Amarna: Where Beasts Rule
IC: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=319107&p=22338663#p22338663
The World of Amarna
Amarna is a place filled with mystery, adventure, and danger. Amarna is a very natural world, where humans are in touch with their surroundings. In the beginning of time, the Gods of Amarna granted their mortal subjects a very special gift. They began to create mortals that were gifted with spirit animals. This allowed humankind to transform into the animal that they were tied to. they also granted power over the elements, giving humans the power to control various aspects of nature. As humanity grew they began to form tribes, and finally kingdoms. These kingdoms were often based around their natural environments, and the shifters that founded them. The Gods also granted another gift to humans, though many consider this a curse. They created what are called "Moities", which means "half" in the ancient language. These humans have the ability to change into humanoid creatures with certain aspects of an animal. No one knows why the Gods created these creatures, but they are very rare and often discriminated against.
The kingdoms of Amarna had been at relative peace for centuries until known as "The Invasion". The Invasion started in the year 781 when the kingdom of Venicia enacted a plan to conquer the world. For over a decade before the invasion, the ruling family of Venicia, the Medici, had been building up it's military in secret. Once the invasion started they took the other kingdoms by surprise and won many quick victories, conquering large amounts of territory. The kingdom grew even stronger as it established colonies in its newly acquired territory and used them to feed it's war machine. The other countries were slow to react to the attack, but have now began to organize themselves to defend against the onslaught. Despite this, Venicia is a clear threat to the world. Not only do they have a powerful army, but the king of Venicia has discovered a dark secret. He has found a way to distort and corrupt spirit animals, turning those with bat spirits to vampires, and those with wolf spirits to werewolves. While things may look bleak, there is reason to hope. An ancient prophecy tells of seven chosen shifters, who will unite and save the world. An order of warrior monks have recently formed known as "The Servants of the Chosen", who believe that this is the time of which the prophecy foretold, and that only the chosen seven can save the world.

Chosen:
Name- Rory Alduin
Age- 15
Gender- Male
Appearance- Rory is of average build, with long, messy dark brown hair, streaked with a few locks of whitish-blonde at the front; A symbol of his clashing essences. He has deep, silver eyes, high cheekbones and a crooked smile. One could say he's handsome, but he's no heart-throb. He's roughly six feet tall and skinny, but with broad shoulders. He lives a moderately OK life, and usually wears brown clothing,worn but functional boots, and a comfortable black coat lined with fur. He hates gloves.
Personality- Yeah, let's be honest here. Rory's different. His Elemental power is air, and his Spirit animal is a fox. He's always been a little bit out-there. Despite this, he's very charismatic and funny.
Nationality- Wrotland
Elemental power- Air
Spirit animal- Fox
Skills- Charismatic and quick-minded. He doesn't really freak out in a crisis. An excellent tailor and craftsman, dabbling in woodwork. He's known to make good weapons for those who can't afford a proper blacksmith, an enjoys tinkering and building little gadgets, though he's no Da Vinci. Skilled using staffs and other long weapons, and very sneaky when he wants to (just a benefit of the fox's natural stealth and his ability to manipulate air currents). Skilled at art and design. Good at hunting (as a fox.) Fast and strong, and clever enough.
Weaknesses- Changes to a fox. Foxes are stealthy, but they're not all that good at fighting. He's got a limited skill with bowstaffs, and will hold his own, but that's it- limited. Sometimes quick to judge people and can get into a slump.
Equipment- Map of the city, enough money to get along, two bowstaffs- one made of spruce wood, the other made of light sculpted metal with sharpened ends. Hunting knife, bear-fur haversack, 1 litre water skin, salted meat, bread. Currently working on a prototype for a collapsible glider he could fly by manipulating air currents (think Avatar). Everything in his home/shop.
Bio: He didn't have an easy upbringing, living the first few years of his life in a dingy orphanage (presumably he was the Bastard son of an Lord and his mistress) until he was taken in by a kind old tailor named Patrick Alduin. Patrick taught Rory how to work as a tailor and they lived happily for a time in that little shop on the outskirts of town. Patrick had quite a reputation, so they were never short on money and Rory recieved private tutoring til' he had a modest education. He also learned how to fight with spears and staffs, and in his spare time he learned to craft things of iron and steel. They lived happily together until Patrick slipped on the ice outside the shop. Rory was assured it was relatively painless. In his will, Patrick had left Rory almost everything. He didn't have much family, and that he did simply collected their inheritance and left. Rory took up the business, quickly becoming just as good as Patrick. He eventually found out he could shift, and occasionally goes hunting in the forest outside the city. He also found out he could use the element of air, but only really uses it to cool down metalwork. He's nothing special.
Right?
RP Sample- (Taken from different RP set in Victorian London with a similar character.)

