Of Mages and Kings : A Twokinds RP (Interest Thread) (Final Selection is Up!)
- Thread starter RBMidknight
- Start date
I guess the edit is fine, we would kinda like for everyone to speak human so that it is possible for all the characters to communicate with each other, but as long as you are aware of the handicap I won't stop you.Lambi said:
Seems fine, even with the addition of the spear.Athol said:
A few edits have been sent by PM, mostly to clear up the info and questions in the parentheses.Serioli said:
Would I still be able to post up a sheet?
And this is mighty coincidence, since I just decided to have a re-look at the twokinds Comic...

I am well aware of the handicap. I have been reading Twokinds for a while, you know. It wouldn't really fit my character to be able to speak human. She'll have to find someone who can speak both Keidran and human in order to talk to everyone, I know that. I also just felt that it wouldn't really be normal for everyone to know how to speak human. And my character is one of the ones that don't speak it.Baldrek said:
The sheets will likely be selected on Monday, so we'll be accepting sheets until Sunday/Monday morning-ish. But if you want some feedback on it I'd recommend you to post it before tomorrow evening at the latest.Dragon_of_red said:

Name: Marcus
Race: Human
Age: 26
Profession: Survivalist
Physical description: Marcus stands at an even 5"10 and weighs just over 160lbs, with a lightly tanned complexion. He has broad shoulders and is reasonably built. His hair is a dark blonde, short and wavy that falls just over his deep blue eyes. He wears a rough dusty brown shirt, with khaki trousers and heavy boots.
Weapons: Marcus carries a short sword, with an intricate design along the blade.
Other notable equipment: A small etched ring, carrying a coat of arms.
Backstory: Originally living in a small village, Marcus's guardians moved him away from the village and made a new home in the mountains. From a young age Marcus was taught how to survive and live off the land. His guardians both being expert hunters. they used to tell him stories of the old days and the battles once fought. Inspired by these, Marcus quickly picked up a sword and learned how to fight, sparring with his uncle. Many years passed with Marcus learning more and more. Eventually time took it's tool and his guardians, fell sick. Both succumbing to the illness, they left Marcus everything. this had a deep effect on him, still young at the time the sense of loss overwhelmed him, feeling as though he was the cause, that he was too weak to help he began focusing on making himself better and to make himself stronger. He is often found wandering the lands, helping people and offering a hand to anyone that needs it.
Additional notes: Marcus is a quiet, held back person. He isn't comfortable in large groups, though he will do his best to help and pull his weight, he finds it hard to open up to others.

