Fantasia

Background


Fantasia is a castle city renowned for it's aesthetic beauty. Yet even the most beautiful city in the region is not free of political intrigue. It's King, Edel the White, is a mere puppet of a much more powerful organization named "Final".

Final had been in power for almost a decade, controlling all aspects of the city. Be it in the areas of finance and foreign affairs, or in the areas of city development and cleanliness. That said, they are a crime syndicate after all. Crimes do occur but these are usually swept under the carpet to maintain the pristine facade that the syndicate had painstakingly created. To be fair, Final has done a commendable job at maintaining the city thus far.

King Edel was helpless throughout this time. He had all the rights, but he had no say. Useless, but well fed. That is, until he coincidentally comes into contact with the mercenary group named Genesis.

Genesis is a well known mercenary group that works for anyone who could pay. An idealistic group; Genesis believes strongly in upholding moral integrity at the cost of life. Their feud with Final stems from the firm belief of the association of Final with crime (and stereotypically, evil). They approached King Edel with the promise of a successful revolt that would help the King regain his political powers. Whether or not they succeed is another matter.

How Things Roll

Players may choose between the side of the mercenary group or the crime syndicate. There is little difference between the two, aside from the ideology and control of the city.

Characters for this role play is not restricted in any way. I'd greatly appreciate if it were kept to the medieval age, but I won't mind guns.... I probably won't mind cyborgs from the future either.. >.>

Magic exists in this setting, and is in fact part and parcel of every citizen's life. Magic is split into two types: combative and basic. Combative should be self-explanatory. This is the type that many role players would go after, I'm guessing.

Basic magic is like a harmless version of combative magic. Almost every citizen is provided an extremely basic level of magical skills. For example, starting a simple fire, collecting water from the surrounding air to drink... Basically anything survival related and that is not able to seriously harm anyone.

Feel free to go creative on character design. Of course, the usual rules still apply (no God-modding, meta-gaming... etc).

Rank

You can choose any position in either the mercenary group or the crime syndicate.

Both factions do not have any specific names for their rank and file. They merely call their members by "rank number". Zero is the most powerful, reserved for the bosses... And unfortunately not available to players.

Possible ranks for players start from 1 to 10. Each of the ranks have a corresponding number of possible places. This means that only one person can be a Rank 1, and two people could be Rank 2, and three people could be Rank 3... etc. These ranks are ordered by combat strength, with 1 being the most powerful. However, this does not mean that 10 is the weakest in the organization.

There are still Rank 11 to 15, and the number of possible places for those are unlimited. Feel free to choose any of the ranks. To be fair, this position taking would go by a first-come-first-served basis. Though, it might also be interesting to note that these positions are "earned", meaning that anyone can challenge the person for his Rank.

IE. Rank 2 challenges Rank 1 for his position. Rank 2 wins, and is promoted to Rank 1. Rank 1 is demoted to Rank 2.

It's almost an exchange of position should the challenge succeed. There is no real loss for losing a challenge... Aside from a blow to a person's pride, I suppose.

----------------------

Name
Main Droite (MD for short)

Age
Undisclosed. Likely in late 20s.

Race
Human

Gender
Male

Faction
Genesis

Rank
1

Abilities
"Right Path"

MD's right arm may seem like a normal human arm, but it is gifted with supernatural endurance, strength and agility. On top of that, while the arm negates all magic from an external source, it is highly compatible with any enchantments that MD choose to cast upon himself. While the arm is capable of negating magic, it is not impervious to physical blows.

Should MD deem it necessary, he can draw blood from his arm by making a small cut wound around his wrist. The blood serves as a magical enhancement tool that he may further use to unleash his strongest spell, "Right Path". This spell bestows an uncanny foresight upon MD, allowing him to predict his opponent's move without fail. However, during the duration of this spell, his right arm loses it's supernatural traits and is further weakened by the loss of blood.

MD's personal training regime has allowed him to last a full minute with the spell. Any longer would induce greater weakness due to the profuse loss of blood. Once he concludes the spell, the wound seals itself.

"Offensive Magic Level 2"

MD attended Fantasia's University of Magic for some time before he dropped out to join Genesis. During his time as a student of magic, he picked up offensive magic up to level 2, and is capable of casting medium level offensive and enchantment spells. His most commonly used spells are:

-Fireballs
-Fire-element Enchantment
-Wind-element Enchantment

The element enchantments grants him an affinity for the specific element, and also allows his weapon to release an arc of energy at his enemies.

