Vacant Throne

Postby Startedraining » Sun Jan 12, 2014 6:59 pm

The long-awaited for roleplay between Cjr09 and Startedraining, the bestest of Elde-friends.

Plot line:
cjr09 wrote:LIKE HUNGER GAMES BUT WITH MAGIC.

Apocalypse between magical beings.Their world falls apart and they create a new government that happens to be a monarchy under Time Mages.
Once every ten years a new family has the chance to take the throne with one child. The children will compete against a series of others. The last one standing wins the throne for ten years, but the law cannot change. Every. Ten. Years. The current leaders press upon their children to win the challenges and keep their power. The current leaders have also been on the throne for several generations, because each time a child is born in the family, it's a time Mage. Since they've been in power they've become very violent, causing havoc and trying to change the rules between the humans and magic holders.(In our play, the time Mages will fall, but it will take a very long time.)

And who can stop them?

~My Characters~


Image


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Image


Image


"To the R I G H T, to the L E F T, we will F I G H T to the D E A T H"


Tetra is ruthless in battle, ready to kill anyone and everyone in the name of fighting. She doesn't take orders well, though is a brilliant leader in battle. Cold as she is, there is no truer friend.


"To the E D G E, of the E A R T H, it's a B R A V E"


She has been in countless battles and is a trained assassin, despite her young age of only about sixteen.


"N E W"


She raised herself- without family or friends, she refused to stoop to begging and made a name for herself as a thief lord and pirate before she'd hit double digits. With a completely unique fighting style, she uses a left-handed raiper- being left handed- a hunting knife, and staff. Her personal favorite, though, is her trident, sharpened at the sides, she can use it to slash as well as stab.


"W O R L D"


Image


She is actually rather small in stature, standing only at about 5'4, though seeming to tower over people. She has raven black hair that falls to the bottoms of her shoulder blades, contrasting sharply with her pale skin, white as a pearl even with spending her life at sea. She has a tribal sleeve tattoo that starts on her left shoulder and travels down to her elbow, sharply black against white. Her eyes are a deep, midnight blue, the color of the ocean depths she cherishes so much. She typically wears simple black clothing- cargo pants and tank top, with her raiper on her left hip and hunting knife behind her back, trident slung across her back. In her pirate's clothing, however, she has a heavy, navy cloak that falls to her ankles and a wide brimmed captain's hat with a single light blue feather sticking from it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[center]Image


Lyric is young, only fourteen, but a trained killer. He won't follow orders unless they're Tetra's- any others are typically ignored.


"SHIPWRECK in a sea of faces,"


Despite Lyric's jovial attitude, he's merciless. Fighting with a wide array of weapons, he's as deadly as they come.


It's a d r e a m y world up there,


Before he met Tetra, he was a well-known- and feared- thief and mercenary, able to kill in ways people never expected. In full battle garb, he has two bracers on her forearms, black with dark green patterns that conceal hidden blades, a never-ending supply of throwing knives kept on his person at all times, his beloved bow- a black-and-green metal one- strung across his back along with a quiver of arrows, also metal. His personal favorites are the dual swords crisscrossed across his back. All in all, he's armed to the teeth.


Dear friends in h i g h e r p l a c e s,


[center]Lyric is small, standing at only 4'5. He's thin and wiry, but far from weak. His greatest attribute is his speed- he's blindingly fast on his feet and, while he usually hangs back and picks off people from a distance, in the heat of battle he's everywhere at once. He usually wears rather simple clothing, long-sleeved black shirt and black cargo pants. He's never seen without his hidden blades. He has short, but still wild, black hair that sticks up in all directions, and teal-blue eyes the color of the sky and sea.[center]


(In this, I'm going to pretend they were both 'adopted' by families to fight in this- so they can put an end to the time mages. Tetra's preferred magic is water and ice- Lyric's is wind and storms. Working together, they can create hurricanes)

Fai
Image

(Pronounced Fay)

Species:
Half-human mage, and half nymph.Image
Credit: ye

Appearance/body:
She's very thin and wears dancing robes that expose her naval and the majority of her legs and arms. On occasion she will wear white robes that cover her shoulders and down to her knees, but nothing more.

