To Save A King ~ A Fantasy RP ~ 1 More Hero Needed!!!!!!!!!!

[Solar Kitty-chan]

~ To Save A King ~

The world of Faerie has always existed beside the Earthworld, peacefully mingling with the Earthworld whenever the Faerie people desired it. And the same was true for humans who would wander into Faerie. During this time, Faerie was ruled over by a peaceful High King who made sure that Faerie always remained safe from harm.

However, like many worlds, Faerie soon fell to the Shadow. The High King was imprisoned by a trecherous being who desired to rule both Faerie and the Earthworld. After dethroning the High King, he ascended to the throne with his allies to back him up. Faerie fell into utter chaos, which in turn affected those in the Earthworld who still believed in and saw Faerie magick.

In an attempt to free the High King, his Tanaiste gathered together a band of six heroes and heroines from both Faerie and the Earthworld to aid in this process.

The Royals (Ard Ri, False Ard Ri, Tanaiste)

Quote:

Name: Ard Ri Meilranh
Age: 2.5 millenia, looks mid 20s
Gender: Male
Race: Faerie
Physical Description: Meilranh is quite tall for the faerie race, his hair is about shoulder length and brilliant silver in colour, his wings are larger than many faeries and they are dazzling gold in colour, his build is average, but he's far from average
Weapons: none, his weapon is in the possesion of the false Ard Ri
Magick: Able to manipulate energy, his magic is thunder and lightning
Background: Meilranh was once personal advisor to the Ard Ri, he had become trusted and loved by all people and the Ard Ri of the time had always relied on his services. Once that Ard Ri had passed away, the people had voted Meilranh into power as the last Ard Ri had left no Heir. The world of Faerie had flourished under Meilranh's rule, but another became jealous of Meilranh's power, and had managed to capture him while he was offguard, and Usurp his position. Meilranh now waits in a cell, until someone can come and rescue him from a grisly fate.

Quote:

Name: Myrge
Age: Looks to be in his early twenties
Gender: Male
Race: Elf
Physical Description: He has long, flowing hair that is dark with a sheen the colour of blood. He wears it in a high ponytail with beads throughout it. His ears are long and pointed. The left has three piercing and an additional two piercings in his cartilage. His right ear has five piercings and one piercing in his cartilage. His eyes are dark green and long-lashed. He has fangs and smirks readily. He is well muscled and despite the danger he presents, women find him beautiful.
Weapons: A large quantity of knives and daggers, and an intricate pole with a large blade of a metal that was forged in poison at the end. With a thought of will, Myrge can turn it into an equally deadly sword.
Magic: War magic. Aka violent spells that don’t do nice things. At all.
Background: He does not think logically, and is more than borderline crazy. However, he hides that fairly well, despite the fact he loves to do nothing more than slit someone’s throat. Myrge is intelligent and loves war; the bloodier the better. When the false king asked him to become the general of his army, he was ecstatic. In charge of an army with a lot of people to subdue, so many excuses for bloodshed.
He really hates to be told what to do, considering he’s working for a king, this may not be a good thing. However, he will at least listen to his younger sister, whom he will protect at all costs. She is a quiet, gentle, frail woman who is in many ways unlike her brother.

Quote:

Name: Ailfred, the Tanaiste
Age: A millenia or two younger than the High King.
Gender: Male
Race: Faerie
Physical Description: Ailfred is a tall, muscularly built Faerie. His head has no hair, and it shines in just about any light. His wings are a pale silver, which many have believed that would have been his hair colour if he'd had any. He wears long robes, usually in shades of red and purple.
Weapons: A large staff he uses as a walking stick.
Magick: Limited, Vague Divination
Background: Ailfred — (AL-frid) Irish Gaelic form of Alfred, from OE ælf "elf, supernatural being" + ræd "counsel".

Since he was half a millenia old, Ailfred knew that it was his life-long ambition was to serve the High King. It was realized when he become the Tanaiste.
As the Tanaiste for the True High King, Ailfred was overly furious when Donn took control of the throne. He used his powers in Divination to its fullest extent in order to bring together the Band of Heroes and Heroines in order to save Faerie and the Earthworld.

Quote:

Name: Gwenhwyfar Aderyn O'Connor (Goes by Gwenn or Deryn)
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Physical Description: Gwenn has chin length dark red hair and a pale but smooth complexion, with a light dusting of freckles. She has rather tall and lean, without many of the curves most young women have. She has been likened to a string bean more than once. She has startling green eyes, a prominent nose, and the typical hairline of a Celtic woman. She tends to dress in flared blue jeans, a tank top or baby tee, and a pair of low heels. She also has several piercings in both her ears, and a tattoo of a tiny blue fairy on her right shoulder blade, as well as a bigger set of green and purple fairy wings on the small of her back.
Weapons: Whatever she can get her hands on
Magick: None

She has an Irish-Welsh background and has many relatives scattered throughout Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and England. Growing up, she believed faithfully in the existence of Faeries, something she picked up form her great-great-grandmother. Depending on her mood, she goes by Gwenn or Deryn (Her middle name, Aderyn, camefrom her great-great-grandmother). The only special thing about her is that she still has a deep rooted belief in the Realm of Faerie; This is what ties her to the quest to save the Realm from the evil hands of the false High King.

