This is my first RP so any comments/suggestions welcome.
Anyways on with the story....

The fall of the Gorath

World: Ratyana. This comprises of three continents: Heran, Teray and Dathir. The game is set in Dathir and starts in the capital city of Ithio.

This is a map of Dathir: http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f294/Darkerfrog/MapofDathir.jpg
(when it loads it goes really small, just hover the mouse over it for a moment and then click the button in the bottom right)

Storyline: The Gorath, a group of power hungry individuals from many different races are steadiliy rising in power and are threatening to take over the continent. They have spies everywhere and will crush any opposition quickly and with as much publicity as possible to advertise their power. The other power groups of the region have finally gotten worried after more than fifty years of trying to keep it quiet and have decided to put together a strikeforce of 5-10 beings from the different power groups to break down this invasion. Neutral characters may also decide it is to their benefit to join the group and remove the Gorath. You will meet the others in the group at the Falling Griffin tavern and then leave for the Gorath’s HQ in Thyan. When you are leaving the city you may pick up neutral characters.

Races:

Humans: One of the most common races in Dathir they are skilled at hand to hand combat. They may become Magi. Most of the controlling figures in Dathir are humans. This does not mean they are the most powerfull race by any means, they just got there first.

Elves: About the same size as humans, Elves are of a slimmer build and tend to excell at ranged combat and stealthy jobs. Elves also usually prefer magics to weapons and so often become Magi. Elves are not as common as humans but are still common. They have little influence over the controlling powers but don’t seem to care unless it is a direct detriment to them.

Dwarves: Short in stature and usually muscular than humans and Elves. Dwarves use huge axes and warhammers in combat. Dwarves aren’t very often adept at magic and Dwarf Magi are rare. Dwarves usually keep to themselves but if roused can make dangerous enemies or powerfull allies. Most of the Dwarves of Ithio come from the caves to the east.

Half Elves: Crossbreed between Elves and humans. Same build as human but fairer skin. Prefer magic and ranged combat.

Halflings: Shorter than Dwarves but not as rotund. Use knives mainly and almost incapable of casting spells. Often rogues, Halflings are adept at swiftly pick pocketing and picking locks. Generally however a Halflings favourite pass time is eating.

Orcs: Orcs are brutish creatures around 5`11â€￾ in height with black to very dark purple skin. Orcs make weapons from lumps of metal and although they can use almost any weapon a human can they tend to just make a weapon out of anything they can lay their hands on. noone is sure where the Orcs came from.

Half-Orcs: Mutated Orc/human Crossbreeds. Same preferences as Orcs. Look like humans but features are considerably more twisted.

Werewolves: Humans that have inflicted Lycanthropy on themselves purposefully or otherwise. Some Werewolves can control their transformations whereas others cannot.
(Other races as well but these are the main playable ones)

Power Groups:

The Gorath:
Leader: Drak’myan (Half-Orc war veteran)
Main race: Any
These are a group of kleptomaniacs who don’t care what they have to do to remove you if you are in their way. This is the target of the mission. They have spies everywhere and many of their units are teams of highly skilled mercenaries and fighters. The only major weakness is that they only have a small retinue of Magi.

Magi Guild:
Leader: Hyrad Farfly
Main races: Human, Elves
This is where almost the entire population of Magi is concentrated making this a dangerous group to cross. They could probably take over if they really wanted to but other than placing a few well placed representatives in the right courts and councils they generally leave politics to the “lesserâ€￾ beings. Aside from this they are powerful and often useful allies.

Ithio Army:
Leader: General Louke
Main races: Any
Although not technically a power group, the resident army is where the brute force element of life is honed to perfection. Divided into regiments that tackle certain area’s the army can handle almost threat and having contacts here is always a good thing especially veterans that have places on the War Council of Ithio and even if possible placements in the Army of Dathir. Notable regiments include the 6th Beast Chargers (veteran mounted unit), 1st Golden Eagles (unit renowned for flying into battle on flying beasts such as Eagles), 1st Venerables (Veterans with all the best equipment) and many others. A very small magical regiment does exist but is hardly ever deployed.

