The land of Kia is rich with fortune, prosperity, and adventure. Port towns are filled with ships with eager sailors pressing on into new lands. Capital cities are hubs of culture and magic, and even the most remote of villages finds living off the land an ample means of surviving.

Across the land, beasts roam-- from forests filled with benevolent fairies to crags containing demons and beasts of unimaginable evil. Some are small and have bounties-- other are giant, and have legends.

Clerics who work as doctors are the foil to covens of witches and gray mages who use their magic for personal gain, often for others for a sum of gold.

The gun is unheard of, and any technology resembling it is dismissed as archaic and impractical. The land instead is armed with the blade, the staff, and armors infused with magic.

Indeed, the land of Kia is a grand land full of wonder and personal freedom, but as all good stories must know darkness, there is evil brewing, a foil to the bliss that had been found before.

Constant, the capital city of Kia, has been ruled since its founding by benevolent kings. As of late, the current ruler, King Yarl, has fallen ill with his old age, leaving the question of the throne to his two children-- one princess, the elder and heir apparent, and the younger prince, the spoiled child who thirsts for the throne like lifeblood.

Prince Armston, the latter, has been recruiting his own personal army without consent from the rest of the royal family. Talks around the entire land speak of a darkness residing within the young man. Has the grand ambition present in all of the royal family found a darker base in the prince?

Truly, these are complex times. An air of danger is building in Constant, and the tension and mystery is about to subside. When the dust clears, it will be the destiny of brave men and women who have never met to ensure that Kia remains a loving, habitable place for all creatures who know the ways of peace.

What is your destiny?

Each user is limited to two characters controlled simultaneously. A mix of genders is encouraged but not required.

What is your name?
How old are you?
Your height, and weight?
What is your race?
What do you look like?
What are your weapons?
Do you know the way of magic?
What is your view of the world?
How have you made your way to where you are now?


What is your name?
- Xavier Florence.
How old are you?
- 20 years old.
What is your height, and weight?
- 6'1", 175 lbs.
What is your race?
Lycan-- a human-like race bearing traits of canines.
What do you look like?
- A rather lanky yet toned body. Shaggy black hair that hasn't been combed for years, and two ears not unlike that of a wolf protruding from the mess. Amber eyes, and a fanged grin. He wears an outfit designed after his former clan, which consists of a dark blue robe folded into a fashion similar to a tunic, tucked into loose-fitting black trousers to allow extra flexibility and mobility. Several layers of thick, finely-knitted leather are fashioned into an undershirt and long underpants, allowing him extra protection. Pieces of cloth are tied around and secure the bottom of his pants to his ankles to prevent tripping and falling. His feet are adorned with wooden sandles similar to geta for lightness and an extra offensive advantage.
What are your weapons?
- A weapon resembling an o katana, sheathed at the hip, and a long bow strapped to his back.
Do you know the way of magic?
- A basic understand of elemental magic that allows the infusing of elements into sword attacks and arrows. As far as direct magical abilities, little experience.
What is your view of the world?
- Raised in the forests instead of the bustling cities, Xavier is free spirited and often can be seen as "uncultured". He follows his own personal flow and doesn't react kindly to demands from others. His is a benevolent soul, but also knows of personal pride. He cares little about aristocratic affairs and would rather spend his own time relaxing or training for fun.
How have you made your way to where you are now?
- Xavier was born to a clan of Lycans, shortly before a viral illness wiped them out. Xavier, around twelve years old, was the only survivor, being the only one genetically immune to it. The only thing he had to remember his clan by was his sword, which belonged to the chief of the clan, and a bow, which belonged to his mother. He practiced with both until proficient in a unique style of his own making, although it goes untested against foes that aren't meant to be food. He currently resides in Bomshire Forest, which is situated at the edge of Constant.

What is your name?
Kira Rubentaly
How old are you?
22 tears old.
Your height, and weight?
5 feet in total height, weighs in at 145 lbs.
What is your race?
Kitsune
What do you look like?
She appears to be a highly active and beautiful young woman wearing tight brown pants and a dark green tunic. She has brown riding boots on her feet. Her bushy red hair has two reddish fox-like ears sticking out of it atop her head and a bushy red tail resembling a fox's. Her inquisitive blue eyes show the world that she is always interested in new things.
What are your weapons?
Kira mainly uses her wits and body as her weapons. She is adept at disarming an opponent and using their weapons against them. On her hands are two light metal gauntlets made of a special ore. Her body is highly flexible and her muscles and bones are twice the strength of a normal human female of her age.
Do you know the way of magic?
She is capable of casting Illusionary spells and viewing and entering others' dreams. A self-taught amateur in lightning magic, she can only give her muscles a slight jolt to increase reaction speeds and strength for a short time.
What is your view of the world?
Everything she doesn't know, she wants to. As a result, she is quite good at reading others and is very knowledgeable about subjects. Kira's curiosity overrides her shy nature at times, making her seem a mostly outgoing and friendly person. She cares not for any form of hierarchy and thinks that if you can solve a problem, you should, and politics shouldn't matter. She sees government as a waste of time and resources when the aristocracy bickers over how much profit they can make.
How have you made your way to where you are now?
Kira is an amnesiac. She couldn't remember who or what she was, nor anything else for that matter. Hence, the curiosity. Kira has traveled from place to place, fighting off anyone who attacked her and gaining great amounts of information. She has been hearing strange rumors about Constant, and decided to go there to investigate. As she is more comfortable in forests, she is currently travelling through Bomshire forest.

