Endless Time
Thanks GotMLK7 for the amazing poster!
~~~~~~~~~~
Many ages ago, when magical creatures still roamed the earth, and the sword was the mightiest force in the world, there existed a continent of nations, each with its own ruler, its own people, its own goals. Wars occurred but never lasted long. Peace reigned supreme.
Then he came.
The nation of Darath, a state bordering the Galap Ocean from the west, was a mighty nation. A bustling economy, profitable trade, and exploration of the sea brought this nation to the forefront of its time, an example to all others. That is, until the great king Polomi passed away.
That was when his only living relative, his grandson Thereme, took the throne.
His parents having been killed by political rivals, Thereme was a young boy controlled only by his troubled mind. He immediately began to rule with an iron fist.
Thereme, however, did not wish to stop with controlling Darath. It was his wish to one day rule the entire world. He sent spies to other countries, discreetly, finding out about their weaknesses and strengths.
He made one fatal error, however- finding and attempting to exploit the buried Kingdom of Grahk in the Galap Ocean, inhabited by lost souls of the dead. His living spies were discovered and killed. Infuriated, the king of that nation placed a curse on Darath and Thereme:
"The heart of Thereme will turn to stone, and he will be doomed to live until the stone is shattered by the sword, even if that takes as long as time itself!"
The cursed king, Thereme, quickly descended into a cold, heartless shadow of a human. His mind remained bright, however, and he continued gathering information on his enemies. All of this was done undercover, but certain nations are starting to catch on to the plan...
~~~~~~~~~~
Overview
Welcome to Endless Time, the first AAO roleplaying game that isn't actually based on anything else!
In this game, Thereme, leading the nation of Darath, is secretly planning on taking over the world by invading other nations. Some are beginning to catch on to the plan, however, and others sense war approaching...
Summary of the Game So Far
Spoiler : Endless Time Summary by GuardianDreamer :
(Author's Note: The following summary currently goes up to page 138 of Endless Time. This will likely be updated in the future. Please note that not all characters will be mentioned in this summary, as this is a summary of the main plot of Endless Time. Again, I apologize, as some of the more minor characters are great characters, but they may not be mentioned due to not having made an impact on the plot. Please read the opening post of Endless Time carefully, as well as the very first in-character post on page 3, written by SuperGanondorf. It will make things clearer. You should read the character applications. At the very least, you should read the applications of the following characters: Narome, Mika Cadenza, Lamont Kliner, Minoru Akihiro, and Alexis Lockswell. This summary WILL be based on the assumption that you have read those profiles at the very least.
It would be beneficial if you read the other sign-ups as well, but those are the ones that you absolutely need to read.)
Thereme sits in his throne room, hearing reports about various things. It is found out that Minoru Akihiro, the former king of Alia, defeated some of Thereme's forces that were located in Jopo. Minoru is currently exiled from his own kingdom, and is trying to regain control of it. After some debating, a young dark-mage prodigy named Ewyn is chosen to accompany Minoru, though it is with extreme reluctance on the part of the village of Jopo, which is usually very distrusting of strangers.
Another report is given to Thereme, and it is discovered that there is an intruder inside the castle(The castle's name is Grathal). The intruder is the infamous 'Tondoe Menace', Narome, who has been captured by guards. After Narome refuses to truthfully answer some questions, he is thrown into the castle dungeons to be tortured. Narome manages to escape quickly by killing the guards guarding his cell. Narome escaped, and had a chance-encounter with a woman named Kea Kassidee, and they both got emotionally close to each other very quickly.
At that moment, a giant air-ship shows up in front of the two. The sole passenger and driver is a commander by the name of Mika Cadenza(Apparently from an entirely different planet), who befriends Narome and Kea quickly. Shortly after that, Kea finds out that Narome is the Tondoe Menace. After a moment of shock, Kea does come to accept it. Meanwhile, Commander Grylon(a commander who works under Thereme) speaks to a crowd, then orders a search to capture Narome. After Narome is informed that guards were sent to capture him, he runs away from Mika and Kea to hide elsewhere. After a short while, guards show up and question Kea. When the guards insult Narome, Kea has an outburst. The guards then capture her, to question Kea for information. After being tortured by a corrupt guard, she gives false information to Thereme(who acts like a kind king).
