The Paths of Tragedy-RP Discussion Thread

I was out of action for a while...

Thanks:) I will create a character right away just let me read the previous posts so i don't have a random entrance:D
 
Okay, I suddenly got totally confused. Can anyone tell me what's going on? I know for a fact that I'm with Zeria and Samael. Just where are the others?
 
OOC: I want to be a bastard son of Lord Victor Rosencrant Lancaster if possible, so i can be evil, and it would allow more interaction. If not then i will change the bio later...sorry for the long history.:)

Name: Mikhail Lancaster

Allied to the Aldabran Empire

Age: 25

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Birth date: 29th of October 1502

Class: Assassin/Black Mage

Height/Weight: 1.88 meters, 82kg

Appearance: Mikhail as orange short hair, grey eyes and a well built body.

Clothes: He uses dark purple pants along with a dark purple shirt (like a japonese male uniform but purple) with a single golden button above the heart, he uses white gloves and long black boots, two ruby stones are set in both the shoulders of his shirt, from which a long white cape extends itself, two red stripes go from the coller of his shirt to it's sleeves. He uses a black belt around his waist, separating the pants from the shirt.

History:

A dark and obscure past surrounds Mikhail, rumoured to be the bastard son of Lord Victor, who was rumoured to cheat on his wife often, he grew up in a small country house raised by two of Lord Victors servants. He grew a peaceful life until one day when he was 8 years old a couple of armed men came, they were Lord Victors men and by order of their superior, they would terminate Mikhails live in fear that when he grew older he could become one of Lord Victors heir. The old couple who raised Mikhail as their own tried to oppose the armed men and as a result were hanged right in front of his eyes. A traumatized Mikhail cried as he witnessed the old couple hunged up with their eyes wide open. Mikhail was marked for death, but in an act of despair he grabbed a small hood axe and launched himself against the two men, possesed by fury and hatred he slaughtered both of them without mercy, some of the villagers who witnessed this attack compared Mikhail to the son of the devil from that day on...

Alone in the world, Mikhail grew more cold and evil every day, haunted by his half brother Cairn Valthere success and filled with hatred towards his father, he swore revenge on those two. He spent the next 5 years travelling alone, eventually he found his way to an ancient cave of mystery, rumour as it that an ancient magician who used to serve under the Silverwings lived there in solitude. Mikhail asked to be the magicians apprentice, but he was turned down as his motives for learning the arts of magic and war were dark. But Mikhail was not to be denied, taking advantage of the elder magician Vargas (that was his name) he waited for night time to slay him, but before he died Vargas gave Mikhail some words of advice, which was the following...

"All signs of humanity have vanished from your soul troubled boy, you can learn all of my secrets and you have the potential to become a great magician...but one thing that you do not have is a heart, and one day you will learn that no matter how much miserable our lives are...we as human beings can always make them worthy."

This words of wisdom would taunt Mikhail for the many years to come, yet they were not enough to change the evil ways of the young boy. For the next three years Mikhail learned many of Vargas magic from the "Book of Ellendil" One of the most powerful magicians of the past.

After turning 16 years old and having mastered the dark arts, Mikhail found his way to the mountain of Goldark, territory of an ancient tribe of assassins which had an alliance with Aldabran Empire. Using his magic influence and his own charm, he managed to be accepted in the tribe and learned the ways of the assassins. He was imideatly spotted by the generals of Aldabran and was taken to the presence of the Emperor, there he learned that his own half brother Cairn was responsible for stopping the advances of the Aldabran army. Once again furious by his half brothers accomplishments, Mikhail swore to the emperor that he had a plan to conquer the fortress guarded by Cairn. For one year he infiltrated his own brothers forces and using the dark hearts he felt the envy which lurked inside the heart and mind of one of Cairns captains, the name of the individual was Charles Masia, he worked his way up until he became a military advisor of the captain, for months he poisoned Masia's mind which led to the betrayal that would seal Cairn's faith.

After the fall of Cairn, Mikhail felt that revenge had finally been attained, he became a hero inside the Aldabrans forces and keeps working both in the front line but also in the shadows...Only faith can tell if one day the two half brothers will meet again, this time in battle.

Personality: His childhood as marked his soul. He enjoys to inflict pain and as adquired a cruel sense of humour. There is no mercy left in his heart and it is rumoured that he likes to kill his victims slowly in order to cause more pain.

Weapons: Besides his dark magic (which is his main weapon)...Mikhail uses a glove with a giant blade, since his arm is placed inside it serves not only to attack but also to defend, preventing the arm of being cut off by an enemy blade. The long blade is heavy but it can cut throught normal metal and pierce armours. He holds the blade in his left arm, which might confuse some of his opponents since most warriors carry their weapons on the right hand.

Melee attacks:

1st) Wind Slash: Focusing his energy on his right arm, Mikhail waves his blade unleashing a wave of cutting air, which can rip apart a person in a distance of about 30 feet. High reflexes are necessary to avoid this attack.

