a road, he approached by a man who offered to pay him high prices if he were to assassinate certain people. Lethias soon began doing more jobs and was more successful than ever until his employer sent him on a setup after which he was captured by guards. The small town the setup took place was raided by a group of Felcyte-aligned Corperis after which he was freed and brought into the ranks of the Felcytes.
Other Notes(if any): That took a long time. I hope I'm not too overpowered. happy.gif

All accepted...and Looco, you took my blood power concept, for shame!! xd.gif

By the way Rune, note that the Corperi cannot create whatever matter they control from nothing. But they can however expand on a source if there is any nearby.

Anyhoo the first IC post will be an edit of this one later today. Sorry I'm taking so long everyone I just haven't had tons of time recently, and rather "conveniently".

NUH-UH. 2thumbs.gif
I picked an evil guy. He needs some sort of power... Fire? Nah, over done. Darkness? Oh yeah, real original. Blood on the other hand... biggrin.gif

IC: In the depths of Solumfi's molten core the Felcytes encampment, Arrcen'Edeith, which happens to be Felspeak for Armageddon's Eve, was preparing for a slaughter. The cores interior was that of what one would believe to be hell, flames and lava spiraling rapidly. The air was so humid with heat it rippled at all times, like waves of flame were in the air. Each squad of Felcytes was drinking and partying with their own goods. At a particular encampment they seemed to celebrate with more craze than the others. Since females were scarce with the race, and this one squad had the most, they felt better than the rest, for one reason or another.

"FELLOW CREATURES OF SIN AND CHAOS!" One shouted from atop a crate of an unkown kind of metal, "TONIGHT BROTHERS, MARKS ANOTHER NEW ERA! IN ONLY ONE WEEK OF THIS WORLDS TIME FROM NOW, WE WILL TEAR THOSE WEAK MORSELS INTO FRAGMENTS OF FLESH AND BONE!"

The crowd cheered at his small speech. Even the creatures of other camps turned to his attention. The shouting Felcyte had a rather dark complexion for the race. The markings around his flesh indicated remnants of the Uroboros, or what seemed to be spread across his chest. Other markings on his body were like blades that curved around his whole self. He had short curved spikes that erected around his forehead like a crown, and short black hair that reached his ears. He wore nothing but a long kilt and a long crudely made sword at his side. This particular Felcyte was Colonel Aeaith Lerikc

"TONIGHT, WE CELEBRATE, FOR THIS WORLD IS THE MOST POWERFUL, AND WE ALL KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS!" He shouted, flexing his large muscles. The next part of his speech was in a far more serious tone, "But as well, that marks how this will perhaps be the most difficult battle we will face. Our scouts have told us that a few characters of this population have aligned with us out of fear or lust for power, which tells me...THIS'LL BE A DAMN FUN TRIP THROUGH DEATH'S BEAUTIES!"

Again the crowed gave another cheer and began to drink a strange green alcoholic beverage. The colonel stepped down from the crate with a gleam of victory across his face. He exchanged a few words with his squad but turned his attention to a more important figure.

"So! Lieutenant Colonel Kash'ar, Having fun with festivities?" Aeaith laughed out while waving at one of the females in their encampments crowd.

----

Above the core, on Solumfi's surface, stood the tall, elegant Palace of Álrfbor. Inside, the queen held an important council with her own general from across the land. Inside the palace halls were tall silver walls with gold lining. It was as if golden trees were rooted in the walls and grew out from them. A long green carpet led from the palaces' entrance to the majestic throne where the queen herself sat. Two tall pillars of Elven gold were on each of her sides. The queen had a look of deep thought and concern on her beautiful face. Her eyes were thin and blue, her face tanned and smooth. She wore a woven tiara around her head. Her light blond hair was long and silky, it reached down to her lower backside. She dawned an extravagant white dress with gold trim, that looked similar to a wedding dress without the veil.

"So it is true, the time has come for those creatures to emerge to our world" She spoke, her voice with a steady hint of sorrow.

"I'm sorry to trouble you again with this news milady, but there are only seven moons left before they assault us" Said one of the soldiers. He was wearing only plain steel forged armor, nothing special by the looks of it, "We have had many recruits from the different cities volunteer to fight the scourge that oppress our land. Currently we have an ambassador stationed at both Visurb and Ésotté looking for more soldiers to fuel our armies."

"I cannot believe we have had to form the first multi-kingdom allegiance in so many years" Elliska said , "And what of these Felcytes? Any new information?"

"None that we know of. All we can guess is they want the potent magical energy our world has to offer" The soldier said, "Also, I've received reports that there are possibly civilians that have...aligned themselves with several Felcyte cults. They are looking for a means to summon even more than what is already here."

"I see..." Elliska looked as if she was about to shed tears. The last thing she could imagine was her Elven forest being the fuel for bloodshed, and by a race from a different planet no less, "Alright Drevinr, I will allow this war campaign of yours. Go to the other cities and kingdoms, gather as many troops as you can, we will need to spend this next week training them."

"Immediately milady, I shall send a few battalions to other kingdoms as well so we may get more fighters sooner" Drevinr said and left the queens audience with that.

"Hvarfavitni skjótfœri barn..." The queen muttered in elvish, which translates to 'go with speed child'. She then sank into her throne and returned to her dark thoughts.

OOC: I'm sorry for the lack of detail, but I needed to get that out quick. Hopefully that is enough footing for you all to start.
Looco
Kash'ar let loose a low and booming snicker. His ethereal-like eyes shifted over from the festivities towards the colonel.
"Not my kind of thing," Kash'ar said in a god-like voice, just more evil. "But it is nice. I'm mainly anxious for the battles. Then I can stop feeding off of old blood and start on fresh, living blood." Kash'ar ended with a terrifying echo.
He stood silently, eying the new non-felcyte recruits. He didn't agree with the methods. The Felcytes need no help. But Kash'ar would merely shrug it off. He didn't care if he had a few 'friendly fires'. Kash'ar took his mind off the recruits and looked his arms. Grotesque, dark red veins were popping out of his skin. His skin was also turning a more pale red.
"Time for my feed." He muttered towards the colonel, reaching for a capsule in a bag-pocket. He held it up to a lava spout, making the vial explode. The blood, however, floated in mid-air, allowing itself to boil. Kash'ar signaled the blood with a wave of his finger, magically moving it through the air. The blood flew to his mouth in a mist. As it entered, Kash'ar's eyes rolled backwards and turned a deep red color. He gasped as the blood dispersed throughout his veins.
"Better."

