Journey to the North (OOC)

[TheIrishOtaku]

The world of Castria has been at peace for eons, the kingdom of Trinia being no exception. Recent events have shown just how fragile that peace is, as Zolon Adair, the royal wizard and one of the most powerful spellcasters on the planet, has stolen the first part of the Book of Rosha from the royal vault! Bitter at perceived slights and filled with hateful ambition, he seeks to gather the other five parts in order to open a portal to Kolasi, the infernal realm where the eponymous demon queen and her followers were imprisoned by the gods so long ago. If he succeeds, the world will enter an age of bloodshed and darkness the likes of which it has never seen. Seeking to stop this nightmare from coming to pass, King Maxim Seler IV, the ruler of Trinia, has summoned a group of adventurers to the palace. It is hope that they can stop Zolon before it is too late. If they succeed, whatever they desire they shall have. Fail and payment will be the least of their worries. Will they prevail and prove that good is as eternal as the sun? Or will they show that, in the end, darkness shall always throw back the light?

This rp will be completely narrative based as that seems to work the best on here. I'm looking for 3-5 players to join. Feel free to create whatever fantasy character you want, the only limitations are that it must be good or at least morally gray and it must fit the setting. If you join, all I ask is that you post at least once every other day. Below, I will include a simple template for a character sheet. Thank you for reading and I look forward to hearing from you!

[OmegaUmbra]

Name: Odrosa Adair

Species: Dark Elf

Sex: Female

Role: Spellcaster

Appearance: (credit: Art of Cithis from Dungeon Meshi by chikoinochi)

Personality: Shy, empathetic, calm, cool-headed, doting, formal, polite

[While Odrosa seems very stiff with her decorum upon first meeting, that is simply due to the fact she's terribly shy and sheltered around new people. Do not let her intense golden gaze fool you, this is her first time really out on the field. Or socializing, for that matter. Despite her social awkwardness, she's fiercly protective over all her allies and worries about their wellbeing akin to how a first time mother would due to her inherent empathy. Don't be shocked if she wipes food off of your face with a handkerchief and asks you if you've eaten enough today, she's a bit of a motherly worry wart.]

Abilities: Odrosa specializes in offensive and defensive magic arts. Wards, destruction spells, curses. Spells with some bite. She isn't very gifted at healing nor support, unfortunately, more so making sure her enemies befall the greatest harm. Even with the safety of wards, unlike most mages she's also good at dodging to a degree. Moving away from attacks with swift, practiced grace.

Background: Odrosa was born from the lowest rung one could be in the kingdom of Trinia. The Dark Elves. Known for their treachery and being career criminals more often than not, many view them as parasites regardless of a recent peace treaty signaling the supposed end of being at eachother's throats. Not all of them are equal in the regard of morals, yet Odrosa's parents were no exception. Abandoning her at the young age of 4, left to wander and starve. Until she was found by the wizard Zolon Adair. Taking pity on the child and taking her in, despite protests from king Maxim himself.

He raised her as his own, with empathy and love as an adoptive daughter. Taught her almost everything she knew about magic, too. Raising her in the royal court as a respectful, and gentle person, no matter the odd gaze's and scowls his peers would throw their way.

So how exactly had it gone so wrong...?

At the age of 24 is when Zolon told her of his...ambition.

She was horrified.

Her father, her teacher, detailing the extent of his madness to her with fanatical glee, begging Odrosa to join him. Promising immeasurable power and a more accepting world.

A world filled with the most vile of demons and delights.

Perhaps he had raised her too well.

She had denied his horrid invitation, the both of them leaving with feelings of the deepest betrayal. Odrosa running off to relay his insane plan to the king.

While at first they weren't sure what to think of her words, after proper confirmation she had earned their trust. Going on her own volition to stop her former teacher...her once father, from ending the world as they knew it.
