Tales of Efrya [Fantasy|OOC|Open]

[Miekzhemy]

I'll figure out some way for my characters (or at least some of that group) to get involved in the main plot. Though it'll probably take a bit. Until then I'm up for any interaction if people want to cross into the desert or something

I was gonna send assassins after you on the selfish whims of a character that will be introduced in my next post, and send you on a bit of a hunt to figure it out, but your idea is probably better

I was insinuating that I'd roll with anyone else's ideas. If anything it'd be an acceptable reason to go to war

ALSO before I forget again, you forgot to add the family to the character list.

Sorry for the increasingly absurd length of my nation app. I just got done making another edit when I realized just how many edits I had made and how big he app had gotten.

I hadn't even noticed, to tell you the truth. But I understand the feeling of wanting to flesh things out.

Since my character is on the sidelines in terms of plot, and is going to be traveling halfway across the continent, I'll probably just be posting once every few days or something since pretty much every new post with him is going to be a timeskip

That's fine. I'll look for a way to get him involved, if you want.

Also, I will be gopefully getting a post up sometime early this coming week

I'll likely have another post up beforehand. I had a pretty interesting idea with the tome artifact I apped for that I might pursue in my next few posts

[Nations United for Conquest]

Well, here's my apps!

Name: Gaius Leika
Title: Sir
Sex: Male
Age: 18
Nation of Origin: Stroji, territory annexed by Sophrea
Loyalty Pledged To: Reluctantly to Oswya
Physical Description: Here
Class: Dark Mage
Skills|Abilities:

• Apothecary: Gaius has helped his father and mother in the formulation of their medicinal shop's wares and is an expert in brewing potions, medicine, and identifying medicinal and toxic plants that can be used.
  
• Mage Aspirant: While not as good as other mages who had better education, Gaius can wield Dark Tomes with a bit of difficulty and the Book of Apophis with minimal effort due to his Holy Blood. Other types of magic, though, elude his understanding.
  
  Holy Blood: Yes
  Weapons:
  
  • Book of Apophis
  • Ruin
  Bio:
  Gaius was raised in a small town by the frontiers of Stroji by both of his parents. He grew up admiring his father and mother's work as apothecaries and watched them many times prepare the medicinal herbs and turn them into poultices and potions that the villagers relied on for their sicknesses. Everyday, the couple would take upon themselves the responsibility of teaching Gaius about what type of planta grow when and where, how can they be used and if they are safe for human consumption. They also took upon themselves the rsponsibility of teaching Gaius the texts of the Book of Apophis and as to why they are guarding it and keeping it a secret from other people.
  
  Then came the invasion of the Kingdom of Sophrea. They were simply unlucky that their village was one of the territories that the kingdom took over. The men of the village fought back, and so did his father, while Gaius and his mother hid within the apothecary shop with the Holy Relic. One of the soldiers found their way inside the shop and his mother had no other choice but to use the Tome to protect themselves. Gaius' mother was sadly not the one who inherited Phelga's bloodline, it was her husband, and thus her life was slowly claimed by the Dark Tome in the next years. His father was among the dead after the village surrendered. Gaius and his mother were then forced to adapt to this new life until ten years later, in the present, his mother finally succumbed to the Book's curse. He could have kept the apothecary to himself and continued the family business but the weight of seeing his childhood home empty of the laughter they once had years before, Gaius sold the property and packed his things, including the Holy Relic by his side. Months later, he found himself getting conscripted into Oswya's troops for the sake of food, shelter and training.

Weapon Name: Book of Apophis, Teachings of the Serpent of Malice
Type of Weapon: Dark Tome
Description of Weapon:
(Image)
Current Wielder|Location: Gaius Leika
Special Properties:

• Bane of Magic: Grants additional bonus damage to Anima and Dark Magic and nullifies the weapon triangle advantage and disadvantage between Light and Dark. Also grants additional magic resistance at the cost of having weaker physical defense.
  
• Vile Venom: Enemies attacked with the Book of Apophis' spells will be inflicted with the ancient fell serpent's venom, slowly taking their life and strength in the process. The poison grows stronger as it is left untreated and the life lost is then gained by the caster.
  
• Serpent's Cursed Dominion: The caster can turn others into snakes and themselves into a serpent like Manakete for awhile. Grants control over serpentine creatures, depending on the caster's strength of will.
  
• Life Taker: Any person who does not have the Holy Blood of Phelga within their veins will have their life consumed by the tome if they try to wield it.

Weapon Art:

• Fell Serpent's Bite: The caster calls upon a curse on the victim, bringing them to near death (like Hel's effect of bringing down a unit's HP to 1) and absorbing the lost life force. It is said that the Witch Phelga crippled an entire battalion of soldiers with the spell and slaughtered them with a follow up attack.

