-Can they defend the kingdom?

Plot:

In a galaxy where kingdoms wage war... where war won't stop until nothing is left. Kings allied and torn apart by fate. A galaxy where no one is safe... not as long as war wages on...

There are many kingdoms... but at the highest peak, there are only four: Xilderan, Zigbar, Fantrem and Skazenthem. All four reside on the same little planet of Kritoz. But don't think there is all peace among the strongest kingdoms... Xilderan and Skazenthem are allied, while Zigbar and Fantrem are opposing.

Xilderan... a kingdom that once stood tall amongst the others. They were the highest kingdom in the galaxy. The great king Pizar was a warlord throughout the galaxy. While out on a mission to Zigbar, there was word that the other kingdoms were planning on overthrowing the great Xilderan. Pizar was assassinated, while on duty, along with the Queen, who was brutally killed during her daily venture in the market place. Slowly, the other kingdoms began to dominate over Xilderan.

A prince was turned a king, perhaps before his time. Xilderan was slowly dying, and faster than anyone anticipated. Zigbar... the great nation that was now on top, leaving Xilderan towards the bottom. This kingdom of Zigbar has attempted an attack on the gates, but luckily were driven back before they reached the kingdom's inner courts. Zigbar wages war against the dying kingdom of Xilderan.

Zigbar... ruled by a powerful warlord named Vernon, one who is not held back by moral. His only quest is for power. Devouring smaller kingdoms is a hobby of his. He also doesn't mind getting his hands wet and engaging in battle himself. He sees Xilderan as a target for power... merely power. He'd kill all in Xilderan just for a better reputation. He has many evil mages at his disposal. One mage was already killed by Ryo (White Master Mage). But there are many others, who ally themselves with this ruthless king. Will you be able to defend the kingdom?

My Template:

Name: Ryo Matsura
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Faction: King
Appearance: Ryo Matsura has blue hair and dark brown eyes. He can usually be found on his throne.
Weapon(s): Xilderan Premium Katana - The most powerful and well crafted weapon throughout Xilderan. The blade is sharp enough to split conkrete.
Dagger - Small dagger equipted on his belt.
Biography:

Ryo was born the first and only offspring of the great king and Queen of Xilderan, Elemar and Pizar (despite his other children with other women). At young ages, Ryo was trained by the best, learning how to best win a battle against opposers. In a ruthless and insane kingdom like Xilderan, he needed to learn the concept of battle early. He was also trained by a Mage, who taught him simple magic techniques, to further his studies. Though prince of Xilderan, Ryo was far from spoiled, forced to train, even in the late hours of the night.

Failure was not an option, and the trainer wasn't merciful. Ryo can remember harsh winter months, spending time training in the wilderness, honing is skills. Ryo learned to hunt everything as a child, and practiced his techniques on live victims. It wasn't easy to be the heir of Xilderan's thrown. You had to be tough, something Ryo was forced to be.

Upon coming upon his teenage years, Ryo didn't attend school, and his only friends were soldiers and generals, twice his age. He learned early the strategy and tactics of war. Though he was the most envied boy in the kingdom, Ryo didn't know his father well, and barely even had a normal conversation with him. His mother was good to him, and for that, Ryo was well behaved.

There was no time for women, though Ryo blushed at the fact that women his age were crazy about him. His officials wouldn't let him within ten feet of them. They would make him weak, he was told. Not only that, but he was too young to feel women's warmth yet. Instead of meeting these girls, he had to give out autographs. "

-Being prince sucks sometimes...

When Ryo reached the age of seventeen, his teachers gave him a sword... one stronger than any other. This katana was not regular, but instead a special katana, with spells casted on it to ensure its magic was substantial. When this sword is swung, small blue sparks decorate its glory. It was the perfect gift, for a well behaved prince.

Outside of the castle, Ryo might be seen as snobbish, or even stuck up, but he is far more stressed than most people know. If the kingdom failed, it would fall upon his shoulders to take the blame, and the other kingdoms would laugh at him. It was up to him to maintain a healthy kingdom, and throne. Though Ryo doesn't socialize much, while he was single, he was the most admired bachelor in all of Xilderan, and possible all of the galaxy.

