    Loosely based on a roleplay done a few years back by my friends and I but with a original twist.

    [​IMG]
    700 years ago a war between Gods, Fallen Angels, and Immortals raged in the upper world known by the code name Divine Level. As result of the brutal war fought by the higher beings the mortal world went into chaos since the roles that the Gods once held and cherished were tossed aside during battle. This was a dark time for mortal kind. Anarchy, Genocide,Plagues, and Famine ran rabid as the sky turned black and the sun dimmed red. The world remained that way for nearly four years till one day the sky became blue again and the world calmed. Mortalkind was confused at the sudden turn of events and many tossed around their own explanations or stories as to why the chaos had stopped. One of the most well known explanations handed down by mankind was that the chaos stopped when the goddess Aiadera, mother goddess and shepherdess of life and light was publicly executed in the court of gods as a sacrifice to put a stop to the war.

    After the chaos ended, direct contact between higher beings and mortalkind was severed. On present day Gaia, Gods still maintain their roles as shepherds to life and to gaia. They are silent guardians who refrain from having a hand in human matters. Now that humankind is on their own, they have been allowed to grow far beyond their capabilities compared to the medieval mentality they lived under long ago when the Gods were still fully in charge. Technology has advanced and empires have risen. Though even after years of being cut off from their creators and becoming independent, Mortalkind clings to the belief that they do exist through worship and through century old myths.

    Ever since things mellowed down on Gaia, Mortalkind have developed great empires, two of those empires being the Dark Empire of Eclispcion and the Imperial Empire of Janina. The nations for as long as anyone could remember have always been butting heads and try to keep their distance from eachother. Though tension between the two has begun to grow out of hand, because of this a war might result. But for now things seem peaceful and bloodshed remains at a minimal. But when peacetime reaches it's deathbed will the Dark Empire be the one holding the dagger or will corruption and betrayal appear in the most unlikely places?

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Note: This roleplay is a Neo Oldworld type roleplay. There will be a mixture of oldworld and new world aspects. There are still kings, castles, and knights. But there are also cars, airships, and computerized systems at this time as well.

      King Alesky
      Longtime ruler of Janina. He is secretly immortal and is around 800 years old (yet looks to be in his thirties). He has brown hair and pale blue eyes with a fair complexion. He has a kind disposition and is a rather insightful king. Though for now he is only a figure head for the politicians and the council make most of the decisions for the Empire.
      Controlled by: Love


      The Mindell Family
      A wealthy family that is the third closest to the Royal Family. Though the Mindell family has a bad reputation for being hungry for money and status. Its women beautiful but known to be gold diggers. But the Mindell family is still widely recognized for it's production of skilled politicians. The Mindells and the Volker family are currently feuding as they always have been for ages.

      The Fable Family
      A powerful family consisting mostly of immortals masquerading as mortals. The Fable family is closest to the King and is highly patriotic. Members of this family act as advisers to the King and the royal family and many serve on the Political Panel.

      The Volker Family
      Second closest to the king. This Family is mainly a military family and produces strong warriors. The Volker are strict and power hungry so they are always striving to be the best at everything. They have tremendous hatred towards the Mindell family and engage in Mafia type conflicts with them regularly.

    POST 1 of the rp now commencing :

    It was night time on the grounds of Janina's star school, Eastford Academy. The skies were dark and a the pale moon was shining high in the sky. Tiny stars could be seen twinkling the dark abyss, casting their light down on the forested landscape that surrounded the school grounds. Tonight was the night of the Warrior's footman exam, a exam that was held in the forest outside of the Academy. Students had been separated into groups and sent out into the forest to play out a simulated war in the forest with use of fake weapons. But it was their mission to capture the captain of each team and most captains captured the more points the received towards their grades. Phisoxa was excited about playing out the simulation but sadly she had been put with a dead beat team so it didn't take long for her to grow bored and wander off from her team. Unfortunately for her and her team she had been chosen captain so now she was out alone in the forest. Phisoxa climbed up one of the old forest trees and sat on a branch, trying to keep hidden from those below. She looked out across the playing fielding as the wind blew threw the needles of the pines.

    Mixt stood in near silence, crouched up the branches of a tree. Many in the exam detested the forest landscape due to limited visibility, but the trick was knowing that there was no reason to fret. The landscape was the same for them all, it in itself did not give anyone the advantage over anyone else. A true warrior would make the best out of any landscape they were in. Right now that meant remaining unseen, and moving slowly. After listening for a moment to make sure no one was nearby Mixt jumped to a nearby tree and repeated the process, waiting for any teams to come by. He figured it wouldn't be too long considering many were scrambling under the time constraints, rushing to make as many captures as they could without realizing just how easily they could be running into a trap.