Mika takes command of his ship to attack the castle, in an attempt to protect Kea and Narome. At this point, Minoru also shows up on an airship, having gathered a great army. It helps during the battle. Soon, all-out war breaks out. The forces of Darath are led by Perofe, the royal archmage. Another mage(who can control matter) by the name of Salfira Artefielle decides to join the battle and attacks Perofe. The battle continues for a long while, with the two airships attacking the forces of Darath. Perofe then receives orders to blow up the city of Sabolin to destroy the airships. Thousands of innocent people die, and Mika's airship is nearly destroyed. Minoru's ship manages to escape just in time to avoid the explosion. Narome and Kea both find passage in Minoru's ship, both of them now unconscious. At this point in time, everyone believes that Mika died in battle.
Commander Mika Cadenza manages to escape alive, but his ship crashes in a mountain near Jopo. Once there, he runs into Salfira, who helped out during the battle earlier. Meanwhile, an assassin named Darken heads to Jopo under King Thereme's orders, to recover an artifact that is said to hold immense power. Once in Jopo, he manages to fight a few guards and retrieve the artifact. At that moment though, the guardian of the artifact, Aaron, senses that something is amiss and heads back to Jopo to stop Darken. Salfira uses magic to get Mika and himself to Jopo, causing some damage to Jopo in the process. Salfira and Mika both argue with Darken, who they recognize from the Battle of Sabolin. Aaron runs into the scene, and uses magic to prevent any escape attempts. Once that is done, he transforms into a dragon. He then battles Salfira, Darken, and Mika because they know about the artifacts, which are supposed to be kept a secret.
After a long battle, Aaron is killed. Mika is guilt-ridden, and Darken escapes with the artifact. When he arrives back in Sabolin, he gives the artifact to Thereme. Once Thereme uses the artifact, a blinding light emnates, and the entire city of Sabolin sees the bright light. Meanwhile, Mika goes back to his airship, while Salfira goes elsewhere. At Minoru's air ship, Narome wakes up and Kea falls into a coma. Soon after that, an assassin from Darath named Drey attacks Narome, and they both fight. At the same time, another Darath spy disrupts what's going on in the ship by making Minoru's ship attack the ship of Admiral Kathryn Jayneway, a close friend of Mika's. Minoru's ship is shot down after a battle. Many soldiers die, but all characters onboard find a way to survive, including Kea, who is rescued by Drey and Narome. Jayneway's ship sees the three, and captures them to ask questions, mostly asking about Mika's whereabouts.
Meanwhile, a paladin by the name of Alexis Lockswell travels to Sabolin and gets an audience with King Thereme. Once there, she explains that she wishes to serve Darath and restore her family's honor. After thinking for a while, Thereme makes Alexis a captain and assigns her a mission. The mission is to find another artifact(of which there are apparently 5 or 6), located in a cave on a border of Darath. Alexis accepts, and along with some soldiers that are now under her command, she makes the journey to the cave. Once there, they confront the guardian of the relic. This guardian does not go by a name, but resembles an insane clown, and takes joy in fighting. After some initial difficulties, the guardian is slain, and Alexis takes the relic it was guarding, which seems to be imbued with the power of darkness. When Alexis returns to Sabolin, she gives the artifact to Thereme.
At around the same time, Lamont Kliner is leading an expedition to try and find another one of the artifacts, as well as attempting to find Minoru, who has gone missing. After a long search, he manages to find a cave where the artifact is hidden, but he goes alone to try and find it. Once there, he finds a guardian that he faces, though this guardian seems much more human than the one Alexis fought. The guardian's name is Avelle, and she duels Lamont, both of them wielding swords. Lamont is victorious, and Avelle dies. Lamont then obtains the artifact imbued with Ice-elemental energy, and he begins to get tempted by its power. It seems as though it corrupts him quickly.
Around Jayneway's ship, an encounter occurs. Narome and Drey have another dispute, with Jayneway trying to find out what's going on. At the same time, two bounty hunters, Jax and Wild, enter the area, apparently on a mission to capture Narome. Many people then enter the scene. Exa Heya, who is plotting to kill Thereme, enters the ship alongside with Kenneth Roymond, who is forcefully being dragged along, and they try to set up a meeting of some kind with Jayneway. Kenneth is thrown into a prison though, for clearly being too violent, though he later manages to escape. Exa gets her request granted, and decides to take a look around the ship.
