The Flying City, Fantasy RP ((OPEN!!))
Plot
http://fc05.deviantart.com/fs15/f/20...i_is_conan.jpg As war and famine ravaged the land below, Silverwing City soared above it all, held up by the power of a very large and very valuable magical crystal. It was known as the paradise to those who were unfortunate to live below. As Silverwing float, peacefully out of reach, the land below became barren and dangerous. Finally, the ruler of Silverwing, took pity on the ground dwellers and opened Silverwing’s gates. Merchants were sent out with the task of giving out eggs. These eggs held dragons, giant eagles, griffins, or any other creature with wings large enough to carry a human being. But these merchants were corrupt and charged a high price for their eggs, but there was one merchant who traveled the ground, looking for the Chosen owner for the each egg. This man’s name is Brode and he just arrived at your war torn village. Somehow, he was able to corner you where no one else could see you. He looks deep into your eyes with his icy blue ones, paralyzing you from turning away, its like he’s looking into your soul. Suddenly, he smiles and thrusts something large, smooth, and round into your hands, and walks away. You’re egg will hatch in immediately, and the creature inside will mature in one week. Now the choice is yours: Will you go to Silverwing, or does your destiny lie else where? Silverwing City is a large place with many layers. The Inner City is where the nobles live, enjoying their riches. The marketplace is outside the Inner City. It is where crafts are sold and where people shop. Here, theives roam the streets looking for an easy purse. People also come here to socialize and shop. Outside the marketplace is the Outer City. Here are the craftsmen's shops, here the smell of the tanner and the bang of the blacksmith fill the air. Silverwing city is a place run by society. Silverwing is now on the brink of war, but who is attacking and who is defending? How will this fighting affect the people within the city walls? And how will a group of individuals, whos only thing in common is a visit from a strange man named Brode, come together and ultimately save Silverwing City from destruction? Game Guide 1. You and your mount have an ever lasting bond. 2. A mount can not speak, but they can understand you just fine, and you can hear their thoughts in your head. 3. Silverwing City is self-sustaining, meaning that it has farms and plant life and such that it is able to feed its population. Its more of a large floating island than a city. 4. If you choose to have gotten your mount from Brode, you are a Chosen One, a person destined to save Silverwing...you just don't know it yet. |

Characters
Username: Trisscar_cj Name: Talina Cornerstone Gender: Female Age: 27 Race: Half-Breed. Half human, half…something else. Abilities/Skills: She is the best smith in all of Silverwing. She knows how to fight too, using her tools and powers. Powers (If any): Metal and Fire magic Occupation: Blacksmith mainly, but also gold/silversmith Where are you from?: Silverwing Personality: She can be gruff and hardened, but there is a soft side to her, you just have to find it. Appearance: http://fc01.deviantart.com/fs19/i/20...by_thali_n.jpg Bio: Talina’s human mother never spoke of her father. The only thing Talina knew was that he wasn’t human. Tal was always told that she had his eyes, bright sparkling Icy blue eyes that seemed to capture the attention of who ever she wished. When Tal was 12, she became an apprentice to a master blacksmith, and she learned everything he knew. When she opened up her own shop three years ago, she quickly grew in reputation for the best smith in the city. Mount Name: Sepia Mount Gender: Female Mount Species: Half-breed. Have dragon, have wolf and is able to transform between the two. Mount Appearance: Wolf Form http://tn3-1.deviantart.com/fs22/300..._KayFedewa.jpg Dragon Form http://tn3-1.deviantart.com/fs6/300W...by_hibikio.jpg Other: Most dragons breath fire, Sepia does not do so, but she has very powerful lungs and is able to change the temperature of her breath from extremely hot to freezing. Talina also owns her own forge and can often times be found there. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Username: Cows Go Moo Name: Zed Gender: Male Age: 20 Race: Human Abilities/Skills: He has excelled in terms of speed and accuracy. He uses these two skills constantly with throwing knives Powers: Photographic Memory Occupation: Delivery Man Where are you from?: Below Personality: Zed is usually calm and collected, and almost apathetic to the problems of others when they try to ask for advice. This isn't to say that he only caring of himself, but that he feels that he shouldn't be giving out his help to anyone he isn't emotionally attached to. He isn't a social person, being mostly introverted and preferring to sit back and observe everything around him;however, when he is forced out of his quietness he can be more relaxed and friendly. When he gets angry he can be sarcastic or even just plain insult you. Contradicting his usual calm self is the fact that he won't back out of a challenge being competitive and hating to lose. Appearance: http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c2...oywithhawk.jpg Bio: Zed wouldn't describe his life as that interesting as he just grew up in a normal family of humans with his two parents and and older brother. What saved his life from being a complete bore was that he always competed with his brother, over everything. From weapons to who could to a handstand the longest they both would compete. One day his brother had announced that he was going to get an egg from the local merchant. Not to be outdone, Zed had grabbed his savings and went to the center of town. Unfortunately, his brother was already there so he turned back, but was pushed into an alleyway where a different merchant eyed him and handed him an egg. Needless to say he was happy, running home soon after. He had beat his brother! His brother was mad as he didn't have enough money for an egg, but was able to get over it. When his parents asked where he got the money for the egg Zed lied, thinking that they wouldn't believe his story. He said he was taking jobs as a delivery boy and had to apply for that job soon after. Mount Name: Silverwind Mount Gender: Female Mount Species: Half Phoenix, Half-Hawk Mount Appearance: Note: Silverwind can transform into a smaller hawk form as seen in Zed's picture. http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x.../Phoenix-2.jpg Other: He uses daggers and throwing knives as his primary weapons, but always carries a spare dagger for close combat. Also, Silverwind is named after the searing hot winds that can come from her flapping wings. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Username: Elektra_x3 Name: Serenity Gender: Female Age: 18 Race: Human Abilities/Skills: Her aim when shooting an arrow is very precise. Powers (If any): She can control the air to make her arrows go farther, and she can even make herself jump higher and stay longer in the air. But she cannot fly. Occupation: Where are you from?: Below Personality: She is very calm and quiet. She likes to observe the things around her. But she isn't so quiet that she's shy. She's just not that loud. Appearance: ((Without the elf ears.)) http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/c...y_Elf_girl.jpg Bio: Serenity grew up an only child with her kind and caring mother. Her mother taught Serenity how to use a bow and arrow, to catch food or just in case she needed to defend herself from who knows what. She loved her mother and wanted both of them to move out and go to Silverwing City. So one day she went out to look for a job to raise money to get an egg. But instead, an egg found her. She was very confused about it at first, but once she saw the griffin hatch, she was elated. Her, her mother, and her griffin now live in Silverwing City. Mount Name: Sage Mount Gender: Male Mount Species: Griffin Mount Appearance: http://www.maps4heroes.com/heroes5/p...en_Griffin.jpg ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Username: Lurker-chan Name: Kyaka Damien Tallia Gender: Male Age: Erm... A few thousand years old... hahaha.... Race: Kyaka is a Falda. I will explain exactly what this is in the powers. Abilities/Skills: Kyaka is much like a walking textbook. He knows pretty much all the history of the world, mainly because of what he is. Powers (If any):Kyaka shifts form between five forms. Three of them are human and two are not even close. Each one has its own use. The human forms are differentiated by age. The youngest is used for hiding. In this form he can go completely unnoticed. He can be standing in a field of snow, surrounded by people in a giant black cat costume, dancing wildly and screaming at the top of his lungs, and no one will be remember a single thing about him except that some one was there, unless of course he wants them to. The human form he is most found in, his teenage one, is one he uses when he's eating. He can eat regular food, but for it to be at all useful he has to eat it in huge portions and it has to be raw and fresh. And meat. He's a carnivore completely and fully, and adores meat, warm and dripping with blood. But that isn't what really fills him. What really fills him is emotion. That is why he has his teenage form, so that people will talk with him and display their emotions and then he can feed off that. His eldest form, the forty year old image, is used for learning. When in this form everything makes sense and he absorbs information like a sponge. He is seen in this form when he feels he needs to learn something. Of his two less human forms, one has absolutely no human features In this form he has silky purple fur, and his body is molded like that of a large wolf. Only his stomach and torso are extremely emaciated looking, the strange sharp ribs clearly visible despite his thick fur. It is not for lack of food that he is this thin, but a body type, and it is quite healthy. If he isn't healthy it is shown in the shine of his coat, because it will become limp and greasy if he isn't eating right. His paws are completely bare of all flesh and fur, simply bone. He has ears similar to that of a goat. He has a long tail that loses its fur for the last five joints and ends in a deadly point. He has one wing that is small at first glance, but unfurls to a huge length, but only the one wing. The other is only a nub. Thus he can't fly. He has a pair of horns and his eyes are a bright