2nd) Blade Dance: Using his speed, Mikhail delivers multiple attacks with his blade in a few seconds, the velocity of the slashes is so great that it creates the ilusion of 100 blades striking at the same time. It's a short range attack meaning Mikhail must be near his opponent in order for the attack to work.

3rd) Spinning Death: Mikhail lifts is feet of the ground and starts rotating clockwise while extending his left arm with his blade, as a result he creates a mini tornado which slowly aproaches his opponent, and after contact his enemy is ripped to shreds as a result of coming into contact with his blade. The mini tornado as an extend of about 10 feet meaning that opponents who are further away won't suffer any damage.

Magic attacks:

1st)Spirit wave: Mikhail lifts his right arm to the air, when he opens his wand a wave of air is unleash which projects his enemies back. It's a basic magic attack so it does not cost much energy.

2nd) Soul of Fire: This attack takes about 3 seconds to prepare, a small orb of fire forms in the palm of Mikhails hand the orb quickly grows to about 20 cm in leght and Mikhail launches it against his opponents. It is also a basic magic attack, allowing it to be used multiple times without reducing the energy of the user.

3rd) Fog: Mikhail summons the clouds to descend to earth, as a result a fog his formed reducing the visibility of his opponents making them easy prey to an attack, high senses and good sense of orientation are essential.

4th) Confuse Mirror: It's an optical illusion, Mikhail creates multiple images of himself confusing his opponents, who do not know which is the real image, once again high senses are necessary to recognize the real Mikhail from the mirror images.

5th) Torture of Ellendil: A powerful attack used by the magicians of old to make they're opponents surrender. Dark bolts of light form arround the users hand and are launched against they're enemies. The bolts trap the poor souls in a prison of dark energy, delivering deadly charges to their bodies, the pain is so intense that most can only resist this attack for a short while. It's a powerful attack which slowly drains the user, although most people submit before the user drains himself.

6th) Chaotic Prison: This magic is forbidden as it can cost the users life, only a high level magician can control it. The user places both his hands together as if he was praying and focus his entire energy in both of his hands (this can take about 30 seconds), a bright orange light surrounds both hands, the user then points his hands forward in the direction of his opponent and yells "Chaos come fort". A gigantic wave of energy bursts forward destroying everything in it's path, the attack is very powerful but it takes a lot of energy to use it, reducing the stamina of the user.

7th) Air Dance: Allows Mikhail to float on the air, it's a good magic to avoid melee attacks although while on the air Mikhail moves slower and therefore is easily targeted by enemy fire.

8th): Mental shield: Mikhail extends his right hand wide open forming a barrier which resists for limited time to enemy attacks, especially physical ones. Simple and weak attacks simply bounce back, but strong or long attacks gradually reduces the power of the shield and at the same time Mikhails energy.

Other skills:

1st) Good at hand to hand combat, being trained by assassins Mikhail as learned different hand to hand moves including the following moves

2nd) Manipulation: Mikhail can influence weak minds to some extent, people with low spirits or who are depressed or sad are more easily manipulated.

3rd) General reflexes and movement: Being trained in the arts of the assassins Mikhail is considerably agile and fast.









 
Ohhh ok i will add those although manipulation won't be used on other Rpers it's more of an ability that i will use on NPCs, to justify the fact that Mikhail corrupted Charles to betray Cairn.

And yes Mikhail is Cairn half brother, although i'm not sure if Cairn knows of this since his father tried to silence Mikhail forever.

Perhaps if they meet in battle we can have a Star Wars moment with Mikhail saying "I did not kill your brother...i am your brother!!!":rolleyes:

I changed the range of the melee attacks, and explained the energy that the magic costs i did not add the cost of Confuse Mirror since it's an optical illusion. And fog, soul of fire and spirit wave are basic attacks, and since Mikhail is a mastered black mage i think he could use them without limitation. As for the more powerfull attacks i explained their cost to the user. Hope it's ok now.
 
Yeah sure ok i will make my first post, i just need to read what's before. Ohh and i will also be a badass villainXD

BTW do i get instructions from the leader of Aldebrans forces or do i just do as i please?
 
Quite the opposite; Jake is standing between you and the silver knight (Fayte). It just so happens that this new knight has come, so he's fighting him too.
 
Okay, I've just been reading the RP, And I'm completely lost. I knew during my last post, i was with Zeria and Samael. Now, as i continued looking, it looked as if I was completely ignored. I have no idea how I will be able to continue. I need to know, where should I continue?
 
If Im not wrong, did you now enter the "Silver Stallion" Inn?

if that is the case, just come out from there, and see the things that are happening ^^
 
Yeah, I replied to this, before I read the RP thread.

Sowwy ^^

Also, Arth
just as you know, I guess that your character don't know.
bu Cairn and Jonad is not at the Inn ^^
And Jonad is unconscious ^^
 
But Cairn is healed, and he should have plenty of adrenaline keeping him awake ^^

Jonad on the other hand. is out for some time ^^