As the argument gets more and more heated, it is to the surprise of everyone when Mika shows up, accompanied by Roxciel, Salfira's sister who had run into Mika earlier. Everyone who thought that Mika was dead can hardly believe that he's still alive. There's still much debate though, and the argument continues. After a while. Drey leaves along with Vincent(his partner who had managed to catch up earlier). It's around that time that Kea suddenly wakes up from her coma. There's a reunion between Mika, Narome, and Kea, as the argument stops for a while due to this event.
It is at this point that another issue is brought up. Narome hasn't taken any life energy in a while, and he needs to do so soon. After thinking over a few options, Narome decides that absorbing life energy from Mika(who says that he should be fine) is the option that he is least morally opposed to. After attempting to do so however, Narome absorbs too much life energy, and after a brief talk, Mika collapses, seemingly falling into a coma.
Elsewhere, Lamont has quickly been corrupted by the relic. It seems as though the power of the relic has changed him greatly, and he quickly conquers Alia with an army that he had previously been assembling for Minoru. A team of soldiers also meets up with Minoru, and then try to kill him, though that encounter has not ended yet. Lamont's invasion of Alia has ended however, with him emerging victorious and taking the former king(who usurped Minoru) prisoner, but then decides to kill him instead.
At Darath, a messenger speaks with Thereme. It seems as though recently, the plants in the world have been dying. Thereme dismisses it at first, but he later begins to worry about it. Thereme decides that Lamont is a threat, and thinks of a way to deal with him, first sending some spies to Alia to make an assessment. Thereme then speaks to Alexis, who had found Salfira and Byeet(An illusionist that Salfira met shortly after he parted ways with Mika), and brought them in for questioning, since Salfira played a major part in the battle of Sabolin, sided with the enemy. This meeting hasn't concluded yet.

The World of Endless Time
Major Nations:
There are a few major nations in play in this world: Darath: The "villain"; the nation that is trying to invade others. Ruled by King Thereme. It is known for military might and technological prowess. Grahk: The island of the dead, located miles off the coast of Darath. Spirits exist freely here. Legend has it that all of the world's secrets exist here, buried along with this ancient kingdom of death. Yalara: A bustling, but fairly small nation. Based on agriculture and industry. Has its share of mages thanks to Jopo, but as a whole its military relies more on traditional weapons. Jopo: A small village of mages, tucked away in the mountains of Yalara. All types of mages and magic users abide here, as do some secrets lost to time. Terum: A massive nation, filled with all sorts of people. Trade is an important factor here. Its military combines magic with traditional weapons for powerful effects. Fellum: A nation built on magic. Magic runs through this country, its military, and its people. Very few earthly weapons are used in its military; they rely almost wholly on magic. Alia: Said to have existed longer than time itself, Alia is in the center of the Great Continent. Many ancient mysteries exist here. Only a small few areas are populated; most of this nation has descended into wilderness, with ancient ruins throughout. Has recently been taken over by Lamont Kliner and has been renamed "The Alian Empire."
Other Information
Spoiler : World Geography :
Political boundaries separate most of these nations. On the eastern side of the continent, a vast sea called the Galap Ocean exists. Grahk is a tiny island out in the distance. The only way one would discover it would be to almost literally run into it, since it is protected by many enchantments and souls of the dead (think Ikana Canyon from Zelda: Majora's Mask. Google it if you don't know what it is). The other nations are separated by political boundaries. Some are based along mountainous ridges, others are based on rivers (neither of these run the full lengths of borders, but serve as a guideline). These countries all border each other or come close to doing so. Fellum is in the south, a vast country (its southern part borders the ocean to the east). Terum is in the west, opposite Darath which borders the ocean. Yalara is in the north, a small nation compared to these other giants. In the far west is Alia, bordering Terum. It is a vast nation, though only its eastern areas are civilized. Jopo is a small village in the northern peaks of Yalara. It is not a country in and of itself, though it is powerful in its own right.
Spoiler : Currency System :
GuardianDreamer came up with a good currency system to use for this RP. It is a general currency that is widely used, but not completely universal (i.e., some shops might use their own currency, etc.
Each unit is called a Sone, which is approximately equal to 1 penny. There are a few different types of coins:
The Green Sone coin: 1 Sone.(1 cent)
The Brown Sone coin: 25 Sones(25 cents)
The Red Sone coin: 100 Sones(1 dollar)
The Blue Sone coin: 500 Sones(5 dollars)
The Gray Sone coin: 1000 Sones(10 dollars)
The Orange Sone coin: 2000 Sones(20 dollars)
The Purple Sone Coin: 10,000 Sones(100 dollars)
If you want to be specific, this will be the general guide for this currency system. Thanks, GD
Spoiler : General World Details :
Darath
- Sabolin - The capital city. Holds the Castle of Grathal where King Thereme lives. The entire place was almost completely destroyed in attempt to fight off the UKS Defiant. Repairs are well underway, but many lives were lost in the battle.