Quote:

Name: Faolan
Age: Appears to be in his mid twenties, around twenty-six.
Gender: Male
Race: Sidhe
Physical Description: Faolan is quite tall, just under seven feet actually, though he might just be an inch or two taller. His build is lanky yet muscular in a way that seems somewhat odd but fitting and faintly attractive. His hair, a pale mocha swirled with bittersweet chocolate, is cut around the length of his shoulder blades though it hasn't been cut in a long while so it is grown in various lengths. Often tied with a simple silk hair tie it leaves his chin length bangs to frame his face. He has a small patch of facial hair kept to his chin area. His eyes area fair violet around the center of the iris though they blend in with the deep garnet lining the edges. Often he will be seen wearing a sturdy hat with the right side of the brim molded upwards as well as a large grey feather attached that drapes down towards the middle of his back when he he not looking down. His general attire is somewhat formal though more of travel that includes a long tunic with long draping and cut sleeves, soft fabric bracer that cover the length of his forearms, an overcoat that lacks sleeves though has braided material around the openings of them, trousers and tall boots as well as a simple belt.
Weapons: He has mild knowledge of various weapons ranging from short blade or archery with his best knowledge being in blunt weaponry though he has none in his possession. He will use whatever he can manage by though if need be, even if it has to be his flute.
Magick : Much like that of the Bean Sidhe he can take on a disguise of another creature and on occasion, fly.
Background: Faolan is a kind-hearted fellow who can come across rather stoic or dorky depending on his mood. He's never been one to find a thing to do and stick with it forever and thusly has done countless odd jobs in both worlds. He learned most of what he knows of weaponry from the human world. In truth he prefers to spend his time there though he changed his appearance from time to time to take on different lives. Though regardless he has a love of music and even will play the flute and tin whistle.

Quote:

Name: Moll
Age:
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Physical Description: A young woman of average height and build, Moll is fairly unremarkable except for the fact that she’s human. She might be considered attractive if she were polished up, but as she’s without many luxuries, this is not possible and is rarely important to her. She has brown hair and brown eyes.
Background: Moll has been under the care of Ivan and Angus since she was a bairn, and by ‘under the care of’, we mean she’s been, most often, a servant or pet or mere convenience. Her mother died not long after she was born, and that’s when Ivan found her. At first, he thought baby meat might make a nice supper, but he thought she was too cute to eat right away, and put it off for so long that he eventually found other uses for a human. Also, adult humans aren’t very tender.

The Villains

Quote:

Name: Dubheasa
Age: Late Twenties
Gender: Female
Race: Selkie
Physical Description: Dubheasa wears a constantly stern look on her face. With shoulder-length auburn hair and cold grey eyes, she stands at an average height, with average weight and an average build.
Weapons: A single, long bladed dagger.
Magick: Water Magick. Small amounts of manipulation of water, and the ability to speak with sea creatures.
Background: Dubheasa — (doo-VAH-sa) from Old Irish dub "dark" + ess "waterfall", probably meaning "dark lady of the waterfall".

Dubheasa was never fond of company. She preferred to be alone while growing up, and usually still prefers to be alone. She has little patience for people, and refuses to put up with nonsense. Dubheasa usually wears a scowl on her face, and when she can't be found, she'll usually be found next to a water's edge, playing a flute.

Quote:

Name: Branwen (Brah-wen)
Age: looks to bea in her early 20’s but is really over 500 years old.
Gender: Female
Race: Elf
Physical Description: Branwen has a smaller frame but is very quick and agile. She has a slightly muscular look to her and is very strong. Compared to most elves she is a few inches shorter standing at about 5’7 with dark emerald eyes and light brown hair.
Weapons: A long bow with a quiver containg some arrows. She also carries a sword at her side a dagger in each of her boots.
Magick: None
Background: Branwen has been trained in the arts of self-defence for many years. When she was small her father taught her how to use weaponry. She excelled in the bow as well as the sword. Later on in life she took over her fathers business of forging weapons until their home was destroyed. She then used her training to hunt and kill those who destroyed her home and eventually became an assassin for hire.

