Those involved or read may remember a fantasy RP a while ago titled To Enter The Abyss (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=309967).

Well after buggering around with other RPs and the sort, I've decided it's time to spew out a sequel. Already involved are myself and Tarlachia plus any of those in the original that may wish to return so there are a limited amount of places.

I will decide who joins based on RP experience and general name around the place. I don't mind if you are new to NS as long as you are familiar to RPing.

Essentially, the first RP was about this god of chaos attempting to enter the world through the nation of Khadrim. The ritual required to release this god was prevented fortunately and so the people of Khadrim were safe once again.

Fifty years later, shit is stirring once again. This time it's bigger and badder than ever. :rolleyes:

Yep, this one's gonna start soon. I'll put up my two characters' bio soon.

I assume that this involves magic correct?

Yes, read the first thread to get the idea of how things can/will be done.

I'd like to put some characters into this. I will post them once I have some idea of the kind I need.

Would a Half-Demon be acceptable, if so I will post character information.

would an angelic being be alright? well, basically an elf with wings lol. Not some all mighty divine being.

Both kind of characters would be fine as long as they're pretty evenly balanced. I want characters with real weaknesses, that can be hurt badly and the sort.

This RP is not your standard fantasy everything turns out happy in the end kind of thing. Khadrim is going to go through some hard times and so are the charactes. They are combatting the forces of a god afterall.

Characters can range from magic users to skilled warriors, although some sort of magical competence would be better for your character to deal with situations in the RP.

The RP will focus around my four main characters, Ryath, Thor, Bifrost and Izual. They are all magic users to and the respective leaders of the four races of Khadrim. With the upcoming shit that will plague their nation, they are going to need help and so there are plenty of ways for characters to fit in.

Any questions you guys have, I'm happy to answer.

Here is a thread with some basic info about Khadrim, it's pretty old though and I do intend to update it relatively soon.

http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=310352

Now for the character profiles:

Name: Ryath (http://groups.msn.com/WeatheredImagination/assingtonspics.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=119)
Age: 3698
Species: Dragon (golden)
Height/Weight: 10m/1.2t (human form: 178cm/47kg)
Hair/Eyes: Jet black/Emerald green (human form)

Bio: Ryath is the oldest member of the council and easily the most powerful. Whilst being one of wisest dragons around in Khadrim, Ryath has a softer nature than most and occassionally this can effect her judgement and actions.

Her dragonic form is indeed an impressive sight yet not the most practical at times and so she uses her golden dragon abilities to keep a human form when necessary. Ryath has proven herself on many occassions to be a firm leader of the dragons and maintains diplomatic connections internally and internationally.

Name: Thor (http://groups.msn.com/WeatheredImagination/assingtonspics.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=121)
Age: 1400
Species: Human
Height/Weight: 180cm/75kg
Hair/Eyes: Snow white/Ice blue

Bio: Thor is perhaps the most mysterious of the council members. The human mage always wears a dark blue cloak that covers his entire body and face, not allowing anyone to see his true appearance.

He is known for being much more practical than Ryath and willing to do whatever is necessary to complete the task. This gives him the reputation of being a cold hearted man, yet that can be neither denied or confirmed. Despite all this, Thor has proven to be a competent and valued leader of the human race within Khadrim.

Name: Izual (http://groups.msn.com/WeatheredImagination/assingtonspics.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=122)
Age: 1948
Species: Elf
Height/Weight: 185cm/82kg
Hair/Eyes: Black/Brown

Bio: Whilst Izual's appearance isn't the most appealing to everyone, those that know him can see beyond such. The elf is a special kind of warrior known as a demon hunter. To combat the demons he has embraced many dark aspects of magic and so appears to be more sinister than he really is.

He is a competent magic user yet also prides himself in the use of his many blades during combat. Izual is a warrior but at heart is one of the kinder council members and more likely to listen before drawing his sword. Such characteristics have made him a well respected leader of the elves within Khadrim.

Name: Bifrost (http://groups.msn.com/WeatheredImagination/assingtonspics.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=115)
Age: 1600
Species: Dwarf
Height/Weight: 155cm/68kg
Hair/Eyes: Light grey/Brown

Bio: Like many of his kind, Bifrost is a fierce warrior with his sharp battle axe yet his mind is also equally sharp. The dwarves of Khadrim have limited magical talents but what they can do, they do it well. Bifrost has been responsible for many technical advances within the nation that combine technology and magic.

Occassionally loud and impatient, Bifrost appears to be a fool yet that's how he wishes most to see him. Never underestimate the abilities of the dwarves, especially their leader as you are not likely to get a second chance.

So far we have:

Tarlachia
Khiraebanaa
Mar-nu-Falmar
Theao
Euroslavia


and myself.

At most I'll allow two more.

