This is where the characters shall be listed. There are a few rules for this, and they are not optional.
Rules:
*Note*
If you do not think you can do something on this character sheet, PLEASE CONTACT ME. My goal is not to make something that scares you. And I am willing to help you through anything that you may need help with. I understand that something like this seems intimidating, especially with many of the things you are used to being banned or restricted. But it is for the good of the RP.
AGAIN, please contact me via PM, Skype, MSN, or Hotmail if you have any questions. Again my goal isnt to scare you, but to try to make this RP an equal playing field for all.
1. Everything needs to be filled out. Everything!
2. Please do your best to make your background story somewhat long. I dont expect something REALLY long, but maybe a few paragraphs that can explain things. Like why your character is afraid of snakes or why he/she loves watermelon.
3. People cant all be battle hardened warriors. So dont make your whole profile based around that. Otherwise you can expect to get a message asking that you redo it all.
4. Skills are something(s) that your character is good at. It can be climbing, chopping wood to fishing or arm wrestling. It can also mean how good you are with a sword but remember, unless your job is a solider or something, chances are you arent that good with a sword.
5. Add or subtract anything from the likes and dislikes. But please try to get atleast 3.
6. No, you cant have access to magic. The only way you can is if you are a priest or something from the church as such, and even then you have very limited use to what you can and can not do.
*Note*
If you are interested in knowing magic from the beginning, please inquire about it BEFORE you make your character profile. We will have a discussion about what you can and cant know, and depending on whether I feel I can trust you I MAY allow it.
*Note Note!*
If I ever say that you need to give me a profile before I talk to you about this. Please slap me and point to this.
7. Profiles are to be messaged to me. If a profile is posted without having gone through me, then it will be deleted no matter how well done it is.
8. Please do not base your whole background on thinking you will become the savior of the RP. The end has yet to be decided, and as such I dont want anyone to have that kind of background story. Especially your ladies. You cant all be The Lady of the Light.
9. When choosing a Race that was made by someone other then myself, you must contact them as well as myself so we can discuss whether they wish to allow you to be apart of their race.
*Note* Generally this shouldnt be a problem, but I felt like this rule needed to be put into effect anyway.
*These are subject to change. If your profile is already accepted when something is added, you dont need to change it unless you wish to or are asked to because it changes your character in some important way.
Accepted Races
This is a list of accepted races. This list will be few and select. Many of which will be completely made up from my own mind. And most of which will make it so people play humans as they are the dominate race in the continent where this whole RP will take place. Players are allowed to choose any of the races they wish however and are encouraged to make up their own race.
*Note*
To make up your own race, please inquire about what I require. Many things will go into this process as we will be trying to put something of your creation into something of mine. And while this RP will be somewhat flexible, please remember that any large changes to the continent of Tristia itself will have to be worked around.
Human -
Humans are the basic run of the mill race. While they have no supernatural powers or abilities, they are the most flexible of races. With hard work and a seemingly undying determination the human race endures all that is thrown at them. The human race has endured much and because of their ever enduring spirit it is why they have become as advanced as they are. Always learning, they can adapt very quickly to their situation and surroundings.
Lilipo -
Lilipos are a type of fish people. They are, of course, excellent seafarers and navigators. However, they are not very big in stature, standing at about four feet tall. That doesnt mean they are not surprisingly strong. When it comes to working around the docks and working on a ship, a Lilipo is always a welcomed addition to any crew.
They have a fish like face, lending to the uneasiness that some people experience when they are around a Lilipo for the first time. But, the kind hearted nature of the Lilipo qill quickly have most anyone quickly making friends with this slightly dim witted race. Because of their slower mental capabilities, Lilipo's are not the quickest on the up take. But, if they have a task that they are shown, then they will keep trying until they get it right.
Fi'Tsumo -
Fi'Tsumo are a very large and hearty race. Standing about a head taller then any human, making then about seven feet tall at their shortest. They are physically fitter then any other race, and their four arms help to make them the work horse behind any job that requires any physical type of labor.
