Dante from DMC 3. Being a near-invincible half demon with awesome swords skills? I can live with that.

No! Alpha?

Well, I have thought of maybe allowing some humans to use magic, but in order to fit with my story, they'd only be able to use it in certain places where the mana is still high. Also, anything they could do wouldn't be very complex which I don't think would be very fun to RP. Well, I've originally intended it to be based on magic, but seeing people's comments and the number of people who want to be elves just for magic is making me change my mind a little. I very well may decide to change healing magic to being god-based and allow other races to become Healers and Paladins. It looks good except for the shapeshifting part... In this RP, that's not really possible for any humanoids to do. Also, make sure your character, while searching for their father's killer, is also intent on restoring mana. That is a key point in the story, and without sharing that goal, you'd have almost no reason to be traveling with the groups. This has caused me some strife. The reason elves can't be thieves/assassins is because I wanted them to seem like the "pure" race. I realize this is a bit unrealistic as there will always be thieves and criminals, but at the same time, I'm trying to balance out elves. The way things are now, they are tied for the most powerful race with the Dok, having access to magic and seven different classes. As far as being a bard... could you specify a bit more? Do you mean simply a mage who also plays music, someone who fights using music, or something else entirely? Finally as for elven naming conventions, I'm guessing you're asking what they look and sound like. Here's some examples of elven names I'll be using in this RP. Cyrien (Male name) Resyn (Male name) Elewynn (Female name) Lyra (Female name) Aramus (Male name) Basically something along those lines. Y's never hurt. If you're looking for something more specific just let me know. On a different note, there are some things I'd like to ask you all about. How would you feel about a language system? For example, each race could speak maybe 2 languages. Say that elves could speak elvish and the human language, Dok could speak Shantii and Dok, Nomads could maybe share a language with humans and also speak Shantii, or something like that. It could make things interesting while trying to have an Elf communicate with a Dok. It may require a member in the group to translate. At the same time, this may overcomplicate things, so I wanted to ask for opinions. Finally, it is very likely that there may be a complete overhaul of the classes available to races, so you will be allowed to change races/classes if this happens since we haven't started yet. I would like to extend a thanks to Jory, Hukuna, KingMurdoc, and Pokelord for keeping things simple. You make my job easier.

Well, the problem with this is that it doesn't really fit into the story due to humans having lost the use of magic. I did realize after typing this all out that humans didn't really have as many classes left as I had hoped, but I can't really see any way to fix that other than adding a lot of new range/melee classes or completely redoing the storyline.

Alright. Mael, come on.

Gulpin. No offence, but your avatar's green, and there's that little thing in the top right corner that looks like the thing on Gulpin's head...

Whoah, whoah, whoah. Rule number 3. You're sounding quite Mary-Sueish here, especially the organization, which I believe I specifically listed in the rules... Yes, I did. Basically anything I bolded in your post needs to be changed. There are no charms to resist things, at least not right in the beginning. Also, if you're going to be a ranger, that means no magic. I understand that I have said that elves are born with such a thing, but in order to be able to use it, they need to have trained in it, like a Mage, Elemental Knight, or Healer. Otherwise, there would be no reason not to be an elf. The organization needs to go. It would be directly interfering with my storyline and would almost be a separate story on its own. I also don't really like the idea of you trying to recruit members on the sign-up for my RP... If you would like such a thing, it would be best to make it in a separate RP of your own. Again, fix the bolded parts and you'll be good to go. Thanks!

Welcome to Aervana Aervana is a world of magic. Almost all life is sustained by the world’s mana either directly or indirectly. However, mana levels have been declining at an alarming rate. The world has lost so much mana that those born without it have lost the ability to use magic. Plant life is dwindling in many areas, causing chain reactions that are affecting the entire ecosystem. On top of this, dark forces are gathering to the north. Unknown creatures have been sighted razing villages. As a member of this world, your goal is to journey across the many biomes of Aervana to find the source of the decline of mana and destroy it, as well as the demonic forces. Travel across the world, encounter all sorts of life, work together with comrades, and defeat whoever or whatever is behind this decline of the world. Aervana is at stake. Defend it with your life. Races Aervana is home to five humanoid races: Humans, Elves, the Vanda Nomads, the Shantii Warriors, and the Dok of the Black Swamp. Each race can speak Aervic and there own language. You are a member of one of these races and will work together with the others to repair the mana of the world. Humans Elves Vanda Nomads Shantii Warriors The Dok Class Descriptions Warrior Ranger Thief Assassin Berserker Mage Elemental Knight Healer Paladin Necromancer Bard Shaman Gods Roleplaying Rules RP Application Please fill out this form to join, and POST YOUR CHARACTER IN THE RP CHARACTER THREAD AS WELL. Example (This is an NPC that I will be playing in the story) Character Name: Kho Gender: Male Race: Vanda Nomad Class: Ranger Description: Kho is a Vanda Nomad who travels the world alone. As such, he is quiet and keeps to himself, which may cause him to appear unfriendly. He wears a leather vest over dark green shirt and a long, flowing, scarf that wraps around his shoulders up to just below his mouth. He is in his mid-twenties and has short, dark brown hair with longs bangs in the front. As a ranger, he wields a longsword which he has named Essence, and carries a shortbow on his back. Kho is currently searching for the purpose in his life. While he is a skilled warrior, he takes no joy in battle, and withdraws inside himself after every encounter, cleaning his sword and becoming lost in dreary thoughts of the people he has killed… Template Character Name: Gender: Race: Class: Description: I'm thinking that we can start the RP after 8 people have signed up. I'd like to split into multiple groups that will all start at different places around the world. People can still join after we start, at least for a while. Remember, variety in races and classes will make this much more fun, so keep that in mind when creating a character.

Nope. Mael?

A sleek, shiny red Scizor. On second thought, a shiny Scizor isn't red, sorry... It all makes sense now... I feel stupid for not getting that.

Jolteon Delibird?! I'm offended.

Hmm... Either Scizor or Blastoise, I can't decide.

Well that video ended nothing like I expected.

No. I am the breaker of back and forths. Alpha, I call upon you.

9/10 I've always loved custom pokeballs.

Not yet. Come on, Mael...

Alright, I've got it. You two have to get in a huge argument, start a battle, and end up killing each other in it. It's perfect.

I'd have to go with a sword. Probably a longsword, no shield. If not that, then a greatsword of some sort, but I feel like they'd be too slow. It has to look cool too. Preferably a black blade, but the look isn't as important I guess.

I've never had one myself, though I think it would be cool. My friend's dad apparently gets them all the time. Also... I've heard that drinking apple juice before you sleep helps you have lucid dreams. Can anyone confirm this? I've never tried...

Nope. Mael?

@Secundum Here's one attempt at a non-pixelated version. Use it if you like, or I can try something else if you want. I'm running out of time...

You have no idea how to breathe.

But Gothdevoir! GOTHDEVOIR!!!!!
