In the world of Gelbaron, 6 grand continents filled the landscape of the world. The entire world is slightly larger than the world that we would call home. One of the continents is about 1/3 of the size of Pangaea, being slightly larger than Asia. Each continent held the extremes of Earth’s harshest terrain, ranging from a place of extreme cold to mountains that would be able to block out the sun to the unbearable heat of an expansive desert.

The smallest continent, Eoqusse, has many ecosystems within it, ranging from the only fungus forest in the world to the small inland sea that takes up over 1/3 of the continent. Feraena Forest is one of the four forests in the entire world, with it being the only fungus forest in the world. Some of the vegetation in the forest can reach the height of the tallest trees in Garresch Rainforest in Gelbeterron. The next place of interest is the Plains of Irilkon. The vast thunder plains is nothing but stormy, the landscape being filled with metallic stalactites and rusted tors. Surprisingly, even though there is lightning streaks that goes on for miles, there is rarely any rain in the plains. At the heart of the plains is Levia, the capital of Eoqusse, being nicknamed Lightning City because it is where most of the lightning is directed to. In the heart of the inland sea is a mysterious island that is home to the landmark called the Ruined Mansion. No one knows where it came from, but no one has returned from their venture there because of a mysterious 'curse' that the house supposedly have.

The continent of Galacteo, the second smallest continent, holds the hazards of ice and freezing temperatures. Only the edges of Galacteo hold the urban lands, since the Icy Wastelands were very hostile, and remained uninhabitable since time began. Tales have been heard that the temperatures throughout the land goes below -100 F, leaving those that venture into the heart of the Icy Wastelands freezing in a matter of seconds. The only few that are able to withstand the temperatures of Galacteo are the People of the Ice. They alone are adapted to the harsh blizzards and are reputably called the 'True Humans'. The capital, which is set in the Icy Wastelands is Gelidaro, or the Blue Star of Galacteo to outsiders of the continent. Rumours have it that there is a mysterious creature that lives in the heart of the Icy Wasteland, which was the cause for the majestic Drægar to move away from the waters that split the two landmasses.

Taelvera is the fiery continent. It is home to the largest volcano in the world, one which is reputable for the many deaths that it possesses during the many descents of the fire pilgrims that mainly reside in the continent. Mortalio Mountain is the highest point in the world, reaching the same height of Mount Everest. The continent's name is derived from the massive caldera that takes up nearly the entire continent, the entire area marked out by the famous Infernus H.alo. The only safe passage through the entire H.alo, which is nothing but a massive ring of lava, is through the capital city, Flæris, on the east of the ring. Those that come from the port city of Liaut will either try and brave the perilous passage through the H.alo, infested by the thousands of burning undead that take a hold on it, or travel several hundreds of miles around to get to the capital city. According to the book of mythos in the libraries of Flæris, there is a mysterious surprise at the heart of Mortalio Mountain that no one has yet to see.

The third largest continent, Aureanus, is the south pole of the world. It has a similar climate to Galacteo, but the temperature is warmer than its sister continent. It is always sunny, though the gentle winds that brush across the landscape makes the warm rays of the sun cold. With the sun constantly shining down, the landscape is constantly bright, making it hard for travelers to see what dangers would approach them. The creatures in Aureanus, notably the elusive White Halergeth (a large, white lizard that is a similar build to a Komodo Dragon), are several times more vicious than anything seen in Galacteo, making the trek more dangerous. The continent is has two ice shelfs, one nearly splitting the continent into two landmasses, are the main features of the continent. Glaciera is, though not as beautifully sculpted as the ice buildings in Gelidaro, a beautiful city to visit.