While they are a very quite race, not really talking to many people outside of their own race. They are also a very religious race. Often being some of the more over zealous out of any race in all of Tristia. Being as tall as they are, also makes them some of the most noticeable of the races. Meaning that they make the lousiest of any thief.
Fith'Litas- Race by Cutiepower
A race thought to be extinct. they have a lifeline closely resembled to a human. But the few remaining have lived over an extra thousand years from living in crystal stasis. They are make excellent magic users, for they existed before the church and technology. They do not adapt quickly and aren't as flexible as humans.
They prefer to rely on channeling their magic rather than technology and the military, for they came before the time of technology. Most Fith'litas that are left are not very religious to the church either, not after their homes were destroyed. They don't have many enemies, and make friends very well.
Banned Races
These are the following Races that have been banned unless I otherwise give that person permission to use that race. This circumstance will usually only arise if they have proven themselves to be competent and willing to let said race be nerfed. Reasoning behind the races banning will follow each race listed.
*Note*
More may follow as they are brought to my attention. Hard as I try I cant seem to remember all of the races that should be banned.
Vampire/Hemophage -
VAMPIRES DO NOT SPARKLE! With that said, I am tired of the immortal vampire that is lonely, looks for someone to love, finds said love then nothing ever happens ever again because the vampire is so overpowered and cant die that the story just stops even though they are still posting. Vampires, are charismatic beings that are crafty and cunning. They dont rely on their enhanced strength or speed to get what they want, rather they talk their way to what they want. Unless threatened that is. Oh, and vampires do not have magical abilities! They are not spell casters, this is why they rely on their wits rather then their pre-existing abilities to gain their victories.
Werewolf/Lycan -
Werewolfs and Lycans, while they are two different classifications of the same thing (one having control of this ability the other being involuntary), is an overpowered mutt that is supposed to be blood thirsty and vicious. But, as I have seen about ninety percent of the people like to make the wolf forms cute and cuddly little puppies that couldnt harm a blade of grass let alone protect itself from anything such as its mortal enemy the Vampire. Most people I have seen have this controllable wolf form, which is one reason I have banned this race. The another being that its not technically a race, rather a disease that people suffer from. Finally, when people do have the uncontrollable wolf rage form, this form NEVER is seen. Making it almost a non-existent part of the RP.
Demon/Deamon/Fallen Angel/Hell Spawn/Devil -
These things are played out and tired. Most of all, its a reason for someone to always have the excuse for why their character has lived for all eternity and is all emo and sad. It also comes with the god complex that alot of people seem to like to have. When their characters back is to the wall, so to speak, they get a random burst of energy and transform into a new version of themselves. Well, I am getting rid of this problem now and saying none of these are allowed.
Angel/Archangel -
These holy beings are single minded at best. Always obeying Gods will, with rare exceptions. These beings are very powerful and very hard to kill. Many believe that the only way to kill an Angel is to decapitate the wings, which makes them mortal thus rendering them very susceptible to any form of death you wish to apply to them. Other then that, they are usually considered immortal and while they can sustain wounds, as most allow, they never die. That is the one big problem with that in this RP. People are going to die in this RP and thus, having someone be immortal and almost impossible to kill is just right out of the question. The other thing is that because most angels do not really think for themselves and obey Gods orders, there would be no point to having them in this RP.
Dragon/Dragonborn -
Dragons and Dragonbornes are two very different races with similar lineage, this being the fact that the Dragonborns are part dragon. Now dragons do not live forever but that doesnt make them any easier to kill. And while Im sure that people wouldnt have a full on dragon form, just having the part dragon form would be enough to tip the scale in their favor because they would then be a Dragonborn. And these are also very hearty people. Usually having dragon scales on their body protecting them, these harder then steel scales make them resistant to all but siege engine attacks. That gives them quite the unfair advantage.
Also, because there is so much added information for Dragons and their kin, there is alot of room for misconceptions and other things like that as well as adding your own twists to an already powerful Race.
