[OOC]: Blades and Magic

[Noctis the Devious]

Worldly Information || Rules || Character Application || Cast || Character Directory​

In the land of kings and monsters, the people prayed for mercy from the chaos and two gods answered. One a woman with a beauty beyond compare with flowing red hair streaked with golds of the sun and blues of the skies, and the other, a man with strength no one could best. The woman, goddess Mariun, bestowed upon her four chosen individuals objects that appeared unique only to the individual it was destined for but seemed no more than a broken trinket to those not worthy. The man, god Raoul, bestowed upon his four chosen armor that could withstand demonic magic and blades that could cut through the toughest skins. Lead by these merciful gods, they alone restored order to the chaos. It was they who founded the Order of the Destined.

The Order of the Destined was founded by two gods, Mariun, goddess of magic and sorcery, the sky, will, and birds, and Raoul, god of earth, metal, politics, and war. Together with their Destined, they brought wonder and hope into a world were there seemed to be none. But once the two gods felt their work was done, they chose two of their destined to lead the order and continue their practise and bestowed upon them their last gift, and perhaps the most precious, knowledge to aid them in their noble quest for order.

A century had passed since the rise of the Order, and since then what started off as a humble organization has turned into one of the greatest forces of this time with branches in every kingdom far and wide. But the Castle-city of Haven was where their story had started, the seaside settlement transforming into the largest city in the kingdom, and perhaps all of the nine great kingdoms. In the center, the castle towering tall and proud over it's people. In honor of Mariun and Raoul, a queen and king with equal power are chosen to lead, and it is to them the Order has sworn their loyalty.

The Order itself resides in a now sprawling construct on the edge of the city. Built right up against the Grand Wall that protects the city of outside invasion and monstrous forces at works it houses numerous disciples with new children, whether born or recruited, coming in on a semi-regular basis, and masters that help guide these children into initiates. A work staff aids in the care of the residences and the up keep of the grounds, but are by no means servants. Disciples, initiates, members, and masters alike are expected to clean up after themselves and are in charge of their living spaces. The grounds can house children thirteen and older, keeping the younger disciples, children who are still training to become initiates, in rooms of four with two bunk beds and chests to store items, and the older disciples, those who have seen their fifteenth winter in rooms of two with two beds and chests. Once inituated upon seeing their eighteenth winter, they are given the choice to live off grounds. The younger disciples, children who are still learning about the world, often live in nursery houses off the grounds in clusters of seven with a woman and a man to look after them. Unless one or both of their parents belong to the Order, then they can stay with them until the age of thirteen.

Besides living spaces, the Order also has a large dining room where they serve three meals a day, kitchens where anyone other than kitchen staff is not allowed, training grounds for both martial and magical purposes, classrooms, and study halls. Upon entrance, one can find themselves in the main hall where announcenents are given, disciples are initiated, and members can find missions posted on the message board; however, personally assigned missions, while rare, can be arranged in many other ways. The local bath houses and other establishments such as the forges also serve the Order for recreational and intellectual purposes.

But not all is well. Recently, Destined, a pairing of one warrior of Raoul and one sorceress of Mariun, have been going missing during their assignments and the Order is starting to become worried, especially now when they are to initiate their graduating disciples and send them off on their first quest. Murmurings have started amongst the masters of whether or not they should proceed, or delay the initiation until the two missing parties can be found. If they do, it would the first initiation delayed since the Order of the Destined was established.

I understand xD I'm back on my phone too x)

Yes, they are x.x I gravely under estimated the response to an authorian magic girl roleplay >.>;

 

[Noctis the Devious]

@Neko_Green, Well Agender is completely different from non binary and bi-gender o.o They literally don't identify with either gender. It's up to you what you want to do :3

I know, I just thought Bi-gender would be better for what I was thinking, but really gender doesn't matter for her character. Her being Bi-gender or binary doesn't character her character that much besides having diversity.

Also, she is more of a sorcerer btw. From what I read it seemed like a Warrior Sorcerer was a sorcerer who used an enchanted weapon but isn't that good at it.

 

[Noctis the Devious]

Warrior Sorceress is a Warrior who can use magic.

A Sorceress Warrior is a Sorceress who can use an enchanted weapon.

Oh wait your right x.x I used magical warrior for some odd x.x Still, stacking with yet another occupation/class would be too much.

