First I would like to make clear that this rp takes place in a Fictional World, most of the history is based on real history and I tried to make my time line as real as possible but the country (that I have named Talos) dose not exist on our world and therefore is not bound by all the normal limitations of our world. So don't go telling me things like 'Oh they didn't have that back then' or 'that never happened!' anyway onward to the Rp!

Plot
Kaleidoscope




Setting, The Country of Talos

The Holy City, Lucia


Primrose


The Capital City, Xavier


More Locations will be added as needed. For now, you're stuck with these



Rules and Guidelines

Well first off, I am god, I make the rules, and law down the law. All insubordination will be punishable by death! (of you're RPC)

Second, I would like it if you posted at least two paragraphs every day or so while keeping spelling and Grammar Mistakes minimal.

I like fighting, alot, just don't go overboard, don't eat your opponents raw and bloody organs while screaming to the sky "SATAN TAKE MY SOUL!" try to keep the gory details to yourself? Oh and No godmodding, if you're opponent is stronger than you, you should be taking the most damage, not the other way around!

Romance is perfectly fine, fall in love, get married blah blah blah, just no cybering okay? Fade to black, time skip whatever suits you just keep it out of my Rp.

Any and All rules may be subject to Change at any time.



Profile Skeleton

if you could please, Do not edit my skeleton! Just fill out the information and send it to me, DO NOT EDIT IN ANYWAY!
The title of you're PM should be you're characters name.

Technology


Transportation
- Steam powered trains and Boats are the most used transport method. No cars as of yet, but I'm sure someone will invent them eventually. Until then, if you want to go a long distance, take a train or get a hold of a horse drawn carriage.

Weapons
- This world dose have guns, but are limited to old revolvers, no rocket launchers, high tech riles or anything like that. A Typical Revolver has six shots so use you're bullets wisely!

Household Tech
Alright, there is electricity so you've got light bulbs and you won't have to depend on candles alone. I will also (for the sake of convenience) give you indoor plumbing, sinks, toilets, whatever. Homes can also be heated by electricity.

Medicine
Doing alot better than you might think. A lot of medical breakthroughs have been made and lives are easier to save but not as easy as they are today. All in all, alot of medicines have been made to prevent and cure alot of the more common illnesses.

Computers
Yeah, you wish! there aren't any personal computers, there are some computerized machines used to amke textiles and other items but not like the computers you're useing now. In this world however there are working phones and color television (Color television wasn't invented until 1920 but like I said this is not the real world), just no cell phones, Laptops, personal computers, and alot of the other technology we so love today.

Whats on the Surface
.:: Age : Nineteen
.:: Gender : Female
.:: Occupation : Teacher
.:: Personality : Distant and intelligent, a loner who ends up finding herself alone. She has ended up being quiet after a number of years of being left alone because of her bluntness and negativity. She doesn't believe in hope or anyone is going to save you, so if you want someone to comfort you when you complain, you most likely want to find a different person. She hates complainers and hates to complain, she has a distaste for affection and she thinks that friends and companions only slow her down. She shows kindness to children, but when it comes to adults, who are "know-it-alls" and people her age who are just plain "idiots" she finds comfort in children.

Whats Beneath the Skin
.:: Strength : Kira - Able to destroy the person from the inside with one point, or give them a fragment, and when she dies, so do the containers of that fragment. Only the Kira user herself can take out the fragment.
.:: Weakness : Each time she uses it is a bit of her life force, so the more she uses it the less time she has to live.
.:: Bio : Lock was an orphan, her parents had been killed off by humans and she was left to fight for herself. She had hated humans since than, but being human herself, she could not help but give them sympathy for hating witches and just ignored them completely. Her magic was self-taught, she had seen hiding witches preform some, and she decided to find hers. It took years of acting like an idiot trying to find it, but when she did she was not happy with what she found.

She was technically "cursed" with the Kira technique. It was a forbidden one, but it apparently had been infused in her body at some point and she could not get rid of it. It is her only type of sorcery and feeling closer to her parents when she uses it, literally and emotionally, she uses it even at the cost of dying. It doesn't matter, she has made sure not to let anyone be close to her, except her students, who will be the only people who miss her when she is gone.

Whats left to Discover?
.:: Weapons : Occasional Knives and a Kantana
.:: Theme : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Owr4U55WpDs&feature=autoplay&list=QL&index=3&playnext=15
.:: Misc Information : Lock has very quick reflexes, and she is more for speed than power. She can remember someone's voice even if she only heard it once, but she has trouble with names and faces. She finds animals to be her best companions, and her closest friend, is ironically, a black cat named Claw.

Ivan Averin

Whats on the Surface
.:: Age : 28
.:: Gender : Male
.:: Occupation : Bounty hunter, mercenary, bodyguard
.:: Personality : Ivan Averin is a hopeless daredevil; if he hears something is impossible, he will specifically set out to do it. The fact that he thinks he is literally unstoppable doesn't much help that. Ivan simply cannot let a challenge go past; nor can he allow an insult to his skills to go unpunished. If anyone doubts out loud Ivan's skills he will not suffer it; he would sooner have it proven to him fatally that he is wrong than admit it himself.

As far as his personality goes, Ivan has been called an arrogant asshole and would be the first to admit it is true. He would not allow an opportunity to make a snide, sarcastic cynical comment go by, often without realising he could be offending anyone with it.

Whats Beneath the Skin
.:: Strength : Ivan specialises in the use of revolvers. His ability is actually to slow his own perception of time and space, allowing him to line up shots within what seems like the merest fraction of a second to those around him. This ability also allows him to move at quick bursts of speed lasting a second or two at most. Even without this ability, he is a formidable gunfighter; however, Ivan knows little about the nature of his ability itself, and though he has learnt to master it for these purposes, he has no knowledge of any other form of magic.
.:: Weakness : Well, his sheer inability to pass up a challenge or a threat is enough of a weakness and has brought him close to death several times. A more long term problem is his drinking tendencies; combined with the aforementioned traits, this can be very problematic. As far as combat goes, Ivan is a decent melee fighter, but once his revolvers are out of ammunition and he has no way of reloading, if the opponent has a way of long range attack, he is pretty much screwed.
.:: Bio : Ivan's parents never told him of the abilities that laid dormant within him until it was too late. As a child, he never knew of the true fate of his parents; he had never even known they practiced 'magic', so it was unthinkable to him that they could have suffered the fate many others of their kind had been subjected to.

Well, once he came of age, there wasn't much for a child who had few qualifications besides an uncannily accurate aim and a fast draw with a gun. Ivan began by taking jobs in areas of significant criminal activity, apprehending fugitives and known criminals and turning them over to the highest payer. Before he even quite realised it, the young man had begun making a name for himself as the gunfighter who could ride in, line up his shots, take them, and ride out before his unlucky targets had a chance to even realise what was happening. Specifically, Ivan typically worked for the state, working in those areas where the authorities had little power to apprehend criminals.

Whats left to Discover?
.:: Weapons : He always travels with two revolvers on hand, where he can draw them and fire at a drop of a dime.

Yes, I picked up on it being romance, actually.

Unfortunately, I reckon every RP world has to have someone over age 20 :/ So that character will probably end up bein' me XD

s'up to you, I imagine. Nothing wrong with a couple more years.

If this RP even gets going, anyway. GM doesn't seem to have posted.

Great, can't wait to get started.

And Ivan's power isn't precisely god-modding I would think, since he probably cannot use it every time, and it is only when he is shooting, so it would be easy to disarm him and than he can do nothing.

Although what i always do is have a very powerful person and.or power and have dire consequences for it. It works every time, because it makes sense.
