Before anybody asks (if they ask), I did post this rp in another forum. But to prevent any advertisement, I won't give out the name of the forum. It had originally been designed to go here, but I did, infact, post it there for specific reasons. So enjoy! ^^
A thousand-year war reeked havoc on a world much like our own. The Order of Light, a knighthood that was sworn to protect the goodly races of their world, stepped up to the challenge to smite the evil that had risen to consume them all. After the war (that some historians argue that it lasted several thousand years not one thousand years, but that?s another story) the knights that survived were crowned kings of the goodly races, which were soon divided into 30 kingdoms (one for each knight). 20 of these 30 happened to be elves, and 18 of the 20 only accepted their own kind, isolating themselves, once again from the rest of the world. The rest were divided among the dwarves and humans, who openly welcomed each other like brothers.
At last, the kings grew power hungry and skirmishes broke out between the races trying to claim land for themselves. By this time most of the original founders were too old and stepped down to bring fresh blood to the throne, which left only 5 of the original founders in power. Disdained by what was becoming of their good intentions, the 5 kings formed an underground force called ?The Order of Night?, since the others had re-instituted The Order of Light, which was a corrupted version of what it once was. Viewing the formation of a new knighthood as a threat, the 25 other kings (including many of the elven kingdoms as well) began a propaganda campaign that turned everything The Order of Night did into a horrible catastrophe.
While on the verge of another war, the sadistic races, who were exiled to the wastelands that were created by the war, began to build up their own arms, gathering mages, knights, and dragonriders alike. Blinded by their own feuds, the kings didn?t see the arms gathering outside of their borders, waiting to attack. If a two front war wasn?t bad enough, the 25 kings who turned greedy and power hungry banished dragons, good or bad, into the wasteland as well, only to be accepted by the original 5 kings. Forgetting the old ways, and forgetting how the dragons and other folk helped them win the war, they ran propaganda campaigns against everything that stood in their way to power, often killing the opposition. Which put them on the verge of a 3 front war.
Having enough of this foolishness, the 5 original kings pushed harder for recruits for the Order of Night, accepting all who excelled in any form of combat, be it dragonriding, spellcasting or otherwise. The kings were ready to sacrifice their powers for the good of the races; seeing as how people were being dictated, abused, and executed without proper reason. So they announced their intentions, starting a clash between the Orders. The Order of Night, which followed the ways of the old Order of Light, against The Order of Light, who were a large group of mercenaries that would do anything for money. Things always seem to get worse for the folk on this planet, for the arms that were building up forces were also mixed into the fray, often allying themselves with the other 25 kingdoms to take down what they saw as the ?weakest link?. On the other hand, the dragons aided the 5 kings, who had befriended them since the days of the war, and most of them had riders that were in The Order of Night.
The kingdoms allied with the Order of Night are as follows (note that the kingdoms are named after their respected kings):
1. Udrath ? A rather large prosperous kingdom that is known for it?s openness to all races. Even though it?s an elven kingdom, the king has many advisors that are varied in race. It?s best known for it?s military might, normally having the best of the dragonriders, since there are several dragon stables present inside the confines of the castle walls.
2. Kendra ? Not truly a kingdom, Kendra is more of a military facility, most of its tax dollars go towards building up arms and recruiting knights and other warriors. This kingdom is mostly inhabited by human folk, although dwarves and halflings are often seen scurrying around its paved streets.
3. Olson ? A strictly elven community, that?s most known for it?s mages. Although it cooperates with the other 4, it doesn?t approve of anyone that isn?t elven inside their borders, so not much is truly known about the kingdom.
4. Cenrate ? A kingdom blessed with the honorable, be it sorcery, knighthood, or anything else, you can bet they got it. It?s oddly enough a dwarven community, but willingly lets other races come and go as they please. A dwarf himself, King Cenrate is a very honorable man, still to this day, and has never done anything to disgrace his name, or his kingdom.
5. Mystric ? An odd kingdom to say the least. The kingdom itself has no special features to boast, not as prosperous as the others might be, but anyone could make a good living here nonetheless.
