From the moment I laid my eyes upon the Source, I knew it had to be protected...thus, did I endeavor to make somewhere it would remain safe...I called this place, the Fortress of Blood-for the very stones would contain my essence, my strength, and my rage...

-From the collected Journals of the Wizard Toz

^

Well, you're here. It's been a long trip to this place, the Fortress of Blood...and only a few of you are left now, to seek the great power that is rumored to lie ahead of you. They call it the Source. No one knows exactly what it is-your fondest wish? The steps to Godhood? The Heart of Evil in this world, awaiting a noble hand to still its beating and usher in an age of light? Mortal riches beyond Ken? Life beyond death? Or perhaps merely a lure, to draw in the unwary to their deaths. Some say the Source is nothing but an empty room, the ultimate and final joke the Mad Wizard Toz has played on the world.

Whatever it is, or is not-it's guarded quite well-legions of Greenskins, undead, wild beasts both mundane and enchanted, in a place that is known to defy the very rules of space and time on whim. You're going to have to be faster, smarter and stronger-not to mention luckier-than the unnumbered multitudes that have perished in these labyrinthine halls, if you intend to claim The Source for yourself.

Still, you are concerned with these allies of yours...you're not quite sure if you can trust them. They look at you oddly-with sinister looks and sly grins in the firelight. Is it just a trick of the light? The Source's way of defending itself by sowing discord? Or maybe your senses are trying to tell you something else.

No matter. Surely, no one will betray the Quest while so many foes lies between you and the Source. For now.

Surely...

But first, let's take a step back. Who are you? What are you? More importantly...why are you here?

Age: ???
Gender: Other.
Bio: You may call me Derm. To discover the source and see if it poses a threat, or if I can use it for my own ends, a minor distraction to the whole. I will see to it that my goal is succeeded. Everyone who knows who I truly am would try to stop me, whom can be counted on a hand.
Physical: Hidden by a dark cloak, not even the most violent of winds or strongest of blows will reveal what lies beneath. Because there is no cloak, only your mind and what reality is trying to hide.
Race: Minor-Petty avatar of an Eldritch Abomination.
Class: Warlock, a major caster of offense, with minor summoning and psychic abilities.

Any suggestions on powers, Derm? Are you a summoner, magic blaster, stealthy attacker etc.

You don't have to specify, though, you'll just get a assortment of those powers, instead of specializing in just one.

I'd say... sorta like a major magic blaster, with minor summoning(Horrors from the deep) and psychic powers (mind flay, cause insanity, corruption). You know, eldritch abomination stuff.

I couldn't think of a proper 'class' that... wait... it would be 'warlock' then, I think.

Name: Renard Valos
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Bio: Renard has been hunted since his birth for the decisions a being made to live within him. He has fled, he has killed, and he has suffered through this endevour, so that he instead could become the hunter. He seeks the Source to use its power, and take control of the powers of the demon within. And then with that power he would restore his home, and take vengeance on those who tried to kill him, so many years ago. They call themselves the Sons of Light, and they are a group of human extremeists who believe all Cursed should be cleansed from the world simply for being what they are.

Of course he could have never become what he has without help, and that help came from an old man, Freman Dresga. Freman was a ture assassin, he was raised for the job, yet he still felt what everyone else did, and when he found Renard starving out in the streets he took him in. Ever since them he has taught Renard the ways of the assassin, so that he may achieve his goals.

Physical: 5 Ft 6 In, 135 Lbs, Brown Hair, Hazel Eyes, Scar Across left Eye, always wears a dark green cloak.
Race: Cursed - A human who has a demon sealed within
Class: Assassin

Is this based on a certain setting, or just high fantasy?

It's a High Fantasy Mashup pretty much. No specific setting at all.

Name: Saren "Make-Your-Wall" of Tyria
Age: 33
Gender: Is female but is mentally and physcially no different from a male...except during mating season
Bio: I am Saren of Tyria, Companyman. I've been taught to conjure structures such as walls and bridges but I have been learning how to conjure creatures into this life. For my whole adult life I've been a conjurer of the Company. We trained our abilities not to learn the secrets of the art or for power, but for profit. I was different however...I believe that we could change society itself, create objects out of nothing and servants of air and water to do our labours. The Company says that would take away all our business...I think it's worth it. The Source will give me the ability to do what I wish. Those who would like to see me succeed include the poor and sick of Tyria, if they've heard of me. Probably my friends. As for those who wish to see me fail...my Company, my government, and probably my religion, not really sure about that...
Physical: Saren is 1.6 metres in height. Due to her being lizardfolk, she has a .7 m tail, claws, scales, and other reptillian features. Her head is decorated with certain paints and feathers; right now she has a "slash" of violet paint going from her eye to her neck. She has feathers on the rear of her head, not her own but those of certain birds. Her teeth are somewhat sharp. She is a dark brown-green in colour. She has a tattoo that covers her whole tail; it signifies her tribe.
Race: Lizardfolk
Class: Company Conjurer- The Company of Conjuration, based in Tyria, are known for their superb conjuration skills and the way they use these skills. Rather than use these for academic purposes, they develop and use their abilities to make a profit. They conjure, servants, items, buildings, pictures, even people. Although some skills are easier learned than others...Most employees specialize in conjuring up a specfic type of object/organism rather than learning to do everything; it's not cost-effective.

Sweet!

Name: Matthias Drechburn
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Bio: Matthias had grown up on a poor family's home. When they died one harsh winter, he was taken in by a local guardsman and his wife. He showed that he was a capable defender with the shield and was taught to protect those that could not protect themselves. Matthias was denied his wish of becoming a knight, and so, went on his own, fending off horde's of enemies to defend weaker settlements, often negotiating terms as much as fighting.
He sees the Source as a chance, at the very least, to aid in protecting those that wish to just live peacefully. He has made many enemies in the world of crime, particularly as they prey on the weak. Many a noble also consider him a goody goody upstart that should be put in his place.
As a person, Matthias is easy-going, lighthearted on the road. Always looks out for his friends and comrades.
Physical: Wears leather armour that provides mobility and decent defense. Young, but solid. Dark blue eyes and dark brown hair.
Race: Human. Plain and boring. Well, as boring as you can get with a race that has such diversity in culture.
Class: Shield specialising axeman. Defender of the group.

Good so far! I would let everybody in, if I was starting at this moment...heh.

24 hours for sign-ups, btw-so if you want to possibly get a shot at getting in, or just reserve a spot on the waitlist with a completed character, you've got time to do so.

Name: Jacob Donoan

Age: 27.

Gender: Male.

Spoiler: Bio (click to show/hide)

Physical: Black long hair, matted and with several strands of white and gray. Black eyes, will sometime get a distant and/or hazy look when he starts thinking. Will look a bit crazy when he uses necromancy. Pale, skin hasn't seen the sun for the last two years. Hawk nose and a small mouth as if he has something sour in his mouth. Hands are covered with black gloves but the arms might not, depends on what he is wearing, stopped to care about others opinion about that. He is ~5'8" and ~135lbs.

Race: He is a human, or at least he think he is. With the fact that he still can move his arms even without muscles and the fact that he been studying necromancy and starting to show some symptoms for megalomania he no longer is sure. For the record his great grandmother was a wood elf so he is an eighth wood elf, but no features from that lineage shows and it is too weak to have a real effect, it's just for fluff.
Class: Necromancy, more of the debuff, curse and hexes rather than raising undead, bonemancy or bloodmancy. Think rot and diseases.