- This is where the Tondoe Menace is most well-known, as he was here for around 7 years.
Fellum
- Tispiri - a town that was once attacked by bandits, but survived. Raven's hometown.
- Jeru - the capital city. Has at least one prison and a large lake. There's also big orchards on the outskirts. The Ebon Hawk crashed here.
Yalara

Game Moderators
Who are the GMs?
There are currently three Game Moderators:
SuperGanondorf (me, head GM)
GuardianDreamer
Drey Wilkins
What do the GMs do?
The GMs all have the power to approve characters and settle disputes among players. I, being the head GM, will also handle how the plot moves and make decisions concerning the plot of the RP. The GMs' decisions on topics, disputes, and character approvals are final. If they say you need to change a part of your character app for it to be approved, don't argue publicly in the thread. If you have an issue with any decision, please take it to a GM IN PRIVATE. In extreme cases, the GMs do have the power to suspend a player from the RP, but this is rare and is only to be used in the case of extreme trolling or misbehavior
Also, just to clarify: The GMs do not have the power to railroad the story or control others' characters. They merely oversee the game and handle arguments when they come up.
Character List (Username-Character Name)
The game begins on page 3. All characters who joined after that will also have the page number of their application.
Characters listed here either were created a while ago but never used, or briefly appeared then quickly fell off the face of the earth with no explanation. Being on this list doesn't mean anything bad or anything, it's just to keep the signups list down to the people who are actually playing the game.

Appearance: She's a red-haired girl wearing the tunic of an everyday maid and carrying a feather duster.
Abilities: Cynder can communicate with the dead and bring them back at will, using her feather duster. Her feather duster is, of course, not an ordinary feather duster. It contains a wand that has been passed down for generations.
Naturally, no one within the nation of Grahk knows about this.
Nation: Grahk.
Backstory: Cynder is the last of an entire family of necromancers. She has never had any parents. Her father was burnt alive as a wizard, and her mother got killed after giving birth to Cynder, when a band of thieves infiltrated their mansion. These thieves were, in fact, agents of the king, who wanted to eliminate those who knew witchcraft. Cynder's cousin then quickly hid her and laid her down at a landlord's house the day after. Said landlord immediately knew of her hidden powers, and decided it was best if he let her learn about those hidden powers, in case war would come to Grahk. Under the guise of a simple maid, Cynder has been living and learning there for almost 16 years.
Other Information (optional): Necromancer. 'Nuff said.

Some of Narome's only links to his original community are apparent in his appearance. He has green tattoos on his face and shoulders which he got at a young age(as per his community's tradition). His tattered gi is also a relic from those days.
Narome's appearance has been altered heavily from his Tondoe mutation(see backstory). Half his torso, his left arm, and his legs from just under the knees down have become mutated in a Tondoelike fashion. He has grown punctors(see backstory) on both shoulders, which he can move freely as if they were naturally part of his body. His hair colour was originally black, but the Tondoe mutation has turned it silvery white.
Nation: Darath
Age: 23
Backstory: Originally, Narome was a kind and gentle monk living in a small, secretive community in Darath. But one day he was attacked by a Tondoe, a creature that feeds and reproduces by stabbing other creatures with it's long, tentaclelike apendages called punctors. When Tondoes do this, they feed off of some of the victim's life energy and also inject their DNA into them. The victim then transforms into another Tondoe. However, Narome was an unusual victim. For some reason, Narome's morphing stopped at a certain point. He grew his own punctors, his hair became lost its colour, and some parts of his body took on a Tondoelike appearance. He was now, for the most part, a human, but he had to rely on daily life energy in order to survive.
Unable to live with himself, he soon ran away from home. Over the years, Narome became a cold and ruthless criminal, leaving almost all ties to his original life behind. Narome gave himself a rule. He would never get attached to anyone or anything. He was what he was - allowing happiness into his life again could only bring about despair and regret. But no matter how much he tried to deny it, his conscience never left.
7 years after the initial Tondoe attack, his story in Endless Time began.