Name: Raeven
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Species: human
Height/Weight: 6'0
Build: Slim
Hair/Eyes: Long Black hair/bright blue eyes, with a black circle around the pupil.
Bio: Raeven is a very quiet woman. She tends to keep to herself only. Her appearance is mysterious, wearing all black and a custom covering over her hair, which covered approximately half of her hair. She grew up in the slums of Arcadia, where she had to learn anything that she could to survive, including black magic at a very young age. She has grown up much faster than most people her age, seeing as she had to defend her family constantly from the gangs and the thugs that would try and rob her family of all of their money and posessions. At the age of 12, she killed her first opponent who had attempted to kill her mother. She felt remorse for it, but got over it a tad too quickly. Raeven doesn't express her emotions at all, though if she were to, consider yourself lucky to have seen it. She has problems cooperating with others, because she feels like she needs to be independent, and that she shouldn't rely on anyone for aid.

You're in Euro.

Here's my two characters:

<<[Memory of Tokram successfully recorded>>:
The young child, entombed in fire-like crystals, awakened by a gigantic quake in the earth. Suddenly, the shards of crystals shattered, as the body slumped to the ground, a human like child, with draconian features.

The memories continued, this time several years in the future. The young child gazing upon the ancient book of Draconian lineage, his eyes widening upon the discovery of his own name etched into the pages, the last of his bloodline. The child's hands turned several more pages aside, and stopped when a picture depicting the six relics necessary for Draconians to morph into fully fledged dragons, full of strength and raw power. The child looks up, and looks around the cave, his eyes resting on an oddly colored patch of the wall, only visible to the truly observant. Walking over to it, he begins to tear at the hard packed dirt and stone. Finally his fingers scrape a mysterious stone case, and he slowly begins to extract it. Setting the case down, his fingers trace the dragon symbol on the cover, before slowly opening the case. Inside lies a beautifully crafted sword, a sword with a Dragon to cover the hilt, flames emitting from the mouth, forming the beautiful blade.

He stands, holding the sword carefully in his hand, as a design on the wall illuminates with the magic of the lineage. A voice whispers from the wall, its melodic tone soothing Tokram's tension: "Tokram...you are the last...you must continue the line...seek the relics...seek your destiny."

Time passes yet again. A man now, he battles the great guardians of the first relic, and defeats them, earning the right to possess the relic. His first step was completed. Now, to find the second relic...

Time continues to pass, as his mind floats through the difficult challenges that lay before his feet, and slowly but surely, he prevails.
<<End Recording>>:

Currently, Tokram is nearing completion of the last of the relics to unlock the full power of his ancestry, allowing him the ability to transform into a full-fledged dragon, and back to a human-like form as necessary.

"My name is Lumina Beam. I am of the Moonlighter Dragons, a race that has relocated to this planet from the moon Io, a satellite of the planet known as Jupiter. We were unprepared to encounter the harsh reactions many of us recieved. Now, few of us remain. I am one of them. We possess the power to harness the elements of all that is affected by the moons of the universe. Weather is but one of these examples..."

Lumina was captured by evil black-clad men in the nation of Khadrim, to be used as a sacrifice so they could summon their demon. However, Tokram and some others rescued her...

She now roams with Tokram across the Earth, seeking peace within herself and nurturing her relationships with Tokram and his allies.

So Khadrim, we gonna start this soon? all my other RPs are, sadly, slowly fizzling out due to others lack of interest. Humpf.

I'll get the thread up within the next few days.

Hurrah!

Well here it is:

To Enter The Abyss II: God of Chaos (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=9187402#post9187402)

Theao, perhaps a little more effort in your posts would be nice?

We do have a certain standard of RP in this thread and one to two line posts don't really cut it. Perhaps a little more character description and history could fill up some space?

Khadrim, I must say, fantastic first post. And theao, a little bit longer. As Khadrim said, throw in some history about something your character is doing at the moment; relate it to something from his past like I did with the fox-like creatures. It took up a lot of space, and it adds more depth, or, color, if you will, to the post itself, and to your reputation as a RPer.

Is my most recent post better?
Also is this still open, as I have a friend who is interested in fantasy/character threads.

Sorry for my delay in my intro. Some of you know why I was unable to post in the last few days.I should have it up soon.

That post is better Theao, thanks. :D

It is closed now, we're still waiting on a post from Mar-Nu-Falmar and Euroslavia anyway.

Alright, obviously this thing is dying. I don't want that to happen and I realise things have been a little dull but I've been real busy of late. I now have 2 weeks of holidays to devote time for posting more and developing the story.

If there isn't enough interest then I'll simply turn it into a story.

I'm interested to keep this going. If you do switch to story, then I'll be glad to join in. Currently though, my net at home is shitty.

Anyone else still around?

yep, just to busy to post. marching band consumes me.

Bah, forget about it for now. I'll just do it as a story, some time in the future.
