Welcome to Gaia! ::

The summer and winter Blades, The weapons that mark the mortal champions of the Sidhie (Fairy's) Courts, have been stolen. And The Queens of the Fey courts have chose a group of seven to find and return them. 2 gifted humans. 2 Fay, one from each court. 2 Lycanthropes. And 1 other, who has yet to be agreed on, but must be neutral in the matter.

Presently, for this RP, will need at least one villain (person who stole the swords.) and 7 other characters. depending on how the voting goes, I will select a race and use it for the 7th person, the one who must be indifferent to the politics and care only about balancing the courts. I already have one person interested in playing one of the gifted humans, and once the other five slots are filled, this can begin. I should note that the pairs should come in opposite's. the mortals should be sided with either court, so should the members of what ever the third race ends up as.

One last note. I want every one playing to message me and tell me if they'd prefer if this was a modern day setting with the supernatural going on under normal humans noses pretty much all the time, or if this is was a classic fantasy setting. It's up to you guys, message me with your preference.

Rules.

1: No Godmodding.

2: You can kill, but you can also be killed.

3: The swords become whatever type of blade a person wielding them is best suited to. If your a katana master, it becomes a katana, if your some one who fences for a hobby, it becomes a saber or rapier, If your a big strong gutsy fighter with no training, it becomes a claymore. What ever suits the wielder.

4: Positions are given on a first come first serve bases.

5: I will only accept additional villains once all seven hero slots are occupied.

6: Post in different colors, as per normal.

7: Follow The TOS.

8: Must use character skeletons.

9: This is a semi lit to lit RP, keep that in mind.

Character Skeleton.

Name:

Position: (Rank, what species are you, which court do you back. )

Appearance: (Fill in the details your pic doesn't tell us, like height.)

Reason for participation: (What motivates you? Patriotism to a certain court? Desire for justice? Where you offered money? Power? Favor?)

Back story: (optional, if you don't want people to know your history, or know it before you play with them, leave this blank.)

Slots.

2 Mortals. Both slots taken, but it is still unclear which one is backing witch court.

2 Fey. Both the summer and winter courts are sending a Fey representative. Winter Court slot is still up for grabs, Summer has been filled.

2 Lycanthrops. Were animals to the rest of you. And Since they can come in a variety of flavors, just pick one that would fit with the court your partial to. Both Slots filled.

1 decider. That's me. I'm of Dragon descent, and can appear in the forms of a normal mortal, a half dragon, or a full dragon. More once play begins.

As many bad guys as you want. They can be of any race or talent. Go hog wild if you'd like this path.

Name: Geoffrey Joseph Ranald, more often referred to by his last name.

Position: Gifted human, backing the Summer court

Age: Old.

Appearance: Average height, about 5'11". He has tanned skin, leathery from age. He is bald on the top of his head, and his crown of hair stands upward, passing just above the top of his skull. He has a trimmed silver beard that suggests his age and class. He often wears light breeches and shirt under an old decorative robe, given to him as a gift of appraisal from elven scholars.

Reason for participation: Interest in world affairs, or atleast that's what he tells everyone.

Weapons/equipment: As a scholar and wizard, of sorts, he is rarely found without his mysterious tome. It is said he found it while on an excavation of the forgotten regions of the earth. Others suggest it was stolen from the eldest race themselves, or murdered for it. He simply says, "It was a gift," and no more. He also carries a shoulder bag with parcels and bottles of mysterious ingredients for his apothecary studies.

Back story: Not much is known about Ranald. He finds no comfort in friends, only in books, libraries and in his research, and sometimes other scholars. He is said to be the brightest human of his court and if it were not for this rumor, the court would wish him no part of them. He is often found taking residence with the elves, a race whos intelligence and knowledge exceeds that of any human. All that is known of his past is that he studied at the college, top of his class, then dissapeared for at least a decade to study and learn of the world. When he returned, he taught for one year before the court recognized his talents and promoted him to consort and advisor to his Highness. The leaders of the court detested Ranald's arrogance and stature, so he was quickly stripped of his title and power. He is no friend to politics, but every so often he is sought out for his diligence in the art of the mind and mystics.

(Kind of stumbled through that one, forgive me.)

Rion's eye begins to twitch as he opens them from his meditation session. The Winter Court's training dojo was bussling with commotion from training by other members of the court and area. Standing up from his seated position, he picks up his Rapier and sheaths it behind him. Heading over to one of the training dummies, he tightens the straps of his gauntlets. Lifting his right fist up to his chest and lowering his left to his waist, both bent at the elbow. His stance self-taught during training, though he is always open to incorporate more.

Rion: I guess i'll train my hand-to-hand combat, and then my rapier skills. My werewolf form will have to wait for later.

He grins as he begins punching the wooden dummy repeatedly, bobbing and weaving around it. As he circles it, he repeatedly punches every accessable point on it. Jumping back he charges his fist before sending a flurry of punches with both hands. Taking a few steps back he draws his rapier and practices his thrusts and parries, before sending a flurry of thrusts at the dummy...shattering it.

Crossing the rapier disgonally across his chest, he bows and sheaths it. Looking back he notices the others were watching him, talking amongst themselves. Rion meerly closed his eyes and grinned before walking out of the Dojo to his sleeping quarters. Opening the door, he closes it behind him. Stretching he stares out the window. His eyes having a yellow glow, as he chuckles contently.

Rion: Soon, very soon my friend. You will get your training in, but now is not the time. I still have to catch some stamina back, lest you will not get to keep your form for long.

Miya walked along the gardens of the summer court in a pleasant daze. Stopping here and there to gather important herbs for medicine making, she found herself humming to herself peacefully. A month or so ago there had been a horrible illness break out across the kingdom, but with many sleepless nights she had managed to create a viable cure. She was glad it was over.

Looking up at a tall flowering tree, she noticed some pretty purple blooms far out of reach. Exhaling softly, she released a stream of yellow,glittery wind which gently dislodged the flowers. Catching them easily as they floated slowly to the ground, she took a moment to sniff it.

She continued on her path, unaware that any travesity had befallen her court.