Weapons
(as pictured)

Lefty

MD thought to his amusement that the irony would be interesting and thus named his weapon as such. Lefty is a 0.9m long sword made of Fantasian Ore - known, currently, to be the best ore to use in making a sword. It is not only light and durable, but it also has a strong affinity for magic. Aside from that, it's nothing out of the ordinary. Lefty is about 10 years old and is treated like a living object by MD.

Personality
Common first impressions include the notion that he is an anti-social personality who broods very single second of his life. That is completely far off from reality. MD is good-natured and fairly amiable when necessary. However, he is a terrible public speaker and appears to have a mortal fear of public speaking.

His achieved position as Rank 1 in a famous organization developed in him a high self-esteem. This may come off as cocky to some but he is quick to clarify that should he observe any negative feelings towards him.

Appearance


Brief History
MD was born in Fantasia to parents who were both senior Castle Mages. Their strong affinity with magic caused him to take interest in magic and pursue that path later on in his life. This interest was further increased by the realization that his right arm is far from normal. His life went on without incident until he reached university. In his second year, he was personally sought out by Genesis' very own leader, Lisette.

Convinced by the latter's charm and magical strength, he decided to join the mercenary group against the wishes of his parents. In doing so, he abandoned his past identity and took on a new one as Main Droite. Within Genesis, he started out slow, participating in small missions until he was confident enough to try the harder ones.

Slowly, his confidence grew with his self-developed fighting style. He decided to contest for the rank positions in Genesis. His first attempt was an utter defeat. However, that pushed him to try even harder to improve his own fighting style. It is around this period that he developed "Right Path", and with that, he easily climbed the ranks.

In a matter of a week, he defeated all the Ranked members from 10 to 1 and rightfully laid claim to the top position. He has since held on to the position without contest for a few years.

At the present time, he has reached the Mercenary Guild of Fantasia where he prepares to start his mission.

The Scarlet Duo
Final's Trump Card

Name
Mary "The Red"

Age
29

Race
Human

Gender
Female

Faction
Final

Rank
1

Abilities
Bloodshed

Mary gains physical strength enhancement in the presence of blood - be it hers or others. Consequently, this leads to impressive boosts to movement speed and attack speeds. Mary also develops heightened resistance to magic in the presence of blood but will not be able to use magic at all.

Swordsmanship

Born of a line of remarkable swordsmen, Mary was raised with high expectations and from a tender age. Fortunately for the girl, she inherited the talent for swordplay and easily mastered the art. Combined with "Bloodshed", her non-magical fighting style is still able to put her one class above even the better skilled magic users.

Weapons
Ordinary Broadsword

Nothing unusual about her weapon. It's just an ordinary sword provided for free by Final. Made of steel. Durable. Decent.

Personality
Nothing concrete is established about Mary's personality, aside from the oft-heard rumors of her sadistic tendencies and her lack of compassion. Even worse, these rumors often describe her as a curious person who was trying to find out if people were the same inside. In a word, these rumors paint her out to be a psychopath.

=========

Name
Darius "The Lackey"

Age
46

Race
Human

Gender
Male

Faction
Final

Rank
2

Abilities
Offensive Magic Master

Darius attended the Fantasian University of Magic and earned his Master's Degree, certifying him as a skilled user of high level offensive magic. While he is able to follow through with the textbook-recorded spells like a high level fireball, he is also able to innovate his own spells to suit the situation.

Most of these self-created spells are offensive enchantment spells, and he often uses it to help his allies.

Swordsmanship

Somewhere further up in Mary's family tree, the family split up due to some unrecorded dispute that resulted in internal strife initiated by Darius' side of the family. In a vengeful retaliation, the former side crushed the latter and forced subsequent descendants of that branch of the family to become servants of the former side. It was only when Final seized control of Fantasia that the situation changed for both sides as they became direct servants under the organization.

Nevertheless, as Darius essentially came from the same family as Mary did, he was naturally skilled with the art of swordsmanship. While not on the same level of Mary, he makes up for that with his expertise in magic spells and has since proven himself to be a worthy Rank 2 of Final.

Weapons
Ordinary Broadsword

Copy and paste Mary's weapon description here.

Personality
Mute. That's what anyone would believe Darius to be should they meet him in person. Greeting him only earns acknowledgment in the form of a nod. And he would never speak to anyone unless strictly necessary. Or when preparing for battle.
