RP: Aldea: The Untold Legend

(This RP is prefferably for people who can post often.)In a realm, now long forgotten by men, there was a land by the name of Aldea. This land was divided into eight Kingdoms ; each of a different element.
At the center of each Kingdom, there was a sword, and each sword possessed the elemental powers of its Kingdom. These swords came to be known as The Elemental Swords of Aldea. Each sword protected its area from falling into chaos and ultimately destroying itself.
The land of Aldea prospered for many ages. Until one day.....There came into being, a ninth Kingdom . The Kingdom of Darkness The ruler of this Kingdom, The Dark King, known only as Abyss, created eight Warriors of Darkness. Each Warrior was created of an Elemental Power. The Dark King then sent one of these creations, known as Shadownauts, to each Kingdom.....to conquer the land and obtain the Elemental Swords.
But, The Kingdom of Light, being a land of Purity, was not affected...for no evil could enter that holy land. Therefore, the Shadownaut that was sent there....was destroyed.
But....the other Kingdoms were not as fortunate......
The other Shadownauts were successful in conquering the Kingdoms. The Guardian of each Kingdom was slain and with the Elemental Swords now being in the hands of evil, each Kingdom fell into darkness.

But all hope was not lost.......

The un-affected Kingdom of Light was Aldea's last hope.
The Kingdoms Guardian chose four warriors to go forth and defeat the Shadownauts, restore peace to the Kingdoms, and finally go on to the mysterious Ninth Kingdom of Darkness to uncover its secrets. To discover where it had come from, who the King of Darkness really was, and put an end to this chaos...once and for all.

Character limit:Total 10 + narrarator 4 to start,6 extra
1 of the extra can be a bad guy if they want

First off, most RPGs take on players who want to be all powerful or something so I'd like to make sure no one starts off with one of those elemental swords.
I think that (at least one of) the first three characters beside the main hero from Radion should be sacrificed near the story's mid. A warrior (or a few) can be acquired from each kingdom thenceforth.

the swords are in the hands of the shadownauts and the 8th one is held by the guardian of light, so that's a physical impossibility anyways.

Yeah, I posted ahead to make sure no one did the same thing I did which was to skip past the facts after the mention of the swords. I've seen a lot of players do this in previosu RPs and it kind of ruins the play. Hey, Yuki.

Edit - What drive does Radion have to save the other kingdoms? Benevolence is all well and good. But obviously there must be some way that the Ninth Kingdom (which I'll just call Ninth for short) can stop Radion besides trying to kill their warriors. Otherwise, Radion can continue to send out warriors against Ninth and it would either be a stalemate or Radion would eventually lose or Ninth would eventually lose. There's no drive to help the other kingdoms really.

Edit - The Ninth sword was never mentioned, so we can assume that either does or doesn't exist. Let's assume that it doesn't, but Abyss is trying to create it. Once the Sword of Darkness is created, his powers will increase exponentially and he'll be able to cross into Radion.

(Im the one that started this RP if ya got any questions PM me :fencing: .)

They will meet characters along the way. Some may be warriors from other kingdoms,some may be simply those who wish to assist in restoring peace. Some that we meet will not want the chaos to end and will try to hinder our efforts. There will be plenty of openings for characters...just not TOO many at one time. Its fine for one from Radion to be sacrificed. But, this does not have to occur before a few others can join us. OK?

Aldea was peaceful and United untill the ninth came along Their drive is that some of their famalies were in the other cities.
(P.S. Aaron had the real idea of the backstory so listen to him)

I like your idea concerning the Ninth sword, Mercen X. Awesome

Appearence: Brown hair to his shoulders, light purple eyes, scar over right eye and one on left cheek, pointed ears
Attitude: Loner, keeps true feelings hidden, strong sense of honor and principle.
Location: Volcanar

Volcanar? Your character is interesting, but his location doesn't lend assistance to Zack Mason as FGM said we need four warriors IN Radion.
Location and Point of Origin are not the same in terms. You could create a secondary character just to start off (and later sacrifice if you no longer wish to play as that character). Or I guess, FMG could take on a second character, or I could create two characters. Hmm.

As for the Sword of Darkness, Abyss is trying to create it, right? Is that what's been agreed? So, the good guys have to get to Ninth before he is successful or at least before he is able to march on Radion. Hm...

I could take on two characters, The other Is a Freaky Lepruchaun named Zulof who like to "Float" as he says.

As for me . . . I'll take on a couple characters for now as I don't know if we'll be getting any further without.