The Underground Warriors:
Leader: ? Known only as the King Shadow
Main races: halflings and humans.
Little is known about this movement except that almost all shady dealings can be traced back to them. They will do anything for a price from assassinations to thievery and forging documents. They contain many different types of people from hired muscle to quick thinking assassains and the brains behind each operation. Although usually shunned by the other groups, their worth is being tested in this quest

The Merchants Society:
Leader: Maed Helbrac
Main races: Any
This is where anyone who sells or buys anything comes. The merchants society have a strong representation in the higher circles. Anyone from herb sellers to Dwarven miners selling precious metal is welcomed. A small military force is maintained in case of ‘disputes’

The Priesthood:
Leader: Archpriest Quetzol (koo-et-zol)
Main races: Any
The priesthood have extened themselves to this cause mainly to provide healers and herb knowledge. They do have many magic users but priests and clerics tend to be more defensive than Magi.

@Dragon444: Whats a 'veil half-dragon'? and is it actually possible to walk if your legs can bend in any direction? I'm not accepting this yet.

Is that better?
I changed his species, his abilities, and his description.

And a Veil Half-Dragon is a person with a mother or father who is a Veil Dragon. A Veil Dragon has shimmering scales, reverse jointed hind legs, eyes without pupils, and is capable to blend in with their surroundings (as long as they don't move).

_________________

I would have thought that the time taken to knock some one out would vary immensly depending on race, size, pain resistence, abilities, etc. One last thing, a half-elves maturing age is closer to 100 than 400. Other than this it's acceptable.

He has the traits of a leader but not the will to take the postion as one, though he recently took the postion of leader of his regiment after the tragic death of the former leader. He doesn't joke often and if he ever does it ends up becoming more of an insult than a joke.

Abilities: Trained by monks from the Yui-Ja Temple where he was razed, he leaned their weapon arts, using poles or other blunt weapons to attack an enemy instead of blades and other sharpened weapons. Also he was taught strange magics. Though no one is really sure, not even Kilik himself, are sure how or who taught him these skills but he has mastered them quite well. He is able to malnipulate plants to his will and even in some rare cases create them from nothing. He also knows some other magical spells used in his weapon attacks leared though his time with the Bleeding Phoenixes.

He found his future in the Ithio Army. Soon he became not only a member but the leader of the famed regiment the Bleeding Phoenixes. A group of warriors using a combination of magic and melee attacks.

Family: Talus' family perished when his homeland, Atlantis sank. His only surviving relative is not even blood related, it is his sister, Seraphine.

History: Talus was born in the city of Atlantis. He was raised as a potential heir to the throne, even though no one believed he was entitled to it. His entire family was born as a golden or silver dragon, but he was blue.

Ever since he was a child, he trained hard to prove his cousins wrong. He had an adoring sister, Raina, of whom everyone believed would ascend. When the day of the Choosing came, everyone crowded into the chamber that held Excalibur, the Sword of Kings. The trial was a dragon had to walk across the room and grasp the Eternal Sword, but it had a repelling aura. Member after member of the royal family tried as Talus stood by. Finally, it was Raina’s turn. She walked completely across the room, and she reached to grab the hilt. Everyone held their breath. Then, she flew backwards across the room.

Talus waited until everyone left, at least as he could see. High Queen Marduka stood by with a glowering Raina as he strode briskly across the room… and picked up the Sword of Kings. It had made its choice. A couple of days after the coronation, a jealous Raina sealed him in a mirror, where he remained for a millennia. Without the King’s mana to hold it up, Atlantis sank beneath the waves.

Later, he awoke and returned to the world. He recovered Escalight. He trained with a God. He gained immense power and finally settled down in the world of Luster. He ruled here for several years of peace with his half-sister, Seraphine, and her lover, Brearios. His loyal and fearsome vassal, Mia of the Bloody Fangs, stayed with him.

Name: Areon Lorath

Race: Gold Half Dragon

Gender: Male

Power Group: Ithio Army

Age: 200

Mature Adult Age: 500 (I'm guessing I don't know the mature adult age for dragon or half dragon)

Appearance: Is 6'3'' tall. He has gold scales, that can stop anything short of a sword or arrow/bolt, but a spear could be thrusted through him, and a great sword could hack him down. He has double jointed legs, a muzzle (Elongated part of his mouth, and nose), wings, tail, his eyes are goldish yellow in color, with black pupils that look like slits. He has no hair, and it seems he has no ears, but they are there. He has no horns. His feet look like a dragon's and he walks on his toes, there are one inch claws on his fingers and toes, they arent sharp enough to immediately cut something but if given enough force could cut. Some of his sharp teeth stick out of his mouth.