OoC: Here's a random IC so you all know where I am. If someone wants to meet up with me now, feel free to do so. Zendekel needs a buddeh. happy.gif

By the way, I'm changing Zendekel's weapon to a dagger.

IC:

Zendekel watched as the Corperi man scanned the forest from the clearing, a crossbow at hand. He had been hunting him for days now, for reasons the lonely Skykin couldn't understand. What he didn't know was that the Corperi intended to sell Zendekel's silvery feathers after he murdered him, hoping to make a small fortune. The Skykin's purple iris' glowed steadily, which he worried would give away his position. Don't worry... He can't see me. He couldn't possibly... He'll leave soon... Beads of sweat ran down Zendekel's forehead, his pep talk only worrying him more. A chill ran down his spine as the man's hard gaze fell upon the silver-winged boy's tree. Don't move! He cannot see me from there! The urge to jump down from his branch and beg for mercy started stirring him. But Zendekel knew that the Corperi man would kill him- as he had tried many times before in the past four moons. Unfortunately, Zendekel's fear blinded him so that he couldn't hear his own voice of reason. He jumped.

His wings were spread wide, which was completely unintentional. Instead of dropping to the ground, he started to glide in the direction of the Corperi- who was taking aim with his crossbow, a wide grin spread across his face. A sharp whistle pierced the silence of the dark forest as a bolt was fired, piercing through Zendekel's left wing just as he was nearing the man. The Skykin went hurtling to the ground, his glide interrupted. Fortunately, he fell directly on the Corperi hunter, tackling him to the ground. A sharp pain traveled from the wound on his wing all the way to his shoulder blades, but he ignored it. Adrenaline pumped through his system as Zendekel punched the man in the face repeatedly, drawing blood from his knuckles and the man's face with each blow. Finally, the hunter managed to shove him off as he jumped to his feet. Zendekel fell on his back, the wound in his wing intensifying.

The Corperi hunter jumped on Zendekel and punched him twice in the face with each hand before groping for his empty dagger sheath. He momentarily ceased his assault, incredulously looking down at the empty sheath at his hip. He then stared at Zendekel, who was clutching a dagger with his free hand. Unfortunately, the Corperi had better reflexes than the Skykin, he quickly knocked the small blade out of his prey's hand. He then gripped at Zendekel's throat, starting the strangle him. The frightened Skykin desperately tried to pry the murderous hands off of him, his efforts vain. Slowly, he felt his spirit drifting away from his body. It was almost... Too... Late...

OoC: Sooomeboody saaaave meeee!

The wind seemed to hum a soothing tune in Esleniér's ears, teasing him of the open sky and swift airs that now roamed the lands. The wind tempted him, urging him to spread his wings, soar in the high heights where few could go. And he almost did - if it were not for the faint noise of grunts in the near distance. As soft as it were it still was not above sound. His back jutted up, straightening in sync with his ears which perked at the peculiar noises. No animal was capable of simulating such sounds which led him to the eerie conclusion that he was not alone in this forest. This thought struck him bewildered, he knew few, if not none at all, who would spend their time in the forests rather than in the great cities not but a league away. Such a strange thing. But then again, the world had grown strange - arrogant and proud too.

His mind snapped back to reality, focusing on the source of the sounds, eyes darting to and fro, side to side, sharp and keen on finding his new interest. It was mere seconds till he locked onto the region wheres this noise came from, and it took barely a minute for Esleniér to pick himself up and take off to the source.

Swift feet carried him, a curious jog turning into a determined run. The world sped past him as he raced against the wind and time itself. Only the sight of a man - Corperi no doubt, eyes bloodshot and jaw clenched as he squeezed his hands around the neck of a winged person, whom he was atop of. Hunter... Esleniér was too familiar with the term that such a vicious man could entitle himself as. They were predator and prey, the Skykin and everyone else. Always hunted, wanted for their gracious wings so that the foolish and malevolent could sell them for riches in which they would delight in.

Esleniér stepped forward, his curved dagger drawn, gleaming in the suns light which peaked it's way, spying on this scene through the gaps of the canopy above. He pressed the dagger against the man's neck, raising an eyebrow as he examined his unconscious kin, sprawled on the ground. "Release him..." Esleniér commanded cooly. He only hoped that the hunter would oblige to do so easily.
Aliath
OoC: Let's assume the hunter didn't oblige.

Zendekel's eyes fluttered open only slightly as the hands which were squeezing the life out of him loosened grip. Sunlight partially blinded him, and through the intense light he could make out a humanoid figure with brilliant red wings. Skykin... I must be dead. Zendekel painfully lifted his arm up towards the other Skykin, blood trickling from his mouth and nose. His arm went limp as he slumbered back into unconsciousness.

