A war raged across the land. Humans fought over trivial things like resources and land, yet the driving force of greed was thick in their minds. Those in power simply wanted more, while those without simply wanted to keep what they had, to live out their meager lives in peace. Wars were waged between those with opposing ideals, sometimes such as simply defending their homeland against invaders who wish to claim it for themselves. Wars fought require weapons, not all were of steel...

King Altrus was well known as a ruthless tyrant who ruled by an iron fist with an army of a vast Empire. Poverty ran rampant in his domain, thus crime was high. His taxes were high and his guards were strict as they squandered every ounce of coin from their subjects, all to fuel the King's greed. He was hated by many, yet none could compare to his strength in battle, for he had a weapon that no one else had.

Magic.

Humans are not the only beings in the world. Many species of intelligent beings exist from Dragons to Faeries, yet most are unknown to man because most conceal themselves, or disguise themselves to blend in, for the violent and warlike nature of Humans is well known.

Magic is something that is common place among these races, especially Dragons, yet only the King is able to wield it. The reason is a secret to most besides his most trusted advisors, but an evil dragon made a pact with the human, offering a pair of relics to turn the tide in the war, to be able to guarantee the King's success in conquering the land. The Eye of Bahamut, and the Dragon's Tear was given to King Altrus, the Eye was worn by him at all times granting him vast magical power, and the Tear was to force a subordinate to obey the wearer of the Eye, while granting this person the powers of a Dragon as well. A slave for a master, so to speak.

With the sacred relics in hand, the King grew to power, still not deciding on a person to grant this power to, as he trusted no one. Still, he questioned the Dragon's motives, and understood it was simply land and resources the Dragon wanted as well. At least he hoped it was all he wanted.

The King was given a condition that the Tear must be used on someone, for the longer he goes without a subordinate, the weaker his powers become. On the verge of losing his powers completely, he began raiding villages on his borders to expand his territory as he searched for the one he could subdue...

Oooo I love it! I have a suggestion, as far as the chosen Tear holder or whatever. Maybe the person has like Dragon blood or some sort of connection to the king? Just so it isn't a random person.

Anyways, I think it's a great plot. Should we make the world sort of modern like a Final Fantasy game or medieval?

I was thinking that the tear actually grants power to the chosen one by transforming him into a dragon, or dragoniod being. This is what I had in mid for the whole "Cursed Blood" thing.

We can really just put this in a final fantasy setting if you want and have it just a separate story line in whatever world you want. We can have Moogles, airships, chocobos and the works if you like. Not sure if you wanted to go with something like the FF14 MMORPF, or something like FF6, FF7, FF8. We can even have the magic system be the same as well. I've always wanted to RP in the FF world.

OOO that would be awesome! Like a dragon while he wears the tear? Kind of like a whole curse thing? I think that would be fun to play around with!

By the final fantasy setting, I meant having swords and magic and such in city settings with cars and phones. Kind of like 7, 13 or even 15. We could definitely add moogles and such, I would not be against it at all :)

Also, what character would you like to be? Do we want to have a sort of romance element in as well with the whole "love versus honor" thing? I mean, I like the idea, especially with the dragon form part, I could see it turning into a sort of like beauty and the beast thing, but being a lot darker and the main focus not being on their relationship.

I could play the knight, maybe having a small Moogle Squire or something. The moogle could act as a sort of secret Messenger between the knight and his love. However, we need some sort of MacGuffin to help drive the plot. Maybe to rescue the knight from the king? To restore him to his Human form? The reunification of the two? Or maybe an effort to stop the king? Maybe the girl joins a resistance of some sort?

I expect us to have to play multiple characters in this. The whole modern/fantasy thing sounds good. There can be big cities with high schools, internet, cell phones, buses, etc but Magic is known of, yet is rare for people to use. We can have crystals power things maybe? Guns and swords could be the main weapons, airships and magitek armor would be used because of the rarity of magic users, like in FF6. The Imperial Guard could be the city's police force, etc.

Any ideas for a character sheet? I can start thinking of one for the knight, unless you want to play him. That's fine.

I agree. We could turn it into a multi-arch plot were the goal changes throughout to make it a bit more complex than just a single goal. Maybe a good idea for a couple of them would be to overthrow the king, and obviously break the curse on the knight. Maybe even crown a new king?

