I been wanting to start an Fantasy rp and basically let me you the background of the rp

There is this continent called Dersia which made up four main countries The Ecclesia Empire, The Kingdom of Oster, The Dark Kingdom of Bellond, The Kingdom of Albion. There are more countries but these are basically the countries that infulences everything. To the east is the Holy Lands which has been invade by dark forces. The Holy Church of Dersia has called An Crusades to the Holy Lands of Khemri. Now influx of mercanaries and armies of several kingdoms have arrived in the holy lands.

History: Its has been hundred since the last great war ravaged over Dersia. The Ancient Heart of Doria, the legendary artifact that caused the Great War, was long gone. Placed into a hidden secert place by a Unnamed Wizard. Legends of the Ancient Heart of Doria came throughout the land after the Great War, but the slow passage of time caused many to forget the devastation once brought by the artifact. The memories of the dreadful powers hidden within the Ancient Heart, once responsible for deaths of Hunred of thousands, were beginning to fade. The Imperial Court of Ecclesia further discouraged the legends, determining the Ancient Heart to be the work of pure evil, and exiling all who would seek its knowledge. The land of Dersia stood in peace as the former combatants mended their wounds. However, history has a tendency to repeat itself. Without warning, a City near the border of the Holy Land was invaded by the merciless Orcs.its was suspected that Bellond was behind the attack. In response to this foul act, Oster Sent forces to the holy Lands. Ecclesia immediately followed, in the name of protecting this Holy Ground.

Basically this my idea you can be anything i really dont care. Im going to play as the Emperor and Imperial Prince of Ecclesia.

Elves
Thieves
Barbarians
Gnomes
Goblins
Dark Lords
Dragon Riders
Mages
Beastmen
Trolls
Dwarves
Humans
Warriors
Knights
just some to name
But Im going to need somebody to play the Leader of the evil force that invaded. And i figured probably all the good would join together and try to defeat the evil forces.

Im just giving examples

Warriors and Knights would fall into class not race

This is a character I'll have to make up a bio for as we go along, and get more of a feel for him.

I think he's just putting out some examples of types of characters.

I'd play as a third party, as I've got a whole people and culture and everything worked out that fits into PT, though I've never RPed it in II. I wouldn't call them barbarians per se, though the more established and "civilized" nations certainly would. Anyway, I'd play as a neutral party that sees an opportunity to capitalize off of the chaos that's about to go down.

Accepted yeah thats i feel you some people come to capitilze off that

Accepted yeah thats i feel you some people come to capitilze off that

I'm not copying yours directly, just going with the general feel you have posted. I'm going to put in my own unique flavors, you can bet on that, I just need the RP to start so I can do so via RP.

yeah i feel u

Mine charactx0r:

Character name: Narakai
Age: 37
Race: Human
Weight: 225 lbs.
Height: 6'1"
Evil/Good: Well, that's just too dependent on who you're asking! ;)
Place of origin: Somewhere in the Northern Highlands

Bio: Narakai is chieftain of the tribe of the Sparkling Fox, and one of the foremost warlords among his people, the Suendri. He has led his tribe in many wars and skirmishes with other tribes as well as outsiders with great skill and luck, and has kept his tribe quite prosperous in his time as chieftain. He is so widely known and respected that warbands from other tribes will flock to his banner when he is on the warpath, eager for a piece of the spoil to come. In recent days, Narakai has turned his eyes to the unrest in the Khemri and the opportunities for raiding and plundering it will undoubtedly provide.

