    Quaerens Deum​

    (Latin for: Searching for a God)

    Music Theme (ignor the video): YouTube - Tales of Symphonia OVA Trailer 1

    [​IMG]

    These are the maps we'll be using. They are in the same world, i cant get them together becuz its too big.
    First Half of the Map:http://www.shadesofsilence.net/talessymphoniaps2/tetheallamap.gifSecond Half of Map:http://finalfantasyix.canalblog.com/Carte_de_Sylvarant_pour_site.jpg
    HERE THEY ARE PUT TOGETHER:

    [​IMG]

    The land outlined in red is the first map shown. the un outlined land is the second map. The smaller maps are there for you to know where cities are located (obviously). Before RP'ing look back here for info and directions on where places are. The Biggest Cities (most populated) are these 4: Altamira, Palmacosta (port city), Asgard, and Meltokio.


    [​IMG]









    In a world within a world. In a Legend within a Legend. Lies a land of people. Suffering. Praying. Searching. In the world of Symphonia there was a legend. A legend of an ancient world. A world of great spirits and heroes. A world of monsters and elves, of Chosen Ones and of Angels. But the land of Symphonia has lost all such things. The Land is un-believing. Mana, the source of all life and Magic, has almost completely dissappeared. What was once a great world, full of powerful nations; what was once a world of magi technology and mages, has become a world of holocaust and war, of pain and suffering. A Hopeless world. With only one thing to hold onto. A mythology. A children's story. A prophecy.

    The Great Lloyd said before he once dissappeared from the World:

    "This world will dry up. Mana is Life, and Life IS a Cycle. Everything must come and go. Although the world lies in Paradise now, it will fall some day. But even then the gods will smile. Because there will always be one among us. One among the weak to carry us to the Promise Land. One to restore the Cycle. One to Restore Hope. I know now, as I am between the world of gods and men, the nature of the boy. The Last Savior of Symphonia. He is the last of his kind. An outcast. He is an incarnation of one to be punished. Not for what he will do, but for what he has done. His name is the name of Legends Fathers. He was once called a traitor. But he is truly the only Savior of this world to have ever existed..."​



    The King of the First Great Dynasty Died that Day. Or so it is said. Three more dynasty's passed in the world of Symphonia. 3,000 years of prosperity. And then it happened. Mana began to dissappear. The Great Tree of Mana shriveled up. It slowly began to wither and die. In 30 years the first of the great nations fell (Meltokio). Another 30 years went by. The next great nation fell (Palmacosta). Another 30 years went by, and the third great nation fell (Altamira). But one remained. And though that one struggled to exist, after a fast approaching 30 years it also fell (Asgard). And with the last great nation also fell the elves. The Ymir Forest was destroyed. Dark Creatures with Wings burried the City of Ymir to the ground, and has turned the Forest into an accursed place. 4 Great nations. An entire race. Only 120 years. The world is impoverished. Disease engulfs the world. War after war, wat remains of government and of the races fight for what is left in the world to fight for. It has been 1,000 years since Asgard fell. Political and religious hierarchies rule the world. The Church of Martel rules the Eastern half of the World, while the Sciences of The Western Half battle it. Over 1,000 years both sides have become morphed in the issue of restoring the world to its former glory. The Church of Martel now calls itself the Letram, and the believers in science now call themselves the Ecencis.
    The issue has taken root. The last 15 years have been full of agony and war between the 2 groups. The only thing the world can hold onto now is the lingering words of the the First great King. The world wait for a hero. A Chosen One to step forward and renew the world.

    "...there will always be one among us. One among the weak to carry us to the Promise Land. One to restore the Cycle. One to Restore Hope.....he is truly the only Savior of this world to have ever existed..."

    A young boy bearing a mark on his forehead was born 3 years before the Ecencis and Letram began their War. His name was Kratos. He bore the mark of the ancients. He bore the mark of an elf. A scar in a particular shape. IS it destiny that this half breed become something great? Or has chance played a trick on faith...


    Characters Needed:Head of the Ecencis (Called the Ceroph)
    Head of the Letram (called the Sheron)
    Kratos's brother (I'd like my character to have a sibling)


    RP Rules:
    Regular. NO God modding. Any cool ideas for the story, run them by me. I always have an open ear for ideas as far as plot line. Also, Mana is the source of Magic. And becuz its pretty much almost non existant, magic users will be very weak. Like if your character can use fire, he can hardly make a spark to start a camp fire. Thats just an example. Another one, if your controlling wind you have more power with a hairdryer. Magic wont be very strong at first, not until later will Magic be seen fully at its maximum. I dont want this to discourage magic using characters. Also inorder to be able to use magic you have to be half elf.


