Dragon Slayers (OOC - Casting Call)

[TearsoftheWorld]

And every strong villain has his relatively-strong underlings.

 

[Katamari Roller]

Well, I´ve got my character worked out. However, in developing her background I did a fair bit of world building that may clash with what Tears has envisioned and what the Dragon Warrior/King is like.

Also... I kinda took inspiration from Dark Souls/Bloodborne/Castlevania, which... uh... may make my character a bit too hardcore and edgy for the roleplay given what Tears may be going for.

So I think I may settle for something a bit more sexy and less edgy and drop the idea of playing an antagonist. But still, Tears, I could PM the character I made to you in case you want to take ideas from that.

(Because everybody liked Castlevania, right?)

I'll like to work alongside your antagonist Katamari. If you'll allow tears i'd like to play the Dragon king or if not a trusted minion of his. General par say. Been playing the good guys alot. Just one to switch sides and come up with many sinister things.

 

[Katamari Roller]

If Tears gives us the go ahead, I´ll send my char to the both of you and see whether she fits the theme and can be worked with/reworked, or not.

 

[TearsoftheWorld]

Hit me up! I love getting messages

 

[Stalzyn]

Seriously when is this thing getting off the ground. Its more than a week of casting calls. And the anticipation though good is also annoying.

Kabalish rage mode
http://i.imgur.com/oQWSJpb.jpg
Name: Kabalish Chiron
Age: 197 (looks 29)
Gender: Male
Alignment: Lawful Evil
Height: 6'3
Race: Half dragon/half human
Title: Dragon King
Description: See pic
Personality trait: Remorseless, Hot tempered, a man of his words yet knows no honor.
Background: Kabalish was a miracle child born from the coupling of Ra'arkn the dragon who could take any form and a human queen. Kabalish survived child birth while his mother journeyed to the afterlife. The king angered from the shame brought upon his household and name sought revenge. He visited the legendary library of Shin where he learnt of a horrible truth, Ra'arkn was immortal. King Cortgrake still wanting vengeance decided the alternative, to seal the king of all beasts forever.
With the help of the seven kingdoms, it was done. How and where Ra'arkn was sealed remain unknow till today.

 

[Stalzyn]

King Cortgrake of Falkreath still vexed had the young Kabalish thrown over a cliff. No need having such a bastard demon around. He thought. Little did he know that little Ka had developed wings already and though it wasn't strong enough for flight, it did slow his fall. Kabalish survived, but had a large scar crossing his right eye.
****
A century has passed, and nothing had been heard about both child and beast. Ka had survived the years thanks to his natural instinct and had become the leader of the Orcs. How he accomplished such a feat, he wouldn't share. Rumor goes that at a young age, he had ventured deep into the hole the Orcs dwell in and had single handedly beaten and eaten their leader, then declared himself king, but ofcourse its just rumors.
Their was another rumor though frighteningly following the first. News of a large army of Orcs gathering at Orptr'acn soon reached every city around the known lands. Orcs migrating from distant lands, across horizons to attend the call.

 

[Stalzyn]

The Call from the king of all Orcs, the Orcaez. Rewind to hundred years ago and it was just a stony ground where a little child cradled in nothing but his wings laid helplessly crying.

Caleb Adair

Is there room for another or has it started? If so I can edit my post to nothingness

Name: Caleb Adair - Previously Caleb Ælfric (more on that below!)
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Race: High Human - Human race whose lineage can be traced back to the Ancient Elves (think the Dúnedain/Rangers from LOTR)
Occupation: Adventurer/Wanderer
Appearance: 5'10, Medium build, Blonde Hair, Brown Eyes.

Character Info:
Brought up as Caleb Ælfric in the rich trading Kingdom of Bronswick on the coast of the Northern Seas, he was the second son of King Æthelward. As befitting the second son of a mighty King, Caleb was being trained in the arts of warfare, diplomacy and the arts, alongside his older brother Cynefrid. Caleb preferred to fight with a sword and shield in leather armour and light chain, using his speed and a quick step to protect himself, while often going two handed when the fight got rough.
On his 17th Birthday, Caleb's father granted him his first ring, and told him to go into the land and find a Warband of his own. Caleb, taking on this great honour, started scouring the land for honourable men and woman who would live and fight alongside him.
During this time, the warming of the Northern Climate had been happening. While brining much wealth to the Northern Kingdom (they had decades of bumper harvests and were able to grow wine), a great tragedy was unfolding. In the far north a dragon only known in the common tongue as the 'Great Terror' was waking from its slumber, while the ice cave it had been trapped in was melting. It escaped from its icy prison and flew to the sky with a mighty roar. Sensing the wealth of life and wealth of Bronswick, it did what all dragons tend to do and flew south.
The dragon flew over Caleb on its travels, and seeing where it was heading he rushed back. Half of his green warband split, fearing for their lives against such a terrible creature.
The city itself was caught unaware. Thousands died and the kingdom burnt. The King and his oldest son tried to fight back, but their weapons were useless against such a beast. They all died in a torrent of blood and fire. The dragon settled in the great castle on the cliff and resumed its slumber after releasing its spawn eggs throughout the city.
After a two days solid ride, Caleb arrived with his ragged band. Seeing the destruction of the city, he rushed in, sword in hand. He and his band fought their way through the dragon spawn, till he reached the castle gates. Their he found the remains of his fathers armour, half of it burnt to ash, alongside his sword. He fell picked it up and it was still warm, and felt lighted than it used to. His band pulled him away from that burnt place, and they joined the refugees heading south from the great calamity. For the years after he has wandered the southern lands, looking for solace in the arms of many women and bloody fights.

