Through Archadies...
Story
There was only one who held the key. How to find him was the problem... The secrets of the world were laying in wait in Maeron, a deep woods at the eastern edge of the world. Those who ventured beyond the bright piller of light there would never be seen again.
Because none of them had the key. The key to the past, to the present, to the future.
On the western edge of the world, in Archadies, lay the pillar of darkness. A monolith that spanned the entire distance from the earth to the heavens.
All who are born are given the keys to their destinies, to their own futures. But only one is given the key of God himself.
Two parrallel spires of light and darkness purified lie in the world of Archadies, both opened with a single key... The key of God. Noone knows exactly what it looks like... Noone knows what it does, it doesn't even really have a known name but the ones given to it in myths. It could be any of the Legendary Keys...
Legendary Keys;
Holy Grail - Engraved with the image of a cup
Excalibur - Engraved with the image of a greatsword
Kusanagi - Engraved with the image of a Katana with a snake coiled around it.
Mjolnir - Engraved with the image of a Hammer surrounded by lightning
Amaterasu - Engraved with an image of the Sun
Yomi - No Engravings, as black as the pillar of darkness
Yin-Yang - Engraved with a Yin-Yang symbol
(It must be noted that there are less significant keys, these can be created by people who join later, they signify the ideal future of their character, the symbol is also created by the player of the character that owns it.
Example:
Someone without a legendary key can have a less significant key with an engraving of a strong arm, indicating a lust for strength or power, how the character tries to achieve this is the player's decision, and can include training to become a champion of his country, or even seeking all the legendary keyholders and killing them or even simply stealing the keys.)
TITLE PM'd CHARACTER PROFILES AS 'GOD GAMES'.
Rules
1. No God-moding.
2. Even though there is a 'God-key', it only has 'God' powers when the holder gets to the Pillar of Light or the Pillar of Darkness and after they get a PM, initiating them as 'God' Ending the first phase of the RP and revealing a background of the world.
3. When someone becomes God, this phase of the RP ends and the background of the world is given to all other players. Phase 2 will be a new world, with new characters, religions, and a new background, the state of which the 'God' of this chapter will help me make using his ideas of the world (corresponding with the 'God's' choice of Pillar) and a new set of rules.
4. Just because you have the God Key, it doesn't mean you are guaranteed the 'God' slot in the end. We have to make an interesting, in-depth story, after all. xP Any and all keys are succeptible to be stolen, taken if your character dies, given away, etc... Anything that can happen ('cept destruction) to a normal object, can happen to your (or any) key. What you do to keep your key safe is also your choice.
5. Fighting, romance, friendships, treachery... Everything is okay in this RP as long as what happens in this RP is PG13.
6. There is only one of each Legendary Key, unless a person with an identical twin gets a legendary key at the beginning, then the twin holds one identical to it, due to being identical at birth.
7. This phase of the RP is set at a minimum of 25 pages till the end. And this is only if the holder of the 'God' key meets with absolutely no resistance or problems on the journey to their desired pillar. This is meant to be a long-term RP, so those who cannot post a while can find another player of this RP after PMing me, giving their character temporarily to that player. So it is suggested you trust the person to RP well in general, as well as play your character well.

Approved Characters will be shown here. No worries, the key you hold will be secret, only between you and me, the thread creator. As a side note, never tell anyone what your key does, this makes it more tense, as it will create a more psychologically thrilling atmosphere.

Age:
Race: (For all Humans, this refers to real-world racial designation, in areas known around the middle-ages, like African, Caucasian, Oriental, Indian (not the Native Americans), All FF races are allowed.)
Class: (This would be the closest class equivalent in a Final Fantasy game. Say your character is a quick, athletic spear-wielder; you would put Dragoon.)
Equipment: (Anything carried typically on your long journey. Weapons, armor, potions you start off with, anything your character would carry, put it here.)
Spells: (Magic-using classes can choose 3 spells of their Magic class, these are Final fantasy-canon spells, Ultima, Meteor, and Eden Summons off-limits, as well as any instant-kill spells.)
Appearance: (Details of your character's appearance required. Pictures are alright for visualization, just don't make them too big.)
Personality: (Details. Like events in their lives up to this point that make them act/react the way they do to certain things, their dreams of the future. (Their dreams of the future can determine whether they get a legendary key, if your character gets one, I will PM you your key with your Acceptance message including an explanation of what the key does. Every Legendary Key has a power or set of powers.)
Bio: (Your character's parents, the story of your character's life to this point. Just make sure it's more than 200 words. I want to make sure the people who are in the RP can write enough themselves to grasp a complex storyline.)

9. When profiles are PM'd to me, Title it 'The Fate of Archadies', not the one at the top above the rules. It's a test to see who reads the rules before hand. All who don't put 'The Fate of Archadies' get their characters rejected.
10. And, by the way... Though this was stated in rule no. 1... NO GOD-MODING! This includes assuming a character would passivley allow something bad to happen to them.
Tyler hits Paul in the gut with his fist. <----- That sorta post is god-moding.
Tyler launches his fist in the general direction of Paul's stomach, hoping that Paul would not dodge or block it. <----- Not god-moding.
At the same time, dodging too often or too esily can also be god-moding. Even if a character is athletic, has great stamina and balance, there has to be a few times every now and then when they get tired or trip all over themselves. After all, the bigger they are, the harder they fall.
Lesser Keys
This area is for the lesser keys, and will be actively updated as people who are accepted (who don't have legendary keys) make them.
--------
(This RP is loosely inspired by Stephen King's series 'The Dark Tower', involves elements of Square's RPG series 'Final Fantasy', and the story is a butchered cut & paste of one of my own incompleted novels, 'Mythik', adding elements of 'Final Fantasy' and thoughts that came to mind when reading the first volume of the 'Dark Tower' series.)