Gender: Male
Age: 21
Weapon: currently bare-fisted
Class: Fighter
Secondary Class: Thief
Appearance: dorky headed, red-haired with yellow cat eyes, like to wear red, currently in tough yet light wood armor.
History: As his childish antics have always been contrary to Rain's reserved manner, the two have been at odds since they started walking. They get along when not competing. James was up for the Peace Corps as Rain was but its strictness was unappealing to him.

(how's that? hehe)

Absolutely perfect (I was coming online today to put in character info, but what you did was perfect.) Age:40
Weapon: Staff
Secondary class: Summoner

Zulof is running around Radion "Help me... I need floating herbs... Please help!" Everyone is ignoring Zulof. An old man even kicks him in the head as he dosen't see him. "Ohhhhh..." Zulof walks up to some old old man and says "Wanna fwoat with meeee!?" The old man runs away terrified of Zulof. Zulof now casts float on himself and floats to the top of the higest building and then he falls asleep... Sad that he could not "float" today. (Do ya get what I'm goin at with Zulof "Floating" If ya don't PM me and I will tell you.)
(And to the Eyes on FF site staff. If this is cause to ban me PLEASE let me know and I will delete it PLEASE don't ban me)

You would only be banned if the statement came off as obscene. The admins know that only you and I and possibly a few a your friends know what you're talking about. Of course they know too, but nobody else does unless they have experience with it, so it doesn't matter.

Edit - btw: I find it strange you would request me as a narrator and not have me narrate..

Huh?

First of all, Morbus does start out in Volcanar...He will join you all later when you arrive there. I can wait. I'm more patient than FGM. Second, your idea about the Ninth sword is perfect, Mercen X. That plan will work. Abyss also should have the Ninth sword, (Oblivion), completed when we get to him. One more thing I want to get straight is that there should not be limitations on the geographical makeup of each kingdom. If someone wants to hide in a cave, then there is a cave there for them to hide in. If they have to go into a forest...then...there is a forest there for them to go into. If they need to get on a floating cow, (I'm not sure why they would want to do that.) But they can if they really want to. The only limitation i can think of is something like an iceberg in Volcanar or a volcano in the middle of Glacia. You know, things that go against the nature of a Kingdom. Well, anyway, a picture of Morbus will be comeing soon.

This is Morbus Ambrose....

yay!

One more thing I want to get straight is that there should not be limitations on the geographical makeup of each kingdom. If someone wants to hide in a cave, then there is a cave there for them to hide in. If they have to go into a forest...then...there is a forest there for them to go into.

You know, things that go against the nature of a Kingdom.About that: Have you any particulars about these places? I could flesh'em out if you want. I've already made it so that all creatures from Cyclos have the innate ability to fly (flying cows). I'm willing to accept a lot, but only in certain kingdoms. Pop-up caves, Sudden forests: Kingdom of Earth; Electrical elevators: Kingdom of Lightning; Flying cows: Kingdom of Wind. As long as it fits with current area, there is no limit being crossed. Just so pull any random event or item out of your Mary Poppins bag-o-tricks and expect it to fit. (by "your" of course I'm speaking in general) So far, so ^_^

Mercen X You have the right idea. I was kidding about the flying cows....but Hey, if it works then Ok lol . I am in total agreement with you so far. I feel certain that however you lay it all out.....it will be awesome. Aldea is in your hands.

mits stands on the top of the cliff, his cloak blowing in thw wind. He looks back in the profile and takes the picture of the next person out. "got it" he said. he pulled out one of his daggers and looks at the person at the bottom of the hill. "thats him" mits said. He takes the dagger and holds it between two of his fingers. He throughs the dagger it impales the man. the wind carrys the dagger back to him. he wipes the dagger off with a rag. he looks at the man he falls to the ground, all the village people surround him. mitsorougi puts his dagger back in its holder the other one still firm in its place. he pulls out his whip and puts up his hood. he whips the end of the weapon at a tree and swiings away he repeats it with every other branch

Twelve, buddy. We've moved Aldea to the Gamers-Alliance forums:
http://www.gamers-alliance.org/forums. Post big ideas and plot points in the rules and features thread before surprising us with them in the RP. Also, we've started in Cyclos. But, before you can post anything in, you have to post in the rules thread to tell how you and when you plan to have your character come in. For example, you may choose to have your character monologue for a while before introducing himself. Or you have him jump out at us flailing a wood stick. As long as you post in the F&R thread first.
