    Merrik's Thoughts on the Army:
    I first and foremost aim to fill the following ranks:
    1st Captain: my right hand tamer whom I will trust with all leadership in my stead should the times call for it.
    2nd Captain: one who will be a support to myself and my 1st captain.
    Scouts: those whose primary duty is to be our first line of offense and defense: observance
    Defenders: these tamers must be powerful protective mana users. A strong defensive wall against our enemies will be infinitely useful.
    Warriors: as with any army, all soldiers are to fight, but I will need a team with a powerful offense specifically to be send out to deal damage. These will have to be skilled in mana, but also very well trained with a weapon and as a team with their dragons.

    ASSIGNED RANKS: (Not to be confused with combat roles, as listed below)
    1st Captain: Goliath Atreus
    2nd Captain: Terria Tetra
    Scouts: Saira Rinien, Avren Libram, Aris Vaughn
    Defenders: Goliath Atreus, Narien Ki'ila, Dalaith Malai, Illyria Renthir,
    Warriors: Terria Tetra, Kalona Fischer, Requiem Mortalis, Reverie Gray, Aiko Vadarys, Aislin Whitely

    I've set out the following fighter classes to establish a means of arranging the army, each tamer must fall into one category of combat roles as a primary and one as a secondary:
    Offensive Mage
    Defensive Mage
    Offensive Non-mana Fighters
    Dragon-warrior
    Healers
    Ambush Warriors


    So far, my thoughts are as such:
    +Goliath has proven himiself a valuable warrior and earned both my respect and confidence. He will be my 1st Captain without question. I trust him to keep the others safe in battle with or without me. He will double as a defensive mage, as his bonded ability has grown much stronger since his time in Kona Petl.
    +Avren has grown as a healer and has put effort into developing himself as a warrior. While I will continue to encourage him to grow as a warrior, his role will be that of a healer. He will work as an archer as well, should the need arise.
    +Saira has gained my confidence as she has shown her capability as a survivor, a soldier, and a friend to many in the order. She will serve as an archer, as this has been her strength, but I would double her as an offensive mage, given she continues to develop her elemental mana.
    +Kalona concerns me as she grows more and more ill. She holds a vast amount of potential as a mage but if this mark brings the end of her mana use, which I sometimes fear it will, she will need to serve as a spear-woman, for she works well with her weapon and is quick on her feet. I hope to maintain her in her role as an offensive mage and a defensive mage, but time will tell if such hopes will be for naught.
    + Dalaith continues to grow and develop her capability in fields of both mana and combat. Now that she has established a level of self-sufficiency with a weapon after her time spent at the Stallion tribe, I am more confident putting her in the front line as a mage. She must be able to defend herself if her mana fails and now, I feel she can do at least this. She will now serve as a defensive mage primarily, and an offensive mage secondarily.
    +Terria will serve as an offensive mage, as I originally planned. But we may need to pull her back at some point and use her to heal the wounded with Avren, for there are no others with any level of skill in the healing magicks.
    +Requiem has begun to show potential. His bonded ability has become well established after his time at Kona Petl and after some displays of aptitude in combat, I'm confident in placing him onto the battle field. I am most inclined to position him as an offensive mage and an offensive non-mana fighter.
    +Reverie has finally dealt with the disturbing issues she had previously displayed and grown to be a stronger mage because of it. I feel she can now work to gain aptitude with a blade, but I still am not confident in her combat abilities. She will play the role of a dragon warrior and fight from atop her dragoness, keeping herself out of harm by remaining in the skies. She will lead the three newcomers.
    +Narien has displayed a level of courage (or craziness) that leaves me oddly comfortable about his place on the battle field. The man is adept with a blade and has incredible perception. A bit unorthodox, but capable. I fear his elemental mana is not yet stable enough to be a strong weapon, but his bonded ability has grown since his time at Kona Petl, as was hoped. I will aim to utilize him primarily as a defensive mage, but also as an offensive non-mana fighter.
    +Aislin TBA
    +Aiko, Aris, and Illyria have not yet gained my confidence that they should be in the midst of the battle. They will serve as dragon warriors and remain airborn, dousing the foes with fires and transporting the injured back to the healers with Reverie as their lead.
    (Note to crimson: I'll edit this once Xylia is in)