Just a first draft, playing with a few ideas. Let me know what you think. ( Sorry if anythings out of place, I'm not familiar with the comic )
I know how you feel, really want to be in this RP. But sadly I can't between school, my girlfriend(not so sad about this fact mind you), and Only having one computer to split between my whole family, I just won't have time. So all I can say is good luck to you RBMidnight. I hope this RP thrives, I really do.revolverwolf said:
Name: Matthew
Race: Human
Age: 33
Profession: Mercenary, Ex-kingdom mage
Physical description: Matthew is 5'8", Caucasian with shoulder length dark brown hair, his right eye is blue but his left is covered by bandages and a face plate which cover his forehead and a lot of the left side of his face, he wears a modified military jacket which has been patched up at the tears and armoured on the left side, it has had all kingdom insignias removed and is worn over a dark gray shirt, black trousers and black plated boots, he also wears a dark blue travel cloak over everything else, around his waist is a brown belt with a small bag attached for minimal medical supplies and a sheath for his survival Knife, lastly he wears a heavy plated gauntlet on his left hand for offhand protection during a fight.
Weapons: A Short spear with a metal pole, the spear is heavy with a larger tip which is unique in its appearance, as the tip of the blade is followed downward it flares out in a fire like shape with several sharp, hook like points sticking out, the edge is plain silver while the centre is darkened with an ornate pattern containing several symbols from an old language and another which seems more like a family crest, Matthew usually wields it with one hand.
Other notable equipment: a small medical kit and survival knife.
Backstory: Matthew isn't aware of his past beyond 2 years ago, he was supposedly found on a battlefield and brought away from the fighting having suffered near fatal wounds, his apparent rescuer was an old Keidran who said he was repaying a debt to Matthew for freeing him 13 years ago. The Keidran told Matthew his name and as much of his past as the old one knew, Matthew had been a mage for the kingdom, serving under a man who held ideals of human superiority and led a revolt against the rest of the country and waging war on the Northern plain.
Matthew had been a part of it, although not of his own will, he had freed the Keidran along with a few others and had been severely punished by his superior for it, being made an effective slave to the corrupt man by the same power that held the slaves in check, over the years he had been forced to kill many people with his power, earning himself a reputation as a cold killer, however, despite any power this revolt had it inevitably fell to greater numbers, but before the end 2 years ago his superior gave him the order to use the forbidden magic.
The resulting destruction was great, causing countless deaths, but like all men who turn to it, he had no control, the Black mana ran rampant for a time, devouring whatever there was to devour, including the collar that bound Matthew to the will of his unwanted master, once his chains were gone, his will returned and the black mana, vanished, leaving Matthew lying in field of corpses, his mind effectively broken.
The recovery made by Matthew was a lucky one considering the time the mana was active for, though he may have received physical damage and lost his memories among other things the fact remained he was alive, he spent a year recovering from internal damage, during which the Keidran who had saved him passed away, leaving Matthew alone in a land unknown to him, after recovering, he collected his belongings including an old military uniform that had been partially torn up, and a spear which seemed familiar to Matthew.
Having retrieved his belongings, he left to wander the land in search of a purpose where he ended up a mercenary for hire, he did the jobs presented to him in each settlement until there was either no work or he was recognised for who he had been by a traveller from the kingdom, whereupon he left to the next town and has continued wandering for the past year, his wandering leading him to the Port city of median where he searches for more work.
Additional notes: Matthew will mostly seem rather cold in certain situations, as if he possessed no emotion, he has a certain look in his eye as if he's missing a vital part of himself.
List of spells:
- Air cutter: Using his spear Matthew changes gathered mana into a rotating disk of wind with enough speed to cut through most things, once ready the cutter is thrown as a projectile.
- Ferrous Vines: Matthew uses mana to manipulate the metal plates attached to his clothing, forming 3 long chains (2 from the jacket plating and one from the gauntlet.) to enhance his fighting ability, the chains are usually used to bind, attack and defend against multiple foes but has other miscellaneous uses.
- Sonic Strike: By manipulating mana in a certain way Matthew can use it to perform a high speed piercing strike over a fair distance at the speed of sound, allowing him to plough through up to 3 enemies on a thin line, this ability does require a short time to charge before being let loose, creating a small delay between the line up and the actual strike.
- Mana Spire: Matthew draws mana and infuses it into his spear, changing it into a stronger and lighter weapon capable of discharging mana in destructive bursts, while this is active the spear can do no damage to Matthew himself due to a forger's link, the mana inside the spear may also make it possible to block certain magic on contact with the spear itself, naturally limited to anything with a small enough contact zone, after losing his memory and the two years that followed this is the only spell Matthew has yet to learn again.