Abilities: Narome's signature ability is the power to sap life energy from any living target. As long as one of his punctors is stabbed into his victim and stays there, he can take their life energy and add it to his own. Most of the time this also seriously mutates the victim; often leaving them unable to meet their basic survival needs. Narome's punctors are very lethal. If Narome manages to take all of the victim's life energy, they will die. If he doesn't, they will likely be killed by the mutation instead.
Needless to say, Narome is a great close combat fighter. Aside from his punctor advantage, Narome is a skilled martial artist due to his monk days. The green, Tondoelike parts of his body are much more durable than the rest, and his punctors are a lot harder to sever than his limbs. Narome's agility and stamina are better than the average human's due to years of escaping the law. Considering his status as a highly wanted criminal, it goes without saying Narome is good at running away from any trouble.
Lastly, Narome becomes a much more formidable opponent if he goes too long without life energy or too much pressure is put on his punctors. When either of these conditions are met, his Tondoe instincts kick in, and Narome will quickly become extremely vicious.
Other Information: Narome has been terrorizing Sabolin for the last 7 years up until the events of ET. He has become relatively well-known in Darath as the "Tondoe Menace", and is wanted for countless murders.
Narome is an extremely conflicted individual. While he used to be a very kind-hearted person, emotional trauma has changed him into something else entirely. Over the 7 years between his transformation and the events of ET, Narome has trained himself to repress most of his sorrow. He became violent and cruel, casting his morals aside in order to stay alive. Somewhere deep in his mind, an unbearable despair remains locked away. But that doesn't stop a few memories from haunting him daily. He has tried his best to maintain a cynical outlook on life, just in case a flicker of hope found its way into his mind. But try as he might, Narome has never fully extinguished this hope. The impossible hope that someday, he could be happy again.
As of ET, Narome's severely warped morals have been challenged. After experiencing the warmth of friendship for the first time in years, Narome has found himself revisiting old morals he'd abandoned long ago. This makes Narome very indecisive, as he cannot decide whether to follow reason or emotion. He is sure he doesn't deserve any kindness and it will only bring forth more pain; but at the same time, his lonely soul cannot resist. For this reason, he is very protective of his friends, and feels deep guilt for the trouble they go through for him. He values them more than anything else in his life. Narome is still very ruthless towards people he dislikes. He can still be quite unnecessarily violent at times, as the negative morals he made himself believe are still a part of him.
Spoiler : NAROME F.A.Q :
Q: What happens if I try and cut through one of Narome's punctors?
A: Depends. If you tried to slice through Narome's punctors with a regular sword, they would be damaged but not cut in half or anything. They are fairly tough. However, continuous strikes with a sword would probably cut through them eventually. If you had something really heavy like a large axe, you'd cut through them immediately. Remember, Narome becomes very hard to handle if his punctors are under pressure. No, they don't grow back.
Q: What are the green parts of his skin like? Fur? Scales?
A: They're basically just a much harder and rougher version of regular skin. No scales here. Think "crocodile". Note that I haven't actually felt a crocodile so just use your imagination. Also his punctors don't have scales either.
Q: Why aren't there lots of Tondoes all over the world?
A: Tondoes still exist, but they are fairly low in numbers. Why? Because they're kind of stupid and incredibly violent. Most animals have much less life force than people, so it is hard for Tondoes to survive.
Q: Does Narome still eat normal food?
A: Due to the fact that he quite literally lives off the essence of life, he only has to eat regular food every 6-7 days in order to keep his body healthy. He still needs water fairly regularly though.

Backstory: Narome was originally a kind, gentle monk, until one day he was attacked by a Tondoe, a creature that feeds and reproduces by stabbing other creatures with it's long, stabby apendages. When Tondoes do this, they feed off of some of the victim's life energy and also inject their DNA into them. The victim then transforms into another Tondoe. However, Narome was an unusual victim. For some reason, Narome's morphing into a Tondoe stopped at a certain point. He is now, for the most part, a human, but he still needs to stab people to survive. He now acts like a jerk to stop people from getting close to him, in order to prevent stabbing anyone he cares about. He is now cynical and believes that he can no longer be happy. However, he still has a soul...
Abilities: Basically, just the stabby thing I mentioned earlier, which he has to do to live. He is a little tougher than most warriors where his skin is twisted and green (his left arm, half his chest, his back and his feet). He does not use swords or magic.
Is this acceptable?