    ~You dont HAVE to pick a side between the Church group (Letram) and The Scientists (Ecencis). But it is highly recommended. I'd prefer only the main character be neutral and have the friends along the way be pulling him one way or the other. But again, YOU CAN BE NEAUTRL.

    ~~~Scientist characters only believe in the scientific ways. They dont have to be "ACTUAL" scientists. they just believe in things like evolution. Yes, this war is based on Creationism vs. Evolution :p

    Name: Kratos Orion
    Age: 18
    Race: Half- Elf

    Music Theme: YouTube - Veigar - Indigo


    Picture:[​IMG]
    Weapons: Sword and 2 smaller daggers hardly uses (Sword pic):[​IMG]
    (Daggers pic):[​IMG]
    Side: Neutral
    Personality: Calm, cool, eollected. Polite and kind. Very quite and cold in showing affection tho.
    Brief History: Kratos has grown up in the slums of Iselia, working hard he began farming at the age of 9 and has been a prominent farmer since he was young. Some say his fields are cursed, and that his crops are too lucky. That an aura surrounds him. Him and his widowed mother have been traveling the world in search of refuge since he was small. His father dissappeared while fighting for the Ecencis when he was small. He was born near the Ymir Forest. Some say being near that cursed place is what left the scar of a crooked tree on his left shoulder blade. He tries to ignor that he is different. He is cold but pleasant. His mother died of the Reptill disease that has consumed the land within the past 15 years. His only family member left. He travels the land as a mercenary now. Unlike most of his crop, he has been brought up in the roughest coniditions of human consciouness.
    Favorite Food: Apples
    Abilities or Special Powers: Intensified reaction time and a keen eye as far as accuracy. Often some would perceive both as apart of his common found luck, but he has proven both to be adiquit skills he can put to use at command. He has been brought up by his mother to learn the ways of the sword. She comes from a Tribe of Hlaf-Elves that descended from a great Swordmaster. They have honored the ways of the blade ever since. Before she died she gave her sword to him.

    As far as athleticism, he is like a Altair from Assassins Creed. Leap from buildings and Shite.

    EtherealSummoner Lamentations 3:22-26

    Name: Adriel Travolta
    Age: 16
    Side: Letram
    Personality: Shy but is determined.
    Gender: Male
    Hobby: Drawing and training
    Race: Half-human/half-elf
    [​IMG]

    Weapon: Staves and rods. He uses dual-wielded swords only when he is unable to use any magic.

    Favorite Food: Salad
    Valuable Object: The Joyeuse dual swords and a necklace of the family heritage.
    Theme:YouTube - Final Fantasy XII - Eruyt Village TTS-1.
    History: Is the youngest of five but was disowned by three of his older siblings. He was able to fit in with the other humans and he tend to be good willed with the people. Their mother cares for them but she knew that she won't be able to keep both of them. She left Adriel in the protection of a church so that Adriel will have a better life and that Adriel will be able to help people get in touch with their inner self. his mother would frequently visit the church to make sure that Adriel would be alright.

    Adriel loves his family but there is always someone of his siblings who would make fun of him. Adriel would even have permission to go help out his family and to sleep over at their house sometimes. Even though he is a half-elf, he was able to act as though he is a normal human and people would respect him. His magic practice pleases his mother to see that Adriel would try so hard. She gave Adriel the family symbol in the shape of a necklace and she would even give him the Joyeuse, their father's favorite dual-wielded sword.

    After his mother passed away, Adriel felt alone. His siblings left of their own accords.Two of them went to the enemy. One went stayed at home to take care of their father and one left to take care of himself. Adriel didn't even think that he would be the one to bury their mother. Ever since, Adriel felt that it is up to him to make sure that people would be able to make it through harsh times. The church that he came from was named Garnet's Grace and he was moved up into the Letram. He wishes that the war would end and that he can find a way to be on terms with the Ecencis. He believes that with faith, the two sides can actually bring peace instead of fighting. Adriel has been liked this ever since but he also want to make sure that his siblings is alright. Even though he is stationed at the Letram, he is still living at Garnet's Grace as an orphan acting as an apprentice mage of magic.

    Abilities/Powers: A practitioner of the magic arts, he is well-versed in healing and counter attacks. He can hold up on his own but being double-teamed can be too much for him. He is average with sword fighting but not as good as Kratos. He triumphs in staves and defense and his specialty is thunder and light.