  • +Posting/Activity Rules and Regulatory Fun
    +1+
    +Lengthy Unexplained Absences+
    Any unexplained absence proceeding the span of one week will result in a warning. If said absence continues for two weeks, you will be considered MIA and you will lose your slot in this roleplay, but are welcome to apply again in the second chapter.
    +2+

    +Multiple Unexplained Absences+
    If you regularly go missing for several days without a word and are constantly responsible for holding up the progress of this roleplay, you will receive a warning. While real life isn't always predictable and you may have other roleplays, I expect you to have a level of dedication and respect for this roleplay just like everyone else. Should your behaviour continue and I or Erranruin feel that you have are severely dragging the roleplay down, your slot in this roleplay will be removed.
    Again, you're more than welcome to apply in the second chapter.
    +3+

    +Locking up Another Player's Character+
    In the case of a collaboration or interaction between characters, you will be expected to post in a punctual manner. If you do not have the time to do so at that moment in time, please refrain from entering into collabs or arranging character interactions.
    In a personally arranged collab you will be expected to post every 5 or 6 days. Failure to do so will be considered "locking up" another player's character and that player gains the right to end that interaction either by voiding the collab or by closing the interaction with a generic, non-altering post for your character. If you don't want to have your character spoken for, don't lock other player's character up.
    In a GM initiated collab you will be expected to post once a week, with a grace period of 2 days for explained tardiness. If you do not post within the week, you will be contacted and asked to post. If you do not post within the two days, your character will be moved along by either myself or by Erranruin to prevent the other players from being held up.
    +4+

    +Low Quality Posts+
    While I generally don't believe I hold the right to harshly criticize other player's posts, I expect a level of writing from this roleplay. If you are continually posting posts with less than 2 paragraphs, improper grammar, violations to the lore, or character altering of other player's characters, you will receive a warning which may lead to the loss of your slot in this roleplay. If you aren't willing to put effort into this roleplay like everyone else, you don't need to be in this roleplay.
    +5+

    +Time Limits+
    Unexplained Hiatus: 7 days warrants a warning. 14 days warrants your removal from this RP. The countdown for any future or current Hiatus will commence upon the posting of this rule-set.
    Multiple Unexplained Hiatuses: 4+ days of unexplained absence warrants a warning. 3 warnings in one month warrants your removal from this RP. The countdown for any future or current Hiatus will commence upon the posting of this rule-set.
    Multiple Excused Hiatuses: 5 or more absences with excuses, spanning 4+ days in one month will warrant the discussion of your removal from this RP. This means you are absent from this roleplay 20 days out of the month. If this persists into a second month you may be asked to leave this roleplay on the grounds that you do not have the time for it. The countdown for any future or current Hiatus will commence upon the posting of this rule-set.
    +6+

    +I love you all+
    I don't like having to inflict these kinds of rules but I firmly believe they are for the good of the RP as a whole. I don't WANT to lose any of my players but I'd rather lose one or two instead of having the entire RP fail because it's constantly being held up. If you find these rules to be unfair or unjust, please contact me VIA pm and we can discuss your concerns.
    Thank you,
    ~Soul

I KNEW I KNEW YOU FROM SOMEWHERE

Hey there ^^

This guy?

You're in luck cus the guy who had the Swampy left recently!

[spoili]
Name: Rashi'ik
Age: 31
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Shaman_by_theincredibleandy.jpg


Personality:
Rashi'ik is a very loyal, determined adventurer. Wild at heart and ferocious in nature, he is unrelenting in his beliefs and suffers no insult upon his pride or those he cares for. His retribution is swift, yet his judgement is just. The magic of the swamp flows through his veins and he sometimes gets lost in trances or rituals during the day. At night, he is often plagued by nightmares of sickness sweeping across the land, which only serves to fuel his merciless search for the truth. In his interactions with others, Rashi'ik tends to withhold his judgement for a few seconds, and never says the first word. He feels as though everyone must prove themselves worthy to him, otherwise he might just walk away without so much as a comment. Given his rough demeanor and grave personality, he finds excessive revelry to be annoying and downright extraneous. As for the partakers in such reckless merriment, Rashi'ik has no love for them. For the most part, he is very quiet, opinionated and carries a heavy disdain for being trifled with.

