◄Time►
"With moments of life left, I could almost not bring myself to do it. The deeds I had done will all be worthless and the only thing benefited from them would be my own gain. But can it be called selfish if it is to benefit a better future? I could either have people die happy, or leave them in mystery and live to see another day. My heart sank as I played the melody, and left the happiness in the future just to re-live the same days over and over again. I can not even say that time is precious. I just have to learn from my mistakes and hope for a better tomorrow. And tomorrow. And tomorrow. And tomorrow...repeat."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is a legend that echoes through the seas and mountains…through countries and wastelands…of five special people who saved the great country known as Melvina. Fighting against forces greater than them, against armies and kings, against demons and beasts, they saved their land from peril whenever they were called upon. They all had personality traits in common, such as courage and wisdom, but one common characteristic they had that most people identified them with is that they had all come from a certain section of royalty.
…Except one boy. Hailing from a village that is now lost in the vast kingdom due to being invaded by monsters, his mother escaped and made her way to Melvina’s Castle Town in hope for a better life for her son. She left him with no more than a basket cradle and his family shield. After that fateful night, neither of his parents was ever heard from again.
After many years, the boy finally grew up…and became a hero. Fighting alongside four royal heroes, he showed his worth with excellent sword-fighting and horse-back riding skills, and having the blood of an ancient hero in his veins. After fighting to save his country numerous times, the boy decided that it was time to leave the land that made him a legend. Before he left, his four friends gathered around to say their goodbyes and gave him an odd present; a piccolo that was supposedly handed down through Melvina's royalty. The said the instrument had special powers that would be awakened if need be. They said to keep it close to him to remind him of them and the boy’s true home. Then, the boy departed on the quest of his own. A quest to find a place unknown to him but close to his heart…
Eventually, the boy had gotten himself lost somewhere in the world. Near his destination he doubted, and Melvina was a thing of the past where he was. Venturing into an odd cliff-side forest, the ground began to shroud in mist. The sounds of a demented child’s laugh mixed with evil began to be heard all around him. Trudging forward, a split-second image filled his eyes and his horse began to lose control. Holding onto his horse’s saddle as it wildly galloped through the mist, he came to the end of the forest to a cliff filled with light. Getting back on the saddle his horse stood up at the cliffs end as the laugh could be heard again. He looked around quickly, but then a final laugh was uttered and an unknown force knocked him off his horse. He fell down swiftly, the sound of the laugh still lingering in his ears…
...He then awoke...in an unknown and troubled land...known as Karana.
__________________________________________________
~The Country of Karana~
~Karana Town (Beacon Town) ~
The main attraction to the country of Karana, a magnificent technologically advanced town set in the center of the country. The town sports many shops, a hotel, a bank, a complicated irrigation system under the town, some natural trails, and talkative towns-folk. However, the main thing to see is the giant beacon set in the middle of the town. On the very top of the beacon is a flat structure with beautiful artwork on the ground, and a very artistic arrow standing tall in the center. Some say the arrow points towards a place where something big is about to happen. This giant beacon gives the town the nickname “Beacon Town” but some people just shorten it to “Beacon”.
~Karana Field~
A giant, green field with trees here and there that connect every place in the country of Karana. You can get to any region in Karana by this field by following the correct path. Some paths, however, lead you to smaller areas such as a ranch and graveyard.
~Marinus Bay~
A tropical place in southern Karana that has a beautiful beach and a clean, blue ocean. Some small islands can be seen and even swam to from the shore, and the sea is very calm. Burly fisherman and laid-back young adults mainly populate this place. The animals are even friendly here; you can openly swim with dolphins and sea-turtles! There is a rumor of a sea beast living in the ocean, and that the beast has some sort of relation to an ancient temple that spans the sea.
~Terituo Mountains~
A mild, dry place located in eastern Karana where hardy people like to settle and make a living. Mountains and canyons surround everything around these parts; hot springs are pretty abundant too. There is a village here where very friendly, powerful and eccentric people live. A fine blacksmith lives here, too. A menacing volcano can be seen anywhere in the region, and as you go closer to it the climate gets hotter. Clouds surround it yearly giving the impression it might go off, but it is sleeping for now and is not planned to erupt for many years.
~Glentic Land~
A colder and higher place located in northern Karana. The elevation is quite high here; thus it can get pretty cold if you go far into this region. There are mostly plains, cliffs, and lakes here, which make it very popular among natives to come and relax. Mountains are also found here; in fact the highest mountain in Karana is located here, and it is sometimes referred to as the “Big Brother” of the volcano is Terituo as it has clouds swirling around it’s snowing top. There is an old story that tells of a secret high above the clouds in the mountains, but only one with a just heart and a truthful eye will make it to the top.
~Felakess Forest~
A mystic, secretive place in western Karana. It’s just what the name implies; it’s a humongous forest. It has some streams running through, and a mass abundance of wild life. There is a secret village in here, but no one besides the people who inhabit it knows how to get there. Some people say if you get lost in here you will never find your way back. There is a great tree in the middle of the forest, and you can even see its top from outside the forest if you are high up enough. It is believed that if the tree stays green through the winter, there will be a plentiful spring ahead. Some people refer to the great tree as the “Protector of the Forest”.

____________________________________________________
~Side Notes~
This takes place in slightly advanced medieval times, and is also going to be very dark at times. If you don’t enjoy things like that, I’d advise you to leave now. Also, this thread is going to be a little different as it has 6 main places to visit (as I listed above) and is going to be time-based. I will put the time of the thread above every post I make. As I said above, Karana Town/Beacon Town is very advanced, but for MEDIEVAL TIMES.
Don’t worry. The actual plot is explained as we begin to RP. I’ll put my character in another post so I don’t confuse anyone.

Magic is allowed! Just nothing to extreme like summoning dragons to come and eat everyone or something. Also, if your very good at magic you wouldn't be the best fighter. Just try to average your guy out, you know what I mean? |

Ooc; Hmm... I know I am kinda pushing it, but are creatures other than humans allowed? |
|
|
It's fine, I'm not one to get angered by people just asking questions.
Hmm...well, I don't want any vampires, werewolfs, ect. No Twilight stuff.
However, things such as orcs, imps, elves, and mystical things like that are fine. Animal/Human hybrids are pushing it, but I would have to see your character first to decide. |

(Replace 'stealth' with 'master archery', and add scouting skills. Balance it out with the fact that she's rather frail, and that her stamina, arrows, and magic are all limited.) |

(What a woman. Haha, accepted! Any for future character sheets spacing everything out is probably a good idea after I looked back on my jumbled mess. I also looked at my items and forgot to put Piccolo in there! But yes, everyone look at Sigurd's beautfiul sheet. Follow it. Love it. Obey it. We will start in a bit, probably when Bloxette's character is ready.) |