Any Half breed -
Half breeds are quite the thrown around term in Gaia. While a half breed implicates a powerful being that has the benefits of both races with none of the negative effects. It is quite the opposite. While half breeds to get a dominate trait from their parents, they would get both negatives from both races. Making them much more susceptible to many different things. There is also the fact that people like to combine races that would not mate, such as demons and angels.
Demi God/Half God/God/Immortal -
LOOK AT THE NAME! Nuff said...

They allow me to attack my foes from a distance. With the help of my two fans, I am able to use a kind of magic, closely related to the church's magic; Holy Magic. Strengths and Weaknesses Strengths: When in the light, my powers will grow stronger, enabling me to channel my power more quickly and easily. Weaknesses: From the loss of a friend or a friend's happiness, may drain energy very fast. And when alone in the midst of darkness, I become paralyzed in fear. Likes and Dislikes Likes - 1. I do quite like animals, most of the time, they like to keep me company. 2. The wind, it clears my mind and helps me find my goal at the most crucial of times. 3. There are these, chokolats (chocolates). It's so sweet! My generation has hardly any sweet treats. Dislikes - 1. TeknoloJee (technology), I'm not quite sure what it is, and I'm not quite sure how to hone it's powers like people of this generation. 2. The thing known as military, it is for once easy to pronounce, but there are many people I don't quite like in there. 3. I can't stand eating meat and people eating meat, how could they do that to poor creatures! Background Story From many generations ago, lived a clan of featherfolk, known to this generation as Elvaan. They were prosperous and lived a wonderful life, but on the day of the 16th birthday of the 10th daughter of the kingdom's ruler, my birthday; was annihilated by an unknown dark force. houses burnt to the ground, my folk pleaded for mercy, but it never came... From my parents dying breath, they put me and my kin into crystal stasis, for our safety. There, I was frozen into crystal with my siblings, "You are destined for greatness, when the time comes, your power will awaken..." That was their last words to me. Anything else? When I awoke, a gold compass was bound around my neck. I don't know who's it is. But my instincts say it was from Mother and Father.

She has learned the skill of mixing herbs to make potions. Strengths and Weaknesses Strengths: An honest and trustworthy person who does her best to help people in need.

They are very colourful and smell really lovely. Sunflowers are especially a favourite of mine. 2. I love butterflies as well. I feel they carry a romantic sense as they flutter and flitter looking for the perfect flower to drink the nectar from. 3. The wide expanse of the blue sky is so wonderful. I just love looking up at the sky and wonder about the different places existing on Tristia. 4. I love the stars. Their twinkle is so ethereal and beautiful. There are so many stars with so many different colours. I often look for shooting stars to make a wish. Dislikes - 1. All bugs including spiders but not butterflies, enough said, they creep me out. 2. Closed spaces.

Her father is one of the soldiers of the military which makes her worry about him. Her mother died in an accident when she was four years old, so she is frequently alone at home. She now spends her time selling flowers to the townspeople. Anything else? My favourite thing to do is walking through a field of flowers with my mother's straw hat and looking up at the sky or down at the flowers.