Whoo, that's a nice character u got thar.

Character name: Salfira Artefielle (Sal.fee.ra Art.feel)
Appearance:
Male. Looks to be in his late 20s. Has messy and slightly oily hair (mainly because he dislikes washing his hair). Is thin and pale, looking almost sickly, but acts lively and loves fanciful things. happy-go-lucky guy who laughs a lot too.
Wears a large black longcoat with a tophat as tall as it is wide. He wears a cotton shirt underneath the coat, and a slightly more form fitting version of cargo pants and boots. Also wears gloves.
The coat is a duster made of a thick leathery material. However, the slit at the back is pretty short, only going up to his knees. It has a zip which he often pulls up to slightly below the neck. Additionally, there are several straps and buckles to fasten the front of the coat together when the zip is completely open, giving greater mobility, but keeping the coat close to his body. Some of the straps go all the way around the back. There is a grand total of 10 pockets(!) in his coat, 2 on the front exterior, and 8 inside, front and back; along with slots for other items. He practically carries all his stuff in the coat. The coat is an enchanted coat that allows it to have more space than it looks and makes it almost indestructible. It's also used as armor. However, it doesn't really absorb attacks that well and is thus lined with stuffing (but it only helps slightly anyway). The stuffing makes it somewhat fluffy, so he loves the coat and wears it everywhere.
The tophat has a flat brim and is black in color, with a stripe of white at the base of the cylinder. The ratio of the height of the hat and the diameter of the cylinder is 1.618...(golden ratio):1. The diameter of the cylinder is slightly larger than his head, and he often wears it slightly tilted to the right. There is a small blue metallic badge with a ⑨ on the white stripe. Whatever it means, hardly anyone has a clue and he refuses to talk about it. When worn slightly tilted, the ⑨ is upright directly above his right eye.
The shirt is a Orange shirt made of cotton with tribal patterns and complicated looking circular patterns. The patterns on the shirt are actually magic runes and magic circles that give it magic power. So far, he has only used it to temporarily store magic for use. The cargo pants have several pockets on it and is much slimmer than a standard cargo pants, but otherwise, they are completely normal. Each of his gloves are black with a metal plate on the back. A magic rune is engraved on the metal plates. He has never been seen using those runes though.
Abilities:
An extremely powerful magician with immense magic power and wide range of knowledge in magic.
Salfira's main magic skill is to manipulate matter through magic, allowing him to construct all kinds of things, including weapons and armor. He can even transmute elements. With his capabilities, he can construct an entire castle in 3 days out of nothing but of dirt and soil from the ground. By manipulating matter, it allows him to do most things one can expect with modern day chemistry. Though due to the time period, advanced knowledge of chemical processes are not well known (or studied), and thus he, too, won't be thinking of creating things which are commonplace in today's society, like plastics.
Enchanting objects is also one of his specialties. While the objects he creates by manipulating matter are but earthly entities with no innate magic power, he can enchant them with magic to give them magical properties. Though the time taken varies depends on the object and the magical property, he can enchant them quicker and with higher quality than most magicians.
In addition to the skill of manipulation of matter and enchanting, he can also enhance his own body with magic. It's basically enchanting himself with superhuman abilities like super strength and speed among other skills. However, it puts a strain on his body, so he doesn't do it often.
He had learned healing magic, but finding it uninteresting, he abandoned it. He usually heals his wounds by regenerating the body matter from scratch with manipulation of matter instead of using healing magic, but it's inefficient and doesn't always work.
He is realtively adept in sword fighting; he can hold his own with an ordinary sword against a fully equipped common soldier. His fighting power with standard weapons is nowhere near his capabilities in magic though.
Eternal youth, he has the mysterious ability (or curse) to stay young forever. However, while he cannot be killed by time, he can be killed just as easily as any ordinary person with any other method such as injury or disease. He body still deteriorates slightly (though not as significantly as getting old) resulting in his current sickly appearance.
Nation: Fellum (current nationality)
Backstory:
Most of his earlier background is shrouded in a mystery. Salfira had originally come from Alia, but after its descent, he, along with 32 other magicians (and many other normal people), founded the nation of Fellum. These magicians formed the government of Fellum consisting of the King and the council of 32. He was an assistant advisor to the king and helped to construct a large portion of Fellum's infrastructure. Today, his constructions comprises one twentieth of Fellum's infrastructure.