It was always so easy on Piccadilly.

Too many people, those of a high class and an even higher ego. Those that paid attention to the boy entering the jewellers averted their gaze. One of such a low class was surely not worthy of their awknowledgements. They assumed he was a servant, or perhaps a beggar. His vague Irish accent only added to their assumptions. He pushed through the crowds, some recoiling at his touch and he walked up to the Jewellers. Flashing a grin, he pushed through the doors into the store.

There were a few people in here, one group of ladies cooing over the shining jewels, and two gentlemen stood pondering what to get their wives. Another man browsed cuff-links, and there were two clerks at the desk and one standing ready to assist buyers. Rory received some odd looks as he entered, but the prying eyes quickly returned to the jewellery. He strolled the length of the shop and stopped at a large case at the back, bolted with a heavy lock. He quickly checked over his shoulder. Nobody paid him much attention. Even the clerks were above him. He turned his head back and focused on the lock, brow furrowing in concentration, hands slightly outstretched towards the brass lock. It began shaking slightly, straining in the invisible field of influence. It began violently vibrating until a sharp crack rang out and the lock split in two. A clerk shouted out, and another strode towards the cloaked boy. He tore open the case's door and the clerk shouted out again. Now people were paying attention to him. Quickly he began lining his pockets, turning and boxing the clerk in the nose when he got in range. The man shouted out and clutched his nose, blood pouring out. The other clerks ran towards him. He grabbed a last handful of jewellery and spun around, ducking as the second clerk swung a punch. A horrified scream rang out as his fist smashed into the glass, embedding itself into the poor guy's knuckle. Rory ran up and tackled the last clerk, increasing his weight as he hit him, winding him and giving a satisfying crack as the man's head smashed into the tile floor. The boy leapt up again and sprinted to the door. Nobody stopped him, and the gaggle of women screamed as he sprinted by. He burst through the doors and onto the street, almost crashing into one elderly gentleman who swore very ungentlemanly. Rory flashed a smile at the man and sprinted down the street.

Her astral projection has a limit of two hundred miles range and while she's using it her body is basically comatose until the spirit returns and they cannot be separated for more than eight hours before fatal effects occur.

Bio: Princess Juana was born as the only child of King Enrique V and his wife, Queen Urraca de Avis. Her birth was celebrated and her parents were very happy because when she was born her parents had been childless for seven years. Still they held out hope that Urraca would give birth to a son as there had only been one woman ruler of Iberia before and that didn't turn out so well. Eventually when Juana turned five, a son named Alfonzo was eventually born but died of scarlet plage only a month after his birth. The death of her baby brother made Juana's parents even more protective of her, but seeing as she would most likely be queen one day her father taught the princess like he would a prince with science, mathematics, history, geography, military strategy and court intrigue. Juana, nicknamed Juanita by her parents and closest friends was a precocious and intelligent child who had an amazing power for persuasion but due to being sheltered for a while she had not much experience with real problems. One day however when she was eight, her father decided to train her as a warrior, hiring a soldier to teach Juana at swords and taking her on campaign with him when he went off to war. Juana grew into a beautiful and confident young woman and many marriages were proposed for her but never came into fruition. However, when Venicia started attacking her father went to go defend their home and the Iberian army fought bravely that started to change. Everybody was on their guard now, and Enrique created Juana Princess of Leon and making her official heir. Nobles were reluctant to have a woman ruler but Juana with her capability easily made staunch friends and supporters but still had enemies. When Juana turned twenty years old, King Enrique died in battle against the Venicians, leaving Juana heartbroken. But she knew her duty and her coronation took place immediately, Juana was crowned Queen in the Temple of Madrigal and ascended the throne. One of her first acts was to purge her court of ruthless schemers and plotters who would threaten her stability and cracking down on crime. After that, she turned her attention to the treasury and made sure that no money was wasted and the kingdom had steady income. Even while she proved herself a capale queen, Juana still burns to take the Venicians down after what they did to her father and her mother dying from a broken heart two years later. However she loathes war and knows she can't be riskly so she has to wait for the right time and focuses on bettering and protecting her kingdom for now. Because she's still single and childless some of her nobles urge her to marry but Juana says she has plenty of time for that to happen but now has to prepare for actual business.