-The Matsura throne will not fall...

When his parents died, Ryo was outraged, despite the wonderful previlege of being King. For the first time in Xilderan's history, a king had died due to assassination. Xilderan's security was tightened, and Ryo stopped the first assault on the kingdom. Ryo proved himself a strong king, by facing the legendary White Master Mage, who was sent from Zigbar to assassinate the young king. Ryo took out his sword, and for the first time killed someone with the powerful weapon. Can he redeem his throne?

Or will his kingdom surely fall?

...Only time will tell...

"Defend the Kingdom!"

Name: Yuki

Age: 21

Gender: Female

Faction: Mage

Appearance: Yuki stands at 5’0, a fairly small height for her age. Her build is slender, but in good proportion for her short stature. She has unusually large hands and feet. With her pale skin, alluring, incandescent blue eyes, and long, bright blonde hair, Yuki’s appearance is rather childlike - which is furthered by her personality.
Yuki tends to wear a long, white, hooded cloak, with a silver ring, and a necklace with a feather.

Weapon: Yuki knows a number of methods of hand-to-hand combat, but also carries a white staff, to aid her magical abilities.

Biography: The first child in her family, Yuki’s parents were somewhat disappointed when she was born. Her father, being part of a long line of soldiers, had his heart set upon having a son to carry on his legacy, and so, the birth of a daughter was not made to be the happy occasion it usually was made to be. Before her first birthday, her mother gave birth to another child - a son, much to her parents’ delight - and so, was second in line for everything, all because of her gender. As she grew up, she grew increasingly keen to impress her parents, and everyone around her - but, unfortunately, failed, thanks to her community’s fixation on the military. It soon became clear that Yuki was not cut out for a career in such martial occupations.
However, at the age of ten, Yuki visited her grandmother; who opened up another path for her. Her grandmother, too, tired of the fixation on males, and the belief that women were to stay indoors and take care of the housework, decided to teach her granddaughter the art of magic. Yuki took to this quickly, and, eventually, it was decided that she was to live with her grandmother.
After years of hard work, and difficult training, Yuki became a high-class mage, with incredible skills - which she now uses to serve her country. Despite being cast aside by her parents in aid of the military, Yuki does not hold a grudge towards them. In fact, she is keen to impress them.

Personality: Yuki is, generally, a happy young lady. Courteous and kind, she loves nothing more than using her power to help others. She is rather childlike in her innocent, trusting nature, and her urge to please those around her. She is playful, but knows when acting mature is the best option. Some believe her to be wise above her years.

She practiced her swordmanship whenever she had spare time or whenever people weren't looking. Many told her that a princess shouldn't be the way that she was. Sayuri never looked down on the poor and didn't think of herself too highly, thinking that she was better than others.

When she turned 19, she was told that she was going to get married to the prince of Xilderan. Although she opposed at first, she knew she had no choice and just accepted it. When she heard about the death of the king of Xilderan, she knew hat their kingdom was going to be different and that a war was going to rage on. Sayuri sighed a relief that she knows how to fight and that she would fight if a big war raged on.

[Shadow_Heart]

"Defend the Kingdom!"

Name: Arch-Mage Keldanis
Age: 29
Gender: Male
Faction: Mage
Appearance: http://www.wowwiki.com/images/thumb/...lthuzad3dz.jpg
Keldanis's odd skeletal form stands at an impressive 7ft. Around his eyes always seems to be shrouded and you can see two small bright flames where his eyes are meant to be. His armor is covered in strange looking runes and two chains magically circle his body. As strange as his appearance already is, he has no legs but instead, floats. He has 4 horns on his head. 2 on his upper jaw and another two on what shows on his forehead. He can often be found in the Library or around the throne.
Weapon: He appears to have no weapons but uses powerful magic instead.
Biography: A bookworm from the day he was born, Keldanis would spend most of his time in the library, as a child. He learned himself how to read. He would spend night after night reading all sorts of books. Horror, fiction, the whore lot. One study really had his attention, as a child...Magic. His family was not rich, the negative, infact. They were living in the pits. He would often have to steal books and most of the time, failing.