The Order of Night is commanded by a Grand Master, who is the leader of the whole order, under him he has two Grand Generals, with 3 generals a piece to command. They are as follows:
Grand Master: Alvender Handern ? A young man at the age of 20, although a way younger than most Grand Masters before him. The young man has already mastered every craft of combat, and due to his early heroics as a small boy, he quickly accelerated through the ranks to Grand Master. A brilliant strategist, and a very kind person, Han is quite worthy of the title, and no one underestimates, or argues with his commands. He fights alongside his ash colored dragon, and willing wields a simple sword, trusting in his magic abilities to hand any long range fighting.
Grand General: Edith Grantil ? A older, war worn man, whose demeanor often intimidates those in lesser power, and even in equal power. He is a fair man none the less, and is also a brilliant strategist in his own right, although he is a little too eager to take risk. He fights with a well-crafted sword and shield, and prefers the way of a knight to any other discipline.
General: Gwen Campton ? A middle aged man, whose powers as a spellcaster is only rivaled by that of the Grand Master and a few mages in The Order of Light, and the other sadistic races. He?s quite burly for a mage, and quite irrational. People under his charge often joke that ?When things get scary, he gets hairy?. The more it seems unlikely victory will happen, the more powerful and determined he seems to get. He barks orders and is extremely rough around the edges, which makes him very explosive.
General: Freden ?Surge? Ilimay ? Getting his nickname from an offensive maneuver where he promptly sent his charges to out flank a group of hostiles while his main force came in from behind, leaving the enemy waiting for them in the wrong direction, has been dubbed the ?Surge Maneuver?, which prompted his nickname. He?s quite a skinny man, whose bald head is covered by his helmet that he wears proudly. He?s the ripe old age of 50 and is still going strong. Perhaps the best strategist that their generation has ever seen, the only thing that kept him from being promoted to Grand General is the fact that he loved to be out there doing something worth wild and getting to know his knights and fellow comrades better than if he was cooped up in a ten or office all day.
General: Elizabeth Defree ? A very free spirited woman, whose talents as a dragonrider is renowned throughout the world. She?s a little older than the Grand Master, and is quite the looker in her own right. Most of the other member of The Order of Night, see her as insignificant, since she?s the only woman in power on the high staff of the Order. She has a wicked personality, and will punish anybody who disregards her rules or commands as she sees fit.
Grand General: Glenn Grimmings ? A softhearted man, whom often is very na?ve and trust too easily. Almost the same age as Alvender, Glenn was normally his sidekick through all his reckless heroics. He?s not the greatest strategist, but when it comes to distinguishing between right and wrong, he?s very good at it. And is a very valueable advisor to the Grand Master. He?s a dragonrider like Alvender, although not as skilled.
General: Wulf Karshen - A man about 3 times older than Glenn, and doesn?t see why he has to follow the young man?s orders. He?s the least trusted of the faction, since he?s a drow elf, and all but Grand Master Handern, don?t trust him. No one knows why Alvender trust the drow elf so much, or why he even let him join. The only thing anyone knows is that he?s one of the best weapons masters in the world as of now, and rumors have been flying that he was Alvender?s old mentor.
General: Slex Killan ? A stout man, renown for his healing powers. This cleric isn?t afraid to stand up for what he believes in, and cares deeply for his comrades, and does everything in his power to keep them alive when conflict arises. Aside from Freden, Slex is the most favored of all the Generals.
General: Red Reid ? An old ball of short, the middle aged man normally swaggers, and some think he?s an alcoholic, though he swears that he never drank in his life. Probably the least talented of all the generals, no body really knows why he was even accepted, because he?s so clumsy and dimwitted. Little does anybody know, that Reid is a fierce warrior in his own right, and only acts the way he does so other underestimate him, giving him the advantage. A bit odd, and doesn?t always think like most people would, Red comes up with outlandish plans?that amazingly enough?actually work?
Profile:
You are allowed to have a maximum of 2 characters. If you wish you could also control one of the generals, the only one that?s off limits is the Grand Master?I kind of like control of the direction my rps are headed?sorry?
The generals do not count as one of your 2 characters. PM me if you would like any of them, and I?ll see what I can do. There is a diverse array of personalities among the generals so there is a broad range of selection.
Here?s is the form you need to fill out:
Name:
Age: Normally knights enter the order after finishing training as a squire so the minimum is 20.
