Final TriggerBound Dragon Star of Mana

[OfficerSting]

I love 16-bit console RPG's. I love the quirky characters, I love the epic plots, I even love the goofiness and general oddities of some of them. Overall, they are my favorite kind of game.

However, it has come to my attention that RPG's today just like a certain level of appeal that RPG's of the 16-bit era had. I still like modern RPG's, but that quirkiness I find so fascinating in 16-bit RPG's seems to be dead. Maybe it's just me, but I'd like to give a hats off to the olden golden RPG's of yore.

This is Final TriggerBound Dragon Star of Mana, an RPG that results when you take all the great RPG's of the SNES and Sega Genesis and throw them in a blender. There is no set storyline; rather, we will all work together in creating a coherent plot. Instead, there are a few guidelines to keep in mind when making a character and playing the game:

#1. There is no set theme or genre. Want to have a highly advanced domed city right next to a medieval kingdom? Go for it. Starships AND magical airships? Sure. Zombie cowboys with telekinesis traveling through time? Have at it. Just have fun and make it as awesome as you'd like.

#2. The world will be built from the ground up, meaning that longer posts are somewhat necessary. Occasionally make some references to the world or universe at large. Be in-depth in everything you do.

#3. The character format is like such:

Name: Your character's name.
Sex: Your character's gender.
Age: Your character's age.
Species: Human? Elf? Sentient Wolf? Wendigo? Whatever you like.
Skills and Powers: Pyrokinesis? Teleportation? Improbable aiming skills?
Appearance: What your character looks like.
Personality: What your character acts like.
Bio: A short (or lengthy) history of your character.
Other: Anything else worth mentioning.

Let the nostalgia begin!

I think we have enough people. Sting, are you gonna post your characters soon?

[OfficerSting]

Excellent. I approve all characters.

Now, for the big bad, the main villain that must be conquered to finish the story. I will be keeping some stuff on this guy secret, so as not to ruin his mystery.

Name: Ilmig Airom (may or may not be a pseudonym)

Sex: Unknown. Most likely male, given the name provided.

Age: Unknown.

Species: Unknown. The name that Airom goes by suggests a dwarven descent, but this is but a theory.

Skills and Powers: See bio.

Appearance: Given that Airom is a shapeshifter, all the descriptions of the witnesses of Airom's crimes are different.

Personality: Nobody quite knows for sure. Airom only begain his crime spree four years ago, yet nobody has a clue what he's like. Given the notes that he leaves on the bodies of his victims taunting the police, he is either very arrogant or legitimately insane.

Bio (warning; long one):
Of all the criminals in the land today, none are more prolific than Ilmig Airom. It began four years ago when a dwarven diplomat from the city of Uvelnur was headed towards Nacitav City.

He never reached his destination.

When investigators went searching for him, they found his ambushed escort party in plain view along the route to Nacitav City.

There were no survivors.

The dead bodies killed so that they were easily identifiable. Given that nothing valuable was taken and that the bodies were left out in the open, it was not a robbery.

Investigators found a note, written in blood, attached to the forehead of the diplomat, Urist Angerbrew:

"I AM ILMIG AIROM. I WORK ALONE. MR. ANGERBREW'S DEATH WAS JUST AND NECESSARY. DO NOT MEDDLE, LEST YOU FIND YOURSELF IN HIS SITUATION. HAVE A BEAUTEOUS DAY."

Uvelnur's mayor had a team of their top investigators investigate the situation further.

Within three days, the entire a team was dead, and so was the mayor of Uvelnur. Attatched to his forehead was a note:

"YOU DON'T LISTEN WELL, DO YOU? THIS IS ILMIG AIROM, BY THE WAY."

The new mayor, fearing for his safety, had the case dropped.

The mayor of Nacitav City decided that if Uvelnur wasn't going to do anything, he would.

He wound up dead, too. Attached to his forehead was a note.

"ILMIG AIROM AGAIN. YOU GUYS NEED TO LEARN TO LISTEN. I MEAN SERIOUS BUSINESS."

The case has since gone cold.

Airom continued his murderous rampage. His victims always were people who either tried to uncover his identity, or people in positions of power.

The most amazing thing about Airom is his apparent powers. He has killed generals in fortresses of the highest security level. He has killed people thousands of miles apart in a matter of hours.

It is possible that Airom is a shapeshifter, given the wildly varying witness accounts of his appearance.

His exact powers are unknown, but it's safe to say that he is a force to be reckoned with.

