[[Copied from the old EL site, and edited a little.
Unfortunately, I screwed up entirely, and didn't copy that entire post, so I lost the character sheets.
So, to compensate, I had opened all the canon positions back up.
I'm really sorry if your original spot (if you had a canon position) was taken before you had a chance to re-post your character(s).]]


Long ago, the great land of Pangaea was one of turmoil. Several great battles between rival clans and races have broken out, and all of them seemed to be chained together somehow.

When it seemed that a World War was on the horizon, it all suddenly stopped. By the mysterious ways of one man, the tension between peoples was settled, and all was suddenly well. Despite the ensuing confusion, the vast lands were grateful. If not for this man, countless lives would have been lost. The man was thereby crowned King of Pangaea.

And his legacy lives on, even today.

There is one day out of every year when Pangaea's inhabitants celebrate this great Peace-Making by holding a grand festival in the capital. This year is no different, however...

A strange cult, known simply as the Rebellion, has recently appeared. Their belief is that this long-lasting peace is corrupt, and they are willing to go to great lengths to bring it to and end. They have caused trouble before, and were once thought to have disbanded completely, but now, they are back together and, with a new leader in their midst, seem to have an even bigger plan in mind. And they had found exactly what they needed to set it in motion…

Things to Know:

The Setting: Pangaea
The setting of this roleplay. As its name implies, it is much like the ancient super-continent of which we all know. A vast island realm, beyond it, an endless ocean. Its edges are almost completely made up of a large mountain range. It was once separated into different countries, but the great Peace-Making had made them into provinces. There are, of course, cities scattered across the island, but they become more concentrated around the capital city.

The Technology or Lack Thereof
Pangaea is mostly ruled by magic, so technology is all but obsolete. There are, however, a few cities that incorporate technology (the capital is included), but what is there is considered steam-punk.

How This is Going to Work
I've separated the roleplay into chapters, so to speak.
Ch. I: This will span over everyone's first few posts.
Basically, in this chapter, you introduce your characters, what you're doing at the festival, and, well, mingle for a little while.

Ch. II: The main antagonist and conflict is introduced, as well as the quest at hand.
I'll send a PM to the Rebellion's players, to give them a bit of info about what's going on.

Ch III: We're off! This will be the main body of the roleplay, and will span as long as it takes.

More will come soon, but for now, this will be all that I'll give you.

[Please note: Though this is a supposed quest roleplay, either side can win.]

Rules:
I am the GM, and therefore what I say goes.
Do not time-skip without my permission.
Post your profiles here, but wait for my OK before you start posting in the IC (if it's up already).
No excessive romance scenes; take it to PM if things get too intimate.
Violence/fights are alright (in fact, it's kind of implied), just don't kill anyone without their permission.
More rules will be added when I think of them.

I'm still in for this one, Akina. ^^

User Name: Drakedragon

Name: Peron Littington

Age: 24

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Powers:
1.) Resistant: His only ability, Peron is completely and totally immune to magic. Magic cannot directly touch him or affect him in any way. Magic artifacts or things of power cannot activate while in his grip or within three feet of him. He cannot be hurt by a fireball or lightning attack or etc. Unfortunately, this also means that he cannot be healed with magic either. Any injuries he sustains must heal the old fashioned way – time and rest! Note: While magic cannot harm him directly, it can do so indirectly. For example, that fireball is fired at a wall or he’s in a wooden building – the debris from the blast and collapsing things could hurt him.

Occupation: Mostly a Merchant that deals mostly with rare magical artifacts, but when searching for them he can easily become a Treasure Hunter or an Archeologist.

Personality: Peron is a morally gray character who ever so slightly leans towards what one would be considered ‘good.’ However, he is not afraid to make decisions or perform actions that one might consider bad. He can also, at times, be a coward. If he sees someone in danger whether or not he’ll help them depends a great deal on what kind of danger (say, beset by a band of highwaymen, if he thinks there’s too many, he would run away or go around. If they’re hanging from a cliff or something, he’ll try to help them. It really depends on the situation.). Still, even when’s afraid, he’s remarkably good at acting and presenting a front of calm confidence, sometimes smugness if he wants to evoke a certain response.