Out of the two largest continents, the landscape of Celbaron is expansive. The Celbarean Desert alone is the biggest area of nature in the entire world, taking up nearly 2/3 of the area of the continent itself. The desert itself is one of the hottest places on the entire world, second only to the caldera of Taelvera and the Infernus Barbie Horse Adventures. The unbearable rays of the sun and the lack of clouds are certain to leave people traveling the desert wanting to drink constantly. The nights, due to the lack of shelter, gets very cold, though not as cold as the two ice continents. Sandstorms are prevalent towards the heart of the desert and near one of the capitals of the continent, Salizærba. Amaroth Mountains has the second largest volcano in the world, the Volcano of Caern, and the Head of Celbaron is the smallest mountain range in the entire world. Malea is the city on the edge of the Land of the Malou, badlands that have heat extremes that makes the Celbarean look like a cold place. The only thing that stops the lands from being the hottest place is the clouds that frequently come from the mountains.

The final continent of Gelbeterron, its size overshadowing Celbaron by a fair margin, held the mountains, rolling plains and the massive forests. The Gateway to Gelbeterron is the largest mountain range in the world, over 5 times the size of the Head of Celbaron, though it is still smaller than the Celbarean Desert. Roads have been built for a thousand years so the Beacon of Hope and Galbeez are linked. However, during the times when the roads were made, several road builders made roads that led through the mountains, either leading to a longer road to either of the two cities, or to an inevitable death. All around Gelbeterron knows this about these mountains; if you are unprepared, and enter the Gateway, you will never reach the other side of it, leading to the hands of starvation or the hands of the hostile life forms that dwell inside. The other mountains that are in Gelbeterron are the amply named 'Werepyre' Mountains, where fiendish creatures of the night are able to rip a full grown man in their bare hands. Folia Forest and Jaeltreg Forest are forests that are home to deciduous and coniferous trees respectably. Garresch Rainforest is the only rainforest in the entire world, placed in between the Gateway and 'Werepyre' Mountains, where it continuously rains, save for the Beacon of Hope that is Terrubane. Silvæa is the other capital of Gelbeterron, which is at the heart of Jaeltreg Forest.

Gelbeterron, Celbaron and, to some extent, Galacteo and Aureanus is split up by the massive Aranth Ocean. The waters are more tropical than some of the other oceans, which makes the coastlines around it some attractive places for families to go and spend the day. Towards the heart of Aranth, Axehead Islands and Solitude Island is placed. Solitude Island is a place of absolute tranquility, no human ever marring the beauty that the island has, each tree placed in the ground to perfection. Axehead Islands, on the other hand, still has some beauty. The small group of islands are marred with the rumours of pirates inhabiting the islands being something that forces merchant ships to keep their eyes out onto the horizon. However, Axehead Islands and Solitude Island held beauty, both are haunted by the final group of islands, only known as the Unforgiven Islands. Once renowned for being the islands that was home to the famous blacksmith, Calelotte, and some of the finest craftsmanship that the world has seen. On the other hand, they were also the islands that led to his downfall. Once a lush green island, now only black ground and death reside on the island.

The second largest ocean in the world is Daergren Ocean, the ocean that links Galacteo, the north of Gelbeterron and the north of Taelvera. Due to the nature that the ocean being so close to the cold continent, the waters that makes up the ocean is icy cold, able to freeze someone to death within minutes of exposure. Not even the massive amounts of layers to keep a person's body warm is unable to keep that person alive. There is also the danger that there is various icebergs floating in the ocean that makes it too dangerous for sea faring folk to travel in, lest they want to crash into them. Each iceberg is unique in size and shape, decreasing the chance to meet an iceberg of the same size and shape in the ocean to zero. This is also the ocean that a few of the largest Drægars live, being able to survive the monster that lives in the deep. Rumours have it that this beast lives in the waters that run between the two landmasses that make up Galacteo.

The relationship between Kælgreth and Daergren Ocean is the same as the relationship between Galacteo and Aureanus. The only difference between the second largest ocean and the ocean that links Aureanus and the south of Celbaron and Eoqusse is that the temperature is halfway between Aranth Ocean and Daergren Ocean. The waters are crystal blue, able to see to the underwater mountains that are underneath the surface of the water. Rumours have it that there is an ancient city that resides in these mountains, but many explorers have found nothing when they tried various methods of looking at the bottom of those ridges. These include Far-Sight, a spell that is able to see places in far away. There is no visible means of actually going to the bottom of Kælgreth because of the vicious creatures that lurks in the deep, including those that can drain those that use Far-Sight.