Well liked by the public of Fellum, he spent almost 2 decades in service, but left the government when people started getting suspicious of him as he never aged. Though in the original group of 33 magicians, there were a few others like him with eternal youth, he had stayed the longest in the government. Since then, he owns a permanent residence in the outskits of Fellum and had built a workshop there. While he has left the government, he still holds the seal (ancient by now) that shows his rank. Tired of a sedentary lifestyle of being cooped up in his house and bored out of his mind with absolutely nothing he could think of doing, he created his current equipment and then left his residence to tour the land, only returning to his residence occasionally. While most of his travels occurred in Fellum, he also went to other countries, traveling to all the nations except Darath.
Unfortunately, his residence was wrecked by Darathian forces. And thus now lives in temporary houses constructed with magic (sometimes building the house illegally on owned land). He doesn't really mind it, as he hardly returns home anyway. However, he suspects Darath is targeting him. The was once an assassination attempt on him, making him all the more suspicious.
All in all, he had traveled for over a century and barely anybody knows of his identity now. He is still travelling.
Other Information (optional):
He doesn't really hate Darath, but is wary of the nation. Also, being impulsive, salfira once complained to the King of Grahk about making Thereme immortal. He was promptly refuted about being immortal himself but otherwise received no other punishment.
He carries a large amount of things with him, ranging from magical weaponry to simple everyday items like soap.
Note(11-11-2011): Till now, I realise I have yet to specify a hair color for Salfira. Use blonde for any future purpose. Blue eyes as well.

Username: Mintage Character name: Opales ( Based off of the gem Opal. I'm terrible at creating these names ) Appearance: Has two forms; Robot form and Human form. At times, uses these abilities to hide her true self. When in robot form, she is in some chao-like form. She has one eye with some lightning bolt shape for her pupil while the other eye is blue. For a substitute heart, she uses a blue gem stored inside her chest right where a symbol of some sort is located. She has no mouth, though she uses a box connected with wires on her head to speak. She can transform into human form whenever she wishes. When she is in human form, she wears a cloak to hide her face. She bundles her brown hair up most of the time, and never cuts it. Like when she is in robot form, she still has her unusual lightning symbol in her eye. She hides her face when she can, and wears a black veil over her face. She doesn't hide her face when in robot form, because she uses it as one of her disguises. She is about 5'3 feet tall. Age: Unknown Nation: Used to live in Fellum, but moved to Yalara after a trade with her companion, Tortos. Abilities: As said before, Opales can transform from robot to human/human to robot at any time. When in both forms, she can predict the future when covering her blue eye. She used to use magic, but I'll explain that later. Back story:I will reveal everything I will not reveal everything, but here is some of it...
When she was a young girl, she practiced magic in Fellum. She loved it. She would do anything to be a wizard. She would practice day until night until he hands grew sore. But one day something went wrong, something terrible happened.
One day when she went to the woods of Fellum to practice, she accidentally zapped a frog. The frog grew into a huge creature, and rampaged across the nation. She tried to stop it, but it destroyed a third of Fellum, and most of her village. Eventually a wizard took the beast down. The wizard looked at Opales with a stern look and told her something that devastated her. It tore her career apart. All of her hard work, into dust.
" What have you done? Why have you done this? You'll never become a true wizard!" the wizard questioned. Apparently, that wizard was her father. He was one of the best wizards in Fellum. She looked up to him, and trained for years. After she heard what her father had said, she ran away to another nation and was never seen in Fellum again. After her dissapearance, she had moved to Yalara to start a new life. To hide her personality, she wore a cloak and a black veil to hide her face. She lived a lonely, non-magic life for 20 years. Until someone who completely changed her life came into Yalara... Character name: Tortos Appearance: A fairy with wings printed with a butterfly pattern. Has no eyes, face or anything. The only thing he wears is a swirly pattern of some sort. Abilities: Can grant other wishes and give powers to those who are in need. To achieve one wish from Tortos you must trade him for one of the powers you already have. Tends to be great at lying. Nation: Moved from the Unknown into Yalara Age: 1,000,028 years Back story: When Opales finds Tortos on the street abandoned, Opales takes him to a cave where he can be safe. Tortos is thankful for Opales help, and gives her one wish. Opales wishes for the power to change into a disguise in which no one can see her true identity, perhaps maybe a robot. Tortos somehow grants her wish, but takes Opales useless magic powers while in the process. Opales amazed with her robot form doesn't realize Tortos took her powers and thanks him and runs about happily. Tortos helps Opales every once in awhile and teams up with her.
