{General Information}

Over hundreds of generations, the human race has been slowly taking over the world. The many other different races and species were slowly dying off... Elves, Dwarves, Orcs, Halflings, Gnomes, etc. are now thought to be extinct. It is the same for mystical creatures such as Dragons, Demons, Celestrals, Centaurs, Giants, Griffins, and more. In fact, many of these magical creatures are extinct.
Dragons have been gone for years, as well as giants, and the celestral races had returned to their heavens. Centaurs and griffins are believed to be extinct, not one having been seen in the last decade. Demons are a rareity, but they are still around. They have been able to mask their appearances by looking human or turning into animals.

In this medieval world, humans are the most abundant and look down upon anything else as either pitiful, freaks, or dangerous. They fear what they don't understand and can't except. The two kingdoms of the world have both sent out armies to hunt down these other races and creatures plenty of times before, so they are more than willing to hunt down anything they may have missed.
Also to note, Magic is something that is shunned and many believe it to be forms of the Dark Arts, obviously used by Evil Wizards. People who are seen using magic are quickly contained and exicuted -- even if they were using their magic for the good of others.


Plotline?

Since this is a bandit role play, it obviously includes raids, theivery and battle. However, aside from all the chaos and fun, the main focus will be upon Lady White. She is the newest member of the group and still getting used to everything - however, her main reason for becoming a bandit was to escape the pressures of her life and family. She is the daughter of a Brior in a small village, the noblity of the village, and she was to be married to someone she feared. Not only that, but she worried about her best friend being killed because he wasn't human. Thus she left to save herself and hopefully him as well.
However, not long after she had gone missing, her father sent out some people to go find her and bring her back. The group of bandits had encountered a couple of them and of course forced them away. Now the group must decide whether or not they should keep Lady White with them. Should they protect her and keep her? Or should they hand her over to the people seeking her return?

Plot in short:
+ Lady White runs away from home, joins bandit group
+ People are sent out to find Lady White, offering reward
+ Bandit group must decide to either keep her or get rid of her

Other Plotlines:
Though the plotline above will be the general line to follow, the role play is very open to any other plots involving the other characters, premade or not. You may create characters who have some sort of relation to the main characters, be it good or bad, or someone they meet along their travels and gets them involved in something else.

World Map:



List of Places: Cities, Villages, etc.


Setting:

The setting of the story is set in the medieval times, or fedual era, whichever you prefere. Thus meaning, modern clothing, technology, weapons, etc. are not around. The landscape is mainly woodlands and grasslands; a few areas are tropical forests, dry deserts, and rocky mountains. There are two kingdoms in this world, one in the southeast and one in the northwest. There are a few cities, located closer to the kingdoms than anything else, all of them run by a Brior, or mayor. And there are numberous villages; they are all rather small and poor.

The starting point of the role play will begin in Nalos Village in the north east.

For the people who decide to play as their own characters, there are several places to put them. There are a few bandit groups, all made up of five members, that are spread out all over the world but usually all meet in one area. There are numberous villages and cities to live in, and you may play a noble - though I ask that if you do, you act like one during that time, or at least give good reason why your character does not. There may be guilds your character can belong to, whatever type of guild you want it can be. You can also be a traveling merchant or someone looking for a place to live, seeking a place where they belong.
So lets list off possibilties:

--> Bandits
--> Villagers
--> Citizens
--> Nobility/Royalty
--> Guild Member
--> Merchant
--> Traveler/Adventurer
--> And of course the plus stuff you may create.


Important Places:

Greenville = Lady White's home village

Silver Moon Caverns = Lycon Caves

Gen = Bandit City, where all the bandits meet

Malie Cime = Main city where Lord Cime lives, he owns the nearby villages

Guubur = Merchant city, where all the roads cross

Xous Neino = Drow Society, underground (drow=dark elves)