crimson. He has extremely thick hide in this form, normal blades with average force put behind them can't even hope to pierce it. It also has a line of spines surrounded in black fur down the backbone, each one sharp and dangerous. This form is used for hunting as its senses and tracking capabilities are much higher than that of any other. It is also good for healing. His next form is more like a cross between the two, and is used for combat. Still with the long silky purple hair, but the hands are more like human's, only the first two knuckles bare of flesh. The spines are more hidden and extendable, like the horns. His ears are the same as his hunting form, and he has the black hair of his human form. He has the legs and tail of his hunting form. His single wing is the same size, and looks it, but most of the membrane and flesh is decayed and gone, leaving the bone bare, with sharp deadly ends. Weapons: He uses a pair of daggers when he's in his human form, and nothing but his body in his other forms. Occupation: You could call him a story teller... a teacher perhaps. Where are you from?: Kyaka is a resident of the below world, but he has visited the Silverwing territory a few times... don't ask him how. He has ways... Personality: He's an easy guy to get along with, always willing to sit down and have a drink to chat with you. He's very good at treating those he likes to a good time, and will always show them the bright side of things even if he himself can't quite see it... so long as they respect his limits. For instance, if some one should make contact with his direct flesh before he himself initiated it, he is very likely to stand up and leave. He's willing to listen to you, but he requires that you repay the favor some time and listen to some one else in the near future. Through this method he encourages new friendships to be formed. He is very wise, and is always a good person to listen to. If he says something, or gives you a piece of advice, no matter how strange it may seem, it's often a good thing to take into mind. He's the kind of person that chooses his words with care and yet seems to be speaking without thought. He's graceful, fluid, and powerful. Appearance: Most commonly, this is how he is seen. Bio: Kyaka is the last of his kind. Falda's are a race of beings that have been around since the dawn of time, the care takers of history, and as time passed and their extremely long lives (the longest lived of which was twenty million years), they developed a sort of bond amongst one another. They were always social beings and loved to be together, gathering in huge clans. But their hides were to thick and strong, they were better than any armor, and their fur so silky smooth that it made an exceptional cloth when woven, so his friends and family were hunted down and killed. Now the Falda's bond was such that when one died, their knowledge was spread to the others, so that none of the history of the world was ever lost... and since he is that last, he is burdened with all the knowledge. Mount Name: Avis Mount Gender: Male Mount Species: A dark dragon. Mount Appearance: Under normal circumstances, with a normal partner, Avis would have been a dragon with only one form... but when your partner is a timeless being with the knowledge of all the world's history, then things change. So Avis shifts between his original and more natural form (only black), which he takes when Kyaka is in his teenage form. A small cute form, which he holds when Kyaka is in his child's form. It's the only form that's not black. A large, wise, magestic form when he is in his eldest human form. Then there's the standard form for when Kyaka is in his base state, as well as fighting form for when it's necessary, such as when Kyaka is in his combat form. Of course Avis can independantly take all these forms, but he basically takes these forms when Kyaka is in the corresponding form. He was gifted by Brone. Other: What can I say? Kyaka is Kyaka. |

PLOT POINTS!!
Talina meets Zed Tal offers Zed a position in her forge when she gets a large order for a multitude of weapons Talina suspects war of some kind. |
Reserved
|
OPEN!
|
Talina hammered away at a red hot piece of metal, turning it between each beat. Sweat dripped from her forehead, sizzling as it hit the hot metal. With one last, deliberate strike, she straightened with a sigh. Tal strode over to a bucket of water and plunged the worked metal in, filling the room with a loud hiss and a cloud of steam. Pulling the metal out, she looked at her work, examining it for flaws. Smiling, she walked to the table, laying her piece down lovingly.
|
Zed yawned, looking at the sky. He found the day pretty boring, having no deliveries. All he could do at the moment was stare aimlessly at the sky. He brushed a lock of hair out his eyes as the wind blew, wishing he had a hat. Of course it went as quickly as it came, leaving it still sunny. He looked over to the left, seeing a girl rush back into the room with an empty satchel. She breathed heavily, trying to get some of her energy back. He made no notice though until she had handed him a letter. He nodded to her, opening it and reading the contents before crumpling up the paper and throwing it into a trash pail. It was a challenge letter from his brother.