Gender: Male or female?
Race: I don?t accept any race other than that of the goodly races. So don?t put a drow elf, or vampire, or anything that wouldn?t normally be a good guy. Just stick with the good ones.
Class: Mage, Cleric, knight, Dragonrider, etc. (I reserve the right to deny any Class I deem inappropriate)
Weapon: Staff, sword, lance, mace, wand, medallion, etc. Please also describe your weapon, just don?t say sword. Or Broadsword, or scimitar, or what have you. Put a little depth and thought into what your sword looks like.
General: Which general is in charge of your character?
Description: This is what you?re character physically looks like. This seems to be the thing people have problems with. I DO NOT, accept anything under a healthy sized paragraph of good description. If it?s in list form, I won?t even look at it, and won?t accept you because you didn?t listen to directions. This is your first warning!
Personality: This also seems to be hard for people! This is the juicy part of your character; this is what makes him or her different from the rest of the hero-would-be?s out there. Again, if it?s in list form I ain?t going to accept you. If it isn?t descriptive and there hasn?t been any or little thought put into it, I?m not going to accept it either, that goes for description too.
RP Sample: Yes I have to do one of these, and no you can?t skip it. This is where you are supposed to wow me with all of your rping might. So don?t blow it. Look at my Profile that follows this to see what I?m looking for.
Remember that I reserve the power to not accept anyone, no questions asked. I don?t like complainers.
Name: Jack Hintle
Age: 30
Gender: male
Race: Human
Class: Knight
Weapon: A beautiful elven crafted curve blade in the style of a scimitar. It?s perfect balance and extraordinary precision makes this blade an easy to wield weapon. After joining the Order, Jack had the opportunity to go into one of the many elven cities before this whole situation broke out, and visit a famous blacksmith. At first the blacksmith absolutely refused to make any weapon for a human, not even repair his old broken blade. Stepping outside of his shop to yell and scream at Jack for even coming to him, he left his young daughter at the age of 5 alone in there. Accidentally knocking down one of the hot weapons that was in the furnace heating up, it fell on top of her, scorching her in several areas, and slowly started a fire when it hit pile of straw that was laid to the side of the furnace. Jack sidestepped the huge man and sprinted into the flaming building, without a care for his own life when he realized the little girl was in there.
Successfully retrieving the young toddler from the burning house, and helping to put out the fire, the blacksmith quickly warmed up to the man, and agreed to make him a weapon. Bestowing it with the power to glow a faint green, even through its sheath, when danger is near, the blacksmith felt he had a personal debt to repay since Jack saved his whole world.
General: Elizabeth Defree
Description: Jack stands at a full 6 feet, towering over most of the people in his day in age. Some have rumored that he was half-giant, which is perfectly understandable because of his burly build and intimidating height. Fortunately, he doesn?t have an ounce of giant blood in him; through his bloodline, Jack?s ancestors all have been quite tall, some of them elves and halfelves which would certainly aid in his height difference. Under his visored helm, he has rich black hair, with gray hair hinting in spots. His eyes are a sleek icy emerald, which contrast greatly with his personality and his black hair. Despite being 30 years of age, Jack is quite youthful, and very athletic. He prefers wearing his armor when out in public, which is a perfectly matching battle-worn splint armor. Dulled by the ages he?s worn it, it?s dented in several locations, though he never wanted to replace or repair it, referring to the hunk of metal as ?ol? faithful?, since he hasn?t really been wounded severely since he?s had the armor. There aren?t any decorations that elaborate his armor, simply because he doesn?t think it?s necessary to make armor fancy. When he isn?t in battle, or trying to show off his Knighthood, he can be found in loose peasant clothing, which reveals how much muscle he actually has. Definitely not a guy you want to take very lightly. His body is scarred from battles long ago fought, during his early years of his knighthood, and his hands are callused from always having something in his hands. The rough beginnings of a beard always linger on him, although no one really sees him shave or really do anything with it. People think he thinks he looks more rugged like that, others think he put an enchantment on it, so he didn?t have to shave it all the time.