What is your name?
Isingr
How old are you?
19
Your height, and weight?
5'9" 145lbs
What is your race?
Draconian-descendants of ancient beings with the appearance of a bipedal lizard.
What do you look like?
He has cold, golden reptile eyes, shiny black scales all over his body with dark red scales lining his neck and facial features, and a tail he keeps in his trousers to hide his differences. He wears a large, dark blue hood and black bracers to hide his appearance from others as to not freak them out too much around the cities and towns. Black leather boots adorn his feet as well has having brown, loose-fitting pants.
What are your weapons?
Hand and a half sword (long sword), Dwarven dagger.
Do you know the way of magic?
Well versed in the ways of healing magic. Dabbing into the way of the flame, he can coat his blade in fire for very brief moments of time, and only uses it when necessary.
What is your view of the world?
Sees the world as a cruel place, and is striving to improve it in any way that he can. Isingr wants to show the people that there is still good in the world after all, even in the bad times that he knows are ahead.
How have you made your way to where you are now?
At the age of ten, the Draconian village he grew up in was attacked. His entire village was destroyed, and the only ones to escape were him and his father. Badly injured, Isingr's father gave his son the family sword and told him that he would know to use it at the right time. He passed away shortly after, at which point Isingr's training began. He theived a spell book from a mage's house and taught himself the magic found within, and he made man-shaped targets to hone his sword skills. Now, nine years later, he is following the talk of townspeople to Constant, and is on the edge of the swamp about to enter Bomshire forest.

// You're all set. Let's get this show on the road. Anyone else who would like to join in is free to submit a profile anytime, unless otherwise stated. //

Bomshire Forest. A dense patch of woods stretching miles across, serving as an oasis for fresh air and an assortment of small creatures. Not all who inhabit it are small, however-- one being in particular enjoys sitting in the tree tops, munching on apples, and that was precisely what he was doing now.

Xavier's Lycan ears twitched with delight as he sank his teeth into a fresh yellow apple. "Now this... this, is a good apple." He sat perched on a branch with his back against the trunk of the tree, looking perfectly relaxed and content. The mid-day sun shined down through the canopy, painting everything below with patches of light and shadow, moving slightly as the wind stirred the leaves. All was silent, all was calm, as was the usual in Bomshire Forest.

Xavier's ears perked again when he heard a small crack. He focused his attention, trying to find the source of the noise. Another larger crack. Too late he realized that the crack was coming from the branch he was sitting on, and in the blink of an eye, the limb snapped and Xavier toppled to the ground. Upon landing with a slight thud, he winced in pain, before getting to his knees and dusting himself off. Immediately, the scent of another person caught his nose, and he looked up to meet the eyes of someone else who had found their way into the forest.

A pair of inquisitive blue eyes were just inches from his own. It was a fox-like girl, possessing the ears and tail of a fox. She suddenly took a few steps back, as though self-conscious after the initial interest in what had happened. There was an apple in her hands with a few bites taken out of it. It was Xsvier's apple-she'd caught it after he fell.

"U-um...this is yours...right?"

Her ears flicked back an forth, nervously, as she held out the apple. The red-head fox girl seemed very polite for someone who had almost been fallen onto. She bowed her head slightly, worried that the Lycan before her might not just accept that as an apology. She hoped he hadn't noticed but earlier, just before he fell, she'd kicked the tree really hard. That, in her mind, was the likely cause of the fall.

On the edge of the forest is a mysterious man, leaving the swamps.

"I can't believe I've already made it this far."

His footsteps light, he approaches the central area of the forest. Hearing a crack and the noise of something heavy hitting the ground, he draws his dagger ready to strike. Keeping to the shadows, he approaches the sound of the crack. He notices two figures in the direction, one a lycan and the other a fox girl.He begins to observe them and see if they are good people who can help him, or evil who need to be taken care of.

Xavier rubbed his back and got to his feet with a little groan. He was surprised to see a Kitsune girl looking back at him-- he had heard stories about them, but never seen one. As she spoke, his eyes went to the apple in her hand.

"... yeah, that's mine." He took it in his hand, polished it off on his pant leg, then took another bite out of it. He ignored her nervous bow, as if he didn't understand or care why she was doing it, and continued to munch his apple as he looked at this odd girl.

"So, uh," he interrupted the silence, "what are you doing here, anyway?" Xavier tossed the apple core away after making quick work of it, then folded his arms over his chest. As he awaited an answer, a scent caught his nose-- his eyes went from the girl to a patch of woods several yards away, where he smelled something almost reptilian.

