Location: Fly on the celing | Paragon "This, my subjects, is my view of perfection. My perfect soldiers. Though there are few of them, they have helped me to win countless wars with the savage tribes in the area. Those brutish men shall be put to an end as long as I remain breathing, and they at my side..."
"Brothers! Soon, we shall dance with the devil for the final time. He has ravished this land, razed it, this gift which the Gods bestowed upon us. His creation, the abomination he calls the Paragon, is a mockery of life. We have seen what it does to even our best, most powerful magick. But we have an advantage. The Gods have answered our call. They, too, tire of this demon in man's skin. Our secret weapon is..."
Think of medieval Europe. Now think of it with advanced machines, genetic manipulation, and sci-fi robots. Now move it to America, before it was colonized. Think rolling plains, forests, no modern cities, save for one medieval European metropolis. Got a picture? Grood.
'Kay, there are two races to be: Tr'ilyani or Paragon.
Tr'ilyani are like spellswords. Most are mildly spiritual, but they are a warrior race. They live about the land in scattered tribes, though they are unified through special crystals that allow for telepathic communication and teleportation. Think sun stones from ffxii.
The Paragon are super soldiers. They're athletic, agile, and beautiful, not to mention intelligent. The average Paragon is comparable to an olympic level gymnast performing a gold medal routine whilst simultaneously beating for super-computers at chess. They have limited regenerative power, and thanks to that, they are near tireless. Despite this, they have personality, but they generally share the same love of combat and victory, some more than others.
Rules
1) Follow Void's rules, obviously. Kinda universal, no?
2) Paragon are incapable of casting magic, Tr'ilyani are the spell casters.
3) I'd like to reiterate Void's rules 2,3,and 8.
4) Paragon do not physically age. They are created to look a certain age, and stay that age unless they request to be genetically altered to look a certain age. Paragon can, however, die of natural causes.
Character Sheet
Name:
Race: Paragon or Tr'ilyani
Gender: Male or female, although Paragon can request to be genderless.
Age: (Paragon face a special rule, see above)
Appearance: Height, eyes, Hairstyle/color, clothes.
Personality: A couple of words on how your character generally carries themselves.
Weapons: Guns are iffy. If someone wants a gun, then there are guns. Otherwise, nah.
Special Abilities/Qualities: Paragon only. Two tops.
Magic: Tr'yilyani only. Flashy, potent and tiring. Try to keep it short, as in 3-5. You can draw from any source, but give a (short) description of it.
Signature Move: After which your character becomes visibly tired. (optional)
You might want to include military status or standing as well. Bios are optional, but nice.
Alrighty, I think that's everything, so I'll post my character to set a nice little example.
Name: Mikail
Race: Paragon
Gender: Male
Age: early 20's
Appearance: 5'10, green eyes and chin length blonde hair. Wears regal-looking azure armor.
Personality: Cold, calculating and quiet.
Weapon: Broadsword christened Valiant.
Special abilities: Resistance to pain, sharpened senses.
Signature move: Possession of Self
Mikial relaxes all of the muscles in his body, and concentrates on his senses. He perceives everything as if it were moving more slowly than they actually are, heightening his reflexes.
We can start when we have about four players, two Paragon (including myself) and two Tr'ilyani. Also, it'd be nice if someone would elect to be the 'leader' of the Tr'ilyani characters, and further their culture. If anyone's interested, PM me, and we'll talk about it.
Also, state if you're a newborn if you're a Paragon.
