The Airship (OOC) (NEED MEMBERS!)

[Enthriper]

The Story

You, along with a band of Mercenaries, have decided to take it upon yourselves to protect the land of Raldia. You all have your own backstories, and your own friendships to make. Using the Airship, you may travel around the world of Raldia, protecting it from the evils that intend to destroy it. The RP will start around all of the characters meeting each other awhile boarding the ship.

Raldia

The land you were born in. Your home, and the land you are sworn to protect. The land of Raldia consists of a single, major continent, with many small islands surrounding it. No one who has sailed away from the continent has ever returned to tell tale of other places. Any attempts to fly away, also, result in the Airship malfunctioning, and a storm mysteriously appearing, forcing you to head back. In the center of Raldia lies the esteemed, University of Fate, where young adventurers go to learn how to defeat evil demons. Further information about the world must be discovered by your group.

Magick

The Raldians have discovered how to use the power from gemstones in order to create magick. Magick is the embodiment of the elements used to aid a Gem User.

Gems

Gems come in all shapes and sizes, and the type of element a gem produces is not limited to that certain gem. Meaning the same gems could have different elements. Also, a gem user has the ability to MASTER a gem, meaning he/she has drained all the power from it, by using it for a long period of time, and can now use the element whenever they want. Also, gem user's would need multiple gems for multiple elements, because gems can only have one element. Gems can also break if used too much.

Rules

1. I, Enthriper, am the GM, I will try to be fair, and just, but my word is law around here.
2. No over powered characters. This should be an exciting, story driven role playing, so if something happens to your character that really should have something bad happen it, then don't try to avoid it, just go with it, make it look even cooler.
3. No unnecessary things being said to others. I don't want any hate. Unless it's between characters and not users. Let's all just be friendly, but our characters can fight it out all we want!
4. Uhm.... have fun?

POSTING RULES IMPORTANT

In matters of posting, I want it to fair and pretty
equal in the posting... things. So, in order to keep
that, I've created a type of posting system.
There will be 2 kinds or posting, each having a
different task.

Common Posting
This kind of posting would be used in situations
where your character is just in a common happening.
Such as, talking in a group, moving to a different
place, aqquiring a skill or item. Whenever you
commonly post, you have to wait for at least 3 other
users to post before you can post again.

Aggresive Posting
This kind of posting would be used in situations
where your character's input is about 50% of the
entire input. So, if your character is in a
conversation with 1 other character. Or your
character is locked in combat. Whenever you aggressively
post, you have to wait for the other user/users
that are important for the aggresive posting.
So one user would have to wait for the other user
to continue the conversation, or battle.

RolePlaying Elements IMPORTANT

1. Creating a situation = You are allowed, and encouraged, to create your own scenario's for the roleplay. I would highly suggest talking about it first in the OOC, but you may drop a surprise every now and then if you want.
2. Becoming powerful = Don't be afraid to create a situation in which your character finds a powerful item or gains a powerful ability. But be prepared to have me throw a challenge at your character in order for them to keep it :3
3. Magic and Skills = This is a big one. So there is no kind of specific magic system in this roleplay. Like "Heal" or "Fire" As long as you have a gem with that element, you can create anything you want to, as long as you explain it. If your character has a fire gem and, say, a wind gem, They could cast, "Flame Gust," or anything that comes to your mind. The possibilities are endless, be creative. Strong spells, however, do need high level gems, so be prepared to make some weak spells at first. The same exact thing goes for abilities. If your character has high agility, or has practice/skill in movement, then make them able to scale a large jump! If they're bad at something, make them fail at that thing. (Don't worry, even if they fail, they still get exp for it.)
4. Taking the Lead = Under no circumstances, don't be afraid to take the lead. You could suggest things to me, or ask to write the story yourself. I'm open to all suggestions, just have fun with it!

How Skills Work

1. When you acquire a skill, ability, or Gem, You will be able to use that skill, ability, or gem at a low level. The more you use it, the more experience you have with it, and the more skilled you get. Every time you use the skill, you will obtain 1 XP point, and when you reach a certain number of XP points for your skill, your level of use will go up, and you will be able to use it better. For Gems, once you reach a certain level, you will have mastered the gem.

Technology

The people of Raldia have discovered many different ways to get around the land. They've invented steam-powered ships, and heating devices, and the Emperor has had a Royal Train invented. In order for these things to work, a heating device is needed. The most common thing used is a Flame Worker. This workman is skilled in the usage of fire gems, and can produce a great flame for a long period of time.

Many different weapons and armor have also been invented. Any weapon, it was discovered, encrusted with the element of a gem, can have that element used every time it is used for an attack. The same went for armor. Equipment with gems encrusted in them are known as Relics, and are quite expensive.

Magick is also used in daily life, although it is stamina draining. Whenever a spell is casted, the user's stamina is depleted for how long the spell is being casted. A Flame Worker must have a lot of energy in order to complete his job.

It was proven that normal villagers have better resistance to the stamina draining effects of magick using than mercenaries because they use it every day for their lives.

[Crow]

I take interest in this.

Can gems be a little more complex than just offensive elemental blasts? Such as transforming into beasts?

 

[Enthriper]

I take interest in this.

Can gems be a little more complex than just offensive elemental blasts? Such as transforming into beasts?