TL,DR: Caleb was once a noble son of a king. He went out one day and a dragon destroyed his home and killed his family. Went back, picked up his fathers old sword and ran away. Went south, hates dragons (I have my eye on you Kabalish!) and has a fierce independent streak.

Personality: Cool tempered till provoked or aroused. Will do what it suits him, but can be convinced to go a different path if his honour string is pulled hard enough. Initially distrustful but intensely loyal if won over.

Sorry about the long post!

 

[TearsoftheWorld]

It's never a good idea to rush a story. I'm writing the opening post, examining characters, responding to private messages, working on additional RPs, and dealing with RL responsibilities.

The RP will be up soon enough.

 

[BigCRT]

Cool, yeah my post was more of a background story which I got a bit of a head of myself with.

Oh you don't have to worry about that, it was fine.
Okay not 100% fine since i want to make some few corrections and notes.
Now since Caleb and Kabalish's destinies from your post are interwined, lets make some things clear.
* if Kabalish attacked Caleb's home, that means Caleb's home is Falkreath. And Falkreath was an elven city.
* if Caleb's home is Falkreath, that means the king (i named him Cortgrake in my post but we can also use yours too.) re-married after the former queen, Kabalish's human mother died during childbirth.

 

[BigCRT]

Don't worry about that, Caleb and Kabalish's story only cross now in Fairhollow. I'm assuming that there is more than one dragon in this world, and that you are the child of another one. Caleb just doesn't like dragons (for obvious reasons!), I called you out partly as a joke and partly as a way of reflecting my characters prejudices.

Alright.
Now we're clear.
If you want i can shake things up.
Kabalish as the dragon king can implore Great Terror to lay waist to Fairhollow, so your parts can cross again.
Thus, i can set up a situation where you might have to choose between sweet revenge and honor.

 

[Stalzyn]

I was thinking of a suitable reason why Kabalish should be focusing all his hordes on a tiny city called Fairhollow. And i came up with this, tell me if it suits Tears.
Its a continuation from Kabalish's background/history.
****
Months after the rumor of gathering Orcs, Falkreath one of the seven ancient cities fell. Overrun by the Orcaez's hordes. A month after the fall of Falkreath, a letter was sent to a small city called Fairhollow. Asking them to surrender what they claim they know not or face extinction.
This are * the seal of truth and * the blood of the keeper.
The seal of truth was used to seal the king of beast Ra'arkn and so can unseal him, the blood of the keeper is needed to give life back to the dragon.
I'm thinking the keeper should be you tears, you being a female mage and all. Just an idea.
Lol

 

[Stalzyn]

Also Ka has another motive in ressurrecting his dragon father. He wishes to get all Ra'arkn's powers for himself and for that he needs the Orb of Geiger.
(A reason for the adventurers to travel out of Falkreath at a certain time.)

 

[Stalzyn]

I never did state the dragon king's abilities. So i'm just listing it out now, its open for modification and corrections so you're free to air your opinion.
ABILITIES.
* rejuvenate very quick both in healing and energy. Due to his dragon genes.
* has inhuman strength and speed. Think of a dragon's strength and speed fixed into that little body of his.
* can't belch out flames but can channel it into his hands or into his (i don't know the name of the weapon in his hand there, i'll come back and edit when i do.) before pouring it out.
HUMAN SIDE: A master strategist, swift in both skill and words.
WEAKNESS:
* ice, cold, water, (blizzard magic does heavy damage)
* Needs to be in a hot bath, under the scorching sun, or in a flaming spa every 26 hours or risk blacking out because of his mixed parentage.

So HEROES, what do you think?

Maybe, but I'm fairly new and I don't want my backstory dominating this story at the start. In any case Caleb is walking around a part of the world where the destruction of his home town is only legend and rumour. He is a refugee and a foreign wanderer. In that case, people would recognise him as from the north, but they wouldn't immediately know his lineage or past.
Also, in my head I am thinking that the Great Terror is a fair too destructive being for the start of our story, kinda like the Super Tank the others were talking about earlier.

Well ofcourse, such a beast won't be appearing until the group has progressed in levels, faced impossible hordes and so on.
From the beginning, i'm thinking of just Orcs, then one or two wizards, then a shape shifter to divide the group, and then, and then, and then, .....and then Great terror.

 

[Stalzyn]

Hope this won't be another bump

 

[Stalzyn]

If you are interested in joining this thread, please post your character profile. Once there's enough interest, I'll have the IC posted.

Premise: The small town of Fairhollow comes under attack by a band of marauding orcs, led by a fierce dragon warrior named Kabalish. A group of adventurers has to band together to stop them from completely destroying the town, and they are soon drawn into a quest that will take them across the known world.

Yes, the thread is very sexual in nature, but I'd only like serious writers to apply.

~ ~ ~
I'm still very much interested in this story and would not want it to be another abandoned project. So i'm thinking of starting the thread and keeping it open for tears to join when she gets back.
Is that okay?​

 

[Stalzyn]

I still don't want to believe that this has been abandoned. So i'm putting it up once more.

 

[landiek]

This sounds exciting I'm having trouble finding the story link...
