Seven Evils [RPG]

[Akamai Deredal]

Howdy all. As a select few of you know... I've started a wanna-be novel called "Seven Evils." And Pip and I have come up with an idea. We wish to start an RPG of the novel, with 5 other Mooters. I'll be more than happy to post everything we need... so, feel free to join!
---------
The main idea for the story is told in the title. “Seven evils.” A long time ago, there were seven guardians picked to guard against the evils that plagued the land of Kodanya. These evils are more commonly known as hate, greed, deceit, suspicion, fear, violence and death. (Hate leads to violence, violence leads to fear, fear leads to deceit, deceit leads to suspicion, suspicion leads to greed and greed leads to death.) Each race--Elf, dragon, human, satya, kostalya, lynethe and the nirav--is weak against a certain evil, making them very prone to it, and each are practically untouched by another evil. The first seven guardians had stones made of different precious gems, with a rune in their own language in it, and that is the one they are strong against (or in other words, the one they guard). But one guardian had ill intentions, and thus tainted the seals which were meant to be used as seals for the main center stone which holds a layer of each single seal and doomed his comrades. Each guardian slowly succumbed to the taints on their seals, and slowly became the monsters that they were meant to fight against. In a final retaliation, the seven sealed themselves away beyond the gates with the very magic used to create the entire thing. At one point, a small group of elves (seven to be exact) decide to gain an unknown power of some sort. Their purpose was to reopen the seals, not knowing what lay behind them. The warnings were written in each language, but the elves were too hasty, and continued on to the ‘temple’ for the ceremony. The stones recognized that their holders were not of the proper race, and something went awry. The first layer of the center stone shattered, releasing the first evil; hate. A war soon followed--the ‘disease’ had attacked the elves the strongest, they being the weakest against it and driving them mad with the alien emotion.

As if being called to their duty, a new group of guardians slowly make their way to meet in an Oceanside town, bringing them together. One of each race, some don’t get along with each other as well as they were meant to. The war had brought many ill feelings towards certain races.

[Akamai Deredal]

Name: Akuji
Race: Human
Age: 28
Appearance: Looks as if he is 21 years of age. Is of average height, 5'8" and has very strong arms, but not wide build. Short cut blond hair and dark brown eyes. Despite his history of war, he is virtually unscarred, except for a crescent shaped gash that runs down his left cheek.
Personality: Well spirited and rarely depressed. Finds a way to put humor in to the most dire times. Not often pessimistic, neither optimistic, but usually takes a factual point of view. (If you ask him if the pint is half empty or half full, he'll down it and tell you that it doesn't matter as long as it's ale)
Weapons: Akuji practiced fencing every day as a child for sport, then after many years of heavy labor he developed finely toned and strong arm muscles. When the Hatred first began to spread, Akuji switched his attention to a long sword, a weapon that had just been invented as a heavier sword made for actual combat. When the first war broke out his put his skills to use, parrying and lunging more than one normally would. His practiced paid off, and he survived the war unscathed by the Elves. He also has a natural affinity for white magic, something which he never really studied until his proficiency was recognized by a master in the art. His knowledge of it was still at an intermediate level when the war broke out, at which time he abandoned the study and went to fight.

Name: Istas
Race: Elf
Age: 157
Appearance: Crystal blue eyes and shoulder length, straight blonde hair. 5’7”, slim and fragile looking.
Personality : Calm and forgiving. Never shows any anger or any emotion really, fairly neutral most of the time. Patient and a quick learner. Very trusting; innocent and naive. Comes off as a very neutral person, not an introvert or an extrovert. Not easily angered, or unbelievably chipper either. Fairly level-headed and down to earth.
Weapons: Doesn’t know any other weapon than the bow, and occasionally applies her knowledge of magic. Uses her reasoning skills to better understand what attack she should use, and whether she should do anything at all. At first she doesn’t really realize that she has to fight to survive, but eventually the realization sinks in and she becomes a hardened warrior, calm and unperturbed during her fighting.