Seraphina Jin
by Raxle Main Info Name: Seraphina Jin Nicknames :: Sera (pronounced as Sara *by close family and friends*), Jin (by the guys on the dock/crew *must be part of the crew or docking guys other wise, she will ignore you*) Race: Lilipo Age: 23 Sex: Female Orientation: Heterosexual Job: Fisherman..er..woman. Physical Descriptors (Replace with a picture if necessary) Eye color: Round gray eyes that are like two pieces of steel Hair Color: Silky, curly, black hair is worn in a style that reminds you of a wave of water Height: 5'2" Weight: !75lbs Body Description: High cheekbones with a small, defined chin. A small mouth that gives her a vaguely irritated look. Average build, and small to moderately endowed. Very pale skin, which is odd for the large amount of times she spends on the docks. Skills Strong Swimmer, she can swim quite the distance A good hunter (when it comes to fish) Strengths and Weaknesses Strengths: I Have Fins, Wanna See?Jin's a pretty good swimmer, and frankly, she just loves being in the water. If she did not have to work, she would be spending all her free time in the depths of the sea. Taking in the untouched world beneath the surface of the sky. DeterminationAs a female, Jin tends to work extra hard to get the job done. Though she may work hard, she tries to make everyone like her for who she is (no matter what species she comes across), as well VersatilityShe can easily adapt to the changes around the dock with different people and all that sorts. You can say that both this strength tunes well with her SAS. CommunicationShe loves talking when she's around her friends and family. She can go from the weather to what she really wants to do in her laugh, she can be a talker and she will talk your ear off. Weaknesses: Come again?Though she does not show it, Jin takes a lot of what people say to heart, and her usual response to stress, particularly from other people, is to work harder.Things that are obviously wild accusations or just malicious statements she can shrug off without too much trouble, but any plausible criticism will make her wriggle with at least a little doubt inside Short Attention Span (SAS)Jin, though she works a lot, has a short attention span, she's always hopping from one job to another for she becomes rather bored with doing the same routine over and over again. If she does not have something to occupy her mind, you might just find her going from job to job spending the time fetching things for others. InconsistentJin hates, and I mean hates being on land, and at times, she just has a hard time taming her emotions. She's like the ocean, at times calm and others...well..she can come off like a b***h in the storms that causes havoc among the lands. Likes and Dislikes Likes - 1. Fish 2. Water (any type of water) 3. Fruit 4. Working on the dock 5. Her family Dislikes - 1. Rude people 2. Being on the land for such a long period of time 3. Birds (became frightened by them from a nightmare she had, long story) 4. Warm/Windy days, she prefers moist/rainy days Background Story Jin lost her mother when her baby brother was born and she feels that he is to be the one to blame for, but never tells it to his face. She never looks, nor speaks, to the boy. And she tends to leave him to her other brothers. She takes after her father, a well known fisherman, and as the only daughter, it was odd to see her do the things that the men in the family tend to do. But it never stopped her from doing what she loved. True, she is the only daughter, and she hardly does the girl things within the family. It's almost as if both she and her twin brother switched bodies before they were born. Jin is a scattered brain, and that leads to her Short Attention Span, or as her family likes to call it her SAS, and that leads to her wanting to do something else. Weither it's swimming in the sea or helping other dockers, Jin will, well, be scattered about. At the age of fifteen, Jin was branded, that's right, branded. It was something that goes on within her family, and almost all of those who were/are fishermen, always got branded. It was tradition, and Jin refused to speak to her father for nearly a week. To her, she thought that it was stupid, as well as it being painful. Those who asked about it were either glared at or simply ignored. A painful memory is something that she will never bring up. Anything else? Hands are calloused from working on the docks. Runes etched into her shoulder blades, happened at a young age and really does not talk about it. (As stated above) Tends to say "I think", a pretty bad habit. Weapons Fishing spear and dagger Quotes "I hate sunny days"