(OOC: I'm making a big twist from fantasy conventions as usual, because Soviet Steam is a witch hunting group of late 1800s commies in their own fantasy world fighting magical enemy nations with advanced Science!, hope it's accepted)

Bio: It was the end... in the Badlands. Everything was going down, they could not stand much longer against the attack from the magical Kingdom of Yaga over their trenches despite their heavy fire support of gatling guns and artillery, and to make things worser, a three-headed dragon just came into the fray, while a Baba Yaga was personally leading the attack against them... all the bloodshed... it was nothing but a war for coal, and a continual dispute among them... The ends justified the means and Tokarev used many as cannon fodder because of the sheer necessity in that brutal war against those significant threats to Soviet Steam sovereignty and revolution, but this time the fodder was himself... their supplies were running over, Ivan shot his last bullet when he was about to be killed by witchcraft and roaring flames, his men fell one by one at his side and he drew his sword for a last, suicidal charge, because the true revolutionary never surrenders... then only blank came. As he wakes up in a foreign land, he struggles but now he can remember not a bit of what have happened, he was a man with a huge empty... no memories at all besides his foreign Russian speech, writing and reading skills, knowledge, a part of his combat skills and an unconscious fear and hatred of all that is magic and of all that is not human. Somebody might have teleported him there with a random teleport magic, but why? And that question is something he cannot remember well to even ask about.

Basically he is using some quite enhanced equipment, but which instead of relying on magic relies on steampunk Science! though it won't unbalance him at all, his prejudice for magic means he will stay clear from ever using magical items or equipment, while his "faith" still grafted into his subconscious in the form of pure skepticism means healing spells won't work for him. This way his combat experience and improved equipment is offset by some serious disadvantages. Plus a part of his skills was forgotten, but he can "remember" it during his way.

Accepted

Bump

I'll bite.... hoping this won't die though.

Character name: Maradar Samuels
Age: 26
Race: Human/ ''Dragon Rider''
Weight:160lbs
Height: 6' 3''
Evil/Good: Good

Maradar was born into a warrior family and from a young age wished to continue in his family's path. He attended school for several years before becoming a Knight in the army. He showed true skills and was trained as a dragon rider. He has flown in several combat missions and dozens of patrols. He is considered by his subordinates to be a hero and a ''master of his beast.''

Weapons & Armor
Maradar is a master of both bow and arrow and sword. He does not wear armor, carries a large oak bow and a massive steel sword.

Sharptail (his dragon)
Sharptail typically wears steel plating on his head, to protect from the fierce blows he delivers with his horn. His thick dragon hide protects him from most arrows launched from bows as well as everything but powerful magic. His attacks including ramming with his horned head, landing on an enemy, stomping with his feet, swinging his sharp, barbed tail or simply breathing fire.

Does this mean I'm going to have the Heart of Doria? If not I'm going to have to summon up a few buddies from my nation to provide some Arcane assistance.

you will basically get the heart then forces of good will have to stop you and aye do yall want to wait on more people or go on ahead and start and Orbath you are accepted

I think I'll have one, at first to assist in a magical status, and then after I get the heart, to serve as an advisor. Otherwise, lets get started.
Character name: Lerim
Age: 63
Race: Human
Weight: 156 pounds
Height: 5'10
Evil/Good: insane
Place of origin: Arcania, the legendary city of wizards.

Bio: Lerim is an old wizard, well versed in many legends, stories, and fables, for many of them turn out to be true.
Lerim's powers stem from the school of universal magic, that is, he's skilled in all forms, but not a master in any, being of approximatly standard skill.

Lerim has spent the last ten years, or so he says, trapped with The Great Devourer in The Place that is No Place, which most likely explains why the old wizard has gone completly mad, and is also no longer able to distinguish between good and evil. He serves Rithalas because he is under the misguided impression that Rithalas is his lord and master, and so far none have been able to sway him otherwise.

Alright cool

I'm for getting started too. If more people come along who are interested we can just work em into the story somehow.

Alright ill get started then i show have the IC up within the next 10 or 15 minutes if i can type fast enough

So... progress?

Regrettably my compy has crashed, borrowing another until mine gets fixed. I will not be on again until it gets fixed.

Nope, it's still going, but it could stand to pick up some pace.

Unless this has died, I do have net access some of the time now.