Personality: Jack plays it cool, and is normally an easy guy to make friends with. He?s proud that he?s a knight, and is very typical of what knights? turn out to be if they aren?t careful: arrogant, reckless, and self-righteous. He often gets yelled at for reckless heroics, and stands up for what he believes in; which can get him into trouble when his view of what?s right clashes with what the Order of Night?s code is. He?s one of General Elizabeth Defree?s charges, and has been in her company long enough that you don?t cross that line she draws in the sand, though he often gets on her nerves which his carefree and wild personality. As shown in the weapon?s description, he willingly throws his life away to save others, no matter how insignificant the individual is. Despite some major personality flaws, he?s extremely loyal and keeps to his honor. He never has to be told what to do, or how to do it. Only in battle or when he?s caught goofing around does he really need to be watched. He as an undeniable thirst for battle, war, and guts flying all over the place. He often keeps count of how many people he slain in a battle, and how many people he?s saved, not that he wants anybody to return the favor?it?s his little?erm?hobby if you will. Although he hit middle age, Jack shows no real signs of maturing, and normally entertains his comrades with some stupid song he made up off the top of his head, or by doing some stupid thing to draw any sort of laughter from them. He?s always been in Elizabeth Defree?s hands, and she keeps wondering why no one else wants him. Although on several occasions she?s admitted that she?s grown accustom to having him around, and wouldn?t have let anyone take him from her charge.
RP Sample: ?Jack, what are you doing now?? came a moan from somewhere near the group of knights who where out of uniform and seeming to just be enjoying their time off; Jack happened to be among them as they laughed along with him.
?Ahoy, General!? Jack slurred with his best impression of a drunken sailor. It is well known that Elizabeth Defree had once fallen in love with a sailor only to find that he was an alcoholic and really could careless about her.
?Ahoy! If you don?t stop this rubbish, I?ll kick your lazy butt all the way to Kendra!? Elizabeth threatened, but her voice was light and playful for a change, tired of all the stress from the pass week where her company had defeated a lone pack about 2 dozen goblins.
?You don?t really mean that, General!? Jack called back soberly with a goofy grin on his face as he raised his invisible glass of mead. On this particular day, Jack found himself in his usual pair of old peasant clothing, since this was probably going to be their last day off for a long while.
?Sure I do!? she called back just as sober, ?I?ve been meaning to get rid of you for along time now! Now?s as good a time as any! And I think my way works a lot quicker!?
?It?s been about 6 years! I would have thought I?d be long gone if that were the case!? Jack countered, foreigning shock.
?Yeah well?it?s never too late!? Elizabeth shot back quickly before disappearing into the tent that was designated for the injured. She often checked on her fallen comrades to make sure they were still fit to fight. Jack then followed her inside as he realized that his fallen companion had was in there and he had been meaning to check on him for a long while now.
?He?ll be ok,? she said as she put a calming hand on Jack?s shoulder as he leaned over the bed of a man whose head was bandaged from nearly being split open by an axe. The man appeared a little older than Jack, and was one of the best knights Elizabeth had ever seen.
?He?s had worse done to him. He?ll recover just fine, I?m sure of it,? Jack commented as he sat down at the side of the bed to look longingly at his unconscience partner. They had fought side by side for as long as he could remember, it wasn?t fair to him, that his best friend was lying in bed on the verge of death and he was alive and well.
?He needs his rest that?s all,? Elizabeth said silent as she left Jack alone to think to himself beside the man?s bed.
Returning outside, Jack looked up at the cloudy sky and frowned, it looked like it was going to rain hard today, most of his time would be spent in the bed tents, probably sleeping unless the General needed him, or something to that nature. But until it started to pour, why sit here and wait? Jack decided as he took off towards a nearby stream, they had been running out of water, and now was as good a time as any to get restocked, so that they wouldn?t have to rely so much on the rain to give them what they needed.

Dulled by the ages he?s worn it, it?s dented in several locations, though he never wanted to replace or repair it, referring to the hunk of metal as ?ol? faithful?, since he hasn?t really been wounded severely since he?s had the armor. There aren?t any decorations that elaborate his armor, simply because he doesn?t think it?s necessary to make armor fancy. When he isn?t in battle, or trying to show off his Knighthood, he can be found in loose peasant clothing, which reveals how much muscle he actually has. Definitely not a guy you want to take very lightly. His body is scarred from battles long ago fought, during his early years of his knighthood, and his hands are callused from always having something in his hands. The rough beginnings of a beard always linger on him, although no one really sees him shave or really do anything with it. People think he thinks he looks more rugged like that, others think he put an enchantment on it, so he didn?t have to shave it all the time.