Special mage abilities/nymph abilities?
When she wants to hide she transforms into a Joshua tree. She can hear and feel everything around her roots, but she cannot extend them any farther than ten feet.
She is an elemental mage, but this only means she can control four elements. One element at a time. If she were using water with one hand, she cannot use fire with the other.
She can pull water from the air around her, the moisture. She can add heat to the air around her, as well as stir up dust and blind an opponent. She can use a force push to push away many people around her (limited to five feet)

For all the buzz once the tournament begins, before it is just plain boring.

There are tents set up all around a practice arena, where competitors wait or practice or form alliances, and that's exactly where Tetra and Lyric were.

Each competitor was allowed one weapon to take with them and one only- dual wields and bows and arrows counted as one- so Lyric had decided upon his dual wield swords and Tetra her staff.

They were sort of milling about, trying to collect information but there was so many people here it was impossible to get much of anything. So far, all they knew was the first day was a bloodbath- once the starting cannon went off take cover and hide.

But for now, all they could do was wait.

Fiddling around with her beads, Fai was unsure of what to do. She sat alone, in her tent, the drape keeping out others was tightly sealed, and she rested in a pool of white cloth and lace. She had pulled her hair up out of her face with a braid and tied it into a tail at the top of her head, and planned on wearing orange and brown robes that would keep out heat and allow maneuvering in close quarters.
She reached up and pushed away one strand of hair that managed to escape the tight braid. It floated back down and tickled her nose.

Fai stood up, a skimpy white night gown hung over her shoulders and reached high on her thighs. She stripped it off and replaced it with the combat robes and slung a small dagger around her waist, keeping the cloth from tangling her legs. She yanked on boots and fixed her beads, then pulled open the drape.

The sun was high in the sky, and she was fighting first thing. She was 17 and her family had sent her here to win, and that was exactly what she was going to do. Many other contestants were faux-dueling with each other, most likely siblings.

She wondered who she would go up against, and felt very scared. People could die in these tournaments.

Lyric and Tetra are discussing their battle plan quietly when a gong sounds- calling all the contestants to the middle field, and it's there the true magnitude of the amount of people there hits them.

Probably around a thousand kids- anywhere in the age range from seven to eighteen, all gathered in one spot, ready to kill one another.

The youngest are crying- tears streaming down their faces, sniffing and clutching rusty and broken knives and pitchforks to themselves.

They flinch and look away.

"All contestants will be sorted into groups of fifty, and placed in designated battlefields. Teams can be anywhere from ten to one, and that team will continue on into the next round until we have twenty teams left. Each of you will do your best to please our lords-" and oh, hey, look at that. The Time Mage Lords were here too- "and fight for your honor, your family, and your kingdom!"

A roaring applause from most- lots of these kids seemed born and bred for this, aching to kill- while others remained pointedly silent, arms crossed.

"You can forfeit at any time and will be sent back to your homes, and will never be allowed to compete again, nor will your family," Well, so much for trying to avoid the kids getting hurt- because if they leave to save themselves, they doom their families.

They can only hope they never have to cross blades with them.

The officials start rounding up kids in large groups to take to their section of forest, so Tetra and Lyric tag onto a relatively small one to ensure they'd be together.

They share a look and tighten their grips on their weapons.

Fai followed the crowd and listened intently, finding that they would be separated before they began to duel. Fai noticed that some people were actually eager, perhaps they had been preparing for this... maybe for years. She also noticed that others seemed small compared to them, timid and trying desperately to vanish. She gazed around and tried to think of everyone's special mutation, their special secret that only they would know until the dueling began. Was she going to be able to keep up with her teammates?

She locked eyes with a heavy-set young man of about eighteen, and wondered what his ability was. Perhaps it was strength, as many people had this ability, it was rather common. She broke away from his look and stared at a young girl with silvery blonde hair, who was rather pale and sickly. Perhaps she had a speed ability, as she had smaller weapons than Fai had.

Well, that was enough of that, people were beginning to disperse, avidly seeking another person they knew. Fai grunted, and adjusted her beaded ties. She was urged into a group of maybe twelve children and young adults, all of which were formidable looking opponents. Fai brushed past a girl and a boy, both pretty similar in looks, with black hair and grim faces.