I'm definitely applying for this roleplay. It'll take me a while to think one up though. Is there a deadline for applying before applications close in this rp?
Erebus
Name: Anu Erebus
Age: 34
Gender: Male
Race: Elves
Appearance(include armor if applicable): Anu has an innately dark complexion when compared to other elves. His hair is jet black and rather short being only a couple inches long unlike the usual long fashion of most elves. His green eyes have an overbearing sense of intensity to them which makes it difficult for many people to look him in the eye for long periods of time. That along with his sharp features and the fact that he rarely seems in a pleasant mood gives him a foreboding appearance. His body is covered in a number of scars from various travels and fights in his life and a couple notable ones are a slash across his right eye and a jagged one along his jawline. He stands at 6'3" and has a relatively muscular build which isn't as smooth and fluid looking like most elves but is more reminiscent of a human's. He also has an ornate black tattoo on the right side of his neck that extends across his shoulder.
As far as clothing is concerned Anu generally wears clothes of a dark brown, green or black. He generally wears some sort of a dark cloak and his clothes tend to be on the loose side of things and are meant more for comfort without constricting his movements.
When it comes to armor Anu generally will be found wearing a mix of leather and plate armor. The plate armor is relatively jagged but at the same time has a sleek appearance to it. The plates of his armor cover his torso, upper arms, forearms, thighs and shins and are on top a covering of black leather. He wears a pair of light gauntlets and armored boots which end in a point. The forearms of his armor have a line of three bent blades which can be used as weapons or merely to catch an opponents blade. His helmet is of a sleek design similar to a samurai's and is complete with a face mask which leaves just his eyes exposed.
Weapons/magic/skills: Anu carriers an assortment of weapons which are generally black or of a dark hue. The most notable include the three swords carried on his back. Two of them are similar in style to a short katana and are single handed weapons which he uses together. The third sword is two handed and is longer and wider than the shorter swords. Anu also has been know to use Naginata like weapons and bows. Anu also has some direct magical abilities which are mainly used in the process of manipulating air which he uses in a force like manner.
Personality: Anu has a relatively dark outlook on life and directs it mainly at other people which makes him come off as brash and selfish. His stance towards people he respects however is much different and a few even report him to be a warm and caring person underneath his iron facade.
Are they aligned with Solumfi or the Felcytes?(Note that you don't need to be a Felcyte to be on their side): Solumfi (although he could care less about most of its inhabitants.)
Hometown: Not really know but it is generally accepted that he came from the outskirts of Álrfbor or some other elven village.
Biography: Anu's early life is shadowed in mystery, but it is know he came from poorer background and entered the Álrfíkian army at the age of eighteen. Anu showed great promise as a warrior, having skill with the sword, bow and even magic but his time in the military wouldn't last. Anu hated taking orders and often considered his superiors to be incompetent and unworthy of leading him. In less than a year Anu found himself kicked out of the military and on his own.
The following decade of his life are as much of a mystery as his early life, what is known is that when Anu was twenty eight he suddenly reappeared in elvish lands. He came back as he is today, brooding, dark and resentful of most living beings. He had also honed his skills as a warrior and few can match him in the elvish kingdoms. He came back bearing news of raiders attacking the Álrfíkian frontier and he offered to rid the kingdom of them for a hefty price.
It was in the following debate that the queen took an interest in Anu and while he debated with the generals advisers she cut in and gave Anu a contract to rid the frontier of the raiders out of curiosity over the man. With him she sent a detachment of elite soldiers under his command to squash the raiders. Anu took the command in stride, and leading the detachment to the frontier he brutally squashed the rebellion massacring any raiders who stood in his way. In less than a month the threat had disappeared as the remaining raider bands fearing his wrath fled the lands.
When he came back the queen promoted him as an adviser and placed him in permanent control of the soldiers he had led to squash the raiders. Since then Anu has pledge utter fealty to the queen and has remained a deadly force amongst the queen's advisers. The elite soldiers he leads are often referred to as the shadow troopers, men who like Anu have been all but erased from society and exist as more as a secretive group of guards for the queen to whom they have all pledged an oath of unwavering fealty.
Other Notes(if any): Yeah, he's pretty powerful but I'm not going to be cheap with him. He still bleeds like every other person.

Hope I didn't miss anything.

OOC: Erebus you're accepted. And no deadline at all Click, feel free to pop in whenever you please. Also I am currently working on the map, and some new villages for the sake of story and environment.

IC:
"My, you still have that blood thirst. But that's what I always liked about you, willing to shed blood at any given opportunity!" Aeaith spoke with a wide grin. He too looked over at the newcomers, "Hey! What are you idiots doing here? Get back to the damn surface and get working on those summoning circles! We wanna try and assault this place as soon as we can!"

One of the robbed men approached Aeaith. His smooth skin was pure dark violet, his eyes as well, but that was the only detail visible under his dark hooded robe. What could be seen were his long pointed ears that were clearly visible poking through his hood, "Master, I know not the exact time the summoning will be complete. It will take two days to gather everyone and create a force powerful enough to extract you all from the earthen core."

"Yeah yeah whatever, it's not my hide that'll be skinned if you don't fill Master Kel'darren's quota" Aeaith warned the elf, "What's your name again?"

"Dartzuth" The dark elf answered.

Aeaith looked puzzled at the elfs answer, "Dartzuth? That's a damn strange name for an elf, you a Drow?"

"I am, an elf raised from ash and shadow. The surface dwellers know me as a plague amongst their kind" Dartzuth in an emotionless tone.

"Right, whatever, get going to the surface, oh...and leave one of your little tools here" Aeaith commanded.

Dartzuth nodded. He signaled a Corperi to walk over to the two officers. The dark elf ordered the rest of his men to walk to a transportation pad that for some reason, only they seemed to have been able to use. Once the band of recruits had left, Aeaith looked at the Corperi that had stayed and smirked. He then turned to Kash'ar and smiled, "Still need new blood?"

-----

Crusus was sitting on a rock in the same forest Esleniér and Zendekel had been in, only a few yards away from where their battle ensued. He was eating away at a strange looking creature he had just captured. It was a lynx, a creature with the appearance of a fox mixed with a cat. The slit its stomach open and slowly moved the blood soaked entrails from its chest, along with its bones. He then sank his teeth into its neck ripping its head off and began to chew. He hear the noise of a battle nearby and looked up to the trees.

He expanded the blood that was left from his prey and solidified it, turning it into some sort of flying disk. He chuckled as he jumped on it, knowing someone was going to be killed soon. He rose it into the air and began to glide through the forest. Swiftly he appeared only a few feet from the scene of the hunter and the two Skykin and watched as the hunter clasped one in asphyxiation.