Personality: Jack plays it cool, and is normally an easy guy to make friends with. He?s proud that he?s a knight, and is very typical of what knights? turn out to be if they aren?t careful: arrogant, reckless, and self-righteous. He often gets yelled at for reckless heroics, and stands up for what he believes in; which can get him into trouble when his view of what?s right clashes with what the Order of Night?s code is. He?s one of General Elizabeth Defree?s charges, and has been in her company long enough that you don?t cross that line she draws in the sand, though he often gets on her nerves which his carefree and wild personality. As shown in the weapon?s description, he willingly throws his life away to save others, no matter how insignificant the individual is. Despite some major personality flaws, he?s extremely loyal and keeps to his honor. He never has to be told what to do, or how to do it. Only in battle or when he?s caught goofing around does he really need to be watched. He as an undeniable thirst for battle, war, and guts flying all over the place. He often keeps count of how many people he slain in a battle, and how many people he?s saved, not that he wants anybody to return the favor?it?s his little?erm?hobby if you will. Although he hit middle age, Jack shows no real signs of maturing, and normally entertains his comrades with some stupid song he made up off the top of his head, or by doing some stupid thing to draw any sort of laughter from them. He?s always been in Elizabeth Defree?s hands, and she keeps wondering why no one else wants him. Although on several occasions she?s admitted that she?s grown accustom to having him around, and wouldn?t have let anyone take him from her charge.
RP Sample: ?Jack, what are you doing now?? came a moan from somewhere near the group of knights who where out of uniform and seeming to just be enjoying their time off; Jack happened to be among them as they laughed along with him.
?Ahoy, General!? Jack slurred with his best impression of a drunken sailor. It is well known that Elizabeth Defree had once fallen in love with a sailor only to find that he was an alcoholic and really could careless about her.
?Ahoy! If you don?t stop this rubbish, I?ll kick your lazy butt all the way to Kendra!? Elizabeth threatened, but her voice was light and playful for a change, tired of all the stress from the pass week where her company had defeated a lone pack about 2 dozen goblins.
?You don?t really mean that, General!? Jack called back soberly with a goofy grin on his face as he raised his invisible glass of mead. On this particular day, Jack found himself in his usual pair of old peasant clothing, since this was probably going to be their last day off for a long while.
?Sure I do!? she called back just as sober, ?I?ve been meaning to get rid of you for along time now! Now?s as good a time as any! And I think my way works a lot quicker!?
?It?s been about 6 years! I would have thought I?d be long gone if that were the case!? Jack countered, foreigning shock.
?Yeah well?it?s never too late!? Elizabeth shot back quickly before disappearing into the tent that was designated for the injured. She often checked on her fallen comrades to make sure they were still fit to fight. Jack then followed her inside as he realized that his fallen companion had was in there and he had been meaning to check on him for a long while now.
?He?ll be ok,? she said as she put a calming hand on Jack?s shoulder as he leaned over the bed of a man whose head was bandaged from nearly being split open by an axe. The man appeared a little older than Jack, and was one of the best knights Elizabeth had ever seen.
?He?s had worse done to him. He?ll recover just fine, I?m sure of it,? Jack commented as he sat down at the side of the bed to look longingly at his unconscience partner. They had fought side by side for as long as he could remember, it wasn?t fair to him, that his best friend was lying in bed on the verge of death and he was alive and well.
?He needs his rest that?s all,? Elizabeth said silent as she left Jack alone to think to himself beside the man?s bed.
Returning outside, Jack looked up at the cloudy sky and frowned, it looked like it was going to rain hard today, most of his time would be spent in the bed tents, probably sleeping unless the General needed him, or something to that nature. But until it started to pour, why sit here and wait? Jack decided as he took off towards a nearby stream, they had been running out of water, and now was as good a time as any to get restocked, so that they wouldn?t have to rely so much on the rain to give them what they needed.
