just before anyone EVEN thinks to ask if i got permish...
yes, Ush has approved this.
The land of Ralennia. Once peaceful, though that would come to be naught but fairy tales. A great evil overtook the land, bringing forth a thousand years of darkness. As all seemed lost, a group of sorcerors stepped forth, bringing light to the world once again. So thrilled were the people that they elected to have the sorcerors rule the land, naming the group "The Council".
Two hundred years passed, and the power began to corrupt, leading the land into tyranny, each of the four sorcerors leading their own portion of the land against the others. It was believed that the Mage Wars would bring about the end of the world.
Hope shined. A lone group of freedom fighters has risen to fight the menace that is The Council. Their sole mission to assassinate them and to restore peace. In their mission, however, they will be fighting not only The Council, but their followers, as well...
Okay, I'm thinking that's plenty of explanation... Character classes, of course, will be offered as:
Thief (handy with picking locks, stealing things)
Gunner (uses guns for fighting)
Swordsman (uses sword for fighting)
Melee Fighter (hand-to-hand fighting)
Black Mage (offensive magic)
White Mage (healing magic)
Also, you MUST tell whether or not you intend on aiding or resisting The Council. This is crucial to tyour character's interactions with everyone else. The following is a list of what you need for your character, and after I have finished this post, I will post separately with my character. Please, if you have any questions, feel free to PM me, though I must point out that it may be anywhere from a minute to a week before I can get to you. I'm very busy offline, as well... And with that being said...
CHARACTER SHEETS MUST INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO:
Name:
Age: (16-24)
Class: (see above for a list of available classes and the significant effect it has on your character)
Alignment: (you are either for or against The Council. so, either "The Council" or "The Resistance" will do here.)
Homeland: {Arctic Region (North), Desert Country (South), Westerlands (West), and Esterlands (East)}
Weapons: (to answer the questions on this, tech is updated to about the days of Final Fantasy 8, even though this has nothing to do with it. And no, Gunblades are NOT a choice of weaponry. your class determines your weapon types)
Appearance: (either a detailed description or you can present a picture for us all to view. whichever tickles your fancy)
Bio: (give us a history of your character. let us know why they are for or against The Council, what drives them, how they came to be the person they are today.)
I believe that is everything. Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to Ralennia...

Bio: Vincent was never the most popular person in the world, and it stemmed from the fact that The Council had brought up his family in poverty. He had always been taught to respect the Council, however, since they were in charge of the land. He, regardless of this, decided to hone his skills with guns. His worst suspicions were brought to life when The Council's leaders ordered the burning of his village when he was 10. He and his girlfriend Rika were the sole survivors. He now has started a resistance in the Westerlands against the Council, and is on a hunt for more members to aide his battle... Especially now that Rika has been kidnapped...

She is now a powerful white mage and a high authority in the council.
Very good question, Marie. I am so glad you thought of that.
Black Magic, like White Magic, has basically no set limit to how many times something can be cast (for example, MP or something like that) but rather the amount of pressure your character can take from the magic, as it drains from their life aura to use magic. You can cast until you pass out from exhaustion, for all it's worth. I must point this out, though...
DO NOT GOD-MOD WITH THIS! I AM GIVING YOU PEOPLE A LOT OF LEANING ROOM WITH THIS, AND IF YOU BURN ME ON THIS, I WILL SIC USH ON YOU! FOR EXAMPLE, DO NOT PUT (AND I QUOTE)
No. That's WAY too much magic for a single fight. Not even a Council member should be able to survive that without passing out. This is high-level magic. Instead, perhaps something like...
In other words, don't cast left and right. Use your weapons as well. I mean, even Merlin had a sword and dagger that he used moreso then his spells. Magic should not necessarily be a last resort, but don't make it your ONLY means of attacking. Be creative, and enjoy the fact that you can fight and use Magic.
That being said, White Magic, while being primarily healing, will also constitute the Holy Element (such as the spell Holy in Final Fantasy... I know I reference that a lot, but trust me, it has nothing do with this... just the best way I can explain it...) Black Magic constitutes all the other types of spells. (Fire, Thunder, Ice, etc.) I love magic, and wouldn't dream of limiting it to a certain amount of casting, so I won't give a set limit. You know when you're overusing, and if you do so intentionally, it can result in problems with the other members of the RP. That's part of why my Legend of Dragoon RP died. People were casting spells and using damned enhanced speed, leaving no room for anyone to even make a fight interesting. Don't screw it up for everyone, but have fun.
It has been approved, and I might add we had at least 15 people on the approval board saying they were in if it did. Feel free to check the board at any time, and if you find that I have not gained the approval you so seek, feel free to report the thread for closure on the grounds of lack of permission. Otherwise... feel free to join at any time, if so you choose!
Oh, and the characters added since my last visit yesterday are approved, as well. Very nice.

Name: Jacen 'Vrix' Seito
Age: 23
Class: Swords-man
Alignment: The Council
Homeland: Westerlands
Weapons: Being skilled with all types of swords and blades, Vrix uses a glowing laser sword that uses the power of crystals through a cylinder and concentrates the energy into the shape of a blade using a sun rock(Aka: lightsaber), as well as two normal swords, and shorter blade.
Appearance: [Need to find a suitable image] ((For now just consider him to look like an armoured knight with blonde hair, blue eyes, 185cm's in height, and without armour he wears a white shirt, brown jacket, brimmed hat and brown trousers (Think: Indiana Jones lol).
Bio: Vrix was never a really social person and didnt have many friends in the world, His family had been murdered by a rogue group of rebels. He survived and was taken in by the Council, however, since they were in charge of the land, he, when old enough joined the armies of the Council. His first order was to burn a village, and even though he didnt refuse the order, he tried to stall as long as posible. He knew of, and kept secret, of the fact that Vincent and his girlfriend Rika were the sole survivors, he knew them as onetime friends. Vrix had some doubts about the council, and is searching for members of the resistance to secretly join Vincent and his battle against the council... He found out from other soldiers that his old friends girlfriend had been captured...
((Hope this is ok, is it?))

I seriously hope it proved enlightening. Any more questions from anyone, let me know. PM me or just post here.
Very nice job on Jacen. I assume you got the name from my previous post? j/k Seriously, nice job. I'm skeptical about the lightsaber, but as long as you don't make it cut through people like a lightsaber, I'm okay with it, I suppose... Let's just not get too carried away. Oh, might I also add nice effects using the pink coloration and the purple glow. Very inspired.
Let me get two or three more people to add characters and we'll start this thing. I just don't want to rush it. Sorry for the delay, guys, but I want to be sure we get the devotion to run this properly. I mean, my last RP I started had 3 replies after opening, and two of them were my own, so forgive me if I'm a bit slow starting this one...
Ok... I made the name up actually, from the Vamp RP anyone? but I based my bio along with your as a template so it should join on. The 'light'saber is a blade of light. It would cause burns and cut through some materials but not slice through. I may have my character use one gun instead. Matter of pride: Besides i've seen energy blades in Final Fantasy before.