This is my first RP I've ever joined, so I might not understand it at first. Sorry, I kinda rushed the back stories a bit...

Username: GuardianDreamer
Character name: Ewyn.
Appearance: Messy-ish red hair, dark eyes. Almost always wearing mage robes, and a book in hand. Very young.(14-16) Is extremely short for his age, though he doesn't seem to mind. Wears black boots at all times, which were given to him by his parents. His dark purple robes cover him completely, and it seems as though he's covered by one outfit, which is entirely dark purple. He wears many layers under that though. His hair usually obscures one of his eyes. Almost always carrying a book, usually a specific one that's black in color. He has grey eyes that have a certain wisdom to them, yet at the same time, have a certain strangeness and innocence.
Extremely pale due to being from Jopo. Never looks bothered by anything. When thinking about something, he closes his eyes and smiles, looking very patient and kind. His hair usually obscures both his eyes somewhat when he does this, though not all the time. Never seems to show much emotion, and is never excited about anything or alarmed by anything. No matter the situation, he continues to have a calm expression. In general, any changes to his expression are very subtle.
Spoiler : Sprite :
Abilities: Very good with Dark magic, but is physically very weak. Fairly fast, useful for getting out of the way of other magic.
Nation: Jopo
Backstory: Ewyn was raised in Jopo by his parents, both of which he's somewhat distant from. Ewyn's parents wanted him to become a great mage, so he often spent a lot of time studying magic, which paid off. The bad thing about this was that he rarely socialized with people his age, so he's rather awkward at starting conversations. He does show great respect to his elders however. His belief in life is to simply live it, and travel the world to find out more about it.(For those of you familiar with Alignments, this basically means Ewyn starts off as True Neutral.)
Other information: Has a very deep way of thinking, and often voices it aloud. This causes some people to think he's crazy, as he often makes very odd observations and mixes up a lot of thoughts.(If you've ever been to TV Tropes, Ewyn is a semi-Cloud Cuckoolander.) Also, Ewyn is very short for his age.
I'm going to save the other two character slots. I have ideas, but I'll save them until a bit later I suppose. I'll save them for when the plot either needs it or I really want to create another character. Also, thanks for the drawing and sprite Dypo!

Appearance: Nessus is a former Greek Centaur, with black legs, and a six-pack Long, black hair and deep blue eyes.
Abilities: Bows. Can also use the blood of enemyies for healing himself.
Nation: Terum
Backstory: Nessus grew up in a small vilage for centaurs, but when his village was attacked by Minotaurs, he fled into the woord, and was raised by deer. Then, he travveld around the globe for many, many years. But what happened in his journeys, he won't tell. It's his darkest secret.
Other Information (optional): Best bowman of his quarter.
I've skimmed the descriptions so far and they seem alright (Note: Necromancy is possible in this world, but it is a very dangerous and complex art. Necromancy is therefore permitted in the characters, but it takes huge amounts of energy and therefore should NOT be used regularly. Just saying, because the way some of these descriptions were worded it sounded like an everyday thing).
Also, LilGav, surgical tools like Vincent Colren uses don't exist yet in the time period this takes place. A bit more medieval, you know?
Anyway, later today I'll make a list in the first post of characters so far (though I think c&p-ing all the descriptions would be overkill).

While I am too incompetent and lazy at actually making maps, I will explain:
Political boundaries separate most of these nations. On the eastern side of the continent, a vast sea called the Galap Ocean exists. Grahk is a tiny island out in the distance. The only way one would discover it would be to almost literally run into it, since it is protected by many enchantments and souls of the dead (think Ikana Canyon from Zelda: Majora's Mask. Google it). The other nations are separated by political boundaries. Some are based along mountainous ridges, others are based on rivers (neither of these run the full lengths of borders, but serve as a guideline). These countries all border each other or come close to doing so. Fellum is in the south, a vast country (its southern part borders the ocean to the east). Terum is in the west, opposite Darath, bordering the ocean. Yalara is in the north, a small nation compared to these other giants. In the far west is Alia, bordering Terum. It is a vast nation, though only its eastern areas are civilized. Jopo is a small village in the northern peaks of Yalara. It is not a country in and of itself, though it is powerful in its own right.
These are the major nations as of now, though new ones may surface as the RP progresses.
I may make a map later, if necessary.
