Story and Character Descriptions
A story featuring magic and adventure,
A Prophecy of Kingdoms to Fall looks at the story of two quarreling nations. A conflict between the Kingdoms of Rashmaal and Yuua that all started 15 years ago when the King of Yuua made a pass at the Queen of Rashmaal.
The King of Rashmaal closed his gates to the Kingdom of Yuua so, of course, they returned the favor. Tension ran high and a few years later, the King of Yuua fell ill and passed away. The Queen did not spend long grieving before taking another man, a new King.
The new King showed no sign of trying to fix the relations with Rashmaal, not for many years anyway. Rather, he seemed to make the situation worse by putting the late King's death on the shoulders of the other nation.
The Kingdom of Rashmaal was booming though, their economy was good, the people were happy and the ports were always full. Why? Because the Princess had been born! People would travel far and wide to come see that infant that was said to always be cheerful and smiling, and she was.
It would be shortly after the Princess's birth that the first Prince of Yuua would request his mother to propose a marriage between himself and the infant Princess. Though the Prince was not of age himself, he did not like that he couldn't travel to the sea-side kingdom, a place where he had heard held a beautiful and magnificent capital. The stories conflicted with the poison his step-father spread about the people of Rashmaal.
But, one day, many years later, the child princess disappears overnight. All attention and blame turns to the Knight that was sworn to guard her and his lack of ability to protect her from the despicable talons of the Yuua nation.
This roleplay will feature a series of roles as a further explanation will be provided should this be posted with enough interest. The roles that shall be involved with this roleplay include:
Princess of Rashmaal (played by Duke)
SPOILERX
The young princess is only a child at the start of our tale. She is infatuated with her guardian and the stories that he tells her of his life before coming to the kingdom. She is considered the sunshine of Rashmaal due to her seemingly endless kindness and energy. She is aware of her engagement to the Prince of Yuua, though she does not care for the man. Upon hearing that she was to spend the rest of her life with him, she became upset and went on about how she was going to be the wife of her guardian. She yearns for a wonderful and happy nation and it is her disappearance that stirs a panic across the lands of Rashmaal.
SPOILERX
The man who is considered at fault during the whole ordeal. He started off as a soldier and adventurer in far off lands before claiming a position in the royal court of Rashmaal. He was assigned a job considered one of the most important: protecting the child princess. Though it was not a job that would normally suit his fancy, it paid well and he had a nice place to stay. He often told the Princess stories from before he became a part of the royal guard and soon became irritated with the fact that the child was always stuck to his side. He would find relief elsewhere by secretly meeting the Princess of Yuua and continuing their forbidden relationship.

(played by Xavi)
SPOILERX
A man of honor, at least as far as gold is concerned, Bounty Hunter 1 also has a loyal heart. Not being the one originally assigned to the job, he takes over the contract upon the death of the original recipient. However, the temptations of beautiful women, riches and honor all knock on his door as the full details of the contract slowly become known to him. Bounty Hunter 2's mate is also the one that killed his best friend whom originally had the contract; because of this, he has also sworn to take out his nemesis.
and Leader of the Yuua Army
SPOILERX
The Fiancee of the Princess of Rashmaal. He was the one that requested to marry the Princess, though if he did it to help the two fighting nations or not, it is unknown. He seems to care for the Princess as when she goes missing, he takes it as a person offense and not only goes out searching for her, but wishes to capture her Guardian that let this all happen. The Prince is quick to organize the small platoon of troops he brought with him for protection, in hopes of finding the Princess.
SPOILERX
A lovely but fierce woman that seems to share the dislike of the Rashmaal nation as much as her mother and step father. At the same time, she is in a forbidden relationship with the Princess of Rashmaal's Guardian. Tired of all the attention the child gets, including from the Guardian, when word gets out that the Princess had vanished, the Princess of Yuua moves quickly in hiring an assassin to kill or otherwise capture the child Princess.

SPOILERX
Assassin 1 is sly, ruthless and just down right up to no good. Having come from the shadiest part of the shadiest region, it seems to have been a miracle that the whole of Yuua and Rashmaal hasn't been destroyed by them. Loyal to coin, it would not be unheard of for this crooked assassin to jump the gun on a different target or contract should it offer more than the one they are working on currently. They are a womanizer and a sneak; they could sleep with your lover while you're still in bed and you would never know it. They are skilled and dangerous, but also full of themselves and take pride in hearing of their handy work being noticed yet not known by whom the deed was done.

Often coming off as lazy and a good for nothing, Bounty Hunter 2 is actually a conniving sort with a dark history unknown to those around him, including the mate. This character is one to chase after riches and fame, though carries a hidden agenda.

SPOILERX
A creature not of this world. Bounty hunter 2's mate is a devious sort, often enjoying the trickery of the mortals that inhabit this planet. Having sworn completely loyalty to bounty hunter 2, the mate would do anything for them without question. The mate looks out for itself as well as for the bounty hunter; the rest of the world is unimportant. Should the bounty hunter deem something as important then that outlook may change for the mate. The mate is also the killer of Bounty Hunter 1's friend.

SPOILERX
A creature of the forest on the mountain, this character is a part of a pack of beasts that has long since been chased away by human kind. Though their kind has been around longer than humans and once lived in peace with them, they have been shunned and found themselves avoiding humans when they can. This is not to say that they do not find an interest in the race, but easier to avoid than find out if the human wants to fight. This character takes pity on the Guardian and agrees to help them on their quest to find the Princess after the Guardian explains why she is so important.

Though their reputation may be well known, their powers are not clear to anyone but themselves.