"Ooooh, Skykin? I just love how they're so randomly spread throughout this world. Idiots couldn't keep their own foolish kingdom alive haha" Crusus looked at the hunter, "And a Corperi...well well, now I wander if he'll think ill of me if a dance with his corpse hehe!"

Crusus sped forward and jumped from his blood plate and landed on the hunter, tackling him to the ground. The disk of blood slammed into a nearby tree, turning it back into its liquid form. Crusus expanded a medium sized, blade like bloody spike from his upper wrist, just above the back of his hand. He pointed it at the hunters neck with a scowl on his face, "Any last words scum?"
Erebus
His heavy boots pounded on the hard wood of the platform as Anu marched towards the palace. Flanking him were a pair of his lieutenants, their own armor similar to his but of a slightly lesser quality and lacking some of the more jagged edges. Their appearance was in stark contrast with the local dress and the trees which were mostly of lighter tans, browns and greens. Ahead of them the crowd parted as quickly as they could to let the three pass. Looks of curiosity and confusion marked the faces of those who hadn't seen Anu or the Shadow troopers before while those who had stared on with a disdain for their lack of manners by simply barging through the crowd.

As they approached the palace, the gates were swung open for them as the guards in front scurried out of the way. Anu was quite pleased with this part as he enjoyed invoking fear in people, especially trained soldiers. Entering the Palace Anu marched along the corridors until he reached the closed door to the throne room.

Without so much as pausing Anu planted his hands on either side of the central door and shoved the heavy doors open. As the sound of his boots on the floor was heard the crowd in front of the queen grew quiet as they saw him. Those directly in his path moved away as he walked up to the base on the throne and dropped to one knee.

"You summoned me my queen." Anu said.

"Rise, you have no reason to bow before me Anu." The Queen spoke in her normal serene voice and Anu rose to his feet. "You know of the Felcytes correct?"

"Yes your highness. I am well aware of what they plan to do." Anu said.

"Then you know we must do everything to stop them, which is why I summoned you. I need you to recall the Shadow Guard and help us prepare for a war. I fear your methods may be needed more than ever in the following weeks, and your detachment will be vital to the war effort." The Queen said and Anu noted the soft hint of sorrow in her voice.

"Yes milady. I shall recall them at once." Anu said as he gestured to one of his lieutenants who quickly turned to leave the room.

"You are dismissed then. Thank you for coming so quickly." The queen said as she settled back into her throne. Spinning on his Heels Anu began to march back towards the door but stopped as an all too familiar voice sounded to his right.

"It's amazing how much trust she places in one such as you when clearly your motives are operated by outside desires." The Voice and Kal'nel one of the queen's general's spoke.

"It's amazing men such as you feel the need to threaten me." Anu said turning his gaze to the silver clad general. The general held his gaze for a moment before blinking away Anu's gaze.

"Ah, but do I threaten you? All I tell is the truth. A truth that sadly the queen does not see. The truth that you are a monster amongst us. You share more in common with these Felcytes than you do with your own people. You're an abomination that should be outcast not allowed to march into the queen's court at will." Kal'nel spoke and Anu felt a rage building in him. Kal'nel was one of his biggest enemies in court.

"No response? I know to much don't I? It's only a matter of time before the queen..." Kal'nel was cut off as a sudden pressure forced itself around his throat and he began choking.

"You know, it would be a good idea for you to pick an enemy who had less power than you. Messing with me is a sure path to your death." Anu said as he watched Kal'nel collapse to his knees as he clawed at his throat.

"Anu." The queen's voice echoed across the room. "I would prefer if you didn't kill my generals in my court." She said and Anu turned, his mental grip on Kal'nel's throat relaxing.

"My apologies." Anu said as he turned and bowed slightly to the queen before marching out of the room.
Grimm
Are the wings of a Skykin hidden inside their back (meaning that they can control whether or not to expand and reveal their wings at any moment)? Or are the wings just straight out there, ready for all to see slanty.gif ? Just curious seeings as Esleniér's background as a Skykin is meant to be a secret <<;

. . .

Always have to make things difficult...

The calm and cool face of Esleniér transitioned into that of an annoyed one. Of course he couldn't have expected the hunter to have given up his prey so easily, least of all to another of his hunted. "Save your strength and return to what home you came from..." The same silence filled the gap between all three of their breaths, with the unconscious one still slumbered on the ground. He took the moment to examine the wound from his vantage point, noticing where the blade had pierced the wing. He was growing tired of this stand-still commotion and of the stubborn man who refused to yield to Esleniér. It seemed like his mind was read, understood, as the hunter was flung to the side, with another man atop of him. Startled and curious as to who the man was and why he had entered this seemingly secret fray, Esleniér withdrew his blade, wary to see whether the newcomer had good or ill intentions. Whilst his face and figure said otherwise, Esleniér still was interested in seeing the event unfold.

Green eyes watched as the frenzied figure softly pushed a bloodied blade against the hunter's neck. Esleniér was shocked to see the blade protrude from no handle, but the man's arm itself, and the fact that he was going so far as to prepare to end the hunter's life. Instinct took over as Esleniér rushed to the side of the man, raising his weapon once more and pointing it at the wild man's head. "Lower your weapon," were the stiff words that stomped out of his mouth. They were spoken as if firm orders from a captain to his soldiers. "The punishment you seek to carry out upon him," he exclaimed, nodding towards the quivering hunter. "Is nothing that he deserves." And so this was true. Dealing out death and punishment was something no being should have the power of, nor the choice of. The act of being such a judge of such large matters can fit no-one.

Esleniér craned his neck to the side, checking the status of the hunter, who now lay, biting his lip in a cold fear of the man than of Esleniér himself. He turned his neck around, seeing the man of Skykin descent still immobile, with eyes closed and mind most likely oblivious to what events had played out in his absence of thought. "Lower your weapon."
Ketsueki
Crusus looked up to the Skykin-Corperi who had raised his weapon to his throat. He wondered, how could this being not want vengeance for the atrocity that had just took place. All Crusus could do was smirk and answer in a joyful tone, "By your command, feather boy."

