This is, quite simply, a cut-and-dried fantasy RPG. The fighting system is based off of GM discretion - that is, the more well thought out and skillfully articulated your move is, the more planning you have put into it, will determine whether or not you succeed. Creativity and logic - not dicerolls and math - will be the deciding factors in this RPG.

I will only accept four people - one warrior, one mage, one ranger, and one rogue - and you will all work together to make your way through what I hope to be an engaging, thought-provoking plot.

Have fun.

Name: [Fairly obvious, but your character must have both a given name and a surname - that is, first and last. Both must fit a fantasy setting; there will be more Elronds than Johns.]
Gender: [Male or female, quite simple really.]
Age: [Your character must be at least 16 years of age, and cannot be more than 32 or so. Anyone younger wouldn't be going on a quest, and anyone older would likely be a veteran of several quests.]
----------
Appearance: [At least four sentences written in passable english. Use specific numbers for height and weight or I will add them myself, and you may not be happy with them.]
Race: [Human, Elf, Half-Elf, Dwarf, or Half-Orc. It is assumed that half-elves and half-orcs are also half-humans, because anything else would be... strange, given the size of dwarves and the hatred between elves and orcs.]
Class: [Warrior, Mage, Ranger, or Rogue. I will only be accepting one of each.]

@blk2860:

Name: Nicholas Blivio
Gender: Male
Age: 24
----------
Appearance: Nicholas is 6'4" tall and 143 lbs in weight, has jet black hair, and boasts lots of scars. He has green eyes, and tannish skin. He is pretty sweaty, and has bruises on his fists. He has a lot of physical wounds and has a bit of stubble.
Race: Human
Class: Warrior
----------
Inventory:
- n/a
Skills:
- Rage I [increases strength by 50% for 10 seconds; 50 second cooldown]
----------
Equipped:
- Jagged Iron Shortword [3 feet long, 2 inches wide]
- Worn Leather Buckler [1 foot diameter]

It's good. Nicholas is one of those names which works both in modern and fantastical settings, oddly enough, at least for a human. Welcome to the RPG.

As mentioned, we'll begin as soon as a Ranger is accepted.

Name: Arashi Kouken
Gender: Male
Age: 24
----------
Appearance: Tall, muscular, and swarthy, Arashi is every inch the ranger. Though older than his usual companions, Arashi is in the prime of his youth and is proud to show it-- six and a half feet tall, he's an even two hundred pounds. Despite his relatively youthful age, Arashiâs hair is an unruly shock of white that he doesnât even bother trying to keep under control. His standard outfit consists of something that almost appears to be a ninja uniform, colored matte black-- certainly not something one would wear to a party, but more than practical for Arashi's usual work.

Honestly? Your application is among the best so far, but the first three "sentences" are actually fragments. Also a 7', 140 lb humanoid would be... incredibly thin. To put it in context, that's way underweight even for a male of only 5'10".

I am going to accept Kestral because his application is fully correct, but if you'd like to be informed upon the death of a party member, I shall be glad to put you on a "standby list" of sorts.

Elves and humans have had their bouts throughout history, but on the whole, they're closer than most of the other sentient races, and are surely the closer of the three noble races, since dwarves tend to keep to themselves. It was a matter of natural progression that elves and humans would someday begin to fall in love and mate, populating the world with a curiously nonsterile race known as half-elves, who rarely mate and hence rarely produce even more diluted races.

But the fact remains that elves and humans got on relatively well and eventually did mate, so it was only logical progression that led to the first and, in fact, the only major elf-human city on Earth.

Aucienwood - named in honor of its founder and first king, the half-elf Lucius Aucien - stands tall and proud in the center of the sprawling, aptly named Aucienwood Forest. Its architecture is an obvious blend of the natural, flowing designs so common in elvish cities and the stout, fortress-like style of human structures. Oftentimes imposing stone structures at ground level, carefully sanded smooth and generally held in place by nothing more than complex interlocking patterns, give way to sturdy wooden buildings in the canopy, resting heavily on thick branches and the occasional stilt for support.