Finally, the smallest of all the oceans and seas that links the continents together is Beloth Sea, commonly known as 'Aranth's little sister'. Linking Galacteo, Taelvera and Celbaron, the sea is in the similar temperature range to Kaelgreth Ocean, though it is more towards the warm temperatures of Aranth, since it is close to two of the hottest continents in the world. Despite being near Daergren and Aranth Ocean, there is no Drægars in Beloth. Instead, there is the Derapherons, or the 'three headed shark' as it is rumoured to look like. The creature is rarely seen by sailors and it is even rarer that there are any survivors from the ships that come across one. Various descriptions are used because the experience of meeting one is horrific to those that look upon it.

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

It was only a few hundred years ago did an undeniable evil emerge from both the Amaroth Mountains and the ‘Werepyre Mountains’, and started to spread throughout the world. Chaldon and Qucndel were the first civilized cities that had fallen to this evil and Berenol was under siege by it.

Terrubane, being the capital of Gelbaterron, also fell under siege by the Werepyres, but it still stands, with thanks to a band of mercenaries repelling the evil from their city. Ever since the Siege of the Scourge, Terrubane has been known as the Capital of the world and the Beacon of Hope.

However, in these dark days, the Werepyres, under the lead of an unknown man called Lord Sacremento, managed to wipe nearly all of the mercenaries out, and completely destroyed Terrubane. Only a flicker of hope is left on the backs of the few mercenaries left. However, the burden to restore peace throughout Gelbaron… rests on the shoulders of Mercinus Greyback…


Plot Summary: Right… This is an epic war between an unknown force and the withering forces of the mercenaries. It is up to the mercenaries to vanquish the dark forces that hold the world in the delicate balance.

You can play as the mercenaries, hoping to destroy Lord Sacremento and his forces. Or… you can play as the minions, under the rule of Sacremento, and try to rule the world with a dark, iron fist.

Unlike the same RP on DCF, I'm not going to start the RP with a flashback, since it confused everyone.

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

Now then… here are the rules for this RP;

-No cussing. It is unnecessary.
-Violence is allowed. If you don’t have a strong stomach with the detail, then I recommend that you don’t join this RP at all.
-Romance is allowed, just, don't go into detail. I mean, seriously, no vulgar descriptions of sex or suggest any inappropriate innuendo in this RP.
-This is a Literate/Advanced RP, and the minimum requirements of a post are 3 paragraphs of 7-9 very detailed sentences. If anyone consistently going underneath these requirements of this RP, I have the right to ask you to leave the RP, unless you have a good reason why.
-Although this is based around the medieval area, I am allowing guns on characters. However, if you want big guns/swords, you’ll need to have swords (knives/daggers)/pistols, so that there is no power play/god modding in this RP.
-OOC chat should be double brackets
-If there are any newcomers to the RP, check to see if there is a balance between the two sides. If is unbalanced by 3 character, you have to join the other side.
-Maximum of 3 characters
-MY WORD IS LAW. If I ask you not to do something, I mean it. It can lead to me kicking you off the RP.
-The usual RP rules apply as well, so no GM, PP, Mary Sues, and all that jazz.

History (At least 3 paragraph of 7-9 sentences):