Going into his early teens, Keldanis remained a book lover. He kept up his habit of stealing books as well. At this point, he had learned basic magic, again, by himself.

While in another book heist, he was caught by a figure in a robe. tried his best to run from the man or woman, shooting basic frost spells to slow the person down but the figure seems immune to the spells and eventually caught Keldanis. What happened next was one of these "In the right place at the right time" moments. The robed man or woman removed it's hood to show the face of a rather young woman. This woman was a great mage by the name of Delana. Delana took Keldanis as her apprentice. She saw potential in him, not because of his spells but because of this gut feeling she had. Delana took him to a mountain range and trained him for the years to come.

Delana was a relentless teacher. She would train Keldanis for many hours each day and very little rest. Some days they would spend moving around the mountains to some of the small outposts there.

Keldanis sneaked away from his master one night to an open spot where he could try out a new ritual. He had found the ritual in a book he found buried in some snow. The spell was apparently meant to give the user a suit of armor made of some sturdy stuff, enhancing the users magical ability
10x. He knew this spell would not get his masters approval but his childish side came out. He attempted the ritual. A large flash of light filled the open spot a long with a large chill. His masters eyes snapped open and she rushed to the spot. There stood a monster, 7ft, skeletal, floating and a chilling air around it.

Delana, jumping to conclusions, attacked. Keldanis, in current shock and confusion of what just happened, gave no hesitation on attacking back. Frost, fire, arcane, all forms of magic flew across the opening. In the end, the clearing was filled with burn marks and other scars on the land and Delana stood encased in ice and Keldanis looking into the sky...

It took Keldanis a few minutes to figure out what he had done. He had killed his own master! The one he had grown to admire and love like a mother. He did not know what to do. After nights of sitting in the opening, not even knowing he had not eaten or drank anything, he decided to head back to the city. When he arrived at the city, he was obviously questioned by the guards.

After days of interrogation and finally being able to prove he was a citizen, they let him do as he wished. He got many stares and insults.

Until the age of 21, he remained in the darkest most empty part of the library, studying. He was then called the king by a soldier. When he arrived ,he was given the shock of his life. He was named the first Arch-Mage of the Kingdom. The kings reasoning was because of a letter Delana had sent him the very day before her death. The note had read that Keldanis had had surpassed her, only slightly and that the kingdom needed an Arch-Mage.

After a long discussion on the matter, Keldanis agreed but was then given a question. 'Where is Delana ,anyway?' Keldanis quickly made a lie, 'We we're ambushed by bandits.' came the fast reply.

From that day, Keldanis was known as "Arch-Mage Keldanis" and has been good friends with all of those in the royal blood line. When news of the kings death reached his skeletal ears, he was..well...heart broken. He locked himself in the library like he did as a child.

OOC: Wow! Quick reactions... well people, you can still sign up, but we have enough spots filled to begin...

Defend the Kingdom
.:Game Master:.

The Beginnings:

Peace... it was very peaceful and it was very suspensful. The sun was sinking, and it gave off a beautiful effect onto the castle columns. Ryo sat on the throne. His eyes were shut, and his fist was holding up his head. He was sleeping. It had been a while since he had had some quality sleep, and even as he slept, he was still stressed. He hadent slept in his master bed since... he couldn't remember. All he knew is, he needed sleep, or he would die of energy loss.

His fist slipped, letting his head fall. He then woke up, nearly hurting himself with disapointment. He then angrily reached for his pocket, pulling out a map. These seemed to be the battle plans. He was enraged, and at his own self. Slamming a fist on the chair arm, he adjusted himself. He put a hand on his temple, trying to subside the headache that was growing. Using a small healing technique, he took away the majority of the pain.

If he were weaker, he'd have cried... but in Xilderan, it was rare even for an male adolescant to shed a tear, much less the king. He curessed his sword, looking at the map, and going over battle formations. It seemed the castle was empty, and he looked beyond the map to see the castle steps and the foyer, in which the throne was in. Past the columns, he could see the sun setting. It was almost night. Xilderan could be under attack at any moment...