Friend, Magical Girls are life. =D

Also, I see that the age can, with a good reason, be older than 18, but is there any possibility of younger? Not like 13 mind, maybe just 17. Even 16 would be pushing it.

 

[Noctis the Devious]

Preferably not x.x Eighteen is kind of an age requirement. If that wasn't explain well enough then sorry Dx I'm working on the introduction today so hopefully everything is better explained.

Thank you I have most of my stuff in the CS posted besides the CS I will work on the other stuff this weekend. Thank you for letting me join you :D Ivory is going to be so funny when she clown transforms.

 

[Noctis the Devious]

Oh dude a clown transformation :o

EDIT: Your sheet is in shades of dark gray e.e I'm a black background user so I can't read it very well.

Is that bad? I change the color to default.

 

[Lylith]

Oh. No reason. I just didn't think of one I liked and it seemed like the medieval method of surnames would work fine. Drana Crayts-daughter for example.

Noctis, I feel like you're focusing on the wrong things in your RP so I'm going to step down. Honestly I understand why you have to focus so much on balance and rules, because new writers don't understand that this is a story and not a game... But the fact remains that you still haven't fixed the plethora of spelling errors, grammatical errors, and complete omissions of information in your lore of the RP you're trying to convey.

I feel like you are simply focusing too much on the wrong things, and I don't think that I can work with this since you're the GM. Ill leave my spot open for someone else... Besides. That was your "third review" of my CS anyways.

 

[Noctis the Devious]

Okay, those things are not instantaneous you know. I've updated both the introduction and the world information but I'm doing this all from mobile and on my spare time, which is suddenly shortened do to an unplanned emergency surgery for my cat. If you can't be patient and are not satisfied with the speed I'm working at then please do leave.

 

[Lylith]

Well that's the problem. If you're going to GM you need to be able to... Your missing two things a GM needs. Time, and an actual computer and keyboard. It's irresponsible for someone to try and GM if they cannot give the writers their full attention as well as produce quality work in an efficient and concise manner...

I'm sorry I'm being so harsh but I feel like as staff you should know these things and not waste our time...

If you had produced your lore in its entirety the first time, with no omissions, instead of publishing it expecting to update it later, I might not have had to edit... However you started the RP early and expected me to write a character sheet based off of incomplete lore.

I hope that this RP is successful, but I won't be able to participate. Not because Im not patient, but because I have standards for the people I write with, and I honestly expected more from an assistant.

Good day.

W.I.P.

Hex Code: #00FF00 (This is for Green, yes?)

Name: Aurora Kraeriant
Age: 18
Gender: Female

Personality:

- Arrogant: Believes with absolute certainty that she is above the average person, even if she isn't actively attempting to be meaninglessly disrespectful. Her confidence in herself and her supposed higher place in the world and purpose aren't things she's shy to tell about.
- Hard to understand: A mix of strange/old language, weird metaphors, and twisted point of view make it hard for her to get her point across.
- Loner: Doesn't like crowds and even small company is hard for her to manage since she most likely feels detached from those who "aren't like her". Lonely at the top, and what have you

+ Selfless: As taught at home, she doesn't actively seek to benefit herself even if she could. While it's hard for her to tell the others why, and sometimes they may shun her for the way she speaks and treats them, ultimately the burdens she places on herself are so that others don't have to do so.
+ Optimist: Regardless of how bleak or hopeless the situation is (and even when planning for the worst), her spirit and certainty are tied to the better outcome, to what is beneficial to all even if it is unrealistic.
+ Diligent: Is orderly, efficient, meticulous and planning when it comes to the work she must do, from the mundane to the extraordinary.
​

Destined Object: Chained gauntlet with jewels, criss-crossing along her left arm. It's actually three chains - gold, silver, bronze.

Transformation Outfit: White filigree crown with emeralds; hair becomes tied into twin side buns, Leia-style. White form-fitting-yet-flexible breastplate with intricate, filigree dark green markings that occasionally glow; covers only the front, up to the neck. Back is covered by a green cape with the same intricate white filigree markings that occasionally glow. Forearms and hands covered by white elbow-length gloves in the same style as the breastplate.