Gender- female
Appearance-

Race(Human, Shifter, or Moitie)- Shifter
Nationality- Venician
Personality- Faylinn is stubborn and brash. She has an extremely bad temper and isn't afraid of speaking out, even though this has caused her trouble with her adopted family.
Allegiance- Venicia and the Sforza family.
Elemental power(optional): Ice
Spirit Animal(Optional): Snow Wolf
Skills: Faylinn is a very capable swordsman and combined with her shield, makes her a formidable opponent. She is also skilled with an axe as a back up weapon when her sword is forced out of her hand. Faylinn is also skilled in her elemental power, finding versatile ways to use it in combat. Due to her spirit animal, Faylinn has exceptional speed and reflexes as well as above normal sight and hearing.
Weaknesses: Faylinn is terrible as horseback riding, unlike the rest of the Sforza. Due to her temper, she very frequently runs head long into a fight without considering the consequences.
Equipment: Longsword and a kite shield with the Sforza family crest on it, set of Venician armor and helm, a war axe, food and water.

Bio: Faylinn was born in the kingdom of Wrotland in the north to a very prominent family, but no one really knows due to the short time she was there. As an infant, a Venician raiding party attacked the kingdom and she was taken from her unknown family. She was taken back to the Kingdom of Venicia where King Giuliano gave the young Wrotland infant to his sister-in-law's family, the Sforza. For years, Faylinn was raised by the Sforza Family to be a Venician, unknowing of her Wrotland heritage. Even though she was part of the family, she was never truly accepted by the siblings because of her different hair and eye color. Throughout her childhood, Faylinn trained as a warrior, becoming natural at sword fighting and using a shield. Unlike her siblings, Faylinn hated horses and never became a horseman. Despite this drawback, she found another talent, a talent for wielding a war axe. The other members of the family thought axe fighting was barbaric, but Faylinn felt a connection to the weapon. No matter how hard she trained and tried to be truly accepted into the Sforza Family, Faylinn felt that she never truly belong. She channeled her loneliness and depression into hate and anger to become a strong and loyal warrior of Venicia, despite her Wrotland roots.

Bio: Petronella Luciella Gabriella Sforza is the middle child of the Sforza family, a noble house in Venicia. She is the daughter of Duke Costanzo Sforza and his wife Isabella de Medici, who is the younger sister of King Giuliano and thus the royal children's cousin. She was a wild and willful child, largely due to the result of her being born a Moitie, considered a curse and disgrace by most her father tried to hide his shame about it but he didn't do a good job, often ignoring little Petra as she is nicknamed. Her mother is ashamed of the condition as well a;though she does a better job of not showing this to her daughter. Her parents loved her but they were also embarrassed by her incomplete power instead focusing on her two siblings Gabriella and Michelangelo, leading Petronella to act out to get attention. She was rebellious and hardheaded, and people acted like she wasn't good for or at anything leaving the lonely child to crave praise and friends which she found in her royal cousins. When she turned ten, she discovered that she had a good way with swords and decided that she wanted to become a warrior. Her parents however disapproved since it was not ladylike but she trained in war anyway, hoping to hear her parents say that they were proud of her if only once. She then heard about her uncle's evil plan and was immediately horrified by it although her parents felt obligated to support their king. Petra immediately joined her cousin's efforts to stop Giuliano and joined the Pulse, hoping to find her worth and save the world.

WIP. A question for you all, should I have my spirit animal be a lion, as a protector and guardian of the forest, or a squirrel?

Kingdom App:
Name- Acrea
Geography- Heavily forested, very little plains. The large Eder river runs through the the forest and separates into smaller tributaries.
Climate- Mostly sunny, Winters can become quite cold.
Most common spirit animal and elemental ability- Squirrel, the Earth(Nature)
Population(Max 200,000)- 110,000
Military(Max 10% of pop)- 11,000
Short history- Acrea began as a group of humans looked to the sky and saw the mighty trees to the west. There, they could prosper, without the constant warfare brought by neighbors jealous of their crops. So they packed up their things and headed far the west, where the grass was still green and the trees were tall. And there they dwelt unto this day. The people were led by a particularly brave boy, who led them across the perilous ice-fields and the burning sands. And once they had finished their exodus, the boy was a man. And so he became their king, ruling with a fair and just hand, while protecting them from any who dared to enter the forest. The people of Acrea became great artists and musicians, scholars, and botanists. The forest of Acrea has formed a reputation of comfort, beauty, and some of the best vegetarian food in the world. They developed a love for nature, and their control over rock evolved to become over the plants and nature itself. They lived completely in the trees, even devising a way to plant their bountiful crops in the trees beside the many fruit trees. The Acreans killed no animals, and welcomed any who came, healing their wounds and providing them with the necessary food. Yet there came times when they had to defend themselves. The shapeshifting squirrel's arrows were sharp and potent, becoming master archers. Some arrows are enhanced with a sleeping potion or poison. And with the sword, they still had a few champions.