This looks fun/easy-going. Let it be known, I have no internet over the weekend.

Name: Zix Thugtullbaag
Sex: Male
Age: 18 (likes to pretend he is more mature)
Species: Nightmare (A particular race who have hidden in the shadows and are known for causing the nightmares in their victims because they feed off the mare. They appear human while walking the world, but can become wrath like-beings to easily manipulate your mind and dreams. No cures have been found, but its rumored that throwing salt over your shoulder keeps them at bay. They aren't well known, thus why they can slip into houses/dreams undetected.)
Skills and Powers: Telekinesis, Telepathy and Shadow-bending. Terrible with a bow.
Appearance: Short for his race, he stands at 5'9" and weighs less than most of his kind. Dressed in dark colors, black pants, dark brown leather boots, a black shirt and a black cloak with silver stitching on the edges with a silver chain necklace. He is also odd in that he had golden eyes, and a shock of red through his otherwise black hair.
Personality: Clumsy in his own way, pretends to be proud but ends up messing up a lot, tries to convince others he is tough. All together a bit of a bumbler.
Bio: After being raised in the Nightmare society, he taught all their ways, but when they realized he wasn't like them, with his odd golden eyes and red streak in his hair, they banished him and told him to capture 10,000 nightmares before returning, which is an impossible task and exactly why they did it. Zix, now all alone on his travels seeks out the nightmares of others, but can't seem to inflict them on people.
Other: He's an outcast of his race, carries daggers in his boots, and a knife on his back.

[Diamond Dragon]

Ooooh, a possible fellow shapeshifter. This could get REALLY interesting....

[Nami]

Yeah! In a way :3 I'm excited :3

[Diamond Dragon]

*dance* I can't wait!

Main RPG thread: http://www.christiananime.net/showthread.php?p=1473804#post1473804

[OfficerSting]

New character!

Name: Kelley Dee

Sex: Male

Age: 169, though his elven heritage make him appear to be in his late twenties.

Species: Half-Elf

Skills and Powers: Savant-level intellect, a wide variety of knowledge in many fields, expert skill in magic and alchemy.

Appearance: Very tall, thin, and pale. Blue eyes, blond hair. Wears strange and sometimes gaudy clothes.

Personality: Extremely strange, with a hint of childlike sense of curiosity to him, despite his age. Also a tad mysterious, vague, and secretive.

Bio (warning; long one): Kelley Dee was born in Nacitav City and was from birth trained to be a priest, like his father, Jerome Dee, Archbishop of Nacitav City. Kelley was deeply pious, but he found that his grasp of clerical magic, though above average, was lacking; however, Kelley's grasp of arcane magic was masterful, even at a young age. He eventually left Nacitav City, leaving all his family prestige and money behind to seek a new life in the magocracy of Ermesh in the cold, cold North.

Due to Kelley's brilliance, he was able to secure a position at the prestigious University of Ermesh in the Magical Studies Department. Not long after, Kelley was president of the university.

Word of Kelley's many talents spread, making him one of the land's most renowned academics. Kelley's labors paid off: he was soon chosen to be on the council of mages, later becoming head of that council, and eventually Archmage of Ermesh.

Kelley spend over a century as Archmage, making him the longest serving Archmage in history. In that time, he made many landmark discoveries in arcane studies and alchemy.

Kelley eventually married his childhood friend from Nacitav City, who had since replaced Jerome Dee as head of Nacitav City's church. Despite the fact that they spent extended periods of time apart due to their positions, they were very much in love, and had many children.

One day, Kelley left his children and wife in Nacitav City to attend a conference in Gothere.

While he was gone, they were murdered by Ilmig Airom. Attached to to the head of Kelley's wife, Maria Dee, was a note written in blood:

"HEARTS ARE SO MUCH SWEETER WHEN THEY BREAK. WITH LOVE, ILMIG AIROM."

Already having experiencing the death of Nacitav City's mayor, the new mayor refrained from going after Airom. Kelley, wanting to bring Airom to justice, made a motion that Ermesh seek Airom.

For the first time in Kelley's career as Archmage, he was overruled by the council.

After multiple failed attempts to muster Ermesh's forces, Kelley gave up, surrendering his position as Archmage. He now wanders to land, seeking Airom.

Hi OfficerSting,

I was reading what you wrote about the old RPG days, and it really caught my attention. I immediately began thinking of a character, is there anyway a TechnoKnight could fit into this roleplay at anytime?
