The story...
They were once thought of as Gods.
Strong.
Beautiful.
Immortal.
Yes, they would live forever, but they were feared above all else. These beings were born like any other, but as they grew older, they stopped aging. Now, they are forever trapped in their human forms.
They gained kingdoms and lost fortunes. They have loved and betrayed.
Now, some hundreds of years old, now move about the world in the shadows, doing what they wish, but doing their best to not to meddle in the world. However, there are some who know of their existence. They wish this power for themselves while others wish these immortals out of existence.
And now, forever more, they shall be on the run.

The setting... Forever Running doesn't take place in our world. It takes place on another one, which is called Konala. Konala's landscape has a single, massive island that takes up about 25% of the land. There are other, tiny islands supposedly on the other side of the world, but no one has been able to get to them because of doldrums and violent storms. The continent on Konala is called Cynara. The map above shows the countries that make up Cynara.

The Countries of Cynara... SacaeSacae is also reffered to as "The City of Fire." It is build on next to a chain of mountains and uses the heat from the volcanos for energy. It is literally, a city built over a volcano river. Currently, they country wishes to expand it's border over the mountains and into Ilia, but are halted due to Ilia's impressive landscape and rouge villages.  IliaIlia is the exact opposite of the neighboring country, Sacae. Ilia has absolutely no solid capital. It's inhabitants are entire villages which move though the forests, staying in an area for a while, and then continuing on. They are kind to those in need and travelers they meet, but hat the Sacae for trying to take their land.  EtruriaLocated on the largest river system on Cynara, it is built on top of the rivers. There is very little dry land, since most of it is made up of swamps. They are a peaceful land who are very kind, but are also extremely cold.  BernBern is a lush, forest covered country. The are no capitals, but they do have four major cities which serve as a place of politics and learning. Bern is famous for it's healers and travelers, who come to Bern for it's breath taking sites and hot springs. Most of the people who do not live in the capital live in small fishing for farming villages.  LyciaLycia is a strong, military capital ruled under a dictatorship. Their dictator, Bohdan Aren, is actually a very good ruler. He is strong willed and knows well what his people want. He only asks that each person, once they turn 16 serves at least one year in the army. They have a strong military force, but tend to protect others more then expand borders. They are will known for their mercinaries.

The dictator retired her, and so her name has been lost to history. She wanders around different countries, mostly Bern and Etruria, a mercenary for hire. She moves mostly with her job. other: Aru_Soki name: Lucian age: 20 race: Human country: Unknown weapons:Large sword in ic below appearance:   With out the eye patch bio: Lucians family where killed in war when he was ten and he was taken in by an old knight who tourt him how to fight he wanted to avendge his family but when he grew up he found out that it was the wrong thing to do and now after the death of his mentor he travels from place to place making a living he is alittle cold hearted at first glance but he is friendly when people get to know him.

Aram began to want life in the military again, but Karasi knew that there was no way that was possible. Aram didn't wish to go around for hire, and so he left in an attempt to find an army that would take him. They did, but in twenty years, he was run out. He still looks for an army that will take him, but knows, deep down, that Karasi was right. other: n/a

Karasi held her sword forward in front of her, as she had done for all of her immortal life. The enemy, spear in hand, charged here with a war-like shout. Just before the spear head hit her abodoman, she jumped up. Shocked, the knight froze, unable to move as Karasi landed on the flat side of the spearhead.
"Blessed be." she whispered with a stone cold face, and with a strong sweep of her sword, she cut through the metal, leather, and chain mail of the knights helmet, chopping his head clean off. His body fell to the ground, and Karasi had to jump again not to hit the ground to hard.
With a sigh, she took the flag from the enemy banner and whipped the sword clean as she looked around. The snowy forest floor of Ilia was stained with the blood of Sacaeian foot soliders.
"Be at peace. You fought bravely, and died honorably. The only place a warrior should die is on a battlefield." she said to the corpses of the fifty-odd men she'd killed.
Sheathing his sword, she walked slowly back to the Ilian tribe who'd hired her, collected her money, and left. Ilia was always snowing, it seemed, but tonight, the cold weather nipped at her exposed shoulder.
Since she was on the border, she headed into Etruria, highering a boatman to take her to the capital. It was busy, since it was market day.
"It was busy way back then, and it will be busy way into the future." she muttered under her breath as the boatman dropped her in front of the dock for a ramen shop.
Karasi walked up the brick steps and took a seat right at the bar. She ordered some shrimp and squid ramen, and then looked around as it was cooked. She remembered that a decade ago, this had been an inn, but, like everything else given time, it had changed.

Acacia walked thorugh the town, having herbs in the large pouch on her side. She would normally visit Etruria when she ran out of specific items that she needed for the medicines she used. She had also heard of the supposed immortal mercenary that was supposed to be around here. Acacia had not seen any immortal people in a long time and wished to meet her.