"Traveling, really. I just decided to get out and see the world that's all."

She seemed to be hiding something, but her nose twitched, apparently picking up on the same scaly smell. She tilted her head slightly to the right, wondering what it could be, having encountered similar smells before, but no memory of anything quite like this one. Her bushy red tail started flicking back and forth with excitement and her eyes lit up. Something new to see really excited her after all.

There are just so many things I have yet to see in this world...I can't believe how wonderful it all is...or, most of it at least.

// Accepted, Craizen. //

Xavier seemed to accept what Kira was saying at face value, and didn't see a need to probe any further. That smell still bothered him, though-- it was just as close as before, not moving, so he figured they were being watched by something.

"I don't want to startle you, fox girl, but I think someone might be trailing you." He adjusted his sword on his hip and started walking away from the girl. "Whatever that is, I don't want any part of it. Your business. I was about to head into town anyway. Have fun with the forest."

In all reality, Xavier had planned to sit in that tree for the rest of the day, but something about the whole situation seemed off, especially that new scent that showed up right when the girl did. He'd rather not be a part of anyone else's problems, which he assumed he would have been if he stuck around any longer.

Noticing them look in his direction, the man backed more into the shadows with his dagger at the ready. He still hadn't decided if they were good people or a threat yet.

"Don't come over here yet. I'm not finished with my observations."

He noticed they were probably headed over anyway, so he called out to them.

"Friend or foe?"

Xavier was stopped in his tracks as he heard a voice call out from the same direction he smelled that strange scent. Without turning to face the direction of the voice, he put a hand on the handle of his sword; his face turned a bit more serious.

"That depends. Who are you, and why are you here?"

Seemed like he couldn't avoid getting into this mess.

The girl looked around, confused. Her tail stopped flicking as she looked between the Lycan and the new smell that apparently was another person. Her eyes showed an inner conflict between survival instincts, curiosity, and her normal timid personality.

What is all this? I'm so confused. Why are they getting hostile? Did he actually notice when I kicked the tree?! What do I do? I...I have to apologize. Besides, he's going to the city! I want to go too.

Kira made this decision without paying any further attention to the area around her, completely enveloped in her own little world.

Marcus curses himself for getting lost in the stupid Forest, it's not like he had never been on on expeditions. He blamed the swamp, his people tended to avoided it purely because of rumors of a dead witch.

"Idiots, what I wouldn-"

He stopped short, because one he saw his exit and two someone stand in it, looking like they were hiding from someone. It was if they were being engaged or not, either which way, this man was in the way.

"Maybe if I..."

He held out his left hand, focus a bit and gathering the energy, before sending a harmless but propulsive blast at the back of the man in the shadows, pushing him out into the light before heading out of the woods behind, a smile on his face, seemingly amused.

"You know things run much smoother when you just get things out in the open?

Rolling masterly into the clearing and spinning around to view his attacker, he said.

"My name is Isingr, and I'm here to stop the evils I've heard about in the city. Whoever pushed me, get out here, and if you're a friendly to my cause, say so."

He lifted his dagger to the ready, in case of a conflict.

((Cough Cough, he followed you out, Cough)))

"I'm Marcus. Now put your knives away before you start something. Paranoia and Hostility, even if for being careful spread."

He looked a little ways out and waved at Kira and Xavier, a perfect stranger still though.

Kira waved back rather energetically, her curiosity trumping her survival instinct and timid personality. The two new people, who in addition to giving off all kinds of unfamiliar smells, also said some very interesting things, had really set her off. The gleam in her eyes was almost fearsome in its intense curiosity.

"I'm Kira. Kira Rubentaly. It's nice to meet you. Are you two heading to the city as well? What did you mean by evils? What does paranoia mean? What are you Isingr, I've never seen anyone quite like you. Or you Marcus. Tell me, please!"

The bushy red tail was flicking back and forth at almost comically high speeds. Kira's intense curiosity might even outstrip that which killed the cat it seems. She was totally oblivious to the hostile air that the reptilian man was giving off, focusing instead on getting answers to her burning questions.

((Missed that part, oops.))

Isingr puts his dagger away at the man's request.

"My apologies, you startled me quite a bit.

He turns to Xavier and Kira.

"So, friend or foe?"

Xavier removed his hand from his sword, leaving it in its sheath. He took a good look at the three people who had disturbed what had just been a rather peaceful day. His ears flicked in annoyance as he ran a hand through his messy hair and let out a sigh.

"I don't care enough to be friend or foe. I'm getting out of here, you guys are crowding up my space."

He supposed going to the city wouldn't be a bad idea. He had no clue about the "evils" that were taking place in the city, but he figured he shouldn't trust a weird-looking guy who was watching them from a hiding spot a few moments ago. He might be able to scrounge up enough change to have a nice bath in the city's hot spring, after all, and reacquaint himself with the precious relaxation he had, in his view, been robbed of.