Crusus shrunk the size of his blade and lowered it to the hunters cervical vertebrae. He jammed the blood spike into the hunter and quickly shred through his rib cage. Blood had sprayed out of the hunters torn chest which Crusus quickly grabbed from the air and struck Esleniér in the face with. He then rolled off the hunter and crouched on the ground only a few feet away from the now blood soaked aerial human.

"I don't know why you would defend something that just tried to kill you and your little friend, or threaten to knife your savior," Crusus said, glaring at Eseniér, "but I personally don't enjoy it, so now I'm afraid we'll have to have a...friendly little fight." The Corperi chuckled and extended his blade, readying himself for a fight.
Aliath
Well, it's not difficult for a Skykin to fold it's wings and conceal them beneath a cloak of some sort. So to answer your question; Yes, they are in plain sight.

I can't do much since I'm unconscious, I guess I'll wait until the battle is well commenced until Zendekel wakes up. Never mind, I'll fix up somethin' quick.

IC:

Zendekel could only distinguish the outlines of the two men standing in the clearing, one of them bearing wings. The sunlight blinded him, increasing his headache. Soon his eyes fluttered open, revealing that the newcomer was a Corperi man bearing a dark crimson blade, which seemed to protrude from its bearer's arm. The Skykin-looking man unsheathed his weapon, a wickedly curved dagger. They exchanged some brief comments, in which Zendekel noticed the bloodied remains of the Corperi hunter, and then the newcomer positioned himself in a combative stance. Zendekel slowly rolled over to his side and then flat on his stomach, hoping that noone would notice his eclipse. He slowly started to crawl away, grabbing the fallen hunter's dagger as he soundlessly made his way towards the edge of the clearing. Hopefully, he would make it to safety before any of the combatants noticed his state of consciousness. But even if he managed such a feat, it raised the question; How far would he get? He couldn't possibly travel quick enough on the ground, and his injury made it impossible for him to take to the skies. Taking a deep breath, he made a choice.

He would wait. Hopefully, the Skykin would triumph in battle and show him some sympathy.
Grimm
Hmm...well it's a bit late for editing my whole wings in sight and all...ack, another time then.

. . .

Esleniér remained cautious, ever wary of any sudden and unexpected moves. His hand tightened its grip on the dagger's blade, feeling the cool metal of the hilt press against his skin. He scoffed at the man's sly repartee, rolling his eyes as if evading the poorly made insult that slithered towards him. The snapping of a twig under weight caught Esleniér's attention, turning his head to see the wounded of his kin crawl away from the midst of battle at barely a snail's pace. Perhaps the gods of misfortune had turn to Esleniér, making the scenario for him so ever complicated. Snapping his head back to keep his two eyes on the mysterious one, he was startled to see the hunter, dead, with eyes agape in horror as blood began spouting into the air. He turned to the man, knowing he was entirely responsible for the unnecessary death, only to be met with the strange slime of blood that struck him harder than any liquid. The way it moved, maneuvered itself and flung towards him was uncanny and unimaginable. And then it clicked. His mouth opened faintly, lips letting loose the one word he had brought shame to...

...Corperi

He recovered from his bewilderment, eyes trailing the man who positioned himself in front of him, but a few feet away. His stance took that of a combative one, clearly expressing his wildness and frenzied state. "What madness has made you into such a thing?" Esleniér questioned, startled. His mind reminded himself of what state the event had turn into - a fight. He wiped the blood off his face with a sleeve, only to smear it across, creating a dry and dull colour of red across his cheeks, that reflected the colour of his wings, which bent forward to create a shield of sorts before him. His fingers stretched outwards and back in, exercising its grip on his dagger. More cautious than ever, he slowly turned his head around to see the blood trail left by the fallen one, yet lacking a figure in which the blood came from. He was gone.

And so Esleniér was left alone, to have battle with a man he could only see as vicious and lusting for blood and much violence. How did he become like this? The thought swirled around in his mind, raising even more questions. Only one stood out to him, only one had made its way through the clamoring and nagging of thoughts. No being did this to this man...

...it was the world.

OoC: Who's a big fan of pointless opening posts? I'm a big fan of pointless opening posts!
-----------------------------------------------
The sewer section of Visub wasn't really that bad. They had quite an odor, a rather putrid stench, but it was really only intensified in a few key locations. Sanitarily it wasn't the best place either, getting sick was by touching this or that, but one really should know how to take care of themselves and what to and not to touch. Probably the worst thing about the sewers was that "spur of the moment" flash effect, something could happen to you fast and most likely afterwards you wouldn't be concious enough to remember it.
So the list goes on, the reasons why people from the middle and, god forbid, higher class don't ever wander down to those midsts. Ellibereth Asmodeus didn't really care though. Sure, he was only a young man of 19, but respect in this underworld didn't come from wisdom, or wealth, but the ability to dominate and conquer others. The ability to win a battle without raised a hand. Ellibereth, to the mafia groups that watched over the underworld, was a very well respected and promising rookie. Not to mention the boy was quite modest when around people, and never minding to spare a few pieces of gold. To put in short, amongst the underworld of Visurb, Ellibereth was popular. This popularity also meant he was called upon by the mafia groups, or lone figures to do jobs, for money of course. And one also needed money to survive. And he did all the jobs, to the letter. To not would ruin his reputation, and that would be disaster in any underworld.
So, that should explain why Ellibereth Asmodeus was lying on a tree branch above looking down at the blood and the ensuing battle of Crusus and Eslenier, and unconcious or barely concious body of Zendekel. At least the reason why he was there was simple, how he appeared out of nothingness onto the middle level branch was anothere story for another time.
The job given to him the higher ups of the underworld was also quite clear, to collect feathers of a Skykin.

Really sorry I haven't IC'ed in here yet, and I still probably won't (have to read everything). However, I'll read it all tonight on my phone and write up an IC when I get home from school tomorrow (which could be anywhere from 3pm-9pm -_-' My schedule right now sucks). Again, I really apologize for not having anything written up yet.