|
Talina picked up each piece and wrapped it in oiled clothes, protecting them from scratches. Taking all the wrapped pieces, she bundled them together in a large canvas package, wrapping string around to succure it. As she finished, she paused at the sound of a low growl. Visiter she heard in her mind as she turned around just as a messnger boy came into view. When he approached, he handed her a letter and bowed, leaving immediately. Grumpily she opened the letter and read it quickly. "Humpf" she said as the letter in her hand slowly began to char as it took flame, "He wants to show me off again." she said as she picked up the bundle, "Might as well deliver his armor at the same time. Come on Sepia, no matter how much I hate it, we've got socializing to do." she said beckoning her wolf friend to join her as the two left the forge.
|
Zed sighed, standing up and walking out the door. "Answering the challenge?" He turned to the girl, smirking. "Why else would I leave my job?" He closed the door and walked down the path, remembering the address. It was going to be basically be a game of archery which neither him nor his brother had played before, or so he hoped. He could aim well, but usually he only used one hand to throw knives, or rock,s or other harmful projectiles. He saw Silverwind fly behind him, landing lightly on his forearm and chirping with affection. "I didn't think you'd find me so fast." He chuckled. "I guess then you'll be another witness to my brother's defeat."
|
((Question? Where are you? Are you in Silverwing City? Or below?))
|
((At the moment he's in Silverwing. I forgot to put that they moved to Silverwing in the bio >_<))
|
Talina strode through the city. Her forge was on the outskirt of the city, where she could bother the least amount of people with her noise. This suited her fine, since she didn't really like people in the first place. It was going to be a long walk from her forge to the inner city where the lord who had commisioned this armor lived. To make things worse, it had rained the night before, making the cobblestone streets slick. Tal and Sepia picked their way through the busy streets, keeping thier eyes out for pick pockets and such. A scream from above attracted Tal's attention as a gaint eagle, with it's owner on its back, flew overhead, heading toward the inner city. "People just don't walk anymore." she grumbled as she pushed past a large crowd gathering to watch a street performer.
((Alright, thanks!)) |
Zed looked around, trying not get pick pocketed. You would never know in a city. He heard Silverwind screech, making him wince. "Wow, next to my left ear too." He looked upward at an eagle flying overhead. More work for the animal. He felt tempted to fly on his own bird, but a giant red bird in the sky would attract a lot of attention. Not that he cared of course. He passed a few more people, arriving at the field for the challenge with his brother.
((No problem. And for the eagle flying over did you mean me or no?)) |
((Nope, and I think its about time that we interacted.))
Talina broke from the crowd, turning slightly to check that Sepia was with her, "Anything get stolen?" she asked the wolf. Nope, one person came close when you were looking at that eagle though. Sepia mentioned, making Talina swear for her carelessness. Deciding that it wouldn't do any good to beat herself up, she turned down and alley. "Come on, there's a fountain where we can cool off and maybe wash up in before we go the his Lord's home. Goodness knows that he won't be pleased to see me in this dirty state." she said looking down at her soot streaked skin. Coming up to the fountain, Tal put down the bundle and took a long drink. She pulled a cloth from her cloak and, wetting it, bagan to wipe off the soot from her arms and face. As she did so, she noticed that there seemed to be a small archery competition being set up in the nearby clearing. Tal always enjoyed archery and her curiousity got the better of her as she walked over to watch. Together, Talina and Sepia lounged under the shade of a tree, watching to see what would take place. |
((Ah, I see))
Zed released his hawk, seeing it fly off and circle around the area before landing on a tree branch. He went up to where the equipment was being laid out, grabbing a fairly light bow and a quiver of arrows. "You know, now the score's sixty-eight to sixty-nine, if I win we tie again." His brother shrugged, putting on a finger tab. "A tie means nothing." Zed narrowed his eyes at his brother before turning his back to him and then going back to the starting point. The rules were simple: the rings were valued in points and you had twenty arrows to get the most points. At end of the competition whoever had the most points wins. Don't worry, you got this even if your win puts you back at breaking even. "How reassuring Windy." He said sarcastically as he saw the set being finished up. "Looks like it's time to start." He looked around, feeling a breeze come by and then saw a girl and her wolf observing. Well now it's both personal and social. |
They're brothers, can't you tell? said Sepia as she observed the pair. Tal nodded in agreement, "They must be, they look very much alike. But look at their faces. The bigger one looks very tense, nervous even, but the smaller one, the one with the hawk, looks pretty calm. Archery is not only about being good, its about being level headed. I wonder how this will end up." she said softly, watching the boy with the hawk. They will start soon. The boy just sent the hawk away. commented Sepia as Tal grinned.