Quar = Slave City, owned by Lord Delicrox

Ryu Hane = Lizard folk swamplands

~Just copy and fill in the slots~
~PM baka-banashi to be accepted~

Gaianame: brocoli_apocolypse
Character Name: Lord Bane
Code Name: Black Shadow
Role: The Leader of the group
Race: human
Age: 26
Power/Special abilties: Fast, Powerful, Stealthy & a Weapons Master.
--- Bane is quick on his feet and strikes like a snake. He can maneuver himself into position to get a deadly blow on his enemy while avoiding their attacks. He does so in such a fasion, that it appears he can read their moves. Bane is also powerful enough to take down a large monster on his own and more than likely not get injured. He can do it so flawlessly, even if physical strength isn't his best quality; but even so, he is quite strong for a human. Bane is also a very sneaky guy, who seems to just fade away in the shadows; his steps seeming soundless; and presense masked until one feels his breath on their skin. He could be standing right behind you and you wouldn't even know it. And on another note, Bane is a weapons master. Anything in his grasp can be used as a lethal object; be it a spoon, tea cup, or halbred. He has learned the art of mastering all known weapons and weilding them skillfully.
Flaws: One of Bane's most self-destructive flaws is his over-confidence in his own abilities or the underestimation of his opponents'. Because of this, Bane rarely actually tries to defeat his enemies. Instead of finding the best way of defeating an opponent during battle, Bane chooses the quickest and least bothersome. In addition, Bane does not defend himself to the best of his abilities whilst being attacked because of his belief that he is stronger than everyone he fights. This tragic flaw could definitely be one of the many factors which could lead to his defeat or even death. This tragic flaw leads to yet another: the excitement of finding an opponent whom is equal or even better than himself. If Bane ever came in contact with an opponent who did fit this category, he would not try to defeat them, for, since he rarely comes in contact with such an enemy, he would want to enjoy it the longest he could. Because of his lust for an exciting battle, Bane would most definitely hold back his true power. This would allow his opponent to kill him easily if winning was his or her priority in the battle. In addition to these two major flaws, Bane's suspicious character is also another failure in his personality. Even though he is a beloved leader, he sometimes does go under question with his followers (one time almost causing a mutiny). Bane's final flaw is his inability to work with others. In fact, if he did not need followers (or if he wasn't a wanted man), Bane would have been a loner. If a mission did in fact require the presence of others, Bane would either assign someone else to lead that mission without himself involved or he would work as though he was alone, despite the others that were apart of the operation; this could become quite disastrous, especially if a certain strategy required the use of everyone's cooperation. This is because of his belief that his men would slow him down.
Weapons: Long sword, two sets of daggers, crossbow and dirk.
Personality type: Dark, quiet, reserved, badass type. He's very serious and harsh. He likes to get things done quickly and quietly. He's intelligent and patient. Very, very patient - at least when it comes to missions. He can also be very suspicious and oddly polite.
Fears: Bane has two fears: one is in those who have the ability to control magic (or in other words: wizards, witches or warlocks) because his superior skill in weaponry (which is his prize attribute) is no use against magic. The other is the loss of his men. Even though he likes to work alone, he has gotten used to having those who support him and his judgments. Also, because of the fact that he is a wanted man, it does comfort him that he does have his own "posse". In addition to this, he is afraid of others finding out about those two fears, which is another reason why he distances himself from his men during missions.
Appearance:

Short bio/How they joined the group: Lord Bane doesn't actually hold any noble blood, the title "Lord" is given to him by his bandit followers. His actual name is Erthil Io Bane, who was born into an average family in an average city... Bane was once a head assassin, however, working under the dark King Bezek, years ago. He wore many titles, some of which being "Slayer of Man", "Death's Shadow", "Master Assassin," and "The Unseen Blade". He was feared, admired, respected, and even worshiped. But his career soon found its end.
One night, King Bezek was found assassinated in his room. It was then that all the fingers pointed to Bane. Everyone knew he held no true loyalty to the king or kingdom, and they knew of no other who could get close enough to the king without anyone noticing. Now, Bane of course tried to investigate the matter and find out the truth, but at the time he had no evidence to defend himself and he was resorted to using his weapons. It was a blood stained night that was from then on marked on everyone's calender as "The Crimson Night of Sorrow".
Bane eventually fled the kingdom and island, making his way across the lands to find a new means of living. He is now a wanted criminal with a huge bounty on his head, and he has already dealt with several bounty hunters. After spending his time on the run while continuing his illegal activities, Bane finally came to the conclusion that he would have to form a group to protect himself (after almost getting caught and brought back to the kingdom which he had originally fled). While receiving physical security of having loyal followers in such a posse, he would also, with their help, be able to continue his law-breaking activities while at the same time, completing jobs which would have normally been impossible by himself.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Gaianame: Elf-Maide
Character Name: Talen
Code Name: Ice Queen
Role: Archer
Race: High Elf
Age: 240
Power/Special abilities: She is an Ice/water and air warlock she can do many things with her powers of ice and air including.
Flaws: She is weak to fire but knows how to counter attack any fire attacks, and any type of poison hurts her more than others.
Weapons: Two Elven Scimitars. They have a spell in them causing anyone else that tries to use them will be frozen to the hilt until there hands are frostbitten and giving them an eerie blue glint. On the hilts they have four sapphires circled around one large sapphire. She also has a bow that has two sapphires on each end that have the same effect as the sapphires on the scimitars.
Personality Type: She is usually very quiet and calculating but also knows how to have a good time. She doesn't get mad very easily and is usually calm if she is sad she gets very quiet and never talks about her feelings but if she gets hurt emotionally she'll turn her hurt into fury until she calms down enough to become sad and withdraw from the world for a few days until she knows how to handle the latest hurt.
Fears: Her memories and being hurt emotionally
Appearance:

Short Bio: Before all of the elven city's were destroyed she lived in one of the very large and prominent high elven city's but when she was five the city was attacked and destroyed. She only lived because her mother hid her under a trap door under her bedroom floor. She stayed there listening to the battle raging on above her with screams of pain and death. She even heard her mother scream from above when she was slaughtered. She doesn't know to this day who it was that destroyed her village but to her she doesn't want to stir up the past because the memories of that night are so clear it's as if she's still the five year old girl she was back then. Since that night she changed drastically for a while becoming cold and training so hard that a lot of elves in Forest Groove called her the ice queen. But even now that she's changed again she's still called that but mainly for the reason that she holds great skill over her powers to control ice, water and wind. Lord Bane came across her while she was training and upon meetng him Talen saw a way to avenge her village and make peace with herself if she found out who had killed them.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Gaianame:
Character Name: Whalen Nero
Code Name: Martial
Role: the monk (martial artist), destraction
Race: Lycon (werewolf)
Age: 55 - stopped aging at 23
Power/Special abilities: Super Strength, Transformation, & Minor regeneration healing.
--- He is much stronger than the average man and his flexiblity is just as good. He's strong enough to lift nice sized boulders and take on large beasts with his own hands, however he only uses the full extent of his strength when he needs to. Since he's a lycon, he is able to transform under the moonlight. It does not have to be a full moon for him to transform because he is beginning to master his were form, and he can also control his rage and bloodlust. Plus, in this form, he is 10 times stronger and faster than normal. And to add, while in his were form he is able to heal nearly any damage he's taken - unless its silver or holy, but only a little bit at a time. Now, in his human form, he still heals, but very slowly, only a little bit faster than a normal human would.
Flaws: ((At least Three, no less.))
Weapons:
Personality type: Loud, cocky, fun loving type. He enjoys joking around, having a good drink - often getting drunk while in villages, and a nice brawl. He's not nesseccarily the brightest of the group and rather hot headed. He tends to rush into things and is eager to go places. Not only that, but he's also a pervert and pretty superstitious. But he is as loyal as a dog.
Fears: ((At least two))
Appearance: ((Changeable))

Short bio/How they joined the group: Nero, the name he is called by his friends, Whalen being the name he is called by his stubborn family, was out on his own one day looking for something to do. He came across a camp of humans and decided to join them. They weren't interested in his company and things started to get heated. Nero decided to have some fun with them, terrorizing them. Transforming, he killed a few of them and knocked some unconscious. He let a couple go free to let others know of his power and presense, all to feel important... However, a week or so later, a band of elite soliders and hunters snuck into his cavern home and slaughtered many of his type. A savage battle raged until the lycons killed the last of them. It was then that all attention turned to him. He had been the cause of the mess and murder. In reaction, the pack leaders kicked him out to fend for himself. Nero was hurt, but seemed to go along with it without a care, now able to enjoy his life without boundries.
((Tell how/how he joined the group))
((If you're going to change the bio, try to stay with the general idea))

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Gaianame: The Writer Under a Tree
Character Name: Orimash Cree
Code Name: Razors
Role: scout, spy
Race: cat-demon (leopard)
Age: unknown, appears 19
Power/Special abilities: Very quick, steathy, has cat-like abilities, transformation & telepathy.
--- He is very fast and quick on his feet. He could be clear across an open field and be on you in a matter of seconds. He can dodge nearly anything, move his body to avoid hits and position himself in just the right spot for an opening. And because he is part cat, he acts similar to one. Even in his human form he can climb or jump up trees or rocks with ease, pounce on someone ten or twenty feet away, hunt and hide just as well, always land on his feet, and shread someone to peices. Thanks to his demon blood, he can transform into a leopard as well. He gets a little stronger and faster in his feline form, to the normal strength of the animal, and can use his senses more effectively. Not only that, but he can communicate with other animals too. However, while in his leopard form he cannot speak with humanoids, thus he communicates telepathically with them. He can only do so in his feline form and only to one person at a time.
Flaws: Cree has cat like hearing when in leopard form but sometimes he hears things that get in the way of what he is looking for.
Cree is too soft. Killing after they give you information is wrong. You lie to them and then kill them. He understands that this is what a bandit does but sometimes he just doesn't understand it.
Not many people trust him so sometimes he needs to be supervised which he gets very annoyed by. They think he is weak because of how he feels about killing. Being a bandit isn't about assassinations it is about thieving. The leader mustn't understand that. Sometimes he is lazy as a way to try and not have to do an assassination. Though it normally never works.
He hasn't mastered telepathy and sometimes if he wishes to tell someone something it might go to the wrong person.
Weapons: He uses hand-to-hand combat and has two small dirks.
Personality type: Calm, polite, gentle, caring type. He's very sweet and loving. He's pretty smart when it comes to the wilderness and animals, but not so much in humanoid civilizations. He's the nice guy of the group, but even with his ability to sense danger, he can get into trouble because of it. He also has a curious side and lazy side.
Fears: He is frightened of dogs. It is one of his cat flaws. Anything dog frightens him and sometimes he may even attack them.
He is scared of his leader. He is so strong and tough and popular... Everything Cree isn't. He fears Bane, his voice, his appearance, it scares Cree.
Cree also is scared of Sahzora finding out about his crush. They are great friends but this is one secret he wants to keep. He is scared that maybe Bane might hear and get angry at him for what ever reason.
Appearance:

Short bio/How they joined the group: The demon societies are much like those of the animal world, each slightly different with each different group type. Cree grew up in a leopard society, so once he was old enough he went off on his own just like everyone else. He traveled for a great distance and managed to keep a large chunk of territory for himself, fighting to protect it every now and then... Over the years, though, humans have been making their way towards his territory and began burning the forests for more farmlands. Over time, his home got smaller and smaller until it got to the point he got trapped in a corner at the base of the mountains. It was then that he decided to defend the rest of his territory against anything that approached the best he could and hope to regain what he lost. It was during that desperate time when he met Lord Bane.
After meeting up with Bane it took him much thinking to decide what he would do. After much thought he joined hoping he would make money and get food, water, and shelter. Cree soon learned of his ability to assassinate. He did it though he never enjoyed it. Soon, a girl known as Sahzora joined. He wants to let her stay. If she doesn’t want to get married to someone she doesn’t love she shouldn’t have to. He hopes she is allowed to stay when the time comes.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Gaianame: immortalalia
Character Name: Priestess Sahzora Aisui
Code Name: Lady White
Role: healer, protector
Race: human
Age: 17
Power/Special abilities: Sacred Powers - healing, creating barriers/shields, creating orbs of light, & enchanting weapons with sacred power.
--- With her sacred powers, she can heal peoples wounds within a matter of minutes, however it takes a lot of concentration and energy, especially for serious wounds. She can create barriers or shields around her or her friends, but she has to be within ten feet of them and her barrier can only last for so long. The barrier has a ten foot radius and takes up a great deal of energy. A shield protects only from one direction, but it can be used on multiple people within ten feet; however it takes a great deal of concentration. She can create orbs of light to see in the dark, blind someone with, or blast someone with. The orbs arn't very powerful when using them in combat, but they can be used as distractions. And in order to enchant a weapon, she has to chant out a spell that encumbers the object for a certain amount of time with sacred energy. The weapon has to be in her hands for her to enchant the object successfully.
Flaws: She doesn't like getting close to most people; doesn't like the dark; a little stuck up; and hates being bossed around.
Weapons: A Short Sword
Personality Type: Soft, daring, observant type. She is kind and helpful, but sometimes rather stubborn. She is understanding and quick to catch on. She loves adventure and stories. She has a strong will and focus, but saying what she thinks isn't always a good thing. She hates being looked down upon and will go out of her way to prove otherwise.
Fears: Dying, being let down or back stabbed, and snakes.
Appearance:

Short Bio/ How they joined the group: Sahzora, or simply Zora, was born into a wealthy family located in Greenville and held a noble standing there. She is the daughter of the Brior in that area and a high class priestess... Ever since she was young, she had a strong heart and soul for freedom, however she was never able to leave the village. That changed one evening, when she saw something fall from the sky. Sneaking out, she went in the forest to find what it was that fell. After a while's walk and worry - more for herself at that time, she found a wounded creature next to a pool of water. At the time, she had no idea what it was, nor did she really care. Zora unconsciously started to treat the creature.
The creature, which happened to be a griffin, hid in a small cave near by and everyday Zora would sneak out to bring it food and fresh bandages. It didn't take long before someone noticed her constant disappearances. A group of common soldiers went after her, finding her with the beast. They instantly pulled her away and attacked the griffin, forcing it to flee. Zora didn't see him for years, until she was twelve when she was set out to marry. On her journey, her carriage was attacked by a group of thugs. It was at that time, that the griffin reappeared and protected her. From then after, her father allowed the griffin to stay with them and act as her guardian.
Higure, the name of the griffin, became her best friend and stayed with her until more recent years. When Zora first turned fifteen, the man she were to marry arrived in her village. That night, he had attempted to rape her, but Higure overheard the struggle and interveined. Higure had attacked him and in the end that turned Zora's entire family and village, along with the man's village, against him. Higure was ordered to leave and never come back, or be killed. It wasn't long after that, that Zora decided to leave as well. She feared marrying the man who tried to rape her, and feared that Higure would come back to see her at some point in time.
She joined the group because she had heard that being a bandit would help her hide from her home and she wanted to explore. How she met them was when they were about to kill some one and she stoped them. Then after that she asked if she could come with them.