Here's my character, as an example;
Username:
Name: Mercinus Greyback
Age: 24
Race: Human
Side: Mercenary
Personality:
Mercinus has, although being someone around his early 20s, the wisdom of any of the Elders. He has a warm and kind personality when anyone sees him in a tavern. However, in battle, he is a completely different person. He shows no mercy and is fierce to all of his foes. He is rather quick-witted and can leave people in confusion in what he says, allowing time for him to formulate a plan for any situation. His charisma and determination makes him an ideal leader for a group of mercenaries. However, he is a little bit paranoid after all of the events that fell upon him in his teenage years.
Description:
Mercinus is of a large, well-built frame, standing at about 5”11/6”0 with a weight of 145lbs. His hair is semi-long and dark blonde, nearly dark brown. His eyes are of a deep, crystal blue color, showing an unnatural knowledge in them. A scar runs across his face, overlapping his right eye, and ending at the bottom of his left cheek. He usually ties his hair back, showing the extent of that scar. His usual apparel is a simple studded leather jerkin over a simple, slightly rusted breastplate. He wears a pair of gauntlets, which are slightly rusted and the spikes on them are worn and pointless. He wears a simple pair of slightly rusted greaves. His boots are in a similar shape of riding boots.
Other:
Mercinus has a swords and a pistol. Although his pistol is rather powerful at a range, he favors fighting with his claymore, Silver Moon.

Silver Moon: Silver Moon is a claymore of fine craftsmanship. The blade, which stands at an impressive 1.3m, is of a flawless icy blue color, glinting with a righteous aura within it. The metal is not of ordinary steel. It consists of a rare mineral called Blue Rite, which gives the sword the beautiful glow. The guard is of pure gold, the tips of it curving slightly in the direction of the pommel. The handle is also of pure gold with a turquoise-colored fabric on it, the same color as the pommel. Silver Moon is the last weapon to be made by the famous Callelotte before he made the Forsaken Weapons, and was also made the same time as its twin, whose name is yet to be discovered.

History:
Mercinus came from a family with no honor or fame. His mother was a freelancing prostitute and his father was a corrupted member of Terrubane Police Force. His school life was of no interest to him, since he was bullied constantly by people larger than him and the teachers themselves. So many times did he try to commit suicide because of the terrible events, to all of which were thwarted by his caring mother. His last suicide attempt, which he nearly succeeded in killing himself, an entity, appeared in his dying vision. This entity, whose name still eludes Mercinus, gave Mercinus the strength to carry on living. From that point on, he had beaten back the bullies and the corrupted teachers.

When he turned 16, he had an interest in a girl, who had a well known and rich family, Alexandria. He asked her many times if she would want to go out with him. However, every attempt was thwarted by a bully called Hunter. Mercinus and Hunter always fought with each other, Mercinus being the victor of all of them, to Alexandria’s liking. It was the night of the prom, the night where Mercinus was his happiest ever, since Alexandria accepted his offer for him to take her to the dance, when a great tragedy befell him. Hunter grabbed Alexandria and tried to rape her. Mercinus caught him red handed, and pushed him away from the girl of his dreams. Hunter brought out a flick knife and slashed him across the face. Furious, Mercinus grabbed the knife from Hunter’s hand and stabbed him. Realizing what he had done in front of Alexandria, he ran away from the school, never to be seen by Alexandria or his family again.

It was while he was roaming the streets of Downtown Terrubane did he encounter the people that made him become a mercenary. Walking up to them, he asked if he could join them, having nowhere to go. The leader of the group of mercenaries, Damenth, accepted him and taught him everything that he knew about fighting. Then one fateful day, Mercinus, Damenth and two mercenaries were ambushed by a group of bandits. Damenth was mortally wounded and the two mercenaries were struck down. Mercinus managed to fend off the bandits, only to have witnessed the death of his mentor. Damenth told Mercinus to take his claymore, Silver Moon, and some advice. “Always be strong, and figure ways to solve any situation that you may face…” Damenth spoke before he drew his final breath. Mercinus took Silver Moon and the weapons of the other mercenaries, which consisted of a katana and a pistol. He carried on being a mercenary until he was known throughout the capital.

The Forsaken Weapons

During the time of the legendary Blacksmith, Callelotte, he created 16 weapons that would lead him to his downfall. These were the Forsaken Weapons, the weapons, when brought together, would bring about the Apocalypse and end Gelbaron. Realising that these weapons were too catastrophic to be with him, Callelotte, and a few sages, seperated the weapons throughout the world, and were lost to the sands of time.