She silently thanked herself for being thrown into this group, they were pretty scary-looking. They would aide the team well.

Okay, more like the team would aide them.

The leaders herd them all into a building- entirely blank and bland, but large enough to house the fighters.

A speaker from the adults steps into the center of the room- which is a dull gray, with only two windows and one door, but about five adults line the wall with the door- glaring at all the competitors should someone decide to try killing people straight off.

There's now the same amount of people in this group as the others- about fifty- and it's starting to get crowded as they get antsy.

Finally, the man speaks- "You are hereby free to form teams as you see fit- go on your own or up to ten. The last team standing wins, and they move on to the next round. You will see the battle area when you get there. Each round can last up to a week- outlast or outfight your other opponents to win. If you make it to the edge of the territory, you may forfeit or turn back, but you may not leave. During the competition, you may keep anything you find in the arena, including weapons, food, and containers, for use in your other competitions."

He turns sharply on his heel- exiting swiftly now that he'd said his piece.

Time to scope out the competition then.

There were some people they'd be sure to avoid- probably wouldn't go down in fighting or by exposure, but teaming up would result in a knife through the back. There were younger kids- most of them had huddled together in a corner of the room- and they could only hope they wouldn't have to cross blades with any of them. Then there were the ones that looked like them- Not really sure where to be, but didn't look like they'd be easy kills and wouldn't be likely to turn around and kill their teammates.

Of course, appearances weren't everything.

There wasn't any way to tell who to team up with- they'd have to form alliances in the arena to get anywhere, but for now, they were a duo.


(You can send us into the arena, if you'd like)

Fai started forward, reaching the head of the crowd, eager to just get out of the building. She wanted desperately to wait in the back, but she knew she needed to hide first, perhaps on the edge of the fields and stay stangant as a Joshua for a couple hours. She smiled, that is what she would do.

There was a man in a white suit and red tie, who cleared his throat, "You have ten minutes to prepare, after those ten minutes are up you will need to be out in the arena and not in this room. If you are left in this room after that timer," he turns to the wall, which opened and exposed a countdown stuck on 10:00, "you will be disqualified and possibly killed."

He smiled, "Good luck," and with a small bow, he turned away and the timer started counting down.

(*PANICS LOUDLY* WHOOPS)

The Arena doors are open- a group of ten- probably preformed before this damn tournament even started- is standing at the very back wall, across from the doors.

They're smiling in a way that only suggests hunters.

And they're staring at the kids.

"Lyr, what letter are we on," Tetra stage-whispers to Lyric, not taking her eyes from the hunter group.

"What do you mean what letter are we on the tournament hasn't even started yet how on Earth could we do something stupid that fast," He stage-whispers back- he can already see where this is going.

But they'll take some heat off the backs of the kids- long enough for them to get to the edge of the territory and forfeit the match.

"Hey, kids," Tetra calls, louder than the dull roar of the contestants chatters, and the afformented group of children looks to her with startled and tear stained eyes. "Take this from someone who knows their way around a battle- get out of here fast, and do not stop running until you hit the fence, then go home. Okay? Your lives are worth a lot more than this tournament. You got that?"

Most of them are too stunned to do anything, but a few nod and lead the others out the doors- herding them to safety, hopefully.

"Well, looky here mates- we've got ourselves a right hero here!" One of the hunters laughs to his friends, and Tetra just glares at him, standing up straight with a hand on her staff.

"If you've got something to say about me, say it to my face," she spits, accent growing thicker and growling out her words.

"There will be no fighting before the cannon sounds!" A volunteer/staff yells, hand on the sword at his side. "Now get out, you're down to only five minutes!"

Tetra and Lyric herd a small group of older youths out with them- that hunter group stays back, waiting for the cannon, probably- and only stop their pushing when they get closer to the forest.

"Run and hide, and do not come out because that group back there is out for blood. Run for the fence, if you know what's good for you. Good luck," Tetra says, making eye contact with every member there- a few of them already ran for the fence.

"If you think you can fight and kill, stay and we'll team up. We fight or we die- there is no middle ground," Her voice raises as the sentence goes on- this was no place for children or cowards. They couldn't afford to keep anyone on their team who would flinch at what had to be done.

They could only pray that they'd found some trustworthy ones.