History of Weapon: The Book of Apophis' creation is actually known, unlike most other Holy Relics that dotted the land. It was created when a powerful sorceress, known as the Witch Phelga, fought for the liberation of the kingdom now known as Oswya. The Witch spent months in a guerilla war in the northwestern part of the country wherein her army liberated a village in which is tormented by what seems to be a malicious dragon living deep within the mountains' forests. Phelga routed her forces to ease the citizens' hearts and challenged the dragon in its lair. The dragon was, in fact, a serpentine fell dragon that goes by the name of Apophis and has long since been worshipped by the mountain tribes as a death god that presided over their lives. The serpent has been ruling these mountain ranges for centuries and the Empire only let its rule continue by the virtue of the dragon remaining in the mountains in exchange for tributes. Seeing that the serpent cannot be left alone and live any longer, the Witch raised her banners and led her men to war against the dragon and emerged victorious after three days of nonstop fighting. She lost more than half of her men but the fell serpent lay dead beneath her feet. She took all of the serpent's blood and bottled it away for future use and had the serpent's lair looted.

Months later, Phelga would find a use for the bottled blood of Apophis. She took half of the bottle and created a concoction that would allow her to gain the knowledge of the dark dragon for her own. Indeed, she gained the dragon's forbidden knowledge and the dragon's blood took over her body. With a quill in one hand, the sorceress scribbled away mindlessly with the remaining bottle of blood. Within the sheets of paper was a horrible breed of dark magic inscribed and imbued, granting the Witch's bloodline power over life and death if used well. Although Apophis was thoroughly destroyed and its soul with its body, perhaps it was its last act of leaving a footprint upon the world and thus left dark words within the Witch's hands. Phelga refused to touch the tome when she snapped out of her trance. However, the temptation of its power won when Phelga's forces were surrounded and her soldiers were dying like flies. She opened the book and recited its incantations. It's as if she has been casting its spells for all her life as her enemies fell one by one and she felt her wounds close and heal and her strength returning. The Tome would soon become infamous with its heinous magic and the Witch continued to use it until her retirement as one of Oswya's court counsellors. Before her death, the Witch sent her son and his family away from the capital with the Book of Apophis, which they kept hidden and secret, to settle down with the populace. The Book was passed from generation to generation until it found its way in the hands of Gaius.

I sumbit this app to the OP's Review

I edited Gaius' app and my relic app. Is there anything I should edit more?

Looks better now. The Character app seems fine, but as for the Holy Weapon, I think you should remove the ability to turn others into Snakes, and perhaps switch the ability to turn into a large snake to your weapon's special ability

Will be working on a post later today, but likely won't be up till the end of the week

[Miekzhemy]

So, if memory serves, there's going to be some stuff going down primarily around Hyksoleon? Assuming that's around where most of the activity is at the moment, I'll likely be moving some people near there soon if NUC didn't plan to do anything in Kehzan. Still leaving options open

Well, most of the action in the near future is going to take place there. And while, I'm going to pass through Kezhan in my next post [and like leave in the following one], there is a chance that you could get a push towards the West, but I wouldn't count on my characters being the reason for it. Like I said, there's always my back up if you need it though

[Miekzhemy]

I'm thinking about possibly making an app for a character from Oswya. How does a troubadour sound?

As a seperate character, or did you plan to have them join up with the Princess and company?

Likely the latter. I'll think up an app, but I might hold off until activity picks up a bit more

I apologize for the lack of posting, work and transititioning to a summer home has sucked up my time, but I will be getting out a post soon

[Nations United for Conquest]

Finally recovered from a bit of heat stroke I got this past weekend. Seeing as I've recovered most of my strength I will work towards a posting come about Friday

Nice. In that time, I’ll probably post the battle mentioned in my last post, putting me in a position to encounter some Osywa royalty

Oh boy, I just realize what a monster of a post this might end up as. And how much of a Bitch it'll be the write, but I will make haste to have it up soon in the coming days

[Miekzhemy]

Slow week or two I guess xd

We still busy with stuff at the moment?

Yeah, the week that I was supposed to write, I got hit with a surprise visit from family that kept me away from my PC, and then had to go directly back to work following the weekend. It's very rare for me to get sick, last time was several years ago [I was bed ridden with a 104 fever], but I guess the heat stroke must of weakened me. because I've been dealing with a bit of strep throat, and can't really write when I can't swallow.

I must apologize for my lack of posting and activity, regardless of the circumstances, and will hopefully be back in better shape soon