When it comes to his occupation, he can be a bit... intimidating. Most of the time, he can get his hands on artifacts that would be deadly to most other people, especially those not trained to use magic. When trading with other merchants, he’s quite good at smashing their confidence in their appraisal of an object and getting them to either part with it for a criminally small sum or to buy something insignificant for a fortune. Naturally, this has earned him a few enemies, some he is aware of, and some he isn’t.

Peron has very specific tastes when it comes to women and won’t look twice at them should even one of these conditions not match. If he does find someone he likes, he will flirt with her, granted that it’s the appropriate time. He won’t be discouraged very easily either, especially with how rarely he meets a woman that matches his expectations. He can usually keep his cool, but once he blows his top, he goes into a rampage until he either tires out destroys the object of his ire or someone socks him in the face and knocks him out. When asked about his scars, he has a tendency to embellish a bit and there can be as many as four or five different versions of the two stories (which one he picks and whether or not he makes a new one depends on his fancy).


Appearance: (I will draw him, here’s a description until then)
Peron is tall and very skinny, but his muscles are toned from years of travel and running around in ruins (and from scoundrels!). His hands are dusty and callused after spending a lot of time digging through rubble and the dirt. However, his skin is a little pale (too much time either underground or in dusty buildings with poor or no lighting) and he’s attained one or two noticeable scars from a few too many brushes with the Reaper himself. One is a shallow slash mark that runs from the front-middle of his neck, curves up and around and ends in front of his ear. The other is his missing ring finger on his left hand. He has short, well-kept, dark brown hair and he’s a very hairy man (his back is the only place on his entire body that isn’t a miniature forest). His eyes are curiously slanted and a lively, forest green. He has a slightly thinner face, with a straight nose and a somewhat angular jaw.

His clothing is usually weather-worn and consists of tunic, breeches, shin-high boots, a travelling cloak, a pack and several pouches that hold his tools and possessions and occasionally gloves (with one finger hold cut off, of course). When meeting with anyone of importance, he will wear cleaner and finer apparel. One thing he always has on him, though, is a necklace with an onyx crystal inset into an amulet (when asked about it, he won’t say much or will dodge the question. He never tries to sell it or trade it off).

Other Information: Peron knows the amulet he possesses is dangerous. He holds onto it because he knows it can’t be activated or used while on his person. What its effects are, are known only to him and a dead man. It was found in some ruins on the west coast, in the mountains. Research into its history has yielded no results, it’s like the thing doesn’t even exist, but he holds it right there in his hands.

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

User Name: Drakedragon

Name: Vellar “Ulren Dardrick” (His human alias he’s constructed over the years)

Age: Appears 25-ish in human form

Gender: Male

Race: White Dragon

Powers:
1.) Ice: Vellar can use ice magic naturally. If he is without a source of water, the ice that is used is magically created and will fade when he releases the magic. Regular fire (like a torch or a campfire) cannot melt the ice created by his magic; it must either be magical in nature or be incredibly hot (like lava hot). When in his dragon form, ice is his breath weapon. Under the right conditions, he can create snowstorms. He has no issues with being in frigid areas in either form.
2.) Shapeshift: Vellar can change shape. He spends most of his time in a human form, but he has also changed into a white cat, a winter wolf and an eagle. His dragon color has no effect on his other forms, sometimes he just prefers the color white.

Occupation: Rebellion

Personality: Vellar despises the peace that has consumed the continent of Pangaea. However, when he is out and about, he will feign contentment and cheeriness. The only times he ever lets his hatred for it out, is when he loses his temper or someone incredibly naïve says something equally inane that strikes the wrong chord. If nobody brings up the peace, he’s usually not too difficult to be around... well, if you’re somewhat familiar to him. Strangers have a hard time approaching “Ulren,” especially if he’s in a bad mood. He seems to evoke feelings of unease in people around him, an instinctual desire to avoid him.

He is very knowledgeable though, especially in the areas of history and old war stories from the age of chaos. If asked about them, he will gladly share some without embellishing (although people are sometimes inclined to believe that he is anyway).

The rest of his personality can be next to impossible to draw out. He shares very little about himself and few have ever actually seen what he’s really like beyond the fake cheer or the brooding bitterness that has hardened his heart and he is incredibly stubborn.