So gems aren't the spells themselves, gems are just the holders of many different elements. Spells, and all sorts of magick, are used through utilizing the elements contained in these crystals.
(Example: A fire gem would provide the element needed to create flame. A holy gem could provide the element needed for light, or healing.)

So a transformation spell would require the elements such as, the element of the creature you are transforming into, and the element Illusion. These two elements would have to be supplied through gems.

 

[Crow]

Name: Khimaira
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Look: She basically looks like this. Being a wild child, she does not seem to wear much clothing, limiting herself to a pair of leaves on her chest and a simple, silk loincloth. I will post this outfit later.
She is essentially 1.85 metres tall, and yet very slim and slender, with a curvacious figure.
Her necklace has her gems(except the Light Gem) and a pair of animal teeth on each end. The Light Gem is around the area of her loincloth.

Outfit Appearance(Ignore the weapons)

Bio: Khimaira once lived in the forests of Raldia, as a wild child who never knew any relatives. She had to survive by herself, hunting, being one with nature, giving her experience in combat and hunting bare-fisted. She also took an interest in shiny gems, self-experimenting on them in an attempt to learn more about them. Over time, some broke and she gained some more, and in the end, she only had those three she currently has now. She decided to use her newly-found power to become the guardian of this forest.
Odd, evil people invaded her forests, odd people with a power greater than hers. She was then forced out and decided to join the ones who could possibly help her.

Task: Navigator, Hunter-gatherer

Class: Gem User
Main Weapon Type: Bare fists, gems
Abilities:
Hunting - adept (3)
Trap detection - normal (1)
Cooking - horrendous (-1)
Weapon wielding - rather horrendous (-2)
Gem usage - great (2)
Hand-to-hand combat - great (2)
Star reading - normal (1)

Gems:
Light Gem
Dark Gem
Water Gem
Illusion Gem

Bag: Her gems, a tooth-based pendant
Personality: Khimaira may be a violent beast, but deep within, she is a gentle giant who cares for those who care about her. She is very protective of the ones she call 'brethren', and will ensure that no harm comes to them. When angered, however, Khimaira shows little to no mercy to those who go against her, and that is when she unveils her true state as a mad beast who fights with no mind or soul, only anger and vile rage.
Fears: She is afraid of fire, as well as technology that is alien to her.
Strengths: Her five senses seem to be a little higher than an average human's, making her role as navigator and hunter fitting.
Weaknesses: She is absolutely horrendous at weapon-wielding, yet her combat skills are pretty top-notch.
Special Qualities: She is an excellent fighter, especially in the speed department. She has previously self-taught herself in magick, mainly focusing on transformation spells via her Illusion Gem.
Other: She is not fond of man-made environments, and prefers fine nature.

 

[Crow]

Say, if the beast I intend to transform into has flight capabilities but literally no wind abilities, do I need a wind gem?

 

[Crow]

I should be done with my application. I guess it's time for some fun.

 

[Enthriper]

Say, if the beast I intend to transform into has flight capabilities but literally no wind abilities, do I need a wind gem?

Yes because the wind elements represents flight.

Accepted, welcome to the team!

 

[Crow]

I guess I'll hang around with flightless wings until I get a Wind Gem later then. The winged form I have planned has pretty good jumping anyways.

 

[Enthriper]

Alright, so we have 3 out of 10 characters.
Also, 2 characters are allowed from each user.
So If you want another character, you may make one more.

 

[Enthriper]

Sorry for my absence, many things came up, but now I'm open.
I might be appointing a back up GM in case I'm ever caught up in something.
I will be posting my TWO characters either later today, or tomorrow.

Reply, saying anything at all, so I know you're still with us. ;)

 

[Raven]

*raised hand* Still here.
I'll be helping my friend GM something but I'll reply as often as I can. It's a fast pasted RP I'm having to help with XD

 

[Crow]

Right here.

 

[Enthriper]

Name: Thomas Willow
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Look:

Bio: Thomas had always been interested in the sky. Ever since he was a child he loved heights and loved the wind. His family was very wealthy, and spoiled him most of the time. He has known extremely little of fighting, or of work. By he has self taught himself how to use magick. On his 17th birthday, he was gifted an Airship, and, not knowing what to do with it, he asked his Father. His Father told him that he should use it to protect the land. Knowing that he had little strength to do so, Thomas decided to recruit many mercenaries and utilize their strength to protect the land. His Father gifted him a relic of the family to help him along his journey, a whip.

Task: Thomas is the owner of the Airship, essentially the captain. He doesn't know how to do manual labor, but he will learn from the others along the way.

Class: Healer
Main Weapon Type: Whip
Abilities: Combat - Poor, Any Manual Labor - Extremely Poor, Bargaining - Great, Gem Usage - Good
Gems: Holy Gem - Contain the element of Light, Wind Gem - Contains the element of the sky.
Bag: Family Crest, Pendant, Two-Headed Coin.
Personality: Kind-Hearted, Loving, Shy
Fears: Pain, Bugs, Being un-wealthy
Strengths: Leading, Bargaining
Weaknesses: Fighting, Navigating
Special Qualities: Hides all of his blue hair dye under his bed.
Other: The main part about this character is that he doesn't know quite what he's doing at first, so everyone else has to help him along at first.