I also think it would be a good have a group of main characters as well. Just following the two would be monotonous. Maybe a couple of those extra characters could be the sort of resistance against the crown.

I actually had an idea last night about the plot when listening to music. It seems all of my good ideas come from music haha. Anyways, I was thinking that we could start off with a few main protagonists, four of five perhaps, being childhood friends before the war? Maybe these characters could have lived in a neighboring country that became overtaken by the Empire? Like you said in the plot, that could be the way the king finds the knight. Then maybe the rest of them just got separated in the chaos and grew apart? It might be an interesting element to play around with; all of those close friends teaming up to save the friend they thought was dead? What do you think?

Oh, and of course you are more than welcome to be the knight! You seem to have a good idea for him anyway :3. I'll take the girl, I thought of an interesting character for her.

Name: Drake Maverick
Age: 28
Race: Human\Dragon
Appearance:
Normal:
Image

Transformed:
Image

Personality:

Originally, Drake was a caring and thoughtful boy. Rarely getting into trouble and was praised by his parents for his behavior and achievements. He was a natural leader and had high moral values with a strong sense of ethics.

Currently, his personality has seemed to leave him, becoming a cold, heartless shell of a man who rarely showed emotion due to the King's control. He is quick to respond to orders and is decisive when issuing orders to his underlings. Inwardly, he hides his true feelings behind a stoic visage, secretly hating what he is doing and longs to be reunited with his friends.

Bio/History:

Drake lived in a small town just outside of the Empire's reach. Their borders began to inch closer and closer to the town as their control spread. Oblivious to politics and really any news outside of their small town, Drake only concerned himself with his daily routine: going to school, playing games, and socializing with his friends. He had a crush on one of his girl friends but never brought it up for fear of rejection, as any normal teenager would at the time. Since then, he kept his feelings a secret, until the fateful day that the Empire attacked and seized control.

Tanks rolled in and Magitek armor trudged down the streets. Buildings burned, became covered in ice and people were electrocuted. The King himself made an appearance in the chaos and the army stopped before a lone teenage boy who blocked the path with arms spread wide, a terrified girl behind him.

The King exited his armored vehicle and personally approached Drake, offering to spare his Town if he served him. He would become a tool of destruction and obey his every command, but his town, his friends and family would be spared and would be protected as long as he remained loyal. He hesitated, but against the wishes of his friend behind him, he agreed. and the King placed a glowing red pendant around his neck. The girl screamed as Drake writhed in pain, his body convulsing and changing. After a moment, he had changed into what could only be described as a Dragonic beast.

After a moment, Drake had recovered enough to stand, shakily at first, then stood by his master's side. He left with the King and the Army withdrew, leaving the shaken Town to rebuild and recover.

Drake was given a new armor to compliment his new form that struck fear into the enemy. Appointed as a General, he was given a simple Moogle Squire to do his bidding. He soon began to trust his squire and began conspiring with it to help retain any contact possible with his friends and family, while holding the facade that he had become a mindless puppet of the King. For King Altair had believed that the Dragon's Tear relic had made Drake become obedient, but it had no such power. The Dragon who bestowed upon the King these treasures neglected to inform him of the fact and thought it would be amusing to see what would happen. The Dragon decided to see how the King's little assumption played out.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name: Donta
Age: 80
Race: Moogle
Appearance:

Image

Personality:

Donta is usually a cheerful Moogle, able to speak the Human's language and is very knowledgeable with their customs. With high charisma, Donta is able to converse with nearly anyone in a pleasant manner and is very convincing when he needs someone to do something. He is often told by his master that he reminds him of the way he used to be, but it confused Donta because he never knew Drake before he was assigned as his Squire.

It took a year or so for Drake to start trusting the Moogle, and about the same time for Donta to get past Drake's odd appearance and apparent stoic personality. Once a trust bond was established, Drake had come clean about who he really was and his past, making Donta trust him even more. Because of his small stature, Donta was tasked with covertly bringing messages and whatnot out of the Capital city where he was stationed and bring them to his friends and family in his hometown, not far away.

