Yeah, we have a Dragonstone, a staff and a Lance. Still need a bow, axe, tome, and a hidden weapon (knives or shruikan). The sword spot is locked for plot reasons.

The first Galactic Republic wrote:My legendary weapon.Name: Raesvelg
Appearance (Picture or written): The Raesvelg is simple at first glance, but becomes more unnerving as one looks at it longer. It is far stronger than it looks.
Type (Sword, Axe, Lance, Bow, Staff or Tome: Axe
Special Properties: The Raesvelg is made from a material stronger and lighter than any known, meaning it is just as powerful as a heavy battle axe yet as light as a short sword. It also has the ability to control wind, but this power is difficult to use. No user has ever been able to make more than a strong gust.
Weapon Creator: Unknown
Previous Wielder and Current Wielder (if someone still wields it): Always used by Crusaders of the Oathsworn and stored when there is no Crusader.
Weapon's History: According to legend the Raesvelg was a weapon wielded by the legendary warriors who defeated the dragons, worshipped by the Oathsworn as the Divine Crusaders. It's history however is not known until it was found by the Oathsworn three centuries ago. It's discovery was taken as one of the events that proved the validity of the Oathsworn's religion. Shortly after the Oathsworn capital was founded and the modern state was created.
According to legends the weapon was uncovered from the earth by a young scavenger named Carlson. Carlson took the weapon back to his village, but over many weeks his fellow villagers went mad to the point of psychosis. Immune to this Carlson took the weapon back and his village was cured. Carlson however then realized he could exploit the weapon's power. Carlson created a group of mercenaries and used the weapon to his advantage. He would pick fights with groups he couldn't win and then offer the weapon as tribute when beaten. His mercenaries would then swoop in and ravage his foes when they inevitably became consumed by the madness. Carlson abused this until he became feared as an unbeatable warrior. He could take out entire cities without losses, and his services were in high demand.
Carlson eventually encountered the Oathsworn when they were still nomadic and tried to pull the same trick. He learned however that they were immune to the weapon's effects just as he was. When he tried to learn why he was told by an old man named Pergius of the Oathsworn religion. They saw the weapon as a holy weapon of the Divine Crusaders. When told of the weapon's effects on people Pergius suggested that those who follow the path of the Divine Crusaders are unaffected, and that if Carlson was immune he must be an instrument of their will. Carlson was skeptical. He murdered Pergius and retook his weapon.
Carlson's life degraded from then on. Though his tricks still worked, he suffered bad luck at every turn. His mercenaries seemed to constantly challenge his authority or desert. His health failed him and he seemed to age twenty years in five. Food went bad and plagues ravaged his forces. Carlson became convinced he was cursed and tried to turn his life around. He disbanded his mercenaries and gave all his wealth to peasants, but only after living for years as a beggar did he even think of getting rid of his axe. Carlson tried to get rid of it many times. He tried selling it but the buyers would always return it. He tried giving it away but nobody wanted it. Once he threw it in a river but weeks later found a village succumbed to madness. Sure enough the axe was found in a house. At this point Carlson began to believe the Oathsworn. Perhaps he was an instrument of the Divine Crusaders, and perhaps he was meant to deliver it to the Oathsworn.
Carlson, a haggard man wearing beggar clothes and looking far older than he really was, returned to the Oathsworn on his knees and begged them to take the axe. When they did he asked to learn of the Path of the Divine Crusaders. When Carlson learned his youth was restored and Carlson was granted inhuman power. Carlson had fulfilled his purpose and with his power he purged the axe of madness so that anyone could wield it. He also restored the life of Pergius, who went on to become one of the Oathsworn's first Hierarchs, and then ascended to heaven. He lost his physical form and ascended to divinity.
All of this however is a legend passed down by the Oathsworn. The Raesvelg doesn't appear in recorded history until after the Oathsworn capital had been founded, and it isn't known how much of the legend is true. What is known is that the Raesvelg is reserved for the Crusaders, the greatest warriors in the Oathsworn. When a new Crusader is created they are given the axe. When there is no Crusader it is kept in storage.

So is this accepted?

I just looked through the thread again. I do not know what staff you are talking about. The gravity one from the world building thread? Eh, that seems more like a weapon Miravere would have, not the Oathsworn. So I'm going to deny it, and get back to work on the IC.