Backstory:
Born in a Slyvis swamp, Rashi'ik lost his mother while he was but an infant due to an infection she contracted during his birthing. Despite the miserable conditions of the swamp, death during childbirth was rare thanks to ancient shamanic medicines and magic and it was believed that his mother's life force was given (some say stolen) by Rashi'ik at birth, earning him the title "Blood Born". As he aged, Rashi'ik was viewed with great respect and even greater fear by his peers, although the wise men of the village knew that Rashi'ik had not stolen his mother's life force, but that he was merely an unfortunate, misunderstood child. Viewed as a monster by some, he spent most of his days alone on the swamp, studying and observing the natural order of life. He learned that all that live, must die and carried that heavy burden with him from a very early age. Upon his eighteenth name day, he was summoned before the council of elders where he underwent a mystical ritual that would determine if he was suitable as a new shaman. After the elders threw different reagents upon the fire, Rashi'ik inhaled a hefty amount of smoke. When he didn't pass out, he began his shaman training, learning the art of herbal remedies and maladies as well as how to live off the swamp. By the time he was 25, Rashi'ik had become the most talented shaman of the village, his knowledge of life and death surpassed those of the village as he discovered new potions and ingredients that healed and harmed. He could not stop the inevitable, but he could help heal grave wounds and cure ailments with his potions and remedies. Their villages warriors would come to him seeking venoms for their weapons and soon his tribe became feared and respected throughout the land. Due to his knowledge, he was revered by even the elders of the village who would come to him with humble reverence, seeking guidance on the ways of life. Women brought their sick children, hunters came to be healed of their mortal wounds. Word of Rashi'ik, the Blood Born spread through the land and people would traverse the treachery of the swamp to seek his guidance. Merrik was one such traveler who would take Rashi'ik on a journey far from the swamps...

Skills/Abilities:

Alchemical Mastery: Rashi'ik can create potions and poisons to harm or heal from a variety of different herbs and reagents. He can pick up on different plant and animal traits very quickly for discovering new recipes.

Hunter's Prowess: Rashi'ik's years of living on the treacherous swamp and competing with hostile tribes has honed his skills as a warrior. He is proficient with most tribal weapons, but is most skilled with his Ironwood battle staff which he uses to deliver crushing blows upon his enemies.

Nature Sense: Rashi'ik is familiar with traversing treacherous terrain, determining the disposition of wild beasts and being able to live off the land.

Blood Born - Rashi'ik's birthing circumstances gave him a unique resistance to wounding and diseases, making him less susceptible to such ailments.

Bonding Ability (Indomitable Spirit) - Mandragor and Rashi'ik's iron will renders Rashi'ik immune to magical enchantments which would harm him or otherwise leave him defenseless. He is also able to push through any pain to continue acting through injuries as if unharmed, although afterwards he will take the full toll of his wounds.
Dragon Breed: Swamp (Olive)
Dragon Name: Mandragor
Dragon Gender: Male
Dragon Appearance:
e18gtNY.png


General Personality:
They are strong willed, hard headed creatures that despise being dominated. The only living being they will answer to is their tamer, and even then they only agree to obey out of the love and respect infused by the bond.Truly one of the the more unusual breeds, these dragons make for interesting companions and unpredicatble friends. Tamers who are chosen by the Olive dragon have more adventurous tales than most others thanks to the dragons' deep woven curiosity and inability to acknowledge warnings like "Do Not Enter".

Additional Personality:
Mandragor is slow to emotion and prefers to observe rather than act. He is very observant, picking up on the slightest of details that Rashi'ik may tend to miss. He is more down to earth than Rashi'ik, preferring his physical abilities over spiritual ones. He sometimes views Rashi'ik as superstitious or downright weird. [/spoili]

The only things I can see that I'd want you to add is a face picture cus that pic dont tell us jack about what he looks like, also you may need to tone down the mystical aspect even more? Not sure about that last one, but magic really is not around unless you're a Dragon Tamer. But yeah! I think he looks good.

I'll need to chat to Soul because I just realised that we grabbed another rper recently and we might be not wanting anymore? But I still defs think we're open, especially to old roleplayers we know we can trust. ^_^ Also this guy's pretty unique!