OOC: Perfectly fine, I find myself in the same situation many times haha
And good illustration there Aliath

Crusus turned to the Skykin crawling away for his life and chuckled, "So, you want to know what madness made me act in such a way? He was weak, he began a fight here merely could not finish, and so I purged the world of his pathetic excuse for a 'life'."

Crusus stood from his before crouched position and walked casual over to where Zendekel's crippled body was. At the time he was thinking of the many ways he could push Esleniér to the brink of murder. He smiled and lowered his blade to Zendekel's position, "Let me ask you, Skykin, what would you do if I slew your companion? Would you not slaughter me where I stood? Hell, I wouldn't understand if you didn't kill me now before I have the opportunity to end his miserable suffering" Crusus let out a cackle at the close of his question. He looked at Esleniér daringly, his eyes urging Esleniér to plunge his dagger deep into his heart. He extended his blade a bit longer so Zendekel could not move forward any further with the tip of the blade cutting across the top of his neck. He was still unaware of the dark figure that observed the conflict he was placed in.

OoC: Who mentioned useless opening posts? huh.gif

The point of these goverment-funded trips were simple: by exposing the older youth to the neighboring kingdoms, the tactical prowess of Vir'Regnu increases exponentially. Nobody said this out-right, but in such a capitalist nation, why else would the government pay for such trips?

But Silavor really didn't care about all that. He was just glad to be out of the city, and back in the natural world. The trip was uneventful, with Silavor sitting in a corner of one of the coaches the entire time. He didn't mind not talking to people, because the scenery outside the window was much more interesting than who was sleeping with whom, or what show was the most popular currently, or... whatever it was those guys on the other bench were trying to measure and compare. No, the world of trees, and cliffs, and rivers, and mountains just outside the coach was, and always will be, much more interesting than anything that went on inside the coach.

Finally, the group made it to the first foreign settlement: Ésotté, the capital city of Ésotaume. When the whole crew finally piled out of the coaches in front of their hotel, many of the corpori youth 'ooh'ed and 'aah'ed at the magnificent marble and crystal buildings. Silavor was wide-eyed for a different reason. He twitched his left hand slightly, as Silavor desperately trying to mentally grab on to something familliar, but found that there was nothing there to grab. These 'rocks' were completely dead to him, and that was a feeling Silavor had never felt since the day he first developed his manipulative dominance. He felt like a warrior who was forced to strip himself of his sword and armour, and walk through the world naked. While the rocks beneath the buildings and roads would still respond to him, if a fight broke out it would take Silavor way too long to try and bust them through the ground to be of any use.

Nobody on the trip knew what Silavor's manipulative dominance was over, of course, because it wasn't the kind of thing you mention to others just for the sake of mentioning. After all, why show your potential opponents your trump card unless you're forced to? This thought seemed to calm Silavor's agitated brain, as the group slowly filed in to their hotel. After settling in to his room, Silavor decided to use the rest of the afternoon to explore the town. If anything, it got him away from his annoying classmates.

Gah! Still didn't get it in! bleh.gif I'm not doing anything all tomorrow morning though, so I'll continue reading tonight (phone) and tomorrow and definitely get a post in. I have one in mind (and a good idea of how to get into the story) that should work well.

Comments/Questions/Changes:

- Decided Alesssandra isn't quiet now. She drifts off at times, but she's still a chatterbox.

- Do Esotaller(s?) bleed? I was thinking about it, and (if you don't have something else in mind or if you like the idea) I was thinking that it'd be kinda like a liquid crystal that, after a minute or two, would either harden to crystal or turn into a sort of powdered gem. Dunno.

- Similar to the question above, do they sweat? I was having the same thought on it as I was the first idea said above.

- As you can see above, is Esotaller the singular and plural of Esotaller or is it Esotallers?

OOC: On your question of blood, I didn't think much on it for some reason, but for simplicities sake, lets say they sweat and bleed normally. As for The grammatical part, Ésotallers plural is indeed, Ésotallers

I've really no idea what to post until either Ellibereth makes an entrance or Life contiues.
As for Silavor and Erebus, I don't think I can add much to what they've posted, or I can't think of anything at the moment.

I'm guessing Sila's post will be more helpful for Rene to enter than for me, since I already have an idea in mind. Though Alessandra will likely meet up with him shortly.

IC: A distance away from the dome-covered city of Esotte, a small forest stood; many years ago, it had been greater, but through the expansion of the Esotaller civilization, it was mostly destroyed, leaving only small bits of it reaching over high cliffs and hills, too small for a city to be built and too far away from anything to be of much use for anything else. Of course, that was part of the reason Alessandra enjoyed it so much. The feminine figure stood near the edge the cliff, staring down into the field far below, the bright sunlight above making her skin, where it was uncovered by her clothing, shine a bright silver-green, reflecting across the forest behind her and making it shimmer like water. She sighed and smiled, enjoying the sight.

"Ugh... How can you enjoy this?" Alessandra turned around, where a young Esotaller woman, her skin covered in bright ruby-like stone, similar to the color of her hair, broke through a bush. While she was wearing clothing that made sense for such travels, it was still obvious she wasn't very experienced at it. "It's so warm up here. Not to mention the bugs. Besides, Esotte is much more beautiful than a patch of trees in the middle of nowhere."

"Stop complaining and enjoy it, Rosa. I doubt you'll ever come back here again," Alessandra said as she sat on the edge of the cliff, her feet just inches from another short outcropping, similar to the many others running down it; though the cliff was one of Aless' favorite ways of climbing the stony tower, she had decided to go through the forest to reach it, thinking Rosa would enjoy it more. As far as she could tell, it didn't make a difference.

"Fine," Rosa mumbled as she sat next to her friend on the edge; Rosa was slightly taller than Alessandra, so her feet light skimmed the outcropping as she sat there, staring out at the field. "So, why exactly do you like it out here so much?" she asked as she held her arm out in front of her, watching the sunlight reflect off of it.