The United Remnants of America wrote:I wasted today. Oops.Name: Syrus, Captain of the Guard
Age: 44
Gender: Male
Home Nation: Pyrhen
Allegiance paid to: Pyrhen
Class: Wyvern Lord
Appearance: (Image)
Personality: Over the many years Syrus has been working as a mercenary for the Guard, he's seen enough greed and darkness of the heart to forever dull his spirits about the goodness of humanity. Syrus is known as being sullen and suspicious of good intentions. Syrus touts this as good battle sense, though, that his suspicions about the real intentions of people allows him to correctly sniff out disloyal Guardsmen and misleading deeds.
Skills/Powers: Syrus is a skilled lance-user and a talented flier after spending so many years wielding a lance and flying his wyvern. After spending the last several years as Captain of the Pyrhen Guard, Syrus is a skilled leader and has earned the respect of his unit. Syrus is a skilled negotiator, working for pay raises and contracts between the democratic council of elders in Pyrhen, the various merchants, and the Guard.
Weaponry: Lance, Sword, Axe
Biography: Syrus is old enough to remember when Pyrhen was not an independent nation. As a young boy, Syrus watched the glorious knights and soldiers of Oskano and Zendle when he traveled with his merchant father. Watching the gleaming armor and the honor by which the soldiers trained and sparred, Syrus was quickly infatuated with them: Syrus had to become a knight. He was a teenager when his home city of Pyrhen broke off to form it's own trading city-state, and as he grew up and learned the ways of the world and how the world worked, Syrus became less and less infatuated with the nobility and honor of the Oskano nights, and more and more interested in the amount of gold that the caravan guards of Pyrhen were paid. As a young teenager, in an effort to support his aging parents, Syrus joined the caravan Guard. It was here that the Guard found in Syrus a skilled flier. He was given a young wyvern to fly, and in no time, Syrus was one of the Pyrhen Caravan Guard's most skilled wyvern riders. Flash-forward several years to the present, where the now-elder Syrus is the captain of the Pyrhen Guard. But unlike previous Captains, Syrus still flies his loving wyvern, Glynda, onto trade routes, flying over caravans with the handful of other skilled fliers the Guard has to offer.
RP Example: Project Warfighter
Notes: Will end up putting Syrus' friends/lieutenants as their own characters, but Asher and Felix.Name: Asher, the Oskano Assassin
Age: 32
Gender: Male
Home Nation: Oskano
Allegiance paid to: Pyrhen
Class: Rogue
Appearance: (Image)
Personality: Years of killing and stealing has dulled Asher's sense of humanity, and the Oskano Assassin has become what others would consider as callous. He often makes jokes that only the darkest senses of humour would enjoy, and his lack of respect for an individual's life strikes fear into the hearts of even those under his command in the Pyrhen Guard. Another issue is Asher's sins, of which there are many. Asher's love of money, women, and alcohol are known throughout the Guard. Some of the more wealthy in Pyrhen refuse to trust dealing with Asher for their lack of trust, something that doesn't upset Asher one bit; he's known for telling Captain Syrus that whenever someone pays more, he'll turn in an instant.
Skills/Powers: Asher has spent years as a professional thief and assassin, due to this, he has become light on his feet, allowing him to perform acrobatic moves in the midst of combat that others would find inhuman. Because of this past, Asher is also able to pick locks without the aid of tools. As an assassin, Asher has learned how to silently and quickly kill targets without raising the alarms of others around him.
Weaponry: Swords, Knives, Hidden Weapons
Biography: The Oskano Assassin is not a cheap sword to keep around, but as long as the coin flows, Asher's loyalty can be bought. Four years ago, the young thief and contract killer was chased down after murdering a particularly succesful Pyrhen merchant. Captured by the Pyrhen Guard, the Guard's captain, Syrus, recognized Asher for who he was and gave him a simple offer: Get on Pyrhen's payroll as a member of the Guard, or be sent to prison and ultimately sent to death. Asher made the most efficient decision, he chose life and money and a place among the Guard. Since then, his sword and his abilities have earned him a respected place among the Pyrhen Guard, his skills at breaking into locked doors and chests are unparalleled, and his close combat skills are superb. The Oskano Assassin is a force to be reckoned with as the Guard's second-in-command.
RP Example: Project Warfighter
Notes: N/AName: Felix, Guard Scout
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Home Nation: Hieronapolis
Allegiance paid to: Pyrhen
Class: Bow Knight
Appearance: http://i998.photobucket.com/albums/af10 ... cb2ccc.jpg
Personality: Being one of the youngest warriors in the Pyrhen Guard, Felix has never abandoned his childlike wonder of the world. He's easy to amaze and quick to smile and laugh. Felix's spirit is known throughout most of the caravan and even the mere presence of his smiling face can make a trip easier on everyone.
Skills/Powers: Felix has become a skilled bowman on horseback, and while not a especially rare skill, it is uncommon enough for Felix to be able to use it in combat when others have to focus on close weapons. Felix's real skill comes in his optimistic attitude. His spirit and uplifting attitude has a positive effect on the morale of all of his surrounding Guardsmen. Even in the midst of battle, Felix's spirit can put a smile on even the most dour warrior.
Weaponry: Bow, Sword
Biography: Much like the young Syrus, Felix as a child fell in love with the look of the military, but unlike the elder Captain of the Guard, Felix retained that love up until his joining of a Pyrhen trade caravan as they traveled through Hieronapolis on their way to Zendle. Always too nervous to join what he considered a "formal" military unit, the Pyrhen Guard was right up his alley, and when he wasn't being Chivalrous, the money wasn't bad, either. Since his joining, Felix has become a valuable member of the Guard, acting as a forward scout and lookout for ground caravans and a personal bodyguard for travelling merchants.