Donta has never taken the train before, but having an Imperial Identification card, all Imperial modes of transport were free for him, along with any traveling expenses. Again, with his high Charisma, he was confident he could make the journey without issue.

Oh wow! I really like Drake :3 and the Moogle too lol I'm almost finished with my two (just have to finish drawing them), but I'll go ahead and post up their bios. Let me know what you think! I may or may not tweak them a bit after I post up their pictures, but this is about the gist of it.

Name: Leola Fray/Claudia Delacroix

Age: 27

Race: human

Appearance:
Image


Personality:

Leola was always a soft-spoken girl, only speaking when spoken too and being very hesitant to state opinions. The only exception to this was when she came to the defense of her friends; Leola became like her name suggested, a beast. She is often rash and stubborn, jumping into situations before thinking them through and refusing to listen to others when her mind has been made. She is kind and compassionate to a fault and will go to any lengths to protect the people important to her.

Bio/History:

Growing up, Leola lived in a small village with her parents, younger brother who often followed Leola and her friends around when they played. She had a couple of close friends; Drake and Zosimus who she was closest to despite being the youngest of the three. She was always a bit shy around Drake though, despite knowing him since childhood, and could never place the feeling correctly. The war seemed unimportant to the group, until the King’s army invades, lead none other than King Altair himself. In the panic, the Leola became hopelessly lost from her family that she had been in the market with, and ended up being found by Drake. He alone, protected her from the oncoming platoons. In that moment, the King took her friend away and turned him into a monster; never to been seen again. It was only after the soldiers left; as Leola stood watching the once familiar back of her friend disappear, that she went back to her home in hopes of finding her family. All that she found, however, we’re the burning remains of their home. She, as well as the other orphans from multiple destroyed villages, were taken away to an orphanage within the capital.

After spending a couple of years in the capital as an orphan, she was adopted by a noble older couple who changed her name to Claudia and escorted her to her new home in the upper district. There she learned all of the noble practices of a young lady; sewing, singing, all of the popular dances, and even archery. Eventual, she was reunited with Zosimus, who had also traveled to the capital as a solider to the crown. Despite her new love for her adoptive parents, Leola often thought of the fate of Drake and her family, and secretly held hopes for one day getting revenge against the Crown.


Name: Zosimus Cato

Age: 30

Race: human

Appearance: (Again, still in progress, hope to post shortly)

Personality:

Zosimus is strong willed, easy-going, as a particularly easy person to get along with. In the small group of friends that he had growing up, Zosimus was always seen as the “big brother” figure, become very serious and responsible at times and often chiding others for misdoings. Zosimus does not become over emotional often, keeping his friendly and open composure in all situations.

Bio/ history:

Zosimus lived in a large family with five siblings; two brothers and three sisters, all younger. As such, he matured at a young age, often taking the responsibility to look after his younger siblings and even close friends at times. Although he was always considered mature, he still had a childish streak in him, especially when he was with Drake. He would often tease the boy over his obvious crush towards one of their other friends, Leola, often finding it humorous how oblivious the two of them were. It was on the day the King’s army attacked that everything changed in his life. He learned after the fact that Drake was taken by the King. Soon after Leola left for the capital with other orphans of the war and Zosimus life became very dull from the loss of his two best friends. It took years for Zosimus rage towards the king, and loneliness from the disappearance of his friends, for him to decide to act. Packing up a small bag and biding his family goodbye, he left to join the Empire’s army forces. After he had graduated Valedictorian of his class, Zosimus was transferred to serve in the capital guard, where he was reunited with Leola.

That's so cool that you draw your own character pictures. I wish i could draw that well. I spend just as much time scouring the net for the right picture someone else drew.

Thank you! It's just a sketch really... My sister is a lot better than I am! Her ink work is beautiful :3

Anyways, I'll have Zosimus up maybe today or tomorrow, I'm having a bit of trouble getting his face right... I have a question though, where do we want to start the rp? Like in the present day or in a flashback?

I was thinking of starting it with a flashback. I didn't know you were going to have your characters move to the capital when I wrote my characters, so I have the moogle heading to the hometown on a train to try and find them. I might just start with him coming back after finding out that they were admitted into an orphanage in the city and go from there.

I think i may start the IC today as well.