"I dunno, really. I guess I just like nature better than the city." Aless laid back in the grass, staring at the thin layer of branches above her. She smiled as the sunlight reflected on the bottoms of the leaves.

"Hmph. I don't see why. In the city, there's plenty of people, you can get a meal easily, and you don't have to worry about cutting yourself on thorns or getting bit by bugs," she said, slapping a bug on her neck at the same time. She groaned again as she looked at her hand, which was covered in green innards. She wiped them on the grass and stood. "Can we go now? We came to the spot you were looking for."

Alessandra frowned at her friend and stood. "Fine. It's not like you'll stop complaining if I said no." She turned back towards the forest, Rosa following shortly behind her, as a rather large coach moved down the stony road running through the center of the field below, making its way towards Esotte.

OOC: So, yeah. About the time Alessandra gets back would be the time of Sila's post.

"Hey, Crusus, could you wait a secaaaaaaaaaaaah!!"
With an unceremonious "Thump!", Ellibereth fell off the tree and landed onto the ground in a crumpled heap. The 19 year olf quickly untangled himself from his traveling cloak and used his hands to try and wipe of as much of the grime and dirt as possible. After steadying himself he looked over at the other Corperi.
"Eh, Crusus, yout might not remember me, it was from 5, or was it 4, years back. You were talking with those underworld people, that boy helping them around to do stuff...I think we only talked for a few minutes in passing, but all that aside..."
Ellibereth was talking very fast, and with quite a large amount of hand motions too at that. Frowning for no reason in particular all of the sudden, his eyes looked down at the Skykin on the ground, and the other standing a few feet away from him. He scratched his head awkwardly a few seconds before talking.
"Would either of you mind donating parts of your wings, just a quarter of the feathers should do. It would be tons of help, not to mention it saves me quite some trouble."

Erebus
Some hours after his meeting with the queen Anu stood outside the door of a modest house on the outskirts of town. Behind him stood six other dark figures all waiting for his order. From inside the house they heard a loud murmuring of voices and Anu waited a moment just to be sure he was hearing things right.

"OF course things will be better if we help the Felcytes, from what we've heard they'll kill all of us but if we join with them they might let us live." A man's voice said and that was all Anu needed. with two fingers Anu gestured towards the door as he drew his two handed blade.

Behind him the near silent sounds of six more blades was heard and Anu waited for them to be ready before he launched a blast of air into the door. With a splintering sound the door flew inwards and Anu heard a series of gasps and exclamations from inside. As he stepped through the door into the hallway he turned his head to the left to look into the brightly lit room where a group of around twenty men and a few women sat.

"Run!" Someone shouted in the group as they saw him and the scraping sounds of chairs against the ground could be heard as the group started breaking for a door at the other side of the room.

Anu wasted no time however as he fell upon those at the back of the group, his blade sinking deep into the back of a man who screamed as he died. Withdrawing his sword Anu advanced on the next man as the man tripped and fell to the ground. As the man rolled over Anu could hear his whimpering.

"Please I never did anything..." The man's begging was silenced as Anu plunged his sword into the man's neck. As soon as he looked up from the man Anu advanced on the crowd trying to get through the door and as he approached he began swinging his blade. When no one else was alive on his side of the door Anu looked at the corpses, nine men and a couple women lay in the room, each killed by his blade and throughout the rest of the house Anu could hear the screams of the others as his men caught up to them and killed them one by one.

As Anu turned to leave the room he noticed the figure of a small boy no more than eight years old hiding under a table. A wide eyed look of fear marked the boys face and Anu paused for a second before he silently left the room and met up with his men outside.

OOC: just kind of doing whatever until Anu gets around to traveling or things start happening near him.

Purging. The word made him seem like some reaper, harvesting the world of what lives he believed to be futile or not. It made him seem like a god. Esleniér's eyes followed the Corperi, making note of the way he moved, the way he played and toyed with him, the way he spoke. The still and wounded figure of his kin came into view, and it was too obvious of the man's intentions. "He is no companion of mine," he replied, nodding his head to the Skykin that lay immobile, no doubt knowledgeable of the blade that was now poised to end his life. He stopped to ponder on what outcome this event may create, thinking further of how he could end this madness. He was sure the wildman would pursue them nevertheless if they managed to escape. 'Unless I flew...' The thought was an instant reaction, replying to himself in a sly and unbelieveably innocent tone. But he knew that option would be a last resort, and maybe not even one. His heritage was still something he needed time to adjust to and, dare he say it, be proud of.

Attending to the more pressing matter at hand, he raised his hand towards the man, palm flat as if trying to calm him down as futile as it may be. "You have no quarrel with him, leave him be for he is wounded," Esleniér exclaimed calmly, eyes darting to and from the Skykin to the wildman. How long would this disrupter of order and balance continue? How far would he go? The thoughts raced through his mind, raising questions and simulating possible turning points. If not for the abrupt interruption that came, Esleniér would have sunk in his maze of thoughts and voices.

More curious than startled, he turned to watch the youth raise from the forets floor, patting himself down with a clumsy stance. It made him wonder just how many others might be watching. The forest had grown less secluded as it once was, a sign that he should escape this open thicket as soon as possible. If only not for the Corperi who stood in a craze. And now he had been joined by another of his people, surprisingly knowing the wildman. His request served to shock Esleniér, cocking his eyebrow in a deeper curiosity. "If I may be so free to query back as to why you have need of our 'feathers' as you so bodly say?" He was far too young to be a hunter, much too calm and diplomatic too.

What mess had Esleniér stepped into?