Finally sorted, thank you to both GMs for their help with ironing out any problems, looking forward to the results of the selection.
EDIT: GAH! another typo, fixed. -_-;
On a spur of the moment, my whimsy has guided me to join this RP. I hope I ain't too late to get in...
Name: Jae Windross
Race: Human
Age: 15
Profession: Unemployed (aspiring musician)
Physical description: Jae is tall for his age and lanky; he is roughly 5'8'' tall, and clothing has a tendency to hang off him due to his skinny frame. He has messy brown hair coming down floppily over both eyes,
He typically wears a plain white shirt a few sizes too big for him and baggy blue knee-length shorts.
Weapons: Metal gauntlets covering only the back of the hand and the top joint of the fingers, with 10-inch-long metal claws coming out of the knuckles.
Other notable equipment: A beaten lute he's carried with him since he was 9, and a length of rope wrapped diagonally around his chest like a sash, "'cause you never know when you're gonna need some rope".
Backstory: Jae grew up in an orphanage and suffered from chronic depression as a youth; the housemasters were cruel and uncaring, the other children thought it was fun to kick him and spit in his hair and there wasn't anything in the world that was really worth living for.
The only times Jae ever felt happy as a child was when the traveling bards of the time came and performed in the Meidan city square. He'd sneak out to watch them play; getting caught wasn't much of an issue, as the heads of the orphanage didn't particularly care if any of their youngsters ran out and got caught under the wheels of a wagon, and as such they didn't take much notice when Jae nabbed a length of rope out of the store-room and made his way out into the world.
He got by by playing; he'd adopted a dusty old lute from one of his heroes, who had replaced his old one with a much sleeker model and generously donated the older instrument to the young aspiring bard. Jae taught himself by ear; he wasn't great, but he was improving, and the playing - combined with his natural charm - was enough to earn him a lump of bread to get by on every day.
At some point during his 14th year, Jae was approached by the owner of an inn and offered a permanent gig; he'd play during the day and attract them customers, and in return they set him up with a place to sleep and a meal every day. Naturally this wasn't ideal for the ambitious young Jae, who strived to be out in the world spreading his craft, but he told himself this was merely a stepping-stone along the road to fame and greatness. As soon as some ragtag band of adventurers arrived in the tavern, he'd don those awesome claw-things he'd nabbed when that mercenary booked out and left them behind in his room, declare his intentions to be an explorer of the world and order them to take him with them.
Additional notes: Jae dreams of being a renowned musician, and has made it his goal to travel the world, showing people all across the globe how amazing and brilliant he is.
Jae only speaks human; he knows a few songs in other languages, but he doesn't understand what the words actually mean.