Quote:

Name: Ivan
Age: Undisclosed, looks around 30
Gender: Male
Race: Cait Sith
Physical Description: Normally a black cat of around 25 inches in length with a white spot on his breast, Ivan can also, like most fae, take on a humanoid form when it suits him. In this form he is of a pleasant height and build, with black hair cut around his chin.
Background: Ivan hasn’t changed much since Myrge came to power. He’s the selfish kind, concerned with his own well-being first. That’s not to say he doesn’ thave a conscience . . . he may indeed have one, but he’s top on his list of priorities. Ivan travels with a cusith named Angus and a female human whom he raised from birth named Amrou. He’s very well-traveled between both worlds.

Quote:

Name: Black Angus
Age: Looks to be in his thirties
Gender: Male
Race: Cu Sith
Physical Description: Angus is a massive dog about the size of a cow, with thick, shaggy dark green fur, large paws, and a braided tail. Like Ivan, he will sometimes take on a human form, but this is more of a trouble for him than it is for Ivan, and in human form he is a large, strong-looking man with long, wild hair.
Background: Dog and Cat met one day, and Dog was having his supper. He offered a portion to Cat. Cat said to Dog: “But Dog, I’ve just had my fill in the forest. There are so many little creatures there that you have but to open your mouth and they will run right in. You have so little meat there on your bone that to take it would be criminal.” Dog asked of Cat: “Is this true? If it is, the forest must be crowded with other animals like us.” “What animals know of it are sleeping off their meals.” “Then shall I go partake?” “If you will,” said Cat as he padded around to Dog’s side, keeping a cautious distance, “but you must hurry before the word is spread. I will watch your bone for you until you return, in case they have found and eaten every last bird and hare.” And when Dog left to investigate Cat’s story, Cat ate every scrap of meat that Dog left and pranced away.
This was a common occurrence between Angus and Ivan. At first, Angus grew angry at Ivan’s trickery, and his attacks were deflected by the cait sith’s cunning. After many years of constantly running into eachother they unwillingly developed a sort of bond and loyalty in their animosity toward eachother and became known in name together as Black Angus and Ivan the Incorrigible. Their (for lack of a better term) partnership is kept solid by the human woman Moll, whom they both encountered shortly after her birth.

Others (Good, Bad, Neutral, NPC)

Quote:

Name: Jei
Age: Looks about 17
Gender: Female
Race: Elf
Physical Description: Very slight, about 5'3 Jei-san (sorry it's blurry)
Weapons: None, perhaps her natural charm.
Magick: Charms, very little, if anything else
Background: Jei is Myrge's younger sister and the only person he cares about. She is unusually frail and becomes ill easily. Her health has always been very poor and she does not truly understand or know what her brother is and does. Since her parents died, she has been under Myrge's watchful care. Occasionally, she overdoes herself and becomes sick.

Quote:

Name: Orrtha Driscoll
Age: 25 in apearence, about 100 years old.
Gender: Female
Race: Leanan Sidhe, but it is widely known she is the daughter of a human father.
Physical Description: Orrtha is very human looking. 5'5, with rounded curves and short hair, most of Faerie know who she is on sight. While her mother was Sidhe perfection, she has curly mahogany brown hair that is a messy cap when short. Her skin has a golden duskiness to it, with just a few freckles across her nose and shoulders. Her eyes are the only 'true' Sidhe thing about her. They are multi colored jewels of gold, white and chocolate. When she is using her magick, they will glow, but even in rest, they sparkle and dazzle anyone who meets her gaze. Which is why her hair often grows into her face before it falls past her shoulders.
Weapons: Throwing knives, at least 5 on her person when even nude, up to 15 when fully clothed. (Yes I will be sure to count during any battle scenes). Her accuracy with them varies from bullseye to deep graze.
Magick: Being a Leanan Sidhe, she can inspire creativity in others. Her mother was actually considered the Goddess of Dance and Music and no Festival would be complete without homage to Her. Orrtha's specialty is music and poetry, which she is beyond and expert in, but if she is focused on a person, she can open their mind to their potenial, but not acutally plant any thoughts or ideas.
Background: Orrtha does know she is a halfling, but not who her father is. Maeve, Orrtha's mother knows what would happen to a human 'husband' and has gone into exile for refusing to tell his name. The only recognition of him is Orrtha's last name, which refers to a briar where she was conceived.

Orrtha is very smart and charming, but most of her young life she was teased for her difference and it has left her aloof from many. Kindness is not easily accepted, except from those she trusts, and they are few and far between. Not truly cold, just distant. Her dearest possesions are the lyre her father left for her, her shining jewel that her mother passed down to her, and a caith sidhe that is her friend and protector. The cat, called Nyx, is one of the few cnstants in her life and she loves him dearly. Not much is known about Nyx(profile to come if you like), and he prefers it that way.

Currently she is simply a court musician. Often not taking the spotlight, she can deftly direct the moods of any gathering with her choices of song. Few will notice this kind of thing, because it is more musicanship than magick and goes fairly unnoticed. Her eyes and ears always open, she is aware of much and keeps it stored away until the right moment presents itself.