Biography:

• Born as only daughter of a pair of Destined with relatively close ties to the crown family.​
• Destined parents retired, raised her to take care of others and lead. Taught her to always be mindful of her work and do it on time.​
• Before she became 13 she fancied herself the new Grand Sorceress and 'ruled' playgrounds, talking weird and thus making it hard to get what she was saying beyond her being at the top. Magical Awareness allowed her to know about her magical ability, she used this to justify her 'ruling'.​
• Her experiences as tyrant made it hard for her to make friends once she became an official Disciple, especially since she refused to let go of her aura of superiority and being above everybody else in spite of now being surrounded by others with magical ability.​
• Teenage years marked by difficulty explaining herself and expressing her feelings properly. Reached a critical point where she was constantly depressed and annoyed at the Masters and her fellow Disciples.​
• Was pulled out of her slump by an older Warrior, her first hard crush (others had come and gone but nothing like that), who showed her to have a positive outlook on things. Tragically he disappeared and has not been heard of since, but following what he taught her, now she awaits convinced that he will return for her (how couldn't he?)​

Relationships:

Gareth - At a young age, the two often crossed paths in playgrounds, where Gareth was a 'subject' to Aurora's attempts at 'ruling'. The boy would be confused at why some girl would shout at him to get him to do things for the supposed benefit of the playground, but would not cooperate much, stubborn as he was even from childhood. Neither would forget each other.

Payton - An old childhood acquaintance of Aurora, not quite a friend and not quite an enemy. In their early years, Aurora's playground 'government' plans often clashed with Payton's opposition to her - a sort of Rebel vs Queen dynamic that over the years evolved into a friendly rivalry, a game of sorts. After the two became disciples, with Aurora becoming more of a loner, she and Payton began seeing each other less. Even so, their fire-forged relationship has led to the two trusting each other - few people know you as well as those you've clashed with over and over again, as they say.

Aureolis - Somebody Aurora didn't meet until after becoming a Disciple. From the start, Aurora's loner tendencies didn't mix well with his social proactivity, and the playboy routine didn't charm her much either. Further, their contrasting views on how somebody 'above the standard' should go about life and rule (when applicable) mean the two don't get along even though they're aware of each other.

Initiation ceremony:

Aurora was not a morning person in the least. She hated those pots even though she knew how necessary they were, and how she should be grateful to the early risers making them sound. It was thanks to them that she always managed to struggle out of bed and do her duties as they had to be done. This day, the anticipation for the coming ceremony was an added boost to her mood. She dressed and styled her hair, thinking how far she had come and how far she still had to go. She thought of those she'd left behind to rise to her status and call, and of those that now stood beside if not with her.
She ate her breakfast as ever, alone with her thoughts. She'd given up on the last ration of porridge, because the one to be served after her clearly needed it more than she did, because even without it Aurora knew she could shine brightly later that day, in the grand hall surrounded by masters and staff. She would be immaculate and presentable for when she stood before the Grand Sorceress and Grand Warrior.
Some time later, when she finally was in that hall, along with the other chosen seven, she could hardly believe it, could hardly stay still. Destiny was calling to her, she was sure. When Grand Sorceress Elenor called her name, Aurora would claim what was hers by right.

- Updated the Initiates information.
- Added Magic Awareness
- Added Recruiters
- Castle-city list updated.
Sorry for the inconvenience but if being on staff taught me anything, is that shit happens, nothing goes as planned, and to learn from those around you. Sometimes it takes an outside perspective to put things into perspective. My deepest apologies and hopefully now everything is in order.

 

[Lylith]

I'm sorry for being so gruff.

My BF isn't having a good day, and he's taking it out on me, and so I'm taking it out on you and that's not right. I apologize... I shouldn't have been so rude.

 

[Noctis the Devious]

It's really okay ^.^ I'm a bit of a scatter brain and the stress and anxiety of watching my cat struggle with the drugs in her system and keeping her from picking at her stitches and jumping around just kind of made it worse ^.^; Roleplaying is a good distraction, but I honestly didn't have anything going on when I started this o.o;

 

[Beowulf]

My philosophy, it's healthy to have a good rant every now and again. If you need to rant, give me a shout.

 

[Lylith]

I've been assistant admin on a few role playing sub forums so I know how it is sometimes, trying to run a story and check up on everything else that's going on as well.

I hope things start to smooth over IRL...

See you later Beowulf. I don't think I need to rant, lol... I feel like I got out what I needed to say, even though it came out a little worse than I'd planned.

 

[Noctis the Devious]

Hey you still want to be in the roleplay? I only reviewed your character twice o.o