He then heard someone walking up from behind him. He gripped his sword...

"Defend the Kingdom!"



Name: Archmage Zhern Rhuzan
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Faction: Mage
Appearance: Wears black robes, and matching attire, with the hood usually up; Silver eyes with the irises shaped like crescent moons; hair color gray; slightly tanned skin; stands at 5'9;
Weapon(s): Staff of Lunar Eclipse, the wood black, and the head a silver moon; A dagger, strapped by an intricate leather thong to his left wrist, hidden underneath his robes;

Biography:

Born with a love for the magical arts, and the fire of it singing in his blood, he was taught magic for several years, his woodcutting father paying the bill. Then, after his father's death, through an unknown circumstance involving a saw and sycamore tree, his father was dead on impact.

His mother committed suicide by drowning in a lake after recieving the letter and money for his father's death at work, leaving Zhern to eventually sell his family's home and estate, for not bad of a price, and begin his wanderings, learning and acquiring new powers along the way throughout his ventures.

Some years later he came back to Xilderan, and took his Tests of Sorcery at the age of twenty, young espicially for one of his caliber to take the Tests. He went in a whole being, and came back out alive.

His mind was warped, going from the happy, heathly, man, to the sadistic, cruel, cynical, unhealthly. His eyes went from their original hazel brown to where the whites of his eyes were the color of the metal silver, and his irises were shaped like crescent moons, pitch black.

His hair went from the sun-loving dirty blonde, to the darkness-loving grey; He was given the Staff of the Lunar Eclipse due to his acccomplishments and skills as a mage, his power soon to grow.

After his warp from sun to moon, he began his studies and remained in Xilderan's Castle Library, poring over and reading ancient text from times long past, by the light of blue flamed candles of his own making.

His recent jump to Archmage was only from his skill in magic and the recent thought of war coming to Xilderan.

"Veritas vos liberatius."

[sakurablossom07]

Sayuri walked out of the room and into the balcony. She looked up and saw that the sky was filled with stars and a big moon. She looked around and saw how peaceful the night was. She sighed as she couldn't go to sleep at all. Walking around the place, she saw guards on their duty and maids doing some late night duties. As she walked passed the throne room, she saw Ryo, thinking over the war plans and decided not to bother him. Walking passed it, she walked outside towards the garden and sat at a bench, looking into the lake.

"I hope everyone at home will be okay once the war breaks out," she thought to herself.

[.:Game Master:.]

Ryo then turned to see that it was just his wife, passing to the garden. He hadent spoken to her in... he couldn't even remember. He threw his battle plans to let them fall as they pleased, and headed for the garden room. As he walked, he ran into a guard.

"Oh! Sorry sir! Won't happen again!" The guard apologized, bowing on his knees.

"Its fine... really, no need for an apology." He said with a smile. Behind his smile was a frown. He wasn't fine. He was stressed to the max, and felt like giving up. He then walked into the garden room.

"Sayuri... how was your day?"

[sakurablossom07]

Sayuri looked up to the person that was talking to her. She saw that it was Ryo.

"It's been kind of a slow day today, but it's all right I guess," she said, answering his question.
"It seems like it's been a while since I've seen you. You seemed to be working really hard with your war tactics," she said, worriedly.

As Sayuri was looking around, she noticed that one of her personal maids was waiting for her at the entrance of the garden. She knew what she wanted and it was for her to go to sleep.

"Geez, I'm married and yet, it feels like I have a babysitter who's watching me every second," she thought to herself.
"Well, good luck planning out your tactics. I better go before my babysitter tells me about getting my 'beauty sleep," she said sarcastically as she walked towards her room.

[.:Game Master:.]

Ryo grabbed her arm, almost in desperation.
"Wait!" He then looked at her and then at her maid. "Keep me company... please?" He then turned to the maid. "I'm sure an hour off schedule won't affect tomorrow's." He said. He sounded desperate.

Just the feel of her soft, warm skin, made him want to be around her more. It was much better than discussing confusing plans with battle-hardened, rough, cursing and harsh speaking soldiers all day. He demanded the presence of his Queen...