Vivian McIssac played by ProperGamer Main Info Name: Vivian McIssac Nick Name: Emerald Maiden (This is the title she is known by across Tristia) Nick Name Two: Wild Flower (Only the other Tristia Maidens call her that when they make fun of her.) Race: Human Age: 19 Sex: Female Orientation: Bisexual Job: Milk Maid/Ranch Hand/Ko'locke Handler Physical Descriptors Eye color: Emerald Green Hair Color: Dark Brick Red Hair style: Usually wears it in a braided pony tail Height: six foot - one inch Weight: One Hundred Forty Three LBs Body Description: A slender frame with tone definition. Vivian's body is that of a hard working girl. Being a Ranch hand helping her father around with whatever needs doing helps her stay nicely petite while helping to keep her body strong and fit. While she isnt well endowed, being around only a B-Cup, her confidence in everything she does, as well as the vast sum of money, land and the business empire that he Father and Mother own helps keep her love life somewhat interesting. Skills Great with Animals Great at barter Good animal handler Good with a bow Decent at fixing things Strengths and Weaknesses Strengths: Working hard...Vivian is an excellent worker. When she puts her mind to a task she is given she will see it through. She has a dogged determination that is visible from the first time someone looks into her deep emerald eyes and it can sometimes be intimidating if someone isnt ready for what she brings to the table. Smart Business EthicsVivian comes from a small family that owns alot of land, material, livestock and other things. All of this has been acquired from her Father and Mothers good business ethics, hard work and smart choices in business. This type of business smarts had been passed down to Vivian from her parents, making her a very good person to have in your traveling party. Animal BreakerComing from a farm, Vivian is... Well good with animals. By that, it means that she knows how to break an animal, making it tame. This doesnt mean that she is nice to them all the time. But she knows how to tame animals given the right amount of time and effort. Weaknesses: Or hardly working?Vivian's extreme determination and hard work ethics is offset by a very strong procrastination habit. In her mind, if she can get away with not doing work, then why do it? She will usually never take the initative unless it is something that she wants to do or is ordered to do with little course of action to take. Things like her chores are usually left undone until the very last moment. Bad temperVivian has an extreme temper problem. Being a country girl and having Malsara heritage (Its like having an Irish temper) makes her a very big firecracker with a very short fuse at times. She knows when to hold her tongue, but more times then are countable has her father had to smooth things out with someone she has blown up at. Likes and Dislikes Likes - 1. Ko'Lockes 2. Kitties 3. Strawberries 4. Her home Dislikes - 1. Not getting the best deal possible 2. Over paying 3. Being forced to do something 4. Spending long amounts of time away from home 5. Fishes Background Story Vivian was born into one of the wealthiest families in the Malsara Plains, and most of Tristia for that matter. She has never been spoiled, after all growing up on a farm there isnt much time for being a pampered, prissy little girl like alot of the other wealthy girls were. And while, Vivian wasnt bothered by it for the early first years of her life. But as she began to mature and grow into a young woman, it began to bother her. When she started to see the stuff and how the other girls looked and were treated, she began to get more and more jealous. When she was about twelve, that was the year she got her nickname Wild Flower. When her family was hosting a bi-yearly party for some of the wealthier families and the people who live in the McIssac Ranch. Vivian was told to take the other girls and show them around the ranch. As Vivian started showing the other girls one of the large Ko'locke domes where the massive beasts start at night. The girls started to whisper and giggle behind Vivian's back. Thats when she heard one of the girls comment on the the dress that she was wearing. Needless to say, it was a very rude comment. Vivian's eyes narrowed, she turned around and without even thinking she threw a right hook at the first one who had said the comment. Since then, the other girls have always called her Wild Flower, a condescending nick name that refers to her Ranch life upbringing and her tom boy-ish life style and appearance. Since then, she has always been the black sheep of the Tristria Maidens. Though, that has not bothered her since she began living her own life how she wants to. As she grew more into a woman, her lack of work ethic and her procrastination grew as well. Though, as she came of age, more and more suitors have been brought forward all of which she has driven off with ease. Now, she spends the long cold summer days in the Malsara Plains usually lazily doing her chores that include going into Listria, riding out to service the massive Herbots that watch over the Ko'locke herds or just sitting at home avoiding doing her chores all together. Anything else? Theme song - Wildflower While Vivian is a very go getting kind of person, her temper and the way she carries herself with confidence, it is rare that other females will turely get along with her. This is because of the way that some men seem to be drawn to Vivan, the Emerald Maiden. This means that its hard for her to have any real friends. Emerald MaidenVivian is one of the Maidens of Tristia. A title given to the young women of each province of the Tristian territories. How the title is passed on varies from place to place, some are born into it and others are granted the title by way of a show or pageant, while still others are given the title for things they have done. Vivian's title however is given to her by blood right and by her looks. However, she is the first to besmirch the title by having a second one that the other Maidens call her by as well as being one of the least lady like out of them all. Quotes"Aw come y'all, this beast ain't that big..." "I'm a Maiden of Tristia, but that don't mean I can't kick your a**!"