    After a while of sitting in the tree Phisoxa began to grow bored again and as a result jumped off the branch and landed on the ground. She brushed off her skirt of any dust or excess needles and began to walk through the forest. Surprisingly the forest was quiet due to its large size so conflicts could be spread out without being too close to each other. A owl could be heard hooting someplace in the dark canopy, giving off a eerie whistle as Phisoxa held her wooden sword at her side. She walked a bit farther before stopping in a open area in the forest and leaning down next to a pond that reflected the night sky. Phisoxa traced her fingers around the outline of a fresh footprint that stood on the pond's edge. " Someone has been through here..." She thought.

    While outside the academy tests were being run on the students, Dr. Traken sat inside his labratory, working with his instruments and his ingrediants. "I know it will work this time... It just has to..." He mumbled to himself. If a person were to ask around to any of the other teachers, they would all gladly say that the Doctor had been acting very strangely lately. Dr. Traken used to love seeing some of the new recruits tough out their first test and watch some of the seniors do so well. But he had become shut in... distant... cold... All in a pursuit of something. No one knew what it was. But the only time he was seen was in his class, otherwise he would dissappear. Now he sat inside his labratory, alone and isolated, working with his instruments and his ingrediants. Mumbling to himself. And no one knew why...

    Rako looked over the practice field, he looked around at the participants. This was perfect. This was the place where idea's were made and futures decided. And what better place to change those dreams into something wretched than here? Rako watched as the battle moved on at a incredibly slow pace. People simply jumping from tree to tree. Rako smiled. He knew he needed to be an example of what others should be. Rako decided to join in the fun of the battle, and add his own realistic twist to it. Rako jumped down into the forest. His appearence quickly changed to hide his true form and he began hunting down some of the players.

    The school was almost entirely deserted except for a few teachers on patrol duty and those students who weren't part of the Combat unit stayed behind and where either chilling out in the library or in their dorms. A dark haired woman in police attire was wandering the halls with a flashlight and a notepad, jotting down notes as she walked. She had been investigating rumors of a network of Eclipscion spies existing in the school. She stopped midway in one of the hallways in the science section of the school and entered a filing room to search for anything of interest. The storage room was packed with books and files of all sorts, some kept in glass cases that were locked from the outside. The police officer dusted off a stack of booklets, letting the dust fly out of light beam that her flashlight shone and into the shadow.

    Robert was in his dorm room studying history, he was fascinated by history due to not having a chance to learn it from where he came from. His window looked out over the forest where he could see the students practicing, he could easily take part in the fight and would probably win, but he had more important things to do and he didn’t really care about graduating from the academy.

    Mixt continued until he came to a point where he heard a few people navigating the nearby trees. He had expected more ground play, though it really all ends up the same. Mixt jumped down to the ground on to some leaves, making a sound that seemed accidental enough that the others might not realize it was bait. With a couple of breaths to feign panic he started to dart off in a quiet, but notable not silent matter. Sure enough it wasn't long before someone jumped down at him from the trees. Mixt quickly unsheathed his sword and deflected the attack.
    "You might not be a captain, but I couldn't resist the easy take down" said the other student.
    "Funny, I was going to say the same about you" Mixt said with a smirk before suddenly crouching down and activating the transmutation circle he etched on the handle of the wooden sword. Using the leaves, twigs, and grass at his feet as material, he elongated his sword and used that movement to mask the detachment of his sheath. Then he rushed forward at his opponent, shifting halfway through his attack to be swinging with the sheath rather than the sword. The opponent easily blocked but was caught off guard by the switch and fell victim the wooden sword striking a pressure point on his chest. Mixt quickly drew out a transmutation circle to make a hole to contain his now unconscious opponent, and with any luck a few others.

    Phisoxa's ears perked when she heard some commotion in the forest a ways off. " Finally some action..." Phisoxa thought out loud as she stood up and lightly stepped over the grassy ground towards the dark trees in front of her. She came to a stop and stood behind one, peaking her head out only to look out from behind the trunk at the man who was standing a few feet away. She tried to remain silent in hopes that she could jump him first before he saw her.