Name: Zeroun
Race: Satya
Age: 130-140
Appearance: Very Tall (6'7") Weighs 260 pounds but isn't wide due to his height. Has light brown/reddish hair and green eyes. His skin is well tanned with a clay like tint to it. He has more scars on his hands and lower arms than anywhere else.
Personality: Rough and strong willed person. Once he starts something, he never lets go until he finishes. Doesn't take much joking lightly, especially sarcasm. Speaks loudly, and almost always.
Weapons: A massive sword weighing 40 pounds, reaching 4 feet in length and one and a half feet in width. The blade has three large runes of a green tint on either side.

Name: Tarun
Race: Dragon
Age: 62
Appearance: Pure white scales cover most of Tarun’s body, except for the larger ones on his neck, stomach and chest, and the shielding ones that cover his front forelegs, and feet, as well as part of his back legs, which are all silver. Eyes of pure silver stand out like a pair of polished sword blades, and the thin membranes of skin that stretch out across his wings match his shielding scales. Claws and teeth are all razor sharp and never dull. Silver spikes scale from the back of his head down to the tip of his tail, with intervals of two feet between them.
Personality: Inquisitive and ever curious, as most young dragons are. Usually fairly serious, at least when there’s a need to be. Open-minded and excepting, he hardly ever carries a grudge against anyone, but after the war that changed. Now very untrusting towards creatures he does not know, for fear of his life. Doesn’t rush headlong into things, but rather thinks them through. Hates being hasty and rash if it’s avoidable. Would do anything to defend his friends, or his kin.
Weapons: Do you really need to ask? (Fire, claws, teeth, and elemental magic)

[PippinTook]

fyi; I call Tarun!

[Akamai Deredal]

Name: Valmair
Race: Nirav
Age: 180
Appearance: Stands roughly 5'7" and weighs 200 pounds. Has black fur all around him and a yellow pair of eyes. His teeth are wickedly sharp and pure white, and the claws in his paw/hands are a contrasting black.
Personality: Is a "lone-wolf" type of person, keeps to himself and takes care of himself. Has a very aggressive attitude but ironically doesn't have a bad temper. Is greatly loyal to what he calls "his pack," whoever that may be.
Weapon: Carries a long and spiked mace with long indents in the handle to fit his claws in to, giving him a much better grip. Valmair carries a large shield in his other hand, sufficient for blocking most blows until a good opening for attack comes. When need be, he will use a pair of poisonous, spiked knuckles that fit perfectly on both his hands. While he uses these knuckles, Valmair is much more free to cast his spells.

Name: Rhiannon
Race: Lynethe
Age: 24
Appearance: 5'5", Fairly slender, lean muscles, almost a wiry sort of look. Acidic green eyes and straight red hair that falls just below her shoulders. Dark skinned and nearly as graceful as the elves. Usually hides her features under a veil or hood of some sort. Really sarcastic.
Personality: Fairly friendly, but very edgy when she first meets people. Grows uncomfortable under the "spot light" or around large groups of people. Trustworthy, but untrusting. Easy to anger on certain subjects (past, alliances etc), and quick to start a fight (and I don't mean word fight, lol)
History: Ten spikes, each ten inches long, from tip to end of hilt. Hilt consists of a four inch extension wrapped for grip, ad ends where a plate sticks out and curves downward into four miniature spikes, each about 2 inches long and half an inch in diameter. Main spike is hollow and is etched with runes in a spiraling pattern. It’s six inches long, and an inch and a half in diameter. Always sharp, and cursed too, by the way.

Name: Nakia
Race: Kostalya
Age: 74 - Appearance = early 30’s
Appearance: Sky-blue tinted skin, with light violet eyes and thick curly black hair that falls at about her mid-back. 6’2”, feminine features, appears to be more fragile than Istas, but only appears.
Personality: Always incredibly cheerful. Full of laughter. Has a good humor and rarely ever gets angry with anyone. Never seen depressed, and always smiling. Very eccentric and stubborn in her beliefs. Good natured, even when in one of her rare arguments.
Weapons: Magic of course, and when that fails (which it rarely ever does) she resorts to using her shurkins (throwing stars) and two thin bladed daggers.
