IC Thread

The hearts of humans are fertile ground for the seeds of chaos planted within.

The Father and the Mother created the world. The Father formed a sphere of white-hot metal, and the Mother shed her blood upon the world. The blood turned to steam and became air, or pooled and became the seas. The surface was cooled, and rusted to form the stone and soil. The Mother placed her heart at the centre of the world, so with its beat the rivers flowed to the seas. Thus was the world born.
 
The Father and Mother created Gods and humans, and turned their gaze from the world, content in their work. All had life everlasting. Humans and Gods lived in a harmonious world-nation. But though vastly powerful, the gods were static where the humans were infinitely creative and dynamic. They grew jealous. Eventually, in her spite, the Vile Goddess Crimson Ciar stole the immortality of the humans. In their rage, the greatest magicians of the humans cursed the Gods themselves – turning them into horrific monsters: gargoyles, watchers, and the tormented dragons, burning with the fire within.
 
Split into warring nations, mankind has fallen into a dark age. The ancient knowledge was lost thousands of years ago, and the golden ages of peace will never return. Children are born with horns in increasing numbers, and they are well renowned to bring misery and disaster where they appear.

In these turbulent times, the nations of Ixani and Kulandria prepare to war against the other. Villages on the borders are razed, and both blame the other. With their army still mustering for a campaign, Ixani has hired mercenaries to guard its border villages. You are some of those mercenaries – a small band, assigned to the village of Larensford on the River Orra.

This is a FEF, as you might have guessed. 1.3. Dig up the handbook from somewhere.

I will take six players to begin with. These will be mercenaries, hired by Ixani to defend one of their border villages.

I will take two more players in chapter 1 and two more in chapter 2.
It's possible I'll fit in a couple more later, but doubtful. So maybe?
Players will start as trainee classes.
Players from chapter 1 onwards need not be mercenaries.

Base rules:
Disarm is now cost.
Only one (1) performer is allowed.
Disarm only procs on attack.
Alchemist is allowed.
Blossom has lost the exp penalty.

Bio: Born to a poor peasant couple in the kingdom of Ixani, Santoku and his family were enslaved when he was a young boy. Having not much more than he pride, Santoku rebelled against his captors whenever possible, for which both he and his parents suffered greatly. Both Mother and Father died before he was ten.

Brought up in the harshness of the mines, Santoku grew strong, but never forgot his pride, which his owners did their best to direct to their own ends. One day, bandits raided the mine after a payment, seeking to make off with as much money as possible. Santoku was freed during the struggle, and joined the bandits. Soon after, however, he learned that they were willing to target the innocent, and he killed two of them before fleeing into the night.

Santoku now travels the land, studying swordplay (sort of) and working what jobs he can find as works toward his ultimate goal: To become a new God that can lead humanity into a new golden age.

Bio: Grant is a mercenary from the city-state of Ila. He was a only child to an middle class family, which enrolled him into a military academy for swordsmen where he showed some talent for commanding groups, but he suddenly left that school one day without telling anyone, only taking a blade and some money for the road. After a while, he took mercenary work to keep himself fed. He's indifferent to most of the conflict in the region, but he doesn't work for those for which he sees would further destabilize the region. He acts kind around others, and dislikes getting into drama.

Bio: In what he calls his prior life, Laz was a thief. He stole, he picked locks, and he snooped. He doesn't talk much about it except that it was a means to get by that became almost a hobby, nicking something from someone and then schmoozing another merchant to buy it, hopping from town to town when times people started to catch on. At least, until he met the love of his life (at first sight, or so he says). He fell for a priestess, and he fell hard, spending a few years of his life with her and even eventually marrying her, his thieving life behind him and instead becoming a practicing locksmith.
 
Such was not to last however, on a pilgrimage with his wife they were attacked at the sacred site of their destination. Defending his love with his life, Laz lost his life helping those defending the site strike down the attackers. In a fit of desperation, Laz's love stole an artifact from the sacred site and used it to bring him back. Death is not so easily cheated, however, and neither are those who forbid the sacrilegious usage of holy artifacts without permission. While his wife is in penance, Laz seeks to try and recoup the (very) heavy costs owed to the church for their unsanctioned usage of holy relics.

"'Lo, nice to meet 'cha. Name's Lazarus, prefer Laz."
"I have a wide and fine selection of items sure to intrigue. I'm sure we can work out a reasonable deal."
"If you need anything, please, ask."

traverse rough terrain without further penalty, and are no longer vulnerable to anti horse abilities. After

    Bio: Kyrah was born to a the port-town of Danarsi, and brought under the tutelage of couriers, messengers, and all-around scholars. Her parents being scholars, grew from a background of poverty--a residual of the splitting of the kingdom decades ago--and aspired from the dredges of lack and scarcity to a notable position in the society: from them, she gained her values and morals.

In her early youth, she was given a full education and a rather overwhelming sense of curiosity. Basically, everything about the world: from its wonders, to its people, to its cultures, to humanism and religion and the mechanics of belief intrigued her. Completing her education as a young and able rider, and one trained in navigation and surveying. She found merit in her life goal: to travel the lands and provide aid for the people, given that she was brought under the idea of benevolence and balanced ideals by her parents--they who had no other want from her other than to live a good life.

Along with her horse, Tala--short for Tallara, meaning 'rain', and pertaining to the rainy day on which she was born--Kyrah spent the remainder of her life from the 16th year towards her current time studying world-wide knowledge, both from empirical observation and direct, first-hand learning. She was a studious person, and quite philosophical in nature, tempered by the reality and her awareness of those around her. Her worship of the binal deities, the Father and Mother alike, was seen more through her actions rather than in her actions: she was often regarded as somewhat a shy, yet very open and friendly person.

Her journey as a mercenary began more as an excuse for traveling the world than a source of money (which she used to aid her family and allies, mostly), and to sate her thirst for curiosity. Taking the combat know-how of a combined form from her studies, she has adapted to a more...pacifistic way in survival against adversity.

Bio:
Theo is a traveling mercenary. He rarely speaks of his past and none of his childhood. When he was of age, he joined a knightly order where he would train as a horseman, noble and a warrior. Unfortunately, a scandal saw the end of the academy mere three months after Theo enrolled into it. All he got from there was merely basic combat training and his horse, Appleton.

He didn't return home for some reason; a coastal village in south-western Ixani. Instead, he chose the life of vagabond and hired blade, living day by day and rarely staying anywhere for more than few days.