Despite the city's beauty, however, and its mixed elven-human guards, its inhabitants occasionally face the threat of rowdy foreigners who do not appreciate its eccentricly elegant mix of cultural influences. It just so happens that the day a half dozen rabble-rousing half-orcs came romping through, two brave human adventurers and two skillful elven adventurers were close at hand.

Storm Keket Dragon, an elven rogue, appeared alongside Velevan Windcaller, an elven mage, from between two adjacent stone structures, their arrival together completely coincidental but their reason for arriving the same: their fine elven senses allowed them to hear the half-orcs' raucous laughter and clumsy footsteps from a ways off. Nearby, on the opposite side of what some would call a street from the two elves (for it was really just an unusally wide path between the structures of Aucienwood), Nicholas Blivio, a human warrior, appeared moments later, also drawn by the laughter and stomping footsteps.

It was Arashi Kouken, however - a human ranger - who had been at the scene first, in what most rangers would consider an uncomfortably exposed position atop a sloping roof of interwoven stone and branches behind the band of half-orcs. Their drunken revelry allowed him a stealthy approach, and he had most certainly taken it.

DAMAGES:

- Half-Orc A: Intoxicated.
- Half-Orc B: More intoxicated.
- Half-Orc C: Even more intoxicated.
- Half-Orc D: So intoxicated he can't count his noses.
- Half-Orc E: You don't even want to know how intoxicated he is.
- Half-Orc F: Dead sober. By which I mean really freaking intoxicated.

- Storm Keket Dragon: Elegant but dangerous, much like the snake that strikes even as it is admired.
- Velevan Windcaller: Wise beyond his years, capable of putting a powerful mind into a powerful position.
- Nicholas Blivio: Bravery and a strong sword arm is everything an up-and-coming warrior really needs.
- Arashi Kouken: A strikingly handsome devil wearing black and standing on a rooftop. 'Nuff said.


***

[Were those completely stupid, irrelevant damages necessary? They were, because I felt like writing them at the time. Anyways, you may begin battling - yes, I started you off in a 4-on-6 battle, shoot me, at least your opponents are unarmed - but remember that death is a very real possibility. I hope that you learn quickly. Be creative, think fast, and never stop being brutal. You have 24 hours to make your first moves, and then I will post, skipping anyone who has neglected to post.]

Arashi smiled thinly, not bothering to conceal himself on the roof. Dangerous? Possibly. But Arashi was confident in his skills... and in his dislike of orcs.

But Arashi was nothing if not fair, and his targets hadn't killed anyone yet-- or done anything, aside from get drunk and annoy a certain ranger. So as he drew back his bow, aiming carefully [Aim skill used], he sighted not for the first half-orc's eyes or heart, but for his knee.

And he fired, again and again. Each half-orc got an arrow to the knee, and an arrow to the other knee if they still felt like causing trouble after he put them down.

I try to sneak up on the nearest half-orc and strike two week points.

That fits me more then I'm willing to admit when I am role playing as Storm.

Thank you for the offer to put me on a stand by list. I'm not the best on appearances, and appreciate the feed back. I wish you luck on the success of your forum game.

[@Mort_Kawasaki: I shall add you to the standby list as well. The idea of a second quest is an intriguing one, since there does seem to be more than enough interest, but I wouldn't want to make it identical to the first. Perhaps instead of heroes questing to slay the villains, it would be villains questing to slay the heroes? A reversal of roles like that isn't often seen, though, but it seems Garriss at least would be in favor.]

[@Garriss: I shall add you to the standby list as well. For the purposes of this RPG, I wouldn't accept a full-blooded Orc anyways (the stereotypes of high fantasy, you understand), but if I can get a second one prepared as Mort suggested, that application could likely be copy/pasted as is, since I doubt the character sheet would be changed.]

[@DarthNerd: You have been added to the list. Thank you for applying.]

[@The general public: Because I will not actually be online at 2 am tomorrow morning, anyone who has not yet submitted their move has until 3 pm tomorrow afternoon. However, if all moves are posted by about midnight tonight, I will be able to reply. School warps my schedule a bit, but at least it extends the deadline rather than contracting it. I'm not a complete jerk, you know. Sometimes.]