<spoiler=Matrim the Cleric>Name: Matrim Cauthon
Race: Human.
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Profession: Cleric.
Type of Magic: Healing Magic, with some simple telekinetic spells.
Physical Description: <spoiler=Generally what he looks like>http://th00.deviantart.net/fs32/PRE/i/2008/214/f/3/__Matrim_Cauthon___by_Ravyn1078.jpg
Matrim has a fairly small frame, and is not suited for battle. He is of slightly above average height, at around 6 foot, but has little muscles around himself, due to the lack of needing them. Due to his job of a Cleric, he is forced to wear a white cloak as much as he can, so people can recognise him. He is constantly wearing Long pants, no matter the weather because of a mistake in his past, that caused him to Draw Mana from the Earth, tainting his left leg, and leaving him with a small limp.
He wears a contrasting Black scarf around his neck, since he became sick of wearing nothing but white.
His hair is a ragged Brown, swept to left to keep it out of his eyes, it often does fall down in front of his eyes.
He carries around a walking stick, which is fairly bland, just a plain wooden one with a straight top so he can support himself on it.
Weapons: Matrim carries around a few very small throwing knives, used to protect himself just in case someone tried to take advantage of his small physical stature.
Other Notable Equipment: A Plain Walking stick.
Backstory: Matrim's early life was fairly calm, his parents made fairly decent money, so he spent his young life relaxing. They lived in a secluded, average sized home, buried in the forest for a peaceful life, away from the towns and cities. When he became a teenager, it all changed. His mother, Moiraine, came down with an incurable disease, and his dad became depressed because of it, becoming an alcoholic. Since his father could barely help himself, it was Matrims duty to become the man on the house. He picked up the slack, and started to do the things his father was incapable of; Cutting wood to keep them warm, taking his mother to the nearby town to see the Clerics and doctors each day and to obtain at least a little bit more money but taking a job.
The First year wasn't too much of a change, Moiraine was well enough to help out, and his dad still kept his job, and reserved drinking for night time. However, His mother's health suddenly deteriorated at a rapid rate. It became too much of an effort for a daily trip to health clinics, so they moved into the city, and received home-calls from the Medical Staff.
To try and help his mother, he started to read a few books on medical supplies. One day, he worked up enough courage to ask one of the Clerics, Perrin, to teach him how to use some magic, just in case his mother needed it. Perrin started with a simple spell, how to heal a cut. Matrim worked diligently, and mastered the spell quickly. Perrin was impressed, and started to teach him some higher tier healing spells, which took longer, but Matrim learned how to use them effectively eventually. He soon became apt enough at the art, to be a full time healer for Moiraine.
It worked wonders, having a constant medical advice to stem the disease, his family could move back into his old house in the forest. His dad started to drink less, and became his old self again. Life became nice again, his mother was at times well enough to walk, but most of the time was still bed ridden.
It continued like this for a few more years, until he was 19 years of age. His mother had seemed fine, so he left on a small trip with his friends into the city. He stayed for only 2 nights, but when he came back, his mother was on her death bed.
She had been outside collecting some food for a 'Welcome Home' Meal for Matrim, when she had collapsed. Matrim found out as she only had a few minutes to live. Not seeing any other option, started performing everything he knew, trying Magical medicine, and some traditional medicine. None of it worked. When she was very close to dying, he did the thing that every mage he had seen had told him not to do, he reached into the ground, and tapped the Mana source, bringing it up through him and into his mother. At least that is what he thought would happen. The second the "Dark Mana" went into his system, it shut down, and made him pass out. He woke up Two days later, with his mother dead in front of him. He tried to stand to find a way to bury her, but when he stood, his left leg rejected the idea. He collapsed in a heap, and rolled up his pant leg to see what the problem was. What Greeted him wasn't his own leg, it had became twisted and gnarled, and was pitched black. He tried to find out why it had happened, when he remember that Perrin had warned him about using Dark Mana, and his leg was the price he had to pay. Luckily, it was still in good enough condition to walk on, he just needed some aid.
He forced himself back up, rolling down his pant legs to cover the distorted leg, and smashed a nearby table, breaking off one of the legs to use as a temporary walking stick. He started a long journey to a nearby town, to arrange a funeral for Moiraine. No-body asked him about his limp, until he found Perrin. The Cleric scolded him about using the Dark Mana, but he quickly changed his attitude and started helping him make plans for the funeral.
After a mourning period, he joined up with Perrin to become a full time apprentice. The man taught him other types of Magic, but he didn't want to hurt people, so he focused on only the telekinesis style of magic, since he also found it to be really fun and useful.
He graduated from his master at the age or 23, and roams around city to city, finding places that need a Cleric.
List of Spells: Heal Flesh wounds -- This only heals wounds that are skin deep, such as sprains, cuts, gashes and bruises. It isn't instantaneous, but it heals the wound a lot faster than traditional medicine or waiting.
Mend Deep Wounds -- This is only a temporary healing ability. It can mend all wounds, but only for a limited time. This acts as a "Mana Bandage", and stops the wound for a time, either until Matrim is to tired, there is no mana left, or a doctor with the right tools can help.
Telekinesis -- The simple ability of picking things up with his mana. It only has a small radius of one and a half metre in around him, but he mostly uses it for fun. It can be used to fight however. He can use it as a temporary shield, but it requires significant effort to stop a melee weapon from hitting him, he can lift something up to defend himself or to bolster a defence by reinforcing the object that is receiving the force. But his favourite is to use one of his many throwing knives, to keep people at bay, hurling them at tremendous speeds with a push of his mind.
He can lift a human, but only for a split second.
It only works on one object at a time.
I would like to thank the GM's for helping me create this sheet.
I am hoping it is good enough to join.

Mend Deep Wounds -- This is only a temporary healing ability. It can mend all wounds, but only for a limited time. This acts as a "Mana Bandage", and stops the wound for a time, either until Matrim is to tired, there is no mana left, or a doctor with the right tools can help.
Telekinesis -- The simple ability of picking things up with his mana. It only has a small radius of one and a half metre in around him, but he mostly uses it for fun. It can be used to fight however. He can use it as a temporary shield, but it requires significant effort to stop a melee weapon from hitting him, he can lift something up to defend himself or to bolster a defence by reinforcing the object that is receiving the force. But his favourite is to use one of his many throwing knives, to keep people at bay, hurling them at tremendous speeds with a push of his mind.
He can lift a human, but only for a split second.
It only works on one object at a time.
I would like to thank the GM's for helping me create this sheet.
I am hoping it is good enough to join.
So yeah, hello people, seeing as the selection is kinda running on overtime right now I'm sure that some of you are anxious to hear the results, right?

EDIT: Also, because it apparently slipped my mind when I first wrote this. We will have the actual thread up in one to two days, and a link will be posted here in this thread once it's up. In addition all the players will receive invitations to the RP group here [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/view/Of-Mages-and-Kings-A-TwoKinds-RP] shortly
