The Hero's Call

Anbuasassin18 · May 26, 2012

The kingdom of Glorinthor has seen its share of war and now enjoys a quiet peace but an evil necromancer defeated years ago by two heroes has resurfaced and seeks to destroy the world we love. The king of the land has issued a call for anyone willing to answer so that heroes may once again rise to save this world from evil. Will you be the one he seeks?

Setting: Medieval

Kingdom name: Glorinthor

Roles
The old heroes: Jukujin and Anbuasassin18
High Necromancer: Demosthenes117
Servant of Evil: PowerBass
Heroes: (archer, warrior/paladin, wizard , priest) Priest: Rokku Hizori, Archer: dulde, Wizard: mittenkitten83, Warrior: Emantuohtiweno

Character Sheet

Name : Something to fit the setting
Age: 18+
Appearance : You may draw your character or use an image to represent them
Role : Remember only 1 person can fill a role there are no plural roles this is first come first serve
Abilities : If you are not a hero or the necromancer this doesn't apply to you
History : Get creative

Rules
1. No vampirism or lycanthropy

2. No white magic

3. The servant of evil has no magic

4. Necromancer can only animate bodies that have not been buried on sacred ground and cannot resurrect dead minions. Any corpse that is animated comes back stronger than a normal human would be. Can use black magic to change weather and send messages etc. get creative with that (astral projection, appearing in fire and what not)

5. The Priest will be a servant of the light and will not have the ability to heal etc (see rule 2) and will have the privilege of creating the religion and its proverbs etc. They can give blessings to the heroes and townsfolk they may encounter

6. The wizard will not be a warlock and deals in arcane magic. They cannot summon familiars as this count as dark magic but has more of a Merlin spell set. Within these guidelines the wizard may create their own spells and what not. Magic cannot be used for personal gain such as creating coins.

7. The warrior/paladin can be portrayed differently. If the player chooses to be a paladin, they will be a religious zealot that seeks to put an end to all evil with a strong sense of justice within them as well. The paladin may also pass out blessings. If a warrior is chosen, the player will have a little more liberty but the warrior must maintain the sense of justice the paladin would have. Remember for the paladin, no white magic (rule 2).

8. The archer may be from the army or a small town background such as a huntsman. They may use bows such as longbows or short bows but no crossbows. A quiver with arrows will need to be present and you will not have an endless loop of ammo so you need to take into account arrow supply as the story progresses. For melee you may use daggers or one handed swords if necessary. No Robin Hood backstory.

9. No hero is to be a thief ever or under any circumstances.

10. Final rule: HAVE FUN AND GET CREATIVE!

If you have any questions about joining or more about the roleplay private message me, Anbuasassin18, or Jukujin.

Role : One out of two surviving heroes that first defeated the necromancer
Abilities : Arcane ablities, can open portals to different places in the world. Able to understand ancient languages. The only remaining master of the Archon form which only another wizard may master
History : Grillock was born in a small village on the borders of the kingdom. When he reached the age of 13, the Wizards of the Order came to his house to bring him into their care for there was a prophecy that he would play a key role in defeating a great evil. Grillock, however, didn't believe the wizards and tried to convince his parents that he was no magician. It was then that he learned he was adopted and that his true parents were great wizards that gave their lives to seal a Demon into a stone. Upset and in rage Grillock fled his home where his anger was so great that the dormant arcane powers within him lashed out at the surroundings. Upset by what he had done he fell to his knees and began to weep when the high wizard Antioch approached him and placed his hand upon his shoulder. From that day Grillock trained with the wizards until the time came where he left to journey on his own. It was during his travels that he and three other heroes defeated the great evil the prophecy spoke of. 30 years passed and Grillock is now one out of two surviving members of that party and spends his days troubling over a prophecy Antioch had told him of shortly after his success that the great evil would one day resurface and that he must find a way to help stop it. When the Hero's Call was issued, Grillock knew it was time to fulfill the prophecy and made ready to journey to the Royal Palace of Glorinthor.

claim the priest role.

dulde · May 27, 2012

Name : Arabella Lynley
Age: 23
Appearance :
[SPOILI]

[/SPOILI]
Role : Archer
History : Arabella's family is a family made of simple merchants and hunters who sold foods and spices. She often traveled with her family and is the eldest of 4 girls. Her family gave up on a male heir after the fourth girl and hoped that one of their daughters would marry someone who would be heir. However, travelling around the kingdom makes it hard for any of them to settle down and actually meet someone, so these hopes are in vain. Considering that she is still the eldest and her parents were getting older, however, Arabella adopted the trade of hunting and trading so that they could sell them in famous merchant towns and make furs. She had perfected her skills and loved the thrill of the hunt, and even simply just hunting. Occasionally, the more money-hungry, competitive part of her would use her skills in archery for money. When the call was made by the king for heroes to rise up, Arabella decided she would rise up as well. She says it's to save the world her family lives in and to protect the kingdom, but if she were completely honest with herself, Arabella was really doing this for the thrill, the challenge, and the recognition.

EDIT: Fixed some problems with the spoiler tags

Name : Seraphin Donnelli
Age: 20
Appearance : View attachment 11609
Role : Wizard
History : Seraphin came from a rich city, she was studious and liked to train her magic. She attended classes and lessons with one of the Wizards from her city and learned everything she knows from him. When she was young she loved to see Wizards show off their powers, finding it amazing how they could obtain such power, and ever since then she wanted to become one. She has trained hard, but she lived a life wealthier than others which makes her a bit oblivious to the earnings of money and how hard you have to work for it. She doesn't mean to be arrogant, but she was never taught any different.

Name : Duran

Age: 47
Appearance : View attachment 11861

Role : One of the surviving heroes.

Abilities : Agile, master of crossbows, Quick-reaction times.

History : Not much is known about Duran. He comes from a long line of brethren that were trained to endure incredible amounts of emotional and physical pain. Duran has also learned everything about crossbows, how they are made, constructed, the rate of fire, and how to add additional power to them. Long ago, Grillock and himself teamed up to defeat the evil Necromancer who cast a plague upon the land. After he was defeated..Duran went his own way to fully perfect himself, and now it seems the time for him to load up his crossbow has come again.