|
The competition started as Zed released the arrows one by one, taking careful aim with each shot. His brother did the same, albeit more anxious. They both took one shot after another. Zed increased his pace, shooting the arrows more frequently. This lowered his accuracy somewhat, but he knew that he still had the better aim of the two. Last arrow Zed, you better hit a bullseye. "Yeah I realize that Windy." He muttered thus under his breath in an effort not to seem crazy, but seemed that he was heard. "Talking to yourself? You know that's a sign of losing it." His brother grinned, tauntingly. Zed rolled his eyes at his brother. Fate wouldn't do something so logically impossible. He pulled back the string of the bow and the arrow, aligning it with the target as he let go. The arrow whizzed by, hitting the first ring of outside the bullseye. "Damn."
|
Tal watched each of the men carefully, adding commentary. "Ah, the big one's cocky, but he's confident. Its working for him." she said, remaining neutral as to which side she would have like to win. The small one's losing it, he shouldn't have sped up, he being pressured by the bigger one. Sepia said with a huff. Talina watched as the smaller one fitted his last arrow, watching the body language of the two, she frowned at what she saw. "The bigger one taunted, I hate taunters. In a sword fight, its fine, but archery? No." she said, instantly chooseing a favorite. "Well I hope the smaller one gets this shot," she said as he released the arrow, missing the middle of the target by a ring. Too bad, he let his brother's taunting get to him. said Sepia as Tal sat there seething.
|
Zed sighed as he counted up the arrows. The maximum score you could get was two thousand points with all arrows in the bullseye and the minimum would be a very low three hundred. He looked at his brother who had this arrogant confidence and then concentrated back on counting his own arrows. Two arrows on the fifteen point ring or most outer ring, five on the twenty-five or next ring, eight on the fifty point or second to bullseye ring, and finally five on the bullseye. In total it was one thousand fifty-five points. He watched his hawk fly above, part of him wishing for a bit of luck. His brother walked up to him with a grin, announcing his number of points. "One thousand twenty." Zed remained silent for a moment before sighing in relief. "One thousand fifty-five, read it and weep!"
His brother twitched, mad by this result. He had been careless in the beginning with the quick shots, yet he was sure that the taunting would bring down the score. He sighed. Looks like he would have to swallow his pride. He shook Zed's hand, giving a grin. "Looks like you beat me bro, but a tie doesn't mean anything." Zed cursed, inwardly as he let go of his brother's hand. Of course, he still needed another win. |
Tal grinned as she realised the result. "Ha, so he did win." she said, watching the two shake hands, "But by the look on his face, it appears that his brother is still giving him grief, lets go fix that shall we?" She said as she reached in her pocket and pulled out a small lump of gold. What are you doing now? droned Sepia as she knew nothing would stop her stubborn friend. "You'll see" replied Tal as she pushed the gold with her fingers, reshaping it with ease. Nodding at her work, she looked it over quickly. It now resembled an archery target with an arrow shot into it. With a grin, she placed the arrow in the exacty spot that the boy's last arrow had been. Chuckling to herself, she got up and strode to the two competiters. "A moment you two." she called. "I was watching your little competition and I was greatly entertained. So much so, that I would like to present this prize to the winner." she said, holding out the golden model to the smaller one.
|
Zed smiled at the girl. "Thank you very much." He took the prize slowly relishing the look on his brother's face. For once it felt great to tie up. "Well I guess that you actually got something for you win this time. I'm going to break that tie next time though." He said this in a slightly restrained voice as he walked back to where the set up was and started taking down the targets. Zed admired the golden model in his hands. "Thanks a lot..." He realized that he didn't know her name. Well, it didn't matter that much. He looked up as Silverwind flew back down and landed on his shoulder. "I guess Windy thank you too."
|
Tal grinned, "The name's Talina Cornerstone, this here is Sepia" she said motioning to the wolf beside her. "You're not a bad archer, better than your brother anyway. I take it you and he have been competeing for a long time. You should know by now that you shouldn't let his taunting get to you." she said, examining him with her icy blue eyes. "That is a lovely bird you got there. Windy you said her name was?" she asked.
((Gotta go mow the lawn...be back later)) |
Zed nodded as he walked over and put his bow and quiver into the box. "Nice to meet you two." He turned, seeing the wolf and Talina. He saw the targets already put into there and neatly detached. He closed the box, handing it to his brother. He stood back up and turned to face Tal. "Thanks. I've probably got the better aim of the two of us. I try not to let the taunting get to me, but I'm the kind of guy who's both competitive and hates to lose. Silverwind chirped a bit sharply. "Silverwind more formally, but yes."
