So as many of you know, Moon colored in my profile and I feel quite rejuvenated with some color in my life. As fewer of you know, I feel obligated now to roleplay more (with my colorful new avatar), and have been mulling the idea of a new nation. This nation will be similar to Gauldin in its medieval, fairytale presentation, similar to Medan in that it will have roots in its culture and language, but with all the efficiency of a well-run administration (taking some concepts from Goraia). It will be slated to try and become the next major nation, an inviting place for new people to start with the same level of activity, defense, and legitimacy as Gauldin and Isra. Reynald Armand and I have teamed up behind the scenes to bring you Kuaria, a nation started of the refugees from Medan/Goraia and other various regional actors (tribes and such, perhaps). As such it will share borders with Goraia and will probably directly north or occupy a land between Goraia and Isra (considering some content lends to the notion of there being some undefined amount of space in between the two). I am seeking volunteers for this project as of right now, and invite anyone interested to respond here in this thread. Very soon, planning will proceed to a more "official" stage, which may involve a pad or google docs if required (though we have most of this down already!). Ideas for quests and events are as valuable as the creation and commitment of characters to our cause--our mission is to play the role of "nation" as defined by Sara and our ruleset, to the best of our abilities (so its creation is to provide a hub of activity, as opposed to furthering our IC lore). We therefore want a strong focus on the creation of events, locations, and quests for players, interact a lot with other nations, and run our nation effectively OOCly. While I might not be playing the role of this nation's "leader," I at least intend to move my character Garo from Isra to this new location, to help further populate it. Please comment below! |

Eloria Tyrins
Dedicated
Roleplay posts: 130 
Age: Uhh.. lost count?
Physical Description: Generally referred to as tiny and adorable, Eloria is 4'10" tall and petite. Although she appears to be barely into her teens, her purple-pink eyes have a wisdom and age about them surprising for one seemingly so young. Her hair, which falls to her knees when it's not bound up into its usual ponytail, is a pale shade of purplish-pink. Her skin is lightly-tanned due to lots of time outdoors, and she has no visible scars, or any defining physical characteristics, aside from her finely-formed, adorable facial features. This is excluding the line of intricate magical tattoos down her back, which are forged directly into her spirit, allowing her constant access to the summon spirits she's made pacts with - all ten of them.
------------------------------------
Clothes and Equipment: Typically, Eloria wears a very.. definitive outfit. On her lower half, she wears a pair of voluminous bright pink pants, tucked into white-and-purple ankle-high boots. On her tap half, she wears a purple, midriff-baring strapless top, on top of which is a white short-sleeved vest with long tails and purple edging. Accessory-wise, she wears a purple belt over her vest, a green bright green scarf knotted around her neck, two long gloves of pale purple, a single purple sphere dangling from her left ear, and two thick bracelets - a golden one around her right wrist, and a turquoise one around her left. The bracelets and earring aren't just for show; they're inlaid with strong enchantments. Additionally, she carries a broom.. that flies, and also is apparently at least semi-sentient, as she speaks to it.

I've been looking for something to do with this character, so count her in. And also possibly @akos.
EDIT: Potentially changed my mind about Akos, since you've got plenty of people interested, though I may still bring him in, possibly, depends on what happens down the road. Eloria is a gifted mage, but she's also a divine emissary, so I see her being sent there by her Goddess to help protect the people. Just in case you were wondering why she'd be there. XD

Royal Fletcher
Widely Known
Roleplay posts: 1,339
Age: 19
Physical Description: Royal is a pale boy with dark bags under his bluish eyes, an unfortunate result of too many days spent staring at books indoors by candlelight. He's thin, of slightly below average height, and has white hair.
Clothes and Equipment: Roy carries around an enchanted parasol at all times, which floats above him and shields him from the sunlight. He also has a sword, a gift from his cousin Roxanne. His pockets are always filled with an unreasonable amount of chocolate, and he usually has some sort of cake or other baked goods on his person.