Clothes/Armor: He wears a Mithril Chain shirt that covers his torso and arms, on his upper leg his thigh on the front side is strapped a metal plate to his legs, same goes with the lower part of his legs, his shins, these four mithril plate armor pieces were specially made for him and wouldnt fit anyone other than perhaps another half dragon. His tail is less lightly armored with steel plating along the topside of his tail, offering full range of movement, the back of his legs and underside of his tail is exposed. Underneath his chainmail he wears a common linen shirt, and over it a common leather tunic, with laces acting as buttons, easily replaced after a battle, he wears common linen shorts on his legs, going just below his first set of knees, and then a leather pair of shorts going the same length, revealing the plates on his legs. For his hands he wears leather fingerless gloves, and for his feet he just wraps common linen on them. He carries with him a leather round shield.

Weapons: A Mithril Longsword sheathed at his side in a beautifully crafted elven scabbard. (His sword- http://www.gungfu.com/pics_general/pics ... rkness.jpg ), his claws, and a Wand. His sword is imbued with energies, one makes it so it doesnt break nor dull, and a magical enchantment is upon it, when the true wielder says a certain line of words the blade will ignite in flames, and will remain so until the wielder dismisses the spell.

Personality: Kind, Loyal, Adventurous, always ready to fight, not too ambitious, Quite honorable, The loss of a comrade doesn't hinder him the least, some say he doesnt care, but after the battle is done he pays his respects.

Abillities:

Excellent Swordsman: He excels at sword combat, his years of experience serves him well, and unlike the others in the army, he doesnt show slowing down in his sword moves, due to his very long lifespan.

Minor Spellcaster: He is able to cast simple spells; Flare: shoots a SMALL fireball. Ice Shards: Shoots small icicles at the enemy. Acid Splash: Shoots a small glod of acid at an opponent. Light: Light is emitted from the end of wand, or can be casted upon an item for a limited time, but with wand it could last forever until dismissed by caster. Heal Medium wounds: Will heal minor burns, deep sword gashes, arrow wounds, etc. but will not help if it's a serious burn or the sword cut is drived through a person, or if the person is near death.

Breath Weapons: Breathes fire, can snort a fireball, or breathe a stream of fire. Sleeping gas: A good escape weapon, if he doesnt want to injure someone.

Flight: Using his wings that unfold into a wingspan of 24 feet, the wings folded are 6 feet long, but since they consist of 3 bones, Areon can hold his wings at a rest space that they're are high as the halfway point between his two knees on his leg.

Low light vision: Able to see in the dark of night, or inside a cave.

Enhanced Physically by his draconic blood: He has more strength than a human could posess, his eyesight is as keen as an elf's, his hearing also as good as an elf, but since he's not a dragon it's significantly reduced, his smell is also quite good.

Part of the 1st Golden Eagles: He has an eagle of his own, even if he can fly himself.

Family:

Ahsha: His Gold dragon mother, lives in the northern mountains

Ronin Agustus: His human father -Deceased- was part of the Ithio Army, which made Areon join, keeping the tradition, when his father died of old age, he recieved his Mithril sword, and his father's eagle.

History: Born in the northern caves, but was taken away as a hatchling to Ithio to be raised by his father, and to join the Ithio Army, a wise course of action for his father for Areon was successful beyond his father's expectations, He wasn't mis treated but given great honor eventually for his galant and graceful fighting tactics, all taught by his father and improved upon by Areon. He is currently a Second Lieutenant among the 1st Golden Eagles, not the lowest rank but not the highest either.

Interesting... I think Celestial might be good for this RP.

Name: Celestial, The Holy Knight

Race: Angelic Dragon

Gender: Male

Power Group: N/A (He is not from Dathir)

Age: Unknown

Mature Adult at Age: Unknown

Appearance:
He is 5'11" and only has one sword of witch is made out of his energy.

Personality: Joy full and outgoing, Celestial will always protect those of whom he loves with his life.

Abilities: Celestial has many abilities but he is only known for his immortality.

Family: ShinRa-His brother.

History: The only thing that is known of Celestial is that his parents were killed when he was a baby. Only his brother knows what happened to their parents, but he won't tell Celestial until he is ready.
