Welcome to Gaia! ::

Life is rough in the Kingdom of Aaryin, one of the last civilized areas controlled by human kind. The war against the Orcs has not been going well, as one could guess, for Aaryin is the last defensive post against them. It will now not be long until the human race is wiped from the map. The war, which has reigned upon the land for many decades, is, without a doubt, going to come to a climatic finish in the not so distant future. How do we know this? It is because of a spy who returned to the Kingdom of Aaryin; a spy who was part of a caravon of ten. The news which he gave to the King were not words of comfort: a huge army of Orcs were comming from the lands of the West, an army with every intention of crushing their kingdom once and for all. According to the spy, they were only a month away from reaching them.

There was no longer order. Chaos filled the street of Aaryin. In desperate attempts to keep peace so that they could defend themselves (instead of being torn up from the inside), soldiers were ordered to police the streets. Families were kept in their homes; no more commerce could be made (with the very little that they had). The village was now a wasteland, a ghost town. Families that had homes had enough rations (given to them by the King) to survive. However, there were many who did not have houses who were either beggers or scum. They filled the streets... clogging the village with their filth. So that there would no longer be those that caused a strain on the citizens of Aaryon, the King ordered the "leftovers" to be executed.

It is now a fight to survive. These beggers are now hungrier than ever, for there is no food for them to eat and not only that, but they are being hunted down by the soldiers to keep order. They can only kill and steal to survive. As the days passed, it soon became quite obvious, that the thiefs would not survive. The soldiers, who were well fed and bred for war, easily hunted down the weak, tired and starving ruffians. Every day there was at least one executioning, where the villagers watched from their windows, yelling out cheers as the thieves were killed before their eyes.

However, one of the beggers was becomming quite a nuisance and had actually gathered up a few followers. The leader's name was Iagami Ringblade, a man with a powerful will that attracted those strong enough to follow him. Those too weak were killed. As his power grew, Iagami began to gain more land within the Kingdom, soon controlling an entire block in the South Western corner of the castle walls. Under his guidance, the few soldiers that had been stationed were either killed or forced to retreat forcing the King to send more of his men and one of the few wizards that he had left. Even though he needed to men to help defend against the marching Orc army, the thret within the castle walls was becomming too great.

With the dawn of horror in the distance, a small battle is being waged as the Orcs near the Kingdom. Is the enemy actually inside the walls instead of on the outside?

If you are a thief... how will you survive? Will you follow Iagama or will you become a victim to either him or the King's men? If you are a soldier... how will you keep the peace? What is the future of Aaryin? And what of the Orcs?

Gaia Name: mark of dragons
Name in Roleplay: Rinn Nocora
Affiliation: Followers of Iagami
History/Biography: Rinn joined when he was just a boy when he joined Iagami. Through time he has ranked his way up. The 15 year-old specializes in aerial missions. He had grown up running away from the soldiers and he would swing from window to window to escape. The child never met his parents, he was raised by a thief and learned the ways of them. And when his ‘master’ joined the thieves, Rinn did as well at the age of ten. He was quite handsome and rather famous among the younger female thieves, though he hates all of the. But there is a reason to this, but is much too long to be told. Now at the age of 15 he is at his strongest and fittest point in life. He doesn’t beg for food, he grew up being hungry and so he needs less food, same as for water, supplying more to the others.