Ralf Valgard, the White Wolf
Dedicated
Varan Adventurer
Roleplay posts: 299
Age: 25
Physical Description: An athletically-built man weighing 160 lbs and standing 6 feet high. He has fierce blue eyes set into a wolfish face. His dark brown hair is usually pulled back into a braid on the back of his head. Well-groomed facial hair, for which he is proud of, covers the bottom half of his face.
=====
Clothes and Equipment: Ralf's primary possessions include his Hirhanic Shield, Mariah's Dagger, his Ancestral Sword, and his Ki'Gar.
The Hirhanic Shield is able to absorb various forms of energy: physical, magical, or otherwise. He can release this energy in the form of shockwaves on command. This item was a gift from his friend Hirhan.
Mariah's Dagger was looted from Mariah's corpse in Aozora. The dagger is able to absorb magical energy from its victims.
Ralf's ancestral sword is of exquisite make; it is an ancient weapon forged in a forgotten age using a rare material. It has the potential to channel 'the Power of the Old Gods', but Ralf is oblivious to this and the weapon is never used.
Ralf's ki'gar, or 'kin garb', is blue with white borders. A white wolf's head is emblazoned in the center, with the family name "VALGARD" written across the bottom. He usually wears the garment as a scarf or cowl.
Currently Ralf carries a a two-handed battle-axe.
=====
Allegiances: His Family, Himself, His People - in that order

I have an idea for a character. He's a knight, and he's lawfully good, and he wants to help the refugees. I'd ask permission for an army of knights. I would help protect the newly founded state, and engage in politics when necessary.
I had considered sending over Aia Heijra with some new Varan settlers, and then considered bringing in a Knight-brother from the Brotherhood, but I guess if I join a newly founded kingdom I want to start with someone whose not already tied down to other stuff.
EDIT: What if he was a squire from Medan, whose mentor (a Medananian Knight) was killed by the Goraians, so he was forced to flee with the refugees. in Kuaria, he becomes the first squire to be knighted, preferably by Reynald himself.
EDIT2: Another thing, he could still be a squire, and when he meets Reynald, he becomes Reynald's squire?

Alastair
Established
Fleeing Goraia, with refugees in tow!
Roleplay posts: 17
Age: 30
Physical Description: Alastair is a fit man standing 6'0 and weighing 190 lbs. He's lean for his size, but he's a strong fellow and well-conditioned for combat. He has sun-kissed skin from being outdoors so often, dark brown eyes, and short, dark brown hair.
Clothes and Equipment: Alastair wears practical chainmail armor, iron shinguards and iron gauntlets. He also wears heavy-duty traveling boots, gloves, and an iron open-faced helmet.
For his weapon, Alastair carries an iron longsword and a beat-up heater shield.
Needless to say, all of his equipment is in dire need of being replaced.

This would be my knight; he looks a little to old to be a squire, and so I suppose he's already a knight.

Lord Tristian Seryl
Dedicated
Roleplay posts: 210
Age: 37
Physical Description: At 6'1", Tristian is tall and broad-shouldered, with a lean but muscled form. His features are chiseled and aristocratic, set with dark brown eyes and framed by shoulder-length brown hair; he does occasionally grow a beard and mustache, but most frequently, he is seen to be clean-shaven. Very little about him stands out, aside from his handsome features - he has a few scars gained during the flight from Medan, but few of them are visible to the casual observer, being hidden by his everyday attire.
------------------------------
Clothes and Equipment: As a nobleman, Tristian typically wears well-made tunics, breeches, and boots in a variety of colors, but as a practical man, he abhors silk - most of his clothes are simply made of fine, but sturdy, wool, though he does indulge in fur-lined gloves and cloaks in winter. On rare occasions, mostly just important state functions (given he is the head of the Black Tower) he can be seen wearing a full set of blue and gold plate armor, emblazoned with his family crest of the gryphon head. A lot of the time, Tristian carries with him his family's heirloom sword, and he always wears a golden signet ring with the Seryl family crest - he also wears a signet ring with the crest of the Black Tower, which allows him to maintain telepathic contact with his operatives.

Armand, the center of this initiative, kind of left on hiatus for awhile and it left me hanging. I am still all for this, and in playing a pivotal role. I am even willing to play the king myself at this point. But here's the problem: I'm not good at storytelling. I'm not good at fostering a dynamic that makes people want to roleplay. I don't feel I would do very good quests.
However, I think I would make a great executive decision maker, politician, and playing the actual administrative role of the king.
If I can get some help with all that, then I can try to see if I can get Reynald back on board or take the reins myself.
