Zeitgeist: Spirits of the Times(Closed)

[Tomia]

Nuridia and Tomia, two peaceful nations who have long been allies. But how did this come to be? The history has long been forgotten, it was millennia ago after all. But maybe we should pay attention, because our world and the past aren't nearly as separated as we might think. However what if the past needs the future to survive? This is where our story begins. Thousands of years ago Nuridia was threatened by civil war and an invasion of dark creatures that threatens to destroy it entirely. However the people still have hope, for there is a prophecy that calls for two heroes from another world to be summoned to saved them. Only they can rescue Nuridia from their darkest days. Two average kids from the modern world will be forced into a world they couldn't imagined, in a quest that would unite the fates of both Tomia and Nuridia in unimaginable ways. They have no idea their role in history, or the terrible trials they will face. Will they survive together? Or will history be unwritten?

Name- Jacob Basler
Age- 18
Gender-Male
Appearance-
Personality- Jacob is a bit hot tempered and easy to anger. He gets frustrated easily but is quite stubborn and won't quit something until he's finished it. His hard shell has been formed by his rough childhood but he also has a soft side and is very kind and protective of the innocent. If you can earn his trust you'll see that he has a charming sense of humor and a kind heart.
Magical abilities- Jacob can create fire, but because magic us uncommon and seen as dangerous in Tomia, he has concealed it and hasn't practiced very much with it.
Present or Past character?-Present
Personal Goals- Jacob doesn't have many goals in life, he's just looking to make some money to support his brother and sister and maybe help out his friends from the orphanage.
Bio- Jacob was born in a lower class family in Tom's capital, Solitude. Jacob is the oldest of three siblings and spent most of his childhood trying to care for them. He did this because his father was an alcoholic and an addicted gambler, who ended up being sent to jail for trying to rob a liquor store. Jacob's mother tired to provide for her children, but became very sick and because they couldn't afford treatment she died when Jacob was only 9. This led Jacob to be quite cynical about the world and when he and his siblings were sent to an orphanage, his only concern became doing what was best for them. He went to school like a normal kid after that, and though he was popular and played football, Jacob was still somewhat of an angry child and often got into fights. He struggled in school because it frustrated him and it just seemed like a waste of time. When an army recruiter came to his school Jacob jumped at the chance to join. He was a strong athlete and it would give him the opportunity to provide for his sister and brother. Now he has completed his basic training and has been stationed as a guard at the Tomian embassy in Nuridia. All this time, Jacob knows nothing of his secret ancestry to the ancient hero Sir Duncan the Dragonslayer. Legend says that Sir Duncan was the founder of ancient Tomia, though most people think that it is just a story.

Bio- Sir Duncan was born in a small village in Nuridia, he was an only child and his parents loved him greatly until one night when he was two. Young Duncan turned into a dragon during the dead of night and accidentally set his room on fire. His parents where terrified. Dragons were dangerous creatures and had previously terrorized the village. The villagers wanted to kill him but his parents couldn't bare that so they went off to the nearest home outside the village and left Duncan there, hoping he would be taken care of. The home was that of Sir Thoma of the Nuridian Army. Thomas took Duncan in and soon learned o his incredible talent. Thomas wasn't scared or disgusted and instead was determined to train Duncan to use his power for good. He soon became one of the most powerful soldiers in the kingdom and was knighted after he saved a village from a dragon attack at the age of only 15. This earned him the nickname Dragon Slayer. Despite his fame, he was rarely accepted by the other nobles and was considered an outcast. When he went to the royal castle to be knighted was when he met Princess Maria Milena. Duncan was cautious at first, as he didn't often trust people because they usually saw him as a monster. Milena wasn't scared however and actually seemed interested in him. Duncan took to her quickly because of how kindly she treated him. The two became fast friends, so much so that Duncan turned down prestigious positions in the military to serve as her personal knight instead. Many criticized Milena for accepting him as her knight but Duncan was very grateful that she accepted his oath and has served her faithfully ever since.

Let me know if you want anything removed or changed, Tom. And it makes a great plot point because going into the past, the kids can have to retrieve the crystal. Milo will think it easy, tracking down rare jewels is her specialty.

Personality- kind, compassionate, regal, elegant and artistic with a passion for music and for creating things.
Magical abilities- Ice magic
Present or Past character?- Past
Personal Goals- To be with the man she loves, Sir Duncan and to save her country from ruin.
Bio- Maria Milena was born in the royal family of Nuridia as one of sixteen children, as the second daughter she was with her elder sister Maria Justinia(Justine) at the head of a group of eight sisters known as the Prinzesschen, all of their names being Maria in honor of the Virgin Mary, usually going by their middle names or diminutives of their middle names. The dark skinned Afro-Germanic family had been rulers of Nuridia for hundreds of years, only having one break in families until they took back the crown in the Modern Wars. She met Sir Duncan, a young Nuridian knight on a trip to the castle she did one day and the two became fast friends. They eventually fell in love, but Duncan was not high enough rank to marry a princess. Duncan left one day and eventually founded his own mighty kingdom Tomia, as the new king he came back for Milena's hand, she married him and became Tomia's first queen. They were happy and had children together who would go on to be legends themselves but it wasn't to last. Unfortunately Nuridia was being attacked and sieges by monsters, Milena rushed back to defend her home. After much bloodshed, only one thing was left to stop the monsters was the power of the Theocryst, or God-Crystal. It was a magical jewel of incredible and ancient power kept by the Nuridian royal family for generations. It could only be used once and it is a thousand years before a new one is formed so it is saved for dire need. The crystal takes a bit of life force to work, so if an army uses it together than it is moderately safe for all involved. However when one uses it alone, the person dies as their soul is used to seal away the evil. Milena didn't want anybody else to die so in secret she retrieved the crystal from her family's vault and went out to face the evil alone. It was defeated and peace was brought to Nuridia once again, but at the cost of Maria's life. She is remembered as a hero all throughout Nuridia and Tomia.