    Rako walked slowly and carelessly into the battle field. He heard noises from off in the distance, but didn't mind them. Suddenly a student exploded from the ground near Rako, apparently attempting to suprise him. The student quickly attacked at Rako with a sword, hoping to still use the surprise to his advantage. Rako dodge the attack barely and began to back up. The student leaped forward hoping to keep Rako off balance, and keep momentum on his side. The student continued slashing at Rako. Rako however used Darkness to shield himself whenever the sword would strike directly at him, and simply dodge when the sword was just a little off target. "My turn." Rako mumbled. Suddenly, Rako formed a sword from the darkness he created. He began parrying the students strikes. Soon, the student was on the defensive end of Rako's attacks! Rako didn't let up and added a second sword of darkness to aid in his efforts. The student vailently fought, but in the end, Rako was toying with him. Rako knocked the sword out of the students hand.

    "Well fought! But I don't remember you at all... Are you an obstacle we must face, because you are very tough!" said the student, admitting defeat and putting his hands up in the air as a sign of surrender.

    "Obstacle? No, not I." Said Rako "You needn't worry about me. You, however, will be a great example." Rako knocked the student out with the back of his fist. Rako then grabbed the student by the leg and headed towards the sounds off in the distance.

    Drei was sitting in a tree as the exam went on. His own team went on ahead of him, giving him plenty of time to plan out his actions. Still, the nearby noise did catch his attention. Looks like someone's having some fun. Carefully leaping down from the tree, he decided to go check it out. Carefully avoiding making any unnecessary noise.

    Rako dragged the body around carelessly, he almost wanted someone else to attack him. However no one did. Suddenly Rako stopped in the middle of the forest. He could sense someone nearby, but they were hiding from him. Rako looked around to find the source and after many moments had passed he locked onto a tree. Rako still could not see the person, but he knew they were there. Rako dropped the student's leg and walked over to the tree. Rako formed a sword of darkness in his hand and chopped down the tree Drei was sitting in with one slice.

    Phisoxa locked in on her target and was about to jump them before there was a sudden explosion nearby and she went flying back into the woods behind her and landed in the tall grass. Phisoxa got up on her hands and knees, trying to dust the forest debris off her clothes and checking over the bruises and scratches that now lined her legs after being thrown that far through the air. " Damn it... what the hell was that..." Phisoxa said with a growl in her throat as she quickly took off into the patch of woods behind her.

    Though the tree the Drei was in fell with a thud, he managed to get out of it before any harm was done. Guess I've been found. Looking at Rako, he waited to see just what would he do. The whole while planning on how he would get out of situation.

    Rako stared at him for a couple seconds with a plain face, not revealing a thing. It was somewhat awkward just staring into the eyes of your opponent, not doing anything else. Without warning, Rako created two swords of darkness and started slashing at Drei. However, when he was attacking, Rako had a huge grin on his face, showing his lust and joy for battle.

    The sudden attack surprised him, but he managed to jump back before any severe damage was done. As the attacks went on, Drei was trying to find some way he could counter attack or at least get him off guard. As thing stood now, he would be dodging until he ran out of space or got tired.

    Phisoxa sprinted through the trees as fast as she could till she reached a patch of old dead trees and stopped by them to take a breather. Once she caught her breath she slowly walked around the trunk and spotted two men having a face off in the forest. She stopped dead in her tracks and froze, hoping that none of them had spotted her in the darkness.

    Rako halted his attack. Rako then did something very odd, he threw one of his swords to the ground by Drei's feet. "That sword is made by black magic. I created it myself. From thin air. I want you to use it now to attack me, because watching you dance around is simply not fun. Trust me, you have my word that it will work for you as well as mine will work for me." Rako then waited for Drei to pick the sword up, so they could continue their battle.

    Drei stared at the sword before him for a quick second before picking it up. Just as he said, it felt like any other sword to him, still he was better with firearm, but he could at least mange. So without wasting any more time, he got into a ready position and waited for the fight to continue.

    Rako smiled and then laughed. "Don't you go and die on me now Rako then leaped at Drei, resuming his attack from before, with only one sword this time. Rako was, of course, playing with Drei, and as their fight went on, Rako intended on making it more difficult. But how would Drei do with just a standard sword battle.

    Fortunately Drei was decent at adapting to knew situation, so he managed to block his attack. There were a few moment were he attempted an attack of his own but mostly he was blocking. Still so long as he had the sword in his hand, he could make last.