Appearance: (I will draw him eventually)
Human form: This form is of an average 5’6” feet and leanly muscled. His skin is snow white and hard, almost like his body is chiseled out of stone, and it’s cold to the touch when he is using his magic. His hair is white and his eyes are red, so most people assume he’s an albino (and thus, they find it strange that he isn’t bothered by the sunlight). His clothes are usually travel-worn, but mostly consist of white, gold and brighter shades of blue.
Dragon form: Like most white dragons, his true form is quite large and stands a little over 6-stories tall and with a body length and wingspan almost twice that. Two large horns protrude from the back of his head, but one of them appears to have been broken in half. His scales are pearly white and an impressive site to behold, but he rarely flaunts them.
- Other forms include: a white cat, winter wolf and eagle.

Other Information: Every year, Vellar makes a habit of travelling to areas where it regularly snows every winter and spends some time there. What he does, though, is anyone’s guess.

looks fun :O
Username: Forever_Torn
Name: Night Rose
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Race: Black Dragon
Appearance:
Human form: Posted Image -- Her smile is not real. Do not think she is nice lol --
Dragon Form:
Posted Image
Occupation: Leader: Rebellion
She leads the rebellion to destroy the peace.
Abilities:
Telepathic:
Night can read people's minds, and has become even more perfected to hear every thought in their head even if they are miles away. But after a long time maybe about 4 hours of reading someone's mind really closely from far away or even up close, she gets really tired and isn't able to anymore. She usually uses it only if she needs to.

Death:
She can eat souls if she becomes hungry, but depending on how strong the soul is, it takes away as much as energy as a week worth, and she usually has to rest for a very long time.
Fast Regeneration:
Instead of taking many hours to regenerate huge wounds, she can regenerate wounds in a matter of few seconds or minutes depending on how severe the cut is. It takes a bit of her energy each time, and she can't stop it so she tries not to get hurt and sleeps a lot.

Personality: Has a dark aura always around her, always in a bad mood. Doesn't have patience for anyone, and yells at you if you irritate her. Her kindness only shows to those she cares about..and right now she has none. She has a tough way she carries herself, and often can feel other people's feeling and read them to her dismay.

Brief Bio: Before she became the leader of the Rebellion, she was a loner, a roamer, liked to travel a lot. She was sick of people laughing and having fun, because to her they were just forgetting the true troubles of real life. She was critical of people, and wasn't proud of it, but didn't care. Her family was dead because of her, because at the age of 5 days, her parents tried to attack her, Night doesn't know why, maybe because she was a Death Dragon, but she had to kill her own parents with her own eyes. She hated getting close to anyone else because it was the last feeling she ever had, pain. Some Rebellion kids asked if she could be their leader one day because she was so strong, and really, she didn't mind. She thought it would be exciting to find terror again.

I'm glad I scrolled back up; I was about to get on you about having too many powers, but then I realized the fourth was your personality field.
XD

Your character's VERY overpowered; I'd appreciate it if you toned her abilities down.

Err, that wasn't what I meant.
By "overpowered", I meant that all three of your abilities are over-the-top.
I'm not saying you can't have them at all, but I'd appreciate if you'd give them a little more restriction than than what you gave them there.

I apologize for the confusion; I should have been more clear with that.

Woohoo!
Tox has rejoined us!
Sure, you can change Cygnus' job if you want.
...To what, exactly?
Vice Leader?

EDIT: So, I really need to read people's posts.
=.=
My answer's still yeah, though.

And sorry about the confusion.
I entirely forgot to save everyone's profiles, so, since I have the memory capacity of a goldfish, I couldn't remember who was playing what part.
So, my (uber-faulty) plan was to just open all the spots back up and hope that everyone who was in (and still /wanted/ to be in) would get their sheets back up.
I honestly couldn't think of anything better.
=.=
[/midnightramble]

BUT!
I'm glad you and Drake were smart enough to save your character sheets!

Awesome stuff.
Personally, I wasn't too worried about my Menagerie thread, because it wasn't like I was going to lose any character if I didn't save it, since I very seldom create characters for specific RPs.
However, I was rather bummed that I couldn't save, at the very least, the character list.
It was the one part of that first post I forgot to save.
*sigh*

...Ignore me, I'm rambling.
I need sleep.

Lol, that's okay. I was fast enough to get my spots, I guess :P

I save all of my characters when I make then. (Looking back on my first ones makes me cringe XD)

Anyways, it's 12 in the afternoon over here, lol, so I'm still nice and perky. Glad you transfered the rp! ^_^

And haha, Drake, intriuge indeed!