    W.J. Solomon Solomon's Reprieve

    I'm thinking by fiend you mean demon
    Name: Will
    Age: 19
    Race: Half Fiend
    Picture: [​IMG]
    A chain wrapped around his left arm all the way up to his shoulder.
    Weapons: [​IMG]Two of these
    Side: Neutral
    Personality: Kind and caring to those he knows truly well but to almost everyone else he seems cold and indifferent.
    Brief History: Was found by Kratos' mother when he was young, all he had were two swords, a travelling cloak, and a note, a metal chain holding the bundle together. The note said that for whoever found him, please raise him for he shall do great things. He was raised alongside Kratos since he is almost three months older. He worked with him in the fields, even trained with him with their swords. Kratos is the closest thing to a friend he has ever had since everyone has said he had an odd aura about him. He was never liked within towns for he was said to be a troublemaker.
    Favorite Food:
    Abilities or Special Powers: Exceptional swordsmanship with both swords. He can use one but is at best with both. Also can breathe fire and use the chain on his arm as a fire whip by surrounding it in fire but he rarely uses these unstable powers. Also an exceptional climber and sneaker. Has the spirit of Ratatosk reincarnated into him.

    Accepted, awesome template. I'd like to get someone to be the Ceroph and someone to be the Sheron and then we can start. And we'll always accept new characters in the middle of the Rp as we go. Thats the plan anyways
     
  7. Zerieth

    Zerieth Head Game Reviewer

    Name: Zerieth
    Gender: Male
    Race: Human
    Age: 30
    Desc: Zerieth is six foot, and tends to wear a long coat lined with mink fur. He also wears black boots and pants, and also wears a black shirt to match. His hair is white as snow and his eyes are blue. His skin is pale. Finally, he has a scar on his left cheek given to him by one of the villagers that killed his parents.

    Weapons: A silver Katan with a blue cloth wrapped hilt. A wolf is depicted in the four corners of the guard. They seem to be howling towards the blade.

    Side: As a wandering swords man Zerieth allies with who ever pays him the most.

    Personality: Cold and calculating. His kind demeanor hides a deadly heart.

    Brief History: Zerieth grew up in the slums of Flanoir, a city protected by the Lestram. Life was hard but everyone got by until the mana drained from the world. People panicked and saw every person that used magic to be a major threat to the continued existence of their world. Zerieths parents were killed before his eyes, and he himself came close to death.

    After that he took up the sword and wandered the land, never safe in one place. His life experiences have made him cold hearted and he isn't afraid to kill if it serves his ends. For now he will only ally with people who pay him, or people that are willing to strike a blow against the church.

    Favorite Food: Whatever won't kill him. He's used to living off the land.

    Abilities or Special Powers: Able to control the water in the atmosphere around him. It requires little mana and he's gotten good at "Collecting" water. He keeps a canteen at his waist to make it easier on himself. He tends to freeze the water he collects and uses it to kill multiple enemies. The shards he makes are sharp as a blade.

    Also his sword can release into a stronger form. When he says the name Sepherious the blade morphs into a masamune blade and the weapon is then clouded in super cold air. Anything that comes into contact with the weapon is subjected to this freeze, making metal weapons brittle and easy to cut. He can only keep this state for a few minutes before the drain on his body forces him to stop fighting.

    Accepted Zerieth, just give a pic and age for your character. And if you could, tell wat town he is from. Pick one of the Eastern towns (becuz thats where more of the Letram base is) and put it into your history. Otherwise thats exactly the kind of templates i'm looking for. Great character.

    I couldn't figure out which was which but I saw lots of temples on the upper map so I went with that one. Correct me if I was wrong.

    thats perfect, thanks fer changing it up. As soon as i get someone to be the Ceroph and the Sheron we'll start. Reminder to those interested, The Seron is a Pope type of figure, but he is also the Head General of the Church of Martel forces. He is the overall leader of the Letram.

    The Ceroph is the leader of the assasin type organization thats called the Ecencis. They dont have as much money as does the Church, but have more land and resources (as far as armor and weapons. More advanced weaponry and better tactics and strategy).

    For the Ceroph i'm looking for more of a cold, doom and gloom character that is leading this fight out of amusement more than for duty or purpose. Laid back even. The Sheron on the other hand is a sturdy, younger asshole that wants to eradicate all of the Ecencis in order for faith and god to prevail (or at least tahts what he says).