"Your feathers, yeah, those."
Ellibereth pointed with his fingers, the Skylin's wings, and tracing them out in the sky. The boy stopped and scratched his heada again, it was something he did quite often. He also seemed to be unable to stand still, swaying on his feet back and forth, almost like a hyperactive bomb ready to explode.
"Why do I need those feathers?" Ellibereth's voice cut off as he stared off into the sky, before mumbling his next section, "It's not like I want the whole thing...just a bit of them."
The swaying on the feet started again as Ellibereth's voice trailed off once more, he finally came to a stop, a very sudden halt, and his eyes pierced into Esleniér's for a second, not the innocent childish eyes he had a few moments earlier, nor was it one of bloodlust and sadism like those of Crusus, but a smug, cunning, confident look. Then it was gone, and Ellibereth looked nothing more than an innocent child again.
"Let's just say I need them, It would help both of us, and leave it at that."

OoC: It's clobber time.

Zendekel shouted in anger, knocking the blade away from him with his bare forearm. With a quick sweep of his legs, he tripped the Corperi man to the ground. Quickly regaining posture, he leaped across the clearing -not caring for the pain it caused his left leg- and landed beside the other Skykin. He rapidly ducked to the ground and scooped up the dead hunter's dagger. Awkwardly holding out the blade in front of him, he unfolded his wings, giving him a more imposing appearance. Hopefully, his strength and agility would compensate for his lack of combat prowess. Deeply offended by the newcomer's request, Zendekel extended his arm, which was clenched in a fist, and pointed his middle finger outwards.

OoC: You got the finger.
Sacred
Name: Kruschev
Age: 34
Gender: Male
Race: Corperi
Appearance(include armor if applicable): Kruschev is seven foot three and somewhat bulky but that bulk is almost pure muscles. His eyes glow a fiery red due to his connection with fire and his own destructive nature. All over his body are a set of black tattoos which have some significance to Kruschev but what that may be is for others to guess. His armor is a dark crimson, almost black in color but the red is clearly visible. The armor is smooth in form, almost organic look although from various points sharp spikes protrude giving it a deadly edge. His helmet is a full face mask except for a pair of slits in front of the eyes which glow red when Kruschev wears his helmet/
Weapons/magic/skills: Krushcev's element is fire, and he uses it mostly for destruction and self defense. In battle it is not uncommon for him to walk around as a giant inferno which makes it difficult to get close to him without at least minorly burning yourself. He uses a massive claymore in battle, the blade of which has been harder to withstand extreme temperatures that come from Kruschev's use of fire in battle.
Personality: Kruschev is a lone wolf kind of guy. He isn't particularly friendly and likes good fight, especially when the fight involves crushing a man's skull.
Are they aligned with Solumfi or the Felcytes?(Note that you don't need to be a Felcyte to be on their side): Felcyte oriented. Destruction in hand with destruction.
Hometown: Visurb
Biography: Kruschev has always had a hard life, the day he was born he was left in the sewers for anyone who cared to pick him up. A particularly soft criminal named Mordun ran across Kruschev and being that Kruschev was just a baby Mordun decided to care for him. In the long run that ended up being Mordun's only stroke of fortune in his life for as Kruschev grew it quickly became evident that he was note going to be a small person. By the age of twelve Kruschev was already past six foot and able to intimidate men far older than himself. At the age of sixteen Mordun began using Kruschev to bully his rivals and Krushchev proved quite adept at the task easily crushing most of the men that were used as bodyguards by Mordun's rivals.

Course Mordun eventually made the worst of mistakes and that was crossing Kruschev and after deciding to cut Kruschev out of the loop since Kruschev was getting a little too smart Mordun sent a group of men to rid the world of Kruschev. What he didn't expect however was the unleashing of Kruschev's inner dominance over fire when the men attacked him. In the midst of the midst of the attack Kruschev had seen the symbol of Mordun's gang imprinted on the necks of the men attacking him and it had caused him to become angry enough that his suppressed control over fire leaped forth. The men trying to kill him suddenly found themselves facing a raging fireball of a man and the tried to flee to no avail.

Kruschev then hunted down Mordun and crushed the man who had taken care of him with his bare hands before setting off on his own. Since then Kruschev randomly travels where he will, often picking fights with others and often killing for the sake of it.
Other Notes(if any): Big seven foot tall fireball of doom!

OOC: I'm very sorry for being gone for so long everyone. I've just had a lot to do recently and haven't had enough time to cater to the rp room. Sacred you are been accepted, and yes you can leave if you want Rune. On a side note, everyone seems to really like the Corperi eh? lol.

IC:
Crusus started at the newcomer with a very confused look and an eyebrow raised.

"Uhh...I think I might remember you...but where did you..." His voice trailed off quickly as he shook himself to the moment and dressed his face with an arrogant smirk, disregarding what Esleniér said, "no, forget it, for now, our motives may be of aid to each other. That is of course if the bird people don't give you their pretty feathers at their own will."

As Crusus said that, Zendekel took the moment to knock him on the floor. Crusus yelped as he fell to the ground, shocked at the Skykin's sudden gain in power. He looked up at Zendekel, scowling at him, his eyes ablaze with furious anger. Crusus jumped up and tried to gain control of his anger. He closed his eyes for a few seconds and re-opened them, his scowl replaced with a joyful smile. He thought about the situation he had caused. Two Skykin who didn't look very battle experienced to his eye, and him, who was already thirsting for new blood, and had learned extreme combat in his years in the slums of Visurb. A friend had joined him as well. Things were looking his way. His eye was then caught by Zendekel's outstretched fist and finger.

"What...the hell is that supposed to mean?" Crusus asked even more confused at the random happenings, "whatever, now maybe I can have some fun, so long as you two are willing to have a battle to the death!"

He stretched out his arm and pulled the blood from the ground that was on Esleniér's face and brought it to his arm, turning it into another blade. He crossed his arms in the shape of an X and turned to Ellibereth and winked.

----

A man dressed in full crimson plate armor quickly approached Anu and his men at the scene of the slaughter. He raised his fist to his chest with his elbow extended up to his shoulder, saluting Anu and his men.

"Sir Anu! By urgent request of the queen herself you are to make immediate travel to Ésotté, the capitol of the Kingdom of Ésotaller. She wants you to run an immediate recruitment run as soon as you possible can! Search for a man named Vinushk, he will have more information for you when you get there."