    Side: Leader of the Ecencis
    Personality: Cold, Calculating, and Brutal. Cares for noone but himself. Cares only about conquering or fighting. Started this whole religious war for the fun of it.
    Brief History: Grew up in the home of a master swordsman since he was abandoned at birth. He hated the world for this reason. He was left at the house with a strange sword and a large cloak. After the swordsmaster had trained him to the best of his ability he left, travelling, killing those who he felt responsible for him being left alone in the world. As he went along slaughtering he found a group that believed the world was created by science. He joined the group and slowly rose through the ranks, gaining control and killing the previous leader by only 17. He has left a trail of blood wherever he has gone.

    You wrote that introduction above right?

    :D Gosh. That was a good read! I couldn't resist joining after that. So, here's my character. And well, I guess this would be the first female character to join the crew, no?

    And, out of curiosity, if the Church of Martel has became 'Letram', does that mean they now go against the original teachings as suggested by the reversal of it's name?

    And, more importantly, does the Ecencis have guns? Well, if that's the case, I'm supposing that sword-using characters like mine wouldn't be valued as highly over at the Ecencis side?

    Lol! That was an anagram of science no? :D

    Name:
    Stella Ophiuchus

    Gender:
    Female

    Age:
    16

    Race:
    Human

    Appearance:
    [Linked here. The image takes quite a bit of space so... Yeah]

    As seen in the picture, Stella has blond hair as well as green eyes. And, she stands at a height of about 1.67m.

    Weapons:
    Short Swords, Katanas, Long Swords, Claymores (Two-handed)

    Presently, she would be using a long sword, as seen in the image above. It's a plain one void of any elaborate design.

    Side:
    Ecencis (Moderate)

    Personality:
    In a word, easy-going. Stella is a pleasant person to be around, being too trusting and compassionate at times. In her dealings with people, she is particularly warm, and easy to talk to. Not to mention she is also slow to anger, and is particularly optimistic about virtually everything that happens to her, seeing only the positive side of things.

    Though, that enshrouds the weaker inner self in her that desires a similar treatment.

    Brief History:
    Born an orphan living in Garnet's Grace, she was later adopted by a wandering warrior couple at about the age of 9, and taken into Meltokia, where the couple settled down in. They joined the City Guard of Meltokia soon after.

    Stella was raised as a child to be one herself. She was also raised with the general ideology that the Ecencis had adopted, believing completely in science, and of nothing else non-scientific, like magic.

    However, as she grew older, her views started to become more moderate, such that she didn't get all fanatical about the brilliance of science and ignore the possible presence of magic, of which the enemies of Ecencis seem to believe in.

    Her guardians also discovered a latent potential in her - in swordsmanship. That only encouraged them to become more enthusiastic about bringing her up to work amongst their ranks. They were pretty much correct about her skills, and at the age of 16, found herself working in the City Guards with her guardians.

    Presently, she is pleased with the easy role she plays in simply patrolling the city - considering the only danger she exposes herself to are the occasional thieves, or in slightly more serious cases, murderers that stood no chance against swordsmanship. She desires for the continuation of such peace, but is worried, due to the bad relationship between the Letram and the Ecencis.

    Favorite Food:
    Apples

    Abilities:
    Genius swordsmanship.

    When equipped with a sword, Stella can perform wonderful feats in battle. The sword seems like an extension of her arms, maneuvering around with such dexterity and unpredictability that makes her a difficult opponent to battle. Although Stella in incapable of unleashing any forms of magic, she makes up for it with her own adroitness and skill with the blade.

    Also, she is able to pick up techniques with the blade by just watching for a sufficient period of time.

    Cooking

    Stella can cook well. Perhaps not the best, but decently well considering how most of the time she has goes to working with the City Guard.

    haha, i'm glad you liked it. Accepted =)

    The Letram still follows the teachings of the Church of Martel, it is the military that is called the Letram. As far as the Ecensis they do not have guns (sorry), Cannons yes, maybe even tanks, but they haven't applied that technology to smaller replicas as far as hand guns in this set of worlds, no.

    Alright, here's the RP: http://www.khplanet.com/forums/roleplay/8923-quaerens-deum-rp.html#post277492

    Question what city would the Ceroph be staying in or do you want to wait to bring them in Mythril?
     
  20. Mythril Roxas

    Mythril Roxas New Member

    wait for Ceroph, or do something off to the side to show that he isnt just sitting around waiting for us. i will move Zephiel about in a moment (i've actually already brought him into the roleplay, u'll see). But he should be in the Ecensis's main hide out in Sybak.

    Its like a giant library town, college town, full of discovery and science and all that.

    Not as big structurally as Meltokio tho.
